He rode on a white horse, so he was called Xianggong of Baima. Wang Shiyun, the leader of Baiyun Village, deliberately surrendered to Yuanbing. Set up a Hongmen banquet, pretending to invite Mr. Zhou Baima to the banquet to discuss the military plane, and let him drink it with poison wine. After drinking, Mr. Zhou sent his horse to inspect the villages in Qianshan. He stopped Toutuo in Yuexi. He had a bad headache. Then he realized that Wang Shiyun had defected. I hurried to tazhuling and LENGSHUIKENG. It was really uncomfortable. After drinking a few mouthfuls of spring water, I felt my intestines growling. I beat my horse for a while and ran wildly to my stomach. I broke my stomach, washed my intestines with river water and washed away the poisonous wine. Return to Baiyun Village in anger, shoot Wang Shiyun dead with one arrow, and keep Tiantang village. Later, the Yuan Dynasty replaced the Song Dynasty, and Zhou Xianggong lived in seclusion in Xiahe, hengzhong village, Qianshan. He has done a lot of good things for the local people. Here, in memory of him, farmers built temples for him at the entrance of the village. Every August 15 Autumn Festival, villagers will hold a grand temple fair to commemorate him. There are also local master Gao's Association and master Li's Association, each of which has its own legend, commemorating their deeds of serving the people wholeheartedly in ancient times. There is also a large temple. There are three ancestral temple fairs in Tianzhu Mountain, Huatuo fair, Prince fair, goddess of mercy fair and so on. It usually takes three days and three nights.
