According to the record of "Jiangpu Pi Cheng": "Stone Buddha Temple, in the northeast of the governance (county seat) fifteen miles, Zong Jian Yan was built, Ming Wanli Township Qi Zhou Dong donated and built Dongyue Palace, Huayan Building on the left side of the temple, and built the temple in front of the official road 20 miles, plus the Rong Stone Bridge, raised 33 acres of Shuang'an polder incense fire field, and the county affairs Lang Wenhuan has a tablet. ”

Regarding the origin of the Stone Buddha Temple, there is also a beautiful legend circulating near Pukou. In the Song Dynasty, the Yangtze River flooded many times, and Pukou was originally a riverside area, because there were no preventive measures at that time, so flooding was inevitable. One year, when the Yangtze River overflowed, many fertile fields in the Pukou area were submerged, leaving people homeless and displaced. The strange thing is that at this time, three stone Buddhas floated from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and when they drifted to the place where the Stone Buddha Temple was located, the flood water all receded. As a result, people rebuilt their homes, and men and women spent their time weaving. At that time, it was believed that the water was able to retreat because of the blessing of the stone Buddha. Therefore, the temple was specially built and the three stone Buddhas were enshrined, one was to express gratitude to the stone Buddha, and the other was to facilitate the prayer of the Bodhisattva gods for blessing.

However, legends are legends after all, and they can only express the good wishes of the common people to live and work in peace and contentment. Otherwise, why didn't the stone Buddha sink to the bottom?

Xianghou was fully armored, kneeling in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, holding three sticks of incense and praying with his eyes closed, the three stone Buddhas in the hall closed their eyes and smiled kindly, silently overlooking all beings in the line of incense.

The pro-soldier who shouted in front of the battle entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, knelt on the futon behind Xianghou, and whispered: "Marshal, the rout has arrived in front of the battle, and the army of long hair is almost here." ”

"Hmm" Xiang Hou responded, and bowed three times with incense. stood up and put the incense in the incense burner, "San'er, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid," the soldier named San'er also stood up, and replied Xiang Hou's words, "I'm afraid to die, and I'm very scared if the long hair catches us all over the place, and we will have to suffer a lot," he continued. The face was originally a bleak color. stared at Xiang Hou painfully, but suddenly laughed, laughing with such pride and happiness, "But the mother-in-law under the mark took her son to the north. I was pregnant with another one in my belly. We have a successor to Zhen Jia's family. The incense can continue, there are children and grandchildren to inherit the will, and there will be sons to worship on the Qingming Festival in the future. Even if I'm dead at this time. , I won't have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors, thinking of this, suddenly I'm not afraid. ”

Xianghou patted San'er on the shoulder and said with relief: "I'm sorry for you, and you all stayed here." ”

"What did the marshal say, the brothers' families have retreated to the north, we have no worries, we are afraid! It's just Madame, ah, Madame is coming. San'er saw a middle-aged woman in a flag dress who came out from behind the curtain, and hurriedly saluted.

The middle-aged lady was haggard, as if she was about to fall down when the wind blew it, but she walked in front of Xianghou and San'er very calmly, and asked for peace neatly.

Xianghou didn't move, didn't help her, and waited until the woman in the commanding dress straightened up, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Madam, why do you bother? The family members in the army are still settled, you stay here and die with the old man, you are always so stubborn......"

Xianghou's wife shook her head, "Master, the concubine has followed you in Jiangning City for so many years, I don't want to leave you half a step, the eldest brother has a wife, the second brother and the girl already have family affairs, the concubine has nothing to worry about, if the lord loses this battle, the concubine will never live alone, the concubine is the emperor's canonized decree, the lord has not escaped from the battle, and the concubine has not lost the face of the Eight Banners like this!" ”

Xianghou held the old wife who had been with him for more than 20 years in front of him, and a burst of tenderness came to his heart, and he suddenly felt a little guilty, he used to love those concubines too much, and ignored this docile but stubborn and determined woman, "Okay, please Mrs. watch in front of the palace to kill the enemy for her husband, our husband and wife are in one place regardless of life and death!" Xianghou instructed San'er, "Pass the order, who can kill ten long-haired bandits today, and when Jiangning is recovered, Lao Tzu will invite him to drink flower wine on the Qinhuai River for a night, and Lao Tzu will treat him!" ”

"Gotcha!" San'er brushed away the tears that couldn't help but flow, and restored the lazy appearance of the children of the Eight Banners, "Little one, I want the first red sister in Qinhuai River, Yu'er!" Is the big handsome willing to cut meat and spend money?! ”

"Where is so much nonsense!" Xianghou glared at San'er, "When the time comes, I will call Qin Huai Bayan for you!" Ben Shuai has money! I'm afraid you're going to have the wind right away! ”

"Wow!" San'er went out with a smile and gave the order, and a moment later, there were a series of cheers outside.

"The handsome prince Wandai!"

"Look down on us! Just waiting for the handsome to bleed! ”

"Ten is nothing! Look at me, at least fifty! Old five, don't rob me! ”

"Gotta get it, don't steal a few more from Lao Tzu when the time comes, even if you are a big brother, you are amazing!"

Xianghou and Mrs. Xianghou walked out of the Daxiong Hall hand in hand, Mrs. Xianghou tightened the scarf on her husband's chest, her eyes were full of worship and trust, as if she had just been married to Yan'er twenty years ago, Xianghou also nodded, and said lightly as if she had been on an errand in Jiangning City before, "Then I'll go out." "It seems that I just went hunting outside Jiangning City, and it was naturally relaxing.

Xiang Hou got down the mountain gate of the Stone Buddha Temple, seeing that his brothers were waiting for him at the door, a burst of pride surged in his chest, Xiang Hou turned over and got on the horse, ignoring the shouting and killing that was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the outside is the long-haired rebel who wants to turn against our Qing Dynasty!" Our family and children have no worries, what should we do! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The crowd shouted with their swords.

"Good! Let's let them see! What is the invincible Manchurian Eight Banners in the world! Xianghou pulled out the knife in his hand and rode forward, "Our Eight Banners disciples are still not masters, whether there are eggs under the crotch, and whether there is blood, just look at today!" ”

"Swear to follow the commander! Swear to follow the handsome! It turned out that the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jiangning City were inspired to have blood in their hearts, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to fight to the death with the Taiping Army at this time.

On February 11, Li Xiucheng defeated the Qing army of Sancha River, burned the joint camp, united the Jiufuzhou Naval Division and Xue Manzi all the way to the west, surrounded the Jiangning Eight Banners of Xianghou of Shifo Temple, Xianghou took the lead, shouted loudly, fought bloodily, Li Xiucheng besieged for three days, on February 15, the Qing army was finally defeated, the camp was destroyed, all the soldiers, including the firehead all fought to the end, no life was returned, Xianghou was hit by more than 30 arrows, still standing upright, and his eyes were still wide open when he died. Xianghou's wife hanged herself, and together with the martyrdom, Li Xiucheng admired the loyalty of Xianghou and his wife and buried them together. At this time, Dexing'a had already collected the remnants and slowly retreated to Anhui, and the Jiangbei camp ceased to exist. (To be continued......)
