Five beautiful female peaks
The beautiful Five Female Peaks have many magical and touching stories among the people.
Since the seven fairies came down to earth, they angered the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and brought them back to the Heavenly Palace, they were strictly guarded and were not allowed to leave the Heavenly Palace. However, fairies always yearn for a free life on earth. On this day, Seven Sisters got together and secretly discussed finding a chance to come down to earth again. The boss said, "Mom has a big birthday every year. At that time, all the immortals will come to the Heavenly Palace with the best gifts to celebrate her birthday. Why don't we take this opportunity to come down to earth, so that we can get back the treasures of the world and give them to our mother, and secondly, we can take the opportunity to play in the world for a few more months, killing two birds with one stone. " Sisters think this is a good idea, but what is the most precious thing in the world? The elder sister added, "I heard that there are thousands of ginseng plants in Changbai Mountain, which can live forever. Why don't we ask our mother's permission? " After the discussion, the two sisters went to visit the heavenly queen together and explained their purpose.
The Queen Mother listened to the request of her daughters, and her heart moved, thinking: I have long heard that the thousand-year-old ginseng in Changbai Mountain has the effect of rejuvenating people. But the family has its own laws, heaven has its own laws, and fairies are not allowed to descend to earth. Who will be sent? If the people sent were unreliable and something happened halfway, wouldn't it be a big deal! "The heavenly queen feels old. If she can really eat ginseng for thousands of years on her birthday, it will be her own luck. He called his seven daughters to his side and said, "Since you are really filial to your mother, I will make an exception and promise you to go to Changbai Mountain to find a thousand-year-old ginseng. However, Lao Qi has broken the rules of heaven and is not allowed to leave the palace again. Lao Liu stays with his mother. " After that, he ordered his eldest daughter to lead four younger sisters to the world.
The next day, the five fairies waved their long sleeves and floated to Changbai Mountain. Along the way, they were like birds flying in cages. Unconsciously, they drifted over 66 ridges and swam over 99 mountains. When they passed the Laoling Mountains, they were suddenly fascinated by the scenery here. As soon as the two sisters discussed it, they stopped there. It's not too late to go shopping for a few days and then find Millennium ginseng. So five fairies dressed up as village girls to collect herbs. When you meet someone, you say you want to go up the mountain to collect medicine. When no one is around, they secretly come to the green river to dress up and bathe and play in the river.
During this period, the sisters often met a strong man named Gao Tai in a nearby village. Gao Tai goes out early and comes back late every day, passing by here. They learned that Gao Tai's parents had already passed away, and now they live alone. They are kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, and everyone in the village loves to ask him for help. One day, the sisters pretended to get lost while collecting herbs on the mountain, so they stopped Gao Tai and begged him to lead the way up the mountain. Lengding from Gao Tai was stopped in front of her by five big girls. She blushed for a moment and her neck was thick. It's too late to hide. She thought, what can a big boy do to a big girl? The fairy saw through Gao Tai's mind and pretended to be sad and anxious. She said, "My mother is very ill. It is said that there are thousand-year-old ginseng here, and our sisters are not familiar with the way up the mountain. Please ask big brother for help! " Hearing this, Gao Tai was moved by the filial piety of her five sisters. Moreover, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are often wild animals. How can I get out of the ruins of short supply? So I asked my sisters to go up the mountain to find ginseng.
Since then, Gao Tai and five sisters have walked under the stars every day and then returned to their home on the moon. After half a month, they finally found a thousand-year-old ginseng. My sisters think my mother's birthday is coming. The five fairies bid farewell to the high platform, thanked them a thousand times, and reluctantly returned to the Heavenly Palace.
Since the five fairies discovered the thousand-year-old ginseng; Sisters are particularly favored in front of the queen mother, and they are not as strict as before. However, sisters always miss Gao Tai in their hearts, and often sneak down to the green river and wait for Gao Tai to pass by, so that they can meet thousands of people. But I haven't seen you for several days. On this day, the five sisters came to the green river again, waiting and waiting. Seeing that the sun is about to get stuck, the elder sister said, it's getting late, so let's go home, or we can't go back to Tianmen Pass. "The five fairies said," Wait a little longer, maybe we can meet. Speaking of which, I saw Gao Tai walking out of the Woods across the Green Water River with a bow and arrow on his back and prey on his shoulder. At this time, the sun has set. The five sisters happily ran to meet them, asking questions, talking and laughing, and regardless of whether they were happy or not, they forgot all about their deaths.
Suddenly the sky thundered and thundered, and the wind blew suddenly. Originally, after arriving at Tianmen, the Queen Mother found that all five daughters were gone, so she sent heavenly soldiers to look around and learned that the five fairies had secretly descended to see Gao Tai. This angered the Queen Mother, and the Jade Emperor also blamed her, and ordered the heavenly soldiers to demote the five women to the world. Wherever they went, they were all stone bodies, leaving dust forever. The thunder and wind stopped and the five fairies disappeared. Five peaks rose from the ground on the banks of the green water. Afterwards, the people learned that these five village girls were originally the five fairies of the Heavenly Palace, so they named these five peaks "Five Female Peaks".
Legend has it that the tallest of the "Five Female Peaks" is the eldest of the five fairies, called "Tiannvfeng", which makes dense forests and all kinds of precious flowers and trees grow here, and all kinds of fairies gather here to bless the people and creatures here, so that people here can live and work in peace and contentment and lead a rich and beautiful life.
