Generally, it is not easy to book a ticket for temporary changes, and in the end, I asked a few airlines, and only one airline has three empty seats left, ordinary class.

I asked Lu Jingzhong, "What are you going to Shanxi for?"

Lu Jingzhong said: "Worship the Buddha." ”

“…… Then why don't you let Vivi know?"

Lu Jingzhong said: "Women are trouble. ”

Me: "......"

I don't know if Lu Jingzhong is talking about me or Weiwei.

I always feel that in this kind of weather in December, it is not a good time to travel, and Lu Jingzhong also agrees very much, saying that it is indeed not a good time.

However, Lu Jingzhong still got off the plane in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province and bought a ticket to the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area.

"To Wutai Mountain?" I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jing nodded emphatically.

"How did you come up with the idea of going to Wutai Mountain?"

"Didn't I tell you that I was worshipping the Buddha," Lu Jingzhong said, "Wutai Mountain is the Manjushri Bodhisattva Dojo, and Manjushri represents wisdom." Haven't you seen that many parents of college entrance examination candidates will come to Wutai Mountain to worship their children? ”

Me: "......"

At the end of December, going to Wutai Mountain is the off-season in the off-season, because it is very cold, and going to the mountain is simply a sin.

Lu Jingzhong and I sat on the bus to the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area for more than three hours before the parking space was full.

I heard the owner say that this season is not satisfied, just for a few tourists to drive and even make enough fuel money, simply there is a mountaineering group to climb the mountain in winter in order to challenge themselves, I and Lu Jingzhong are all wet, so calculated, Lu Jingzhong and I are also challenging ourselves.

It was already more than six o'clock in the evening when I arrived at the scenic spot, the sky was dark, there was only one hotel soliciting business, and the weather was cold, I originally planned to go directly to the hotel, but Lu Jingzhong took me to the town to find a hotel, the conditions were not bad, I went to take a hot bath first when I entered the room, and then I felt warm.

At five or six o'clock the next morning, Lu Jingzhong woke me up from my sleep, and before I fully woke up, I directly covered me with a heavy cotton coat, which almost crushed me directly, but Lu Jingzhong helped me.

I rubbed my eyes and saw clearly that this was one of those very old military coats, green, with cotton underneath, very thick but very warm, and my father had one.

Looking up, Lu Jingzhong was already wearing this kind of military coat, and he was also wearing a cotton hat with ears, and the sides were upturned like two pig ears.

As I put it on, I asked, "Where did you get this coat?"

Lu Jingzhong buckled a cotton military hat in his hand on my head: "Where are so many words, let's go." ”

Outside, the sky was covered with a layer of fog, the low courtyard walls, the thin branches, looking at it from a distance, like the kind of ghost world seen on TV, jumped out of the white wall for a while, black and white impermanence.

My heart trembled, and I grabbed Lu Jingzhong's arm.

Lu Jingzhong turned around and glanced at me, and he knew, "You're so daring", while grabbing my palm and curling it into the cuff.

His hands were cold, and my hands weren't hot, but they were clutched together and soon warmed up.

Wutai Mountain is not high, unlike Mount Tai Huashan, which is "steep" and "strange" to climb, Wutai Mountain is relatively flat, and hundreds of temples are located in the mountains and spread out.

I thought that the first time I climbed the mountain was about winter, and I couldn't help but be happy when I wore this kind of military coat that weighed at least two pounds.

Lu Jingzhong said to me: "This is the Vulture Peak, on top is the Bodhisattva Peak, let's go to visit the Bodhisattva Peak first, and then go to the White Pagoda." ”

"Why is it called the Bodhisattva Peak?"

Lu Jingzhong said: "The name in the Manchu language means the place where Manjushri lives. ”

After walking along the road for a while, I came to an open area that looked like a commercial gathering place. Each shop sells souvenirs and local souvenirs.

Lu Jingzhong took me to look at the square, there are many Buddhist utensils shops in the back, next to the snack street, and then inside are rows of hotels.

At this time, the sky was already full of light, except for some small shops that were open day and night, the storefronts were open, and in the distance, there was a small stall selling ginger candy, and an old man was cutting sugar, so Lu Jingzhong bought a small bag for me to ward off the cold.

I peeled it off and gave it to Lu Jingzhong, who said, "I don't like to eat sugar." ”

I ate the local specialty, the big pot rice, which is a big pot of stewed chicken and pork ribs, and then added noodles and stir-fried, the taste was okay, but it was a little dry, and I drank two large bowls of soup.

When I was full, my whole body was warm, but the temperature on the mountain was still very low, and when the heat dissipated, it was still as cold as ice, and I felt a little stuffy in my nose.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that the sun came out and the sun shone brightly, and the fog gradually dispersed.

Ascending to the top of the Bodhisattva, in front of the water archway, I deliberately counted, there are a total of one hundred and eight steps, Lu Jingzhong said, according to the Buddhist saying, it is to trample on the one hundred and eight kinds of troubles in the world.

"Really?"

Lu Jing nodded again.

I glanced back at the one hundred and eight steps and said, "Then you are waiting for me here, I have to walk again, I was not serious about walking just now." ”

I wore a cotton coat bloated like a bear, and I ran down and walked up step by step, already sweating, like an electric kettle that would heat up when walking on the road.

Halfway through, I looked up at Lu Jingzhong standing at the top of the stairs, the fog was hazy, making his originally cold and hard edges and corners soft, he seemed to be in a daze, his eyes were not focused, he seemed to be looking at me, and seemed to be looking at the place behind me, I couldn't help but glance back, there was no one behind.

When there were still steps, Lu Jingzhong suddenly squatted down in front of me, then opened his arms and called me in a low voice: "Jiayin." ”

Lu Jingzhong's eyes are very magical, like magnets, and I am those fine iron filings.

I don't know what I think, but when I saw this posture of reaching out to hug me, I was very kind, and I jumped directly into Lu Jingzhong's arms and almost knocked him down.

Lu Jingzhong hugged my waist and suddenly leaned over and kissed me on the lips.

This action was without warning, my eyes widened in astonishment, the mist was thick, and Lu Jingzhong's eyes were very bright, as if they were the stars in the night sky.

It was just a dragonfly kiss that landed on my lips and moved away in an instant.

Later, I kept wondering if I had walked through the one hundred and eight steps again, and whether I was the only one who fell down the last step, only the last step, and the one hundred and seven kinds of troubles, only the last one.

And this step is just ...... Love parting.
