When the group arrived at the foot of Ziwei Mountain, the carriage could not go up the mountain, so Zuo Junmo handed the carriage and two other horses to the accompanying servants to guard them, and the four of them walked up the mountain.

Last time I came here, it was the first lunar month, this time I came back in late autumn, and the scenery in the mountains was very different.

Half of the mountain top is almost dyed red by maple leaves, and from a distance it looks like clusters of burning flames.

"Ziwei Mountain, I thought it was named after the crape myrtle flower. From this point of view, it is more appropriate to call it Maple Leaf Mountain!" On the way up the mountain, Yang Ruoqing said with emotion after enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountain.

Zuo Junmo led the way. Hearing this, he turned to smile at her and said: "The name of Ziwei Mountain comes from the Ziwei star in the sky. According to legend, the sorcerer who practiced Taoism in Ziwei Cave was also called Ziwei Cave.

He is also called the Venerable Ziweidong."

Ziwei Cave Man?

Yang Ruoqing suddenly thought of the picture of cavemen she saw in the textbook and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, Chen'er's words diverted Zuo Junmo's attention. He pointed ahead and sighed: "Originally, I thought that Mianniu Mountain within a few hundred miles had the most mountains and the most precipitous cliffs in our area. I didn't expect that Ziwei Mountain also had the most mountains.

There are many steep peaks."

Everyone followed Chen'er's guidance and looked not far away, and saw two cliffs standing opposite each other, stretching straight into the sky.

"Wow, these two cliffs are really weird. At first glance, it feels like two tectonic plates squeezed out from the ground. They are so dangerous that they are about to fly into the sky." Yang Ruoqing looked up.

He nodded.

Zuo Junmo said: "The locals call it Two Fingers Peak."

Two-finger peak?

Yang Ruoqing raised her two fingers and gestured, hey, they really look alike!

"No one has been able to go up to these two finger peaks so far, and there is no point in going up, because nothing but bare rocks are still rocks. However, there are people who are not afraid of death who have explored the bottom of these two finger peaks."

Zuo Junmo's voice sounded again.

"Uncle Zuo, dad, mom, I want to go to Two Fingers Peak to have a look, is that okay?" Chen'er said suddenly.

Looking at his shining eyes, none of the three adults refused.

Since we are all going up the mountain, we naturally can’t spoil the children’s interest.

"Okay." Yang Ruoqing nodded gently.

Zuo Junmo put his arm around Chen'er's shoulders and walked towards Two Finger Peaks. Luo Fengtang came over and took Yang Ruoqing's hand, following behind.

Zuo Junmo turned into a tour guide and introduced the Two Fingers Peak to everyone while walking. Soon everyone came to the Two Fingers Peak and could not go any further because there was a steep cliff in front of them.

"These two peaks are like two fingers resting on the cliff. They are gathering together as they go up. It reminds me of my sister making a scissor hand gesture towards me." Standing on the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind was very strong.

Chen'er said with a smile, her eyes as bright as stars.

Zuo Junmo smiled and patted Chen'er's shoulder gently.

Chen'er looked down at the bottom of the bottom, which was bottomless and shrouded in white mist, "Uncle Zuo, has anyone ever been down there?"

Zuo Junmo said: "There are brave, careful and skilled herb collectors who have gone down there, but they can't go down to the bottom. The herb collectors say that the further you go down, the lower the visibility becomes. All kinds of thorns and vines make it difficult to move, and there are snakes, insects, rats, and ants."

It's rampant and the miasma is deep."

"There are spiders as big as the mouth of a bowl, centipedes as long as chopsticks, mice as big as cats..."

"Hiss!" Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but gasped.

She is not afraid of dead people, but she is afraid of mice.

No matter how big they are, as long as they are mice, even hamsters are afraid of them.

Luo Fengtang raised his arms and put his arms around Yang Ruoqing's shoulders to express comfort.

Zuo Junmo saw the two people here from the corner of his eye. He suddenly remembered Yang Ruoqing's fear of mice, and a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes.

"Uncle Zuo, go on, is there anything weird or weird there?"

For Chen'er who has an adventurous spirit, rats, centipedes and snakes are nothing to be afraid of.

Zuo Junmo showed a hint of hesitation and couldn't help but look at Yang Ruoqing again.

Yang Ruoqing said hurriedly: "Brother Zuo, I'm fine. You can continue to talk about yours. Besides, Tang Yazi and I are also very interested."

Zuo Junmo pondered for a moment and said: "What weird things are there at the end of the river? My uncle really can't tell. Maybe someone has seen them, but the people who have seen them have not come up again."

"A long time ago, I heard that some people went down to collect herbs. The herbs growing further down the cliff became rarer, and there were even blood lingzhi."

"It is said among the herb collectors that there is a tree at the bottom of the mountain that can eat people."

Hearing this, Chen'er smiled. Although his eyes were full of surprise, he was young and energetic and obviously didn't believe that there were trees in the world that could eat people.

If it was said that sharks can eat people and whales can swallow people and boats together, he would believe it without hesitation, because he had witnessed it with his own eyes at sea, and he was an expert in hunting whales!

Trees eat people?

What to eat? Does the tree have a mouth?

How to digest and excrete after eating?

Thinking of this series of questions, Chen'er smiled and shook his head gently, and did not defend Zuo Junmo. This was the demeanor and respect he maintained for his elders.

Zuo Junmo also knew that Chen'er didn't believe it, but in fact, why didn't he himself?

However, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing behind them looked at each other, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

They both chose to believe it!

As for the reason, it is very simple. When they went back to explore the Tomb of the Empress, they experienced many things that were beyond the norm, such as the eyeless piranha, and the soul of the child locked in the Ghost Tower...

Worlds, full of wonders.

"Whether it's true or not, we have to be careful when we go to the tomb later," Luo Fengtang said.

Everyone nodded.

Luo Fengtang looked at Chen'er again and warned in a deep voice: "Today I am bringing you to practice. Don't be careless and be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship."

Chen'er quickly calmed down and stood up straight, "Yes!"

Yang Ruoqing took a look at the sky. It was very good. The sun had just risen from the east, so she suggested: "Let's go into the cave!"

Everyone nodded and headed straight towards Ziwei Cave without further delay.

Ziwei Cave is really an inconspicuous cave entrance from the outside, and it can accommodate three adult men of Luo Fengtang's stature walking through it side by side.

After entering the cave, there is a different world inside.

Underfoot are rough stone steps that stretch gracefully down. On both sides are various strange-shaped natural stalactites, some with teeth and claws, or enchanting and charming, like a strange and bizarre world.

The further we walked in, everything outside was far behind us, and it became quieter inside, so quiet that we could even hear the sound of water dripping on the stones.

"This place is indeed suitable for practicing Taoism. You can stay away from the turmoil of the mortal world and have a pure mind." Chen'er said excitedly.

This was his first time to come to such a place, and everything he saw was quite novel. Occasionally, he would stop and reach out to touch the smooth and cool stones, sighing in his heart at the wonder of the Creator.

"Qing'er, Chen'er, it's a little slippery ahead, so be careful where you step."
