九龍瀑在丞相源下,苦竹溪上。瀑水源于天都、玉屏、煉丹、仙掌諸峰,出丞相源,然后在香爐、羅漢兩峰間的懸崖上飛瀉而下,拋珠濺玉,激流滾滾,一折一瀑,一瀑一潭,轉折九次,形成九段飛瀑,九處深潭。“第一瀑”長100米,若銀河垂懸,極其壯美,瀑頂五個直徑為1米的冰臼,名為五星洞,瀑水漫其上形成水簾。第一潭圓形,直徑50米,三面石壁各高百米,形成一個大壺天。潭邊峭壁上更有一大丹井,直徑8米,非常奇特。“第二瀑”長20米,卵形,長徑30米,寬徑15米。潭中兩端又各有一深潭。里潭深18米,外潭深10米。傳說,為龍母孵化卵處,故又名龍母潭。“第三瀑”長100米,圓形,直徑20米,位于峭壁間,深不可測。瀑邊懸崖有臺,名觀瀑臺。“第四瀑”長20米,橢圓形,長徑30米,潭邊有大冰臼,直徑5米。“第五瀑”長10米,魚形,又名魚龍潭。“第六瀑”長10米,潭中有潭,內潭深不可測,形似心,翠美異常,又名龍心潭,潭邊有松,一枝下伸,水大時,撫水擺動,名撫龍松。“第七瀑”長15米,潭圓形,直徑25米。瀑后有一洞穴,瀑布覆掛其前,形成水簾洞。“第八瀑”長5米,潭圓形,直徑20米,水色艷麗,潭邊有冰臼。“第九瀑”長120米,飛珠濺玉,底部若扇形展開,壯美迷人。第九潭潭中有一冰臼,直徑2米,色若翡翠,明艷照人。會龍亭為觀看諸瀑的理想位置。賞九龍瀑的最佳地點是九龍亭舊址,最好時間是大雨之后。每當此時,瀑水飛溢,傾瀉下折,折而復聚,聚而又折,懸掛于千仞青壁之上,恰似九條白龍騰空飛降,氣勢極為雄偉壯觀。前(qian)人曾賦詩贊(zan)曰:“飛(fei)泉不(bu)讓匡廬(lu)瀑(pu),峭壁撐天(tian)掛九龍。”明(ming)代(dai)楊(yang)補也曾詠(yong)道:“欲下青峰趾(zhi)不(bu)前(qian),斷崖立杖更依然。直看九派飛(fei)流下,消人蒼茫破作煙。”若久晴不(bu)雨,九龍瀑(pu)又似(si)游(you)絲練帶,細(xi)流不(bu)竭,清(qing)水深潭,碧瑩可鑒,另是一番景(jing)象。
龍(long)禪院相傳是黃(huang)帝(di)(di)派云(yun)陽先生在(zai)此養龍(long)所(suo)筑的一(yi)所(suo)石屋,乾隆皇帝(di)(di)微服游(you)山后(hou)(hou)在(zai)此坐(zuo)禪祭天,后(hou)(hou)人(ren)為(wei)(wei)了(le)紀念(nian)之而建(jian)的集儒、佛、道為(wei)(wei)一(yi)體的寺院。寺院門口香燭高擎,香霧(wu)繚繞,兩(liang)旁(pang)的樹枝(zhi)上掛滿紅(hong)布條(tiao),給人(ren)以一(yi)種特別(bie)的感(gan)覺。
梅(mei)林書屋(wu)遺址(zhi)據考證是清(qing)代(dai)歙人父子丞相曹振(zhen)鏞(yong)、曹文植在此苦(ku)讀而(er)建的,書屋(wu)以土圍墻,樹(shu)皮為頂,塌(ta)毀(hui)于清(qing)代(dai)末年(nian),現所見(jian)的只(zhi)是一堆亂石。
