Chapter 763 Ancient Temple Hidden in the Mountains
Xu Chunliang sent Ye Qingya downstairs to the studio, stopped and said, "Sister Qingya, please go to bed early."
Ye Qingya nodded and said, "You should go back early. By the way, don't tell anyone else about my return for the time being."
"clear."
Xu Chunliang just left after watching Ye Qingya walk into the unit door.
Because he was not on a business trip, Xu Chunliang did not choose to live in the Dongzhou Liaison Office in Beijing. He was not short of money and had no need to take advantage of the government.
Although Chen Qianfan kindly invited him to live in the office of Qianfan Group, Xu Chunliang politely declined. Firstly, he did not want to take advantage of Qianfan Group, and secondly, the place was too far from the city center.
He chose a hotel near Shuimu. After May Day, there was the centralized training of Europa Business School. He took it easy as he came and simply waited for the training to be over before leaving. Unexpectedly, when he came to Beijing this time, he would not only be a student, but also have the opportunity to be a guest teacher.
character of.
As soon as Xu Chunliang entered the hotel lobby, Pu Jian called and asked him if he had gone to Duanyun Temple?
Xu Chunliang was a little surprised. Why did he think of asking about this place? After asking, he learned that someone had entrusted Pu Jian to help repair Duyun Temple. The condition was that a construction team specialized in restoring ancient buildings should be found to do the work, and the repairs should be as old as possible.
Xu Chunliang immediately guessed who the client was: "Is Mo Han looking for you?"
Pu Jian laughed a little sheepishly: "I really can't hide anything from you. She said that the temple was in disrepair, so she offered me a sum of money to help find someone to renovate it."
Xu Chunliang said: "I have been there once."
Pu Jian immediately became energetic when he heard this: "Are you free tomorrow? Can you go to Duyun Temple with me? I haven't had much dealings with monks in the past."
Xu Chunliang had nothing to do anyway, so going to Shuren to teach would be a matter of the day after tomorrow, so he agreed.
Early the next morning, Pu Jian drove a Subaru Forester to pick him up. Also in the car was Ge Guangming, who was known as an expert in ancient building restoration. It was said that he had contracted the restoration projects of the Forbidden City and the Confucius Temple in the past.
Xu Chunliang was skeptical, saying that people should not be judged by appearance, but Ge Guangming was too ordinary in appearance. From his appearance to his clothes, he exuded a rustic style, and there was no trace of culture at all from head to toe.
Ge Guangming took the initiative to shake hands with him. His palms were covered with calluses. The hands of typical working people were specialized in physical labor.
Pu Jianwei and the two made a brief introduction and asked them to get in the car quickly. According to the location Mo Han sent him, the Duyun Temple is still more than a hundred kilometers away from here.
Xu Chunliang received a call from Ye Qingya before he got in the car, but it was she who had prepared the lesson plan in advance and asked Xu Chunliang if he needed it. If necessary, he could take time to come to her studio to get it.
Xu Chunliang said that he was preparing to go to Duyun Temple and would probably come back very late today.
Ye Qingya has never heard of the name of Duanyun Temple.
Xu Chunliang briefly said that Ye Qingya heard that there were many exquisite cliff carvings in Duyun Temple, and she immediately became interested. She offered to go there with Xu Chunliang to find out.
Since Ye Qingya proposed it, Xu Chunliang certainly couldn't refuse, since there was still room in the car anyway.
Pu Jian was a little surprised when he heard that Ye Qingya was going to go with him. After all, Qiao Rulong was still hospitalized in Dongzhou, and Ye Qingya actually left him and returned to the capital. The relationship between the couple didn't seem to be going well.
He didn't doubt that Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya had anything to do with each other. After all, he knew that Ye Qingya was Xu Chunliang's god-sister.
Xu Chunliang specifically reminded Pu Jian that Ye Qingya used to burn incense and pray for blessings. When he saw Ye Qingya, he should just pretend that he didn't know her and don't tell anyone what happened today.
Pu Jian drove to Ye Qingya's studio to pick her up, which delayed some time.
Xu Chunliang remembered that it took more than three hours to go to Duyun Temple last time, but it was snowing that time. This time it was much smoother. Pu Jian drove to the place in just over an hour.
Pu Jian and Ge Guangming originally thought that the car could drive directly to the gate of Duyun Temple. When they arrived, they realized that it would be difficult to do. It would take more than half an hour to walk from the parking lot to Duyun Temple on the mountain road.
Ge Guangming complained bitterly when he was halfway through: "It's impossible to do this work. Cars can't drive on this road. Do we have to carry the construction materials manually?"
Pu Jian said: "Don't rush to draw conclusions first, go to the place and take a look before talking."
Xu Chunliang guessed that this guy had something to gain, otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard to help Mo Han.
The reason why Ye Qingya took the initiative to come over and take a look was mainly because she was afraid of being alone. After going back last night, she couldn't sleep all night. She thought she could calm down after returning to the capital and locking herself in the studio. In fact,
But it was even more troublesome.
Going out today also had some relaxing qualities.
Xu Chunliang saw that her face was pale and she looked tired, so he guessed that she had not slept well last night, so he handed her a piece of chocolate to replenish her energy.
Ye Qingya said: "Isn't this place already outside the scope of the capital?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I'm a road addict. It was snowing when I came here last time. The environment feels completely different, but the direction should be right."
Following the rugged mountain road into the woods ahead, I heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the woods. Turning around the rocks in front, I saw a clear spring flowing down, with dancing beads splashing jade. Beside the spring, there was a monk wearing gray monk's robes who was dancing.
He took a ladle and poured the spring water into the bucket.
Xu Chunliang recognized that the monk was the mute monk from Duyun Temple.
Ye Qingya said: "Chunliang, do you know the story about the ancient temple hidden in the mountains?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head.
Ye Qingya said as she walked.
Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, loved calligraphy and painting, and founded and took charge of the world's earliest royal painting academy. This outstanding calligrapher and painter established a painting school, personally taught classes and established a calligraphy and painting examination system, personally set and graded papers, cultivated painting talents, and created a generation of painting style.
At that time, the examination standard of the painting academy was: complete brushstrokes. He gave the students a question called Hidden Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountains.
This topic sounds very clear in purpose and has a sense of picture, but it is not that easy to draw a colorful picture.
Some people paint an ancient temple on the mountainside, some paint the ancient temple deep in the jungle. Some people paint the temple completely, and some only paint a corner of the temple or a broken section of the temple... These can be said to be the top of the Song Dynasty.
group of painters.
Zhao Ji looked at one painting after another, but there was never a painting that satisfied him. Just when he was disappointed, a painting jumped into his eyes. After looking at it carefully, Song Huizong nodded in praise and sighed.
, this is the top choice work!
Everyone went to look around and found that there was no temple at all in the painting. The painting was of springs and waterfalls in the mountains. There was an old monk carrying water by the spring. Just such a water-carrying monk made "an ancient temple hidden in the mountains"
"This title is implicit and profound.
The concept of this painting is extremely clever. The monk carries water, which is of course used for cooking and washing clothes. It is not difficult to imagine that there must be a temple nearby. The monk is old and has to carry water himself. You can imagine where he lives.
The place is a dilapidated ancient temple. There is only a deep mountain but no temple in the picture, which expresses the Tibetan characters very accurately. Compared with those paintings that depict a corner of a temple or a section of a temple wall, this painting is more in line with the concept of "deep mountains".
The meaning of the title "Tibetan Ancient Temple".
Those painters who were unsuccessful were not poor in painting skills, but because of mediocre ideas.
Pu Jian listened with interest: "This story is very philosophical. I often think that others can make money in the same business, but I can't. It's not that I'm not capable, but that I look at the problem from the wrong perspective."
Ye Qingya smiled calmly and said: "People are different, and of course they have different ways of looking at the world."
The mute monk saw Xu Chunliang and smiled at him while carrying a bucket. He remembered Xu Chunliang and it was Xu Chunliang who cured Master Tonghui.
Xu Chunliang said: "Master, are you okay?"
The mute monk grinned: "Abba! Abba!"
Heavy rains a few days ago triggered flash floods and destroyed two Buddhist halls in Duyun Temple.
When they arrived, Monk Tonghui was drying Buddhist scriptures on the rocks.
Seeing Xu Chunliang appear in front of her, Tong Hui said happily: "Donor Xu, why are you here!"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Master, don't you welcome me?"
Tong Hui said: "No, Miss Mo said someone would come over today, but she didn't mention it was you."
Xu Chunliang introduced Pu Jian and Ge Guangming to Tong Hui, and Tong Hui stepped forward to salute them.
Tong Hui invited them to go to the cave to drink tea. Pu Jian waved his hand and said: "Let's take a look at the damage to your temple first. This is the ancient building restoration expert I specially invited. His previous jobs were all in the Forbidden City.
Confucius Temple, it took a lot of effort for me to invite him here."
Tong Hui thanked him repeatedly.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Master Ge can be regarded as a great craftsman, so there will be no problem in repairing Duyun Temple."
Even if Ge Guangming didn't have much education, he could tell that Xu Chunliang was mocking him. What kind of craftsman was he? Tong Hui took Ge Guangming to see the damaged areas first. Pu Jian, as the middleman, of course had to follow.
Xu Chunliang did not go, but took Ye Qingya to visit the Main Hall.
Ye Qingya lit three sticks of incense and knelt down in front of the Buddha.
Seeing how pious she was, Xu Chunliang did not disturb her and quietly left the hall.
The mute monk was waiting for him at the door and gestured to Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang didn't understand what he meant. While he was trying to figure it out, Ye Qingya came out and said softly: "This master asked you what you like to eat?"
Xu Chunliang said: "If I like eating meat and drinking wine, will he do it for me?"
Ye Qingya wanted to laugh a little. She actually understood the mute language. She communicated with the mute and told the mute guest to do whatever he wanted and what they ate. When they came to this ancient temple in the mountains, Ye Qingya's mood actually improved a lot. She temporarily left the world behind.
Put aside your worries.
The mute monk pointed to the cave and said that they could visit the cliff carvings first.
Xu Chunliang took Ye Qingya there. Ye Qingya originally came just to relax, but when she saw the calligraphy on the cliff stone carvings, she was immediately attracted. Most of these stone carvings were recently carved.
Chunliang told her that the recent carvings were all done by monk Tonghui.
