Masterful appearance

"Lingshan fairy tree?!" Yue Qianling looked at the porter curiously and asked in puzzlement.

"It's over there, not far away. You can go and have a look. It's actually a ginkgo tree. However, the Tianshi Cave is the place where Zhang Tianshi, the founder of Taoism, practiced, created, manifested, emerged, and was buried. This tree is Zhang Tianshi. Hand-planted, Taoism regards it as the treasure of Zhenshan. It has been 800 years since the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, Zhang Tianshi sat cross-legged in the cave and accidentally saw the vast plains and forests and cottages under the mountain. I planted the ginkgo tree with my own hands before, and the ginkgo tree immediately flew up to ten feet long, like a green screen, locking the spiritual energy of the mountain, and Zhang Tianshi finally got the Dao."

"A tree from 800 years ago!" Yue Qianling smiled with great interest. "Then I really want to see it."

Although the legend cannot be verified, it is an indisputable fact that the Taoist afforestation of Qingcheng Mountain has been inherited from generation to generation, making Qingcheng Mountain a famous mountain in the world.

Leaving the porter's tea stand, according to the place he pointed, Chu Tianci found the fairy tree of Lingshan, standing in front of the tree, the three of them all opened their mouths at the same time, maybe they have never seen such a big tree before, Chu Tianci was a little shocked .

This ancient ginkgo tree is more than [-] meters high and seven meters in diameter. It takes six or seven people to embrace it. It seems to be slowly flowing rock mucus, which seems to be moving and not moving, very strange.

The shape from the root to the waist is like a funnel, and the main trunk is thick and branched, like a giant umbrella stretched in the air.

Chu Tianci frowned, quickly took out the picture of Tiancang in western Sichuan from his bag, pointed to the picture and said excitedly.

"Look, there is also this tree on the map of Tiancang."

"What's so strange about drawing a tree in the picture? This is a landscape painting, so why do you make such a fuss about the tree on it?" Yue Qianling glanced at it and said disapprovingly.

"Judging from the overall layout of this painting, although it is a landscape painting, this tree is obviously a bit overwhelming. From the artist's point of view, the person who painted this painting should be proficient in landscape painting, but this tree is clearly the fault." Qiu Nuo After reading it, I said it with confidence.

Chu Tianci nodded with a smile and agreed.

"My thoughts are the same as Qiu Nuo's. Before looking at this painting, I always felt that something was not quite right. Now that I see this tree, I finally understand that this tree does have the meaning of distracting others and completely destroying the artistic conception of the whole painting. "

"Brother Tianci, how could there be a failure in such an important painting!" Qiu Nuo said happily, his eyes brightened. "Could it be that the failure was left on purpose, and the clue is related to this tree!"

Chu Tianci smiled and looked up at Tianshi Cave and said.

"I thought so too, because in the cave of Tianshi, the direction Zhang Tianshi's palm pointed to happened to be the location of this tree."

Seeing Chu Tianci and Yue Qianling singing together, Yue Qianling secretly pursed her lips and stared at Chu Tianci with extremely resentful eyes.

"Then ask this tree where the Ming Tombs are."

Chu Tianci didn't understand the meaning of complaint in Yue Qianling's words, and said with a smile.

"No matter where the clue is, it must have something to do with this dragon head wood."

After Chu Tianci finished speaking, he walked around the ginkgo tree, and then looked at the other trees around. Judging from the size of the trees, the surrounding trees were obviously much smaller than the ginkgo tree, but even so, it is estimated that the planting age is very old , after Chu Tianci walked through the surrounding woods for a while, he suddenly thought of something.

I ran to the ginkgo tree and climbed up without saying a word. I was born in the mountains. I have been doing things like climbing trees to dig out bird nests since I was a child, so I climbed to a height of more than ten meters in a short time, and then went down. At a glance, the corners of his mouth raised again.

"I knew I read it right. The trees surrounding the ginkgo tree were not planted randomly. From my height, I can clearly see that these trees are centered on the ancient ginkgo tree and arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams."

"It's nothing to be curious about. This is Mount Qingcheng, the birthplace of Taoism. Planting trees according to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams is also reasonable. Why are you so excited?" Yue Qianling raised her head and said loudly.

Chu Tianci climbed down from the tree and said with a smile while raising the dragon head wood in his hand.

"Of course, I'm not only happy because these trees are arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams. Look at this dragon head tree, and then look at the surrounding trees. What do you find?"

Yue Qianling and Qiu Nuo looked at the dragon head wood in Chu Tianci's hand, and then at the tree next to it. Qiu Nuo was about to speak, but Yue Qianling rushed to speak.

"It's all sycamore wood! You just said that the clue must be related to this dragon head wood. Judging from the texture and color of the wood, this dragon head wood is made of one of the trees. Could it be... We really found the right place?!"

Qiu Nuo just smiled happily, but looked around and said sadly.

"Brother Tianci, if it is really related to these trees, there are at least a thousand plane trees, big and small, so how do you know which tree it is?"

"Let's make a calculation based on the clues we already know." Chu Tianci lowered his head and thought for a while and said calmly. "The person who left this clue hid the secret in this forest, but the one pointing to this forest is the stone statue of Tianshi Zhang in the cave of Tianshi... the stone statue of Tianshi Zhang...."

"Just now I took a closer look at the Tianshi Cave, and there is nothing special about the stone statue."

"Yes!" Chu Tianci interrupted Yue Qianling. "The seal held in the stone statue's hand!"

"Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal?!" Yue Qianling asked curiously.

"Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal is one of the seals used by celestial masters of the Zhongzheng School of Taoism. It is said to be left by Zhang Daoling, the ancestor celestial master. Five buckets of rice once set up 24 rulers. Yangpingzhi was the celestial master's resident. The celestial master received all the merits, so its seal It is a symbol of Zhang Tianshi's status and power." Qiu Nuo has always been familiar with cultural relics, and blurted out without thinking.

Chu Tianci nodded and said with a smile.

"This seal is the main magic weapon handed down from generation to generation to restrain ghosts and gods. It is the treasure of the altar of Zheng Yizong. It is used for stamping the place where the signature is signed and the seal on the talisman when it is important. Only documents with this seal can be used. It is believed to have the ability to command ghosts and gods."

"Then what does this seal have to do with the clues of the Ming Tombs?" Yue Qianling still didn't understand.

"The seal on the stone statue is carved from stone, but the real seal is not made of stone."

"Yangping Zhidugong Seal, the jade quality is seven cents thick, the horizontal length is one and a half inches each, and the golden button." Qiu Nuo obviously has extraordinary talent in cultural relics appreciation, and he knows this seal well.

"Qiu Nuo is right. The Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal is made of jade, and the stone statue of the Heavenly Master points to the location of the fingers. This seal actually tells us where the clues are." Chu Tianci nodded and said.

"Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen, and I still don't understand what it means?" Yue Qianling asked anxiously.

"The other trees around this ginkgo tree are planted according to the five elements and eight trigrams. Jade belongs to gold in the five elements, and the direction of gold is the west, which means we have to go to the west." Chu Tianci introduced calmly.

"Brother Tianci, even if we know that it is in the west, there are many trees in the west, so I don't know which tree it is?" Qiu Nuo shook his head and said.

"Hehe, I already said how many faces does the stone statue of Zhang Tianshi have in the Tianshi Cave?" Chu Tianci asked back.

"Three... three sides!" Yue Qianling suddenly said with a cheerful smile. "I see, with the ginkgo tree as the center, the third tree to the west! The clue is there!"

According to these deduced clues, Chu Tianci quickly found the third tree in the west, which was no different from other trees around, except that there was a rock beside the tree, and there was a hollowed out stone depression under the rock, inside There is crystal clear spring water flowing.

There are dense Taoist scriptures engraved on the rock, which are reflected in the spring water. There is a stone eye under the stone concave. Chu Tianci touched it with his hand and said to himself.

"This stone eye is artificially made, the size..."

When Chu Tianci said this, he took out the dragon head wood and compared it with the stone eye, the size was just right. He looked up at the two people behind him, carefully inserted the dragon head wood, and it really matched perfectly.

The faucet wood is hollow, and after being inserted into the stone eye, spring water actually flowed out from the faucet, and the water level of the spring water filled in the stone concave dropped slowly. The inscription on the rock is completely different from before, and four characters are engraved in the place where the stone concave is exposed.

Mirror flower water moon!

Just now you could see the inscriptions on the entire rock wall reflected in the reflection, but now you can only see the stone statue carved in the middle of the rock wall.

Yue Qianling looked up at the stone statue on the rock wall, but she didn't see anything for a long time.

"I searched for a long time and found nothing!"

Chu Tianci stared intently at the stone statue reflected in the stone recess, and suddenly said casually.

"What do you see in it?"

"Brother Tianci, isn't it just a reflected stone statue?"

"Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water...Don't worry about other things, just look at this reflection, what do you see?" Chu Tianci asked thoughtfully.

Yue Qianling walked over and looked down for a long time, then tilted her head and said.

"Looking at it this way, it looks like a statue carved on a mountain."

"A statue is engraved on a mountain, and its reflection in the water...is this referring to a place?!" Chu Tianci frowned and said lightly.

"Brother Tianci, I...I do know a place that is exactly like this reflection." Qiu Nuo said uncertainly behind him.

"Where?" Chu Tianci and Yue Qianling asked almost at the same time.

"Sanjianghui reflects a world-famous stone statue, which is also carved on the mountain. The difference is that the mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain."

"Leshan Giant Buddha!" ​​Chu Tianci said excitedly as he looked at the reflection in the stone alcove and suddenly slapped his thigh. "This clue is really ingenious, and the clue is passed down without mentioning it. It is indeed the Leshan Giant Buddha!"

After listening to Yue Qianling, she looked at the reflection in the stone concave again, and finally understood what is called the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water. From the reflection alone, it really is a stone statue carved on the whole mountain, and the reflection is in the water, and the Leshan Giant Buddha is reflected in the Sanjiang River. It coincides with each other.
