The bus was crowded and noisy, and it took a long time for the car to drive out of Qingdao City, and after walking for about half a point, it drove to a spacious road.

Through the car window, looking into the distance, is the blue sea, the smoke and waves of the water, sparkling, endless, the vast sea and sky, endless, the bus is fast, the field of vision is gradually widened, and the mood has become comfortable.

Outside the car, there is a huge mountain rock on one side, on which green pine trees grow, and at the foot is the sea, the peaks and mountains are beautiful, and the terrain is quiet.

Xue Xinyan and I came here for the first time, everything was very fresh, the bus drove into the mountain road, the green mountains and green waters on both sides, the scenery was picturesque, the new high-rise buildings were lined up, and there were many buildings still under construction with the majestic mountain turning.

There were a lot of people waiting at the entrance of the mountain, and when they saw the bus coming, they surrounded the car and acted as a tour guide.

Passengers got off the bus one after another, crowding each other, and it was extremely difficult for me to move because I was in a cast on my right hand and carrying a bunch of snacks and duffel bags in my left hand.

"You follow me, don't get lost."

I frowned and looked back at Xue Xinyan.

She nodded in a daze.

When you get off the bus, you feel like you're at a flea market that has just opened in the morning, and it's crowded and crowded.

All the tourists at the foot of the mountain gather here, and the huge mountain pass is crowded with tourists, guides, vendors, taxi drivers, innkeepers, etc.

Passengers were transported to the mountain pass without interruption, and three more buses came, and a group of tourists dressed in yellow clothes came down, they wore red and bright peaked caps, cameras in their hands, and travel bags behind them, and a tour guide held an electronic horn in his hand, shouting loudly: "Group A tourists gather here, we will leave immediately." ”

The crowd was crowded, and the travelers dressed in yellow were centered around the guide, and the buzzing noise covered the sound of the sea crashing against the reef.

After they assembled, they climbed all the way up with the guide, and the female tour guide in her thirties frowned, weakly introducing the scenery along the way, looking very tired.

"Let's go up too."

I looked at Xue Xinyan, who was wiping her sweat with a tissue, her cheeks were a little pale.

"I kind of regret it."

She tossed the tissue into a nearby trash bin and came over to me.

"What's wrong? Is it too many tourists? ”

"If I knew I would come in the afternoon, there might be fewer people."

She helped me straighten the placket of my breast, Nono said.

"There won't be fewer people in the afternoon, let's go."

The two of us climbed the stairs, and there were already many tourists who climbed halfway up the mountain.

"Sir, do you need a guide?"

I looked for prestige, and saw a girl of about twenty years old walking in front of me, her skin was slightly dark, her ponytail was tied, and her two clear eyes were bright.

"No, thank you."

I smiled at her and politely declined.

After hearing this, she didn't leave and continued to sell herself.

"Sir, you and this lady are here for the first time, I can introduce you to the attractions here one by one, and the fee is very low."

Her eyes widened and she looked at me expectantly.

"Well, how much does it cost?"

Xue Xinyan stepped up two stone steps, walked up to her, and asked him about the price.

"If others charge 300, I'll charge two 200 yuan, isn't it cost-effective?"

She brushed the bangs that had fallen in front of her forehead, and her eyes blinked.

Xue Xinyan grinned after hearing this, shook her head slightly, and said tactfully: "We don't need a tour guide, we have been here before, and we are still very familiar with the scenic spots here, so it can be regarded as a revisit, but thank you for it." ”

"Oh, well, have fun, then."

With a sweet smile on her lips, she turned and walked towards the mountain pass, beckoning other tourists.

Xue Xinyan and I climbed up for about ten minutes, Xue Xinyan suddenly pointed to a stone and said excitedly: "Look, that's Taibai Stone, you stand there, I'll take a photo." ”

I was carrying a large bag in my hand, and it looked unnatural to stand in front of the Taibai Stone.

"Why didn't you bring your camera with you this time?"

After taking the photo, I looked down at the photo on my phone and asked Xue Xinyan suspiciously.

"I'm in a hurry, the camera is at home, I don't bother to take it, let's go."

Xue Xinyan picked up the travel bag and helped me share the weight in my hand.

"Look over there, there is Pan Tao Peak, there is the Queen Mother's Pan Tao Forest on it, and you will arrive after crossing this mountain."

Xue Xinyan introduced me excitedly, the sea breeze blowing, raising the hair on her cheeks, and the white and tender skin reflected a bright luster.

"How do you know?"

I walked up to her, took her travel bag, slung it over my left shoulder, and looked at her with curiosity on my face.

"I've never eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run, these are all things I usually learn from reading books, and I often talk about it on TV, after all, this is a famous tourist destination."

She pursed her seductive little mouth and explained to me with a proud face.

The two of us turned Pan Tao Peak, went straight to Yao Chi, walked through a flat stone road, on both sides can see the verdant bamboo forest, the bamboo stem stands straight in the forest, a large piece of green bamboo stretches, lush.

Xue Xinyan and I went to the top and arrived at the Kunlun waist in the south of Laoshan Mountain, and I saw a large stone not far ahead, and the navy blue stone face attracted my attention.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

When I got closer, I found that there were four big characters carved on the stone surface, and I read it softly: "Xia Zhu Tianban." ”

After Xue Xinyan heard this, she burst out laughing, and I looked back at her curiously, not knowing why.

"You can read it from right to left, Zhu Xia for a long time, isn't it too smooth, hehe."

I suddenly realized, it is indeed very smooth, I scratched my head in embarrassment, as the saying goes, reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles, is very reasonable.

Walking forward, I came to Bixia Cave, Xue Xinyan wanted to climb over to try her sensitivity, she said to me: "The Ming Dynasty Taoist Sun Ziyang once meditated here, this place is very aura, the general family is unfortunate, people who are not going well in life come here, you can purify the haze on the soul, get rid of impetuousness, and bless peace." ”

I listened as if I didn't understand, and I also crawled over with Xue Xinyan.

At this time, seven or eight people came behind her, and the front was a tour guide, who held a small eye-catching red flag in her hand, climbed through the hole, and explained to the tourists behind her: "Bixia Cave is said to be high and spacious in the original hole, but it was struck by lightning during the Qing Dynasty, and most of it has fallen into the ground. ”

The tourists listened attentively, and some even took out a notebook to quickly record these unknown allusions.

Xue Xinyan and I walked sixty or seventy meters inside, and then we saw an ancient temple, Xue Xinyan walked into the temple, knelt and kowtowed reverently, burned a stick of incense, took out a wallet in her bag, and took out 100 yuan and stuffed it into the merit box.

I was a little tired of it, and when I walked out of the temple, I asked her, "You weren't superstitious before, were you?" ”

After Xue Xinyan heard this, she gave me a blank look, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense here, kneeling and burning incense is just to ask for peace and happiness, and you won't lose anything." ”

I think about it, I'm a rough person, and after Xue Xinyan marries me in the future, it seems that my fast-talking problem will have to be changed.

On the west side of the temple gable, there is an ancient well, on the side of the ancient well, a black square table is placed on the side of the ancient well, which is full of white water bottles, and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old sits on the edge of the well, holding a bamboo fan in her hand, and her face is full of comfortable fanning the wind.

I walked over curiously, and when I got closer, I found a small rectangular sign standing in front of the table, which read: Immortal Ancient Well, drinkers can turn disasters into disasters, take a scoop of water, and get success.

At the bottom of the sign reads: 50 yuan for a bottle of water.

I looked embarrassed for a while, and sighed, if this is really the water of Yaochi, let alone fifty yuan, I will admit it for five hundred yuan.

Inside one of the temple's ear rooms was surprisingly quiet, in stark contrast to the noisy world outside, and inside the room, there was an old Taoist priest in his seventies, who was sitting on his lap, thin and thin, with a large, long face, two swollen bags under his eyes, his eyes closed, and his mouth muttering scriptures that he did not understand.

Seeing me and Xue Xinyan walking into the house, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Let's ask for a sign between the two donors."

His voice was unusually hoarse, and it seemed ethereal in the silence of the cabin.

Xue Xinyan and I glanced at each other, then walked in front of the old Taoist priest and sat on a small antique wooden chair.

"The true nature is not chaotic, and all fate is not hanging; There is no near name for good, and there is no near punishment for evil. ”

He looked at me and said a Taoist jargon that he didn't understand.

"Uh, what do you mean by Master?"

I tried to understand the meaning of his words, and hurried to ask him.

"Has the donor been distracted lately and entangled in some trivial matters?"

When I heard that, it was, and nodded.

The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes, stared at me carefully for a moment, and then asked me to stretch out my left hand to see my lifeline.

I'm surprised in my heart, are Taoists also interested in palmistry?

He fumbled in my palm and slowly frowned.

"The donor has experienced a catastrophe and lost a lot of time."

My eyes widened and I looked at him incredulously, and even Xue Xinyan, who was sitting next to me, was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hand and almost screamed.

"Yes, yes."

I nodded frequently and looked at the old Taoist priest with adoration on my face.

"Your heart is too impetuous to concentrate on doing one thing well, which will be detrimental to your later life."

The old Taoist priest let go of my hand, sat cross-legged on the round cushion, and slowly closed his eyes.

I glanced at Xue Xinyan and didn't know what to do.

Xue Xinyan coughed lightly and asked humbly: "Master, how can I get rid of the impetuousness in my heart?" ”

The old Taoist priest didn't speak, but still closed his eyes lightly, like an old stone statue of a feathered immortal.

After a while, he muttered out an incomprehensible Taoist scripture: "Those who are content are rich, those who are content are happy, those who are virtuous are rich, those who are content are happy, those who are virtuous are rich, those who are rich are accumulating from leniency, those who seek wealth from thrift, those who would rather keep good and die, those who are not born for evil, those who are filthy are the heads of all evils, and filial piety is the first of a hundred lines." ”

I seem to understand whether I understand or not, and I probably understand the artistic conception he conveyed, which is nothing more than doing things from the beginning to the end, not doing things from the heart, being content and happy, filial piety to parents, loving life, etc., listening to it is quite positive.

There is no merit box for a fee here, and the Taoist chief did not ask for money from the two of us, Xue Xinyan and I glanced at each other, not knowing how much money to give to the old Taoist, and when I was hesitating, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked in at the door.
