Chapter Twenty-Eight: Longmen Mountain
The sky is clear and the sun is shining. The fresh air of this era made Xiao Mo a little intoxicated. The half-withered pear tree at the door, after Xiao Mo and Xiaoya moved here, kept watering, and there were signs of rebirth.
Xiao Mo'er changed into the green shirt under the supervision of the little girl, and his hair was tied up with a ribbon at random, looking quite like a handsome boy. However, brushing your teeth is still a pain that cannot be changed.
Xiao Mo is still quite interested in going to Longmen Mountain, and most of the time he has been bored at home these days, and it is also very good to go out to climb the mountain and relax. It's just that Xiao Mo couldn't understand why Grandma Wang would think of going to the grottoes of Longmen Mountain to pray for blessings, although there is no shortage of temples there, and there are countless Buddha statues. But it is indeed a little strange to put the famous White Horse Temple, the first ancient temple in Luodu, and go to the more remote Longmen Grottoes.
This Longmen Grottoes is located on Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan on both sides of the Yi River in the southern suburbs of Luodu. Later generations were famous all over the world, but at this time, the Great Sui was not famous.
Buddhism was relatively popular in the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was in a period of vigorous development throughout the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui himself had a close relationship with Buddhism, and was brought up by a nun in a nunnery since he was a child, and this nun also gave him the Buddha's name "Na Luoyan", so Yang Jian was naturally a supporter of Buddhism. With the support of the imperial court, Buddhism naturally spread widely in the Great Sui.
Xiao Mo, as a junior, naturally came to Grandma Wang's house early when he was ready, and it would be a sin to let a kind old man wait for him.
Wang Zhiming lived directly in Grandma Wang's small courtyard yesterday, and he didn't know what he thought about this product, so he finally came out for a trip, but he didn't go to fool around. Early in the morning, he was wandering around the yard, and when he saw Xiao Mo coming from afar, he snorted lightly in his nose, as if he was still worried about Xiao Mo and Xiaoya bullying him yesterday.
As soon as Xiao Mo entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Zhiming dressed as a son-in-law. Wang Zhiming didn't look at Xiao Mo and Xiaoya at this time, looking very arrogant. Xiao Mo knew at a glance that this thing was still angry. Then he stepped forward and said gently: "Brother Zhiming, good morning!" Yesterday's incident is really my fault, so I can't compensate you! ”
As soon as Wang Zhiming heard this, his stiff face relaxed, and then his cheap mouth cracked, and he said very arrogantly: "Just say that you will regret it, right?" Seeing that you are still sincere, I won't care about you. ”
This time, Sixi did not use ox carts, but prepared three good carriages. Xiao Mo thinks about it, it is quite a long way from here to Longmen Mountain, although the ox cart is gentle and steady, but the speed is really too slow, in case the cow is in a bad mood and is not willing to climb the mountain, I am afraid that the time of the day is not enough.
Out of Luodu, the three carriages sped up. Grandma Wang naturally sat in a carriage in the middle, and was taken care of by Huan'er and Xiaoya.
The little girl was originally going to follow her young master, but she was finally driven by Xiao Mo to Grandma Wang's car. It is indeed a little inappropriate for a little girl to follow two big men into a car.
For Xiao Mo, the purpose of going to Longmen Mountain is not to worship Buddha, but to play and relax, and see places of interest. Xiao Mo felt that he came to this world very strangely, as an atheist, and experienced this kind of strange thing, it was really difficult for Xiao Mo to believe in gods and Buddhas again.
In these days, Xiao Mo has gradually adapted to this era, but the change of mentality is not something that can be done in a while, and Xiao Mo has never been used to many etiquettes and behaviors, so there are always some things on Xiao Mo's body that are out of step with the times, which makes Xiao Mo very conspicuous in the crowd.
Although there are many rules such as etiquette and behavior in this era, it is a very enlightened era, "Kaihuang Law" as a model law of the feudal legal system, even a male lord like Li Shimin has to follow, just from the ancient flesh punishment is not used, the evaluation of the benevolence of the Han language, it can be seen that the Great Sui is a benevolent country, at least during the reign of Emperor Wen.
Xiao Mo was very glad that he came to the Great Sui, if Xiao Mo came to the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it is estimated that Xiao Mo would be identified as a heretic and executed.
Wang Zhiming was lying on the soft couch, crossing Erlang's legs, drinking a cup of tea that Xiao Mo refused to drink. I kept muttering: "I really don't know what grandma thinks, don't go to a good temple, I have to go all the way to see a few broken stones, and what else to say, if you have a Buddha in your heart, you are a true Buddha, don't do it deliberately!" It's really boring, and I don't know how Ben Shao's brain is hot, alas, Brother Xiao, you said, such a rare opportunity, we should go out and have fun, like Sihailou is a good place to go! Not to mention the four compounds! “
Seeing that Xiao Mo closed his eyes and didn't answer, Wang Zhiming didn't care, took a sip of tea, snorted with satisfaction, and continued: "Brother Xiao, you are really not kind, Yuhan Fairy Fairy-like person, you actually eat alone." That's a million drops! I'm familiar with this Sihailou, you're familiar with Yuhan Fairy, let's have a discussion, okay? I'll take you to Sihailou, how about you take me to see Fairy Yuhan? “
Wang Zhiming looked at Xiao Mo with an obscene expression, but found that Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to him, and suddenly the whole person was not good, and he was a little dissatisfied: "Oops! You're still ignoring me! You ignored me for such a good offer! I said, it's only been a few days? You have a good temper. Amazing, is it famous? Tell you, young master, I have been a celebrity in Luodu since I was a child, who doesn't know me wherever I go? Even in the imperial capital Daxing, he has a lot of fame, do you see if the young master and I am arrogant because of my fame? Isn't it still so amiable, don't you have a little bit of a shelf, don't you know how to learn from the young master? You're still playing music with Young Master Ben, aren't you? It's really annoying to me. “
"Stop, stop." Seeing that Wang Zhiming didn't seem to be ready to stop nagging, Xiao Mo hurriedly interrupted: "You just take a break, wipe your saliva first, it's not impossible for you to see Yun Yuhan, as long as Old Man Wang has no opinion, I naturally have no opinion."
When Wang Zhiming heard that he could see the Yuhan Fairy, his saliva was rising instead of disappearing, and there was a tendency to tick and tick. But when he heard that he wanted his old man to agree, he slammed his head on the roof of the carriage, "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts." It hurt me. You really can't open any pot! Wang Zhiming touched his head and squatted beside Xiao Mo with a painful look, but he didn't know if he was suffering from his own head, or if he couldn't see Fairy Yuhan.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Wang Zhiming jumped out of the carriage, hurriedly ran to the next carriage, and complained to Grandma Wang, who had just gotten off the carriage, with a resentful face: "Grandma, grandson can be bullied by Xiao Mo miserably, grandson originally wanted to invite Xiao Mo to go to Sihailou with him to show the elegance of a literati, but he dislikes his grandson and refuses to go with his grandson, you have to give your grandson a good evaluation."
Xiao Mo could only look helpless when he saw this, as for Grandma Wang, how could she not understand her grandson, she touched Wang Zhiming's head and said softly: "Okay, as long as you are willing to study and improve, grandma will let Xiao Mo go with you, of course, you can't mess around."
Hearing this, Wang Zhiming raised his head and looked arrogant, but the saliva stains on the corners of his mouth seemed to explain something silently.
This carriage could not go directly to the grotto, and the road at this time was far less flat and wide than in later generations, and there was a distance that needed to be walked on foot.
However, today's weather is also sunny, and there is a gentle breeze around me, which feels very comfortable.
In this era, mountains, forests, trees, rivers, seas and lakes have not been destroyed, many primeval forests still exist, and there is no such thing as a greenhouse effect. The suitability of the climate and the clarity of the air are the points that Xiao Mo is most satisfied with in this era so far.
