Chapter 354: What a big show
Mt. Kingo is not high, but that is talking about the altitude, and compared with many famous mountains and rivers in the country, Mt. Kingo is relatively short. However, the length of the mountain road cannot be measured by vertical height. The bluestone steps go up the hill, and there are signs on the side of the road. According to the map, the Dragon and Tiger Temple is not on the top of the mountain, but close to the top of the mountain.
"I've been to Longhuguan once before, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a large open space. Let's go to see the other temples first, and then go to the Dragon and Tiger Temple later, I heard that there are still vegetarian offerings. β
Standing at a fork in the road, Gao Jie stopped and said.
"Vegetarian ......"
Secretary Fan had a bitter face. To be honest, for a large carnivore like Fan Hongyu, the attraction of vegetarian food is really not good.
Gao Jieden "had a seizure": "Hey, you can't always eat meat, you have to eat more vegetables, eat more vegetable oil, don't always eat lard ......"
"The lard is delicious."
Before Gao Jie finished teaching, Fan Hongyu interrupted her and stated his reasons.
"Delicious is delicious, but not greedy. It doesn't matter if you're young, in good health, and physically exertional. In a few years, the position will be higher, the age will be a few years older, and as soon as the amount of activity decreases, you will immediately gain weight. When the time comes, what hyperlipidemia high blood pressure high blood sugar, and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will come to the door, see what you do?"
Gao Jie's eyes narrowed. She came from a family of eunuchs, and there are too many examples like this.
In the past, the relationship between the two was also very good, and Gao Jie often joked with him or something, but he generally did not dissuade these contents. Now that the relationship has undergone a qualitative change, Gao Jie automatically consciously regarded herself as a fiancΓ©e and began to control Fan Hongyu's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It seems that whether it is a female mayor or an ordinary housewife, in terms of managing men, it is basically the same.
"No, no, definitely not, you're talking about people, not me. How good my body is......"
Fan Hongyu refused to accept the advice and clenched his hands into fists. Made a toned pose.
"You, then you can always have a vegetarian meal with me today, right?"
Fortunately, Gao Jie knows this person's stubborn character very well, and Fan Hongyu is so young, and his physical problems seem to be far away, so he didn't persuade him again, and when he gets married in the future, it is not too late to slowly correct his bad habits.
"Okay, okay, it's okay to have a meal. Here, let's go see the monk first. When you're done, I'll go to see the Taoist priest. β
Fan Hongyu was afraid that Gao Jie would be endless, so he took her little hand and went to the right fork.
The scenery of Jinwu Mountain is beautiful, the two of them walk and chat, they are happy, almost to noon, they come to the Dragon and Tiger Temple. Strictly speaking, the Dragon and Tiger View of Jinwu Mountain is just another courtyard, the real Dragon and Tiger Temple, and the "general rudder" of the Heavenly Master Dao. Not in Hongzhou. In ancient times, this would not have happened. The Tao of the Heavenly Master and the Dragon and Tiger are in the Taoist tradition. The status is quite revered and cannot be desecrated.
Now that it's a new society, no one pays attention to these old rules.
"Wow, it's so big, it's expanded?"
As soon as he came to the Dragon and Tiger Temple, Gao Jie was taken aback, and his face was full of doubts.
"When I came here a few years ago to play. The scenic area has just begun to be built, and the Dragon and Tiger View is relatively dilapidated. It seems that in the past, this place was not called Dragon and Tiger Temple, but Sanqing Temple......"
Sanqing is the ancestor of Taoism. Heavenly Master Tao is just one school of Taoism. The renaming of Sanqingguan to Dragon and Tiger View is a bit unbelievable. It's just that many of the real religious inheritances have been messed up, ordinary good men and women, who would be more true than this? As long as there are temples, Taoist temples, bodhisattvas, and immortals, so that everyone can kowtow and worship, it is enough.
What good men and women ask for is just a spiritual comfort and sustenance. It is never wrong to kowtow when you see a statue.
"Sister, oh no, Xiao Jie...... We were originally going on an outing today, and we didn't really worship the Bodhisattva, so why do we care so much. The real Zhang Tianshi is still staying in Longhu Mountain, Zhang Tianshi here, who knows where he got out?"
"Well, I heard that many people believe in him and respect him as a heavenly master, but he is a god who pretends to be a god."
Gao Jie nodded and said in a low voice.
Although Gao Jie, like Gao Xinghan, is also a staunch atheist, in this Taoist "holy place", everyone around him is a devout believer, and Gao Jie does not want to arouse public anger.
"Strange powers, basically can be called god sticks."
Fan Hongyu smiled, but a shadow appeared in his heart for no reason. If there is really no god in this world, how can we explain everything that happened to him? Before going back in time, Fan Hongyu was also an atheist, but now, he is no longer so "reasonable".
"Actually, I really want to meet this Zhang Tianshi, who can have so many believers, and he is always capable. At least a few times in the rivers and lakes, simply wearing a big hat of a heavenly master is not so useful. β
After a while, Fan Hongyu said again.
"Okay, if you want to meet, then go and see it, as long as you don't be tricked by him into becoming a monk."
Gao Ye is indispensable.
Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, now religion is also free to come and go, and monks and Taoists can also marry and marry daughters-in-law." Taking a step back, I was able to be a layman at home. β
Gao Jie gave him two white eyeballs.
It's as if if if he left home, no one would want him anymore, and he was so beautiful
After the expansion, the dragon and tiger view of Jinwu Mountain is large-scale, magnificent, and there are many houses. Outside the view is a large flat open space, all of which have concrete floors, and are lined with rows of shops selling incense and candles, bamboo hexagrams and some souvenirs. Not far away is a "big canteen" that specializes in serving meals, which is full of antiquity. It is said that this is also the industry of the Dragon and Tiger Temple, which generates income for the view.
People come and go, and the sound of firecrackers is not sounded in the view, and it is very lively.
Gao Jie and Fan Hongyu walked in empty-handed, very different from other pilgrims, but they were stopped by the doorman and asked them to buy tickets.
Gao Jie said in surprise: "Do you still want to buy tickets? I remember not wanting a ticket before. β
"It was before, and now it is now. Now we are in a scenic area, and if we don't sell tickets, we don't have income, and we don't have money to protect these monuments...... You're students, right? If you have a student ID, you can get a discount of 7%. β
The doorman was also kind, looking the two up and down, and gave them a wake-up call.
Gao Jie looked at Fan Hongyu and smiled, quite complacent. This lesbian, as long as she reaches the age of twenty, her age immediately becomes the top secret, and no one doesn't like others to praise her youth. From the first lady to the housewife, without exception.
Fan Hongyu laughed, pulled Gao Jie to the side of the ticket area to buy tickets, and said in a low voice: "I have a student ID, I don't know if they admit it."
The student ID card of the party school is estimated to be outside the scope of the discount.
Fortunately, Second Brother Fan is a veritable big money and doesn't care about small money.
The two bought tickets and re-entered the door.
"Ruined ......"
Slowly lingering in the magnificent dragon and tiger view, Gao Jiexiu frowned slightly, shook his head, and sighed.
Fan Hongyu also nodded in agreement: "Well, the eyes here are full of impetuousness, where is there still a little quiet artistic conception of people outside the world?"
Any Taoist temple will immediately deteriorate as soon as it becomes a tourist attraction, which is the law of iron, with few exceptions.
"It wasn't like that a few years ago, I knew I wouldn't be here."
Fan Hongyu took the opportunity to say: "Let's go see Zhang Tianshi, have a vegetarian meal, and then go back." If you are in a hurry, you can also go shopping at Hongzhou Department Store and buy a few new clothes. β
Shopping and buying new clothes are also Gao Jie's favorites.
"Hmm."
Gao Jie nodded, a little interested.
Fan Hongyu immediately caught a pilgrim beside him and asked him how to meet Zhang Tianshi.
"You want to see Zhang Tianshi?"
The pilgrim, who was about forty years old, looked Fan Hongyu up and down and asked, looking quite stunned.
"Yes. Is there anything wrong?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know the rules, right? Zhang Tianshi is not something that anyone can see when he says he will see him, only big money and official masters can see his old man, where can ordinary people have that blessing?"
The pilgrim smiled, with pious respect on his face, but he was very disapproving of Fan Hongyu.
Fan Hongyu frowned: "Really?" And such a big rule? Then please tell me, where does Zhang Tianshi live?"
"Well, it's over there, meditate."
The pilgrim pointed forward.
I saw a moon gate in front of me, with three big red lacquer characters in the big book "Meditation Building", and two young men dressed in Taoist costumes stood like javelins on the side of the moon gate, quite strong, but they did not have much of a boundary with the monks, especially the quiet and inaction of Taoism. These two look more like security guards than Taoist priests.
On the side of the moon gate, there is a bright stainless steel sign with the book "Tourists Stop".
Gao Jie said: "Where is this? It seems that the area of this meditation building is wider than that of the main hall. β
"Hehe, you don't know that, do you? This is the place where Zhang Tianshi cultivates enlightenment, and I heard that there is a cave in it. β
The middle-aged pilgrim was obviously a bit talkative and took the initiative to tell him.
Gao Jie was even more puzzled: "Don't have a cave? Is there a cave in there?"
"What kind of cave, I heard that it is a hotel room ......" Speaking of this, the middle-aged pilgrim couldn't help but lower his voice, looked left and right, there was no one else around, and then continued to say mysteriously: "Let me tell you, many officials and rich people have breaded rooms there, and the price is more expensive than the big hotels and hotels...... I've heard that there are a lot of beautiful girls who often live in it. β
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Jie's face and body with the afterglow of his eyes, and his eyes were very ambiguous.
Gao Jie was displeased, and hummed: "Hongyu, let's go, it's okay not to see such a place."
Fan Hongyu seemed to be interested, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's go and have a look." Maybe the rules aren't set in stone. β
"Okay, then go and take a look, but I want to see the pomp and circumstance of this Zhang Tianshi."
Looking at Gao Jie and Fan Hongyu walking towards Jingxinzhu, the middle-aged pilgrim even showed a hint of schadenfreude on his face.
