August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival, full moon night.

Mid-Autumn Festival was called Zhongqiu in ancient times, and it was mostly called Mid-Autumn Festival among the people, also known as the Autumn Festival, August Festival, mid-August month, moon evening, moon festival.

The word "Mid-Autumn Festival" was first seen in "The Book of Zhou".

According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is in the middle of the August of the year, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

There are four seasons a year, and each season is divided into Meng, Zhong and Ji, so the second month of autumn is called Zhongqiu.

It was not until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "New Book of Tang. Volume 15, Volume 5, Rites and Music 5" records "In the spring, the Mid-Autumn Festival was explained in King Wenxuan and King Wucheng", and "In the 19th year of Kaiyuan, Taigong Shangfu Temple was first established to be matched by the Marquis of Liu Hou Zhang Liang. In the middle of the spring, Wu sacrificed him to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the joy was made like Wen."

According to historical records, the festival of ancient emperors worshiping the moon was the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, which coincided with half of the three autumns, so it was called "Mid-Autumn Festival". Because this festival is in August of autumn, it is also called "Autumn Festival", "August Festival", "August Festival", and "Mid-Autumn Festival". There are also beliefs and related customs to pray for reunion, so it is also called "Reunion Festival" and "Daughter's Day".

Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are all centered around the "moon", they are also commonly known as "Moon Festival", "Moon Evening", "Moon Chasing Festival", "Moon Playing Festival", and "Moon Worshiping Festival"; in the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called "First Month". The prevalence of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as New Year's Day and became one of the main festivals in our country.

The Mid-Autumn Moon is full like a plate, and a bright moon emits bright moonlight.

However, Lelang did not stay at home on August 15 this year with Shaoqing and Saburo to have mooncakes and play with him. Instead, he borrowed his Hummer from Aoi and Naruto to Daru Mountain beside Aojiao Bay, Chencheng Town, Dongshan. Daru Mountain is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a bitter wind, and the fishy and damp smell in the sea comes with the wind.

Nowadays, there are more and more people traveling by backpacking, so no one is surprised when Lelang and the others drive Hummers through the town.

Darou Mountain is a hill that is several hundred meters high, with thousands of meters high. There are many trees and piles of rocks on the mountain. There were stone mines here back then, but not long after, it was ordered to close the mountains and cultivate forests.

Now, there are still stones scattered on the mountain, and huge explosions of huge ridges opened their hideous mouths. The traces of ore mined back then are still clearly visible, but some have been covered by the clumps of grass and trees. This is close to the beach, so some people often come to visit. From the mountain, you can clearly see four small islands, lions, elephants, tigers and dragons lying in the sea. Over time, a small path leading to the mountain was stepped on in the mountains.

Lelang and the others drove to the foot of Daru Mountain and parked the car in a forest. It was dark and the forest was dense, so they were black. They were not afraid of being stolen by others. Besides, no thief was willing to run here to steal the car.

The old Taoist, Naruto and the others got out of the car, packed up the things they brought, and then walked up with Lelang. The place they walked was not the usual way, but a small hill on the left side of Darou Mountain.

The three of them were walking in the woods. They were all people who were used to walking in the forests, and the speed was very fast. The old Taoist and Naruto had been here several times, but only Lelang had not come yet. They were afraid that they would be discovered, so they did not use flashlights, but just climbed up the mountain with the faint moonlight.

Fortunately, no one noticed it, otherwise the equipment of several people would be scared to death if someone saw it. The old Taoist was wearing a Taoist robe, a sword behind him, and a bulging bag, holding a flashlight in his hand, Lelang and Naruto were carrying backpacks, Naruto was holding his harpoon in his hand, and Lelang was holding a jungle hunting knife bought from India. Both of them were wearing field equipment. Although they were dressed in clothes, they did not look like soldiers, but they looked like bandits.

In order to prevent accidents, both of them brought some water and food in their backpacks. No one knows whether the things in the treasure map are true or not, or whether they are better prepared.

Gradually, we arrived halfway up the mountain, where there were tall pine trees, green pine trees, and a thick layer of dry pine needles were covered with.

Naruto and the old Taoist have been here several times, and have already opened a small path in the jungle that can be walked, otherwise they would have opened the way again today.

Passing through this tall pine forest, the old Taoist came to a mountain wall and stopped. The stone wall was twenty or thirty meters high and there was no way out. Many mountain flowers, wild trees and weeds grew between the gaps in the stones next to it.

"Why don't you leave?" Lelang, who was following behind, stopped and asked.

"Here." Naruto replied in front.

"Have you arrived?" Le Lang asked in surprise. How could he have arrived when there was a stone wall ahead and there was no road?

"Um."

Naruto responded, without explaining much.

The old Taoist in front turned around and said to Lelang: "Boy, I'll open your eyes today." As he said that, he stood on a stone in front of the mountain wall, raised his hand and pressed a place above the mountain wall.

Le Lang looked in the direction he pressed his hand and saw two words "Taixuan" engraved on the stone wall that was washed by the rain. There seemed to be an inscription next to it. The old Taoist pressed the place where the seal was engraved.

Not long after the old Taoist pressed his finger, Lelang saw the mountain wall in front of him slowly opening a cave that was more than one person high. The cave was deep and there was no way to see what was inside.

"I didn't expect there was a mechanism, so it seems you have to be careful?" Lelang looked at it and said. He didn't feel strange about this mechanism. He had never seen any strange things in modern people, and he was already paralyzed.

"Take out the gas mask and put it on."

After the old Taoist said that, he took the gas mask handed over by Naruto and walked in first. Naruto and Lelang also put on the gas mask and walked in.

After finding the so-called treasure map from the Moon Tower last year, Naruto and the old Taoist who had nothing to do after eating and had nothing to do, they finally found the entrance, but they didn't dare to go in. Because there was a full moon on the picture, and the map in the Moon Tower happened to be found on the Mid-Autumn Festival, they thought about coming in on this day. After all, there were many strange things that modern people could hardly imagine. If you make a mistake, something might happen.

The cave is dry, but it can be seen from the thick dust in the cave, which is quite long.

The old Taoist and others entered the cave, then clapped their palms on a raised stone next to the mountain wall, and slowly closed the entrance of the cave.

There was a faint air flow in the cave, not dull at all, nor a trace of decay that had experienced ancient times.

After entering the hole, there was a long passage inside. The passage was obviously man-made and there were oil lamps on both sides. However, they did not light the lamps, but picked up the flashlight and walked in directly.

Neither the old Taoist nor Naruto entered the cave, so when he got inside, he changed to Lelang in front, Naruto behind, and Old Taoist in the middle. After all, the old Taoist is old, and if there is a mistake, it will be difficult to deal with. Lelang's consciousness can reach about thirty meters in the dark hole without five fingers, so he is the best in front. Although he can reach about thirty meters in front, he dare not be careless and still walk carefully step by step.

The passage became more and more strange, and the terrain was obviously slowly going down, and there were stairs layer by layer. Lelang calculated and had at least one or two thousand meters from the entrance to this place. Now he had probably left Daru Mountain, but he still didn't see anything. The few people couldn't help but wonder.

"Old man, how do you write that map? Is this road? Why haven't you arrived after walking for so long?" Naruto asked behind.

"It's this road. It's written on the map and it's also drawn. Go a little further ahead and there is a suspension bridge. After passing the suspension bridge, you will reach the place." The old Taoist said with a flashlight and looking at the map.

"You're not mistaken, Old Dao, there is still a suspension bridge underground?" Lelang in front said after hearing this.

"This is what this map is written. What's the way? The map also says that we will see a crystal palace at the end?"

"Crystal Palace?" Lelang shouted and said. It was not a pity that he was so surprised. He had never seen much after taking out the map from the Moon Tower. At this time, he heard that the old Taoist said this, of course he felt strange. This Crystal Palace was said to be the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, which is so damn good.

"It's like this, I don't know if it's true. It's nothing, anyway. Just go and take a look and know that there may be some treasures." The old Taoist said, probably the next paragraph was what he wanted to say.
