Chapter 91 Someone is coming from Yunding Mountain
Chapter 91 Someone is coming from Yunding Mountain
Song You sat cross-legged in the awning, quietly feeling the aura of Jingdao Lake and the coolness of the night.
Something else floated faintly.
It's people's will.
Song You had no intention of walking on the Shinto path. He had never received this kind of wishing power. Naturally, he didn't know where this wishing power came from. At this moment, he still waved his hand and let them disperse on their own.
Before I knew it, it was already dawn.
The surface of the lake is still as smooth as a mirror, but there is cold smoke on the water, which is misty and misty, and reflects the blue sky, making the boat seem not to be on the water, but in the sky.
The weather is good today, it was sunny early in the morning.
The boatman's voice came from outside:
"gentlemen!"
The calico cat immediately opened its eyes and turned its head to look.
Song You also opened his eyes, stood up and walked out.
The boatman’s voice kept coming:
"Sir, come out and take a look. You can see Yunding Mountain today! This is really good luck. It's rare that you can see Yunding Mountain early in the morning!"
Song You went out and took a look.
The weather was extremely clear, and a high mountain in the distance revealed its true appearance, as if it were in the sky. A white cloud wrapped a belt around its waist, and at its feet was a green lake surrounding the mountain.
Although it can be seen, you can tell by seeing it half-hidden and half-revealed in the clouds and mist——
Not only is it very high, it's also very far!
"Sir, don't look at the fact that Yunding Mountain seems to be right in front of you, but you can walk from here, let alone to the top of the mountain. If you don't go there by boat, you will have to walk for two or three days to even get to the foot of the mountain." The boatman stood on the bow of the boat and said.
Looking up at the famous fairy mountain, although there is no real statement that there were gods on it, and most of the stories about meeting gods are casually told by people who came down from the mountain, but by the Jingdao Lake, I pointed at the lake and the mountain.
Who among the boatmen who are dining does not respect it?
"When I carry Mr. back to the shore, if he can still find his horse, the villain also advises Mr. not to walk and find another big boat that can carry the horse. The lake is very big and long. From
It's very close to the other side by punting here, and it will take half a day. If we go around on foot, we don't know how far it is."
"Thank you boatman."
Song You answered the boatman's words, but he had already retracted his gaze from the fairy mountain, and instead glanced down——
The calico cat also followed him out of the cabin. At this time, he was lowering his body, raising his buttocks and stretching. His pink and tender tongue was stuck out for a long time, rolled up, and then took it back after stretching, and looked at him.
After a quick glance, he turned his attention to the mountain in the sky across the lake.
Looking at it this way, the mountain seems to be floating in the sky.
"Please ask the boatman to take us back."
"okay."
An hour later.
The ship docked.
The boatman watched the young gentleman go ashore, and then saw a bay-red horse approaching in the distance, jingling its bell.
That horse should be a Bei Yuan horse. It is not a tall horse, but it is a good horse with strong and durable skin. It is also commonly used in the army. This horse is shorter than most Bei Yuan horses, but it looks quite energetic. Last night
I didn't see it clearly, but when I looked again today, I realized that the horse didn't even have a rein. Not only did it not have a rein, there was no trace of a saddle on its body.
No wonder you are not afraid of being stolen at night.
If a thief wants to steal a horse without a rein, he will have to be able to harness it.
This is really a great experience.
"Slow down, sir."
"Thank you boatman."
The boatman saw the gentleman turn around and give him a hand, and then walked forward. The horse behind him was carrying a quilt and followed obediently. The calico cat took small steps and ran to the front to smell the flowers - they finally
I didn’t choose to punt across the lake, but said I wanted to see more of the scenery around the lake.
"Tsk..."
The boatman clicked his tongue.
…
I couldn't see clearly last night, but when I saw it during the day, the scenery of Jingdao Lake was really good.
Last night, the sunset and starlight were reflected. Today, the entire blue sky is reflected, and the lake surface has turned blue. In this mirror-like lake, there are countless small islands with various shapes, as if they were painted on rice paper.
After finishing the painting, I added a lot of embellishments to this vast lake with no visible edges, making it no longer monotonous, but becoming exquisite and delicate.
"Are we just going to that mountain?" The calico cat raised its head high and looked at the mountains on the horizon. It only asked when it was in a deserted place.
"yes."
"It seems to be in heaven."
"yes."
"It seems very far away."
"Do you want to go, Miss Sanhua?"
"Sanhua Empress will follow you."
"good."
With the beautiful scenery and the company of Sanhua Empress, Song You was in a bad mood.
My steps became brisk.
Not far away, he saw a plant on the side of the road with many small green hooked fruits. He smiled and said to the calico cat: "Miss Sanhua, please look, the cockleburs you are most afraid of have come out."
."
"where?"
The calico cat turned around and almost jumped up on the spot.
"Don't be afraid."
Song You bent down and picked one up, pulled it off the plant, and played with it casually in his hand.
"??"
The calico cat couldn't help being shocked when he saw this.
It didn't stick to his body?
He is worthy of being a profound Taoist priest.
Then she saw that he wanted to show it to her, so she quickly backed away and shook her head: "Throw it away quickly!"
Song You smiled again, it seemed that she was really scared.
There are not only cockleburs, but also Maojuzi.
Along the way, I saw a lot.
Later, the calico cat finally figured out that the thing would only stick to the fur. Human skin is smooth and they can't stick to it.
So in the afternoon, she transformed into a human form, put on her old clothes, and still held the small bamboo stick she got from the Jiao Temple in her hand.
I won’t let you succeed,” “I won’t let you go today,” “Suffer death,” “None of you will survive,” and the like.
The cockleburs and ghost needles by the lake are in bad luck.
It is indeed nearly 200 miles to go around the entire Jingdao Lake from here to the foot of Yunding Mountain. It would take two days if you were traveling lightly and with good footwork, and three days if you walked a little slower.
Stop and enjoy the lakeside scenery, or go to the lakeside village to play, then you won't be able to stop.
Song You and Sanhua Empress also visited the lakeside villages, and they often saw people fishing. Song You would buy fish from them, half of which would be eaten by Sanhua Empress, and the other half would be roasted to satisfy his own hunger.
Fish are not valuable here, so many people will give him two directly if they see that he is a Taoist.
The food along the way was pretty good.
The weather is also good, the autumn air is crisp and the scenery is endless.
Two days later.
A man, a cat and a horse have arrived on the other side of the lake.
There is a ferry here, allowing tourists from Changsheng County to take a boat from the opposite side. A pavilion has been built for people to rest. There is a frog temple that is particularly common on Jingdao Lake, and there are lively local villagers.
Bamboo sticks, dry food and specialties from the lake are sold here. A loess path leads from here to the endless mountains.
There is a stone with writing on it——
Yunding Fairy Mountain goes here.
Song You saw a boat coming from the lake. He thought they were tourists who came to Yunding Mountain to seek immortals. He had no intention of accompanying them. He only bought a few dried fish and went to Yunding Mountain.
The path at this time was not narrow yet and very gentle.
However, the road soon became narrow and steep, winding up the mountain. When walking on it, the body seemed to be tilted, which was very tiring.
Occasionally there are some stones on the roadside that you can sit on, with flat tops. I don’t know who moved them there in what year and month, and I don’t know how many people have sat on them since. The surface has been polished smooth. There are often signs of life in these places.
There were signs of fire, maybe someone had cooked or slept here.
Sometimes I meet other pedestrians, and I am often passed by them.
Because even on this mountain, Song You's steps were still so long, neither fast nor slow. Compared to ordinary tourists who were obviously slower, he was much faster.
On the other hand, tourists are talkative, and people especially like to talk to Taoists and monks. People often talk to Song You when they meet him, which delays him a lot of time.
It was still very hot down the mountain at this time.
Along the way up the mountain, there often grows a creeping shrub called "sweet potato" by Yizhou people on the edge of the cliff. It grows close to the ground and bears a small fruit at its root, which is about the size of a fingernail, red and purple, and very delicious. Song Dynasty
When you met, you couldn't help but pause your climbing process and spent a lot of time picking some.
This is the taste of childhood summer.
As we walk further up, it gradually gets cooler.
However, there is a unique local flower growing here. It is a short plant. The flowers it blooms are very thin and small. They are only as big as rice dots, but they are all surrounded by balls the size of eggs. They are round and cute.
Great, the increasingly cooler depths of the mountains seem to be the right environment for them to grow. They both grow well and bloom well.
Walking among the flowers, I felt as if I had gone from summer to spring in reverse.
In one day, we only climbed halfway up the mountain.
It is said to be halfway up Yunding Mountain, but it is actually the top of another mountain.
A big mountain like Yunding Mountain cannot be climbed directly. You have to climb many mountains one after another before you can reach its real foot and be qualified to climb it.
It is very difficult to walk further up the road. In many places, there is no road at all. It can only be said that someone has stepped on it. Not only are there many thorns, but you often walk on the cliff. From time to time, you can hear the roar of tigers and wolves, which is scary.
Many people only climb halfway up the mountain.
Even halfway up the mountain, you are already standing on the top of the mountains, above the sea of clouds, overlooking the world. The scenery is enough to satisfy everyone's eyes. And only the most stubborn immortal seekers will continue to move forward, and will be beaten again.
The dangers and tribulations along the way have brought back a large part of it.
Song You saw the mountain peaks passing in front of him, the black bear that vaguely wanted to eat it for lunch, and he encountered countless elven-like wild animals.
This section of the road is also amazing.
It seems that as you go higher and higher, the air becomes thinner and the temperature drops. The flowers and plants below no longer grow here, and the trees on the mountain have obviously changed, taking on the characteristics of alpine trees.
Song You put on lotus clothes.
"Are we at the top of the mountain?"
"not yet."
"This mountain is so high!"
"yes."
"When can we climb up there?"
"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow."
"oh."
"Miss Sanhua, are you tired?"
"Miss Sanhua, you are not tired."
"Is that cold?"
"not cold."
"Want to rest?"
"don't want."
"How about we stop and enjoy the scenery?"
"good……"
One person, one cat and one horse found a place to rest. The Taoist sat anywhere on the shallow lawn and watched the scenery in the distance. The calico cat fell sideways and lay motionless on the ground. The horse humped her with its mouth and began to
Eating dry grass on this high mountain may be different from eating grass below the mountain.
Few people come here anymore.
But after sitting for a while, I heard a bell ringing behind me, and then I heard voices.
