The car drove quickly to the downstairs where I was temporarily staying.

I parked the car.

The three of us headed upstairs.

Miao Han smiled silently, and walked straight to her house after going upstairs.

Ye Qian and I came to the top of the building.

"You seem to have something to say to me?" I asked Ye Qian tentatively.

"Yes," Ye Qian said seriously, "The pistol you put me a while ago, I asked an expert to identify it, it is not a gun, it is a pistol model made of pure gold, and it has no lethality!" ”

"That's good," I said happily, "if it's a gun, it's hot!" ”

"So I decided to collect it," Ye Qian said with a smile, "How about giving you 10,000 yuan?" ”

"Say as much as you want!" I smiled.

"I'll pay for the medical expenses of those two people today," Ye Qian explained, "I paid 10,000 yuan for you!" It's just right now, let's clear the two! ”

"Makes sense!" I said with a smile.

"It is estimated that you have been in a depressed mood for the past two days," Ye Qian thought about it and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to Hongluo Temple for a walk and relax!" ”

"Okay!" I said happily.

A night of lingering sorrow.

After dawn, Ye Qian drove me to Hongluo Temple to play.

Hongluo Temple is located at the southern foot of Hongluo Mountain, 5 kilometers north of Huairou District, Beijing, and 55 kilometers away from downtown Beijing.

Hongluo Temple sits in the north and faces south, is built according to the mountain situation, the layout is rigorous, and the momentum is majestic. It is backed by Hongluo Mountain, shining on Hongluo Lake in the south, surrounded by mountains and waters, with abundant forests and ancient trees. Hongluo Temple is located in the thousands of acres of verdant ancient pine forest in front of Hongluo Mountain, forming a beautiful picture of "Bibo Tibetan Ancient Temple".

"Hongluo Temple was originally called Daming Temple," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Do you know why it is called Hongluo Temple?" ”

"Because of the wonderful legend of the Red Snail Fairy," I smiled, "it is commonly known as the Red Snail Temple." ”

"Yes," Ye Qian said with emotion, "this is really a perfect and special Pure Land Buddha country, with profound historical accumulation and cultural infiltration, as well as wonderful geographical environment and climatic conditions. Walk into the ancient temple, pay homage to the solemn Buddhist ceremonies, burn incense and bow to each other, comprehend your own mind, get rid of many troubles, and obtain the pleasure of peace. ”

"The red snail has three superb scenes," I asked Ye Qian with a smile, "Do you know what it is?" ”

"Yes," Ye Qian said coquettishly, "the male and female ginkgo, the imperial bamboo forest, and the wisteria pine." ”

"You see," I said earnestly, "the two ancient ginkgo trees in front of the Mahavira Hall, the female tree in the east is as delicate and small as a woman, and the male tree in the west is as tall and thick as a man. This male ginkgo tree is more than 1,100 years old, the height of the tree is more than 30 meters, and the circumference of the whole tree reaches as much as 7 meters. Every spring, the male tree is full of small pale yellow flowers and does not bear fruit in the fall, while the female tree does not see the flowers every spring but bears fruit in the autumn. People think that these two trees are like a pair made in heaven and a perfect couple, so they are also called husband and wife trees. ”

"It's really like a couple!" Ye Qian said affectionately, "Two ancient trees, nestled together, intertwined roots, grow together. Although they have been stormed by wind and rain for many years, frost and ice, they still hug each other tightly, intimate and close, and the lush branches and leaves blend with each other, just like a century-old couple, hand in hand, never abandoned. ”

"Listening to others," I smiled, "couples who have taken pictures under the husband and wife tree will grow old together!" ”

"Then let's have one!" Ye Qian said with a smile.

At this time, a tourist approached.

"I'll take a picture for you!" Tourists said enthusiastically.

"Thank you!" Ye Qian smiled and gave the camera to the tourist, and then snuggled up to me like a bird.

The shutter clicked, clicked.

Ye Qian was shy.

"In ancient times," I said to Ye Qian after taking the photo, "the husband and wife tree was called Lianli Branch, also known as the tree of life and death, which is a kind of tree in the forest that is dependent on human husband and wife like a human husband and wife!" ”

"Yes," Ye Qian pondered, "it is often said that it is difficult to make a forest alone, but the male ginkgo tree in the Hongluo Temple has the tendency of becoming a forest alone, because it grows ten straight and straight branches from the roots, and these ten branches have a very magical legend, do you know?" ”

"Yes," I said with a smile, "it is said by the locals that with each dynasty, a new stem grows from the roots of this male ginkgo tree, and now there are ten branches and one main trunk. ”

"Then do you know why these two male and female ginkgo trees are called one of the 'Three Superb Views of Red Snails'?" Ye Qian asked with a serious face.

"Of course I know," I laughed, "these two ancient ginkgo trees, when spring comes, they spit out new shoots; When summer comes, the foliage is luxuriant, and the shade covers the sun; Autumn is coming, the leaves are golden, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall is set off with a brilliant and magnificent appearance, which makes people stop and make people forget to return. In addition, the ginkgo tree is a relict plant, a unique plant living fossil in China, and is the oldest tree species in the world, with high research and appreciation value, so the male and female ginkgo biloba is known as one of the 'three superb scenery of red snails'. ”

"You know so much," Ye Qian said with a smile, "It's almost a living dictionary!" ”

I smiled.

Ye Qian and I chatted while walking.

In front of me, large bamboo forests began to appear.

"This bamboo forest in front of the mountain gate was planted by the Zen master Yunshan in the Yuan Dynasty," Ye Qian explained, "and has a history of more than 600 years." Do you know why it's called the Imperial Bamboo Forest? ”

"Because of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty," I said seriously, "in the 32nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the Holy Driver Hongluo Temple sent incense, and when I saw this green bamboo forest, I felt very curious, so I asked the officials around me to count the number of bamboos, and the result was 613 trees." Before leaving, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty told the monks and local officials in the temple to protect the bamboo forest, so that they could often come to see it in the future, and later people called this bamboo forest the imperial bamboo forest. In the northwest corner of the bamboo forest, there is also a bamboo pavilion that is restored as it is, and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had set up a throne in the original pavilion to enjoy the bamboo. The bamboo forest of Hongluo Temple is evergreen in all seasons, and the growth is luxuriant, there are about one million bamboos, and it is known as one of the "three superb views of red snails". ”

"The bamboo in Hongluo Temple is a yellow trough Beijing bamboo," Ye Qian said with a smile, "It is commonly known as jade inlaid with gold: the bamboo is green as a whole, and the grooves are yellow, which is called jade inlaid with gold, and vice versa is called gold inlaid with jade." ”

"Then do you know why the ancients often compared bamboo to a gentleman?" I asked Ye Qian softly.

"Bamboo is a perennial plant of the grass family," Ye Qian said seriously, "and there is a knotted evergreen in the hollow, so the ancients personified bamboo as a gentleman." As the saying goes: 'There is a festival before it has been unearthed, even Lingyun is humble.' ’”

"Su Dongpo also wrote," I thought about, "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo." No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar. ”

"Look at these bamboos," Ye Qian said, pointing to the bamboo beside him, "They all grow one by one." In fact, love, like bamboo, often grows one by one, and it is necessary to skip hurdles. Every time you cross a hurdle, both parties in a relationship will deeply feel the pain of losing their own protection. Among these hurdles, some are easy to skip, and some are difficult to skip, so we must concentrate our strength on this point, and breaking through means that love has reached a higher level; If you can't get through, it means the failure of love. Therefore, at the critical moment of love, it is often the moment when the tension and pain of love come together, and it is bound to feel doubly uncomfortable than usual, which is a good thing, not a bad thing! ”

"Love grows like bamboo!" I looked at Ye Qian, who was as beautiful as a flower, and muttered.

"Yes," Ye Qian said with clear eyes, "look at these bamboos, they have firmly rooted their roots in the cracks of the rocks, no matter what wind blows, they still grow perseveringly, growing high section by section!" ”

I saw the verdant bamboos swaying in the wind.

All the way through the mountain breeze.

All the way to the green bamboo bushes.

Ye Qian and I walked while talking, in a happy mood.

On the west side of the courtyard in front of the three temples behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a wisteria pine that is one of the "three superb views of the red snail".

The wisteria pine is composed of two vines wrapped around a flat-topped pine. The flat-topped pine branch is divided into nine branches, and its powerful arms stretch out in all directions in parallel; The two bowl-mouthed vines are like dragon pan jade pillars climbing all over the entire branches of the flat-topped pine, doubling charming; The pine vines are luxuriant, forming a natural giant umbrella that covers the sun and the sky.

"I heard that at the beginning of May every year," Ye Qian said with a smile, "the shelves full of vine flowers are like strings of purple agate falling all over the branches, as if a purple auspicious cloud floats between the temples, and the rich fragrance of flowers will fill the entire temple." ”

"Yes," I said seriously, "in ancient times, every year during the flower season, the abbot of Hongluo Temple would invite the abbots and elders of the monasteries near the capital and celebrities to come here to sit under the trees and enjoy the flowers. ”

"There is such a record in the Yuan Dynasty's "Hongluo Mountain Daming Temple Stele"," Ye Qian said with a smile, "Listen to the golden bell on the night of the breeze, next to the heavenly guardian vine." The scenery of wisteria pine has a history of at least 800 years. ”

"As the saying goes: 'Vines are wrapped in pine, and pine is hard to grow.'" I said seriously, "And the pine vine in the Hongluo Temple has lived in harmony for more than 800 years, the vine does not leave the pine, the pine does not give up the vine, the blind date depends on each other, lingering as before, so it is called one of the 'three superb views of the Hongluo Temple'." ”

"Love is like the entanglement of trees and vines," Ye Qian said with emotion, "A man is like a tree, the roots must be far-reaching, the leaves must be lush, no matter what the tree is, it must take root in the soil; A woman is like a vine, the leaves should be fresh and the branches should be soft, and no matter what vine it is, it must be wrapped around the tree. ”

"Who of us is like a tree and who is like a vine?" I asked Ye Qian with a smile.

"To tell the truth," Ye Qian smiled, "I'm like a tree, you're like a vine!" ”

"I also think," I pretended, "that when chance gives the tree and the vine a chance to fall in love, they begin to linger for a lifetime." After the wind, frost, snow and rain, the tree made a promise in the gentle lingering: I will be your arms and support for life, shelter you from the wind and rain, resist the frost and snow for you, until the earth is barren! ”

"In the end, they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand," Ye Qian said emotionally, "In the long years, they enjoyed the joy and happiness brought by the warm entanglement, no matter the spring and autumn, no matter the heat and winter." The tree will always use its strong arms to care for the weak vine, and the vine only needs to wrap tightly around the tree, and they will live together through the days and nights of life with each other. ”

"Then I will entangle you tightly in the future," I said to Ye Qian with a smile, "Let's spend the days and nights of our lives together!" Who made you a tree and a vine? ”

"You are like a tree, and I am like a vine!" Ye Qian said resentfully, "I'm like a tree, you're like a vine, how do I feel weird, as if you can't live without me!" ”

"Yes," I said with certainty, "without you, I would be worse off than dead!" ”
