Dongming in most iz rib in želv

A serving woman of the king of Gaoli became pregnant, and the king wished to kill her. The woman said, “A vapor shaped like a hen’s egg descended from heaven, and that is how I came to be with child.” Later she bore a son, who was abandoned in a pigsty. The pigs warmed him with their breath. He was moved to a stable, where the horses likewise breathed upon him, and so he survived. The king, suspecting that he was a child of Heaven, ordered his mother to take him in and raise him. He was named Dongming and was regularly set to tending horses. Dongming was skilled in archery, and the king, fearing that he would seize his kingdom, wished to kill him. Dongming fled south to the Shiyan River and struck the water with his bow. Fish and turtles rose to the surface to form a bridge, allowing him to cross. Then the fish and turtles scattered, and the pursuing soldiers could not follow. Thereafter he established his capital and became king of Buyeo.
