Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 61 This Photo Is Rare

Standing near the big screen wall on the top of the Bodhisattva, looking up, one hundred and eight stone steps are paved to a high place, which is very steep, like a ladder straight up to the Heavenly Palace.Standing on the high platform of the stone steps, the wooden archway has four pillars and three gates, three floors up and down, and seven roofs. It is majestic and colorful.On the large plaque at the middle gate of the archway, the four gilt characters "Lingfeng Scenic Spot" inscribed by Emperor Kangxi himself are shining brightly.

In the early Qing Dynasty, in order to maintain unity, the emperor adopted a gentle policy towards the Manchu and Tibetan people. The Bodhisattva Peak, which was originally the head of the Lama Temple in Wutai Mountain, has become the highest temple in Wutai Mountain. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong visited Wutai Mountain many times, and they all stayed here.Therefore, it is also a necessary test for pilgrimage.

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" Hu Tu asked.

Wang Pinqiu has already stepped on the stone steps. She came here to see the best scenery, so she must go up.Chen Guotao is also eager to try. He will go back to school tomorrow, so he doesn't want to miss the good scenery tonight.

Only Xu Qiuyu hesitated, she said: "It's so dark, is it too risky to climb so high?"

This wasn't the reason she didn't want to go up, she was just a little tired and wanted to go back to sleep early.Before Hu Tu and Wang Pinqiu arrived, she and Chen Guotao had already visited Shuxiang Temple, Wuye Temple, Tayuan Temple and Xiantong Temple without taking a good rest.Moreover, she was not only tired and sleepy, but also felt very cold, and she really didn't want to climb any further.

"It's already here, it would be a pity not to go up and have a look." Hu Tu persuaded.

For most people, there is a four-syllable mantra that can never be avoided, and that is "come all come".As long as you "come all the time", you will buy tickets that are not cheap, break through the crowds, and visit unseen attractions; as long as you "come all the time", you will force yourself to eat the hard food on the plate Swallowing meals; as long as you "come and go," you'll convince yourself to stick with the drowsy movie.

However, Xu Qiuyu is obviously not a member of this irrationality. She analyzed ideally: "People are not always rational. When making decisions, they will always be affected by the costs that have occurred in the past. Economics defines this This kind of investment that has already occurred and cannot be recovered is called sunk cost. The so-called "everything has come" is a sunk cost that does not need to be considered at all."

Being able to extract the essence of knowledge from real life is a magical ability that Hu Tu has always wanted but could not achieve, so he admires people with this ability.He secretly took down her words, and then explained: "That's all I said." Xu Qiuyu was his friend, so he respected his friend's opinion.He looked at Chen Guotao, wanting to know his choice, but he didn't ask.

"Qiu Yu, then I'll go back with you." Chen Guotao took the initiative to say the answer.Climbing to the top of the Bodhisattva was what he wanted to do, and it was also what he wanted to be with Xu Qiuyu.Weighing the two together, he chose the latter.

Xu Qiuyu thought about it, and said: "I didn't say no. It's just that there are more than 100 steps, and it's rare for me. I just think that there is nothing interesting to go up, but I will drink more northwest wind." As she spoke, she followed Wang Pinqiu up the stone steps "thump, thump, thump".

Climbing along the [-] stone steps, according to the Buddhist saying, will step on the [-] kinds of troubles in the world.Climbing up the stone steps, standing under the archway, stroking the doorpost, turning around and looking around, the [-] steep stone steps are like a ladder hanging in the air.The mountains in the distance, the clouds on the mountains, the Qingshui River nearby, and the majestic temple complexes are all in sight.Therefore, I deeply feel that the words "Lingfeng Shengjing" are well-pointed.

Here is a good viewing point for climbing and sightseeing.Xu Qiuyu sat on the top step, panting heavily, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the night here is really nice, even more beautiful than the daytime."

The scenery during the day and the night cannot be compared, because different angles have different beauty.However, it is indeed difficult for tourists who are like clouds during the day to appreciate the beautiful scenery at night.

Looking at the town from here, the streets are brightly lit, and occasionally cars pass by, accidentally cutting through the tranquility of the night.Looking further into the distance, you can see the most prominent landmark of Mount Wutai - the Great White Pagoda.Under the light, it looks whiter than usual, as if the moonlight is hiding inside, and the only way to describe it as holy is holy.Standing on the top of the mountain and blowing the breeze, you can see the night view of Taihuai Town, which is even more beautiful. This night view is indeed the most moving scene among the various scenery of Mount Wutai.

"Yes, it's really nice here!" Chen Guotao sat with Xu Qiuyu, imitating her posture, and cast his eyes into the distance, as if by doing so, he could be in the same world as her.

Hu Tu closed his eyes and opened his arms, imagining that he was on a quiet mountain, with no one around, only the sound of running water and wind, and suddenly felt that he was in a moment with no past, no present, and no future.It seems that the Buddha closed his eyes in the distance, reciting Buddhist scriptures peacefully.

Wang Pinqiu was taking pictures with her camera in his arms, and happened to see Hu Tu's relaxed and quiet appearance at this time, suddenly got excited, walked behind him and took a picture of him.When looking back at the effect, she suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, this light effect is quite good."

"What?" Hu Tucong turned around.

Wang Pinqiu showed Hu Tu the photo he just took, and explained: "I just took a photo of you, you can see for yourself, there is a light on your head and hands, like a rainbow."

Hu Tu saw that the light was like a thin layer of rainbow covering his body.When this kind of thing happened in this holy land of Buddhism, if others definitely thought it was an auspicious omen, they might even consider themselves a bodhisattva.

However, Hu Tu became nervous, and his heart "thumped", as if he was about to jump out of his throat.He had already thought of the reason for this, so he quickly retracted the lotus whiskers deep into his body, and let the biting cold wind blow on his body, not daring to be presumptuous again. "Yeah, it's amazing!" he said perfunctorily.

Hearing such a strange event, Xu Qiuyu and the two also came to watch, and it was indeed so.She said in amazement: "Really, such an effect can be shot here. How did you take it? I want to try it too." Then she asked Chen Guotao to stand upright like in the photo, holding a mobile phone and talking happily Taking pictures of him is like discovering some kind of fun game.But the result disappointed her. There was nothing special about the photos she took.

Hu Tu became more nervous, afraid that they would discover his secret because of this, but the result was not as bad as he imagined.The three of them have been trying to reproduce the special light effect, but they can't think of the root of the problem. It's not the method and angle of shooting, but Hutu itself.

Even Wang Pinqiu, the professional photographer who took the photo, thought that the failure to take it was due to skill and angle. After many attempts to no avail, she said: "This may be a coincidence. In fact, photography is a process full of chance. Appropriate luck and the right time and place are an art that needs to be created with ideas."

Hu Tu hurriedly said: "That's fine, it shows that it's very rare to take such a photo, so it shows the preciousness of this photo." When he said this, he just wanted to expose this matter quickly, but Listening to other people's ears, this becomes a very straightforward show off.

"Hu Tu, you are enough." The three said in unison.
