Chapter 116: The Ancient Temple Mountain Gate
"What? It's only a mile away from the Yaowang Temple after walking so far? Li Zhiqi exclaimed:
"I still vividly remember the day before yesterday at the mouth of the mountain cliff, I saw the Yaowang Temple hidden in the mountain depression from a distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAt that time, I estimated that it was at least 14 or 5 miles of mountain roads.
Today, I came down from the cliff and climbed up the mountain road for about a mile or two. After crossing the trail of about a mile at most, I walked across a suspended bridge of about 100 meters. It's three or four miles away, how can there be one mile left? ”
Yu Zexuan smiled, but he was unable to answer, and pointed to the stone path in front of the bridge. Li Zhiqi looked at Yu Zexuan and saw him nodding. He followed the stone path to the edge of the flat ground.
You don't have to go to the edge to see the ruins of a temple in the lush woods not far away. The roof of the tall temple has been broken, but it is still tall and majestic, revealing the grandeur of the time.
I was worried about Yu Zexuan, so I didn't look carefully and turned around and walked to the child: "Xiao Xuan, are you okay?" Otherwise, why would I be here today? Will I come back with the rest of the county in the future? ”
Yu Zexuan shook his head and said, "Brother Li, my father said that I would bring you here." It's all here, where is there anyone who retreats halfway? ”
Li Zhiqi said: "There is still more than a mile to go, how can you walk?" ”
Yu Zexuan smiled and said, "I said it's a mile away. But it's not like it's a mile walk. We haven't come out of the circle yet. Come on, let's keep walking! As he spoke, he jumped off the boulder. Oops slammed to the ground with a thud.
Li Zhiqi saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Only then did this help know what Yu Zexuan meant by heaviness. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child is generally sixty or seventy pounds. How much can it weigh for an adult? But Li Zhiqi helped hard, and Yu Zexuan, who fell to the ground, did not move at all, and it was estimated that he was at least one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds.
Yu Zexuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, thank you!" Why do you think I forgot that I'm heavy? It's worth it. Brother Li, let me get up by myself. ”
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and slowly stood up. Then he turned to the big stone and said, "Brother Li, let's go through this stone." ”
As he spoke, he threw himself on the stone and disappeared. Li Zhiqi knew that it was another formation gate. So without hesitation, he slammed his head into the stone. I only felt a chill all over my body, and suddenly my eyes darkened. looked at Yu Zexuan sitting on the ground about a foot away from him. He was already standing in front of the wall of the ancient temple, and behind him was a stone monument of Zhenshan.
This stele doesn't look old, and the handwriting on the stele has weathered and disappeared. Only the carved workers carrying the stone monuments are delicate and vivid, quite spiritual. The stone used for the carving is not white marble, nor is it jade. However, the stone is transparent and oily, especially the carving is simple and mellow without losing the expressive kung fu of fine carving. There is no expression in the big place, and there is no deliberate carving in the small place.
The ancient temple is located on a small natural platform in the mountains. The front is flat, and the back is built against the mountain. Although the temple still has the remnants of the wall to block the natural erosion, the courtyard can be seen to be bright beyond the broken wall. But after all, due to the passage of time, the entire temple is almost covered with impermeable trees and vines, and the dense forest is full of ancient trees. When people come here, they suddenly feel extremely deep.
At this time, Yu Zexuan had already struggled to get up from the ground by himself. Step by step, he slowly walked towards the collapsed mountain gate. Li Zhiqi woke up suddenly and hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Yu Zexuan shook his head, forced a smile, and gently brushed Li Zhiqi's hand away.
Li Zhiqi knew that this child had a strong heart, so she was not reluctant, but just followed closely behind. The two of them slowly walked to the mountain gate one after the other.
I saw that the wooden mountain gate had long been decayed, and it fell to the side, and the mountain gate was opened. The temple plaque has disappeared, and it is not known whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple. Only the couplets carved on the stone door frames on both sides of the mountain gate are still there. But years of wind and rain erosion is also mottled, vaguely visible: "This was originally the text of the seal, but unfortunately the starting point Chinese could not display the seal, and it was automatically deleted." Please forgive me for this stupid website. (The belief in the Buddha's fate is nameless along the natural road, and he came here only because there was nowhere to go to ask for a samava).
Li Zhiqi's heart moved after seeing it, but she couldn't feel the reason or explain it. But between the lines, the aura surges, and it is breathtaking. I didn't dare to wait and see.
I knew in my heart that this exhaustive word must have been written by a person who has attained the Tao and understood the true consciousness and enlightenment of the unity of the three talents and the great avenue of the six heavens and the earth. But at this moment, he didn't care about understanding the great wisdom in detail, but he just kept it in his heart and hurriedly followed Yu Zexuan into the mountain gate.
When I entered the mountain gate, I saw that my eyes were full of desolation. I saw that the artemisia grass in front of the hall was grown, and the guano bucket under the eaves was densely covered with cobwebs. The cloister withered, Xiao Qiang collapsed, the eaves collapsed, the beams were slanted, and the roof leaked through.
The altar in the temple is dusty, and there is no trace of the statue of the worship god. There are only a few empty and dilapidated houses, ruins and several deserted courtyards. From the front yard, you can see through three entrances. Whether in the temple or in the garden, there is nothing long to see.
The two walked through the front hall and came to the middle courtyard. In the front position, there is a majestic hall frame. It is estimated that it should be the main hall of that year. Although it is barren in all directions, the momentum of the year is still there.
I saw that the hall is five zhang high, the duplex is threefold, and the building is built according to the intermittent style. Although the door has collapsed, the garden is full of artemisia grass and dilapidated. However, in the mottled front of the veranda under the eaves, you can still see the scene of carved beams and painted buildings.
The square in front of the hall is the size of two basketball courts. The wings of the corridor around are the front porch and the back building, which seems to be the Central Plains style, and the pattern is simple and elegant. Although the garden is overgrown with weeds, the gold brick paving is divided into three rows: left, middle and right, and the system is distinct.
In the center of the courtyard in front of the main hall, there is only a circular stone base left in the center of the incense burner, and the incense burner has long been gone.
There was only one fireproof water storage stone tank left in front of the corridor, which should have been a pair, and it should not be placed in front of the hall. Hemispherical stone jars, less than half a meter in diameter and about two feet high. It is made of the same stone as the stele in front of the mountain gate, but the carving is more exquisite. The part that outcrops the ground has become covered with moss and weeds and vines over time.
However, it is full of carved vines and flowers, and the carvings that complement each other are still faintly recognizable. The whole layout is vivid in the bustling and elegant in the fine.
But I don't know what kind of capable person he can transform a cold stone into a charming real world. Hard is to carve out thousands of weak pure feelings from hard stones. Li Zhiqi, who has seen many rare things in the world, can't help but be stunned.
On this side, I saw Yu Zexuan staggering and walking to the stone jar step by step. Sit down slowly with your back against this hemispherical stone jar and take a deep breath. His face gradually turned from pale to a little bloody.
Li Zhiqi hurriedly walked to the sweaty child, and asked with heartache and admiration: "Xiao Xuan, are you okay?" ”
"Brother Li, thank you. I'm fine, don't worry. As he spoke, he raised his hand with difficulty, wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, and said weakly:
"Big brother, I'm sorry! I won't be with you. Take a walk around yourself, and I'll rest here for a while. Now it's about 10 o'clock, and I'm taking a break. I'm trying to get back before 12 o'clock so I can walk back with you.
Don't worry, big brother, I feel much better now. I don't know why, here I am. Although my body was still heavy, I always felt that as long as I leaned against this stone jar, I felt much more comfortable immediately. He smiled as he spoke.
