Chapter Seventeen

Liu Youcai and Yang Shuli just kissed each other and left the others far behind. Suddenly they shouted to several of them with great interest, "Guys, in front of you are the ancient hunting ground and Anwang Temple. There are quite a lot of people there."

, it’s so lively, stop nagging and come over quickly. [ ]”

Wu Xiaojun responded, "I understand, please wait a moment, we will be there soon."

Zhao Xiaozhou urged, "Go quickly, go quickly, we are already far behind, I'm afraid everyone else has already arrived."

A few people followed the winding path, passed through the dense bamboo forest, which was not soothed by the sun, and was slightly cold and quiet, and climbed up a dirt mountain. The top of the mountain was a spacious place with stones of different shapes scattered randomly.

Numerous large and small stone tablets are erected on the stones, still retaining the ancient style. In the center of the site is a pavilion supported by five ancient cypress trees. Under the pavilion stands a four-meter-high stone tablet with the words "ancient times" on it.

The three characters "Huntai" are written in a smooth and unrestrained font, which shows the skill. Although it shows its age, vicissitudes and devastation, it is still clearly visible. It can also be distinguished that it was inscribed by Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu, in May of the sixth year of Xining.

Standing in front of the pavilion, there is an empty, yellowing and withered lawn in front of it, surrounded by woods of various sizes, high and low, undulating and scattered. Concentrating on meditation, a group of beasts are running away, majestic, full of armor, big BMW, curved

The scene of King An galloping and hunting with a bow and halberd appeared in front of his eyes, giving people endless reverie.

"Youcai, Wang Xin, I don't know if Hu Lei, Liu Xiaoxia and others are here. Let's stand on the stage and look around." Zhao Xiaozhou said.

"Okay, everyone, look forward carefully to see if you can see them." Wu Xiaojun looked forward and looked around, "I saw it, they are there, look, Liu Yunhui is waving to us. Come down quickly."

There was an endless stream of tourists coming and going on the lawn. Liu Xiaoxia and Hu Lei, six people who had just arrived at the ancient hunting ground, stopped to rest by a forest in the southwest corner. They all smiled happily and looked towards the ancient hunting platform. "I saw it, they are coming from the platform."

Come down, Zhao Xiaozhou, Wu Xiaojun, we are here." Yan Gaofeng covered the corners of his mouth with his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Wang Xin, Shao Ying, we are here." Liu Yunhui shouted, jumping up and waving vigorously.

The two groups of people gathered together and chatted about the strange and interesting things they had encountered, seen, and heard along the way, as well as the features and characteristics of each scenic spot. The atmosphere was naturally more lively and lively.

"Everyone, everyone, we have worked hard, we are tired from walking, and we are thirsty. I have just prepared milk and bread for everyone from the catering service point to express my condolences to you." Liu Youcai was panting while holding a bulging plastic bag in his hand.

He ran out from behind the woods and distributed the words to everyone in a glib tone.

"You're talented, I'm sorry, today I not only ask you to accompany everyone to revisit the old place without seeing the sights, wasting a good night in comfort, but also giving everything to give warmth, losing money and gold, but the heart is still cold." Wu Xiaojun was eating and drinking.

said.

"Wu Xiaojun said it well, like a couplet, with charm. This can be regarded as Liu Youcai's reward for everyone. In the future, we must support him more and create a good environment to help him reach a higher level." Liu Xiaoxia continued.

"Liu Youcai, may I ask, when a happy event happens, people feel refreshed, are in a good mood when the spring breeze is triumphant, and walk through the mountains and forests, where can I find a beautiful mother?" Wang Xin laughed and teased Liu Youcai.

"If you are talented, speak up, speak up." Everyone laughed and clapped their hands together to urge him.

"Mirrors and opportunities come from the sky. The autumn rain stops and my mind shines. I get up early and explore the wonders at night. Is there a divine scoop in the heaven? It makes everyone laugh. It's here." Liu Youcai pondered for a moment, replied in a mellow tone, and pointed at the king with his hand.

Xin.

"No, no, wrong, wrong, this is the one." Yan Gaofeng pointed at Yang Shuli and said, making everyone laugh.

After a short rest, everyone began to climb to Anwang Temple. The temple was built on a mountainside southwest of the ancient hunting platform. Looking from the bottom up, it seemed to be embedded in a mountain nest, looming under the cover of layers of pines and cypresses.

, quite a bit like an ancient temple buried deep in the mountains. Everyone was shouting and chattering along the way, passing by the "Anwang Ancient Temple" archway supported by marble pillars carved with Nine Dragons Playing Pearls, and walking on a mountain road of more than 200 meters paved with cobblestones.

When you arrive at the entrance of the steps, there are ten tall and dense ancient pines on both sides. They are like honor guards lined up, stretching out their waists and erecting branches, standing tall and straight, motionless.

There are ninety-nine winding stone steps going up all the way. They are built according to the mountain. There are some halls, pavilions and caves along the way to worship Buddha statues. People stop to watch and take pictures from time to time. At the bronze statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes

In front of him, Wu Xiaojun stopped and took a closer look. Each layer was clear, and the general description of Guanyin with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes was vivid, compassionate yet serious, more delicate and exquisite than he imagined. Leaving the bronze statue of Guanyin,

After going up less than ten steps, suddenly, someone on the top said "Oh!". When he looked up, he was shocked. Shao Yingying, who was walking in front, tripped hard on the steps under his feet. He couldn't stand upright and lay down on his back.

Liu Yunhui in front failed to catch him and was horrified, "Wu Xiaojun, catch him quickly, Shao Yingying fell down."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Xiaojun stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and with all his strength, he caught Shao Yingying's shoulders, pushed forward gently, and stabilized Shao Yingying. Shao Yingying was in shock, his legs paralyzed, and he sat on the edge of the steps.

, holding his right foot tightly with both hands, rubbing it gently constantly, his face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and he was in indescribable pain.

"It's so dangerous. What's the matter? Is your foot sprained? Does it hurt too much? Do you need us to help you down immediately? Why don't you rest for a while and see how it goes." Wu Xiaojun looked down at Shao Yingying who was rubbing his feet with both hands.

said eagerly.

"I'm scared to death. My heart is still beating faster and faster now. Thanks to Wu Xiaojun who caught you below, otherwise I would have really thrown you badly. How about it, it doesn't hurt as much." Liu Yunhui was shocked.

After a while, he came to Shao Yingying, squatted down, held Shao Yingying's back with one hand, touched Shao Yingying's feet with the other and said.

"Much better. It's not a big deal. Don't worry. It's just that when I went up the stone steps, I put a little force on my foot. I suddenly hit the stone steps and got stuck. My right toe hurts a little. It doesn't look like it's sprained. It's not.

It's bleeding, you two go up, maybe I'll be fine if I stop for a while." Shao Yingying said with a face full of pain.

"As long as there is no sprained foot or bleeding, it will be fine as long as there is no sprained foot or bleeding. I hope it is a near miss." Wu Xiaojun said repeatedly.

"Wu Xiaojun, you go up. I happen to be tired too and don't want to go up. I'll stay with Xiaoying." Liu Yunhui looked at Wu Xiaojun and said.

"Okay, you stay here with us. If your feet are better and you can walk, you can go down the mountain slowly and wait for us at the bottom. Then I won't accompany you and go up. You must wait until the pain stops before leaving.

"Maybe it's because he hasn't completely forgotten about his former crush on his classmate, or maybe it's just because he loves the house and the girl. Wu Xiaojun always has an inexplicable feeling for Shao Yingying. He wanted to stay with her for a while and communicate more, but because she is a girl.

My foot was injured and there were many inconveniences due to gender restrictions, so I had no choice but to agree to Liu Yunhui and leave.

Looking from the bottom up, some people are still slowly climbing up. Zhao Xiaozhou, Liu Youcai, and Wang Xin have already climbed the stone steps and are standing at the temple gate, waving downwards, "Hey, we have climbed up. You guys are here."

We are already lagging behind, so we have to work harder.”

It was the first time for Wu Xiaojun to climb so many steps, and he really experienced the feeling of mountain climbing. The higher he went up, the heavier his whole body felt, his breathing became rapid, his heartbeat accelerated, and his feet felt like lead. Along the way, Wu Xiaojun discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The people going up all kept their heads down and walked up step by step, while most of the people returning raised their heads and walked lightly and calmly. I couldn't help but think of the saying "It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain." The path of life is all about going up the mountain and going down.

There are repeated reincarnations between going down the mountain. When going up the mountain, you need to lower your head to see clearly the rights and wrongs and the ups and downs in front of you. Go forward bravely, fight hard, overcome obstacles, and overcome obstacles to move toward your dream; when going down the mountain, carefully reflect on the waves and obstacles in your life.

The thrill of being swallowed by a reef makes you realize the hardships of realizing your dreams. You need to raise your head and always look back at the road you have traveled. Don’t forget the lessons learned from the past, repeat the same mistakes, and destroy the hard-won fruits. That is, you must not be happy with things.

Don't feel sorry for yourself, purify everything with a far-sighted mind, and spur yourself on with the spirit of embracing all rivers.

Wu Xiaojun was moved by the scene. Between physical pain and spiritual emotion, he finally reached the top of the mountain. Standing in front of the temple gate and looking eastward, he had a broad field of vision, beautiful Pingxi scenery, vast wilderness, mountains and rivers, and sparkling and quiet rivers.

, the earthy smell of the earth is intoxicating, it is simply an endless canvas. This may be the result that climbers pursue regardless of physical and mental exhaustion, forget about themselves, and never give up until they reach their goals.

Anwang Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. It was built to commemorate the king of ancient An, Zhao Wei, who led hundreds of thousands of elite knights to defeat the Jingwei tribe king who burned, killed, looted, and devastated all living beings. He opened up territory, planted mulberry fields, and benefited future generations. It is incense all year round.

It is a Buddhist holy place where faithful men and women seek children and wealth. The temple is surrounded by the Western Mountains on three sides, facing east, reflected in the green trees, with apricot-yellow courtyard walls, blue-gray temple ridges, pale green towering ancient trees, and winding and deep paths.

, showing "the ancient trees of the Song and Tang Dynasties, the Han and Qin Dynasties, have been watched by wind and rain for thousands of years. The winding river flows down to the sea, and the houses sit in the mulberry fields. The dignified and steady gray walls are noisy and new. The only way to pray is to offer incense and pray. The generals of the Six Dynasties and the Five Dynasties

The long history of "Wu Qian" and the vicissitudes of life make people feel the solemn atmosphere of the Buddhist pure land.

The Anwang Hall is located at the end of the three main halls. It is carved on the stone wall. It can accommodate more than a hundred people. In the center is the statue of Anwang, which is very tall. It sits upright with a calm demeanor, sharp eyes, and full of majesty. The walls on both sides

It is covered with large and small Buddha statues, all different in height, fat and thin, with various expressions and movements. Some are gnashing their teeth and glaring angrily; some are smiling with their lips slightly open; some are sitting cross-legged with their hands clasped together; some are independent golden roosters with their hands

Dancing steel whips; some with half-closed eyes and holding scriptures, making people feel the silence, solemnity and solemnity of the Buddhist pure land.

Following many tourists and believers, Wu Xiaojun also offered incense and put on the stove. He closed his eyes tightly and clasped his hands together, forgetting all worries and worldly affairs. With his mind as calm as a mirror, he worshiped Buddha silently and devoutly, praying that he would be able to find peace when he encountered the ups and downs in life and was unable to do anything.

Masters are enlightened, noble people appear and help, misfortunes are turned into good fortune, adversities are auspicious, everything goes smoothly, and the road of life becomes wider and wider; when hindered by the confusion of "there is no way out after the mountains and rivers", "the willows are dark and the flowers are bright and the flowers are bright again".

The opportunity of "one village"; after going through hardships and being frustrated and sinking, you can "find good rain after a long drought, and meet old friends in a foreign land."

"Xiaojun, Liu Youcai said there is something urgent. Come and gather at the temple gate." Zhao Xiaozhou gently pulled Wu Xiaojun and whispered.
