Four articles have been published in front of us. The Golden Lantern Temple, with its secret location, majestic Buddhist temples and confusing legends, makes people feel mysterious and strange. Three visits to the Golden Lantern Temple-it is difficult to worship, so it is difficult to leave. Four visits to the Golden Lantern Temple-the peak season of summer vacation tourism, are all about "building bridges" and "building roads"? Five visits to the Golden Lantern Temple-I saw it right in front of me, but it was ruthlessly turned away. Thank you for your attention.

In the previous article, I wrote about my experience of visiting Deng Jin Temple five times. This time, I got on the 107 National Highway via Puhe Expressway, took the 342 Provincial Highway in Gaocun Town, and basically went west to Wulong Town. Turn northwest from Wulong Town to Hejian Town in Linzhou, and turn west to Badacun Village.

Badacun is only 20 kilometers away from Deng Jin Temple, but this road will never work. At the intersection of Badacun, several large cement piers were blocked by the construction team in Shanxi and could not pass. Asked a lot of people, it was pointed out that there is a dirt road between mountains in the west of the village.

The SUV may be able to cross the road, but it is actually a field outside the village head. The grass is endless, the road is muddy, and it slips on the slope several times. The car behind us, which was going to follow us to garden village, immediately turned around and returned. And our adventure succeeded, out of the wild, set foot on the cement road outside the village.

Bypassing the eight villages, in fact, the Huahu Line has been completed except for a few sections, leaving only the last section of asphalt road, but it is still impassable, so many vehicles walking on this road have been stopped, and we used a little skill to pass.

This road is breathtaking, mainly in one word-near, 10 kilometers to Lulong Scenic Area and 20 kilometers to Deng Jin Temple. Although the repaired road section is extremely steep, it is wide and flat, and there are no cars and people on the road. It is inevitable to speed up. After a few sharp turns, the wife on the co-pilot will get dizzy. She doesn't know that I tampered with this car.

Haval H6COUPE suspension is very soft, but it is actually too soft. Its advantages are high shock absorption efficiency, comfortable passengers when crossing bad roads, and more obvious disadvantages. When the driver turns a corner, he will exert a little force, and the roll will be serious, and the vehicle will call the police immediately, which is a great danger of rollover. This is fatal for a driver like me who runs mountain roads all day. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen suspension support and reduce roll. It's actually quite simple. Don't listen to the bravado of online and merchants. It is the keyboard man who won't let you install the top bar and has no actual driving experience. It was the merchant who asked you to install the whole roof in order to sell more money. Therefore, the correct opinion is that as long as the curb weight of the car is above 1.2 tons and the SUV is above 1.7 tons, it means that the chassis is already solid, and there is no need to buy a whole vehicle support frame (Hong Kong people call this thing the top bar) for reinforcement.

Just buy the front suspension bracket (ejector pin) for reinforcement, and the effect is wonderful. I bought the front suspension bracket of 120 from the internet, opened the hood, pondered for 20 minutes, and figured out the installation method. Then it took another 20 minutes to complete the installation. When driving uphill, it is qualitative change, just like changing a car, and the cornering speed has increased by more than 65438. Brothers who love to run mountain roads might as well try it themselves, and they will certainly gain a lot.

10 years ago, when Lv Long was just being developed, I visited the Golden Temple for the second time. At that time, the "mountain gate" was being built, and the pear terrace and the bluestone steps had been repaired. 10 in recent years, developers have invested millions, but they have not received any return. Every day, there are many tourists who don't hire staff, and the scenic spot is as cold as an alien planet. Throughout the day, except for a few vans pulling the old man to the Golden Lantern Temple to burn incense, my wife and I, even the beautiful daughter-in-law of "Big Brother Farmer", called it "a feeling of mine".

The altitude of Lulongshan has exceeded 2000 meters (some people say it is 1.700 meters), but I have measured that it is still 1.600 meters in Apricot Town, which is much lower than the altitude. The altitude of Lvlongshan cannot be only 65,438+000 meters higher. High altitude is not only extremely cool in summer, but also the vegetation is very different from low altitude. There is no broad-leaved forest here, but coniferous pine trees all over the mountain. This kind of pine tree generally grows on mountains above 1800 meters.

Lv Lin Scenic Area has all kinds of scenery except water shortage.

Qishan-the cliff stands tall and Qifeng rises;

Strange stones-all kinds of hieroglyphs abound;

Grassland-endless, beautiful scenery, birds and flowers.

Taihang Mountain is famous for its cliffs, especially Lvlongshan Mountain. Standing on the railing of the precipice to visit, I suddenly felt dizzy and frightened, knives and axes were hacked on the cliff, the mountain stream was bottomless and black holes were densely covered.

The Qishan Xiufeng in Zhangjiajie is the most famous in Jin Bianxi, because there are male "golden whips" on both sides of the mountain stream. In Longli Mountain, although there is no wonder of the golden whip, there are also many golden whips for men. Compared with the golden whip in Zhangjiajie, the golden whip here is more towering, more upright and more upright, and it feels invincible at first glance. After all, they are "men" in the north.

There are many strange stones in Longling Mountain, even Huangshan Mountain, which is famous for its strange stones, is incomparable. There are so many strange stones that they can be found everywhere.

Most of them appear in the form of crocodiles, toads, turtles and faucets, and some even appear in groups, which are lifelike.

There are also some very fashionable hieroglyphics such as Armored Chariots and Transformers, as well as The Sphinx, The Gate of Xuanzang, The Fearless Buddha's Palm, The Lotus Throne and The Eagles Waiting to Fly (the above stone names are original by myself, and the copyright claim is reserved, otherwise the piracy responsibility shall be investigated).

More stones are actually shapeless, but they are vivid "round stones". Every time I see such a strange stone, Brother Nong and I will sigh, how nice it is to put it in the yard! Unfortunately, I can't move it, and I can't move it. It is a part of this thousand-mile Taihang, where the aura of Taihang heaven and earth lies. If you take it home, it becomes a kind of property. If it stays in its original place and is watched by everyone, then it plays alone and everyone plays.

The beauty of alpine grassland in Lv Long is far superior to other places. Flowers and grasses are everywhere, and bees fly and butterflies love branches. Blue thorn heads, which are very rare in mainland China, are everywhere. It is harsh on the environment and cannot be polluted at all. It is the honey source for bees to brew high-grade honey. Previously, this plant only grew in Tianshan and Russia, but it should be unprecedented to find a large area of blue thorn head in Taihang Mountain.

This is my first discovery and should go down in history. It shows that the natural environment of Taihang Mountain has been greatly improved and air pollution has been basically eliminated.

Golden Temple, a mysterious and sacred place that has rejected me many times, can't refuse me again this time!

Before I arrived at the Golden Lantern Temple, I saw the color steel house and masonry materials first, but I felt bitter in my heart. Things didn't work out, the road was broken, and obstacles couldn't stop the old lady. Now I'm in front of the Golden Lantern Temple, but I met a construction in the temple. Do you really want to keep people away from the old lady to pay homage?

When I came to the gate of the temple, a stout young man wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and walking sideways happened to walk to the gate, talking like a drunken fanatic: "Construction inside, no entry!" I gasped in horror. It's over! I'm going to fail again this time! When asked about migrant workers, it turns out that this domineering young man is just a small leader under a small contractor, but his tone is really like a big official of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It's getting late, and it doesn't make much sense to go in again, so I left the Golden Lantern Temple and went to Yuxiaguan Village to find accommodation. I ran back and forth. Yuxiaguan is such a good summer resort that there is not even a farmhouse. Yuxiaguan Village 10 years ago was rather shabby, and there was no decent new house, but there was a small restaurant that could be scattered to the farmhouse for one night. Now, Yuxiaguan Village is clean and beautiful. All the rivers have hardened, and stone fences have been built on both sides, just like the European towns we saw in pictures or on TV, but there are no small restaurants in the past, let alone farmers' accommodation.

The whole town is dead and silent, with no smell of chickens and dogs barking, and there is almost no place for human beings to live. The sun is setting, it's getting late, the cold is coming as promised, and it's still not warm to put on your coat. Yuxia mountain pass has changed, and it has become too much. Except for the poetic village name and the cold temperature even in midsummer, everything else is beyond recognition!

We can only continue to apricot town, which is also much more beautiful. The houses along the street are all newly built and the road has just been repaired. What remains unchanged is that there are still no tourist reception conditions here, but the conditions are very poor. There is no bathroom on the second floor, and a simple water pipe pool is the bathroom on the second floor of the whole hotel, but the passengers secretly solved the water pressure here, and the smell of Sao filled the whole corridor. Even so, tourists are still overwhelmed. After a little hesitation, the room was taken away by others. I didn't expect to meet a car from Puyang.

There is also the only hotel in the town, but the conditions are even worse. I have to go downstairs to the public toilet across the street to solve the problem. Although the altitude of Xing Town is much lower than that of Yuxiaguan, and the temperature has risen slightly, it is still chilly at night. It's incredible to get up in the middle of the night and cross the road to pee. It is better to go to that coquettish hotel than to cross the street to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. There are cyclists and motorcycles here. It seems that there is really no shortage of tourism resources and tourists here. What is lacking is the business sense and pioneering spirit of people here. I think it is necessary to open a 2-3 star hotel that can accommodate 100 people. It is more ideal to open a hotel at Xiashankou, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, and summer tourism is a fairyland.

I returned to Deng Jin Temple early the next morning and wasted more than 60 kilometers of mountain roads. If there is a hotel in Yu Xia, even if it is a little expensive, I will go, so I will run 60 kilometers of mountain roads. Fortunately, mountain roads are better than highways. Nobody has a car except us. The quality of the road is very high, winding around the Lulongshan like satin, and it took less than half an hour to reach the Golden Lantern Temple.

There is Tallinn outside the gate of Deng Jin Temple, which is the burial place of the ashes of deceased monks. A man of God is leading several middle-aged women to "practice", dancing and muttering to themselves. The woman also sat in Tallinn crying with Han Dashen, and the scene was very funny.

The tallest tower in Tallinn is the pagoda of a master who died 49 years later. I don't know if this monk Dade has shown his spirit. A vibrant Chu peach tree actually grew in his pagoda, and it was right in the middle of the pagoda near the back wall. It's dark as night, and you can't see it without lights, but it actually grows up in the green.

You know, there is no sunshine all year round and there is no rain all year round. There are no two essential elements for plant growth, but it grows here. Isn't that weird?

On the side of the road, I also saw three words engraved on a boulder, Fairy Cave. The words in the middle are like the deformation of the ear word, or the deformation of the four words. If you know what it is, please tell me. Thank you.

Today, the real "owner" of the Golden Lantern Temple has come. This is a cultural relics bureau cadre as handsome as a schoolmaster and as beautiful as an actor. He is here to supervise the work of the Golden Lantern Temple (I really can't bear to be afraid of infringing on the right to portrait of beautiful women and mosaic them). The little contractor immediately lost his temper, and yesterday's overbearing prestige was gone, hiding in the corner and fiddling with his mobile phone.

This beautiful cultural relics bureau cadre not only does not interfere with tourists' visits, but also wants to communicate with knowledgeable people, such as "educated" old ladies. Of course, it does not rule out that the old lady's "gentle, charming and elegant" temperament makes the beauty fall.

Beauty not only didn't stop the old man from taking pictures, but also helped to find the best shooting place. In order to let me take pictures, she even almost took off the fence parked at the entrance of the amphibious temple. But the weak woman didn't pull it twice, and I didn't move when I went up to help, so I gave up. I took the opportunity to show off my knowledge of ancient buildings, grottoes and sculptures, which made beautiful civil servants look a little bit overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I didn't leave any contact information. If I come to Golden Lantern for the seventh time and meet a contractor with a tough face, I won't let you see it, so I won't let you shoot it. At least the person in charge will bend the rules. What a pity!

Looking at the probe through the fence is really disappointing. The original clear water disappeared and was replaced by a pool 10 cm of water covered with sticky green algae and mosquito larvae. I can't believe it. It is the same place as the amphibious temple I saw last time. Has this unique grotto in China just died out? In recent years, especially in the last two years, the water resources in Taihang Mountain have been drastically reduced. Garden village Mountain Stream, which roared soup the year before, has been completely cut off this year; The mountain stream of Hebi Liang Qing Temple used to be the same torrent, which has been cut off for many years; The water level of Sanjiaokou Reservoir in Hebi has been at the lowest level, and not a drop of water has been transported downstream for several years. Even the famous Chiye River in Lingchuan has turned into a stone beach ditch, and not even a drop of water has been seen. What's going on here?

I don't know when, Han Shen came to the temple to practice. He saw that I had a good talk with that beautiful cadre, and no one in the temple paid attention to him, and finally he couldn't stand the loneliness. He came up to us and said, have you seen some words in the grottoes? Do you know them?

So he skillfully drew a figure without words and pictures. He said there were four words in the temple, and he only remembered them once. I told this beautiful young lady that I didn't see it. Shen Han said proudly, of course you can't. The implication is that only people with divine power can see it.

I wanted to avoid my wife and talk to this beautiful young woman alone, so I hurried to the door of the cave to find it. Of course, I didn't find anything. This result was expected as early as possible, and both I and the civil servant of that beautiful young woman knew it. ...

Let's get to the point. According to the glamorous young woman, this is the biggest repair operation of the Golden Temple funded by the government, mainly for cleaning, reinforcement and maintenance. It is almost futile to expect to finish before eleven. I can only take a cursory look and pat the relief outside the grottoes, and have a general understanding of the Golden Temple. For details, I need to enter the Golden Palace seven times. ...
