Wonderful story

The strange thousand Dragon Cave has a moving story since ancient times. It is said that a long time ago, there was a newly married couple in Shishan village, Hainan Province. Their male name was Lao AI and their female name was Shi Lun. Shishan village is full of stones. There is no place to dig a well for water. Petrochemicals have to cross the mountains to carry water from Nanliu River every morning and evening.

Lao AI was very distressed for his wife, so he decided to transfer the Nanliu River to the north to solve the problem of drinking water for the whole village. He practiced Kung Fu hard. One day, he asked his wife to take three cans of wine, drank them all at once, and went straight to the foot of Nanmen mountain. With all his strength, he broke Nanmen mountain, blocked Nanliu River and led the river to Shishan village. After Lao AI blocked the Nanliu River, there was a water shortage in Nantian mansion, which angered the king of Nantian. He threatened to attack Shishan village and kill Lao AI alive. When Lao AI got the news, he and his wife dug a deep stone cave to guard against the attack of the southern heavenly king.

Shishan village men, women, old and young also act together, digging holes with Lao AI every day. As the cave was dug deeper and deeper, there was no water in the cave. Lao AI asked the king Hailong to send thousands of dragons to dig underground rivers to divert water into the bottom of the cave. In the cave, Lao AI built stone tables, stone beds, stone lamps and stone vats. Shi Lun depicts all kinds of beautiful patterns on the cave wall. After the completion of the cave, whenever the southern king sent troops to attack, Lao AI, Shi Lun and the villagers all hid in the cave to avoid disaster. Ten million years later, a thousand dragon village appeared near the cave, so people called the cave "thousand Dragon Cave".
