When the soldiers of the house saw him escape, they were so angry that they set fire to his house and followed him closely.

The painter rode to the cold beach. The front is the Lijiang River, the rear is chasing soldiers, painting Lang worried again. Suddenly, Taibai Jinxing stood on the stone wall on the opposite bank and shouted: "Don't be so anxious, urge your horse to cross the bridge and run up the stone wall." Taibai Venus said while taking off the belt, the belt in the air into an arch bridge, straight to the top of the wall. Painting Lang shook his REINS and hurried his horse across the bridge to the top of the stone wall. Taibai Venus belt back, also did not have the arch bridge, the house of soldiers can not cross the river, only on the other side clamour, a little way also have no.

Painting Lang jumped off the horse and gave the group of Matu to Taibai Venus. The strange thing was that the horse he had just ridden obediently returned to the picture. Taibai Venus said to him: "You can't stay on earth now, or with me to the sky to paint!"

Painting Lang thanks too white Venus to save, and see the officers and soldiers in hot pursuit, to stay in the world must die. He LOOKED AT THE BURNED HOUSE, AND LIJIANG RIVER AROUND THE BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, HARD TO avoid some SAD, said TO too WHITE Venus: "FAIRY, MY painting now ONLY YOU in the hands OF THIS PIECE, TO the world to do a memorial!"

Taibai Venus nodded, spread out the group of MATu, threw up, the group of MATu in the air more and more bigger, like a blanket of falling down, fell on the stone wall and stuck to it. Then he took the painter to heaven.

4. Classic fairy tale: Han Xiangzi and Nuwa Flute

Legend, the eight immortals in Han Xiangzi used that flute, can call the wind and rain, fall demon demon, but it is a stone carved into the world. There is also a legend.

Han Xiangzi Chengxian, came to the eight holes, see the fairies each holding a treasure: iron guai Li's treasure gourd, Lu Dongbin's sword, Han Zhong from the old sunflower fan, He Xiangu's colorful basket...... But he is still empty-handed. His teacher father refused to grant him treasure, and now, since has become immortal, there is no magic weapon to conquer the enemy, how to match when immortal! Therefore, he did not eat food, tea drink, all day long mope, a scowling face like. When Tie Guai Li saw him like this, he laughed and said, "Han Lao Di, now that you have become a fairy, why are you still looking like a ghost? Is it not a disgrace to my fairies? Have what DIFFICULT MATTER, although spit out, elder brother I also share for you!" See iron guai Li so sincere, Han Xiangzi road out of his mind to find a magic weapon.

Iron crutch Li think: since Han Xiangzi into the immortal class, they gradually breeding proud mood. Today is my chance. Why don't I take the opportunity to teach him a lesson? So he said, "Oh, why worry about such a trifle! Before my brother became immortal, a bamboo flute traveled around the famous mountains and rivers, free and easy, romantic and chic. Now, why not return to the world, to find a god flute back, a memorial; Is it not a good thing to be a weapon against evil?"

"My brother is right! Why didn't I think of that? "Han Xiangzi had an Epiphany. At that moment, he bid farewell to the fairies, driving up the auspicious clouds, hurried down to earth.

On this day, Han Xiangzi passed through the southeast sky in the clouds. Suddenly, he heard the melodious sound of a flute at his feet. He wondered: This is a desolate village, how can there be such a beautiful music?

He immediately lowered the cloud head, in a pond, a ten - year - old shepherd boy sitting on the back of a cow, is playing leisurely flute. But see this flute colorful, very beautiful. When the shepherd boy finished playing, Han Xiangzi came up to him with a smile and said, "Excuse me, little prodigy, you can play so well. Who do you learn from? Of what is this flute so colorful made?"

The little shepherd boy flashed bright eyes and replied, "My grandfather plays much better than I do. I was taught by my grandfather. This flute is made of stone!"

Han Xiangzi was surprised. There were only bamboo flutes in the world. How could they be made of stone? He said: "Little prodigy, can you lend me this flute?"

"My grandfather told me that this is the treasure of our family and we can't borrow it at will." The little shepherd boy answered very seriously.

"Will you take me to see your grandfather?" The little shepherd boy nodded and led Han Xiangzi back home.

After Han Xiangzi had done the ceremony, he begged the old gentleman to play a song. White beard grandpa see Han Xiangzi sincere feelings, he should be his request to blow a song. The BEAUTIFUL melody, fresh notes, the rhythm of flowing water, simply drunk Han XiangZI, he sighed: "the world has its own true flute player!"

The old man blew, handed the stone flute to Han Xiangzi: "Sir, please give me some advice."

Han Xiangzi had this intention, at this time did not refuse, took the stone flute then blow. However, but how also can not blow.

White beard grandpa "ho ho" smiled and said: "Sir Is not high technology, but the heart is not sincere also!"

Heart is not sincere? Flute with the mouth, and the heart has what to do? Han Xiangzi was very unconvinced.

The old man with white beard seemed to see through Han Xiangzi's mind, stroking his beard and explained: "This flute is called 'Ruyi Nu Wa flute'. It is the old man's grandfather who uses colorful Nu Wa stone and spends ten years carving it. She has a spirit, can be a musical instrument, also can be a weapon, so called "wishful flute". Then the old man with white beard played his flute again. This is more god "a blow bird song; Two blowing flowers; Three blow a thousand colors. After blowing a song, he blew another sad music, blowing a headache; Second blow bowel; Three blow sky and ground dark. In an instant, Han Xiangzi was in pain and rolled on her, repeatedly Shouting: "Master help!"

Grandpa will tune a change, Han Xiangzi restored as before. He thought: If I don't have such a treasure, how would I be a fairy? So he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to his master.

White beard grandpa smiled: "You worship me as a teacher, need to do four words: to pride, stand true meaning, willing to endure hardship, hard work." Han Xiangzi was eager to learn, and quickly answered, "Please rest assured, I promise to do it."

"Good. From now on, you will go into the deep cave alone and practice the flute for three years without going out of the cave."

Han Xiangzi did not hesitate to come down. In order to show his eagerness to study, he still knelt down and answered, "All students follow the arrangement of their master."

The master laughed, picked up Han Xiang Son and asked his grandson to take him into the cave.

Since then, every morning Yinshi, white beard grandpa into the cave to teach Han Xiangzi flute. After that, Han Xiangzi practiced in the cave all day. He never went out of the cave, and his meals and meals were given to him by the little shepherd boy.

After three years of flowering and fading, Han Xiangzi finally became famous. He blew a burst of "Yangchun Song", immediately the clouds dispersed, the wind and sunshine; He blew some "hibernation song", all of a sudden grass withered leaves yellow, wind and cold snow floating.

When old grandfather White Beard saw him study hard, he practiced day and night for three years, and was very satisfied. On the day he finished his study, he said to Han Xiangzi, "Disciple Han is determined to seek treasure. He studies hard and has a good spirit. Master I am old, want to give the heirloom "Ruyi flute" to you, hope you never proud, for the benefit of all things in heaven and earth!" Shifu loves himself so much, Han
