Chapter 270: The Golden Dome

"This is the elephant pool, let's go in and see" walked and walked to the front of the elephant pool, Duanmu beckoned everyone to go in and take a look, the elephant pool is also a more famous tourist attraction in Mount Emei, the 38th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1699 AD) was rebuilt into a temple by the Zen master of Xingneng (the old man of Hongchuan). In the early years www.biquge.info of Qianlong (1736 AD), the monk renovated the road in front of the temple and the Luohan slope behind the temple, and rebuilt the small pond in front of the temple into six directions, and put a stone elephant on the side of the pool, in order to respond to the saying of the Bodhisattva washing the elephant. Legend has it that when the Bodhisattva rode the elephant by, the white elephant used to bathe in the pool, so it was renamed the elephant washing pool, also known as the smallpox temple. Existing Maitreya Palace, Daxiong Treasure Palace, Guanyin Hall and Tibetan Scripture Building, Keliao and so on.

The main hall is for the sitting statue of Fuxian and three sitting Buddha statues, the back of the hall is for the clay sculpture "three saints of the West", and the two sides of the hall are eighteen Arhats. The couplet of the palace gate is a praise for this place: "The wonderful appearance is solemn, the flowers and rain are mandal, the orange colors are colorful, and the emerald incense burns the treasure seal and the mist and the clouds." ”

"Look, there are a few monkeys there!!" Ling Xue said in surprise, pointing to the tree outside the courtyard wall, and Duanmu Ci and a few people followed her finger and found a few monkeys playing in the trees.

These monkeys are larger than the average zoo monkey, with gray-black hair and long beard-like hair on their cheeks and chin. The top and neck hair is brown, the tail is short, and the skin on the face is flesh-colored, looking like a miniature version of a gorilla.

"The monkey's scientific name is the Tibetan chieftain, and it is the largest of the Chinese macaque genus. The body length is 61-72 cm, the tail length is about 7 cm, and the weight is 12-18 kg. The head is large, and the facial skin is flesh-colored or grayish-black, and the adult female monkey has flesh-red facial skin. Adult males have long beard-like hairs on their cheeks and chin. The top and neck hair is brown, with black stiff hairs on the brow ridge, the back hair is dark brown, black near the base of the tail, and the juveniles are light brown. The tail is short. Monkeys are flesh-colored, white in juveniles, bright red in adults, and purple in old age with black spots or black. They are all social animals, mainly eating plants, and sometimes catching birds to eat," Duanmu Ci explained as he looked at the monkeys, which he happened to see in a book, so he recognized them at a glance.

"Okay, let's not disturb them, let's watch for a while and leave" Duanmu Ci quickly stopped the rat's move of wanting to throw the mud ball over, raised the camera and took a picture and said, this kid thinks about doing things all day long.

A few people looked at the wild monkey for a while before leaving the hall and moving forward, although a little tired, but everyone was very happy, sometimes they would rest in the small pavilion on the side of the road for a while, there was a passing old man carrying a burden to sell mineral water, Duanmu Ci also bought five bottles in one breath, although it was higher than the market price outside, but it was not easy for an old man to come out to do business, so they did not pursue it.

On the way, I also experienced a lot of places, such as Lei Dongping, the ancient name of the Thunder God Temple, which was built in the Han Dynasty. On the first floor, there is a statue of Maitreya, the shape is simple and solemn. There is a pavilion on the right side of the temple, the stone pi in front of the pavilion, and the seal book engraves the three words of "Thunder Cave Pavilion". There is a silent iron tablet erected on the side of Lei Dongping, and visitors are forbidden to make loud noises, otherwise the thunder and lightning will be shocked, and the wind and rain will be stormy. Legend has it that there are seventy-two holes under the rock, there are dragon gods and thunder gods to live, in case of drought, the villagers come here to ask for rain, throw dead pigs and dead dogs or women's clothes, pants, shoes and socks under the rock, often thunderstorms are alternate. Duanmu Ci also went in for a while, these two days to see so many temples for these Buddha statues almost have visual fatigue, so a few people walked a little out of the way, but the scenery on the side of the road is very good, the mountains and rivers are very eye-catching, it is better to see the temple than to see the scenery on the side of the road, surrounded by big trees, so the sun is not very spicy, so a few people simply walk slowly to enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, and when they see the temple, they go in and take a little stroll.

From Lei Dongping to the Receiving Palace, and then to Taiziping and other places, a few people are a little bit about the same, there are some more special things, a few people from the mountainside to here has been walking for almost two hours, because not in a hurry so slowly walk slowly, many tourists have walked from behind them to the front.

"The front should be the golden top, let's go up and take a look" Duanmu Ci pointed to the front and said, this is already on the top of the mountain, there are some clouds and mist around, I can't see the scenery below, the golden temple in front should be Huazang Temple.

The Golden Dome of Mount Emei is the place where the temples and scenic spots of Mount Emei are most concentrated, and it is the essence of Mount Emei. There is the world's tallest golden Buddha - the world's largest metal building complex, the golden hall, the silver hall, the bronze hall is majestic and the world's most magnificent natural viewing platform. Mount Emei is known for its foggy nature, with clouds and mist all year round. The clouds and mist that fill the mountains are ever-changing, decorating Mount Emei gracefully.

These are all information found on the Internet, and you have to go and see it yourself to find out, Duanmu Ci thought to himself, and took the group to go up. It's still a stone step, I don't know how many stone steps I've climbed, several people's feet are a little sore, and seeing that the end is just around the corner, everyone is going to the top with all their strength.

When I finally walked to the top of the stone steps, the first thing that caught my eye was the tall golden Buddha statue. This is the statue of Fuxian for ten years, I heard that it is a bronze gilt craft Buddha statue, 48 meters high, with a total weight of 660 tons. Duanmu Ci didn't go to look carefully, anyway, it was very majestic, today's weather was very good, and the Buddha statue of Fuxian looked golden and solemn under the sunlight.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look" Duanmu Ci smiled, picked up the camera in his hand and took a picture and said, leading everyone towards the Buddha statue, the closer you go, the more you can feel the tallness and majesty of this Buddha statue, how did these people make such a big guy, Duanmu Ci thought in doubt, and no longer bothered about this problem.

There is a grandstand over there, there are a lot of tourists taking pictures on it, Duanmu Ci also walked over there, this is a good place to see the sea of clouds, the wonders of the sea of clouds in Mount Emei are famous, today's weather is very good, the sun is shining and you can see far away.

"Wow, are we in the sky now?" said the mouse in amazement, below the stands is a cloud one after another, from near to far is connected to a whole sea of clouds, under the sunlight can clearly see a clump of white clouds, like a marshmallow, the cloud is under the feet, on the cloud, it feels as if he is in the sky, no wonder the mouse will say so.

Duanmu Ci was also really shocked, and quickly took out the camera to adjust various buttons and took several photos before putting down the camera, this place is so beautiful, it is simply not in vain that they have climbed the mountain for so long This hard work, several people looked at the distance and chatted in the distance, Duanmu Ci looked at the two girls, and found a few good angles to take a few good photos.
