The scenic spot takes Jiuqu River as the main line, and there are mainly tourist areas such as Tianyou Peak, Jade Girl Peak, Dawang Peak, Water Curtain Cave, and First-line Sky. There is a poem praised by the village sage Lin Chengqiang:

A coffin is erected by the Jiuqu River.

The jade girl shouted the mountain sacrifice with the fairy,

The water turtle pulls out the candle to report safety.

Wuyi blessed land Wan Jiahuan.

On this day, Wu Xiude and Guo Tiancheng appeared in Wuyi Palace under Dawang Peak.

According to the records of Wuyi Mountain, Wuyi Palace was built during the Tang Tianbao period (742-755), which is the oldest palace in Wuyi Mountain, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. When Wuyi Palace was first built, it was not on the present site, but built on the Zhouzhu of a song, called Tianbao Palace. In the second year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (944), Li Wangjing of Yuanzong "resigned from the glory and entered the Tao" for his younger brother Li Liangzuo, and then moved to the present site, which was named "Huixian Guan". After the completion of the Huixian Temple, the feudal rulers of the past dynasties who believed in the immortal family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to repair and expand the palace many times, and renamed it "Zhongyou Temple".

The Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji, the poet Lu You, the physicist Liu Zijun, Zhu Xi, etc., were all in charge of the Chong Youguan. In the fifth year of Yuan Taiding (1328), it was changed to a palace, called "Wannian Palace". In the fourth year of Ming orthodoxy (1439), the view was destroyed by Bingxie. During the Tianshun and Chenghua periods (1457-1487), although the government allocated funds for repairs many times, the old view could not be restored. In the fourth year of Jiajing (1525), the temple was burned again, and it was restored the following year. That is, Wuyi Palace.

The long-standing Wuyi Palace, although it has been repaired in successive dynasties, can not withstand several fires and soldiers, and only a few empty rooms are left. With the support of the tourism and cultural departments, the main hall of Wuyi Palace has been restored again, and the two laurel trees in the courtyard are the remains of the Song Dynasty, which are 800-900 years old. The plan for the full restoration of Wuyi Palace will be carried out gradually. This ancient temple will surely regain its former majesty.

They stood at the gate of Wuyi Palace, and Guo Tiancheng asked, "Where are we going?" Do you want to take me on a tour of the mountains and rivers?

Wu Xiude said with a smile: You think beautifully, I took you to our Baidao Holy Land to practice martial arts, you remembered to travel the mountains and rivers, hehe!

Guo Tiancheng asked puzzledly: Could it be that your Baidao Holy Land is in this Wuyi Palace? This is a tourist holy land, is it also your Baidao Holy Land?

Wu Xiude said with a smile: The holy land is no longer here, but the Dawang Peak behind the Wuyi Palace, but now it is daytime, it is inconvenient to enter, and it is only good to enter at night, so ah, we have to visit the mountains and rivers during the day.

Guo Tiancheng said with a smile: Let's go, then let's go on a tour of the mountains and rivers. As he spoke, he walked towards Wuyi Palace.

Dawang Peak is also known as Shamao Rock, Tianzhu Peak, because the mountain shape is like a eunuch's gauze hat, and it is named after the majesty of the king. It is located in the north of the mouth of Jiuqu Creek and is the first peak to enter Wuyi Mountain. The altitude is 530 meters, the upper and lower are abundant, the momentum is magnificent, looking at it from afar, it is like the giant pillar of optimus, and it is called "the king of immortals" in the thirty-six peaks of Wuyi. The ancient trees on the top of the peak are towering to the sky, and there are Tianjian Pond, Toulong Cave, Xianhe Rock, Shengzhen View Ruins Zhusheng.

Dawang Peak is surrounded by cliffs, and there is only a narrow hole on the south wall, which can be used to climb to the peak. This is a straight up and straight down crack, only a foot wide, chiseled stone level, can pick up the level and spiral up. The higher the fissure, the narrower it becomes, and in some places the climber needs to shrink his abdomen sideways, and use his hands and feet at the same time. Xu Xiake of the Ming Dynasty called it one of the three dangerous paths of Wuyi. There is Zhang Xianyan on the peak waist, and it is said that it is the place where Zhang Yu sat in the Han Dynasty. There is Tianjian Pond, the water of the pond is extremely clear, although the drought is inexhaustible. The name of the spring on the pond is "Hanbi Spring". The side of the pool is the place where Song Yushi Lin Wenneng knots. From here, there is another ladder, there is the site of the Ascending True Temple. From the left side of the view, you will go up the stairs to the roof. Climb a few dozen steps further up to reach the summit of Dawang Peak.

The topography of Dawang Peak is flat, the ancient trees are towering, and the leaves are everywhere. There is Shengzhen Cave between the rocks on the east wall, there is a rainbow bridge board in the hole, the ship coffin frame is on it, it is immortal for thousands of years, and people can not take it. There is also an unfathomable rock on the top of the mountain, about more than one meter wide, peeping into the dark, throwing stones, the sound is like thunder, a moment of rest.

According to legend, this is the place where the Song Dynasty repeatedly sent messengers to send "Golden Dragon Jade Jane", so it was called "Cast Dragon Cave".

When the bright moon was in the sky, Wu Xiude and Guo Tiancheng came to this Dragon Cave, Guo Tiancheng looked at the unfathomable Dragon Cave, turned back to Wu Xiude and said: The Baidao Martial Arts Holy Land you are talking about, won't it be in this Dragon Cave?

Wu Xiude smiled and pointed to the Dragon Cave and said: You are so smart, you guessed right, our holy land is in this Dragon Cave Stone, is there any problem with this?

Guo Tiancheng looked at the entrance of the cave and said timidly: This is bottomless, go on like this? If you are not careful, or if you miss, it will be a broken bone, I won't do it.

After hearing this, Wu Xiude said with a smile: What are you afraid of? I don't know how many times I've walked back and forth on this road, don't I stand in front of you well? Besides, have you forgotten that the martial arts master in martial arts novels is not a high-flying one?

Guo Tiancheng listened to him, although he was not so scared. But I still said uneasily: The things in martial arts novels are all fictional, and I haven't seen it in reality, and now I know you, I haven't seen you show any superb martial arts, how do I know if it's true or false. If it's fake, you've lived to this age, it doesn't matter, I'm still young and don't want to die.

After Wu Xiude heard this, he laughed

Guo Tiancheng couldn't understand it even more, and asked: What are you laughing at, what's so funny, isn't what I said true?

Wu Xiude said: I laughed, I laughed at you because you were worried about this, then according to your meaning, if I don't prove it to you, you won't go down with me.

Guo Tiancheng nodded and said: "It's really sure, as the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." I have to see it to believe it.

Wu Xiude listened to his words and said: Well, what you said makes some sense, then the old man will prove it to you. Come, come with me. After speaking, he took Guo Tiancheng to the edge of the cliff, and then turned back to him and said: Look carefully and see if the old man is qualified to take you down, hehe!

Guo Tiancheng said: Let's prove it, I'm watching, I want to see...

He couldn't say the rest of the words, why was this? It turned out that before he finished speaking, he had already seen Wu Xiude walking out of the Shunde cliff, pointing out that his feet were in the air, and he was still moving. As his feet moved, he slowly stepped out of the cliff, standing in the air but not falling. Guo Tiancheng, who was looking directly, widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Wu Xiude motionlessly.

At this time, Wu Xiude turned around and said to Guo Tiancheng: Boy, see clearly, the old man will give you another stimulus. After speaking, he fell to the bottom of the cliff and quickly went down the cliff.

Guo Tiancheng's eyes moved to the bottom of the cliff with Wu Xiude's figure, and he shouted: Be careful, don't, the words behind me haven't been said yet, I saw Wu Xiude under the cliff spotting a big stone, and his feet climbed on which stone, and his whole body rushed straight up like a rocket, and returned to the position just now and stopped in the air. He looked at Guo Tiancheng's expression of disbelief and asked, "In this way, I am qualified to take you down, right?"

At this time, what else can Guo Tiancheng say. Hurriedly said: Qualified, qualified, take me down, I can't wait to learn martial arts like yours.

Wu Xiude said with a smile: Then what are you waiting for, let's go down, hehe!

So the two of them came to the edge of the Dragon Cave again, Wu Xiude grabbed Guo Tiancheng and said: If you are afraid, if you are afraid, you can close your eyes. We're ready to go down, don't be afraid to be here soon, hehe!

Guo Tiancheng straightened his chest and said: Go down, there is nothing to be afraid of now, haha! I only have excitement left now, let's go!

Wu Xiude didn't say much, grabbed Guo Tiancheng and jumped down towards the Dragon Cave, don't look at the mouth of the Dragon Cave is not very big, but it is very big below. As his body slowly descended, Guo Tiancheng looked around, only to see all kinds of stones protruding from the stone walls around him, with various shapes, some like monkeys, some like tigers, etc., he was dazzled by it. He had to sigh at the magic of nature, and before he could finish his sigh, he saw a platform protruding from two or three meters down, and the light at the top of the platform, at this time, Wu Xiude's accelerated speed floated towards the platform.

The distance of twenty or thirty meters fell to the platform in a blink of an eye, and when he arrived at the platform, Guo Tiancheng realized that the bright light was shot out of a hole in the cliff wall. After fixing his eyes again, the top of the cave was engraved, Wulin Dongtian, a few words, he turned around and asked Wu Xiude: Is this what you call the White Dao Holy Land?

Wu Xiude replied: Isn't that like that?

Guo Tiancheng said: Just such a hole, can it be called a holy land?

Wu Xiude said with a smile: Why don't you go in and have a look, you can make up your mind so early.

Guo Tiancheng walked into the cave and said, "I'm going to take a look."

Wu Xiude didn't say much, so he followed in.
