Chapter 15: Qimen

Shen Feiyang was victorious. He said goodbye to Bai Yunsuo.

Shen Feiyang strode down the mountain.

After descending Mount Emei and coming to a fork in the road, Shen Feiyang didn't know where he was going, where did this fungus go?

Do you want to go back to the Snow Mountain? There is no one in the Snow Mountain now; Do you want to go back to the Tianshan Mountain? The master sent himself to the Snow Mountain in the hope that he could carry forward the Snow Mountain School. No matter what the road ahead looks like, you have to go alone, what will be waiting for you?

Who can say clearly? Put the fungus aside, if you look for it now, it will be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and I believe that one day we will find him, but now we have no clue and don't know where he is; we should first look for the poisonous needle with a little clue, but this makes it difficult for him again, whether to go to Qimen first, or to Tangmen first? It is all in southern Sichuan.

He simply found a rock and sat down. I was playing with stones in my hand and thinking about what to do next. After playing for a while, his irritable mood finally calmed down a little, and he simply grabbed the turtle and decided: find a small stone slab with a large palm, rough on one side and smooth on the other, throw it into the air vigorously, and if you fall off the smooth surface, you will go to Qimen in Shuzhong, and if you go to Tangmen in Sichuan, otherwise, you will go to Tangmen in Sichuan.

He threw the slate upwards hard, and the slate fell down, just on a clump of grass, and when he looked at it, the smooth surface was on it, and then he went to Qimen in Shuzhong. He felt much more relaxed about making this decision.

After going down to Emei Mountain, to Qimen in Shuzhong, in order not to be noticed by others on the road, so as not to cause misunderstanding by others, he went to the market to buy a set of white clothes to wear, dressed up slightly, and a handsome young man appeared in front of everyone. Shuzhong Qimen is in a primeval forest in Gulin, Luzhou, Sichuan, and has to pass through Dujiangyan.

The famous ancient water conservancy project Dujiangyan is located in the west of Dujiangyan City, Sichuan, and Dujiangyan is known as the "treasure of Zhenchuan" after the Song and Yuan dynasties.

This historical project is mainly composed of three main projects: fish mouth, flying sand weir and treasure bottle mouth. Two thousand years ago, Li Bing and his son faced the unruly Minjiang River, and the fire attacked the jade base and turned into a pile. The water diversion of the Yuzui embankment, the overflow of the flying sand weir and the diversion of water from the mouth of the treasure bottle have turned the Xishu Plain, which is flooded every time it rains, into a country of abundance where water and drought are subordinate to people and do not know hunger.

The project is still in play today and is known as the "Living Water Museum". It is the world's oldest and only surviving grand water conservancy project characterized by the diversion of water without a dam.

Dujiangyan is matched with the green and quiet of Qingcheng Mountain, and the water is integrated with the surrounding mountains, forests, and rock springs.

The unique geographical conditions and ecological environment have created natural landscapes such as Lidusuo Gorge, Jindi Sunset, Xiongguan Ancient Road, Yulei Xiandu, Hantan Fulong, Diqiao Feihong, Jade Maiden Xianzi, Minshan Xiaoxue, Treasure Vase Chunxiao, etc., and the ancient buildings such as Erwang Temple, Fulong Temple, Anlan Rope Bridge, Chenghuang Temple, etc., have formed a unique scenery of mountain, water, city, forest, weir and bridge.

It has become an eternal wonder of the harmonious integration of nature and culture, human beings and the environment, water conservancy projects and landscapes, and the unity of nature and man. There is a poem as proof:

Since ancient times, Qingcheng has been quiet in the world, and Li Bing is too guarded to relieve people's worries.

The treasure bottle spits water and the sky is not in a hurry, and the river sand flies to build high-rise buildings.

Thousands of miles of plains become fertile soil, and the fish's mouth is happy to divide the water.

The dragon finally bows down, and the country of abundance is rich.

Faced with this scene, Shen Feiyang really couldn't take a step forward, so he decided to go again for a day. During this period, by the way, I found the address to Qimen in Shuzhong in detail.

According to the found address, within a few days, I arrived at the location of Qimen in Shuzhong - Huangjing Old Forest, Gulin, Sichuan.

Located at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, Sichuan Gulin Huangjing Old Forest belongs to the Chishui River Basin in the transition zone from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Sichuan Basin.

With an area of 433 square kilometers, a forest coverage rate of more than 96 percent, and an average altitude of more than 1,300 meters, it is a typical Cretaceous red sandstone mountain valley Danxia landform area, and it is also the only well-preserved subtropical primitive evergreen broad-leaved forest area at the same latitude (28 °C north latitude) on the earth.

Qing Guangxu Liang Chunhua once came here, lived for a long time, was reluctant to leave, frequently turned back, and left a poem after:

Split the eight-section hole, fly out of the ten thousand mountains, the clouds swallow the edge of the day, and the sound of the spring resounds. Fenghou has been a guest for ten years, and he has tasted all the hardships and dangers, which is as idle as Lin He.

Liang Chunhua canceled it in reluctance to set off for the first time, and after playing for a few days, he inscribed a poem on the wall: the flying spring of the absolute gully flows on the dark wall, the strange peaks and mountains amuse the cold smoke, and the snow disappears at the mouth of the cave and the clouds open, and it is believed that there is no other heaven in the world. It took a while like this before I left here.

This is one of the few man-made scenery on earth, and this is the real virgin land.

The main scenic spots are: the Bajiedong Waterfall Group is located in the Bajiedong Scenic Area in the northwest corner of Huangjing, from the upper Bajiedong Waterfall Group and the Sanhuali River section, the Python River water breaks through the peak, as if flowing out from a hole, the rapids are falling, rushing into the Bajie Dangerous Beach, forming the eight-level waterfall, so it is called the Bajiedong, the total drop reaches 120 meters. The mountain is alive and alive, the water is secluded because of the mountain, it can be said that the Bajiedong Waterfall is the finishing touch of the Huangjing Tourist Scenic Area.

The eight waterfalls are: the first section of the Black Dragon Pond Waterfall, the waterfall rushes straight down from the peak mouth of more than 100 meters high, there is a boulder in the semi-middle waist such as a crutch fairy, deliberately stop the white practice that flies down, the water girl who floats down is angry, she splashes the water in her arms, after the summer rain, the rainbow lies horizontally, the water girl runs and jumps between the rainbows, laughs, and finally jumps into the deep pool.

In the second section, the Dolomite Waterfall, the water flows from the platform about 20 meters wide at the height, fluttering and sprinkling, ethereal and beautiful; in the third section, the Mimosa Waterfall flows down from one side of the platform about 10 meters wide, flows to the middle, and then shifts to the other side, and becomes wider when it is about to be injected below, like a girl with affection, still holding the pipa and half covering her face;

In the fourth section of the Lover's Waterfall, the water flows from the previous beach to the next, at the drop, that is, the starting point of the first waterfall flow, the water is divided into two, like the two heads of men and women close together, and quickly separated, flowing to the middle of the high cliff, and the water gathers, such as the knees of male and female lovers close together, just as lovers are hugging in legend, hence the name Lover's Waterfall;

The fifth section of the big whirlpool waterfall, the drop is not high here, but the water flow is offset in one direction together, flowing out of a deeper ditch, forming a huge whirlpool; Pearl Beach Waterfall, connected by sections, cascading down, is a three-level beach waterfall, flows to the last level, the water potential slows down, the water surface expands, although the drop is not high, but the water passes through the uneven mountain rock, the water splash is divided into thousands of points, the summer sun shines past, the light reflected by the water splash and the water splash reflect each other, the splashing water splash is like a grain of pearl, so it is called Pearl Beach Waterfall.

Huanyan, 15 kilometers away from Huangjing Township, is a major landscape of Huangjing Scenic Area, integrating secluded, strange, dangerous and beautiful. People who have never been to the five mountains, as long as they have been to the Huangjing old forest ring rock in Gulin, it is equivalent to enjoying the scenery of four of them. When you go to Huanyan, you can't help but have a glimpse of the scenery of Huanyan Desperate Valley. Ring rock, precipice, surround the surroundings, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley drop up to 400 meters, the surrounding is high and steep, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the stream flows horizontally, the waterfall is like a fall.

After the rain in the morning, standing on the ancient road made of rock, you can enjoy the sunrise camel peak, the fog around the Lion Rock and other landscapes. The most striking thing is the Longmatan Waterfall, the waterfall pours down from the broken rock cliff of nearly 100 meters high during the flood period, the roar can be heard several miles away, the flying spring is like a silk silver waterfall when the water is dry, like a light gauze hanging curtain.

Huanyan Desperate Valley and Guizhou Tucheng junction of the small acacia scenic spot meet, that is simply a perfect match in the world, the primeval forest vegetation is more dense, the wonders are numerous and unique, Danyan cliffs, huge gull holes, light gauze waterfalls, trickles, towering ancient trees, wild animals constitute a fascinating fairyland on earth.

Honglong Lake is composed of six lakes of different sizes, surrounded by mountains, closely connected with the old forest of Huangjing, and the geological rock layer is the Danxia landform of Zhongshan Canyon composed of Cretaceous red sandstone. The Honglong Lake Scenic Area covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers, with the largest Honglong Lake as the main area, followed by six lakes of different sizes, such as Yue'er Lake, Qinwa Lake and Weiba Well.

And where is the Qimen Courtyard located? This mysterious place famous for the rivers and lakes is located on the highest peak of the Huangjing Old Forest, the Sunzi Mountain.

The bamboo shoot mountain with an altitude of more than 1,700 meters, the mountain is majestic, the clouds stand tall, the four fields are open, you can observe the sunrise and morning glow on the mountain to the east, you can look at the sea of clouds, the sunset, the sunset, the reckless mountains have a panoramic view, there is a great feeling: climb the bamboo shoot mountain, and see the feeling of the small mountains at a glance. Stop and stop, you can watch the scenery, you can enjoy the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, cicadas and beasts.

There are poems: the bamboo shoots are high and the scenery is good, and the parking looks at the sunset in the west. Mountains and clouds are surging, and I love fragrant wildflowers. Wild beasts are infested in the forest, there are many varieties of Chinese medicinal materials, and animal and plant resources are very rich. When the poet of the Qing Dynasty climbed the bamboo shoot mountain, he sighed: The big rock is far away, not only the mountains are high and the water is also high, who lives in Baiyun Township, and the smoke and rain help to chant for half a day.

It is said that Shen Feiyang went to the ancient Lin Huangjing Old Forest in Sichuan, and was completely fascinated by the scenery here.

On the first day of Huangjing Old Forest, as soon as I walked to the streets of Huangjing Township, my eyes were not fully opened, and my nose was attracted by the food on the street.

In the small restaurant, the bacon smoked by the mountain people and the alpine wild mushrooms are fried out, the original mountain taste can be felt five miles away, the bamboo shoots are stewed with pheasant, and the red and clear sour bayberry wine on the counter is clear and transparent, which makes people's throat itch.

All this is enough to make people forget everything temporarily. Order a few dishes, warm a pot of wine, and have a good time first, and Shen Feiyang got drunk in the hostel of Huangjing Laolin that night. He slept until noon the next day, when the strength of the wine had passed, and he regained his spirits.

After a casual lunch, he first went to the street to inquire about the location of Qimen in Shuzhong. When I looked up, there happened to be a "Huangjing Lao Lin Qi's Native Products" store next to it.

Walking in, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl greeted warmly, and when she asked, she knew that this girl was surnamed Qi, and she talked to her, the girl said that her name was Qi Yingchun, there are not many people with the surname Qi here, there are more than ten on the street, and her family does not have a name on the rivers and lakes.

And the house that Shen Feiyang is looking for is not on the street, it is still more than twenty miles away from here, on the highest peak on the other side of the mountain, and that peak is Sunzi Mountain.

To go up to Sunzi Mountain, first pass the Bajie Cave, bypass the Red Dragon Lake, climb up the Huanyan Desperate Valley, pass a mountain gate, there are four words on the mountain gate "Shuzhong Qimen", and then go up about 200 meters to arrive.

Shuzhong Qimen, was founded by Qi Yingtian at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now has a history of more than 300,000 years, the method of poisoning the Tang Gate in Sichuan is to pass on women not to men, but Shuzhong Qimen is different in this regard, it is both men and women;

For this reason, the Qimen in Shuzhong is not as famous as the Tang Gate in Sichuan; in addition, the poison used by the Tang Gate in Sichuan is mainly to poison people's internal organs, and the way of poison is omnipresent, while the main purpose of Qimen in Shuzhong is not to take people's lives, but to anesthetize, so that people lose their ability to resist, that is, to cut off or destroy people's nerve centers.

In this generation, the head is Qi Tianma, and he has six children under his knees, four sons are named Qi Yiping, Qi Yifan, Qi Yiyan, and Qi Yixing, and two daughters are named Qi Chunlan and Qi Qiulan. Qi Chunlan is the oldest, already in her sixties, Qi Qiulan is the youngest, also forty years old, the two daughters are already married, they do not live in the Qi family, one is married to Sichuan, and the other is married to Guizhou.

Shuzhong Qimen, like the Tangmen of Sichuan, in addition to being able to poison all objects and places, they also have a poison stunt, that is, the poison is burned on the small plum blossom needle, and when the plum blossom needle is issued, it specializes in people's numb points, making all the muscles of people unable to exert force.

At this point, especially the head of Qi Tianma's grasp of the opponent's acupoints is simply to the point of reaching the peak, a finger, pointing to that and that, a hundred shots, as if hitting the enemy's knee numb points as a strange accuracy, within 30 meters of a finger, two small plum blossom needles can accurately shoot into the opponent's knee numbness, so that the enemy's feet are numb, and then kneel down, so there is a rumor in the rivers and lakes: "Qimen embroidery needle, please kneel." ”

Legend has it that when Qi Tianma was in his thirties, one year, twelve gangsters went to steal the gastrodia and other medicinal herbs he planted in the bamboo shoots mountain, he heard the workers who managed the medicinal materials come to report, and chased up the mountain alone, and seven thieves were still in the ground.

Before the seven thieves knew what was going on, their feet were hit in the knees by the stones they had just thrown, and they were basically kneeling in the field where gastrodia was planted at the same time. Qi Tianma looked up and saw that five thieves were about to climb over the mountain beam, and two of them rose and fell, catching up.

The five thieves threw down the stolen things and pounced on him condescendingly, Qi Tianma raised his right hand in the process of these five people pounced, and the five people did not make any offensive movements to him when they came down, but as if admitting their mistakes to him, they knelt in front of him in a row. It turned out that the moment these five people pounced, Qi Tianma's right hand had already shot five tiny plum blossom needles into the left and right knee holes of the five thieves.

As soon as the five of them pounced, they had no strength in their legs, and they couldn't even stand, so they could only kneel in front of him. Later, he called the twelve thieves to his home, educated them, took out the plum blossom needle, and let the twelve people eat a meal before leaving.

It is said that after Shen Feiyang asked the location of Qimen in Shuzhong, according to the route pointed out by Qi Yingchun, as the visitors passed the Bajie Cave, bypassed the Honglong Lake, and then walked more than two miles to the uninhabited mountains, and walked to a narrow valley, the wildflowers in the valley were in full bloom, and walked along the path between the flowers for a while, but could not find the way, in front of a wall of steep rocks, standing at the bottom of the valley and looking up, only a line of sky could be seen, and the sky seemed to be on the steep cliff.

Looking at it, I can't find the way at all, as Li Bai wrote: "The difficulty of the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, and it can cross the top of Emei." The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb. He sat on his back and sighed with his hands. The road is daunting and the rock is unclimbable. Even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dead pines hang upside down against the cliffs. Seeing such a steep and difficult cliff, Shen Feiyang also sighed: "Huanyan Desperate Valley, if it is not really ruthless, how can there be no way to climb?"

Of course, he did not give up, and walked more than 50 meters to the left, and found that there was a rock about five meters high, and there was a line of footprints on this rock, each of which was just enough to put down one foot.

There is a thick vine on this rock, and the vine has been artificially made into the shape of a swing, and the vine is very smooth, as if there are traces of human and animal activity. He grabbed the mountain vine with both hands, swung upward, and his body went up to a platform that could accommodate three people to stand, and as soon as he reached the platform, a sheep intestine path appeared in front of him.

Follow this oblique sheep intestine path, climb up, walk about two thousand meters, there is actually a pavilion, on the left side of the pavilion, there is a memorial arch, one side is to lean the wood on the rock on the left, the other side is built with wood support, the wood used on this side is very wide and thick, there are a few lines of words in the middle of the wooden pillar on the right: outsiders do not enter, there is something to enter, please knock on the wooden pillar, three times must return.

This memorial arch is all made of wood, there are four big characters on it: "Shuzhong Qimen", under the archway is a wooden door, it is not locked from the outside, but the door is closed. Seeing this, Shen Feiyang certainly didn't dare to break in, otherwise he might be poisoned. He rested in the pavilion for a while, then stood up and slapped the wooden pillar three times with his right hand, and the wooden pillar made an unusual noise, and felt that it was empty, and he was curious.

After a while, a human voice was heard in the rock, and only the voice of a girl was heard:

"Eldest sister, no one has been here for more than two years, this time, how many people do you guess will come?"

"I don't care how many people he comes, but be careful anyway. Then I also ask you, guess what, if it's a person who comes, is it a man or a woman?"

"I guess it's going to be a man, and a woman has the guts. ”

"Then guess again, if it's a man, is he tall or short?

"If I don't tell you this, it's already here, so I'm not afraid that people will hear us talk and laugh at the two of us?"

Shen Feiyang was stunned. With a "squeak", the door opened, and Shen Feiyang saw two girls walking out from behind the rocks.

In the front was a girl in red clothes, eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face, and a shallow dimple on the left side of her face, and behind her was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, dressed in green, holding two wild flowers in her right hand, which kept shaking in her hands. As soon as the two girls walked out, they saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in front of them, especially a girl in front of them, and their faces turned red for a moment.

It seems that what they thought they just said was heard by a stranger, not to mention that it was a strange man who heard it, and they were a little embarrassed, how could they not be ashamed?

"Were you calling the door? Which one are you? What's the matter with you?"

Shen Feiyang only cared about watching people go, and no one heard what people said.

"Hey, who are you, what are you doing?" the girl who walked in front raised her voice.

Shen Feiyang came back to his senses:

"Two girls asked me?"

"Didn't ask you, which one to ask? Didn't you knock on the door just now?" The two girls laughed when they heard Shen Feiyang's inexplicable words, is there anyone else here, not to ask you, who else can ask.

"I, my name is Shen Feiyang, and I came to find you Shuzhong Qimen for something. ”

"Then please hit the road. Don't move or talk on the road. Don't blame us for the loss. ”

Shen Feiyang got up and followed the two girls. Can you ask the truth of the matter this time, I want to know what happens next, and see the next breakdown.
