Just as Zhuang Rui and others were riding on their horses and preparing to head to the Aerzhai Grottoes, a horse's neighing sound was heard in the distance.
Seeing Zhuang Rui lose his white horse, Wu Yunqi Qige, who had always been a little unhappy, suddenly shouted loudly: "It's Xiaobai, it's my Xiaobai who is back..."
Sure enough, following Qiqige's shout, Xiaobai ran towards us from a distance. Especially when he saw Zhuang Rui and others, he raised his front hooves and raised his head to the sky.
"Xiao Bai, you miss me so much. Brother Zhuang Rui is a big bad guy. I will never let him ride you again. Huh? Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai..."
Wu Yunqi Qige jumped off her horse and hugged Xiao Bai's neck affectionately. Who knew that Xiao Bai didn't like her old master very much. After sticking out her tongue and licking Wu Yun Qiqi Ge's little hand,
, actually ran to Zhuang Rui's side in a hurry.
"Pfft..."
After sneezing, Xiaobai caressed Gong Zhuangrui with his big head, and then lowered his head to Zhui Feng. This was a gesture of submission by the horse to the leader.
"Xiaobai can now be called a thousand-mile horse..."
Zhuang Rui reached out and touched Xiaobai's head. It seemed that after combing his spiritual energy, Xiaobai's body had also been greatly improved. Otherwise, he would not have caught up so quickly. You know, those wild horses with amazing endurance,
So far, no one has come back.
"Wow……"
Zhuang Rui didn't expect that Xiaobai's intimacy with him would actually cause Wuyun Qiqige to burst into tears. He couldn't help but feel a little baffled. Just now Xiaobai didn't come, and Qiqige was about to shed tears. Now that he came back, she was crying again.
Which one?
But Zhuang Rui didn't know that Wu Yunqi had been worried about Xiaobai for a long time just now. Now that Xiaobai is here, he is more affectionate to Zhuang Rui than her master. The little girl suddenly can't accept it.
After knowing Qiqige's thoughts, Zhuang Rui felt a little dumbfounded. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Qiqige, how about... I let you ride Zhuifeng?"
Qiqige also felt that she was a little embarrassed by crying. She raised her head and said loudly: "No, I will ride my own little white..."
"Okay, let's compete to see who reaches the Hundred Eyes Cave first, okay?"
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this. He quite liked this stubborn little girl. She was straightforward and not artificial at all.
"I don't want to, I know your Chai Feng can run very fast..."
Wu Yunqiqige wiped away her tears, curled her lips and said, the little girl is innocent by nature, but that doesn't mean she is stupid. Everyone saw Zhui Feng's performance that night, racing against Zhui Feng, it was pure seeking abuse,
"Hey, let's do this. I won't participate. How about you ride Xiaobai and compete with Brother Battle?" Zhuang Rui said with a smile.
"Xiao Bai can't outrun Big Brother's blood. Brother Zhuang Rui has a bad idea..." The little girl waved her fist at Zhuang Rui angrily while wiping the sweat on Xiao Bai's neck with a handkerchief.
"Qiqige, Xiaobai ran very fast yesterday, maybe he was slower than Chixue..."
Zhuang Rui continued, he also wanted to see if the white horse transformed by his spiritual energy could compete with the red blood in terms of speed?
"Really? Okay, brother, let's compete..."
Wu Yunqiqige also thought about what happened the night before. Zhuang Rui could ride Xiaobai to catch up with the sweat horse, which showed that Xiaobai was not slow. But why could the white horse run so fast in just a few days, but the little girl could not?
Think more.
Battle was so stimulated by Chasing the Wind today that he wanted to ride his horse to vent his frustration, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, whoever reaches the Guanyin Dojo first will win..."
"What Guanyin Dojo?"
When Zhuang Rui was about to ask, the competition had already started. Not only Battle and Wu Yunqiqige, but also Peng Fei and Timur also ran out. Of course, the yellow dot ridden by Peng Fei was in the first hundred or so.
Mi, he was left far away by the people in front of him.
"Let's go..."
Four or five minutes after the first few people ran out, Zhuang Rui gently pinched Zhui Feng's abdomen and followed slowly. Zhui Feng seemed to know Zhuang Rui's mentality. He did not run at full strength this time, but even so, he was very fast.
Caught up with Peng Fei.
"Peng Fei, does it feel good to ride the mare?" Zhuang Rui laughed and ran past Peng Fei who looked depressed.
As the saying goes, Wangshan is a race to death. The Alzhai Grottoes look very close, but in fact, they are a full ten or twenty kilometers away from where Zhuang Rui and others were just now. The few people in front were considerate of the horse power and did not fully let go.
After running for half an hour, I arrived at the "Baiyan" Cave.
"Brother Zhuang Rui, I outperformed my eldest brother. I really did. Xiaobai is so amazing..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui came to Battle and others, Wu Yunqiqige's excited shouts came to his ears. Although the little girl was sweating profusely from running, her face was extremely excited, and she kept stroking her body with her hands.
Xiaobai below.
"How's it going? Qiqige, is Brother Zhuang Rui still the big bad guy? All your noobs were trained by me..."
Zhuang Rui laughed when he heard this and deliberately took the credit on himself. In doing so, he would not make Battelle and others suspicious.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Battle looked depressed and said: "Xiaobai is an authentic Ili horse. I got it with forty sheep. It is intended to be used as a stallion. The bones should be unfolded now."
Yes, but I didn’t expect it to be able to outrun the red blood…”
Xiaobai originally had a good pedigree, but he was still young, so the horse he rode for Wuyun Qiqige was not the most capable horse in Battle's racecourse, but his performance just now impressed Battle.
As for what Zhuang Rui said about training, they were automatically filtered out by Battle. Are you kidding me? If Xiaobai can be trained like this in just a day or two, then Battle will really want to worship Zhuang Rui.
Master.
"Brother Battle, is this the Guanyin Dojo you are talking about?"
After Zhuang Rui successfully diverted the attention of Battelle and others, his attention was completely attracted by the building in front of him.
Three to four hundred meters directly in front of Zhuang Rui, there is a large-scale building complex. The building is surrounded by pines and cypresses, lush and green, with blue sky, white clouds, green trees and red bricks complementing each other, just like a refreshing and pleasing landscape painting.
The Guanyin Dojo mentioned by Barter is built in this picturesque and elegant environment. From a distance, it looks like a lion lying quietly in the pine forest.
The five-color ribbons raised by the prayer flags in the dojo flutter in the wind, and from time to time there are pleasant chanting sounds. The golden sutra tower towers high in the sky, shining brightly under the sunlight, making it even more solemn and beautiful.
Zhuang Rui did not expect that such a magnificent building complex would be built around the dilapidated Baiyan Cave from a distance. After waiting for Peng Fei to arrive shouting, he left the horse in the horse gallery of the dojo.
at.
After entering the Guanyin Dojo, Zhuang Rui realized that this was a modern temple. His interest was greatly reduced. After a quick look, he passed through the Guanyin Dojo and came to the entrance of the Baiyan Cave.
Only when you walk into the Baiyan Grotto can you feel its extraordinary features more intuitively. On the precipitous cliff about 40 meters above the surrounding ground, there are large and small grottoes. At first glance, the entrances of each cave are like
It's like it was weathered out.
The Aerzhai Grottoes, known as "Dunhuang on the Prairie", occupy an important position in Chinese grotto culture and have been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Due to the severe damage to the grotto, it was originally closed to the public. However, Timur was very familiar with the management staff here, and the certificates from the Zhuang Ruijing Archaeological Institute also played a role, and finally a few people entered the grotto.
.
After viewing the three grottoes, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but exclaimed: "This place is really no worse than the Dunhuang Grottoes. In terms of the color matching of the murals, it is even better..."
The murals in the Aerzhai Grottoes are mostly colorful, mainly green, red, black, blue, white, and yellow. The pigments are minerals. Some of them were identified by Zhuang Rui and are now extinct. After hundreds of years, these murals
Still as beautiful as new.
The more than 20 murals in front of it are mostly paintings expressing important religious paintings such as the Western Xia Sakyamuni and the Bodhisattva statues, and the Yuan Dynasty worship Buddha pictures. The style of the murals shows that this place was once the Black Sect, the Red Sect, the Flower Sect, the White Sect, and the Yellow Sect.
It is the gathering place of various major schools, showing the history of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia.
"Fortunately, the little girl didn't follow. Not all Buddhism is good. What Buddhism teaches about practicing joyful meditation is not to let people release their inner desires?"
When I observed Grotto No. 28, what was painted inside was a picture of a man and a woman. One man and one woman were colorful and full of mystery. In the background halo of some pictures, they were even made of gold and platinum.
The painting is extremely exquisite and looks magnificent.
Zhuang Rui has done some research on both Buddhism and Taoism. Relatively speaking, he prefers the idea that Taoism has no beginning and no end, and that Tao gives rise to all things.
At least this kind of thinking will not lead to fanatic behavior. At least Taoist priests can get married, which is much better than those drunken monks who sell dog meat with sheep's heads.
Of course, today, when both Buddhism and Taoism are in decline, many ancient temples and Taoism temples have become places for outsiders to make money. Perhaps only some remote places can preserve the true teachings.
When he reached the first grotto on the top floor of the grotto, Zhuang Rui stopped. At the entrance of the grotto, there was a stone Souled spear. The explanation next to it showed that it was Genghis Khan.
A symbol of invincibility.
The two vertical trenches carved into the stone wall in front of the door were where Genghis Khan sat and shot arrows when he was recuperating in Arzhai.
"Huh? This...is this the "Genghis Khan Family Worship Picture"?" After entering the grotto, Zhuang Rui's eyes were tightly attracted by the murals on the wall.
The majestic man sitting on the high platform in the mural should be Genghis Khan. His three wives and the four sons who later founded the Golden Family were sitting next to him, accepting people's worship.
