Chapter Thirty-Nine: Momo, Let's Sing

On the morning of the first day of the new year, after breakfast, Dongfang Xiaofei and Wu Momo were ready to set off, they were going to visit the worldly master that Wu's mother said.

According to Wu's mother, this master is now practicing at the top of the Bodhisattva of Wutai Mountain in Wutai County, Xinzhou City, northeastern Shanxi Province.

Dongfang Xiaofei drove Wu Momo's Bora and set off.

On the Yanjing Expressway, all the way through Changping, Xuanhua to Shanxi Datong. When he arrived in Datong, Dongfang Xiaofei decided to stay here for a day, and by the way, he could visit the famous Yungang Grottoes. At noon, the two began their journey to visit the Yungang Grottoes. After a distance of about 20 kilometers, I came to Yungang Fort in the northwest of Datong, saw Wuzhou Mountain, and saw the world-famous Yungang Grottoes carved with the north cliff of this mountain.

The two of them began to browse from the grotto in the east, where the huge rocks were horizontal, and the stone carvings were numerous, which was a grand sight.

Cave 7 is beautiful and natural, there are 6 statues of heavenly beings, known as "Yungang Six Beauties"; Cave 8 is a five-headed and six-armed Kumara with a sacred bird, reflecting the combination of Eastern and Western art; Caves 9 to 13 are called Wuhua Caves, because in the Qing Dynasty, the clay was painted outside the stone statue, and the style is gorgeous. There are many small Buddha statues around the top floor of the three-story Buddhist shrine at the corner line, and it is the smallest Buddha statue in Yungang, only two centimeters high, also known as "pocket Buddha".

Cave 12 is called the Music Cave, the top is carved with many tricks and lottes, holding a variety of different musical instruments, the 13th Cave Maitreya Bodhisattva's right arm carved a wrestler, both produced a mechanical effect, and has a decorative effect, can be called a miracle in the history of world architecture.

In the middle of the 13th cave sits a cross-legged Maitreya Buddha statue, cross-legged Maitreya wrist below the carved a mechanical role of the arm wrestler, this is the only example of Yungang Grottoes. This arm-holding statue is 1.8 meters tall, with cascading clothes, flowing clothes and flying ribbons. The statue of the Seven Buddhas in the upper part of the arch of the south wall is also exquisitely carved and decorated, and the posture is elegant.

What impressed Dongfang Xiaofei the most was Cave 16 to Cave 20.

Caves 16 to 20 are known as the five caves of Tanyao, which were dug by the high monk Tan Yao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and have the legacy of Buddhism in Liangzhou and Qiuci, and are full of vigorous and simple style of the Western Regions. The rulers of the Northern Wei Dynasty believed that they could become Buddhas in the next life, and that heaven and earth would be honored for all eternity. The five caves of Tanyao represent the monarchs of the Northern Wei Dynasty, such as Emperor Daowu, Emperor Ming Yuan, Emperor Taiwu, Emperor Jingmu and Emperor Wencheng, and the caves also fully embody the royal style and dignity, and its modeling design is tall and majestic, and the momentum is extraordinary.

And the most magnificent of the "Tanyao Five Caves" that can represent the highest art of Yungang Grottoes is the open-air Buddha. The open-air Buddha is not the highest in the Yungang Grottoes, but it perfectly integrates the three cultural elements of India, Persia and China with its majestic posture, serene demeanor, mysterious smile, leisurely and calm attitude, on the basis of traditional Chinese carving art. This Buddha statue has a plump face, broad shoulders, majestic shape, and strong spirit, which is the representative work of Yungang Grottoes carving art, and can also be said to represent the peak of human art.

Looking at such a masterpiece, Dongfang Xiaofei felt a lot of emotion. A year ago, he was still the president and chairman of the Oriental Group, but now, he has changed from the president to an ordinary person, which is now the popular "Dick Silk". The change from this president to Dick Si is really fast!

Although he didn't know how the monk had carved these seemingly worthless stones on a whim, the hardships faced by Tan Yao at that time were a thousand or ten thousand times more difficult than his current situation, and what kind of courage and state of mind it took to complete such a masterpiece.

On the way back, the distant bell precipitated the hustle and bustle in Dongfang Xiaofei's heart, his expression was solemn and silent, perhaps the pilgrimage road itself was a process of spiritual purification.

The two found a hotel nearby to stay, after a cloud and rain, the two hugged each other and slept soundly!

The next day, continue your departure.

Drove through Hunyuan, Yingxian, Baimashi, Shahe and finally arrived at Wutai Mountain, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Wutai Mountain, the two of them found a lot of hotels in Taihuai Town, and the hostels were full, and only after inquiring did they know the reason. Over the years, the "New Year on Wutai Mountain" has been welcomed and favored by the Buddhist circles, tourism circles and other sectors of society at home and abroad, especially the tourists and believers in Yanjing, Guangdong, Fujian and other places have moved their families or groups to Wutai Mountain for the Spring Festival, and regarded Wutai Mountain as the most comfortable holiday paradise, so at the moment there are also the most tourists in Wutai Mountain. In the end, the two of them finally found a guest house in the innermost part of Taihuai Town, and the conditions were average, and there was only one room left. This Dongfang Xiaofei is still very happy, after all, it is a happy thing to have a beautiful woman to sleep with, after settling down, the two came to the town, ready to eat some local specialties. As soon as I inquired, there are really a lot of special delicacies in Wutai Mountain, such as sliced pork and fragrant mushrooms, stir-fried Taiwan mushrooms, chicken stewed Taiwan mushrooms, etc. In the end, the two of them had a hearty meal at a restaurant in town. Wu Momo specially ordered a home-cooked snack called Rotten Seeds, but the taste was particularly good. After eating, wander around the town for a while and then return to the guest house. The sound insulation effect of this guest house is really poor, as soon as the two of them returned to the room, they listened to the humming next door, as soon as they heard this sound, Wu Momo didn't know what was going on, but after listening carefully, Wu Momo's pretty face turned red all of a sudden. After having sex, she naturally knows what is going on next door. Dongfang Xiaofei quipped: "Momo, listen, sing next door." Wu Momo said: "That's not singing, that's ......" Wu Momo was embarrassed to say.

Dongfang Xiaofei put his arms around Wu Momo's slender waist, kissed his earlobe lightly, and shouted rudely: "Momo, let's sing too, let's see if we sing well or if they sing well." Wu Momo was also breathing, and scolded in a low voice: "If you want to sing, I won't sing." After saying that, he slipped into the bed.

This night, the singing continued, and at first it was Dongfang Xiaofei's solo. Later, it was Wu Momo's accompaniment, and then it was the chorus of two people......
