Suddenly, at the end of Wu Gorge, there was a hole in the belly of the rock.
Looking up to see the sky, the stone chamber opens to the south.
Xuanni ancient temple, with thick trees as curtains.
The iron pillars stretch across the sky, and you can see the sky from a distance of tens of feet.
Whoever builds the structure of the ancients is bound to have unforeseen consequences.
The sky is crying in the stone dou, and the ancient burial in the tile coffin is sad.

——Excerpt from "Out of the Gorge" by Su Shi
…
Bai Fu has been taciturn since he boarded the ship from Baidi City. The Dajiang Clan disciples only knew that Bai Fu had a distinguished status, but did not know that Bai Fu's martial arts was so high.
After Bai Fu got on the boat, he changed his clothes. During Bai Fu's break, seeing that Bai Fu was similar in age and approachable, several disciples from the Dajiang Gang boldly stepped forward to ask for advice.
Several Dajiang Gang disciples were simple and unpretentious, and took good care of Bai Fu along the way. Bai Fu felt good about him and took the opportunity to repay them. These Dajiang Gang disciples used to be ordinary fishermen on both sides of the Three Gorges. They were good at boating, but their kung fu was very poor.
Weak. Only knows some basic boxing and kicking skills.
Bai Fu asked these disciples to stand up and give some pointers.
"I once stayed in the Shaolin Temple for a few days and was fortunate enough to receive guidance from several eminent monks. Shaolin boxing emphasizes standing like a pine, sitting like a bell, and walking like the wind.
Standing like a pine tree means taking root under your feet. Unload all your weight, release it from the soles of your feet, and nail it to the ground. Stand like pines, cypresses and green bamboos, three feet into the ground. When the wind enters the pine forest, the green pines welcome guests. If someone attacks you with fists and kicks, only
Only by taking roots under your feet can you block the horizontal frame. After receiving the force, leave your own body alone and release all the force.
On weekdays, when standing in a stance, first stand with your hands down, then hold the ball into a round shape, then tilt your body out of the body, support the baby and crouch over the tiger, and guard the spirit independently...
Practice diligently every day, and as time goes by, your kung fu will develop on its own.
Sit like a bell. What is a bell? The sternum and ribs are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which is the shape of a bell. The spine is the pendulum, and the tail vertebra is the head of the pendulum.
The practice of Qigong focuses on shaking the bell, using the pendulum to carry the bell, moving the spine, chest and ribs, moving the five internal organs from hanging to shaking, rubbing each other, and opening up the qi and blood. Our Taoism calls this shaking Ziwu.
Bell Ringing Kung Fu is also called Golden Bell Kungfu. When you practice it to the state of transformation, when facing an enemy in battle, your mind will turn at will and your muscles will immediately sense.
This is the real golden bell. It is not a street performer, shirtless, and being hacked with steel knives and iron rods."
Several disciples from the Dajiang Gang heard it interesting and laughed, and then they understood the insider's approach.
Bai Fu continued: "Walking is like the wind. This wind is not a violent storm, nor a slanting drizzle, but a whirlwind. The word "Xuan" is focused on the five toes. When the toes are twisted, the force will rotate inwards, and when it comes out straight, there will be horizontal force.
It's fast and stable. Like the wind, it penetrates every hole."
Bai Fu asked a Dajiang Clan disciple to stretch out his foot and tilt his toes upwards as much as possible. At this time, a diagonal tendon could be felt on the sole of the foot.
Bai Fu said: "This tendon is a wooden elephant. If it moves like the wind, the wind will shake the wood. When your feet are on the ground and your five toes grip the ground, the tendon will move. When practicing boxing in Shaolin, there is a thread under the foot. If the thread does not move, the result will not be successful."
Our steps in Qingcheng are different but have the same purpose. The Taoist steps are called Yu steps, which are made by stretching one foot and one foot, and two threads are stretched to make one thread. The steps are practiced to the state of transformation, and when walking on flat ground, it is like flying over a cliff."
What Bai Fu said was quite mysterious. Several disciples were ecstatic, scratching their heads and asking Bai Fu for further guidance.
Bai Fu shook his head and said: "You can continue to improve in boxing and kicking kung fu by practicing day and night. But in light body kung fu, it's too late for you to practice now.
The best way to lighten one's body is before the child learns to walk, the master will stretch the two hip bones and stretch the spine. The purpose is to prevent the hip and sacrum from growing dead, and there will be a lot of movement between the bone seams, which will be unstable in the future.
The tendons will grow stronger to enhance joint stability.
Taoist disciples can't achieve the basics of Tong Zi Kung in two or three years even after practicing hard for ten years.
There were millions of soldiers in the Tang army, but there were not many real martial arts masters. Because most of the soldiers recruited by the Tang Dynasty were recruited from farmers' children. At this time, the soldiers were adults and could not learn advanced martial arts. They could only learn some basic sword and gun skills.
, steamed steamed buns with dead noodles—make it alive.”
After Bai Fu finished speaking, the disciples of the Dajiang Gang sighed, and they all envied Bai Fu for growing up in a famous sect.
Bai Fu recalled that when he was young, he practiced martial arts in Qingcheng and was so ambitious. He envied Shaolin and other Central Plains martial arts forests. Thinking about it now, he was really young and ignorant, and he wasted a lot of time.
I remember the time when my master taught me Kung Fu step by step. He took the trouble to give instructions repeatedly. This scene seems like just yesterday.
I always thought that everything has its time, but I didn’t expect that life is impermanent. The past is like smoke, passing with the wind. Bai Fu let out a long sigh, feeling sad...
…
The leader of the Dajiang Gang, a disciple named Ruan Zhouxing, bowed to Bai Fu and saluted, saying: "Young Master Bai, you come from the sect of the Tianshi Daoling in Qingcheng. There have been monsters causing trouble in Qutang Gorge recently. Please lead us to conquer the demons and eliminate them!"
Bai Fu laughed dumbly and said: "I only know martial arts, but I have never learned anything like transforming talismans and catching monsters."
Ruan Zhouxing said with piercing eyes: "Your martial arts are superb, you will definitely be able to help us get rid of this monster!"
The rest of the disciples of the Dajiang Gang said in unison: "Please also ask Bai Shaoxia to lead us in defeating demons!"
Bai Fu said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about it and see if I can do my best."
Ruan Zhouxing was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, Shaoxia Bai, for your help. This matter is related to the ancient legend of the Three Gorges.
There are tens of millions of stone walls in the Three Gorges, and there are countless caves where birds and apes can't reach. There are countless coffins, big or small. People in the Three Gorges say that these coffins have existed for thousands of years. We call them
The coffins of immortals are also called hanging coffins. The hanging coffin cave is called the "immortal pavilion", and the hanging coffin burial is called the "tomb of the earthly immortal". These coffins include single coffins, group coffins, some are like wooden boats, and some are like bellows.
...
It is said that the high cliffs of the Three Gorges are the closest to the Nine Heavens Wonderland. From which generation onwards, descendants put the bones of their ancestors into boat-shaped coffins and buried them on the unattainable cliffs. It was like entering a fairyland surrounded by clouds and mist, and they could avoid ghosts and monsters.
Without interference, you can also pay homage to your ancestors, purify their souls, and help them ascend to immortality.
The descendants of the Three Gorges wrote poems to commemorate their ancestors: "Since ancient times, it has been said that the coffin rock, the singing of birds and the cries of apes move people's feelings, the snow is falling on the grass and mountains, mourning is carried out, the wind blows the pine and fir trees in mourning, in spring, hundreds of flowers present a memorial ceremony, and at night, the bright moon shines on the memorial platform. I don't know the dynasty of the deceased.
?The coffins were buried in seven caves.”
The main stream of the Three Gorges starts from Qutang Gorge in Kuizhou and goes down to the mouth of Xiling Gorge. Over the past thousand years, more than ten famous hanging coffin spots have been discovered:
The "Bingshu Xia" in Chijiao Mountain; the Fenbi Hall among the cliffs on the south bank of Kuimen; the Golden Cave on the cliff on the south bank of Qutang Gorge; the Fengxiang Gorge in the rock crack of Chijia Mountain on the north bank of Qutang Gorge;
Armor Cave; Iron Coffin Gorge on the cliff on the south bank of Xiling Gorge; Bingshu Baojian Gorge on the north bank of Ziguijing, Xiling Gorge.
For hundreds of years, a nursery rhyme has been circulating here: "The Three Gorges is a dangerous river beach, with coffins hanging on the cliffs, and millions of gold and silver, even if you sacrifice your life, it is rare!"
Among them, the "Book of War" in Chijiao Mountain and the Book of War and Sword Gorge in Xiling Gorge are the most legendary: According to legend, when Zhuge Kongming entered Shu in the west, he passed by the Three Gorges and hid two iron scrolls of war and a sword written by him on the riverside.
On the cliff to climb, let the brave warriors of future generations take it.
Because the hanging coffins are placed on cliffs, making them difficult for monkeys to climb, no one knows whether there are gold, silver, treasures, swords and military books in the coffins.
Recently, a strange thing happened. Every night, the hanging coffin on the cliff is filled with ghost fires and ghosts. Listening late at night, there are vague ghost words floating in the air. I don’t know what they mean.
Looking at these hanging coffins during the day, many coffins were opened, the coffin lids were messy, and they were even thrown into the river and floated to the downstream tidal flats.
The old people were all frightened and said that the Ghost Ring Monument in Qingcheng Mountain was destroyed, and the demons among the ghosts appeared in the world to cause trouble. The zombies in the hanging coffins that could not ascend were resurrected, causing harm to the world, and a disaster was imminent in the Three Gorges area."
Bai Fu asked in confusion: "Why don't you suspect that someone has robbed the tomb? Didn't you just say that there might be gold and silver buried in the coffin?"
If we follow the example of the herb gatherers in the mountains and hang a rope from the top of the mountain, wouldn't we be able to enter the rock crevice cave and steal coffins?"
Ruan Zhouxing said: "Young hero, you will know when you get to the rock wall. These hanging coffins are all placed on the cliff of Qianren. The top of the mountain is bare, it is all gravel, and there is no grass. Not to mention the big trees that tie the ropes, they can't even tie the ropes.
There isn’t even a single big stone. How can you rappel down?”
"Ah?!" Bai Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this matter was strange and tricky.
