The legend of Wuyi Mountain.

According to legend, during the period of Emperor Yao in ancient times, Peng Zu led his people to move to northern Fujian. At that time, the place was flooded, and there was an ocean everywhere. Peng Zu's two sons, Peng Wu and Peng Yi, led their tribesmen to dig mountains and rivers and dredge floodwaters.

In order to commemorate the two brothers Wu and Yi, the descendants called the mountain range "Wuyi". 1]

Legend of Tianyou Peak.

At that time, Zhu Xi lectured and wrote books in Wuyi Jingshe under the Hidden Screen Peak. One night, in the small pavilion under the Tianyou Peak, a person drank to the moon, and a young woman appeared, so they accompanied each other by drinking. As time went by, the two lived a loving life.

In fact, Li Niang was incarnated by a fox who had cultivated for thousands of years, but she was afraid of losing Zhu Xi, so she never dared to mention her life experience. Later, there was a pair of turtle spirits who were jealous of Liniang's mana, so when Liniang went out, they said to Zhu Xi, your wife is a fox spirit, if you don't believe it, you will have an unexpected gain by looking at her nose at night. Although Zhu Xi didn't want to believe it, he wrote it down in his heart, and he pretended to sleep at night, and later saw a pair of crystal clear jade chopsticks hanging in front of Liniang's nose.

Big red robe landscape.

Zhu Xi screamed. Li Niang woke up from her dream, and the crystal bar fell to the ground and turned into powder. Li Niang hid her face and cried bitterly, saying that this was the soul of her thousand-year-old practice, and now she had no more, so she had to leave.

Watching the lively old turtle couple snickering outside, Zhu Xi heard the sound and hurriedly fled. Zhu Xi angrily picked up the brush on the table and clicked it. So there is a "water turtle" on the bank of Jiuqu River.

Li Niang ran away. Zhu Xi regretted it very much and kept chasing after him. But it's irreparable.

In that small temple, I saw Liniang lying peacefully among the flowers, never to come back.

The legend of the water turtle.

One year, the earth-shattering sound of shouting mountain sacrificial tea in the imperial tea garden alarmed the golden turtle in the Heavenly Court Jade Emperor Immortal Tea Garden who specially watered the tea trees. This old turtle had been cultivating in the Yunxu Cave of Qingyun Mountain for thousands of years, and he originally thought that after becoming a positive result, he could also seek an official and a half-position in heaven.

Unexpectedly, when he went to heaven, the ruthless Jade Emperor Lao'er sent it to water the tea trees in the Immortal Tea Garden. At first, he also felt leisurely, but after working for a long time, he was also bored. [3]

On this day, it suddenly heard the world "Tea sprouts, tea sprouts!" I couldn't help but sneak to Nantianmen to peek down: I saw that in the imperial tea garden on the bank of Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain, the tea god was being sacrificed.

The red candles are shining, the golden drums are ringing, and the tea farmers are running on the ground in unison, bowing and worshipping. Seeing that mortals were so respectful of tea, the golden turtle couldn't help but praise it.

When I thought that I had been doing tea in Heavenly Court for many years, but no one cared about it, I was angry. "That's it, that's it, my thousand-year-old golden turtle is not as good as a tea plant in the world, why don't I also go to the world to make a tea! The golden turtle's gaze slowly moved from the bank of Jiuqu River to the Niulankeng in the north of the mountain.

Here the strange peaks are abrupt, and the thousand rocks are showing.

Yi: A man who can play with snakes; Wu: Yes. Therefore, it is called Wuyi.
