Is the legend of Elephant Trunk Mountain a folk legend?
The legend of Elephant Trunk Mountain is a folk legend. Elephant trunk mountain is located near Lijiang River, at the exit of taohuajiang. The elephant trunk just reaches into the Lijiang River, just like a god who drinks the river. Elephant trunk mountain is famous all over the world, but Luoshan, not far from it, is little known. Speaking of which, there is another amazing fairy tale. One day, two monsters, one big and one small, came to Guilin. The little one rides the big one. The little one calls himself "pheasant" and the big one is called "elephant". Guilin people have never seen these two strange things, so they all ran out to watch the fun. The pheasant demon smiled and patted the elephant's head. The elephant stretched out its long nose, rolled up an old man and threw it into the Lijiang River in the distance. People suddenly felt a catastrophe, and they closed their doors to thank guests. The pheasant demon smiled and said, "From now on, I will be the king of Guilin. If anyone disobeys, I will let the elephant eat him. " Then he let the elephants uproot trees, destroy fields and cross rivers. The good Guilin city was messed up by two goblins. This scene made Laorenshan, an old man who was releasing his horse, panic and rushed to call Chang 'e. Chang 'e said angrily, "Where are you from? How dare you bully others!" Pheasant demon said, "I won't give you some color to see see today." You don't know my strength. " As he spoke, he conjured up 36 hands and carried 18 weapons to pounce on Chang 'e. Chang 'e fought the pheasant demon for several rounds, and the pheasant demon knew that he was defeated and ran away. When the pheasant found the elephant and saw it bathing in the Lijiang River, he was so angry that he cursed, "I almost died." You didn't help fight, but you fought here and killed me! " As he spoke, he pulled out his whip and beat the elephant's skin until it hurt. At this time, Chang 'e chased after her, and the pheasant demon turned into a golden light and fled. Chang 'e found Ganoderma lucidum for the elephant to eat, and the elephant's body recovered. The elephant was very grateful for Chang 'e's saving his life, thinking that he had done many bad things with the pheasant demon before, and decided to repent. So he stayed in Guilin and washed away his sins with facts. Plowing fields in spring, fighting drought in summer and transporting grain in autumn finally won people's trust and love. The next year, the pheasant demon came to Guilin, and when he saw that the elephant was actually helping the people, he swore, "What a loser! After eating and drinking with me, you will be a slave here! Come with me! " At this time, the elephant was not what it used to be, and refused to leave anyway. People rushed to hear the news, surrounded the pheasant demon and scolded: "devil, get out!" " Go away, we don't want to see you! "Pheasant demon flew into a rage, pulled out a whip and beat people one by one. The elephant got angry, threw out its long nose, rolled up the pheasant demon and threw it into a toilet in Guangdong. The pheasant demon never imagined that the elephant would hit its master and decided to give it a good lesson. After he returned to Guilin, it coincided with the drought in Guilin and the people were fighting drought. The elephant sticks its long nose into Shuiyue Lake and sucks up water to spray on crops. The pheasant demon took the opportunity to secretly draw his sword, rode on the cloud head and came to the elephant head. He suddenly stabbed the elephant in the back, and the sword went through the elephant's stomach and went underground. The elephant is firmly nailed in place and can move whenever it moves. When Chang 'e saw this scene, she took a photo in front of the demon mirror, only to see the golden light falling from the sky and the pheasant demon being crushed to death behind the elephant. Later, both elephants and pheasants became rocky mountains, namely Xiangshan and Luoshan. The pagoda on Xiangshan Mountain is the hilt left by the pheasant demon when it pierced the elephant. People regard Xiangshan as the symbol of Guilin, but no one remembers it in Luoshan. Chang 'e's magic mirror shattered the pheasant demon into seven pieces. People hung it on the mountainside of Mount Putuo, and it became the famous Seven-Star Rock.
