Section 5: Crossing Taibai Mountain for the third time: Baxian Terrace to watch the sunrise

Finally, at half past four in the afternoon, we came to the 3767.2-meter-high Daye Sea.

There is still a reason for the fog, and the sea of uncles I saw did not come to shock me for the first time, that time, the sunset sprinkled in the lake, the golden light is shining, and the lake is bright! Today's lake is as calm as a gray mirror, and the lake clearly reflects the sea of stones on the slope of the Sendai Mountain, which is connected with the large and small stones next to it, making this place like a rocky depression. This is also stronger than last year, at least I saw the sea from afar. Last year, I walked to the water's edge, and I realized that when I arrived at the Uncle Sea, the fog was too thick. Even so, it made us happy after a day of walking. Because, we arrived at the Great Uncle's Sea under Baxian Terrace, today's campsite.

The first thing I did when I arrived at the Uncle Sea was to make the bed. It's just that we don't have experience and don't know that Dawen Gong and Ye Hai are run by the same family. When I was at Dawen Gong Temple, I didn't communicate with the boss who made an appointment on the phone. The proprietress of the big house did not recognize the original price, and said that it was 100 yuan. There is no way, an hour later it will be 120 yuan. Even if she asks for three hundred dollars, she still has to sleep.

It came too early, the weather was cloudy, and I couldn't see the sunset, let alone the sunset. We prepared dinner early, and our romantic companion said to have a fireside by the lake. So, we made a great dinner here. This time the companions were very gentlemen, and I ate and drank comfortably without doing anything.

It's just that I couldn't get on because of the cold down jacket I came the first two times, so this time I only brought cold-proof fleece, and after chatting by the lake for a long time, I felt the cold permeating my body, and I soon felt a little cold. That's where the discomfort begins. I told my companion that I couldn't sit here anymore, and he couldn't get enough of it.

I slept on the lower bunk tonight. It is still a chase bunk for men and women, and it sleeps five people on two beds, two large quilts, and a single small quilt. I slept alone, and it was so cold that I couldn't say it when I lay down, and it was cold up and down, so I put on the moisture-proof mat that my companion had brought. I put my companion's big quilt on again, and it took a long time for me to recover.

At eight o'clock, the room was close to saturation and it was not cold. My head started to hurt slightly, and my nose was so blocked that I couldn't breathe, so I had to open my mouth to breathe. This scared me, and I was worried that I would always be angry with my mouth open from now on. Although my nose has always been allergic, which makes me very uncomfortable, I am reluctant to lose its function since then. This is a symptom of hyperreflex. It was at this time that I regretted coming to Taibai Mountain for the first time. What I think is that the conditions at home are so good, if you don't come to the big house, you won't live in such a poor room, it's really self-inflicted. Now, give up the idea of coming back.

Fortunately, the discomfort in the nose was relieved after half an hour, and the discomfort in the head has always been there, and it hurts like a cold. Gao Liang appeared so early, one is related to the fact that I was frozen by the lake just now, and the other is that I only went to Dongliang four days ago, and my body was very consumed and I did not recover. Because, high reaction has a lot to do with the fatigue of the body.

I still didn't sleep well that night, the big room of more than 80 people was messy, and the lights were not turned off all night, as bright as day. There is a lack of oxygen in crowded rooms, many people are talking about headaches, and many people think that they have a cold and then take cold medicine. The first two times I came, I didn't have a high reaction, and I had a headache when I fell asleep. This time it was even more uncomfortable. And because we went to bed too early (I fell asleep at seven o'clock), the three of us kept waking up, kept asking what time it was, and always felt that we had "slept" for a long time.

It was finally past four o'clock in the morning. The people watching the sunrise are starting to get up. We made up our minds to pay attention to five o'clock before we set off. I checked the sunrise time the day before, and it was 5:10.

Seeing that the people in the room were almost finished, we couldn't lie down. We packed up and went out at 4:40. It was dark outside, and the road was out of sight. In the dawn, the sea couldn't be seen, and he forgot that there were "sleeping" immortals on the lake, so he didn't wave goodbye like the previous two times. I just walked to the dumb mouth on the west side of the uncle's sea in the dark, and I could vaguely see the situation under my feet when I bent over. Originally, I went up from the dumb mouth on the west side of the uncle's sea. Looking up at the east, the east has been slightly white, and the morning light is slightly dewed. Under normal circumstances, it takes 50 minutes to an hour to get to Patsendai. Depending on the situation, it will not be able to catch the sunrise. I made a mistake in decision-making, because I got up half an hour late and missed two companions. Alas, I blame myself in my heart.

At this time, his companion verified that "the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", and he decided to turn to the bottom of the mountain above the uncle's sea, which is estimated to be the middle position of the Xiantai girder, and "kill" a road. His companion led the way in front and went straight up from the rocks above the sea in the dark. At this time, my headache did not decrease, and I still had stomach discomfort, and the high reaction worsened. Afraid that his companions would worry, and that they would miss the sunrise, they didn't say anything, and they didn't worry about them, so they had to follow and climb up. I told them not to wait for me, but to climb up.

The mountain near the sea lord is basically vertical during the day, and I have never seen anyone go up and down from here. Originally, I was worried that it would be very dangerous to go up like this, but I didn't expect that the stone sea here is full of paths. It seems that all of them are stepped on by people who come up in the dark to watch the sunrise like us. It's like going to Mount Huashan in the dark at night, because you can't see clearly, you don't know how to be afraid. We are the same today. This hillside is full of rocks, and when it gets dark, I always bend over, feel the stones, and climb straight up. "Climbing", at this moment is the exact action. If you straighten up, you will lean back, and you will not be able to see your feet clearly. I had to climb this stone and climb to another stone. Fortunately, there is a sea of stones on this hillside, if it was a dirt slope, it would have rolled down to the sea of the great master and slept in a quilt with the gods.

The companion leading the way in front kept cutting upwards in the direction, and he could no longer feel anyone walking among the rocks. He kept telling us that the stone behind him was shaking, and that we couldn't walk between the stones.

The east is gradually becoming innocent, the clouds are opening by themselves, and it should be dawn. The light also faintly shined through. But we were still climbing up in the sea of rocks under the mountain beams, and we were so anxious that I didn't know when I lost my hat. At this time, I could see the sea of stones clearly, and I saw that there were all kinds of rocks around us, but I was not afraid. These stones have been available in the Qinling Mountains, and there will be no "dominoes" today.

The eastern light grew stronger and stronger, and a golden light broke through. The companion who climbed at the front looked from afar and was almost on the top of the mountain. He shouted to both of us: Don't worry, we can't catch up.

Alas, this is what happened. In this dawn, in the steep sea of rocks, I had a headache, a stomach ache, a hurry, a happy spirit, and tenaciously went all the way up.

Finally, at 5:15, I went up to the 20-mile-long flat girder at the top of Mt. Basendai. In other words, it took us half an hour to go from the 3,590-meter-high Euphaekai to the top of Mt. Basendai at an altitude of 3,767.2 meters. And when I cut to the position on the beam, I was not far from the Taoist temple courtyard in Sendai, and it was a third of the way through the girder!

The first two times were almost nine o'clock to the girder, and at that time, the twenty-mile horse girder was shining with golden light. Now, on the horse beams in the dawn, in a clear mist, the masters on the beams, the large and small mani piles, and the stones that are like resting here and driving passers-by, that is, the immortals I am talking about, all seem to be asleep, and there is silence on the horse beams.

I didn't sleep well today, but I couldn't rest here, and without slowing down my steps, the three of them hurriedly walked towards the position of Basendai. Baxiantai is the top of the Qinling Mountains, and the mountains are under it. Therefore, it is the best place to watch the sunrise. Because at the easternmost end of the mountain top beam, there is a ruined Taoist temple building, blocking the front of the end of the beam (that is, the position of the god on the legendary Jiang Ziya pulling out the Sendai). Now the East sees nothing. On the girder on the west side of the building, the sun can usually be seen after 8 o'clock. Therefore, where we are now is dark. Well, we don't know anything about the sunrise at the Sendai location. When we walked through the dilapidated courtyard wall and Taoist temple to the position where we watched the sunrise from Baxian Terrace, we were greeted by a surprise shout from the three of us: It's almost sunrise!

I saw that the east was already a narrow red glow like a pond, and it was in the East China Sea!

At this time, the Sendai was full of people, and the walls were also full of people. We hurriedly squeezed over and stood on the edge of the cliff (with a wooden fence) and looked excitedly to the east. There are many dark jewel-like clouds in the red pond, and the red glow shines through the dark blue clouds. Many people say that the clouds are too thick and they can't see the full sunrise today. Some people say that yes, it may have risen a long time ago.

Those who say this are early arrivals. We had just arrived, and after listening to them, we decided that it was too late, the sun had already jumped over the horizon, and now we were bathing in the golden pond.

That's when some people started to leave. I can't see the sunrise when I think to myself, so let's wait for the light to be stronger, and then take a photo of Basendai covered in colorful glow. At this moment, the mountains in front of him suddenly turned dark like night, and the golden pond shone brightly into the sky. At this time, I heard a man standing on the wall behind him shouting: Look, Weihe!

I was shocked and quickly looked into the distance. Ah, I see it! In the darkness below the golden pond under the strong chiaroscuro, a curved, mirror-like jade belt appeared—it was the Wei River!

Witnessing this scene, I muttered excitedly: It turns out that what is written in the "Commentary on the Book of Water" is true! I can really see the Wei River here! When I wrote an article after I came last time, I mentioned this in the literature, which may not be seen by modern people. However, I was so lucky today!

At this moment, there was a surprise shout from behind him: Hurry, the sun is coming out.

Oh, really, the sun is coming out of the golden pool! Everyone is excited! Everyone starts counting down over and over again: ten, nine, eight, seven......

The east is like golden lava, golden and splendid! The ensuing ten thousand rays of light pierced the eyes and could not open them, and when I squinted and saw that it was a red sun, which appeared more and more from the golden pond, and when most of the sun came out, the clouds above the sun changed from the deep blue just now to a translucent golden red, and the morning glow filled the sky, and the clouds in the east were inlaid with gold edges.

The intense golden light shone on us, and the sun was clearly visible. Every happy face was glowing with golden light, and the golden light on Sendai was shining. At this time, looking down at the mountains in the radiant light, all the mountains are golden and become golden mountains. At this moment, we and the mountains are dyed one color by the sun, and we are one and golden!

The fiery red sun was rising, and at the last moment, in the blink of an eye, a golden pond jumped out, and a round of red sun erupted, shining with golden light. The majestic Taibai Mountain is in front of us at a glance. The earth has woken up, and a new day has arrived.

When we started to take a group photo in front of the stone monument in Batsendai, my companion said, "Look, the sky is cloudy again, and we are so lucky that it happened to be sunny when the sun rose just now." "I also felt very lucky, and I got my wish when I saw the sunrise for the first time (I later learned that this is the case in the early morning, and when the sun is past three poles, it will be sunny.) )。 And, here, the first two times I was dressed in colorful glow, and just now it was in the midst of golden light. All of this is a great blessing for me!

When we left the position to watch the sunrise and walked to the landmark of Basendai in the courtyard, we looked at the bright red stone carving: Baxiantai is 3767.2 meters, and our hearts were very excited for a while. Because since last night's high reaction, I have no previous determination about whether to come to Taibai Mountain again. Moreover, the first two times I came here were after nine o'clock, and I was dressed in colorful glow in the photos I inadvertently left. I came three hours early today, and the sun was still shining below. So, in the early morning fog, I smiled goodbye to it. Goodbye, Ba Sendai for me, no regrets, everything is complete.

Leaving the dilapidated Taoist temple ruins, and then coming to the racecourse, seeing that it was still in a state of sleep in the early morning, in order not to disturb the rest of the gods, it was decided to start descending from the middle of the beam. On the occasion of leaving the girder, I once again faced the girder at the top of the mountain, facing Basendai, and sent my respect with a smile.

I didn't say goodbye. I just said silently in my heart: I used to say that I would come every year, only until I couldn't climb the mountain. However, the existing accommodation conditions are too poor. I'm not sure if I'll come back next year!

Leaving the summit girdle of Basendai, I was about to head south.
