Chapter 595: Yao Chi in the World
The most famous of the Huanglong Scenic Area is the colorful pool.
But even if you have arrived at the scenic spot, it is not easy to see the colorful pool with your own eyes, even if you take the cable car to climb to the top of the mountain, you need to walk a long way, bypass the Huanglong Temple, in order to see the gorgeous beauty of the Yao Pond in the world.
There are many legends of the Yellow Dragon, most of which are related to ancient mythology, and even the name of the Yellow Dragon are related to the legend of Dayu's control of the water.
It is said that when Dayu ruled the water, there were three dragons lurking in the Minjiang River to help, one of the yellow dragons in Dayu after the water, then lurked in the Yao Pond to practice, and finally became an immortal, called Huanglong Zhenren by later generations.
In order to commemorate this immortal who has made great contributions to water control, the Yellow Dragon Temple was built on the side of the Yao Pond where the Yellow Dragon got to become an immortal, but after years of washing, only the ruins are left, but this entire area is collectively called the Yellow Dragon.
There is also a beautiful legend about that multicolored pool.
Legend has it that when Huanglong Zhenren became an immortal, he rode the dragon to the sky with the emperor, and the Queen Mother of the West wanted to bring the colorful pool to the heavenly palace.
In order to keep the colorful pool in the world, Damei, the daughter of the mountain god of Xueding Baoshan, secretly took off the five pearls on her father's scepter, used a spell to turn it into a fake colorful pool, and deceived the Queen Mother of the West to take away the fake colorful pool, which left the real colorful pool in front of Xueding Baoshan.
And there are many legends about the snow-topped treasure mountain.
The more wonderful and fantastic the place, the easier it is to give people a sense of mystery, so it is easy to give rise to many legends. It is no exaggeration to say that the legend of the Yellow Dragon, even if a storyteller sits down and talks patiently, selects important stories, and talks about them for a few days and nights.
However, just a little understanding, and a veil of mythology over these magical and wonderful landscapes, can give people a sense of awe for nature in addition to enjoying the scenery.
The route chosen by Ning Yu and Tang Tang is to take the cable car up the mountain, and then walk all the way down after seeing the colorful pool, which is expected to take about three hours, which is not much different from the six-point gathering required by Biao Dao, and you can also easily see all the main scenery.
After handing over the money in advance, Ning Yu and Tang Tang put on down jackets and crowded into the crowd, waiting in line for the cable car. After a while, Biao Dao sent the cable car ticket and the scenic spot ticket over.
"The thought of seeing the legendary multicolored pool makes me so excited." Tang Tang's eyes lit up and said, "I really don't know if the colorful pool will look as good as in the photo." ”
Ning Yu took Tang Tang's hand and did not speak. He had a word in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to say it. What he wants to say is: as long as you are here, even the desert is the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Although there were many people waiting for the cable car, and the queue was very long, there were quite a few cable cars, one after another, and Ning Yu and Tang Tang did not wait too long to get to the cable car.
The cable car is surrounded by glass and beneath the feet, and it looks like an irregular spherical glass cover.
Ning Yu and Tang Tang thought that taking the cable car up the mountain would give them an unobstructed view of all the scenery of Huanglong from a bird's-eye view, but to their disappointment, the cable car only took them through the mountains and forests, and quickly ascended along the hillside, sending them to the top of the mountain in a few minutes, during which they could not see anything but trees.
Maybe it's because I didn't have a good rest last night, maybe it's really altitude sickness, or maybe it's a psychological effect, after Ning Yu and Tang Tang came to the top of the mountain, they both felt a little out of breath, this is obvious altitude sickness, after all, this is already close to four thousand meters above sea level, and the oxygen in the air is relatively thin, and it is normal to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen when you first come here.
At this time, the first thing they can think of is the oxygen-rich water purchased at a high price of 100 yuan a bottle.
Ning Yu unscrewed the cap of the bottle with anticipation, and took a sip carefully, only to feel very cold, but there was no special feeling other than that.
Tang Tang blinked expectantly and asked, "Do you feel better?" ”
Ning Yu said with a dark face: "Not only did I not feel good, but I felt worse." ”
"Wouldn't it? How could it feel worse? Tang Tang immediately became worried.
Ning Yu said depressedly: "I feel that we have been deceived, this water is not much different from mineral water." ”
Tang Tang comforted: "The effect will not be so fast, it is estimated that it will take a while to get better." Or maybe you're drinking too little, so you can try drinking more. ”
Ning Yu felt that Tang Tang's words made sense, so he poured two big sips and drank half a bottle directly.
"And now?" Tang Tang asked.
Ning Yu said: "I feel it." ”
"What does it feel?" Tang Tang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately felt that the two hundred yuan was worth spent.
However, Ning Yu replied: "I want to pee." ”
Tang Tang: "......"
There are more tourists at the top of the mountain than there are tourists at the bottom of the mountain, and there are public restrooms every few minutes away. Crossing a path, Ning Yu and Tang Tang came to a huge platform.
The view here is very open, and you can see not only the mountains, but also the snow-covered snow-covered Mt. Baosan.
"Wow! It's spectacular! Tang Tang's eyes widened and he sighed sincerely.
Ning Yu hurriedly took out the SLR camera and said, "Hurry up, take pictures." ”
Tang Tang hurriedly found a position and took a group photo with Xueding Baoshan, and after looking at the photo preview with great anticipation, she gave a thumbs up to Ning Yu with satisfaction: "Give you a thumbs up!" ”
After taking a few photos on the huge terrace, the two set out on the wooden path and headed for the multicolored pool.
The multicolored pool was much farther away than they had imagined, and the two of them were exhausted, and they rested several times during the period, but they didn't even see the shadow of the multicolored pool. finally saw the guide sign, but the two were depressed to find that there were still three kilometers to go from the colorful pool.
There are already people sitting on the ground to rest everywhere on the road, and some people who are not in good health, as well as the elderly and children, have even begun to hold the oxygen bags that they can carry with them and start to inhale oxygen.
What is hateful is that a child who looks like he is six or seven years old is very ignorant and pointed at the panting Tang Tang and said: "Mom, look, this sister is so pitiful, she doesn't have oxygen." ”
Tang Tang stretched out his hand to Ning Yu angrily and said, "Quickly bring my bottle of water for a hundred yuan, I can still drink it." ”
Ning Yu persuaded while taking water: "If you drink too much oxygen, you will get drunk, you drink less." ”
Tang Tang waved his hand and said, "My oxygen level is high, let alone one bottle, I can drink a few more bottles." ”
Ning Yu smiled bitterly and unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed over the water, saying, "You can drink it, but we really don't have that big head to buy so much." ”
After drinking the water and taking a short rest, Tang Tang pulled Ning Yu as if he was angry, deliberately pretending to be like a popeye who had eaten spinach, and pulled Ning Yu to quickly overtake the little boy who had just "pitied" her, and strode forward.
The three-kilometer road, if you just walk on flat ground, in fact, as long as you are in good health, you can stick to it. But their current situation is different, this is on the mountain, one will climb up and one will go down, the steps have been walked countless times, and it is still at an altitude of 3,000 hundreds of meters, it is really very hard.
Ning Yu took the initiative to take all the items that the two of them carried with him, but even so, Tang Tang was so tired that his lips turned white, which made Ning Yu very worried.
Tang Tang said angrily as he walked: "In the future, we must discipline our children well, and we must not let him talk nonsense outside, it seems that he has no tutor." ”
Ning Yu knew that Tang Tang was still angry with the little boy, so he couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Yes, our children must be disciplined well." Don't talk about this, you're not tired now, or I'll carry you. ”
Tang Tang glanced at Ning Yu and said angrily: "Do you want to carry me to get tired and lie down, and then let me carry you down the mountain?" No way! Let's go, go on! It should be almost there. ”
Finally, after bypassing a bend and climbing dozens of wooden steps, Ning Yu and Tang Tang could already see many brightly colored pools in the distance, as well as the dense human heads on the trestle around those pools.
Thinking that victory was just around the corner, Ning Yu and Tang Tang were both full of strength and pushed towards their destination even harder.
However, there was still a long distance between seeing and actually arriving, and soon Ning Yu and Tang Tang saw a brand new sign on a fork in the road, on one side they could walk another kilometer to reach the colorful pool attraction, and what they could see was that they were going up the mountain next, and on the other hand, they were going directly down the mountain.
This is the first time that there has been a fork in the road, and here nearly half of the people have chosen to go down the hill, and it seems that they find it difficult to hold out until the end, but there are still half of them continuing to make their way to the multicolored pool.
"How do we get there?" Ning Yu was worried that Tang Tang's body couldn't stand it, so he asked.
Although Tang Tang seems to be weak, he is particularly strong in his bones. She said without hesitation: "Then do you still need to ask?" I've already come here, and I'm definitely not going to stop if I don't see the colorful pool. ”
Ning Yu raised his head and glanced into the distance, and said, "Actually, you can also see the colorful pool here." ”
Tang Tang said in a resolute tone: "This will definitely not work, I have to stand on the side and watch it closely, otherwise wouldn't it be easier for me to simply not come up?" ”
"Okay, then move on!"
From here and further up, the steps are almost full. Ning Yu and Tang Tang gritted their teeth and continued to insist, walking past the groups of resting people, and the steps narrowed the distance between them and the colorful pool.
Finally, after walking for nearly half an hour, they reached the edge of the colorful pool.
The light is good today, and maybe the light here is good. On one side is the snow-capped treasure mountain, and on the other side is a gorgeous and wonderful multicolored pool.
Before, Ning Yu and Tang Tang were wondering if the real colorful pool would not be as beautiful as what they saw in the photos, after all, now people are very clever in taking pictures, and there are many ways to beautify, even the most ordinary people can shoot like a dazzling star. But after really seeing the multicolored pool up close, all their previous suspicions vanished in an instant.
The real scene of the colorful pool is 10,000 times more beautiful than the one in the photo. The area that can be photographed in the photo is limited, and it is hard to imagine that the small blue pond is cascading down like a terraced rice field, and it is hard to imagine that it is a product of nature.
It turns out that any human ingenuity, in the face of nature's ingenuity, is just a small skill of carving insects.
"Really...... Beauty is dead! Tang Tang shouted excitedly.
