Chapter 35 Turns out that treasure hunting requires all preparations
Throughout the night, he found thirty high mountains, nineteen forests, fifty-eight Daze, and seventy-three long rivers according to Old Man Su's manuscript. He arranged and combined these nouns, excluded the majority, and finally found fourteen regions.
Eight of these areas are significantly too large to be used as a location. There are three more that are not very reasonable. There are three most valuable areas, one in Zhongnan Mountain, one in Huashan, and one in Emei Mountain. Further analysis he believes that the most likely is Huashan.
It is also strange to say that the land of this Great Zhou World is more than ten times larger than in the previous life, but many of the place names are familiar.
After thinking about it, the center of pre-Qin culture was near Chang'an, which was the birthplace of Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Early immortals may also have been there. So he decided to go to Huashan.
In the early morning of Liri, Zhou Heng left this ordinary inn, bought an ordinary yellow fat horse, prepared some ordinary dry food, and slowly marched towards Huashan.
Since it was the first time he went far away, he decided to take the official road.
There are many people on the official road, horseback, chariots, and walkers, coming and going, in an endless stream. The advantage of the official road is that you don't have to worry about finding a place to stay. Every eighteen miles there will be a village where you can find inns. In addition, it is relatively safe, and people who block the road and rob are very rare.
He rode his horse unhurriedly, and his body was no longer a student's long shirt, but a businessman's short clothes. The noon in June is hot, and many people take a break in the shade of the trees. He was the only one who kept moving forward, and for lunch he just ate some dry food that he had brought. It wasn't until it was getting dark that I found a hotel to rest. The eight veins of his Qi Sutra have all been opened, and ten of the twelve canons have also been opened. Such a hot day is a good opportunity for him to practice qi. It seems that it will not take a month to open up the meridians of the whole body. At that time, the practice of refining and refining qi was considered to be completed. Note 1
When I arrived at Huashan, it was already a month later. At this time, it was the height of summer in July, and it was as hot as fire, so he left his horse in a peasant family at the bottom of the mountain and carried up the mountain alone with enough dry food.
On Mount Hua, he was more determined in his thoughts.
The strange peaks of Huashan are towering, the cliffs are towering, the east, south, west, north, and middle, the five peaks are surrounded by each other, the sky is high, and the shape of looking at it from afar is like a blooming lotus. The lotus petals are high and low, which is the image of "there are mountains that do not match".
Each of the five mountains has its own shape, the so-called "Heng Mountain such as walking, Huashan such as standing, Mount Tai such as sitting, Heng Mountain such as flying, Songshan such as lying", so a flower should be independent of Huashan.
But there are five peaks in Huashan Mountain, and there are thirty-six small peaks, which peak is the treasure hidden? The most eye-catching thing on the treasure map is a small stream, and the stream must be found first.
He wandered around Huashan, but he didn't see a stream for five days. When he was hesitating and hesitating in his heart, he suddenly heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang", and when he looked closer, it turned out to be an old woodcutter who had just cut open the mouth of a pine tree a foot thick, and he was sweating profusely with heat, throwing his axe, and was waiting to rest for a while.
Zhou Heng stepped forward and greeted: "Old man, it's hard!"
The old man glanced at him, maybe a little bored, and complained to Zhou Heng: "Dead God, it's so hot!"
Zhou Heng picked up the axe from the ground and said with a smile: "I'll help you chop it twice." Before the old man could reply, he picked up his axe and cut it down. He didn't want to scare the old man, so he gently cut down the tree more than ten times. When he came back, the old man's mouth was still wide open.
Zhou Heng handed the axe into the old man's hand and asked with a smile: "I have a relative who is said to live by the small river near Huashan, do you know where there is a river near here?"
The old man thought for a long time and said, "No, there is no river within a radius of thirty miles, I'm afraid your relatives are wrong, right?"
Zhou Heng looked up at the top of the mountain and asked unwillingly: "That old man, there will always be springs in this big Huashan, right?
The old man replied: "There is a spring water, there is a hill behind the Lotus Peak, and there is a 'Li Spring' in the middle of the mountain, the spring water is endless all year round, and the water we drink comes from there." ”
Zhou Heng was overjoyed and hurriedly went to look for it. It didn't take long to find it on a small hill.
The hill is not high, there is a platform on the mountainside, and there is a spring on the platform that hugs the thickness of the mountain, and the water flows endlessly, first into a large pool, and then winds down the mountain, but before reaching the foot of the mountain, it flows into the small crevice of the rock, so that the water cannot be seen at the bottom of the mountain.
The water in the pool is crystal clear. In the center of the pond, a bluestone protrudes, like a crane raising its head high.
Zhou Heng smiled when he saw it: "This is it! It's the same as the one drawn on the treasure map!"
He walked around the waterhole and thought, "If the treasure was buried around the pool, it is estimated that it would have been discovered a long time ago." It seems that it should not be near the spring. “
He sat down on the edge of the pool, pondered for a long time, and looked up to see the crane, holding its head high, as if to mock him for his incompetence.
Look in the direction of the crane looking up, at a glance is the yin side of the main peak of Huashan Lotus Peak, where it is like the cliff that is split by a knife and an axe, straight up and down, almost a thousand zhang, only in the place where there is a depression more than 300 zhang away from the foot of the mountain, there are a few old pines.
He stared intently at the place where the pine tree had grown, and his heart suddenly moved: "Could it be there?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy: "Yes, it's possible! If I can't find it nearby, I'll have to go up and have a look." ”
"But how can I go up? Hang down from the top of the mountain with a rope? No, where will there be a rope seven hundred feet long? Or climb up from below? But the cliff is so high, can I do it?"
"Just to be on the safe side, let's come back tomorrow!"
Note 1: In Lu Dongbin's writings, there is such a sentence that if you want to grow rapidly, you must "shine on Xichuan all day long". It is said that every moment must leave a point of thought in the dantian, a point of thought is enough, the key is that the dantian is slightly warm, the fire is too strong to destroy, too weak to be cold. Because there is no interruption, this method is five times faster than the common practice method of 2 o'clock at the meridian every day.
