Although Ah San saw records about Fengdu from ancient books, she did not know the exact location of the entrance. Therefore, we can only walk up the stone ladder, hoping to find relevant clues.
The ghost city of Fengdu, as Ah San said, was imitated by later generations based on the Taoist Buddha. There are not only the Naihe Bridge, Guimenguan, but also the Yinsi and various hell scenes. Everywhere is meticulously crafted, it looks very realistic, if there are not too many people going around, you will really think that you are in the underworld.
We wandered around, and we almost vomited after smelling sandalwood, and we didn't find any useful clues. It looks very ordinary here, just an ordinary tourist attraction. I have no interest in praying for the blessings of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and I don't need to be forgiving by Yama, because I am Ji Sun, I will not die, nor will I go to the underworld.
It was Ah San who found nothing after looking around, so he took me to burn the incense in front of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and knocked his head three times. I vaguely heard that when she knocked her head, she silently said the names of her parents and Rodin.
She is a filial child, but it is a pity that she has no chance to be filial to others.
After Ah San had knocked his head, I looked at the endless crowds around me and asked her in a low voice, "What if I can't find it?"
Asan said: "If we can't find it, it's right. If we could find it here, so many people would have discovered it long ago."
I asked with some confusion: "Then why are you here?"
"Burning incense." Asan said of course: "If you don't burn incense, what else can you do? Could you ask a monk for tea?"
Monk Jueming shook his head and said, "Don't drink tea, just drink white water."
I laughed loudly, but Ah San was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed and said: "Drink you a big-headed ghost, there are so many monks in the world, and I'm not talking about you."
Monk Jueming chanted the Buddha's name very innocently and stopped speaking. We talked nonsense for a while, seeing that we couldn't find anything, so we had to go down the mountain.
As he walked, Asan said, "The records in the ancient books should be correct. Since others can find the entrance to Fengdu, so should we."
I said: "A lot of people think like you, think that others can win 5 million, so can I. As a result, the pickles bought by lottery tickets can't be eaten, and I haven't even won 10 yuan.
Asan glanced at me and said, "You are looking for a kick, right?"
I laughed and said: "Just to remind you that it's getting late, let's find an inn to make a tip, drink a big bowl and eat meat, and then look for the entrance."
"Bah, you will be stubborn." Asan said.
Pooh, yes, but it was really late at the time, even if San was willing to look for it all night, people who handled the sights were not happy. Even if you are a monk, you have to sleep.
Fortunately, there are many hotels nearby. We found one at random. When people learned that the three of us were living in a special single room, they were all disdainful. There are two words written on the face in the eyes: poor ghost.
Asan doesn't care what others think. She has been wandering for so long and has not had a serious income, so she naturally saves and spends. When I bought her clothes, there were still dozens of dollars left and didn't move. I was surprised. During the chat, I learned that this girl only bought a new set of clothes in a year.
She said: "If Mom and Dad are away, they have to buy new clothes, so that you will have good luck in the coming year."
I don't know whether to coax her at this time, or follow her words to say something. After thinking for a long time, I decided to change the subject and let her buy some food. Although I can live a healthy life without eating, I still miss it after a long time.
Ah San was very unhappy and said, "You didn't help me with anything, and I still paid for the room..."
I didn’t have a dime on my body, so I was very embarrassed, so I said, “I can’t afford much. For a few of us, at most fifty yuan is enough.”
Ah San glared, and said, "Fifty? Why don't you grab it! Wait until you find the entrance, then tell me the money."
I suddenly became angry and said, "I came all the way to accompany you. You won't even give me fifty dollars! You want me to grab it! Am I like a robber!"
Ah San looked at me seriously for a while and said, "Like!"
I was completely defeated by her. In the end, for 25 yuan, I ran out and bought three buckets of instant noodles, and bought a few sticks of ham and braised eggs. Growing up, I realized for the first time what a real stingy is.
Asan didn’t care about my opinion, she happily snatched the ham sausage from my hand, soaked two sticks in her instant noodles, then thought about it, and asked Monk Jue Ming: “The ham sausage is all made of meat. Do you eat?"
I spit out a mouthful of old blood. There are still ham sausages made of meat these days? Who do you miss!
Monk Jueming shook his head and said, "The monks don't eat meat, you can eat it."
Asan smiled and said, "I know you are a good monk who obeys the precepts."
Then, she put the third ham sausage into her instant noodles. I stared at it for a long time and asked her: "Where is mine?"
Asan broke his fingers and said to me, "Look, I want to eat one by myself. Are you okay?"
I nodded and said, "Of course it's okay."
Asan again said, "Little is so pitiful. When he is still growing, he has to eat one, right?"
I looked at the baby corpse squatting next to the instant noodles, like a puppy, just sticking out their tongues. I was embarrassed to snatch this little guy, so I nodded and said, "Okay, what about the last one?"
"The last one." Ah San thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "A Da is a bold person. It says you should compete with it, whoever wins will eat."
I almost lifted the table, is there any mistake? The bronze armor corpse is obviously under your control, okay! it says? Say your grandma has a chicken thigh!
However, my inner protest had no effect. The majestic body of the bronze armored corpse stepped in front of me, and Ah San poked out half of his head and made a face at me. My pissed lungs exploded, but there was nothing to do. Ah Da is so powerful, I am not its opponent, and desperately for a ham sausage and copper armor corpse, this is something that can only be done when the brain is caught by the door.
Ah San is not too much. Anyway, he left me a braised egg. As for the remaining two... The eggs are also meat. The share of the monk Jue Ming is naturally cheaper.
I thought in my heart, this is a child who is still growing up, still a girl, forget it, let her eat it.
After a long time of self-comfort, the anger disappeared. After eating this awkward "dinner", I just lay down to go to sleep. San kicked me down and said, "Where do I lie down, such a small bed, so many people lie down?"
I got up and took a look at it. The 1.5-meter bed was covered with only Ah San and the corpse, accounting for half of it at most. Let alone lie down with me, even if all five of us lie down, uh, it seems that we can't lie down so many people.
However, Asan is a girl after all, and I am too embarrassed to lie down with her. After reacting, he sat down in a chair in a daze.
Asan said, "Don't sleep too hard, we can still go out at night."
I asked: "At night? What do you do to go out at night?"
Asan said, "Of course I was looking for the entrance of Fengdu."
I was taken aback, and said, "I haven't found it for so long in the daytime, and it's dark at night. How can I find it?"
"What do you know." Asan picked up the toilet paper, wiped his mouth, and burped, the room was suddenly filled with the smell of instant noodles and ham. She also felt that the smell was too great, so she waved her hand and said, "It is said that the entrance to the capital city is the ghost gate. Only when the yin qi of the child is the heaviest will it open naturally. At other times, it must be guided by the way. Come in."
"Lu Yin?" I thought for a while and asked, "When I was on the mountain during the day, I saw someone selling this thing, as if we didn't buy it? And, can that thing really lead people into the door?"
"What kind of guides are all fake." Asan said disdainfully: "The real guides were given by Emperor Fengdu, and only good people can get them. Ordinary people can see a kid who catches you. Not bad."
I subconsciously glanced into her arms and asked: "So, does this guide you?"
Ah San glared at me and said, "Where do I look."
I was a little embarrassed, thinking that you hide things in your arms every day. Where can I look? But this is not easy to explain, in case the description gets darker, it will be worse. I didn't say a word, and then listened to Asan say: "If I have a guide, I will find some entrance, and someone will pick it up directly to that station."
"It's a ghost to pick it up." I corrected her mistake.
"Anyway, that's probably what it means. If you pick the words again, I'll pick your eyeballs out." Ah San threatened me viciously, and then said: "We don't have a guide, we can only go to the ghost gate, otherwise, , Can't enter Fengdu."
"Are you sure you can find the ghost gate?" I asked.
"Uncertain." Asan said: "But this is Fengdu. Although the man-made buildings cover up a lot of things, I can still feel a huge gloom gathering and not dispersing underground. It just happens that today is the first day of October. On the ancestor worship day, if Fengdu really exists, the ghost gate will definitely open."
I don't know exactly what festival is the first day of October to worship the ancestors, but since A San is so sure, I should be a little sure about it.
So we sat in the room for a while and chatted for a while. Asan's life experience is very rich. If she were to tell her all her story, it would be enough to write a novel with millions of words. I listened with great gusto, and Asan rarely shared his experiences with others, so he was naturally enthusiastic and talked.
Monk Jueming became more and more silent. When we were chatting, he never interrupted. However, the search for Feng Du has nothing to do with him. Therefore, before going out, Ah San asked him: "Are you going?"
Monk Jueming only asked one question: "Is there really a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the prefecture?"
Asan considered it for a while and said, "I really can't answer you this question, because I haven't been to the underworld either."
Monk Jueming hesitated a little, then nodded and said, "Then go." (End of this chapter)
