Chapter 74 Longhu Mountain
At night, Chen Pingsheng did not stay in the car.
With his conditions, if he wants to go out for fun, he must be arranged to stay in a five-star hotel.
After leaving a day of pleasant memories in the ancient town, they rushed from Shijiazhuang to Dengfeng after breakfast the next morning.
This is both the way home and the way of journey.
The total length is more than 400 kilometers and it takes about four hours to drive.
The Bosu is driving smoothly and comfortably on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway.
Song Yanxi, who was sitting in the second row, didn't look at Tong Jiaqian anymore. Instead, like Lao Chen, she listened to the popular campus music of those years.
In those years, Jay Chou dominated an era.
There are also the three QQ giants including Xu Song, Wang Sulong and Xu Liang.
Think back to the past.
Wearing a Shamatte style, I listened to Sparks and danced to Audition in the Internet cafe.
Handsome and dashing.
"Brother, you play the guitar pretty well."
Chen Qi sat in the passenger seat, and he planned to let her drive halfway. This time they were going to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Dengfeng.
Scenic spots and historical sites.
"No, that was good before."
"Dad, I want to learn to play guitar too."
Chen Anan stood up to join in the fun, but Chen Pingsheng didn't hesitate to hit her: "I still believe you when you play with cotton."
Humph╭(╯^╰)╮, Chen Anan sat down obediently again.
She wouldn't flinch, "Dad, I saw something on my phone, but Mom won't buy it for me."
"What is it?" Chen Pingsheng asked her.
Song Yanxi lifted her little ear and said, "How dare you say that? She wants to spend two thousand to buy a pair of flowery shorts for Xiaoshu at home."
"You..."
Chen Pingsheng really wants to say, I make money just to give you some useless consumption, right?
The brother of the child should be patient and teach slowly.
"Hey An An, your mom was right not to buy you anything. Look at what you've done to the little tree at home. Can you buy something useful?"
"What's useful?"
You've stumped me.
This question stumped him. He had no idea what Chen Anan was thinking about all day long.
When he arrived at Shaolin Temple, he would definitely have his fortune told.
It depends on when this little guy can do something meaningful.
Shaolin Temple in Songshan is a 5A-level scenic spot, a world-class geological park, and the most sacred mountain among the Five Sacred Mountains.
In fact, the most famous places in Songshan are the Observatory, Songyue Temple Pagoda, Dharma King Temple, and the Seventy-two Unique Skills.
This place is the same as the ancient town scenic area, there are many performances at night.
Note: Such as martial monks competing in martial arts, etc.
After Chen Pingsheng drove here, he went hiking with his family as soon as possible.
Along the way, there are many fortune tellers dressed as masters, setting up stalls to tell fortunes.
Don't underestimate these people, their income is shockingly high.
It's a business with no capital involved, making money depends entirely on your mouth.
Chen Pingsheng found an old man who looked like a great master. At the gate of Shaolin Temple, he actually pretended to be a Wudang Taoist priest.
This can also be considered differentiated marketing.
The Taoist priest did not look at the horoscope or ask questions, but instead focused on touching the bones.
"It's expensive, expensive, really beyond words."
After touching it for about ten seconds, the old Taoist began to shake his head.
Chen Pingsheng asked him, "How is it?"
The old Taoist pointed at the ground, and Chen Pingsheng turned around to look. Wow.
It's a low-class fate, and a fortune telling only costs ten dollars.
Which bastard would admit that he has an inferior life.
If you have an average fate, you can count one hundred divinations.
Not many people calculate this every day.
The most common one is the one mentioned above, the best life, but stealing the secrets of heaven will shorten one's life span.
Isn't charging eight hundred a reasonable amount?
As for the one at the top, it accumulates merits of three lives and initiates the destiny of this life.
Three thousand is not too much to charge you!
To put it simply, if the Taoist priest himself doesn't bid, and you have the nerve to admit that you are just a low-class person, then he will give you ten dollars.
If you don't want to accept your fate, then give me 100. If you are ambitious, then give me 800.
I feel like I'm the coolest guy in the crowd. If I don't kill you, who else will I kill?
When it comes to fortune-telling, if you ask whether there is anyone who can truly predict a glimmer of the secrets of heaven, the answer is definitely yes.
Chinese culture is extensive and profound, so it is normal to have some strange people and things.
But such people are rare. Most of them have only learned a little bit of the I Ching and Gossip, and they only half understand what they say.
The main thing is to guess the secret yourself.
If he guesses right, it means he is great; if he guesses wrong, it doesn’t matter.
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have really figured out the art of marketing."
"No, no, that's not right. Buddha once said that money is the root of all evil. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Are you kidding? Is it easy for me to pretend to be a master in this freezing weather?
If you don't make any money, why are you hanging out here?
"Haha, that's quite sincere."
Chen Pingsheng paid him three thousand yuan. In fact, any rich person could see through this little trick.
The reason why people are willing to pay is simply to buy peace of mind.
Isn't it very pleasant to listen to the old Taoist talk about his own tricks?
After receiving the money, the old Taoist priest would immediately reorganize his words, focusing on making the customers happy to listen and himself feel comfortable with the profit.
To be honest, fortune tellers are also called Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong.
Top Feng Shui masters have a very high status in Hong Kong, not to mention their income.
Before a famous star-rated hotel opened, they invited a Hong Kong feng shui master to take a look, but the master just took a quick tour of the hotel.
Then draw a circle and open a small door next to the main door.
The fee is 12 million, a true story.
This shows how exaggerated these people's income is.
Chen Anan also wanted to calculate the cost. Chen Pingsheng spent 800 yuan on her, but the little girl was still a little dissatisfied. She wanted to spend 5,000 yuan to buy a precious life.
She didn't save her life, but Chen Pingsheng beat her with a big slap, making her scream.
You still want to be better than me? Are you going to heaven?
Xiao Anan stopped making a fuss. They had a formal purpose for coming here, which was to learn the 72 Shaolin Kung Fu skills.
She had already made up her mind to learn the legendary Iron Head Kung Fu.
If possible, it would be best to learn the Five Poison Hands.
She thought that from now on she would be able to dominate the martial arts world and become a legendary peerless master.
That's just too exciting.
Shaolin Temple knows how to make money, so it has opened its own martial arts academy.
Many Kung Fu stars have learned here since childhood.
That's why the martial arts movies they make are so popular.
It’s no longer the case now. Those young actors who shoot martial arts scenes can only deliver a set of smooth turtle punches without slow motion.
The martial arts drama that they loved most at that time gradually became obsolete.
Chen Anan actually ran up to learn boxing, and this is Chen Pingsheng's evaluation of her.
A peerless master doesn’t need to learn, he can master the fart fist by himself.
Just look at her fat ass and her limbs moving around.
I practiced for a while with great effort.
"Dad, I feel like my head is already hard, come and try it."
Try it and it will pass away.
A second later, Chen Anan was stunned, and then burst into tears.
Ran to his mother's arms for comfort.
It's all fake, the Iron Head Skill is not hard at all.
Chen Anan was too enthusiastic and after being beaten and crying, she turned around and went to learn the Five Poison Hands.
She also slapped her father on the butt.
Little Anan giggled, and Chen Pingsheng slapped her again, making her cry.
The adult's is the real Five Poison Palm. It's not very effective, but it can still make you cry.
Chen An has nothing to live for.
He turned around and learned the Wind God Kick from others, the kind that allows him to kick himself away with one kick.
Now that I'm old, I'm still very happy to raise a girl, even though she can be naughty sometimes.
Most of the time, they are still the little cotton-padded jackets of their parents.
Chen Pingsheng spent two days in Songshan before setting off for his next stop, the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang.
Just before leaving, I met two college girls who were hitchhiking on a budget.
The so-called budget travel means traveling without any money and having fun along the way.
Many people regard this as the fun and challenge of life, but there is another version.
Sleep and play all the way.
What I mean is, the so-called pursuit of the spiritual path is just a euphemism. Most of the time, it just means riding in the driver's car, sleeping with the driver, and then treating them to a few meals.
Drivers who travel long distances in places like XZ encounter this kind of situation most often.
Society has opened up and people's minds have been liberated.
It is common to have several boyfriends and abortions before getting married.
This time, it was Song Yanxi who asked them to get in the car, mainly because she was attracted by their story of traveling on a budget.
These two girls have been planning a spontaneous trip since high school, with no purpose in mind, just going wherever they end up.
Anyway, what I want is to travel across most of China.
It was only when we were about to graduate that we made up our minds to take this step. We each brought 1,000 yuan and planned to spend 30 days walking from south to north.
To pay tribute to the college days that are about to pass.
Song Yanxi's only regret is that she did not go to college.
In fact, this is not just her regret. Many people have it. It would be perfect to skip high school and go directly to college.
University is the youth of countless people.
It is also the most important chapter.
These two girls simply wanted to put a perfect end to their college life.
They met while having breakfast together.
"I really envy you for being able to leave such an important chapter in your life."
You envy them, and they envy you.
Song Yanxi is only 26 years old, not much older than them.
"Sister Yanxi, we just want to give an account of our past selves before entering society."
Speaking of which, people are actually divided into several stages from the moment they are born.
Elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college before entering society.
After graduating from college, the next step is to enter the workplace, get promoted and get a raise, then get married and have children.
As for the second half of life, most of it is lived for the children.
Guan Xiu was like this. Before she was twenty, what she was taught most was to study hard so that she could have a bright future when she grew up.
Nowadays, being able to go on a trip at any time can be considered a small act of rebellion.
"College life should be wonderful, right?"
"Of course. It's okay in the first and second years of college, but in the third year you have to start internships. The fourth year is even more challenging, looking for jobs and submitting resumes everywhere to find internships."
"All this hustle and bustle is just for a little bit of silver."
Chen Pingsheng was very good at pretending to be cool and blurted out a famous quote about life.
Coupled with the dashing look of him driving the Bosu with one hand, he really looks like a boss driver.
"Uncle, is the purpose of life to make money?"
I finally met such a simple and unpretentious big man. I would feel sorry for myself if I didn’t ask a few more questions.
"Of course not."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Take us men as an example. Life actually has two stages: before marriage and after marriage."
"Before marriage, it doesn't matter how you have fun. Once you're married, a man has only one interest: making money."
“Because it’s a responsibility.”
"You women are different. A woman's life actually has two stages: before giving birth and after giving birth."
"Before having a child, a woman actually has many choices to make, and the most important one is actually choosing the right man."
"After having children, things are different. Whether you can take care of your husband and children or be a career woman, it all depends on how you want to live your life."
"To put it bluntly, women don't have to shoulder family responsibilities. They just need to pick a good man to live a good life."
This is probably the biggest difference between men and women.
Guan Xiu actually often hears this kind of talk. It is better to marry well than to do well.
The topic has gone a bit far, and Chen Pingsheng is not a qualified life mentor.
He simply thought that women's lives could be less tiring.
As for those who don't have to make money to raise a child and still complain all day long, they are absolutely pretentious.
"Uncle, what is your ideal in life?" College students are all a bit idealistic, and Guan Xiu is no exception.
I always think that people should have their own great ideals while they are alive.
God bless you, from the very beginning Chen Pingsheng’s only thought was to give his wife and children a good life.
At least half of the people in society have this idea.
It’s a pity that college students can’t understand it.
Just like how his sister-in-law had desperately accused him, if one has never suffered the beatings of society, how can one truly understand the dangers of society?
"My ideal."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "My wife just said that she probably has no hope of going to college, but I can still build a university for her and let her become the president's wife."
Guan Xiu was surprised: "Uncle, can you still open a university?"
"Of course you can. University is not a sacred place. It's just a place for teaching and educating people."
Chen Pingsheng said: "Have you ever heard the saying that children from poor families have three treasures: cooking, hairdressing, and auto repair."
"Most children from rural families learn these three skills. I want to open a culinary university in the future."
He actually had higher goals, but there was no need to discuss them with these college students.
He wants to open a beauty school and a culinary school.
Beauty is a women's school, but chefs are men's.
In the future, I will open my own marriage agency and introduce people to each other, so I don’t have to go out to attract business.
He is really a genius at making money.
He is undoubtedly a big shot. When they were having breakfast before, Guan Xiu thought he was the same as them.
I'm also traveling on a budget. You'll know when you get on the bus later.
People are here just to enjoy life.
These are two completely different concepts. Enjoying life means not being troubled by any financial problems.
The purpose of going out to play is to have fun.
They are different. They have to consider the price in everything they do.
Food and accommodation are both problems.
…
Next stop: Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang.
A national 5A-level scenic spot, one of the three major grottoes in China, with a long history.
Its excavation has gone through many eras. In addition to Buddha statues, it also preserves a large number of religious, art, architectural and other physical materials.
It can be said that Longmen Grottoes is a large stone carving art museum.
When people reach a certain age, they like to practice Buddhism, all they want is to have a peaceful mind.
Bosu set out on a journey and finally arrived at this holy Buddhist site from Shaolin Temple after several hours.
Chen Anan was not going to stop, and after arriving here, she ran as fast as she could.
It was as if she was afraid that others didn't know that she was an unparalleled master.
The main thing here is to appreciate the ancient stone carving art. If you like this kind of thing, you will love it very much, but if you don’t like it, it will get boring after watching it for a few hours.
Chen An looked around and picked up a lot of useless things. Then the family stayed here for a day and set off for the birthplace of Taoism, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.
The natural scenery here is very beautiful, and there is also the mystery of the cliff treasures that has remained unsolved for thousands of years.
It is extremely mysterious.
As the sun sets, Chen Pingsheng and his family rented a boat and sailed up the lake. He suddenly discovered that many martial arts dramas, including fairy tales, were filmed here.
The scenery is stunning.
Even Chen Anan suddenly lost herself in front of this picturesque beauty, and even said with her hands behind her back, "Dad, I want to recite a poem."
"You can also recite poetry?" Chen Pingsheng was a little surprised.
If you don't listen to what she says next, you will really feel like Li Bai is possessed by her. But after listening to the following poem, you will find that when it comes to knowledge, she never disappoints.
"The white moonlight in front of the bed, I think it's mulberry on the ground..."
She shook her head and couldn't remember the next sentence, so Guan Xiu reminded her.
Little An An suddenly became enlightened and stopped reciting poems.
"Dad, can we build a big house here?"
You are building a house in Longhu Mountain, you want to cultivate immortality, right?
From now on I can’t call you my daughter, I have to call you fellow Taoist.
Chen Pingsheng: "I definitely can't build a big house, but it's possible for me to buy a mountain like you and become the king of the mountain!"
Xiao Anan's eyes lit up. Is this possible?
Song Yanxi went over and patted her awake. The little girl loved to daydream all day long. If she was given a little more space, she would probably go and discuss addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with Zhang Daoling.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Wait until you're in the top ten in your class."
"She really didn't think too much this time."
Chen Pingsheng liked this place very much. He looked at the cliffs on both sides of the lake and said, "When we are old, it would be wonderful to build a house in a place like this, watch the wild geese fly south, and experience the sunset."
"Even you're starting to have wild thoughts."
Song Yanxi gave the father and daughter a cold look, but Chen Pingsheng said, "How can this be wishful thinking? Aren't B&Bs very popular now? They're those houses built on the mountains. Others can use them for business, so we can make our own homes. It's just a little more expensive."
B&Bs can increase tourism revenue, but private homes cannot.
The only way to pass the approval process is to have stacks of solid cash.
He is planning for his old age in advance.
Longhu Mountain is really beautiful, just like Zhangjiajie in southern Taiwan, it is a must-see attraction in your lifetime.
Not only did they cruise the lake, they also went to Shangqing Temple together the next day.
The Taoist priests here are much more serious than those in Shaolin Temple. They are truly knowledgeable.
It is not in vain that monks come to power in prosperous times and Taoists come down from the mountains in troubled times.
