Section 7 The mountains of Zigeyu and the rivers of Gaoguanyu

The mountain of Zigeyu and the river of Gaoguanyu

Two weeks of relatively high sea dials and long-distance crossings have not fully recovered my body, and I obviously feel tired this week, so I can't travel far, and I won't be tempted by the best routes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For me, who can't remember the way, I can only go to the familiar place Wat Pho for a short distance. As a result, the Reclining Buddha Temple did not go to the end, and the last thing to go to was the Zigeyu crossing the Gaoguan Pond. Because I'm familiar with it here, too.

I have walked the road leading to Zigeyu countless times in the village. Today, for the first time, I felt that it was so steep. Before I entered Zigeyu, I was already exhausted and out of breath. When I started to go up the mountain, I lost my strength at all, my chest was so tight that I wanted to stop, I couldn't relieve my body, and my sweat and hair were wet.

I thought it was caused by my physical fatigue, but then I realized that the fog floating around me could wring out the water when I grabbed a handful of humidity, and I realized that it was caused by the weather being too cloudy and the air pressure was too low. I had to slow down my cadence and try to make myself feel better.

If you walk slowly, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery on this mountain. The shrubs on both sides are really the same every week, the young shoots with buds in the previous week, this week they all opened their mouths, and they scrambled to poke out their heads, and a pinch and a pinch of tender yellow are beautiful. And all the way up the mountain, the blooming peach blossoms jump in from time to time, the petals, the pink, so thick that people are drunk. I didn't expect that there was a row of willow trees on this ridge, and the tassel-like branches were covered with goose-yellow catkins. Looking at all this, my mind went back and forth like a swing with the swaying wicker......

There are also quite a few people crossing here today, and there are two groups. I was able to enjoy a scenery that I would not normally encounter: a team of 72 first-year-old junior high school students. The little students carry the chopping board and the cooking pot on their backs.

In the past two years, when I was climbing the mountain, I met a lot of people on the mountain. It's the first time I've seen it on such a large scale and at such a young age. The twelve-year-old student's chirping like a finch adds a lot of color to the dreary mountain. I was so happy that I couldn't bear to surpass them after them, so I suffered a big loss. On a mountainside, I called on them not to stop and move quickly, because it was too slippery and the temperature was too low.

As a result, they walked forward quickly, following me, and suddenly, the golden flowers splashed in front of me, and if I did not advance, I retreated, and almost sat down on the hill backwards. Because of a large tree that stands in the way of the road, the height is just above the students. They spared them and caught me—and I could clearly feel the blood trickling under the skin on the top of my head to my eyes.

Looking at this tree, I was really angry. On the way to Wat Pho, that same roadblock tree touched me countless times. If you gather all the splashes of gold flowers there, you can light up a pitch in the dark. However, that tree, after communication, I learned that it was a 'meritorious' tree, because it had met many good climbers. And this nasty tree is against me alone. I'm going to get revenge.

I covered my head and said to my companion, "In order to prevent it from touching anyone else, I have a knife in my bag, take it out and cut it down." ”

"You're so right. As he spoke, my companion looked for a knife in my bag.

"Oh, hehe! This is a knife? This tree is more than 20 centimeters in diameter, and this knife is only 4 centimeters long. We can't cut it off even if our hair is gray. Haha....." said his companion with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, carry forward the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, and cut down trees here in the future. "I didn't have the heart to say.

Come to think of it, if you cut down this tree here all day, it seems a little unpromising. Go!

All the way muddy, all the way up. After a long walk, we reached the top of the mountain. Unexpectedly, when I looked into the distance, I found that there was a large open field on the east side of the mountaintop, which was slightly downward. There is a row of houses waiting there quietly, and the peach blossoms are blooming in front of the house and behind the house. To the east of the house is a very large piece of land that has sown some seeds, and I am looking forward to it. Looking at it from afar, I really feel that Tao Yuanming must have lived here.

This mountain of the Qinling Mountains is really mysterious and infinite, and where you have not reached the footsteps, you can never imagine that there will be any magic there.

I gave up the opportunity to raise the mountain and walked quickly towards the row of houses. When I arrived at the front and back of the door, I found that the house was all hidden, and I didn't see any life. I moved a small stool in front of the house and sat down next to the stone mill in front of the door. I wondered how this grinding disc, which was more than two meters in diameter, got to the top of this mountain. Look at the surroundings and the running water. It's so great for people to live in. But looking at the small number of houses, imagining that the population is not too large, I actually feel that it is too wasteful for them to live here.

At this time, when a man came out of a house and bent down to get firewood, I noticed that he had a boundary scar on his head. Oh, it turns out this is a monk's temple. Disappointment rose in my heart: how blessed they were.

"Such a thick peach tree, how delicious it will be to produce watertight peaches in the future! And that land, will it be planted with watermelons, melons, or whatever? No, when it's harvest season, you have to share in their fruits. Get started now. "I said to the fellow travelers.

I learned from Sun Wukong's voice and said, "Master, is there boiling water?"

No one spoke. I searched from left to right, house by house, but I didn't see anyone. When I stepped into the empty house, I was shocked by what I saw: there was a small statue and a young monk in a robe standing next to it. I followed the local custom and said, "Bodhisattva bless." After saying that, he felt amused again, and hurriedly asked the monk, "Is this a bodhisattva?"

"Amitabha, yes. ”

I stepped out and just happened to see the master collecting firewood. "Does the master have boiling water?"

"Yes, yes. I'll get it for you. He took out two thermos from the room and placed them on the millstone.

Seeing that there was a supply of boiling water here, the travelers came over to replenish it. One of them, a man with seven adults and children, sat around. As he drank the water, the man asked, "Why is there so much boiling water?"

"It's the monk here. I asked him.

"What temple will there be?" he said, not caring.

"That's right, after I went in just now, I came out with boiling water to drink. "I'm kind of funny.

"It's really that accurate. Then I'll go and give some incense money. He said as he pulled out. "Why don't you have change? ”

I glanced up at him. Think about it and say, "Then I'll give you the change, you can put it away." ”

"Why?"

"Because, you said you were going to donate incense money. You have benefited the most here, and you should keep the money. If you don't stay, then I have to stay. I asked the master to take out the water. "I mean it.

"That's right, then I'll go. The man walked towards the house with the statue.

When he came out, I looked at him and just wanted to laugh. I said to the traveler next to me, "This is fate." The master brought me two bottles of water, but I didn't expect to bring them 100 yuan. What kind of water did you think the man was drinking?"

The female traveler Lavender covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Really, how could he have met so coincidentally." ”

"These two bottles of water are obviously bait! I have attracted investment to the temple. I really admire myself. I laughed too......

I was naïve, because of this little episode, which made me want to laugh when I thought about it along the way. On the way down the mountain, I met this man repeatedly, and he always looked at me with an inquiring eye. I held back a smile, and his face was so calm that he couldn't talk to me.

On the way down, I saw the river that formed the high-crown waterfall. Deep in the heart of the mountains, the river has a wide and low bed, and the water rushes down. I stood by the river, looking at the crystal clear water, wondering where all this water came from and where the source of the river was.

I liked this river very much at first sight, because the whole river is very wide, but the river is very shallow, and I can clearly see the large and small pebbles under the water, so the whole river gives me the feeling of a lying giant's outstretched chest, and there is a shocking tolerance.

I've been to see Gaoguantan n times, if it weren't for today's crossing. I would never have imagined that it was so far upstream, and that it was such a wide river here. I thought it was just a spectacular drop. And I stood by the river, looking at the tourists on both sides of the river, and felt that its beauty was here, in this wide river, in this clear river......
