Chapter 89: Miracles
"Good scroll Zhang Gong is strange in the world!"
Shanjuan Cave and Zhanggong Cave on the two mountains of Luoyan and Yufeng in the southwest of Yixing are known as "the first historic site in the south of the Yangtze River" and "the wonder of the sea".
Among them, the good roll hole is divided into four holes: upper, middle, lower and water, counting three layers. The layers are connected, and the holes are connected, just like a building carved in stone.
After leaving the boat and landing on the shore, the boatman guided the tour all the way, and took Qian and Li to Luoyan Mountain. I heard that there was such a magical place, and I didn't wait for Qian Qingjian to invite him, so I happily followed.
At a large stalagmite more than two feet high, Qian Qingjian sent the boatman back, so to explore the secluded resort, one more cat and dog are in the way, let alone a big living person?
Bypassing the large stalagmites called "Mt. Komeru", you will enter the middle cave of Zenmaki Cave, which according to the boatman is called the "Lion Elephant Hall".
This cave hall is tall, wide, magnificent, and profound. There are green lions on the left side of the cave wall on both sides, and there are white elephants on the right, this pair of green lions and white elephants are made of stalactites, the form is realistic, and it is a wonder.
The rock color of the cave top mountain wall is brocade and beautiful, and there are colors such as blue, white, yellow, and red. There are stalactites and stalagmites, like gems, like pearls, such as ivory, and amber, decorating the green lion and white elephant with majesty and elegance, and showing more spirit and aura.
From there, the path is divided up and down. Go up to the "Cloud Hall" to the upper cave, and down to the lower cave and the water hole.
At this time, it will be late, and there are other visitors lingering in the Shanjuan Cave. And the upper cave because the light is slightly brighter, so visitors go up more. Qian Qingjian didn't like to be with others, so he chose to go down, and Li Mochou naturally followed him.
The lower cave and the water cave are actually a small underground river. The water cave is the downstream section of the river, and the water level is moderately raised, and there is water all year round. The lower cave is the upstream section of the river, and there is a flow of water flowing through it. The lower hole is long and narrow, and there is a waterfall falling.
In the section of the entrance of the cave, the top of the hanging stalactites are upward, and because of the growth of algae and greenish-brown, a boulder is like a screen towering in front of you, in the dim light, you can see the inscription on the top of the "ancient spiritual traces" four words, and the following inscription is "Tang Changqing three years, Zhaoyi Festival makes Li Toad"
About this "eternal miracle", the boatman on the road also has an introduction, according to legend, the Zhaoyi Festival of the Tang Dynasty made Li Chan once choose the Bixian Nunnery near the good roll cave to study, one morning up, see a white dragon swimming out of the water hole, the dragon's head towards the entrance of the cave, breathing the aura of heaven and earth. After Li Chan saw it, he said to Tang Muzong Li Heng that the appearance of the divine dragon must be the Son of Heaven Xiangrui.
Seeing that the light in the cave was getting darker and darker, Qian and Li immediately returned, planning to visit the more famous Zhanggong Cave. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw a scribe calling a friend who was walking out, and his friend asked about the origin of the name of the cave, and the scribe immediately said:
"According to legend, more than 3,000 years ago, there was a poet, a good man, a wise and virtuous man, and Emperor Shun wanted to give him the world to govern. He replied angrily, 'I am free between heaven and earth, and my mind is content, so why should I need any world?' In order to commemorate him, later generations called this cave 'Zenmaki Cave'. ”
This allusion is not known to the boatman of the Changle Gang. Accidentally listening to the scribe's story, Qian Qingjian couldn't help but slander the ancients' "good scrolls".
But you can win the world and not want it, is this good scroll a fool?
Why don't you want the world?
If you have the world, you will have all the wealth in the world, and you will have all the women in the world. It can also regard human life as a mustard, and decide the survival of all living beings between talking and laughing.
The so-called awake to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties. Isn't this what a man dreams of? Otherwise, Wencheng Wude still has a fart?
Nowadays, in the world, the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Jin are living in peace, and it is the world that is reluctant to hold them in their arms, and in the Mongolian steppe, Genghis Khan jumped his horse and raised his sword to kill the Quartet, and he also took the world.
These birdmen who love the world and fight for the world, if anyone gives them the world Zen in their hands, they will only pounce on it like a hungry dog grabbing, how can they not want to?
Not to mention these birdmen with powerful soldiers, they are Ouyang Ke, Yang Kang and other noble children, don't they also want the power of the world and the knees of beauty?
Qian Qingjian thought about himself after thinking about it: "If someone gives me the world, do I want to?"
"Why not?" he said in his head, "Of course!"
Even if you become a member of the birdman who is hungry and robs, the world still wants it. It's a pity that this Emperor Shun died too early, and no one will be willing to do such a stupid thing as Zen to let the world go in the future. Not only did no one give him Qian Qingjian, but Genghis Khan could only grin like a mad dog and snatch food from the mouths of Zhao Kuo, Wan Yan Xun and others.
In the evening breeze, Li Mochou turned his head to look at Qian Qingjian and asked, "What do you want?"
Qian Qingjian's face was hot, and he said in his heart that this dream was outrageous, where could this flower world be coveted by a little person like himself. What do you say about the world, the power, the civil and military officials, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the three thousand beauties of the harem?
He looked at Li Mochou's beautiful cheeks and sighed.
Li Mochou would be mistaken, thinking that Qian Qingjian's "of course" was still wanting to marry her, so he also turned his head to look ahead and was silent. It wasn't until the two came to Zhanggongdong that Li Mochou said: "After swimming in Zhanggongdong, you can go back to Suzhou, I ...... it myself."
Qian Qingjian was sad in his heart, speechless, and didn't listen to what Li Mochou wanted to say, so he took the lead in entering Zhanggongdong.
Zhanggong Cave is not far from Shanjuan Cave. Shanjuan Cave is known as "Miracle of Eternity", and Zhanggong Cave is known as "Wonder of the Sea".
According to legend, Zhang Daoling, the originator of Taoism in the Han Dynasty, known as Zhang Tianshi, once lived here, and there are still relics of Tianshitai at the entrance of Chaotian Cave.
It is also said that Zhang Guolao in the story of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" in the Tang Dynasty also worked hard in this cave to achieve positive fruits, and then traveled across the sea with the immortals and never returned.
In the Han and Tang dynasties, there were hermits surnamed Zhang who cultivated here and became immortals, so it was called Zhang Gongdong. It is known as "there are two out of seventy blessed lands in the world, and Zhanggongdong is ranked fifty-eighth." "That's it.
Compared with the Shanjuan Cave, Zhanggong Cave is more mysterious and magical. There are holes in the holes, the big holes set the small holes, the size is seventy-two holes in total, the holes hide the mysteries, the holes contain wonders.
The main cave can be divided into two holes, the front and back, each with a hall. There is an unfathomable "stone sea" next to the front cave hall, which wears the top like a mountain roof, and the strange rocks around it are craggy, and the momentum is magnificent. From the stone steps to ascend, through an arch, you will arrive at the back hole "Sea and Earth Palace", which is the essence of the whole cave.
Although it was night, the scenery in the Sea and Earth Palace was still magnificent, which opened the eyes of Qian and Li.
"Sea and Earth Palace" is like a very grand underwater dragon palace, through the top of the clouds and mist, naturally open a skylight, there are starry light from the skylight, but also make the cave ethereal.
There are many small holes near the left side of the skylight, the holes are connected, the upper can pass the "sky", the lower can enter the "ground", the shapes are different, it is incomprehensible and strange, it is the hole in the hole.
Different from the good roll cave, at this time, there are no other visitors in the sea and soil palace, and I think that the tourists have returned every night. Only a few caves still have faint human voices coming from the depths of the caves.
Qian Qingjian turned his head to look at Li Mochou, only to see that she had been fascinated by the wonders in the cave, and her pretty face was full of hope and admiration, and her heart ached, and then her anger surged, and she said coldly: "Aren't you in a hurry to leave? Why aren't you in a hurry now?"
This sentence is really a rhetoric, Qian Qingjian is really looking forward to Li Mochou being able to say, "I won't leave for the time being, and I will accompany you again." Or you can say, "I'll be with you one more day." ”
As long as he accompanies him for four more days, he can trick the next volume of "Nine Yin True Scripture" from Guo Jing, and then wherever Li Mochou wants to go, he will accompany him, and he can even accompany Li Mochou back to the ancient tomb in the end.
However, Li Mochou would not do what he wanted, and after being awakened by Qian Qingjian's question, she smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Brother Qian, actually, I think you and Zhuo Qianyue are very compatible, that day, when Zhuo Gang Master went to find me, I said: 'You and Brother Qian are really good couples'......"
Qian Qingjian was stunned. He didn't expect that he had been given away by Li Mochou, he didn't value the marriage contract proposed by Zhuo Qianyue, in fact, he had been indulging in his affection for Li Mochou and couldn't extricate himself, so he would be entangled in front of Zhuo Qianyue's marriage contract. But a man's self-esteem is like this, I can be entangled, but you can't give me away first.
"When did this happen?" Qian Qingjian interrupted Li Mochou's blessing and asked from between his teeth.
At this time, he only felt that his heart was blank. Thousands of miles together, getting along day and night, and even sleeping in the same room, a seedling of love bred by all kinds of people was cut off with a sharp blade. And the one who wields the knife is the future master of Ai Miao.
Li Mochou finally felt some depression in the atmosphere, she didn't dare to look at Qian Qingjian, she only lowered her head and said softly: "It was the second day we arrived in Shenhezhuang. ”
"Why didn't you say it sooner...... Don't say it sooner...... Say it early...... Say, Say, Say......"
The entire Zhanggong Cave reverberated with Qian Qingjian's roar, which lasted for a long time.
Li Mochou still didn't dare to look at the angry Qian Qingjian, let alone answer.
"Haha...... Haha......" Qian Qingjian looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, and the laughter spread through each hole in the hole, suppressing the echo of the previous roar.
After laughing, Qian Qingjian didn't wait for the echo to disappear, threw the giant axe to the side, and smashed it with a loud bang that echoed endlessly.
He cupped Li Mochou's face with both hands, stared at her eyes and asked, "Tell me, what am I? What do you think of me? If you don't want it, you will give me away, am I yours?"
Li Mochou let Qian Qingjian hold her face in the palm of his hand, without any resistance, but still refused to speak, and even closed his eyes.
Qian Qingjian tried his best to hold back the fury in his heart, tried his best to keep his voice low, and said word by word: "That's right, I'm not handsome enough, my martial arts are not high enough, I don't have the status of the rivers and lakes, and I don't have a lot of money, but I have a sincere heart for you!"
"Joke, I don't believe you have a sincere heart for anyone!" a clear female voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah, Brother Qian, why are you here? Rong'er, don't talk nonsense. A male voice followed.
These two sudden words startled both Qian and Li. Li Mochou hurriedly reached out and broke Qian Qingjian's hands away, and turned his face to look to the side with Qian Qingjian. I saw a man and a woman standing at the entrance of a cave not far away, but it was not Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
