Chapter Seventy-One: Yunling
As long as there are major events in life, those mortals in the human world like to find a place to pray for blessings, so the temples, Taoist temples and various foreign temples in the human world play a similar role to insurance companies, and everyone goes to burn incense just like buying insurance.
There is something at home, there is no place to burn a stick of incense, it feels like there is something missing and nothing to do, as long as the incense is burned, it is as if I have bought insurance, and my heart is much more steady.
Burning incense in advance can not be delayed at all, although the old saying also says that if you don't burn incense at ordinary times, it is basically useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily.
But those who usually burn incense, those who hold their feet temporarily, each family also has their own experience, some burn for a few years, and they don't go if they have nothing to do, and some go every year, but because something happens, they don't have the time to go, all kinds, but they never affect the vigorous incense in the major prayer places.
Yunling Eighteen Temples is such a place where alternative insurance companies gather near Huadu, saying that it is eighteen temples, in fact, it is far more than eighteen temples, ancient temples, inheritance has thousands of years, young, there are new ones in the past two years, both Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.
This is also a unique phenomenon in the human world, where there are some such places not far from the main cities, which are too far away for people from the city to pass, too close and it seems that the Bodhisattva is too easy to speak, and it is too easy to pray for blessings, and the sense of ritual is much worse.
Yunling itself is a place where mountains and rivers intersect and the scenery is pleasant, coupled with these temples and Taoist temples settled in, the popularity will be vigorous, after the rich people of Huadu came to this Yunling to burn incense, there is also the custom of watching the mountains and enjoying the scenery, and gradually Yunling has become a scenic spot.
However, people's economic consciousness was too poor back then, and for thousands of years, they never thought of building a fence to collect tickets. However, in recent years, the economic consciousness of the human world has been unprecedentedly high, not to mention the beautiful mountains and rivers like Yunling, and an inconspicuous soil bun in the countryside has also built a scenic spot to generate income.
Therefore, a long wall was erected around Yunling, and barbed wire was erected in the key place, and the mountain gate where the original pilgrims entered the mountain was moved out for dozens of miles, and an extraordinary gate was built.
Then you have to take the battery car provided by the scenic spot, which is called protecting the environment, and after seventeen or eight stations, you can reach the original old mountain gate.
The seventeen or eight stations in front of the gate of Yunling Mountain are not foolish, unlike those dirt buns in the countryside, they can only make some artificial landscapes, make a few clay statues, lack of funds and even use paper to make up the numbers.
The main purpose of the scenic spot to do these things is to prolong the time of people's stay in the scenic spot, so that people feel that the ticket money is well spent, and some can also charge some small tickets.
The historical inheritance of Yunling is too deep, and there is no need for those things at all, after all, the ancients have left a lot of relics and legends there along the way.
For example, if there is a stop, it is called the place where the book rests, the legend is that in ancient times, a book came to the eighteen temples of Yunling every year to offer incense, and on the way, he would stop at the place where the book rested.
You come down and look carefully, and you can also find the stone stake where Shangshu tied the horse at that time, and there is a plaque standing on the side of the stone pile, which details the origin of the place where Shangshu rested.
There are tourists who like to explore the ancient times, so they take pictures here and take a photo, as if they have a connection with the ancient Shangshu.
There is also a station called the champion foot bathing pavilion, it is said that the ancient champion will come to the eighteen temples of Yunling to incense, walk here, coincide with a stream flowing down on the Yunling, the champions will build a pavilion by the stream, before going up the mountain, they have to go to the stream to wash their feet.
Now I am afraid of polluting the stream, and it is not allowed to wash my feet, but it seems that it is also very good to be able to take a picture with the place where the champions washed their feet in the past. And walking along the stream and taking a look at the idyllic houses on both sides is also a different feeling for people who have lived in big cities for a long time.
In short, these seventeen or eight stations are like the prologue before the movie is played, although it is a little lengthy, but it also gradually arouses the taste of tourists.
The immortals who have lived for a long time in the office have basically been to many times before the confiscation of tickets in the eighteen temples scenic spot of Yunling, after all, the office is in Huadu, the famous scenic spot of Huadu, as an immortal, has never been there, isn't it lonely and unheard?
But after the eighteen temples of Yunling sold tickets, the immortals had no desire to go, and everyone did not have a high salary, and they spent that unjust money to visit the mountains and view the scenery, and they didn't see it, right? It felt like a small ditch in front of the house, and the big guys liked to play in the water in the summer.
One day this small ditch suddenly turned into a swimming pool, playing in the water to charge, that season used to often go to the people designated is resolutely not to go again, after all, the past did not collect money now collect money, and then go as if a loss.
So everyone hasn't entered the Eighteen Temples of Yunling for many years, and at this time, Lu Xian took the public funds of the office to invite everyone to travel, and everyone was still very excited in their hearts, in the end, they hadn't been there for many years, and they didn't want it to be fake.
Wang Yao is even more so, others have finally played, but he hasn't even played.
Wang Yao originally planned to go back to Prosperity Lane after the meeting, Zhen Huai had not moved at all for so many days, which made him a little worried, but the office actually arranged a tour, and Wang Yao suppressed his worries about Zhen Huai.
When I returned to the room, I discussed with Hao Shuo, I must go to play, what to do with Hao Shuo is up to him, where is Hao Shuo willing to leave his father, and the noisy must also go to play, fortunately, Wang Yao gave him a thousand yuan and some left, and the ticket money is enough.
So the next morning, Wang Yao, Hua Huo, and Hao Shuo went to the Eighteen Temples of Yunling together. Although the Qunshan Hotel is built in Yunling, it is outside the wall, a little away from the gate of the scenic spot, but the hotel has a car to send guests over.
The three of them got up early in the morning, paid for it, and dragged Wang Yao to eat breakfast in the hotel together, and took the small bread of the hotel directly to the mountain gate with high interest.
When I arrived at the gate of the scenic spot, I got off the bus to buy tickets, but I was unexpectedly stopped by the Chinese camel.
It turned out that Hua Camel was sharp-eyed, and found that there was a notice posted at the ticket office, which said that regular monks were free to enter the mountain.
This is not in the hotel, obscure can rely on a bald head and a monk's robe to pretend to be a monk, the ticket inspector doesn't care what you dress, take out the monk's certificate will let you in, no certificate, you say what kind of virtuous monk you are, people and birds do not bird you.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yao had to go to the ticket office to buy a ticket for Hao Shuo, Hao Shuo kept a face, and did not give the money to Wang Yao, two hundred and eighty yuan, Wang Yao was distressed, but also saw Hao Shuo's slippery, that is to be a son is not ambiguous at all, and his father and mother are not half polite.
Speaking of which, in fact, there are still three thieves with weak hearts, and now cosplay is prevalent in the human world, and there are many people who pretend to be monks and come to Yunling Eighteen Temples to shoot videos and do live broadcasts.
As soon as you enter the gate, it is a bus in the scenic area, a ticket is 50 yuan one way, directly sent to the Jiming Temple Cableway Station, 90 yuan for both round-trips, no matter which station you get off at the way, no two prices.
Wang Yao and Hua Camel are both immortals, it doesn't matter if they walk a little, they didn't want to take the bus, but an old man on the side of the bus stopped the three of them and persuaded each other there, what is hard to go up the mountain, the road is far away, what is the best way to travel is to take the car up the mountain, walk down the mountain......
chattered for a long time, the entrance in order to facilitate the scenic bus to bring people, opened very small, Wang Yao and the three hesitated, and the people behind were all blocked.
"Why don't you just take the bus?"
"To sit or not to sit, not to sit out of the way?"
......
The people in the back were impatient and began to chirp and say strange things, but the old man was not in a hurry at all, and pretended to lead the three of them to take a few steps forward, but he still blocked the road to persuade Wang Yao a few, and the one who drove the battery car was not in a hurry, and sat in the driver's seat and concentrated on playing with his mobile phone.
"Forget it, just buy it, you can't afford to climb the mountain. Hua Camel couldn't stand it at first, and took the initiative to come to pay for it, Wang Yao was embarrassed when he saw it, anyway, he used obscure money, and he didn't feel distressed, so he hurriedly paid for three one-way tickets, and the three of them got on the battery car.
The people behind were hula-la-la, and the driver put on his mobile phone and drove the car out with a "woo", this road is basically a winding mountain road, and the road is wide and narrow.
From time to time, there are also battery cars coming down, and when the narrow road intersects in the mountains, the car does not slow down, and it passes with a hula, which causes the women and children on the two cars to exclaim loudly.
Wang Yao was an immortal, so he was naturally indifferent, but one of his hands reached over and squeezed his hand tightly.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid ......"
After three or five times of meeting the car, listening to the obscurity of the car to mutter a few times he is not afraid, Wang Yao can't help but secretly wonder, this battery car intersection is pretending to be thrilling, I am afraid it is also a hidden tourist project of the Eighteen Temples of Yunling, so that as soon as you enter the mountain, adrenaline will begin to secrete a lot.
Handed his hand to Xuan Shuo and squeezed it tightly, Wang Yao secretly discussed with Hua Camel, whether to get off the bus halfway or go directly to the ropeway station of Jiming Temple, Hua Camel originally claimed to be very familiar with the eighteen temples of Yunling, but when he really entered the mountain, he was a little confused.
I only feel that the eighteen temples of Yunling have changed too much, and it has been impossible to find the appearance in the original memory, how can there be this dozens of kilometers of asphalt road, and the trees on both sides of the road also seem to be planted later, in short, Hua Camel is also confused, but when it comes to the name of the place, Hua Camel still has a little impression.
"Jiming Temple is still early, that is the first regular temple of the eighteen temples of Yunling, the so-called sunset into the Zen Temple, Jiming morning mountain. In the past, people entered the mountain, they all stayed near the Jiming Temple, and they had to enter the mountain early the next morning...... "Hua Camel said the origin of the Jiming Temple.
"In that case, we are not in a hurry to get off the bus halfway, but we should go to Jiming Temple and make plans. Wang Yao heard Hua Camel say this, and he made up his mind, after all, when he arrived at Jiming Temple, he had just entered the range of the Eighteen Temples of Yunling, and it was not interesting to get off halfway.
What is the resting place of Shangshu and the Zhuangyuan Foot Bathing Pavilion, which sounds very interesting, but not all of them will be attached to the posterity? This distance is not short, and you have to gather at 12 o'clock at noon to take pictures, and you are afraid of delaying things after a long time on the road.
It is better to visit the regular Yunling Eighteen Temples first, if you still have leisure when you go down the mountain, it is not too late to visit these scenic spots. Thinking about it like this, Wang Yao felt that the old man at the entrance was not blindly doing business for the battery car, and what he said was still a little reasonable.
Wang Yao found that it seemed to be planned in advance, and every time he went to a relatively open place in the mountains, it was a stop for the scenic bus, just like those scenic spots had been discussed in advance and appeared there, so as to facilitate the scenic bus to stop and bring passengers.
The bus goes around on the mountain road, stops and goes, one will go uphill, one will go downhill, several female tourists have made motion sickness, and it seems to have passed thousands of mountains and rivers in general, so stunned to sit for about an hour or so of the scenic bus, everyone came to the terminal, Jiming Temple Cableway Station.
When I got off the bus, everyone in the car, including Wang Yao, all grew a breath of air, and I felt that the fare of 50 yuan was worth it.
When they got out of the car, the three of them were immediately startled by the scene in front of them, they were not surprised by some strange and magnificent scenery, but this place was crowded with people, as if all the mortals in the entire human world were crowded over, densely packed with a large area, it was simply confusing.
The three of them looked at the mountains and valleys, as if a dense forest of people had risen on the flat ground, and they were stunned for a while, but they were still obscure and clever, found a street sign and a map of the scenic spot, squeezed over and looked at it carefully, and squeezed back to tell Wang Yao that there were several forks in the road.
Directly in front of the fork is the ropeway station, on the left side of the ropeway station, there is no fork in the road is Jiming Temple, the fork to the right leads to the Temple of Wealth, and to the left is to the Heian Temple.
Hua Camel listened to the obscure words, and frowned vigorously, what is the God of Wealth Temple, Ping'an Temple? There were no such temples in the eighteen temples of Yunling in the past, and there were too many people in front of him, he looked at the surrounding terrain for a long time, and he didn't see a doorway, and he still couldn't connect with the memories of the past.
Wang Yao simply made the master, suggesting that everyone go to Jiming Temple first, after all, this temple is an ancient temple, one of the eighteen temples of Laoyunling, and then everyone will do it.
Hua Camel saw that this scenic spot had already changed greatly, and he didn't dare to fill the old qualifications anymore, so he agreed to Wang Yao, and the three of them crowded together in the crowd to move to Jiming Temple, Wang Yao wondered while walking, it's only Tuesday today, and it's not a holiday, where did so many people come from?
People are standing there densely, there are still people with cameras sneaking around in the crowd, some aunts are dressed in bright clothes looking for a place to scratch their heads, and many people are also quite uncivilized, stubbornly pestle in front of the camera, causing the aunts to drive them to the side from time to time.
