King Zheyi is getting old. Who will inherit the throne? The subjects asked ten princes Yi Che to succeed to the throne, but the upper nine brothers didn't agree, so they decided to compete. As a result, ten Prince Yiche won. After the old king died of illness, the nine princes took the opportunity to fight to kill ten princes and seize the throne. Yi Che fled to Amu Darya mountain. The nine princes' pursuers soon surrounded the Amu Darya mountain, and finally set the mountain on fire, trying to burn ten princes' Yiche to death. All of a sudden, a gazelle appears and runs away with ten Prince Yi's car. Unfortunately, the gazelle is hit by an arrow and falls to the ground. Ten Prince Yi's car has to run to the apore mountain alone. He ran and ran, his shoes ran away, his trousers were hung by the branches and trees, and there was only a piece of covered shorts left. He couldn't run any more. He fell under a big green tree and cried. the cry touched the heaven's Momi (the God respected by Yiche people of Hani nationality), so he lowered three pure white "Pachang" and asked ten Prince Yiche to put on "Pachang" and hide in the white flowers to avoid the pursuit. After the pursuers left, ten Prince Yi's car continued to march to the top of the mountain, and met the seven princesses of the good and beautiful God of the mountain.
