155, Where is the monster

The gateway to Qingaotai is a steep cliff cave more than 20 meters above the ground. At that time, everyone walked deep into the abdomen of the mountain, and at the end was a cave hall. This was an open cave hall. Looking to the left, two huge rocks overlapped to form an exit. The sight passed through the branches and leaves of the dwarf trees growing on the rock wall, and the starlight in the sky outside the mountain was visible.

Looking to the right, there is another exit on the high ground, a stair with a railing leading there, and a ray of starlight shines at the end. Zhuang Mengzhou turned on the flashlight and said, "This place is called the bath pot cave, it is also a scenic spot... This legend is interesting!"

Bi Xuecheng: "How did you know?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "There are signs standing here, and the face is written."

He lowered his head and saw a wooden sign standing in a corner of the stone chamber. His face was red and his white background. It was actually Chinese, English and Korean. It was said that the bathtub where the fairy bathed here, one day, two demons sneaked into the cave to peep, and did not want to alarm the fairy who was bathing. The fairy stood up in a pantyhose in shock, but her head hit the mountain rock, leaving a beautiful mark."

The flashlight Ding Qi brought was already out of power, but he didn't expect that Zhuang Mengzhou's flashlight had electricity. It seemed that it had been useless for a while, and the battery was removed and saved. The brand of this scenic spot is interesting, and I don't know how the story was made up. A fairy's head hit Shanyan? The person who wrote this story probably also hit Shanyan.

There is also a QR code in the left corner of the brand. Scan the QR code with your mobile phone and add the official account to see more introductions to the scenic spot. But what’s annoying is that the brand does not have a signature for the scenic spot, and everyone doesn’t know where they came.

Looking up at the cave room, it was an inverted dome. It was seven or eight meters high, and it seemed like it was hit by a head. They stood in the center of the cave hall, and the natural rocks next to it formed a pool, which was more like a bathing bath, but there was no water in the pool. The cave was divided into two floors, and there was another cave hall higher than the height of the back, which looked like a one-bedroom and one-living room.

Ding Qi suddenly said: "I remember where this is."

Xian Hao: "Where is this?"

Ding Qi: "It should be the Tianshan Cave Scenic Area in Ningxiang County, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Qingaotai in Jingyang County!"

Bi Xuecheng: "The exit and entrance are not in the same place, and are they so far away?"

Ye Yanxing: "This is normal, think about it, how far have we gone in the Qingaotai world?"

Ding Qi: "No wonder Mr. Tao Xin said that those who came out could not go back."

Ding Qike opened the door to go out at any place in Qingaotai World, but no matter where he came out, the place he arrived was this bath pot hole, and the location was no longer in Jingyang County. If you don’t know where the entrance is, the person who came out would certainly not be able to find the way back. In fact, it can be found, and Yaoguang Zhen, the treasure of the control world, cannot enter.

Zhu Shanxian: "Let's go out and have a look."

Zhuang Mengzhou shook his flashlight and said, "If you don't walk the two little monsters, we will go out from the surface."

Meng Huiyu said in surprise: "Where are monsters?"

Ye Yanxing also said: "Mr. Zhuang, the wilderness is dark and dark, don't scare us!"

Zhuang Mengzhou pointed to the overlapping rock at the exit on the left and said, "Isn't that like two little monsters peeking? Otherwise, how did the story of the wooden sign be made up?"

This is a rock cave that runs through left and right. Zhuang Mengzhou walked in front of the steps with a flashlight and everyone quickly came out. Looking at the valley surrounded by an arc of small mountains, there was no lights in the village. They stood halfway up the hillside. The mountain was not high, and the entrance of the cave was only a few dozen meters away from the foot of the mountain. There was a road at the foot of the mountain, and there was a large lotus pond opposite the road.

If it was summer, the scenery would be beautiful when the lotus leaves were connected to the sky and the lotus flowers reflected in the sun. But now it is winter, and there is only a bare dead pole on the water surface. There are stone steps under your feet. After walking a few steps down the stone steps, you will see a monument erected by the roadside. The introduction of the monument is completely different from the sign in the cave.

The cave just now was called the bath pot cave among the people, but historical records are also called Lingyan Cave or Quju Stone Room. It is said that it was the seclusion place of Quju Sin, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. A mere inconspicuous roadside cave, and another big man lived in. After the Southern Anhui Incident, Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army, was secretly detained in the Quju Sincere, which must have been very remote and secret.

This small mountain range that surrounds the valley in an arc is called Tianmen Mountain. There are many similar or identical place names across the country, which is also one of the difficulties in finding the locations recorded in "Fangwai Tuzhi". For example, there is more than one place in Tianmen Mountain, and the most famous one now is of course Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie.

Tianmen Mountain in Ningxiang County has various complex caves of various sizes. Some caves have penetrated deep into the underground to form a river. Now this area has been developed into an open scenic area, and tickets are not sold, and this place cannot be circled with walls to sell tickets.

Everyone walked along the path halfway up the mountain and walked forward for a while. They saw a cave called Ziyun Cave, with a sign standing inside: "There are often gods and immortals coming and going in this cave, and the auspicious light and purple air are often bathed, so they are called Ziyun Cave." The sign is written without even the word "Legend" before the introduction, and the tone is serious, making it seem like gods and immortals often come.

The cave offers Bodhisattvas. According to the style of the statue, it should be Amitabha Buddha, with the two sides being the birthday star and Ksitigarbha, which is a bit uncommon.

Walking further from Ziyun Cave, there is another Chaoyang Cave. The entrance of the cave has a wall and a door is built, and the characters Chaoyang Temple are written in three big words. This is actually a temple built in a cave. There is a door lock hanging outside. The people inside have obviously gotten off work. Zhuang Mengzhou said: "Let's go in and take a look."

Shanni wondered, "Mr. Zhuang, where are you taking us? Don't we have to rush back to Qingaotai to get the car? We also have to find someone to ask as soon as possible, what time is now?"

Xian Hao looked up at the sky and said, "It's about nine o'clock in the evening."

Zhuang Mengzhou: "When you go to the temple to find the power supply to charge your phone, you have to check the exact date and time, the focus is on where we are and how we are."

Xian Hao didn't have much effort to pry open the lock, but it was not broken. Several people entered the temple. The Chaoyang Cave is quite spacious, and as soon as they entered the door, there was a main hall, which was worshipped by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Of course, when building a temple in the cave, you have to connect to the power supply. There are cabinets and tables used by staff next to them, and sockets are available at the corner of the table. The leader came first and asked Zhu Shanxian to charge his phone first. He only brought a charger and power bank, but it would take a while to turn on because the phone was completely out of power.

Taking advantage of this, everyone walked around the cave for a while and found that there was a hole. There was a narrow passage in the left corner of the hall at a very steep angle. The passage was also built with stone steps, and a sign was also set up at the entrance: "Tongtian Cave. The passage between the gods and immortals and the heavens and the world."

Zhuang Mengzhou was amused when he saw this brand. Tan Hanchuan quipped: "Why don't you go to Tantan too?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "What are you talking about? It's important to be busy with important things... Lao Zhu, are you opening your phone?"

Zhu Shanxian's voice came and said, "It's turned on. It's 9:19 pm on January 2nd. There is no signal in the cave. If you want to locate it, you have to go out to check the map... I'll charge it for a few more minutes."

They entered the Qingaotai Fangwai World on the afternoon of December 30th, and stayed there for more than half a year. After they came out, it was the evening of January 2nd, and three and a half days had passed. The New Year's Day holiday was only three days. On January 2nd, the class of the class was already there, and everyone had to skip the class for one day or skip the class for one day. Fortunately, the problem was not too serious.

Zhuang Mengzhou: "You have to use your phone for a while when you go out. You charge until 9:30 first, and then we will leave."

Everyone waited for about ten minutes in Chaoyang Cave, then left here and locked the door again. Before leaving, Zhuang Mengzhou took the lead in bowing to the Bodhisattva in the Buddha's niche to thank him, and also put a hundred yuan in the merit box.

When he arrived outside the cave, he had a signal. Zhu Shanxian opened the electronic map and said, "Our location is indeed in the Tianmen Cave Scenic Area of ​​Ningxiang County. It is more than 50 kilometers away from Qingaotai in Jingyang County. I checked the navigation just now and it took about 80 kilometers to drive there." As he spoke, his cell phone vibrated constantly, and he received several text messages and WeChat prompts in succession.

Shangni: "Where do we get a car? There is no one in this place."

Zhu Shanxian: "The electronic map shows that there is a village walking left along the road at the foot of the mountain, which is actually only more than 400 meters away from us."

Why didn't they see the lights of the village just now? Because the village is on the other side of the mountain range. Everyone went down the mountain and walked in that direction along the road. On the right side of the road was a large pond, and then there was a pavilion and a parking lot. This was not a popular attraction, and it was already very late, and there was no car in the parking lot.

In the open space between the parking lot and the foot of the mountain, there is a small sinkhole with a diameter of about twenty meters and a depth of five or six meters. It is surrounded by railings outside, and you can still hear the sound of running water from the bottom of the pit near it. You can see a cave at the bottom of the sinkhole leading to the depths of the ground. The steps were built here to go down to visit, but now the road is blocked and tourists are prohibited from entering.

This is really a mountain with seven orifices. There are countless holes underground and a road passes through the mountains. There is no need to make a tunnel, because there is a natural huge arch hole in the middle of this small mountain range, so Tianmen Cave is named after it. There are various cliff carvings around the arch hole, and many Buddhist niches have been built, but they are all relatively recent.

Following the road through Tianmendong, the village was a village. There were many cars parked by local villagers on the road. Zhuang Mengzhou said: "Let's find a place to have dinner first, and see which restaurant is still on, Teacher Ding is hungry."

Bi Xuecheng: "Shouldn't we find a car first?"

Ding Qi: "Look for the hotel owner to help rent a car."

If it was an ordinary village, there would probably be no place to find food at this point, but at least it was a scenic spot. They found a hotel with the door still open, the lights were still on, and the sign "Farmer's Wild Game" was hung. This is the villager's own business, and it doesn't matter if it's open. Everyone knocked on the door and said they wanted to have a meal, so the boss and his family made it.

It was winter, but they did not sit in the house, but instead of sitting in the yard, they put in two tables, ordered a few pots, and ate very hot. The location of this restaurant is very special. Beside a stream at the cliff, there is flowing water on one side of the yard, and the stream actually flows into the mountain.

Looking down the stream to the mountain, there is also a cave. When the stream flows in, it becomes an underground river. The water also has large stones with footsteps arranged along the wall of the cave. It should be a road for people to enter the cave. According to the boss, when you pass through this cave entrance, there is a passage that can penetrate from the other side of the mountain, and the underground river flows to no avail.

The chef is the boss's wife, and the one who serves the food is the boss's mother. When the old lady saw their outfit, she said, "Did you get lost in the cave and explore the road, and you have only crawled out now? It's so lucky! I tell you, the caves in this mountain are too complicated, and there is no place to open roads, so you must not drill around!"

The old lady entered the house, and Zhuang Mengzhou handed the boss a cigarette and asked, "Are there many tourists here? I see that there are no inns in the village."

The boss said: "My mother is old and she speaks a little scary. Don't mind it, but it is really dangerous to drill caves randomly. If something happens, you hikers should also pay attention to it... There are not many tourists in this season. Usually, people come on holidays, but they all go back that day, so there is no need to live in the village."

Zhu Shanxian: "Boss, can you help us find a car to Jingyang County High-speed Railway Station? Since you are a scenic spot, someone should be doing the tourist bus business, right?"

Boss: "Nine people, you need a loaf of bread. How much do you pay?"

Zhu Shanxian: "It's over 80 kilometers, and you may have to come back empty. It's 160 kilometers. You can follow the normal price."

The boss took out his cell phone and called them, negotiated the price for them, and it took a few minutes to get it done. Someone drove to pick them up after they finished their meal. Ye Yanxing sighed, "Master is right, it's better to have a meal first."

The three disciples looked at each other and gave them the same feeling, which was two words - calm. Walking through the Qin Gaotai World, I came to a strange place inexplicably, with dark and dark caves everywhere, and there were no people and lights. I only found a ruined temple without anyone else. If it were someone else, I would have caught it.

But looking at the elders, they were completely calm and quickly got everything done. Calmness may come from self-confidence, and self-confidence comes from ability. All the elders are old people, as if no matter what they encounter, love becomes very simple in front of them.

In fact, the three disciples, including Shang Ni, the uncle who was not very reliable in the past, have now been trained. After more than half a year of traveling to Qin Gaotai, such a world has been discovered. What else can I panic when I encounter other things?

The three of them were secretly sighing, and Shang Ni suddenly shouted: "Boss, where did you buy this pot of small wild fish?"

The boss replied at the entrance of the yard: "I didn't buy it, I caught it in the small river next to me today, it's fresh!"

The so-called small wild fish are mixed fish without distinct varieties. Because the fish are very small, they are sold together. Zhuang Mengzhou whispered: "There are also zither fish in it. I was just sighing that it was not easy to eat it, but I didn't expect it to be there again in a blink of an eye!"

The zither fish is almost extinct in Qinxi, but there is also a small river next to this farm restaurant. They eat what they just caught today. The zither fish is not a very famous specialty. Apart from the locals, few people have heard of it. It is far from Qinxi. The zither fish that came from the small river are mixed with mixed fish and sold as wild fish. No one pays special attention, and no one uses it to process dried zither fish.

Tan Hanchuan pointed to the cave next to him with chopsticks and said, "This small river connects to the underground cave, and the fish in the cave cannot be caught, which is also a kind of protection."

It was already past ten o'clock after dinner. They took a van driven by the hotel owner, the second uncle. Before they arrived at the high-speed rail station, they got off at the head of Qinxi Bridge. When they walked to the river beach under the stone wall, it happened to be half past eleven. At the night, they looked at the stone walls of Qingao Mountain and the hidden cave entrance of the cliffs. They inexplicably felt very unreal, as if they were a different life.

The three cars they drove were still parked there. Fortunately, the flow rate in Qingaotai is different from that outside. They have spent more than half a year. If it were more than half a year outside, no one would steal the car, these three cars would have been washed away by the summer flood, and everyone's work or school status might have to be lost. Relatives and friends have called the police early!

From this perspective, everyone could escape the disaster. The three cars they drove, Zhu Shanxian, Tan Hanchuan, and Ding Qi, were the drivers. Zhu Shanxian walked over and hit the door of his car, and frowned and said, "Someone has pried the lock!"

Tan Hanchuan also reached out to get the four door handles of his car, nodded and said, "One door in this car has been pried open."

Ding Qi didn't reach out to try it, and then smiled bitterly: "My car is inevitable, but fortunately the window was not smashed."

It is strange if you park your car in this secluded place for three days and three nights, and there is no surveillance around it, so it would be strange if you don’t get stolen. Now there are not many cases of stealing the car directly, because the target is too big and all kinds of information have been connected, so it is not easy to sell the stolen goods, but it is not easy to steal things in the car. If anyone accidentally put a bag on the seat of the car, the glass may be smashed in such a place.

Xian Hao shook his head and said, "Why not smash the glass?"

The river beach is full of stones. It is the most convenient thing to steal things from the car and smash glass. Why do you have to try to pry the lock so hard? Moreover, the lock is not broken, and it seems very clever. If you don’t even see that the lock has been pried over, which is even more unusual.

As the saying goes, something abnormal will happen. Zhu Shanxian immediately made a gesture of silence to everyone and pointed to the three cars again, meaning to check it carefully, but don’t speak.

Visual inspection combined with spiritual scanning, there was no one hidden in the car, nor was there anything lost. The fuel tank, circuit, engine, tire, and brake system were not abnormal. Zhu Shanxian took out something from the air conditioning inlet of his car, and showed it to everyone with a serious expression.
