Chapter 4, Mount Emei
When it comes to traveling, Ye Kai is still a novice and has no idea what to prepare. No matter what he does, he will definitely avoid many detours if he is led by an experienced driver.
Wannian Temple is one of the main attractions of Mount Emei. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sat upright in it. The walls inside the temple were painted with flying sky, and many Buddha statues were arranged around it.
The three of them walked around Wannian Temple for a while and found a hotel to rest. At about nine o'clock the next day, Ye Kai was woken up by Sun Shang: "Ye Kai is up, I've found a tour guide to be your companion."
The tour guide is a girl under 20 years old. I guess the tour guides are very talkative and never stop talking along the way. They are either chatting with everyone or introducing stories about various attractions.
"Do you know how the name of Mount Emei came from?" asked the tour guide.
Sun Shang did his homework and said, "There is a description on the Water Sutra, and the autumn moon is clear. I saw the two mountains standing against each other like Emei. Later, it was changed to Emei, and it was called Emei Mountain."
The tour guide smiled and said, "It's still you scholars who are educated, I don't know if there is such a statement."
Zhou Sihui suddenly shook Sun Shang's arm and said, "Look, monkey!"
Three monkeys were squatting on the handrail next to them, snatching the food handed to them by tourists in front of them. When they saw monkeys appearing, more than a dozen people gathered around them, holding their mobile phones like reporters interviewing.
Ye Kai is also among them. Isn’t it in vain if I don’t post it on my Moments?
The monkey in Mount Emei gave Ye Kai the impression that he was fat and could eat. He had never stopped eating anywhere. He also had a bad temper, but everyone had a high tolerance for monkeys and did not lose his temper.
"The monkeys here used to be very obedient, but now they have a worse temper and are no longer afraid of people."
"It's normal. There are too many people traveling to Mount Emei now. Why are you afraid of seeing it every day? Besides, monkeys don't have to look for food in the mountains. When you wait on the road to Mount Emei, countless people line up to feed them."
"By the way, you should pay attention to something." The tour guide said: "There are monkeys in the road ahead. Don't take things out of your pocket. You can't misunderstand that there is something to eat in your pocket, and you can't take things in your backpack."
One thing is that monkeys can’t misunderstand that you have food on you.
Not long after leaving the three monkeys, a monkey in front of him was robbing him, pulling a middle-aged elder brother's bag, and the elder brother had no choice but to throw the bag on the ground.
The monkey happily started looking for something inside.
"I snatch it up, hey!" Sun Shang found it very interesting.
Zhou Sihui pulled his clothes and said, "Go away quickly, it's so scary."
The highest altitude of Mount Emei is more than 3,000 meters. The higher you go, the colder the weather is. Fortunately, it is not autumn and winter now, otherwise it would be a bit cold if a few people don’t wear coats.
The tour guide pointed to the stream on the left and said, "This river is divided into two, one is called Bailong Creek, and the other is called Heilong Creek. It is rumored that Bai Snake and Xiao Qingchang were transformed."
Zhou Sihui asked: "Isn't White Snake a legend in Hangzhou? Why does Emei have it too?"
Ye Kai said, "Bai Snake was born in Qingcheng Mountain, practiced in Mount Emei, and then went to Hangzhou to find a life-saving benefactor to repay his kindness."
"It was originally like this." Zhou Sihui said.
Sun Shang threw a stone into the stream and said, "The ancient legend has gone to the sea. Just listen to it, but he doesn't care about it."
All four of them are young people. They are not slow to climb the mountain, but their physical fitness is very poor. They need to rest after not long. The only person who does not blush or breathe is the tour guide girl.
The tour guide girl is a medicine farmer at the foot of the mountain. When she was young, she often went up and down the mountain and ran back and forth. She had long been used to walking such mountain roads.
Sun Shang whispered to Ye Kai: "This tour guide girl is pretty good. Last time I met someone who always asked us to buy things, but it was not enough time to walk halfway, so I took us down the mountain.
Do you want to add WeChat to get to know each other? They are pretty, if I hadn’t brought my girlfriend with me, I would have to do WeChat.”
Ye Kai gave him a blank look, "Zhou Sihui is much better than those women you used to. If you break up after playing for a few more days, I will look down on you."
"Don't talk about me, what about you."
The tour guide suddenly said, "You are going to rest in the Golden Peak, right? We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't be there."
Ye Kai also had enough rest and said, "Okay, let's go."
Along the way, the mountain paths were winding and twists, and there was a sense of anxiety at the end of the road, but at one corner, there was a bright future.
The dangerous cliffs on both sides of the road were like a giant axe splitting a mountain in half. The waterfalls roared and the birds sang. With the gentle road, Ye Kai finally understood what winding paths mean.
The sky gradually became dark, and the number of passengers on the road gradually decreased.
"Boss, you will definitely not be able to reach the Golden Peak today. Why don't we take the cable car? Or find a temple to rest here."
Sun Shang immediately answered: "Take a cable car and take a cable car."
He had walked so many roads there. If his girlfriend and Ye Kai hadn't had to walk, he would have been sitting in a sedan carrying someone else up the mountain. Now he felt his legs numb.
The cable car here is similar to the bus in Rongcheng early in the morning. Ye Kai felt like he was squeezed into a sandwich. He protected the tour guide girl and Sun Shang protected Zhou Sihui and moved forward with difficulty.
Fortunately, the cable car was going up the mountain faster, and the sea of clouds was surging around me, and it was reaching the Golden Peak in a few minutes.
"It's long time to take the cable car." Sun Shang said gasping.
They booked a hotel here, and the tour guide stayed at a relative's house. In fact, her mission was over when she arrived at the top of the mountain. She didn't need her to lead the way tomorrow. After watching the sunrise, the three of them took the cable car down the mountain.
The three of them parted ways with the tour guide girl.
The hotel in Jinding is very expensive. If you want to be cheap, you can live in the temple. However, it is inconvenient. Sun Shang is the one who brings his girlfriend. Ye Kai felt it was troublesome to meet tomorrow, so he booked the hotel in Jinding together.
The cheapest room costs 600, and the better ones cost thousands.
But the facilities inside are just about 200 hotels in the city. I have to say that the things in the scenic area are expensive.
Put the luggage downstairs and the three of them went downstairs to have dinner together. The food in Emei Mountain was quite cheap, and it only cost more than 300 yuan after ordering a few dishes.
"You resigned, what will you do in the future?" Sun Shang suddenly asked.
Ye Kai didn't know about this question. He thought about it for a while and thought that he could get 30,000 yuan every time he went to a city. So, he should travel around first, and maybe he would figure it out as he walked.
"I want to walk around first."
"I'm traveling everywhere, I really envy you." Zhou Sihui said.
"Then how do you make money?"
Sun Shang asked about the idea, Mr. Ye Kai couldn't say it was all thanks to the system, right? And Ye Kai didn't even know how the money came about.
"I'm a...tourist? Yes, how about you say I'm a travel photographer."
Ye Kai suddenly became interested. This is the most suitable career for him. He has always been interested in photography after he studied photography. When he had time, he would also read the books and videos about photography.
