Outside Pingjiang City, there is a river named Nielong River.
Every summer, the river water surges, flooding countless fertile farmland, destroying houses, and causing untold suffering to the people.
Therefore, a grand ceremony is held every year in Pingjiang City to pay homage to the river god and ask for peace in the coming year.
A hundred years ago, during that summer, there were unusually torrential rains, and days on end of the scorching sun, which was as devastating as a disaster.
Even the Nielong River experienced a break in its flow, and a section of it actually dried up, revealing the riverbed.
Someone actually unearthed an ancient stele from the silt in the dried-up river area, aged and mottled, covered with moss, with an unknown history of many years.
There were four big characters written on it in the ancient dragon and snake script.
