Most of the main attractions in the scenic area are temples carved out of the cliff face or naturally formed caves. Perhaps behind an inconspicuous cave is a natural cave that hides an unknown magic. And the many palaces built on the cliff are magnificent and magnificent, Daluo Palace, Longtou Temple, Yunfeng Temple, etc. are all ancient relics. The tower stands on the hanging wall, you can feel the distant breath in the valley of Cangshan Mountain, occasionally floating clouds float by, and the spirit is magnificent like the heavenly palace.

If there is a slight regret of the feeling, and the tour party has walked through the thousand lotus mountains, the current Mianshan scenic spot has been invested and built by a local private enterprise, it is inevitable to leave some traces of excessive carving in many places, but it has destroyed the wonderful interest of artificially chiseled and natural mountains and rivers since ancient times.

The terrain in the depths of Mianshan is too dangerous, and it is difficult to carry out tourism development in many places, and the scope of open scenic spots is not large.

You stay in the area of the belly rock for the longest time, here is also the first of more than 100 caves known in Mianshan, the mountain is like an arm embrace, so the belly rock is named. The space in the belly of Mt. Iwanouchi is staggeringly large, and it can accommodate hundreds of halls and tens of thousands of people!

This natural giant cave has two floors, and it is also a super-large auditorium, and during the Anti-Japanese War, the Jiexiu anti-Japanese government often held a county-wide military and civilian meeting in the belly rock. Looking up at the temple from the bottom to the top, it is like a pavilion in the air, Yunfeng Temple, the empty king hall, the thousand Buddha hall, the Jietui Temple, the stone Buddha hall, the five dragon halls are all deeply hidden in the belly rock, the rain and snow do not invade, it is the quiet and dangerous realm of nature.

Tang Banxiu disguised himself as a walking monk, and bypassed under the belly rock and entered the depths of the mountain, but You Fang turned here and went directly into the belly rock. Although You Fang's mind has not recovered, his spontaneous spiritual consciousness is extremely clear, and the shock he received here is indescribable, and Wu Yuchong's feelings are almost the same as his.

Before entering the Mingwang Hall of Yunfeng Temple, You Fang felt that there was suddenly an invisible force that almost didn't push him out, and it took his mind to stabilize his body without hindrance, and Wu Yuchong simply shook for a while and almost didn't stand firm, at this moment she really held You Fang's arm to stand.

This hall is embedded in the depression of the belly rock, the top of the boulder is like a cover, in the narrow space of less than 30 square meters, the upper, middle and lower three layers are carved out of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man respectively, the top layer is suspended with the glass world, the world of swaggering and the world of Elysium, the gods and Buddhas in the auspicious cloud heavenly palace or cold, or compassionate, or smiling, the look is different. The lower palace is surrounded by ten kings, each chest is angry, the hair is fluttering like fire, riding a fierce beast to step on the evil ghost, and the bare feet are angry.

Compassion and slaughter are blended, solemnity and wrath are one, it is true! There is not only the spirituality of a certain statue here, but the whole temple, this rock, and this mountain are all integrated into the square inch of heaven and earth, such as boundless mysteries and squares. You Fang and Wu Yuchong held their breath for a long time in front of the Ming Palace, neither of them spoke or stepped into the palace, and they were still silent when they turned to leave.

As they walked out of the Belly Rock, a gust of mountain wind blew and a pleasant bell rang in the air. Looking back, there are countless bird holes on the top wall of the cave, and there are dense copper bells hanging from them. This is the hanging bell of a peerless rock in Mianshan, there is a custom in this place since ancient times, the good men and women who enter the mountain to make a wish hire people to hang the rope from the top of the rock to the air, swing back and forth into the hole, hook the top of the rock to play the wedge hanging bell, and the many hanging bells on the belly rock do not know that they have hung for hundreds of years.

There is a tour guide who is explaining the origin of this custom to the tour group that he has brought in. It is said that in ancient times, there was a fierce beast named "Kiss" in Mianshan, which was dangerous and abnormal in the mountains. There is a young man who is strong in martial arts and good at hunting and voluntarily goes to subdue the fierce kiss, and before entering the mountain, he first comes to the belly rock to pray for protection from the ancient Buddha of the Ming king. When he turned around to leave after praying, he suddenly saw a golden glow shining all over the room, and a five-inch-high golden bell with a handle appeared on the incense table, and the golden bell was also engraved with demon-slaying runes.

The young hunter took this golden bell and entered the depths of the mountain alone, shaking the golden bell to attract the mountains and rivers to respond, and the power that can operate the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth finally subdued the fierce kiss. There are various versions of the ending of the story, folklore, and even the commentary of each tour guide is different. Some people say that the fierce beast of the kiss was subdued and turned into a beautiful woman and left with the young man, and some people say that the kiss was deep in the mountains of Yongzhen, and in short, it never appeared again.

Looking back at the hanging bell in the empty rock, the beautiful mountains and rivers are also full of affection, Wu Yuchong said inexplicably: "The inheritance token of the Wuchong faction is also a golden bell." ”

You Fang looked at the top of the rock and replied: "This is actually the legend of the ancestor of the Wuchong faction manifesting a real person, as the contemporary head of the Wuchong faction, you should know very well, right?" ”

Wu Yuchong: "I've heard some things from Master, but it's not very clear, can Brother You Fang tell me?" Even if I knew, I would like to hear you tell it again, I like to listen to my brother tell stories, just like when we were in Meiling. ”

The experience of the ancestor of the Wuchong sect manifesting the life of the real person is quite peculiar. When he was a teenager, he was a small novice under the seat of a practicing monk in the palace of the Empty King of the Belly Rock. After the monk passed away, he left the empty gate but did not return to the world, but tied his hair as a way and entered the depths of the mountains to cultivate. Since ancient times, of course, it is impossible to blindly sit and succeed, he often travels in the mountains, practicing medicine as a traveling party.

When he walked through the mountains and crossed the village, he shook a golden bell in his hand, and the poisonous insects and beasts retreated, and the people of the village knew that this Langzhong was passing by, and there were patients at home who would ask him for treatment. In ancient times, the transportation in the mountains was inconvenient, and the miasma plague hurt people better than the kiss of the beast, and the story of the manifestation of the real person became a legend today, and the golden bell that shook in his hand was later the inheritance token of the Wuchong faction.

The disciples of the manifestation real person are all patients he has treated in the mountains, and they are passed on to Yang Gong Wuchong's secret technique of transforming evil, and later followed him into the mountains to practice, which is the source of the Wuchong sect. How could You Fang understand so clearly? Part of it is what Liu Li said, and the other part is what he knew in the secret room where he collected the relics of the inheritance of the past generations of earth masters, and consulted various classic notes.

After saying this past incident, You Fang sighed: "Although the secret method of Wuchong Transformation is the secret method of the Wind Gate passed on by Yang Gong, the manifestation patriarch has his own understanding, and the illusion method he passed on is like a Tao and close to the Buddha, and it is not unrelated to his experience. ”

Leaving the belly rock and moving forward, the bell faintly echoes in the mountains and rivers, like a magic and a reality. You Fang glanced at Wu Yuchong, his expression was slightly different, and he didn't say anything when he wanted to speak. This trip is also an opportunity for Wu Yuchong to understand the secret method of Wu Chong, when you see her on the shore of Luhu Lake, Wu Yuchong has just crossed the threshold of mountains and rivers love, so at this moment she seems to have truly proved that the mountains and rivers are lovely.

He didn't speak, but Wu Yuchong spoke: "Brother, what do you want to say?" ”

You Fang's tone changed and said: "I remembered a poem by the ancients, which describes the divine posture of this situation and this scene - the ancient clouds of the temple are always there, and the rock sky is about to fall. This is really a place, and it is famous. The bird whisks the golden bell crossing, and the monk edge stone gap line. Sitting and listening to the sound of the Buddha, the rain of flowers falls silently. ”

The two chatted and walked, the mountain road ahead was getting more and more dangerous, and in some places they had to carefully hold on to the chains on the side of the road to walk steadily, and Wu Yuchong seemed to be delicate and powerless to hold the tour side, but Tingting who walked on the outside of this dangerous mountain road was curling, sometimes even stepping through the void for half a step, but there was no trace.

The mountain road in front of bends, successively bypasses the five peaks of different situations, here is called the tomb of the five dragons, there was a poem: "The road is especially dangerous at the end of the mountain, and the river is deeper and the water is more and more proud." The temple building is not seen today, and it is still five peaks high. "Passing through the tomb of the five dragons, in front of the cliff is the sacrifice of life, according to legend, in order to repay the deep favor or to save the deep love, there were people here who made a vow to throw themselves to the cliff.

When passing by the Sacrifice Cliff, You Fang smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Little wanderer, little wanderer, you also have today!" ”

Wu Yuchong said quietly: "Brother You Fang, your means are superb, the thresholds of the rivers and lakes are all refined, the secret methods of martial arts are superb, there are so many masters planted in your hands, Mr. Rand is famous in the rivers and lakes today, and your identity as You Fang is also like a fish in water and free in the world." Everything you went through was too smooth, but now you are captured by me, I was worried that you would not be able to stand it, but I didn't expect you to be so calm along the way, and I didn't sigh until this moment. ”

You Fang still smiled bitterly: "I'm just sighing at this cliff of sacrificing my body, sacrificing my body is not without me, nor is it not that I don't know the value of my body. ”

Wu Yuchong: "Oh, listen to my brother, did you come with me voluntarily?" ”

You Fang: "If you don't go, I'll come sooner or later." ”

Wu Yuchong turned his face sideways and looked up at him: "Do you remember the intoxication of that night in Meiling, I will never forget it no matter what." But you were clearly suspicious of me at the time, and what happened later? ”

You Fang looked at the mist drifting under the cliff, and his eyes seemed to be looking far away and recalling: "The first time I saw you was at Chongqing Airport, you followed Mr. Xue, and Mr. Xue traveled thousands of miles to send me the relics of Wu Lao, which is the most valuable wealth I inherited as You Fang." The person I should least suspect is you, and the person I should care about the most in this world is also you, otherwise I feel sorry for the eyes of heaven.

But the older the rivers and lakes, the more cautious they become, I do have doubts about you, knowing that you have a good kung fu, from the United States, and appeared at this sensitive time, although there is no reason, but you have to guard and test, this suspicion even made me feel ashamed! Your brother You Fang is not stupid, he can see that your childhood experience was not pleasant, and he also asked your grandmother in private, and she asked me to take good care of you.

You're so cute in front of me, no, you're so cute in front of everyone! Everyone likes you very much, and I can see that you are trying to show your best side, yes, haven't you found it yourself, even if it is deliberate, it may be true in the end, it is your real beauty, how can I forget? ”

Wu Yuchong lowered his head and asked in a weak voice, "What happened later?" ”

You Fang's voice was full of helplessness: "What else can I do with the hangover that night in Meiling?" I just want to ask you one question now, under the Shengjin Tower, you blocked An Zuojie's sneak attack for me, of course, to dispel my doubts about you, you succeeded! But at this time, I want to ask you - if I didn't know that I was Melander at that time, and only said that I was Brother You Fang, would you have blocked that blow? ”

Wu Yuchong's voice was even more inaudible: "Yes, I'd rather you were just Brother You Fang." ”

While talking, there was a tour guide in front of him holding a small flag and walking along the dangerous mountain road with a team of tourists sticking to the mountain wall, and you stood on the outside of the mountain road, and Wu Yuchong one after the other, let them pass the easier place on the inside, and then continued to move forward hand in hand.

In front is a pot of springs, its topography is like a cauldron embedded in the mountains, the mountain spring flows into this bend of the blue pool from between the cliffs, the Ju spring is like running Qingfen, the tourist route of the Mianshan Scenic Area is so far back, and then go forward to walk through the obstacles. You Fang and Wu Yuchong are naturally not ordinary tourists, they still seem to roam in the mountains aimlessly at will, and the interesting thing is that Wu Yuchong really doesn't lead the way, just follows You Fang.

Between Qixian Valley and Jiegongling, there is a small road that winds into the deep mountains, and there is a wooden sign at the intersection that reads "Swim... Stop", the original handwriting should be tourists stop or tourists stop, but the paint surface falls off in the wind and sun, and now there are only these three words left. Looking up, the road is intermittently steep, and many places are piling and drilling holes in the rocks with iron chains as handrails, and some places are plank road ladders made of ancient pine branches and iron chains, I don't know how many years it has been.

Wu Yuchong has been very silent, his expression is also faintly thoughtful, and he pointed to this sign and said: "Brother You Fang, you are not allowed to go in, you stop!" ”

You Fang took her and turned around and walked towards the road, and replied lightly, "I'm Melander." ”

The mountain is dangerous but can't stop the footsteps of these two people, passing back and forth in the undulating mountains, I don't know how many wonders and unknown hidden palaces have been admired. Wu Yuchong neither urged the tour nor told him where he was going, but seemed to follow him on his adventure in the mountains, as if he also hoped that the last moment would come as late as possible.

Climb to a platform in the middle of the cliff, the ancient plank road has long since decayed, and there are still unknown purple wildflowers blooming among the hanging vines. In the belly of the mountain behind the platform is a stone shrine Buddhist temple, and along the way they have seen more than one such monument, some of which are in decay, and some of which are still well preserved.

The two of them walked into this hidden cliff stone niche, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes and open their mouths slightly, with a look of admiration. The statues here are truly ingenious and beautiful! The Buddha shrine is dedicated to Wei Daotian, a symbol of the god of demon subjugation in Buddhism, but it is not like the hideous non-human figure in the general temple, it is completely a powerful and handsome man, the facial lines are cold and smooth, the eyes are resolute and firm, and even the texture of the armor is so expressive.

Beside the mighty and resolute Wei Daotian, there is actually a beautiful and gentle statue of the goddess of heaven, but the statue of the god standing quietly is full of movement, she is not standing upright, as if she has just approached Wei Daotian from afar, just at this time to turn around and gaze, her slender waist is slightly twisted as if she is shaking gently. The statue is decorated with colorful paintings, and the color is still there after a thousand years, and the texture of the soft clothes and skin is real in the spiritual consciousness.

It is a statue of a spirituality that has been opened, but looking at the traces around it, no one has been here for at least hundreds of years. Wu Yuchong asked in a low voice: "I know Wei Daotian, but why is there a celestial girl next to me?" Who is she, the handwriting under the altar is a little unclear, does my brother know her? ”

You Fang: "The word should be Parjorama, but I haven't heard of it, it must be the name of this celestial maiden, but I don't know what the relationship between her and Wei Daotian is, why would someone put their idols together?" ”

After the two left this cliff niche, they climbed upwards, occasionally grabbing the iron chain hidden between the cliffs of unknown age to borrow strength, and when they reached the top of this mountain, Wu Yuchong suddenly sighed inexplicably.

You Fang asked quietly: "You and I can get today's tour, which is very human beings, it is the luck of this life, Yuchong, why do you sigh?" ”

Wu Yuchong: "I didn't say where I was going, but my brother seems to know where to go, and he is getting closer and closer in this mountain, is it God's will?" ”

You Fang replied with a sigh: "Are you talking about where the Inner Hall of the Ancient Inheritance of the Wuchong Sect is located?" Talking about the will of heaven and man-made, it is a cultivation cave for manifesting real people. I went into the mountains to search for the relics of the ancestors of the past dynasties, like looking for the magic of the mountains in the feng shui recipe, so I walked such a road. Yuchong, when you enter Mianshan, do you know why you came here and where you are going? ”

Wu Yuchong brushed his hair and twisted his head, as if he didn't want to say more, and changed the topic: "Seeing so many hidden ruins in this mountain is extremely wonderful, which makes me think of Angkor." I used to want to learn about Buddhist statues, but my grandmother also said that I don't have to deliberately learn in the classroom, and it may be more touching to study and experience it from another perspective.

After the Spring Festival last year, I wanted to go to Angkor Wat to see, but because of the war between Cambodia and Thailand, I couldn't make the trip. ”

You Fang: "Fortunately, this has survived for thousands of years without disturbance." I once saw a bluestone Bodhisattva statue in Panjiayuan in Beijing, the traces of painting still exist, life-size, the clothes are as thin as gauze Yingluo, the carving is extremely exquisite, look at the traces of the back and the base, it was carved down from the stone niche on the mountain wall, and it was only sold for 50,000 yuan when it was transported to Panjiayuan. I didn't have that much money to buy it, and there were people next to me who wanted to buy it, but they didn't think there was a place to put it at home.

Today suddenly recalled, only to know that the Buddha statue was stolen from the mountain, on the way to see a half-decayed ancient temple in the traces of the Buddha statue was chiseled, next to two sitting Buddha was chiseled and scattered there, although the place is hidden but not too difficult, there are thieves and excavators have been. Yu Chong, this is the good thing that your Wuchong faction has done, is this what you want in your heart? ”

Wu Yuchong's tone seemed to be explaining, but he seemed a little lacking in confidence: "What you saw in Panjiayuan, how can you conclude that it was done by the Wuchong faction?" And I only know two masters and Tang Banxiu in the Wuchong Sect, and I have no Chong secret method inheritance, these things have nothing to do with me, and I will definitely not do them. ”

You Fang's tone finally became a little cold: "Is it really irrelevant to you?" Since you have inherited the Wuchong Sect, this is your responsibility and burden, if I hadn't inherited the inheritance of the Earth Qi Sect, how could I have what I have today, isn't this also what I have to face? What I saw was not done by you, and it may not be done by the Wuchong faction, but don't forget what Pan Qiaomu and Li Qiuping have done? Who is behind the scenes directing them to do this! And why did your grandfather go? ”

ps: I realized after being reminded by a book friend, unconsciously, today happens to be the first anniversary of the opening of "Earth Master", and I sigh with emotion, thank you readers for your long-term support and encouragement! v！ ~！
