I don't know what the rebuilt Little White Dragon Temple on the mountain will bring to this village in the future, but from the current point of view, the large number of tourists and the rolling money are all good things for the village of Fuze.
I was still thinking about these things, so Master Liu offered another glass of wine to Luo Liang and asked him, "By the way, I heard that the people who built the Little White Dragon Temple this time are locals, and they made a big deal outside. The money came back, is it really fake?"
When Luo Liang didn't speak, Luo Mingyang couldn't help but interject: "This is of course true, the person who built the Little White Dragon Temple is called Luo Mingfa, and I also call him brother, it's not standing at the entrance of the tourist area. Is it a monument? That is a monument of merit built by the people in our village to raise money for Mingfa Ge. He not only built the tourist area, but also built the Xiaobailong Temple, which brings an unknown amount of income to our village every year. We went to the closet village because he became rich all by himself."
I was curious and asked Luo Mingfa: "Then is he in the village now, such a good person, we want to meet too?"
Luo Mingyang said, "Brother Mingfa, I spend half of every month living in the Little White Dragon Temple!"
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a little strange. According to the story told by Luo Liang, this Little White Dragon Temple is a Taoist temple, and the people who live in the Taoist temple must be a believer or even a Taoist. .
If there is really a problem with this little white dragon temple, could the corpse-raising card in Xu Jinghua's mother's corpse be issued by Luo Ming
But according to Luo Mingyang's description, Luo Mingfa is not a bad person, and he is also a good person in the village, and even a benefactor...
I fell into deep thought and did not continue to ask questions. Fatty Zhu Ye, who had never said much at the dinner table, said, "So, your elder brother Mingfa is the temple owner of the Little White Dragon Temple? Do something there? You Mingfa is such a legendary figure, we are really curious about what he does every day, like us ordinary people?"
Fatty Zhu Ye asked Luo Mingyang these questions while touting Luo Mingfa. Naturally, he would not doubt our motives for asking these questions, so he continued to tell us: "Don't think that Mingfa is a very rich man, but his Life is very low-key. He personally goes to the temple every day to sweep the temple, and every day he will give incense to the little white dragon god and pray for the blessing of our village. If an outsider enters the little white dragon temple, he will see Mingfa at first sight. Brother, you must all think that he is a worker in the temple."
When Luo Mingyang said this, I was looking forward to meeting Luo Mingfa more and more in my heart.
We asked about the same thing here, and we were full, so we proposed to go up the mountain to see the Little White Dragon Temple, and Luo Mingyang enthusiastically showed us the way, and said that he led us to the gate of the tourist area to buy tickets, a People can still get five yuan cheaper. Luo Mingyang is so enthusiastic that we can't refuse, so let him lead us there.
The ticket gate of the tourist area is built on a flat land at the foot of the mountain. There is a deep ditch between the flat land and the root of the mountain, so when you enter the door of the tourist area, there is an iron cable tree of more than ten meters. Banqiao, so that you can reach the road up and down and continue to climb up.
The flat land at the entrance of the tourist area is very large, and there are many parking spaces. Our car is also parked here, and it is free. I also saw a tourist bus coming from the provincial capital, which shows that this tourist area is also a little famous. .
Sure enough, when we were buying tickets at the door, Luo Mingyang went to say a few words, and the little girl who sold the tickets smiled and charged us fifteen yuan less, and we also turned around to express our thanks to Luo Mingyang.
After entering the tourist area, Luo Mingyang stopped following us, and we also started to climb the mountain according to the directions of the road signs.
We looked at the entire map of the scenic area at the foot of the mountain. As long as we don't turn back, no matter which branch road we climb up, we can finally reach the Little White Dragon Temple, and we also see this little white dragon. The temple is not built on the top of the mountain, but on the top of the mountain next to the main peak.
Keeping the general structure of the scenic spot in our minds, we started to climb up. It was said to be climbing a mountain. In fact, we walked up a cement road without any effort at all, and on both sides of the cement road, every other At a certain distance, there will be a small vendor selling the mountain goods here, such as sour dates, black dates, walnuts and the like.
And as someone who is very sensitive/sensitive to food, naturally, I have to buy some. I thought that when I returned to the provincial capital, I would ask You Xiaoqing to eat together. It should be very good by then, right
While I was climbing the mountain, Master Liu didn't say a word, but Chu Ye, who was panting, said to me, "Shi Yong, you're a little stupid, you don't know how to buy when you're going down the mountain, you buy it. With so many things, you still have to carry them on the mountain, don't they sink?"
Yeah, why didn't I think of that...
The design of this tourist area is very good. Although there are some artificial landscapes along the road, people who are used to living in the city will still feel close to nature when they come here. Soon we will climb to a place with a fountain on the mountainside. Of course that fountain is also man-made.
After coming here, we saw a group of tourists gesticulating around a pool of dozens of square meters, as if to say that there was something in the pool.
The three of us also went over to check the situation, and found a snake coiled on an unknown tree in the pool. The snake's head moved twice from time to time. After a while, Master Liu said to me: "Don't look, that snake is fake."
fake? I took a closer look and found that the snake only repeated one action, that is, shaking its head, and there was a wire pulled out next to the tree.
The main thing is that there is a sign in the center of the pool, and three words are written on the sign - "Little Dragon Pool".
Snakes are also known as little dragons among the people, so it is understandable that this artificial fountain pool is called Xiaolong Pool.
We continued to walk up the mountain and saw a larger fountain pool with a marble carving of a real dragon in it. The name of this pool is called "Dragon Pool".
When I saw these two places, I couldn't help but want to babble, so I said, "The names of the artificial attractions here are really tacky."
Master Liu looked at me and said, "Then can you think of a name that is not tacky?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "I can't think of it."
We walked all the way up, and soon we saw the true appearance of Xiaobailong Temple, which is no different from ordinary Taoist temples. Dragon Temple".
Next to the door is a pair of couplets in vermilion on a black background. The first couplet is: Diligent farming, don't be lazy;
These twelve-character mantras are the last of the three rules that Luo Liang told us in the legend of the little white dragon.
Since this Little White Dragon Temple was rebuilt according to legend, it is naturally understandable that it contains some legendary things.
Standing outside this temple, I can already smell the strong smell of incense inside, but I can't feel the aura of this temple at all, which shows that this is a tourist temple in an ordinary tourist area.
At the entrance of the temple, we also saw a few vendors selling incense candles and yellow paper. Master Liu didn’t say anything and went over to buy some. I asked Master Liu in a low voice, “Yifu, there is no spiritual energy in this temple, so it’s just that There is no god, why do you worship it?"
Master Liu said: "The incense is strong here, and there are many people who come here to pray for blessings every day, but let alone spiritual energy here, you can't even feel the yin of the little devil who came to steal the incense, isn't it strange? Look, either there is another mystery in this temple, or there really is a little dragon god with great supernatural powers."
Master Liu is indeed an old man. I didn't expect this. If there is no "god" in this temple, then such a strong incense will definitely attract all the lonely and wild ghosts from Shiliba Village, but this is the case here. clean.
I have to say one more thing here, that is, the temple cannot be repaired without permission. It is best to find someone who knows how to read Feng Shui and really invite a god to the temple, otherwise the temple will become a ghost temple, or even a fierce temple.
Master Liu bought the incense candles and yellow paper, and then gave some to me and Fatty Zhu Ye and said, "Okay, let's go to the temple to worship, remember that without my permission, no matter what you see or what you see, Don't talk nonsense, move around, especially you, Xiaoyong!"
Alas, he is indeed his own father.
Boasting into the gate of this temple, first there is a small yard, the yard is covered with some stones, without any vegetation, and the position directly opposite the gate is a temple, which is dedicated to the little white dragon god. .
Standing at the door of the temple, we can clearly see the deity inside. It is a white dragon hovering among the colorful clouds, but this dragon is much longer than the legendary foot.
This is actually nothing, if the statue of the little white dragon god is really made into the size of a foot, then maybe the little white dragon god will be angry.
After entering the temple, we bowed in front of the statue, and then put on the incense and candles.
We all followed Master Liu, he just bowed down and did not kneel, so Fatty Zhu Ye and I did not kneel either.
After the worship, Master Liu took us around to the back of the statue. Like many temples, the back of the statue will lead to the courtyard of Erjin, and there will be new temples in the inner courtyard, and these temples worship The statues are much higher than the statues in the main temple.
The courtyard of the second entrance is much larger than that of the first entrance, and there are four temples on the left and right sides, which are dedicated to the four dragon kings in the south, south, and northwest respectively. .
When I saw this, I asked Master Liu, "Is this temple in compliance with the rules?"
Master Liu said: "There's nothing wrong with the rules. If you enter the second year and enter the freshman year, you can repair as long as you are a senior!"
And at this moment, I saw a middle-aged man about the same age as Luo Mingyang walking towards the three of us. He was full of aura, but he was just an ordinary person, so he shouldn't know much about Taoism. .
He came to us, did he sense something from us
