九龍潭自然風景(jing)區位于興隆縣城南13公(gong)(gong)里處,它(ta)位于京、津、唐、承四市的(de)結(jie)合部,距北京150公(gong)(gong)里,承德130公(gong)(gong)里。景(jing)區分(fen)為一奇、三峽、九潭、八大景(jing)觀,五十多個(ge)景(jing)點。
比較著名(ming)的太(tai)極(ji)八卦(gua)井(jing)(jing)深8.6米(mi),無水(shui)(shui),堪(kan)稱(cheng)九龍一奇。嚴(yan)冬,井(jing)(jing)內(nei)酷熱(re)如蒸;炎夏,井(jing)(jing)內(nei)凝寒(han)結冰(bing)。此井(jing)(jing)融陰陽之(zhi)變(bian),容水(shui)(shui)火(huo)之(zhi)功,同冰(bing)碳之(zhi)異,冬則(ze)生暖,夏則(ze)凝寒(han),地脈靈泉,神妙莫測,故稱(cheng)太(tai)極(ji)八卦(gua)井(jing)(jing)。
2020年2月,為表達對廣(guang)大醫務(wu)工作(zuo)者的(de)敬意,景區將在疫情結(jie)束并恢復經營(ying)后向醫務(wu)人員優惠開放。
羚羊(yang)峽谷(gu)(gu)區,懸崖(ya)峭(qiao)壁(bi)勢如刀劈斧削(xue),谷(gu)(gu)內奇(qi)(qi)峰林(lin)立(li),高聳入云,怪石橫生,造(zao)型奇(qi)(qi)特,有鬼斧神(shen)(shen)工之妙。如果你細心觀察不難發現(xian),兩邊的(de)(de)山崖(ya)似乎(hu)能合在一(yi)起,仰首望天,只(zhi)有一(yi)線寬。從地質構造(zao)上(shang)說,這是(shi)一(yi)億(yi)四千萬年前燕山造(zao)山運動形成的(de)(de)一(yi)道大(da)裂谷(gu)(gu),故爾如刀劈斧削(xue)。傳說龍王開潭時,將龍鱗化為萬只(zhi)羚羊(yang),日夜在龍潭險崖(ya)上(shang)巡(xun)守,它們(men)居住在這條大(da)峽谷(gu)(gu)中繁衍生息,因此人稱“龍羚谷(gu)(gu)”也叫“羚羊(yang)大(da)峽谷(gu)(gu)”。。羚羊(yang)峽谷(gu)(gu)主要景點(dian)有九個:雙獅崖(ya)、小(xiao)石林(lin)、臥虎峰、拇指峰、仙翁棋臺、通(tong)天河瀑布、黃鷹晾(liang)翅(chi)崖(ya)、神(shen)(shen)龜戲(xi)水(shui)和(he)龍門(men)。
前面這塊巨石有(you)(you)(you)兩丈見方(fang),方(fang)方(fang)正(zheng)正(zheng)厚(hou)厚(hou)實實,真是萬年(nian)(nian)盤石。這塊巨石叫“仙(xian)翁(weng)(weng)棋(qi)臺(tai)”,最早是“龍(long)王(wang)點(dian)將臺(tai)”。相傳,在龍(long)王(wang)開辟九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)時,每天(tian)在此巨石上(shang)(shang)分兵點(dian)將,龍(long)潭(tan)開辟完畢,此臺(tai)閑置無用。由于(yu)臺(tai)的周圍環境清(qing)新幽靜(jing),引來許(xu)多神仙(xian)在此下棋(qi),因此人們又(you)稱(cheng)它為“仙(xian)翁(weng)(weng)棋(qi)臺(tai)”。傳說古時有(you)(you)(you)一(yi)(yi)位(wei)(wei)(wei)青(qing)(qing)(qing)年(nian)(nian)到山里(li)砍(kan)柴(chai),看見兩位(wei)(wei)(wei)鶴發童顏的老人在此下棋(qi),便看了一(yi)(yi)會兒。忽覺腹(fu)中(zhong)饑(ji)餓(e),就拾起地上(shang)(shang)仙(xian)人吃剩下的幾枚桃核充饑(ji)。直到午后,日(ri)已西沉,仙(xian)人下完棋(qi),青(qing)(qing)(qing)年(nian)(nian)才出山。到了村里(li),村里(li)的人他一(yi)(yi)個也不認識(shi)了。問自家門前一(yi)(yi)位(wei)(wei)(wei)白(bai)發老人,老人說他有(you)(you)(you)一(yi)(yi)位(wei)(wei)(wei)老祖爺(ye)爺(ye)入山砍(kan)柴(chai)至今未(wei)歸。青(qing)(qing)(qing)年(nian)(nian)方(fang)知自己遇到了仙(xian)人。真是“山中(zhong)方(fang)一(yi)(yi)日(ri),世上(shang)(shang)已千年(nian)(nian)”。青(qing)(qing)(qing)年(nian)(nian)復又(you)入山修(xiu)(xiu)道(dao),終于(yu)修(xiu)(xiu)煉成仙(xian)。到“仙(xian)翁(weng)(weng)棋(qi)臺(tai)”上(shang)(shang)走一(yi)(yi)走,有(you)(you)(you)道(dao)是“仙(xian)翁(weng)(weng)棋(qi)臺(tai)走一(yi)(yi)走,人能活到九(jiu)十九(jiu)”。
通天(tian)(tian)洞河瀑(pu)布(bu)自下而(er)望,瀑(pu)口(kou)形(xing)(xing)如(ru)古(gu)井(jing),橫紋層巖,狀似馬蹄;上(shang)(shang)有藍天(tian)(tian),水來無(wu)源;飛瀑(pu)下注,甕(weng)聲(sheng)甕(weng)氣;仿(fang)佛水從(cong)天(tian)(tian)上(shang)(shang)來,與井(jing)壁形(xing)(xing)成共(gong)鳴,水聲(sheng)嘩嘩,悅耳動聽,婉如(ru)編鐘古(gu)罄。傳說通天(tian)(tian)河瀑(pu)布(bu)是九(jiu)(jiu)個龍子外(wai)出必經之路,九(jiu)(jiu)龍必須從(cong)此(ci)逆(ni)流而(er)上(shang)(shang),騰空(kong)直上(shang)(shang)云霄間(jian),然后才能遨游太空(kong),因此(ci)這條瀑(pu)布(bu)就叫通天(tian)(tian)河瀑(pu)布(bu),其水來無(wu)源去無(wu)跡。
崖呈黃色,中間是(shi)黃鷹的(de)頭和(he)腹,兩(liang)邊是(shi)展開的(de)雙翅,恰似一(yi)只巨(ju)大的(de)黃鷹,展開垂天(tian)之(zhi)翼(yi),迎著朝陽,沐著雨露(lu),晾曬著雙翅。給人以“昆(kun)鵬展翅九萬里”的(de)威(wei)武與雄壯(zhuang)感。
山如龜(gui)殼,坡(po)度(du)平緩,那條黑乎(hu)乎(hu)的長圓(yuan)巨石形似龜(gui)頭伸向河中(zhong),整體(ti)看(kan)來猶(you)如神龜(gui)戲水;右(you)邊山崖上還有個(ge)(ge)(ge)洞(dong)(dong),就是(shi)“龜(gui)相洞(dong)(dong)”。相傳(chuan),龍(long)(long)王在(zai)(zai)開潭(tan)(tan)后東行,臨(lin)行前囑咐誠實(shi)的龜(gui)丞(cheng)相在(zai)(zai)這(zhe)里細心記錄(lu)(lu)每一個(ge)(ge)(ge)進(jin)入龍(long)(long)門者(zhe)的行為(wei),守衛龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)。老龜(gui)丞(cheng)相為(wei)了提醒(xing)進(jin)入龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)峽谷的人(ren),便施法術,把這(zhe)座山化為(wei)背殼,把那塊巨石化為(wei)自(zi)(zi)己的頭形,監視(shi)行人(ren),自(zi)(zi)己卻隱(yin)身(shen)于右(you)面的洞(dong)(dong)中(zhong),暗自(zi)(zi)記錄(lu)(lu)每一個(ge)(ge)(ge)過往(wang)行者(zhe)。請看(kan)老龜(gui)丞(cheng)相幾萬年來仍在(zai)(zai)這(zhe)里,為(wei)看(kan)守九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)盡職盡責。
龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men),它是龍(long)(long)(long)(long)潭之門(men)(men)(men),也(ye)是“羚羊峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”與“九龍(long)(long)(long)(long)潭峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”的(de)分界,過了龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就(jiu)是“九龍(long)(long)(long)(long)潭峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”和“老君洞(dong)峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)”了,正所(suo)謂“龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”分三(san)峽(xia)(xia)。傳(chuan)說(shuo)鯉魚躍(yue)上龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就(jiu)會變(bian)為(wei)龍(long)(long)(long)(long),故有(you)“魚躍(yue)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”的(de)成語。正因為(wei)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)難躍(yue),才險峻如刀(dao)劈斧削。龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)長年半開(kai)半閉,使行人至此有(you)“山重水復(fu)疑無(wu)路(lu)”之感(gan)。龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)上有(you)雞(ji)冠石,似在提醒守門(men)(men)(men)衛士,雞(ji)鳴天(tian)(tian)亮才可開(kai)門(men)(men)(men)放(fang)行。古時人們常來(lai)這時觀(guan)察龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)來(lai)預測一年天(tian)(tian)氣變(bian)化,留下民諺(yan):“立(li)春(chun)頭道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)霧,春(chun)種(zhong)雨水足;立(li)夏頭道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)干,一夏天(tian)(tian)盡旱;立(li)秋(qiu)頭道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)風,今(jin)秋(qiu)五谷(gu)豐;立(li)冬頭道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)雪,明(ming)年好(hao)年月。”
所謂“九(jiu)龍(long)大峽谷”乃(nai)因谷中有(you)九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)而得名,谷內有(you)睚眥潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、囚牛潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、蒲牢潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、狻猊潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、霸下潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、狴犴潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、赑(bì)屃(xì)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)、鴟(chi)吻潭(tan)(tan)(tan)九(jiu)道龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan),外加(jia)神猿通天壁、龍(long)女(nv)瑤、將軍峰、水漫(man)平石川、獸(shou)頭峰等(deng)景(jing)點。
靠(kao)近頭道(dao)龍(long)潭,原來還(huan)有座(zuo)龍(long)王(wang)廟,古時香火很盛,四季不斷。尤(you)其到(dao)了大旱(han)之(zhi)年(nian),不算大的(de)龍(long)王(wang)廟香煙繚繞,一(yi)派神秘仙(xian)氣。求雨者(zhe)排成隊(dui),有時長達數里(li)之(zhi)遙。據(ju)考證,這座(zuo)龍(long)王(wang)廟最晚也是明代建筑,它(ta)依山(shan)傍水,廟中(zhong)供奉(feng)的(de)主神就是開(kai)辟九龍(long)潭的(de)“老(lao)龍(long)王(wang)”。
如今(jin)已(yi)見不到古時人(ren)們(men)求(qiu)雨的熱(re)鬧場(chang)面了,而古時由于(yu)人(ren)們(men)迷信,一(yi)(yi)到干(gan)旱少雨季節,方圓百(bai)里的人(ren)全要到九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)向龍(long)(long)王(wang)求(qiu)雨。求(qiu)雨的隊(dui)伍里不能有女人(ren),而男人(ren)們(men)全要赤背排成長隊(dui),三步(bu)一(yi)(yi)拜,五(wu)步(bu)一(yi)(yi)叩,將(jiang)全羊全豬等祭(ji)(ji)品抬至潭(tan)(tan)前(qian),經過(guo)幾天(tian)祭(ji)(ji)拜,把祭(ji)(ji)品全部沉于(yu)潭(tan)(tan)中,據說如果潭(tan)(tan)上冒起白(bai)氣,天(tian)就會下雨了。趕上大旱之年有時一(yi)(yi)鬧就是幾十(shi)天(tian),這(zhe)種(zhong)鬧劇(ju)使九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)至今(jin)仍然充滿神秘色彩。
在(zai)(zai)龍(long)王(wang)(wang)廟(miao)求雨(yu)所祭之潭(tan)(tan)(tan)為(wei)第一潭(tan)(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)(tan)名睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)。它(ta)是(shi)龍(long)王(wang)(wang)第二子,由于(yu)生(sheng)性(xing)好斗,且(qie)好殺戮,恩(en)怨分明,睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)必報,龍(long)王(wang)(wang)便把它(ta)的潭(tan)(tan)(tan)府開(kai)在(zai)(zai)第一位,以守衛龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)門戶。正(zheng)因如此,睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)常(chang)被人們(men)刻在(zai)(zai)刀(dao)劍柄上為(wei)標志,以增加殺氣。傳(chuan)說(shuo)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)恩(en)怨分明,有求必應,但卻(que)得(de)罪不(bu)得(de)。據傳(chuan),龍(long)窩村有幾個村民(min)用(yong)炸(zha)藥在(zai)(zai)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)炸(zha)魚,結果走在(zai)(zai)路上就(jiu)下起暴雨(yu),冰雹齊下,打來的魚全跑光,村里遭了雹災(zai),顆粒(li)無收。這也許(xu)是(shi)巧(qiao)合,不(bu)過自從那時起,睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)便石封沙鎖,一閉至今(jin),不(bu)再開(kai)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)。傳(chuan)說(shuo)睚(ya)(ya)眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水有避(bi)鬼(gui)魅、祛邪祟的作用(yong),若不(bu)是(shi)如今(jin)趕上閉潭(tan)(tan)(tan),可(ke)取(qu)水洗臉(lian)或食用(yong),以避(bi)邪祟。
第二(er)道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)叫“囚牛(niu)潭(tan)”,潭(tan)底為白巖,潭(tan)形(xing)如臥鐘,瀑布如鐘鈕。潭(tan)水清澈見(jian)底,游魚可見(jian)。千(qian)年(nian)萬年(nian)水石(shi)相擊(ji),使潭(tan)上小溪形(xing)如水渠,齊如刀(dao)劈斧(fu)削,下注龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan),嘩嘩作響(xiang)。傳(chuan)說龍(long)(long)(long)生九子各有所好,“囚牛(niu)”是龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)長子,性(xing)喜(xi)音(yin)樂,終(zhong)日操琴,故龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)把它安排在遠離弟(di)兄(xiong)之處(chu),既可守衛龍(long)(long)(long)門,又可遠避嫌怨。由于“囚牛(niu)”愛好音(yin)樂,常(chang)被人刻在胡琴上作為標志(zhi)。
這道(dao)龍潭(tan)的(de)瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)布(bu)多有氣勢(shi),這是第(di)三(san)潭(tan),名叫“蒲牢潭(tan)”,是龍王的(de)第(di)三(san)子(zi),一道(dao)飛(fei)(fei)瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)切開(kai)懸(xuan)崖,形成高丈,寬(kuan)不足2米的(de)缺口,瀑(pu)(pu)(pu)流飛(fei)(fei)瀉,下注清(qing)潭(tan),飛(fei)(fei)花(hua)碎玉,水(shui)聲(sheng)轟鳴(ming)。潭(tan)聲(sheng)如(ru)鐘馨齊鳴(ming),八(ba)音(yin)齊奏(zou)。潭(tan)形如(ru)扇面,潭(tan)闊(kuo)水(shui)深,汪汪一碧,但仍清(qing)澈見底(di),游魚細石直視無礙。蒲牢好鳴(ming),日(ri)出即鳴(ming),月出亦吟,如(ru)一位男中音(yin)歌者,所以每當(dang)人們(men)夜深人靜時(shi)來(lai)到(dao)“蒲牢潭(tan)”前(qian),便可聽到(dao)它如(ru)八(ba)音(yin)齊奏(zou)的(de)悅(yue)耳聲(sheng)音(yin)。由于(yu)“蒲牢”好鳴(ming),常被(bei)人們(men)刻在鐘鈕上以為標(biao)志。
在(zai)莆牢潭的左面(mian)另(ling)有一(yi)道峽谷,似較寬闊(kuo),綠松滿坡,清流(liu)遠(yuan)來(lai),飛(fei)落瑤池,與(yu)浦(pu)牢之(zhi)水(shui)交匯(hui)流(liu)向(xiang)第二潭――囚牛潭,人稱(cheng)“龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv)瑤”。它和各位兄長既山水(shui)不斷,親緣(yuan)相(xiang)連,又獨谷秀瑤,景色(se)雋秀,雖然龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv)侍奉(feng)觀(guan)音菩薩(sa)在(zai)南海,但(dan)瑤瀑依然整理得清潔雅(ya)致,另(ling)有幽雅(ya)情趣(qu),看(kan)瀑流(liu)順峽谷飛(fei)瀉而下,被扯(che)成(cheng)絲絲縷縷,紛披如簾,水(shui)如柔情。傳(chuan)說龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv)掌管龍(long)王珠藏,龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv)喜吃(chi)燒(shao)燕,梁武帝曾以燒(shao)燕獻龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv),龍(long)女(nv)(nv)(nv)食之(zhi)大喜,以大珠三、小珠七(qi)、雜珠一(yi)石來(lai)報(bao)答(da)梁武帝。
百丈黃(huang)崖,壁(bi)立千仞(ren),高聳入云,勢如(ru)(ru)斧(fu)劈,名神猿(yuan)(yuan)通(tong)天壁(bi),崖上為(wei)猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)常居之地,別看(kan)這(zhe)百丈黃(huang)崖人(ren)無法爬(pa)上,猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)卻可如(ru)(ru)飛(fei)(fei)攀援而上。幾年前(qian),有一村民用獵槍打傷(shang)一只獼猴(hou)(hou),眾獼猴(hou)(hou)見其(qi)未(wei)死,飛(fei)(fei)速爬(pa)下(xia),抬起(qi)傷(shang)者(zhe)飛(fei)(fei)速爬(pa)上絕(jue)壁(bi),村民追之不及,只好(hao)任其(qi)逃掉。崖頂也有獼猴(hou)(hou)居住,不過由于有游人(ren),不敢下(xia)來(lai)玩耍。由于這(zhe)面(mian)山(shan)崖只有猿(yuan)(yuan)猴(hou)(hou)能上,所以稱這(zhe)面(mian)崖壁(bi)為(wei)“神猿(yuan)(yuan)通(tong)天壁(bi)”。
順著(zhu)龍(long)女瑤往(wang)上(shang)(shang)方遠看,那(nei)座險峰形(xing)如將軍(jun)頭盔(kui),上(shang)(shang)有一(yi)顆松樹又似盔(kui)上(shang)(shang)簪纓,高大威武,氣(qi)度非凡,我們稱(cheng)它(ta)為將軍(jun)峰,似一(yi)位天神下凡,化(hua)為將軍(jun),守衛著(zhu)這九龍(long)大峽谷(gu)。
順鐵梯棧道上(shang)行,可以欣賞到(dao)最純(chun)凈(jing)的(de)嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan),嘲風是(shi)(shi)龍(long)王的(de)第四子。嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan)是(shi)(shi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)上(shang)之(zhi)(zhi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan),峽(xia)中之(zhi)(zhi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan),碧水(shui)切開崖壁,形(xing)如人工所鑿之(zhi)(zhi)石(shi)渠,下注嘲風,夾潭(tan)(tan)(tan)石(shi)峽(xia)高可幾十丈,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)形(xing)似大(da)甕(weng),上(shang)有(you)入口(kou),下有(you)出(chu)口(kou),又以酒胡蘆。仰(yang)視(shi)天(tian)空僅(jin)如井口(kou),俯視(shi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)面(mian),碧水(shui)清清如水(shui)晶,山光云影(ying)倒映如畫。潭(tan)(tan)(tan)底(di)系整個白石(shi),沙礫(li)皆無(wu)(wu),純(chun)凈(jing)無(wu)(wu)比,游魚往來(lai),引人艷羨。龍(long)王根據嘲風好險(xian)的(de)性格,才給(gei)它安排了這處奇(qi)絕(jue)險(xian)怪的(de)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)府。正因嘲風好險(xian),常被(bei)人們把其形(xing)象刻在大(da)殿(dian)的(de)屋角上(shang),以鎮殿(dian)脊。嘲風潭(tan)(tan)(tan)據傳說是(shi)(shi)很(hen)有(you)靈驗的(de)龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan),村民常來(lai)這里(li)求(qiu)雨,有(you)求(qiu)必應。
沿鐵梯棧道而上(shang)到(dao)兩山之間的過橋上(shang),我們可以游賞(shang)到(dao)第五潭(tan),名叫(jiao)狁猊潭(tan)。是(shi)一個長形狹窄(zhai)的小潭(tan),水清潭(tan)靜,微波(bo)不起,平展如(ru)鏡,寧靜無聲。狁猊喜靜坐(zuo),所以常被(bei)人們刻在佛(fo)座上(shang),以為標志。
霸下(xia)潭上(shang)口半圓形(xing),如門緊(jin)閉,潭形(xing)如鏡,潭面較(jiao)闊(kuo),左靠懸崖,右近絕(jue)壁(bi),萬(wan)重大山壓下(xia),千(qian)道巨(ju)嶺相連。霸下(xia)是(shi)龍王的第(di)六(liu)子,性喜負(fu)重,龍王就把它的潭府(fu)開在(zai)通天入云的懸崖絕(jue)壁(bi)下(xia),潺潺流(liu)水(shui)匯其下(xia),萬(wan)千(qian)巨(ju)峰壓其上(shang),“霸下(xia)”居(ju)此安居(ju)樂業。由于“霸下(xia)”好負(fu)重,形(xing)似巨(ju)龜(gui)(gui),常被人們刻在(zai)碑(bei)座上(shang),但(dan)常又被不識者(zhe)誤認為龜(gui)(gui)馱(tuo)石碑(bei)。
沿峽(xia)谷艱難前行,兩岸(an)懸崖奇(qi)險無比,崖上原(yuan)始(shi)灌木叢生。約行一二里,可見(jian)夾岸(an)崖下一道碧潭(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)平如鏡,潭(tan)(tan)底(di)為整潔(jie)如玉的(de)一塊(kuai)白石,平坦如砥,水(shui)清見(jian)底(di),兩峽(xia)夾峙,險峻異常(chang)。狴(bi)犴是(shi)龍王第七子,辦事公(gong)正,喜理訟案。民(min)間流傳諺語:“訟事到(dao)潭(tan)(tan)前,公(gong)道找狴(bi)犴;是(shi)非何(he)用(yong)問,潭(tan)(tan)影自分(fen)辨。”因此,狴(bi)犴常(chang)被(bei)人(ren)們(men)刻在(zai)監獄門上,形狀似虎,象征公(gong)正廉明。
繞過僅一尺寬的崖路,前面是第(di)八道(dao)龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)“赑bì屃(xi)xì潭(tan)(tan)(tan)”。赑屃(xi)是龍(long)王(wang)八子,喜(xi)歡(huan)舞文弄墨,所以(yi)龍(long)王(wang)開潭(tan)(tan)(tan)時,使其潭(tan)(tan)(tan)形如(ru)巨硯,潭(tan)(tan)(tan)邊巖石(shi)多紋。群(qun)峰夾峙,上(shang)似懸(xuan)鐘覆蓋,下(xia)(xia)似殘月半圓,瀑流瀉入,山鳴谷應,空谷傳(chuan)響,別有幽(you)趣(qu)。潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)清清,碧如(ru)翡(fei)翠,給(gei)人(ren)以(yi)晶瑩如(ru)女兒綠之感。相傳(chuan)此(ci)作此(ci)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)沐浴,一定能寫出(chu)世間錦(jin)繡文章,天(tian)下(xia)(xia)絕(jue)妙詩賦。因此(ci),赑bì屃(xi)xì常被人(ren)刻在石(shi)碑頂或邊緣上(shang),作為裝飾花紋。
第九道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan),也是最后一道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)──鴟吻潭(tan)(tan),必(bi)須攀崖牽藤,游蕩而過。由(you)于龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)第九子“鴟吻”善(shan)吞好(hao)水,龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)就(jiu)把(ba)它(ta)安排在最后,所有九潭(tan)(tan)之水均由(you)其腹(fu)(fu)中包藏(zang),由(you)其口(kou)中吞吐。大(da)有“腹(fu)(fu)盛龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)千鐘水,口(kou)吞峽(xia)谷萬重山(shan)”之勢(shi)。由(you)于鴟吻好(hao)水,常被人(ren)們刻在橋(qiao)梁上,作為鎮水獸。飛瀑入潭(tan)(tan),山(shan)光(guang)水光(guang),樹影云影,詩情畫意,天籟悠悠。
九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)大峽(xia)谷的最后(hou)(hou)一(yi)(yi)景是“龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)”。位于(yu)九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)峽(xia)谷的最后(hou)(hou)部。這(zhe)(zhe)里山(shan)陡林密,四(si)季風光(guang)各異。一(yi)(yi)億四(si)千萬(wan)年(nian)(nian)前燕(yan)山(shan)造山(shan)運動(dong),使這(zhe)(zhe)里有(you)一(yi)(yi)股地下(xia)(xia)巖隙水(shui)(shui)噴薄而(er)出,萬(wan)古不(bu)竭的泉水(shui)(shui)從山(shan)崖上落下(xia)(xia),飛(fei)(fei)花碎玉,晶瑩多芒,宛如楊(yang)花柳絮,飄飄蕩蕩,生(sheng)機勃勃。飛(fei)(fei)瀑(pu)入(ru)潭(tan)(tan),回清倒(dao)影(ying),良多趣味。相傳(chuan)這(zhe)(zhe)瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)是在龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)開辟(pi)九(jiu)(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)時,怕有(you)一(yi)(yi)天潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)(shui)會干,便長(chang)年(nian)(nian)引來四(si)海之(zhi)(zhi)水(shui)(shui),水(shui)(shui)來龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)后(hou)(hou),眾(zhong)生(sheng)全求之(zhi)(zhi)于(yu)它,龍(long)(long)(long)王(wang)(wang)又愁如何分配,思考再三,最后(hou)(hou)決定(ding),把水(shui)(shui)灑在千山(shan)萬(wan)谷之(zhi)(zhi)中。除去(qu)眾(zhong)生(sheng)所需(xu),余下(xia)(xia)的匯(hui)流于(yu)龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源。為(wei)一(yi)(yi)見之(zhi)(zhi)下(xia)(xia)可知水(shui)(shui)量,又開辟(pi)了“龍(long)(long)(long)水(shui)(shui)源瀑(pu)布(bu)(bu)”。“飛(fei)(fei)瀑(pu)之(zhi)(zhi)下(xia)(xia),必有(you)深潭(tan)(tan)”,因此,九(jiu)(jiu)道龍(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)(tan)長(chang)年(nian)(nian)水(shui)(shui)量充足,如九(jiu)(jiu)星聯珠,蔚為(wei)古今奇觀。
這(zhe)口(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)就是(shi)天下奇(qi)(qi)觀(guan)──太極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)。井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)深8米,是(shi)一口(kou)(kou)枯(ku)井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)。這(zhe)口(kou)(kou)井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)(qi)之處不(bu)在水(shui),而在于它的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)(qi)變化。每當冬(dong)(dong)季到(dao)來的時候,井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)內溫熱如(ru)(ru)夏,時有(you)騰騰白氣自井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)口(kou)(kou)冒(mao)出。近觀(guan)則(ze)(ze)溫潤撲面,暖人心房;遠看則(ze)(ze)云(yun)霧氤氳(yun),配以古(gu)(gu)樸(pu)(pu)農戶,游人至此,如(ru)(ru)至仙(xian)境。時至炎夏,井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)內凝寒結(jie)冰,凜凜寒風從井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)中吹出,滿院生涼。近前則(ze)(ze)清冽(lie)襲人,砭人肌骨;遠觀(guan)則(ze)(ze)綠峰(feng)翠嶺環抱,山居古(gu)(gu)樸(pu)(pu),幽思曠(kuang)渺(miao)。自古(gu)(gu)陰(yin)(yin)陽不(bu)兩立,水(shui)火不(bu)相(xiang)容(rong),冰炭不(bu)同爐,可(ke)是(shi)這(zhe)口(kou)(kou)太極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing)(jing)(jing)(jing)則(ze)(ze)融陰(yin)(yin)陽之氣,糅水(shui)火之功,同冰炭之用,冬(dong)(dong)則(ze)(ze)生暖,夏則(ze)(ze)凝寒;地脈靈泉,神(shen)(shen)異如(ru)(ru)斯(si),自古(gu)(gu)稀見。
關于太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing),還有(you)個神(shen)秘(mi)的(de)(de)傳說。當(dang)年華夏第一條(tiao)祖龍(long)(long)居于九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)外龍(long)(long)窩(wo)時(shi),兒女眾多,高(gao)朋滿座(zuo)(zuo),經常龍(long)(long)子(zi)龍(long)(long)孫(sun)聚會(hui),時(shi)時(shi)神(shen)仙來訪,晏會(hui)常開,山(shan)(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)味常備(bei)不時(shi)之需。可是冬天(tian)(tian)寒冷食物(wu)(wu)變(bian)硬,夏天(tian)(tian)炎熱,食物(wu)(wu)易腐。這(zhe)時(shi)太(tai)上老君剛剛在九龍(long)(long)潭(tan)老君洞內(nei)修成正果(guo),為了(le)(le)報答龍(long)(long)王給他找(zhao)的(de)(de)修煉靜地(di),于是便(bian)將(jiang)開宗創(chuang)派之寶(bao)(bao)太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦圖畫了(le)(le)副本(ben),贈與龍(long)(long)王。龍(long)(long)王掘開地(di)脈靈泉,把(ba)太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦圖埋(mai)下,開創(chuang)了(le)(le)一座(zuo)(zuo)儲(chu)藏山(shan)(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)味的(de)(de)寶(bao)(bao)庫(ku)。太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦圖有(you)包羅萬象顛倒陰(yin)陽之功,這(zhe)座(zuo)(zuo)寶(bao)(bao)庫(ku)冬天(tian)(tian)變(bian)暖(nuan),夏天(tian)(tian)生涼。一年四季(ji),龍(long)(long)王都能(neng)吃到(dao)鮮嫩的(de)(de)山(shan)(shan)(shan)珍海(hai)味了(le)(le)。后來,大(da)海(hai)東移,龍(long)(long)王在臨行(xing)前用法術封(feng)存了(le)(le)這(zhe)座(zuo)(zuo)寶(bao)(bao)庫(ku),只留下一個通氣孔(kong)(kong)。物(wu)(wu)換星移,滄(cang)海(hai)桑田(tian),這(zhe)通氣孔(kong)(kong)被村民挖(wa)井(jing)時(shi)偶然(ran)找(zhao)到(dao),于是便(bian)成今天(tian)(tian)的(de)(de)天(tian)(tian)下一大(da)奇觀──太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing)。夏季(ji),如果(guo)你把(ba)一桶水放入(ru)井(jing)中,一夜(ye)之間(jian)會(hui)結成寒冰;冬季(ji),你把(ba)一塊冰放入(ru)井(jing)中,它(ta)會(hui)融化成水。以至(zhi)這(zhe)位農民靠近井(jing)的(de)(de)這(zhe)間(jian)屋子(zi)都溫暖(nuan)如春,即使穿短褲下到(dao)井(jing)內(nei)也不覺(jue)寒冷。不信(xin)請朋友(you)們提出井(jing)中的(de)(de)水桶看(kan)一看(kan),不看(kan)不知道(dao),一看(kan)真奇妙。
這九(jiu)曲(qu)十八(ba)彎(wan)的山道上(shang)再(zai)回首凝望九(jiu)龍潭這片神奇(qi)的景區,看那云籠霧(wu)罩(zhao)的群峰與峽谷(gu),給你(ni)以撲朔迷離之美,這就是九(jiu)龍峽谷(gu)的又(you)一奇(qi)觀:霧(wu)鎖峽谷(gu)。傳說九(jiu)龍潭蛇(she)比較多,蛇(she)是龍的變種,眾蛇(she)所吐之氣,常能封住(zhu)山谷(gu),使人(ren)感到神秘莫測。
