Chapter 2 Ascending Emei at night to view the icon

Emei is beautiful in the world, Qingcheng is secluded in the world, Jianmen is dangerous in the world, and Kuimen is male in the world.

When it comes to Emei, if you don't count the exterminator in the martial arts novel, Taiyi Tianjian and the like, the most impressive thing may be the golden dome and the monkey.

Emei Golden Peak, also known as Huazang Temple, is located on the main peak of Emei Mountain in Sichuan Province, 3077 meters above sea level, was built in the Tang Dynasty, the roof is covered by tin tile, and is also called "Silver Top" in the Yuan Dynasty. On the side of the temple, there is a woyun hermitage, and there are canteens and guest rooms for tourists to eat and stay.

In the golden dome, you can watch the four wonders of Emei - sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, and holy lamp. The golden dome is adjacent to the top of a thousand Buddhas and the top of ten thousand Buddhas, and there are also buildings on the top of ten thousand Buddhas, and there is a sightseeing cableway connecting the golden top and the leading hall.

The above introduction to the Golden Dome comes from my search on the Internet, although I have not been there, but there is no doubt that at first glance these do not seem to make any sense, and there is no record of a spring pavilion on the Golden Dome on the Internet.

There is no way, I can't let the clues be broken here, so I have to ask the locals carefully after arriving at the place to see if there are any legends or records in this regard.

Put away my phone, take my luggage, and wait quietly for the plane to take off in the waiting room, constantly thinking about whether the road will go smoothly and what will happen on the way, when suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder from behind.

"Brother Chuan, don't pay attention to it, and don't tell me about such a big thing."

The person who spoke was actually Shen Lang, I couldn't help frowning, this is my private matter, I don't want others to get involved, why did he come.

"It's not the day of the class reunion, just your virtue, others don't know I don't know, I don't know, I don't know it, I don't know it, it's over, Sun Zhen called you out, I'm afraid he will trouble you, so I secretly followed the two of you, I didn't expect to hear such a big secret."

Before I could ask him, he was talking about why he was here.

"Yes, go back quickly, I'm not traveling this time, since you heard it, I won't hide it from you, this is something I have to deal with, you don't need to go with me."

I said impatiently, I wanted him to go back soon.

"Brother Chuan, you can see the outside world when you say this, our brothers have not known each other for a year or two, I have nothing to do these days and just want to go to Emei to have a round, besides, you go by yourself, you will starve to death if you don't look for a few days."

Shen Lang was merciless and pointed out my biggest problem to the point.

“......”

After listening to him, I was speechless.

Unlike him, he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and he has never experienced the days of no money, and although I am not hungry and cold, I also live with my fingers broken every month, because I also submitted my resignation this time, if I go all the way to the dark, I may really stop this search because of the shyness in my pocket.

Although Shen Lang's family is wealthy, he is not the kind of person who is not kind to the rich, although he is cheap, but there has really been no problem in big things, I also know that he is a person, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and it is an excuse to say that he wants to travel to Emei, in fact, he cares about me and wants to accompany me, afraid that something will happen to me alone.

Forget it, let's go together, besides, look at his face, King Wen Weishui meets the appearance of a virtuous, although I don't dare to call myself King Wen, but it seems that I really have to rely on his help to go this time, and there will be a response along the way.

I patted him on the shoulder hard, and I remembered that I was a big man, and I couldn't say anything too hypocritical, and it was no longer necessary to say anything thankful or not.

Shen Lang took my ticket and upgraded, and I fell asleep on the plane unconsciously after enjoying first class for the first time, and in my dream I seemed to see a person staring at me at the golden dome, for a long, long time......

There were no books all the way, with the roar of the plane, we arrived at the destination of the trip, it was late, I simply found a place to stay, ready to rest first, and then start the trip to the Golden Dome the next day.

……

Early the next morning, Shen Lang and I started this trip to Emei, such a big Emei Mountain, it is destined to be not so easy to find.

Walking here, it is like a fairyland on earth. Sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, holy lamp, Wannian Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Jiulao Cave, Sheshen Cliff. Walked all over Emei and did not find where there is a spring pavilion, the pavilion did see one, but it is not a spring pavilion but a washing pavilion, in desperation, I had to go to the golden top to find another opportunity, just arrived at the golden top, I couldn't help but be shocked by the huge statue of the ten directions.

The 48-meter-high statue of Shifang Fuxian on the golden top is the world's tallest golden Buddha and the center of the Emei golden dome. The ten avatars of Fugen are divided into three layers, with different expressions, representing the ten mentalities of the world.

The first layer on the back of the white elephant is the four-headed image and two-sided body of the Bodhisattva; The second layer is the four-headed statue of Fuxian Bodhisattva; The top layer is the head of the Bodhisattva before and after. The inside of the statue is a 484-square-meter Buddha nave, which enshrines the bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha, and the Buddha statue is carved in white marble around it.

The front of the icon holds Ruyi, riding a six-tusked holy icon; On the other side, the seal of Atuo is fixed, and the six sentient beings appear to be the meaning of the four wisdom Bodhi. The equality of "universal" is not hindered, and "virtuous" is everywhere. The dazzling golden statue of Fugen will shock every visitor without suspense, and produce a kind of awe born from the heart.

Looking at the huge Fugen icon, my eyes suddenly ached, and I couldn't see the specific details of the icon clearly, as if there was something in the icon that invisibly stimulated my eyes.

In desperation, I had to leave Jinding for the time being, and shouted to Shen Lang to go down the mountain with regret and make another plan.

At three o'clock in the morning, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of the wind, and found that the window that had been closed before going to bed was actually opened at some point, and there was an extra stone in the house, and under the stone was a note.

The sky is bright at the spring pavilion, and the statue of Emei is seen at night.

Hurriedly waking Shen Lang up, we began to study the sudden news.

There is no doubt that this person knows what I am going to investigate, and except for Sun Zhen, who told me about it, and Shen Lang, who came with me, no one else knows the purpose of my trip.

Since this person can point out the Spring Appreciation Pavilion and tell me such a specious sentence in this way, there is only one possibility.

He was following me all the way!

While we were thinking about it, a stone was thrown again from the window we didn't close with the sound of breaking the air, the same stone, the same note, but the content on the note was different, and the new content made the two of us break out in a cold sweat.

Don't be afraid, if I wanted to harm you, I would have poisoned the dragon well under your table.

This man can see us!

It might be alarmist if he just said that our water is not safe, but he details the correct type and location of the water, and at the same time knows our real purpose, maybe it is really as he said, he does not want to harm us, but he must be watching us!

At this moment, we have no choice but to believe that there is no other way than to believe that he has no other way.

It was almost dawn, I thought about it for a while, and decided to prepare things with Shen Lang during the day, and wait until the evening to go to the Golden Dome to see how to see this holy icon.

Inexplicably, this matter has become more and more weird, and I can only continue, there is no escape.

Night flashlight, hiking boots, tents, individual combat rations, Luoyang shovels, knives for self-defense......

Shen Lang and I have prepared a lot of things that I don't know if we can use, and those who don't know may think that we are going to rob the tomb and explore the treasure, but in fact, we can't control the panic.

In 1927, Lovecraft said this in "Supernatural Terror in Literature".

The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear comes from the unknown.

I didn't think much of it when I saw it for the first time, and it wasn't until this moment that I really understood this sentence.

Just imagine, deep in the mountains, ancient temples, night walks, and someone next to you is watching your every move, even if you know that he will not harm you for the time being, your heart will be filled with fear.

Especially Shen Lang, with a figure of more than 1.90 meters, a fierce and vicious appearance, but he is as timid as a mouse, and it is difficult for him, and he can't help but feel a little guilty when he accompanies me to such a step.

"It's okay Brother Chuan, I know what you want, just when I practice my courage, it's not like that, the old man is afraid of the dark, don't think about it."

Shen Lang comforted me with a trembling tone but still hardened, and I could only smile slightly and keep this sentiment in my heart.

It's just that neither he nor I expected at the time that everything we would encounter from now on would be more weird and unbelievable than now.

In the early hours of the morning, I wanted to secretly go to Jinding while he was asleep, but as soon as I came together, I saw him looking at me directly, full of wine, and I felt that this guy was actually using wine to strengthen his courage.

Come on, let's go, pack your things and run to the Dome of the Golden Dome to deal with my first obstacle in my path.

Sneaking into the mountain gate, because of the early hours of the morning, there was no one on the way, and the lively scene of crowding people during the day was like a ghost town at this time, which made people can't help but feel palpitations.

The closer I got to the Golden Dome, the more nervous I felt, as if I had a strange emotion, and my intuition told me that I had been to this place before, but the conscience of heaven and earth, I had never been to Emei in my childhood experience.

At last I reached the Golden Dome, and unlike during the day, the icon looked more majestic in the night when no one was around, but for some reason, I still couldn't see it clearly. There is no way, I have to wait a little longer to see if there will be any variables.

After waiting quietly for a long time, the sky was faintly bright, and I seemed to be able to see the appearance of the icon suddenly, and when I looked up closely, I fell into shock as soon as I saw the icon.

At that moment, it was as if everything in the world had disappeared at this time, I didn't know where I was, and I couldn't feel Shen Lang's existence, and my eyes were full of the majestic icons.

Sumeru seat on the six-tusk auspicious elephant, the first layer on the back of the elephant is the four heads and two faces of the Bodhisattva, the second layer is the four heads of the Bodhisattva, and the highest layer is the head of the Bodhisattva before and after.

There is no moon in the night sky, but the four-headed statue on the second layer is shining in my eyes, the light is warm but not dazzling, and the top level of the Bodhisattva statue seems to be smiling at me, and the Bodhisattva face carved on it is actually my face!
