Later, it expanded to choose wood for good birds to live in.
Legend has it that two phoenixes flew over a phoenix forest a long time ago, where the folk customs were simple and the environment was beautiful. Phoenix was very happy, so he decided to live there. They got along well with local villagers and local animals and plants, but the good times did not last long. Later, a boa constrictor appeared, and Phoenix had no choice but to leave. After Phoenix left, Wutong and the local villagers, animals and plants missed Phoenix very much. On the other hand, Phoenix also misses living in Phoenix Forest.
Wu Tong is the king of trees. It is said that it is a spiritual tree. It can know when to build it. "Lu Wenjian": "A hundred birds in the phoenix tree dare not perch, but only avoid the phoenix". Phoenix, as the king of birds, breeds the universe. It is not a phoenix tree. "Shu Wei Wang Xie Chuan" "Phoenix is not a phoenix tree", the phoenix chooses wood to live in, and later it is compared to the sage choosing the Lord and leaning; Phoenix's gentlemanly demeanor can also be found in Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang. Before meeting the "buttonwood tree", they would rather be ordinary fishermen and cultivators.
Good birds choose wood to live in.
folklore
A small river deep in the Woods, its source is a very high mountain. It is said that there is an old Taoist priest on that mountain who has been practicing for decades and is about to become an immortal, but few people can see him. The river flows down from the mountain and through the whole forest, nourishing everything in the forest. A fish lives in the pond of a small river. It has a long tail and smooth shiny scales. Because it always wants to swim to the source of the river and see what it looks like there, even the small fish hopes that the old Taoist can take it with him to become immortal, so he swims hard with the vision of beautiful scenery. Phoenix is a small fish's best friend. Year after year, the little fish has been looking for it. When it was a little discouraged, the old Taoist gave it something like a tree seed to eat, encouraged it to continue its efforts, and told Feng to take good care of the little fish, saying that you had an indissoluble bond with it. Then the old Taoist disappeared. One year there was a drought, the river slowly dried up, and the small fish left the water and were dying. All the animals in the forest want to help the little fish, but they don't know where to find water. Feng decided to go to the Taoist priest. But the Taoist priest has long since died. When Feng found the place where the old Taoist practiced and came back with a bag of water that the old Taoist had drunk, the small fish was dead and the animals buried it in a place facing the sun. Feng was so sad that he sprinkled water on Xiaoyu's grave and remembered the words left by the Taoist priest when he left: "Feng, you should take good care of Xiaoyu. You have an indissoluble bond with him." Feng was so sad that he stood on Gao Gang and sang strangely to the sun. When the sun goes down, Feng sits on the edge of a small mound and tells the story of a hundred birds to the little fish. When the sun rises, Feng continues to stand on the high hill and make strange chirps at the sun. So after screaming for a few days, the immortal Taoist suddenly appeared in front of Feng, nodded at Feng and came to the small mound where the fish were buried. With a flick of his sleeve, the Taoist priest arched the mound and a small sapling emerged. It turned out that the Taoist priest did not give the little fish fairy medicine earlier, but ate a buttonwood and kept it in the stomach of the little fish. Later, after the fish died, the buttonwood was buried in the soil, and half a bag of water found by Feng was absorbed by the buttonwood, so as long as the Taoist priest gave a little aura, the buttonwood would soon grow out. Because the little fish is strong, its soul has never been scattered. When the buttonwood grows up, the small fish will be integrated with the buttonwood. When the Taoist priest left, he told Feng that as long as Feng insisted on standing on a high hill and singing to the sun every day, the phoenix tree would grow up quickly, so Feng told the little fish (phoenix tree) the story of hundreds of birds in the evening and began to sing when the sun came out in the morning. In this way, day after day, year after year, the phoenix tree grew up against the sun and soon flourished. Phoenix is very happy to see the plane tree grow into a big tree. She jumped on a tall branch to meet the sun and sang beautiful courtship songs happily. Because Phoenix was instructed by the immortal, it became the king of birds and lived only in the buttonwood tree. Today, Wu Tong Mountain is covered with Wu Tong plants. "Wu Tong Smoke Cloud" is beautiful and mysterious. It surrounds Wutongshan all year round. Legend is the embodiment of Phoenix, waiting for Wu Tong to come out of the mountain.
