Chapter 473 The Beautiful Temple on the Corner
"It seems that people in the past were very similar to us. When they asked for help, they would pray to all the gods and Buddhas, just to be polite and considerate."

"Brother, is it possible that our current behavior habits are inherited from our ancestors?"

"It's so funny, the grandfather looks like his grandson, right? It's Tian Gang instead!"

"I didn't know what ethnic culture was until I grew up and found out that it is really important and closely related to blood."

As Xu Wen and his companions walked up the mountain step by step, they could see more stone Buddhas.

Sun Ya thought the scene was great and wanted the photographer to take a few photos of her.

Who knew Xu Wen stopped him and said, "You can't take pictures of the Buddha statue. You'd better take pictures of the scenery here."

Sun Ya said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Why can't I take pictures of the Buddha statues? These stone Buddhas are so beautiful. If I can't take pictures of them, then my trip would be in vain."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, you may feel very good and comfortable when you see these stone Buddhas now, but when you take pictures and take them back to look at them yourself, you may not feel that way anymore."

"You don't have to believe something as sensitive as this, but we'd better respect it. It won't do us any harm."

Xu Wen's words made the others nod in agreement.

The photographers also said that they usually do not take pictures of Buddha statues, at most they just take pictures of the overall scenery of the temple.

And even if you don't take pictures of the Buddha statues, there are many other things to take pictures of here.

For example, the long staircase here is a great background.

Under the photographer's command, the women avoided the stone Buddha and instead used the long staircase and buildings as the background, and took many beautiful photos.

After seeing this scene, netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but complain.

"I thought Xu Gou was fearless, but it turns out he's so superstitious?"

"Many things are not superstitions, but you have to believe in them. How many years has science been developed? Think about how many years has the theory of the five elements and yin and yang that our ancestors followed been developed? I can only say that there are many things that science cannot explain, not just superstition."

"I agree with this point very much, because I didn't know about this rule before, so when I took photos, I liked to take photos with Buddha statues and the like. Later, there was a period of time when I could clearly feel that I was not feeling well. I went to see a master chef and found out that there was something wrong with the photo. After I went back and processed the photo, everything was fine."

"Brother upstairs, are you serious or are you making up a story here? Why don't I believe it?"

"There was a person on the Internet who didn't believe in superstition and insisted on taking photos at a mass grave. As a result, the person was gone in less than a month. Brother, there are many things that you can't help but believe in. It's better to be in awe."

After walking down a long staircase, they came to a very spacious place.

After turning a corner, the girls suddenly felt enlightened.

Just around the corner is the temple.

Moreover, this temple is quite magnificent, with buildings one after another. If you don’t know, you would think you are in a palace!
Several women took out their mobile phones to take pictures. Even professional photographers were attracted by this beautiful temple and took out their cameras to take pictures.

Everyone was immediately impressed by the beautiful scenery. Even Sun Ya said, "Xu Wen, have you been here before? Otherwise, how would you know there is such a beautiful scenery here? It's so beautiful!"

Xu Wen smiled. "I have never been here. I just looked up some guides online and looked at the location of this temple."

Xu Wen introduced: "This temple faces south and I have also seen the topography of the place through satellite maps. Combined with the weather records of previous years, even though I have never been here, I know what it looks like at certain times."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, the girls all widened their eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also called it outrageous.

"Is this true? We can deduce so many things from satellite maps and weather data? Shit, am I the only one who doesn't get any sense of the picture when I look at the map?"

"I can only say that Xu Gou's spatial imagination is really amazing. Most people don't have such a strong spatial imagination, but there are indeed people around me who are very good at reading maps."

"How can I describe this ability? It can be trained, but some people are born with it. When I was in the army, there was a veteran who had a strong sense of direction and was very good at reading maps. If I gave him a simple map, as long as the map was accurate, then he could go off-road with an armed force just like going home. He knew the roads in the mountains better than anyone else."

"So I don't really understand what can be seen on this map. Why are you so good at reading maps, but to me, a map looks like just a piece of paper?"

We have to admit that map reading is a very important skill.

Especially in times of war, generals and the like must have this ability, otherwise you will not be able to fight at all.

Some people are born with the ability to read maps. When a map is placed in front of them, a three-dimensional graphic is automatically generated in their minds.

Some people can't do that. When they look at a map, it's flat, like a piece of paper.

The reason why Xu Wen is so good at making guides is that he can not only read maps, but also find information.

For example, after seeing this temple, many people can only roughly outline the location and shape of the temple in their minds.

But Xu Wen is different.

Xu Wen would also look for seemingly boring things like meteorological data and local county chronicles and take a look at them.

Just by looking at it, he knew more information and parameters. As long as this information was accurate, a specific and precise picture would emerge in Xu Wen's mind.

Xu Wen pointed to the platform under his feet and said with a smile: "Do you know what this platform is called?"

The women shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"This platform is called a disaster shelter. It was used by people in ancient times to protect themselves from thieves and bandits."

"You only noticed that you can see the temple as soon as you turn the corner, but didn't you notice that this platform is narrow, only two square meters in size?"

"The reason for building it this way is to limit the number of people passing through at the same time. This way, when the temple is attacked by bandits, they can use this terrain to defend and counterattack, achieving the effect of one against a hundred."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, the girls suddenly understood, and even the little monk standing beside them had his eyes lit up.

It turns out that this platform is used for this!
