It's not hard to find Phoenix.
"Kangxi Emperor's Panorama" is available.
It is not difficult to find the Broken Soul Cliff of Jindou Mountain and the Bridge of No Return of Phoenix Ridge, and the locals know that as long as there is a mouth, it will make Yinliang inquire.
Jindou Mountain and Phoenix Ridge are in a place surrounded by mountains in the Dalou Mountains northwest of Fenghuang Town.
From a distance, it is nature that has carved a limestone mountain into two halves. Perhaps because he didn't want the two mountains to be divided too thoroughly, nature was on the waist of the two mountains, with skillful hands, to sculpt a natural bridge. Perhaps it is natural or unnatural from the bridge, and there are too many people who fall to their deaths voluntarily or involuntarily, so the locals call it the Bridge of No Return again.
The Jindou Mountain on the east side is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. Only on the south side is there a stone ladder that has been hewn out by hand, such as the Xiyue Huashan plank road, which winds steeply and leads to the top of the mountain. The Phoenix Ridge on the west side is surrounded by thorny steep slopes, and if you want to go to the nuns on the ridge, you can only pass through the bridge of no return that connects Jindou Mountain.
There is a big karst cave on the top of Jindou Mountain, and occasionally someone will see the golden light shining out of the cave from a distance, so the cave is also called the Buddha Light Cave. Local legends say that the one-horned king (the one-horned king was originally the Taishang Laojun riding a green ox, taking advantage of the cow boy's sleepiness, stealing Laojun's treasure Jin Gangzhuo, the lower realm to the Jindou Cave of Jindou Mountain, and then because of the greed for Tang monk meat, and was surrendered by Sun Wukong) had practiced spells in this cave, and the golden light that shone out was the light emitted by the treasure of Taishang Laojun. Even some old people swore that the Tang monk and apprentice went west to learn scriptures after receiving the unicorn queen on this mountain. Geoarchaeologists may say that this is just a legend, not a nonsense. However, there are many legends of one effect and multiple causes in human beings, such as: the descendants of Yan and Huang said that it was Fuxi Nuwa who married and multiplied human beings. However, > said that it was God who created man out of clay and breathed the breath of life into his nose to create a living soul...... How can a geoarchaeologist say right and wrong?
Anyway, the mountain is not high, and there are fairies. Therefore, the local rich township Shen rich households raised funds to build roads along the mountain, built temples on the mountain, and offered Tang monks and apprentices and the Buddha Taishang Laojun, invited the living monks to chant the scriptures and offer the Buddha, praying for the safety of one party. Since some people go up the mountain to ask for children and children, and ask for marriage to have a lover, Jindou Mountain has become the only holy place to worship the Buddha in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages. Until twenty years ago, after the Demon Palm Daoist and the Iron Finger Immortal Gu occupied this mountain, the mountain road was full of vendettas, blood, and dead corpses, and ordinary people no longer dared to go up the mountain. These two people have become monks on the surface, participate in Zen and enlightenment, practice and keep fit, but secretly they are not in love, and often use the exchange of martial arts experience to cheat. It is rumored that Shangguan Zhaoxiu, the young master of Cloud Mountain Villa, is actually the illegitimate son of the two.
Bai Ruxue went to the Broken Soul Cliff and the Bridge of No Return first, mainly to see what the masters who walked in front of her died.
Under the Broken Soul Cliff, there is eerie silence. The grass is barren, but the trees of the high sea coniferous forest are luxuriant. Among the dead branches and yellow leaves on some rocks, a human body with white bones is faintly visible. The rusty broken swords scattered next to the white bones show that these people who exposed their corpses in the wilderness were once also swordsmen and swordsmen who walked the rivers and lakes.
Occasionally, there are a few birdsong and crow calls, which is creepy.
Bai is as white as snow, although the artist is bold, he can't suppress the fear in his heart.
She couldn't escape, so she could only step forward and take a closer look at the human bones.
None of the bones were blackened, apparently unrelated to poison, and Bai Ruxue could be sure.
If a person dies of poisoning, the blackened bones cannot be washed away by any amount of rain.
All the bones were scarred, or broken arms and legs, or broken spine or cervical vertebrae, or rib bones and bones were broken...... If these can barely be said to be caused by falling from a height, then some skulls only have a few round holes as big as fingers, but they can't be broken out anyway, they are definitely left by martial arts masters, Bai Ruxue is convinced of this.
The condition under the Bridge of No Return is not much different from that under the Broken Soul Cliff.
The road up the mountain is a bit barren, and many places have been covered by weeds that have invaded the road, and it should have been a long time since anyone walked.
The stone staircase at the top of the mountain was very clean, and it was difficult to see even a single leaf stain, apparently someone had cleaned it.
In the mist, the clues of the rafters of the Taoist Pavilion have been slightly revealed.
White as snow does not dare to fontanelle. She hid in the bushes next to a boulder, probing forward and backward...... She was a little uneasy, she felt that since she entered Phoenix Town, there was always a shadow following her, staring at her from a distance with a pair of eyes. Several times, without warning, she jerked back to capture the sacredness of this shadow, but in vain. The shadow was always like a ghost, flickering before she could see it and disappearing. This has never happened before. She was angry and irritable, but helpless.
"Is it a human, is it a ghost, is it an enemy, is it a friend?" Bai Ruxue said secretly, "Whatever, as long as it doesn't get in the way of my work, just follow it! ”
Dusk is coming.
The night was dark.
When approaching, Bai Ruxue took advantage of the cover of the night, using the faint moonlight, to perform the light skill of stepping on the snow without a trace, or jumping or somersaulting to dodge, or climbing the eaves and turning over the window or bargeing the door latch to open the door, in less than an hour, she almost turned over the Jindou Mountain Taoist Temple, and memorized the path signs everywhere, in case of emergency. She even found the ugly things that Lao Dao hid in the cave: in the depths of the cave, there were several young women locked up in an iron fence, and by the oil lamp on the cave wall, it was obvious that the women were untidy, depressed, and glazed, and they were greatly ravaged and destroyed. Bai Ruxue wanted to rescue them, but then she thought about it: "I'll let her wait out, where can they go with this black light? Besides, some women seem to be obviously pregnant, and they may not be willing to take their bodies and evil seeds defiled by demons and return to their original places to bring themselves and their families to shame and humiliate. Bai Ruxue only admired the chaste martyr in her bones, and she subconsciously despised the woman who survived after falling into the devil's cave. She said secretly: "If I fall into their situation, in order to protect my innocence, I will definitely end up with myself, and I will never live and be bullied. It's important to find cheats, and you can't take care of them. ”
But she was very strange, not only did she not find any trace of > and > in the scripture cave in Lao Dao's bedroom study, but she didn't even see Lao Dao's shadow.
