Chapter 135 Where is Yu Jing?
Chapter 135 Where is Yu Jing?
After thinking for a long time, Duan Zuo put his hands on the desk and said, "The company is going to go hiking and camping in a few days. Do you want to go?"
"No." Yu Jing lowered his eyes, "It's very cold on the mountain."
Duan Zuo sighed, "Just wear something thicker. It's usually hard to make an appointment at Nanyan Mountain. Besides, the company reimburses all expenses. How dare you not take advantage of this free gift?"
"I don't want to go."
"Then let's go." Duan Zuo knocked on the table.
"It's just a breakup, you're always showing off your displeasure. If you don't get out of here and get some fresh air, I think you'll create a case for Mingcheng employees to jump off the building sooner or later."
"..."
"No." Yu Jing said seriously, "If I have to die, I will die far away and won't cause you any trouble."
“?” Duan Zuo’s eyes widened, as if he was about to call the police, “Don’t scare me.”
Yu Jing looked out the window and spoke in a low voice.
"just kidding."
"I believe you." Duan Zuo said this, but he turned around, took out his cell phone and walked out.
"Ah, hello? Chen Ce, you, you come here quickly so I can tell you something, now it's really..."
Yu Jing didn't hear clearly what he said next. He really just joked and he wouldn't die.
He couldn't bear to part with the memories between him and Yi Zongyu.
There are few tourists in Nanyan Mountain under the cover of cold winter, and the weather is gloomy. The whole mountain looks like a sad and beautiful painting, quiet and lonely.
Yu Jing wrapped the scarf tighter and exhaled white breath.
Duan Zuo's mosquito-like chatter was in my ears. I wondered if he was a tour guide before starting his own business, but his mouth seemed to have been opened by someone. He has been talking nonstop since he got off the bus. He was just about to recommend some special products to sell.
"It rained just two days ago. Everyone must watch their feet and support each other. We must put personal safety first."
"OK--"
We wanted to watch the sunrise, but the weather was not as good as we wished. It was cloudy during the two days of the team building. We changed the time to enter the mountain and set off at 2 pm. If nothing goes wrong, we can reach the top of the mountain near dusk.
We will have dinner and camp at the top of the mountain at night and go down the mountain the next day.
After walking for about an hour, everyone's climbing speed slowed down, but they still had the energy to chat.
"I heard there's a very powerful temple on this mountain. Do you want to go and worship there?" Two young girls from the Human Resources Department gathered together and chatted.
"You mean Jingguan Temple?" the other party replied.
"Yes, it is said that there are more people fulfilling their vows than visiting the temple every day. It is very effective."
"Forget it. It will be dark by the time we climb up. Besides, Jingguan Temple is built on a tower. The steps are very steep and dangerous. We probably don't have the strength to climb any further. Besides, the tower shouldn't be open to the public in such horrible weather."
"Is that so? Then we can only wait until next time."
Yu Jing listened carefully but remained silent.
Duan Zuo looked over and touched his arm worriedly, "Don't mess around."
"What?" Yu Jing asked.
"It's good enough to climb the mountain in this weather. Don't just listen to people saying that the temple is magical and then go up the mountain."
Yu Jing hummed and said nothing more.
A group of people arrived at the camping site before dusk, and some of them were eager to set up tents just minutes after their butts touched the ground.
Duan Zuo started giving orders again, saying something to pay attention to safety, and asked a few men to light a fire first.
The entire camping area was in chaos and noisy, and when Duan Zuo looked back he could no longer see the remaining scenery.
He thought something was wrong and quickly questioned all the employees.
"Where's Designer Yu? Have you seen him?"
"Oh, that's strange. I just saw him here. Did he go to collect firewood?"
Another colleague pointed to the left and said, "I think he went that way."
Duan Zuo looked over and exclaimed in his heart, "Shit!"
"Damn it, this stubborn guy." Sure enough, he went to worship at that temple.
The steps were gravelly and it was getting dark quickly at this time of year. Yu Jing used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the way and climbed up breathlessly.
There are more people fulfilling their vows than worshipping, so it must be very effective.
It must be very effective, he thought as he quickened his pace. The biting wind made his temples numb, as if he had lost consciousness.
As long as he looked up, he could see the legendary tower and a small part of the iceberg of the Jingguan Temple, as if a god from high above was looking down at him. At this moment, he wanted to give up his life in exchange for that person's safety.
As the cold wind continued to blow into his ears, Yu Jing was able to sort out his thoughts and began to understand Xu Xiaofan's obsession.
Everything he does now and every step he takes is the embodiment of obsession after abandoning materialism.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Yu Jing could not see anything except the light in his hand. Everything was hazy and confusing. He relied on his muscle memory to climb the side of the mountain and reach the top of the tower in one go.
Jingguan Temple sits alone among the huge white pagoda, and the night is like a calm river winding into the shadows of the trees.
The surroundings are quiet at the moment, somewhat disconnected from the sound of the wind below the mountain.
Yu Jing walked inside step by step, his back broken and shattered, yet determined like a small black chess piece, shrouded under the giant tower.
The statue in the darkness is majestic and burly, with an unclear face. It shows no joy or sadness, as if it was born to listen to the whispered prayers of all living beings, day after day.
Yu Jing's fingertips were frozen numb, stiff and unconscious. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
He wiped the ashes off his body, knelt on the dark red cushion, and the moment he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, he seemed to smell the white smoke burning in the incense burner.
The red pad was a little damp and cold, and there was a dull pain in his knees, as if reminding him to make a wish quickly, otherwise it would be too late.
There was no signal on the mountain. Duan Zuo had already made at least dozens of calls to Yu Jing's cell phone, but his messages kept going in circles and couldn't be sent out. He was so anxious that he was almost going crazy.
Suddenly looking up, Duan Zuo was stunned.
The man was wearing a black windbreaker, his tall figure seemed like a three-dimensional shape cut out by the whistling cold wind. His eyes swept around and fell on him.
"Where's Yu Jing?"
"Ah." Duan Zuo was still trying to figure out why Yi Zongyu suddenly appeared on the mountain, but he pointed at the distant tower, "I'm contacting..."
Before he could finish his words, the other party had already started walking towards that place with a cold face.
Duan Zuo realized it belatedly and wanted to stop it, but it was too late. He and the employees around him looked at each other quietly. It was obvious that everyone was still in a state of confusion.
Others might only say one or two words when worshiping Buddha, but Yu Jing knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed continuously as if he was leaving his last words. Every word was pious, and every word was related to Yi Zongyu.
At the moment of bowing, a drop of cold water fell on the floor in front of the red mat, expressing a strong obsession.
His thin figure looked small yet determined. It was unknown how long it took before he stood up.
