Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 65

After the town woke up from the snow, Hu Tu and Xu Qiuyu had breakfast, and the group set off for Dailuoding.

Dailuoding, also known as "Qingfengding", is named after the green mountains.It is a small mountain extending from the top of Mount Wutai, with a vertical height of only 400 meters.According to the records of "Qingliang Mountain Records", the history of Dailuoding began in the Tang Dynasty.There is also a record of the stone tablet in the mid-autumn of the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty behind the Dailuoding mountain gate: "The milk peak is shaped like a spiral snail, round and clean, and it is commonly known as the big snail top. It is also called Qingfeng in the annals... It is said that there was a sacred tree in ancient times. Dharma thoughts rest here."

Dailuoding is often hidden in the clouds and mist. There is a temple on the top of the mountain, which was originally named Foding Nunnery, but was renamed Dailuoding Temple after the Qing Dynasty.There is a statue of "Wufang Manjusri" in the temple.This peak, about 400 meters high, is a symbol of the five major items of Mount Wutai.

"With Wuding mountain as high as the road is far away, there are those who can't reach it. So far, it is still up to the five tops." Chaotai".This is also the place where Buddhists must come to worship. The Manjusri of the five directions on the top of the five platforms gather here, so there is also a saying that "if you don't climb the top of Dailuo, you are not a visitor to Taishan".

There are three ways and four ways to climb to the top of Dailuo.

One is to use the cableway to take the cable car, which costs 48 yuan for one way and 80 yuan for the whole journey. This method is the fastest;
The second is to ride a horse through the Qingshi Road and the horse path, which costs 50 yuan, and there are herdsmen leading the horses.The horse road and the Qingshi road are mixed together, sometimes merged and sometimes separated;

The third is to climb 1080 steps up the mountain on foot. This road is Dazhi Road built in 1991, with a total length of 108 meters and a net width of 2.2 meters. It is all paved with bluestones from Mount Wutai.I heard that you can’t look back on this road, because the 1080 steps represent 108 troubles in life. Don’t look back when you walk this road, discard the troubles, and keep looking up, otherwise it is unlucky.

"I'm going to take the high-speed rail this afternoon, so I'm going to take the cable car to go up and down the mountain quickly." Chen Guotao first proposed that this was his best choice after weighing the journey and going up the mountain.But he didn't want to go up the mountain like this. He looked at Xu Qiuyu, wondering what she was thinking.

Xu Qiuyu hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, I would rather try horseback riding. I haven't tried riding a horse down a mountain yet! We are here to climb the mountain. If we just take the cableway, it would be too boring."

"I want to walk and climb 1080 steps up the mountain." Wang Pinqiu said, "I will go back tomorrow. I can play on this mountain all day today and climb slowly."

Hu Tu glanced at Wang Pinqiu secretly, and said, "I have relatively good physical strength, and I want to try the feeling of walking up the mountain." As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the playful eyes of everyone looking at him, as if saying, don't hide, you That small thought has been exposed.He rolled his eyes, and quickly shifted his focus, "Brother Tao, why don't you go up the mountain at least, just to take care of Xu Qiuyu on the way. Take the cable car when you go down the mountain. You don't have to look at it for too long, and you have time."

Chen Guotao took a peek at Xu Qiuyu and said, "That's fine, I haven't ridden a horse yet!" Everyone turned their eyes to him again, as if they were saying, don't hide, your little thoughts have been exposed.

The four were divided into two teams again. Before setting off, Hu Tu paid for everyone's expenses for going up the mountain, bought some dry food, and packed some hot water to take with him.

At the beginning, Wang Pinqiu was full of energy and kept saying that he would reach the top of the mountain ahead of Xu Qiuyu and Chen Guotao.It's just that the snow on the stone steps has not yet melted, so you have to be careful when walking, so it's impossible to walk too fast.On the way, they saw some pious people walking up the mountain in three steps and one worship in the snow. They were so sincere that they secretly admired these people, but they didn't try to do that.

After 10 minutes, the two climbed to the third place. Under the heavy clothes and backpack, her breathing was no longer stable.Looking up at the mountain, I saw the hills rising from the middle of the majestic mountain, and I felt that it was not much closer than when I first went up the mountain.She shook her head slightly, paused for a while, and asked, "Hu Tu, have you followed?" She firmly believed in the saying that you can't look back on the way up the mountain, and she was determined not to look back.

"I've been at the back." Hu Tu was standing three steps behind her, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" He acted quite relaxed, not only did he not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, his breath and the time when he went up the mountain Just as smooth.

He himself was also very surprised, when his physical strength became so good, he carried a lot of things, but walking was extremely easy.He could also guess that this must be related to the lotus platform. It is not surprising that the mysterious lotus platform can even fit into such a large space and can subtly improve the body.After all, the existence of the lotus platform itself is the greatest miracle.

Liantai's changes to him are fundamental. On the surface, he seems to be the same person as before, but the changes have extended to his basic necessities of life, and even his thoughts, wisdom and choices.In fact, he is no longer who he used to be.

"It's okay, isn't it like this when climbing a mountain!" Wang Pinqiu took a deep breath and continued to climb, but the speed was obviously not as good as before.This time, she climbed more than 200 levels, stopped again, panted and asked again, "Hu Tu, have you kept up?"

"Follow up, I've been following." Hu Tu was still as relaxed as before.

This time, Wang Pinqiu was no longer surprised. She waved her hand and said, "The wind in front is too strong. Go ahead and help me block the wind."

She was actually a little depressed.She has practiced martial arts, and always thought that her physical strength was not weaker than ordinary men, but she was panting in front of Hu Tu, which did not fit the image she had always created.But the body can't lie, she is already very tired, this can't lie.

But she also has countermeasures. On this road of no turning back, if she walks behind, Hu Tu will not see that she is very tired.And maybe it can really block the wind!
Hu Tu walked up to Wang Pinqiu, seeing that she was very tired, he untied the water bottle and handed it to her, saying, "Drink some water, take a rest before leaving."

Wang Pinqiu took the kettle, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, frowned suddenly, and said in surprise, "Hu Tu, why don't you pant when you climb the mountain?"

Hu Tu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears. He pointed to his nose, took two deep breaths, and said, "Do you see that I am not breathing? I am a living person. If I don't breathe, I will died!"

A simple sentence hit Wang Pinqiu's smile.She was covering her stomach, holding the stone steps with her hands, laughing non-stop, the kettle and the stone steps collided with "ding ding", and then she explained: "Why are you not panting, I mean why don't you pant a lot, don't you Are you tired?"

At this time, it is a good time for Hu Tu to show himself with a new look. He said: "Didn't I say that I have relatively good physical strength, and such a little way is nothing to me at all."

Wang Pinqiu poured water into her water glass, took two sips carefully, and said, "You have such good physical strength, then you should learn martial arts, you will definitely be able to practice well."

Hu Tu said disapprovingly: "I'm an adult, it's too late to practice martial arts now."

"As long as you are willing to learn, it's never too late." Wang Pinqiu smiled, "I've only practiced martial arts for more than five years, so I've learned it very well!"

"You, you, you have learned martial arts?" Hu Tu was very shocked. He suddenly remembered the scene of being locked by her throat. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away. Now he found the reason.

Wang Pinqiu said with a smile: "Yes, don't you believe it? How about we make gestures?"

"No." Hu Tu didn't even think about such a useless thing like being beaten, and immediately refused sternly, "Don't make trouble, we are on the steps, we can't fight."

"Then let's try it after climbing up." Wang Pinqiu continued to be interested, and warned, "Don't look back, it will bring bad luck."
