Beyond the Noisy World: The Long Lost Eight Sects: 244, the well water does not violate the river water

lnmao.org, the fastest update outside: the latest chapters of the eight disappeared!

The location of Xiangshui Peak is at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, a place called Wangchuan in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province. Qinling was the Zhongnan Mountain in ancient times. It was a famous cave and blessed place. Nowadays, there are still many people in the Zhongnan Mountain. The location of Wangchuan is already on the edge of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, only an hour's drive from Xi'an.

In ancient times, the climate in this area was warm and abundant, with springs in the mountains crisscrossing and converging into a river that flowed into the plain and flowed into the Bahe River. If you look at it from a high altitude, these mountain streams converge to look like wheels, and this place is named Wangchuan.

In this valley, there are large karst caves left by the erosion of water, the most famous of which is the Xishui Cave, also known as the Xishui Cave. In the sediments in these caves, modern scientific researchers have found a large number of ancient stone tools, animal fossils, charcoal ashes, and animal bones roasted by fire, showing the living places of ancient humans in this area. The stone tools left in the cave can be traced back a million years ago.

In ancient myths and legends, Lantian is where Huaxu Kingdom is located, and Huaxu is the mother of Fuxi.

The place where Cui Shanhai and his wife asked everyone to meet is in front of Xishui Cave, because this place is easy to find. The meeting time is at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning. The couple drove over by themselves. There is parking in Xishui Cave Scenic Area. field.

Ding Qi, Zhu Shanxian, Xian Hao, Shi Buquan, and Shang Ni left after get off work on Friday and took a rest on the train. They arrived in Xi'an early in the morning and called a commercial car to Wangchuan. . They came earlier, so they simply went to the Tin Shui Cave and strolled around.

Just after seven o'clock, Xishui Cave did not open the door, but they couldn't stop a few of them, so they sneaked in and took a flashlight to visit. It is said that this place is one of the eight immortals, Han Xiangzi's practice place, so there are many sculptures of Taoist gods in the cave, many of which are contemporary.

Out of the Xishui Cave, they went to the higher Lingyun Cave. This cave is very deep, with two floors and more than ten halls. The stalactites in the cave have different shapes. They also saw the introduction sign of a landscape that said "Fairy Bathing", and they couldn't help laughing. Shi Buquan didn't know what it meant, and Shang Ni gave him another explanation.

The last time everyone went to visit Qin Gaotai together, only Shi Buquan was not there. They were trapped in the outside world for more than half a year. After opening the door, the place they arrived after coming out was not the outside Qin Gaotai, but a straight distance of eight. Tianmendong Scenic Area, ten kilometers away. The place where they came out at that time was called the bath pot cave. According to the introduction of the scenic area, it was also the place where the fairies bathed. There were two protruding rocks at the entrance of the cave that were attached to peeking little monsters.

It seems that the imagination of the people is almost the same, which reflects what kind of mentality in the subconscious, is it that they are all interested in the fairy bathing, or want to be Dong Yong for once?

Not far from the "fairy bathing" landscape, they met several acquaintances, namely Ye Zongqing, Yan Binbin, Shi Heyu from Wuxingu. They also came early, and they also chose to visit nearby attractions first. Everyone greeted with a smile. Seeing that the time was about to come, they quietly avoided the working staff and left Lingyun Cave and arrived at the agreed place. It happened to be Cui Shanhai, Shui Ruo and Li Zhiyao also arrived.

It was 8:50 in the morning, and Cui Shanhai looked at his watch and said, "Wait a moment, Mr. Tan and Mr. Zhuang have not come yet." At this time, he heard Tan Hanchuan saying not far away: "I have arrived. , Just walked on the mountain for a while, the scenery is good."

Cui Shanhai smiled and said: "In fact, there are many places in this area that can be visited, and there is not enough time for several days."

Tan Hanchuan replied: "Other places are easy to say, today is to visit Xiangshui Peak."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhuang Mengzhou finally arrived. A group of thirteen people left the scenic spot and walked towards the mountains. The terrain is getting higher and higher. The cliffs are rugged and steep. There are no villages around, and they have entered the Qinling Mountains. Everyone looked very leisurely with their bags, and did not hurry. After walking for about forty minutes, they came to a small hole under the rock wall. They had to cat their waists to get in. Cui Shanhai quickly advanced into the hole.

Ding Qi wondered: "Is the Xiangshui Peak in this cave?"

Li Zhiyao shook his head and said: "This is just a passage, we have to walk a bit."

The geomorphological features of Wangchuan are similar to those of Tianmen Cave in Ningxiang County, with complex distribution of karst caves. However, the scale of the Wangchuan caves is much larger, and its location is at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, far from comparable to the small hill where Tianmen Cave is located. The cave in front of you is very hidden, the space is very small and there is no tourist development value, so no one comes at all.

After the cat's waist gets in, you can stand upright inside. It is a rugged corridor, but the width is only for two people to walk shoulder-to-shoulder. A small dome appears at intervals above the corridor, and there are often branch holes in this position. According to Cui Shanhai, they are taking a shortcut. If it takes a long time to climb the mountain outside, and the terrain is dangerous, there is almost no way to go.

Walking in such a long, narrow and winding cave with many fork roads is also very dangerous. If you get lost, you may not be able to get out. You must have a guide.

I used a flashlight to drill up and down in the cave for about 20 minutes. Several places were very narrow, and I had to walk around my waist. There were still a few places where I could use my hands and feet to climb up and down. As they walked, the light seemed to cool down, and they turned a corner almost without warning, and saw their eyes suddenly enlightened. They had walked into the deep valley, and there were no people in sight.

Passing through a thicket of rocks again, Cui Shanhai stopped and said, "This is it!"

Actually, he didn't need to say, Ding Qi swept through with his spiritual sense, and he had already discovered the door, but Ding Qi did not try to expose his own abilities. When everyone stood still in front of the door, Cui Shanhai took out a Ruyi. This Ruyi was only half a foot long, and it seemed to have the texture of boxwood. The bamboo handle and the head of Ganoderma lucidum were gently swayed toward the front. An invisible portal appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. At the other end was another piece of heaven, earth and mountains.

Presumably, Naruyi is the treasure of Xiangshuifeng, and Cui Shanhai walked into the portal first with Ruyi in his hand. Ye Zongqing saw that Cui Shanhai had just revealed the treasure of the realm of control and opened the door, his face was astonished, as if he wanted to say something but did not speak, everyone filed in.

Everyone just walked through the canine teeth, but after entering the gate, the terrain was very flat. There was a forest path underneath, and the distant view was a beautiful mountain peak. Tan Hanchuan praised: "This is another Wangchuan, the scenery is better than the outside Wangchuan!"

The scenery in front of me is indeed very similar to the Wangchuan outside, and it is the essence of Wangchuan. Tan Hanchuan's eyesight is very good. He can see the veins extending from both sides of the highest mountain directly in front, forming an encircled valley. There are many springs around the valley converging in the middle of the mountain, and then the water flows from the middle of the mountain to the high cliffs. Down, forming a waterfall like a horse.

The springs that converge towards the center of the valley look like the spokes of a wheel from a distance, making the surrounding valley look like a rim. If you add the waterfall that flies down, it looks like a fan with tassels. Due to the effect of the sound reflection of the valley, the sound of the crashing water can be faintly heard from a long distance facing it.

Almost no introduction is needed to know that Xiangshuifeng deserves its name.

Although the spring waterfall is already in sight and the sound of the water can be heard, it is not too close to walk over. Everyone walked through the flowers and grass, the road was winding and undulating, and the sound of water seemed to always be in the front, from time to time, from time to time, and from time to time. After crossing a small beam, they arrived at a courtyard.

The so-called courtyard is that there are no walls, and there are several houses scattered beside a clearing. It seems that the construction is a bit old, but it has been repaired and preserved. Everyone visited it at random, and Ding Qi found that this place is simply a farmhouse. There is a restaurant and a kitchen, and there are tables on the open space for open-air dining, and the empty house next to it can also be used for accommodation.

Tan Hanchuan asked: "Little Cui, you said that Xiangshui Peak can be opened to receive 30 people at a time, but this place can't be accommodated? Even if it is crowded, I think at most a dozen people can live. "

Shui Ruo explained: "This is the place where we usually come to Xiangshuifeng to stay by ourselves. There is another hospitality place in the mountain, which is left by the ancestors of the past. It is already noon. Let’s have lunch first. Move out and eat in the open air."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Would you like some bamboo wine?"

Shang Ni: "Drink at noon? You have to climb the mountain in the afternoon!"

Cui Shanhai also smiled and shook his head and said: "You can't drink bamboo wine now. You can drink beer on the hour at noon, otherwise you won't be able to enter Xiangshui Peak in the afternoon."

Xiangshui Peak is not only the name of the outside world, but also refers to the peak ahead. Zhuang Mengzhou curiously asked: "Isn't it so powerful? You can pour it after a bite?"

Shui Ruo smiled: "It's not for this reason. You will know what happened when you went up the mountain this afternoon.

She sold it and didn't say why, everyone started cooking together. Many ingredients are brought in from the outside. This is what everyone said in advance. There are also rice noodles with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the backpack. They are all supplies that need to be supplemented here. Cui Shanhai also brought in a box of canned beer. . You know, they walked outside for an hour, climbing mountains and drilling holes.

Fortunately, the season is good, and there is no need to carry fresh vegetables, because there are a lot of wild vegetables here, which tastes and how to make them, they have been familiar since ancient times. Everyone first went to pick wild vegetables nearby, and then went to the water to sort and clean the ingredients.

There is a clear stream that flows by the side of the courtyard. It is very convenient to get water. There are many fish in the stream. Tan Hanchuan and Shi Buquan caught a few more easily, all of which are more than half a catty. Look The species is very similar to the carp. There is a big tree by the small river, the canopy is open to cover the sky, and there is a well in the stream under the canopy.

The stone fence of this well is square, only two feet wide and four feet long. The water in the well is only two feet deep, very clear, but it is separated from the water in the creek. Ye Zongqing was surprised: "The well water does not violate the river water, does the allusion come from here?"

It’s really rare that there are wells in rivers. Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said, "The allusion that outsiders don’t know Xiangshuifeng and that the well water does not violate the river water comes from a place called Zhuwang Village. There is a stream flowing through the village, and there are many square wells in the stream, and the villagers are in the stream. I wash clothes in the middle, but I eat well water."

Yan Binbin was surprised: "Is there any place like this?"

Ding Qi explained: "There is indeed such a place. Zhuwang is a thousand-year-old village. There are nine wells and thirteen bridges in the village. All the nine wells are in the stream, which is very similar to this well. You can walk directly to the side of the well. There is also a beautiful waterfall on the mountain behind Zhuwang Village. There is a pool under the waterfall called Longtan."

Zhuang Mengzhou nodded and said: "Well, Zhu Wanglongtan, I have been there. I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I was looking for the Beast Country, which is Jinshanyuan, but I went to the wrong place and I was a tourist. "

Shi Buquan: "You really went there?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Yes, I found seven or eight places called Longtan in the area around Jinghu Lake, including the back mountain of Zhuwang Village. I saw this well in the stream today, and I thought of Zhuwang Village again. , It seems that Teacher Ding has also investigated the situation there."

Ding Qi: "It's not around Jinghu Lake. It's hundreds of kilometers away. It takes four hours to drive."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's always closer than the Iron Lock Cliff, right?"

Cui Shanhai and his wife asked curiously what was going on, and Ding Qi briefly explained it. The clues they had originally obtained were that Jinshanyuan was located in a place called Longtan, but there were too many "Longtans" all over the country. At first they started investigating from the area around Jinghu Lake, and then they found Fangshan District, Beijing based on the new clues. The iron lock cliff in the outskirts.

Anyway, everyone knows that Jinshanyuan is a newly discovered outside world, and Ding Qi has opened up to the members of the outside alliance, so there is no need to keep secrets in some cases, and you can talk to your own people as anecdotes.

How come there is such a well in the stream in Xiangshui Peak? This well was not dug by Cui Shanhai and his wife, but has existed a long time ago. Everyone began to speculate that the possibilities are nothing more than the following: Either a certain ancestor of Xiangshuifeng has been to Zhuwang Village; or the ancestors of Zhuwang Village have visited Xiangshuifeng; or it is simply a coincidence, everyone. According to the actual conditions, such a way of taking water and using water was invented at the same time.

The cool water of the well is suitable for beer township. There are trees on the well to shade the sun, and there are no fallen leaves in the well. Cui Shanhai put the beer he had brought into the well, and then took out a batch of original beer from the well—the one he brought in last time. He would fill up something every time he came, and the beer he brought in today was exchanged for the beer he brought in from the well last time, so it can be kept without deterioration.

A dozen people did it, and the lunch was quickly prepared. The table was set up on the open space. In this refreshing world, I would drink some beer with game, and it felt very moisturizing.

Shi Buquan ate and said with emotion: "This place is really good, but the road is a bit more difficult and dangerous. Many daily things have to be brought in from the outside, including rice noodles, oil and salt. If you can drive directly to the door, it will be fine." /

Tan Hanchuan smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not tired anyway, everyone has practiced." Today, he counted the most things on his back. A large mountaineering long strip packed hundreds of catties and drilled caves. Sometimes, some places have to take off the backpack to get by.

Zhuang Mengzhou, who has the least things to carry, said with a smile: "In many places in the past, pilgrims who went up the mountain for incense had to carry some rice noodles, oil and salt, otherwise they would be embarrassed to come in today, let alone ask for a Bodhisattva."

Shi Heyu interjected: "I thought it would be fine to give money. Nowadays, monks ask for money directly."

Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said, "That might be a place like this now. Have you heard of that story? There used to be a mountain and a temple on the mountain. There was an old monk and a little monk in the temple. ..."

Everyone laughed and said: "Have heard it, have heard it, this is an endless loop of stories."

Zhuang Mengzhou held up a glass of wine and said, "My version is different, but it's a real story. That mountain is called Baijianshan, and the temple is called Tiewa Temple. There is also Longtan Waterfall in Baijian Mountain, and the name of Tiewa Temple is also There is an iron word, so I have been there when I visited the country of beasts..."

Everyone asked about this anecdote, and Zhuang Mengzhou introduced it. In other words, there is a place called Baijian Mountain. There is an ancient temple on the mountain called Tiewa Temple. The road up the mountain is steep and steep. When pilgrims go up the mountain, they carry some rice noodles, oil and salt.

Being able to go to such a temple to get incense is itself a sign of piety, and rice noodles, oil and salt are what monks need. The monk opened a few acres of fields around the top of the mountain to grow vegetables and beans by himself. With salt, he can also use beans to make sauce. The Tiewa Temple was destroyed by a fire decades ago, and later only a small and a half was rebuilt, because it was too difficult to build a project in that place, and it was impossible to even go up and down the mountain when the weather was bad.

Zhuang Mengzhou first came to the foot of Baijian Mountain and saw an interesting temple in which an old monk lived. When it comes to temples, everyone may think of various classical temple-style buildings. In fact, this is not the case. The place where the Three Jewels are enshrined can be called a Buddhist temple, not the architectural form.

The temple is two very shabby simple red brick houses. The roofs are covered with linoleum. One is for Bodhisattvas and the other is for monks. When Zhuang Mengzhou came to look for Longtan, he gave the old monk some incense money and talked to him for a few words, only to know that there is another iron tile temple on the top of Baijian Mountain, and another old monk lives on the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to Longtan Waterfall, there are messy and damaged ancient stone steps. From Longtan Waterfall to the mountainside, there are still rugged wild trails, but there is no way to go up from the mountainside!

The old monk at the bottom of the mountain told Zhuang Mengzhou that the Tiewa Temple on the top of the mountain has been a place for repairs since ancient times, but there have been few monks. This year they have almost all disappeared. They have either returned to vulgarity or went to other temples because of the life on the mountain. It's not something ordinary people can stand, even monks can't stand it. The old monk at the foot of the mountain had been there many times, but he did not live in the mountain regularly, but stayed in the ruined temple at the foot of the mountain, and he felt pretty good.

Every New Year's Day, there are pilgrims going up the mountain to pray for incense. Many of these pilgrims have been enshrining the Tiewa Temple for generations in their families. If there are no pilgrims to go up the mountain or there are not enough things on the mountain, then the monks have to go down the mountain and carry it on their own.

Why is there this ruined temple at the bottom of the mountain? That's because the monk can't go back the same day after going down the mountain. There must be a place to rest. The two ruined houses at the foot of the mountain should be called the Outer Courtyard of Tiewa Temple, or Zhike Courtyard or Convenient Courtyard.

Zhuang Mengzhou asked again, is there an old monk left on the mountain now? The old monk at the foot of the mountain said that another little monk went up the mountain last month, and it seemed to be okay. It has been almost a month since he went down the mountain. This little monk came on a motorcycle, and the motorcycle has been left behind the mountain.

Speaking of which, Shi Buquan smiled: "Mr. Zhuang’s story is interesting! If Baijian Mountain is compared to Xiangshuifeng, we are pilgrims going up the mountain today, carrying rice noodles, oil and salt. What day will it take for Xiangshuifeng? I can ask the visitors to bring in the things I use in the future. It will save a lot of things over time. Master Cui Feng told them that they should prepare something every time... Next time I will bring an extra set of kitchen supplies. "

Zhuang Meng said seriously on Monday: "I am not making up stories, but telling real people and real things."
