Chapter 1201 Gao Laozhuang After a Thousand Years
Most of the tourists are Chinese people, some of them travel in groups, and they walk into the hotel under the leadership of the tour guide, which is very noisy. There are also those who travel alone by car, and it is more convenient for them to live and travel. Of course, Xiao Fei also saw a lot of poor wandering girls. At this time, they were already dressed in fancy clothes, as if they were higher than others.
In addition to Chinese tourists, there are also quite a few foreigners, pointing around and admiring the beauty of Tibet and Border Province, and some bowing their heads enough to buy local specialties.
"I don't know where Gao Laozhuang is, and I don't even know where to drive." After entering the city, the fat man said helplessly amidst the traffic.
"You can just drive out of the city. Gao Laozhuang is definitely not in the county seat. MT County is so big, and you will be able to find it after searching all." Xiao Fei said.
"Okay then," said the fat man. After finishing speaking, he drove the car out of the county seat and onto the country road. The wide country road is not deserted, and tourist vehicles can be encountered at any time. People regard them as ordinary members of the tourist crowd, and they never think that they are here to find gods.
And the scenery on the road is also different from what Xiao Fei imagined. The outside of the county town is actually very big, several times larger than ordinary county towns. And there are beautiful scenery everywhere, and there are many steep mountains and rivers.
"Look at what's over there?" Suddenly, Da Banya pointed to the front and said.
Xiao Fei and Fatty turned their heads and saw that their car was driving among the high mountains. Under the cliff not far away, there is a vast river. The river is surging and flowing eastward with astonishing momentum.
"This big river should be the Yarlung Zangbo River, and that canyon is the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon." The fat man thought for a while and said, "It originates in the Himalayas and finally flows to the Yangtze River. It is one of the highest rivers in the world."
"I didn't expect that the place where Zhu Bajie became a spirit was near the Yarlung Zangbo River, and there was also a grand canyon with steep mountains!" Da Banya said.
"It's right that the mountains here are high and dangerous. Otherwise, how could Zhu Bajie find Yunzhan Cave and become a spirit?" Xiao Fei said, "Without mountains and rivers, there would be no cave."
"The Yarlung Zangbo River should be very famous, but there is no record in the book." Dabanya said again.
"Journey to the West was also written by Wu Chengen based on folklore and the footprints left by the Tang monk, master and apprentice. There are many omissions in it, which are inevitable." Xiao Fei said, "And they just passed by Gao Laozhuang, and did not cross the road. Crossing the Yarlung Zangbo River, so there is no record in the book."
"So that's the case." Da Mater said.
The car drove through the mountains, and it didn't take long to come to a small village. Since the village is very ordinary and has no beautiful scenery, there are no tourists to visit. But that's fine, no one will bother them. After finding Zhu Bajie, the world will not be shocked.
The car stopped at the gate of the village, and then the three got out of the car and walked. Suddenly, I saw a big iron sign at the entrance of the village, with the words Gaolaozhuang Village written on it.
"This is actually Gaolaozhuang! We are so lucky." The fat man said in shock, "It used to be called Gaolaozhuang, but now it has been reorganized by Huaxia Zhengfu, and it has become Gaolaozhuang village."
"More than a thousand years ago, monk Tang and his disciples came here and took away Zhu Bajie. Today, we are revisiting the old place." Xiao Fei said with emotion.
Looking into the village from the outside, I can see that the inside is all brick and tile buildings, and it is not poor and backward at all. The style of the manor is also quite different from the ancient buildings in the Tang Dynasty.
After sighing, the three walked into the village. It was found that there were very few people inside. Judging from the architectural style, they were all Han Chinese. However, the people inside are basically old and weak women and children, and no young and middle-aged people were seen. The young ones have all gone to the county town to work for others, either to open restaurants, or to work as tour guides for others.
Some even became big bosses. Only those worthless young people will stay in the village.
Although the tourism industry is developed here, Gao Laozhuang is really a bit remote. It is far away from the road, resulting in sparse population, so there is a classic saying in modern times, if you want to get rich, build roads first.
In the Tang Dynasty, Gaolaozhuang was a large manor with a prosperous population, but now it is in decline. It has to be said that the changes of the times have caused great changes here.
"Old man, is this Gao Laozhuang?" After entering the village, the fat man found an old man with his grandson at the gate, and asked politely.
"Yes, this is Gao Laozhuang. People in our village have been surnamed Gao for generations, and I am the old man too. The history of Gao Laozhuang can be traced back to the time of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty." Is Gao Laozhuang here? You must have lost your way, right? The tourists outside have all gone to visit the famous scenic spots. There are basically no people who come to this remote Gao Laozhuang, because there is no place for sightseeing here. "
"There are many famous scenic spots in our MT County." Probably because he seldom sees outsiders, the old man chattered endlessly, "For example, the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, Namjagbarwa Peak, Gala Snow Mountain, Yajiang Yunwu... ...There are still many people in the county town, visiting the Motuo Menlo Museum. You should visit these places. There are mountains around here, and our Gaolaozhuang is just a corner in the mountains."
"Old man, we didn't get lost, we came to Gao Lao Village on purpose." The fat man said.
"Come to our Gao Laozhuang specially? What can we visit in our Gao Laozhuang? They are all old men, old ladies, and children." Old Gao said strangely.
"I heard that during the period of Tang Taizong more than a thousand years ago, there was a Zhu Bajie here." The fat man said, "Zhu Bajie, isn't it famous enough?"
"Hehe..." The old man laughed, "Zhu Bajie? Those are all mythical characters. My old man doesn't believe in God, how many of you young people actually believe in this?"
"Are you an atheist?" Xiao Fei asked strangely. He himself is a Da Luo Jinxian cultivation base, and now someone actually says that he doesn't believe in God in front of him.
"Of course I don't believe it anymore." Old man Gao said: "I think back then, I also went to junior high school and knew what science is. Besides, there are so many believers in God and believers nearby, but no one has seen it with their own eyes. There is no proof that God exists."
It seems that he is very confident in his 'science' and firmly believes that there is no god. It is okay to dare to deny the existence of God after only finishing junior high school. Newton's scientific level was hundreds of times higher than his. Newton believed in God, but he didn't. It's true that the full bottle is silent, and the half bottle is rattling...
People in the world think they understand the world after a few days of knowledge, but they don't realize that this is showing their ignorance.
