rebirth against the times

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Wei Sa arrived at the hotel where Bai Shuo and others lived on time and informed everyone that everything had been arranged. Cao An found that Wei Sa no longer wore student clothes today, but long clothes and long trousers. She was dressed very mature and rigorous, which was different.

smell.

Wei Sa also seemed to notice that Cao An was sizing her up, and explained with a smile: "Shuanglong Temple is very strict, and people are very particular about their clothing. Those who are disheveled or indecent are not allowed to enter. Long clothes and long trousers are best. And there are other things.

The temple is very neat and clean. Every time you enter a temple, you must take off your shoes. Everyone must remember this."

After Wei Sa said this, everyone was prepared in advance. After everyone finished packing, they followed Wei Sa out of the hotel happily. I saw a Japanese brand car parked in front of the hotel, although it looked a bit old.

, but Bai Shuo doesn’t care about this.

"Is this the only car? There's no room for so many of us." Bai Shuo joked as he stepped forward to open the door.

Wei Sa quickly grabbed Bai Shuo and pointed to the hotel door: "Boss Bai, that's our car."

Everyone looked around and saw three tricycle-type vehicles of different sizes parked there, with roofs added and a "taxi" sign on the front of the vehicles.

"Weisa, this...is this what you call a tutu?" Cao An asked in shock.

Wei Sa nodded: "Shuanglong Temple is on Mount Suthep. It's only ten minutes away from here. Taking this kind of car is the most convenient."

Everyone looked at each other, and Bai Shuo took the lead in getting into a smaller one, leaving the other two larger ones to the others.

"Why are you still hanging around? When you go to a place, you have to feel the characteristics of the place, right?"

Under Bai Shuo's greeting, everyone got on the car one after another. Since Bai Shuo's car was smaller, only Wei Sa accompanied Bai Shuo and took the lead in the front, while the rest of the people took the two cars behind.

Along the way, Bai Shuo enjoyed the city scenery in a tuk-tuk. It was really a unique experience. However, when he was about to go up the mountain, the road began to become a little bumpy. Wei Sa said that Bai Shuo should take a larger one, which should be fine.

A little calmer, Bai Shuo smiled and said it didn't matter, he would get used to it after shaking.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the vehicle suddenly ran over a pothole. Bai Shuo, who was not prepared in time, was almost thrown out. In panic, Bai Shuo grabbed the iron railing on the side of the car with one hand, and the other hand unexpectedly

He fiercely hugged Wei Sa into his arms. When he calmed down, Wei Sa's face was flushed and he was too shy to look at Bai Shuo.

"Haha, the road conditions are not very good." Bai Shuo let go of Wei Sa and said awkwardly.

Wei Sa blamed herself: "Did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have found such a car."

"No, actually it feels pretty good." Bai Shuo explained hurriedly, but suddenly found that Wei Sa's face was even redder.

Shuanglong Temple is a famous Buddhist summer resort. It is famous for its shining golden light. It is also a temple chosen by white elephants and built by the royal family. It is full of legend. Legend has it that a Ceylon monk brought several Buddha relics to Siam, and the king

In order to allow his people to worship the Buddha's relics, he decided to place the relics on the white elephant, and the white elephant would choose a blessed place where a temple could be built to worship the relics. The white elephant wandered around at will, all the way to the current Mount Suthep, where

The pagoda we see now stopped, and then the white elephant died. So people built a stupa here, and because there were two golden dragons guarding the mountain road on both sides, it was called "Shuanglong Temple". Later, the king donated 240

Many kilograms of gold wrapped the stupa into a golden pagoda. Then all the buildings in the entire temple were built into a splendid and magnificent place, and Shuanglong Temple became a "golden temple".

Bai Shuo discovered that the structure of Shuanglong Temple was not similar to the Chinese style with the main gate, left and right bell and drum towers, and the main hall, but a complex of buildings with the stupa as the center. And almost all the buildings were

It looks resplendent, as if wrapped in gold, and looks extremely sacred under the sunlight.

Entering the temple, the first thing everyone saw was a flower tree, overwhelmingly brilliant. Moving on to the "Buddha's Birthday Tree", which is said to be the birthplace of the Buddha, appeared in front of everyone. It is said that the Buddha Sakyamuni was born under it.

My mother gave birth to the Buddha under a Buddha's birthday tree. The Buddha was able to walk as soon as he was born, taking seven steps at a time and walking like a lotus. Trees with lush leaves and flowers are common, but the flowers on this tree are very strange.

There are only leaves but no flowers on the tree, but holy and beautiful flowers bloom on the hanging vines under the tree, and the flowers bloom all year round.

There is another strange tree in the temple, which is the Bodhi tree, one of the five trees in Siam. It is said to be hundreds of years old.

Wei Sa first led everyone to the observation deck, where they could overlook the whole city and have a panoramic view of the entire Chiang Mai. Looking at the quiet and peaceful city in front of him, Bai Shuo suddenly felt the song "Small Town Story" by Teresa Teng.

It was as if I was singing this song, and for a moment I seemed to understand why Teresa Teng had a different feeling for this place.

Then, Wei Sa led everyone all the way to the stupa. This is the place where the Buddha's relics are enshrined, and it is the most sacred place in the entire Shuanglong Temple. Cao An immediately put his hands together and faced the stupa to pay homage. Wei Sa told

This is not the case here for Cao An. He needs to circle around the stupa three times with his hands clasped to pray. There happened to be a believer praying on the side, and Cao An followed suit after observing.

After praying, everyone slowly arrived at the main hall of Shuanglong Temple. When they were still some distance away from the main hall, they were blocked by monks. Only then did they realize that the entire hall was tightly guarded. It seemed that there was something important inside.

The person might be doing something important. When I asked, I was told that the eminent monk was receiving distinguished guests inside, and the hall was temporarily closed to visitors.

Wei Sa was very surprised that this was something unheard of in Shuanglong Temple. He imagined that unless the Siamese royal family came, how could other people receive such courtesy. But every move of the Siamese royal family attracted public attention, how could this happen suddenly?

.

"It may not necessarily be the king himself, but maybe a prince or princess." Cao An joked.

Visa shook her head: "The old king only has a prince and a princess. Now one is in Europe and the other is attending a political event somewhere. There is no reason to come here."

"Forget it, let's go shopping elsewhere." Bai Shuo seemed to be planning to give up visiting here.

Wei Sa hurriedly explained: "This main hall is also a very important place in Shuanglong Temple. We come here, so it would be a pity not to go and see it."

At this moment, twenty or thirty people emerged from both sides of the hall, wearing black suits and running toward the road in front of the hall.

A group of people arrived in front of Bai Shuo and others, and immediately pushed everyone to the side of the road fiercely. If Bai Shuo and Zhu Sui'an hadn't stabilized everyone in time and responded to the dragon, Niu Er's temperament would have immediately caused friction.

After the entire road was cleared, a dozen monks wearing very light golden Zen clothes emerged from the hall, and they were lined up on both sides of the hall door. Looking at this posture, it goes without saying that a big shot is about to leave.

Come out of the palace.

Wei Sa asked strangely: "Who is so brave?"

Before he finished speaking, the man in a black suit standing in front of him glared fiercely at Wei Sa, and while warning her in Siamese not to talk anymore, he pressed his body towards Wei Sa.

Bai Shuo pulled Wei Sa back slightly and blocked Wei Sa with half of his body. Zhu Sui'an, Ying Long and others also stared at him angrily at the same time. Only then did the man restrain himself.

At this time, a group of people poured out of the hall again, led by a thin monk. Although he was dressed very plainly, his demeanor revealed a detached and refined temperament and a demeanor of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He was obviously

There is an eminent monk. Next to the monk is a tall, blond, blue-eyed Westerner. This man is wearing a dark-colored stand-up collared tuxedo with gold patterns embroidered on it. Such clothing usually looks a bit exaggerated, but

The clothes he wore felt very decent, as if they were all natural. This man looked very young, probably less than 30 years old, but he exuded a noble and proud aura, and the aura he exuded seemed to be more than

The enlightened monks around me are even stronger.

Behind the two men were four monks in colorful robes, and behind them were a dozen followers in white suits with a bright red mark on their chests.

When the two of them walked past Bai Shuo and others, the young man suddenly turned his head and looked over inadvertently. The moment their eyes met, Bai Shuo felt as if his heart trembled, and an inexplicable sense of tension arose.

The young man's pace did not slow down even a little, he just smiled and nodded to everyone before leaving under the escort of his entourage.

"This foreigner is so handsome, he feels very polite, and he really looks like a medieval European aristocrat. Is he some foreign star?" When the ban was lifted again, Cao An was the first to sigh.

"Is it polite? Don't be fooled by appearances." Zhu Suian said lightly.

"Um...what's wrong?" Bai Shuo knew that Zhu Sui'an must have noticed something.

Zhu Sui'an continued: "This group of people just now had a lot of murderous intent. I'm afraid they are not a good person."

Bai Shuo nodded: "The more gentle a person looks, the more ruthless they are on the inside. Wei Sa, do you know who those people were just now?"

Wei Sa hesitated for a moment and said: "The monk in front should be the leader of the northern diocese, and will most likely be the next Monk King of Siam. Because of his profound Buddhist teachings, it is said that he has reached the realm of true dragon protection.

, known as Long Zun. As for the other person, I don’t know.”

Bai Shuo sighed: "Judging from the attitudes of the two of them just now, the Dragon Lord seems to have more respect for the young man. I'm afraid that man is not simple, he is also a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"Haha, then we made a profit today. When we came to Shuanglong Temple, we also met two dragons among men. It was a worthwhile trip." Cao Anle said.

What Bai Shuo didn't expect was that he would have a lot of interactions with this person in the future, but it was a different situation by then.
