Chapter 152: The Fruits of Bankruptcy
Zhang Chujiu crossed the road along the zebra crossing in front of the community, took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was the phone of his friend Liu Yawen, so he answered the channel casually: "Good morning, mosquito, what's the matter with me early in the morning?"
Liu Yawen on the other end of the phone asked in a clear voice: "How is your temple built, tonight across the Chinese New Year's Eve, I plan to ask some friends to go there to have a party of ancient times, so that your small Taoist temple will shine for a while." ”
Because the auction of the 'Little Volcano Ring' was a link between Liu Yawen, the eldest lady with a prominent family, and the Xiangjiang Christie's auction house, she knew that after Zhang Chujiu got the relocation approval of the 'Zongheguan', he immediately began to build a temple in the Laoshan enclosure, and it should have been built very well now.
If in the past, if the dead party wanted to use his own place to have a party, Zhang Chujiu would have agreed a long time ago, anyway, the Taoist temple did not hang plaques, incense, and welcome believers, it was not a serious religious place, and there were no taboos.
But today, he replied casually: "New Year's Day is a festival of the Western calendar, what kind of ancient party do you have in the Huaguo Taoist Temple, don't mess around." ”
A woman's intuition is sometimes astonishingly sensitive, and when she heard this answer, Liu Yawen was stunned for a moment and suddenly asked, "What's on your mind, what's wrong with the big holiday?"
"Alas, no, I'm just going to the temple to have a look, and I have to call a taxi, so I won't talk to you more. Zhang Chujiu was shocked, and hurriedly hung up the phone after two sentences.
By this time he had crossed the highway and came to the sandy beach facing the sea and the winter wind.
Seeing that there was no one around, he hurriedly summoned the 'Sansheng Ding', took out a specially designed balance car, ran the 'Golden God Keli' magic power to prevent danger, and stepped on the balance car at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, rushing towards Laoshan Mountain.
Laoshan Mountain, located in the east of Jiaoao City, was also known as Prison Mountain, Lao Mountain, Ao Mountain in ancient times, and is one of the main mountain ranges of Qilu Peninsula.
The highest peak is called Jufeng, also known as Laoding, which is the first peak of the coastline of Huaguo, and has the name of "the first mountain" on the sea.
The mountain range takes Laoding as the center and extends to all directions, especially in the northwest and southwest directions, forming four branch veins of Jufeng, Sanbiao Mountain, Shimen Mountain and Wushan Mountain.
The remaining veins along the coast to the north to Jimo, west to Jiaozhou Bay, and southwest to the urban area of Jiaoao, where Zhang Chujiu built a temple.
Because Jiaoao is an international port and tourism city, most of the successive rulers are open-minded and forward-looking, and since the city began to prosper and expand, they have always paid attention to the fact that they do not do any modern development of Laoshan Mountain, which has beautiful natural scenery.
Until the promulgation of the "Huaguo Temple Management Regulations", taking the opportunity to build the so-called religious tourism planning area has become a trend, originally Qilu other cities thought that Jiaoao, which was cramped on an island, could not take out a piece of land to follow the trend.
But I didn't expect that the Jiaoao Municipal Government would be bold enough to directly plan the entire Laoshan Mountain Range into religious construction land, without wasting public financial resources, attracting many temples in the entire Qilu area and even in the surrounding provinces, revealing the intention of moving the mountain gate.
If it weren't for the state's strict management of the relocation of registered temples, only a few large temples and Taoist temples would have been able to get their wish in the end, and I am afraid that the southwest branch of Laoshan Mountain extending into the urban area would have been occupied long ago.
It took more than ten minutes for Zhang Chujiu to come to Jiaoao East City, adjacent to the urban area of Laoshan Mountain.
A spacious 12-lane road is a modern city with high-rise buildings on one side, and a misty mountain with beautiful mountains and rivers standing near the sea, skillfully blending nature and urban beauty through intervals.
Zhang Chujiu found a stall selling 'wild wontons' in the gap between the office and apartment buildings, and ate 5 large bowls of preserved egg wontons and 10 thin crispy puff pastries.
In the urban white-collar workers who hurriedly filled their stomachs before going to work in the morning, in the surprised eyes of "this cosplay little Taoist priest can really eat", wiped their mouths, burped with satisfaction, and walked away without squinting, and after a while, they crossed the road and came to their own family temple.
The temple of the descendants of the small door and small household naturally cannot stand a very magnificent mountain gate, so as not to be ridiculed by people instead of being indecent, so the direction of building the temple of the crane view is not to dominate the people, but to take the elegant route.
The view gate is the ancient Huaguo Tang style all-wood structure, the height is not more than 3 meters, the width is not more than 10 meters and there is no step, but the eaves go to the corner, exquisite and abnormal, the door beam has not yet hung the plaque, only the wind chimes of several black and white fish are scattered on the mausoleum.
The mountain wind blew with a tinkling sound, adding a bit of fun.
After entering the door, there is a bluestone slab road that can accommodate 7 or 8 people walking side by side, leading directly to the main hall and the side hall, and on both sides of the road are transplanted tall pines and cypresses, and slender green bamboos form a forest.
There is a stone road in the forest that forks, leading to the side hall and miscellaneous rooms, and there are fish ponds and small bridges dug on the way, and the pavilions and stone mountains built can be used to rest and enjoy.
The person in charge of the temple site is a middle-aged man in his 40s, who has deep wrinkles on his face because he has been exposed to the wind and sun all day.
Leading Zhang Chujiu around the Taoist temple, he said with a sense of accomplishment: "Now high-rise buildings are built with frame construction, just like building blocks.
It is not surprising that a building with several hundred floors was repaired in two or three months.
On the contrary, it is to build such an ancient courtyard-style monk temple, Taoist temple, eat kung fu, don't look at it is a one-story building, the area adds up to only five or six thousand square meters, and it really takes technology to build it.
That is, a veteran like me, can build it for you 10 days earlier than the construction period, how can Daoist Zhang still be satisfied?"
"Well, yes, yes. Zhang Chujiu stood on the high steps in front of the main hall nearly 10 meters above the ground, overlooking the entire temple, and saw that although only the main structure came out, the doors and windows were not yet installed, let alone the interior decoration, but he felt that the elegant dust taste of the Taoist cultivation was already there, and nodded with a smile: "I will settle the final payment today and remit it to your company's account." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he took the opportunity to say: "If you are satisfied, then the next phase of the renovation project might as well be handed over to our company."
Zhang Chujiu had gone bankrupt when he bought land and built a temple, and for a while he still had money to decorate, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Let's talk about this matter, Zhou Gong."
I am in such a hurry to build the temple mainly so that I can have a place to place the ancestral tablets as soon as possible, so that my grandfather will not be a lonely ghost and can eat incense and make offerings.
Now that the first phase of the project has been completed, the money in the pocket has been spent, and the second phase of decoration is only slowly carried out. ”
