The origin of marsh mountain

It is said that more than a thousand years ago, there was no name of the marsh mountain at that time. In the depth of 418.5 meters above sea level, there was an ancient temple hidden among the tea flowers, maple leaves, pines and bamboo shadows. The temple was magnificent, with flying eaves around the fog, flying clouds, painted beams and carved buildings, and green buildings. The local people called it "grand temple". In the center of the Buddhist hall in the temple sits a big golden Bodhisattva painted with gold. His body is big and his hands and feet are big. Especially his thick eyebrows and big eyes are shining with dazzling golden light. It gives people a sense of dignity and sharpness. It is said that this fire eye can see through people's hearts and identify honest officials and corrupt officials. This Bodhisattva has a strange temper. If a corrupt official comes here, his fiery eyes will be on the corrupt official, as if to say: "you corrupt official, go far away, don't pollute my holy land of Buddhism." If an honest official comes, his big feet will shake gently from left to right. That is to say to the honest official: "welcome to our temple." When pilgrims and people came to the temple, his big feet stopped walking. one year, a magistrate came to Daye county. He was greedy and ingenious. He collected taxes, took bribes and asked for bribes. He bled the people's blood and sweat and lived a life of extravagance. One day, when he was passing by the temple with a group of Yamen servants, he wanted to go into the temple to have a rest
