Chapter 202: April 8th, Munihine 1

Those who practice Taoism should understand the mind of nature, cultivate a pure mind, maintain a normal mind, maintain a good mind, possess the heart of heaven, and complete the heart of all things...

It was cold and the plan to develop Wolong Mountain was still not started due to the season.

At nineteen feet, there was nothing to do, so I simply handed the sea snake over to the practice of Queen Mother of the West and others, and returned to my elder brother Zhang Chenglin in Lao Ya Town to accompany my parents.

A few days later, my second brother Zhang Hua also rushed back from Gwangju. Moreover, there was a tall girl with a very tall figure who was very delicate, as if she was a newly graduated college student named Liang Wenhui.

Liang Wenhui is a girl who immediately gives people a favor at first glance, revealing her gentle and virtuous temperament everywhere.

My mother has been so happy these days. She grabbed my second brother's girlfriend Liang Wenhui and said it all the time. What my sister-in-law admired is that Liang Wenhui did not show impatientness in the face of my mother's home-style nagging.

However, most of the time, Liang Wenhui took her second brother to listen to my mother's nagging.

My elder brother and sister-in-law are busy every day, and they start preparing for the upcoming trip and arrange some things for the timber factory. My father finds some elderly people every day, either playing chess, cards or basking in the sun.

One day at dusk, my father came back from outside and said to me: "I heard that the lamb was caught some time ago."

I was stunned! After hearing this, I was a little stunned. Lamb? That grandson of Grandma Yang, my only good friend when I was a child? Didn’t he do business outside? What was he arrested?

I asked my father, "Dad, do you know what happened to him? When did it happen?"

My father smoked a cigarette, frowned, and said, "I heard that he was caught in the New Year before. It seemed that he was touching a can and was reported by someone."

Touching the jar is our dialect, which means tomb robbing. After knowing this, in the next few days, I went to the county town to inquire about the situation in detail, but learned that the father of Lamb Zi didn't know how to make a relationship, so he had already settled the matter of Lamb Zi long ago.

I even learned from the villagers who moved to the county town in the past nineteen feet of the world that the Yang family seemed to have contacted some very rich relatives, and this time the matter of lambs was mainly settled by his relatives.

The Yang family’s particularly rich relatives? I vaguely guessed that these relatives of the Yang family should be descendants of the descendants of the children who fled abroad with Ma Bu in the 1950s.

The descendants of the Yang family of the Nine Four-Zhou King of Hell? Interesting! So, did the descendants of the Yang family of the Nine Four-Zhou appear, and did the Yang family also descendants of the Liu family appear?

No matter what, since Lamb is fine, I am too lazy to find out where the rich relatives of the Yang family are now.

...

A few days later, after our family had prepared almost the same, they all set off and took a bus to the third uncle's house in the provincial capital.

For this trip, Uncle San bought a medium-sized bus with extremely luxurious interiors, and hired two full-time drivers and found a senior tour guide. Uncle San even found a medical staff member. Under my opinion, Uncle San thought about it and canceled the arrangements for the entire medical staff.

The senior tour guide was also named Zhang, and was a very capable lady in her thirties. Uncle San said that she knew almost many places in China.

After our discussion, we finally decided that the first stop of this trip was Dunhuang City, Gansu Province.

This decision was first proposed by my mother. Because I have an uncle who works at the Dunhuang Oil Bureau not far from Dunhuang City. Because of his busy work and other reasons, my mother hasn't seen her younger brother for several years. This time, I happened to go to Dunhuang City for a trip and take a look at my uncle's family.

Also, a week later, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the famous Dunhuang ‘April Eight Temple Fair’ in the northwest.

I heard from tour guide Zhang that on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, residents of several western provinces in China, especially Buddhist believers, gathered in groups in Mogao Grottoes, Sanwei Mountain, and Leiyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and worship ancestors in order to commemorate Shi Khamuni Nihzh.

The first stop of the trip was decided. After the festival, everyone made a crazy purchase. On April 1st, our group had breakfast and then got into the bus and started the trip.

From the provincial capital of Qingzhou to Dunhuang City in northern Gansu Province, the route we chose was to first go west to Golmud, the central city of Qingzhou, then head north, cross Alkin Mountain and enter Gansu Province and go directly to Dunhuang City.

In Qingzhou in the early fourth month of the lunar calendar, most of the mountains are covered with snow. Outside the car, the continuous snow peaks tower into the clear sky, stretching for dozens of miles, like a seat, making crystal peaks, and all kinds of things. My elder brother, sister-in-law, second brother and his girlfriend kept murdering tape. The car was filled with laughter and awesomeness. Even my parents and third uncle and aunt looked yearning and sighing.

A few hours later, when our group passed by Qingsheng Lake, the terrain that came down began to flatten. Gradually, the vast snow-capped mountains were gone, and the sight was filled with a wasteland full of vicissitudes and snow, and frozen lakes and streams scattered across both sides.

When the sun sets in the west for about ten hours, we arrived in Golmud, Qing Province. After resting for a night, we continued northward the next day. After a few hours, when we passed by Dabson Lake, the outside of the car was covered in white.

The senior tour guide, Ms. Zhang, told us that this area is full of natural salt land, and this section of the road also has an nickname called the "Wanzhang Salt Bridge" on the plateau. It is made up of a natural salt bridge of about 20 meters. It is a natural salt bridge of two kilometers long, which can reach ten thousand feet in accordance with the market system, so people call it "Wanzhang Salt Bridge".

Tsk tsk, the salt cover on the lake forms a natural salt bridge. The wonder of nature is really amazing! Looking around, the road on the front bridge is smooth and flat. Under the sunlight, the white lake is shining brightly and brightly, and the beauty of the scenery is unparalleled in the world.

When approaching the southern part of Alkin Mountain, you can even occasionally see some wild donkeys, bison, argas, Tibetan antelope, etc. on the road. There are more pedestrians and vehicles rushing to the April 8th Temple Fair.

Along the way, everyone was in great interest, and the tour guide kept explaining the surrounding scenery and history and culture, while I quietly felt the heart of the vast earth. Along the way, countless mysterious desert wonders, the bizarre Gobi sea, the rich, magical and tempting earth seemed to tell me something in the dark. Occasionally, I found that my state of mind had undergone a wonderful change.

...Along the way, I even sensed that many monks were driving towards Dunhuang City. It seemed that most of them were from the Shi family. On April 8th, Shigamuni Nezh. I had a premonition that this Dunhuang City would definitely encounter interesting things.

This feeling became stronger as we traveled through Alkin Mountain and gradually approached Dunhuang City in Gansu Province, and the aura of monks became more and more intense.

This time I went out for a trip with my parents, I didn’t want to be too troublesome. If there were no exceptions, I wouldn’t think about any interaction with these monks. So, most of the time I spent chatting with everyone, and my mind was not on other things.

"Ah...! Where is that?"

"Wow, so beautiful!"

“…”

When the vehicle passed by the Nanhudian in Subei, the exclamation of my sister-in-law and the others came from the carriage.

Outside the window, a towering city tower gradually appeared on the endless desert beach, with a strong Western style, just like an ancient city of desert.

"That is the Dunhuang Ancient City Film and Television City, the largest film and television shooting base in western China." Ms. Zhang, the tour guide, took a sip of water and introduced to everyone: "We are now twenty-five kilometers away from Dunhuang City. The film and television shooting base in front was designed and built for 80 years to shoot a large-scale historical feature film "Dunhuang" based on the Song Dynasty "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and imitated the ancient city of Shazhou. The city was completely built according to the records of Dunhuang, an important northwest town in the Tang and Song dynasties. There are many Buddhist temples, pawn shops, cargo shops, wineries, residences, etc. The film and television drama "Fengshen Romance" was filmed there."

As soon as my elder brother and second brother heard the tour guide's introduction, they immediately started to make a fuss and said that they would take a rest here for a night and visit this completely antique film and television base.

But when we approached the film and television city, we were stopped by several uniformed people.

The tour guide Ms. Zhang got off the car immediately and negotiated, and ran to a few local people wandering around not far away for a while before returning to the car. She said with a strange look: "It's really bad luck. The film and television city is not open now."

"How could it be?" my second brother asked in surprise.
Chapter completed!
