Chapter 109 Tianmen Mountain

All this starts twenty years ago. At that time, time had entered the early 1990s. Everyone had changed their new ideas and began to work hard to build economics, striving to be a trendsetter in the market economy in the new era. It has been ten years since my grandfather returned to Tianjin from Beiling Village. After working at home for a while, my grandfather opened a small shop in the famous Dahutong Commercial Street in Tianjin, which specialized in selling imported trousers. In the words of the old man, this is also a new era and a new atmosphere. After the baptism of the disaster more than ten years ago and twenty years ago, the old man has long stopped chasing him.

I want to be united by nature, but I just want to live my own life quietly, grow flowers and grass, have a lot of children and grandchildren, and live my life. The only apprentice, who got married a few years ago, is now the captain of a scientific expedition team. Every day, the master and apprentice are separated from each other. Although this is the case, my apprentice's foundation is solid, has deep skills, is more capable, and has learned modern science. In my grandfather's opinion, even at his age, he can't catch up with him. In this way, although this apprentice is wandering outside on weekdays, my grandfather is quite relieved.

However, as the saying goes, the mother who has been in a thousand miles is worried. No matter how worried her grandfather is, she will miss her disciples for too long. Especially since her grandfather has long decided to seal the Dharma and no longer uses Taoism. This Jin Jingye has been the only memory and remembrance of his time and years. The love he devoted to this disciple, even his two sons, cannot match. [bsp;    In the past, no matter how busy he is, Jin Jingye would come to see his master at least once a year, but this time, an accident occurred. Jin Jingye has not had any consecutive years.

It was already on the road, and my grandfather was very distressed about this only apprentice. He tried every means to inquire, and even used Wen Yang's father's relationship (my grandfather was sealed, and he was not good at making hexagrams like Liuyao.) He had never found anything. He only knew that the reliable group he was in. After coming down from Mount Tai, he went to Tianmen Mountain and then went down the mountain. Jin Jingye disbanded the entire reliable group on the spot. After that, he disappeared. It should be the last two months. The whereabouts of this person came to an abrupt end and no longer heard from now on.

Hearing this caution, my grandfather's heart was already half relieved. Two months ago, Jin Jingye was still alive and came down from Songshan, which at least shows that his condition is still good.

But the doubts in my heart are still there. After all, it has been two months since then. What happened in the past two months is hard to say, especially Tianmen Mountain. In the hearts of ordinary people, this Tianmen Mountain is just a tourist attraction. Even in that era, even tourist attractions were not counted. When most people hear the three words "Tianmen Mountain", they will first think of the poem "Tianmen Mountain" inherited by the poet Li Bai, "Tianmen interrupted the Chu River, the clear water flowed eastward from now on, and the green mountains on both sides of the shore were opposite each other, and the lonely sail came from the sun."

But this poem does not describe the Tianmen Mountain where Jin Jingye went. The Tianmen Mountain described by Li Bai is Tianmen Mountain in Wuhu, located in Daqiao Town, Jiujiang District, Wuhu City. For thousands of years, Tianmen Mountain has attracted celebrities from all ages with its unique mountain shape and rich historical and cultural heritage, and poets come to travel and chant.

Wuhu Tianmen Mountain, also known as Dongliang Mountain or Bowang Mountain, is not a high mountain, with an altitude of less than 100 meters. However, it is better than steep. Tianmen Mountain is steep, like cutting a knife and axe, suddenly standing in the river, confronting across the river. It can be said that "the sky gate interrupts the Chu River." At the distance between water and sky, various ships shuttle from the "Tianmen", allowing tourists to enjoy the magical scenery of nature; when the boat passes through the "Tianmen", you can go down the river and visit the poet Li Taibai River, Caishiji, where the moon is hidden in the river, rides a whale to the sky, and the tomb of Qingshan Taibai; not far down is Wujiang Town, Hexian County, where you can visit Xiang Yu Temple, who is a hero who dies as a ghost hero, and is defeated by the defeated king of Western Chu. When my grandfather was young, he also visited.

But what Jin Jingye went to was the Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, which is the legendary Yunmeng Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain, known as Yunmeng Mountain in ancient times, Songliang Mountain is the highest mountain in Yongding District, Zhangjiajie. It is only 8 kilometers away from the city. It is named after the natural wonder of Tianmen Cave. It was the first famous mountain recorded in history. In the sixth year of Yong'an in the Three Kingdoms (263 AD), Songliang Mountain suddenly opened its cliffs and became as bright as a gate, forming the rare world wonder of Tianmen Cave, which has since been named Tianmen Cave. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, preserved complete primitive secondary forests, with many extremely precious and unique plant varieties, and the forest coverage rate is 90%. During this period, ancient trees are towering, vines are wrapped, moss is everywhere, stalagmites and stone buds are everywhere, like natural bonsai, and it is praised as the most beautiful sky garden and fairyland in the world.

It is said that in the sixth year of Yong'an in the Three Kingdoms (263 AD), the cliff at the height of Mount Songliang suddenly opened, which was as bright as a gate. The auspicious sign of Emperor Sun Xiu's view of Tianmen, spread all over the world, and Songliang Mountain was also renamed Tianmen Mountain. The Tianmen Mountain, which was steep and steep, was called Zhangjiajie's natural painting screen. The uplift of Mount Tianmen began in the Yanshan movement, and then passed through the Himalayas orogenic movement. The mountain rose violently for more than 1,000 meters, and was surrounded by fault joints.

Deep cutting, coupled with the karst erosion of long-term wind and rain, creates a steep and high-rise karst platform-shaped landform. The top of the mountain is relatively flat, preserves complete primitive secondary forests, with many extremely precious and unique plant varieties, with a forest coverage rate of 90%. During this period, ancient trees are towering, vines are wrapped, moss is everywhere, stalagmites and stone buds are all there, like natural bonsai, and is praised as the most beautiful sky garden and fairyland in the world.

There is actually nothing scary about these, but this Tianmen Mountain in Hunan has been a sacred mountain since ancient times. Many experts live in seclusion here and enjoy the unique natural aura. The Tianmen Cave is evaporated all year round, and the scene is unpredictable. Sometimes clouds and fogs breathe and surging from the cave, and sometimes rays of rays emerge from the cave, magnificent and magical, like an illusion, as if it contains the infinite mystery of the world. Local historical records once recorded: "In the mysterious ancient times, some natives saw the rays of rays coming out of the clouds, purple air surrounds the cave, and overflows the sky, thinking it is auspicious, and they lean on the ground to worship it." Since ancient times, the fantasy and beautiful "Tianmen Spitting Fog" and "Tianmen Spiritual Light" have been considered auspicious signs in the heavens and are famous.

The mysterious and magical legend of the holy realm is long.

Tianmen Mountain, with a deep historical and cultural heritage, has always been regarded as a sacred mountain and a sacred mountain by the local people, and is also known as "the first sacred mountain in western Hunan" and "the soul of Wuling". The origin of these reputations can be found in the legends passed down from generation to generation by local people. The two most widely circulated and influential legends in the local area and even in western Hunan are the mystery of "Tianmen Fengshui" and "Tianmen Fengshui". "Tianmen Fengshui" is the top of the cliff on the right side of the Tianmen Cave. It will suddenly blew floods on sunny days in dry season, and there is no water source where the water comes out. Locals have basically witnessed this strange phenomenon many times. It is more mysterious.

The method is that the year when the water turns will always match the year when major historical events or natural disasters occur. "Tianmen Turn" is also well-known in Zhangjiajie. Local residents almost certainly believe that the direction of the Tianmen Cave has been turning quietly in recent decades. In the past, the location of the Tianmen Cave could be clearly seen in several places in the city, but now it is not seen in the right direction. Only when the Tianmen Cave rotates from north to northwest will it be like this. There are many magical legends about the natural phenomena of Tianmen Mountain that are widely circulated, and many phenomena are difficult to explain scientifically. All of this makes Tianmen Mountain even more mysterious.

There are many historical and cultural legends about Tianmen Mountain. The longest-ridden legends are the legends of "Yefu Treasure" and "Guigu Xiuyi". "Yefu Treasure" is a saying that after Li Zicheng's defeat, his nephew Li Guo secretly transported all the treasures to Tianmen Mountain to hide. Li Guo therefore became a monk at Tianmen Mountain Temple, with the name "Yefu". The "Yongding County Chronicles" of the Qing Dynasty recorded: "Yefu from Jiashan Temple in the Ming Dynasty. Yefu was a remnant of the thief. He was defeated and fled to Tianzhu." As we all know, when Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, he swept all the gold, silver and treasures of the national treasury, intending to make a comeback in the future. Yefu went to Tianmen Mountain to transfer the treasure. For hundreds of years, many people have returned empty-handed.

"Guigu Xiuyi" is a saying that Guiguzi lived in seclusion in Guigu Cave on the cliff of Tianmen Mountain, studying the Book of Changes, and teaching the Guigu Divine Arts that local people can strengthen their bodies, which is the world-famous Dayong Hard Qigong. When his grandfather was young, he even met the descendants of Dayong Hard Qigong in western Hunan and had some discussions.

These legends were also very interesting to Jin Jingye. Even when he was learning, he often mentioned them to his grandfather, and even said he wanted to explore them, but he was rejected by his grandfather. The reason was that Tianmen Mountain was so mysterious. A few years ago, there was a photographer, and even photographed the influence of Guigu Immortal Master with a camera on the walls of Guigu Cave. In addition, since the previous year, countless people have witnessed the existence of unicorns in the mountains, with a tiger-like body, red all over, and an arc-shaped horn in the middle of his head. When someone approached him, he quickly disappeared. So much so that the Tianmen auspicious beast has now become a famous legend.

When my grandfather was young, he had visited the legendary unicorns to explore, but the final result was nothing, but he was surrounded by dangers many times, so my grandfather still has lingering fears. He heard that Jin Jingye disappeared after going down the mountain from there. The old man was relieved and worried, it was really both.

But there is no way. Many things cannot be controlled by humans. Since they are missing, they can only try their best to find them. During this period, my grandfather secretly attracted Jin Jingye's soul and got nothing, which made the old man feel a little relieved. On this day, the old man set up a stall as usual, because it is the largest small commodity distribution center in northern China, the big Hutong, and there is a large passenger flow every day.

Grandpa saw on the chair that a young man suddenly stopped beside the stall. Grandpa didn't care anything, but just greeted him softly: "Hello, pick it casually, tell me the size after you have chosen it." Then he continued reading.

(Hey, the passing years are not good, Xiaotian is sick again, drinking that day was so fierce... As a result... Hey, the eyelids are too hard to rise now, but this chapter is very important, especially Tianmen Mountain, so I said a little more.)
