August 10, 2020 Sunny Hike Tianmu Mountain

When I went to see the fireflies today, I found a huge volcanic worm. They are particularly large.

"Tired of climbing the mountain for five hours?"

"Not tired. As there was water on the mountain, it was comfortable to wash your face and wash your hands. Also see a variety of small blind spiders, and watermelon worms. ”

"I can't catch up with you if you're running so fast."

"Well, it's just that I want to pluck the moon, but I don't want to pick the sun, so it's always morning, and no one is afraid."

"Why do you like small insects so much?"

"They're awesome. Will it turn into a ball, will you?

"Will the tail be broken, will you?"

"Will pretend to be dead, will you?"

"Do humans have so many legs?"

Mom's Notes

Enter the three words "Tianmu Mountain", and your mind is blank... Five hours of hiking on the trail seems to have never happened.

And just a few hours ago, on the mountain road built by monks in the Yuan Dynasty, the forty-something people were about to cry: they rarely exercised, their right knee meniscus was injured, they had no climbing tools, and they were wearing only a pair of ordinary flat shoes on their feet. Worry about my eight-year-old son, who climbs mountains faster than a monkey.

Later, I found out that I couldn't take care of him at all.

We are on the Western Front. The road up the mountain has monks paving the way with stones, but, in most places, just put your feet on your feet. Hundreds of years ago, it was even more difficult for monks to build roads, so the stones were also extremely casual.

The road, the gentle place, the two can pass by the wrong body. On the steep slopes, a man climbs on all fours, surrounded by cliffs without any protection, and at his feet are vibrant mosses. Because few people walk, the flora and fauna are lush and rich

Tianmu Mountain

In the one-mile pavilion, the child giggled around me, playing with water and catching insects. I urge the child, hurry up.

Three Mile Pavilion, the child in front, I began to gasp a little, shouting "Wait Mom" The child looked at me "Mom, then you sit and rest, I'll go first." "As soon as I raised my eyes, I crawled with my friends without a trace." I was in the back, fighting for the last bit of strength of the old mother: "Slow down, wait for me." ”

Wuli Pavilion, I was already angry, immersed in the mountain forest alone. I don't know where the people before and after are. I finally stopped worrying about the child in my mind and began to drift with all kinds of fox fairy ghost stories. The trees on both sides of the ancient road, small as a hundred years, large as a thousand years, the sun occasionally shines in, and then quickly disappears... The opening words of the chat are like this.

A person's heart is rich in activity, enough to become a drama. Resisting the silence between the mountains and forests, but not resisting the spiritual creatures of the mountains and forests.

Thinking too much, forgetting the foot, one step did not stand steady, or fell an ass pier. I want to scold people in pain, think about it and have no one to scold, so I don't get up and sit on the ground.

A butterfly, suddenly falling from the sky, spread its wings, the size of my two open palms. Long mouthpieces, like curly straws, emerald green and beautiful. It circled the moss-covered stone under my eyelids, its mouth bulging and contracting, as if sucking up the moisture from the moss. The wings are black and covered with a jewel-like blue in the middle of the wings, occasionally shining in the sun.

I didn't dare to move my phone, so I looked at it like this, one circle or two... Like the lightest dancer. At that moment, I took a deep breath, "It turns out that the spirit of all things looks like this!" ”

Go up, you really can't move, it's harder to turn back. Sit down and don't think about it. The path I chose, I could only continue to climb up with a hard scalp.

Children, long gone. My mother didn't have the strength to call.

Fucking's heart is in front of you, how not to slip and fall off the cliff.

There are also some magical places along the way. A cave with ventilation on all sides, or under a boulder, is the place where a certain Great Immortal cultivator retreated. It is said that Tianmu Mountain is a treasure land for the gods and immortals to cultivate, and several great gods have appeared. Of course, laymen like me can't see the doorway, and it all depends on the introduction of the stone text at his feet.

Occasionally entering a mountain gate, an old lady of a common family sat in the sun in front of the temple gate, next to two cats basking in the sun, reclining on the floor. For a second, I thought I had entered the "chat fast".

The old lady was kind and smiled at me, and I nodded at her. Entering the temple gate, there is no smell of incense in the hall, and the gods and immortals enshrined in the hall do not know what kind of gods, only the merit box is placed in the middle of the hall. I stepped back and saw a small stone tablet at the door introduced.

It turned out to be the source of Zhao Mengfu's writing of the Heart Sutra. In an instant, there was a sudden connection of reality. Many great calligraphers have written the Heart Sutra, and what I like is zhao Mengfu's book. For five hours, the one who searched for the ancient road to visit was not the handwriting on the west wall, and it was also possible to attach a "thousand-year fate". Haha, so what, my own words are still not well written, pray for the blessings of the great immortals.

Tianmu Mountain got its name because there is a pool on the top of the peak in the east and west, like a double gaze looking up at the sky.

The highest point of the main peak is more than 1200 meters, the total length is 5068 meters, Baidu before departure, I did not expect that these 5 kilometers are all ancient rocky mountain roads. The road between Sanli Pavilion and Qili Pavilion is particularly difficult to walk, and the distance between the stop pavilions is getting longer and longer. Whether the coccyx has a crack is not known, but it hurts.

After passing through the Seven Mile Pavilion, the heart that wanted to die seemed to have eased up a little, and the function of people was mobilized. In short, it seems to have regained some physical strength. Once you have energy, you start to have leisure again.

For example, an inconspicuous stone stele on the side of the road, a closer look, it is recorded that Li Bai once went here to write, "Yi Xi ascended to the top, and peeped down at the Tianmu Pine." Where the immortals refine jade, the feathers leave a trace. "About the poem was written by Li Bai, and the stele was carved by posterity.

The "Great Tree King" given by Qianlong is the Net Red Punch Point of Tianmu Mountain. Mt. Tianmu is famous for its many trees and large trees. But the plant that Qianlong personally wrapped with a belt was particularly stout. The common people did not know what allusions were given, thinking that the bark of the royal tree king could cure diseases, and rushed to the tree to peel the skin, and the good tree king died in 193. Live through the years, but not live "people". However, once a person dies, the king of the tree still does not fall, and new shoots begin to grow on the hollow top of the tree year by year...

The Great King Tree

The way up the hill is boring and even scary. When you stand alone, standing in a corner of the earth, people and things related to you suddenly all disappear, only these "umbrella-like" trees in front of you are 300 years old, 500 years old, or even 1,000 years old. The smell of sweat on the body attracts countless bugs, buzzing in the ears, as if to say: Fall down, fall down, fall is our best dinner. "You can't lie down here and feed the bugs." This ambition supported me to the end.

My son and two other friends arrived more than half an hour earlier than me, idly catching blind spiders and playing.

Go back to the room and lie back in bed. The son grabbed a bag of "watermelon worms" all the way, and he didn't know which kid's room to play "playing watermelon worm marbles".

Unexpectedly, the first mountain I conquered on foot was actually ---- Tianmu Mountain.
