Chapter 762 - 317: The Tourism Contest_2
Jinyun Inn is located on one side of a large river, which is named Haoxi, despite its large size.
The water flows rapidly and is crystal clear; staying at the inn, one can hear the sound of the gurgling water. Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the fog enveloping across the river and smoke spreading over Haoxi, a spectacle both majestic and elegant.
On the other side of the inn, there is an extremely beautiful small mountain.
This side of the mountain also has quite a few scenic spots, including a pair of rocks facing each other with strange shapes, resembling the figures of one standing and one kneeling.
As people passed by this place, the staff introduced that there was a story behind these rock figures.
It is said that in ancient times, a woman frugally raised her son and helped him get married and have children. However, once the son left on a journey, his wife started to disrespect her mother-in-law, oppressing and scolding her all day long.
Thus, the mother-in-law knelt on the mountain hoping for her son’s return, while the daughter-in-law stood on another mountain top, cursing and obstructing the mother-in-law; this scenario continued day after day...
Suddenly one day, a heavy downpour unexpectedly struck from the sky, and the tremendous rain gathered to form the river known today as Haoxi.
During the downpour, powerful thunder and lightning also occurred. One lightning bolt struck directly at the daughter-in-law, killing her, and her head fell into the river!
The mother-in-law, seeing her daughter-in-law struck dead, instantly understood what happened. The gods were angry, the daughter-in-law was disrespectful, so they sent down punishment. Hence, the mother-in-law knelt down, sighing in recognition of the divine will.
