Chapter 86: Stone Mountain, Stone Temple, Stone Temple

Sheep and horses looking for humanity,

Yanmen Gate is outside the house.

In the past, I heard that there was Yunzhong County,

There are no clouds and no sand today.

Tang Dynasty Shi Beiwu's "Yunzhong Road", although the poem Yunzhong County has nowhere to follow, but Yanyun and Yunzhou in the long river of history, once known as the land in the clouds, Yanzhou has been an important town in the north since ancient times, is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight, and it is also the capital of many emperors and here, and the Tuoba clan also laid the foundation of the Northern Wei Dynasty from this place. It is known as the "key to the north". Yanzhou is rich in coal resources, coal production and export ranks first in China, Yunshan County and even Yanzhou have always been under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou in a long history, and the two places are very close to each other, and the transportation industry is convenient.

Jiang Er, Li Jiajie and Luo Boer got on the bus to Yanzhou early, arrived in Yanzhou before nine o'clock, and then transferred to the bus, and went directly to Yanzhou Dongguan, Dongguan has a wholesale market, whether it is household appliances, or daily necessities, there are wholesalers here, the three of them are ready to explore the market and brand quality of the audio, turn around a morning, a lot of eyes, the price is basically the same, the whole set down, all have to be three or five thousand away, several people in total, or to Luo Boer's art school to ask.

The Academy of Art is not far from Dongguan, at the entrance of Taiping Street in the east of the city, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk to it. When he arrived at Yanzhou Art School, Luo Boer found his former head teacher Liu Aixiang and recounted Jiang Er's establishment of an art troupe and his part-time job in the art troupe. Then he asked Liu Aixiang if she could help when she was studying at school, and asked the school that it was cheap to sell it to Jiang Er.

Liu Aixiang has made a lot of students, and he is also a famous local actor, he has taken his students more than once, and has been on the stage of big occasions, especially Luo Boer, when Luo Boer graduated, Liu Aixiang had the idea of introducing Luo Boer to the Yanzhou local theater troupe, but later because of Luo Boer's household registration problems, and local theater troupes, system problems, in the end did not stay, I felt guilty in my heart, I felt that the students I taught, I felt sorry that there was no good future, I also knew that the warehouse did have a few sets of equipment, but I could help ask, whether it was successful or not, it could also make up for the guilt of Luo Boer in my heart, and I agreed at the moment。

Jiang Er saw that it was already noon, so he discussed with Liu Aixiang whether it would be more convenient to invite the school manager to have a meal at noon, and Liu Aixiang also agreed.

During the meal, Jiang Er drank the vice principal and the teaching director invited by Liu Aixiang very happily, and the dinner table was finalized, which could be handled at a three-fold discount according to the market price, and a set of eighty percent of the new equipment was transferred to Jiang Er for 1,000 yuan, both parties were happy, and returned to the school after eating, led by the director of the teaching office, and found the equipment, Li Jiajie adjusted the equipment, Luo Boer audition, both parties were satisfied, Jiang Er paid the money at the moment, and went to Dongguan to find logistics, packed the equipment, and returned to Yunshan happily.

It was already afternoon when I returned to Yunshan, but I didn't expect Jia Bangguo to come to Yunshan in the morning, seeing that Jiang Er was not there, I found a hotel to live in, and Zhang Yuanyuan made an appointment with Jiang Er tomorrow to go to Stone Mountain to investigate the new construction of the old temple

At the banquet, Jiang Er, Zhang Yuanyuan, and Jia Bangguo agreed on tomorrow's arrangements, Jiang Er finalized the specific matters of building his house with Jia Bangguo, Zhang Yuanyuan happily took out 10,000 cash, asked Jiang Er to make an IOU, handed it to Jiang Er, and said that it was not enough to speak. Jiang Er sighed in his heart, all he met were noble .......

The stone mountain is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain, there is a dilapidated stone temple where the two monks live in the front mountain, there is an empty stone view in the back mountain, the middle of the front and back mountain is a ditch, there is a spring in the ditch, this spring water is not dry all the year round, catch up with the solar terms, the people of Yunshan want to come to this spring water from afar to line up to receive water, saying that this water can cure all kinds of diseases.

Stone Mountain's temple a look, from the nearest village also has more than ten miles of road, at first there was only a narrow road, later someone opened a stone factory in the middle of the mountain, opened a mountain road that allowed a car to go forward, but Yunshan is strict in resource development management, protecting this mountain and water, the stone factory was closed, but with this mountain road, later people went to Stone Mountain to catch the temple fair a lot more conveniently.

Zhang Yuanyuan's secretary drove the car, Zhang Yuanyuan sat in the co-pilot, and told Jiang Er, Jia Bangguo and Bai Niangniang, hearsay, about the stone mountain, a temple and a view, first said that in the old days, the sheep herders put the bricks on the sheep's backs to herd the sheep, each sheep carried two bricks, rushed to a temple and a view, and unloaded the bricks, and built a temple and a temple in the bricks that had been accumulated over the years.

He also talked about the sacredness of a temple and a view, starting with the sacredness of the stone temple.

There is an old monk and a little monk living in the stone temple, far away from the village, every winter, the old monk who plays slippery will go down the mountain to live, leave the little monk alone on the mountain to take care of the stone temple, and do not leave food and drink for the winter, and firewood for heating. But in the spring, the old monk went up the mountain and found that the little monk had a ruddy complexion and no feeling of hunger, and the old monk asked the little monk curiously: "How did you come this winter?"

The little monk replied innocently: "When you are hungry, you will eat your nest, and when it is cold, you will burn firewood." ”

The old monk knew that the family background in the temple was where the nest head and firewood came from, so he asked the little monk to make it clear, and the little monk took the old monk down the ravine, looked for duck pebbles and said, "Master, look, this is the nest head." He took the old monk back to the temple, walked to the stove, stretched out his legs and said to the old monk, "Master, look, this is firewood." ”

As he spoke, he put the pot on the stove, put the duck pebbles in the pot, added water, put the calf into the stove pit, the flint ignited the calf, the calf burned like this, and after a while the water in the pot boiled, the little monk pulled the leg back, extinguished the fire, opened the pot, took out the duck pebbles in the pot, put it in his mouth and bitten, the duck pebbles were soft and delicious, really like the nest head.

The old monk was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, knowing that he had met the true Bodhisattva, and when he got up, the little monk had already stepped on the auspicious clouds and went up to the sky.

The story of the stone temple was strange to Jiang Er, and then Zhang Yuanyuan told the story of the stone view, originally Jiang Er and the others thought that the story of this Taoist priest was also a strange legend, but Zhang Yuanyuan told a real story.

Or in the period of the Anti-Japanese War, the specific years and months are not recorded, are all the common people word of mouth, the Japanese soldiers invaded a large area of land in Yanbei, put it elsewhere, may be ten miles and a fort, the cage is blocked, but the terrain of Yanbei, everywhere is mountains, stacked on top of each other, the Japanese devils can only occupy the mountain, small Japan must send geologists to explore resources everywhere they go, and also draw a detailed map, it is said that on that map, not only how many resources are marked, how many townships, how many villages, how many populations, and even how many livestock, how many poultry, must be written clearly, clearly。

The geological soldiers of this little Japanese devil came to Yunshan County, explored everywhere, and there was nothing to do anywhere, but when they arrived at Stone Mountain, they disappeared inexplicably, and went back and forth for two or three waves, and more than ten people were missing.

The devil was so angry that he finally posted a notice saying that he and the guerrillas would surrender themselves, otherwise they would slaughter the villages one by one, and of course no one would turn themselves in, so the little devils gathered all the villagers of a village at the foot of the stone mountain into a square and posted a notice saying that no one would surrender before sunset, so they would kill the whole village. The audience of hundreds of people crowded in the square, seeing that the sun was about to set, the sound of crying and wiping tears spread far away, at this time, a sloppy Taoist came out and turned himself in, saying that he killed the little devil who was looking for the mountain.

The little devil surrounded the sloppy Taoist, looked at a person, said nothing to believe, and finally the sloppy Taoist took the Japanese devil into the mountain, came to his own stone view, and asked the Japanese soldiers to beat the clay people placed in the grottoes one by one, and the result was that each clay man was wrapped in the corpse of a Japanese devil, and the angry little devil shot the sloppy Taoist man into a hornet's nest on the spot, and cut off his head, hanging at the door of the stone temple, warning the people not to collect the corpse, and also sent a puppet army to guard. But overnight, the head and body of the sloppy Taoist disappeared, and those puppet soldiers saw the Japanese devil and said that they saw the head and corpse turn into a puff of smoke and floated away, becoming sacred. Of course, the Japanese soldiers did not believe these nonsense, but they searched the mountains and found the corpses of sloppy Taoists. That's the end of it. Since then, the stone view has become an empty view, and no one cares for it anymore.

In fact, the corpse of the sloppy Taoist was hidden by the kind-hearted puppet army, the stone view of the Sanqing Palace, the statue of Taishang Laojun was knocked open from the base, and the sloppy Taoist was hidden, and it was not until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that someone in the know invited the sloppy Taoist out and buried him.

The story told by Zhang Yuanyuan moved the feelings, and Jiang Er and the others were also very moved when they heard it, and said that they would go to the stone temple for a while, and they must pay respects to this sloppy Taoist. As soon as the car drove along the winding mountain road to the closed stone factory, it could not go any further, but it was already possible to see the stone temple in the distance, Zhang Yuanyuan said that the stone temple was behind the stone temple, so everyone could only walk up the mountain. After walking for more than half an hour, I arrived at the stone temple.

The stone temple lives a second monk (nun) named Hongzhi, Zhang Yuanyuan has been here several times, every time he comes to the incense to give alms, he also talked to Master Hongzhi about the reconstruction of the stone temple, introduced that this time is to bring people to a special field trip, ready to start construction this year, Master Hongzhi listened, smiled happily, praised Zhang Yuanyuan is immeasurable merit, and has a rich future in the future. Zhang Yuanyuan sighed in his heart, if he hadn't agreed to rebuild this stone temple, how could he have caused the disaster of "hindering the gods", and now he can only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, hoping to end this matter soon.
