Miaomiao told me that Tushan is called Dongshan in their area. It is not far from the city and is a scenic spot.
Legend has it that Tushan was the place where Dayu controlled floods and split the mountains. It was also here that Dayu married Tushan. Later, Dayu visited the house three times without entering, and Tushan turned into a stone while waiting for her husband to return on the mountain.
This stone is called Wangfu Stone, also called Qimu Stone.
Because Dayu's son was named Qi, Tushan was Qi's mother.
I suddenly realized that this is what the so-called Qi Mu means.
She also told me that according to legend, Dayu married the Tushan clan leader’s daughter, Tushan Nvjiao, but the Tushan clan was actually a fox clan, because in ancient times, humans and monsters coexisted, and they could intermarry.
I do know this. There are several major fox clans in the world, and Tushan is one of them.
But why did the person in the dream ask me to come to Tushan?
Seeing that I was more interested in Tushan, Miaomiao took the initiative to take me to Tushan. She said that the mountain was full of spiritual energy. Every time she went to climb Tushan, she would have some strange dreams after coming back.
After eating, it was getting dark. I found a place to stay and made an appointment with Miaomiao to meet at the door of the hotel tomorrow.
It seems that Miaomiao is not in My Peach Blossom Tribulation. She is a good girl, as innocent as a piece of white paper. This makes me relieved.
Otherwise, Zhuang Yuwei will have to keep an eye on me again.
Our relationship is really pure. In fact, in that era, men and women chatted online and met offline, and there were not so complicated thoughts.
It's not like now, when we meet each other just to make an appointment.
Early the next morning, Miaomiao came to the hotel. We met in the lobby and then set off to Tushan together.
This Tushan Mountain is really close. We quickly reached the place and started climbing the mountain.
Miaomiao told me on the way that this Tushan Mountain is also called Dangtu Mountain. It is the seat of the ancient Tushan Kingdom. It is located on the east bank of the Huaihe River with an altitude of 338.7 meters. At the top of Tushan Mountain is a Palace of King Yu, also called King Yu Temple and Tushan Temple. The place to worship Dayu and the Tushan clan was first built in 195 BC and has a history of more than 2,000 years.
We walked up the mountain road, and for some reason, the higher I went, the stronger the feeling in my body became.
I had goosebumps on my skin, my heart was on edge, and I was a little panicked.
The feeling was just like when I went back to my aunt's house and stood outside the door, but didn't dare to go in.
It was a rainy day. Looking up, the mountain tops were shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, like a scene in a dream.
There is a tall tower halfway up the mountain, among the clouds and mist.
Miao Miao said that there is the tomb tower of Li Yongde, the 18th generation host of King Yu Palace.
But in my eyes, in front of the tomb tower, on top of a huge rock, stood a snow-white fox.
The white fox lowered his head and looked at me from a distance with a solemn expression.
I was a little surprised and asked Miaomiao: "Have you seen a white fox there?"
She looked up and said to me: "It's normal. I see foxes every time I come here, but for some reason, no one else can see them."
After hearing what she said, I looked at the scattered tourists around me, but no one noticed the white fox.
It seems that only Miaomiao and I can see this white fox.
I kind of understood why the person in the dream said that someone would take me to visit Qi Mu.
From when I met Miaomiao on the train, to when she took the initiative to ask for my QQ number, from when I went to Ma'anshan to develop the market, to this trip to Tushan, everything seemed to be planned.
It's like there is an invisible route guiding me here step by step.
I looked at the white fox in the distance and then continued climbing.
After a while, we came to a flat mountainous area, with a green grassland in sight and a few rocks next to it.
We rested here for a while, and then I quickly discovered that there were four or five little foxes of different fur colors chasing and playing on the grass.
But this time, Miaomiao didn't see it either.
I told her that there were some little foxes on the grass over there. She opened her eyes wide and looked confused.
This made me feel more and more that this trip to Tushan was anything but ordinary.
The altitude of Tushan is not high, only more than 300 meters. We passed several scenic spots such as Xima Stone, Taisang Stone, Woxian Stone, etc. In front of us is King Yu's Palace.
The horse-tying stone is a stone pillar. Legend has it that emperors and generals from all dynasties and generations must dismount their horses and sedans when they arrive here to show their sincere respect for King Yu.
Taisang Stone is the place where Dayu took Tushan's daughter, and it is also the place where they got married.
The conditions at that time were very simple. This stone was their new house, with a grass hut on top and a stone platform below as a bed.
In fact, I'm a little confused, isn't this embarrassing?
When we arrived at the Woxian Stone, there was also a Gathering Immortal Platform. Legend has it that Dayu summoned the princes here, and the gods in the sky also came to worship with jade ultimatums in their hands.
The Woxian Stone is where the gods rest.
I stared at the Woxian Stone for a long time. I couldn't tell whether there were gods or not, but I always felt that there were a few foxes hidden around the Woxian Stone, secretly watching me.
They seemed afraid to come out, maybe because they were afraid of meeting strangers. They all had their dark eyes wide open, and they were quite cute.
I took a few steps forward, reached out and touched the Woxian Stone, and the foxes dispersed in a rush.
In the mountain forest, there were faint whistlings of foxes. They were not very clear, but they could be heard clearly.
This made me more and more curious.
Continuing to climb the stairs, we soon arrived at King Yu's Palace.
But what surprised me was that this place was closed. There was construction work written on the front door and it was temporarily closed to the public.
This made me a little disappointed and a little confused. Since someone guided me in the dream, why was it like this?
I had no choice but to worship in front of the stone tablet that read "Temple of Emperor Xia's Ancestor" outside the gate of King Yu's Palace, and then go down the mountain through another road.
Not long after walking, there was a huge stone standing on the side of the road, which looked like a human shape, with a few words engraved on it.
Don't get me wrong, what is carved is not the Wangfu Stone.
Instead, there are two big characters "wangfu" and three small characters on it: Tushan clan.
After many years, I still remember it very clearly.
Because when I walked to this stone, I felt inexplicably excited.
This stone is also called the Qimu Stone, and it is said that it was transformed by Tushan Nvjiao.
I came to the Wangfu Stone, put my hands together, and paid homage to Qi Mu.
Only then did I understand why I was not allowed to enter the palace of worshiping Yu.
The man in the dream told me clearly that he wanted me to pay homage to Qi Mu, but he did not say to pay homage to King Yu.
This time I bowed, an inexplicable sadness surged into my heart. I don't know why, but there were two lines of tears in my eyes.
I closed my eyes and meditated.
It seemed that the person in front of her was no longer a piece of stone, but a peerless beauty who had captured the hearts of all the people. Her black hair was tied into a bun, her face was calm, and her clothes were fluttering, as if she were a fairy coming to earth.
At this moment, I could hardly control my emotions, so I couldn't help but bow down and lie on the ground.
In a daze, I really wanted to turn into a little fox and sleep beautifully at the foot of this stone, lying there all day long without getting up.
Why am I like this?
