But the ravines here are deep and dense forests are everywhere, seemingly endless. In addition, the sky is always gloomy, and there is no ray of sunlight in the forest, making it even more dark and gloomy. In a depression, we saw a large area of ??ruins. The collapsed walls and remaining house foundations showed the prosperity and glory that had once existed here. I saw from a distance that in the center of a house, a towering old tree grew. A butterfly-like pale yellow petal was attached to the tree. It bypassed a dense bush of thorns and then another. The large pile of remaining rocks finally moved under the old tree. I saw clearly that the pale yellow butterfly turned out to be a Ganoderma lucidum. I raised the crutch in my hand, poked it off, held it in my hand, and walked back to my companions. They stood inside the foundation of a house, allowing everyone to watch for a long time. Bypassing this depression, we came to a sunny hillside. I heard my female companions shouting in surprise! It turns out that there are huge and fresh mountain mushrooms growing on this hillside. Some of them took off their caps, and some took out the convenience bags they brought with them to the mountain, and rushed to pick the mushrooms on the mountain. But the mountainside was covered with mushrooms. They couldn't finish picking them all, and after a while they ran out of places to hide them, so they stopped grabbing them. Xiao He said: "The famous Zhizhi Cave is down there. If you are not afraid of sliding down the ravine, go and have a look!" We looked down at the bottom of the mountain and saw that it was a dizzying ravine thousands of feet deep, but no one said the word "fear". Because before going up the mountain, I heard someone say, "If you don't go to the Zhizhi Cave, you won't have reached Jiuyan Mountain." Everyone threw off the crutches in their hands, used their hands together, and took turns climbing up the big trees, heading up the steep mountain with difficulty. Sliding under the mountain wall, we gradually slid to the entrance of the cave. When we entered the cave, we were startled by a large group of bats that flew out. It turned out that this cave has become a paradise for bats in the mountain due to being inaccessible for many years. They crawled in the stone gaps in the cave wall to rest and Live and reproduce. I looked at the shape of the cave and saw that the inside of the cave was in the shape of "convex". The cave was about ten meters deep and about 5 meters high and wide. There were vague words on the stone walls on the left and right sides. After careful identification, I found out that it was the name of Geng Ziyi, Longqing Renshen of the Ming Dynasty. The words "Zhizhidong" and "Ningshen" are included in the title. According to legend, this cave got its name because there was a monk named "Zhi Zhi" who lived here in seclusion and became an immortal through cultivation. Climbing up from the entrance of the cave and looking back, we felt that the cliff was steep and the ravine was deep and the mountain was extremely dangerous. We felt frightened and couldn't believe that what we had just done by going down the mountain to drill the "Zhizhi Cave" was real. !

As we approached the East Gate, we rested for a while in a valley mouth under the East Gate. The mountain breeze blew in our faces, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling. Xiao He pointed to a high mountain opposite and said: "That is Niutoushan. Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang once killed a cow here and got its name." I remember that I had read that legend in a magazine, which said that Zhu Yuanzhang was named after him when he was a child. Anhui's Fengyang family fled famine with his mother and lived in the Jiuyan Mountain area, herding cattle for a wealthy family. One day he and his cowherd boys were hungry on the mountain, so they picked some peas from the field and put them into an earthen jar. Put it on the stone stove, pick up some firewood, light it, and boil the peas. Unexpectedly, a friend accidentally tripped and broke the earthen pot, so they had to pick up the peas with bamboo sticks and stuff them into their mouths to satisfy their hunger. , but how can these peas fill their bellies? Zhu Yuanzhang and his friends killed a strong ox, roasted the beef on the fire and ate it. They threw the cow's head to the opposite hill, stuck the cow's tail in the ravine, and went back to tell the rich man The ox fell into the ground, but its tail was still on the ground in the ravine. The rich man didn't believe it, so he went to the ravine to pull out the ox's tail. Not only could he not pull it out, but he also heard the grunting of the ox under the ground. The rich man believed it and not only did he Instead of blaming Zhu Yuanzhang, he thought that his ox would become an immortal and that he would have good luck, so he bowed three times to the ox's tail. Later, people called the mountain where Zhu Yuanzhang threw the bull's head "Nutou Mountain", the stone plate on which the cow was killed was called the "Niutou Killing Plate", and the deep ravine at the foot of the mountain where the cow's tail was stuck was called "The Cow's Tail". ditch".

Many years later, Zhu Yuanzhang became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When he visited this place, his childhood friend recalled the interesting story of cooking peas and complimented him: "I remember that the emperor fought a great victory here. A group of us rushed to The enemy was frightened by the news. They broke through the 'Stone Formation', broke up the 'Jin Army', ran away 'Marshal Tang', and captured 'General Du (Dou)'. They had to shoot one by one and charged into the 'Yamen' ( That's really fun!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right, our Biyan Mountain is a good place to produce heroes."

We climbed several rounds of steep slopes from the mouth of the valley before reaching the east city gate. We saw that the city gate had collapsed, the door beams fell into the grass on the ground, and only the ruins of the city wall were left. We didn’t stay long or take a closer look. , took the mountain path and rushed towards the north gate. The road from the east gate to the north gate is more dangerous than the road from the south gate to the east gate. The mountain road seems to be hanging between the cliffs, with a steep cliff below. Long silky grass grows on the roadside, blocking our way to the cliff. Looking down, if you are not careful, you will lose your footing in the grass and fall under the cliff. As we walked along, everyone reminded each other for fear of something unexpected happening. Along the way, we saw more ruins of broken walls. This area seemed to be the gathering place for the cottage army. Among the trees and grass, there were remnants of stone mortars and stone mills, military stoves built along the slope, and broken Ceramic ware...
