Chapter 147: Yuntou Mountain Immortal Gu Temple
When the family left Cuiyuan Community, Gao Yang drove the car and took his parents to Minghai Hotel. Originally, Gao Yang thought that it would be enough to find an ordinary hotel, but if he thought that the second elder rarely came to see him once, he would let them see the five-star hotel!
When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Gao Yang went in smoothly, but his parents stopped him by the security guards. The reason is because Gao Qianyuan and Li Chunhua are not very well dressed. According to the regulations, men are required to wear suits. But Gao Qianyuan only wore an old Mao suit, and of course the security guards didn't let him in.
But this little thing can't help Gao Yang, he has experienced it himself before. This time he repeated his old trick and gave two security guards a tip of 200 yuan each, and the matter was settled.
Gao Qianyuan and Li Chunhua have never been to a big hotel, let alone a five-star hotel, and now when the two of them enter the lobby of the hotel, they feel like they have entered the palace. The eyes are not enough, look here, turn there.
"Son, this hotel is so luxuriously decorated! How is it the same as the palace! Gao Qianyuan asked his son while looking at the luxurious facilities around him.
"Dad, the highest-level hotel in Minghai is five-star, can it not be luxurious!" Gao Yang smiled and began to beckon his parents to sit at a dining table.
"Son, you're wasting money again! Why do you want to go to such a high-class place! Just go to a small restaurant. Li Chunhua also blamed her son for being extravagant and wasteful!
"Mom and Dad, it's rare for you to come to the city once, do I have to pay homage too! This restaurant is very expensive, but we just listen to a meal, and we don't eat every day, it's fine. It doesn't cost a few bucks. I didn't look at it, I didn't even ask for a private room. It's in the middle of the hall, and the food here is cheaper! Gao Yang watched his mother teach him a lesson. He explained with a smile.
"Yes! Spring flowers, it's hard to come out once, let your son be filial! If it weren't for our son's ability, we would never have been able to enter this five-star hotel in our lives! Gao Qianyuan is a person who loves to eat, he wants to taste the taste of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in a five-star hotel!
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, Gao Yang hurriedly asked the waiter to serve the food. We'll go back after eating, and we'll see the temple fair tomorrow! ”
Li Chunhua saw that her son and Lao Tzu were willing to eat in this five-star restaurant, and she didn't say anything, but asked Gao Yang to quickly call the waiter to serve the food.
Gao Yang called a waiter, ordered a few moderately priced dishes, and then waited for the waiter to serve the food.
A few minutes later, the waiter brought the dish up.
Gao Yang will accompany his parents to eat together. The family chatted while eating, and it was easy to have a good time.
About an hour later, Gao Yang and his parents finished eating. I drove back to the Cuiyuan community. Dinner was not eaten out, but a family meal of dumplings together.
After dinner, Gao Yang watched TV with his parents for a while. Since Gao Yang's room is now equipped with a high-end LCD TV, Gao Qianyuan and Li Chunhua haven't seen it yet! They watched it at home. It's just an ordinary color TV! I have seen such a high-level TV, and the two studied it for a long time, and Gao Yang gave them guidance on the side. Laughing while talking, my parents haven't seen the market!
After watching TV, the family went back to the house to rest. Nothing to say.
The next day, early in the morning. Gao Yang had already gotten up first, he went to the gate of the community to buy some xiaolongbao and fried dough sticks and soy milk, and then returned to the house, called the second elder up, and let them eat breakfast together.
After eating breakfast, he drove to the Xiangu Temple with his parents.
Xiangu Temple is located in the far suburbs of Minghai City, forty or fifty kilometers away from the city. Gao Yang drove the car, and it took about two hours to arrive.
When he arrived at the gate of the temple, Gao Yang parked his car in the parking lot he pointed, and then went to the ticket office to buy three more tickets, and entered the temple gate with his parents.
The Xiangu Temple is built on the top of a big mountain, this mountain is called Yuntou Mountain, and the Wolong Mountain in Huangjia Village is a mountain system. It's just that the mountain of Xiangu Temple is very tall, so it is called Yuntou Mountain, which means that the mountain is already next to the clouds.
If you want to go to the Xiangu Temple, it is not for fun, from the temple gate to the main building on the top of the mountain - the Xiangu Palace, you have to climb more than a thousand steps, if you are not a young person, if you are too old it is difficult to climb to the Xiangu Hall on the top of the mountain.
But Gao Yang's family has no problem, although his parents are also forty or fifty years old, but after all, they are farmers, and they are often used to working at home, and their bodies are strong, so this fatigue is nothing to them.
Li Chunhua not only didn't feel tired, but also excited! She likes to go to some temples to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and now when she sees a fairy temple on the top of the mountain, she wants to climb up quickly!
In this way, she climbed faster than Gao Yang and Gao Qianyuan, a family of three, she was a woman, but she climbed to the front.
"Hey! I said son! Husband! You two are not men! Why haven't I climbed as fast as I can! Can you hurry up and be like a man. ”
Li Chunhua was in a hurry to see the Xiangu Palace, so she climbed very fast, naturally surpassing Gao Yang and Gao Qianyuan, but she couldn't go up alone, so she stood on a high place, condescending, but she counted her son and husband.
Gao Yang listened, but he also made a joke about his mother.
"Mom, you said we are not men, so are you women! How can you climb faster than us men! Can you be like a woman! ”
"Yes! Wife, you slow down, it's not a race, why are you running so fast! Beware of flashing your old waist. "Gao Qianyuan also began to count his wife!
"You, you two are 'bullying' weak women again, aren't you? Well, I'll wait for you. Li Chunhua listened to Gao Yang's words, and she blushed a little. had to climb up slowly, so that her son and husband could catch up with her.
In this way, the family talked and laughed again, climbed for half an hour, and finally climbed to the fairy palace on the top of the mountain.
To be honest, although Gao Yang has been in Minghai for half a year, he has not been to this tourist attraction yet! Since he has been working hard for his career, he has time to travel and have fun!
Gao Yang saw that the Immortal Gu Hall was located on the top of the mountain of Qutou Mountain. Although Yuntou Mountain is tall, there is a flat land on the top of the mountain. This is also the reason why it was able to build a temple on it.
There is a main hall and two side halls in the Xiangu Palace, the building is tall and majestic, the gold is brilliant, it is very magnificent.
In fact, at the beginning, the Xiangu Temple was not as grand as it is now, just a few small tiled houses in tatters. It was only later that with the economic development of Minghai City, the tourism industry gradually became vigorous, so that the municipal government invested tens of millions of dollars to rebuild the Xiangu Temple, and also made a lot of publicity advertisements, so that the Xiangu Temple became a famous tourist attraction in Minghai City.
Any tourist attraction has some legends, and the Xiangu Temple is no different. Gao Yang read some introductions and knew the origin of the Xiangu Temple.
It really means, compared with some other tourist attractions, the legend here is too simple, and it is simply said in one sentence.
Legend has it that once upon a time there was a village at the foot of Tou Mountain, and there was an old man in the village, an old bachelor, forty or fifty years old, and there was no object. One night, he had a dream in which a beautiful fairy girl descended from the clouds to the top of Yuntou Mountain, stayed for a while, and then flew away again.
Later, the people in this village, after listening to the old man's dream words, felt that there were immortals blessing their village with peace and security! So he raised funds to hire someone to build a small temple on the top of the mountain, and named it Xiangu Temple, just to commemorate the fairy Gu who passed by.
Gao Yang first took a look at the legend of the Xiangu Temple outside the main hall, and then entered the main hall with his parents.
The main hall is very tall and majestic, about ten meters high, completely antique building, and there are eight large pillars the size of a bucket in the main hall to support the roof of the whole wooden structure.
Entering the main hall, the first thing that comes into view is, of course, the 'hostess' of the Xiangu Temple. That is, the legendary fairy statue.
This statue is very well sculpted, and the whole statue is an image of a female Taoist girl sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform. This Dao Gu has a beautiful face, skin like snow, a phoenix crown, gorgeous clothes, a realistic image, and a touching appearance. It can be seen that the craftsman who sculpted this statue must also be a master-level figure.
After all, is it the Xiangu Temple invested and built by the municipal government, and the craftsmen invited are by no means ordinary people. For the most important figure statue in the Xiangu Temple, it must also be a master with the highest craftsmanship.
Gao Yang looked at the image of the fairy girl in front of him, which naturally reminded him of the image of the 'fairy girl' he saw in his hometown Jiutian Niangniang Temple before, but although the fairy girl in his hometown Jiutian Niangniang Temple is quite famous, but because the temple was built in an ordinary village, the overall image cannot be compared with this fairy girl.
On both sides of this fairy statue, there are two standing little fairy figures, of course, they are the maids of the fairy girl. Although it is a 'supporting role', it is also very realistically sculpted, standing there slim, with fluttering clothes, very beautiful.
All three statues are placed on a long platform. Therefore everyone who comes in must look up to their countenance. This is also the general rule of building temple fairy statues, since they are immortals, then ordinary people must look up to others, so that the immortals appear tall!
In front of the statue of the fairy girl is a large incense burner, and countless thick incense candles are burning inside.
On the ground in front of the statue of the fairy girl, there are several one-meter-square futons, which are used by the guests to kneel and worship the fairy girl.
The hall is crowded with people, some admire the statue of the fairy girl, and some give incense to the fairy girl, kneel down to worship the fairy girl, and ask the fairy girl to bless the family with peace and security. (To be continued......)
