I seek longevity in Datang

Chapter 93

At night, they stayed at the foot of Sanwei Mountain. After dinner, several people caught each other and fought each other, honing their martial arts skills and fighting together.

Suddenly a high-pitched scream was heard:

"Oh, my god. Shu, Shu, Shu..."

Fang Shu signaled Li Moran to stop, turned around and looked over, and saw a tall foreign woman rushing to Fang Shu, hugged Fang Shu, and turned around several times, her joy could not be expressed in words.

Hey, fate, it turned out to be Sophie, the daughter of the Duke of England who loves to travel.Sophie is already a middle-aged aunt, chubby.

Fang Shu usually hates physical contact with people, even when practicing martial arts, she only competes with her master, Li family uncles and nephews, and 36 maids.

But she didn't hate Sophie's hug at all, she was a very sincere woman.Fang Shu pulled Sophie aside and started talking with her intimately.

The fate between people is really wonderful. It is really a lot of fate that we can meet Sophie twice across the ocean and across the world.

Sophie asked Fang Shu, why is she not aging, but still a little girl?

Fang Shu replied that the eating habits of oriental people make the skin oxidize more slowly, so that it does not look old. This is common sense.Fang Shu didn't hide it from Sophie, saying that she had practiced a magical technique, and her age would grow backwards.

After saying that, a ray of flames sprang from the tip of his hand, and he flung it to the ground, blowing a big hole.Sophie's eyes widened again, and Omegaud kept on.

Fang Shu pointed to the sky, and said to Sophie, your God is beyond the sky, and urged Sophie to go to Rome and the Vatican to find angels and practice magic.

Sophie expressed her liking for Fang Shu's magic.Fang Shu explained that with different beliefs and different cultivation systems, Sophie is suitable for Western magic.

After a flicker, Sophie was successfully fooled.

Fang Shu is really interested in Western magic. Are "Harry Potter" and "Douluo Dalu" just for nothing?Fang Shu dispelled Sophie's doubts, and according to her personality, she might go there.

After more than ten years, I can meet Sophie again, who knows what will happen in the future?Fate is something wonderful.

After saying goodbye to Sophie, Fang Shu was still overjoyed.Hey, I'm really catching someone and fooling me, haha.

Travel Notes on Sanwei Mountain:
This mountain is located more than [-] miles southeast of Dunhuang City. The main peak is far away from Mogao Grottoes. The three peaks stand in danger, so it is named Sanwei.

Sanwei Mountain is the first sacred place in Dunhuang. Mogao Grottoes were built because of the Buddha light of Sanwei Mountain. Climb the famous Buddhist mountain to get a glimpse of the root of Mogao Grottoes.

"Weifeng Dongzhi" is particularly majestic and thrilling because of its "three peaks standing upright, as if they are about to fall". "The first mountain in Dunhuang, who moves Taiyue to Yangguan".

The shape of Sanwei Mountain is like a purple dragon, the shape of Mingsha Mountain is like a golden phoenix, and the shape of two mountains is like dragons and phoenixes.

Laojuntang:
It was built to worship the Taishang Laojun, and it is said that this is the place where the Taishang Laojun and the Buddha of the Western Paradise met.The terrain here is steep and the environment is elegant, which is a good place for practicing Taoism and kung fu.Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, temples and temples have been built here, and the incense is endless.

On the top of the mountain to the east of Laojuntang, stands an ancient blue brick house, which is the Hunyuan Ancient Cave. It is said that it is the place where the Taoist ancestors practiced meditation and worshiped the heaven and earth. It is particularly fascinating.

Nantianmen

A wooden archway on the front mountain ridge is the "Nantian Gate", which is said to be the place where the Queen Mother descended to earth and ascended to heaven.Nantianmen archway, the former book "Nantianmen", and the second book "Tao leads to Nantian", which means that it can lead to Nantian.

Evaluation: Three dangers, very interesting.Mogao Grottoes are on the opposite side, we will go again tomorrow.

Mogao Grottoes travel notes:
The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were excavated from the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms to the end of the Tang Dynasty. The paintings and sculptures of Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures in the caves are places for Buddhists to practice, observe and worship.It is a three-dimensional art combining architecture, sculpture and murals.

Dunhuang Flying Apsaras is a fusion of Buddhist Heavenly Man and Taoist Featherman, Western Region Flying Apsaras and Central Plains Flying Apsaras after long-term exchanges. It has no wings, no feathers, no round light, and relies on clouds instead of clouds. ribbons and soar through the sky.

Flying around the Buddha's head, or flying in the sky of the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, some step on colorful clouds and land slowly; Floating across the sky.

The fluttering dresses and dancing belts are just like Li Bai's poem praising fairies: "Hibiscus is held in plain hands, and the steps are too clear. The neon clothes and belts are floating and ascending to the sky."

The caves are divided into north and south areas: the caves in the south area are the places for worshiping Buddha in Mogao Grottoes, and the caves in the north area are mainly the residences of monks and craftsmen. There are kang pits, flues, niches, lampstands, etc. for cultivation and living facilities. .

Dunhuang Grottoes is the general name of Mogao Grottoes and West Thousand Buddha Caves, including Yulin Grottoes in Anxi.

Le Zun, a monk from the former Qin Dynasty, began to excavate the first cave in Dunhuang. After more than a thousand years, more than 700 caves were successively excavated, forming the largest and richest Buddhist art treasure site.

To a certain extent, Buddhist thought made up for the shortcomings of the Chinese schools of thought, and finally formed the fusion of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

Many idioms also originate from Buddhism: unbelievable, great world, everyone is happy, dream bubble, five-body projection, fantasy, idiot's dream, wishful thinking, enlightenment, blind man touches elephant, burning eyebrows, fantasy, straight-forward, logical, heart-to-heart, throwing a brick to attract jade...

Evaluation: Extremely shocking, I saw the construction and excavation of the grotto with my own eyes.

The murals are so beautiful, Li Moran copied many of them for Fang Shu's collection.It's a pity that I only saw a few modern flying apsaras, which is also Fang Shu's favorite version.

Dunhuang, also known as Guazhou, Xishazhou, Shazhou, etc., the history of name changes is also the history of being ruled by the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Guiyi Army in turn.

Fang Shu didn't care who was in charge of Dunhuang now, so she switched to Guan Wen as soon as possible, passed through the city, and went to the next target, Yumen Pass and Yang Pass.

The pass on the southern line of the Silk Road is Yangguan, and the pass on the northern line of the Silk Road is Yinguan, no, it is Yumenguan.

"Going out of Yangguan from the west without an old friend" sang so much sadness of parting, and the Xiongguan of the Han and Tang Dynasties still exists at this time.

"Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows? The spring breeze does not pass Yumen Pass." Inside Yumen Pass, there are thousands of miles of oases, winding rivers, and flocks of cattle and sheep. Looking outside Yumen Pass, you can see thousands of miles of wild sand and vast Gobi.On the Silk Road Xiongguan, the camel bells are lingering, people shout and neigh, caravans come and go, and envoys come and go, which is a prosperous scene.

Jade Gate Pass Travel Notes:
The "Sakyamuni Local Chronicles" of the Tang Dynasty all said that "Suzhou travels seventy miles west to Yumen Pass, which is closed between the north and south mountains."The Shixia Gorge is naturally dangerous, and the gorge is [-] miles long, which is the ancient "Yumen Pass".In the Ming Dynasty, the name of the mountain was changed to JYG, so JYG is a substitute for the ancient Yumen Pass, which is the predecessor of the first pass in the world.

Evaluation: Natural danger and natural success.

Jiayu Mountain Travel Notes:
Dai Bian's poem in the Ming Dynasty said:

Yanlong Jiayu Biyu, the shadow of Kunlun thousands of miles away,
The heating is always floating, the spring is not old, the cold light is about to disperse and the snow has just disappeared.

The rain gathers in Yuanxiu and the clouds are wet, and the demeanor is sparse and the forest is foggy.

The most is to come late to look at the place, and the sunset will lock the mountainside outside the sky.

To the south of Suzhou is the main peak of Qilian, known as the Little Kunlun Mountain in history.

"Jiuquan Taishou Ma Ji said: Jiuquan Nanshan is the body of Kunlun. King Mu of Zhou saw the Queen Mother of the West and forgot to return with joy, so he called this mountain."

"Shan Hai Jing": "Kunlun Mountain, connected to the heaven, is the capital under the emperor of heaven".

Evaluation: Jiayu Mountain, the mountain is high and steep, and there is still steaming white air in the valley in the distance.

Yadan Devil City Travel Notes:
About [-] miles west of Yumen Pass, there is a typical Yardang landform community. When the wind blows, there are ghostly voices, and they can't turn around at night. It is commonly known as the Devil City.

Its whole looks like an ancient medieval city. This special "castle" has walls, streets, buildings, squares, churches, and sculptures.

These masterpieces of nature can be called uncanny workmanship and wonderful.

Evaluation: Nature has built a western castle, do you think it is magical?
　Fang Shu begged for a ticket as a routine!
