Chapter 46: The Monk

Wang Lung was completely idle.

After leaving Sister Lu's house, Wang Lung went to the fighting ring, looked at the thugs who were fighting with him, and said goodbye to everyone, he was afraid that he would suddenly have something to do and leave regrets in a hurry.

Lou Qingyun just made a phone call there, and he didn't have to tell the other party, but Wang Lung thought about it and said goodbye, after all, he didn't know many people in Jinan.

It's March 3 of another year, and kites fly all over the sky.

Today's weather is very good, the breeze is blowing, the temperature in Jinan in April began to warm, although from time to time there is a cold air, but still can not stop the catkins from flying, spring blooming.

Today is neither a weekend nor a holiday, except for busy pedestrians on the road, it is rare to see tourists, Wang Long's arrangement today is to see the first spring and then climb the Thousand Buddha Mountain.

At the beginning, the plan was not like this, but first to Daming Lake, Wulong Pond, Baotu Spring and then climb Thousand Buddha Mountain tomorrow.

When the three of them went out, Wang Lung was bored and bought a newspaper, which happened to introduce that there was an annual blind date meeting in Qianfoshan today.

This discovery immediately made the three of them change their itinerary, and there was a blind date meeting in the place where the Buddha was worshipped, and I don't know who paid attention to this kind of good thing.

Although Xue Jiao had heard about the blind date conference when she was in school in Jinan, she had never seen it, she only knew that Lu Dao had been held for many sessions, and there would be a blind date conference at this time of year every year.

The three of them were very interested in this, and originally wanted to go directly to the scene, but Qing'er said that she wanted to see what Baotu Spring was like first, and then go to Qianfo Mountain to see after visiting Baotu Spring.

"The first spring in the world", when the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty visited the south, he watched Baotu Spring and was excited, and inscribed the word "turbulence" to Baotu Spring.

The constant temperature of the spring water is about 18 degrees all year round, especially in winter, the water vapor on the water surface curls like a thin layer of smoke, on one side is the spring pool is deep and deep, sparkling, on the other side is the pavilion painting, carved beams and painted buildings, a good fairyland on earth.

"Baotu Soaring" is the first of the eight scenic spots in Jinan.

But for Wang Long and Qing'er, no matter how good Baotu Spring is, it is also a man-made landscape in the city, the pavilions and pavilions are the same everywhere, and looking at Baotu Spring is just a fresh, there are a lot of spring water, and Qing'er prefers the koi in the water.

After visiting Baotu Spring, the three of them took a stroll in Quancheng Square by the way, and when it was close to noon, Wang Lung wanted to go directly to the foot of Qianfo Mountain to eat, but Xue Jiao proposed to go to Furong Street to eat snacks.

Furong Street is also a feature of Jinan, it seems that I have never known that Furong Street was built in that year, and all kinds of domestic and foreign specialty snacks can be found here.

Other places may be deserted, but Furong Street is an exception, there will never be people here all year round, especially when it comes to eating spots, Zheng Zeshi's kind of body comes here for a walk, and he can definitely be Gong Hanlin.

After leaving Furong Street, Wang Long and the three of them left two regrets here.

One is to turn for a long time to know that there is a special snack "oil spin" in Jinan, which has the "first street of Qilu snacks" Furong Street Jinan local snacks are so pitiful, I really don't know how to eat Lu Dao, I was shocked when I ate it.

The other is that the Furong Spring is actually in the root of the wall, but the three of them are suffering, and the three of them walked nearly three times to find the Furong Street of more than 400 meters.

Temporarily abandoning the pain of Furong Street, the three took a taxi to Thousand Buddha Mountain.

When buying tickets, Wang Lung inquired with the conductor, and the blind date meeting was held at the main gate (north gate) of Qianfo Mountain, a little east of it.

When the three of them took a taxi, they discussed, and after arriving at Qianfo Mountain, they first went to the blind date meeting to see the excitement, and then went directly up the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then went over and over again when the various scenic spots on the mountain went down.

Entering the mountain gate and climbing the stairs, what made Wang Long and the three of them wonder is that they have not seen any shadow of the blind date conference, and there are real estate developers on both sides who set up tables to advertise, if it were not for the blind date conference There are many advertising banners, the three of them thought they were in the wrong place and ran to the real estate fair.

After walking for a few minutes, the three of them finally saw the legendary blind date meeting.

Sure enough, it was unprecedented, and there were people everywhere, men, women, and children, all kinds of people.

Looking at the colorful paper hanging on the trees all over the mountains, there were as many as three or four thousand, Wang Lung and the three of them glanced at each other, what was going on?

The three of them watched while walking, and finally figured out what this blind date meeting was all about.

The so-called blind date conference is that some unmarried, divorced, second marriage, third marriage, etc., anyway, a group of old and young masters and mothers-in-law who are not married put their personal resumes on colored paper and hung on the tree, and a wisher is hooked.

After hanging up your own, prepare a bunch of small pastes, leave your own information and contact information, and paste them when you see the prey, especially some eye-catching "Gao Fu Shuai" and "Bai Fumei" advertisements are basically full.

Wang Lung saw that someone's resume was full of no place to paste, and he didn't know that the inventor in Lu Dao had connected a piece of scotch tape underneath, and the tape was connected to the Great Wall, and he didn't know if this guy in Lu Dao could do so much.

Wang Lung looked at it carefully at first, and after a long time, he got annoyed, what is all this?

A certain woman, in her 20s, has a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan, and asks for a house, and some ask for a car. Regardless of beauty or ugliness, you yourself only have a salary of about 1,000 yuan a month, why do you ask for that?

The husband and wife are sharing weal and woe, buying a house and a car to work together, before they get married, they first ask for an RV, meet the conditions before getting married, and go directly to enjoy happiness after marrying, which is looking for a wife, it is simply looking for an ancestor.

What annoyed Wang Lung the most was not this, but that it hadn't stopped since the three of them entered the venue.

Especially Qing'er and Xue Jiao, they are both strong contenders for the championship in the beauty pageant, let alone enter this kind of half-baked blind date meeting.

Seeing that Xue Jiao and Qing'er's cattle were like Bi Ma Wen who had broken through Wuzhi Mountain, they ran to the two girls with joy.

Although there were many onlookers, after seeing Xue Jiao and Qing'er's appearances, none of them took the initiative to talk, and everyone was thinking about their own conditions in their hearts, whether they were enough for the two girls to choose.

It's not that there are no brave people, but the onlookers quickly recognized Wang Long and the three, after all, most of them are young people on blind dates.

Wang Lung, who turned purple because of "Drifting Snow in the Rivers and Lakes", is still known to many people, and the onlookers directly turned into an autograph session.

Finally escaped from the crowd Wang Lung looked at Xue Jiao and Qing'er next to him and smiled helplessly, they took this factor into account when they discussed going out last night.

Today's day is not a weekend or a holiday, and there are few people playing, so even if you are recognized, it will not cause onlookers.

But today, when I went out and saw the advertisement of the Thousand Buddha Mountain Blind Date Conference, I forgot about this stubble, although I was also recognized when I visited Baotu Spring and Quancheng Square, but there were few people at that time, and I didn't think about it so much.

The three of them took a short break and moved forward directly according to the original plan.

In addition to the pavilion on the top of the Thousand Buddha Mountain, it is an empty rock, and it is uneven, standing in the pavilion and looking into the distance, you can faintly see the shadow of Daming Lake.

The air quality in Jinan is a bit poor, and the famous scene of Foshan's reflection can be seen once in a year.

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Wang Lung and Qing'er could feel a little natural taste, this faint aftertaste could only be enjoyed with their eyes closed, and when they opened their eyes, in addition to the distant hillside, there were high-rise buildings everywhere.

The wind on the mountain is strong, and it is spring, Wang Lung and Qing'er don't care, but Xue Jiao is almost unable to open her eyes when she is blown by the wind.

It's only three o'clock in the afternoon, and I can't find a shady place in the sun.

The three of them just walked around the top of the mountain for a short time and began to descend the mountain, preparing to take a slow stroll through one scenic spot after another.

Xingguo Temple is located in the half of the Yin Mountain of Thousand Buddha Mountain, the south is surrounded by cliffs, the north is Quancheng, and it is one of the main buildings of Thousand Buddha Mountain.

Formerly known as Thousand Buddha Temple, the name of Xingguo Temple during the Tang Zhenguan period. The whole temple hall pavilion corridor is scattered, the pine and cypress are green and draining, the bell is full of ears, and the cigarette smoke is around.

"Several miles of Chengnan Temple, pine deep winding path. The sun sets over the lake, and the lonely peak is inserted into the clear stream. The clouds surround the monk's room in the mountain, and the moss invades the stone Buddha's head. There are many methods of water in the cave, washing the worries of the guests. This Ming Dynasty Liu Yi's "Yongxingguo Temple" vividly describes the beauty of the ancient temple of Shanse.

None of Wang Long's three people are people who worship Buddha, all of them are atheists, and they came to Xingguo Temple just for fun.

A separate ticket is required to enter the Xingguo Temple, after all, the monks in the courtyard have to eat, drink and Lasa, and the Buddha statues and temples must also be repaired, and it is understandable to collect some tickets.

However, as soon as Wang Lung bought the tickets, the three of them were stopped by two monks before they entered the temple gate.

The other party did not perform Buddhist rituals, nor did he speak, and he was blocked at the door with his shoulders held but not allowed to enter.

Looking at the faces of the two monks, they look exactly the same, they may be twins, except for a little difference in size, they really can't tell the difference.

The bald head has no ring scars, he is about twenty years old, the clothes on his body are a little awkward, and he looks like a monk's robe if he looks closely, and it is not a monk's robe.

Wang Lung was very puzzled, turned his head and looked around, did he not find any signs that were temporarily closed, but after turning around for a long time, he didn't find anything.

"Two masters, what do you mean by this, why don't you let you in when you block the door?"

After all, the other party is a monk, although Wang Lung is depressed, but he also knows that he can't just shake his face casually, he shook the ticket in his hand and signaled to the other party, we didn't evade the ticket, we bought the ticket, give a reason first.

"Do me a favor and let you in. One of them, a little shorter, spoke first.

Hehe, interesting, buy a ticket to block the door and not let you in, talk about the conditions first, I've heard of bullying and dominating the market, I really haven't seen a monk blocking the door, just have the conditions, listen to what they mean first.

Wang Lung thought happily in his heart, looked at Xue Jiao and Qing'er beside him, the two girls were also stunned by the two monks, and they didn't know what was going on with Lu Dao, and they were looking at Wang Lung and asking him to make up his mind.

"Oh, two masters, please speak, I don't know if there is anything you can do to help. Wang Lung made up his mind to listen to the other party's conditions first.

"Hey, what are you doing, you can't get in?"

Before the three of them could wait for the monk to reply, they were all shouted at by the voice of the ticket inspector on the side.

"Oh... Enter... Hey, but..."

Wang Lung broke out in a cold sweat, and this was just a moment of distraction.

He originally wanted to explain: Of course we will go in, and it will not be a fool to buy a ticket and not enter, but hey, but don't you see that there are two monks blocking the door and not letting you in? This is what Wang Lung wanted to say in his heart, but he couldn't express it at all.

The monk is gone, Wang Lung has looked up and down, left and right, back and forth several times, and there is not even a shadow of the monk's hair, what the hell is going on?

No, if it's just me who sees it, it can explain that I hit the evil spirit, Xue Jiao and Qing'er also saw it, someone must be a ghost.

"Can't get in? There are still people queuing up behind you, don't get in the way if you don't enter!" the ticket inspector was urging again.

"What about those two monks just now?" asked Wang Lung as he handed the ticket in his hand to the other party.

"Monk, you are all in the courtyard, what kind of dignitary do you think you are, and you want the master to go out to greet you, go quickly, go quickly, don't get in the way." The tone of the ticket inspector was not good, and he tore off the ticket sub-scroll with his hand, and Cui Wang Long and the three of them hurriedly walked forward.

Under the urging of the ticket check, Wang Long and the three of them could not continue to block the door at all, so they could only enter the temple gate with the ticket check.

Just now, there were obviously two monks blocking the gate, but now it has been replaced by Wang Long.

After entering the Xingguo Temple, Wang Long and the three of them didn't go far inside, and stopped next to a corner.

The whole thing is very strange, and I can't figure out that this temple is also unpleasant.

Wang Lung asked Xue Jiao and Qing'er to confirm that he didn't run into the evil, Xue Jiao and Qing'er had seen it, and they also heard each other's questioning, but the two of them didn't know how the other party disappeared.

Wang Lung was confident that he was not slow to react, but just lost his mind, and looking at the attitude of the ticket inspector just now, he couldn't tell whether the other party was lying.

Wang Lung and the ticket inspector were only less than two meters away, and even a blind man could sense how many people were next to him, but the other party didn't even see it.

Could it be that this thousand-year-old temple still has secrets?
