Chapter 709 Liu Zhen
After paying homage to Xianwang, I took my friends to see the stone tablets where dignitaries from past dynasties came here to pay their respects, as well as the rural covenants and rules carved by the villagers to protect the cemetery and the forest. After getting the information about the poor management of Xianshi Sauce Garden Factory,
, Zhou Zhi took the car back with his friends, got off the car at the foot of Anle Mountain, and everyone started climbing the mountain.
Jiachuan has a hilly landform, and there is only one higher mountain ten miles west of the city. In ancient times, it was called Anle Mountain, Shaomin Mountain, and because it was shaped like a penholder, it was also called Bijia Mountain.
The Jiachuan people’s favorite way to play is to call friends in the spring. Starting from the county, walk five miles to Anleshan Primary School, then cross the deep pond dam next to the gas transmission station and walk on the country dirt road, and then walk five miles.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, it is another five miles to go up the mountain. After passing through the Jiudao Turn, Kal Stone, Supporting Stone, Jiulian Cave, Chuanfeng Cave, and bypassing the Immortal Stone on the main peak, you can reach Wangxiang Terrace and see the Tianfu Tree.
There are many scenic spots around here. After sightseeing, you can have a vegetarian meal at the ancient temple Yuntai Temple, or bring your own cold meal at Wangxiang Terrace. After eating and drinking, go down the mountain along the cliff carvings. At the foot of the mountain
A bowl of water above the Yanzhenguan ruins was filled with the mountain spring, and then he followed the country stone road all the way down to the Hongshui River, and walked all the way back to Jiachuan City amidst the golden rapeseed flowers on the left and right.
A spring outing of thirty miles round trip is not a short journey. Most families need to leave early in the morning and come back in the evening.
Many places on the mountain are quite dangerous. The government doesn't have much money to repair them now. They basically retain their original flavor. In Zhou Zhi's eyes, everything is natural and lovely.
Jiudaohuai is the first dangerous point. The mountain road here is narrow and steep, with several zigzags drawn back and forth. The road turns nine times in total, hence the name.
Looking from the bottom up, every two friends have lost their direction, which is quite interesting.
The top of Jiudaoguai is the Kar Stone. There are two huge rocks blocking the way, one on the left and one on the right. There is a stone gap in the middle. There are several stone stairs on the stone gap. It is difficult for people who are a little fat to get over. Fang Wenyu and Yang He went up first.
Now, I sit on the top of the stone and pull my friends upward.
It was the first time for Jiang Shuyi and Yang He to climb this mountain, and they were full of novelty.
Green cypresses are not withered, dragons are skinny, stone springs are still in the cold light of the mirror.
A dozen people can squeeze into Chuanfeng Cave, and you can also see the rock formation structure of Anle Mountain. There are deposited pebbles and small shell fossils in the Danxia landform, but the small shells have been picked out and played with by people.
"There are many versions of Liu Zhen's story. Many legends about Jiachuan are also related to him. The story is roughly that Liu Zhen was from the Sui Dynasty. At first, he was just an ordinary scholar. He lived in Yanshang, Xianshi Literacy Field, Jiachuan County.
.
The green peaks lean across the white clouds, and the traces of the real people of the Sui Dynasty have faded away.
It is also very clear to see the county seat from under the Immortal Stone. The Hongshui River meanders under Anle Mountain, flows through a hilly area and then enters the river at Ma Street. The intersection of the two rivers is the Jiachuan County seat.
"According to historical records, Liu Zhen, courtesy name Shanqing, was born in Mianzhu or Shifang. During the Kaihuang period, that is, the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he lived in Anle Mountain. One day, he took his Alchemy Sutra Zhongpan, sealed it in a stone chamber, and said: '
In the next sixty years, a sage will take it.' After saying this, I looked up at the sun in April and ascended to immortality."
"In addition to ancient people's notes, there are also local legends, which is even more interesting."
"We just visited Xian Wang, and he left a poem "Inscribed on Mount Anle" from that time, which said:
Climbing up Chuanfeng Cave, you can see a field at the foot of Anle Mountain, which looks like the footprints of a giant. It is a relic left by an immortal.
"Then time passed in a blink of an eye, and the world also changed its master. By the time of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor heard about this and sent an envoy to Jiachuan to search for it. Sure enough, they found the remains left by Liu Zhen in the Bailu Cave.
After the emissary presented the Alchemy Sutra Zhongpan to the emperor, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict to build a temple on the mountain, and the emperor inscribed a plaque saying: 'Yan Zhen'. This is the origin of the Yanzhen Temple ruins at the foot of Bijia Mountain."
You have to pass the supporting stone here, which is actually a stone crack. The stone crack is densely packed with wooden sticks. According to Jiachuan custom, after supporting the wooden sticks here, the whole family will not have back pain this year.
When they came out of the cave, Zhou Zhi began to tell stories about the mountain.
"After ascending to the throne, I did not forget my hometown. I descended to the palace of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty that day. The historical record is: 'The emperor was surprised and sighed at the strange thing. He rode to Hejiang County to ask for the truth.' The county magistrate was shocked when he received the emperor's edict.
So Liu Zhen's deeds were 'copied and heard'. When the emperor knew about it, he ordered the Lord to save money, and during the Hongshou period, he built the upper, middle and lower temples in Anle Mountain. Now only the upper temple remains, which later evolved into
Went to Yuntai Temple on the mountain."
Standing at the edge of the sky, you can see all the valleys from your feet.
When we get here, we start to see more cultural scenery. The first is a cave, Jiulian Cave.
It is said that there was an immortal here who practiced Taoism in the past, and the stone bed and stones were all transformed from his items back then.
This section of the road goes around the first small pen peak of Anle Mountain. After passing here, it is an easy-to-walk flat road. The second main peak is the center of the pen stand, which is shaped like a great immortal, leaning against the mountain wall and sitting upright.
You can see it clearly even in Jiachuan County.
"This poem is about an immortal who lived in Jiachuan, named Liu Zhen."
After everyone felt the cool breeze blowing in the wind tunnel for a while, they walked back to the main road and headed towards the third peak.
This is called "Immortal Stone".
This hole is very "flat", that is, the space is huge but the height is very low. You have to kneel to crawl in. There is a stone as big as a bed inside, and there are some large and small stones around it.
The boys are brave, and Liang Hong is also brave. They are now standing on the edge of the cliff outside the path, holding hands in a relay, leading the girls over cautiously.
There is no way to reach the misty sky, but the bones of the immortal are preserved to the point of criticism."
The girls couldn't hold back their curiosity, so they got in and climbed around.
The road becomes narrower as you go forward. The most dangerous point is a ridge similar to Huashan's "Carp Back". There are steep cliffs on both sides. The middle path can only stand on, so it is called "narrow footboard".
There is also a small hole on the main peak. This hole magically penetrates the east and west sides of the main peak. During the short period of time at noon, the temperature difference on both sides of the foothills always causes the air to flow and maintains a cool breeze for a long time, so it is called "
"Through the Wind Tunnel".
"Elbow, tell us quickly."
Jiang Shuyi was a little confused: "Is there really such a thing?"
"Most of them are affiliated, right?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "I'm not sure, but there is indeed such a record in the notes of the Tang Dynasty. And there are many miracles on the mountain caused by this."
Liu Zhen's father died in her early years, and she was the only mother in the family. Liu Zhen taught in a private school in the city, and went out to collect firewood every morning and evening. Mother and son depended on each other.
In her free time, Liu Zhen always went to the Hongshui River or the mouth of the bridge to play. There, she met a short Taoist with a white beard. Liu Zhen invited him to sit in the library, and the two talked about poetry and painting.
, playing the piano and playing chess.
The Taoist knew everything about astronomy and geography, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and was very different from ordinary country old people, so the two became friends.
One day, Liu Zhen asked him: 'Taoist Master and I have known each other for a long time, but we still don't know our surname and where we live?'
