Chapter 435 Ascending.

Hua Lang and the others hurriedly left the word club, and left the Chrysanthemum Villa after a short time.

Out of the Chrysanthemum Villa, Gongsun Ce hurriedly called out to Hua Lang and said: "Brother Hua, I haven't read the words you wrote just now, and I ask Brother Hua to chant to all of us again!" ”

Hua Lang smiled lightly and said, "It's just a matter of arguing with those literati, why should Mr. Gongsun say it again, let's go up!" ”

As soon as Hua Lang said this, Gongsun Ce was embarrassed to entangle him any longer, so he had to go out of the west of the city with everyone and rush all the way to Jianshan.

At this time, there was a depressed scene outside the city, the leaves had already fallen, even the flowers and plants had withered, and when passing by a river, the reeds by the river were also white, and the reeds were scattered, falling into the water and drifting with the current.

In this way, everyone walked across a river, and then walked for about half a pillar of incense, and finally came to the foot of Sword Mountain, and after coming to the foot of Sword Mountain, they understood why this Sword Mountain was called Sword Mountain, because the shape of Sword Mountain was like a slanted sword, and the top was only a very sharp part.

Jianshan is not very high, only a few hundred meters above sea level, in the middle of the mountainside trees, faintly visible a temple, I think it is the Seven Star Temple that Gongsun Ce said.

One side of the sword mountain leads to the main road, the other two sides are woods, and the back side is a river, and the Seven Star Temple on the sword mountain is facing the river, if you stand in the temple and look down, this river must be a scenery.

At this time, the people who came here to climb the mountain have come down and left one after another, they came in the morning, and they naturally had to leave after the climb, but not all of them were like this, because when the Hualang and the others climbed the mountain, they found that there were still a few people in front of them and behind them.

There are stone steps on the mountain, it seems to lead straight to the top of the mountain, I heard that it is the seven star temple in the several generations of monks chiseled out of the first step, it took decades, because of this matter, the people here are very respectful to the seven star temple, so there are many people who come here to make a vow at ordinary times.

When Hua Lang and the others climbed halfway, they found that there were many small flowers blooming on the mountain, and on this cliff, the one that bloomed was called a brilliant one, and Hua Lang saw this, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of flower is this, it is so good-looking." ”

Gongsun Ce is well-informed, and he doesn't know, at this time, Wang Chao smiled: "This is the seven-star sword flower, which is a plant that grows on the stone wall, and can bloom from midsummer to late autumn. ”

After listening to the words of the dynasty, Hua Lang asked with a smile: "Then I don't know if this seven-star temple is called the seven-star temple because of the seven-star sword flower, or is this flower called the seven-star sword flower because it grows next to the seven-star temple on the sword mountain?" ”

Such a far-reaching question could not be answered, and everyone had to laugh at the end.

Ascending is a physical job, so halfway through the climb, Bao Zhenggong Sun Ce, these weak scholars are already not good, they only shout to rest, but Wen Meng still wants to continue climbing, she looked around for a while, and said: "If you climb for a while, you will reach the Seven Star Temple, why not rest there again?" ”

It's cold and miserable here, and Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce have to agree to this.

After climbing a lot of distances, they finally came to the door of the Seven Star Temple, at this time there were many pilgrims who came to repay their vows in front of the Seven Star Temple, and the sound of chanting and the sound of wooden fish came from the lobby, which made people feel a trace of tranquility on this high mountainside.

The Seven Stars Temple is not small, think that this place is a large open space before, and later the monks in the Seven Stars Temple built this temple, Bao Zheng Gong Sun Ce and others did not dare to disturb the people in the Buddhist hall chanting, so they went to the back hall under the guidance of a small novice, the back hall is divided into several parts, one of which has a row of houses for pilgrims to stay, and the other part is inhabited by the monks in the temple, in the inside, it is the abbot's residence, these parts are separated by a wall, so they do not disturb each other, Each part is like a small courtyard.

Bao Zheng and the others rested temporarily in the place where the pilgrims lived, and then drank some tea and ate some fasting food, so that they had enough rest before continuing to ascend.

Because they had rested and eaten, they climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, and there was only a small place on the top of the mountain, where about a dozen people could stand, and someone had placed a railing on the side, so that people could hold on to the railing and look at it, but everyone felt that it was too dangerous, so they only looked down at the mountain not far from the railing.

At this time, the place where they stood was really high, and when they looked down, they felt that the crowd below was too small, and all they saw was a mountain forest, and then a river was faintly visible in it, and the river stretched so long that it was almost impossible to see at a glance.

Now in the embrace of nature, and climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone suddenly rose to the sky, feeling that all the difficulties in the world are no longer difficulties, all the troubles are no longer troubles, they are shouting at the top of the mountain, singing as soon as possible.

After a long time, it was not until the sun fell that they suddenly thought that they were going to come and leave, although the scenery here was very beautiful, but they could not spend the night here, it was late autumn, and this was the top of the mountain, and at night they did not know what the road would be cold into.

When going down the mountain, it doesn't take much effort, as long as people take a step, it seems like they want to go down by themselves, and sometimes they have to lean back a little if they want to stop, so they don't have much effort when they go down the mountain, but when they come to the Seven Star Temple again, their calves suddenly ache, and they don't feel like their own.

This is because they climbed the mountain too hard, plus when they went down the mountain, their legs suddenly relaxed, which caused soreness, and the legs were sore, everyone didn't want to continue to go down, at this time the bell in the Seven Star Temple rang, and there was a Sanskrit sound in the ears, they were infected for a while, and decided to spend one night in the Seven Star Temple, and after resting, it was not too late to go down the mountain tomorrow.

At this time, the abbot of the Seven Star Temple had already walked out, and after he came out, he folded with Bao Zheng, and said: "Just now there was a little novice who said that he saw Lord Bao, and said that Lord Bao had left the mountain, I guessed that after Lord Bao and others came down from the mountain, the road must be difficult, so I greeted him again." ”

What the abbot said is not bad at all, with Bao Zheng's dark face, I am afraid it is not comparable to ordinary people, so people who see him will inevitably wonder if it is Lord Bao, and now Bao Zheng is really famous, it is not strange for some people to think so.

Bao Zheng and the others were naturally full of joy when they saw that the abbot was so enthusiastic, so after some kind words, they followed the abbot into the lobby of the Seven Star Temple.
