Chapter 001 Seeking Buddha
In the scorching summer, the heat is unbearable, and the Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area is full of tourists.
Sanqing Mountain, because of the three peaks of Yujing, Yuxu and Yuhua, it is like Lingbao Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Taishang Daozun Sanqing sits in the column, so it is named.
Sanqing Mountain is known as the most beautiful mountain in China, it is a world natural heritage, and a national five-A scenic spot, attracting millions of domestic and foreign tourists every year.
Sanqing Mountain Scenic Area covers an area of 229 square kilometers, has hundreds of scenic spots, it has strange peaks towering in the sky, a thousand blades in the valley, there are more than 300 kinds of rare birds and beasts in the mountain, 349 kinds of rare medicinal materials. In the whole scenic area, there are more than 200 days of clouds and mist a year, plus all kinds of myths and legends, so that Sanqing Mountain is full of charm.
The delicate three mountains are clear, covered by towering ancient trees, on the forest path built of bluestone, there are many shops, many small merchants and hawkers see business opportunities, open shops on the side of the aisles in these scenic spots, operate various commodities, and attract tourists to make money.
In front of a painting shop, Su Chen grinned with a small white tooth, smiled and walked up to a few tourists who stopped outside the painting shop to watch, and sold ink paintings.
"Sir, how about you take a look at this 'Oriental Goddess Picture'? Are you going to go to the Goddess Peak? Let me tell you the story of the Goddess Peak......! ”
Among the five tourists outside the store, a fat man with glasses glanced at Su Chen and snorted: "Boy, how much does this painting cost?" ”
Su Chen saw that there were signs, and introduced them with great interest: "Brother, this goddess picture only costs three hundred yuan." ”
The fat man was upset: "Damn, isn't it just a broken painting?" If you want 300 yuan, you should be an idiot! ”
There is a way to reach out and not hit smiling people, the customer is God, if it weren't for tuition and living expenses, Su Chen would not want to talk nonsense with this unqualified fat man. In these years, it is not easy to make money, for that tuition, Su Chen can only greet him with a smile: "Brother, I am a kind person, you get what you pay for, if three hundred is too expensive, we can negotiate the price again, or two hundred and five." ”
The fat man snorted unhappily: "250? You're only 250? A broken painting, so expensive, how do you do business. Lao Tzu wants to see the Goddess Peak, can't he just take a photo? ”
Su Chen held back his anger: "Brother, look at what you said, no matter how good the photo is, it can't show the charm." Don't underestimate this picture. Let me tell you, the old man sitting inside is Wang Jian, a famous painter in our province. If you don't like this picture of the goddess, come, I'll pick you another one, this 'sea of clouds' is a rare masterpiece. Look at this cloud, this fog, the painting is vivid, revealing a mysterious atmosphere. If you want, I'm bleeding heavily, 200 sell to you. ”
Hearing Su Chen's words, beside the fat man, the long-haired woman with heavy makeup leaned forward and leaned back with a smile: "Boy, you said that the cross-eyed, big bald man inside is a painter?" ”
Su Chen nodded: "It's genuine, it's like a fake." ”
"I'm a grass, a liar, a big liar, just that bad old man is still a painter, and I'm still a saint." The five of them burst into laughter.
The ridicule of the five people made the old man who was selling paintings in the painting shop furious, and got up and coaxed the five people: "Get out, send off the guest, I won't sell this painting." ”
"Whew! This old man has such a bad attitude, and he is still doing business, and he curses you that he can't sell a single painting. The five young men glared at Su Chen and the old man inside fiercely, and left the painting shop.
Su Chen returned to the store dejectedly, lying on the table, staring at the cousin and shaking his head and sighing.
The old man dissipated his anger, and lay down on the table again, and studied the painting.
Su Chen couldn't help it: "I said Uncle Cousin, it's been two days, and I haven't sold a single painting, you bear with it, I will at least help you sell six paintings, one painting is 200, that's 1,002 yuan, according to your speed of two hours a painting, a proper monthly income is tens of thousands." You are a literati, shouldn't you put it aside, drink porridge every day, drink so much that I am soft, let's make some money first, okay? The brainless dead fat man laughed at us just to show off in front of the girl, and I made him proud, and the painting could be sold. Always guarding these paintings that can't be sold, are you old? ”
The old man stroked his reading glasses, clapped his hands, and stood up: "Su Chen! A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. I think back then, I was still a provincial first-class painter, and wherever I went, others were greeted with a smile and politeness, just like young people in this year, who didn't know how to respect people at all, let alone appreciate art. ”
Su Chen yawned and stood up lazily: "Uncle cousin, the hero didn't mention the courage of the year, haven't you suffered enough back then?" Now is the economic era, money is the master, and it is difficult to move an inch without money. Uncle Cousin, you paint your paintings, sell your paintings, I will come, we are businessmen now, and making money is our primary goal. ”
"Okay, Su Chen, you're about to start school, you have to earn some tuition, a hundred yuan per painting, and the excess will be given to you, you can sell it as you want." I couldn't hear anything. The old man sighed helplessly, angrily picked up two small paper balls and stuffed them in his ears.
The old man was no longer stubborn, in order to live, Su Chen began to shout like the little two in those ancient restaurants and inns: "Sell paintings, sell paintings, top landscape ink paintings, the descendants of the sage Wang Xi, the painstaking work of Mr. Wang Jian, a famous painter in my country, after this village, there will be no such shop." Let's take a look, take a look. ”
In the painting shop, after the old man with his ears plugged heard Su Chen's shouting, he couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea: "I said Su Chen, Wang Xizhi is a calligrapher, I am a painter, not a type at all." Besides, although my surname is Wang, Wang Xizhi is really not my ancestor, aren't you selling dog meat on the head of a sheep? ”
Su Chen was speechless: "Alas! I said Uncle Cousin, no matter what you sell these days, you need a boo, and attracting customers is the king. Do you look at the platinum that was on TV a few years ago? Does it really have that effect? Actually! Flickering is king. As long as the painting can be sold for money, it can make money, let Wang Xizhi be your ancestor for a while, what can you lose, can you still be wronged? ”
The old man lowered his head at Su Chen's words, and silently picked up two small paper balls and stuffed them in his ears.
"I've sold paintings, so let's take a look and take a look." With a fierce roar above his head, Su Chen shouted at the pedestrians around him.
Su Chen...... You are Su Chen. ”
In a fruit shop in the distance, a tall and beautiful woman heard a familiar voice and ran out quickly.
"Luo ...... Luo Jia, how ...... Why are you? Su Chen didn't dare to look up at the beauty, her voice was as thin as a mosquito.
Seeing that beautiful woman running over, Su Chen was petrified in an instant, his face became red in an instant, and he felt as if he had been stripped of his little pants in public.
There is always a swarm of flies around beautiful women, and Luo Jia is no exception, followed by a woman and two men, and those two men seem to be Luo Jia's suitors.
The long-haired beauty Luo Jia quickly ran over, opened her big innocent eyes, and looked at Su Chen curiously: "Classmate Su Chen, didn't you say that you will travel abroad with your father this summer?" Why, you also come to Sanqingshan to play? Hey! I thought you were selling paintings! ”
Su Chen's face was as red as a ripe apple, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill into.
East China University of Political Science and Law, where Su Chen studied, is a first-class university in China. Most of the students who come out are either lawyers, mixed politics or business, and those who can enter this kind of higher education institution and bear the high tuition fees are students from well-to-do families, or with backgrounds and connections.
Everyone has vanity, although Su Chen relied on good grades and was admitted to a first-class university, but the surrounding classmates were either BMW or Mercedes-Benz, and the worst were Buick, GM and the like. Su Chen and Luo Jia are classmates, looking at this attractive school flower, Su Chen's heart is itching, and he has tried to pursue it many times. But Su Chen, who is worried about tuition fees and lives a tight life, is always lacking in confidence. In the summer of this year, Luo Jia asked herself how she planned to spend the holidays, and Su Chen was of course embarrassed to say that she was going to earn tuition, so she lied and said that she traveled abroad with her father. Now that he has been caught by others, and the lie has been broken, Su Chen is very embarrassed.
"Su Chen, why don't you speak!" Luo Jia smiled and patted Su Chen's shoulder.
Just when Su Chen was so embarrassed that it was difficult to speak, the cousin shouted inside. "Su Chen, who is it, did you buy the painting? It's up to you. ”
"Uncle Cousin, I met a few classmates."
"Oh, then invite them to come in and sit down."
"No, let's talk."
Now that he can't hold it anymore, Su Chen stiffened his scalp and puffed up his chest: "Luo Jia, I'm sorry, I lied to you." Actually, I don't have any rich dad at all, and I didn't travel abroad with my dad, I just took advantage of the summer vacation to come to Sanqingshan to work and earn some tuition. ”
Luo Jia's mouth opened wide in surprise: "Yes...... Is that the case? ”
Su Chen blushed and nodded.
Su Chen's embarrassment made Luo Jia's side, the tall young man with glasses very proud, and the guy smiled weirdly: "Oh, it turns out that Su Chen didn't go abroad with his father, but came to work in this painting shop!" Isn't it good to be honest? wanted to chase Luo Jia, but deceived others. Luo Jia, you have to be careful when dealing with this kind of person, he can lie to you once, and he can lie to you many times. ”
Another flat-headed cool brother, singing and singing with the tall young man, also smiled cheaply: "Alas! I really didn't expect Su Chen to be so temperamental. Look at the old human slippers on this guy's feet, and the street stall shirt for dozens of dollars a piece. Oh! This kind of outfit made me feel a breath of sling! Haha, Su Chen, you just call Su Qi'er. ”
"Gao Cheng and Luo Qiang of Cao Nima, apart from fighting for Dad, where are you better than me?"
Su Chen secretly cursed these two guys in his heart, but because of the presence of the beautiful woman, he was embarrassed to get angry, for fear of leaving a bad impression on others, so he could only endure it first. These two guys had enough clothes to do on their own for months. Su Chen wanted to make a counterattack, but unfortunately he had no confidence.
Luo Jia saw that the two of them were laughing at Su Chen, and her brows furrowed at the moment: "Classmate Gao Cheng, classmate Luo Qiang, everyone has a good face, I believe that Su Chen has no malicious intent." Su Chen is the same age as us, so he has to earn his own tuition, and he doesn't rely on anyone, so you shouldn't laugh at him. On the contrary, we should admire Su Chen, who is more readable than us. Relying on yourself is a real man, Su Chen, hello. ”
Luo Jia smiled and shook hands with Su Chen.
"Thank you Luo Jia for your understanding." Luo Jia's empathy and reasonableness made Su Chen very pleased, in this era of money worship, such a girl is rare, of course, this may also be that Luo Jia is never short of money, so she doesn't care about money.
"Damn, I really don't understand where Luo Jia fell in love with Su Chen, Lao Tzu looked horizontally and vertically, and he didn't find out what this kid was better than Lao Tzu." Gao Cheng and Luo Qiang saw Luo Jia's attitude towards Su Chen, and their hearts became resentful.
Su Chen was embarrassed for a moment and relaxed: "Classmate Luo Jia, you are coming to Sanqing Mountain to play, do you need my help?" I've been working here for three years, and I'm familiar with every scenic spot, so you don't have a tour guide! If you don't mind, I'll be your tour guide today and accompany you around. ”
Luo Jia smiled: "That's okay, I heard that the tour guide in the scenic area is very serious, and there is Su to take us to play, everyone is relieved." ”
"Hmmm! Okay, I'll go talk to my cousin and go shopping with you today. Su Chen smiled and went into the painting shop. just said a few words to his cousin, but the old man was also open-minded, waved his hand, and agreed to give Su Chen a holiday.
Su Chen washed his face as fast as he could, cut his hair, and was about to run out, but he heard some sounds outside the door.
Outside the door, the Gao Cheng was scratching: "Luo Jia, what are you doing?" We came out to play for a few days, many people, how unhappy. ”
Luo Jia's voice was very low: "Classmate Gao Cheng, you have also seen that classmate Su Chen is in trouble now. As classmates, we should help, we ask him to be a tour guide, pay him, and help him. ”
Gao Cheng became proud: "Luo Jia, it turns out that you just want to give Su Chen a little money." It's not easy, I'll give that kid 10,000 yuan right away. ”
Luo Jia shook his head and sighed: "Gao Cheng, Su Chen has a lot of self-esteem, he doesn't ask for food, he won't ask for your money in vain." ”
"Luo Jia, you are good at everything, you are just too kind." Among them, another tall beauty named Zhao Qing was Luo Jia's best friend, and she smiled and held Luo Jia's arm.
The conversation outside the door penetrated into Su Chen's ears, as if someone had poured cold water on his head, Su Chen's heart was cold, Luo Jia didn't feel anything about himself, but he just felt sorry for himself too poor, and wanted to hire himself as a tour guide to make some money.
A feeling of being given by others stung Su Chen's heart, but Luo Jia also had good intentions, Su Chen could not appreciate it, but he couldn't blame others. After all, people have good intentions, and Luo Jia is still very different from those who are rich and unkind.
Su Chen changed into a short shirt and T-shirt, pretended not to hear anything, and walked out with a smile.
Su Chen only ignored the two men, and walked in front of Luo Jia with a smile: "Luo Jia, where do you want to go, I'll show you the way." ”
Luo Jia's face suddenly became sad: "Su Chen, seriously, I'm not here to play today." My mom got a strange illness and couldn't get a cure. I have heard that in these three clear mountains, there will be four or five times a month when the Buddha's light appears. I want to ask the Buddha and ask God to be merciful and save my mother. ”
Su Chen's heart was hot: "Do you have to be so filial, haven't you never believed in religion?" How did you start asking for a Buddha? ”
Luo Jia smiled bitterly: "Isn't there nothing I can't do?" Think of it as psychological comfort. I rushed to the doctor, whether it was useful or not, I had to try, and begged the gods and Buddhas to save my mother. ”
Su Chen lowered his head and sighed: "It feels good to have a mother." Unfortunately, I didn't know where my parents were, let alone what they were like. ”
"I'm sorry, classmate Su Chen, I don't know about your family affairs, please forgive me for causing you sadness."
"Hehe, I'm not a three-year-old child, and I will be angry and cry in a few words. Well, I hope your filial piety can move the heavens and the earth. There are many people who come to Sanqingshan every year to seek Buddha, but whether there is a god or Buddha, the ghost knows. I'll take you to Yujing Peak, where the Buddha's light appears the most often, an average of two to five times a month. However, it is generally sunny after the rain, and the probability of the Buddha's light appearing at about nine o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the evening is the most, and it is only two o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"Then thank you, classmate Su Chen."
"You're welcome, everyone come with me."
