There is a rainbow in the heart of Fengyu in the rain

To be able to come to the mountain of Fengyukou so soon, thanks to Bill Porter, the author of "The Hollow Valley Orchid". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of June, I went to the Pure Industry Temple, and after meeting the Sky Master, I started to go up the mountain. Take the usual route: to the head of Huangyu Temple Village, turn back and go down the mountain from Fengde Temple. I went alone that day, and the route was so familiar, like our big playground.

In the process of leaving the Pure Industry Temple to climb the mountain, I have always had a little entanglement in my heart, and I am not very happy. On the way down the mountain, I met a student who was going down the mountain with a group (thanks to meeting him), and when I went down to the large slope next to Fengde Temple, I didn't expect to see a coiled blue and white snake, squirming quickly towards the grass on the side. Timid, I was so distraught at that moment......

I have climbed the mountains here for more than three years, and the first time I have encountered a snake, it is also the first time I have seen a snake in more than 20 years since I arrived in Xi'an.

When you get home, just think about climbing the mountain, and that scene will be repeated. It is precisely because of this that I don't want to go to Fengyu to climb the mountain at all. There were a few times when there was no good place to climb the mountain,

I'd rather stay at home than go there. That snake is going to affect my future life.

I'm not one to give in easily. In '09, we went to Fengyu for the first time to climb the mountain, and while cooking at Wat Pho, we burned our feet in the 'magical'. After a month, I will go to climb the mountain again, and I will come to this place. Although I was struggling at the time, I told myself that I had to face it, otherwise, this place would leave a shadow on my heart forever.

However, this time it was different, and I was able to overcome the difficulties I had created, and I couldn't control it (I really don't want to write about it). Why should I see it?

When I was trapped by it and couldn't get rid of it, I had the pleasure of reading "Hollow Valley Orchid". I didn't expect this book to be in love with it, because I am so familiar with many of the plots in the book, and I am re-following his path in many places.

He writes so well! Bill is a scholar who has studied Chinese culture deeply, and he is a writer with a pure soul.

What I didn't expect was that near the end of the book, I read this paragraph: "I lived in a Buddhist temple for two years, and every day I had to climb the hill behind the Buddhist temple. When I climbed the mountain, I memorized Wang Wei's poems. I love the mood they evoke. After each song, I would sit down and meditate on a grave. From there, looking out from the edge of the mountain, you can see the floating city of Taipei. One day, just as I was about to put my legs down, I spotted a patterned snake coiling right next to me – one of the deadliest poisonous snakes in the world. I stood up very slowly—and since then, for the rest of my stay at that temple, I have not memorized any of Wang Wei's poems. However, my interest in this person has always been maintained. Fifteen years later, when Stephen and I came to China in search of hermits, I remembered Wang Wei. ”

Ha ha...... When I saw this paragraph, I really laughed from the bottom of my heart and met my soulmate. I can relate to Bill's heart and understand it completely.

Since the day I read the book, my fear has decreased and my mood has improved. The feeling is too subtle.

I've watched "The Hollow Valley" three times, and every time I see it, I put down the book and smile heartily: Bill, who is so thoughtful, hasn't put it down for fifteen years. It seems that it is natural for me to give up climbing the mountain at the Pure Industry Temple.

Calm down and think again: Wouldn't it be a little too tormenting if I hadn't let go of it for fifteen years, like Bill? What's going on? It's really a green snake making people!

This week, the weather forecast is heavy rain on Saturdays and Sundays. If you can't go anywhere, then rest at home. If this passes, I will definitely brave the rain to go to Fengyukou to climb the mountain. Because it's a shallow mountain, and it's basically all on the beam, it's safe. If I don't go now, thinking about it will affect my mood.

However, however, in the midst of the yo!

I especially like the quote now, "Everything is unstable." ”

When I woke up in the morning, I turned my head to look out the window, and yo, I saw the clouds. Sunny day! Once again, weather forecasts are forecasts!

The family said, "What should I do? I'll send you to climb the mountain." However, let me tell you, the forecast is that there will be rain in Xi'an, not in Xi'an, and it is not certain in the mountains. You still go to Fengyukou, if it rains and come back, it is convenient. If you encounter a snake again, hit it with a cane, don't be afraid!"

The front made him right, high level. It's too easy to say later, it's not level.

"No, the thought of it makes me upset. "When I said this, I thought of Bill again, fifteen years?

Strange, for a moment I thought about it again: "Okay, I'll go to Fengyukou and call the little fat donkey." Otherwise, it's not worth it to be trapped for fifteen years. ”

Furthermore, I thought that the road I had climbed many times in the Pure Industry Temple was actually walked by Bill. He wrote so well that after reading what he wrote, I learned a lot about the Pure Industry Temple. The edge of the brick tower that I sat on many times turned out to be the relics of lawyer Daoxuan. Now that I think about it, when I was sitting on the edge of the tower and peeling apples, it was not strange to cut my fingers, which is disrespectful to the master. A must go today.

This time the little chubby donkey was so crisp (I never asked him to climb the mountain after I went to the meadow and injured him a year later). Later, I learned that he had read the previous article and knew that I had scared the snake. It's really 'father-son soldiers, scaring snakes and brothers.' ’

When I arrived at Fengyukou, I found that the surroundings were very cloudy, only here was a sunny day, and the sun was very dry. Maybe they all listened to the weather forecast, and went up from Fengde Temple, just my sister and brother. The little chubby donkey is in front, and I am in the back. I asked him to pick up his cane from side to side and hit the grass in front of him. This scares the snake away. And I stared at the bushes on both sides, and my heart was terrified.

The little chubby donkey kept saying, "Don't be afraid. ”

When I got to the big slope, I knew very well that it couldn't be in the same place the last time I saw it, but I subconsciously felt that it was still there. My heart was beating so hard that I could hear it, and the sweat all over my body dried in an instant. The little fat donkey walked over specially and stepped loudly, which conveyed to me that there was no need to be afraid.

That section seems to be a 'watershed', and when I cross it, I feel really relaxed.

But keeping an eye on the grass along the way is the theme of my climb this time, and no trace of wind or grass can escape my eyes. I'm tired of my eyes.

The weather was still sunny and hot. We had planned to descend from Baishiyu today. Now it's so hot that I just think of the Wat Pho Temple, and I go down from Qinghua Mountain.

I didn't expect that before I arrived at the Reclining Buddha Temple, the sky was cool, and this cool transmission was that it was raining in the mountains. The little fat donkey said: Second sister, you see that the surroundings are very cloudy, but we are the only sunny here.

We are blessed to be in such a good place. Good fate, good fate!

By the time we went to Wat Pho for dinner, it was cloudy. On such a cool day, we decided to go back to Huangyu Temple, because the little fat donkey had never been there.

When I got to the land beam, I saw that the fog was so thick that I couldn't see the surroundings. The visibility will not be ten meters, and I want him to overlook Huangyusi Village, which is a dream.

The fog that passed through me was so wet that I grabbed a handful of water. Thinking we had rain gear, we didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, before we decided to return, heavy rain came.

We hurried back and decided to go out of Qinghua Mountain.

The rain was too heavy. Before I returned to Wat Pho, I was wearing a poncho and my pants were almost completely wet. Seeing the muddy water flowing down the mountain like a stream, I was not worried about snakes or torrents, but about thunder.

Thanksgiving. The thunder was faint, it was far away, and all around us was the sound of rain, which was nice. Walking in the middle of the splash, I was so excited that I became happier the more I walked.

It's funny, when we were about to leave the mountain, we didn't go down.

At this time, I felt that the wet pants were really uncomfortable against the legs, the shoes were full of water, and this section was all loess slopes, and every time I lifted the feet with thick mud, it was very difficult. At this time, I remembered a passage from Bill: When I woke up in the morning, I found that it had rained all night on Guanyin Mountain, and I couldn't walk, and every step I took, ten catties of mud would stick to my shoes.

Ha ha. Empathy, empathy. A big part of what I like about Bill's books is that they are written in truth.

From Wat Pho down to Qinghua Mountain, the whole mountain is still the two of us.

Now that the weather is clear, it feels great to see that the heavy rain has not only washed the air, but also the green mountains and green grass.

What's more, the trek in the mountains in the heavy rain for more than three hours made the rainbow rise in my heart!

Because I am reminded of Bill's words: Each of us has made a journey from the beginning of our lives, and we will inevitably have gains and losses along the way, and the bags on our backs will be so heavy that we cannot see the direction ahead. In this long journey, some baggage can be let go of in a moment's thought, some may be carried for years, and some are so much that people can't part with it for the rest of their lives. But all of this is just an illusion of our own fabrication.
