There is a mountain village called Hongcun at the foot of the origin of the Tianmu Mountains in the northwest of Zhejiang, which has been telling a legend for generations, there is a cave called Eagle Cave on a cliff in seven or eight miles to the inside, there are countless treasures in the cave, and there is an extremely precious blood Ganoderma lucidum that can prolong life and eliminate all diseases. The people of Hongcun have lived at the foot of this mountain for generations, they collect firewood here, they open up wasteland here, they collect medicine here, and they hunt here. There is a winding path that leads to the depths of the mountain, and on one side of the path is a canyon with a high cliff on top, and the hole in the cliff has always been the eagle's cave that passers-by will inevitably take a closer look at.

No one has ever entered this cave, because it is too high and too dangerous, it is like an eagle's eye and a cliff, and it is always watching the smoke curling at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain people here have passed under it for generations. When I was younger, I fantasized that one day I would climb the cave and tell the world everything about it, and now this fantasy has come true, and the mouth of the cave is full of broken bricks and tiles of all kinds of patterns, and countless dead branches and leaves.

I am a very curious person, such a night, such a group of people let my adrenaline secrete faster, I have a blood in my head, no matter what kind of flood beast is in this cave, the moment I come in I know that it is not destined to be ordinary.

It was some of the broken bricks I knew about that had filled every household in Hongcun decades ago, and the only one in my house was a green brick carved with a unicorn. It was longer and wider than the usual bricks, and when I was a child it was used as a foot pad in my hut, and I don't know how many times I stepped on it over that threshold, until I broke it in two, and the broken brick became a discarded rubble, sometimes in a corner of the back gutter, sometimes in the crack of a fence in the vegetable garden. I once told the fat man that there was a piece of something in my house, and the fat man said that he wanted to see it, and he said that this kind of brick would only come from very old noble tombs, because it was called a dark brick. I don't believe it, the fat man said, if you don't believe it, go back and measure it, and see if it's seven inches long, three inches wide, and three inches thick. Later, I found the two bricks from under the new chicken coop at home, and when I put them back together, they were exactly as the fat man said.

I can't trace the origin of the broken brick, it is said that not only my family, but other people's families have also had, but unfortunately time has passed, these bricks carved with exquisite patterns have long been lost, I have also had a small regret for this, but I never thought that there would be so many entrances to this eagle cave.

Cha Wenbin analyzed that there should have been a building here at one time, which was used for worship or guarding the mausoleum. There is no custom of burial in caves in the northwest of Zhejiang, and this burial method is only more common in the southwest of China, such as the hanging coffin burial method is especially prevalent in the Shu area of Cuba. However, the result of his analysis is that this cave is a tomb, and I personally think that this place is more like a place for cultivation, and I can't help but think of a saying when I was a child, there was an immortal living in this cave.

This cave is naturally formed, the northwest of Zhejiang was the sea in ancient times, the geological structure is stable, there is no karst landform, the Tianmu Mountains are mostly rocky, there are few caves with such a regular shape and deep. There was a foul smell in the cave, a bit like the sour smell of fermented dung, because it was night, I had a miner's lamp in my hand, and I still broke a few branches to make two torches. I thought that these two people belonged to cats, and they didn't need to be lit at all, but later I learned that these two people really didn't need to be lit, and the torches were used for other purposes.

Not long after I walked inside, I felt slimy under my feet, like stepping on cow dung on the soles of my shoes, and the sound of "Kaji, Kaji", the second stayed in front and waved the torch from time to time, shaking it for a while, and suddenly he shouted: "Squat!" ”

I was held down by Cha Wenbin behind me on the shoulder, at this moment I was "wheezing" above my head with a gust of wind blowing, and I heard countless "poof, poof" sounds in my ears in the past, there was a commotion in the air current, Cha Wenbin raised the torch above his head behind me, and the two of them sandwiched me in the middle one after the other, and then I looked up slightly to see clearly, it was a swarm of bats passing overhead, presumably this must be their nest.

There are bats on the top of this head, and there are naturally bat droppings under this foot, and they are black and swarthy one after another, and they can't see the road clearly, this thing is a highly acidic substance, and if it gets on people's skin for a few days, it can fester. There is that kind of mountain bat in the northwest of Zhejiang, which is not big, similar to swallows, and has often flown into the house and was caught in the past, but don't underestimate this thing, the teeth and claws of this thing are very sharp, and the bat is also a carrier of another deadly bacterium rabies, I would rather be bitten by a snake than be touched by this thing.

This hole is really not small, and after walking into it for more than 20 meters, some bottles and cans of things began to appear. I looked at those jars and felt familiar, all of them looked like kimchi jars, with complete or incomplete talismans pasted on them, this was not the kind of ash jar found in the water pipe that day!

The jars were neatly arranged on both sides of the cave, three in a row, two in a row, and there was a gap between them, and another jar was placed on top of the gap, which had the advantage of stability, at least so far I have not found any jars that are broken or upside down.

Because there are many people, my courage is also slightly bigger, the second stay in front of me without saying a word, Cha Wenbin behind him does not know what the situation is, there are hundreds of such jars, all the way to the inside, to the end of these altars, the second stay with one hand I immediately squatted down reflexively.

He pointed to his left and said, "This is it, there is a small hole to the left, and there is an old tree in it through this small hole, and there is that thing at the foot of the old tree." ”

Cha Wenbin said behind me: "I smell a lot of anger. ”

Anyway, what I smelled was a smell of feces, and I didn't know what the noses of these two immortals were made of, Ye Qiu took the lead and began to enter the small hole, the width of this hole was enough, but the height had to be lowered a lot. Following behind him and watching Erdu's ass writhing in front of me, I thought to myself, this kid is really sexy, these jeans wrap his buttocks just right, and suddenly I have an urge to go up and pinch it......

"What are you doing!" He suddenly turned around and shouted at me, his voice was small but very harsh, looking at his cannibalistic expression, I laughed again and again: "Mistake, mistake......"

After such a small episode is the arrival of nervousness, this small passage is really short, and I know why the second person is so angry, because he has come to the end, and the place he said makes me feel a little jaw-dropping, I never knew that there was such a magical landform in Hongcun.

I was stunned when my miner's lamp began to sweep around every corner in front of me. Through the path, I saw an open field, a naturally formed prototype hollow cave large enough to fit the village assembly hall. In the middle of this Great Hall rose a large tree, the trunk of which went straight up through the top of the mountain, and I had to marvel at the fact that the tree broke through the top of the mountain, and the trunk fit seamlessly with the small hole in the top of the mountain, and the branches of the tree were even more invisible in the visible part of the hall, as if a pillar was erected from the center of the hall.

Even more powerful, the walls around the cave are round, but the surface of the cave is unbiased and square, as if measured with a ruler. I don't know if it's a masterpiece of nature or the efforts of posterity, but it's no less than a dream trip.

I also noticed that the tree was surrounded by long and square stones, which were very similar in shape to the octagonal wells common in the countryside, and on each of the eight corners there was a black coffin lying quietly, and there was a coffin cover scattered on the ground.

I consciously hid behind Cha Wenbin, his expression was much more complicated than mine, and slowly he said: "None, the beginning of the world; Yes, the mother of all things, it turns out that there are really people in this world who have found such a mysterious place according to the map of the round sky and the place drawn by Chen Jun's ancestor, which is really eye-opening for me. ”

The passage that Cha Wenbin said is also a mystery that the cultivator has been searching for all his life, what is the existence or not? With the changes of history and the change of Daomen, many, many things have long disappeared in the dust of history.

The ancestor of the Northern Song Dynasty generation of the Holy Dao Chen Tuan, also known as Mr. Baiyun, is the Taoist Fuyaozi. This person lived in seclusion with the Mai Taoist. Often traveled between Huashan and Wudang Mountain, and was highly valued by the two emperors of Zhou Shizong and Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. The ancients called the vast universe composed of many stars "heaven", and the land on which they depended for their survival was called "earth", because the sun and moon and other celestial bodies are in endless motion in a circle, like a closed circle with no beginning and no end

Chen Kuan's ancestors thought that movement was yang and stillness was yin, so the "heavenly circle" composed of the sun, moon and stars was yang, and the "place" composed of rivers, mountains and rivers was yin. He took the "place" as the horizon coordinates, and the square refers to the direction or azimuth angle, that is, the son represents the north, the noon represents the south, the unitary represents the west, and the mao represents the east, and uses twelve earthly branches, ten heavenly stems, and four hexagrams to represent the twenty-four directions and construct the whole Zhou Tian into a circle, and called the heaven round local map to speculate on the world's major events, and was given by Song Taizong as the Taoist Confucian Master.
