Last week, I went to the alpine meadow at an altitude of 2,500 meters and enjoyed the first snow in the Qinling Mountains this winter. This week, it rained for a few more days in the urban area of Xi'an, especially on Friday, and it rained heavily for a day, and the temperature was also very low. Under such weather conditions, it must have snowed heavily on the mountain. My joy friend and I decided to go to Fengyu Mountain on Saturday to see the snow, which is a shallow mountain, and the entrance to the mountain is on the side of the road outside the mountain, which is very safe. It can be said that it is a good place to climb the mountain all year round.

When I set off early in the morning, I could see the silver light of the snow-capped mountains on the Qinling Mountains. Although it was expected, I was very excited when I saw it, and I was so anxious that I just thought the car was slow. However, the car really can't drive fast, Xi'an has been known as the "ancient blockage", and there is no limit to the number of cars on weekends, as if they are all driven out to dry on the road.

Our cart wandered like an old oxen pulling a cart until nine o'clock before we reached the side of the mountain. I thought that I should see snow in front of the mountain, but when I arrived at Fengde Temple at the entrance of the mountain, I saw that there was no snow on this sunny slope mountain, and the top of the mountain on the other side of the valley was full of silver and white. We were both very happy about this scene, indicating that if we went a little further into the mountains, there would be snow. We decided to go up from the Jokai Temple in the mountain.

There is no snow on the road into the mountain for more than two kilometers, and there is no snow on the mountain to be climbed until the gate of the Pure Industry Temple. After entering the mountain gate, I met a monk who said, "It also snowed heavily yesterday, but it didn't settle, and the snow was thick on the main hall." "We looked up at the top of the mountain in the direction of the Pure Industry Temple, and sure enough, the forest was covered with snow. This means that under normal circumstances, we are in the snow after half an hour.

Originally, it took more than 20 minutes to climb more than 1,100 steps and go up to the Pure Industry Temple halfway up the mountainside, but today it took nearly twice as long. Because his companions have always been full of affection for the kittens and dogs in the mountains, every time he climbs the mountain, he brings a lot of ham sausages and gives them chocolates. In her own words, "My companions say that I am reluctant to eat every time, so I give them all to eat." "Today was the same, when I started to go up the stone steps, I met four yellow cats, and she fed them all the way and took pictures all the way. The cats followed all the way up to the small square outside the gate of the Pure Industry Temple halfway up the mountainside. The formation also looked spectacular, like four guards walking in the road, tiger and tiger.

As I entered the temple gate, I began to laugh and excitedly led my companion towards the toilet. I'm going to show her the newly converted restrooms in the monastery, which is so creative. The last time I came, I found that the women's bathroom had expanded into a large one, and she was squatting on three sides of the wall. As if there was some guidance, I walked curiously to the innermost row, and what I saw made me laugh, amazed and surprised. The first reaction is that the abbot is too talented, and this place is simply full of Zen, and he is blessed by the Buddha. At the same time, I also thank the abbot of the temple for his kindness.

This toilet is located in the corner of the temple, on the top of the hill halfway up the mountain, facing the front with a glass wall and an unobstructed view of the mountains across the valley. On the top of the mountain opposite, there is a natural sleeping Buddha. In order to view the sleeping Buddha of the Buddha, the temple also built a "Pinshan Pavilion" on the hillside. And this sleeping Buddha, on the Phoenix Mountain in Fengyu, there are only two places that can be the most effective feast for the eyes. One is inside the meditation hall above the main hall, which is not open to the public. Six years ago, Venerable Tianchang of this monastery took me up and said, "You see, there is a sleeping Buddha on the opposite mountain. I looked at the other side in confusion, and I was stunned when a sleeping Buddha was in sight. At that time, I had been climbing the mountain here for four years, and I had seen the scenery on the opposite mountain countless times on the mountain beam, and I had heard the tourists I met on the road say that there was a sleeping Buddha on the opposite mountain, and I also looked for it along the direction, but I didn't see anything. I didn't expect to see the Buddha everywhere I could see that day. But when I left the meditation hall, when I walked on the top of the hill beam on the meditation hall, I couldn't find the sleeping Buddha no matter how much I looked for it.

Another best place to see the Sleeping Buddha is the "Pinshan Pavilion" in the backyard, which is also closed to tourists. Now, you can see the Buddha in the bathroom. The toilet and the "Pinshan Pavilion" face each other, but only 30 meters, and it has become the best place to view the Buddha.

What's more, only this row of three urinals is open and without doors, as long as you look at the glass wall in front of you, the reclining Buddha is in front of you. What's even more wonderful is that only when squatting down is the best angle to view the Buddha, the artistic conception is transcendent. Standing or moving positions are much inferior. I came here two weeks ago, and when I saw it, I was stunned at first, and then I smiled happily.

At the same time, I also thought that there was a couplet at the main entrance of the bathroom (there are couplets at the location of the door of the temple), and the lower couplet (I didn't remember the upper couplet) was "great relief".

Today is destined to be a peaceful and beautiful time in the monastery.

We "blessed" in the toilet and then came to the front of the main hall. Since the main hall was renovated last year, visitors have not been allowed to enter the hall. At this time, I happened to see a man who moved the crosswood blocking the door of the main hall and entered the hall to worship the Buddha after the master agreed. Seeing this, we also followed up to pay homage. I haven't been in the temple for more than a year, but now I can approach the Buddha and look up at the Buddha who is smiling at me, and bow down with a smile full of drum music.

Ten years ago, I climbed the mountain for the first time and passed by the Pure Industry Temple, and when I entered the courtyard, my companion said, "Duo'er, the Buddha in the middle is smiling at you, but he didn't smile at me." I thought it was a little funny that he was a devout disciple of the Buddha, and this was to make me, who has no religious beliefs, understand his behavior. However, as it happens, from then on, I was overjoyed as soon as I entered the courtyard. Because, every time, I see the Buddha smiling at me.

At that time, I also knew that the demeanor of the Buddha statue was the principle of mirror appearance, and everyone saw the same. However, I'd rather believe that it's really just a smile at me. Therefore, every time I entered the temple in the past, I was rejoicing. For this reason, I also argued with Master Tianchang. He said, "You can't worship with a hippie smile in the temple, but you must be solemn and pious." I replied to him with a mocking expression: "The Buddha smiled at me, why should I be sad?" I don't pretend to be true piety. Furthermore, you always have to ask for the Buddha. Of course, I can't laugh when I ask God for help. And I, every time, thank God for His favor.

After hearing this, Master Tianchang looked at me and said, "I really don't know if you are naïve or naïve. "In the past, I used to laugh when I thought of these words, but today I can't. The past is like smoke. It has been six years since Venerable Tianchang left the Pure Industry Temple. At the beginning, in front of the main hall, he said that he would come back in five years, and it seemed that it was like smoke.

After worshipping the Buddha, you leave the temple and start your official ascent to the mountain.

Today it was cloudy but it wasn't cold, the mountains were warm, and the sky was blue when the sun occasionally appeared. It took us too long to get to the bottom of the mountain, and when we saw the silvery white forest at the bottom of the mountain, we saw snow on the slopes and no snow on the trees. I was a little disappointed and said, "We're late, and the snow is melting on the trees here."

When I looked up, I saw that there was snow on the trees in the forest not far away, and it was as beautiful as white flowers. So, we picked up the pace. After waiting for more than ten minutes, when I walked into the forest, I didn't see snow on the trees, but I heard a crisp and rapid crackling sound in the forest. My companion said, "Is it raining heavily?" and when I looked up, the sun was shining brightly, and it was not raining, and I understood that it was the sound of snow sliding on the branches and dead leaves of the trees. The voice was so beautiful, full of joy, as if the snow was mischievously teasing each other on the tree: "I can't stay, go down, go down."

It's a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We happily recorded the video, wanting to capture the most cheerful percussion in the forest. The companion said excitedly: You said it was too late. It's just right, such a scene is hard to come by.

We happily climbed the hillside and came to the top of the mountain. Without a break, keep moving forward. After taking two steps, I suddenly looked back and found that on the sunny side of the hill behind me, the snow was like a flower "shade" on the thick dead leaves, and on the shady side, the thick white snow covered the dead leaves. The path leading to the hillside at the pass stretches from the dead leaves to the top of the mountain, clearly separating the two sides of yin and yang, as beautiful as a gossip map, making me blurt out: It's so beautiful!

The companion hurriedly stopped and turned around and said, "It's so beautiful! Quick, I'll take a picture of you!"

I happily ran a few steps up the hillside, and just stood and posed for a photograph, when suddenly a loud clicking sound attracted me to look up, and I saw that ten paces behind my companions, on the big tree beside the mountain road, a branch stretched diagonally along the road, thicker than an adult's arm, and the sound of it breaking when it broke away from the trunk and broke into two knots in the air, and the roar of smashing on the mountain, was very frightening in the mountain forest. I happened to be witnessing the whole process head-on, and the sound of my screams startled my companion with my back.

After the photo, we walked to the broken log, the thick broken wood was full of water, and each section was extremely heavy. Where they landed on the road, exactly where we had to go. If it weren't for the sudden look back, you would be moved by the scenery behind you and stop to take pictures. Then, at the point in time, we just walked here, couldn't dodge, and were 100% hit in the head.

We are very fortunate for this......

As you climb up to the top of the mountain, the snow gets thicker and thicker, and the temperature decreases as the altitude increases, and the snowflakes show off on the trees. At this time, the mountains and forests are white. The low evergreen leaves of the four seasons in the forest are like "white sugar" on the top, with very different shapes, like a hundred flowers blooming. The branches of the big trees, which were originally bare and bare, have also become snow strips and snow sticks, as beautiful as the snow-white antlers of the trees.

It can be seen from this that today we have to climb five kilometers away along the mountain beam, to the land beam in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, which is higher and farther, and the way will definitely be more beautiful. Sure enough, when we climbed to the top of the mountain behind the Reclining Buddha Temple at a higher altitude, in the tall ancient pine forest, we saw the verdant pine needles wrapped in a white coat, and the pine needles became white silver needles, like blooming chrysanthemum petals, full of snow chrysanthemums, the flowers were tightly clustered, and the crystal flashed, and the pine forest bloomed into a snow chrysanthemum forest, which was beautiful.

In the past, whenever I saw every pine needle in the pine forest densely covered with snow particles, I was amazed by the wonder of nature. At first, I didn't understand how the snowflakes that fell from the sky were attached to the pine needles under the canopy. Later, after careful observation, it was found that the pine needles were not snowflakes, but crystalline snow-like particles, that is, crystals of mist, and the scientific name is foggy. They are dense fogs that condense with moisture at a certain low temperature to form snow particles. At this time, the mist that filled the air magically draped all the vegetation in a snow-white gauze skirt, which was extremely beautiful and a rare spectacle. If you happen to encounter heavy snowfall, it is a jade tree blooming on the snow-capped mountain, and the beauty has become a fairy tale kingdom.

Today, we are fortunate to have it.

Now on the top of the current Reclining Pho Temple, there are snow-capped mountains blooming Qionghua. It can be different from a single foggy tree hanging. Because of the heavy snow in recent days, it has overwhelmingly pressed on the top of the pine trees. At this time, on the crown of the dense pine needles, the Qionghua Snow Chrysanthemum of a tree was bent by the thick snow quilt, and the pine branches below were covered with fog and naturally drooped, so that the whitebark pine was originally tall and towering, and now the branches are obliquely and horizontally staggered, and they have built a beautiful flower roof.

On the snow-capped mountains under the pine forest, all the dead grass and branches are covered with thick fog, and there are hairy branches and leaves everywhere, like corals under the sea, which is wonderful and lifelike, and beautiful. The plants that dwell in the wind are even more peculiar, they are facing the wind, and they can't hang from the fog from the head to the roots, just a thin layer of ice, as if frozen. On the other side, the white fog was hung finger-width apart. The thinner saplings were bent and their heads and tails were in the snowy mountains, and the furry side was upward, forming a graceful arc of snow. Some of the strong young trees, all half covered with snow burrs, brushed in one direction on the snowy mountains, revealing unyielding fortitude, which is praised. It also makes the "coral" world above the snow-capped mountains more diverse. It's as if this is the white and holy world where coral is supposed to exist.

At this moment, we are in the snow-white and holy fairy tale kingdom, accompanied by strange flowers and plants, and the snow walks under the snow chrysanthemum canopy that trembles when it touches the flowers and branches, and the birds in the forest sing happily. This scene is really intoxicating and turns us into children in a fairy tale world. In addition to being full of praise, I can't help it from time to time, hitting or shaking the pine branches above my head with trekking poles, so that the snow will pour down like a dance from the top of my head, and the whole body will be diffusely enveloped.

Then pick up the snow and throw it up, and it is the happiest to be full of "fog" again and again, and then roll in the snow and laugh breathlessly is the most beautiful. The birds chirped in the woods, as if they were laughing at us, and said: "Stupid, if you can't fly, you will roll!"

I crawled on the snow, saw a few brightly feathered pheasants in the snow not far away, quickly grabbed a handful of snow, and flew over with a "whoosh", and the birds fluttered low in the forest. Oh, the colorful feathered birds are so beautiful when they fly!

After partying in the forest, I came to my favorite land beam, which is also today's destination.

The land beam is already in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. This ridge is in a peculiar location, surrounded by mountains. The ridge called the Earth Beam, as if it had no diameter to the end, lived alone in it, and was held by the mountains like a heavenly road. Now, the "Heavenly Road" on the girder of the snow-capped mountain is white, floating to the sea of clouds in the distant mountains like a holy Hada, and my heart is surging when I look at it.

The beams are full of low plants, and the view is infinitely wide. Looking around the Qinling Mountains and snow-capped mountains, the snow-capped mountains make the mountains more beautiful and charming. The forest is wrapped in snow and fog, no matter how close you look at it from afar, it is all a kind of fine broken leaves, layered on top of each other, just like the snow lotus blooming on the snow-capped mountain, its environment is wonderful, it makes people feel excited, like being in a fairyland.

The two of us couldn't hold it back, and at the highest point on the mountain beam, we couldn't help but jump up, jumping and laughing over and over again. With the superb shooting skills of my companions, I was like a big bird of freedom, flying among the snow lotuses on the snowy mountains......
