Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 160 A chance encounter at Wuliang Temple (please subscribe!)

After eating, Li Yi did not return to the state-run guest house. Instead, he took his father for a stroll along the road toward the old city gate.

Since it was already very late after seeing the doctor today and they had missed the last train back to Ning City, they had to stay one night in the provincial capital tonight.

Since he couldn't go back anyway, Li Yi simply took his father to visit the provincial capital, which was a great trip.

Li Yi often came to the provincial capital in his previous life. Although the city at that time was completely different from what it is now, he still knew roughly where some well-known buildings were located.

The current provincial capital is too dilapidated. There are low-rise bungalows everywhere. Only in some special places can you see a few small buildings that are not high, such as hospitals, government units, churches, etc.

Most of the houses and shops are still mainly bungalows. The exposed gray-brown walls and blackened eaves are completely different from the first city on the grassland beyond the Great Wall in Li Yi's memory.

But even so, the appearance of the provincial capital still shocked my father.

Especially the wide four-lane, as well as the buses and cars passing by on the lane from time to time, this is a scene that cannot be seen in Qingshan County.

Apart from these, the most attractive thing is the people on the streets.

It is the hot summer season now, and the streets are full of men and women wearing cool clothes.

Compared with the conservative Qingshan County, the dressing of young men and women in the provincial capital is too bold and avant-garde.

Especially the girls, some of them were just wearing a pair of half-leg pants and small sandals walking on the road.

If this were placed in Qingshan County, he would probably be scolded by those old men and women wearing red armbands as soon as he went out.

In addition to different styles, the clothes worn by people in provincial capitals are also different in color.

In Qingshan County, most people still wear black, blue and green, but here the streets are full of red, yellow and pink.

In comparison, people like Li Shankui wearing a blue long-sleeved coat are rare and have even attracted curious looks from many young people.

Li Yi knew that his father was curious about many things in the provincial capital. He patiently explained various new things in the city to his father, just like his father taught him when he was a child.

"The things that young man is stepping on are called roller skates, also called roller skates. He can run on any smooth surface and he is very fast!"

Seeing his father staring at a young man on roller skates, Li Yi immediately explained.

"He's running so fast, isn't he afraid of falling?" Li Shankui asked curiously.

"I'm afraid, but that thing also has skills. People who know how to use it usually won't fall."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly slipped and hit a mailbox on the side of the road.

Seeing this, my father smiled and said, "It seems he hasn't learned how to use it yet!"

"Ha ha!"

The father and son talked as they walked, and soon they arrived outside an ancient building south of the city gate.

Although Li Shankui was illiterate, he knew what the building in front of him was for.

"Why did you bring me to the temple?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Dad, this is the largest temple in our Saibei area. It happens to be not far from where we live, so I will take you to see it!"

"Haha, what's so interesting about a lamasery? In the past years when Qiaoerji Temple was there, we would have gone there so many times a year!"

Li Yi knew that the Qiaoerji Temple his father was talking about was a local temple in Qingshan County, but Li Yi had no impression of that temple because in more than ten years, the ancient temple, known as the second largest temple in northern Saibei, was The little red soldier was smashed.

But even 20 years later, local people in Qingshan County still often mention that temple, and many people feel regretful about it.

While talking, Li Yi took his father along the steps and walked into the temple.

Li Yi is quite familiar with the temple in front of him. As the largest temple in the provincial capital and even the entire northern grassland, Wuliang Temple has a great influence in the entire northern region.

In his previous life, Li Yi basically came here every two years, lit a stick of incense and prayed for that beautiful and unfortunate person.Compared with the Wuliang Temple in my memory, it is undoubtedly dilapidated in front of me.

The plaque on the door has lost its color, and the words Wuliang Temple are almost unclear.

The building was severely damaged. Not only did a lot of bricks and tiles fall off the walls, but the rafters on the roof were also long and short. It looked like they had been gnawed by dogs.

In addition, the murals that were later known as the most famous murals in Wuliang Temple were also dim and colorless at this time, and some places had even fallen off the walls, completely lacking the vividness and vividness that Li Yi had seen before.

Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. People today have not realized the value and significance of this temple, so they let it continue to deteriorate like this.

By the time people want to protect it, it is already too late for many things.

But there is nothing Li Yi can do about these things. After all, his strength is still too small and he does not have the strength to repair such a large temple.

Walking in along the gate, the layout inside was not much different from Li Yi's memory, but it was just as dilapidated as before.

After watching for a while, Li Shankui suddenly said that his stomach was uncomfortable.

Li Yi immediately asked the person where the toilet was and took him there.

Taking advantage of his father's time to go to the toilet, Li Yi came to the main hall next to him, ready to see the silver Buddha, the treasure of Wuliang Temple.

The Silver Buddha of Wuliang Temple is very famous. It is said to be made by Nepalese craftsmen and its whole body is made of 3 taels of pure silver.

It has a long history, dating back more than 400 years, and is one of the largest existing silver Buddhas in China.

But what Li Yi didn't expect was that as soon as his right leg entered the hall, before his left leg could follow in, he was hit by a young man who hurriedly ran out from inside.

Fortunately, Li Yi's body was strong enough. Although his body staggered due to the impact, he did not fall to the ground.

On the contrary, the young man who hit the person was bounced back by the force of the shock, and then fell to the ground.

Li Yi immediately stepped forward and said: "Comrade, are you okay?"

The young man with a dark face got up from the ground and said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay. I left in too hasty. I'm really sorry!"

Seeing that the other party's attitude was good, Li Yi was not angry and was about to let the other party leave.

But when he saw the young man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help being surprised, it turned out to be him.

Seeing Li Yi looking directly at him, the young man felt a little uneasy, and immediately asked cautiously: "Comrade, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Is your surname Ma?" Li Yi suddenly asked.

"Do we know each other?"

"do not know!"

"then you."

Li Yi smiled and said, "I know a little about fortune telling. You are a blessed person. No matter what problems you encounter now, you can turn them into good fortunes. Don't worry."

"Ah, I don't count my fate!"

"Haha, I won't charge you any money. If someone invites you to change your working environment during this period, you might as well give it a try. This is a good opportunity for you!"

"How did you know someone invited me?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Yi interrupted him and said, "Don't say it! Judging from your appearance, you are facing a major turning point in your life. Take a step forward to expand the world, and take a step back to stay where you are!"

At this time, Li Yi saw his father coming out too!
Dang even said nothing, walked directly to his father, and then left Wuliang Temple together, leaving only the confused young man standing there.
