Zhenwu was even more puzzled and asked how such a thick iron pestle could be ground into fine needles. The old woman took this opportunity to enlighten her and said, "The iron pestle grinds fine needles, and the work will come naturally." After listening to this, the prince had an epiphany, so he returned to the mountain and practiced again.

Three-day tour of Wudang Mountain

1. On the first morning, I arrived at Wudang Mountain Scenic Area, visited Jinding and Taizipo, watched Wudang martial arts performance in Xiaoyao Valley at 3.3 pm, and stayed in the scenic hotel at night

2. On the second day, I visited Zixiao Palace, the ninth blessed place in the Tang Dynasty, and Nanyan Palace, the Forbidden City on the cliff. This is the birth and enlightenment day of Xuanwu God, and the Dharma will be grand, usually lasting for three days. 3. On the third day, you can visit Wulong Palace, Yuxu Palace, Jingle Palace or Zhang Sanfeng's Taiji Zuting Meet the True Palace, which is one of the places of interest in China that you must visit in your life. The best strategy is to go there in person and watch it on the spot.
