At this time, the grass and trees in the mountains smell wet.

Seeing that the time was still early, and by the way, Wu Qing said to Nonglu: "Let's go to Ningzhao'an to play." ”

The ancient tea tree was saved, and the farmer was relaxed, so he agreed.

The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering. But there are always people who have fun in their suffering.

In the Holy Maiden Peak of Qinglian Town, there is a well-known nunnery hidden in the nunnery, called Ningzhao Nunnery, which takes the meaning of "feeling and passing, and silence and learning".

Generally, most of the temples are Qionglou Yuyu, and the incense is vigorous. On the contrary, Ningzhaoan is simple and small, and does not burn incense. In particular, the nunnery is planted with all kinds of strange flowers and plants, winding paths lead to secluded places, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep, and it seems that they are only waiting for people who are destined.

Nonglu and Wuqing must pass through an ancient road to Ningzhao'an.

Legend has it that the Song soldiers were chased and killed by the Yuan soldiers, and came to this mountain forest, and when the Yuan army arrived, the rumbling sound in the mountains, coupled with the fog, the Yuan army did not dare to act rashly, and then withdrew. And the Song army in the mountains unloaded their armor and returned to the field, so it was called Jun Barrier Mountain. This "Jun" is homophonic to "army".

There is a small village at the foot of Junji Mountain, for hundreds of years, the villagers have entered and exited the mountain along the Junzhang Ancient Road, and the firewood and wild fruits in the mountain can be picked up, and slowly, this mountain road has been left.

Junzhang Mountain in the morning, the fog is rising, and it has the meaning of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

At first, it was a flat road, and Nonglu and Wu Qing walked happily and easily, and then began to climb the mountain, the dirt road and the stone path paved with irregular stones stretched under their feet, and Nonglu felt unstable under his feet when he walked in front.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains are filled with the smell of early spring. However, the dead leaves are sparse and have not yet dispersed, and the feet are rustling, so the fallen leaves are not completely buried in the soil. Some of the fallen leaves are on the stones, and it is easy to slip when stepped on.

Nonglu kept reminding Wu Qing behind him, "Be careful of thorns in the trees in front of you" and "Be careful of your step".

At this time, their attention was on their feet, no longer on the beautiful scenery along the way, but on concentrating on each step. In some places, the road is so steep and dangerous that they often have to use their hands and feet to try to grasp the trees, vines and rocks next to them.

So, Nonglu simply got Wu Qing a trekking pole to make it easier for her to climb the mountain to prevent falling. At this moment, they were so strange that they had to stick out their tongues and gasp for air, completely ignoring the humidity of the mountains.

There is a large wild bamboo forest ahead, like a labyrinth. Bamboo forests make up about two-thirds of the entire route. It can really be said that "there are lofty mountains and mountains here, and the forests and bamboos are cultivated".

Bamboo forests are naturally generated, messy, and disorderly.

The dirt on the mountain road is wrapped in stones, and the bamboo grows in the rubble, which is slender and sharp, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of walking.

On the way, the rocks are steep, high and low, and the hands of the two people have to keep peeling off the bamboo in front of them, and they have to beware of tripping over the bamboo poles lying in ambush, and the body needs to pass through the layers of fortified bamboo forests little by little.

The road, as if it could not be called a road, was partly buried in the heavy earth, and often came out to make trouble. The two of them held their breath and stared, and Nonglu kept reminding Wu Qing to "be careful". They marched through the bamboo forest with difficulty.

When I was about to hold on, I finally saw the exit. Nonglu desperately pulled open the bamboo and ran up with Wu Qing. At this time, the two of them relaxed and collapsed on a grassy slope as if they had fallen apart.

After a while, Wu Qing stood up, saw a pool of clear water, and said, "This is Xuanwu Lake." ”

Nonglu also got up and said in a loud voice, "Yes, yes." ”

They climbed up a large rock and saw mountains in the distance and mist in the distance. The surface of the lake is sparkling, quiet as a virgin, just like the artistic conception of "the mountain is like a green snail, and the water is like a jasper hairpin". Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of them, their previous hard work did not seem to be worth mentioning.

Wu Qing is leaning against a big tree, as if resting, and like gazing at the lake under his feet, the hardships along the way gradually precipitate in this moment of calm, temporarily forget the troubles of the world, and obtain spiritual comfort.

Ningzhao Nunnery, just like the name is full of meaning: born in tranquility, near the lake and on the wall, the nunnery is at ease.

Nonglu and Wu Qing ignored the hardships and dangers, went through twists and turns, and finally arrived at Ningzhao'an. According to legend, this Ningzhao Nunnery is a place where people are destined to come. When it comes, there will be some kind of fate quietly generated in it.

The two of them cleaned up the mud on their bodies first, and Wu Qing put down the hair that was coiled up when he walked through the bamboo forest, and then entered the bluestone road in front of the mountain gate, and entered the nunnery, where the flowers were fragrant and the grass was green, like entering the big garden of the palace.

"It's the first time I've come back, and I didn't expect there to be so many flowers here. ”

Wu Qing said: "Yes, it's quite interesting. ”

There are a total of nineteen peaks in this Virgen Peak, Ningzhao Nunnery is hidden on the hill at the southern foot of the Virgen Peak, covering a small area, only two elegant courtyards and a back garden with flower houses.

I don't know what year and month, Ning Zhao'an took root under the Holy Maiden Peak. The most impressive thing is the flourishing of flowers and plants in the hermitage, the courtyard, the front of the stairs, the eaves, and the corridors, everywhere are full of flowers. The mountain gate, the wind chime, the tea room, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the piano room, are scattered and beautiful. These exquisitely planted, well-matched, harmoniously arranged flowers and plants, colorful and fragrant, not only make people feel pity, but also highlight the elegant aesthetic taste and extraordinary horticultural standards.

Compared with other temples, Ningzhao'an is so different: the Daxiong Hall surrounded by flowers, the bright tea house, the classical fireplace, and the old objects placed everywhere, so that the farmer's house fell in love at first sight and couldn't help but be surprised: "How can this be?" ”

Wu Qing said: "That's how it should be. ”

Subsequently, she recited to herself: One flower is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi.

Nonglu saw a line of words on the Buddha platform: "The Buddha said: Sitting and Zen, walking and Zen, a flower and a world, a leaf as it comes, the spring flowers are green, and the autumn leaves are scattered. ”

Although Nonglu is literate and hyphenated, he still knows a little bit about it. Because he had very little contact with Buddhism.

This means that the Buddha and the flower are inherently one, so why stick to hue!

Walking inside, Nonglu saw a "swastika" character of Buddhism posed with a jade butterfly, and he didn't know why, and he felt strange, so he asked Wu Qing: "What does this pattern mean?" ”

Wu Qing replied: "It means auspicious and joyful, and it is extremely auspicious." ”

The Zen hermitage is already a world of flowers, which is indeed incredible: on the steps, on the stone benches, and on the tree stumps, there are all kinds of flowers everywhere, which can be described as ingenious.

Nong Lu said with a smile: "There are so many flowers and plants, I don't know many of them. ”

"You have it in your heart, you don't have to ask for it." Wu Qing said a word of Buddhism.

Looking at the grass and trees, bricks and tiles, and things and states in the nunnery, it is heartwarming. The flowers and trees that have just been moistened by a thick fog are even brighter and more vivid and full of cuteness.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the bamboo board, Wu Qing knew that it was time to break the fast.

Wu Qing said, "Let's go to eat fast, it's delicious." ”

At this moment, Nonglu felt that his stomach was growling, and he was really hungry, so he said, "Okay." ”

There were not many people in the nunnery, and a nun came out of the kitchen and told them the rules of fasting: eat as much as you want, beat as much as you want, don't waste food, waste a grain of rice, and kneel down to stick incense.

Nonglu nodded hurriedly.

So, they enjoyed a rare meal in a poetic setting, and the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the humid air......

The tea room is right next door. After eating, Wu Qing said, "Let's go, drink tea." ”

Nonglu let out an "oh", and was a little curious: "Do you come here often?" ”

"My immortal master brought me here." After speaking, Wu Qing had already entered the tea room.

I saw tea sets, utensils, and flowers, placed on the wooden table in an orderly manner, chic and well-behaved, and it was the first time I had seen such a scene when the farm house was so big.

However, Nonglu's mother mentioned it to him, saying that it is rare to see such a good place in the world!

Drinking tea after fasting is an old rule in the nunnery, where does the farm know this. I saw Wu Qing washing cups, throwing tea, brewing, and dividing soup, all skillful, and after a while, he handed a bowl of steaming and fragrant tea to the farmer's house.

The farmer was already thirsty, no matter whether the tea was hot or not, and whether it was thirty-seven or twenty-one, he poured it into his stomach in one gulp, and he could still hear the sound of the tea entering his throat.

Seeing this, Wu Qing smiled and said, "Drinking tea is slow, why did you finish it in one sip?" ”

Nong Lu also felt that he had lost his temper, smiled, and then said "hehe" twice.

Wu Qing told him that tea is grown on the heavenly tree, which is the essence of all things, full of spirituality, and it is like a demonstration: "You see, we must first smell the fragrance, from which we can understand the essence of nature, through our hearts to perceive, taste, relieve fatigue and annoyance, you will feel that it has a long and mellow taste." ”

Nonglu learned to smell the fragrance and taste the tea according to Wu Qing's appearance, and he felt that his heart seemed to be slowly calming down, and those troubles seemed to be temporarily away from him, and there was a sense of peace and joy in his heart. Nonglu's mother had taught him some tea rituals, but now he was so thirsty that he didn't need to worry about anything else.

Wu Qing continued: "Tea lies in the fact that one person gets quiet, two people get fun, and three people get the finished product. ”

Nong Lu smiled: "Then the two of us are just having fun, right?" ”

Wu Qing said repeatedly, "Yes, yes. ”

At this time, the farm house slowly calmed down, and also found the feeling of tasting tea. The farmer drank another bowl, and then said, "This bowl is so beautiful." ”

Wu Qing explained: "This is called the Sancai Cup, the cover is the sky, the support is the earth, and the bowl is the people, implying the meaning of heaven, earth and people. ”

When Nonglu heard this, he felt that this was quite tasteful, so he said: "Tea tasting is a university question, and it is the same as being a person and doing things." ”

Wu Qing nodded yes.

Nonglu put down the blue and white porcelain bowl and said, "This is really a good place, and I will often come to taste tea when I have time in the future." ”

Wu Qing also agreed: "Of course, come over when you have time." ”

After speaking, Wu Qing brewed another pot of green tea, and the two drank it slowly, and time passed little by little in the warmth of the tea.

I don't know how long I drank it, anyway, the farm house was already full of food and tea: "Let's go down the mountain, I'm afraid my mother is in a hurry." ”

Nonglu is a dutiful son, since his father left, he and his mother have relied on each other, and life has not been easy over the years.

Wu Qing looked at him and said, "Okay then, let's go." ”

After speaking, Wu Qing got up, and the two of them left the tea room and walked outside the nunnery.

Descend the winding bluestone pavement through ancient trees, where swaying hydrangeas lead them down the steps. Looking back, Ningzhao Nunnery is hidden among the yellow walls and green tiles under the towering ancient trees, like a fairyland.

When he came to a pass, although the farm was reluctant, the separation was in front of him, and he said to Wu Qing: "Let's break up here." ”

Although Wu Qing was a little tired, he seemed to be unfinished: "Okay then, we'll have a meeting later." ”

After speaking, he looked at the farm house reluctantly, his eyes full of expectation.

Today's incident, Nonglu was very grateful to Wu Qing, and said with great emotion: "This time, my family's ancient tea tree has been saved, thanks to your rescue, please accept Nonglu's worship." ”

As he spoke, the farmer was about to kneel on the ground.

Wu Qing hurriedly grabbed him: "This can't be helped." ”

At this moment, she felt that the farm house was so simple, like a rock that had never been shaken in the mountain, and a deep love and pity poured out in her heart.

The farm house is down-to-earth, and said seriously: "You are the benefactor of my family, and I will never forget you in my life." ”

Wu Qing said: "You just need to take care of the tea trees." ”

Nonglu said: "You can rest assured about this, even if you work hard, I will also serve the tea tree well!" ”

Wu Qing hurriedly stopped his words: "Who made you desperate." Then, a girl's silver bell-like laugh rang out.

Nonglu also laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm hard-hearted. ”

After speaking, the two said goodbye in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
