It is said that ten thousand years ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to play in the world because of the cramped heavenly palace.But because of his advanced age, he did not want to suffer from Teng Yun again.So Xuan Taibaijinxing came in.

When Taibai Jinxing saw the Jade Emperor, he asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty Xuan?"

The Jade Emperor said: "I want to build a corridor leading to the human world. First, I can take a car to visit the lower realms and understand the sufferings of the people. Second, I can also announce the loyal ministers and filial sons of the world, the virtuous women, and let them go up. Go to the Tiangong to play and play. I can also praise him face to face."

The Taishang Laojun at the side heard this, and thought that he could take a car to see old friends in the lower realms that he hadn't seen for many years, and he could also use the car to bring back gifts from old friends, so he said: "This is very good, very good."

Taibai Jinxing said: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent king who cares so much about the sufferings of the world. He has the style of Yao and Shun. I will handle this matter immediately."

So Taibai Jinxing led all the heavenly craftsmen to build a corridor from the heaven to the world.And the door of this corridor is in the land of Xixiang today.After the corridor was completed, the Jade Emperor was very happy, so he went to the world in a chariot with a dragon, a horse and a phoenix.When he got out of Tianmen Gate, the Jade Emperor was very unhappy because there was a big stone barren mountain outside the gate.So he ordered Taibai Jinxing to build a garden here.

Therefore, Taibai Jinxing played to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, this is a place in the world. It is very inconvenient for Tiangong to construct here. It is also difficult to have the charm of the world. We must invite skilled craftsmen in the world to do it." The Jade Emperor asked him "Who can do this?" Taibai Jinxing replied again: "Your Majesty, Lu Ban can take this role." The Jade Emperor was surprised: "Lu Ban is a carpenter, how can he do this?" Taibai Jinxing said again "Your Majesty does not know that although Lu Ban is a carpenter, he is also a mason. At first, Lu Ban built a stone bridge in Zhaozhou, Hebei. Zhang Guolao, in order to embarrass him, used a wheelbarrow to carry Mount Tai from above. It collapsed. Only a rut was left on the bridge." The Jade Emperor said after hearing this, "Take him to the heaven to meet me."

After the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he went back to the sky.Taibai Jinxing hurried to find Lu Ban and took him to the heaven through the corridor.When the Jade Emperor met Lu Ban, he told him what he meant.After hearing this, Lu Ban said: "It is not difficult to do this. You can use rocks as branches and clouds as flowers and leaves. After it is completed, it will be irrigated with heavenly water. This garden will be loved by Your Majesty." The Jade Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "You can Do it quickly, and there will be a big reward when it is done."

Lu Ban said to the Jade Emperor: "This project is huge, and a large number of workers are required to split stones." The Jade Emperor said: "You can go to the world to recruit. The wages, food and lodging will be reimbursed by the Heavenly Court." Lu Ban replied: "Your Majesty, this time What extraordinary people can do, only those who can split rocks among ghosts can do it."

So the Jade Emperor ordered Zhong Kui that all lonely ghosts who could split rocks should not be captured.Treat each other with courtesy and take them to work for Lu Ban.

When Lu Ban returned home, he bid farewell to all his fathers and villagers, his parents, his wife and children, and then went to the place where Tiantianmen was located.His wife stayed at home to take care of his elderly parents-in-law and young children.

Luban went outside the gate of heaven and fought side by side with the ghosts, day and night, never returning home once in ten years.Ten years later, the garden was finally restored.Sure enough, it is autumn Dan Chunbi, winter snow and summer flowers, so beautiful.The Jade Emperor was very happy to see it.So Lu Ban pleaded with the Jade Emperor for those wild ghosts who were working.The Jade Emperor thought of the suffering of those wild ghosts splitting stones, so he allowed them to reincarnate in the next world.All the wild ghosts happily reincarnated as human beings.The Jade Emperor wanted to reward Lu Ban heavily, but Lu Ban declined.Lu Ban still returned to the people and continued to work for the people.

Taibai Jinxing chose a mountain for the Jade Emperor in today's Huizhou, and built a palace on a peak in the mountain, imitating the appearance of the Heavenly Palace.This peak was later called Tiandu Peak.And this mountain became the place where the Jade Emperor took a summer vacation in the lower realm to recuperate, and mortals were not allowed to go up.This mountain was called Huangshan in those days.

Later, one year, the Queen Mother held a flat peach meeting, and Buddha, Guanyin and other gods from all walks of life came.When the immortals were feasting, the fairies danced in front of the hall.It was really fairy music, lively and extraordinary.The Buddha said to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have a secluded place in the world. It is very beautiful. Can you take me to see it?"

The Jade Emperor said: "If the Tathagata wants to go, how can he refuse." He took the Tathagata and the gods Qi, guarded by the heavenly soldiers and generals, and surrounded by the fairies Gong'e, to Huangshan.

The Jade Emperor Buddha and his party first enjoyed the delicacy of the world in the palace of Tiandu Peak.There are steamed sea bass, osmanthus prawns, Dongpo pork, beggar chicken, scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and cold cucumber.The Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, etc., because they do not eat meat, also have vegetarian fruits for entertainment.There are steamed asparagus, first-class tofu, mushrooms and rapeseed, fried three shreds, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and Guangdong lychees.The last dish is Buddha jumping over the wall.After the Buddha heard about it, he hurriedly took all the bodhisattvas and arhats, left the palace of Tiandu Peak, and went to visit other places.

The bodhisattvas and arhats looked around and came to a mountain peak. They were a little tired from walking and planned to take a rest.The heavenly soldiers and generals who followed hurriedly prepared the lotus throne, spread a tablecloth on the stone table, placed watermelon, cantaloupe, and white melon, and filled the purple luminous cups with freshly squeezed fresh juice for the Bodhisattvas.There is orange juice, peach juice, carrot juice.Tathagata waited for a rest, then went back to the palace, chatted with the Jade Emperor and the gods, and the heavenly soldiers and generals also followed.Later, the mountain where Tathagata rested with all the Bodhisattvas was called Lotus Peak.

Later, Sun Xingzhe made troubles in the Heavenly Palace several times, disturbed the Peach Festival, kicked down the gossip stove, and disturbed the peace of the Heavenly Court.Later, Gong Gong and Zhu Rong fell out, and in a rage, they knocked down Tianzhu.For a while, the landslides and the ground cracked, and the turbid waves emptied.The sky tilted for it, and fell to a corner.The heavenly court was also shaken, and countless houses were damaged.As for the corridor leading to the human world, some places were blocked by the falling boulders, and some places were blocked by raging floods.The Jade Emperor was in a heavy heart.Coupled with the damage to the palace, the heavenly court's economy has shrunk.The Jade Emperor had no money to rebuild the tunnel, and he didn't have the heart to play in the lower world.So the way from heaven to earth was cut off.And the garden outside Tianmen, because there is no water from the sky, can no longer grow dense branches and leaves.However, some green grass and shrubs can still grow in Shifengli. With the color of the rocks and the jungle-like pinnacles, there is another scene.There is still a huge dome left over from the Tianmen in the past.

Strong people gathered here again, roaring through the mountains and forests, leaving behind many cottages.Now the strong man has disappeared, but the cottage is still there.Although this place is no longer irrigated with heavenly water, under the moistening of rain, snow and rain in the world, there are also clear streams and green grass, gurgling water, lush trees and blooming flowers.became a tourist attraction.Later, Ma Liang, known as the magic brush, came here. He wanted to paint several times, but he always felt that his charm was rare, so he cast his brush and left.Someone heard this and sighed, and wrote a poem as proof:

The green is in the rock and the stone is the peak,

The gate of heaven is a hole to the sky.

Bizhai Qingfeng is cold in spring,

Qingxi Zimo is full of autumn colors.

Zhong Kui does not grasp the charm of holding an axe.

Why should Lu Ban be a mason?

It's hard to describe without color,

It is difficult for Ma Liang to paint.

Besides, Huangshan in Huizhou, because the Jade Emperor no longer came, the palace was not repaired, and there were no traces of it after a long time.But the mountain where the palace was located was still called Tiandu Peak.And the peak where Tathagata rests is also called Lotus Peak.Without the guard of heavenly soldiers and generals, ordinary people can also go up the mountain to play.The name of the mountain was later changed to Huangshan, which means that the color of the mountain is yellow.Although there are no gods on this mountain, it is still beautiful pine and strange rocks, and the clouds are steaming and misty, just like heaven and earth.Some people came here to play, and felt that this mountain was the residence of the gods back then. Seeing such a scene again, they wrote a poem:

The two peaks are majestic and the three peaks,

Fog hides in the mountains, stones and clouds appear,

The green pines are rarely exposed to the sky,

Visitors are lucky enough to go to the cold palace.

It is said that ten thousand years ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to play in the world because of the cramped heavenly palace.But because of his advanced age, he did not want to suffer from Teng Yun again.So Xuan Taibaijinxing came in.

When Taibai Jinxing saw the Jade Emperor, he asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty Xuan?"

Second, I can also announce the loyal ministers and filial sons of the world, the virtuous women, and let them go up. Go to the Tiangong to play and play. I can also praise him face to face."

The Taishang Laojun at the side heard this, and thought that he could take a car to see old friends in the lower realms that he hadn't seen for many years, and he could also use the car to bring back gifts from old friends, so he said: "This is very good, very good."
