There are thousands of peaks of dense swords and halberds.Strange rocks and rocks are in various forms: like an eagle spreading its wings, like a horse raising its hooves; like an eminent monk entering meditation, like a Xizi holding his heart;From a distance, it looks like there are tens of thousands of cavalry in armor, ready to go; from a close look, it looks like a forest of swords and swords, showing their sharpness. This is a stone forest composed of tens of millions of stalagmites.It is a stone forest known as "the first wonder in the world" in Lunan County, Yunnan Province.

It is said that this plateau area was originally an ocean in ancient times. Later, the crust changed and the seabed became land. These graceful boulders are just the rocks on the seabed that year, which were washed by sea water when they gradually emerged from the sea.Later, when the sea dried up and the stones rotted, it became this magnificent stone forest in various poses and with different expressions. A middle-aged scholar with a dusty face was slowly approaching the entrance of the stone forest.Although the description is a bit haggard, it can't hide his shining eyes. He approached the stone forest and looked up, only to see a big rock suspended above his head inscribed with four red characters of "Heaven opens up a strange land".The big stones on both sides are engraved with "Majestic Majesty" on one side and "Majestic Workmanship" on the other.Looking into the "forest", one can see that the strange rocks are steep and scattered, and they are like thousands of households.It makes people look forward to the wonders in the forest, but also feels a little scary.

The scholar thought to himself: "There was a poem in Xu Xiake's travel notes: Thousands of households and thousands of doors are closed in the stone forest, which is no less than Wuhou's Eight Arrays. If you don't have a local guide, you must not enter alone. It seems that it is not an exaggeration. " He pondered for a moment, and finally stepped into the stone forest. The scenery in the forest is indeed unimaginably beautiful.But there are winding paths leading to seclusion, and stone corridors connecting each other.The undercurrent of the submerged waterfall slowly passes through the criss-crossed stone gaps, but the sound of the water is heard, but the stream is not seen.Stepping into the depths of the stone forest is like entering an underground labyrinth.The scholar turned around a few times, but he could no longer distinguish north from south, west from east.

"Heaven opens up a strange land, and it really deserves its reputation." The scholar thought, "It's a pity that I don't have the intention to play at this time." It turned out that he didn't come here to search for secrets, he came to find someone. Just as he walked to a dimly lit rocky place, thinking about it, he suddenly felt a breeze, and suddenly a person jumped out from behind him, grabbing his lute bone.After the man shot, Fang Shi shouted: "Who are you?" The middle-aged scholar lowered his shoulders and retracted his elbows, a "strange python turned over", half-turned his body, and took the man aside with the strength of his shoulders sinking and turning.But he didn't answer the man's question.

As soon as the man's fingers touched his shoulder, he used the "unloading" tactic in superior martial arts to defuse the attacking force. When he caught the air, he was surprised. Knowing that he met a master, he hurriedly asked again: " Who are you? If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!" The middle-aged scholar seemed to turn a blind eye, listen but not hear, turned his heels, and turned back to his original position, with his back turned to him. The man let out a long howl, and thought to himself: "As long as I can hold on for a while, it will be all right when the master comes." He already knew that the opponent was a formidable enemy, so he did not show mercy when he struck, and with a move of "overwhelming mountains and seas", he chopped down both palms at the same time , with the faint sound of wind and thunder.The name matches the reality, the strength of the palm is really like overwhelming mountains.

The middle-aged scholar waved his backhand, using an ordinary move, "Xuanniao scratches the sand".The power of a single palm is against his palms.The man's extremely fierce palm force was unable to push forward, but he didn't feel the strength of the opponent's counterattack.Tried two tricks and still couldn't try the opponent's way.All of a sudden, he felt that the other party's strength against him disappeared invisible, his body lost its center of gravity, he couldn't help but staggered and almost fell. The man was extremely agile, and in the instant of the crisis, his figure fluttered and his position changed.Turning around, he didn't save the move, but took the offensive instead.Hang your right palm outwards, turn your left fist up, and use the "Antelope Hanging Horn" move to hit the opponent's face.

The middle-aged scholar didn't seem to have expected that his boxing technique had changed so wonderfully. He said "yes" softly, and suddenly put his hands on his knees. This change was even more unexpected by that person. It is said that his fist is so fierce that if the opponent does not parry, he must dodge.Unexpectedly, the middle-aged scholar lowered his hands, neither parrying nor dodging.At this moment, he was stunned unconsciously. It was too late to say it, but it was soon, the middle-aged scholar raised his palms, and immediately stroked his fist with his left palm, and bowed his waist.There was only a ping sound, and the man had already been hit by his fist.

However, although this punch seemed to be fierce, there was no pain in the body.The man was stunned for a while, "Ah!" he exclaimed, "You, are you the second master?" It turned out that the move that the middle-aged scholar hit him just now was the "hands-on gesture" of the Diancang School, don't The "hands-inviting gesture" of the Chinese sect is only polite, and only the "hands-inviting gesture" of the Diancang school can be used to hurt people.When this person was eight or nine years old, he had learned basic kung fu from middle-aged scholars under the Diancang sect, but he hadn't learned the profound kung fu yet, but he knew the "hand gesture".

The middle-aged scholar laughed and said, "Hua'er, you have grown so tall, and your martial arts have also improved a lot!" At this time, they were already standing in a relatively bright place. The middle-aged scholar took a closer look and saw that the appearance of the young man in front of him was quite different from when he was a child.But the more he looked, the more he looked like his good friend Meng Yuanchao.The middle-aged scholar thought of Meng Yuanchao, and of Meng Yuanchao's lover Yun Ziluo.Now Meng Yuanchao's whereabouts are unknown, and Yun Ziluo has been buried underground.I couldn't help feeling sour in my heart, and forced myself to hold back tears.

The young man was very happy, hugged the middle-aged scholar and shouted: "Second Master, how did you find this place, how is Master?" It turns out that this middle-aged scholar is Duan Choushi from "Diancang Shuangsha", and this young man is his apprentice Yang Hua.The "Master Father" that Yang Hua asked about, that is, Duan Choushi's elder brother Bu Tiandiao, died seven years ago.The day he died was also the day Yang Hua was captured by their enemies. Yang Hua noticed that something was wrong with Master's expression, and felt a faint ominous omen in his heart.Quickly asked: "Second Master, tell me what happened, please." He didn't expect that after seven years of separation, the master and the apprentice would reunite suddenly.

The curtain of memory was pulled back, and the first thing that appeared was a tragic image of the mourning hall. His father, Yang Mu, was a famous martial artist. For some unknown reason, he hanged himself suddenly one night.His impression of his father was very vague. In his memory, his father didn't seem to love him very much, and occasionally showed affection to him, but always in front of his mother, as if he did it on purpose for her to see.Although he is ignorant, his little heart can still feel it.But his father died, of course he was still sad, especially what happened in the mourning hall that day, he couldn't forget it. "What a fierce aunt!" The second scene of the memory is the quarrel between the mother and the aunt in the mourning hall.The mother was chased away by the aunt, and then an unexpected guest came and snatched him away from the aunt.The man claimed to be a good friend of his father.But this "Uncle Song" was very kind to him, and he took him to find his mother. The mother was not found, and he was snatched by two people on the way.These two people were Bu Tiandiao and Duan Choushi who later became his master and second master.The master looked fierce, and he was scared at first, but the master treated him better than Uncle Song, so he liked him.He also likes the second master, who not only teaches him martial arts, but also teaches him to read and write. The last scene of the memory was in Diancang Mountain, the second master was not at home, the master was injured for some reason, and lived with him in the house of an uncle surnamed Ling to recuperate.What happened that night still lingers in my heart when I think about it now. That night, he was awakened in his sleep by someone. It turned out that at some point, four identical people broke in and were fighting with his master, while Uncle Ling was already lying in a pool of blood, uttering a terrible cry. He didn't know what happened to the master, because of those four people, he later found out that they were the four tigers in southern Yunnan, and he handed him over to a Taoist priest, who ran down the mountain after holding him in his arms. Hearing the shouting and fighting on the top of the mountain. The Taoist was very cruel to him, saying that his father was a big thief who rebelled against the court.He was very surprised, if his father was a "rebel", why there was no tolerance to catch him. He still remembered that on the day of his father's funeral, the magistrate of the county came to send him the funeral.The Taoist abused him along the way, and he wanted to run away several times but couldn't.It was not until I met the current master that the suffering was relieved. Memories flashed through my mind quickly, and Duan Choushi suddenly heard a wry smile, pulling him back from the memories.Duan Choushi smiled bitterly and said: "I will tell you about your master gradually. There are many things I have to tell you. But now you have to take me to see your master first." Yang Hua was both surprised and happy, and said: "Second Master, so you already know, and I was going to tell you." Duan Choushi said with a smile: "Of course I know. Your master is also my good friend. I have been looking for you for seven years!" Before the words were finished, suddenly there was another gust of wind, coming from behind.Duan Choushi made a backhand hook, the man supported his elbow, pointed like a halberd, pierced his acupoints from the bottom of the elbow.Duan Choushi shouted: "What a shocking fingering technique!" With a stroke of Shen's palm, the two sides separated like lightning and flint.Yang Huafang was shouting: "Two masters, you are not, you are not good..." Before the word "friend" was uttered, Duan Choushi and that person were already holding hands, laughing loudly.This person is none other than Yang Hua's current master, Dan Qiusheng. Duan Choushi said: "Congratulations, you have mastered the lost Shocking Fingering Technique, and you have accepted a good apprentice." Dan Qiusheng smiled and said: "Your cotton palm kung fu is also very good. In my opinion, it is better than the poisonous palm you practiced before. As for the apprentice, hehe, I indirectly robbed you. , are you here to ask the teacher of sin?" Duan Choushi smiled and said: "You have trained him so well, it's too late for me to thank you. But why didn't you live in Kongtong Mountain, but moved here?" Dan Qiusheng said: "Is this place not good?" Duan Choushi said: "Although it is good, the fairy's cave is probably nothing more than this. But I have been looking for you for six years, but I can't find it!" . Dan Qiusheng said: "Let's go inside and talk. You haven't seen the most beautiful place in the stone forest. Hua'er, go get some wine." Duan Choushi followed Dan Qiusheng through several dark caves, and suddenly he saw a small lake under the cliff, with wild flowers blooming beside the lake, and the fragrance was fragrant. On the cliff, there were two large official script characters "Jianfeng" inscribed on the cliff. On a stone by the lake, there are two smaller cursive characters inscribed with "Jianchi".The sky light shines through Jianfeng, making the lake even more sparkling.The flower branches are low, stretching from the cliff into the lake. The reflection of the flowers and trees in the lake and the reflection of the stone peak constitute a beautiful picture.Duan Choushi praised: "This place really is a paradise, no wonder you are so happy and forget to return." Dan Qiusheng said: "It is said that Zhang Danfeng, a hero of the Ming Dynasty, practiced swords here for three years and washed his swords in the lake every day. Therefore, the peak is named Jianfeng, and the pool is named Jianchi." Duan Choushi said: "Famous mountain resort. Adding in the legend of the chivalrous man, it will make the scenery more colorful. Hey, there is a stone monument here." Dan Qiusheng said: "This is an ancient seven-character poem written by Huang Daozhou to Xu Xiake, and later generations engraved it as a stele. Zhang Danfeng's legend may not be reliable, but this poem stele is true." Huang Daozhou was a loyal minister who died in Nanjing in the late Ming Dynasty, and Xu Xiake was a great traveler. They have different interests and achievements, but they are very good friends.Duan Choushi said: "Huang and Xu Ergong are both sages I admire, and this poem stele must be read." He wiped off the remaining stele and read the poem:
