In recent years, the Internet** and movies with the theme of time travel have been very popular, and the protagonist in the play accidentally travels to another time and space, showing his strength in it, creating a history of parallel time and space. In our country, there is a saying that "seven days in the cave, a thousand years in the world", which means that ordinary people accidentally enter the fairyland by chance, meet the immortals, only stay in it for a while, and only find when they return to the world, the outside world has been a thing, and the time has passed thousands of years. From here, it can be seen that the space where the immortals are located is different from that of mortals.

Taoism has the saying "Dongtian blessed land", "Dongtian" means that there is a cave in the mountain that can go directly to the heavens, it refers to the fairyland of Taoism, which is considered to be the place where the gods live. Most of the fairies where the immortals live are located in the thirty-six heavens, and some high-level innate gods generally reside in the upper heavens of the thirty-six heavens. For example, the Three Qing Tianzun, namely the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Lingbao Tianzun and the Daode Tianzun, the Yuan Shi Tianzun resides in the Jade Qing Holy Realm of the Qingwei Heaven of the 35th Heavy Heaven;Lingbao Tianzun resides in the Halal Realm above the Thirty-fourth Heaven of Shangyu Heaven;Daode Tianzun resides in the Taiqing Immortal Realm of the Great Red Heaven of the Thirty-third Heaven. The Queen Mother of the West, the head of the fairies, lives in the Yaochi of Kunlun Mountain, and there are many immortals living in the distant sea, such as the Penglai Sanshen Mountain, namely Penglai, the abbot and the three islands of Yinghai.

The "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" that exists in the world is the place where practitioners dream of cultivating and becoming immortals, and Taoism has ten major caves, thirty-six small caves, and seventy-two blessed places. There is a cloud in the "Heaven and Earth Palace Map": "The Ten Caves of Heaven are located between the famous mountains of the earth, and they are the places where the heavens send the immortals to rule." And the thirty-six caves are also "there is no sun, moon and stars, the spirit fairy palace, the lord is blessed with sin, the death and life are recorded, there is a high truth basis, and the immortal king is reasonable."

Many Taoist immortals have become immortals in the blessed land of Dongtian, such as Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Liu Haichan, etc., the patriarchs of the Quanzhen School, all of whom have lived in seclusion in the "crown of the cave" of Zhongnan MountainAncestor Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling once practiced and preached in Qingcheng Mountain, the "Fifth Cave Heaven", and finally soared with the ** daylight;The three brothers of the Mao family, namely Mao Ying, Mao Gu and Mao Zhen, came to Maoshan Mountain, the "Eighth Cave Heaven", and saw that this place was a holy place for Qing cultivation, so they chose to practice in seclusion here, and finally realized ...... enlightenmentAs a place of immortal dwelling, ordinary people have no chance with the immortal road even if they come, but there are also some people in folklore who encounter the strange fate of immortals in the blessed land of Dongtian.

Taiping Guangji cites the record of "Wuling Ji" that in the 26th year of Emperor Yuanjia of Song Wen of the Southern Dynasty, there was a farmer named Wen Guangtong in Teng Village, Chenxi County, who had been farming for generations.

On this day, when Wen Guangtong went to work in the field with farm tools, he saw a wild boar gnawing on the crops in the field from a distance. Wen Guangtong took out a bow and arrow from his back and shot at the wild boar, and the wild boar fled in a hurry after being hit by the arrow. Wen Guangtong followed the footprints of the wild boar for dozens of miles, and found that the wild boar finally disappeared into a cave. Wen Guangtong pursued along the cave, about 300 steps, the dark and narrow cave suddenly became clear, hundreds of houses appeared in front of him, looked back for the wild boar, and found that it had run into a farmer's pigsty.

At this time, an old man came out of the house and angrily asked Wen Guangtong why he shot his pig. Wen Guangtong explained the reason to him and apologized to the old man. The old man gave up and invited him to his home. Wen Guangtong followed the old man into the house, and found that there were more than a dozen scholars wearing Zhang Fu crowns and wide-sleeved shirts, they were sitting around discussing the Tao Te Ching, and there was a beautiful sound of the piano next to them.

The old man told him that these people in the house had all come here to avoid Xia Ji's **, and now they have all cultivated to become immortals. Wen Guangtong was amazed when he heard this, and after the old man told him that he was finished, he sent him to the entrance of the cave.

When Wen Guangtong returned to the cave entrance, he found that Fang's bow and arrows at the cave entrance had long since rotted, and twelve years had passed since he returned home. His family thought he had passed away and did nothing for him, and now everyone is very surprised to see Wen Guangtong again. Wen Guangtong told the villagers about the strange encounter, and when the next day the group arrived at the entrance of the cave, they found that it had been blocked by a boulder.
