<真武收妖>

"本劇敘述從前有一個屠夫姓劉名真武，以殺豬為業，總是自豪於自身刀法的流利，對於人世不太有同情心。
某回，屠夫因事外出，途中耽擱了時間，以致天色已暗仍困於山中。俗云:福無雙至，禍不單行。屠夫先是遇上了盜匪，被洗劫一空；又碰上飢餓的猛虎，眼看危在旦夕。就在千鈞一髮之際，觀音菩薩現身解難，使屠夫死裡逃生。
從鬼門關撿回一命的屠夫，受觀音點化後忽有所感，乃悟眾生生命之可貴，遂覺平生所為罪孽深重。後發願前往崑崙聖山，歷經三萬六千里艱苦路程，終抵達崑崙之巔。屠夫行到天河畔，自剖胸腹，取出體中的肝、腸加以清洗，並棄於天河之中。此舉感動了上蒼，於是升天為神，玉皇敕封為真武天神，鎮守北天門。
被棄於天河中之肝與腸，因受聖山天地精華之潤澤，遂化為龜、蛇二精，並降臨凡間危害人民。天庭獲知，乃先後遣五路元帥、趙光明等天兵神將前往收服，但均不敵二精法力。經玉皇查明龜蛇之淵源後，遂派其主真武天神下凡伏妖。
真武以寶器七星神劍震懾龜蛇，並曉以大義，終使二精臣服聽命。真武因功晉封玄天上帝，奏請玉皇令二妖將功贖罪，敕封龜蛇為水火二元帥，並隨待於玄天上帝身旁，共同保境安民，鎮守北天門."

Xuan Jiang Dian 玄江殿 (Singapore)

2005-11-10T11:56:00.000+08:00

Said to have started its sintua in Amoy St, this sintua moved with the family to Bukit Merah View. Now, it is placed in a quiet neighbourhood in Jalan Rama Rama, off Balestier Road. The sintua has just celebrated its 35th anniversary on the 3rd of the 9th Lunar Month, the birthday of Xuan Tian Shang Di 玄天上帝, popularly known to the Hokkien as Siong Te Kong.
