Chapter 161: Heavenly Cliff Mouth
The two of them walked up the slope, their hearts full of joy, their feet light and their bodies strong. At this time, the night has already crept in, "the bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds." "The round, silvery moon hangs in the sky, floating between the clouds like a silver basin, but it dresses up the mountains and rivers with a rich and luxurious silver makeup.
Taichen inadvertently took Min Xiaorong's hand, stepped on the narrow ridge, and climbed up against the cool mountain breeze.
"The mountains are so beautiful at night. Min Xiaorong couldn't help but say.
Taichen stopped and looked back at Min Xiaorong: "Is Kunshan so beautiful in you?"
"Yes, but the feeling is different, Kunshan is majestic, here is the beauty of the steepness, just like the beauty of the sea and the waterfall. Min Xiaorong said.
Taichen muttered and turned around, "Could it be that we have already arrived at the mouth of the Heavenly Cliff?" so fast. ”
"Isn't that great, why are you worried?" asked Min Xiaorong puzzled.
"Have you heard the story of the Heavenly Cliff Pass?" asked Taichen.
Min Xiaorong shook her head, her experience was far less abundant than that of Taichen, who traveled south and north.
"The mouth of the cliff is named after a legend. Taichen stared at the clouds below the boundless mountain, as if returning to the distant ancient times.
"Oh, legend again?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Tell me about it?" Min Xiaorong said, she seemed to feel a little strange.
Taichen pointed to a flat boulder in front of him and said, "Why don't we go and sit on that stone and tell you about it." ”
"Good!"
The two jumped onto the stone, only to find that it was a cliff, which was very flat and had a lot of space, enough for a dozen people to lie flat.
Taichen was very happy when he saw it, he took out the tent, to set it up, he chose the side close to the cliff, which could block the wind and rain, peeled off the four balls, and sucked each hemisphere on the stone wall, so that no matter how windy it was, he was not afraid to blow it away, and he put the four iron skewers and the hemispheres aside.
Min Xiaorong touched these hemispheres with her hands, and she looked at Taichen with surprise: "You have a lot of treasures, could it be that Bu Suzi made it for you again?"
Taichen nodded and said with a smile: "Rong'er, you are so smart, if you like it, I will also ask him to help you make some treasures when I return to Beijing in the future." ”
Min Xiaorong nodded and sat down in a flat place: "You should tell me about that legend, right?"
After Taichen had finished everything, he also sat down next to her, handed her some dry food and water, and talked while eating:
It is said that a long time ago, this was the only passage between heaven and earth on one side, so that people could go to heaven and become immortals from here, and gods could also go down to earth from here to play...
One day, there was a young fairy named Zishu Fairy, he heard that the world was fun, so he secretly descended from here to the mortal dust, although it is a passage, but not everyone or gods can enter and exit casually!
There are two situations that fall from the sky: one is routine, and there is a mandate of heaven to do it; The other is an immortal with a particularly high grade, a special identity, and a very high skill.
And if human beings want to enter heaven, they must also be enlightened masters, and only those who have extremely good moral cultivation can enter.
But this Zishu Fairy is not the same, he secretly went down to the mortal, wandering in the world for many days, feeling that the world is just like this, and it makes him feel sad, this place is full of hardships and dangers, deceit, miserable and desolate, life and death, it makes him uncomfortable, he wants to return to heaven immediately.
In his hurry, he bumped into a girl, and he was stunned, this is a beautiful, virtuous and gentle, generous and tactful woman, her name is Xianyue.
The two fell in love at first sight, meeting to watch the mountains and rivers, read the sunrise, and about the bright moon, and the happiness was a mess, and the Zishu Fairy appreciated the beauty and happiness of the world, but happiness is always short-lived, and sadness is long-lasting.
The matter of the Zishu Fairy was finally revealed, and the Heavenly Court sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to arrest him, and as a result, the two of them were separated from each other from then on, and they would never see each other, and this place was also closed by the Heavenly Court from then on, and it was no longer the entrance to the sky, and people began to call it "Tianyakou", and it became an ominous place in the world, as long as the people who came here would be separated, whether it was parents and children, male and female marriages, relatives and friends.
"I see, it seems to be a kind of spell that makes many people reluctant to come here, right?" Min Xiaorong looked at the sky and said, "I don't believe it?"
"It is said that when the ancestor of Tianzhi Xiangu was still a girl, he once came to Tianyakou with his beloved, and saw the beautiful scenery here, they stayed here for three days and three nights, and spent the best time in their lives, but then the two did have to separate for various reasons, she was heartbroken, and a person went to Mu Xianling to found Xianyiguan, and only then did he have the current Tianzhi Xiangu and others. ”
Min Xiaorong was silent, she seemed to understand why Taichen didn't want to go to the mouth of the cliff: "Where did you hear these messy legends?"
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Taichen's mouth, "There are many legends in the rivers and lakes? There are everywhere, as long as you are a person who breaks into the rivers and lakes, you can and will always hear it." ”
"In this way, I haven't actually set foot in the rivers and lakes for half a step, and I have seen such a lonely and unheard of. ”
Taichen nodded seriously, but his smile was still warm, like the gentle moonlight in the sky...
In the early morning, as soon as the sky was white, Taichen woke up Min Xiaorong in the tent: "Get up, get up!"
"What? It's still early?"
"When I went to see the sunrise, it was said that the sunrise at the mouth of the cliff was the most beautiful, and the person who could see it was the happiest person. ”
"Wait for me, wait for me. Min Xiaorong got up excitedly and got out of the tent.
They sat side by side and watched the eastern sky, the sky was blue at first, then a patch of light white, and then slowly began to blush, and finally a red line appeared on the celestial line, a semi-arc of fireballs, and then a semi-circle, and the whole sphere finally jumped out of the clouds, bright red and bright red, as if it could drip blood, but it was not dazzling. The face of a blushing little girl was full of vigor, and then a thin cloud lingered like a veil, and then it was also dyed red.
"It's really beautiful. ”
Taichen smiled: "What's more beautiful is the person who looks at it." ”
Min Xiaorong gave him a blank look: "Do you mean that you are beautiful, or are you praising me? You are really a narcissist." ”
"Of course it's the two of us, you see, if there is only the sunrise and the cliff, and we don't sit on the cliff to watch the sunrise, this painting will be lifeless. Taichen said proudly, "According to legend, only those who see the sunrise will not be separated." ”
"Really?" Min Xiaorong blinked, thinking that what he said was actually quite right.
Taichen smiled: "It is cloudy and misty all year round, and there are no sunny days in a year, even if the night is clear, the morning may be covered by a sea of clouds, we are so lucky." ”
Min Xiaorong's heart, which had always been heavy, also became cheerful, and her face showed a smile like a flower.
The surrounding mountains are already under the clouds, and only the peak of Muxian Ridge next to him is still standing.
"You see, Muxian Ridge was originally two peaks, but in fact, we are already on top of one mountain. Min Xiaorong said.
"Yes, this is the highest ridge, but it is a little lower over there, that is the Taoist temple, ethereal among the clouds and mist, no wonder it is a place that the gods envy. ”
Min Xiaorong said with a smile: "I don't envy it, our Kunshan is also so beautiful, or even more majestic." ”
"Really, can you show me there?"
"Of course, the strange stone ridge where our old ancestor lives is higher than here, but it is the forbidden place of our Kunlong Palace, and not everyone can go there. ”
"Great, do I have a chance to take a look?" Taichen looked envious.
Min Xiaorong shook her head and said that she couldn't get in. "That requires the consent of my father and Taizu to go up, Taizu doesn't like to see people casually. ”
"The Empty Dong Yuan Ancestor should be more than one hundred and twenty years old, right?"
"That is, he only sees me, and no one else, including my grandfather and my father. Min Xiaorong said of Taizu, with a proud face, "What are you? Let's go! Let's cross the cliff mouth early. ”
It was already dawn, the two of them packed up their belongings, and continued to move forward, and soon they found that they had walked to the cliff in front of them, and there was a boulder between the two mountain tops, just like two giant hands holding a bronze mirror, both sides of the boulder were smooth and steep stone walls, the front stone wall was convex, and the back was concave, and a series of footprints were chiseled out on the front light wall, and there were rusty stains hanging on the stone wall. The iron chain broke a few sections, and below it was an abyss, and floating clouds drifted under the boulder, which according to legend was placed by the Heavenly Court to close the passage.
Min Xiaorong frowned: "How can this be done? If the iron chain is good, it will not be a problem to climb over, but it is already broken, and it can't be connected, and the distance between the two peaks is so far that it can't fly over!"
Taichen also looked at the stone, which was huge, as if it had been chopped by a human knife and axe, and it was smooth all around, and it was impossible to climb: "It seems that no one has passed here for a long time. ”
He thought about it, and suddenly patted his head, how could he forget? He took out the four hemispheres that he usually used for tents from his baggage, tore off the iron skewers and put them in his bag.
Min Xiaorong looked at him suspiciously, do you want to set up a tent and live here?
He walked up to Min Xiaorong, held up the hemisphere and said, "Do you know how geckos climb on walls?"
"Because they have suction cups. ”
"Yes, this is our sucker, we have to crawl over it like a gecko, do you dare?"
"Well, whoever doesn't dare is a turtle with a shrunken head. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Uncle Chen, if you really see the sunrise, won't you be separated again?" Yuhan asked.
Taichen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Originally, I didn't believe in these boring spells, saying that watching the sunrise to solve the spell was just to comfort your master, but I didn't expect that we still fell into the Tao." Alas!"
Yuhan's heart sank, and she looked blankly at the empty four fields under the Yanyi Cliff...
