Chapter 485: Dojo
The hotel security did not get results, so I gave up, and my mother and I checked out. Today is the day when the travelers gather into the mountains.
The two of us brought our equipment and came to the door of a B&B at the foot of Phoenix Mountain as soon as possible, and the meeting place was here.
There is a small square in front of the B&B, and many people come at this time, most of them are old men and women wearing jackets, carrying hiking bags, and holding trekking poles. Divided into many teams, some with flags and some drums, each with its own organization.
My mom called the guide and finally found our climbing team around the corner of the square. Most of the team were young people, both men and women, and everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very good.
At nine o'clock in the morning, basically everyone arrived, and the tour guide was a middle-aged man, who came over and clapped his hands: "Everyone be quiet, we will set off later." He introduced himself as Brother Gang, explained the safety issues, and finally said: "Our mountaineering team will not take the ordinary mountain forest route, but take another relatively unpopular mountain road. This road has an elegant name, called Dengxian Road, and the destination is the small peach blossom source in the village. β
Most of the travelers were from outside, and they were very interested and leaned over to listen.
The tour guide Brother Gang had a deep voice and talked about the legends of the market, which was relish. "Why is it called Dengxian Road, legend has it that in ancient times, someone saw immortals on this road, and then followed all the way to apprentice, and finally found a stone house in the mountains, which turned out to be a secret room for immortals to retreat and practice."
Someone next to me was very interested and asked, can we go to that secret room and have a look?
Brother Gang laughed: "It's been a thousand years, the secret room has long ceased to exist, and there are many senior travelers on this road who walk back and forth, even if there are good things, it will not be our turn." But," he said, "there are some historic sites along our route, which record the secrets of Phoenix Mountain for thousands of years. Our Phoenix Mountain has been Zhong Lingyuxiu since ancient times, the place where many masters came out, and it is said that Lao Tzu and Zhang Sanfeng have come here for retreat. If you are really destined, you may be able to discover something different along the way. β
"Can you become an immortal?" A naΓ―ve question was raised.
The travelers laughed.
Brother Gang didn't laugh much, and said lightly: "In addition to having a good chance, Chengxian also depends on whether you are this material." β
Everyone gossiped for a while, chatting about some strange and confusing topics. My mom and I were at the back of the line, we didn't know anyone, so we didn't need to talk to them.
I asked my mother how she was doing, and she smiled and said, don't look at the age of the first recovery from a serious illness, but how many years of outdoor geological exploration is still there, you young people don't let her compare with it when the time comes.
Seeing that my mother can still joke like this, I feel much more relieved.
At nine o'clock, everyone arrived, and Brother Gang asked everyone to keep an eye on one by one, no one could get lost, and report the situation immediately. He explained the safety issue to his mother-in-law again. All the travelers were impatient, and said that they knew, let's go quickly, real ink.
Brother Gang sighed.
I can understand him, he is the leader of the team, and he is the guide, if something happens, he is the first to take responsibility.
The team set off and followed a path into the mountains. At first, everyone was still talking and laughing, and when they climbed a huge steep hill, there was a dead silence in the team, and only the sound of snoring and panting could be heard, and a few tired people sat on the ground to rest, and they had no heart to talk for a long time.
Brother Gang ran up and down the whole team, pushing this and that, and warned everyone not to sit on the ground, it was easy to get sick. He finally came to our mother's place, and saw my mother striding up the meteor without panting, and felt very surprised, "Sister, is your physical strength okay?" β
My mom laughed and said, so-so, it's far worse than before.
Brother Gang nodded appreciatively, and said to the whole team, you young people, look at other people's aunts, their physical strength is much stronger than yours.
My mom has good physical strength, and I'm even more fine, practicing the First Light Method is not a little bit of a improvement in physical fitness, and the two of us quickly walked to the front of the whole team. My physical strength is more than enough to deal with this mountain road, and the treacherous mountains in Tibet have even walked down the night march, not to mention Phoenix Mountain.
There is still a surplus of physical strength, so I helped the girls in the team to hold the backpack, and it didn't take long, I carried three or four bags, and walked in front of me, and the footsteps did not stop, and these travelers in the team were dumbfounded, but I didn't expect that there were people with such strong physical strength.
Finally, it was noon, and everyone rested on the spot, and these people were like tired and paralyzed, panting like cows, and they didn't bother to drink water.
Mom pulled me aside and whispered, I thought that walking with such a group of people would ensure safety and take care of each other, but now that I look at it, it has dragged us down. She discussed with me that if this was the case tomorrow, we would leave the group and go into the mountains by ourselves.
I nodded and agreed with my mother's suggestion, we didn't come to have fun and play in the mountains and rivers, but to find clues to my father's disappearance.
For the rest of the trip, my mother and I walked leisurely, slowly conserving our strength, and preparing to go alone tomorrow to prepare.
In the evening, the procession marched through a mountain depression, where there was an abandoned temple, so dilapidated that the walls had fallen down, and only an empty shelf remained. Barely able to spend the night, everyone set up tents in the center of the temple.
When everything was cleaned up, Brother Gang lit a fire on the ground, and everyone sat around with Mazhazi, eating canned food and drinking wine.
In the dead of night, the sky is dark, the trees around the broken temple are gloomy, and the mottled black shadows are craggy like ghosts. Everyone is a group of young people, and it is easy to shift the conversation to ghosts. Someone told some ghost stories that he knew, and the wind rose at night, and the broken temple had no gate, and the flames were blowing and flashing, and the whole hall had an indescribable horror.
Some travelers said that Brother Gang is an old guide of Phoenix Mountain, and he must know a lot of secrets about this mountain, let's talk about it.
Everyone recommends it, let Brother Gang say a paragraph.
Brother Gang sat in front of the fire and pondered for a moment, picked up a branch and pulled the flames in the fire, and said, "Do you know about the underworld? β
The people looked at each other and said that they knew, that is, the place where the soul of the person died.
"Does Meng Po of the underworld know?" Brother Gang said in a dark and faint voice.
I sat at the back of the crowd and my ears burned when I heard him say that.
Mom was also listening intently.
Brother Gang said: "In our Phoenix Mountain, there is a legend that there is a dojo of Meng Po. β
Someone asked, what is a dojo?
"The so-called dojo is the place where the gods and Buddhas appear to speak the Dharma. That is, a specific deity and Buddha are enshrined. It's like the City God Temple, which is dedicated to the City God. In addition to the righteous gods, some dojos will worship the dead, that is, evil ghosts, overseas called Wanying Palace, we call it Yin Temple here. Brother Gang's voice was low and his speech was very atmospheric.
So many people at the scene listened, and they were all silent, and they could hear the needle.
