Chapter 710 Liu Zhen
After paying homage to Xianwang, he took his friends to see the stone tablets where dignitaries from past dynasties came here to pay their respects, as well as the rural covenants and folk rules carved by the villagers to protect the cemetery and mountains, and mastered After hearing the news about the poor management of the Soy Sauce Garden Factory, Zhou Zhi took his friends back in the car and got off the car at the foot of Anle Mountain. Everyone started climbing the mountain.
Jiachuan has a hilly landform. There is only a higher mountain ten miles west of the city. In ancient times, it was called Anle Mountain or Shaomin Mountain. It was also called Bijia Mountain because it was shaped like a penholder.
The Jiachuan people’s favorite way to play is to call friends in the spring. Starting from the county, walk five miles to Anleshan Primary School, and then walk through the deep pond dam next to the gas transmission station and walk into the countryside. After walking for another five miles on the dirt road to the foot of the mountain, and another five miles up the mountain, you can reach Wangxiang Terrace after passing through the Jiudao Turning Point, the Kal Stone, the Supporting Stone, the Jiulian Cave, the Chuanfeng Cave, and bypassing the Immortal Stone on the main peak. See the Sky Talisman Tree.
There are many scenic spots around here. After the tour, you can have a vegetarian meal at the ancient temple Yuntai Temple, or bring your own cold meal at Wangxiang Terrace. After eating and drinking, you can go along the way. After descending the mountain from the cliff carvings, I refilled my kettle with the mountain spring in a bowl of water above the Yanzhenguan ruins at the foot of the mountain, then followed the country stone road all the way down to the Hongshui River, and walked all the way back to Jiachuan amid the golden rapeseed flowers on the left and right. city.
A spring outing of thirty miles round trip is not a short journey. Most families need to leave early in the morning and come back in the evening.
Many places on the mountain are quite dangerous. The government still doesn’t have much money to repair them. They basically retain their original flavor. In Zhou Zhi’s eyes, everything is natural and lovely.
Jiudao Turn is the first dangerous point. The mountain road here is narrow and steep, with several zigzags going back and forth. The road turns nine times in total, hence the name.
Looking from the bottom up, every two friends have lost their direction, which is quite interesting.
The top of Jiudaoguai is the Kar Stone. Two huge rocks block the way, one on the left and one on the right. There is a stone gap in the middle, and there are several stone stairs on the stone gap. It is difficult for people who are slightly fatter. In the past, Fang Wenyu and Yang He went up first, sitting on the top of the stone and pulling their friends upward.
It was the first time for Jiang Shuyi and Yang He to climb this mountain, and they were full of novelty.
As you go forward, the road becomes narrower. The most dangerous point is a ridge similar to Huashan's "Carp Back". There are steep cliffs on both sides. The middle path can only stand on, so it is called " Narrow feet".
Boys are brave, and Liang Hong is also brave. Now they are standing on the edge of the cliff outside the path, holding hands in a relay, leading the girls over cautiously.
This section of the road is around the first small pen peak in Anle Mountain. After passing here, it is an easy to walk flat road, and the second main peak is the center of the pen stand, shaped like a big fairy, leaning on it Sitting on the mountain wall, you can see clearly even from Jiachuan County.
This is called "Immortal Stone".
It is also very clear to see the county seat from under the Immortal Stone. The Hongshui River meanders through Anle Mountain, flows through a hilly area and then enters the river at Ma Street. The intersection of the two rivers is the Jiachuan County seat.
There is also a small hole on the main peak. This hole magically penetrates the east and west sides of the main peak. During the short period of noon, the temperature difference on both sides of the foothills always causes the air to flow, maintaining a cool breeze for a long time. , so it is called "wind tunnel".
A dozen people can squeeze into the Chuanfeng Tunnel, and you can also see the rock structure of Anle Mountain. The Danxia landform is sandwiched with sedimentary pebbles and small snail shell fossils, but the small snail shells are all buried. People picked it up and played with it.
When you climb up to Chuanfeng Cave, you can see a field at the foot of Anle Mountain, which looks like the footprints of a giant. It is a relic left by an immortal.
Everyone blew the cool breeze in the wind tunnel for a while. After feeling cool, they walked back to the main road and headed towards the third peak.
You have to pass the supporting stone here, which is actually a stone crevice. The stone crevice is densely packed with wooden sticks. According to Jiachuan custom, after supporting the wooden sticks here, the whole family will not have back pain this year.
Going here, the cultural scenery begins to increase. The first is a cave, Jiulian Cave.
This hole is very "flat", that is, the space is huge but the height is very low. You have to kneel to crawl in. There is a stone as big as a bed inside, and there are some large and small stones around it.
It is said that there was an immortal here who practiced Taoism in the past, and the stone bed and stones were all transformed from his items back then. The girls couldn't hold back their curiosity, so they got in and crawled around.
When they came out of the cave, Zhou Zhi began to tell stories about the mountain.
“We visited Xian Wang just now. He left a poem titled "Inscribed on Anle Mountain" at that time, which said:
The green peaks lean across the white clouds, and the traces of the real people of the Sui Dynasty have faded away.
The green cypresses are not withered, the dragons are thin, the stone springs are still in the cold light of the mirror.
There is no road in the mist, but the bones of immortality are enough to be criticized. "
"This poem is about an immortal who lived in Jiachuan, named Liu Zhen. "
"According to historical records, Liu Zhen, whose courtesy name was Shanqing, was from Mianzhu or Shifang. During the Kaihuang period, which was also the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he lived in Anle Mountain. One day he took his Alchemy Sutra Zhongpan and sealed it in a stone chamber. He said: "A sage should take it in the next sixty years." After saying this, I looked up at the sun in April and ascended to immortality. "
"After ascending to the throne, he did not forget his hometown. He descended to the palace of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty that day. The historical record is that 'the emperor was surprised and sighed at the strange things, and rode to Hejiang County to inquire about the truth.' The county magistrate received the emperor The edict was startled, so he copied Liu Zhen's deeds for hearing. When the emperor knew about it, he ordered his master to save money and build the upper, middle and lower temples in Anle Mountain during the Hongshou period. Now only Shangguan remains, which later evolved into Yuntai Temple on the mountain. "
"Then time passed in a blink of an eye, and the world also changed its master. When Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty heard about this, he sent an envoy to Jiachuan to search for it. Sure enough, the Alchemy Sutra Zhongpan left by Liu Zhen was found in Bailu Cave. After the envoy presented it to the emperor, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict That is, the temple was built on the mountain, and the imperial plaque said: "Yanzhen". This is the origin of the Yanzhenguan ruins at the foot of Bijia Mountain. ”
Jiang Shuyi was a little confused: "Is there really such a thing?"
"Most of them are attached, right?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "I'm not sure, but there is indeed such a record in the notes of the Tang Dynasty. And There are also many miracles on the mountain caused by this.”
“In addition to ancient people’s notes, there are also local legends. It’s even more interesting.”
“Jiuzi, please tell us.”
“There are many versions of Liu Zhen’s story, and many legends about Jia Chuan are also related to him. The story is roughly that Liu Zhen was from the Sui Dynasty. She was just an ordinary scholar at first and lived in Yanshang, Xianshi Literacy Center, Jiachuan County
Liu Zhen's father died in her early years, leaving her mother alone in the family. Liu Zhen taught in a private school in Xianshi. She went out to collect firewood every morning and evening, and mother and son depended on each other.
When she has nothing to do, Liu Zhen always goes to the Hongshui River or the mouth of Daqiao River to play. There he met a short Taoist priest with a white beard. Liu Zhen invited him to sit in the library, where they talked about poetry, painting, and played chess.
The Taoist knew everything about astronomy and geography at all times and in all over the world. He was very different from ordinary old country people, so the two became friends.
One day, Liu Zhen asked him: 'Taoist Master and I have known each other for a long time, but we still don't know our surname and where we live? ’
