石溝寺的傳說
石(shi)(shi)(shi)溝(gou)寺(si)初建與(yu)重建時都有(you)一些神話傳說,明萬歷年間初建時,據說有(you)一牧(mu)羊人每天聞石(shi)(shi)(shi)壁(bi)中有(you)人大(da)呼(hu)“我要(yao)(yao)(yao)出(chu)(chu)來(lai)(lai)!我要(yao)(yao)(yao)出(chu)(chu)來(lai)(lai)!”牧(mu)羊人驚,回(hui)家述其狀,主人告訴說“可答(da)應(ying)”。次日(ri)至(zhi)溝(gou)口復聞是音,牧(mu)羊人答(da)應(ying)說:“你出(chu)(chu)來(lai)(lai)”。于是山崩地(di)裂,飛沙走石(shi)(shi)(shi),塵土蔽空。牧(mu)羊人大(da)恐。急(ji)呼(hu):“不(bu)(bu)要(yao)(yao)(yao)出(chu)(chu)來(lai)(lai)!不(bu)(bu)要(yao)(yao)(yao)出(chu)(chu)來(lai)(lai)!”霎時崩停聲靜,塵霧頓(dun)消,再(zai)看長溝(gou),一石(shi)(shi)(shi)手伸出(chu)(chu)壁(bi)外。自此,附近村民每遇水旱災害,吉兇禍福都到此處求卜。
