Chapter 189 Sudden news of the arrival of an expert
Just have dinner.
The two held hands, walked out of the fly restaurant, and walked on the brightly lit street.
A breeze blew by, blowing their hair.
Under the illumination of the lights, the two people's moods gradually became calmer and peaceful.
The two of them sometimes joked about each other, sometimes talked about what was on their minds, sometimes imagined what might happen in the future, and sometimes talked about what might happen now.
In this way, the two strolled and talked all the way back to the hotel.
Zhang Hao did not go up immediately, but wandered outside the hotel for a while, leaving Li Siyu enough time to wash up. He waited until Li Siyu finished washing up and put on clean clothes before he entered the hotel. Simply Washed up.
Then, the two of them watched TV in the hotel. Late at night, Zhang Hao hugged a quilt and ran to the soft sofa to lie down, while Li Siyu lay on the bed.
After all the lights in the house went out.
"Good night."
"Good night."
The two said good night to each other and fell into sleep together.
A night of silence.
After dawn, the two of them got up separately, washed briefly, walked out of the hotel, and ate a bowl of fish meal.
Fish meal is also a local specialty. Fresh fish meat is mixed with rice noodles, rolled into a round shape, and cooked in delicious fish soup. The deliciousness of the fish soup is perfectly immersed in the fish meal. As you bite up and down with your teeth, the fish meal is in your mouth. It seemed to explode, bursting out with delicious fish soup.
The rich flavor fills your mouth with endless aftertaste.
And such a bowl of hot fish soup enters the stomach and warms the whole day.
After finishing breakfast, Li Siyu received a call from the organizer and she was going to record the show.
When Li Siyu was picked up by the nanny car, Zhang Hao also started to prepare his own things.
Turning back to the hotel, he took the Guling Basket, prepared the Thunder Tribulation wooden hammer, paper-tying tools, carving tools, etc., put on his straw sandals, left the hotel, and walked towards Hengshan Mountain.
The main purpose of his coming here this time is to walk around Hengshan and see if he can encounter any mountain treasures. If he can encounter mountain treasures, that will naturally be the best thing, but if he can't, then it's okay. There is no way, it can only mean that he came at the wrong time.
According to Zhang Hao's understanding and experience of reading [Mountain Travel Notes], there are actually mountain treasures in every mountain. It is just based on the attributes of the mountain and whether the mountain is isolated from the world, etc., that the mountain treasures will be found. Slightly different.
For example, the mountain behind Zhaojiacun is because almost no one goes up the mountain. If things go on like this, no one knows about the mountain treasures. As long as no one goes up the mountain, no one will notice the strange things on the mountain. Therefore, there will be more mountain treasures.
Because Shanbao prefers such mountains, where it will not be discovered and can grow silently.
For mountains like Wuyue, which have a relatively large flow of people and have been built into scenic spots, the number of mountain treasures will not be too many. In other words, most of the mountain treasures are hidden and will not appear. .
The reason is that there are too many people, and the mountain treasures are afraid of being caught, but they are destined to be caught, so this is why the mountain treasures do not want to be caught, so they can only hide.
Of course, the main reason is that many mountains have been developed into scenic spots. As a result, there are fewer and fewer mountains like Zhaojiacun, and the number of mountain treasures is also gradually decreasing. The living environment of mountain treasures Being squeezed, they will choose to leave here and go somewhere else.
Therefore, it is not easy to find mountain treasures in mountains like Wuyue, but it is not impossible to find them.
Thinking like this, Zhang Hao quickly walked to the entrance of Hengshan Mountain. Looking at the place selling tickets at the entrance, he wondered whether he should vomit.
A few decades ago, no matter what kind of mountain it was, it was easy to walk on it, and I had never heard of requiring a ticket.
I don’t know who the wise guy came up with to turn the mountain into a scenic spot, and you have to pay to see it...
Zhang Hao sighed helplessly, he was probably the most miserable wanderer.
As a mountain walker, you actually need to pay to enter the mountain when walking.
Thinking of this, he wanted to make a note in the "Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels". The future mountain walkers must have a certain financial foundation, otherwise they may not find the mountain treasure, and the tickets alone will wipe out their wealth. .
Putting these thoughts behind his mind, Zhang Hao honestly bought a ticket and followed a group of tourists into the mountain.
He was carrying a solid spirit basket, wearing straw sandals, and his clothes were similar to those of ordinary people, so he didn't attract much attention.
It was when he entered the mountain that he was inspected by security personnel, who confirmed that he did not bring any tinder before allowing him to enter the mountain.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh again.
As a mountain walker, this was the first time that he felt that he was being set the rules by others. It was always him who set the rules for others...
But without thinking much, Zhang Hao followed the crowd, climbed the steps little by little, and went up the mountain.
He just walked and watched, looking at the scenery in the forest, the repaired road up the mountain, and the crowds of people everywhere.
His biggest feeling was that it was not as good as the mountain on the back of Zhaojiacun.
In these scenic spots now, some traces of the mountains are almost gone. There are only traces left by humans that are extremely serious and cannot be repaired again.
If he were Shan Bao, he would also choose to leave.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao shook his head and laughed. He had already thought of such a scene at first, so he simply had no intention of hiking in this scenic area.
His main destination for hiking was the undeveloped mountain forest next to the Hengshan Scenic Area.
Only in that forest can there be mountain treasures.
And when he came to Hengshan Scenic Area today, he wanted to find a road leading to the forest. The most important thing was to go to Fangguang Temple in Hengshan Scenic Area to borrow something.
After looking at the road up the mountain, Zhang Hao paused and stopped to drink water.
By chance, a tourist next to me also stopped, panting and sweating profusely.
He glanced at Zhang Hao and was immediately attracted by Zhang Hao's outfit.
Although he was wearing ordinary clothes such as T-shirts and jeans, Zhang Hao was carrying a basket and wearing straw sandals, which was a bit unexpected to him.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that there was no sweat on Zhang Hao's face, nor was he panting. He was surprised and said: "Fuck, man, you are so awesome... Huh, huh, crawling for so long, you are not tired at all." ?”
Zhang Hao smiled: "I'm used to it, I often climb mountains."
The man raised his hand and gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up: "Awesome! Phew, hoo, indeed, awesome!"
"Let's go." Zhang Hao had no intention of staying any longer. He simply said hello and quickened his pace. According to the road signs, he quickly found the location of Fangguang Temple.
Standing at the bottom of the steps leading to Fangguang Temple, he looked up at the ancient Fangguang Temple, which had a rich historical color and was full of incense. This is not the only Fangguang Temple. There is also a Fangguang Temple in Tiantai County, which is far away from here. There is no connection between the two.
These two temples often say that they are the authentic Fangguang Temple.
Zhang Hao doesn't care about this. He only cares about whether Fangguang Temple is full of monks and whether it is a temple in the true sense.
Walking up the steps, he soon stood in front of the gate of Fangguang Temple.
Similar to most temple gates, the red lacquer door is open. Apart from the heads and various tourists, there is a big cauldron in the courtyard of the temple, and in the cauldron is a burning incense stick, a thicker version of the incense stick.
Then, along the road of the temple, you will find the main hall and side halls dedicated to various Bodhisattvas.
Unlike other fee-paying temples, Fangguang Temple does not have those charging items. The so-called blessings and incense are free, except for consecration, and the masters in the temple do not accept this business.
Zhang Hao kept walking forward with the flow of people, all the way to the Main Hall.
……
In the inner hall.
"Buddha said: All ascetics walking on the road should be like an ox carrying a burden, walking in deep mud, until they are extremely tired. They dare not look left or right, and want to leave the mud to rest..."
Wearing a cassock, with a white beard falling on his chest, and nine ring scars engraved on his head, the old monk is sitting on a futon, facing several donors in the audience, and is concentrating on explaining the Dharma.
Beside, the young apprentice stood with his hands clasped together, listening quietly.
But at this moment.
The old monk suddenly paused, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and he turned to look outside the hall.
Just now, he seemed to feel an inexplicable force that wanted to pull him to stand up, walk out of the hall, and go to the front hall to take a look.
The old monk was very sincere, stood up and walked outside.
The donors in the audience were all stunned, and the young apprentice even chased after him: "Master! Master, where are you going?"
The old monk looked outside the hall: "I suddenly heard that the master is coming!"
As he spoke, he walked all the way to the front hall according to the pulling force in the dark.
The old monk looked around, as if he had discovered something, and as if he was looking for someone in the crowd.
Finally, the old monk looked at Zhang Hao in the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes froze and stopped moving.
After arriving at the front hall, he looked around and saw Zhang Hao. This might be the main reason why he came to the front hall.
The old monk just stood there, looking at Zhang Hao in a daze, with tears already flowing in his eyes.
He didn't know why, but the young man in the crowd always gave him a feeling of the reincarnation of the real Buddha, as if the young man was a son of the Buddha in their Buddhist family.
Could it be... is this person really the reincarnated true Buddha?
On the side, the young monk noticed the master's change and was secretly amazed. He followed the master's gaze and happened to see Zhang Hao in the crowd, with a confused expression.
But Zhang Hao didn't notice this. He walked into the Mahavira Hall on his own, picked up the free standing incense on the side, lit it, bowed respectfully to the statue of Buddha, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
After doing all this, he did not leave, but clasped his hands and walked up to the old monk who was wearing cassocks and had a kind face. After bowing and saluting, he said respectfully: "Master, can I ask for something from the temple? ”
Only then did the old monk regain his composure. He looked at the young man in front of him, raised his hand, wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes, clasped his hands together, and returned the greeting with great respect: "I saw that the donor was kind, but I didn't know that the donor was kind. But are you destined to be a Buddhist?”
What the old monk didn't know was that this was precisely because of the relic Zhang Hao got from Huang Pizi some time ago.
Zhang Hao always carried the relics with him at that time. Over time, his body was naturally contaminated with Buddha nature. Buddhist disciples would naturally feel friendly when seeing him, just like one of their own family members.
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the old monk would ask such a question.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "That's right. I had contact with an enlightened monk not long ago."
That relic was transformed by an enlightened eminent monk. He carried the relic with him all day long. So indirectly, he had been in contact with the enlightened eminent monk. There was nothing wrong with him.
The old monk's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought, "No wonder."
No wonder he looked at Zhang Hao so kindly. Since he had contact with the enlightened monks, his body must be contaminated with Buddha nature. Can it be said to be the traces left by those enlightened monks? In other words, it is the cause and effect in the dark.
"I don't know the master's name yet." Zhang Hao asked respectfully.
The old monk stood upright with one hand and twisted the rosary beads: "Old monk's name is Jinggen, and he is the abbot of Fangguang Temple."
"It turns out to be Master Jinggen, the abbot. My name is Zhang Hao." Zhang Hao clasped his hands together and saluted.
The old monk returned the gift and asked, "I wonder what donor Zhang wants?"
"Master Jinggen, I need two handfuls of incense ash from the Main Hall for that day. The unlit standing incense in the temple also needs to be the 9th, 99th, or 999th standing incense in the temple. Just choose one."
"There is also a little dust on this Buddha statue, and a string of Buddhist beads that you put in the ashes with your own hands and took out."
Zhang Hao described everything he needed in detail.
This was the purpose of his coming to Fangguang Temple, to get these things.
These things are what he needs for the mountain walking ceremony he is going to perform next.
In order to go to Hengshan this time, he could say that he had read through all the "Illustrated Records of Mountain Walking" and summed up a lot of experiences.
Just like walking on Hengshan Mountain, Zhang Hao can be regarded as coming to a strange place, or walking in a different place. For mountain walkers, it takes time to adapt.
And this mountain walking ceremony not only requires an adaptation stage, but also needs the approval of the Hengshan Mountain God and the mountain spirit.
Every mountain has a mountain god, and under the mountain god there is a mountain spirit. Only after worshiping the mountain god and mountain spirit can you walk in the mountain and gain something.
Otherwise, at least nothing will be gained, and at worst, you may encounter danger because you have rashly walked up the mountain without the approval of the mountain gods and mountain spirits.
The easiest and simplest way to gain recognition from mountain gods and spirits is to use their familiar scents or familiar objects to perform a mountain walking ceremony.
For a mountain like Hengshan, there is a temple like Fangguang Temple on the mountain, so the most convenient way is to use the things in the temple to perform the mountain walking ceremony.
In this way, you can worship the Buddha statue, the mountain god, and the mountain spirit at the same time, gain recognition and blessing from the three parties, and the buffs will be stacked directly. As long as it is completed, it will be difficult to get nothing. Even if you have to force your way down the mountain, the mountain god will have to do it again. Stuff two pheasants.
