Erlang was ordered to find out the cause and to prevent it. From spring to winter he made long and difficult journeys, but failed to get any result. One day when going deep into a mountain, he encountered a tiger. Instantly, he killed it and cut its head off. At this moment came seven hunters, who were surprised at the sight of Erlang's bravery. Knowing Erlang's task, they asked to go with him; Erlang agreed. As they approached a that ched cottage by a river near the county town of Guanxian, they heard somebody crying inside. They entered and found an old woman wailing for her youngest grandson who was to be taken away as a sacrificial offering for the river god—an evil dragon. Astounded, Erlang reported this to his father. Li Bing taught him how to capture the monster. On the sacrificial occasion, Erlang, holding his three-pointed and double-edged sword in hand, got into the River God Temple with his seven friends, and hid themselves behind the god statue. After a while, the dragon came with a gust of strong wind and heavy rain into the temple to snatch the oblation. Erlang and his mates jumped out immediately to fight it. Defeated, the dragon scurried out of the temple. Now, on the surrounding hills sounded the beating of gongs and drums and loud voices. This scared the dragon who fled to the river. To pursue it, Erlang and his mates dived into the river, too. At last, the dragon was captured. Being weary, Erlang and his mates took a rest under the Grandma Wa ng Crag and detained the dragon in the river. The river had a hole through which one could reach the Chongqingzhou River. Making use of this, the dragon escaped.
