Maijishan Grottoes;

It is full of secular human touch, full of strong breath of life, and full of artistic atmosphere;

The old rascal looked at these statues of gods and Buddhas: the Buddha was as kind and easy as the elders, while the King Kong was as simple as the mountain people, the Bodhisattva was handsome, and the smiling faces of the 'servants' and 'women' were full of innocence. There is no majesty, no mystery, every god and Buddha is gentle and amiable. They seemed to be tired of the hustle and bustle of the world and the offerings, so they gathered in the Monk's Hat Mountain at the western end of the Qinling Mountains and spent a thousand years of leisure and leisure.

The old rascal seems to have a special feeling, this indescribable, and behind this feeling there seems to be something more special, but this "thing" is even more indescribable.

Looking at the people nearby holding cameras or video cameras, talking and laughing, the old hooligan really wanted to stay alone, sit in front of these gods and Buddhas, and meditate, but unfortunately, the grotto has also been transformed into a tourist attraction, and the local government fǔ charges a "sightseeing fee", so that the old hooligan's wish cannot be realized.

After listening to the explanation of the tour guide who was calling at any time, Yang Damei's 'woman' saw the old hooligan standing alone here, staring at those Buddha statues, she squeezed through the crowd, walked to him, and said with a smile: "Husband, there is a beautiful story here, the story of the Buddha..."

This is a story about the emperor who began to 'chaos' and finally gave up for the sake of the country;

After hearing this, the old rascal said happily: "Emperor Wei Wen's initial 'chaos' abandonment of his wife Yi Fo's clan eventually led to the collapse of the country, which is also retribution." Hehe, little daughter-in-law, don't give up on your husband at the beginning! Otherwise, hehe..."

Yang Damei's 'female' heard him run away from the train again after a few words, "hummed", and said softly: "Ignore you, let's go, let's follow the big army in front, husband, don't keep looking at these Buddha statues in a daze, do you want to become a monk?"

"How can I give up!" the old rascal grinned, grabbing his short hair.

On the afternoon of the second day of the journey, I bid farewell to Maijishan and traveled northwest, and arrived at the small county town called "Gangu" for an hour. Less than five kilometers southwest of the city, there is a "big statue mountain" towering. The situation of this mountain is peculiar, and it is cut into a natural section along the ridge, and it is soaring into the sky.

Everyone stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at those from the root of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was actually five steps, one floor, ten steps and one pavilion, and the palace buildings were high one by one according to the cultivation of the mountain, and the layout was ingenious!

"There are so many Buddhist temples!" the fast-talking Lu Mei sighed beside the old rascal.

It's really a murder 'handover' volume, from the foot of the mountain to the top, passing through every temple, Wang Zixuan alone has to consume a volume of 'handover' volume, which makes Lu Mei feel unconvinced!

It's a pity, how dare she say it, everyone came out this time, and they were originally happy with the boss and the boss's wife!

The old rascal, although he saw that these Buddhist temples had been "commercialized", but every time he went to a temple, he would donate 10,000 yuan, and he thought that donating to monks or Taoist priests would be regarded as some small merits.

Every time the old rascal donates, the monks or Taoist priests next to the donation box will put incense and sing scriptures, among which of course there are several monks in the temple who are very solemn, so that the old rascal feels that 10,000 yuan is indeed a bit less.

In the "Great Elephant Mountain", everyone heard a tragic story, which is passed on:

In a nearby small village called "Tama Village", there is a young girl Li Yingxiu, who resisted her brother and sister-in-law to 'force' her to marry a rich man, and was tied up with twine and dragged into her brother's hands. At night, she escaped from the 'door' of the house, in order not to let her brother find out, she put the twine on her body while running, and fled to the 'hole' of the water curtain. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva rescued him, leaving the verse "Your sister has entered the immortal class". When the brother and sister-in-law chased them to the 'hole', they angrily 'inserted' the fire stick and broom in their hands on the ground, "If you really go with the fairy, let it sprout!" Sure enough, the fire stick and the broom sprouted into a tree.

Among the crowd, several 'women' and 'sex', even the highly educated Yang Fei'er and Wang Zixuan are convinced of this story, and the old rascal, of course, is noncommittal.

However, it can still be seen that the fire stick tree grows in the temple, and the branches of the tree stem are like fire sticks, and the broom tree is like a dragon coiled, the crown is like a broom, and the branches and leaves are fluttering in the breeze.

Next to this tree, there is also a pond called "'touching' the pool!" After hearing the tour guide's introduction, Brother Yang was busy encouraging the old sister in her ear: "Fei Fei, you go down to 'touch' a stone, and you can give birth to a boy instead of a 'girl' in the future!"

Yang Damei's 'girl' suddenly blushed, snorted, and ignored the eldest brother.

The old rascal, of course, did not notice the appearance of the little daughter-in-law at this time, he was interested in an elderly monk in the temple.

He casually asked the old monk what "Vajra does not destroy the body", "what is Alayya", and "What is meditation";

It's a pity that this kind of temple that has been developed commercially doesn't have many real practitioners who can relieve him.

He scratched his hair depressedly, and said in his heart, I really want to go to western Tibet, in the snowy mountains, and find a lonely temple, where there may be real cultivators far away from the world!

In the evening, everyone's convoy arrived at the county town called "Wushan", and after Wang Zixuan saw the introduction of Wushan, he must take the old hooligan to take her and Yang Fei'er to find the "Luminous Cup"!

Grape wine luminous cup, 'jade' drink pipa immediately urged; drunk lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times.

Wang Zixuan obviously thought of this poem!

Unfortunately, night had fallen, and the old rascal promised her that after dawn, she would find a guide and buy some glow-in-the-dark glasses, so that she could drink wine from them.

On the third day, of course, the luminous cup was quickly bought in the factory in the city, and a dozen were bought, a total of 12, which made Wang Zixuan very happy.

The convoy continued to move forward, and at noon, it arrived at the "Fenglin Pass" ferry on the bank of the Yellow River, where a boat of several tens of tons carried cars and passers-by.

It's a pity that the old hooligan is too "huge", four trips back and forth, before the convoy was transported to the opposite bank, during which the old hooligan wanted to use the water function of the RV, but was immediately stopped by everyone, many humanitarian, you can also try it on the lake, the Yellow River water is too urgent...

After crossing the Yellow River, I encountered many temples, Buddha statues, and grottoes along the way, allowing everyone to truly appreciate the prosperity of Buddhist culture in the Tang Dynasty.

The old hooligan and his party, of course, also met the Buddha to worship the Buddha, met the temple to worship the temple, along the way, the donated money amounted to 500,000 yuan, but fortunately, the old hooligan prepared 20 million cash for this trip.

In the afternoon, the convoy arrived at Ping'an Station, which is only 30 kilometers away from Ningxi City, and saw a red mountain like a Buddha from a distance, with the blue sky above its head, stepping on the water, and the north bank of Weili!

When the "White Horse Temple" here stopped for half an hour and continued to move forward, in the RV, Yang Damei's 'woman' sighed: "Husband, hehe, 500 boxes of 'handed-in' rolls, guess how much is used now?"

The old rascal himself didn't press the camera button, but he did see how everyone "saved the 'handover' roll" for him, and he smiled depressedly: "Guess, a little angel, a brother-in-law Yang, use the 'handover' roll, the fastest time, one roll a minute, I don't see it!"

Wang Zixuan suddenly smiled evilly: "Hmph, that's it, it's only a few dollars to 'hand' in, and 500 boxes are only 10,000 yuan, they see that you have donated so much to the Buddhist temple, will they save you from 'handing in' the volume? Now even the drivers of oil trucks and water trucks don't save their own cameras for you!"

"Haha, 'handing in' is trivial, but this thing takes up space, and it's better to be digital!" the old rascal laughed.

However, when the old rascal learned that he had not yet arrived in Ningxi, he used up more than 100 boxes of 'handed-in' rolls in more than two days, and shook his head helplessly.

When they arrived in Ningxi City, everyone began to replenish;

water wheel for water change;

Brother-in-law Yang took a few people to the vegetable market to eat fresh vegetables and 'meat';

Yang Fei'er and Wang Zixuan led a few bodyguards to buy clothes;

...

Because after this station, many places in front of me are vast and uninhabited, and then you will have to 'open' the picnic...

In the evening, the convoy was stationed on the shore of the dreamlike Qinghai Lake!

As the sun sets, the mighty surface of Qinghai Lake is sparkling with gold, and the 'women' of the convoy are wearing beautiful clothes, posing by the lake, and taking pictures;

The four drivers who accompanied them took the initiative to find stones for everyone and set up stone stoves, and several bodyguards began to set up tents for everyone;

The old rascal, of course, put on diving goggles and swimming pants, ready to go to the lake to catch "turtles"!

Qinghai Lake, known as "West Sea" in ancient times, also known as "Fresh Water" or "Fresh Sea", covers an area of 4,456 square kilometers, has the size of the land area of four Xiangjiang areas, the circumference around the lake is more than 360 kilometers, the lake surface is long from east to west, narrow from north to south, slightly elliptical. At first glance, it looks like a 'fat' poplar leaf. The average depth of the lake is about 19 meters, the maximum water depth is 28 meters, the water storage capacity is 105 billion cubic meters, and the elevation of the lake is 3,260 meters, which is higher than the two Dongyue Taishan. Due to the high terrain, the climate is very cool. Even in the middle of summer, the average daily temperature is only about 15 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal place to escape the heat.

Brother-in-law Yang saw that the old rascal had gone into the water, and he also jumped into the 'jade' test, but was stopped by his sister and said: "Brother, don't be reckless, I have seen the introduction, this water is too deep, you can dive for a long time, you can't, don't go down!"

Brother-in-law Yang said, "How deep can it be?"

Huo Bodyguard next to him smiled: "The boss can go down, we want to go down, we have to bring protective measures, but there is no swimming ring, the depth of these is at least 20 meters, Mr. Yang still dispels this idea, the boss is a freak, I heard that he can dive underwater for half an hour, we are not afraid of him going down, hehe, I hope to catch a few famous scaleless fish here, this kind of fish, it is said that it only grows 1 tael of 'meat' a year, I don't know if it is true or false." Hehe, if we catch it, we will have the smell of seafood at night, hehe, the lake water here is still salty!"

Brother-in-law Yang said: "Okay, let's fish, we just brought a few poles." ”

Huo Baobao also introduced: "In the past, the lake was sparsely populated, and the local Tibetan herdsmen did not have the habit of eating fish, and outsiders rarely fished here, so the fish were able to reproduce in large numbers and the density of fish was very large. Every fish season, 'riding a horse and wading in the water to trample on dead fish', but in recent years, the fishing is somewhat serious, and the provincial government will no longer close the fishing, and it is estimated that there will be no food in the future. ”

The old rascal who had already dived into the water suddenly felt as if he had returned to nature, and in the past two days, he had to bathe in the narrow shower room in the RV, how could he experience this kind of joy?

With intensive training, transformation, and a month-long swimming and diving training, the old rascal is very good at underwater skills at this time, plus he can "breathe limitedly" through the skin, he is underwater as if he is "like a fish in water"!

After a while, he scooped up a large shell and swam to the shore, and the people who were not busy gathered around him, chattering about the situation.

"No, the water is indeed a bit deep, almost 20 meters, to about 10 meters, there will be less underwater light, give, this big shell, 'touch' the black 'touch', see if there are any pearls in it, Lu Juan, bring me a headlamp, I want to take the lamp into the water!"

"Hehe, boss, bring a net bag down, see a fish, help us catch it!" Lu Mei said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, I've just caught a lot of fish!" said the old rascal.

Yang Damei's 'female' didn't forget to let him be careful, the old rascal waved his hand and said, "20 meters, trivial, I just tried it, and I don't feel uncomfortable!"

After a while, he took the net bag, put on his headlamp, and set off again;

Underwater, the old rascal saw a group of yellow and black 'colored' scaleless fish, densely swam over, he was overjoyed, opened the net bag, quickly fished out, and caught more than 20 at once, the fish that slipped through the net immediately dispersed, rushed around, and then densely gathered not far away;

In the net bag, about five pounds of fish kept moving, but how could they match the strength of the old rascal at this time? He saw that the net bag was almost full, so he swam to the surface again.

The people on the shore saw that on the lake dozens of meters away, the old hooligan appeared again, so they began to cheer again, although Yang Damei's 'girl' and Wang Zixuan were very confident in him, but they were inevitably a little worried, and after seeing him emerge, the stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground.

"Look, is this a fish?" said the old rascal as he came ashore with a bag of fish.

The crowd immediately shouted in surprise;

Huo Bodyguard said: "That's it, hehe, it's a little small, the big fish can grow to about 10 catties, but if you really want to grow one or two 'meat' a year, these fish have been around for a few years." ”

The old rascal said: "I saw a group of fish swimming densely over, covering the bag with a bag, and I caught so much!"

And the people began to flatter him again.

Yang Damei's 'daughter' and Wang Zixuan's hearts are full of pride and pride...

"Okay, bring me a big mesh bag, it must taste good, I'll catch more, hehe, there is an ice machine on the RV, we can chill it, it's still growing on the road, it's a natural and pollution-free fish!" said the old rascal.

Although the old rascal's luck would not be so good, he caught a school of fish in one go, but in half an hour, he was also caught seven or eight times, caught once, went ashore once, and finally 'gotten' more than fifty catties.

Yang Damei's 'woman' will never let her husband be so busy anymore, busy for "others".

pulled him and said: "Yifan, don't go down, it's getting dark, and the water is cold, you go to take a cold bath in the RV!"

When the old rascal came out of the back of the RV, he found that there were several more people in the camp, and I saw that these people kept looking at him;

After a while, I realized that it was a group of five or six people traveling, riding a bicycle from Ningxi City to Sunshine City, looking at these 20s to 40s years old travelers, the old hooligan walked forward and said with a smile: "You guys are good, thousands of miles away!"

An elderly traveler smiled and said, "Boss Li, our name is already thunderous, today we want to set up a tent next to your camp, I hope you agree!"

After speaking, several travelers stood up, or excited, or envious, or admired, or looked at the old rascal.

"Of course, let's dine together later, I really 'admire' you, ride over, 'very' patience and confidence!" the old rascal laughed.

This is a very hearty dinner compared to the outdoors: rice, roasted beef 'meat' with potatoes, braised yellow fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sausage with green peppers and onions, seaweed and green vegetable soup, plus unlimited drinks and a small amount of liquor.

Although there are not many dishes, but fortunately, they are all large portions, Huo bodyguard's comrade-in-arms Xiao Luo is the big chef, and two of the four drivers who accompanied him are in their 40s and small chefs, and the meal is very refreshing!

When the travelers who joined in temporarily heard that the ultimate goal of several people was to climb the 'jade' Everest, they were even more envious, but the huge consumption of climbing the 'jade' Everest was not something these travelers could afford.

The rich play game, the poor and the poor are happy!

When a young traveler envied everyone, a 40-year-old driver of the fuel truck laughed.

Obviously, for the 40-year-old driver, this experience will be unforgettable!
