The location of Qinxi Bridge is on the national highway leading from Wanling City to Jingyang County, and there is a Qinxi Town nearby. From the bridge to find a fork in the road to the upper reaches of the river, it is a gravel road, and a short walk along the river beach is to reach the Kotoko Mountain. Qin Gao Mountain, known as Qin Gao Tai in ancient times, is the cultivation place of the legendary Qin Gao Gong.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a stream of spring water that flows along the gravel-strewn beach into the Qinxi, and there is a pond carved out of ancient times on the edge of the cliff. Looking down at the cliff through the water, there is a grotto from which the spring water flows, and the pores between the rock walls are deep and complex, and I don't know where it leads.

The mountain is very close to Qinxi, and Qinxi can directly submerge the foot of the mountain when the flood rises. There are two steles on the side of the river beach under the cliff, one is the "Provincial Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit - Qingao Mountain Cliff Stone Carving" established by the Jingyang County Government, and the other is the "China Lyre Origin Conservation Area" established by the Qinxi Town People's Government.

It's dry season, and everyone parked their cars on the riverside beach on the side of the road. The outcropping stretch of the river beach is wide and scattered with large boulders. After Zhuang Mengzhou got out of the car, he said: "There was originally a bridge here, and the remnants of the bridge piers can still be seen in this section of the river, as if it had just been demolished for a few years. ”

Shanni turned around and said, "The stream here is not deep, it is the kind of tiled stone bridge, but the water surface is wide, so there are many piers between the streams, which are connected by stone slabs to the opposite bank. The bridge deck and piers in the middle are no longer visible, but there is a stone bridge in the place where we are standing, which is still relatively intact, and it has not been long since it was demolished. ”

Bi Xuecheng asked in a low voice, "Master, is there really a stone bridge like that here?"

Ding Qi smiled bitterly: "I don't know, the information about Qin Gaoshan is all on the Internet, and today is the first time to come." There is no mention of a bridge here in the information on the Internet. There should have been in ancient times, the ruins are still there, you look at these stones on the river beach, and the half of the foundation by the river. ”

Ye Yanxing sighed: "Uncle and Uncle Shi are really amazing, it's just a mess of stones, and you can see so many things at a glance." ”

Ding Qi: "You will also have this kind of ability in the future, as long as you cultivate hard." ”

Meng Huiyu asked curiously, "What kind of fish is the lyrefish?" She had already seen the tablet.

Xian Hao had already walked over and explained with a smile: "This is a legendary strange fish, the reason why it is strange is that it is actually a kind of tea for the locals!"

She explained the legend of the lyrefish, and the three disciples were amazed. Meng Huiyu said with regret: "Is the lyre fish in Qinxi almost extinct now? The monument I just saw was erected by the Qinxi Town People's Government, and the payment was made in October 2012, and it has only been six years now, so it is still too late to protect it!"

Xian Hao deliberately glanced at Meng Huiyu, nodded and praised: "We just read it once, and you can actually remember the date of payment on the stele so clearly, well, it is indeed very heartfelt." ”

They didn't come to see the scenery of Qinxi, but turned around on the river beach to see the Qingao Platform, which is a high cliff distributed near the water, and it really looks like a high platform from a distance.

On the gray-white stone wall, there are many large and small cliff carvings from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and most of the handwriting has been mottled and illegible. Everyone saw the stone carving specially drawn in the map outside the square, the picture was painted "Qinliudan Hall", the handwriting was only the size of mung beans, and at the scene, each word was close to a meter square.

Now they can only barely see the three words "Qindan Hall", and the word "flow" and the payment are no longer legible. Zhu Jingyi traveled all over the country to record the time of the Fangwai Atlas, roughly from the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the cliff stone carvings were still very clear at that time. Unfortunately, in modern times, the acid content of rainwater has become higher and higher, and the corrosion of historical sites has become more and more serious.

Above this cliff carving, everyone saw the hole they were looking for. The entrance to the cave is not directly facing the river bank, but facing a gap between the mountain walls, revealing a half-hidden outline, and it is impossible to see how deep it is. Tan Hanchuan pointed with his hand: "The place we are going to is there." ”

Ye Yanxing frowned and said, "This mountain is so steep and high, you can't go up at all!"

Tan Hanchuan: "I'll go up and put a rope down first, you don't have to worry, there will be someone behind to support you to climb up." I can't do it, I'll drag you up one by one. ”

Many ancient ruins have survived because they are in places that are difficult for ordinary people to set foot in. Although a place like Kototaka Mountain is not remote, there are very few people who come here because it is not well-known. As for the entrance to the cave of Qin Gaogong, it is on the cliff, more than 20 meters above the ground, and ordinary people can't go up at all.

Tan Hanchuan took the lead in climbing up with a coil of rope on his back, and his body was extremely flexible when he climbed the cliff with his hands. Meng Huiyu looked very nervous below, for fear that he would miss and fall, but Zhu Shanxian and the others looked very relaxed.

Tan Hanchuan quickly arrived at the location of the entrance of the cave, disappeared, and after a while, he poked his head out and made a gesture, meaning that there was a place inside, and everyone could come up. If you find the wrong cave and the space inside is small, you can't fit so many people.

Meng Huiyu went up first, put on gloves and grabbed the rope, and climbed up the cliff with her feet, Xian Hao deliberately followed behind, and held it up if there was an accident. Next is Ye Yanxing, followed by Zhu Shanxian. Then there was Bi Xuecheng, and Ding Qi followed. These three disciples can also be regarded as having a foundation for cultivating kung fu, and they climbed up on their own, and did not let their elders help.

Then he pulled the big bags and small bags of equipment that he brought with the car with a rope, and then Shannie climbed into the cave. The last is Zhuang Mengzhou, he didn't climb by himself, but put the rope head around his waist and buckled it, and the stone wall was pulled up by Tan Hanchuan, which was the most effortless.

The entrance to the cave doesn't look big underneath, but it's actually not small, big enough for a person to stand up and walk in. On the cave walls on both sides, you can also see a lot of cliff carvings left by the ancients, because the location is in the cave, so the preservation situation is much better than the outside. They were obviously not the first wave of people to visit the ruins of the Emperor of Koto, as many people have been here since ancient times.

Walking into the depths of the mountain through the crooked cave, Tan Hanchuan explored the way in front with a strong flashlight, and Zhuang Mengzhou broke back. Everyone carried a bag, Bi Xuecheng, Ye Yanxing, and Meng Huiyu carried an ordinary big mountaineering bag, which was stuffed full, but it was obviously one size smaller than other people's bags, only about the same size as Zhuang Mengzhou's bag.

Ding Qi carried a special narrow bag, wider than a person's body, the lower end hung down to the knees, the top was almost level with the top of his head, and a camping tent was stuffed inside, and everything added up to hundreds of pounds. He held a stick in his left hand and a strong flashlight in his right hand, following behind Bi Xuecheng.

Tan Hanchuan and Zhu Shanxian only brought a lot more things than Ding Qi, while Xian Hao and Shang Ni brought about the same things as Ding Qi. Since I didn't know what kind of world I was going to and what I would encounter inside, I was very well prepared.

The cave goes into a fork, each fork is not deep, the end seems to be a stone room, and some are in the main cave side of the larger space. Tan Hanchuan walked the widest passage, and after about two or three hundred meters, he finally came to the end. This is a cave hall in the middle of the mountain, with an area of about six or seven meters in circumference, and it is also five or six meters high when you look up.

I don't know how many people have seen such a cave hall in the mountain, its upper end is a hemispherical dome, and it is very smooth, as if it has been chiseled by hand, in fact, it is naturally formed. The floor in the cave hall is very flat, and there are several stones, which are in the shape of tables, chairs, and beds, which are reminiscent of the ancient Xianjia Cave Mansion.

At the end of the cave hall, there is a cliff carving, but there is no writing, that is, the shape of a stone tablet is chiseled. It looks like someone is going to erect a monument here, but after the outline is chiseled out, there is no time to engrave the picture and text. But everyone came to explore the outside world, and when they saw it, they realized that this was probably the place where the portal was.

Tan Hanchuan lit a solar-charged emergency lamp and pointed at the stone wall, turned around and asked, "Teacher Ding, do you see this is it?"

Ding Qi didn't take out the Jingwen Stone, and now the Jingwen Stone is carried with him, and he can urge it whether he holds it in his hand or not. He stood in front of the stone wall and stared intently, this stone wall seemed to disappear, and there was a mountain forest valley outside. It was a strange feeling, as if he was standing at the door of a mountain valley, as if this cave had pierced the mountain, and they had gone all the way to the other side.

But this is not the case, because the cave is dark and requires lighting to see clearly, and the light outside does not shine in during the day. Ding Qi nodded and said, "This is the portal, and I have already seen the scene inside." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "You can let the three of them try." ”

Xian Hao: "Meng Huiyu, you come first, use Jingwen Stone to put your mind, and use the method that Master taught you." ”

Meng Huiyu stood in front of the stone wall with Jingwen Stone in her hand, her eyes didn't seem to be looking at the stone wall, but looked through the stone wall into a long distance, and exclaimed: "You can go out here, there are mountains and fields outside!" Then she realized that this sentence was wrong, and muttered in a low voice: "It's amazing, how can it be like this, it's obviously just a stone wall!"

Ding Qi: "What you see is the high platform of the piano in the outside world, here is the gateway to enter it, and you can complete your studies." ”

Bi Xuecheng stood in the position of Meng Hui's words, and then shouted: "Oh my God, what did I see? It's winter now, but it's the birds and flowers over there!"

Tan Hanchuan frowned and said: "The season is indeed wrong, this is the first time we have encountered this situation." Of course, he had already seen the scene on the other side of the portal, and now he was only asking the three disciples to seal the secret method outside the square.

Ding Qi: "How can it be so exaggerated, there are indeed mountain flowers blooming, but I haven't seen or heard birds calling, don't use idioms indiscriminately." ”

Bi Xuecheng: "I just heard the birds!"

Ye Yanxing: "Senior Brother Bi will listen to the birds later, let's replace me first, hey, it's really full of flowers, it's incredible, it's indeed another world." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "If there is no outside world, where can the secret method outside the square come from? That's what you learned from the master! After you go in, you will sigh slowly, let's discuss how to enter first." ”

Shanny: "It's not easy, just walk in." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "We don't know the world outside the prescription yet, we only know that the seasons are different. In order to prevent accidents, it is better to be cautious. A few of us, we can walk in directly, as for the three of them, I suggest that we still use the method last time, anyway, what should be confirmed has been confirmed. ”

He is a shocking elder, and what he said makes sense, so everyone agrees. The three disciples had not fully recovered from the shock, and Ding Qi had already spoken: "You all stand beside me, put your backpacks on your backs, and pick up the stones for the time being. It's heavier, isn't it? It's going to be lighter now, and you're going to feel the pressure on your shoulders slowly disappear."

When the three disciples came back to their senses, they found themselves standing on a hillside, next to a towering giant tree that several people hugged together, and in the distance were two ridges like arms, surrounded by a valley with lush vegetation on the left and right, and then looked back, where was there still the shadow of the cave and the stone wall.

Bi Xuecheng was surprised: "Master, are we in?"

Ding Qi nodded and said, "Yes, we have come to the Qin Gaotai of the Outer World. ”

Ye Yanxing said excitedly: "Oh my God! such a miraculous thing will really happen, I believe that there are immortals in the world!"

Meng Hui said: "I also believe it, Master is an immortal!" said this, and suddenly frowned, looked at Ding Qi and whispered, "Master, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong?"

Ding Qi's mood was indeed not very good, he had already realized that he might be in trouble, but in order to avoid panicking a few disciples, he tried not to show it, but Meng Huiyu was still very keenly aware of Ding Qi's subtle emotional changes.

Ding Qi said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "There is a little problem, have you seen Uncle Zhuang and Uncle Shang?"

The three of them looked around and said, "No, haven't they come in yet?"

Ding Qi shook his head and said, "They should all have come in, but they have gone to different places. ”

Ding Qi hypnotized all three disciples just now, and Vennie said at that time: "Then I'll go in first." ”

Zhuang Mengzhou also said: "The things on my back are weird and heavy, you can help me." ”

The two had already entered the high platform at that time, and Ding Qi was hypnotizing the three disciples, so he didn't pay attention. Bi Xuecheng and the other three were already in a state of deep hypnosis, and they turned a blind eye to all this. But after Ding Qi came in, he didn't see Shang Ni and Zhuang Mengzhou.

The field of vision in this area is very wide, they will not go far, and it is only a few seconds, under normal circumstances, Zhuang Mengzhou and Shang Ni should also stand in place and wait for others. Therefore, the first judgment that Ding Qi came to was that this portal was different from Xiaojing Lake and Da Chi Mountain, and after entering, it would randomly arrive at different locations in the Fangwai World.

It's nothing, it's a big deal to find everyone, but another discovery almost makes him break out in a cold sweat. Looking back, I didn't see where the portal to leave this world was. Ding Qi had already taken out Jing Wenshi when he spoke, and there was nothing behind him.

He could also remember where he walked in, and if the portal was invisible, locking it with his consciousness would make it manifest. However, no matter how Ding Qi held the Jingwen Stone to unfold his divine sense, he couldn't detect any portals. Since you can get in, there should be a way to get out, but if everyone arrives in a different place, then the location of the portal is unknown.

That's the biggest problem, if they can't find the portal here, it means they can't go back!

At this time, Bi Xuecheng exclaimed again: "Wow, it turned out to be a random teleportation!" He obviously didn't realize what kind of big trouble he was encountering, and he seemed very excited, anyway, with the master leading the way, no matter what happened, he didn't have to worry.

Ding Qi felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't let the three disciples feel this anxious emotion, so he had to calm down and said: "It's indeed a random teleportation, we need to find the other person as soon as possible, and then determine the location of the portal here, did you really hear the bird call just now?"

Bi Xuecheng finally had a chance to explain in detail, and quickly nodded: "I really heard the birds, and I also saw the birds on the branches, the feathers are beautiful!"

Ye Yanxing: "What about the bird? Which branch?"

Bi Xuecheng: "No, this is not what I saw before. ”

Ding Qi asked again: "Ye Yanxing, you just said that you saw the mountains and flowers. Although there are flowers here, but in the valley in front of it, it can't be called beautiful at all, and this is not the place you are talking about, right?"

Ye Yanxing nodded and said, "Yes, what I saw is not here." ”

Bi Xuecheng slapped his thigh and said: "I understand, that door is a random portal, and everyone sees a different scene outside the door, and they will be teleported to wherever they see." ”

Bi Xuecheng understood, and Ding Qi sighed in his heart, he also just reacted, why are the descriptions of the three disciples in the cave different, it turns out that everyone sees a different scene. At this time, Meng Huiyu asked, "Then how did the four of us come to the same place?"

Ding Qi tried his best to make his expression relaxed, smiled and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"

Meng Hui said: "Oh, I also understand, because we were brought in by the master, not by ourselves!"

Ding Qi: "The world outside the square is the mysterious unknown in this world, and exploration is a test. Now the time has come to test you, tell me, what should you do with the first step now?"

Bi Xuecheng: "Of course, we should find other people first. ”

Ding Qi: "Of course, but how do we find it? We don't know what's going on here, we don't know where they are, what should we do?"

Ye Yanxing: "I can't watch many wilderness survival programs, first of all, I should find a water source." ”

Tintzy: "Well, the idea makes sense, in the unfamiliar wilderness you should first be guaranteed to survive, and then try to find companions. ”

Meng Huiyu added: "It's not just about finding water, it's also about finding surface runoff, and then walking along the surface runoff, you may come to a place where there are people." If Uncle Shi and Uncle do the same, they might meet Master on the road, is there anyone else in this world? I mean the aborigines. ”
