"I often enjoy the excitement of a struggle – for example, when I turn on the computer and try to type the first word, but I don't choose a suitable subject, I don't think about whether to use verb-object phrases or verb-complement phrases, metaphors or similes; For example, when you decide to travel far away, but you don't choose which direction to go and the destination is that place; For example, when you are about to listen to a voice, but you don't know whether to listen to it while sitting or lying down, whether to listen with your cheeks or your face up...... Wait. Of course, there are too many of these to mention, but I can't say any more, and the reason why I don't say it is not because I am afraid that I will be verbose, but because I will not be serious if I say anything further.

I got out of bed early in the morning, and when I was taking a shower in the bathroom, I was handsome by myself in the mirror without paying attention. It is said that the moment a person has just taken a bath, his appearance will be improved by 30%-300%. Today, it seems that this rumor is true. But when I wiped the mist off the mirror and removed this layer of natural filter, I still accepted a reality rationally and calmly - I still look quite shabby. It's true!

"Check out," I tapped on the front desk.

"Here we go!" The girl yawned and walked out of the back room, less refined than yesterday, but a little more cute. Girls' outfits are always so funny, such as wearing a bear as a pajama, such as a pair of rabbit ears growing on a mobile phone case.

"Brother Tian Yu, it's early!"

"Early."

"This is leaving?"

"yes."

"In such a hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I'm getting older, and I can't sleep anymore."

"Poof...... Hahaha. You're a really annoying person, you make people laugh with two crow's feet early in the morning. ”

"Haha...... Then you control a little bit, and don't laugh. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll try not to laugh. Alas~ Leaving so early, aren't you going to visit Gufo Street to play? ”

"Go, of course."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to check out?"

"After shopping, I left straight away and didn't come back."

"Oh...... But there are many interesting places in Tianzhen, not just an ancient street, don't you go around and play in other places? ”

"No, there's something else going on."

"Well, then I wish you a nice trip."

"Thank you! Good luck too! ”

……

The morning air is fresh and moist, and it is especially pleasant to breathe. I searched all the way from memory and came to the ancient street.

This is supposed to be an old street that is not known to most people. At least before coming here, I had never heard any stories about it. However, the wonder of life pushed me from one side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain and met it. This should be a kind of fate; This is also the reason why everything in life is worthy of awe.

Visit Gufo Street is a quiet place hidden in the middle of the city. It is located on the edge of the old town, close to the new town. Its quaint and dilapidated nature hides an indescribable appeal. I've never been here before, but I feel like everything here is familiar. Perhaps, this is a place I have been to countless times in my dreams.

Visiting Gufo Street is divided into front street and back street, and the front street is inhabited by traditional artisans who make and sell incense candles, and their incense candle-making techniques have been passed down orally from generation to generation. They have lived from it for generations, and the incense has lasted for an unknown number of years.

The backstreets are more winding streets, and the streets are full of irregularly placed Buddhist shrines, which are dedicated to the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

Because it has not been touched by modern commercialization, the ancient streets and the people who live here live a plain, leisurely, and uncontested life. They never deliberately make any shouting for the examiners, and they never flatter any foreigner who comes and goes here, they only show simplicity, cooperation and friendliness. Most of the outsiders who come here are not here for sightseeing, but they are all attracted by a certain power of the ancient street and a certain hope in their hearts, just like me.

The end of spring, the beginning of summer and the end of winter are the busiest times of the year when this ancient street is at its busiest.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it's a little hot but not dry; As the winter moon draws to a close, it's a little cold but it's already faintly warm. These two sensations, after I came to this ancient street, gently hit me, and perhaps the heart of every person who came here in search of ghosts.

The way of life is complex, but the way of survival is very simple; Happiness and love are the things that everyone devotes their lives to pursuing, but happiness and love are the most difficult things to define.

Happiness and love may be divided into two kinds, one is in the eyes of others, and the other is in one's own heart. People are always accustomed to overcomplicating or simplifying life, and when I walked on the ancient Buddha Street, I realized that life is far from so much commitment, not what life gives you, but what you impose on life.

It's still quite cold in the col in the second lunar month. I walked on the bluestone pavement that had slept in the cold but was about to recover, and walked on the front street full of traces of time. In the shops on the street, people are doing their own business, and occasionally someone smiles at me, but most of the time the people in the store don't come to greet me. They have their lives, their quiet lives, and they don't want to be disturbed by anything outside.

The faint smell of cigarette smoke permeates the cold air and smells very special. There are always alleys between the front and back streets, and if you can't stand the drive of curiosity, you will always unconsciously walk from the front street to the back street, or from the back street to the front street.

The design of the Ancient Buddha Street is very special, and I don't know which master who knows Qimen Dunjia designed it. Anyway, whether it's the front street or the back street, no matter how I go, I can't get to the end in the real sense. Maybe these two streets are too long, or maybe they are interconnected with each other in a hidden cycle.

Sometimes, I think a visit to Gufo Street is a labyrinth, but this labyrinth doesn't get lost, you can easily find an exit and get out of here, but never try to figure out where it really starts and ends.

Walking and walking, I had gone from the front street to the back street. Here, the steps are not governed by the brain's thinking, and where to go and where not to go, you can only walk by feeling.

There are a lot fewer people on the back street than on the front street, but the incense is more vigorous. I've never put on incense and I don't know who lit the candles, but I love the tranquility of the ancient Buddha.

When I walked around the narrow corner, I couldn't help but cover my mouth and nose with the thick smoke that filled the streets. I squinted through the smoke and saw a benevolent Buddha sitting in it.

The ancient Buddha accepted the worship of all living beings in the world, and quietly observed the love, hatred, and hatred of all things in the world. Here, there is no earthly invasion, no prosperity and no world disputes.
