the last priest

The majestic Qinling Mountains, the [-] mountains, the dense forest and vegetation are no more than five meters in front and back, and no one can see the accompanying people.Although the general direction can be determined, it is not easy to find a lake in this barren and inhabited mountain.

The Qinling Mountains at night belong to darkness, no matter how experienced people are, they dare not run around in the forest. What this land brings to people is not only legends and magic, but more importantly, it has influenced Chinese history for thousands of years. towards.

Daba Mountain in Qinling Mountains, there is another most important reason why Cha Wenbin came to this place: this is the sacred mountain that Chinese Taoist believers worship.If Kunlun, the "ancestor of mountains", opened the prelude to Chinese mythology, then the Qinling Mountains, known as "Nanshan", is the birthplace of Taoist culture.

In the eyes of Feng Shui experts, Kunlun is the ancestor of dragon veins, and Qinling Mountains is the north-south central axis of the land of China, which shows its importance in China's feng shui.

Winter is here, and the Guanzhong area north of the Qinling Mountains is cold, windy, and snowy. The green mountains and green waters are full of spring.People are busy fishing, sowing and harvesting, and enjoy the comfort and warmth like Yangchun in March.A mountain can easily change the pattern of China's natural environment, and its status is so prominent that it is admirable.

And it is still the same mountain range, Qinling gave birth to an ancient ethnic group that will create a great cause for thousands of years and unify the whole of China in the future. Facing the Qinling at this time, I am afraid that anyone will have to respect it in awe.This ancient ethnic group sheltered by the Qinling Mountains, who were called the Qin people more than 2000 years ago, embarked on a long journey of more than 500 years from the Qinling Mountains, and set off on the land of China. The curtain finally unified the fragmented land of China.The first feudal dynasty in history: Qin, thus was born!I am afraid that this is also an important reason for the origin of the name Qinling.

Numerous ancestor activities have created a large number of ancient relics in this land, and now they are hidden in mountains and dense forests, or buried under mudstone lakes.It was an era closest to legends, and there were too many unknown secrets hidden here.

Two thousand and five hundred years ago, in the Zhou Dynasty, there was a senior official named Yixi who was under the family of King Chukang of the Zhou Dynasty. He was well-read and knowledgeable.Later, he made a pass order at Hangu Pass at the foot of Qinling Mountains, and was the local parent official.

At that time, an old man came to this place on a green ox and got acquainted with Yixi.After Yixi's repeated pleas, the old man faced Qinling, stepped onto the Louguantai, and preached his "the root of all things, the master of kings, and the ultimate treasure of subjects" that has influenced generations to come for thousands of years.

Facing the erratic mist in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains, under the dim blue light, in the vast universe, all things in the world depend on each other, restrain each other, and the endless laws of nature surge in this old man's chest.

Finally, at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, the old man broke the habit of not explaining himself. He spread out the bamboo slips, and wrote the first line of words with black and shiny ink, which is enough to make future generations admire and worship: "Tao can be said, It is very Dao; the name can be named, and it is very famous." This "Tao Te Ching", known as the Taoist sacred book, came out.

The old man's name is: Lao Tzu.In Taoism, Lao Tzu is revered as the ancestor of Taoism, and he ranks among the Sanqing, and he is the Supreme Laojun!Before he said "one life is two, two is three, three is all things", no one has been able to use such concise and clear language to profoundly explain the natural relationship between the universe and all things.

The practice of Taoism is more often a spiritual practice, a comprehension of morality and understanding of nature.

500 years ago, Lao Tzu realized the "Tao Te Ching" here. What can Cha Wenbin get here today?

As a devout Taoist believer and head of a generation of Taoist sects, Cha Wenbin entered the Qinling Mountains as if he entered the world, and this land was destined to become his destiny.

The three of them stood guard in turns, while the rest rested. In this kind of old forest, dangers are hidden in invisible places.The weather in April is still a little cold, and there are no calls of insects in the woods, and it is extraordinarily quiet.According to Yu Dayong, the biggest enemy in the Qinling Mountains is the poisonous insects. The insects here are strange and extremely poisonous.

In the early morning, the fog shrouded the mountain, and it was necessary to wait until about ten o'clock before moving on. It was definitely a miracle that Xiao Baoya could walk out of this forest.

Because the target is determined to be the holy lake, the general direction can be chosen correctly, and the next step is the boring and dangerous crossing.The karst landform has made this area full of traps, and their actions are not fast, they only advanced twenty miles in a whole day.

For dinner, I had roast venison, which Chaozi ordered.This kind of black deer meat is very delicious, but it is very delicate. Tonight's camp is chosen to be by a pool under a small waterfall.

There is a ready-made stone platform beside this pool, and the grass is wet at night. It is very suitable to have such an open place for camping.

The deer was so big that all six of them hadn't finished eating it. Chao Zi specially left a leg to make snacks on the road tomorrow when roasting. This kind of black deer is not easy to get.

Chaozi was the first to stand guard. He was guarding the fire and focused on leaning on the "squeaky" deer legs. This kind of roasting method with pine branches is also called bacon. smell.

The second squad is Zhuo Xiong, who guards the middle post. With his and Chao Zi's abilities, he and Chao Zi can detect any slight noise within a distance of 1000 meters. With the addition of fires and guns, this camp is safe enough.

In the dead of night, Zhuo Xiong did not relax his vigilance at all, this is his professional habit.The snoring of the mountain in the tent was loud, Zhuo Xiong shook his head and held his gun to add some firewood to the fire.

Just as he was turning around to get firewood, there was a sudden "puchi", and he turned his head to see that the fire was extinguished.As he seemed to see a black shadow flashing past in front of him, Zhuo Xiong raised his gun and shot with good experience. A crisp sound of "bang" resounded in the originally quiet Qinling Mountains. Countless birds were frightened and soared into the sky. The sound of the birds made Zhuo Xiong lose the direction of his target.It was too dark, he couldn't see his fingers, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.

"What's going on?" Everyone in the tent was awakened by the shot.

Zhuo Xiong lowered his voice and said: "Something came over and put out the fire, so be careful."

The tense atmosphere spread instantly, and now they had four guns in their hands, surrounding Cha Wenbin in the middle. After a long time of silence, they turned on the flashlight.

The fire was wet with water, so it had to be lit again.After inspection, it was discovered that a series of human footprints had been left on the rocks by the river. The footprints were still wet, and the direction indicated that they had fled to the deep mountains.After counting, it was found that only Chaozi's deer legs were missing.

Cha Wenbin said with some dissatisfaction: "Barbecue in the mountains is the most likely to cause trouble, why are you so careless?"

Indeed, this time it was Chao Zituo who was growing up. Barbecue in the mountains is a taboo, and it is most likely to attract the attacks of carnivorous animals. He was blinded by the quietness of the past few days.

After careful inspection, Zhuo Xiong said: "This seems to be a human footprint. I saw that thing very fast, and it disappeared in a flash, and the gun was empty. Is there anyone here?"

Yu Dayong, who is familiar with this place, said: "Impossible. Even the most experienced herb pickers of the Daba Mountain generation in the Qinling Mountains dare not stay overnight. There will be people. Look, the footprints are quite human-like, but this generation is indeed passed down. According to the savages."

"Savage?"

"Yes, Savage. It is said that someone has seen it. I don't know if it is true or not. Be careful at night in the future. This place is very restless."

This night was completely unable to sleep after such a disturbance, so he simply waited until dawn.

When he was on the road during the day, Zhuo Xiong always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at them not far away, and Chaozi also had this feeling.

"Blind man, put the cover on the bright spot, there is a problem here."

Zhuo Xiong made a gesture of vigilance, and the two kept the team moving forward one after the other.At noon, Chaozi hunted two pheasants and one rabbit.That's what's so good in the mountain woods, there's plenty of game, what little Baoya eats is called Huan, and he keeps talking about how he came here by gnawing the bark back then.

Maybe it was because he ate too much, and he had a stomachache before leaving, so the kid went around to relieve himself under a big tree less than ten meters away from them. A stone the size of a brick fell from the sky, and Xiao Baoya screamed and fell to the ground Sorry.

Chaozi heard the movement, picked up the [-] big cover and rushed over to have a look. Xiao Baoya fell on the ground with his bare buttocks unconscious. He raised his gun to shoot, but was blocked by trees.Chaozi shot out with a stride, and then chased after the shadow in the direction where the shadow was fleeing. People behind kept shouting: "Don't chase, don't chase!"

Maybe he didn't hear it, maybe he just has that kind of personality, he must chase the prey to the end when he finds the prey.Sometimes this kind of personality is a good thing, and sometimes it is a bad thing.
