Full of worldly human touch, full of strong flavor of life, full of artistic flavor;
The old gangster looked at these statues of gods and Buddhas: Buddha was as kind and simple as an elder, Vajra was as simple as a mountain man, Bodhisattva was graceful and handsome, and the smiling faces of servant girls were full of innocence. There was no majesty or mystery in each statue.
The gods and Buddhas were all gentle and approachable. They seemed to be tired of the hustle and bustle of the world and the offerings, so they gathered in Sengmao Mountain at the west end of the Qinling Mountains and spent thousands of years leisurely and elegantly.
The old gangster seems to have a special feeling, which is indescribable. There seems to be something more special behind this feeling, but this "thing" is even more indescribable.
Looking at the people nearby holding cameras or video cameras, chatting and laughing, the old gangster really wanted to stay alone, sit in front of these gods and Buddhas, and meditate. Unfortunately, the grottoes have now been transformed into tourist attractions.
Attractions were charged "tourist fees" by the local government, making it impossible for the old gangster to realize his wish.
After listening to the explanation of the tour guide who was always available, Miss Yang saw the old gangster standing here alone, staring at the Buddha statues. She squeezed through the crowd, walked to him, and said with a smile: "Hubby, here
There is a beautiful story, the story of Yifo..."
This is a story about an emperor who started in chaos and finally gave up for the sake of the country;
After hearing this, the old gangster said happily: "The Emperor Wei Wen's turmoil and abandonment of his married wife Yifushi eventually led to the collapse of the country. This is also retribution. Hey, little wife, don't be turbulent and abandon your husband!"
Otherwise, hey hey..."
Beauty Yang heard that he was talking about running away from the train again after a few words. She hummed and said softly: "Ignore you. Let's go. Let's follow the large army in front. Husband, don't keep looking at these Buddha statues in a daze.
Do you want to become a monk?"
"No way! How can I bear it!" The old gangster scratched his short hair and said with a smile.
On the afternoon of the second day of the journey, I bid farewell to Maiji Mountain and headed northwest. After an hour, I arrived at the small county town called "Gangu". After leaving the city and walking southwest for less than five kilometers, there was a "Big Elephant Mountain" standing there. The shape of this mountain
The situation is unique. It is cut into a natural section along the ridge, with the sky rising across it.
Everyone stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the five steps, one floor, ten steps and one pavilion from the root of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The palace buildings were built one after another according to the mountain's cultivation, and the layout was ingenious!
"There are so many Buddhist temples!" the quick-tongued Lu Mei sighed beside the old gangster.
It was really a murder paper. From the bottom of the mountain to the top, passing through every temple, Wang Zixuan had to consume a whole paper, which made Lu Mei feel dissatisfied!
It's a pity that she didn't dare to say it. Everyone came out this time to have fun with the boss and his wife!
As for the old gangster, although he saw that these Buddhist temples have become "commercialized", he would donate 10,000 yuan every time he visited a temple. He thought that donating to monks or Taoist priests would be considered a small meritorious deed.
Every time the old hooligan made a donation, the monks or Taoist priests next to the donation box would offer incense and chant sutras. Of course, there were also monks from several temples who were very solemn, which made the old hooligan feel that the donation of 10,000 yuan was indeed a bit small.
At "Daxiang Mountain", everyone heard a tragic story. According to legend:
In a nearby small village called "Tama Village", there was a Jima girl Li Yingxiu. Because she resisted her brother-in-law and forced her to marry a rich man, she was tied up with twine and dragged into the hands of her brother. She escaped from the house at night.
, in order to prevent his brother from finding out, he ran and put on the twine on his body, and fled to the Shuilian Cave. After putting out the twine, he had to use his own intestines to rewind it and hide in the cave. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved him, leaving behind "Your sister has entered."
"Immortal class" verse. When the brother and sister-in-law chased them into the cave, they angrily stuck the fire stick and broom in their hands on the ground, "If you really follow the gods, let it sprout!" Sure enough, the fire stick, broomstick and
The brooms sprouted into trees.
Among the crowd, several women, even the highly educated Yang Feier and Wang Zixuan, believed in this story. The old gangster, of course, was non-committal.
However, fire stick trees can still be seen growing in the temple, with branches like fire sticks; broom trees are like coiled dragons, with crowns like brooms, and the branches and leaves rustle in the breeze.
Next to this tree, there is a pool called "Mozi Pool"! After hearing the tour guide's introduction, Uncle Yang encouraged his sister in her ear: "Feifei, go down and touch a stone, and you will be able to have a boy in the future."
Giving birth to a girl!”
Beauty Yang suddenly blushed with embarrassment, snorted and ignored her elder brother.
The old gangster, of course, did not notice the appearance of his young daughter-in-law at this time. He was interested in an elderly monk in the temple.
He casually asked the old monk what "indestructible body" is, "what is alaya consciousness" and "what is meditation";
It is a pity that in this kind of commercially developed temple, there are not many real practitioners who can clear up his doubts.
He scratched his hair depressedly and thought to himself, he really wants to go to Tibet and find a lonely temple in the snowy mountains. There may be real practitioners there who are far away from the world!
In the evening, everyone's convoy arrived at the county town called "Wushan". After Wang Zixuan saw Wushan's introduction, she insisted that the old gangster take her and Yang Feier to find the "Luminous Cup"!
The luminous cup of grape wine reminds you immediately when you want to drink the pipa. Don’t laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times.
Wang Zixuan obviously thought of this poem!
Unfortunately, night had fallen, and the old gangster promised her to find a tour guide and buy some luminous cups after dawn, so that she could use them to drink grape wine.
On the third day, of course, the luminous cups were quickly bought at the factory in the city. I bought a dozen of them, 12 in total, which made Wang Zixuan very happy.
The convoy continued forward, and at noon, it arrived at the "Fenglin Pass" ferry on the bank of the Yellow River. There was a boat of dozens of tons here carrying cars and passengers.
It's a pity that the old gangster's fleet was too "large" and it took him four trips back and forth to transport the fleet to the other side. During this period, the old gangster wanted to use the water function of the RV, but was immediately stopped by everyone. Many people said,
You can also try it on the lake, the water in the Yellow River is too fast...
After crossing the Yellow River, we encountered many temples, Buddha statues, and grottoes along the way, allowing everyone to truly appreciate the prosperity of Buddhist culture in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the old hooligan and his party also visited Buddhas and temples. Along the way, they donated more than 500,000 yuan. Fortunately, the old hooligan had prepared 20 million in cash for this trip.
In the afternoon, the motorcade arrived at Ping'an Yi, which is only 30 kilometers away from Ningxi City. From a distance, they saw a red mountain like a Buddha, with a blue sky above their heads, and Huangshui under their feet, standing majestically on the north bank!
When we stopped at the "White Horse Temple" for half an hour and continued to move forward, in the RV, Miss Yang sighed: "Husband, hehe, 500 boxes of papers were handed in. Guess how many have been used now?"
The old gangster himself had never pressed the camera button, but he did see how everyone helped him "save the paper submission". He smiled depressingly: "There's no need to guess, a little angel, a brother-in-law Yang, can use it to hand in papers."
Come on, the fastest time is one roll per minute, it’s not like I didn’t see it!”
Wang Zixuan immediately smiled evilly and said: "Humph, it only costs a few dollars to submit the paper. 500 boxes are only 10,000 yuan. They saw that you donated so much to the Buddhist temple, will they save you the money to hand in the paper? Now even
Even the drivers of oil and water trucks don’t need to save you the money they bring with them!”
"Haha, handing in papers is a trivial matter. It's just that this thing takes up space, so digital is better!" the old gangster laughed.
However, when the old gangster learned that he had not arrived in Ningxi yet and had used more than 100 boxes to submit papers in more than two days, he shook his head helplessly.
Arriving at Ningxi City, everyone started to supply supplies;
water tanker replacement;
Uncle Yang took a few people to the wet market to buy fresh vegetables and meat;
Yang Fei'er and Wang Zixuan went shopping for clothes with a few bodyguards;
...
Because after this stop, many places ahead are vast and uninhabited, and you will have to camp out and have a picnic...
That evening, the motorcade was stationed by the dreamy Qinghai Lake!
As the sun sets, the vast surface of Qinghai Lake sparkles with golden light. The female relatives of the team all wear beautiful clothes, pose by the lake, and take photos;
The four accompanying drivers took the initiative to find stones for everyone and set up a stone stove; several bodyguards began to set up the tent for everyone;
As for the old gangster, of course he put on his diving goggles and swimming trunks, and was ready to catch "turtles" in the lake!
Qinghai Lake, known as the "West Sea" in ancient times, also known as "Fresh Water" or "Fresh Sea", covers an area of 4,456 square kilometers, four times the size of the Xiangjiang area. The circumference of the lake is more than 360 kilometers, and the lake stretches from east to west.
It is narrow from north to south and slightly oval. At first glance, it looks like a fat poplar leaf. The average depth of the lake is more than 19 meters, the maximum water depth is 28 meters, and the water storage capacity reaches 105 billion cubic meters. The lake elevation is 3260 meters, which is more than two meters above sea level.
Dongyue Mountain is even higher than Mount Tai. Due to the high terrain here, the climate is very cool. Even in the scorching summer, the average daily temperature is only about 15 degrees Celsius, making it an ideal summer resort.
Brother-in-law Yang saw the old gangster entering the water and was eager to give it a try, but his sister stopped him and said: "Brother, don't show off. I've seen the introduction. The water is too deep. Yifan can dive for a long time. You
No, don’t go down!”
Uncle Yang asked: "How deep can it be?"
Bodyguard Huo next to him smiled and said: "The boss can go down. We want to go down, but we have to take protective measures. But there is no swimming ring. The water here is at least 20 meters deep. Mr. Yang should give up this idea. The boss is a freak. I hear it."
He said that he can dive underwater for half an hour. We are not afraid of him going down. Haha, I hope to catch a few of the famous scaleless yellowtail fish here. This kind of fish is said to only grow one tael of flesh a year. I don’t know if it is true or not.
Haha, if we catch it, we will smell like seafood at night. Haha, the lake water here is still salty!"
Brother-in-law Yang said: "Okay, let's go fishing. I just happened to bring a few poles."
Huo Bouncer added: "In the past, there were sparsely populated areas around the lake. The local Tibetan herdsmen did not have the habit of eating fish. Outsiders rarely came here to fish. Therefore, Huang fish were able to breed in large numbers and the fish density was very high. Whenever fish floods
Seasons, 'horse riding and wading in the water will trample the fish to death', but in recent years, the fishing has been a bit serious, and if the provincial government does not close the fishing ban, we may not be able to eat it in the future."
The old gangster who had dived into the water suddenly felt as if he had returned to nature. For the past two days, he had to take a bath in the small bathroom in the RV. How could he experience such joy?
With intensive training, transformation, and a month-long swimming and diving training, the old gangster's underwater skills are very good at this time. In addition, he can "limited breathing" through the skin, and he seems to be "like a fish in water" underwater.
!
After a while, he picked up a big shell and swam to the shore. People who were not busy gathered around him and asked about the situation.
"No, the water is indeed a bit deep. It's almost 20 meters. When you reach about 10 meters, there is less light underwater. Here, this big shell. I found it in the dark. See if there are any pearls in it. Lu Juan, bring me one.
Come here with your headlamp, I want to go into the water with it!" said the old gangster.
"Hehe, boss, go down with a net bag. If you see a yellow fish, help us catch it!" Lu Mei said with a smile.
"Okay, that's good. I just met a lot of fish!" the old gangster said happily.
Beauty Yang didn't forget to tell him to be careful. The old gangster waved his hand and said: "20 meters, I'm kidding, I just tried it and I didn't feel any discomfort at all!"
After a while, he took the mesh bag, put on the headlamp, and set off again;
Under the water, the old gangster saw a group of yellow and black fish without scales, swimming over in dense numbers. He was overjoyed, opened the net bag, and fished out quickly. He caught more than twenty fish at once, and the fish that escaped the net immediately dispersed.
, rushed around, and then gathered in dense numbers not far away;
In the net bag, about five kilograms of fish kept moving, but how could they resist the old gangster's strength at this time? He looked at the net bag and saw that it was almost full, so he swam toward the surface again.
The people on the shore saw the old gangster reappearing on the lake dozens of meters away, so they started cheering again. Although Miss Yang and Wang Zixuan had great confidence in him, they were inevitably a little worried. Seeing him
After the appearance, the stone in my heart immediately fell to the ground.
"Look, is this Huangyu?" the old gangster said with a smile after landing a bag of fish.
Everyone immediately shouted in surprise;
Bodyguard Huo said: "It's just that, haha, it's a bit small. A big yellow fish can grow up to 10 kilograms. However, if you really want to gain one or two pounds of meat a year, these fish must be several years old."
The old hooligan said: "I saw a school of fish swimming close together. I covered it with a bag and caught so many!"
Everyone then began to flatter him again.
The hearts of Miss Yang and Wang Zixuan are full of pride and pride...
"Okay, bring me a big mesh bag. This looks like it must taste good. I'll grab more. Hey, there happens to be an ice machine on the RV. We can freeze it. There are some growing on the road. It's natural.
Pollution-free fish!" said the old gangster.
Although the old gangster was not so lucky and caught a school of fish as soon as he went down, within half an hour, he was caught seven or eight times, once, landed once, and finally gained more than fifty kilograms.
Beauty Yang will never let her husband be so busy again, busy for "others".
He pulled him and said, "Yifan, don't go down there. It's getting dark and the water is cold. Go take a cold bath in the RV!"
When the old gangster came out from behind the RV, he found that there were a few more people in the camp, and they kept looking at him;
After a while, I realized that it turned out to be a group of five or six travel friends, riding bicycles from Ningxi City to Sunlight City. Looking at these travel friends who were in their 20s to 40s, the old gangster walked forward and said with a smile:
"You guys are pretty good. We're thousands of miles away!"
An older traveler laughed and said: "Boss Li, your name is already well known to us. Today we want to set up a tent next to your camp. I hope you can agree!"
After saying that, several travel friends stood up and looked at the old gangster with excitement, envy, admiration, or expectancy.
"Of course. Let's have dinner together later. I really admire you for riding over there. You are very patient and confident!" the old gangster said with a smile.
This is a very sumptuous dinner compared to the outdoors: rice, braised beef with potatoes, braised Huangyu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried sausages with green peppers and onions, seaweed and vegetable soup, unlimited drinks, and a small amount of white wine.
Although there are not many dishes, fortunately they are all in large portions. Bodyguard Huo's comrade Ronaldinho is the chef, and two of the four accompanying drivers are in their 40s and are also junior chefs. The meal is very delicious.
Cool!
When the travel friends who joined temporarily heard that their ultimate goal was to climb Mount Yuzhu, they were even more envious. However, the huge cost of climbing Mount Yuzhu was not something these travel friends could afford.
How to play rich and rich, how happy it is to be poor and poor!
When a young traveler was envious of everyone, a 40-year-old driver of a gas truck laughed.
Obviously, for this 40-year-old driver, this experience will be unforgettable!
