According to legend, Wang has three daughters: the eldest daughter Miaoyuan, the second daughter and the third daughter Miaoshan. Because Miaoshan was born in the royal family, she was called "Princess", and because she ranked third, she was also called "Yincui gorge". When Yincui gorge was born, colorful clouds circled the palace. She was able to write poetry when she was young, and at the age of thirteen she was charming and didn't admire wealth.
King Zhuang has no prince, only three sisters, Miaoshan. In order to please the kings of neighboring countries, King Zhuang betrothed his third daughter to his prince to inherit the great cause. But yincui gorge insisted on becoming a monk, unwilling to get married, and would rather die than follow. In a rage, King Zhuang imprisoned Sanhuang's aunt in the harem, resulting in Yincui gorge staying out of water for several days and looking haggard. Queen Baode loves her daughter dearly and quietly lets her out to escape.
Yincui gorge first went to Baique Temple (located in Naodian Town, Baofeng County, Henan Province) to practice, but was soon known by Zhuang Wang, who sent people to force her back to the palace. Zhuang Wang was very angry when she insisted on not coming back. He set fire to the temple. The queen cried her eyes out for it. Actually, Sanhuanggu was not burned to death. She was rescued by believers and hid in Huozhu Mountain (namely Xiangshan Mountain).
After King Zhuang burned Baique Temple, Yincui gorge couldn't see anyone alive and her body died. He became ill with anxiety. After consulting Wang Zhuang, the doctor said, "The holy king's illness can only be cured with one hand and one eye of his own flesh and blood, otherwise, even the doctor can do nothing." Zhuang Wang's eldest daughter and second daughter refused to give up their lives to save their father.
Just when Zhuang Wang was terminally ill, the door official informed him: "Third Aunt came back and asked to give her eyes as her father." Zhuang Wang recovered and Miaoshan passed away. Chu Zhuangwang wept bitterly. "I can't help it, but my daughter will die with her hands and eyes mutilated. May the God of heaven and earth revive my son, regenerate her dead eyes and restore her broken arm. "
As soon as the words sound just fell, the heavens and the earth shone brightly, and Miaoshan immediately finished the hand-eye work. Xiaogan, Miao Shan, made great achievements. When he reached the Tao, he became avalokitesvara, soaring in the daytime.
In memory of his beloved daughter, King Zhuang ordered craftsmen to carve a statue of Sanhuanggu (Miaoshan) with "all hands and all eyes" in the hall. As a result, craftsmen mistook "hands are powerless to bind chickens, eyes are powerless to bind chickens" for "thousands of hands and thousands of eyes", so they carved a statue of Sanhuanggu () with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes.
2. The Legend of Pugu
Nowadays, there is a legend circulating in boxing. Once upon a time, there was a small country named Guo Pu and the king named Miao Zhuang. He had no children and only three daughters. At that time, people called Wang's daughter Huang Gu. At that time, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were married, and only the third aunt was young and unmarried.
At this time, the old gentleman said that he could write a prescription. As long as they take the medicine according to the prescription, they can cure King Miao Zhuang's illness, but the prescription is really hard to find. They must use the child's eyes and hands as drug introducers. Plus, these drugs can be taken together after pain, at least to save lives. Before the five of them could react, the old man put the prescription on Wang's bed and left.
Before dawn the next day, King Miao Zhuang, who was in unbearable pain, asked the queen to call her three daughters to bed and tell them the dream she had last night. But what King Miao Zhuang didn't expect was that they had the same dream. What's more strange is that there really is a prescription in front of King Miao Zhuang's bed. At this time, they may think it is God's will to treat King Miao Zhuang.
Thinking of this, I am worried about Wang. What can I do with this drug primer? In the face of this scene, the three daughters look at me and I look at you. The king is in unbearable pain and sigh. The queen looked at the king and her three daughters and cried.
At this time, my aunt said that the child was not at ease to go back to her husband's house to look after the child, and then turned around and left; When the second aunt saw that her sister had left, she said that the child was too young to leave home and stay outside for too long. Then she picked up the baby and left. Third Aunt stood up, looked at her father lying in bed, looked at her crying mother and left without saying a word.
Third Huang Gu returned to Xiulou, told the maid-in-waiting to call the physician and the bodyguard, and ordered the bodyguard to tie himself to a post, gouge out his eyes and chop off his hands. Doctors and bodyguards were scared to death. Third aunt told them about her dream and what had just happened. The physician and the bodyguard carried out the resolution of Sanhuanggu with tears in their eyes.
The doctor bandaged Sanhuanggu, who was unconscious, and quickly made a primer with Sanhuanggu's eyes and hands, and brought the fried medicine to Wang, who took the medicine with tears in his eyes. A few days later, the sore on Wang's back disappeared.
King Miao Zhuang was deeply moved by the story of Sanhuanggu. King Miao Zhuang didn't forget his filial daughter, so he called ministers to reward Sanhuanggu face to face, and ordered Guo Pu to be renamed Puguguo and his daughter named "Xiao" to remind people of Sanhuanggu and publicize her filial piety. The Buddha in the Western Heaven was very moved when he heard about Sanhuanggu's filial piety. He personally went down to Lingshan to prepare to make her a Buddha and enjoy human sacrifices to educate people about filial piety.
After hearing this, King Miao Zhuang asked the Buddha to turn his daughter into a "Buddha with hands and eyes". It's a pity that the Buddha mistook "Buddha without hands and eyes" for "Buddha without hands and eyes". As a result, Sanhuanggu really became a "Buddha with thousands of hands and eyes." She can distinguish between good and evil and see other people's thoughts clearly. With her help, King Miao Zhuang is very strategic in governing the country, and the country is prosperous and strong.
