I took a car to Fenghuáng County. As Mr. Huang said, I arrived in Tongren, Guizhou in more than two hours.
Zhang Yiming calculated the time and there was no problem rushing to the foot of Fanjing Mountain that day, but it was a bit too late to start climbing the mountain that day. Why not live at the foot of the mountain tonight and start climbing the mountain early tomorrow morning.
With such a plan, there was plenty of time. Zhang Yiming was not in a hurry. He took a break in Tongren, ate Chinese food, and then took a car. He arrived at the foot of Fanjing Mountain at around 4 pm.
There are many small hotels nearby, and Zhang Yiming chose a pretty good one to stay in.
This time is between New Year's Day and Spring Festival, there are not many tourists, and hotels are very cheap.
The next morning, Zhang Yiming was woken up by the crowing of roosters. After living in Mr. Huang's house for so long, he didn't hear the crowing of roosters. This sound that should have been ordinary but had been missing for a long time made Zhang Yiming feel refreshed.
Zhang Yiming turned over and got out of bed, finished washing up easily and happily, and rushed to the gate of Fanjing Mountain.
Fanjing Mountain has nearly 8,000 stone steps, which leads directly to the golden top. All those who come to travel are proud of conquering these eight thousand steps.
However, it is not necessary to climb the steps as soon as you enter the mountain gate. There is still about 10 kilometers of road from the mountain gate to the steps. This is a wide asphalt road with cars to take advantage of.
Zhang Yiming walked forward for a short while and found that the scenery along the road was so beautiful that it was unbearable to miss it. Zhang Yiming was very excited and decided not to take the bus and walked all the way to the steps of Fanjing Mountain.
Along the way, there were cars stopping and asking Zhang Yiming if he was getting on. Zhang Yiming smiled and shook his head.
Come up, you are young enough, and you will have to climb 8,000 steps later. If you keep going like this, you will lose the energy later.Tickets are not expensive.
There is a good reminder from the ticket conductor.
Zhang Yiming still shook his head. He was confident that he could climb the 8,000 stone steps again even if he walked to the steps.
Zhang Yiming has always believed that travel should not be for a certain destination, but for the entire process.
There must be scenery worth enjoying in the process of leading to the destination.
Finally, a couple driving by themselves invited Zhang Yiming to get on the bus and took him to the steps, but Zhang Yiming politely declined.
The couple seemed to understand very well, smiled at Zhang Yiming and said: Then you can appreciate it slowly along the way, let's take a step first.

Zhang Yiming walked and looked at it. It took nearly three hours to reach the Yu'ao parking lot under the stone steps. From here, he was about to face the 8,000 steps that were said to be terrifying.
There are many porters gathered here, and their livelihood is to carry guests up the mountain with a slide rod.
As soon as Zhang Yiming arrived, a porter came up to ask him if he wanted to sit in a sedan chair. Zhang Yiming smiled and said: I came up just now. Do you think I can sit in a sedan chair?
Zhang Yiming felt that his meaning was very obvious. What I wanted was to fully experience the joy of climbing a mountain. If I were sitting in a sedan chair, what else would it mean?
Who knew that the porter’s idea was completely different from Zhang Yiming. It was because you had to ride a sedan chair because you walked up. After walking 20 miles, aren’t you still tired?
Zhang Yiming was stunned and found that people's perspectives on problems were really different, and everyone started from their own perspectives.
It seems that many misunderstandings arise between people, which has a lot to do with this kind of thinking habit that starts from one's own perspective.
Communication is particularly important in this case.
So Zhang Yiming smiled and explained his thoughts to the porter, and then said: I still want to lift you and experience the feeling of the sedan chair bearer.
The sedan chairman smiled silly, "Boss, you are telling a joke, why do you want to be a sedan chairman?"Besides, you can't lift it.
Otherwise, we will make a bet and I will carry you up. If you lift it up, you will pay me the slider fee.I can't carry it up and I'll pay you.
The sedan chair owner still smiled honestly and said: Forget it.I still have to do business.
The sedan chairman walked away.In the eyes of the sedan chair bearer, only boring rich people like Zhang Yiming are interested in this boring bet.
Zhang Yiming had Chinese food here and had a short rest, then he began to climb up the mountain.
At this time, some of the techniques Zhang Yiming slowly figured out in the hiking room with Mr. Long a few days ago came in handy.
In short, you must not be impatient when climbing a mountain. Keep your pace and breathing as fast as possible. You must control it when you start to be full of energy, and then try to persist when your physical strength drops.
When doing anything well, basic skills are one aspect, and skills are also indispensable.
Without the necessary skills, even if you play football with the physical strength of a marathon athlete, you may still be unable to run at halftime.
The previous porters followed Zhang Yiming after he started climbing the mountain. In their expectation, people who are gentle and have walked 20 miles to get here will definitely have to take a sedan chair if they are less than 1,000 levels.
The two porters were like two confident predators, following patiently behind a dying little sheep, waiting leisurely for the prey to fall down by itself.
Zhang Yiming knew the porter's idea at a glance. He didn't say it out loud, climbing the mountain slowly, and chatting with the porter without saying a word. He happened to take the opportunity to ask the location of the temple he was going to.
3 After Zhang Yiming said the name of the temple, the porter said a little strangely: Are you going there?It was a small temple, relatively remote, in a place with many mountains and was not at the top of the mountain.
Zhang Yiming smiled and said: When I hear people talk about this temple, ask casually.
The porter then explained the route to Zhang Yiming in detail.
The porter's patience made Zhang Yiming have a great favor for them. These people are really simple. They could at least take the opportunity to take over business from Zhang Yiming again, but they did not do so.
In the hearts of these simple porters, helping others is different from doing business, and the former cannot be regarded as a prerequisite for the latter.
In fact, Mr. Huang also told Zhang Yiming a rough idea about this route. It was the same as the porter said now. Zhang Yiming thought it seemed that it was right.
The 000th level arrived unknowingly. The two porters were surprised to find that Zhang Yiming had no reaction and did not look weak at all. Their followers couldn't help but hesitate.
If Zhang Yiming is not tired after following this, then he wouldn't go down the mountain to wait for another business, so don't spend a day with Zhang Yiming.
Before he knew it, he was about 1,000 again. The porter finally realized that he was following the wrong person today. It seems that Zhang Yiming's business must be out of business.
The porter laughed unconsciously and said to Zhang Yiming: Boss, I can't tell that your physical strength is quite good.
Yeah?Is my physical strength good?
Zhang Yiming asked deliberately with a smile.
We have experience with people like this. Many people even take a bus to the foot of the steps, but they don’t walk the 20 miles ahead, and they can’t move even after reaching here. In the end, we must have to carry it.
Zhang Yiming laughed and was very happy. He received no praise from honest people. Even a trivial matter was very pleasant, at least much more refreshing than that hypocritical flattery.
Boss, you can climb slowly by yourself, we have to go on.
The porter admitted that he had defeated him and decided not to waste time with Zhang Yiming.
Zhang Yiming stopped and looked at the porter.
He knew that it was not easy for the porters to wait for a business, especially in such off-season, but he really didn't want someone to carry it up the mountain. He could climb it by himself, and he was willing to climb it by himself.
After climbing the mountain with Mr. Long for a while, Zhang Yiming also realized the benefits of climbing. Moreover, you can also see some small birds and beasts that pop up from time to time in the forest along the way, so how comfortable it is.
The porter also looked at Zhang Yiming expectantly, thinking that things had a turnaround.
Zhang Yiming finally took out 100 yuan to them and said: Thank you for your hard work, chatting with me, and also pointed me to the way to that temple.I really don’t need you to carry it up. This little money is the hard work you have to accompany me.
The porter was surprised and happy at first sight, but they were a little hesitant.
In this off-season, they could only charge about 200 yuan to carry someone to the top. Now they have easily walked 1/4 of Zhang Yiming, and they have actually cost 100 yuan.
The porter wants to take the money, but he is embarrassed.
It doesn't matter, take it.
Zhang Yiming saw their thoughts and advised: I have no other meaning, I really thank you for giving me the way.
The porter then made up his mind to take the money, and once again carefully explained the way to walk the temple. In the end, he was afraid that Zhang Yiming would not remember it, so he couldn't help but say: Boss, why don't I take you there? That temple is not on the top of the mountain and it won't take much time. You have given us 100 yuan.
Zhang Yiming was a little moved by the porter's simplicity. After they suffered this 100 yuan, they always wanted to do something to be worthy of the money.
Compared with some corrupt officials, they don’t have money and don’t do anything they should do. They are even more scumbag-like, and they don’t necessarily need to do things if they get money, so they should be killed.
No.
Zhang Yiming smiled and said: I can find it, you should hurry up and wait for a new business.
Seeing that Zhang Yiming insisted on not using it, the two porters thanked him again and again and went down the mountain.
4 As the porters said, if you see a fork on the road about halfway from the top of the mountain, you will see a fork on the road that will turn left. This must be the fork on the road that leads to Zhang Yiming's destination.
Zhang Yiming walked on this small fork, and the road was no longer towards the top of the mountain, but became a circling along the mountain, with a small upward approach. Soon, he finally arrived at a secluded temple.
This place is already secluded, and with the current off-season of tourism, when Zhang Yiming arrived, there was no tourist around the temple, only a female lay Buddhist standing at the entrance of the temple, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing Zhang Yiming, a hint of relaxation appeared on the female layman's quiet face.
After Zhang Yiming approached, he was about to ask, but the female lay Buddhist spoke first: Sir, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you since the morning.
Zhang Yiming was shocked and stood there in a daze.Wait for me, have you made a mistake?
After a while, Zhang Yiming smiled apologetically and said: Master, you may have made a mistake. I am not the one you are waiting for.
This time, the female lay Buddhist was stunned and stared at Zhang Yiming for a few seconds. That's right.Didn’t you come to find Master Lianxing?
Zhang Yiming was shocked again. Yes, the person Mr. Huang asked him to come to find was Lianxing, but how could this female lay Buddhist know?
The times are progressing and technology is developing. The monks in Shaolin Temple have used laptops. Maybe this female lay Buddhist has a mobile phone. Uncle Huang notified her in advance?
If this is true, Master Huang seems to have done this in an unnecessary way. Wouldn’t it be better to tell Zhang Yiming the phone number?
Zhang Yiming didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly bowed and said: I'm here to find Master Lianxing, are you?
But depending on age, this female lay Buddhist is probably only in her forties, not like Master Lianxing.
Sure enough, the female lay Buddhist shook her head and said: Master Lianxing turned out to be the host here, and I am her disciple.
oh.
Zhang Yiming said again: Master, please take me to see Master Lianxing.
Zhang Yiming thought that since he was the abbot, he should respectfully call him Master.
The female layman's face was calm, and shook her head again, saying the third and most surprising sentence...
Zhang Yiming calculated the time and there was no problem rushing to the foot of Fanjing Mountain that day, but it was a bit too late to start climbing the mountain that day. Why not live at the foot of the mountain tonight and start climbing the mountain early tomorrow morning.
