Looking north from the wall of the imperial palace of Dali City, the tall towers that stand beside the river bank are the stupas in the most famous Chongsheng Temple in Dali.

These majestic towers built hundreds of years ago are still standing after countless ups and downs, witnessing the rise and development of Dali.

Dali is a heavy Buddha, which is very different from the Central Plains heavy Confucianism. So when Buddhism was introduced to Dali from the west, it was probably the day when these stupas were built. And this Chongsheng temple has become the national temple of Dali, and is admired by the people of Dali. Even those white and Yi people who do not believe in Buddhism have a certain reverence in their hearts. At the beginning of spring every year, the emperor of Dali is to worship the Buddha in the temple, in order to ask for a year of wind and rain in Dali. The most interesting thing is that several emperors in Dali once abandoned the throne and a large number of wives and children, but chose to abdicate and become monks, and ran to the temple to become monks.

However, the world only knows the Dali Temple at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, but very few people know that the real Chongsheng Temple is built on the top of Cangshan Mountain.

On the contrary, Duan Zhong knows.

Zongzi pulled the collar and blew out a white mist, the originally dark skin was already a little pale from the cold, looking at Duan Zhong who was climbing the mountain on the side, he said, "Boss, I'm still a little cold." ”

Duan Zhong spat at the foam, glanced at the zongzi, and thought to himself that he had already thrown the padded jacket he was wearing to him, and he was still wearing a single clothes, what else could he do.

He stomped his feet fiercely towards the snow-covered land, rubbed his little hands that were already red from the cold, and continued to hurry.

"Boss, how long will it take us to get there? What exactly is the temple you are talking about? ”

Duan Zhong stopped, looked up, pointed to the highest mountain in the distance and said, "See?" The highest mountain is called Malone Peak, and behind the peak, there is the Chongsheng Temple. We...... Almost there. ”

Zongzi looked at Ma Long Peak, which was still very far away, and infinite resentment rose in his heart, as if there was a voice echoing infinitely in the mountains and forests: It's almost there...... Almost there...... It's ......

————————————————————————————————————————

"Boss, I'm hungry......"

Duan Zhong sighed, reached out and touched the inside of the package, and found that the dry food he brought was already exhausted...... Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "Everything has been eaten by you." You've been out twice since you went up the mountain, and you really don't know what your stomach and intestines are made of. ”

Zongzi shook his head confidently: "I have a good appetite, boss, you know." ”

"Bear with me. We're almost there......" Duan Zhong shook his head, climbed a few steps up, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned, because they ...... It's really here.

Malone Peak, the highest peak of Diancang Mountain. Standing on the top of the peak and looking down, all the scenery is under your nose, through the white mist of the clouds, you can see the Chongsheng Pagoda standing on the shore of Erhai Lake from a distance, and see the city wall of Dali Palace...... Seeing the snow-capped rolling horizon stretching into the distance, the scenery is beyond the reach of a simple magnificence.

Duan Zhong felt that it was too refreshing, and it was estimated that this scenery was dwarfed by the Alps, and only by coming to the top of Cangshan Mountain in person could he feel such a feeling of transcendence from the world.

Duan Zhong admired the beautiful scenery enough, turned around, and patted Zongzi on the shoulder: "Look, Chongsheng Temple." ”

————————————————————————————————————————

Diancang Mountain is the main peak at the southern end of the Yunling Mountains. From north to south, there are nineteen peaks, each of which is extremely high and covered with perennial snow and ice. And Malone Peak is the highest peak of Diancang Mountain.

In the valley between Malone Peak and Yuju Peak, a small piece of flat land was reclaimed by manpower and a small temple covering an area of three or four acres was built. And this temple is the real Chongsheng Temple.

After a lot of hardships, Duan Zhong and Zongzi finally came to the gate of this legendary temple.

This temple is very broken, and it is the first impression of Duan Zhong and Zongzi. The plaque engraved with "Chongsheng Temple" hanging at the entrance of the temple is extremely mottled, and the original vermilion lacquer characters have lost their color.

The stone steps in front of the temple gate are covered with snow, and there is not a trace of human tracks, and it is clear that no one has been to this temple for a long time, and it is clear that no one has been ...... I've been out of this temple.

And under the temple gate, there are still two little novices, holding brooms, sweeping a little open space in front of the door......

Duan Zhong and Zongzi were extremely excited, looking at the long-awaited treasure land in front of them, they forgot about the cold and hunger, quickened their pace, and walked along the stone steps step by step.

200 meters...... One hundred and fifty meters...... 100 meters...... Fifty meters...... It's close.

The two novices, who were sweeping the snow in front of the door, finally looked up and saw the two guests who had come here, and there was a panicked look in their eyes. actually threw away the broom directly, ran into the second, and closed the door with a bang.

Duan Zhong and Zongzi looked at each other, thinking why the little novice in this temple was so afraid of life? sighed helplessly...... Walked to the door, picked up the knocker, and buckled it down.

No one answered.

Buckle again.

Still no one answered.

Repeated buckles.

Still no one should ......

Zongzi was a little discouraged: "Why don't they open the door?" ”

Duan Zhong shook his head, and suddenly remembered the passages in some third-rate novels in his previous life: Whoever goes to the temple to learn art, in order to test whether his heart is enough to the city, he often has to let the visitor kneel at the gate of the temple for a day and a night. When the master inside feels that your heart is sincere enough, he will open the door of the mountain and give him two orders, so that he will become a peerless powerhouse in a very short time......

Of course, this is just Duan Chong's obscenity, and Duan Chong has also told a lot of such stories to Zongzi. And the old ancestor in the temple will naturally not be a monk who has attained the Tao, at best he is just a more courageous martial idiot. Although no one dared to say that in front of the old guy.

So when Zongzi asked Duan Zheng if he didn't kneel at the door all night, Duan Zhong glared at Zongzi fiercely: "Kneel your sister ......"

"Is the Flying Claw I gave you still there?"

Zongzi nodded.

"Very well, let's go over the wall and go in."

"But ......"

"Nothing." With that, Duan Zhong took out the flying claw from his arms, threw it to the wall very skillfully, and climbed up along the rope. Zongzi smiled bitterly twice, and also threw out the flying claws.

Although this temple is extremely broken, the walls are extremely high. Of course, in the face of the two Duanzhong masters and servants with flying claws, no matter how high the wall is, it is not a problem.

However, seeing that Duan Chong's hands were about to climb the wall, Duan Chong's flying claws had no reason...... Broken. And the hook also fell inside the temple.

Duan Zhong wiped his buttocks, but fortunately, the snow on the root of the wall was extremely thick, so he didn't break his buttocks, looked at the zongzi who was also touching his buttocks, and smacked hard: "Fuck, the old guy in there doesn't want us to go in." ”

Duan Zhong is an extremely well-cultivated person in this life, and there are very few foul mouths.

Zongzi touched his deflated stomach and sighed: "I'm hungry...... You won't starve, will you? ”

Duan Zhong was also hungry. So he glared fiercely at the legendary Chongsheng Temple, as if this look had ignored the high walls and window doors, and smashed into the heart of some old monster in the temple. Turned around and said: "What are you afraid of, with me, I won't die of hunger." Let's catch snow hares. ”

——————————————————————————————————————————

The peaks of Diancang Mountain are covered with snow all year round, and there are very few creatures, but the snow rabbit is one of the very few creatures on the snow peaks of Diancang Mountain. Moreover, the fur is very thick and the meat is of good quality, so many residents in the vicinity are willing to take the risk and come to the snow line to catch snow rabbits. If ordinary people catch a snow rabbit and sell it in the market of Dali City, this price can maintain the livelihood of an ordinary family for a month.

Duan Zhong and Zongzi were facing the cold wind at the moment, running and chasing in the white snow. And the target of the chase is the snow rabbit who has been running wildly.

The two of them followed two directions around the snow rabbit, and when they saw that they were about to succeed, the two of them kicked their feet at the same time and pounced on the snow rabbit, only to hear the sound of "dong", which was two screams, and their heads hit one place. And what about the snow hare? Naturally, it ran away.

Zongzi didn't understand it very much, because with the speed of his own sword, I was afraid that with just one stroke, he would be able to pierce this snow rabbit. However, his own boss let himself ...... Catch alive. It's all going to be roasted and eaten, isn't it the same whether it's dead or alive?

Duan Zhong covered his bulging forehead, and he didn't care about the pain, shouting "Keep chasing me" and ran towards the snow rabbit again. However, running in the snow, how can these two seven-year-old boys compare to the snow rabbit who is very dexterous in itself? Seeing that the rabbit was already running farther and farther, it was about to be out of sight of the two. Zongzi looked depressed, the strength in his heart was wasted, but his stomach was gone.

Duan Zhong also got up, green smoke was rising above his head, and the temperature of his body rose rapidly, and he was about to melt the snow all over the mountains into water. But Duan Zhong didn't dare to do this, because if Du Rong, this Dali City would be flooded by the water of Erhai Lake...... So Duan Zhong gave up the pursuit and began to scold his mother.

Seeing that the rabbit was about to disappear, suddenly the snow fell, and the whole rabbit fell into the snow and did not come out for a long time.

Zongzi was stunned, and Duan Zhong was also stunned. I just didn't understand what was going on. Finally, after a long period of thinking, Duan Chong looked up to the sky and laughed: Lao Tzu is really a genius.

It turned out that just now, when Duan Zhong and Zongzi were searching for hares, our little prince suddenly thought...... Out of the gong. And out of royal reserve, Duan Zhong naturally didn't want to anywhere, so he thought of a compromise solution, which was to dig a pit in the snow with his sword...... When the convenience is finished, bury it with soil.

However, as soon as they took off their pants, the two found a snow hare running in the snow. Before our second prince could do anything earth-shattering, he lifted his pants and chased after the snow rabbit.

And there is a providence in the dark, this snow rabbit actually fell into the "pit" dug by our second prince when he successfully escaped, the breath of this emperor's family is too domineering and against the sky......

So Duan Zhong laughed and laughed very happily. Even if you yourself, you can do a great job.
