There is a wild temple outside Yongzhou City, surrounded by towering trees, clouds and clouds, often with wind and rain and fog shrouding the temple, and what gods are enshrined in the temple, but no one knows. If the local people have something to pray for the gods, they need to use virgin boys and virgins to pay tribute, and if the gods get virgin boys and virgins, the wind and rain will be smooth, and if they do not get it, the wind and waves will be stirred up, and thousands of families will not be allowed to live in peace.
From time to time, Bao Zhengfengren's purpose was to visit Tianxia Prefecture and County, passing through Yongzhou. The local people knew that Bao Zheng was a clean and honest official, and he was jealous and hateful, so they gathered together and asked Bao Zheng to stay in Yongzhou. Local officials also played the role of the imperial court, recommending Bao Zheng as the Taishou of Yongzhou. Emperor Renzong received the recital and gladly agreed.
When Bao Zheng took office, the first official task he encountered was the matter of the Yongzhou Wild Temple. Bao Zheng listened to the official's report and said, "The predecessor was too conservative and incompetent, how could he allow a wild god who didn't know what it was to plague the people?" So he issued a notice that tomorrow he would go to the wild temple with the people to offer incense, and write a sacrifice to warn the gods of the wild temple.
The next morning, Bao Zheng led the people to the Wild Temple, and ordered the officials to recite the sacrifice text, which read:
The people take food as the heaven, and the country takes the people as the foundation, which is the right way in ancient and modern times. As a god, you are provided for by the people, and you should benefit the people, and do not endanger the village. But you devour virgin boys and girls year after year, you are murderous, you ask for money, you are insatiable. Corrupt officials, there are still state law sanctions, you are a wild god, not afraid of being punished by heaven? I urge you to turn from evil to righteousness and live in peace with the people, and if not, you will not be spared, and I hope you will think twice.
After the official finished reading, Bao Zheng ordered the sacrifice to be burned in front of the temple, and in an instant, the wind was fierce, the clouds covered the sun, and the rainstorm was like a note.
The people were stunned, but Bao Zheng sat in awe, and overheard a voice chanting loudly:
The species is born poisonous, and the deep mountains are habitually submerged.
Once the throat can be swallowed, the dragon will be dissolved for three years.
After beheading Liu Bangxing's imperial industry, when he buried Shu Ao had Yin Gong.
Do you know that 90,000 people are long? Circle around the first peak of Kunlun.
Bao Zheng listened, was shocked, and thought in his heart: "According to what it says in the poem, this is a thousand-year-old white snake into a spirit, how is this good?" Because he couldn't think of a way to subdue the White Snake Spirit for a while, Bao Zheng was sullen and unhappy and returned to the palace.
Soon, when it was time to pay homage to the Wild Temple, Bao Zheng ordered that the people of Yongzhou be forbidden to sacrifice the Wild Temple, and if there was any disobedience, they would be severely punished. The White Snake Spirit was furious when he got the news, and went to the people's homes to devour the population and livestock, and destroyed farmland and houses. The people were really unable to bear the harassment, so they jointly wrote a complaint and went to the palace to complain to the wild gods for harming the people.
Bao Zheng saw the situation and was very angry, so he immediately summoned Zhang Long and Zhao Hu and ordered them to set fire on all sides and burn the wild temple. The two men took the order, and took the servants to pile up dry firewood around the wild temple, and just when the fire was lit, suddenly the wind was fierce, and it rained heavily not long ago, pouring out the firewood, and then lighting the fire, but it could not be burned. Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were taken aback and hurried back to the palace to warn Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng listened to Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's returns and sighed: "I have been an official for several years, and I have been dedicated to serving the country and the people, and I dare not have the slightest intrusion into the people. After saying that, Bao Zheng left for the City God Temple.
Bao Zheng came to the City God Temple and said to the statue of the City God: "The people of Yongzhou have been poisoned by demons and evil spirits, and as a parent and official, I am determined to eliminate harm for the people, and as a party god, you also have the responsibility to protect the country and the people." Now I borrow your magic powers, please cast thunder and lightning divine might, cast demons and exorcise demons, and Bao Zheng and the people of Yongzhou are grateful. Bao Zheng's voice had just fallen, and suddenly the sky was fiercely windy and dark clouds were thick.
In the evening, I heard thunder and lightning in the wild temple outside Yongzhou City, and there was a faint sound of killing, and it was quiet until late at night. The next morning, the people went to the wild temple to watch, only to see that the wild temple had been destroyed by thunder and fire, and there was a white snake dozens of meters long, dying in the temple.
After that, there were no more evil deeds in Yongzhou, and the people danced happily and prostrated their heads to thank Bao Zheng's kindness.
@ Jin Tang Wind Bone: Folk tale "Bao Zheng Lei Hong Yongzhou Wild Temple". Tell about the wild temple outside Yongzhou City that there are demons and evil spirits, and they want to eat virgin boys and girls. At that time, Bao Zheng was passing through Yongzhou, and the local people and officials knew that he was aware of the situation and was jealous and hateful, so he recommended Bao Zheng as the Taishou of Yongzhou.
After Bao Zheng took office, he heard about the Yongzhou Wild Temple, found out that it was the white snake spirit who was responsible, and decided to eliminate harm for the people. Bao Zheng ordered that the people should not be allowed to pay homage to the wild temple, otherwise they would be severely punished. When the White Snake Spirit found out, he became furious and went to the people's homes to harm the people.
Bao Zheng was furious and ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to set fire to the Wild Temple, but the White Snake Technique extinguished the fire. Bao Zheng came to the City God Temple, asked the City God to help eliminate the demon, borrowed thunder and lightning, bombarded the Wild Temple, and eradicated the White Snake Spirit. Since then, Yongzhou has returned to tranquility, and the people are grateful to Bao Zheng.
It is said that there is still a story of Bao Zhenglei Hongye Temple in the Yongzhou area, which shows that Bao Zheng's deeds and kindness have deeply affected the people of Yongzhou, so it has been praised to this day.
