Chapter 007: Greeting the Stone Buddha with a smile
"Is it expensive to eat here?" Li said that when he saw a barbecue restaurant, he shook his brows, he only had a bag of bread and two oranges in his school bag, and if there was anything delicious and affordable here, he would be happy to pack a little.
"This meat is not from the animals of the mountains, and this vegetable is not grown in the mountains, they are all transported from all over the city, and this cook is probably also a monk halfway...... Well, the taste of the barbecue should be comparable to the stew of the Nanhai canteen. ”
"Uh......" The big piece of meat in the Nanhai canteen, he still remembered it vividly, so he instantly dispelled the idea of eating.
"Wow, there are a lot of souvenir shops here, Amin, should we buy one?" Shen Huimin's roommate, a girl named Yang Juanjuan, shouted.
"Which one do you want to buy?" Shen Huimin responded with a smile, her eyes narrowed like the moon with hidden stars.
"Let's go see ...... first" Yang Juanjuan pulled Shen Huimin into the store, the shop imitating the original wooden house hung this kind of engraved mahogany plaque, and there were strings of silver or gold bells, the bells were also engraved with various small characters, and the big red beans and other handicrafts placed in the store also had lettering......
It seems that all such souvenirs like to engrave, as if they were engraved and remembered.
"Boss, how much does this bell cost?" Yang Juanjuan seemed to like the string of silver bells, on which was engraved a relatively large word "Yang", and a line or two of small messages.
The boss is a middle-aged fat man, wearing a straw hat, red and black complexion, he glanced at Jiangyang and a few people, and knew at a glance that they were students, and the students' money was the best to earn, this is his business experience over the years, so the lion opened his mouth: "A string of bells is sixty yuan." ”
As soon as Jiang Yang heard the price, he had the urge to pull Yang Juanjuan away, but the other party was a girl, so it was inconvenient to operate.
Afraid that Yang Juanjuan would be slaughtered, Jiang Yang hurriedly said: "I remember that it seems to be only forty in front, boss, you are a bit expensive." ”
"Young man, you get what you pay for." The boss said in Mandarin with a Luzhou accent, and shook the bell: "You listen to how crisp my bell is, you are students, buy one and hang it in the dormitory, how beautiful and literary it is." It will take several years for college, and the dormitory is half a home, so you won't lose money if you take care of it. ”
Hey, this boss is still a fat man who understands literature and art.
"Boss, it's cheaper, we're all students, we don't have much money." Jiang Yang also replied to him in Mandarin with a Luzhou accent, which meant "We are fellow countrymen, so don't slaughter our own family." ”
"Okay, okay, it's not easy to be a college student, I'm a kind-hearted person, I'll lose money and make money today, and I'll sell you for two strings of bells for a hundred yuan." The boss said with a bitter face
Jiang Huxin said: "This bell is at most twenty-five yuan a string, and you sell fifty yuan a piece and lose money to make money, you shout that it is raining in the sky!" ”
Finding that he couldn't say anything about this boss, Jiang Yang had to make a look, but Shen Huimin understood, and pulled Yang Juanjuan out of the store: "Juanjuan, it's troublesome to bring a bell up the mountain, you can walk jingling, and your classmates will laugh at you for a while, you are a fortune teller, and you will buy it when you go down the mountain." ”
Yang Juanjuan's willingness to buy the bell was not resolute, and she readily agreed with Shen Huimin's statement, so several people continued to march. In order to prevent his partner from being slaughtered, Jiang Yang focused on the price here this time, and when she learned that the boss was slaughtering her at a sky-high price, Yang Juanjuan was so angry that she waved her fist "hum~".
After the foothills, this section of the gentle road full of shops is the real Dongpo mountain road, where there is a small racecourse, a few horses are kept in the grass on the right side of the mountain road, and on the left side of the mountain road is a carved out horse racecourse, and several people are wearing armor and riding horses.
When Jiang Yang and the others looked over, it happened that an unskilled knight was thrown off, fortunately its horse was not running fast, it should not be described as running, but it was walking very leisurely, so that he was not thrown very badly......
Originally, everyone still had a little idea of galloping on horseback, but after seeing the lessons of the previous car, they decisively gave up this stupid idea.
After passing the east slope, you will find the mountain Dharma field in the south.
……
Many years ago, the quiet and ethereal mountain Buddhist field has now become a happy field, with large swing clocks, merry-go-rounds and other entertainment facilities occupying the originally empty chanting platform, and I wonder if the stone Buddha on the mountain wall feels noisy.
If the stone Buddha really has a spirit, the squinting Maitreya Buddha is afraid that he will change his face with a crying face, and he is worried about why he can't stay away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world when he hides in the mountains and forests.
Of course, the Buddha may not think so, the Buddha is a Buddha, which is originally inhuman. They need incense on earth, and they need to listen to the troubles of the world......
Jiang Yang and the other five people were not interested in these modern entertainment facilities, so they chose a forking ancient road and approached the huge stone statue of the Mountain Buddha.
The rock of the carved Buddha statue has been eroded by the years, pecked by wind and frost, and the rock is covered with small cracks, so looking at it from a little distance, I always feel that the smiling Maitreya Buddha stone statue carries countless sorrows that cannot be blown away.
Faced with such a strange Buddha statue, Jiang Yang and the others couldn't help but restrain their relaxed and laughing expressions and became solemn and solemn.
"Do you see the string of Buddha beads in the hand of the Buddha statue, is the shape a little strange, not as round as the normal Buddha beads." Jiang Hu pointed to the string of Buddha beads on the left hand of the Buddha statue that were biased towards the shape of water beads or hearts, and explained in a positive manner: "This is unique to the Sanxing Temple of Zipeng Mountain, I don't know if it is due to geographical reasons or the reason for the variety of trees, the shape of the Bodhi seed produced by the Bodhi tree in the Sanxing Temple is always a little strange.
Some tourists think that this monster is a kind of spirit, so they are always willing to buy a bunch of ...... However, it has not been sold in recent years, and the old linden tree began to bear fruit a few years ago. ”
"The monk still sees the tower when he dies, and the tree has no flowers." On the side, Shen Huimin couldn't help but sigh.
Just when a few people sighed, a white lynx with a gray tail suddenly appeared on the top of the Buddha's head, staring at everyone with eyes as clear as an opal, and then "meowed".
"There's a bobcat!" Yang Juanjuan exclaimed, the irascible little milk voice did not scare away the bold lynx.
Jiang Yang and Shen Huimin are natives of Luzhou, and they have come to Zipeng Mountain once, so they naturally know that there are many lynxes here.
Many students from other places have been studying in Luzhou for a few years, and they have become local acquaintances, and they like to explain to their friends that "most of these are pets raised by students in the school under the mountain, and after raising them for a period of time, they lost interest, so they threw them on the mountain and became the current lynx ......"
But those pet cats eat cat food and use cat litter, which is difficult to survive in the wild. In fact, these bobcats have existed for a long time, and they are basically native cats that used to be like people in the village under the mountain.
"Legend has it that there is a lynx spirit on this mountain, known as the tanuki prince, who likes to catch young and beautiful girls as his wife, you two should be careful." Jiang Yang is happy, casually reciting a legend to make fun of them.
However, it was greeted by the eyes of everyone as if they were mentally retarded.
It's like saying: You can make up such a vulgar legend.
Jiang Yang shut up in embarrassment......
