"Okay, everyone get out of the car, there is a big boss treat today, let's eat and have fun!"

Su Yun, dressed in beautiful sportswear, was the first to get off the bus, deliberately raised the hat in her hand, and automatically played the role of a tour guide.

"Okay, fight the local tyrant today!"

"Yes, eat, drink and be merry!"

"Boss, don't feel distressed!"

The group got out of the car, elated, Lu Fang and Director Wang looked at this group of energetic young people, and they seemed to be much younger and more interested.

Moqi was the last to get off the car, the weather is very good today, spring in April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is the most suitable for traveling. I came to my own people, the core veterans of the team, and I was very tired in the previous paragraph, so let's relax in the past two days.

"Okay, Sister Yun, where is the first stop?"

Su Yun was in charge of this trip, and said with a smile: "Of course it's the Longmen Grottoes, let's go!"

We took a taxi respectively, and arrived at the destination in a short time, Longmen Grottoes, one of the treasure houses of Chinese stone carving art, is now a world cultural heritage, located on Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan on both sides of the Yi River. Longmen Grottoes, Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, and Maijishan Grottoes are known as the four major grottoes in China.

Excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty during the period of Emperor Xiaowen, after the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty and other dynasties continued to build on a large scale for more than 400 years, the north and south are as long as 1 kilometer, there are 2,345 cave niches today, more than 100,000 statues, more than 2,800 inscriptions. Among them, the "Longmen Twenty Products" is the essence of the calligraphy Wei stele, and the "Yique Buddha Shrine Stele" written by Chu Suiliang is a model of the art of regular calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty.

Su Yun is worthy of being the host, she read the information in advance and is familiar with acting as a tour guide. The group walked and played, and they were very happy, Mo Qi followed Lu Fang and Wang Dao at the end, and the three of them chatted while walking, which was also a rare relaxation.

Lu Fang looked at the large and small Buddha statues in front of him that had gone through vicissitudes, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a vicissitudes of life, with a flick of a finger, for these Buddha statues, our people's lives are too short, like a flash in the pan, born and destroyed in an instant!"

"Huh, Brother Lu, you still have a lot of wisdom!"

Mo Qi quipped: "Why did you suddenly have such a philosophical feeling? Could it be that when you see the Great Buddha, you have been enlightened, you are instantly enlightened, and you are ready to take refuge in my Buddha?"

"you!" Lu Fang glared at Mo Qi and scolded with a smile: "It's just that I feel it, I don't have that kind of root and concentration! I just like magic all my life, and my biggest dream is to one day stand on a world-class stage, even if I perform once, I will be blinded by death!"

Mo Qi laughed and said: "Needless to say, it's so difficult, follow me in the future, and there will be that day soon!"

Lu Fang looked at the confident Mo Qi, and nodded involuntarily, yes, Mo Qi is a person who is born to create miracles, he is very fortunate to be able to join the group, follow him higher and higher, and sooner or later he can stand on the top stage and show the magic to the audience all over the world!

Wang Dao looked at the two young men and sighed: "I once heard a story, a long time ago, there was a village that had not rained for five years, and at this time a wise man came and told the villagers that unless they sent some young people to the mountains to collect a twin stone, and then come back to find the best stonemason, one of them was intercepted to make a stone Buddha, a temple was built, and the stone Buddha was enshrined in the temple to solve the village's difficulties."

The villagers are very religious, they sent twenty or thirty young adults to the mountains to collect twin stones, the so-called twin stones are a crack in the middle, and the stones on both sides are very symmetrical called twin stones.

They went to great lengths to find the twin stone, and they worked together to transport it to the village, and the stonemason bathed and changed his clothes and came to the stone, and when the stonemason saw the stone, he was stunned, he had dealt with the stone all his life, and even if he could understand the language of the stone, he had never seen such a spiritual twin stone.

The stonemason couldn't put it down, looking left and right, and finally he chose the stone on the right to carve the stone Buddha, because he felt that the stone on the right was more perfect, more spiritual, and almost without any flaws.

So a day passed, two days passed, a week passed, ten days passed, 20 days passed, and in the last week of the month, when the stonemasons were in a hurry to sculpt their faces, the stone cried out when they were chiseled down at that moment, and said Stonemason, I was in too much pain for more than 20 days, and I can't bear this pain, I beg you, slow down.

The stonemason nodded, so he began to carve again, and hit it twice, and the stone cried loudly, saying Stonemason, stop, don't get it today, you let me slow down. In this way, the stonemason looked at the stone that was about to become the stone Buddha and agreed to its request.

The next day, the stonemason came to the stone and just picked up the chisel and cried desperately, shouting, "Give up on me, I can't stand it, I tremble when I think about it, you let me go, I don't want to be a Buddha!"

The stonemason looked at the stone that was about to become a stone Buddha and held its head regretfully, walked to the stone on the left, he looked at the stone on the left and said, you are inferior to your brother in terms of spirituality, and you have many flaws in perfection, but I can only carve you now. Would you like to?

The stone on the left nodded desperately and said I do, I do, I don't want to be a Buddha, but if I can benefit the people of this village, I can help the people of this village, and I am willing to suffer any pain.

The stonemason understood, so the stonemason took a hammer and a chisel and chiseled down, and the stone trembled as well, and tears, blood, and sweat seeped out of the cracks in the stone with every chisel, and the powder that the stone shook off flew all over the sky. Ten days passed, twenty days passed, thirty days came, and a big Buddha was finally completed!

The villagers thanked the stonemason very gratefully, so they enshrined the stone Buddha on the Buddha platform and began to worship, saying that it was a coincidence, two days when the sky rained heavily, the stone Buddha was cured, so the people of the neighboring villages also came to worship the stone Buddha.

At this time, the villagers felt that the threshold of this temple was too high, so they wanted to make a few steps, they found some more stones, including the stone on the right, and found another stonemason in the village, and easily beat the stone to the right of the stone Buddha into steps and placed it on the outside of the temple.

This is where all the pilgrims step up the stone steps to worship the stone Buddha. In this way, a year has passed, and the stone Buddha has benefited the people of the neighboring villages and the village, and the stone steps have also been stepped on. There was a cold wind in the middle of the night, the stone steps and the stone Buddha talked, the stone steps to the stone Buddha said, the stone Buddha is not fair, I am stronger than you in terms of qualifications, I am stronger than you in terms of spirituality, I was selected first in terms of opportunity, but now you have become a stone Buddha, thousands of people worship, thousands of people worship, incense constantly, and I have become a step!

You see that my body is trampled on by them, stepping on my body, every day is so painful, the most excessive is that these people actually spit on my body, it's not fair!

After hearing this, Shi Buddha smiled faintly and said, "Brother, I have long known that you are stronger than me in terms of qualifications and spirituality, but have you ever thought about it? Some of you only took four knives and walked to your current post, and some of you took more than a dozen knives at most.

And me?

A thousand cuts!

Mo Qi and Lu Fang were stunned for a moment, and Wang Dao said with a straight face: "If you want to be noble in front of others, you must be guilty before others! Your dreams are so big that you have to spend a lifetime of time and energy to pursue them, first ask your own heart, are you really ready?"

Mo Qi looked at the stone Buddha in front of him, tasted the story just now, and realized Director Wang's painstaking efforts. Yes, every successful person is glamorous on the surface, but who can understand the hardships of their struggle?

Especially in the darkness before dawn, the first stone was almost a kick in the door, and I had insisted on it until the last moment or chose to give up. On the contrary, those second stones with average qualifications, but perseverance, persevered to the end and became the Buddhas worshiped by thousands of people!
