Wu Zhong still can't figure out how he changed from a contemporary aspiring young man who had just graduated to a Taoist priest in an instant, or in a tattered Taoist temple, and he was also the only Taoist priest in this Taoist temple. No, it was the only two half a year ago.

Half a year ago, Wu Zhong was invited by a friend to learn from the West and start a graduation trip. It is said to be a graduation trip, but in fact, it is to wander around Jitai City and climb a mountain by the way.

Wu Zhong has not seen his parents since he can remember, and grew up in a welfare home. He didn't know if his parents had abandoned him or if he had an accident, but he hadn't heard the slightest bit about them, and even the name was given by the director of the orphanage. Fortunately, he has been sensible since he was a child, has been studying hard, and with government funding, he was finally admitted to university. During college, he worked and studied, plus scholarships, and saved some money before graduation, so he agreed to the invitation of his friend Xu Yang to start his first trip in his life.

Mount Tai is also famous in the country, and there are even ancient literati and ink writers who use this poetry as a counterpoint, and even the feat of the emperor sealing Zen, all of which invisibly raise its value a lot. In addition, the problem of food and clothing has been solved in recent years, and the number of tourists has been increasing, which has made this famous mountain famous.

The two of them stood at the foot of the mountain, looking down the stone road towards the mountain, there was an endless stream of climbers, and the weather of 367 degrees in July not only made them regret coming here.

Isn't it good to stay at home?

But the two of them looked at the ticket in their hands that cost one hundred and twenty oceans, gritted their teeth, and went up.

It's coming.

In this way, the two began their graduation trip, or the mountain climb.

There are many famous mountains and rivers in our country, but the five mountains stand out among the mountains, and the Dongyue Taishan is the first of the five mountains by virtue of its unique questioning. Mount Tai, 1524 meters above sea level, starting from the Red Gate, passing through the Zhongtian Gate, and then to the South Heavenly Gate, is the famous Mount Tai Eighteen Pan, and then will reach the Jade Emperor Peak, that is, the top of Mount Tai.

Mount Tai 18 plates, famous for its twists and turns, steep stone steps. Wu Zhong and the others looked up at the eighteen plates that were nearly sixty degrees, and they really wanted to die. It took the two of them five hours to climb from the foot of the mountain to here, and now that the sun has set, the sky is gradually darkening, and the city at the foot of the mountain is lit up, and the evening time begins.

Now that we've come here, it's impossible to retreat. The two rested on the side of the road for a while, gritted their teeth, and dragged their lead-filled legs towards the finish line step by step. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, it was already dark.

The two stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the shining lights under the mountain, with the stars overhead, and then they appreciated the heroic spirit of the ancients who "would be at the top of the mountain and see the mountains at a glance".

It was already evening, and the two were not in a hurry to go down the mountain. The two drank twenty-one bowls of clear soup noodles in the Peak Heaven Street, and found a place with few people to start resting. They plan to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning.

The altitude of 1,500 meters is destined to make the temperature at the top of the mountain different from the temperature at the foot of the mountain, and in the middle of the night, Wu Zhong and the others were already a little uncomfortable by the wind blowing on the top of the mountain, so they had to rent a military coat. That's when it warmed up.

The two of them were blown away by this cool breeze and did not feel sleepy, and Wu Zhong looked up at the night decorated with stars, which was really a rare comfort. In recent years, due to smog, it is rare to see such a clean sky in the city.

"Looks like tomorrow is going to be a good day. ”

Wu Zhong followed the voice and looked, and at some point, a sloppy uncle who was also wrapped in a military coat sat beside him. He is said to be sloppy, not because of his shabby military coat, but because of his unkempt head

Hair, as well as a face that seems to have not been washed for many days, and a stubble beard, it is really difficult to make people feel good.

"You also came to see the sunrise?" the man saw that Wu Zhong did not answer, and spoke again.

Although it is said that it is a meeting in Pingshui, it is not good to refute people's face too much.

"yes. Are you too?"

What kind of day is this talking about, at this time, didn't you come up to watch the sunrise, did you come to be frozen? Even I asked such nonsense. Wu Zhong slandered.

The man pursed his lips and said, "This sunrise is beautiful, but I have seen enough of it, and I have even seen a sunrise that is even better than this." ”

"Then what are you doing here?" Wu Zhong wondered.

"Me, hehe, I'm cleaning. ”

Only then did Wu Zhong see that his work clothes were faintly visible.

This kind of climate, and on such a steep mountain, Wu Zhong couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart.

"You've worked hard enough, too. ”

The man sighed: "No way, eat with a mouthful." ”

Wu Zhong didn't know how to continue for a while. Fortunately, the man saw the empty bottle not far away, got up and left. Wu Zhong turned to look at Xu Yang, and the guy fell asleep again. He set an alarm clock for himself, leaned against the wall behind him, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Ding Ding"

I don't know how long it took, the vibration of the mobile phone woke up Wu Zhong, he looked around, the east in the distance had begun to glow white, he hurriedly woke up Xu Yang, and the two stumbled and followed everyone towards the Sun Peak.

After a short time, the two walked to their destination, found a place, and prepared for the sunrise.

In the distance, the white of the fish's belly became brighter and brighter, as if something was about to come out. At this time, there was an exclamation in my ears.

"What do you see that?"

In remote places, clouds and mist are shrouded, and thick clouds like cotton accumulate in the distance. At this moment, the clouds rolled and rolled like the waves of the sea, as if a giant dragon was swimming in them.

This is another famous landscape of Mount Tai, the sea of clouds.

It is not easy to see the sunrise, and now it is even more rare for the sea of clouds and sunrise to appear together, Wu Zhong and the two looked at each other and smiled, this trip is really worth it.

At this moment, the bright spot in the distance has begun to redden.

"The sun is out!" exclaimed, and then the sound of the leaves stopped abruptly, except for the fluttering of leaves.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the horizon in the distance. The reddened place was getting brighter and redder. At a glance, a red line has appeared in the sky, and a small red dot is rising in the middle of this red line, like a chick that is breaking its shell and starting its new life.

The eggshells are slowly peeling off, the clouds are thinning, and the red sun is becoming more and more obvious. Suddenly, the red sun seemed to rivet its strength, and finally broke through the barrier, and the fiery red sunlight instantly radiated thousands of miles, dyeing the clouds with brilliant golden red.

Everyone exclaimed, and they all grabbed the advantageous position to take a photo with the sun of the new day. For a while, various poses were presented one after another, keeping this most beautiful moment.

After watching the sunrise, the two followed the crowd and slowly left back to Tianjie, found a place with a reasonable price to have breakfast, and prepared to go down the mountain.

Before going down the mountain, Wu Zhong looked around, wondering if he could see the sanitation worker, but at this time, the figure was crowded, and his vision was constantly obscured, so he gave up.

The first stop down the mountain is the two major shrines of Mount Tai Jade Emperor Peak, one is the Jade Emperor Peak, and the other is the Bixia Temple that enshrines Mount Tai's grandmother and is also known as Bixia Yuanjun.

"I heard that Bixia Temple is very effective, do you want to go and worship?" Xu Yang said with interest on his face.

Although Wu Zhong didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he wouldn't object to others doing this, so he agreed.

Bixia Temple, was built in the Song Dynasty Zhenzong period, at that time named Zhaozhen Temple, after continuous reconstruction, finally named Bixia Temple.

The main hall of Bixia Temple is five wings, nine ridges rest on the top of the mountain, 360 tones of tile ridges, to like the Zhou Tian index. Cover tiles, owl kisses, large ridges, etc. are all bronze casting, and the eaves are hung high Yongzheng Emperor "Zanhua East Emperor", Qianlong Emperor "Fu Sui Haiyu" huge plaque. The whole hall is carved with beams and paintings, and there are exquisite paintings such as Yuanjun's outing, which makes people really dazzled and fascinated. In the center of the main hall, there is a huge female statue enshrined, which is Bixia Yuanjun.

Xu Yang worshipped the statue, and the two visited several other temples before starting to descend the mountain.

"What wish did you make?" Wu Zhong asked curiously.

Xu Yang said with a serious face: "Find a partner." ”

Wu Zhong was speechless for a while.

Xu Yang said angrily: "I don't want you, you are more than one meter eight, you have a good figure, you are handsome, and there are people chasing you everywhere." In my four years of college, I said that people were chasing me, and none of them agreed to chase me. ”

Wu Zhong smiled but said nothing. Xu Yang's appearance is a little unsatisfactory, less than one meter seven, and his weight is still close to one hundred and nineteen, so you can imagine what his figure looks like. Coupled with the fact that they nest in the dormitory all day long, playing games and watching anime, they inadvertently begin to exude the atmosphere of a fat house, and those girls are naturally reluctant to agree.

"But then again, why don't you find a partner in college?

Wu Zhong shook his head with a smile, he didn't want to say.

's own background doomed most girls to have no chance with him. During college, he studied hard and worked hard to earn living expenses. It's difficult to live on your own, so how can you have the time and energy to fall in love.

There is a good saying that money is not everything, but no money is everything. But he's the one who doesn't have the money.

If you want to say that you didn't like it during college, how can it be, naturally there is, but you only dare to think about it yourself.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, it was noon again. The sun, which was still gentle in the morning with the newborn chicks, has now turned into a huge furnace, scorching the land. And the people of this earth are like the bacon, turning over and over, and in a moment they will be ripe.

Wu Zhong and the others bought two bottles of ice water, poured them down, and instantly refreshed a lot. It's just that the water that usually costs one dollar has risen to five yuan at this time, which is really distressing.

The two found a shady place, squatted on the side of the road, and waited for the bus.

Xu was because he drank cold water, and after a while, Wu Zhong began to have a stomachache. After saying hello to Xu Yang, he hurriedly ran to the toilet.

It's convenient, and the whole person is smooth. Wu Zhong returned to the place just now, but he didn't see Xu Yang.

I guess I ran somewhere to play. Wu Zhong thought to himself. He took out his mobile phone, and was just about to call Xu Yang, when he saw a WeChat message: There is something wrong, and I will come back in a while.

Wu Zhong replied: Okay. I also wander around other places myself.

In addition to the two palaces on the top of the mountain, in other places, there are also scattered various Taoist temples. There are those who worship the Three Qings, those who worship Cihang Dashi, and those who worship the King of Medicine.

Wu Zhong wandered around and looked everywhere, each palace was different, but there were also the same places, that is, there were many people.

Wu Zhong didn't like to contact people since he was a child, and he and Xu Yang became friends because of accidents, except for Xu Yang, he couldn't say that he had any friends during college. Therefore, these crowded Taoist temples made him stay away, so he walked towards a slightly desolate Taoist temple in the distance.

It is said to be desolate, because the road is almost covered by weeds, and the wall skin has fallen off in many places, and it looks like no one has visited it for a long time.

Wu Zhongshen walked over with one shallow foot, and when he walked to the gate and saw the dilapidated wooden door, Wu Zhong had already begun to hesitate to go in. Someone behind him spoke.

"Little brother, do you want to go in?"

Wu Zhong was startled, and hurriedly turned around, and a middle-aged man with a rickety figure was standing behind him with a cloth bag. He hurriedly retreated, but he happened to be tripped by a stone, and his body was immediately unstable.

Wu Zhong stabilized his figure and hurriedly thanked him. He looked at the person who came and recognized it as the cleaner at the top of the mountain.

Wu Zhong calmed his mind and asked with some surprise, "Why are you here?"

The man replied, "I live here." ”

Wu Zhong was surprised.

The man seemed to understand Wu Zhong's thoughts, and explained: "I am alone, and I have no place to live. No one took care of this temple, so I moved in and just helped with the caretaker and cleaning. ”

Wu Zhong was relieved.

The man crossed Wu Zhong, pushed open the wooden door with a cloth bag, and asked before he entered, "Do you want to come in?"

Wu Zhong couldn't help but feel indignant when he thought of this, he knew that he wouldn't come in the first place.

At that time, the man invited, and Wu Zhong had nowhere else to go, and wanted to see here, so he followed the man in. Later, I didn't know how to recognize that person as a master, and I became what I am now, becoming a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest is the Taoist priest, the key is still the poor Taoist priest, or the poor Taoist priest of a dilapidated Taoist temple that does not even have a name.

I knew that I had this life, and how much I wanted to be a monk. How good it is that the monks now earn a lot of money, and they commute to work normally like office workers!

It's a pity that he wasn't, he became a Taoist.
