Chapter 710 Legend

The Taoist said: "My surname is Bai. I live in the banana forest halfway up Dingshan Mountain. Please come and play when you have time."

Liu Zhen loved to travel in her life and liked quiet places the most. When the Taoist said this, she wanted to go to Dingshan.

It was Qingming Festival and the library was on holiday. After breakfast, Liu Zhen remembered the Taoist's appointment and walked towards Dingshan.

Walking halfway up the mountain, he really saw a banana forest, but no houses. Just as he was wondering, he saw a large bluestone under the largest banana tree in front of him, and a white-haired ape, leaning on the bluestone and falling asleep.

The white ape's mouth opened slightly. When he exhaled, a red bead came out of his mouth as far as a foot without falling to the ground. When the white ape inhaled, the bead went back through its nose hole.

As he walked in and out, Liu Zhen was mesmerized.

He walked gently towards the white ape, and when he saw the beads running out of the white ape's mouth again, he took the beads with one hand. At this time, the white ape woke up and suddenly turned into a white-bearded Taoist.

When the Taoist saw it was Liu Zhen, he said, "Mr. Liu, please return the pearl to me quickly."

Liu Zhen saw that the white ape had turned into a Taoist with a white beard. The two had known each other for a long time, so she was not surprised, but she said, "I want to take a look at your pearl."

But the Taoist said: "This pearl is of great importance and cannot be looked at." After saying this, he came to snatch it.

Liu Zhen hurriedly hid the beads behind her back, and the Taoist went to grab the beads behind her. Liu Zhen hurriedly put the beads into her mouth. When the Taoist saw it, she quickly put her hand on Liu Zhen's throat and asked Liu Zhen to spit out the beads.

This is not bad, if it keeps growing up, the sky will break through?! At that time, Liu Zhen will not be able to bear the blame from the immortals?!

Thinking of this, Liu Zhen recited a mantra, and with a finger, the rock on which she practiced Taoism flew out of the Jiulian Cave in Anle Mountain, growing bigger and bigger in the air.

When the Taoist saw this, he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He sighed and said, "My white ape has practiced Tao for hundreds of years, but it turned out that it was for you, Liu Zhen!" After saying that, he fell to the ground and turned into a white ape again.

The ape rolled a few times and died.

Liu Zhen thought this was a sign from the immortals, so she stayed in the cave to practice."

Liu Zhen pointed again and saw that the rock was not slanted or crooked. It just flew up and pressed on the top of Dingshan Mountain. From then on, Dingshan Mountain never grew upward again.

When Liu's mother was happy, she said: "So fast, could my son become an immortal?"

"Yes." Zhou Zhi continued: "Liu Zhen went to Baimi Cave to practice for a year. Villagers and children nearby were often invited to watch Liu Laodao, which made Liu Zhen unbearable and had to find another place.

He wrote a poem: 'The long bamboo stick drags me to see the scenery, and I turn around nine times before I take ten steps. I get the true news in the cave, and a little light shines on the bullfight.' This poem is still engraved in Baimi Cave."

Liu Zhen thought to herself, I'm just playing with you, but you are so stingy and can't help but laugh.

Liu Zhen said: 'Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's not difficult to eat meat. In this way, you cook first, and I will go to Jiachuan City immediately and cut some meat back for you to eat.'

Returning to the library, Liu Zhen felt very sad and had no intention of teaching anymore, so she resigned from the library and traveled around.

After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the cave. He used his magic power and stepped on his left foot. He saw a footprint next to the cave. This was the footboard field at the foot of the mountain seen from the Chuanfeng Cave. Then two more feet followed.

Leshan stepped on two gaps and turned it into the shape of a penholder. Then he flew to Hejiang City and cut a piece of pork.

"Here, let's go to the elixir displaying stone. Legend has it that this is the place where Liu Zhen exposed the elixir."

"Finally, Liu Zhen traveled to the west of Jiachuan City and found that the mountains here are tall and beautiful, and the peaks look like lotus flowers. She was very happy, clapped her hands and said with a smile: 'Where else do I need to look, this is a good place!'

Liu Zhen carried the meat and rode the auspicious clouds back to the Xianding Mountain Cave, and placed the piece of fresh pork in front of her mother. When his mother saw it, she was so happy that she kept saying: "My son has really become an immortal! My son has really become an immortal."

He's become an immortal!'

When I wake up from the futon and dream far away, I feel like I am visiting Ananda from heaven."

"There is also a name here, called the 'Rock Eagle Dojo', because it is said that the aura of Liu Zhen's Dan Dan is still left on this stone, and the rock eagles like to fly here and gather, hence the name."

"Li Mingke, the instructor of Jiachuan in the Ming Dynasty, left a short article on the history of Anle Mountain, saying: 'This mountain was formerly known as Anle, the former residence of Liu Zhen in the Sui Dynasty. It has three peaks standing on the wall, stretching for dozens of miles, and many stone slabs are relics of the Tang and Song Dynasties.' He also left a poem saying:

The stele of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Pavilion are hidden at the end of the rock, where the weeds and flowers are trampled but not left behind.

The blue bird has turned into a pill in its mouth, and the white ape is approaching the cold purple platform.

When Liu Zhen saw it, she felt very regretful, but she could not save the white ape, so she had to bury the white ape and build a tomb with rubble. She bowed deeply to the tomb three times and then went back.

.

One morning, Liu Zhen's mother said: 'Zhen'er, for a Taoist like you, it's okay not to eat fat or meat. My mother is old and hasn't eaten meat for a long time. A meal is fine.'

This is a huge boulder two people high, located on the edge of the mountain road. From the mountain road, you can see that there are some thumb-sized holes on it, which are almost big enough to hold hawthorn pills for children. They are said to be tanning stones.

It's quite appropriate.

‘Son, Jiachuan City is so far away from us, aren’t you trying to coax me?’ His mother didn’t believe it at all.

So Liu Zhen dug two holes under the highest peak of the mountain, and brought her old mother in to support her. The upper cave was where he meditated, and the lower cave was where his old mother lived. It is said that to this day, the lower cave can still be used.

You can clearly see the kitchen, bedroom, stone bed, and water tank. It's the Jiulian Cave we just visited.

Feeling sleepy, Liu Zhen fell asleep leaning on a stone. When she woke up at midnight, she saw green mountains and green waters outside the cave, and a rainbow appeared in the east.

It didn't matter that he smiled, but the bead went down his throat at once.

Liu Zhen knew in her heart that this was because Bai Yuan had practiced Taoism in Dingshan for many years, which gave Dingshan some immortal energy. Now that he had become an immortal because of me, he continued to grow upwards regardless of everything.

Then he discovered a miracle. After swallowing the white ape's beads, his body became lighter and he no longer felt hungry.

Liu Zhen said: 'Mom, how can I coax you? When I cut the meat back, the water for your steamed rice hasn't boiled yet.'

From then on, Liu Zhen took care of her mother. When her mother passed away, she hid her belongings in Bailu Cave, left her last words to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and ascended to immortality."

Later, when he wandered to Baimi Cave, a heavy rain suddenly began, and Liu Zhen ran into the cave to hide from the rain.

After buying the meat, Liu Zhen flew into the sky with auspicious clouds. When she looked back at Dingshan Mountain in the distance, she realized that the mountain was much higher than before.

After Liu Zhen heard this, she immediately knelt down in front of her mother and said, "Thanks to my mother for the gift."

"That's the story."

The combination of fiction and reality, the comparison of legends and ruins, made it fresh and interesting for the friends.

The beauty of the beautiful mountain is gone, but the beauty remains, and people come to see the old traces with old eyes.

At this time Yang He spoke: "Baimi Cave is in Baimi Township. I heard that Liu Zhen used to take a bowl of rice from this cave every day to offer to her mother. That's how our Baimi Township got its name."

After passing the Shaidanshi, everyone entered the back mountain. The back mountain was covered by bamboo forest and sparse trees. Even though it was noon, it was very cool.

Along the way, we passed by Bailong Pond and Daerwo. Zhou Zhi also explained the legend here to everyone.

Daerwo is a stone carving on a cliff, facing Jiachuan River. There is a small Maitreya Buddha among the inscriptions.

It is said that when a woman comes here to play, she picks up a piece of mud and throws it to the cliff with her backhand towards Jiachuan. If the piece of mud hits the navel of the Maitreya Buddha statue, the woman will give birth to a son.
