Chapter 763 Hidden Ancient Temple in the Deep Mountains
Xu Chunliang sent Ye Qingya downstairs to the studio, stopped and said, "Sister Qingya, go to bed early."
Ye Qingya nodded and said: "You should go back earlier, by the way, don't tell anyone about my return for now."
"clear."
Watching Ye Qingya walk into the unit door, Xu Chunliang just left.
Because he was not on a business trip, Xu Chunliang did not choose to live in the Dongzhou Beijing Office, and he was not short of money, so there was no need to take advantage of the government.
Although Chen Qianfan graciously invited him to live in the office of Qianfan Group, Xu Chunliang politely declined. Firstly, he did not want to take advantage of Qianfan Group, and secondly, the place was too far from the city center.
He chose a hotel close to Shuimu. After May 1st, there will be intensive training at Europa Business School. If you come here, you will be safe, and you might as well wait until the training is over before leaving. Unexpectedly, this time you come to Beijing, you can not only be a student, but also have the opportunity to be a guest teacher character of.
As soon as Xu Chunliang entered the hotel lobby, Pu Jian called and asked him if he had gone to Transition Cloud Temple?
Xu Chunliang was a little strange, why did he think of asking about this place? After asking, I found out that someone entrusted Pujian to help repair Duyun Temple. The condition is to find a construction team specializing in the restoration of ancient buildings, and try to make the restoration as old as possible.
Xu Chunliang immediately guessed who the client was: "Mo Han looking for you?"
Pu Jian laughed a little embarrassedly: "I really can't hide anything from you. She said that the temple was in disrepair for a long time, so she offered me a sum of money to help find someone to renovate."
Xu Chunliang said: "I have been there once."
Pu Jian immediately regained his energy when he heard this: "Are you free tomorrow? Would you like to go to Duyun Temple with me? I haven't had much dealings with monks in the past."
Xu Chunliang has nothing to do anyway when he is free, and it will be the day after tomorrow to go to Shuren to take over as a substitute teacher, so he agreed.
Early the next morning, Pu Jian drove a Subaru Forester to pick him up. In the same car was Ge Guangming, who claimed to be an expert in restoration of ancient buildings.
Xu Chunliang was skeptical, and said that people should not be judged by their appearance, but this Ge Guangming was too ordinary. From his appearance to his clothes, there was a sense of rusticity, and there was no trace of culture from head to toe.
Ge Guangming took the initiative to shake hands with him, his palms were full of calluses, the hands of a typical working people, and they were still specialized in manual labor.
Pu Jianwei and the two made a brief introduction, telling them to get on the bus quickly and follow the location Mo Han sent him. The Duyun Temple is more than 100 kilometers away from here.
Xu Chunliang received a call from Ye Qingya before getting in the car, but she had prepared the lesson plan in advance and asked Xu Chunliang if he needed it. If necessary, he could come to her studio to get it.
Xu Chunliang said that he was preparing to go to Duyun Temple, and he would probably come back very late today.
Ye Qingya has never heard of the name of the transition cloud temple.
Xu Chunliang said briefly, Ye Qingya heard that there are many exquisite cliff carvings in Duyun Temple, she immediately became interested, and she offered to go there with Xu Chunliang to find out.
Since Ye Qingya proposed, Xu Chunliang certainly couldn't refuse, since there are still vacancies in the car anyway.
Pu Jian was surprised when he heard that Ye Qingya was going with him. After all, Qiao Rulong was still hospitalized in Dongzhou, and Ye Qingya left him and returned to the capital. The relationship between the couple seemed not good.
He didn't doubt that Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya had anything, after all he knew that Ye Qingya was Xu Chunliang's god-sister.
Xu Chunliang specifically reminded Pu Jian that Ye Qingya used to burn incense and pray for blessings. When she saw Ye Qingya, she just pretended not to know her. Don’t tell anyone what happened today.
Pu Jian drove to Ye Qingya's studio to pick her up, which took some time.
Xu Chunliang remembers that it took more than three hours to go to Duyun Temple last time, but it was snowing that time, and this time it went much smoother. It only took more than an hour for Pujian to drive to the place.
Pu Jian and Ge Guangming thought they could drive directly to the gate of Duyun Temple, but when they got there, they realized that the job might not be easy, and they had to walk more than half an hour on the mountain road from the parking place to Duyun Temple.
Ge Guangming complained incessantly after walking halfway: "This job can't be done. The car can't drive on this road. Do we have to carry the building materials manually?"
Pu Jian said: "Don't rush to draw conclusions, go to the place and have a look."
Xu Chunliang got an advantage when he guessed this guy, otherwise he wouldn't have worked so hard to help Mo Han.
The reason why Ye Qingya offered to come over to take a look was mainly because she was afraid of being alone. After going back last night, she couldn't sleep all night. She thought that returning to the capital and locking herself in the studio would allow her to calm down. In fact, But it is more troublesome.
Coming out today also has a somewhat relaxing nature.
Seeing her pale and tired expression, Xu Chunliang guessed that she didn't sleep well last night, so he handed her a piece of chocolate to replenish her energy.
Ye Qingya said: "Is this already outside the scope of the capital?"
Follow the rugged mountain road into the woods in front, hear the sound of water coming from the woods, turn around the rocks in front, a clear spring flows straight down, splashing pearls and jade. A monk in a gray monk's robe was fetching water by the spring, and he scooped up the spring water with a ladle and poured it into a bucket.
Xu Chunliang recognized the monk as the dumb monk from Duyun Temple.
Ye Qingya said: "Chunliang, do you know the story of the ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head.
Ye Qingya said while walking.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji loved calligraphy and painting, and founded and managed the earliest Royal Academy of Painting in the world. This outstanding calligrapher and painter set up a painting school, taught in person, established an examination system for calligraphy and painting, prepared questions and approved papers in person, cultivated painting talents, and created a generation of painting style.
At that time, the examination standard of the Academy of Painting was: complete brushwork. He gave the students a topic called Shenshan Tibetan Ancient Temple.
This title sounds very clear and has a sense of picture, but it is not so easy to really paint colorfully.
Some people paint an ancient temple on the mountainside, and some people paint an ancient temple deep in the jungle. Some people painted the temple completely, while others only painted a corner of the temple or a section of the ruined wall of the temple... These can be said to be the top group of painters in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji looked at one after another, but he never found a work that satisfied him. When he was disappointed, a painting jumped into his eyes. After examining it carefully, Song Huizong repeatedly nodded in praise and exclaimed, this is the work of the first choice!
People went to watch and found that there was no temple in the painting. The painting is among the mountains and mountains, there are flying springs and waterfalls. There is an old monk by the spring who is carrying water. Just such a water-carrying monk expressed the title of "Ancient Temples Hidden in the Deep Mountains" implicitly and profoundly.
The concept of this painting is extremely clever. The monk carries water, of course, for cooking, washing and starching clothes. It is not difficult to think that there must be a temple nearby. The monk is old and has to carry water by himself. One can imagine his shelter. The ground is a dilapidated ancient temple. On the screen, there are only deep mountains but no temples, which expresses Tibetan characters extremely accurately. Compared with those paintings of a corner of the temple or a section of the wall of the temple, this painting is more in line with the meaning of the title "ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains".
Those failed painters were not poor in painting skills, but because of mediocre ideas.
Pu Jian listened with relish: "This story is very philosophical. I often think that others can make money in the same business, but I can't make money. It's not because I'm not capable enough, but because I look at the problem from the wrong angle."
Ye Qingya smiled lightly: "People are different, so of course they look at the world differently."
The dumb monk saw Xu Chunliang, and laughed at him with a bucket in his hand. He remembered Xu Chunliang, and it was Xu Chunliang who cured Master Tonghui.
Xu Chunliang said: "Master, are you safe?"
The dumb monk grinned: "Aba! Aba!"
The heavy rain a few days ago caused mountain torrents and destroyed two Buddhist halls in Duyun Temple.
When they arrived, Monk Tonghui was drying Buddhist scriptures on the rocks.
Seeing Xu Chunliang: "Appearing in front of my eyes, Tong Hui said happily: "Benefactor Xu, why are you here! "
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Master doesn't welcome me?"
Tong Hui said: "Where is it? Miss Mo said that someone would come over today, but she didn't mention that it was you."
Xu Chunliang introduced Pu Jian and Ge Guangming to Tong Hui, and Tong Hui stepped forward to salute.
Tong Hui asked them to go to the cave to drink tea, Pu Jian waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at the damage of your temple first, this is an ancient building restoration expert specially invited by me. Confucian Temple, it took me a long time to invite him here."
Tong Hui thanked you again and again.
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Master Ge can be regarded as a craftsman of a great country, and there will be no problem in repairing Duyun Temple."
Even if Ge Guangming didn’t have much education, he could tell that Xu Chunliang was mocking himself. What kind of craftsman was he? Tong Hui took Ge Guangming to see the damaged place first, and Pu Jian, as a middleman, of course had to follow.
Xu Chunliang did not go, but took Ye Qingya to visit the Daxiong Palace.
Ye Qingya lit three incense sticks and knelt down in front of the Buddha.
Seeing that she was so devout, Xu Chunliang quietly left the hall without disturbing her.
The dumb monk was waiting for him at the door, gesturing to Xu Chunliang, Xu Chunliang didn't understand what he meant, and when he was trying to figure it out, Ye Qingya came out from inside, and said softly: "The master asked you what you like to eat?"
Xu Chunliang said: "I like to eat meat and drink, will he make it for me?"
Ye Qingya wanted to laugh, she actually understood the dumb language, communicated with the dumb, told the dumb guest to do whatever he wanted, what he did, what they ate, came to this ancient temple in the remote mountains, Ye Qingya's mood improved a lot, and for the time being Put aside your troubles.
The dumb monk pointed to the cave, saying that they could visit the cliff carvings first.
Xu Chunliang brought Ye Qingya over there. Ye Qingya originally came here for the purpose of relaxation, but when she saw the calligraphy on the stone carvings on the cliff, she was immediately attracted. Most of these stone carvings were newly engraved. Chunliang told her that the engravings recently were all made by Monk Tonghui.
