飛(fei)竹(zhu)畬(yu)漢(han)群眾(zhong)相傳,唐大歷至天(tian)成年(nian)(nian)(nian)間(jian),閩縣(xian)(今福(fu)州(zhou))下渡陳(chen)(chen)昌之(zhi)女(nv)陳(chen)(chen)靖姑(gu),與羅源縣(xian)飛(fei)竹(zhu)村林(lin)(lin)忱之(zhi)女(nv)林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang)和羅源縣(xian)城孝巷陶姓之(zhi)婦李三娘(niang)結為師(shi)姐妹(mei),潛(qian)心道(dao)法(fa),在(zai)福(fu)州(zhou)、古田(tian)(tian)、羅源等地(di)斬魔除妖,護胎佑產,扶危濟(ji)難。后 唐天(tian)成三年(nian)(nian)(nian)(928年(nian)(nian)(nian)),福(fu)州(zhou)地(di)區(qu)災害頻繁(fan),妖魔作亂。同年(nian)(nian)(nian)夏季,林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang)受命在(zai)飛(fei)竹(zhu)塔里山老(lao)鴉洞除老(lao)鴉精;而身懷(huai)六甲的陳(chen)(chen)靖姑(gu)在(zai)福(fu)州(zhou)龍潭角祈(qi)雨,不幸被(bei)長坑鬼所害,林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang)痛哭(ku)不已,不久在(zai)西(xi)洋(yang)田(tian)(tian)中絕食身亡。飛(fei)竹(zhu)群眾(zhong)為紀念林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang),于天(tian)福(fu)年(nian)(nian)(nian)間(jian)(936~944年(nian)(nian)(nian))在(zai)該處建“林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang)祠(ci)”,后改稱“林(lin)(lin)九(jiu)娘(niang)祖(zu)殿”。陳(chen)(chen)靖姑(gu)敕封為“順(shun)(shun)懿夫人(ren)”后,殿內增(zeng)奉(feng)陳(chen)(chen)靖姑(gu)、李三娘(niang)神像,改稱“順(shun)(shun)懿夫人(ren)宮”。南宋間(jian),宮擴(kuo)建,稱“普濟(ji)崇福(fu)宮”。因地(di)處飛(fei)竹(zhu)村之(zhi)西(xi),又因宮建田(tian)(tian)洋(yang)之(zhi)中,故俗稱“西(xi)洋(yang)宮”。
