九(jiu)龍潭自然風景(jing)區(qu)(qu)位(wei)于(yu)興隆縣城南13公里(li)處,它位(wei)于(yu)京、津、唐、承(cheng)四市(shi)的(de)結合部,距北京150公里(li),承(cheng)德130公里(li)。景(jing)區(qu)(qu)分(fen)為一奇、三峽、九(jiu)潭、八(ba)大景(jing)觀,五(wu)十多個(ge)景(jing)點。
比較著(zhu)名的(de)太極八卦井(jing)深8.6米(mi),無水,堪稱(cheng)(cheng)九龍一奇。嚴冬,井(jing)內酷熱如(ru)蒸;炎夏,井(jing)內凝寒結冰(bing)。此井(jing)融陰陽之變,容水火(huo)之功,同冰(bing)碳之異,冬則(ze)生暖,夏則(ze)凝寒,地脈(mo)靈泉,神(shen)妙莫(mo)測,故稱(cheng)(cheng)太極八卦井(jing)。
2020年2月,為表(biao)達對(dui)廣大醫務工作者的敬意(yi),景區(qu)將在(zai)疫情結(jie)束并恢復經(jing)營后向(xiang)醫務人員(yuan)優惠開(kai)放。
羚(ling)(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)區,懸崖(ya)峭壁勢如(ru)(ru)刀劈斧削(xue)(xue),谷(gu)(gu)內奇峰林(lin)立,高聳入云,怪石橫生,造(zao)型(xing)奇特,有鬼(gui)斧神工之妙。如(ru)(ru)果你細心(xin)觀察不難(nan)發現,兩邊的山崖(ya)似乎能(neng)合(he)在(zai)一(yi)(yi)起(qi),仰首望天,只有一(yi)(yi)線寬。從地質構(gou)造(zao)上(shang)說,這是一(yi)(yi)億四千(qian)萬(wan)年前燕山造(zao)山運動形成(cheng)的一(yi)(yi)道大裂谷(gu)(gu),故爾如(ru)(ru)刀劈斧削(xue)(xue)。傳說龍王(wang)開潭時,將龍鱗化為萬(wan)只羚(ling)(ling)羊,日(ri)夜在(zai)龍潭險崖(ya)上(shang)巡守,它們居住在(zai)這條大峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)中繁(fan)衍生息,因此人(ren)稱“龍羚(ling)(ling)谷(gu)(gu)”也(ye)叫(jiao)“羚(ling)(ling)羊大峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”。。羚(ling)(ling)羊峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)主(zhu)要景點有九個:雙獅崖(ya)、小石林(lin)、臥虎峰、拇(mu)指峰、仙翁棋臺、通天河瀑布、黃鷹晾(liang)翅崖(ya)、神龜戲水和龍門。
前面這塊巨石(shi)有(you)兩丈(zhang)見(jian)方(fang),方(fang)方(fang)正正厚厚實(shi)實(shi),真是(shi)萬年(nian)盤石(shi)。這塊巨石(shi)叫“仙(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)臺(tai)(tai)”,最早(zao)是(shi)“龍(long)王點將臺(tai)(tai)”。相傳(chuan),在(zai)龍(long)王開辟(pi)九(jiu)龍(long)潭(tan)時(shi)(shi),每天在(zai)此(ci)(ci)巨石(shi)上(shang)分兵點將,龍(long)潭(tan)開辟(pi)完(wan)畢,此(ci)(ci)臺(tai)(tai)閑置(zhi)無用(yong)。由(you)于(yu)臺(tai)(tai)的(de)周圍環(huan)境清新(xin)幽靜,引來許多(duo)神仙(xian)在(zai)此(ci)(ci)下(xia)棋(qi)(qi),因此(ci)(ci)人(ren)(ren)們又稱它為“仙(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)臺(tai)(tai)”。傳(chuan)說(shuo)古(gu)時(shi)(shi)有(you)一(yi)位青年(nian)到(dao)(dao)山(shan)里砍柴(chai),看見(jian)兩位鶴發童顏的(de)老(lao)人(ren)(ren)在(zai)此(ci)(ci)下(xia)棋(qi)(qi),便看了一(yi)會(hui)兒。忽覺(jue)腹中饑餓,就拾(shi)起地上(shang)仙(xian)人(ren)(ren)吃剩下(xia)的(de)幾枚桃(tao)核充饑。直到(dao)(dao)午后,日(ri)已(yi)西沉(chen),仙(xian)人(ren)(ren)下(xia)完(wan)棋(qi)(qi),青年(nian)才出山(shan)。到(dao)(dao)了村里,村里的(de)人(ren)(ren)他一(yi)個(ge)也不(bu)認識(shi)了。問自(zi)家(jia)門前一(yi)位白發老(lao)人(ren)(ren),老(lao)人(ren)(ren)說(shuo)他有(you)一(yi)位老(lao)祖(zu)爺爺入山(shan)砍柴(chai)至今未歸。青年(nian)方(fang)知自(zi)己遇到(dao)(dao)了仙(xian)人(ren)(ren)。真是(shi)“山(shan)中方(fang)一(yi)日(ri),世上(shang)已(yi)千(qian)年(nian)”。青年(nian)復又入山(shan)修(xiu)(xiu)道,終于(yu)修(xiu)(xiu)煉(lian)成仙(xian)。到(dao)(dao)“仙(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)臺(tai)(tai)”上(shang)走一(yi)走,有(you)道是(shi)“仙(xian)翁(weng)棋(qi)(qi)臺(tai)(tai)走一(yi)走,人(ren)(ren)能(neng)活到(dao)(dao)九(jiu)十九(jiu)”。
通天(tian)(tian)洞河(he)(he)瀑布(bu)自下而(er)望,瀑口(kou)形(xing)如古(gu)井,橫紋層(ceng)巖,狀似馬蹄;上(shang)有藍天(tian)(tian),水來(lai)無(wu)源;飛瀑下注,甕聲甕氣;仿佛水從天(tian)(tian)上(shang)來(lai),與(yu)井壁形(xing)成共(gong)鳴,水聲嘩嘩,悅耳動聽,婉如編鐘古(gu)罄。傳說通天(tian)(tian)河(he)(he)瀑布(bu)是九個龍(long)子外出必(bi)經之(zhi)路,九龍(long)必(bi)須從此(ci)逆(ni)流(liu)而(er)上(shang),騰空直上(shang)云霄(xiao)間,然(ran)后才能(neng)遨游太(tai)空,因此(ci)這條(tiao)瀑布(bu)就叫通天(tian)(tian)河(he)(he)瀑布(bu),其(qi)水來(lai)無(wu)源去無(wu)跡。
崖呈黃色,中(zhong)間是黃鷹(ying)的頭和(he)腹,兩邊是展(zhan)開(kai)的雙翅(chi),恰似一只巨大的黃鷹(ying),展(zhan)開(kai)垂(chui)天之翼(yi),迎著朝陽,沐著雨露,晾曬著雙翅(chi)。給人以“昆鵬展(zhan)翅(chi)九(jiu)萬里”的威武與雄壯感。
山(shan)如(ru)龜(gui)殼(ke)(ke),坡度(du)平緩(huan),那條黑乎乎的長圓巨(ju)石形(xing)似龜(gui)頭(tou)(tou)伸向河中(zhong),整體看來(lai)(lai)猶如(ru)神龜(gui)戲水;右邊(bian)山(shan)崖(ya)上還有個(ge)洞(dong)(dong),就是(shi)“龜(gui)相(xiang)洞(dong)(dong)”。相(xiang)傳(chuan),龍(long)王在(zai)開潭后東行(xing)(xing),臨行(xing)(xing)前(qian)囑咐(fu)誠實的龜(gui)丞相(xiang)在(zai)這(zhe)里細(xi)心(xin)記錄每一(yi)個(ge)進(jin)入龍(long)門者的行(xing)(xing)為(wei)(wei),守(shou)衛(wei)龍(long)潭。老龜(gui)丞相(xiang)為(wei)(wei)了提醒進(jin)入龍(long)潭峽谷(gu)的人,便施法術,把這(zhe)座山(shan)化(hua)為(wei)(wei)背殼(ke)(ke),把那塊巨(ju)石化(hua)為(wei)(wei)自(zi)己的頭(tou)(tou)形(xing),監視行(xing)(xing)人,自(zi)己卻(que)隱身于右面的洞(dong)(dong)中(zhong),暗自(zi)記錄每一(yi)個(ge)過(guo)往行(xing)(xing)者。請(qing)看老龜(gui)丞相(xiang)幾(ji)萬年來(lai)(lai)仍(reng)在(zai)這(zhe)里,為(wei)(wei)看守(shou)九龍(long)潭盡(jin)職(zhi)盡(jin)責。
龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men),它(ta)是(shi)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)之門(men)(men)(men),也是(shi)“羚羊峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”與(yu)“九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”的(de)分(fen)界,過了龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就是(shi)“九(jiu)龍(long)(long)潭(tan)峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”和(he)“老(lao)君洞峽(xia)(xia)谷(gu)(gu)”了,正所謂“龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”分(fen)三峽(xia)(xia)。傳說鯉魚躍(yue)(yue)上龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)就會變為龍(long)(long),故有(you)“魚躍(yue)(yue)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)”的(de)成(cheng)語。正因為龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)難躍(yue)(yue),才(cai)險峻如刀(dao)劈斧削。龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)長年(nian)半(ban)開(kai)半(ban)閉,使行人至此有(you)“山(shan)重水復疑無(wu)路”之感。龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)上有(you)雞冠石(shi),似在提醒守門(men)(men)(men)衛士(shi),雞鳴天亮才(cai)可(ke)開(kai)門(men)(men)(men)放行。古時人們常來(lai)這時觀察龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)來(lai)預(yu)測一年(nian)天氣變化,留下民諺:“立(li)春(chun)頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)霧(wu),春(chun)種雨(yu)水足;立(li)夏頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)干,一夏天盡旱;立(li)秋頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)風,今秋五谷(gu)(gu)豐;立(li)冬頭(tou)道(dao)龍(long)(long)門(men)(men)(men)雪,明(ming)年(nian)好年(nian)月。”
所(suo)謂“九龍(long)大峽谷(gu)”乃(nai)因谷(gu)中(zhong)有九龍(long)潭(tan)而(er)得名,谷(gu)內有睚(ya)眥潭(tan)、囚牛潭(tan)、蒲牢潭(tan)、嘲(chao)風潭(tan)、狻猊潭(tan)、霸下(xia)潭(tan)、狴犴潭(tan)、赑(bì)屃(xì)潭(tan)、鴟吻潭(tan)九道龍(long)潭(tan),外加神(shen)猿通天(tian)壁、龍(long)女瑤、將軍峰(feng)、水(shui)漫平石(shi)川、獸(shou)頭峰(feng)等景點。
靠近(jin)頭道龍(long)潭,原來還(huan)有(you)座龍(long)王(wang)廟,古時(shi)香火很盛,四季不斷。尤(you)其到了大旱(han)之年(nian),不算(suan)大的(de)龍(long)王(wang)廟香煙繚(liao)繞(rao),一派(pai)神(shen)秘仙氣。求雨者排成隊(dui),有(you)時(shi)長達數里之遙。據考證,這座龍(long)王(wang)廟最(zui)晚也是(shi)明代建筑,它依山傍水(shui),廟中(zhong)供奉的(de)主(zhu)神(shen)就是(shi)開辟九龍(long)潭的(de)“老龍(long)王(wang)”。
如今已見(jian)不到(dao)古時人(ren)(ren)們求雨(yu)的(de)熱鬧(nao)場(chang)面了,而古時由(you)于(yu)人(ren)(ren)們迷(mi)信,一到(dao)干旱少雨(yu)季(ji)節,方(fang)圓百里(li)的(de)人(ren)(ren)全(quan)要到(dao)九龍潭(tan)向龍王求雨(yu)。求雨(yu)的(de)隊伍里(li)不能有女人(ren)(ren),而男人(ren)(ren)們全(quan)要赤背排(pai)成長隊,三步一拜,五步一叩,將(jiang)全(quan)羊(yang)全(quan)豬等(deng)祭品抬至潭(tan)前,經(jing)過(guo)幾天(tian)祭拜,把(ba)祭品全(quan)部沉(chen)于(yu)潭(tan)中,據說如果潭(tan)上冒起白氣,天(tian)就(jiu)會下(xia)雨(yu)了。趕上大旱之年有時一鬧(nao)就(jiu)是幾十天(tian),這種(zhong)鬧(nao)劇(ju)使九龍潭(tan)至今仍然充滿神秘色彩。
在龍王廟求雨所祭之潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)為(wei)(wei)第一潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)名睚眥(zi)(zi)。它是(shi)龍王第二子(zi),由于生性好(hao)斗,且好(hao)殺戮(lu),恩(en)怨分(fen)明,睚眥(zi)(zi)必報,龍王便把(ba)它的(de)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)府開在第一位,以(yi)守衛龍潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)門戶。正因如(ru)此,睚眥(zi)(zi)常被人們刻(ke)在刀劍(jian)柄上(shang)為(wei)(wei)標志,以(yi)增加殺氣。傳說睚眥(zi)(zi)恩(en)怨分(fen)明,有求必應,但卻得罪不(bu)(bu)得。據傳,龍窩村(cun)(cun)有幾個村(cun)(cun)民用炸藥在睚眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)炸魚(yu),結(jie)果走在路上(shang)就下起暴雨,冰雹齊下,打來的(de)魚(yu)全跑(pao)光,村(cun)(cun)里遭了(le)雹災,顆粒無收。這也許(xu)是(shi)巧合,不(bu)(bu)過自從(cong)那時起,睚眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)便石封沙鎖,一閉至今,不(bu)(bu)再(zai)開潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)。傳說睚眥(zi)(zi)潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan)水(shui)有避(bi)鬼魅、祛邪祟的(de)作(zuo)用,若不(bu)(bu)是(shi)如(ru)今趕上(shang)閉潭(tan)(tan)(tan)(tan),可取水(shui)洗臉或食用,以(yi)避(bi)邪祟。
第二道龍(long)潭(tan)(tan)叫“囚牛(niu)潭(tan)(tan)”,潭(tan)(tan)底為(wei)白(bai)巖,潭(tan)(tan)形如(ru)臥(wo)鐘(zhong),瀑布如(ru)鐘(zhong)鈕。潭(tan)(tan)水(shui)清澈(che)見(jian)(jian)底,游魚可見(jian)(jian)。千年(nian)萬年(nian)水(shui)石(shi)相擊,使潭(tan)(tan)上小溪形如(ru)水(shui)渠,齊如(ru)刀劈斧削(xue),下注龍(long)潭(tan)(tan),嘩嘩作(zuo)響。傳(chuan)說龍(long)生九子各(ge)有所(suo)好,“囚牛(niu)”是龍(long)王長子,性(xing)喜音樂,終日操(cao)琴(qin),故龍(long)王把它安排(pai)在遠離弟兄之處,既可守衛(wei)龍(long)門,又可遠避嫌怨(yuan)。由于“囚牛(niu)”愛好音樂,常被人刻(ke)在胡(hu)琴(qin)上作(zuo)為(wei)標志。
這(zhe)道龍潭(tan)的(de)瀑布(bu)多有氣勢,這(zhe)是第(di)三潭(tan),名叫(jiao)“蒲(pu)(pu)牢(lao)潭(tan)”,是龍王的(de)第(di)三子(zi),一道飛(fei)瀑切(qie)開(kai)懸(xuan)崖,形(xing)成高丈,寬不(bu)足2米的(de)缺口,瀑流飛(fei)瀉,下注(zhu)清潭(tan),飛(fei)花碎(sui)玉,水(shui)聲轟鳴(ming)。潭(tan)聲如鐘馨(xin)齊鳴(ming),八音齊奏(zou)。潭(tan)形(xing)如扇面(mian),潭(tan)闊水(shui)深(shen),汪汪一碧,但仍清澈見底,游魚(yu)細石直視(shi)無礙。蒲(pu)(pu)牢(lao)好(hao)鳴(ming),日(ri)出(chu)即鳴(ming),月出(chu)亦吟,如一位男中音歌(ge)者,所以每當人(ren)們夜(ye)深(shen)人(ren)靜時來到(dao)“蒲(pu)(pu)牢(lao)潭(tan)”前,便(bian)可(ke)聽到(dao)它如八音齊奏(zou)的(de)悅耳聲音。由于“蒲(pu)(pu)牢(lao)”好(hao)鳴(ming),常(chang)被(bei)人(ren)們刻在鐘鈕上以為標志。
在莆牢潭(tan)(tan)的左面另有一道峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu),似較寬闊(kuo),綠(lv)松滿坡,清(qing)流遠(yuan)來,飛落瑤(yao)池,與浦牢之水交匯流向第二潭(tan)(tan)――囚(qiu)牛潭(tan)(tan),人(ren)稱“龍(long)女(nv)(nv)瑤(yao)”。它(ta)和各(ge)位(wei)兄長既山水不斷,親緣相連(lian),又獨谷(gu)(gu)秀瑤(yao),景色雋(jun)秀,雖然(ran)龍(long)女(nv)(nv)侍奉觀(guan)音菩(pu)薩在南海,但瑤(yao)瀑依然(ran)整理得清(qing)潔雅致,另有幽(you)雅情趣,看瀑流順(shun)峽(xia)谷(gu)(gu)飛瀉而下,被(bei)扯成絲絲縷(lv)縷(lv),紛披如簾,水如柔情。傳說龍(long)女(nv)(nv)掌(zhang)管龍(long)王珠(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)藏,龍(long)女(nv)(nv)喜(xi)吃燒(shao)燕(yan),梁(liang)(liang)武(wu)帝曾以燒(shao)燕(yan)獻龍(long)女(nv)(nv),龍(long)女(nv)(nv)食之大喜(xi),以大珠(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)三(san)、小珠(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)七、雜珠(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)一石(shi)來報答梁(liang)(liang)武(wu)帝。
百丈(zhang)黃(huang)崖,壁(bi)立千(qian)仞,高聳入(ru)云,勢(shi)如斧劈,名神(shen)猿通天壁(bi),崖上為猿猴常居之地(di),別看這百丈(zhang)黃(huang)崖人無法(fa)爬上,猿猴卻可(ke)如飛攀援而上。幾年前,有(you)一(yi)(yi)村民(min)用(yong)獵槍打(da)傷(shang)一(yi)(yi)只(zhi)獼猴,眾獼猴見(jian)其未死,飛速爬下(xia),抬起傷(shang)者(zhe)飛速爬上絕壁(bi),村民(min)追之不及,只(zhi)好任(ren)其逃掉。崖頂(ding)也有(you)獼猴居住,不過由(you)于(yu)有(you)游人,不敢下(xia)來(lai)玩耍。由(you)于(yu)這面山崖只(zhi)有(you)猿猴能上,所(suo)以(yi)稱這面崖壁(bi)為“神(shen)猿通天壁(bi)”。
順著龍女瑤往上(shang)方遠(yuan)看(kan),那座(zuo)險(xian)峰形(xing)如將軍(jun)頭盔,上(shang)有一顆松樹又似盔上(shang)簪纓(ying),高大威(wei)武,氣(qi)度非凡,我們稱(cheng)它為(wei)將軍(jun)峰,似一位天神下凡,化(hua)為(wei)將軍(jun),守衛(wei)著這九龍大峽谷。
順鐵梯棧(zhan)道上(shang)行,可以(yi)(yi)欣賞到最純凈(jing)的(de)(de)嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan),嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)是(shi)龍王的(de)(de)第四(si)子。嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan)是(shi)潭(tan)(tan)上(shang)之潭(tan)(tan),峽中之潭(tan)(tan),碧(bi)水(shui)切開崖壁(bi),形如(ru)(ru)人工所鑿之石(shi)渠,下(xia)注嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng),夾潭(tan)(tan)石(shi)峽高(gao)可幾十(shi)丈,潭(tan)(tan)形似(si)大甕,上(shang)有(you)入口(kou)(kou)(kou),下(xia)有(you)出口(kou)(kou)(kou),又以(yi)(yi)酒胡蘆。仰視天空僅(jin)如(ru)(ru)井口(kou)(kou)(kou),俯視潭(tan)(tan)面,碧(bi)水(shui)清清如(ru)(ru)水(shui)晶,山光云影(ying)倒映如(ru)(ru)畫。潭(tan)(tan)底系(xi)整(zheng)個白石(shi),沙礫(li)皆無(wu),純凈(jing)無(wu)比,游魚往來,引人艷羨(xian)。龍王根(gen)據(ju)嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)好險(xian)的(de)(de)性格,才(cai)給它(ta)安(an)排了這處奇絕險(xian)怪的(de)(de)潭(tan)(tan)府(fu)。正因(yin)嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)好險(xian),常被(bei)人們把其形象刻在大殿(dian)的(de)(de)屋角上(shang),以(yi)(yi)鎮殿(dian)脊。嘲(chao)風(feng)(feng)潭(tan)(tan)據(ju)傳說是(shi)很有(you)靈驗的(de)(de)龍潭(tan)(tan),村民常來這里求雨(yu),有(you)求必(bi)應。
沿鐵梯(ti)棧道而上到兩山之間的過橋上,我們(men)可以(yi)(yi)游賞(shang)到第五潭,名叫狁猊潭。是一個長形狹(xia)窄(zhai)的小潭,水清潭靜,微波不(bu)起,平展(zhan)如鏡,寧靜無聲。狁猊喜靜坐,所以(yi)(yi)常被人們(men)刻(ke)在(zai)佛座上,以(yi)(yi)為標志。
霸(ba)下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia)潭(tan)上(shang)口半(ban)圓形(xing),如(ru)門緊(jin)閉,潭(tan)形(xing)如(ru)鏡,潭(tan)面較闊,左靠懸(xuan)崖,右近絕壁,萬重(zhong)大山(shan)壓(ya)下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia),千道(dao)巨(ju)(ju)嶺相連(lian)。霸(ba)下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia)是龍(long)王(wang)的(de)第六子,性喜負重(zhong),龍(long)王(wang)就把它(ta)的(de)潭(tan)府開在通天入云的(de)懸(xuan)崖絕壁下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia),潺潺流(liu)水匯其下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia),萬千巨(ju)(ju)峰壓(ya)其上(shang),“霸(ba)下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia)”居此安(an)居樂業(ye)。由于(yu)“霸(ba)下(xia)(xia)(xia)(xia)”好(hao)負重(zhong),形(xing)似巨(ju)(ju)龜,常被人(ren)們(men)刻在碑(bei)座上(shang),但常又被不識者誤(wu)認為龜馱石碑(bei)。
沿(yan)峽谷艱難前(qian)行,兩岸懸崖奇險(xian)無比,崖上原始灌木叢生。約(yue)行一(yi)二里,可見(jian)夾岸崖下一(yi)道(dao)碧潭(tan)(tan),潭(tan)(tan)平如(ru)鏡,潭(tan)(tan)底為整潔如(ru)玉的一(yi)塊白石(shi),平坦(tan)如(ru)砥(di),水清(qing)見(jian)底,兩峽夾峙,險(xian)峻異(yi)常。狴(bi)犴是龍王第七子(zi),辦事公(gong)正,喜理(li)訟案。民間流傳諺(yan)語:“訟事到潭(tan)(tan)前(qian),公(gong)道(dao)找(zhao)狴(bi)犴;是非何(he)用問,潭(tan)(tan)影(ying)自分辨(bian)。”因此(ci),狴(bi)犴常被人們刻在監獄門上,形狀似虎(hu),象征公(gong)正廉明。
繞過僅一尺寬的崖路,前(qian)面是第八(ba)道龍潭“赑bì屃(xi)xì潭”。赑屃(xi)是龍王八(ba)子,喜(xi)歡舞文(wen)弄墨,所以(yi)龍王開(kai)潭時,使其(qi)潭形如巨硯,潭邊巖(yan)石多紋。群峰夾(jia)峙,上似懸鐘覆(fu)蓋,下(xia)(xia)似殘月半(ban)圓,瀑(pu)流瀉(xie)入,山鳴谷應,空谷傳響,別有幽趣(qu)。潭水(shui)(shui)清(qing)清(qing),碧如翡翠,給(gei)人以(yi)晶瑩如女兒綠之感。相傳此(ci)(ci)作此(ci)(ci)潭水(shui)(shui)沐浴,一定能寫出(chu)世間(jian)錦繡文(wen)章,天(tian)下(xia)(xia)絕(jue)妙詩賦。因此(ci)(ci),赑bì屃(xi)xì常被人刻在石碑頂或邊緣(yuan)上,作為裝飾花紋。
第(di)九道龍潭(tan),也是最(zui)后一道龍潭(tan)──鴟(chi)(chi)吻潭(tan),必(bi)須攀崖(ya)牽(qian)藤,游蕩而過。由(you)(you)于龍王(wang)第(di)九子“鴟(chi)(chi)吻”善(shan)吞(tun)好(hao)水(shui),龍王(wang)就把(ba)它安排在(zai)最(zui)后,所(suo)有九潭(tan)之水(shui)均(jun)由(you)(you)其(qi)(qi)腹(fu)中包藏,由(you)(you)其(qi)(qi)口中吞(tun)吐。大有“腹(fu)盛龍潭(tan)千鐘水(shui),口吞(tun)峽谷萬重山”之勢。由(you)(you)于鴟(chi)(chi)吻好(hao)水(shui),常(chang)被人們刻(ke)在(zai)橋梁上,作為鎮水(shui)獸。飛瀑(pu)入潭(tan),山光水(shui)光,樹影云影,詩情畫(hua)意(yi),天籟(lai)悠(you)悠(you)。
九(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)大峽谷(gu)的(de)最(zui)后一(yi)景是“龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)水(shui)源瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)”。位于(yu)九(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)峽谷(gu)的(de)最(zui)后部。這里(li)山(shan)陡林密,四季風光各(ge)異。一(yi)億四千(qian)(qian)萬年(nian)(nian)前燕山(shan)造山(shan)運動,使這里(li)有(you)(you)一(yi)股地(di)下(xia)(xia)巖隙水(shui)噴薄而出,萬古(gu)不竭(jie)的(de)泉水(shui)從(cong)山(shan)崖上落下(xia)(xia),飛花碎(sui)玉,晶瑩多芒(mang),宛(wan)如(ru)楊花柳(liu)絮,飄(piao)飄(piao)蕩蕩,生(sheng)機勃(bo)勃(bo)。飛瀑(pu)(pu)入(ru)潭(tan),回(hui)清倒影,良多趣味。相傳這瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)是在(zai)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王開辟九(jiu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)時(shi),怕有(you)(you)一(yi)天潭(tan)水(shui)會干,便長年(nian)(nian)引來四海(hai)之水(shui),水(shui)來龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)后,眾(zhong)生(sheng)全求之于(yu)它,龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)王又(you)愁如(ru)何(he)分配,思考再三,最(zui)后決定,把(ba)水(shui)灑在(zai)千(qian)(qian)山(shan)萬谷(gu)之中。除(chu)去眾(zhong)生(sheng)所(suo)需,余下(xia)(xia)的(de)匯流于(yu)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)水(shui)源。為(wei)一(yi)見之下(xia)(xia)可知水(shui)量,又(you)開辟了(le)“龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)水(shui)源瀑(pu)(pu)布(bu)”。“飛瀑(pu)(pu)之下(xia)(xia),必有(you)(you)深潭(tan)”,因此,九(jiu)道(dao)龍(long)(long)(long)(long)(long)潭(tan)長年(nian)(nian)水(shui)量充足(zu),如(ru)九(jiu)星(xing)聯珠,蔚為(wei)古(gu)今奇(qi)觀。
這口井(jing)就是天下奇(qi)(qi)觀──太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing)。井(jing)深(shen)8米,是一(yi)口枯井(jing)。這口井(jing)的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)(qi)之(zhi)處不(bu)(bu)在水,而在于它的神(shen)(shen)奇(qi)(qi)變(bian)化。每當冬季到(dao)來的時(shi)候,井(jing)內溫熱如(ru)夏,時(shi)有騰騰白氣(qi)自(zi)井(jing)口冒出(chu)。近觀則(ze)(ze)(ze)溫潤撲面,暖(nuan)人(ren)心房;遠(yuan)看(kan)則(ze)(ze)(ze)云霧氤(yin)氳,配以古樸農戶,游(you)人(ren)至此,如(ru)至仙境。時(shi)至炎(yan)夏,井(jing)內凝(ning)寒結冰,凜凜寒風從井(jing)中(zhong)吹出(chu),滿院生(sheng)涼。近前(qian)則(ze)(ze)(ze)清冽(lie)襲人(ren),砭人(ren)肌骨(gu);遠(yuan)觀則(ze)(ze)(ze)綠峰(feng)翠嶺環抱,山居古樸,幽思(si)曠渺。自(zi)古陰陽(yang)不(bu)(bu)兩立,水火(huo)不(bu)(bu)相(xiang)容(rong),冰炭不(bu)(bu)同爐,可是這口太(tai)極八(ba)(ba)卦井(jing)則(ze)(ze)(ze)融陰陽(yang)之(zhi)氣(qi),糅(rou)水火(huo)之(zhi)功(gong),同冰炭之(zhi)用,冬則(ze)(ze)(ze)生(sheng)暖(nuan),夏則(ze)(ze)(ze)凝(ning)寒;地脈靈泉,神(shen)(shen)異(yi)如(ru)斯,自(zi)古稀見。
關于(yu)(yu)(yu)太(tai)(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)井,還有個神秘(mi)的傳說。當年華(hua)夏第一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)條祖(zu)龍(long)(long)居于(yu)(yu)(yu)九龍(long)(long)潭外龍(long)(long)窩(wo)時(shi)(shi),兒女(nv)眾多,高朋滿(man)座(zuo),經常龍(long)(long)子(zi)龍(long)(long)孫聚會,時(shi)(shi)時(shi)(shi)神仙來訪,晏會常開,山珍海味常備不時(shi)(shi)之(zhi)(zhi)需。可(ke)是(shi)冬天(tian)(tian)(tian)寒冷食物變硬(ying),夏天(tian)(tian)(tian)炎熱,食物易腐(fu)。這(zhe)時(shi)(shi)太(tai)(tai)(tai)上老(lao)君剛剛在(zai)(zai)九龍(long)(long)潭老(lao)君洞內修(xiu)成(cheng)正(zheng)果,為了(le)(le)報答龍(long)(long)王給他找的修(xiu)煉(lian)靜地,于(yu)(yu)(yu)是(shi)便將(jiang)開宗(zong)創派之(zhi)(zhi)寶太(tai)(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)圖(tu)(tu)畫了(le)(le)副本,贈與龍(long)(long)王。龍(long)(long)王掘開地脈靈泉,把(ba)太(tai)(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)圖(tu)(tu)埋(mai)下(xia),開創了(le)(le)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)座(zuo)儲藏山珍海味的寶庫(ku)。太(tai)(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)圖(tu)(tu)有包羅萬象顛倒陰陽之(zhi)(zhi)功,這(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫(ku)冬天(tian)(tian)(tian)變暖(nuan),夏天(tian)(tian)(tian)生涼。一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)年四季,龍(long)(long)王都(dou)(dou)能吃到鮮嫩的山珍海味了(le)(le)。后(hou)來,大(da)海東(dong)移,龍(long)(long)王在(zai)(zai)臨行前用法(fa)術封(feng)存了(le)(le)這(zhe)座(zuo)寶庫(ku),只留下(xia)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)個通氣(qi)孔。物換(huan)星移,滄(cang)海桑田(tian),這(zhe)通氣(qi)孔被村民挖井時(shi)(shi)偶(ou)然找到,于(yu)(yu)(yu)是(shi)便成(cheng)今天(tian)(tian)(tian)的天(tian)(tian)(tian)下(xia)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)大(da)奇(qi)觀(guan)──太(tai)(tai)(tai)極(ji)(ji)八(ba)(ba)卦(gua)井。夏季,如(ru)果你把(ba)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)桶水(shui)放入(ru)井中,一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)夜(ye)之(zhi)(zhi)間(jian)會結成(cheng)寒冰(bing);冬季,你把(ba)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)塊冰(bing)放入(ru)井中,它(ta)會融化成(cheng)水(shui)。以(yi)至(zhi)這(zhe)位(wei)農(nong)民靠近井的這(zhe)間(jian)屋子(zi)都(dou)(dou)溫暖(nuan)如(ru)春,即(ji)使穿(chuan)短褲下(xia)到井內也不覺(jue)寒冷。不信請朋友們提出井中的水(shui)桶看(kan)一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)看(kan),不看(kan)不知道(dao),一(yi)(yi)(yi)(yi)看(kan)真奇(qi)妙。
這九(jiu)曲十八彎的山道上再回首凝望(wang)九(jiu)龍潭這片神奇(qi)的景區,看那云籠霧(wu)(wu)罩的群峰與峽谷,給你(ni)以撲朔迷離(li)之美(mei),這就是九(jiu)龍峽谷的又(you)一奇(qi)觀:霧(wu)(wu)鎖峽谷。傳(chuan)說九(jiu)龍潭蛇(she)比較多,蛇(she)是龍的變種(zhong),眾蛇(she)所吐之氣(qi),常能封住(zhu)山谷,使人感到神秘莫測。

九龍潭(tan)自然(ran)風景區面積約30平(ping)方公里,動植物資(zi)源(yuan)十分(fen)豐富,曾是清東(dong)陵“后龍風水禁地”的(de)后封山,山上為半原(yuan)始森林次生狀態,有(you)“京(jing)東(dong)綠(lv)色寶庫”的(de)美稱。
