A one-day tour of Pengxi

It takes 23 minutes from Nanchong Station to Pengxi, and there are not many trains on weekdays, so you can't return immediately. There is a 1 yuan bus from the train station to the county town. Jiu Feng Temple Pagoda and Kui Ge are not far apart, just cross the bridge to get there. Jiu Feng Temple Pagoda originally had a temple, but it was demolished for construction. After being charged 60 yuan, I went to Baofan Temple to see the murals, which were very exquisite. Since there were no lights, I used a flashlight to illuminate the murals, and they shone with golden light, the figures were very delicate. You have to pay 10 yuan to the custodian for them to open the door. However, the Guanyin Hall is not open but also has murals. Suddenly, looking at this temple, I asked if there were any monks left, and they said there had been none for a long time. In the county town, at the bus station, I saw the White Pagoda Zen Monastery. The White Pagoda Zen Monastery is still a large temple. Only after visiting did I realize that this is the Jiu Feng Temple relocated and renamed. It was also a coincidence to catch up with a Dharma assembly. There were old ladies wearing Haiqing listening to the monks talking about how to escape suffering and find joy. It was also a coincidence that there was a breeze, the sound of the wind chimes was particularly touching. Listening to their chanting also calmed me down. Looking into the distance, I could also see the Jiu Feng Temple Pagoda, which is a special kind of fate, I suppose, passed down through generations. It reminded me of a saying, 'A civilization without people is meaningless.'
