I climbed along the mountain road for nearly an hour before I walked on the legendary Languan plank road, a two-foot-wide plank road, with mountains on one side and a cliff on the other side. In those days, I happened to catch a cold, climbed halfway up the mountain, and broke out in a sweat, feeling like I would fall down at any time. At this time, I suddenly remembered Han Yu's sentence: Where is the family of Yunheng Qinling, the snow hugs the blue pass, and the danger is about to jump on the paper.

When I came to a place, there was a huge rock on the edge of the cliff, and more than half of it was already sticking out of the cliff, and my brain instantly short-circuited, and I jumped up and sat on the edge of the rock.

: Damn, you're crazy, come back quickly, how dangerous!

Me: Okay, it's okay, life and death are fate, what are you afraid of?

In fact, many people have the illusion that when they stand on a high place and look down, they will have an urge to jump down.

After climbing for two hours, I finally arrived at the legendary Wuzhen Temple, a very small temple, entering the door is a Maitreya Buddha statue, and then there is the Dharma Protector, passing through a small open space, an incense burner in the middle, facing the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Great Day Buddha. There is a stone table on the side of the courtyard, and the only old monk in the temple sits on the side.

I walked over respectfully and clasped my hands together: Hello master.

The old monk spoke in a dialect I didn't understand, and I could only guess as I listened, and I understood the general meaning. The old monk is over the age of old, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyebrows are kind, his eyes are clear, as if he has seen through the red dust, and there is a fat big black cat lying on the side, squinting, I don't know how long it has been with the monk here. At that moment, I actually had the urge to become a monk, but if I think about it carefully, not to mention that my mother will beat me to death, I can't stand it just because I can't get close to women. I admit that I am a layman, I can't see through this red dust, and I don't want to see through this red dust. Red dust has its own red dust music, what do you say?

I bought a handful of incense from the old monk and prepared to enter the incense, since I have come here, I can't run in vain.

The old monk told me that when crossing the temple gate, it has to be a man on the left and a woman on the right, and when the incense is on, the more the fire point of the incense head is as strong as possible, which is also the so-called incense vigorous, and the incense must be raised above the head when the incense is worshipped, which is the so-called worship of the incense. I did it one by one according to the requirements, in fact, I don't believe in Buddhism, I believe in Taoism, but each has its own rules, since I came, I have to abide by other people's rules, respect others, and respect myself.

I knelt down, and suddenly thought of something very serious, oops, I forgot to ask for something good beforehand, this is embarrassing, what to ask for? Well, forget it, let's find a girlfriend first. I don't know if it's accurate, I looked up at the Buddha statue, Buddha, if you can hear it, let the grass people talk about a girlfriend, otherwise it's embarrassing to be so handsome and single.

After the incense, I looked around and saw a lot of blessing ribbons hanging in the temple. I thought, if I really want to be so accurate, what kind of school will I go to, and I will have nothing to ask the Buddha. If I really want to find a girlfriend, I'll come back and make a wish.

I looked at my Kuge: By the way, where is the divine spring you are talking about?

He ran to the old monk to inquire, said that it was in the backyard, the old monk handed us a water scoop, said that the water in it can be drunk directly, I walked to the backyard with Kuge, found a house with a height of one person, bowed his head and went in, inside is facing a dragon king statue, below is a pool, there is grass pond water inside, I scooped up half a scoop of water into the mouth, the taste is very strange, there is a trace of astringent taste, and the mineral water bought is not a taste, listen to the old monk said, there is a spring here, the water was very large in the early years, there was a year of drought, it lived the people of a nearby village, the villagers for the expression of awe, on the dragon king statue was erected, but later the water became smaller and smaller。

Me: Brother Ku, didn't we give incense to the Dragon King, and drank the water, isn't it good?

Him: Well, it makes sense, the hands are short, and the mouths are short.

I looked disdainful: Damn, you don't use this idiom anymore.

Later, after saying goodbye to the monk, we went online again, in fact, to be honest, this place is really beautiful. Winter may not be visible, but it really belongs to the type of paradise, a green forest, with all kinds of nice bird calls, and the night is very quiet and quiet, it is really a good place, but I definitely can't stay.

After walking a little further, there was a stone with the words toad fairy written on it. Strange to say, this stone, no matter from which angle, is alive like a toad, with eyes and a mouth, and a sign is erected on the side, on which is written an allusion to this stone.

Legend has it that in the early years, the Buddha preached here, and a toad heard it by chance, and finally practiced for thousands of years to finally achieve positive results, and the Tao flew into immortals.

That day we walked for a long time, climbed very high, and finally we were so hungry that we had to go home and go down the mountain.

The smog was particularly severe that winter, and it was the first time we learned the word haze, so the school canceled morning exercises and slept every day. Followed by the first winter vacation and New Year's Day party in school.

On that day, we gathered in the school cafeteria to celebrate the festival, sing and dance, and gather together.

Young, really good.

As the head of the propaganda department of the student union, Ku Ge naturally took the lead in participating, dancing ballroom dancing with a group of junior high school sisters. Actually, to be honest, my Kuge really rehearsed with his heart, and he danced well, but as soon as I saw a straight man dancing with a girl, I inexplicably poked at the point of laughter, and a group of people on the side looked at me like fools, and I couldn't help laughing. Kugo glared at me viciously on the stage, so he skipped a beat, and when I thought of his feet, I couldn't help but feel fear and cold sweat. I really can't bear Kugo's anger.

Wow, seriously, I now think the students are really good, free, carefree, stress-free, and don't have to worry about financial problems. The most important thing is that there are winter and summer vacations for those who are still stepping on horses, no, no, I can't think about it, and then I think about how to go to class tomorrow will be a problem.

Before the exam, our math teacher improvises on the key points. Lao Wang, in his fifties, wears thick glasses, has some gray hair, and his dark face is full of wrinkles. Lao Wang is very good, he never looks at anyone with colored glasses, and does not judge the quality of character by learning, he said, it is too one-sided to look at a student like that. As a person who was looked down upon by all the teachers, I was naturally full of emotion. Every year in the math exam, he is responsible for the questions, and then before the exam, he will give us a rough idea of the questions that may be asked. In his words, exams do not fully reflect a person's level, and the most clever teaching method is to teach students according to their aptitude, but no one can push down the mountain of reality. As far as I'm a player like Alpha, Beta, and Gama can't tell the difference, the exam is just a decoration for me, but I can't fail the course yet, because I have to pay money and make up the exam, and it's a trivial matter to pay the money. The make-up exam asked me to take the exam a hundred times, but I couldn't pass it, because I could at least copy it in the normal exam. Once you make up the exam, you will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell.

As a senior teacher, Lao Wang never thinks that learning is the only way out, and he is more enthusiastic about teaching us the principles of being a person and doing things than teaching. In his words, those who can come to this school are basically those who have no future in their studies, and it is better not to study than to pretend to learn.

Although this is not a good sound, each of us feels that he is right, and it can also be said that we know very well what we are like.

At that time, I was sitting in the first row in the middle, next to the lectern. When I was often in math class, when Lao Wang talked about his feelings, he would throw down his teaching book and put one on my stool, and at this time, I would take out a cigarette from my pocket and hand it to him and light it.

Every now and then, Lao Wang would look back at me helplessly: Like you, who are not good at studying, and have an average family background, what should you do when you leave school?

I smiled: it's okay, we're all the kind of people who mess around one day at a time. I can't think about the future, and I don't want to think about it, so I'll talk about it when the time comes.

Lao Wang sighed, took a puff of his cigarette, and looked at the sign at the cigarette holder: You see that you students, you smoke more high-end than me.

I smiled: we are all the kind of people who don't study well and are not self-motivated.

He: Never give up on yourself, in fact, compared to the children of secondary school, I am still more willing to talk to you, because you can understand and are willing to listen to me talk nonsense.

In fact, when I was a student, I seemed to prefer to listen to the teacher's reasoning and talk about things we had not seen or heard, rather than the boring equations, formulas and messy letters in the textbook. It's like mathematics, after studying it for more than ten years, you know alpha, beta, and gama, and you don't know what it's for.

In fact, the older I get, the more I feel that school is really happy, at that time we had no WeChat, no Weibo, no circle of friends, no wifi, and we were very happy. Every night, I use a straight board or skateboard mobile phone with limited functions to chat with my favorite female classmates for a night, QQ, and then fall asleep in those beautiful non-mainstream songs, so happy, so simple. It's just that now, the communication software is more advanced, but the distance between people is getting farther and farther away, hundreds of friends have been added to WeChat, and I can't say a word for a hundred years, occasionally ringing one, or sharing a messy link, and then politely go back, chat awkwardly for a few minutes, and then use a sentence, busy, idle chat, as a conclusion, I don't know what the next chat will be. We were all busy with our own things, meeting new friends, and gradually cutting off contact with the most intimate and simple classmates in the past.

We are all busy with our own things, and we don't know who to talk to about our worries, and we are getting farther and farther away from our loved ones, and then we are smiling in the face of some irrelevant people, living so hypocritically, hypocritical that we gradually forget our original appearance.

The farther and farther we go, the farther and farther away from our original ideals, and the purest heart. It turns out that all our ideals and beliefs faded away in those green years, then disappeared, and finally died.
