Chapter 353: Eighteen Plates
First of all, with the crowd stepping on this legendary 'eighteen plates', Mount Tai has three eighteen plates. From the opening of the mountain to the Longmen for the "slow eighteen", and then to the Shengxian Fang for the "unhurried and slow and eighteen", and then to the South Tianmen for the "tight eighteen", a total of more than 1,630 steps. "Tight eighteen" west cliff has a huge rock hanging in the air, the silhouette is like a Buddha's head side pillow, high nose bald, kind smile, name welcomes the Buddha. Eighteen rock formations are steep, with an inclination of 70 to 80 degrees. Mount Tai eighteen plates is the most dangerous section of Mount Tai mountaineering road, there are more than 1,600 stone steps, one of the main symbols of Mount Tai. The cliffs of the two mountains here are like cutting, and the steep winding road is embedded in them, looking at it from afar, it is just like the ladder of Tianmen.
Walking up this steep staircase, I have been walking in the front along the way, I don't know why with this bright sunshine, today I want to sweat profusely, so I climbed quite hard. With the height of the line of sight, the field of vision gradually broadened, looking at the dense crowd at the foot of the mountain and the tourists on the steps of the hard work, the sun hit this face, as if the ultraviolet rays at this time were also a lot stronger, so that my forehead unconsciously oozed a lot of sweat.
Look at Mu Xiu and An Xiangfei, who were right at my feet, and saw that I stopped and immediately stopped, and smiled at me: "Liangxi, do you still want to go up?" That's not even a tenth. ”
I stuck out my tongue at An Xiangfei and said, "If you don't go to Mount Tai, you're not a hero." Then I walked up the hill to myself, presumably on the way up the mountain, and I thought that I might still have the only remaining wild tendency, or because my female man was very strong, and I hated such a monotonous walk, although the scenery and posture beside the two were more and more beautiful, but I hated these abrasive steps under my feet, because at this moment my two thighs were about to cramp and tremble. But I haven't even finished the first of the legendary eighteen plates, that is, I haven't reached the Dragon Gate yet. But when I looked up, I also vaguely saw the shadow of the dragon gate, which somewhat added a lot of strength to me to continue walking.
"You're going too fast, aren't you?" There was the sound of He Yufeng's exhaustion behind me, and I looked back and saw that in addition to An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu, who were only twenty or thirty steps away from me, the remaining few people were fifty or sixty steps away, and then looked at Anton while walking, turning his head and looking into the distance, he didn't speak but was silent, as if he was looking at and contemplating, and it seemed that he felt the aura of heaven and earth in his heart. And He Zhirong's father and son were sweating profusely, and they had already put their coats on their shoulders, as if even this mountain full of wonders could not save their painful hearts.
"Hurry up, we're going to the Dragon Gate, come on." I shouted at the top of my throat. Compared to them, I suddenly felt a sense of pride and pride at this time.
Soon, under the coercion of the flow of people, or under the intoxication and confusion of this magical beauty, the Dragon Gate seemed to be close at hand. Looking up at a tall archway, the gray-white stone looks rustic and has been like the feeling of suffering from the vicissitudes of life, although it stands quietly on this halfway mountainside, but all the year round in this fairy land surrounded by clouds and mountains, let me absolutely carve the two stone dragons on it as if they will fly up at any time.
Taking a deep breath, as if a rocket had quietly gathered enough strength at the launch site, I rushed up the last few steps and crossed the gantry, which was a platform. Many tourists like to rest here, I took a few deep breaths, put my hands on my knees, walked to the bottom of the dragon gate, looked at the top of the mountain that had surrendered to the foot at this time, and suddenly had a little bit of a feeling of seeing the small mountains. But when I turned my head and looked up, this feeling suddenly disappeared, because the top of the cloud mountain was still in the white clouds, and I was also surrendering at the feet of others at this time.
"It's finally coming up, I'm exhausted." An Xiangfei panted as soon as he came up, looked at me and didn't speak, as if he was looking at a monster again, and I was not very comfortable, while Mu Xiu smiled slightly, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, sat in a cool place, and was so intoxicated that I didn't seem to feel what kind of experience he was.
"Contempt ......" I squeezed a word out of my teeth, and regardless of An Xiangfei's dilated pupils, I said very refreshedly to He Zhirong who was about to come to them: "Uncle He, what do you think of the scenery here?" ”
"Beautiful, it's just that your Uncle He is old. It's not like you, who come up like monkeys. He Zhirong gasped and said. So much so that I was afraid that this half-old man would die directly on this Mount Tai because he couldn't get on it in one breath.
After resting for a while, I saw that everyone was almost rested. I looked at the sign next to me, which read: "Unhurried, Eighteen", and a big red upward arrow pointed to the word Xianfang.
After resting for a while, I felt that the energy at this time was full, and when I raised my leg and stepped on the first step, my thighs couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a feeling of soreness was really sour and home. Fortunately, after walking a dozen steps, this feeling slowly disappeared. Maybe I'm in the groove. Presumably the section of stairs to Longmen before, this section of stairs seems to be a lot steeper, and the more you go up, the stronger the wind in your ears, of course, this kind of just right breeze is simply good for climbing the mountain.
I climbed for about half an hour, looked back at my obedient, suddenly the fear of heights are a little guilty, I feel that as long as one is not careful, it is very likely to roll straight down, the visual impact is not at all the soft feeling before, but it makes me have a thrilling feeling but it is also quite exciting, don't dare to look more, turn my head and walk up, for fear of a turn back, a breeze will down. At this time, there must have been a lot fewer tourists on the steps before, because many people took the cable car up after climbing the first stage, and for me, the happiest and most enjoyable process of climbing the mountain may be the feeling of accomplishment that has reached the top of the mountain after the painful climb is the real joy of climbing, of course, whether he is a famous mountain or a nameless mountain.
"See, I really admire the dead ancients, how did this be built." An Xiangfei looked up at the fairy boat not far ahead, and couldn't help but sigh. Mu Xiu turned his head and smiled and continued to walk up, and I was so tired that I didn't even want to say anything at this time, but I silently agreed with An Xiangfei's words in my heart.
