Chapter 35 Section 2 "Sticky Sound"

"Sticky" is the name of a place.Here, beautiful and rich, the king's daughter, Sirihan, was originally the wife of the god Yingba, and was reincarnated as a princess in the world.The reputation of the princess' beauty spread all over the world, and the princes of many countries brought gold, silver and gifts to propose marriage.The king was very worried and didn't know which one was suitable for him.The princes all left disappointed.From then on, the noisy palace became very deserted, and people no longer came to get close to Sirihan.The princess can only stay alone in the bamboo building forever.Knowing the extraordinary beauty of the princess, Suriyadi, the moon god in the sky, turned into a handsome young man, flew from the moon palace to the princess's bamboo building, played the princess's jingle, and awakened the princess in her dream.From then on, as soon as the sun went down every day, Suriyadi went down to earth to have a tryst with Sirihan, and flew back to the sky just after dawn.A year has passed, and neither the maids nor the guards found out.But Sirihan changed, his face was pale, and he was pregnant.

The king felt ashamed about his daughter, and decided to kill her in order to preserve his reputation.He ordered the guards to chop the princess into three pieces and feed her heart to the chickens.Seeing that the princess was still too young, the veteran could not bear to let her die, so he begged the king, "Don't harm the peace of the country because of this trivial matter, it's better to put her on a bamboo raft and let the river send her out of the country." Both his wife and daughter were placed on bamboo rafts and allowed to drift.This move provoked anger and resentment.As soon as the queen and princess drifted away, it became pitch black, dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, wind and rain blew, and blazing fire surrounded the court.The king drilled like crazy, and his whole body was soaked in dung water, covered with maggots.This calamity lasted seven days, and by the time the king was found, he was dying.People blamed the king for what he deserved.

The bamboo raft came to a stop on a beautiful Pingba, and the mother and daughter were taken in by a monk Palaxi.Sirihan gave birth to a boy named Su Lingda.Su Lingda learned various skills from Palaxi.Palasi also found a Mamo tree with various branches, and the fruits of different branches. If eaten by people, some will poison people, some will cause disasters, and some will turn people into monkeys. Or a tiger, but the fruit of one branch will make people young if eaten, and the fruit of the other branch will make people wise and powerful.Palasi used the good fruit on the tree to make Su Lingda handsome, powerful and wise, and make the queen and princess more beautiful.

Su Lingda found a large lake, where he would not get sick after taking a bath.He hoped that his sick mother would be healthy forever after taking a bath in the lake.Unexpectedly, the monster snatched the princess from the air.Because of the god's rescue, Sirihan burst into flames all over her body, which was so hot that the devil dared not approach her, so she fell from the air to the ground and escaped from the danger.She wandered in the forest for seven days and was rescued by a hunter.People treat her like a distinguished guest.The news reached the local king, who forced her to be his wife, and accepted her with the most solemn ceremonies.Unexpectedly, every time the king approached the bride, he felt drowsy, his heart trembled, and his body trembled, and if he approached again, his body would burn.In order to take care of his face, the king forbade the maids to spread the word.

Sirihan was depressed because he missed his son.When rushing to the market, people in her hometown saw her and went back to report to the king.Her father sent someone to bring her back to the country. In the process of searching for his mother, Su Lingda met two friends, one named Diu'e, who was good at shooting;Messengers sent by the king found them in the forest, and brought them to the stick.Su Lingda also got acquainted with the Dragon King, who gave him a gem to help him find his mother as soon as possible.It was actually a peculiar telescope, from which he could see everything he wanted to see.After he inherited the throne, his grandfather held a grand beauty pageant for him, but none of the girls satisfied Su Lingda.He used gemstones to photograph a distant princess named Jingda Nanxi, who lives in Mengxibing.He found a talking male parrot, wrote a love letter and asked it to take it to Mengxibing.

Jingda Nanxi, the princess of Mengxibing, has a female parrot.That day, it went to the garden to pick flowers for the princess, and the male parrot leaned forward to explain his purpose.Knowing that Su Lingda fell in love with her from the female parrot's report, the princess hurriedly summoned her and wrote a reply.This letter is full of difficult problems, testing Su Lingda's wisdom.Su Lingda's answer satisfied her very much.Since then, the two have passed on the parrot love letter.This kind of love letter has a relatively fixed format in the Dai folks, with profound and obscure content and implicit words, and is generally used to test the other party's knowledge and intelligence.

After the relationship between Su Lingda and Jingda Nanxi matured, Nanfang sent envoys to bring generous gifts to propose marriage.Unexpectedly, this marriage proposal was not smooth, and was opposed by the princess' brother Sanha.Sangha said to the envoy: "We are tall coconut trees, how can you climb them." The team of marriage proposals had to retreat to the water's edge for a while, and planned to snatch Jingda Nanxi away.They made 500 monkeys out of wood, and when they chanted a spell, they all became living monkeys; they also built a flying house out of wood, and when night fell, 500 monkeys sat in the flying house and came to the princess's bamboo building On the day, the princess was moved to the house with her bed and her body and flew away, leaving 500 monkeys in the bamboo building.

Seeing that his sister was kidnapped, Sanha didn't listen to others' advice, and mobilized a large number of people to set off towards Jianxiang in several routes.After seven months, the trouble caused the loss of soldiers and generals, and failed to conquer.Sanha moved more soldiers and horses, divided into left, middle, and right, and fought all the way to the viscous capital, because the city was surrounded by big rivers, and there were all kinds of terrible and ferocious animals in the water, so it was impossible to attack them. cross the river.Sang-ha wants to trap Clingy to death in the city.In fact, rice, grass and trees have been planted in the city.After 10 years of stalemate, sticky people and animals are alive and well.

Sanha launched a new attack and was defeated by Su Lingda.Sangha's father advised him not to continue the fight, but he not only refused to listen, but also exiled his father to a bamboo raft in the river.After several big battles, all the generals under Sanha died, and he was the only one left. He was captured by Su Lingda, threw him on the ground, and the ground burst suddenly, and a big hole appeared to bury him.Su Lingda brought gifts to appease the people of Mengxi Bing, and at the same time managed the two places of Mengxi Bing and Jianxiang. The creator of this epic is the monk Huba Meng (the name of a higher position in the monk).Based on the ancient myths and legends of the Dai people, the Huba Meng also accepted the influence of Buddhist scriptures and wrote this long poem.Then it returned to the folk and was sung from generation to generation, and different texts and manuscripts appeared.This is the joint creation of medieval Dai intellectuals and folk artists.
