Coming down from Qingcheng Mountain, I followed Mu Xiu and An Xiang to fly towards Dragon Python Mountain, first of all, after we went down the mountain, followed all the people for a distance, and then walked up on a fork in the road, and on the side of the fork there was a sign that said that the mountain is high and the forest is forbidden to enter.

After walking along the mountain road for less than half an hour, we were already soaking wet, and the water vapor in the forest was very strong, and as we walked inside, the fog became thicker, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

After turning over the two mountains in succession, the galloping Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain were no longer visible behind him, and at this time, Mu Xiu took out a yellowed map from his arms and laid it on a stone, and after watching it carefully for a long time, he nodded slightly to a cliff in front of him, and then put the map into his arms again.

At this time, the road under the feet is already a high foot and a low foot, and there is a path at all, just rely on the three of us to walk out of a road in this and the primeval jungle, sometimes we walk and walk under the foot is the cliff, and the upward is also a vertical cliff, so it was not until this moment that I really felt what is called Shu Road difficult, difficult to go to the sky. And the most representative is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's poem "Shu Road Difficulty" Yuefu old title, which vividly describes the danger and difficulty of Shu Road.

Shu road is difficult

(Tang) Li Bai

Whoa, the danger is high! The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky!

Silkworms and fish, how dazed is the founding of the country!

He is 48,000 years old, and he is not populated with Qinsai.

There is a bird road in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei.

The earth collapsed and the mountain destroyed the strong man to death, and then the ladder stone stacks were hooked together.

There is a high standard of six dragons returning to the sun, and there is a return to the river with a wave and a reversal.

The flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb.

The green mud is a panpan, and a hundred steps and nine folds linger on the rocks.

He sat on his back and sighed with his hands.

Q: When will you return to the West? The road is daunting and the rock is unclimbable.

But when I saw the ancient trees of the Sad Bird, the male and the female flew around the forest.

I also heard Zigui crying the night moon, and I was sad about the empty mountain.

The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, so that people listen to this withered face!

Even the peaks go to the sky and do not exceed the feet, and the dead pines hang upside down against the cliffs.

The flying turbulent waterfall is noisy, and the cliff turns to the stone and thunder.

The same is true of the danger, and the people who have come from afar are not here!

The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open.

Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackals.

Avoid tigers in the morning and long snakes in the evening; Grinding teeth and sucking blood, killing people like numbness.

Although Jincheng is cloudy, it is better to return home early.

The difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, and look sideways to the west!

This poem was written about the first time Li Bai came to Chang'an in the early years of Tianbao. "The Difficulty of Shu Road" is his use of the ancient theme of Yuefu, expanding his rich imagination, focusing on depicting the beautiful and thrilling mountains and rivers on the Qinshu Road, and revealing the society

of certain apprehensions and concerns.

Li Bai grasped the characteristics of various landscapes to describe them to show the difficulties of Shu Road.

It is said that the difficulty of Shu Road is more difficult than that of the heavens, this is because since ancient times, Qin and Shu have been blocked by high mountains and mountains, from Qin to Shu, Taibai Peak bears the brunt, and only high-flying birds can fly through the low shortage. Taibai Peak is in the southwest of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and is the highest peak in the Guanzhong area. The folk proverb: "Wu Gong is too white, go to the sky for three hundred." Although exaggerated, it writes about the insurmountable dangers in history, and integrates the myth of the opening of the Wuding Mountain, which is dyed with magical colors, like a prelude to a movement, and has a fascinating and wonderful use.

From "there are six dragons to return to the high standard of the sun" to "make people listen to this withered face" to write the high danger of the mountain, the more fully the mountain is written, the more difficult the road can see. Look at the high mountain that stands abruptly, reaching the sky with high standards, blocking the movement of the sun god; At the foot of the mountain are rivers that twist and turn. Although exaggeration and mythology are integrated, the mountain is high, and it is lined with the danger of "returning to Sichuan". Only its water risk, but also the high risk of the mountain. The meaning is still not enough, and the yellow crane and the ape are used to contrast the mountain so high that even the yellow crane that soars for thousands of miles can not fly, and the light and agile ape is also worried about climbing, it goes without saying that it is more difficult for people to walk.

"Eh, Mom, let's take a break." An Xiangfei gasped and held on to a small tree and said, because at this time there was a cliff under our feet, and the sound of turbulent water was faintly heard from the ground through the dense forest.

"Rest for a while, I can't walk anymore." I was also exhausted at this time under such a high-intensity exercise, so I looked ahead; Makushu, who never feels tired, shouted.

Mu Xiu turned around, glanced at An Xiangfei and me, and said, "Take a break, find a place to do it, but be careful of your step." As he spoke, he pointed to the cliff beneath his feet.

Sitting on the spot and drinking the water handed by An Xiangfei, I wiped the sweat from my forehead, looked at the surrounding mountains, the wheels were covered with a layer of light mist, and then looked at Mu Xiu and couldn't help asking:

"How long do we have to walk before we get to Dragon Python Mountain?"

Mu Xiu let out a sigh of relief and said, "According to the instructions on the map, after turning over the mountain in front, it should be the boundary of Dragon Python Mountain." ”

"Oh," I replied, looking up at the mountain in front of me, and saw that it was a stone mountain, almost perpendicular to the ground, and I cried out in my heart, it seemed that the road behind me was much more difficult and dangerous than this.

Suddenly, I looked at the confrontation between the green mountains and the green trees. Look up at the strange peaks to cover the sky, the clear stream is murmuring under your feet, and the strange stones are lying on the waves. The beauty of the mountains in the rain is completely in the absence of anything. If it had, it had turned into a steaming mist with the floating light veil-like clouds; If it doesn't, it shows its face between the opening and closing of the clouds, and it feels more intimate.

Mountains, stretching and endless; Mountain, steep and upright; Mountain, towering and upright...... The mountains, imposing, reminiscent of the five mountains; Mountain, novel and beautiful, reminiscent of Emei...... The mountain, like a sage admired by all people, is his nature, quietly interpreting the vastness, solemnity and solemnity of life......

And in this long deep mountain, but let me forget all the hardships, rest for a long time, An Xiang Feimu Xiu and I began to follow this nowhere to stop Shu Road towards our goal, it is really hard to imagine if Zhuge Liang is really buried in this deep mountain, then how those Shu soldiers entered the mountain back then.

It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon on the mountain below, and when we arrived in the valley, a river was in front of us, and we couldn't stand the heat, so we quickly plunged into the clear river like a life-saving straw, which was cool and comfortable. Raise your head and look at the mountain that is about to climb in front of you, majestic and steep. I couldn't help but take a deep breath, you must know that I am a girl, although occasionally a female man, but in the face of this steep mountain, I can't help but feel frightened.
