During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a fisherman came here and tried to take the silver cake, but a snake came out and killed the fisherman. That night, God told the fisherman's family that the fisherman would die because he stole his money. The fairy warned people not to try to get something for nothing, and stealing treasures will eventually be rewarded.
This matter is not over yet. A wealthy businessman named Xu Dao, seeing the wealth in the cave, also had evil thoughts and coveted these silver cakes. He found someone to build momentum for him and prepared drinks to worship the immortal, hoping that his theft would be recognized by the immortal. However, contrary to expectations, after he entered the cave, the mountain was shaken in an instant. This scene frightened Xu Dao and had to be defeated and flee.
Although this is only a legendary story, it also illustrates a truth: without easy-to-get wealth, what you have not worked hard for is the past tense. Even in the mountains and forests, if you are insatiable, you will pay the price of your life. The treasure in the cave may be a warning to the world.
You may wonder why all the treasures in the caves mentioned in the book are silver cakes, not gold and jewels. In fact, this was related to the local silver mining in Guangdong at that time. Many local people made a fortune by panning silver mines. For them, the money is a treasure given to them by God.
