The first heavy sky, also called the Four Heavenly Kings, is located on four peaks on the mountainside of Xu Mi.

Extended data:
1. The Four Heavenly Kings (Sanskrit:, Caturmahārājakayikas), also known as the Four Heavenly Kings for Protecting the World, are Buddhist dharma gods, commonly known as "Four donkey kong". The four heavenly kings are the four gods in the twenty celestial realms, located in the first heaven, also known as the four heavenly kings.
According to Buddhist classics, there is a mountain in the belly of Xumi Mountain, named Gandhara Mountain, and there are four mountains on the mountain, each of which lives in one mountain, protecting the world (four continents, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanshan Wuzhou, Xiniuhezhou and Beiju Luzhou), so it is also called the Four Kings to protect the world, which is the first of the six desires of heaven.
Their statues are usually located on both sides of the first hall of Jingtuzong Temple, so they are also called the Temple of the King of Heaven.
Second, the statue is exquisite:
Four heavenly kings are half a mile high and armour weighs half a second. They live in the square of Mount Sumi. Fifty years on earth is a day and a night for the four great kings, and 10,800 years on earth is an instant. Punish evil and promote good, protect the country and benefit the people, so it is also known as the four kings of protecting the world.
In the Ming Dynasty, after the list of gods came out, there was great confusion. It was said that Jia Mengguan had four brothers: Mo, Molihong, Mo Lihai and Mo Lishou.
One is holding a pipa, the other is holding a treasure umbrella, the other is holding a snake, and the other is holding a sword. In this way, after the Ming Dynasty, our temple statues were not based on classics, but on legends, and the statues of the four heavenly kings were aligned with the list of gods.
. The list of gods said that he could play the pipa, so he was given a plastic pipa. The list of gods said that if he took it, he would take the treasure umbrella. In fact, there is no record of holding these instruments in ancient books, but some people hold knives, halberds, towers and pearls.
But there is nothing about other snake-entangled hands.
If we go to Japan now, we can see the statues of the four great kings in Japanese temples, all of which are carved according to the records of Buddhist scriptures. The statues of the four heavenly kings we see now are more inclined to folklore.
