After lunch, Secretary He, County Magistrate Zou and others bid farewell to Seng Xiaotian, Xing Lihua, Gu Liming, and others, saying that they would quickly go back to convene a meeting of the Standing Committee to study and deploy the work ideas of the new team after taking office.

Before leaving, Secretary He and County Magistrate Zou vigorously shook Xing Lihua's hand and told him to play for two more days, and said that they would definitely come from the county seat tomorrow morning to participate in the fund-raising meeting, and at the same time, they would also bring the responsible persons of the Finance Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the County Youth League Committee to be responsible for the registration and collection of donations.

Xing Lihua, Gu Liming, Ning Qing and the others were going to rest in the village for one night, and in the afternoon they would go to the Medicine King Mountain where he had cultivated with Sneer Xiaotian.

When the people in the village heard that Mr. Xing and others were going to spend the night in the village, they didn't wait for Leng Jidao to speak, and a few slightly wealthier families began to make beds and quilts, waiting for these distinguished guests to come to their house to sleep at night.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Seng Xiaotian took Xing Lihua, Gu Liming, Ning Qing, Su Xiaodan, Xiaodie, and a dozen other people from a stone paved mountain road behind Lengxi Village to Yaowang Mountain, which was more than ten miles away.

Lengxi Village is a small mountain village surrounded by mountains on three sides: Lion Rock to the east, Niujiaoling to the south, and Pansnake Mountain to the west, leaving only one valley mouth in the north to lead to the town.

What Sneer Xiaotian is taking them to climb now is the Lion Rock to the east. Over this mountain, it is Yakuo Mountain.

Halfway up the Lion Rock, Sneer Xiaotian took Xing Lihua and others to a concave col, which is the place where Lion Rock and Niujiaoling meet.

When going downhill, Xing Lihua and the others saw that the fog was steaming and the water vapor was curling in the mountain col, as if a layer of mist was covered in the mountain pass, and they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Brother Xiaotian, what is the place down here? Why is there so much water mist, as if there is a boiler burning below?"

Sneered and smiled proudly, and said: "Mr. Xing, when you visit the secluded world, you will pay attention to novelty and mystery. Don't ask now, you'll know when you get there, and you're guaranteed to make everyone's eyes light up and their hearts relaxed!"

Su Xiaodan pouted and said, "Xiaotian, this road is too difficult to walk, there are thorns and ridges everywhere, and when we get to the magical realm you said, I'm afraid that our clothes will all be rotten." ”

Sneering Tian turned around, took her hand, and comforted her: "Dandan, have you read Wang Anshi's "The Story of Wandering Bao Zen Mountain"? At the end of this travelogue, there are a few sentences: The wonder of the world is wonderful, the strange is strange, and the extraordinary view often lies in the danger and distance, and Hu Fei cannot reach it if he has ambitions! This is a wise saying. Especially in our modern society, most of the primitive and quaint scenery has been destroyed or artificially developed, and the true interest of nature has long been lost. It is only in a remote and backward place like Lengxi Village that we can find a few natural landscapes that are not polluted by human beings and maintain their original style. Therefore, we must be patient, have a pious attitude of pilgrimage to the Buddha, and be not afraid of difficulties and dangers, so that we can see the natural wonders that we have longed for!"

Su Xiaodan laughed, glanced at him, and said, "Just you are one by one, showing off the talent in your stomach!"

The group walked down a seemingly unruly downhill path until they reached the bottom, passing through a small pine forest, and suddenly it became clear to them: just below the small dirt slope where they were standing, there was a large valley surrounded by the surrounding mountains, about a hundred acres, and the whole valley was oval.

In this oval-shaped valley, there are irregular pools of water every twenty or thirty meters. Wisps of milky white mist evaporated from the pool, slowly drifting over the valley, like auspicious clouds on the feet of a fairy when she descended to earth, and like a huge white veil drying in the air.

At this time, the warm winter sun shines down through the white gauze and reflects in those pools, reflecting the colorful and brilliant light, which is really magnificent, dazzling and moving!

"Hot springs! Wow, this must be a hot spring!"

Fang Ruli in the crowd was well-informed, and as soon as she saw the steaming pool, she immediately reacted and couldn't help but exclaim.

Everyone looked at Sneer Xiaotian suspiciously, and when they saw him smiling and nodding, they couldn't help but be surprised: so many natural hot spring pools are still wrapped in such beautiful natural beauty, it is really a rare beauty in the world!

More than a dozen people were in a very urgent mood at this time, almost crawling down with a rolling belt, came to the hot spring pools, and tested the water temperature with their hands, and sure enough, they were all hot, and the water temperature of two pools was still a little hot.

Between the hot spring pools, large rocks stand upright, either round or pointed. Just now on the hillside, because it was covered by the mist, no one noticed these stones standing between the pools like mighty armored warriors. The stones act as a natural barrier separating the pools into different areas.

"This is really a huge hot spring swimming pool! Such a beautiful scenery, such a high-quality hot spring water, why is there no developer to come and develop this place as a hot spring tourist resort?"

Xing Lihua kept sighing as he walked around these hot spring pools.

Sneer Xiaotian explained: "Mr. Xing, there are several reasons here: First, the main leaders of the original county party committee of Wushui County, especially Liu Xuewen of the previous session, all their minds were spent on intrigue, In terms of corruption and bribery, he wears the hat of a poor county in the country every year, asks for money and goods from above, and then lies down with peace of mind on the money, goods and funds allocated by his superiors to live a peaceful life, and never thinks of making use of Wushui's natural resources and primitive scenery to vigorously develop tourism and commerce, so the outside world knows very little about Wushui's natural scenery and tourism resources; second, Wushui's transportation is very underdeveloped, and even the railway does not pass through here, and there is no highway connection in the county, even if it is developed here, because the traffic is inconvenient when tourists from other places come, it is estimated that there will be very few tourists; third, this hot spring pool is protected by the mountainIf the developer wants to develop here, he must repair the road from the village to the town, and also build a winding mountain road on the Lion Rock to go down to the valley floor, and the development cost is too high. Therefore, although there have been several interested developers here in recent years, no one has really invested a penny for the above reasons. ”

Xing Lihua, Gu Liming and others all nodded again and again. Xing Lihua said: "No wonder, your analysis is indeed reasonable. I made a preliminary estimate that if all the money for building roads, hotels, and equipment is counted, it will be impossible to build a decent hot spring resort here without 100 to 150 million yuan. With such a large investment, the risk is indeed relatively large. However, if it is completed, it will become the first-class hot spring tourist resort in China under the condition of improving the traffic conditions in Wushui County. I'm a person who has seen a lot of resorts, but this is the first time I've seen a natural tourism resource with excellent scenery, hot springs, and excellent water quality like this one. ”

Sneering Tian, half-jokingly and half-seriously, said: "Mr. Xing, if you take the risk of investing a billion yuan to develop this hot spring pool, maybe you will make a lot of money! In that case, our village will become rich." ”

Gu Liming said thoughtfully: "Xiaotian, you are now persuading Mr. Xing to come and develop here, it is a risky idea - after all, one billion yuan is not a small amount. I have a good idea: all of us who are here today, except for Dan, Fluttershy, and Xiaotian, will promise to come out with a sum of money—as much as you want, according to your ability—to build a small hotel in this valley, and not to build any roads, so that everyone can stay here in groups of three or five for ten days and a half as soon as they have free time, which I think is better than going on vacation abroad. ”

"Wonderful! Gu Dao really deserves to be an international famous director, and the idea he came up with is different!"

Xing Lihua first agreed.

Other celebrities and bigwigs also nodded in agreement. Ning Qing even said that she would bring her mother here for a month of recuperation every year, saying that this is the best natural hospital, which will definitely be of great benefit to the elderly to recuperate physically and mentally!

"Alas, it's a pity I didn't bring swimming clothes, otherwise I would have wanted to pounce on these pools and soak for a few hours!"

Before leaving, Su Xiaodan reluctantly looked at the hot spring pools that looked like big baths, and said with infinite regret.

Sneering Tian pulled her aside, leaned into her ear and whispered with a smile: "You celebrate the New Year in my house, I will bring you over to the hot spring every night!"

"Phew, bad thing, you want to be beautiful!"

Su Xiaodan's cheeks were crimson, and he smiled and whispered to him, but his face showed a look of infinite yearning.

"What are you two whispering? Walking on the road and not letting go of the opportunity to be affectionate, hahaha, what a love!"

Xing Lihua joked with a smile.

Ning Qing, who was walking next to Sneering Tian, heard Su Xiaodan's words of "think beautifully", guessed what the two of them were talking about, her heart was sour, and she pretended to say in a joking tone: "What else can you say?" Xiaotian must have wanted to bring Xiaodan here alone to take a mandarin duck bath!"

Sneer Xiaotian and Su Xiaodan were a little embarrassed when her private words were exposed.

Ning Qing saw that Sneer Xiaotian was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and stopped talking about them.

Soon, Sneer Xiaotian led them to the temple under Yaowang Mountain.

The middle-aged monk who guarded the temple also knew Sneer Xiaotian, and when he saw that he had brought so many men and women who were not ordinary people at first glance, he immediately showed an extremely attentive expression on his face, stepped forward and bowed with his palms together, and said with a smile: "Little donor, I haven't seen you for half a year, your complexion is getting better and better, you look full of energy, and the hall is shining, this is a sign that the donor is going to be rich and noble!"

Sneng Xiaotian has always been grateful to this fake monk who comforted himself and took care of himself, and this time he brought so many big celebrities who believed in Buddhism and God, so he wanted to make this kind-hearted fake monk make a small fortune, so he took Gu Liming, Xing Lihua and others straight into the Yaowang Temple.
