Chapter 20: The Silly Warrior Monk

Zhuxian Town is located in the southwest of Kaifeng City, Henan Province, which is a famous town, and Yuewang Temple is there.

Because it is adjacent to Kaifeng, it has been a land and water transportation artery and a commercial port since the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was the only water and land transshipment terminal in Kaifeng in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the era of Zhikong, Zhuxian Town was extremely prosperous.

And Zhuxian Town is more than 200 miles away from Shaolin Temple. After Zhikong was driven down the mountain, he first wandered for a while, and only after seeing the prosperity of Kaifeng and the wealth of Zhuxian Town did he set up a fantasy method of exchanging fame for stealing. That's why that's where he first started.

Chongqing is more than 1,300 kilometers away from Zhuxian Town, and Wu Wending is ready to drive there, because considering that the road will pass through Hubei, it will only take more than 100 kilometers to go to the second location, Wudang Mountain. And when you get to the place, you probably have to go around.

So before the holiday, he went home to find Xiao Zhao to accompany him to get his driver's license, and then told his father that he was going to Zhuxian Town to see the traditional prints there, and took the train with a few classmates, and finally told Aunt Qian, who had been asking him, that he had talked to Sun Qin, and there was no such thing, so there was no need to think about it.

Back at school, after tidying up a little things, I set off with Yangba and Tashi. Just before leaving, I called Tao Yaling to the girl's dormitory, saying that he was going to Henan on National Day, and if there was an overdue date, help him report to the teacher. Tao Yaling's simple answer is understood.

This side set off overnight on the 30th, and he and Tashi took turns to drive, and it was already the early morning of the 2nd when they arrived at Zhuxian Town.

I just found a roadside to stop, the sky was already a little cloudy, the fog was filled, it was a good weather.

The last section is set by Wu Wending, the Patrol belongs to the more hard-core off-road, the shock absorption is not too soft, and it is still easy to get tired after such a succession. He was in good spirits, and it should be said that he was better all the way, and he only rotated to drive just to be on the safe side. He could feel a sense of urgency and nervousness growing as he got closer.

Jumped out of the car, stretched two lazy waists, and Yangba, who had eyesight, also jumped down and wiped his face with a wet towel with a water bottle. Tashi was still asleep in the back.

Wu Wending looked around, this is the general northern suburbs of the countryside, a flat river, there is no sense of ups and downs in Sichuan and Chongqing. There are not many trees, and the ones along the road are relatively sparse. There is a bit of a gray feeling everywhere, so that he who has taken care of the green is really a little unaccustomed.

Just now, I had already passed the county seat, saw the Yuewang Temple, and drove more than ten kilometers in the direction of the temple gate. That's probably the distance I remember.

In my memory, Zhikong succeeded for the first time, and I was still very apprehensive in my heart, and I ran for more than 20 miles in one breath before stopping, and then I came here to bury after committing crimes in Zhuxian Town and Kaifeng. So it's quite familiar to find the general direction.

However, hundreds of years have passed, and the geomorphological features have inevitably changed greatly. The lock can be completely devoid of the shadow of the year. Where to start?

Let's go around, Tashi and Yangba can't help in this matter, so they have to find a hostel on the side of the provincial road to live in, and drive around by themselves. Fortunately, the area is not too big.

After two days of wandering, Wu Wending felt that his previous expectations were too simple. Over the past 600 years, it has undergone many major wars, land reform, development, and reclamation. It has already changed dramatically, how can you find a ruin with a little memory?

Yes, it was a ruin, and I was looking for a dilapidated house on the edge of a village that had not been inhabited for a long time, and there was a dry well in the courtyard, and I put things into the well every time, until the last time I decided to transfer the city of work, I tore down a wall and buried it. The village called Lijiazhuang, in just two days, Wu Wending passed through three familiar ones, one of which was named after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There is a Li character in the place name, and Lijiazhuang does not have it at all!

It wasn't until the third day that there was a breakthrough in the clueless wandering, and when I passed through a village called Xili Village, I suddenly felt a familiar feeling. Get out of the car far away and walk in slowly.

The village is not too big, but there are many people, and it is already afternoon, and many farmers are resting and preparing dinner. I saw a stranger walk in, with a lot of eyes, and two children followed up and looked at it.

There are probably only thirty or forty households, and there is no ruin, but Wu Wending, who has a growing sense of familiarity in his mind, knows that he should have found the right place.

The village is not what I remember back then, but the direction should be in the north, walk past, the houses on both sides are basically blue bricks and black tiles, and they will not be old buildings until they turn the corner.

This is the drying field on the Zhuangzi, the cement is paved, the area is a lot, and then it will be out of the village, and there is a house in the west that does not look like an old building, but there are always places where the building does not look right.

Wu Wending squatted on the edge of the drying field, lit a cigarette, and watched slowly.

After the cigarette butts were burned, Wu Wending found out that part of the house was not later. If you look closely, this house was built by borrowing a shadow wall from the largest courtyard on the original Zhuangzi.

Walking through the walls that had been pitted by the years, I could vaguely see the original eaves line on the shadow wall, which was covered with some bricks to form the east wall of the house. That's right, it's this wall, you've seen it......

At this moment, a local accent sounded: "You have a vision, this is really an old wall." ”

Wu Wending turned his head to see that a farmer was wiping his sweat with a towel around the corner, probably just returning from the field.

Wu Wending walked over with a smile and handed a cigarette: "I'm a student at Henan Institute of Architecture, and I'll take advantage of the vacation to come out and see if there are any interesting old houses." ”

The man took the cigarette: "No, just this paragraph, before the liberation of the old Zhuangzi was almost pushed, you see that it was the eye of the machine gun." A village has been blown up to this point, the wall has not fallen, it is not complete, it is old here, the house was repaired in eight years, this side is all messy, build it on the shoulder, save some money. ”

Wu Wen fixed his head: "It's good to be able to see the wall." ”

I can't dig it, if I haven't been lucky enough to dig it up, calculate the direction, and it's under this drying field. It's impossible to dig it. Only later to create conditions to try your luck.

Say hello to the locals, slowly rock out, and go around in circles before getting in the car and leaving.

I went to the hostel and called Tashi and Yangba, drove to the edge of the village, gave them detailed directions and locations, drew mountains and gave them a hand-drawn map, and then left overnight to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple.

It's easy to come to Shaolin Temple, park the car and ask the two to wait for him at the bottom of the mountain, although the sky has been darkened, he ran to the mountain gate alone

The more I run, the more relaxed I feel, and going up Mt. Shomuro is like coming home, and there has really been no structural change in hundreds of years. Tianwang Palace, Six Ancestors Palace, Naluo Palace, Fuxian Palace...... It appeared in his mind like a movie, and a huge force pressed his chest from the outside in, making him feel breathless, and he felt like he was going to press his heart out of his chest. Uncontrollable tears welled up in his eyes until he ran outside the Mahavira Hall.

Looking up at the main hall, some of the side halls are no longer there, and the weather-dappled stone workshop looked at him with surprise, as if he recognized this little novice more than 600 years ago, and shook the thousand-year-old tree to greet him happily.

Stretching out his hand and touching those centuries-old stones, the lines on his fingers seemed to be gently scraped on the sharp blade, and he slowly knelt down, tears sprinkled on the stone slab in front of him, and the hot ground during the day absorbed that little bit of water in an instant.

Wu Wending felt a heart-wrenching sentimentality from his heart, remembering the figure he had seen at the beginning and had been walking around opposite the old lama, and he felt that he was stiff for a moment.

Touching the stone bricks on the wall, bracing on the corner, rising up, turning over the main hall, jumping on the top of the temple, jumping quickly, beating with joy, quietly, Wu Wending completely opened his heart, handed over to the body, felt himself like a civet cat, like a fallen leaf, like an elk, and finally pounced into the tower like a tiger, and fell asleep under an ancient tower. I slept soundly, as if I made a mistake hundreds of years ago and was scolded by the division commander and then hid and secretly fell asleep.

I didn't think about what to do when I came back, I just wanted to come back, and when I came back, I just curled up and slept under Tallinn, this is the sky, the stupid warrior monk who wants to come back even if he doesn't hesitate to self-destruct for decades, and the stupid warrior monk who has been obsessed for hundreds of years and wants to come back.
