Chapter 33: Baiyun Temple
"Is this it?" Hu Fei pointed to the map and asked the combat staff officer beside him. The map in front of him was the map that Hu Fei was reporting on when he was reporting at the Second Theater General Staff, and the lieutenant colonel who was in charge of receiving him drew a circle.
"Yes!" The operational staff officer answered categorically. "The painting in this circle is Luliang Mountain. Now we have entered the Luliang Mountains, here, our position is here. The operational staff officer pointed to a little bit on the map and showed it to Hu Fei.
Two days ago, Hu Fei led his troops to leave the theater headquarters and go to the "good place" assigned to him by Chief Yan. The troops walked in the mountains for nearly two days, and only now have they just entered their territory, the Luliang Mountains.
Looking at the endless mountains and green mountains around him, Hu Fei's heart swelled with infinite ambition and pride, the world here is so vast, it is the place where heroes and heroes can display their ambitions!
Feng Yi looked at the surrounding green hills, but his face was a little ugly, "Yayi, are we going to live here for a long time?" β
"Yes, this is our military activity area, of course we will have to live for a long time. How? Are you afraid that you won't get used to it? Hehe, the conditions here are not as good as those in the city. If you don't feel used to it, I'll help you talk to Feige and ask him to send someone to escort you to a big city with good conditions. What do you think of Chongqing? β
"Hmph, thank you Yayi for your kindness. You can get used to it, and so can I! Feng Yi snorted fiercely. Zhang Yayi wanted to use such a simple sentence of rhetoric to deceive her away from Hu Fei, how could she be on this kind of time?
"Did you really decide to stay with us? I'm really afraid that you can't stand the conditions in the mountains, the conditions are really hard. The first is the lack of water, and sometimes it is common not to take a shower for a month or two. You, can you bear it? Zhang Yayi looked at Feng Yi with a pair of caring eyes. She has personal experience of the hardships of life in the mountains, and she is really a little worried about Feng Yi at this time.
Don't take a shower for a month or two? Feng Yi squinted at Zhang Yayi, and a hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of her mouth, "As long as Yayi can bear it, of course I can bear it." Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that Hu Fei seemed to be coming this way, and Feng Yi's face immediately appeared solemn, "The country is being invaded, the people are suffering, what is the point of some personal difficulties?" In order to resist the Japanese, let alone not taking a bath, even if it is bloodshed and sacrificed, I will not hesitate to do it! β
"Good!" Hu Fei applauded, "Xiao Nan said it well!" In order to resist Japan, we must also shed blood and sacrifice! Xiaonan, I didn't expect your ideological realm to be so high, I really underestimated you before! Hu Fei's appreciation made Feng Yi puff up her chest proudly, and Zhang Yayi bit her silver teeth angrily.
The episode passed quickly, and since Hu Fei came to the military activity area assigned to him by the war zone, the first thing he did was of course to find a place to set up camp and set up his nest. For this, Hu Fei doesn't need to be pointed out by others, he himself is an expert in this area.
To settle down in the mountains, the first choice is the Taoist temple. These original buildings not only have ready-made houses to live in, but are generally good in geography and feng shui. When these temples were originally selected, they must have been selected by thousands of people, and future generations could go and live directly with their luggage.
What if there were no temples? If you can't say it, you have to choose your own site if you can't afford it. What water sources, light, ventilation, safety, transportation, etc., all aspects have to be considered. The better the conditions, the less trouble it will be to live in the future.
Hu Fei sent scouts to look at several nearby hills, except for a nunnery on the next hill, there are no other monk temples and old Taoist temples.
For the nunnery, Hu Fei has nothing to reject. However, although those nuns are children of Buddhism, they are still women after all. A group of big men relied on force to seize a nunnery, and it was good to say that it was not good, and Hu Fei himself couldn't do such a lack of morality!
It is obviously necessary not to occupy other people's nunnery, but to visit the nuns in the temple and inquire about the customs and geography of the vicinity.
After settling the team at the foot of the mountain, Hu Fei took dozens of followers to climb the steps to visit Baiyun Nunnery. Hu Fei has already paid attention to it, the horse is not riding, the people are not brought much, and the conversation with people is also pleasant. However, in this way, a group of nuns of all sizes in Baiyun Nunnery were still frightened.
Baiyun Nunnery is built in the mountain, and it is not the usual New Year's festival and there are no pilgrims. In the past, the nuns ate fasting and recited Buddha, purified their hearts and had few desires, where have they seen such people? A large group of strong, fierce old men with knives and guns came to the door, and the nuns in Baiyun Nunnery, led by the presiding teacher, were already weak and their legs trembled.
Hu Fei first pretended to put three sticks of incense on the Buddha's golden body, bowed three times, got up and took out ten oceans from his arms and handed them to Shitai, which was regarded as the incense money for the temple.
It wasn't until he saw the money that the abbot was relieved and hurriedly instructed the apprentices to serve tea to the pilgrims. There are too many pilgrims, so many people just a bowl of tea per person is enough for the nuns to work for a long time, Hu Fei quickly declined.
Mrs. Shi invited the donor to the meditation room to speak. Hu Fei took Zhang Yayi, Feng Yi, Xu Yajun and Gou Tianxiao, the head of the independent group, to follow Shitai to the meditation room, and the others visited the temple at will.
After entering the meditation room and sitting down, Mrs. Shi finally regained some calm. Three of the pilgrims who came in were women, which reassured Mrs. Shi a lot. Of course, the following conversation is inseparable from topics such as preaching the scriptures and preaching, temple management, and so on. Shitai claimed to be called Baiyun Laoni, and was the contemporary abbot of Baiyun Nunnery.
Hu Fei also introduced himself. Sue SΓΉ Teacher Tai, he is an officer of the national army, and he was ordered by the commander to come to the mountains to fight devils. Now I am a newcomer, and I am not familiar with the local situation, so I hope to learn a little basic local information from the temple.
Oh, it turns out that he is an officer of the state! Bai Yun's nervousness was completely let go. If you want to know the situation on the mountain, it's easy to say, just rush to the ten oceans of incense money, and it's time to tell others in detail.
The teacher has lived in this mountain for decades, and she knows what rocks and trees are on the nearby mountains. If she wants to talk about anything else, she may not know, but talking about the geography of the nearby mountains is just opening her mouth. There were two middle-aged nuns standing next to them who were the abbot's apprentices, and the old nuns of Baiyun had something that they couldn't say.
Hu Fei wants to find a cave, the kind of cave that can live in people, it is best to find a few more places. He brought a lot of people, and if he didn't want to occupy other people's nunnery, he had to live in a cave. Anyway, Hu Fei didn't want to cut wood and build a house in the mountains, it would be too troublesome.
"There's a cave three or four miles from here, but it's not a good place for the chiefs to live." The middle-aged nun hesitated a little when she said this.
