After the rain, the mountain was as clean as a wash, the blue sky was as clean as a transparent crystal, and a gorgeous rainbow was set up, which seemed to open the door to Liang Shirong and them.

Colorful wildflowers bloom along the roadside, dotted among the green grass, attracting butterflies and bees. All kinds of green vines are entwined with century-old trees, which makes them even more leafy. Hundreds of birds chase and frolic in the forest, and swallows dance and warblers sing. The majestic boulders stand in the midst of the cascading mountains.

Flowing clouds out of Xiu, flowing among the green mountains, the stone mountains are like a fairyland on earth.

At the northern foot of Stone Mountain, there is a winding mountain road that leads to the top of the mountain. This ancient post road is an important passage connecting the mountainous area of ancient Xinzhou and the seashores of Enping, Kaiping and Yangjiang.

For thousands of years, the silence in the mountains has been broken by the melodious sound of "jingling" bells from time to time. "The mountain bell rings the horse gang", the horse gang from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, carrying the exchanged materials on the ancient post road to walk back and forth, to this ancient post road brought a unique style.

There is a meadow of several acres on the top of the mountain, which is the famous local "Jiema Pass". The Horse Pass is the joint of the dart bureau and the horse gang to exchange goods, and it is also the place where the senior officials welcome Beijing.

Not far from Jiema'ao, there is a large alpine meadow, which is a paradise for soldiers to gather bandits. Paradise Ping, also known as Paradise Market Ping, is a prosperous trade distribution center and a place to sell martial arts and perform big shows.

There are many stories about soldiers, officials, merchants, robbers, and bandits.

Every time there is a customary polder day, people on both sides of the west side of the stone SD will come up the mountain separately, and the Paradise Ruins will be crowded with people, and it will be very lively. The mountain people on the side of Lidong and Luodong came here with mountain goods such as fungus, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and hunted beasts; Traders from Enping, Kaiping, and Yangjiang brought seafood such as fish, octopus, and salted fish, as well as bean curd and other items here. People in both places were haggling with each other, exchanging goods from each other, and then returning to their homes with the goods they had exchanged. The ruins are like this, year after year, year after year.

Seeing that there were caravans walking by from time to time on the ancient post road, in order to avoid people's eyes, Liang Shirong proposed to Liang Er not to take the ancient post road where people come and go, but to take the remote mountain path.

Liang Er is a native of the stone mountain, very familiar with the surrounding environment, and pointed Liang Jianxing to the convenient mountain path up.

Liang Jianxing carried him on his back and climbed the mountain very hard. But Liang Jianxing gritted his teeth and walked up the mountain step by step. He knew that with every step forward, he was one step closer to his destination.

There was an ancient camphor tree in front, with thick and crooked branches, wrinkled bark, and a bald branch with a forked crown like a flying horse, with many parasitic trees growing on it.

Liang Jianxing carried Liang Er, a big man, past the thousand-year-old tree, and finally climbed a steep slope scattered with rocks, and the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up: a flat lake, sparkling clear water, reflecting the blue sky. Small silver-scaled fish swim freely in the water. The lake is surrounded by a variety of aquatic plants and a variety of unknown wildflowers.

Not far from the left side of the lakeside, there is a cliff that is naturally piled up by several huge stones, more than three zhang high, there is a waterfall flowing down, flying beads splashing jade, accompanied by the sound of "bang, bang", below is the spring tumbling. The boulder in the spring is covered with dark green moss, and plants such as plantains, alders, taro, and pothos grow on the edge of the spring.

Next to the water spring, there is also a huge stone about two feet square.

"Great view!" Liang Shirong and Liang Jianxing shouted in unison.

Liang Er patted Liang Jianxing's shoulder, then pointed to the flowing spring on the left, and said, "Yaxing, put me down." ”

Liang Jianxing: "Second brother, is there something wrong?" ”

Liang Er: "Let's all drink the spring water of this fountain of youth." ”

Liang Shirong put Liang Er down, took a breath, pointed to the spring water under the impact of Bai Lian, and asked, "You just said that this mountain spring is called the Fountain of Immortality?" ”

"Yes," Liang Er introduced, "we mountain people have a customary habit of going to the Fountain of Youth, and whenever we enter and exit the mountain and pass through here, we like to go to the Fountain of Youthlessness to drink a few sips of spring water." ”

Liang Shirong pondered: "Fountain of Immortality? Listening to this name, looking at this spring water, does this spring water have the effect of immortality? ”

Liang Er said seriously: "Immortality is fake, but drinking it to prolong people's lives is indeed true." Not to mention, there are many centenarians in our Mawangzhai. Cai Ying's wife, who is now the longest-lived, is 113 years old this year, and she is still deaf and clear-sighted, and can still feed chickens, wash vegetables, and cook rice at home. ”

Liang Shirong: "I used to hear people say that there is a village where people live a long life. ”

"The mountains and rivers are good, and the people are naturally good." When Liang Er spoke, he pointed to the boulder by the spring and said, "You see that this boulder weighs at least 100,000 catties, and its shape doesn't look like a turtle?" ”

Liang Jianxing looked at the big stone and said, "After you reminded me like this, this big stone really looks like a big turtle lying by the spring drinking water. Turtles are long-lived creatures! ”

Liang Shirong said with a smile: "Ah, the person who gave this spring the name of this fountain of immortality must be a great talent who has read poetry and books. ”

Liang Er: "We have no way of verifying whether the name of this fountain of immortality was given by Da Xiu, but it must have been given by a person of great wisdom." ”

"You are right," Liang Jianxing turned around and said to Liang Shirong, "Master, you can live a long life if you drink this spring water, you drink it first." ”

Liang Er praised: "Yaxing, you are really a good apprentice, good things always let your master come first." ”

Liang Jianxing carried Liang Er to climb the mountain and walk with difficulty, very tired, sweating a lot, very thirsty at this time, came to the spring, put down Liang Er, bent down with both hands to drink the spring water, a cool and sweet taste penetrated the heart. Liang Er drank it, suddenly felt refreshed, stretched his tongue out of his mouth, licked it back and forth, and shouted: "This spring water is cold and sweet!" ”

After Liang Er finished speaking, he hurriedly filled a jug of spring water with a marching pot and handed it to Liang Er and said, "Second brother, you can also come and drink a few sips." ”

After Liang Er drank the Fountain of Youth, a smile of approval appeared on his face.

The hound Ah Wang followed Liang Er up and down the mountain on weekdays, and would come to this fountain of immortality to drink. At this time, he seemed to understand what people were saying, and after everyone had drunk water, he threw himself into the spring and drank it violently.

After drinking the water, they sat down under the boulder by the spring to rest.

The mountain breeze was blowing in the face, and everyone felt that the fatigue had been reduced a lot.

Not far from the Fountain of Youth, a wooden plank bridge flies over the lake.

Liang Shirong stood up and looked at it: this bridge is about five zhang long, the middle piers are natural boulders, and the bridge deck is composed of three long thick wooden planks.

Liang Er pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "After crossing this Huluo Bridge, there is a mountain path that leads to our Mawangzhai. ”

"Golo Bridge?" Liang Shirong's heart was touched, "The name of this bridge is a bit strange, why is it called Huluo Bridge?" ”

Liang Er explained: "As the name suggests, because this bridge is to protect Luodong and the people passing through Luodong, and also to protect the safety and security of the people around Luodong Village. ”

Liang Shi was puzzled: "You have to be more detailed. ”

Liang Eryang pointed to the bridge: "Don't look at the bridge deck is not wide, it is seven or eight feet high from the water, and there are big stones raised on it, but it will not be dangerous to walk across this bridge." ”

Liang Shirong didn't believe it: "No." The bridge deck is so narrow, what if people accidentally fall off the bridge deck while walking? ”

Liang Er's tone was full of seriousness: "Over the years, someone has accidentally fallen down across the bridge with a big buffalo, but they are all unscathed. ”

Liang Shirong and Liang Jianxing exclaimed: "There is such a miraculous thing. ”

"We don't know why, but it's true! That's why we call this bridge the Golo Bridge. There are many miles of magical east on the stone mountain. Liang Er looked up at the mountain, "Okay, the sun is gradually rising, let's hurry." ”

"Okay." Liang Jianxing carried Liang Er on his back again, and everyone easily crossed the Huluo Bridge and walked up the winding mountain road.

The ancient trees in the mountains are towering, and the vines hang down from the tall trees, covering the sky and the sun. White plum blossoms dot the green mountains in the distance, and wildflowers are in full bloom. The waterfall is noisy, and there are countless stones of different sizes in the stream beside the path, and there are many smooth mortars on the rocks that are well abrased and distributed in groups. A babbling stream flowed happily from the side.

As they walked, walked, Liang Shirong seemed to have discovered something: "Yaxing, why is the finch on the stone mountain green?" ”

Liang Jianxing followed Liang Shirong's point, looked up, and saw old vines climbing on the tall trees, and strings of green flowers hanging on the vines, these flowers are very similar to the finch, the brown fluff on both sides of the calyx is like the two small eyes on the head of the finch, the pointed beak, and the open petals are like the wings of the finch. The mountain wind blows, the flowers sway and sway, and the wind is graceful, much like a finch flapping its wings and flying high.

Liang Jianxing hadn't replied yet, and Liang Er had already rushed to speak: "The tree is not a sparrow, but a sparrow." ”

"Sparrows?" Liang Shirong muttered, "How can the finch bloom?" ”

Liang Er laughed after hearing this: "Brother Yarong, what is on this tree is not a flying sparrow, but a flower that resembles a sparrow.

Liang Jianxing laughed: "Master, this is indeed a flower hanging on a big tree." You're getting older and can't see things in the distance very clearly. ”

Liang Shirong laughed: "In this way, I am indeed old and dizzy, and now I can't think of it anymore." ”

Liang Er: "It's no wonder you. When many people first arrived at Stone Mountain, they saw the bunches of grass finches hanging on the trees, and they mistakenly thought they were grass birds. ”

Along the way, they saw a lot of grass finch trees, and the bunches of grass finch flowers, compared with the living grass sparrows, are vivid and lifelike.
