Chapter 313, Thousand Lotus Mountains
Xie Xiaoxian's work now is not as dangerous as before, and it is not as tiring as it was at the beginning, day and night and holidays, but leisure is only relatively speaking, although there are prescribed public holidays, it is usually difficult to invite down. This time it was really a blessing for Senior Brother Zhang Renhe to catch her, she just joined the task force, and the liaison and coordination work she was responsible for was over, but the task force still needed to deal with follow-up affairs, so she took the opportunity to take a week off, plus the first and last weekends are a total of nine days, which is enough to go out and have fun.
Xie Xiaoxian's mother's name is Du Ruoxian, You Fang has seen it in the Luoyang Tomb Museum, is a monk who worships the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, believes in Buddhism and travels in the mountains and rivers all his life. She is from Anshan, and Xie Xiaoxian also grew up in Anshan, and even lived in the local mountain temple with her mother, which was a long time ago.
In addition to accompanying Xie Xiaoxian back to Anshan to relax, You Fang also had other plans for this trip, which was the beginning of his planned trip, which was not only to understand the realm of all things in spirit, but also to find the sword spirit Qin Yu. After Xie Xiaoxian returned to Beijing, he set off to Cangzhou, recreate the lotus pond and iron lions, and then go to Jinan to visit Daming Lake to enjoy the small Canglang, and then go to the Luoyang Ancient Tomb Museum, which is the mental journey of Qin Yu back then.
And before that, there was something else, Liaodong he had never been to, Baishan outside the Guan; The Water Soul has a unique character, and it needs to be carefully savored. In addition, Zhang Renhe was inexplicably planted in the right hand of the police, and all factions of Fengmen could guess that Mr. Rand did it, how could he let this person go, if he couldn't even take a Jiangyang thief, how could he deal with Tang Chaoshang, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean?
The Bow Pulling Sect was inevitably apprehensive when they heard about it, because Zhang Renhe was involved in some embarrassing past events in their sect, and You Fang planned to visit the Bow Pulling Sect in Liaoning by the way, which was both to appease and express gratitude, "Zhang Renhe's clues were first provided privately by the Bow Pulling Sect. But then again, who will thank who may not know, You Fang used these human and material resources, in fact, he completed what the Bow Pulling Sect wanted to do back then but did not complete.
Unlike many of the scenery that the little wanderer has walked through, Anshan is not a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the atmosphere here seems a little dirty for many times of the year. It is the largest steel industry city in Northeast China, where the headquarters of Anshan Iron and Steel Group is located, and it is also one of the most important steel producing areas in China. The surrounding areas of Fushun, Panjin and Benxi are rich in coal, iron, oil and other minerals.
Anshan is also very rich in mineral resources, including dumplings, magnesite and other ores, Xiuyan Manchu Autonomous County is also one of the largest jade producing areas in China, the jade produced here is called Xiuyan jade. Secret crystals are also produced here, and of course, their varieties and yields are far from comparable to those in the mountainous areas along the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, where the Songhe Valley is located.
It is not that where there is an ore there is a spar, and not all spars have the unique physical properties of the arcane crystal.
However, there are several types of special secret crystals produced here, which are difficult to see elsewhere, and the quality of Xiuyan jade is compared with the traditional Hetian jade, Lantian jade, and Kunlun jade. It is not very good, and the accumulation of humanistic connotation is slightly insufficient, but some special jade can also be used as a material for processing secret artifacts. The outer hall of the bow faction is located in Xiuyan County, one is to facilitate communication with the various factions in the rivers and lakes, the second is to facilitate the mining of the intention, and the third is to facilitate the collection of secret artifacts - these are the responsibilities of the outer hall.
And the secret method of piercing the bow of the Bow Pulling Sect requires the cooperation of several secret spars that are special to this place, so that it can play the greatest role when it operates. As for its inner hall, it is at the junction of Jilin and Liaoning Province, in the mountains of the remaining veins of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and it is also the place where the sect has been passed down from generation to generation.
When you came to Anshan, you were not in a hurry to pull the bow and worship the mountain, nor did you inform them. He accompanied Xie Xiaoxian to go around the places where he lived and played when he was a child, and since he came out to travel, of course he had to go to Qianduo Lotus Mountain, which is about forty miles southeast of Anshan.
This mountain is known as the group of peaks gathered such as standing lotus flower thousand products, the tour party has been to the Meiling of Nanchang to feel every provocation to find the mountain, Meiling is known as having ninety-nine peaks, the style is different, and this mountain has a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine peaks, the number of missing ten is thousands in the west, since ancient times it is called a thousand lotus mountains, referred to as a thousand mountains. A generation of earth masters has stepped on thousands of rivers and mountains, and the name of this mountain is really interesting, and today's tour party has finally climbed on this "thousand mountains".
Qianshan has been the famous place of the cave outside the Guan, Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times, but it is still a contemporary thing to develop as a scenic spot. The word "Thousand Mountains" on the main gate of the scenic spot is written by the contemporary layman Zhao Puchu, and the couplet on both sides of the main gate "Eight Thousand Roads in the South China Sea, the first mountain in Liaodong" is the poem written by the contemporary calligrapher Qigong.
You Fang and Xie Xiaoxian entered the mountain through the archway, and Xie Xiaoxian also muttered: "When I was a child, it seemed that there was no admission fee here." You Fang held her and smiled without saying a word.
There is a "glimmer of heaven" in the thousands of mountains that runs through the huge mountain rocks, and you can see through the opposite side at a glance, but it gives people the feeling that the two mountains will be squeezed into a meat pie, and the narrow place cannot be passed at all. In fact, this is just an illusion, and the fat people who came here have all passed. This illusion is not only for visual or psychological reasons, the earth qi spirit is indeed very specific, it is in; In the integrated mountain, a crack separating the space was opened very strangely, and You Fang naturally remembered the secret "bow piercing technique" 0 of the bow pulling faction
The bow piercing technique of the Bow Pulling School and the Dingshan Recipe of the Lying Niu School should come from the same source, but they are to discover the two different mysteries in the characteristics of Feng Shui Lingshu. It is a secret method to transfer the characteristics of the Feng Shui Bureau, similar to but different, and the sand elimination method of the sand elimination school, which can be specially repaired to repair the dilapidated Feng Shui Bureau, of course, it can also destroy the intact Feng Shui Bureau, and the magic of transferring the spirit is so. Therefore, people with a gloomy heart may not be suitable for practice, and it is very easy to abandon their roots and pursue their fierce and insidious bow-piercing intentions, but they lose their original intention of nourishing the gods and forgetting the mountains and rivers.
You Fang hadn't visited the Bow Pulling Sect yet, and the first thing that came to mind when he came to Thousand Lotus Mountain was the secret nature of the Bow Pulling Technique, while talking to Xie Xiaoxian about the landscape here. The general scenic spot according to the tourist route, the horse and the flowers are only one day, even if it is a large scenic spot, according to the itinerary of the tour group is at most two or three days to visit, but the scenery in it really has to be savored, this time is of course far from enough.
There is a saying that the tour guide describes the so-called tourists now: "Sleep when you get on the bus, pee when you get off the bus, take pictures when you get to the scenic spots, and don't look at anything after taking pictures." "Journey to the West is naturally different, he usually doesn't even bring a camera, and he doesn't follow the general travel route, just swim with the rhyme of the scenery Lingshu, a place as big as Qianduo Lianhua Mountain, if you want to bring the Lingshu into the chest, only one or two days on the mountain is not enough.
Xie Xiaoxian, who grew up here since childhood, a little wanderer who can sense the spirituality of mountains and rivers, Ying Mou is the best pair of mountain tours.
They talked all the way, Xie Xiaoxian frowned and said, "I have heard since I was a child that there are nine hundred and ninety-nine peaks here, such as the dry magenta lotus platform clustered, where is the missing peak?" ”
You Fang said with a smile: "The number of heaven and earth is incomplete, there is always a line of regret, you need to verify the perfection in your heart, you and I enter this mountain, where do you say that peak is?" If people don't know taste, it is in vain to make all kinds of scenery vivid. ”
Xie Xiaoxian gently poked him with his elbow: "Your face is really thick enough, and the implication is that you are a mountain beyond the nine hundred and ninety-nine peaks?" ”
You Fang smiled and said, "I may not be, and I may not be, it depends on whether you have him in your eyes?" You may not be, and you may not be, it depends on whether there is a fairy in my heart? "Life in the world is like looking in this thousand mountains, and the regret is also the interest." Xie Xiaoxian glared: "Is there any?" You Fang hurriedly nodded and said, "Hmph, there is a little fairy surrounded by the nine hundred and ninety-nine pins of lotus platform." ”
Xie Xiaoxian lowered his head with satisfaction, sighed softly and said: "When you say this, I think of what happened when I was a child, when I was a child, I liked to read novels and comics, and it was often a long wait, and sometimes I couldn't buy the books I wanted for several years, the more I was like this, and when I bought the books I wanted, the stronger the sense of happiness." You Fang asked, "Oh, what comic books do you collect?" Here's an example. Xie Xiaoxian replied in a low voice: "Saint Seiya......" You Fang snorted and laughed: "It turns out that you still have these hobbies." Xie Xiaoxian asked rhetorically: "What about you, what extracurricular books do you read when you go to school?"
You Fang didn't think about it, so he replied: "The Trick of Finding the Mountain, the Trick of Removing Sand, the Trick of Fixing the Mountain, the Trick of Piercing the Bow, the Shaking Dragon Sutra, the Heavenly Jade Sutra, and the Twelve Rods Method......" Xie Xiaoxian interrupted him and said: "What I asked about is not a feng shui book, but the ones that normal children read."
You Fang: "Let me think about it, the countryside is not so fashionable, all I can find in the village are some old-fashioned villain books, such as "Qin Lian Selling Horses", "Two Guns and Lu Wenlong", "Nezha and the Sea", "Snipe and Clam Fighting", "Xiaoshang River", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" and so on. …… Xiaoxian, how can you be really? As soon as I went up the mountain today, I always thought you weren't very happy, didn't you? ”
Xie Xiaoxian frowned, her expression seemed to be a little aggrieved, but she didn't know who made her wronged, she held You Fang's arm and pouted slightly: "Little wanderer, you have walked a lot, do you feel ......?" You Fang: "What do you think?" ”
Xie Xiaoxian: "I can't say it, it's hard to describe anyway, my mother believes in Buddhism, and since she was a child, she told me that life and death are the norm, but when I see some rivers and mountains over the years, I always feel a little disturbed." ”
You Fang also frowned slightly: "This feeling is not unreasonable, maybe it's not your reason, describe it carefully, okay?" ”
Xie Xiaoxian: "I grew up here when I was a child, and I also lived in the mountains for a long time, although I received a materialist education, I felt that this thousand lotus flowers have spirits in the mountains since I was a child. ”
You Fang's eyebrows jumped slightly: "You remind me of your sister Xie Xiaoding, your sisters' feelings are very interesting, how can you have a spirit?" ”
Xie Xiaoxian: "According to the old man here, the Thousand Lotus Mountains are connected with Changbai, which is the end of the dragon veins of the Great and Small Xing'an Mountains, and it is also the place where the human settlements in Liaodong originated, and there are still the ruins of primitive human tribes tens of thousands of years ago near here." When I was a child, I felt that this place was pure and elegant, although the climate was a little colder, it felt very comfortable, there were acacia flowers in spring, and maple red and frost white in autumn, it was really beautiful, and sometimes I often saw God on the side of the road. ”
You Fang looked at her, nodded slightly, and said, "It's really beautiful, although I didn't see it, but I can feel it." ”
Xie Xiaoxian continued: "But this time I returned to Anshan, and on the way here, I saw the spring water cut off and the vine roses withered. As she spoke, she pointed in a direction, they were ascending a mountain peak, leaving the Luzi-Main Road, You Fang looked at her hand, only to see a mountain peak in the distance was hollowed out on one side, and the ground revealed a huge pit, really large, like a huge lake without water waves. Its earth qi sensing is like being destroyed by a piercing bow, but no matter what kind of master he is, he may not be able to complete this blow with a secret method.
You Fang stretched his divine thoughts to sense the mountains and rivers in the spiritual body, but for some reason there was a tingling sensation in his divine thoughts, as if he heard a moan coming from nowhere. He immediately turned his head and sighed slightly: "The world is like a rolling torrent, submerging most of them, we can't always be nostalgic, society must always move forward." But let's not forget who we are with in the world? When people talk about feng shui, it is not just a means of confusion and deception, but there is a true meaning in it. Xie Xiaoxian summed up very simply: "These are the spirituality of the mountains and rivers. ”
You Fang had to smile bitterly, he used to try not to talk about too mysterious topics in front of Xie Xiaoxian, but he didn't expect Xie Xiaoxian to take the initiative to mention these today, it seems that he really has feelings, so he also shook his head and said: "The mountains and rivers are dilapidated, because of people's indulgence, but they have forgotten the beauty of feelings, and they have abandoned their roots." Sacrifice too much for the little gain in front of you, and act recklessly regardless of the feng shui rules, sooner or later you must spend the price to redeem it, but I don't know if it can be redeemed? The road must be forward, but some detours are really a pity! ”
While speaking, the two of them continued to move forward, here is the "Heaven on the Sky" scenic spot, located in the north ditch of the four ditches in the east, south, convex and north of Qianshan, and the main peak is called the top of the five Buddhas.
Now that the conversation has been opened, You Fang naturally talked about feng shui and the spiritual beauty of mountains and rivers. These are not necessarily related to the cultivation of secret methods, and such topics are often discussed by ordinary people.
The development and design of this scenic area is indeed a bit nondescript, at least the tourism and construction departments do not understand Feng Shui, or the real Feng Shui. In such a place, the so-called cultural landscapes such as the shoddy thrilling world palace and the ancient city of the Tang Dynasty were also built, which were embedded in the peaks of the famous places outside the Guanwai Cave. This is not a park playground, the atmosphere is completely out of tune with the earth's spirit, and the conflict with the environment is like excess fat and powder sores on people's bodies.
Xie Xiaoxian grew up in this area since she was a child, and it feels wrong to revisit her hometown but it is difficult to describe, of course she will feel uncomfortable, and You Fang has to continue to persuade her not to just look at this, it is also an eyesore to watch. There should be good feelings in the heart, and the vision should be good at discovering and appreciating, there are many beautiful and steep scenery of this thousand lotus mountains, he held her all the way while pointing out the interesting scenery everywhere to enjoy, Xie Xiaoxian smiled again, after all, if you come out to play, you have to be happy.
There are Xiaomeiling and Zhenyi Gang in the thousand mountains, it is said that the immortal Lu Dongbin once sat on the place of the Xianjia Dan Road, the essence of its spiritual center is rich and indeed extraordinary, they walk through the mountain and finally reach the halfway point of the top of the five Buddhas, and do not climb up, and then look back to the southeast, it is the famous Thousand Mountains Giant Buddha. This big Buddha is different from other famous cliff carvings such as the Leshan Giant Buddha and the Bamiyan Buddha because it is one side of a mountain.
The steep stone walls of the mountain naturally form the shape of Maitreya sitting leaning to the right, and the head and eyebrows, facial features, hands, knees, and even the rosary on the chest are clearly recognizable. There is also a hand-carved ring with a diameter of about three meters on the back of the Buddha's right hand, and the sun shines on it, naturally forming a halo with strong chiaroscuro when viewed from a distance.
The "Big Buddha" was discovered in the nineties of the last century, and then after excavation and research, it was found that there were relics left by the worship of various generations in history, but it was hidden in the mountains and unknown, and it was re-"discovered" by people.
Maitreya is the so-called future Buddha of Buddhism, strictly speaking, it is not poisonous to call the Buddha but should be called the Bodhisattva, you Fang looked at the Bodhisattva of the mountain, such as the Bodhisattva Mountain, and suddenly said: "The breath of the mountain, there is really a treasure solemn, but I feel that the mountain is laughing, it seems to be a sneer and a bitter smile." ”
Xie Xiaoxian snorted and said: "At that time, I was still young, and I hadn't yet gone to elementary school, and I heard that a certain great master found a big Buddha in Qianduo Lotus Mountain, and the whole mountain was like a statue of Maitreya." You see how good this Bodhisattva is here, just like the feng shui you just said, it is integrated with the Qianpin Lotus Platform of the Peaks of the Mountains, sitting hidden among the ancient trees and vines, and there are people worshipping since ancient times. "It's good now, it's been found again, in order to clean it up more clearly, so that people can visit and overlook, the pine locust on the cliff over there has been cut down and the vine has suffered!"
You Fang couldn't help but laugh: "What a poor Bodhisattva, let people force out and run naked to be watched!" Xie Xiaoxian was almost amused, but he gave him a punch and said, "Don't talk like that, my mother believes in Buddhism!" ”
You Fang hurriedly lowered his head, bowed to the distant mountains over there, and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't say anything for a while, and I didn't mean to make fun of it, the Bodhisattva is generous, please don't worry about me!" ”
Then he pointed to the mountain and said: "I just talked about the principle of feng shui, here is a typical example, the Bodhisattva in the thousand lotus flowers, the wonder of the heavenly spirit mirror is nothing more than this, since ancient times it has also been entrusted by the mountains and rivers." But some people have to draw snakes to add feet, pull vines and cut down trees and bare mountains to present, lest tourists can't see this mountain like a Bodhisattva, but it is a dilapidated scenery Yaxing, burning the piano and cooking cranes! "If you don't understand, don't mess around, try every means to approve funds for the construction of scenic spots, and it is understandable that the project will be successful and profitable, but the money is spent in the wrong place, and the result is ruining the scenery." h! ~!
