Duan Younao
Dadongou Town, Zezhou County, is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, with a "forty miles long river and one dock" "Every time there is a flood in the rainy season, the river rises, and the mountain torrents gather, the villages on both sides of the Changhe River will be flooded. However, Shuanghedi Village, not far from Donggou Town, is also on the bank of the Changhe River. But he was safe. It turned out that there was a place in the northeast corner of Hedi Village where the emperor planted "water-avoiding beads" to intercept the flood and prevent the water from flowing through the village. ", it is also related to the birth of the empress in Hedi Village.
The incident of the empress in Hedi Village happened nearly two hundred years ago. The emperor fell in love with a woman from Hedi Village, so he took a The couple came to get married. On the first night before the wedding, they stayed in Hedihe Village. There was a cross street in the village, leading to Jincheng in the east and Qinshuichangdian in the west. , from Zhoucun in the south to Dayang in the north, was a major transportation route at that time. The emperor had to pass through this place when he went to Hedi Village. It was getting late and it rained heavily. The floods kept rising, and soon they rushed into the Hedi Village. The emperor was worried, so he used his magical magic to lower the "water-avoiding beads" and told the rising mountain torrents to bypass the Hedi Hexiang Village.
It is said that the lady from Hedi Village was originally a daughter named Zhou. She was born with a bald head and wore a hat all the year round. She was known as the "Golden Bowl Hat" and had a daughter-in-law. She is Zhou's daughter's sister-in-law. She thinks that Zhou's daughter is bald and often looks down on her, saying that she can't get married. Zhou's daughter says: "I will still be a queen in the future, and when the time comes, I will still step on your feet." What about the shoulder-carrying sedan? The sister-in-law became even more angry after hearing this and cursed: "No one would want a girl like you." "And what about Zhou's daughter? But she persisted in her own ideas and always believed that she could become a queen and one day the emperor would marry her.
This is about the Nanman people. What are Nanman people? They are from the south. People who go to the north to watch Feng Shui, cast spells, and create evil spirits. In recent days, when the Southern Barbarians were practicing magic, they suddenly saw that the pulse energy in the Changhe River area was strong. A noble person was about to be born here. The Southern Barbarians were jealous at this moment. , trying to get rid of this noble man and destroy this vein.
By the way, on the day when the emperor came to marry Empress Zhou, the Nanman people discovered a needle tree east of Hedong Village, and its roots were straight. It grows rapidly towards the main hall of the temple in Hedong Village. If the roots of this needle tree enter the main hall of the temple in Hedong Village, a noble person will appear in the village. The Nanman people will quietly send people to dig up the roots and observe in secret.
As for the emperor, he came to Hedihe Village the night before. Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain and the floods surged. The emperor hurriedly lowered the "water-avoiding beads" to make the floods recede and walked around the village. On the day of the wedding, the weather was clear. The emperor went to Hedong Village to marry Lady Zhou. Before she got on the sedan, Lady Zhou swallowed a handful of rice and spit it out. The rice turned into pearls and scattered on the ground. , hurriedly knelt down to pick up the pearls. Sister Zhou held down her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law quickly grabbed the sedan. Sister Zhou stepped on her sister-in-law's shoulders and got into the sedan. The emperor's wedding team carried Sister Zhou in the sedan out of the village. Walking along the road.
The Nanman people didn't know the news, but they noticed that the roots of the needle tree were growing faster, so they sent someone to find an ax and started to chop it down in the sedan chair. A nosebleed occurred, and the emperor immediately ordered the sedan to be stopped for treatment. As soon as the sedan stopped, the roots of the needle tree stopped growing, and Zhou's daughter's nosebleed stopped after a night's rest. The emperor ordered the carriage to be continued the next day. As the sedan moved forward, Lady Zhou was sitting in the sedan, and the Nanman people went to observe the roots of the needle tree again, and found that they had grown a lot more, and the roots continued to grow, extending straight towards the main hall of the temple in Hedong Village. , He hurriedly chopped again, and kept cutting. Zhou's daughter had a nosebleed again, and the bleeding continued. The emperor had to stop the sedan chair to treat Zhou's daughter during the day, and the Nanman people carried the sedan on the road at night. The roots of the tree were growing rapidly at night, so he sent people to chop them down day and night. The daughter of Zhou suffered from severe bleeding from both noses. The emperor tried every means, but could not cure it.
As a result, Zhou's daughter died on the way before she could be carried back to the palace to be a queen.
The people of Hedong Village said that if the roots of the needle tree continue to grow and are not cut off by the Nanman people, once they enter the main hall of Hedong Village, the people of Hedong Village will be rich and powerful, and so will Zhou's daughter. She will definitely become a queen. The blessed land pulse energy in Hedong Village was all destroyed by the Nanman people.
However, the emperor's coming to Changhe to marry Zhou's daughter also brought benefits to Hedihe Village on the banks of Changhe. That is, the emperor used "water-avoiding beads" to protect the villages, so that the people of Hedihe Village did not suffer from floods later.
Hedihe Village, now also known as Shuanghedi Village, is a small village in Dadongou Town. The "water-avoiding bead" is still in the northeast corner of Hedihe Village. Local people say that the "water-avoiding pearl" is a bright, smooth piece of ice. No matter how fierce the flood is every year, the flow here becomes slow and leisurely, and goes around the village. Therefore, Hedihe Village has never been flooded. "Water-avoiding beads" are very effective!
