Chapter 1: Longyin Ridge

On December 6, 2012, we boarded the plane and went straight to Nanchang, Jiangxi.

Jiangxi, referred to as Jiangxi, also known as the land of Jiangxi, is the "land of fish and rice" in the south of the Yangtze River, and in ancient times it had the title of "Wu Tou Chu Wei, Guangdong Hu Min Ting".

The history of the land of Jiangxi, tracing back to the top, has risen from the Xia and Shang periods, when the local bronze culture was very prosperous, and later Han Gaozu set up Yuzhang County, the county governed Nanchang County, and the name of Nanchang has been used to this day, becoming the central city of Jiangxi Province.

Since we have no specific information about the geographical location of Yumen, we will fly directly to Nanchang City this time, according to Zhou Xuanye, first go to Nanchang to wait for the news from Tan Jian's side, and come to an employee tour by the way.

It's December, and you've missed the peak of your visit, and the major attractions aren't as crowded as they are on holiday. The most famous attractions in Jiangxi are the Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Jingdezhen and Poyang Lake.

Jingdezhen is known as the porcelain capital, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancients built a kiln here, passed down from generation to generation, from the folk kiln to the official kiln, and returned to the folk kiln, Jingdezhen's porcelain has a long history, unique, well-known at home and abroad, and now it has become a major porcelain industry base in the country, and the antique porcelain industry born from this is also very lively.

And Sanqing Mountain, also known as Shaohua Mountain, because the three shapes resemble the Taoist Shangqing Yuqing Taiqing and get the name, the mountain rises from the ground, stands on a high place and looks, the mountain peak is hidden from time to time, the clouds and mist are erratic, just like the fairyland on earth.

Longhu Mountain, is the birthplace of the Heavenly Master Dao, according to legend, the founder of Taoism Zhang Daoling in this alchemy, Dancheng time and space in the shape of the dragon and tiger, so named Longhu Mountain, after Zhang Tianshi in the Longhu Mountain to open a sect, founded the Zhengyi, and Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen Dao, became the two major factions of Taoism.

In the process of waiting for Tan Jian's news, we traveled around as planned in advance, and took a look at these famous scenic spots, and after a delay, it was more than ten days, and in the process, we did not receive any news from Tan Jian.

I'm a little anxious, although I don't know the specific location of Sanziguan, but it must be in Xiangxi, more than ten days, it's enough for Tan Jian to go back and forth, why now, but I don't even have a phone?

Zhou Xuanye explained that Sanziguan is located in a remote area, although many temples are now connected to telecommunications and the Internet, but Sanziguan has a traditional style and advocates quiet and inaction, so he has lived a very traditional life so far, and he does not even use a telephone.

There was a period of time when it was through the phone and the Internet, but in the end, it was all emptied.

Tan Jian went back to the door, naturally it was impossible to go and leave, and it was inevitable that there would be other things involved, so this result was also expected. Zhou Xuanye signaled us to be restless, since we came out to play, we should enjoy it for a few days with peace of mind.

When he said this, I didn't have any other scruples, and the three of them traveled around for more than ten days. Sometimes the clouds and mist of the fairy mountain and the white cranes chirp together, sometimes see the incense around, listen to the ancient view of the bell, sometimes walk into the crowd, and the surrounding lively flow of people into one, the unique humanities and beautiful environment, make people linger, only feel that time flies.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and finally, in the afternoon of the same day, we received a text message from Tan Jian: Flying Sword Pond and Longyin Ridge converge.

Flying Sword Pool? Longyinling?

The name sounds like a fairy tale movie. Zhang Daoling founded Zhengyi in Longhu Mountain, so Jiangxi, is also the birthplace of Taoism, the entire Jiangxi area, there are many related relics and place names, from those place names, you can see the ancients at that time for the Taoist understanding of the Taoists.

Flying Sword Pond is now a township, local legend, once there was a sword fairy in the mountain when the sword flew over here, I don't know what reason fell down, the flying sword crossed, cut a mountain in half, the low-lying land in the middle, it formed a very large pool, so there is an allusion to Flying Sword Pond.

Of course, these are some folk fairy tales, and there are countless stories like this, especially in Jiangxi, Sichuan and other places, the stories of swordsmen and sword fairies are spread very widely, just because these places were once the prosperous places of ancient Taoism, and now the pomp is no longer there, leaving only many fascinating legends.

As for Longyinling, we don't know very well, after all, Gandi is so big, except for some more well-known places, who can know the rest?

Zhou Xuanye immediately checked the map, and soon found the place of Longyin Ridge. It is located in the east of the Flying Sword Pond area, which is a mountain range. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a river under the mountain, and there was a green dragon living in the river, and the clouds and rain were used to benefit one party, and from time to time, the sound of the dragon's groan would be heard in the river.

Whether this legend is true or not is impossible to verify, at least for now, there is no big river under the Longyin Mountains.

Tan Jian invited us to this place to meet, and it seemed that we had eyebrows. At that moment, we changed to Yichun, then changed to a bus and headed towards Feijian Pond. This place is mountainous, and the buses shuttle between the winding mountain roads, and from time to time there is a big turn, which can really startle people into a cold sweat.

Since it was winter, there were no outsiders, and most of the people on the buses were local people, and some of them were carrying some souvenirs in snakeskin bags. The windows were fogged with cold, making everything look blurry, and with your hands, you could see clumps of snow in the trees and grass through the windows.

I am a native of Shenzhen, out of the welfare home, and have been working in Shenzhen, to be honest, except on TV, I really saw snow for the first time in my life, and I was reluctant to take my eyes off it. Tang Linlin laughed and said, "Look at your unproductive appearance, it snows in our hometown every year." ”

I thought of Tang Linlin's good skills, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Where is your hometown?" Do all of you know kung fu? ”

Tang Linlin smiled: "Want to know?" I won't tell you, but if you marry me, cook me food every day, and buy me beautiful clothes, I can think about it. ”

I said, "What are you dreaming about?" ”

"Every day you change, you weren't like this before, you were so good when you first came, you listened to everything I said, why are you always against me now? Why do I think you and Tan Jian are becoming more and more alike? Will the less poisonous tongue die, will it die? Will it die? Will it die? ”

"Yes."

“…………”

In the midst of the noise, the bus stopped at the intersection of the teeth, and an old-fashioned road paved with concrete and cracks appeared in front of everyone. The bus driver probably saw that we were coming for the first time and kindly reminded us: "Follow this road." ”

"Thank you, big brother, driver." Tang Linlin carried a bag, looking elated to come out for a winter outing, from time to time from the grass to get a snow ball up and hit me, I was very excited to see the snow for the first time, and this little girl ran all the way to the snowball fight, when I was happy, the beads in my hand suddenly trembled by themselves, and the wooden sign decorated below was dripping and turning, and then, a weak voice came into my ears: "An An also wants to play." ”

I looked at the sky and said, "I'll talk about it in the evening." ”

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and we entered Feilongtan, this town is quite lively, there is only one street, and the street is lined with vendors and households, and it is the meal at this time, and every household is wafting with the smell of food.

My stomach suddenly rumbled, and the three of us immediately found a small restaurant and ordered a few dishes to eat.

There was no business in the winter, and the boss saw that we didn't look like locals, so he chatted with us in Mandarin with a Jiangxi accent: "You look like you're from a big city, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "Big brother, we are going to Longyinling, and I will ask you about it by the way, is there a car from here to Longyinling, and how long will it take?" ”

The boss said; "You can go by tricycle, you can finish eating, find a tricycle, run for more than 40 minutes, but the road is gone, you have to get off the car and walk for more than an hour, you can get to Qiaojia Village before dark." Are you visiting relatives in Qiaojia Village? It was not surprising for him to ask, because the vicinity of Longyinling was already deep in the mountains, and the only residential area around it was Qiaojia Village.

Zhou Xuanye nodded, said yes, and said no more. We had a quick meal and found a tricycle on the side of the road.

As soon as the tricycle drove up, the cold wind blew in the face, and the air was extremely cold, accompanied by a breath of fresh air, and it was not so uncomfortable. After more than half an hour, we got out of the car and started hiking, because we knew the route in advance, it was not difficult to find Qiaojia Village.

All three of us are used to hiking, so when we arrived at Qiaojia Village, it was faster than the boss expected.

Far away at the entrance of the village, I saw a person sitting cross-legged on the big rock at the entrance of the village, wearing a black windbreaker, wearing a pair of piercing white gloves, holding a pair of binoculars and I don't know what I was looking at.

That person is not Tan Jian, and who is it.

I immediately waved at him: "Boss! "I didn't expect this girl to arrive one step ahead of us.

Tan Jian put away the binoculars, jumped down from the stone, and made a gesture to signal us to hurry over.

The four of them gathered together and walked towards the village under the leadership of Tan Jian. This village is not big, typical Jiangxi architectural style, the life of the people in the village does not look very good, the houses still retain the structure of the past, walk into it, there is a feeling of traveling through time and space, the only thing that makes people depressed is that the sanitary environment is too poor, there are a lot of chickens, running around, chicken feathers flying, chicken poop everywhere. If you step on chicken poop carelessly, you will make a chirp.

I looked at the black mask on Tan Jian's face, and immediately understood why he covered himself so tightly.
