Autumn to Guanyin Mountain

I haven't climbed the mountain for two weekends in a row, so why do I have to go up the mountain this week. This week there is only one day off, and I can only climb relatively low-intensity mountains. After seeing an outdoor group organization on the Internet to go to Dongguanyin Mountain, I was not very happy to sign up. Because this line goes too many times. But the intensity is moderate, the crossing distance is about 16 highways, and the absolute elevation is nearly 1000 meters. The summit of Guanyin Mountain is 2,500 meters above sea level. If the weather is clear, if you look up at the bottom of the mountain, you can see the temple buildings on the top of the mountain with the clouds in the clouds. Therefore, this alone is desirable.

After getting on the bus and setting off, I found that it was jointly organized by two outdoor groups. This is because during the National Day holiday just past, many people went to other places and have not yet rested. From the discussion of the people in the car, I heard that most of the people who came to climb the mountain today did not go out to play during the National Day holiday.

Today is another good day. When the car drove into Fengyu, the sun in the mountains was dazzling. The further the car drove into the mountains, the bluer the sky became. After getting off at the intersection of Guanyin Mountain and seeing the clear blue sky, everyone excitedly chirped away. Alas, the weather in Xi'an has been mildly hazy again. Therefore, when I saw the blue sky in the Qinling Mountains, the bright sunshine smiled. However, it has to be said from both ends. The smog weather in Xi'an is much better than last year. If there is no comparison, it can basically be justified. This is the result of the government's vigorous efforts to govern the country.

I habitually stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up in the direction of the top of Guanyin, and saw the temple on the top of the mountain. When I saw it, I was excited. The excitement came from thinking that the top of the mountain would be so high that in about two hours, I would be there and become a sight to be seen at the foot of the mountain. The second is that the mountain that holds up the building today is so beautiful and colorful!

In late autumn and October, autumn dyes the Qinling Mountains. From a distance, the mountains of the high sea are already covered with forests all over the mountains. Under the bright sun, the colorful leaves are shining. This is the most gorgeous season in the Qinling Mountains, and it is a huge picture scroll painted by God, and the beauty of the mountains is intoxicating.

What a lovely autumn color! Immediately we got out of the car and strode up the hill in high spirits. All the way up to the South Cliff Temple halfway up the mountainside. This temple was there in the Tang Dynasty. Excellent location, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing east on the front. The view is wide, and you can sit and watch the clouds rise in the courtyard. There are a total of seven temples on the route through Guanyin Mountain, and I am only interested in Nanya Temple. All this is due to a book that said that this temple is inhabited by highly learned masters. When I first came here, the temple gate was locked and no one was there. It deepened my curiosity.

There are two roads on the top of Guanyin Mountain. Going to the Guanyin Hall at the top of Daiding through Nanya Temple is a little more difficult than the other road. This time, I came here to climb the mountain, and I must visit the masters. Today, the door of the main hall is open, but there are still no practitioners. I inquired with the villagers who were building houses on the side, and they didn't 'go to collect medicine'. Rather, they said that they had been building a house for many days, and they had never seen any monks here, and the main hall door was guarded by them.

I was somewhat disappointed by this news. I left the mountain-climbing team twice, both of them were in a group, and they came from near and far, and the result was the same temple and no one was there. Looking at the newly installed beautiful stainless steel railing in the yard, I was even more curious about who lived here in such a fairyland.

Leave the South Cliff Temple and start the last upward dial of the day. Go up to the top of the hill, the highest place on the top of the opposite mountain, the row of buildings in the Guanyin Hall is in full view. The best view from this location, the hilltop building seen at the foot of the hill is now not far away. There are three main halls of the temple, which fall on the top of the mountain according to the height of the mountain from the top of the mountain. This is an independent mountain top, with thousands of cliffs on three sides. Therefore, the building is towering in the clouds, which is very beautiful and magnificent. I saw this scene twice in the same position, and I was shocked by what I saw! When I reached the top of the mountain, I was immersed in it, and when I watched it up close, I was impressed by the spirit and innovation of the Creator. Because, the three halls sit north to south, the west wall and the north wall are built against the edge of the cliff, the wall and the mountain are almost in a line, leaving only one brick. Only by the east gable, there is more than a meter above the cliff, and there is a path leading to the main hall behind. Whenever I walk on this path, I think about how difficult it is to build a building like this. The materials were all carried from the bottom of the mountain.......

My partner and I arrived at the gate of the main hall of Guanyin Mountain, and we didn't want to go in. But I thought that my companion was coming for the first time, and when I looked up from the gate, there was no one in the courtyard. I felt that it was not safe for my companion to go up alone. So, I had to go up too.

We walked through the courtyard and went up to the first hall, and saw that the door of the temple was locked, and we did not see Master Zhang, who was guarding the temple. It was so unexpected. In the past, no matter what time I came, she greeted everyone warmly in front of the palace. Of course, the enthusiasm for me is extraordinary. That's why I didn't want to come in when I got here. It was so enthusiastic that I didn't feel comfortable with it. But when I really didn't see her, I was a little disappointed in my heart, and I suddenly had a guess. I wonder if she went to BJ's daughter's house and was still sick.

I went to the back hall with my companions, but the hall was still locked. This is a rare scene in the main hall of Guanyin Mountain.

Coming out of the temple, I told the leader outside the gate about the situation in the temple. The team leader also said curiously: Will there be anything, there has never been such a situation in the past. Every time I come back, I will see her with her dog and greet everyone warmly.

We talked and walked forward together. After reaching the highest summit of today's mountain, it was all downhill from then on. Less than fifty meters from the courtyard of the main hall, we went downhill and were confronted by a lady hunched uphill. On closer inspection, we both recognized each other at the same time. I said, "Oh, Master Zhang, are you talking about you?" and she said, "Teacher, I haven't seen you here for a long time." ”

When I got closer, I saw that Zhang Nutu had changed a lot, which surprised me very much. With her short ear-length haircut, she looks a dozen years younger than she used to be. It used to look like an old man. And now it's a middle-aged woman. The skin on the face is tight and shiny. I blurted out: Why are you so young!

She listened to her eyes brighter and said: Running in the mountains all day, that's all.

Then he told me: I have been living in the crane farm below for the past two days, doing some autumn harvest, and picking wild chestnuts there for two days. Grab some and eat it.

That's when I saw that the backpack she was carrying was full. It looks heavy, and the harness pinchs the shoulders and waist deeply. I hurriedly said: It's too heavy, you can get on it quickly.

She reluctantly said: We haven't talked yet. After you go down to Qinggangling, there are a lot of chestnuts there. You also pick up some and take them back.

Say goodbye to Zhang Nutu. We quickly descended to Tsuruba. The temple door here is also locked. It's really strange. Isn't it possible that the CD is harvesting in the mountains? They are now locking the door and harvesting in the mountains, and after observing them on the spot, they feel that it is too normal. Because, I never thought that as Zhang Nutu said, there are too many chestnuts on the mountain, and there are so many people that they will slide on the road. Whenever this happens, I always hear the travelers say: Mom, there are too many chestnuts in this place, and people are tripped!

Starting from the North Quiet Pond and going down, there are chestnut pickers everywhere. On the way, I met another climbing team opposite the mountain, and their backpacks were unusually heavy. When they greeted each other, they said in unison: Oh, there are too many hairy chestnuts from the crane field forward, so go and pick them up.

After hearing this, everyone did not get up and act, but continued to happily pick up under the tree on the side of the road. Because it's all over the place. Besides, everyone thinks that their large troops, picked up all the way from the opposite side, how much can be left. As it turned out, there were so many of them that they were sown by man. I can't finish picking it up. Because the trees are still falling.

Originally, I didn't have much interest in picking chestnuts today. Because the wild chestnuts here are a little smaller than the chestnuts in Huangyu Temple. Besides, I haven't finished eating what I picked up last time. The second is that I can't carry it on my back, so it's better to save the effort to pick some wild kiwifruit. It's just that all the way down, I saw chestnuts and no kiwis.

But facing the feet, the roadside, and the trees were full of thick chestnuts, and I really felt that I was a little sorry not to pick up the fruits that I could not bring to my hand. So, I picked it up and ate it. I found that the chestnuts here are really delicious, sweet and fragrant. At first, my companion walked under the tree and happily picked it up, and then kept repeating: I really don't want to pick it up, but when this nest is in front of me, I feel sorry for the chestnuts if I don't pick them up.

So, we walked around and picked it up, and then we only picked up the relatively large ones, and then later, we were worried. After the fork in the road, it was all downhill, and at this time, Hou thick chestnuts made us slip and fall down the mountain. But when I walked here, everyone basically didn't bend down anymore, and they were all full of bags.

When my companion heard that my lunch box with chestnuts was not full, he said to me, "Let's help you fill the lunch box in a moment."

I said, "No, it's easy to fill it up." It's that I really don't want to pick it up. I haven't finished eating the last time I picked up, and after this chestnut is dried, it will be so hard that I can't bite it.

The two companions picked up a lot of chestnuts, and the weight made them both walk slowly. I laughed at their earning of today's tour fee, and they also laughed and said that they had come back early.

I walked at the back of the pack. Entering this section of the forest, the road is very good, all gentle slopes, and we happily descend the mountain. The two companions are happily looking forward to coming back next year for today's unexpected harvest. I said: It would be better if I could meet kiwi today.

It's a dream come true. It was very attractive to see that among the roadside trees, the top of the tall kiwi tree was full of fruits, all the size of walnuts. The bottom is all plucked, only on the top of the tree, if you don't pay attention, you can't find it. Seeing this, I applauded my perseverance and seriousness. I stopped, pretended to be calm and said: I am so lucky today, I have what I want!

The two companions said in unison: Where?

We put down our backpacks and started the kiwi picking battle. At the beginning of the division of labor, the first thing was to let the male companion hold the tree and shake it, and my partner Qingshu and I were waiting to pick it up. The male companion shook wildly and dropped one. Shake it again, it is to look at the peach and sigh. Before discussing tactics, I decided that the three of us would share the kiwi that had just fallen.

Qingshu quickly went down and gave me the kiwifruit he picked up. I looked soft at first glance. After dividing it into three portions, after eating it, we all exclaimed, "It's so sweet!"

It's so sweet! It's the most delicious kiwi I've ever tasted! and it's the first time I've ever eaten a wild kiwi that grows soft on a tree. It's so delicious, and we all get more motivated. Today's two partners are really one person, with the same interests, and they are completely physically and mentally committed to everything. At the beginning of the second battle, it was no longer the male traveler who worked hard. The male partner sat on the ground and grabbed the silk hard, Qingshu took off the beautiful princess straw hat he was wearing all the way, picked up a long stick, and tiptoed upwards vigorously. Both of them are staring at the fruit on the top of the tree, and the image does not look like climbing a mountain at all, but picking their own fruits, and the picture is extremely expressive. I was waiting to pick it up, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw such a selfless labor scene, and took out my camera to take a happy moment (when my friend Qingshu uploaded it to the circle of friends, he dropped the male donkey friend P, which made me laugh again.) Laugh at her cleverness, and carry everything clearly).

After fighting for a long time, only a few came down. While we were discussing the third option, I suddenly noticed a larger kiwi tree not far from the tree. Because it is far from the roadside, the fruit has not been picked. Moreover, the trees were full of ripe and fallen fruits.

The two companions quickly drilled down the slope and began our happy autumn harvest today. After a while, they happily called me: There are too many underneath, no need to pick them up. We've picked it up, so throw down two bags.

Haha, I took the opportunity to deliver the bag and gave up the task of looking at the backpack. I came to the kiwi tree and picked the fruit from the tree selflessly. The three of them picked it up with a smile, a bumper harvest scene!
