The legend of the Pauline lantern

There is a huge stone on the west peak of Huashan, the waist is broken into three sections, and the space under the stone is like the imprint left by a woman lying on her back, the image is vivid, this is the axe splitting stone. The story of agarwood splitting the mountain to save the mother that has been circulated in the world happened here.
　　According to legend, the three nieces of the Jade Emperor's sister (one said that the third daughter) (one said that it was the third sister of Erlang God Yang Jian) Yang Lian (also called Yang Chan) lived in the Xueying Palace in the Xiyue Temple. People call her the Three Madonna.
　　In the spring of one year, a man surnamed Liu Mingxi and Yanchang went to Beijing to take the exam and passed by Huayin. I heard that the three niangniang in the Xiyue temple were kind and Pudu, very effective, so they respectfully walked into the temple, and in front of the incense case of the Xueying Palace, they were sincerely afraid to go to a pillar of incense and kowtowed three heads. However, unfortunately, the Three Holy Ladies were not in the palace at that time, and Liu Yan even drew three lots. Thinking of ten years of cold windows, nine years of boiling oil, uncertain future, and hopeless fame, I couldn't help but feel sad from my heart, so I chanted a limerick poem with resentment, which was inscribed on the wall of Xueying Palace. The poem is written like this: "Liu Xi is full of anger when he lifts the pen, complaining about the three mothers of milk, living in the shrine like iron, and accepting the incense in vain." After inscribed the poem, Liu Yanchang brushed the dust on his sleeves, held his head high, and walked away.
　　The Three Virgins returned to the palace with auspicious clouds, listened to the doorman tell what had just happened, and looked at the inscription on the wall and was ashamed and annoyed. Lingzhi was even more indignant, and hurriedly comforted the three virgins and said: "Our Lady, don't be angry, I don't think that crazy life is not far away, I will definitely give him some color to see, and avenge this insult for Our Lady." So the master and servant drove the clouds, summoned the wind and rain master Lei Gongdian, and ordered them to do it immediately.
　　Liu Yanchang was on his way. The clear sky was suddenly overcast, the wind was fierce, the lightning was thundering, and the rain was pouring down, and before he could come up with a reason, he became a soup chicken. Pity him, a scholar, how could he withstand such rain and wind, and he didn't struggle a few steps before he fell into the mud.
　　The resentment of the Three Holy Mothers has been swept away, and her heart is very happy, while ordering the four immortal masters to collect the clouds and rain, while standing on the head of the clouds and looking down carefully, only to find that the person who fell to the ground was actually a white-faced scholar with clear eyebrows and weak eyes. I saw that his blue shirt was covered with muddy water, the bookbox was overturned, and the four treasures of the study room were scattered all over the place. Thinking that this storm might ruin the scholar's future, a trace of pity and a little admiration arose, and she couldn't help but sigh softly. Seeing Liu Yanchang's embarrassed appearance, Lingzhi had already moved his heart of compassion, and saw that the three virgins were in love with Liu Yanchang, and even more wanted the beauty of adults, so he hurriedly said: "It seems that the scholar's pink wall inscription poem is not very malicious." The storm was too strong. We can't die without help. As she spoke, she pointed a little, and a bamboo hut appeared in front of Liu Yanchang. Soon, a 70-year-old white-haired woman and a 17-year-old clever village girl came out of the hut.
　　The mother-in-law and the village aunt carried the unconscious Liu Yanchang into the thatched hut, decocted medicine and boiled soup, made tea and cooked rice, and took care of him very carefully. The village girl and Liu Yanchang hit it off at first sight, bamboo and poems, reading together under the lamp, respecting each other like guests, and gradually falling in love. The mother-in-law saw that this pair of children was in love, and even boasted that they were born a pair and made a pair on the ground, so she chose an auspicious day and made them conclude a hundred years of goodness. It's a pity that the exam date is imminent, and Liu Yanchang didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he agreed to return and reluctantly went to Beijing to take the exam.
　　People often say that there is no impermeable wall in the world, but unfortunately this strange fate soon entered the heavenly court, and the Jade Emperor was annoyed and angry, and immediately sent Yang Jian, the god of law, to arrest the Three Holy Mother. The second brother of the Three Holy Mother, Erlang God, came to Xueying Palace and reprimanded the Three Holy Mother for violating the rules of heaven and the sin was unforgivable. The Third Lady said that she would rather be removed from the immortal list, but also be accompanied by Liu Yanchang and grow old together. Erlang God saw that the Third Holy Mother was resolute and unrepentant, and in a fit of anger, he cast a spell to press her under the stone on the west peak of Huashan.
　　Liu Yanchang won the examination, and the imperial court sent him to Luozhou to serve as the magistrate. He was anxious to go home for a reunion, and then took his wife to Luozhou to take up his post. But when he entered the Huayin realm, the bamboo hut that tied the knot a few months ago has long been gone. Liu Yanchang asked around, and people said that there had never been a village there, let alone a mother-in-law or village girl. Liu Yanchang sighed that a watery tenderness suddenly turned into smoke, he wanted to cry without tears, and he had no way to complain, so he had to go to Luozhou alone to take up his post.
　　The three virgins gave birth to a child under the stone, named it agarwood, and wrapped it in a blood book, so that Yahuan Ganoderma lucidum was sent to Luozhou. Agarwood grew up, knew the origin of his birth, and was so sad that he secretly made up his mind to go to Huashan to rescue his mother. In order to make Agarwood practice a martial art that can defeat Erlang God, and in order to steal the divine axe from the Heavenly Palace, Lingzhi did not hesitate to destroy his thousand-year-old cultivation, and would rather incarnate into a stone than help Agarwood rescue his mother.
　　Later, Agarwood defeated Erlang God with a divine axe, Agarwood came to Huashan with a divine axe, saw a mountain full of boulders, I don't know which stone my mother pressed on, I was so anxious that I cried loudly, crying until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were not bright, even the mountain god was moved, and hurriedly came out to point out and said: "Filial child, your mother is at the top of the lotus peak." ”
　　Agarwood followed the guidance of the mountain god, wiped away his tears, and raised the axe to the top of the west peak and struggled to chop. I heard a bang, the sky shook, and the boulder was broken into three pieces. The Three Virgins slowly walked out of it, mother and son recognized each other, mixed with joy and sorrow, and wept bitterly. After that, Liu Yanchang also abandoned his official position and came to Huashan to live in seclusion, in order to reunite his relatives and stay together for the rest of his life......
　　Today, the mountain where Agarwood cries and calls for her mother is named Xiaozi Peak; The place where Liu Yanchang lived in seclusion is called Liu Xitai; The Lingzhi stone transformed by Yahuan Ganoderma lucidum in the valley is slim. Next to the axe splitting stone of the west peak, the Huashan divine axe stands majestically, and there is a poem inscribed on the axe: "Huashan divine axe, seven feet have five." Give it to agarwood, split the mountain to save the mother. Later, the story was made into a play and a movie by artists, and it has been performed for a long time.
