The west line of Tianmen Mountain passes through the Guigu Plank Road, crosses the Guigu Sky Moat, and detours for a few kilometers to the Tianmenshan Temple behind the mountain.

Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin are both atheists and are not interested in temples and did not visit them.At this time, the two of them could no longer walk, so they simply gave up the visit to the east line and took the cable car directly to Yunmengding. After watching the scenery at Yunmengding for a while, they took a shortcut back.

Tianmen Mountain is mainly relatively high and dangerous, with a particularly high vertical drop. As you can see on Douyin 20 years later, this is the venue chosen by the big guys in wingsuit flying.

Tianmen Cave can be said to be a wonder of the world, but in terms of scenery alone, Tianmen Mountain is inferior to Wulingyuan Scenic Area. However, this is only in Liu Xiaochuan's eyes.

Touring Tianmen Mountain was tiring, so we stayed in Zhangjiajie city that night. After breakfast the next day, the tour group went straight to Fenghuang Ancient City. This time we wanted to see the border town written by Shen Congwen.

From Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang Ancient City, the bus arrived in the afternoon. Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin both slept on the bus.He misses the era of high-speed rail very much, and he can get there in an hour.

After getting off the bus, it was like getting into a stuffy tank. The weather was unbearably hot.When the tour guide saw this situation, he directly arranged for everyone to go to the hotel to rest and hide, and then come out to see the river view in the evening. As for Shen Congwen's former residence and other scenic spots, we will visit it tomorrow morning while it is cool.

It was still very hot when I stayed up late at night, but I finally got out of the sun. I walked on the stone road in the ancient city, crossed the Hongqiao and Fengyu Bridges, and looked at the stilted buildings on both sides of the river bank. The lanterns were first lit, and the scenery was beautiful.

There was a stone pagoda by the river. Liu Xiaochuan pointed to the stone pagoda and said to Lu Linlin: "Did you see that the king of heaven covers the tigers on the ground and the pagoda suppresses the river monsters? I guess this stone pagoda belongs to this type."

Before Lu Linlin could reply, the tour guide gave Liu Xiaochuan a roll of his eyes, "This pagoda is called Wanming Pagoda, not an ancient pagoda. It was built in 88. It was formerly a calligraphy furnace tower built in the Qing Dynasty for burning calligraphy paper."

Liu Xiaochuan knew that he was despised by the tour guide. It seemed that he was not well-educated enough and he really couldn't talk nonsense when traveling. This would be a joke.

Lu Linlin snickered from the side, "I thought you knew everything!"

"Let you make fun of me!" Liu Xiaochuan stretched out his hand and pinched Lu Linlin's armpits, and the two of them burst into laughter.

The tour guide took everyone to the foot of the Ten Thousand Names Tower. Several couplets were engraved around the tower, one of which was:

"The tower is quiet and tall, attracting phoenixes in the sky, and the clear banks of the river are filled with meandering water that hides dragons!"

Liu Xiaochuan secretly praised it in his heart. It was indeed well written. Although his writing skills are not good, it does not delay appreciation!There is also a longer couplet:

"One tower faces the river and locks the clear streams of two rivers. For a hundred years, it has been destroyed and prospered in the Spring and Autumn Period. Only five poles have talent; three peaks confront each other..."

This couplet has no punctuation marks. Liu Xiaochuan did not dare to read it out for fear of making mistakes in sentence segmentation.Sure enough, the tour guide read it to everyone, and it was really different from Liu Xiaochuan's own interpretation of the sentence. He was secretly glad that he didn't read it out, otherwise he would be embarrassed again.

The tour guide explained while reading: "This place used to be called Zhengan. There is a saying you may have heard, which is "Without Hunan, no army can be formed!" "

Tourists have said that they have indeed heard of this.Whether it is Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army or the Hunan Army during the Anti-Japanese War, they are all particularly capable of fighting. In modern military history, they are definitely number one!

The tour guide nodded, "Actually, there is another saying, which is: 'No country can grow without a pole'. Have you heard of this?"

“I’ve never heard of this!”

"I've definitely never heard of it!"

"It's because we are ignorant!"

The tour guide smiled: "It doesn't matter, I've heard it this time!" Then he told everyone about the history of Gan Jun and some famous figures.

The tourists all nodded and expressed their enthusiasm. Gan Jun is indeed well-deserved!

After the tour guide took everyone to tour the Tuojiang River, it was time for free activities. They could eat some snacks or stroll around the streets of the ancient city. Lu Linlin was attracted by the Miao clothing rented on the street and wanted to rent one to take photos.Liu Xiaochuan naturally arranged it. We brought our own cameras and no one else needed to take pictures. We only needed to rent clothes.

In fact, in another 20 years, one of the biggest industries in the ancient city will be renting clothes and taking photos. The riverside and bridges are full of "beautiful girls" holding a wind lantern and posing for photos. Coming to travel is just a check-in, and you can take beautiful photos. Take a photo, edit the picture, post it to Moments with a few lines of copy, and you’re done.It doesn't matter whether you see the scenery or not.

When they traveled together in their previous life, Liu Xiaochuan mainly wanted to see the scenery, while Lu Linlin queued up to buy food and check in to take photos.

Many men would rather not eat than wait in the long queue, and do not think those Internet celebrity delicacies are so delicious.Women, on the other hand, gather where there are more people. After queuing up to buy, they have to take pictures first. As for eating, that is secondary.Men focus on seeing the scenery and experiencing it, while women focus on checking in and leaving traces. It doesn’t matter whether I’ve been here or not. The important thing is to let the audience in the circle of friends know that I have been!

Liu Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel lucky again. Fortunately, it was 97. There was no circle of friends, not many people taking photos, and there were no long lines to buy food.

Early the next morning, we visited several scenic spots such as Shen Congwen's former residence. The trip officially ended. The group got on the bus and drove back to Zhangjiajie for several hours before taking a flight back to Yanjing.

After returning to Yanjing, Liu Xiaochuan and Lu Linlin didn't even take a rest, so they transferred directly back to Fengyang. After running all the way back, they were indeed a little tired, so they went directly back to their house in Shenghuayuan to rest.

Before going on the trip, he and Lu Linlin stayed in a hotel in Fengyang, sharing two rooms. Now that the relationship between the two has improved, there is no need to hide it, and they went back to Shenghuayuan together.

After two days of rest in Fengyang, I developed all the film from my trip and filled several envelopes with photos. I spent thousands of yuan just to develop the photos.Lu Linlin stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect that it would cost so much to develop the photos. She felt a little distressed even though it didn't cost her anything.But she chose all the photos, and she didn't want to throw any of them away. She had them all developed, so she could only blame herself secretly.

With more than half a month left before school started, Liu Xiaochuan drove Lu Linlin back to Kaiyuan. After spending so much time outside during the summer vacation, it was time to go home for a few days.When she got home, Lu Linlin couldn't wait to show the photo to her parents, just like a child showing off her toys!

When they were away from home, it was inevitable for the two of them to live together. Lu Youzhong and Feng Caijuan knew this very well, so they simply stopped asking and pretended not to know!Anyway, Liu Xiaochuan's kindness to his daughter was seen by them, so they acquiesced in everything.

After staying in Kaiyuan for one night, Liu Xiaochuan said goodbye. He couldn't stay here and left. He went back to Fengyang by himself and saw that everything in the company was running normally. He didn't need to worry about it. He took advantage of the limited time left during the summer vacation. Time, he signed up for an English class for the postgraduate entrance examination. Next semester, he plans to work hard for another six months. The postgraduate entrance examination is his top priority!
