Most people have the same feeling, happy times are always very short, and painful days are always long and difficult, but no matter what kind of appeal you make to time, time will never stop for anyone, and never speed up for anyone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As if it was just a blink of an eye, Chuxiao had ushered in the winter vacation of her sophomore year. Just a few days after returning home, Feng Jianzhang asked Chu Xiao to go to Jiuhua Mountain to burn a few pillars of incense. In fact, the Feng family did not have the practice of going to Jiuhua Mountain to worship Buddha before, and this habit began in the year when Chu Xiao met that sister. Ever since she met that sister and got the jade pendant given by that sister, Chu Xiao has never seen anything that others can't see. Wang Qing and Feng Yeming felt that perhaps there was a bodhisattva's blessing in the dark, so the couple decided to go to Jiuhua Mountain once a year to worship the Buddha as a way to express their gratitude to the Buddha. Feng Jianzhang is getting older, his physical strength is gradually not as good as before, and the world is unpredictable, Chu Xiao and his grandfather depend on each other, so from the year Chu Xiao went to college, the matter of going to Jiuhua Mountain to burn incense at the end of each year fell on Chu Xiao.

Before the snow fell, Chu Xiaoxuan took a car to the Dayuan Cultural Park after breakfast early one morning. This is the first time Chu Xiao has gone since the completion of the Dayuan Cultural Park, and the last time she went was to the old area of Jiuhua Mountain. Before Chu Xiaoxiao came, Grandpa specially asked her to check the location of each altar and explain some trivial precautions.

Because the day of the first dawn is not a special day, and it is relatively early, so when you enter the mountain gate, you can rarely see other tourists in the huge Buddha garden. Without the crowd of pilgrims, every step of the first dawn seems very slow, and every step seems to be slightly gloomy.

Originally, the weather forecast said that it would be cloudy and light rain today, but the morning sun was warm and bright, and it seemed that today could be a sunny day. Chu Xiao stopped and looked at the building of Hongyuan Hall, the warm sun shone on her thin face, she suddenly felt an inexplicable melancholy, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Is it really useful to burn incense and worship the Buddha sincerely? Will you really be happy if you pray to the Bodhisattva? I am afraid that you can't escape the calamities that should exist in your life, right? It's ridiculous that you have to get up early to worship the Buddha here. Chu Xiao secretly muttered in his heart.

If Chu Xiao still believed in the Buddha and gods before the age of seven, then after the age of seven, she would never believe in it again. When Chu Xiao was seven years old, Feng Yeming, who worships the Buddha every year, had an accident at the construction site, he fell from a wall frame more than five meters high, and his neck was poked by a bent steel bar, and he died on the spot. At that time, Chu Xiao, who could only feel the heartache but couldn't express it, heard the villagers say that he was a broom star behind his back, that he would provoke unclean things when he was a child, and finally killed his father. Chu Xiao was discriminated against by the villagers, and the villagers almost never went to the Feng family for fear of bad luck.

Wang Qing remarried a bachelor in the city three years later, and when Chu Xiao was eleven years old, she gave birth to a half-sister to Chu Xiao. Stepfather Zhou Kangsheng didn't want to see Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao didn't want to leave his grandfather, so Chu Xiao basically lived with his grandfather all the time, and was only occasionally picked up by his mother to live in the city for a few days.

Since her mother has a younger sister, Chu Xiao suddenly feels that her mother has an indescribable change, she always feels that her mother doesn't seem to love herself so much, sometimes her mother obviously sees her being bullied by her sister, but she just says that her sister is young and ignorant, and she wants to let her sister, and even sometimes she has to apologize to her sister in turn. Chu Xiao has been angry in front of her grandfather many times, saying that she will never go to her mother's side again in the future, but her grandfather will always persuade her that her mother will always be her mother, and she must think about the difficulties of her mother as an intermediary, and she will endure some small contradictions, after all, she has to rely on her mother to raise her.

Although Chu Xiao is only a twenty-year-old person, her heart has already carried too many bitter and bitter things that others have not experienced. But fortunately, the hardships of life did not make Chu Xiao depressed, and she was by no means a person who liked to be sad, all these years she gritted her teeth and reminded herself that she must be optimistic when she couldn't hide her tears with laughter.

Taking a breath gently, after the gas sank into the dantian, the dignified past also atomized like a cloud of smoke in Chu Xiao's heart, and he couldn't see it clearly for the time being.

After worshipping the Jizo King Bodhisattva, Hatsuyo left the Kogando Hall and walked along the mountain road to the Buddha Light Pond, which was the first altar of the temple. The bottom of the big round Buddha light pool is pasted with golden tiles, the sunlight shines into the water surface, and the golden light is emitted from the bottom of the pool, like the sacred Buddha light, and the incense and candles are burned at the altar in front of the Buddha light pool at the beginning of dawn.

"Is this called Buddha Light Pool?" Chu Xiao muttered to himself, feeling like a child who had been fooled.

After adding incense and lighting candles to each altar along the way, and worshipping in all directions, Hatsuki came to the last altar, which is the one in front of the 99-meter Jizo King Bodhisattva statue. Chu Xiao burned incense in front of the model of the nine-story pagoda while thinking that it was about to end, and when it was over, he could eat. The porridge that Chu Xiao drank in the morning had already been digested, and if it weren't for her grandfather telling her to go up the steps and bow to the holy elephant before she could fast, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on to eat a long time ago.

Chu Xiao looked at the countless steps, swallowed her throat, and climbed from the bottom of the steps to the top floor with all her hunger. When she climbed to the top floor, Chu Xiao's legs couldn't help but weaken, and she leaned on the railing with both hands and panted.

After standing still, Chu Xiao looked out from the top of the mountain, and the antique Hui style buildings in the distance were in full view, and the surrounding iron blue peaks and the dark blue sky seemed to be one, and the artistic conception was profound. The mountain breeze blew through the warm face, and the sweat slowly dried on Chu Xiao's face, bringing wisps of comfortable coolness, Chu Xiao's heart suddenly had a bright feeling, that brightness made Chu Xiao feel an indescribable ease and happiness, and she unconsciously raised a smile.

Chu Xiao looked into the distance, his thoughts were ethereal, and something seemed to stop there in the corner of his sight after shaking for a while. Chu Xiao turned his head and found a woman next to her, she was standing there calmly looking at the scenery in the distance.

The woman was wearing an off-white hat, a light brown cloak and skirt, and long black leather boots showing a circle of white fluff at the knee, she didn't look tall, Chu Xiao judged that the woman should be close to 1.5 meters based on the intuition of a science student. Looking at the woman's side face, it feels like a middle school student, which doesn't seem to match her slightly retro and mature dress, but this does not prevent her from giving a "good-looking" evaluation. The mountain breeze seemed to become gentler as it passed by the woman, gently raising her shoulder-length hair, and Chu Xiao seemed to be able to smell the serene aura emanating from the woman's whole person.

Usually women who come to worship the Buddha will tie up their long hair, and they also deliberately tie a Taoist girl's head, doesn't this woman know? Or does she simply ignore these so-called little rules? Chu Xiao speculated, she really wanted to see what this woman's face was like. Just when Chu Xiao was curious about the woman's face, the woman seemed to feel that Chu Xiao was looking at her, and turned her head to look at Chu Xiao. The woman looked at Chu Xiao, the corners of her lips slowly curled slightly, revealing a faint but not faint smile. The reason why this smile is not light is because Chu Xiao saw something that could not be materialized in the woman's indifferent eyes, and she didn't even know how to describe the psychological feelings at that moment. But just for a moment of looking at each other, Chu Xiao paused unconsciously, but it was also immediately that she realized that she had been discovered by peeking, so she smiled slightly embarrassedly and immediately turned her head to look away. By the time Chu Xiao went to see the woman again, the woman was already slowly descending the steps. After Chu Xiao circled the holy elephant clockwise, he began to embark on the road of fasting.

When the water falls from the high stones to the low stones, the height difference makes a small water curtain between the stones, and at the same time, the water flows to the lower stones with a crisp knocking sound, which looks like a miniature waterfall. Chu Xiao moved his gaze from the splash to the small stone mountain opposite the clear water canal, there was a road in the small stone mountain, but looking along the road, there was a sign standing among the trees. Chu Xiao guessed that it should be a reminder sign like no entry. It seems that there is no way in front of the prompt sign, in fact, normal people who will go to the depths, but it is necessary to set up a sign, so that someone really goes there, and the person in charge of the scenic spot must be to blame. Just when Chu Xiao was thinking like this, the corner of his eye swept to a figure. The light coffee-colored skirt flashed, and when Chu Xiao looked at it, it was the woman just now.

"Alas!" Chu Xiao subconsciously shouted, and the tourists in front looked back at Chu Xiao, who hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, with an embarrassed smile in his eyes. The tourist in front turned his head with hesitant eyes and continued on his own way. Chu Xiao hurriedly looked back at Xiaoshi Mountain, only to see the woman standing there, turning her head sideways to look at Chu Xiao, the smile on her lips was still so tranquil and not light. Chu Xiao only saw it for a moment, and the woman turned around and continued to run towards the sign.

"Can't go......" Chu Xiao blurted out, and the woman had already run away.

A few tourists in the back looked at the girl who was talking to the air strangely, and Chu Xiao had to run back with his head slightly down. When I came to the early dawn, I saw a stone arch bridge on the Qingshui Canal, and through this bridge, you can go to the side of the small stone mountain. Chu Xiao didn't know why she was so anxious to rush to the stone arch bridge, she just wanted to stop the woman from going inside, she was afraid that maybe the woman would be in danger later.

Chu Xiao ran to the place where the woman was standing just now, and the iron sign read, "There is no road ahead, tourists stop", she couldn't care so much, and rushed in directly without much hesitation.
