605 Denghua Mountain
After a light rain, the temperature of the entire Huashan Mountain dropped by several degrees.
Lin Quan and Taylor, who had just come from Hukou Waterfall, were wearing thick coats at this time and were walking cautiously forward on the plank road of Huashan.
If you don't get to the Great Wall, you're not a hero!
In front of Huashan Plank Road, Lin Quan felt that it was too bad!
A road from ancient Huashan!
If you want to go up the mountain, you must go up the mountain from the plank road of Huashan!
This plank road is located in the mountainside outside the south gate of the south peak of the extreme peak of Huashan Mountain, through the swallow table, Chaoyuan Cave, step on the cliff gap and volley ladder down more than 10 meters, along the cliff and take the square wooden plank road that is not wide enough to reach the foot to the bottom of the Quanzhen Rock, the total length of the road is about 100 meters.
These are still strengthened after the liberation of the Huayin County Government after many renovations!
In ancient times, these plank roads were only a few bare wooden piles, which were built by He Zhizhen, the first generation of Huashan grandmaster, in order to stay away from the world and meditate to become immortals, and inlaid stone nails on the cliff to build wooden rafters.
It's hard to imagine how these things were nailed into the cliff, but now these iron plank roads with handrails make Lin Quan frightened, standing on the plank road, his hands and feet are a little trembling, it's not that he is timid, it's really that his fear of heights is too serious.
If it weren't for the fact that this insurance on his body brought him some sense of security, Lin Quan would not have gone up to death!
This Nima is so scary!
Seeing the cliff at your foot halfway up the mountain, the feeling is indescribable!
In the Tang Dynasty, climbing Mount Hua has become an adventure that the children of Guanzhong like to do, and they leave the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River and can soon reach the foot of Mount Huashan, but there is no plank road in Mount Hua at that time.
Lin Quan took a look, the mountain wall under his feet had a little shallow opening, which could probably accommodate a person standing against the wall with difficulty, but if you want to move on such a narrow and steep cliff, the difficulty is too high.
The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was still martial, so whether it was a literati or a ranger in Guanzhong, they all knew a little martial arts, so they had the confidence to climb such a cliff!
The atmosphere of the whole society in the Song Dynasty is biased, the popularity of Huashan is not high, this side is not so popular, although Jin Yong's book has Huashan on the sword, but he obviously does not know much about Huashan, the description inside is too detached from reality, Huashan is difficult to go up the mountain, it is difficult to go down the mountain, so many people turn a fart of the sword, guarding on the road of Huashan, that is, a husband should be a pass, whoever comes first is the first in Huashan, unless the people behind are flying eaves and walking on the wall, otherwise don't think about the past!
In the Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Han people were driven around, and He Zhizhen ran to the mountains to build such a plank road!
Lin Quan thought in his heart, if He Zhizhen hadn't built this plank road, would the Huashan faction in the Xiaoao Jianghu still exist?
"Wow, this is incredible, crazy!"
Taylor seemed to be full of feminine strength, not afraid of height at all, wearing a seat belt on his body at this time, and dared to lean out to look at the ground.
Lin Quan was terrified when he saw it, and he couldn't wait to reach out and pull her!
Human beings have an instinctive fear of dangerous things, and fear of heights is such a case.
Because falling from a height will kill you, the subconscious will remind you: Hey, take it easy, you will die if you fall.
And this hint will be remembered by the brain and will leave a deep impression.
"Be careful, it's still early to go up the mountain, don't run out of strength!"
Lin Quan couldn't say that he was afraid of heights as a big man, and it seemed that he was not even as good as a woman, so he found another reason.
"yes, I see!"
Taylor finally relented a little, and the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain after passing through this dangerous area little by little.
Huashan is still a bit high, the temperature above is relatively low, and when the wind blows, it is even colder.
People have the habit of climbing Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, but they don't know if anyone goes to Mount Huashan to watch the sunrise, it should not be?
After all, if you come to climb the mountain early in the morning if you can't see clearly, it is in danger of dying.
There's nothing interesting on Mount Hua, but standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the mountains below and a large white cloud floating halfway up the mountain.
If you look at it from above, it's a beautiful view.
It's just that it's too cold on the top of the mountain, after all, it's only April, and the temperature here in Shaanxi is not high, and the temperature on the mountain at an altitude of 2000 meters is directly below zero.
If it weren't for the sun, they would have shrunk from the cold.
"Huhu, it's too cold, let's go down the mountain to see the terracotta warriors!"
After visiting several scenic spots such as Yuquan Courtyard and Zhenyue Palace, the two of them were so frozen that they only vomited white air, although they had prepared a thicker coat when they went up the mountain before, but this coat was at most a spring coat, under the blowing of the low temperature and wind on the mountain, the body temperature of the two of them dropped rapidly, and their lips were blackened by the cold, and if they didn't go down the mountain, they were afraid that they would freeze to death on the mountain.
"Well, okay, let's go down the mountain!"
When going down the mountain, the speed is obviously much faster.
In more than an hour, the two of them had already come down, and after eating something in Huayin County, they drove to Xi'an.
Xi'an was the capital of many ancient Chinese dynasties, and many regimes during the Western Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were all capitalized here.
In ancient times, since the old Qin people repaired Guanzhong, in the Qin State poured all the country's strength to dredge and repair the Zhengguo Canal, and the entire Guanzhong became a fertile soil and fertile land.
And because there are mountains all around, Hangu Pass, Sanguan, Wuguan, and Xiao Pass respectively lock the four key mountain passes in and out, making the defense work in the pass very simple, as long as these four passes are held, it is difficult for people from outside to enter.
And the land in Guanzhong is fertile, and the old Qin people are soldiers who are good at fighting and can fight, so even if the world is in chaos, as long as Guanzhong is not chaotic, the dynasty in Dingdu here has the ability to pacify the world.
During the Western Han Dynasty, many vassal states in the eastern part of the country rebelled, and they did not succeed in the end, the main reason is that because the central court held the territory of Guanzhong, there was the capital to spend with you, unless the rebels immediately invaded Guanzhong and captured Chang'an, otherwise they would be defeated in the confrontation with the central government sooner or later.
Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, and it was only after occupying Guanzhong that he finally quelled the rebellion in Hedong, and Zhuge Liang's Longzhong also emphasized that he wanted to take Guanzhong, which shows that before the Song Dynasty, the status of Guanzhong was very high.
The reason why the status of Guanzhong declined in the Song Dynasty was mainly because the military force was too weak in the Song Dynasty, especially the lack of cavalry, and at that time, Guanzhong had been overdeveloped in the Tang Dynasty, and the land was seriously desertified, and it could no longer carry too much population, and Guanzhong could not feed too much population, so it naturally lost its previous value.
