One day, Ali went hunting on the northern hillside. Suddenly, he saw a tiger with drooping eyes at the foot of the mountain, chasing two flower girls. Ali hurried down from the hillside, jumped on the tiger's back, raised his knife and fell, only to hear a "click". The tiger's head was cut off on the ground and rolled down the hillside. Two flower pickers were saved.
When he was just about to return to the north hillside to hunt, he saw an old man with a white beard descending from the sky with a leading cane in his hand. The old man smiled and took the arms of two girls and walked to the south hillside. Ali is a good young man. When he saw that the two girls had just left the tiger's mouth, they were molested by the bad old man, and his heart suddenly became angry.
He shouted, "Stop it!" Then he rushed to the bad old man, grabbed his crutch and hit him hard on the forehead. The old man let out a cry of pain, let go of the two girls and looked at a big pimple on his forehead. As soon as he shook his sleeve, he flew into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, on a sunny day, there was a loud thunder. The thunder is getting louder and louder from far and near. I saw the two flower-picking girls trembling with fear. They said anxiously, "This is bad, this is bad!"
Ali asked strangely, "What is this?"
Two girls said: We are fairies of the Heavenly Palace. We heard that the scenery of Taiwan Province Island is beautiful, so we came here secretly. I don't want to. I met a tiger. Thanks to you, I saved our lives. Who knows, I missed the time to go back because I was greedy for the beautiful scenery here.
The Jade Emperor sent a birthday boy down to arrest us and send him back to the Heavenly Palace for punishment. We are afraid of the jade emperor's criminal law and don't want to return to heaven. When the old birthday boy pulled us, you ran over and beat him away. He told the jade emperor about it, and the jade emperor was furious and ordered Thor to burn all the creatures in this area with thunder and fire.
Ali was surprised to hear what they said. He didn't expect that his good deeds would bring great disasters to the creatures in this area, so he said anxiously, "Is there no way to save the creatures in this area?"
The two fairies said, "Yes, yes, but only if someone is willing to sacrifice his life and run to the bald top in the south to divert the thunder fire so that it will not spread can the creatures in this area be saved. Brother, please hide in a safe place quickly, and we will go to the top of the bald mountain to light the thunder. "
Ali shook his head and said, "No, I hit the birthday girl. I caused this disaster. How can I let you go? " Let me go to thunder and fire! "Say that finish, he picked up a cane and hurried to the bald mountain in the south. Soon after, he climbed to the bare top of the mountain.
He looked up at the sky and shouted, "Thor! I, Ali, shot the old birthday girl and released two little fairies. I caused the disaster. I caused all this, and it has nothing to do with others. Your thunder fire, hit me Ali! "
At this time, Thor just came to the sky on the bald mountain. He raised the thunder drill and lightning hammer, only to hear a bang, a heavy thunder, which smashed Ali's body into pieces at once, and the thunder fire burned on the bare mountain. Thor added fuel to the fire and turned to the Heavenly Palace for a job. Because the mountain was bare and there were no trees and flowers, the thunder fire went out on its own before it reached halfway up the mountain.
Ali was killed by thunder and fire, but soon after his death, the bare mountain was covered with trees. People say that these trees are made of Ali's flesh and hair broken by thunder and fire.
Where's Shenmu tree? It is said that it was made by the crutches of the old birthday girl. The two fairies were deeply moved when they saw this scene. They counted them and said, "Brother Ali died for us and everyone. After his death, his flesh and hair became trees, which benefited people. The two of us will become flowers and plants, so that we can save Alibaba Argo and benefit the people. "
Since then, this barren mountain has trees, flowers, trees everywhere, lush and fragrant. People changed the name of this mountain to Alishan in memory of this good young man who sacrificed himself for others.
