Chapter 12 Mountaineering
Early in the morning, Fang Cheng drove Xiao Jingyu and set off, running all the way in the direction of Tianyao Peak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At about 9:10 a.m., they arrived at the gravel plant under the dam of the Jiangwan Reservoir.
Parking the car at the door of the villager's house, Fang Cheng and the two traveled lightly along the winding and rugged mountain road.
Tianyao Peak is more than 1,400 meters above sea level, with a slope of about 35 degrees, which seems to be walking on flat ground for them.
As the mountains rise, the view becomes wider and wider, and at a glance, there is a gray field, and several flat-roofed houses are scattered between the valleys, and the metasequoia and maple forests in front of the door can be faintly seen.
"The air here is so good" Xiao Jingyu opened his hands and embraced the blue sky and white clouds.
"If you like it, you can live here in the future. ”
"Forget it, there is no shopping street, and there is no Internet ......" Xiao Jingyu decisively refused.
Fang Cheng shook his head: "For a real person powerhouse, a hundred miles in an instant, this little journey is nothing." ”
"I don't have the skills of yours, am I too stupid to have a clue now. Xiao Jingyu said with some distress, although she had successfully cultivated her True Qi with the help of Fang Cheng, she had not made any progress for many days.
"Cultivation is a time-consuming thing, and you really think that you can break through the realm once you retreat. Fang Cheng couldn't see her careful thoughts, so he comforted, "For the cultivators of my generation, a hundred years is just a snap of a finger. ”
"One Hundred Years...... I'm only twenty years old now, will I become an old woman, I can't do anything. Xiao Jingyu has accepted the fact that his qualifications are ordinary.
After all, Sun Shaoan is a living example of genius.
Fang Cheng smiled and didn't speak, because he knew that Xiao Jingyu was just complaining, in fact, she was still a very enterprising person.
Although the day of the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, her grades are getting better and better, and many people think that she is expected to be at Beijing University this year;
However, Xiao Jingyu's repetition is just to go to Manchester University, and probably everyone will not agree with her choice.
"How long are we left?" Xiao Jingyu looked up at the top of the mountain, and his whole person was a little dizzy.
"Half an hour" Fang Cheng walked in front, took her hand, and climbed all the way up along the mountain path paved with bluestone slabs.
The wind has been blowing, bringing a bit of coolness in early spring.
In March, the mountains are desolate, birds and beasts are scarce, and the broad-leaved forests have just grown buds, and they look quite lonely and bare.
"Let's rest" Fang Cheng found a mountain spring, which seemed to be the place where the people in the peak temple took water, and simply surrounded a small pool with granite.
"Well, I'm a little thirsty" Xiao Jingyu took the military kettle from the backpack on Fang Cheng's back.
Fang Cheng took the kettle from her hand, leaned over and took a full pot at the inlet of the waterhole before handing it back to her.
Xiao Jingyu poured a small mouthful into his mouth, moistened his throat and said, "Are there still people living on the mountain? What should I do in winter, it's so cold, and there is no air conditioning or anything." ”
"Well, there are believers stationed there, in fact, there is electricity, which is brought from the reservoir generator, but the power load is very small, and there is no way to use the water heater. ”
Once Fang Cheng also had a birthday banquet in the temple, what Wang Buddha's birthday, Guanyin Niangniang's birthday and the like.
But he's just making a scene, and he's not a believer.
"Alas, if I didn't have a mobile phone and a computer, I might not have survived for a week," Xiao Jingyu sighed.
"No wonder you secretly texted me when you were in class, mobile phone fan," Fang Cheng teased.
Xiao Jingyu smiled, "The class is too boring, the teacher can't control me anyway, do you understand?"
"I just want to find a quiet place to study, Manchester University is very good" Fang Cheng couldn't explain why he was so contrasting, so he had to pretend to be forced.
"Yes, for you, the world is as big as it can be. Xiao Jingyu thinks about it, Fang Cheng, a god of learning who has never forgotten, has no reason to sink into the sand during the college entrance examination.
It can only be said that he was too low-key before, if he hadn't become his girlfriend, Xiao Jingyu would probably never have known that Fang Cheng's world was so colorful.
Fang Cheng just looked at her quietly, and let Xiao Jingyu make up a latent drama on his own.
Chen Yanqing has always been his biggest secret, even if it has nothing to do with the overall situation today, Fang Cheng still hopes that all his friends and family will treat him as the same self he used to be.
"Okay, let's go up first" Fang Cheng had already smelled the smell of rice, and it seemed that the pilgrim on the mountain was already preparing to wash rice.
"Can you sit for another five minutes?" Xiao Jingyu patted his two long legs pitifully.
"Then do you want me to carry you up?"
"Okay, okay" Xiao Jingyu immediately locked his hands on his shoulders, and the whole person lay on Fang Cheng's back.
"Woo ......"
Xiao Jingyu only felt that the sky was spinning, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, and the huge weightlessness made her want to scream, but she felt the space around her squeeze her chest.
Fang Cheng disappeared in the next moment, and took Xiao Jingyu to the hillside in front of the temple.
"We're here," Fang Cheng tilted his head and whispered.
"Was it just time and space" Xiao Jingyu closed his eyes tightly, still not daring to look at the scenery around him.
"That's right, try a few more times and you'll get used to it" Fang Cheng dropped her legs to the ground and supported Xiao Jingyu, who was a little weak, with his right hand.
"I think it's better to walk" Xiao Jingyu has never liked extreme sports, and he has no interest in roller coasters and jumping.
"You're just a little weak, if your True Qi goes further, this bit of overload is nothing," Fang Cheng encouraged.
"But, it's really difficult......" Xiao Jingyu now has a headache when he looks at the cultivation cheats, human learning abilities are not the same, and a scholar does not mean that he is a cultivation genius.
"Then you should stay in the mountains for a few days, ancient cultivators, sleep in the open air, use the sky as a bed, and travel 100,000 miles to find your true self. ”
"That's what you're bringing me here for?" Xiao Jingyu was a little hindsighted.
"The view here is very good, and the more you see, the more you will understand. Fang Cheng Shi Ran walked in the direction of the gate.
Xiao Jingyu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and followed behind him without saying a word.
On the granite at the entrance of the temple, there is an old lady in her old age, holding a rice cooker in her hand and washing rice with the clear mountain spring.
"Where did the two pilgrims come from?"
"Yuchuan County" Fang Cheng bowed and saluted.
"Is it to offer incense or to make a vow?"
"I Have Come"
"That's the incense, enter the door and turn left" The old lady didn't raise her head.
Fang Cheng and Xiao Jingyu walked into the temple gate one after the other.
This mountain temple is not big, about 30 square meters, but it is divided into three rooms, on the left is for the painted pottery poured Guanyin Niangniang, on the right is the yellow clay sculpture of the local god Fourteen Niangniang, but the central hall is for the golden body (bronze plated statue) of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang.
Obviously, the Dharma bodies of these Niangniang Niang were all given by different believers, which means that the local believers are polytheistic pan-believers, otherwise several Niangniang are afraid that they will not be able to live together peacefully.
