Chapter 70: The Legend of Gaxian Cave

"You, are you really going to lock me up in this little bottle?" Beard asked as he stepped back.

"Come in, the sun is so big outside, if you just go out like this, you'll be gone. Come on, come on! "I approached the beard with a glass bottle.

"Okay, then." The beard said reluctantly, and then rolled his eyes into the glass bottle.

"It's a nuisance." I nagged. The door to the room was closed.

"Master, how long do we have to get to Daxinganling?" Ma Xiao asked.

"Well, at this rate, it will take half a day." The driver said with a smile.

"What more than half a day? It's been too long! It's boring. Zhao Yicheng complained.

"Let's tell a joke." He Jing asked, with wide eyes.

"I'm the best at telling jokes! I'll tell you one! Zhou Wen said to us positively, and his enthusiasm immediately aroused our interest. We all looked at him earnestly, waiting for the joke he would tell.

"That's right, in Tsinghua University, there was a very ugly-looking person, one day, a very, very beautiful student asked him, "Senior, do you have a girlfriend?" ”。 When the man heard this, he thought that the senior sister was hinting at something, and then replied truthfully: "No." "Who knew that the school girl was happy after listening to it! Picked up the skirt, turned around in place, and asked, "Senior, is it beautiful?" The man's heart immediately raced, and he nodded wildly and said, "Pretty, pretty." You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen! "Guess what's the next sentence of that schoolgirl?" Zhou Wen asked.

"He said, "Then we're together?" He Jing asked suspiciously.

Zhou Wen shook his head.

"She said, you're also the most handsome boy I've ever seen?" Li Yingying asked curiously.

Zhou Wen still shook his head.

"Haha, I'll tell you. The school girl said, "This dress was given to me by my boyfriend!" "Hahaha, you see, the senior sister asked her if her skirt looked good, and the senior wanted to be crooked, how embarrassing! Hahahaha, happy me. Zhou Wen was there and laughed wildly.

A few of us, you look at me, I look at you. Cut a sound, and was suddenly discouraged by his cold jokes.

"Isn't it funny?" Zhou Wen asked suspiciously. I gave him a disdainful look and said nothing. Zhou Wen scratched his head in embarrassment.

As soon as I turned my head, a burst of laughter came out! "Hahaha, oops! Why do thieves tease people! ”

As soon as I heard the voice, I recognized it as the voice of the man's beard. I picked up the bottle from my bag and asked him, "What?" Do you think it's funny? ”

"Enna. How funny! Beard seemed to reply excitedly.

"Hehe, can you tell us a joke then?" I asked him.

"Well, we don't have any jokes, but I can tell you about the legend of the Great Khing'an Mountains. I don't know if you want to hear it. The beard said solemnly.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Ma Xiao said. Not only Ma Xiao, but even those of us are interested!

"The legend is like this......" Beard began to tell the legend of the Great Khing'an Mountains.

Fifty kilometers northwest of Jiagedaqi District, the capital of today's Great Khing'an Mountains, there is a cave called Gaxian Cave. The hole is more than 20 meters high, more than 20 meters wide, more than 90 meters deep, and the entrance of the cave is in the middle of the mountainside.

In July 1980, the stone cave was discovered by archaeologists and identified as the old ruin stone chamber of the ancestors of Tuoba Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Tuoba Xianbei once established the Northern Wei regime in Pingcheng (now Datong City) in 386~534 AD. In 443 A.D., Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty sent the minister Li Chang to worship the ancestors in the stone room, the ancestor worship blessing text is engraved on the stone wall on the left side of 15 meters away from the entrance of the cave, the height is level with the line of sight, the vertical book is 19 lines and 201 words, it is the Chinese character official book, and the handwriting is still clear and legible. This discovery was a major discovery that shocked people at home and abroad at that time.

Gaxian Cave is not only the old ruin stone room of the ancestors of Tuoba Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also has a beautiful and moving legend.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, the area around Gaxian Cave was still a dense primeval forest. Whenever spring comes, it will be full of wildflowers, a great spring; Whenever you come here in summer, it will be covered with pine and sun, full of life; Whenever autumn comes, there will be wild fruits all over the mountain, and a piece of autumn gold; When you come here in winter, it will be covered with snow and covered in silver. Not only are the mountains and rivers beautiful, but there are also many wild animals, and the Oroqen people, who have lived by hunting for generations, have lived a happy and peaceful life on this land. But one day, a tall, hideous-looking man named "Mangai" ("Mangai" is the Oroqen language, meaning "demon") broke into the place. It lives in a cave on the mountainside, and whenever it sees a hunter entering the forest, it opens its bloody mouth and eats it. In order to get rid of this man-eating demon Mangai, the brave Oroqen hunters organized and went up the mountain to fight it many times, but they were repeatedly defeated due to Mangai's strength and witchcraft. The Oroqen hunters did not lose their fighting spirit or confidence, and they have been fighting against the demon Mangai for many years. The indomitable fighting spirit of the Oroqen hunters and the spirit of unity against the enemy finally moved the heavenly Gaxian, who wanted to come to the world to help the Oroqen hunters. Gaxian found Man Gai to compete with him, and proposed that if Man Gai lost, he should leave here forever, and Man Gai agreed with his own strength and strength. They are the first to throw stones, and the one who throws far wins. So they threw the boulder that blocked the door of the cave, and Mangai came first, and with all his strength, he threw the boulder only at the edge of the river Gan. When it was Gaxian's turn, he held up the boulder with his right hand and threw it with all his might, and the boulder crossed the Gan River and landed steadily on a mountain on the opposite bank. Man Gai did not admit defeat, and proposed to try archery, so he shot the boulder that had just been thrown across the river, and the one who shot accurately won, and the brave Gaxian agreed. The archery still came first, but I saw it take the arrow and draw the bow and aim again and again, and the arrow that shot out grazed the edge of the boulder, and only a few small stones fell and rolled down the mountain. Filled with confidence and courage, Gaxian took the arrow, drew his bow, and shot the arrow right in the center of the boulder, piercing the center of the boulder through a hole as large as a wheel. This time the demon was really scared, and it had to give in and flee. Since then, the hunters of Oroqen have started a happy life in the dense forests of the mountains and mountains of the Great Khing'an Mountains again.

In order to commemorate the hero Gaxian who eliminated the demons for the Oroqen hunters, people renamed the cave where the demons lived as Gaxian Cave, the small river in front of the cave as Gaxian River, and named the mountain with holes on the big stones as Cave Mountain (Cave Mountain is on the south bank of the Gan River, and on the way to Gaxian Cave, people can see that the boulder with a hole on the top of the mountain is still standing there).

"Okay, this is the legend of our Great Xing'an Ridge Gaxian Cave. It's a lot of people! Beard asked.

To be honest, we really listened to it with relish, and our whole body was brought into the scene of the competition between Gaxian and Mangai!

A few of us nodded.

"Haha, we are authentic and born and raised in Daxinganling. Therefore, we are born as people of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and we must be ghosts of the Great Khing'an Mountains when we die! Beard said with a smile.

In short, there is nothing to remember about the time in the car, and after we listened to the legend of Gaxian Cave, we fell asleep on the back of the chair with each other lying upside down. When I woke up, I only felt the driver pat my arm, and I rubbed my eyes dimly as I heard him speak

"Several, it's here!"
