Fortunately, Master Hong has a friend who works in Xianshan City. When he learned that Master Hong was coming to Xianshan, he helped everyone book a hotel in advance. Otherwise, everyone would have no place to stay when they arrived in Xianshan City.

Because it was already after 10 pm when everyone arrived. And this season is the peak tourist season in Xianshan. The hotels here are basically fully booked before 6 pm.

In a square in the center of Xianshan, everyone finally met Master Hong's friend. He took everyone to the hotel and checked in. It was really great, the hotel also had a parking lot.

While everyone was checking in, the friend also joked with the hotel attendant.

"Beauty, now you won't call me a liar. I told you that my friend would come, and he will definitely come."

"Hehehe. Brother, it's good if your friend is here. I'm not in a hurry. It's already past 10 o'clock. If I keep these two houses, if your friend doesn't come for other reasons

.As the house is empty and not used for other guests, the boss wants to take care of me. Please understand."

"Understand. Understand."

"thanks, thanks."

Two standard rooms were opened. After completing the check-in procedures and getting the room card, Master Hong and his son lived in one room, and Mu Yi and Tian Zhuangzhuang lived in one room. Everyone was ready to go into the room to rest. Master Hong’s friend warmly invited everyone to go

Have a late night snack.

Everyone said that it was not easy for him to make money when he was working outside alone. It would be great if he could book a hotel for everyone. He would not have a midnight snack.

However, this friend is really too upright. He said that we are all fellow villagers and come from such far away places, so it is not easy to meet each other. He has to work again tomorrow and cannot accompany everyone up the mountain. We say goodbye today, and

I don’t know what year or month we will meet again. If he is not allowed to show some kindness as a landlord, then he will feel really uncomfortable.

The hospitality was so great that everyone had no choice but to follow him for a late-night snack. Everyone grilled some barbecue and drank some beer as a token gesture. Master Hong recalled some interesting childhood stories with him and lamented how time flies and how many decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

It’s over...

Considering that everyone had to go up the mountain the next day and Master Hong's friends also had to go to work, everyone said goodbye and went back to rest.

When we got back to the hotel, the waiter asked everyone.

"You guys, are you here to travel to Fairy Mountain?"

"Um."

"So are you traveling as a group or as individual travelers?"

Everyone didn't know what the waiter meant when she said "group travel" and "individual travel". So they asked her and she explained to everyone.

"Following a group means signing up with a travel agency and organizing a group to have fun. Individual travelers just don't sign up to a travel agency and come and have fun on their own."

When she said this, everyone understood. It turned out that her name was "Individual Guest".

Everyone saw that she seemed to have some knowledge, so they asked her for advice on how to play the fairy mountain.

She did not introduce it to everyone right away, but instead asked how many days did everyone have. This question confused everyone. Everyone thought that coming to Fairy Mountain to play had something to do with how many days to play? So they answered her honestly. "

One day. We plan to go back after a day of fun tomorrow."

She laughed when she heard it. "Let me tell you. Our Fairy Mountain is a very big mountain. It stretches 23 kilometers from north to south and covers an area of ​​about 154 square kilometers. It is mainly composed of Da'e Mountain, Er'e Mountain, and San'e Mountain.

Si'e Mountain is composed of four peaks. Because the mountain shape is beautiful and looks like a beautiful woman's eyebrows, it is also called Mount Emei."

"Mount Emei is not only beautiful in scenery, it is also the monastery of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. It is very popular and attracts many tourists. The highest point on the mountain is Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, which is 3099 meters above sea level and more than 2700 meters higher than the urban area. There are many historical sites, temples and monkeys on the mountain.

, squirrels and other wild animals. If you look at temples one by one slowly, it will take at least 3 days. If you only have 1 day, I suggest you go to Baoguo Temple and Fuhu Temple at the foot of the mountain.

It’s a good place to have a look and have some fun. Don’t go to the Golden Summit.”

"Oh, beauty. If we want to go up to the Golden Dome to see it, will we have enough time?"

"That's right, that's right. I'm here now. I would be really sorry if I didn't go to the Golden Summit."

"If you just go up to the Golden Summit, you should still have enough time. Get up early, go to the visitor center to buy tickets and tickets for the mountain, take the bus directly to Leidongping and get off. Then walk 1.5 kilometers to Jieyin Hall and take the cable car

You can go directly to Jinding. After playing, you can go directly to Leidongping and take a bus down the mountain."

"We have our own car. Can we drive up the mountain ourselves?"

"Yes, you can, but you can only drive up to Leidongping. However, I suggest you not drive up there by yourself. Because the road up there is narrow and has many turns. You are not familiar with the road."

Master Hong laughed when he heard this. He said: "The tour bus must be a minibus or something like that, right?"

"The bus."

"Then it's over. The bus has no problem driving, and our off-road vehicle has no problem. No matter how complicated the road conditions are, it's not as complicated as our Xigui road."

Everyone thanked the waiter and went into the room to wash up and rest. Master Hong said: You go and rest first, I will fill up the gas and come back. We will go directly up the mountain early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, everyone got up and checked out the room. Because the money everyone brought with them was not enough to send "condolence money", so money was a little tight. So we planned to go to the Golden Summit to have some fun, and then came down to have a meal.

Hurry back to Xigui, otherwise you will have to stay in a hotel for one more night and the money will not be enough.

We bought tickets to the mountain from the visitor center and drove behind the scenic bus. What we didn't expect was that it was more than 70 kilometers from the city to Leidongping. Moreover, the scenic road was indeed narrow and steep.

Urgent, the speed limit is 40 kilometers per hour. Master Hong strictly abides by the traffic speed limit and drove for almost two hours before arriving at Leidongping.

After parking the car and paying the parking fee, some people came to ask if we wanted to eat or stay in a hotel.

When everyone looked at the time, it was only 9:30, and they all said they were not hungry. They planned to have breakfast and lunch together. In fact, it was mainly to save money, because everyone asked about their prices and found that they were too expensive. The store must not be open.

These people asked everyone if they wanted to rent coats.

There seemed to be some rain and fog in the air, which made everyone feel a little cold. Because they were all wearing short-sleeved shirts. But considering that it was summer, it wouldn't get much colder no matter how cold it was. So I didn't rent a coat.

Everyone originally wanted to ask about the way from Leidongping to Jieyin Hall. But when they saw that everyone didn’t have food, accommodation, or rented coats, they acted indifferently. Everyone didn’t want to ask.

Already.

After everyone observed it carefully, they saw many tourists-looking people walking up a stone staircase beside the road, so they followed them. When asked, they found out that everyone was going to the Yingyin Hall.

The scenery on this slope is very charming, with towering ancient trees everywhere, the air is exceptionally fresh and pleasant, and the light clouds and mist linger in it, giving people a sense of spiritual energy.

There were so many tourists on the road that it can be described as being crowded together. Everyone was very excited and in a particularly good mood, completely intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. However, what no one expected was that the 1.5-kilometer slope would actually go again.

It took more than half an hour to arrive at the reception hall.

Looking at the time, it was already past 10 o'clock. In order to save money, everyone only bought four tickets for the ropeway going up to the Golden Summit. After preparing to go up to the Golden Summit and have fun, we walked down.

It took more than half an hour from queuing up at the Jieyin Hall to buy cable car tickets to queuing up to board the cable car. In the end, it took less than 5 minutes to get on the cable car and reach the point where the cable car disembarks from the Golden Summit.

Although the cable car was crowded with people, it still felt very good because everyone was squeezed in by the window. Through the huge glass windows, everyone saw the cable car climbing rapidly, getting higher and higher from the ground.

, and some fear.

When the cable car climbed about one-third of the way, in just a few seconds, the cable car took everyone through the clouds and arrived above the sea of ​​clouds like mist.

This wonderful feeling is something we have never experienced before. Just a few seconds ago, we were still in the clouds and mist. After a few seconds, the clouds and mist ran to our feet. This feeling is like an instant.

From the human world to the sky, it was completely like entering another world. The sea of ​​clouds was at your feet, the sun was above the sea of ​​clouds, and the pure blue sky was so beautiful. Everyone was extremely excited and couldn't help but cheer together.

Soon we arrived at the Golden Summit Station. After we got out of the cable car, we officially began to appreciate the infinite scenery of the Golden Summit.

As soon as we arrived at the Golden Summit, we felt suddenly enlightened. There were clouds and mist in the mountains, and there were all kinds of weather. The sun was shining brightly on the top of the mountain, and the sea of ​​clouds was in the sky. There was an observation deck about sixty or seventy meters away from the cable car stop. Everyone saw people looking there.

Then he followed him.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there is a cluster of pointed, snow-white, shy little girl-like peaks standing there. No matter how the sea of ​​clouds surges beneath their feet, she still stands there without moving at all. I heard from tourists nearby that this is Gongga

Snow Mountain, 7556 meters above sea level. Everyone says they are very lucky because it is hundreds of kilometers away from Gongga Snow Mountain and can still be seen.

After getting off the observation deck, we continued walking up and came to the pilgrimage avenue leading to the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions. At the starting point of the avenue, there were a huge lampstand and an incense burner, butter lamps, candles, and scented mist.

The Qibla Avenue is 18 meters wide and 108 meters long. In the middle is an upward stone staircase. On both sides are 6 pairs of beautifully shaped elephants guarding each other. The left side carries the "Ruyi" on the elephant's back, and the right side carries "*"

*", the scene is very grand and spectacular.

In the center of the top of the avenue of worship is a huge statue of Bodhisattva. Someone from the tourists nearby shouted: Look, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions! Everyone then realized that this Bodhisattva statue was an image of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions. They quickly speeded up and took a sip.

He walked up angrily.

Standing under the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions, everyone was in awe! It was so shocking! Everyone suddenly felt that they were too small. The statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions is at least as high as ten or twenty stories. If you look up with a hat on

If you do, your hat will fall off.

While everyone was amazed and curious about it, a tour guide wearing a microphone was explaining to the tourists who were "in a group". Everyone came together to listen to it for free.

Dear tourists, the huge Bodhisattva statue in front of us is the Samantabhadra statue of the Ten Directions. It was completed on June 18, 2006. It is 48 meters high, weighs more than 600 tons, and has a construction area of ​​1,000 square meters. It is currently the largest in the world.

, the tallest statue of Samantabhadra of the Ten Directions.

We should not underestimate these numbers. These numbers all have certain meanings. The meaning and shape structure of the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the Ten Directions: 48 meters high, representing the forty-eight great vows of Amitabha. "Samantabhadra" means the equality of "universal"

No problem, "Xian" can be found everywhere.

The shape structure of the statue is divided into 8 parts from bottom to top: the base part is square and six-layered, which represents the "four shots" of Buddhism, namely charity, loving words, beneficial actions, and colleagues; the "six degrees" are charity, precepts, and patience.

Diligence, meditation, wisdom (prajna).

The ring part represents "one true dharma realm". The lotus part represents "the heart of all living beings, and the heart gives rise to all things". The auspicious cloud part represents "emptiness".

The four auspicious images represent the "Four Great Vows": I vow to save all sentient beings; I vow to put an end to endless troubles; I vow to learn countless Dharma doors; and I vow to achieve the supreme Buddha's path. It also means "to save all sentient beings, and to have endless great deeds."

The two-faced body represents "one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas in the Hua Zang world". The ten Bodhisattva heads represent the "Ten Great Aspirations of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva". The perfect pillar on the top of the Bodhisattva represents "the Hua Zang world is endless and full of light" and "

The Dharma door fills the void and pervades the Dharma realm.”

The Amitabha Buddha enshrined in the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions symbolizes the common destination of bliss.

"Tour guide, what does 'Shifang' mean?"
