Early the next morning, when everyone met downstairs, Hong Luo and Ling Xiaoxiao were still a little awkward. If their eyes accidentally met, they would deliberately turn their heads, which was completely childish behavior.
"Okay, we can't stay here much longer. We'll have a good time sightseeing today, but we have to leave tomorrow. If we spend all the time getting angry, it's not worth it." Cheng Zhen hugged Ling Xiaoxiao: "
Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"
"Yes, I checked the relevant information before coming here. I heard that the temples in Sri Lanka are the best in the world. It would be a pity not to go and take a look." After Luo Tian finished speaking, he looked at the time: "Let's go.
Well, otherwise all the time in the morning will be wasted."
Zhao Wei looked at Ling Xiaoxiao with concern: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No, it's good now. I must go to the temple to make a wish." Ling Xiaoxiao's face immediately changed: "By the way, Sri Lanka also has a mosque, right?"
"Yes, because nine percent of the people in Sri Lanka are Muslims." Zhao Wei said: "But the people here mainly believe in Buddhism, but there are some differences between the Buddha statues and those in China."
"How did you know?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked.
"I made up for my homework last night. Everything is available online." Zhao Wei said, "I believe you won't be disappointed if you go."
Seeing the positive interaction between the two, Hong Luo felt unhappy again: "There is so much to talk about. If we continue talking, do we still need to go to the temple? I will stop the car."
Even with luggage, there was no room for five people in one car. Only two taxis were hailed. Luo Tian and Cheng Zhen were in one. Hong Luo smiled evilly and squeezed into the taxi of Ling Xiaoxiao and Zhao Wei.
"This kid is bad enough." Cheng Zhen said, "He deliberately messed up the situation."
"We can all see what he is thinking, but he is just a fan of the authorities." Luo Tian said: "Let them make trouble. If they make trouble, the feeling may come out."
"That Zhao Wei is indeed pretty good. I think he is also a bit interested in Xiaoxiao." Cheng Zhen said: "Now we accidentally become a threesome. By the way, what do you think about this Zhao Wei?
"
"He is still young, but judging from his actions, he must be a vigorous and resolute person. If he is older and more experienced in the future, he will grow up very quickly." Luo Tian put his hands together: "Maybe he will really become one of us.
A strong opponent, I am somewhat eager to know what will happen to Taihua once he takes control of it."
"But I'm afraid the four major shareholders on the board of directors are not something he can deal with." Cheng Zhen said, "Unless..."
"He can win the support of the vast majority of directors on the board of directors." Luo Tian said: "I have also thought of this. If he wants to compete with the four major shareholders, he must unite all other directors to compete with him.
"
"Are you trying to wake him up?" Cheng Zhen asked curiously.
"Do you think it is necessary?" Luo Tian said: "I am happy to see a strong opponent. Now he is a lion that has not yet woken up. When he wakes up, he will naturally have his own time. A lion who has been carefully
Which one will be more viable, a protective lion or a wild lion?"
"Of course it's the latter." Cheng Zhen was a little confused: "You don't want to wait for him to grow up? This is illogical."
"It depends on what I think. If I am afraid of challenges, then I can completely protect him and let him control me. Now is a good time, but you know what kind of person I am.
The reason why Dugu Qiubei seeks defeat is because he is too lonely. I am also afraid of loneliness, and I am also afraid that without a decent opponent, I will not be able to develop," Luo Tian said.
Cheng Zhen sighed: "I don't know if you are too confident or too excited."
"Stop talking about it, look outside. This is the real scenery here." Luo Tian said: "The temple we are going to today is said to have a history of many years. It is the most recommended place by the locals here. The temple here is
There are quite a few taboos, so be sure to pay attention to them later, and just do as the Romans do."
"If there are any taboos, you have to tell me. My memory is not as good as yours." Cheng Zhen said.
"In addition to the rules of not eating after lunch, Buddhists in Sri Lanka also have rules such as not entering entertainment venues, not riding bicycles, not running fast, not riding in carts pulled by female animals, not wearing watches, and going barefoot in temples. Sri Lankans
Most of them believe in Buddhism. In daily life, people pay special respect to monks. When taking a bus, ordinary people get on the bus from the back door, while monks get on the bus from the front door. There are special seats for monks in front of the bus, and others are not allowed to sit on them."
"They are taboo on using their left hand to deliver things or food, as they regard the left hand as a dirty and despicable hand. Therefore, it is extremely impolite to deliver items to them with the left hand. Sri Lankan monks are prohibited from drinking alcohol; they also do not like to eat mushrooms. Sri Lankan Muslims fast
Pork and the use of pig products.”
"Compared to our country, there seem to be more aspects to pay attention to, and the status of novice monks seems to be more important." Cheng Zhen looked out the car window: "I have already begun to admire it."
This is an ancient Buddhist country with more than 6,000 temples across the country. Almost every temple is composed of pagodas, trees and halls.
Finally arrived at the destination. As soon as I walked into the temple gate, I saw a huge white pagoda. This pagoda is divided into six parts. It is said that the components of this pagoda are also very particular, symbolizing the devotion to Buddhism.
Pious faith.
The base of the pagoda - symbolizes the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha; the body of the pagoda - represents the profound teachings; the divine protection - symbolizes the four noble truths of suffering, the origin, cessation and Tao; the body of the pagoda - symbolizes the Eightfold Path; the top of the pagoda -
-Symbolizes the highest state of false accusation. Surrounding the pagoda is a two-story pagoda courtyard with a magnificent protective wall and exquisite Buddha statues on the wall.
"Wow, it feels so different here." Ling Xiaoxiao jumped over and took Cheng Zhen's hand: "Cheng Zhen, look, the Buddha statue on the wall is a protector, right? Why does it feel so cartoonish?"
"This is a Dharma protector, uneducated." Hong Luo was still getting angry.
"Yes, this is a Dharma protector, so it is different from ordinary Buddha statues." Luo Tian said, "But you explained that what you should look at is the Bodhi tree."
The bodhi tree is indispensable to every temple. In the sixth century BC, Sakyamuni attained enlightenment and became a Buddha under a Bibala tree. Since then, this Bibala tree has become a Bodhi tree. The meaning of Bodhi is
Enlightenment or awakening is very Zen-like.
"This bodhi tree is a sacred tree more than 2,600 years ago. It is said that it was cut from the ancient tree where Sakyamuni became a Buddha." Luo Tian said: "So this temple is also the most beautiful one.
It’s a famous one.”
"How come you know everything, like a book from heaven?" Ling Xiaoxiao said: "You said that there is no suspense at all. We might as well go in and take a look ourselves."
"I did my homework last night." Luo Tian said, "Otherwise, do you think I am a god?"
Cheng Zhen and Ling Xiaoxiao whispered, ran to the main hall to burn incense, and then knelt down and worshiped there. They looked very pious. Zhao Wei said: "It turns out that all girls believe this."
"When you have something on your mind, you will find sustenance." Seeing Cheng Zhen closing his eyes and praying, Luo Tian unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
"Look at your smile..." Hong Luo said: "It's too obvious. We are singles. You are too exposed and it is really unbearable. Next time, you can't go out with couples."
It’s so hurtful.”
"Young Master Hong," Luo Tian said, "I asked you to come here this time to spread your thoughts. You have to come up with good designs when you go back. You are not just here to have fun."
Okay, this is back to work. Hong Luo was helpless: "Okay."
The two beauties finally finished their obeisances, took the three grown men around the temple, and added money for incense before they left happily. They originally planned to eat vegetarian food in the temple, but Hong Luo said that he had no intention of doing so.
We didn’t eat meat, so we all had to look for food. We actually saw a lot of Sichuan restaurants on the road, and there were quite a lot of customers inside. Unexpectedly, the residents of Sri Lanka have a special liking for Sichuan food. After discussion, the three groups decided to eat local food.
vegetable.
While eating, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly asked Cheng Zhen: "Cheng Zhen, what wish did you just make?"
"I'm afraid it won't work after I say it, right?" Cheng Zhen said, "So I still keep it in my heart and hope it can come true."
Cheng Zhen looked very gentle when she said this, and her soft voice sounded very formal. Ling Xiaoxiao was frightened by her seriousness: "Cheng Zhen, you must have made a great wish."
"Yes." Cheng Zhen nodded affirmatively, and said with the most sincere expression: "I think it will definitely work."
"Eat vegetables." In front of other people, Luo Tian couldn't express anything. He could only put vegetables into Cheng Zhen's bowl desperately, which made Cheng Zhen feel embarrassed: "Okay, I will do it myself."
Ling Xiaoxiao looked envious, and Hong Luo felt a move in his heart. He was about to pick up a chopstick for Ling Xiaoxiao, but Zhao Wei beat him to it. He could only stare, but Ling Xiaoxiao just added fuel to the fire: "Men still need to have some grace."
It’s good.”
Hong Luo took a deep breath and pretended to be fine. Luo Tian was very happy to see that Hong Luo, a young man, also had this day. After eating, Cheng Zhen asked: "Going to the ancient city in the afternoon?"
"Yeah." Luo Tian felt that time passed too fast. The important reason for this was that he didn't know how much time he had left. Maybe it was psychological. Luo Tian felt that he had been having headaches recently. He woke up with pain in the middle of the night last night.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing, even though he was sweating profusely, he didn't want to disturb Cheng Zhen. Life here is very good, and he really doesn't want it to end...
The ancient city of Sigiriya has been the best-preserved urban center in Asia for thousands of years. The traditional Sri Lankan architectural style is vividly expressed here: gardens under the shade of trees, paths and waterside pavilions are integrated; symmetrical and asymmetrical architectural elements complement each other; the ever-changing
The plan, axis and radius design are perfectly combined; the 200-meter-high central boulder standing in the ancient city rises from the ground; two moats and three walls surround the two rectangular urban areas in the east and west of the city.
