[69 Book Bar - www.] Early the next morning, the four of us, master and apprentice, took a bus to the train station in the city. After about a day of bumpy rides on the train, we arrived in Shaanxi, and then took the bus to Hequ, Shanxi.

Hequ is an ancient city on the bend of the Yellow River. It was the seat of Xuanwu County, Xihe County in the Han Dynasty. Xiongyong Town was established in the Northern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties, Huoshan County was established in the Song Dynasty, and Hequ County was established during the Zhenyuan period of the Jin Dynasty (1153). It was promoted to Huoshan County in the 22nd year of Dading.

Prefecture, later renamed Aozhou. In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it was still placed in Hequ County, which is still in use today.

Along the western line of the Yellow River from north to south, wonderful sights emerge one after another. On the cliffs of the Yellow River, various Buddha statues of different shapes are carved, and a plank road runs through it. At the bottom of the cliff is the surging Yellow River, roaring endlessly. At the top is the Buddha statue

Gyamuni, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, four heavenly kings, eight cave gods, Buddhist niches in the clouds, peaceful and quiet.

In the evening, we arrived at Hequ County after a long journey. Hequ County is close to the Yellow River, with honest folk customs and simple architecture. The landmark building in the county is the Zhuangyuan Tower located at Dadunliang in the east of the city. The Zhuangyuan Tower is more than 30 meters high.

, shaped like a rafter-like pen of the number one scholar, towering into the clouds. The sun rises over the Yellow River, the number one scholar

The long reflection of the tower crosses the Yellow River and can reach directly to Dakou Village in Inner Mongolia on the opposite side of the Yellow River. There is a huge stone at the entrance of Dakou Village, which is like a large inkstone. Therefore, whenever the sun rises, the huge shadow of the rafter pen of Shanxi Zhuangyuanlang is like a full-scale inkstone.

He captured the essence of the giant Mongolian inkstone and began to write another wonderful chapter of the Yellow River.

We settled down in a hotel, prepared to rest for the night, and go looking for Shanxi ghost caves early tomorrow morning. This hotel still retains the ancient style, and is labeled as "Huaxia Inn". It was the first time that Qiangzi and I came to this bank of the Yellow River.

Got three big bowls.

When checking out, the goddess asked the boss: "Brother, do you know how to get to the Ghost Cave in Shanxi?"

The boss was stunned, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't know! I don't know!"

After walking out of the restaurant, the goddess said: "It seemed like the boss knew about ghost caves just now, but why didn't he tell us?"

"Do you want to know the reason?" A voice suddenly sounded behind us. We turned around and saw a ragged little beggar standing behind us with a pair of black feet.

The goddess said: "Do you know the way to the ghost cave?"

The little beggar said: "Of course I know!"

The goddess said: "Then can you tell us?"

The little beggar rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay to tell you, but you have to treat me to a bowl of sour porridge. I haven't eaten for two days!"

The goddess said: "Okay! As long as you can tell us how to get to the ghost cave, it's okay to treat you to ten bowls of sour porridge!"
