"His date of birth is unknown. We only know that his hometown is in Jianchang. In addition, he was very depressed in his early years. For a short time, he also made a living by begging. This is very similar to the Hongwu Emperor. Such a third-grade Huaiyuan general
He was also mentioned in history books. He should have died during the Tianshun period."
"Tianshun?" Wang An tried hard to recall the reign name after hearing this.
"Zhu Qizhen's reign name. He had two reign names, one was Zhengtong and the other was Tianshun. He was captured during the Battle of Tumubao. During the eight years, his younger brother Zhu Qiyu replaced him as emperor."
"Oh, I know that the God of War Emperor almost wiped out the Ming Dynasty in the first battle, and later killed the most loyal ministers."
"Yes, that's him. It took a total of ninety-eight years from Hongwu to Tianshun. This General Zhou Huai has experienced seven emperors. According to our analysis of his bones, he is over ninety years old.",
"I saw information introducing him in the museum. It was said that he was taught unique skills by strangers and had the power to drag down two bulls. Is this also recorded in history books?"
"Several people have asked this question. You all seem to be very interested in this question. I have also checked some historical information, but there are very few that I can find. There are two possibilities for what I can find. One is
Zhou Dian gave it to him, Zhou Dian, you know, right?"
"Well, I've heard that he seems to be a crazy monk, and some say he's a master!" Wang Anxin said that it was indeed him.
"He looks like a monk, but he is both a Buddhist and a Taoist. Even Emperor Hongwu highly praised him and wrote poems specifically for him. Coincidentally, Zhou Dian's ancestral home is also Jianchang, and he is a fellow villager with Zhou Huai.
With the same surname, it is possible to pass on some of his skills.
Is this the second one? It could be a certain monk in Faxing Temple. This Zhou Huai may have led him in Faxing Temple for a period of time in the early years, served as a monk for several years, and learned some kung fu."
Wang An took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Professor Ma, then lit it for him.
Although he has quit smoking now, he still brings a pack of low-yield cigarettes with him when he goes out, just to encounter situations like this.
This Professor Ma has a relatively strong smell of cigarette smoke, and he is a heavy smoker.
"Thank you." Professor Ma said with a smile. "Young man, I would like to ask you, why are you asking about that ancient tomb?"
"Oh, to be honest, I heard about something recently. Someone was spending a lot of money to purchase an antiquities, 20 million. It is said that this antiquities came from the tombs of Zhouhuai. I was curious and wanted to come and take a look.
"
"Really? Can you tell me what kind of antiquities it is?" Professor Ma immediately became interested when he heard that it was an antiquities.
"It looks like a clay Buddha."
"The Buddha statue is made of clay. Clay Buddha statues from the Ming Dynasty would not be so valuable!" Professor Ma was slightly startled after hearing this.
"I just heard it from hearsay. It may not be true. Didn't those people who asked you mention it?"
"No, they even kept the purpose of asking about this ancient tomb secretive."
"You are an expert in archeology and history. Do you know Zhou Dian?"
"Don't you understand? This is a strange man. He was recognized by the emperor as an "immortal family" and even wrote biographies and poems for him. These things can be found in historical materials, and those legends are even more magical.
.
Although those stories have some mythical flavor, they also reflect from the side that this person must be a great person.
It is rumored that the place where he practiced and ascended to heaven is not far away from Kuang Mountain, on the Jinxiu Peak on the right side of the Immortal Cave. Emperor Hongwu ordered people to build the Royal Stele Pavilion and Visiting Immortal Pavilion on Kuang Mountain, and also rebuilt the Tianchi Temple.
However, Tianchi Temple has been abandoned, and what you see now is only the reconstructed one.
It's not very far from Kuangshan Mountain. If you have time, you can go there. Not only are there historical sites related to Zhou Dian, but they also have world-famous beautiful scenery. Kuanglu is the most beautiful place in the world, and it's worth going there.
Take a look."
"Kuangshan, I've heard of it a long time ago. It's time to go and see it." Wang An said with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Professor Mao, Wang An went to the hotel where he stayed to check out, and then immediately drove to Kuangshan. After a journey of not more than two hundred kilometers, he arrived at the town at the foot of Kuangshan and found a hotel to stay at. At this time, the sky was dark.
It's already evening.
Looking from a distance, Kuang Mountain looks like a silent giant standing there, and the surrounding clouds and mist are like his outer clothes.
When eating at a nearby restaurant in the evening, Wang An specifically chatted with the owner of the restaurant about Kuang Mountain and asked him about some of the historic sites such as the Tianchi Temple above.
"There are some famous names there. It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, a monk rode a white deer and ascended to heaven to become an immortal. That monk once practiced in Tianchi Temple. Later, Emperor Hongwu dedicated a special amount of money to build Tianchi Temple. Unfortunately, it has now been
Wasted!
Jinxiu Valley, Hanpokou, the Sandie Waterfall that is most worth visiting, and Kuangshan Mountain have so many places worth seeing that you can’t even finish them all in one or two days.”
"I have time, so I can stay for two more days." Wang An said with a smile.
"Well, it's worth staying here for two more days. You won't regret it for the rest of your life."
In the early morning of the next day, Wang An got up relatively early and started climbing after breakfast. This mountain is indeed full of beautiful scenery.
Wang An first went straight to Tianchi Temple, but when he arrived he was a little disappointed. The so-called Tianchi was just a small pool. The guardrails around the pool were covered with wishing ribbons. The water in the pool was quite clear.
There are many shiny coins inside. The temple at the back also seems to lack some sense of history. This is the Tianchi Temple that was later rebuilt.
Then he found the Imperial Stele Pavilion, which was dedicated to the Zhou Dian Immortal Stele made by Emperor Hongwu. The stone was hard, white and smooth. The four beams and pillars of the stone pavilion were thick, dignified, elegant and dignified.
The couplets engraved on the pillars of the pavilion read: "There are four clouds and nine rivers, one pavilion is misty and rainy, and thousands of valleys are filled with pine trees." "So if we look for traces from here, who can tell us about peace?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang An searched everywhere for monuments related to Zhou Dian, just like he went to Taihe Mountain to search for monuments related to Zhang Zhenren, but except for that one
Apart from the words on the stone tablet and the legend about him left in a temple, nothing related to it was found.
This inevitably made him a little disappointed. Fortunately, he couldn't find any historical sites and the beautiful scenery of Kuang Mountain did not disappoint him.
It is spring now, with lush vegetation all over the mountains and fields, various flowers blooming, and birds flying happily in the air.
Wang An saw the famous Sandie Falls from a distance. Because it had rained a few days ago, the water flow of the waterfall was relatively large. From a distance, an unpaved waterfall poured down from the top of the mountain. One waterfall with three waterfalls, like a waterfall.
The Milky Way falls.
It is indeed beautiful.
Seen up close, this waterfall is more spectacular than seen from a distance.
After the waterfall fell, the flowing water merged into a pool below. Standing on the observation deck nearby, you could feel the coolness of the water vapor blowing against your face. There were people holding umbrellas and rowing boats in the pool below wearing ponchos.
Wang An stood quietly on the viewing platform and looked up at the waterfall falling from a high place, feeling the drops of water coming down the road.
Suddenly his whole body trembled, and he thought of the sentence on his strange picture - "The blood boils at the top of the Tianhe River."
Does Tianhe refer to this waterfall?
Wang An stared at the waterfall hanging from the top. Isn't this just like a river falling from the sky?
"What does climbing to the top mean? Does it mean standing under a waterfall and letting the waterfall wash you? What about blood boiling? Your whole body should be cold under the impact of this water flow. How to make it boil? Even if it is boiling,
It will be extinguished by water, and water and fire themselves will not merge."
The text immediately appeared in Wang An's mind. He had already firmly recorded this short text in his mind and memorized it backwards and forwards.
Two sentences soon attracted his attention, "Take the red elixir internally and the fire dragon will be born."
The question comes again, what is this "Red Pill"?
He had made a special inquiry before and asked Zhao Zhiyuan for advice. The traditional Chinese medicine cinnabar is also called red pill, but the substance itself is toxic and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is hard to say whether eating it can make a fire dragon. It is not possible.
Eighty-nine times you will get sick.
The "red pill" in this article probably refers to a kind of pill, the kind that can make people's blood boil when taken first.
Wang An stood under the triple waterfall and thought a lot.
[You will gain some insights while watching the waterfall.]
I have some insights, but I also have more doubts.
Wang An looked at the waterfall. If there weren't other tourists around, he would have wanted to know what it would be like to try the so-called "Tianhe Summit" under the waterfall.
After leaving here, Wang An went to several other waterfalls, and he increasingly felt that the Tianhe mentioned in the text on the front of the picture was the waterfall in this mountain.
After coming down from the mountain and returning to the hotel, it was already afternoon and evening. After returning to the hotel, Wang An had been thinking about the things that had occurred to him today.
Tianhe is a waterfall and Red Pill is an elixir. From the perspective of the five elements, water is "Yin" and Red Pill is definitely "Yang". Is this the so-called "interaction of Yin and Yang"?
Why do we have to use waterfalls to wash away? Is it because the "red pill" is too powerful and needs to be resolved? It may be because of this reason.
So what exactly is "Red Pill"?
Wang An thought a lot that night. The next day, he went to Kuang Mountain again. He visited many places, saw some beautiful scenery and historical sites, and at the same time observed the waterfalls in the mountain. In the past two days, he
I have found a waterfall with almost no one nearby.
Because of the terrain around the waterfall, it can only be seen from a distance, and the place where the waterfall falls cannot be seen unless it is aerial photography.
The location was chosen, and he was going to try the feeling of climbing to the top of Tianhe tomorrow.
On the morning of the third day, Wang An slowly approached the waterfall. The location of this waterfall was quite special, with steep rocks and dense forests on both sides. Perhaps considering the protection of the natural environment, no viewing area was built nearby.
platform.
Looking at the cliff of more than 20 meters, Wang An jumped down, raised his hand and grabbed the rock protrusion, let go, and the person fell down. He grabbed it again, swung his body in mid-air, touched the rock with his toes, and unloaded the falling rock.
Apply force, and then continue to let go.
After a while, I arrived at the bottom of the cliff and walked close to the waterfall. The water fell from a high place and hit the pool with a loud crashing sound.
When you look at the waterfall from a distance, it looks like a group of people practicing in vain. When you get closer, you will find that the waterfall is actually very wide, and the fine water mist comes towards you, hitting your face with a cool feeling and refreshing.
Wang An stretched out his hand and tried it. The water hit his arm with strong force. The spring water was still a little cold.
Even though water is soft, it also contains terrifying power.
"Try?" Wang An thought for a while, and did not go into the water directly. Instead, he practiced the Five Animals Opera on the spot, stimulating his own energy and blood and making his whole body warm. Then he took off his coat and stood at the waterfall.
below.
The cool water suddenly fell on him with great momentum. It didn't take long for him to feel that his body heat began to weaken. After all, he was just standing in the water and not moving.
He felt the power of the water hitting him. The water fell on his head, on his shoulders, and on the back of his ridge, constantly washing his body. This force was continuous.
After a while, he walked out from under the waterfall. He felt a chill all over his body, and he immediately practiced the Wu Qin Xi twice to dispel the chill.
The running water in spring already has a bit of coolness, and it is constantly washing away. Although Wang An's current physique is far better than that of ordinary people, he does not dare to overestimate it.
After feeling warm all over his body, Wang An put his coat on the boat and quietly looked at the waterfall, experiencing the feeling just now. To be honest, he really didn't feel anything special.
[If you try to practice under the waterfall, you might as well try it a few more times and see.]
How many more times should you try? Wang An smiled when he saw this prompt.
"Try a few more times. That's it for today. Can I go back and think about it?"
Wang An came to the bottom of the cliff, looked up at the cliff of more than 20 meters, took a deep breath, bent down, raised his hand to grab the rock, kicked off his feet, and exerted vertical force. He was using the Wudang Ladder Cloud Zong technique, and his body
He ran up a few meters and then grabbed the rock with his hands. He repeated this process and was up in just a few seconds.
I looked back at the waterfall below.
"Go back and think about it first, then come back tomorrow. You have to be purposeful to try a few more times."
Wang An went down the mountain in wet clothes. When he got to the bottom of the mountain, most of his clothes had been dried by his body temperature.
I returned to the hotel and took a hot shower. I lay on the bed and thought about what I could do by standing under the waterfall and receiving the impact of the water flow.
Just like Bu Jingyun practiced Cloud Pavilion Palm under the waterfall, the power of the palm technique doubled when it met the water; Yang Guo practiced peerless martial arts in the mountain torrents and waves, but it didn't work. After all, that was a novel.
After thinking for a while, Wang An could not figure out a reason. Although it was related to water, it was completely different from him doing Tai Chi in the swimming pool.
"Perhaps you can ask the omnipotent netizens, this point should be when they are most active."
