Related Legends

In another folk legend, the red of the red and white pagoda gives people a totally different feeling from the bloody above. What makes people feel is a kind of magical and peaceful beauty. it's said that one day when the sun was setting, a pair of fairy sisters in white passed by Jianyang. When their elder sister saw the beautiful scenery of lanjiaqiao and their younger sister saw the beautiful scenery outside the South Gate of Jianzhou mansion, they both stopped and said, "it's our fairy's dereliction of duty to have no tower in such a beautiful place." So the two sisters plan to build a tower in each of these two places, so that the two places will have more aura and people in these two places will live a more happy and healthy life. The two sisters were very happy to have this coincidental idea. They also discussed it and said that they would build it in the way of competition to see who was quick and good. My younger sister is a mischievous person with many ghost ideas. She said, "we make it by ourselves as soon as we don't ask others for help. We show our own abilities. The time is just one night tonight. We'll see who repairs it first before the rooster crows three times." The elder sister didn't think much, so she agreed and said, "that's good." So they fell from the sky and landed in the place they had chosen. They immediately set out to build the tower. My sister carefully selected stones from far and far places to build them layer by layer. She was too tired to rest and stop. My sister saw that there were many excellent stones on bieshan on the other side of the Tuojiang River, so she chose the good ones and picked out the Horst after horst. My sister's stone for building the tower came near and moved quickly. In the middle of the night, my sister went up to heaven. When she saw that her sister's tower was two stories less than hers, she laughed happily. As she went back to build the tower, she carved portraits in the tower, saying that her tower would be several times better than her sister's. When my sister made the tower beautiful, the moon was still hanging in the sky. After her sister had a rest, everything seemed quiet. He thought that her sister had not finished it, so she wanted to play a trick on her. Sister ascended to the sky and saw that she was still very busy. She pinched her nose and learned to crow. My sister didn't know that the rooster's voice was my sister's. as soon as I heard the rooster's crow for the first time, my tower was still one story short. I was a little worried, so I speeded up the construction. When the rooster's crow stopped for the second time, the tower needed a stone to seal the top. What shall I do? It's about to crow three times. Go and move the stone. I'm sure the tower won't be finished when the chicken crows three times. In a hurry, my sister pulled up a tree with roots and mud from the riverside field to stack on the top of the tower. Sister in the sky to see all this really, laughing her back and forth, but almost did not put the big teeth to smile down. When she saw her sister pulling out the tree with a smile, she forced herself to laugh and learned the third cock crow. She was surprised. Before the tree was aligned with the top of the tower, her hand was loose. The tree slipped from her hand. The hard branch cut her palm. The blood flowed from her palm, dripping on the top of the tower, and then from the top to the foot of the tower. At daybreak, people passing by found a red and white magnificent tower on the beach overnight.
