Chapter 52: Travel
After packing up the salute, Ling'er took the stick, Lan Sheng took Xiao, dressed up with the pig, Wu Gang, and Xin'er went on the road together.
At the gate of the temple, they greeted Master Guan and Grandpa Lu, Chenghuang Ye, and Land Lord, who rushed to hear the news. Then a few people walked along a small stone path in Lotus Town.
Several people walked very fast, they walked for a while, and used the Shifting Dafa to drift for a while. Lan Sheng pulled Wenwen, Ling'er held the stick, and after a while, he arrived at the Zhongyue Temple at the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain.
Zhongyue Temple is the holy place of the mainstream of Taoism in China. Its predecessor was the Taimur Temple, which was built in 221-207 BC in the Qin Dynasty as a place to worship the Taimur Mountain God.
In the first year of Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty (110 B.C.), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended to Songshan, sacrificed here, and personally visited the Taizong Ancestral Hall, sealed the Shinto, sealed Songshan Mountain as Songgao Mountain, officially named after Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan, tied for the four mountains, and located in the middle of Songshan.
Several people went to Zhongyue Temple, paid homage to Siyue Taizu, and practiced some Taoism with several Quanzhen Taoist priests who had attained Taoism, and recited the Tao Te Ching. I didn't feel that the sun was on the three poles, and after a simple meal, I said goodbye to the Taoist priests.
Further on, there is the Shaolin Temple.
Dressed as a pig and leading Wu Gang, Xin'er is ready to visit the Shaolin Temple, and then go north. Ling'er, Lan Sheng, and Wenwen decided to get off the road here, and the first stop was Xinyang.
Several people stood there and spoke for a while. Xin'er hugged the stick, a little reluctant.
Lan Sheng hugged his fists and said goodbye to Wu Gang. Don't look at Wu Gang's eight-foot man, tall and big, he is fragile like a child at the moment. With tears in his eyes, he said one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right, and he never finished talking.
Seeing this situation, the pig shouted: "It's not early, let's go on the road, if there is any problem, report and contact in time." ”
As he spoke, the pig dressed up in a leap and went into the air.
When the big guy saw the pig dressed up and leap into the air, he consciously divided into two formations.
The pig dressed up and walked all the way to Shaolin Temple, and Ling'er took Lan Sheng and Wenwen and began to walk in the direction of Xinyang.
Lan Sheng was in the air, blowing his own Xiao. He played a song of plum blossoms, and Ling'er held the stick and listened very attentively.
After a while, I arrived in Xinyang. Ling'er led Lan Sheng and Wenwen to Jigong Mountain first. The shape of Jigong Mountain resembles a chicken, and the mountain is not high, but the mountain peaks are tall and tall, and it is famous far and wide.
In the clouds and mist, the pine and cypress, the strange peaks and valleys, set off the eclectic villas, the scenery is very enchanting.
Several people have been wandering here for a long time, enjoying the beautiful scenery of nature on the surface, but in fact they are not calm in their hearts, and they have their own plans.
Ling'er was thinking about sending Wenwen to Hangzhou as soon as possible, but not too explicitly.
When he came, Lan Sheng told Wenwen that this way to the south is to visit Lingchuan, not to send you to your hometown in Hangzhou. You and we will practice all the way, and by the way, you can also practice the Dao.
Although Wenwen was still a little uneasy in his heart, he still believed Lan Sheng's words.
She felt that through the contact with Lan Sheng these days, the emotions of the past were ignited in Lan Sheng's heart again. In particular, she Wenwen fell into the hands of the Meihu clan twice, which touched Lan Sheng a lot.
He must have been worried about me, so he asked me to practice the Tao with him. When the time comes, you will be able to protect yourself in any emergency situation.
It's just that Ling'er and Lan Sheng's master accompanied her, and her eyes were really sharp. What he thinks in his heart and what he wants to do, Ling'er is clear.
She doesn't want to go against Ling'er, especially now, when the three of them are together, Ling'er is still used in many places. She must learn to be patient, learn to be humble, and learn to live peacefully with her opponents, so that she can be safe.
Ling'er was thinking about how long it would take to get to Hangzhou on the road. A month, two months, or half a year.
According to Taishang Laojun's meaning, they want to study and communicate in larger temples, and they also have to visit Mingshan Lingchuan. The purpose is to improve one's self-cultivation and let oneself stand on a higher platform to observe, see and think about the world.
She and Lan Sheng must dive into cultivation, and they must also absorb and accommodate some valuable experiences in Buddhism, so as to achieve the deepest level of true communication between Taoism and Buddhism.
Then delay for some more time, practice some Taoism, visit famous temples, and then travel to Hangzhou, Wenwen's vigilance is not obvious. In this way, it is easy to accept Lan Sheng to persuade her to stay at home for a period of time first.
Wenwen was also thinking that Lan Sheng and the others were divided into two roads, one to the north and one to the south, which seemed to be a pre-arranged route of action. The purpose is to avoid merging with the Meihu clan, accumulate strength, and learn more Taoism.
No matter what, let's go and observe, if you want me Wenwen to leave Brother Lan Sheng, you Ling'er don't even think about it.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Ling'er with her eyes, but saw Ling'er looking at her with a pair of eyes.
Coming down from Jigong Mountain, three people held sticks and went to Huanglong Temple and Lingshan Temple to worship.
Whenever they go to a temple, they put incense, and after the incense is burned, the gods of the local temple will come. Ling'er just smiled, didn't speak, and finally gave the fairy a bow, which was regarded as a return of the gift.
Early the next morning, the three of them drank rice wine at the stall, and Ling'er bought some green tea from Xinyang at the street entrance, rested a little in the hotel, and started on the road.
They stopped at the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan for a while, went to Changchun to see incense, and finally went to the Buddhist holy places of Guiyuan Temple and Baotong Temple to worship the Buddha and Guanyin.
When they arrived in Changsha, the three of them went to Yuelu Academy for a turn, and then went to the Ferris wheel to take a casual look.
From Shiyan Lake to Guanshan Ancient Town, it was already dark. A few people sat in the antique shop, asked for a pot of wine, a few dishes of side dishes, and began to talk about the clouds.
During this period, Ling'er made a phone call to Xin'er and learned that they had arrived at the summer resort in Chengde. The two of them chatted for a while, and Ling'er hung up the phone.
Wenwen brought a glass of wine to Ling'er and asked Ling'er if she could drink her glass.
Ling'er asked, "Is there a reason?"
Wenwen said: "Thank you for taking care of you all the way. ”
Ling'er drank the wine Wenwen brought in one gulp, and Wenwen punished herself with another glass.
Lan Sheng was afraid that the two of them would drink too much, so he persuaded them to stop. I stopped drinking, ate some food and rested in the hotel.
It may be that the two of them drank to the end, and Lan Sheng's words no longer worked. Wenwen shouted to pour wine for Ling'er, and Ling'er also urged Lan Sheng to pour wine for Wenwen.
Lan Sheng thought, since they all want to drink, let's have a good drink. The three of them tied their heads together and began to touch glasses of wine. After a while, my tongue was bigger.
The three of them came to the hotel with their arms, and after entering the room, Lan Sheng made tea and was about to go out, but was dragged back by Ling'er.
Ling'er said, "Brother Lan Sheng, you're so stupid, can't you see what's going on in my heart?"
Lan Shengjiu'er also came up, so he held Ling'er's hand and said, "Master, do you know what I think in my heart?"
Wenwen staggered to Ling'er and Lan Sheng, and stood between the two of them to separate them.
Wenwen whispered: "Brother Lan Sheng, do you know what I think in my heart, you touch my chest and listen to my heartbeat." ”
The three of them sat on the edge of the bed, and before they knew it, they fell asleep on the bed.
