Chapter 16 Staying at Huayan Pavilion on a rainy day, and going to Guanyin Mountain in the middle of the night

The breeze blows, and the smell of barbecue mixed with the fragrance of flowers all over the mountains drifts with the wind, and at the same time, you can hear the faint sound of wooden fish and chanting, which is in the ears and endures for a long time.

Xiaobai's girlfriend, who came from afar, asked, "Is there a temple here?" ”

As soon as she asked, it was the turn of the local Lao Zhao to play, and I said to Lao Zhao on the side: "Lao Zhao, start your play." ”

Lao Zhao glared at me, and sure enough, he couldn't help but speak, and said: "Yuxin Mountain, there are two temples and two gardens, the two temples are Xiaozhu Temple and Haiyuan Temple, and the two gardens are country parks and Yushan Cemetery. ”

"It's a temple, a cemetery, and a park, and it's quite rich. I chimed in.

"Yes, every Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival here, there will be a lot of people who come to sweep the graves and go to the graves, blocking the water along the way. ”

"After sweeping the tomb, you can also visit a temple and a garden. Xiaobai also said.

Lao Zhao said affirmatively: "That's right, during the Qingming Festival, the popularity here is sky-high and the yang energy is strong. Those who come to burn paper and sweep the tombs, by the way, will also go to the two temples to incense, worship the Buddha, and many people will also come to the country park to go out and burn barbecue. ”

"What if the popularity is too strong, so that those who have already done ghosts, and those who are hit by this person's popularity dare not come out to receive the sacrifice?" I asked on a whim.

Lao Zhao smiled and said: "So the cheap little animals, they eat too many sacrifices and tributes, and slowly become more and more spiritual, you see that ghostly squirrel, does it feel smarter than ordinary squirrels?"

We followed Lao Zhao's gaze and looked, there was really a little squirrel, staring at Lao Zhao intently, as if he was listening to Lao Zhao's story, it was really amazing.

Lao Zhao is a person who is more talkative.

He gushed and continued: "Xiaozhu Temple is the first temple where Zen Buddhism was introduced to Yunnan in China. It was built in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was rebuilt twice during the Qianlong and Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty, and the area was getting bigger and bigger.

There are 500 colorful sculptures of Arhat in Xiaozhu Temple, hundreds of figures are in different postures, the statues are exquisite, simple, vivid, rich in changes, the characters are very different, the images are realistic, all lifelike, it is a well-known clay sculpture art treasure in the sea.

Legend has it that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the supreme ruler of Nanzhao, the Marquis of Kunming, The two Gao Zhi brothers, to the West Mountain hunting, suddenly saw a rhinoceros jumping out, so they chased closely, chased to the north of the Jade Case Mountain, the rhinoceros suddenly disappeared, looking around, looking up at the top of the mountain, only to see the mountain clouds and mist, there is a group of cranes with children's faces, the strange shape of the monk standing on the clouds, they hurriedly went up the mountain to check, to there, the monk has long disappeared, only a few monks of the bamboo cane inserted on the ground, the Gao brothers want to pull up to see the end, but try their best to pull it out.

Gao Guang, Gao Zhi brothers felt strange, the next day to the jade case mountain to see, the stupid bamboo cane inserted in the ground has grown into a verdant bamboo forest, they were very surprised, felt that it was the 'mountain god manifestation', thought that this is a precious 'Buddha land', so they built a temple here to recruit monks, and named 'Xiaozhu Temple'.

Therefore, there are sub-couplets on the pillars on both sides in front of the door of the Heavenly King Treasure Hall to make this summary: the real estate Lingshan, the white elephant is auspicious, the green lion is Xianrui; ”

After listening to Lao Zhao's tirade introduction, I felt that he had really put a lot of effort into "showing" in front of people.

After learning about these legends, Xiaozhu Temple has successfully aroused everyone's interest, so someone suggested that after eating barbecue, go to the temple, anyway, there is nothing to do, and it has won everyone's unanimous praise.

After eating and drinking, we sat down for a while, cleaned up the mess of cups and plates, peeled paper scraps, and threw them in the trash.

Civilized people do civilized things, come cleanly, and walk cleanly, which is the basic quality that everyone should have.

After tidying up, we set off for Xiaozhu Temple.

The thousand-year-old temple, as expected, is worthy of its name, the building is exquisite and exquisite, beautiful, the Buddha statue has a look, majestic and magnificent.

The innocence of Spring City is the face of a doll, and it will change when it is said, just now the wind and the sun are beautiful, and suddenly it will be cloudy and rainy.

It just so happened that our group went to Huayan Pavilion, because of the rain to stay guests, everyone had to stop in Huayan Pavilion to avoid the rain, during which Huayan Pavilion was watched many times.

It is said that Huayan Pavilion was once the only well-preserved Qing Dynasty dougong building in Chuncheng, and its dougong exquisiteness is comparable to the wooden tower of Yingxian County, the "Dougong Museum".

Originally, there were couplets written by the Qing Dynasty literati Qian Nanshu and murals by Li Guangxiu, but unfortunately they were destroyed by an accidental fire in April 1984. Later, in October 1989, it was rebuilt, and the main body of the rebuilt building is a reinforced concrete structure. The unfortunate experience of these ancient cultural relics is really a pity.

Although there are many historic sites in China, there are too many losses in the modern war of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan's invasion of China, etc., plus a lot of natural disasters, which is really a pity for the efforts of the ancients.

Stop and wait for the rain, wait for the rain to stop when the sky is getting dark, we hurry out of the temple, and then go to the parking lot to get the car to go back to the city, the road is pitch black, except for the insects and birds, it is very quiet.

We start the vehicle, set off steadily, Lao Zhao this old spring city is familiar with the road, drive the Mercedes-Benz to turn the head of the car out of the parking lot, I and Lao Zhao two people a car, they four people a car, walking, the lights flickered, saw that there was a memorial arch in front of the road, how could it not go?

The two of us took a closer look, this old Zhao was really confused, and he actually drove towards the Yuxian Mountain Cemetery, although we are so bold, but in this place where the yin qi is extremely strong, we are also very panicked, and there is a trace of nervousness in our hearts.

Yang Shuai also followed closely, and also found that he had taken the wrong road, the two cars turned around one after another, and the car in front was still Lao Zhao.

It's really strange that such a good Mercedes-Benz coupe has such a declining time? Is it because of hand trembling, or is the car shaking?

Lao Zhao's car started with one button, but he pressed it more than ten times, and it still maintained an attitude of refusing to cooperate, and it was always holding back and not catching fire.

Suddenly, Lao Zhao's nervousness and I intensified, and I asked, "What's going on?

"Don't talk nonsense, where the hell is, let's get out of the car with me. ”

"You go by yourself, since there are no ghosts, what are you afraid of?"

"Originally, I didn't think there were ghosts, but in this environment, I don't feel that confident. ”

Well, I'm not the timid person either, just look at it.

Then we both pushed the door and got out of the car at the same time, opened the hood, and started to check the condition of the car with our mobile phones.

Yang Shuai and Xiaobai in the back immediately ran over to inquire about the situation, and the two female comrades were already frightened and didn't dare to get out of the car.

When Yang Shuai saw this situation, he said: "Lao Zhao, I heard that if someone suddenly can't walk on this side of Yuxin Mountain, it means that there is something that wants to hitchhike, and the destination is basically Guanyin Mountain, and many of the ghosts here and there are relatives, and sometimes they have to walk around." ”

"you, superstition. Lao Zhao retorted.

"Hehe, I'm just hearsay, maybe that's the case, or we'll try again later, and they should be able to start the fire when they get in the car. Then you have to go to Guanyin Mountain for a run, otherwise the ghost will get lost, and it will be difficult to send it away in the future. ”

I don't know if what Yang Shuai said is true or not, anyway, this topic sounds creepy, and it doesn't seem like he made it up temporarily.

And Lao Zhao didn't believe in this evil, insisted on checking the problems of the car, and sure enough, the hard work paid off, it turned out to be just a loose line, Lao Zhao plugged in again, and tried to get in the car again, hehe, sure enough, everything was fine.

Get in the car and sit down, we have to leave this place quickly, Yang Shuai and Xiaobai didn't want to stay longer, and hurriedly set off.

There were only me and Lao Zhao in the car, and I always felt that there seemed to be something unusual in the car along the way, and repeatedly looked at the back seat from the rearview mirror, but I didn't find any clues.

Finally, the lights of the city come into view, and the downtown area is already in sight, and the courage has increased with the increase in popularity on the streets.

I asked Lao Zhao, "Do we want to go to Guanyin Mountain?"

Lao Zhao glanced at me and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, go home and finish your business, I'm afraid that he will be a bird." ”

After that, I didn't say anything, Lao Zhao first wanted to send us back to the dormitory, and then go home alone.

When I arrived at our dormitory, I was about to get out of the car and leave, but Lao Zhao finally spoke up and said, "Lao Du, do you want to accompany me to Guanyin Mountain?"

Yang Shuai and Xiaobai also came over in the back, and they all said that it would be better to go for a trip, although we didn't believe it, but it was no big deal to go for a trip, and there was no harm in being cautious.

After discussing it, they first put the two girls back to their residences, they were too timid to participate in such a thrilling action. Then the two of us set off towards Guanyin Mountain.

After starting from the city and going south to Dianchi Lake, we then ran on the Dianchi Lake Ring Road.

Looking at the night scene outside the window on the left, the dark Dianchi Lake and the towering West Mountain in the distance, I feel that everything is so mysterious, there is no light, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it has lost its due color.

Guanyin Mountain is still quite far away, only 150 kilometers around Dianchi Lake, I feel that we are almost halfway around the lake, and finally close to the destination.

Yang Shuai in the back called us to remind us that after arriving at the destination, we need to get out of the car and open the door, and wait for a while before leaving, otherwise they may be too slow and have not had time to get off the bus, and then we will take them back.

I relayed it to Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao suspiciously commented that Yang Shuai's statement was too mysterious and superstitious, but after arriving at the destination, Lao Zhao still called me to get out of the car together and opened the four doors, and Yang Shuai in the back also got out of the car and opened the four doors.

Yang Shuai looked at the wooden-leafed, gloomy cemetery opposite, and couldn't help but want to smoke a cigarette to suppress his shock.

And what do we non-smokers do? I proposed chewing gum to suppress the shock, and it was unanimously approved. We huddled together, chewing and thinking.

After about five or six minutes, I couldn't bear to be quiet and said, "Shouldn't we go? Don't stay too long, and if we meet a few people who want to return to Yuxin Mountain and want to take a ride, then we have to send another trip?"

When Lao Zhao heard this, he didn't say anything, quickly closed the rear door, and then shouted: "Get in the car." ”

Yang Shuai and Xiaobai also ran to close the door and get into the car, which really scared the baby to death.

If such a terrible thing had happened three or five times in a row, wouldn't we have to run between the two cemeteries all night, and if we met a few kind-hearted people, we would have to stuff a few pieces of money from the Bank of Paradise?

Lao Zhao, a materialist, even followed us with the flow. In fact, we are all materialists, but in line with the principle that we would rather believe in everything, we comfort ourselves that more is better than less.

The car drove far away, and my whimsical thoughts began to wander again.

I looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked, "Lao Zhao, how can you be sure that our car is clean?" I heard that the ghost itself also has a magnetic field, which will cause the surrounding magnetic field to disturb, and we can take pictures of the ghost with our mobile phone, so why don't we take a picture of the back seat?"

"Ah, don't talk nonsense, what's going on. Lao Zhao said angrily, but looking at his expression, he seemed to want to confirm it.
