For me, an otaku, I have no interest in going anywhere, Wang Susu chose a Lingnan ancient town, she grew up by the sea, she wanted to feel the small town style of the southwest deep forest, heavy mountain grottoes, and the land of fish and water.

When we arrived in Guangdong, we took a bus to the ancient town, the pattern of the ancient town and the ancient village is well preserved, the streets and alleys are scattered vertically and horizontally, the ancestral hall and ancient houses are dotted in the meantime, and the eaves and beams are skillfully carved. We found a arcade hotel to stay, and Wang Susu couldn't wait to pull me to take pictures in the ancient town. Walking in the small streets and alleys, it seems that time has gone back, there is no irritability, only the leisurely clouds and breezes, the pace of life has slowed down in the ancient town, if it were not for the motorcycles and bicycles that sometimes drove in the alleys, history seemed to stop.

Sitting on the stone steps, looking at the bouncing Wang Susu, the pressure poured on the bloodthirsty blue map was instantly released.

Oyster shell houses, ancestral halls, and archways all reveal the charm of Lingnan.

I was still immersed in the fantasy of a flock of ducks flowing by the pond, on the path, and in front of the door, and Wang Susu woke me up.

"Hey, Chen Ke, I asked the little brother in the bubble tea shop, let's take a look at the Phoenix Temple tomorrow."

"Why are you babbling now?"

"Hmph, what do you know, the little brother said, they are called Phoenix Village, and it has been rumored since childhood that phoenixes and phoenixes reproduce and give birth here, giving birth to peacocks, cranes, blue birds, snow owls, purple swallows, Dapeng, Zhaofeng, pheasants, and Baiming nine chicks. That's why this place is called Phoenix Village. ”

I didn't plan to go, but when I heard the word phoenix, I decided to take a look, after all, Du Liniang and 5 million can point to the phoenix skin, if there is really such a thing, this trip is worth it.

"Okay, let's go to the Phoenix Temple tomorrow to pay respects."

Early in the morning, Wang Susu picked me up, and the little brother in the milk tea shop also worked part-time as a field tour guide, so he asked him to take us to the Phoenix Temple.

The milk tea brother has a van that takes us to the Phoenix Temple, which is the summer vacation, and there is a family casually in the tourist season, a couple takes their daughter and the old lady to the Phoenix Temple.

"Hey, maybe it's a lot of people, the family is noisy all the way, and there is nowhere to put the van with melon seeds, if it weren't for the persuasion of his wife and daughter, he was going to take out a cigarette and smoke two puffs."

The helpless expression of the milk tea brother, presumably he will have to work overtime to wash the car tonight.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and the milk tea brother took us to the village on foot to the temple.

"Hey, boy, why don't you drive the car, my mother has bad legs and feet when she is older, my daughter is so young, you let her go so far in the sun."

"Uncle, don't you know, since ancient times, no matter who in this Phoenix Temple has to stop in front of the village and walk to worship."

"Boy, do you want to add money, if you want to add money, you just say it."

"Yes, do you want to add money, we have a contract, say 200 will be 200, 200 I think I gave you more." The woman scolded, pointed at the young man, spitting and spitting, a Hong Kong-style aunt was permed, her yellow hair had already faded, and she was alive and well with the image of a chartered wife, and she almost had a cigarette in her mouth.

"Chen Ke, you take care of it quickly." Wang Susu took my hand.

"Don't, this kind of thing can't be managed, haven't you heard of a saying, often compete with your peers, don't talk about the short and long with fools."

"You and him can't be worthwhile, you can only make yourself angry, let's go, let's go by ourselves first."

I said hello to my little brother, and pulled Wang Susu to walk out of the village by himself, and my little brother pointed to the location and expressed helplessness to me.

The village is not big, there is a wide cement road in the middle, and there are Lingnan-style houses on both sides, mainly sloped roofs, mainly dark gray and light white green bricks, which is very garden-like. It may be because of the tourist boom in recent years, so the village is richly decorated, the road is smooth and smooth, and the road is lined with small merchants and vendors.

Follow the avenue until you reach the end and turn left to see the location of the Phoenix Temple. The red walls and green tiles, the eaves are upturned, and there is an endless stream of people who burn incense and worship the Buddha in the temple.

Walking through the big incense burner in the temple, the special thing in the hall is not a god, but a phoenix. A gold-plated copper phoenix, with a head like a golden pheasant, a body like a mandarin duck, the wings of a roc, the legs of a crane, the beak of a parrot, and the tail of a peacock. Covered in gilt hair, with wings spread, his eyes like two red agate angrily scolding ahead. In addition to the magnificence, there is also a majesty that takes your breath away.

Wang Susu bought incense and posed with me.

Out of the Phoenix Palace, Wang Susu said: "This phoenix is so magnificent." ”

"Actually, this is a phoenix, not a phoenix. The male is called "phoenix", and the female is called "phoenix". ”

"Hehe, I don't care what it is, what wish did you make, it is said that the marriage here is very accurate." Wang Susu ran up to me, smiling and staring at me with her big eyes.

"I won't tell you, hehe."

"Humph!"

was arguing, the couple and the milk tea brother finally came over, seeing that the milk tea brother was sweating profusely and the folds on his shirt were scratched, it seemed that he had worked hard to convince the family.

They were about to go into the temple to burn incense, and we were ready to wander around the village when we were fine. The whole village has also become rich because of the development of tourism, and the houses have been renovated.

As they were circling around, there was a bang from the temple, and a large cloud of smoke came up.

The villagers hurried over, and Wang Susu and I also ran over to see what was happening.

When I got closer, I saw that the hall where I had just burned incense and worshiped the Buddha had collapsed.

"Oh no, that family and the milk tea brother will be fine."

Wang Susu and I were looking around, and we heard a commotion, and the couple quarreled with the village again.

"I want to sue you to compensate me for mental damages, you almost smashed me, you have a problem with the quality of this project."

The milk tea brother was also scolded next to him, and I pulled the milk tea brother over and asked what was going on.

"Hey, we were just about to enter the temple to burn incense, but the temple collapsed, but fortunately, there was no one in there at that time."

I breathed a sigh of relief, no one is fine, but this family is not easy to deal with.

The milk tea brother was stunned, "Our village refers to this Phoenix Temple for a living, and every year the village chief takes people to inspect and strengthen this temple, and it stands to reason that it should not collapse." ”

At this time, people got out of the way, and someone inside shouted: "Let one go, let one go, grandpa is here." ”

As soon as the village chief heard that his grandfather was coming, he also hurriedly ran over, and it seemed that this grandfather was a respected elder in the village.

Grandpa Tai was pushed in a wheelchair, and the village chief squatted next to him, his face was full of sweat, and he seemed to be in a hurry: "Grandpa, what do you say is this, why did this newly reinforced Phoenix Temple fall." ”
