Chapter Ninety-Eight: Asking Qingcheng Mountain 2
Since ancient times, Qingcheng has been secluded in the world, and the immortal seeks to ask for the ultimate reward.
The leaves of Zhennan are lush and the yellow finch is singing, and the ancient eaves hook is engraved with purple trees.
The Medicine Saint Alchemy Furnace is not there, and it is difficult to find a missionary work for the Heavenly Master.
The purple air and green cow from the east are far away, and the moral scriptures are inside.
Fifteen kilometers southwest of Guan County, the peaks are surrounded by undulating trees, and the forests are verdant.
The whole mountain is evergreen in all seasons, surrounded by peaks, like a city outline.
I saw that the front mountain gate is a bamboo and wood structure, which adopts the typical heavy eaves style of Taoism, and is carved with various legendary mythological figures, in order to show that they like the gods, and the insects, birds and beasts that are molded reflect the Taoist idea of liking nature.
The whole mountain gate flies the eaves and warps the corners, which is natural and simple.
The three big characters of "Qingcheng Mountain" are vigorous and powerful.
Couplets on both sides: "Collect 800 views at present, climb the six peaks on the top." “
In front of the door stands a pair of stone lions, each containing a round stone ball in its mouth, the stone ball can be rolled in the mouth of the stone lion, but it just can't be taken out.
Legend has it that craftsmen in the past used a traditional Chinese carving technique – hollow carving – when carving stone lions.
They first built the shape of the lion, during which they would leave a stone in the lion's mouth, and then slowly polish the stone into a circle in the lion's mouth, which was connected to the side of the lion's mouth.
Finally, it is separated and carefully sculpted. This method is extremely complicated and laborious, and I really admire the wisdom and technology of the ancients.
The most conspicuous position of the entrance is the shadow wall, and the book "the first mountain in Xishu" is written.
The front mountain is the main part of Qingcheng Mountain, and the main attractions include Jianfu Palace, Natural Pictures, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave, Patriarch Palace, Shangqing Palace, etc.;
Lu Zheng walked along the stone staircase covered with cangnan, turned into the palace, and the inner mountain gate was "Jianfu Palace".
Jianfu Palace is verdant in the ancient wood, in the embrace of Yunfeng Lanqi, the environment is very green and quiet, it is the starting point of visiting Qingcheng Mountain, and it is necessary to visit the first palace view.
In front of the palace, there are Qingxi and Yuanyun Pavilion.
There are two courtyards and three halls, the palace hall is splendid, the courtyard is fresh and elegant, with rockery, dotted with pavilions, just like the fairy palace.
The first hall: enshrine the Taoist protector god Wang Lingguan (Lingzu) and the god of wealth, and the inner side is dedicated to Cihang Zhenren.
The second hall: named "Zhangren Palace", enshrined in the five mountains Zhangren Ning Feng Zhenjun and Mr. Guangcheng Du Guangting, also known as Du Tianshi.
The third hall: that is, the apse, there are three colored statues in the plastic: the middle is the Taishang Laojun, and Taoism is respected as the leader; On the left is the Emperor of Donghua, that is, Huayang Zhenren Wang Xuanfu, the first ancestor of the five ancestors of the Quanzhen Daobei; On the right is Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School of Taoism.
The wall of the hall is engraved with the poem of Zhang Sanfeng's patriarch, and the eaves pillar of the main hall is hung with the famous long couplet of Qingcheng Mountain with up to 394 words. This was written by Li Shanji in the second year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty (1910).
Changlian describes the beautiful and deep scenery of Qingcheng Mountain, which enjoys the reputation of "the world's secluded", and the characters, stories, and legends related to Qingcheng Mountain are written into it, which can be described as a blend of scenes and lyricism.
This long couplet from far and near, from the big and small to lead the people who read it, follow the words to the top of Qingcheng, and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery in Shuzhong.
It focuses on the characteristics of Qingcheng Mountain that are different from other mountains, highlighting the color of Taoist culture and the story of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a stream running through the palace in front of the palace, and the water of the stream is crystal clear, and the four seasons are endless.
There are historic sites such as the dressing table of Princess Ming Qing Fu on the right side of the palace, it is in the belly of Chicheng Rock, it can be reached from the right side of the Nanmu Forest of Jianfu Palace, it is said to be the remains of Princess Chen of Qing Fu at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The Shangqing Palace of Qingcheng Mountain, located at the top of the first peak of Laoxiao, Lu Zheng came here, only to see the mountains and mountains embracing the green, the rocks and clouds, and had to sigh: he was so close to the sky and the clouds, as if he could grasp the clouds in his hand as soon as he stretched out his hand. Being here, Lu Zheng felt as if he had been far away from the hustle and bustle and was in a fairyland.
The legend in the palace is a mandarin duck well dug by the princess of Shu at that time, a circle is one side, two wells are side by side, the spring flow is dark, and the depth of the well water is affected by each other.
The inscription on the stele next to it is amazing, it is the handwriting of Mr. Zhang Daqian!
Magu Pond, the water of the pond is clear, it will never dry up, nor will it overflow, it is said to be the place where the fairy Magu baths in the pill.
About 500-600 meters behind the Shangqing Palace, there is a pavilion - echoing pavilion, which is located at the highest point of the old night top.
Lu Zheng came here, stood on the pavilion and looked at the past, only to see the mountains that could not be seen at a glance, rolling and undulating, one after another at his feet. Far away, the Minjiang River is like a ribbon, across the end of the sky, and not far away plains and houses, forming a landscape painting.
When Lu Zheng returned to Shangqing Palace, he saw that the Daoist of the Supreme Monarch was also there, and couldn't help but say hello: "Daoist, they all say that Qingcheng Dao Tea is unparalleled in the world." Today, the kid has to work hard to drive the Taoist, and I hope that the Daoist will fulfill my wish to taste the Tao tea and listen to the Daoyin!"
Zhijun Dao Chang shook off the dust, was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Little friend, please take a seat in the tea hall first." I didn't entertain well just now, so it's arranged!"
Zhijun Dao is more than 50 years old, bearded, looks fairy-like, and is dressed in a Taoist robe without wind and drums, hunting and hunting.
He is the head of the Qingcheng faction of kung fu, the president of the Qingcheng Kung Fu Research Association of the Xishu Martial Arts Association, the international martial arts champion, and the 21st generation of the Qingcheng Mountain Quanzhen Dragon Sect - the 105-year-old Cao Mingxian Taoist of the Qingcheng Mountain Patriarch Palace.
If he takes off his hat, Lu Zheng will be lucky enough to see the three flowers on his head. It's a pity that he didn't practice today, so he couldn't see anything!
The Taoist tea he arranged is brewed in a bowl, the tea shape is green and beautiful like a sword, the tea soup is light and blue, delicate and resistant to bubbles, and it has a strong Taoist atmosphere.
The shape of the tea is the thick stalk in ancient times, even the leaves and stems are collected and made together, according to Taoism, the thick is yang, the stem is yin, and the tea is divided into two layers in the teacup after brewing, which verifies the Taoist saying that heaven and man are one.
Listen to Daoyin, this is a way of saying by Lu Zheng.
He came here to listen because it was in the best location. No matter where the music comes from the mountain, after being refracted back by the surrounding mountains, it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.
Anyone can use this method to cleanse their tired mind!
On the other plane, when Lu Zheng is physically and mentally exhausted, he has to come here to taste a cup of tea, calm down and listen to a song of "fairy music", and wash his tired soul!
No matter how tired he is, as long as he listens for half an hour, he will always be "resurrected"!
Lu Zheng decided not to leave today, he was not only hungry for the immortal food here, but also for the "milk wine" here.
This milk wine is made in late October, with fresh wild kiwi fruit as the main ingredient and mineral water from Qingcheng Mountain.
According to the Taoist traditional strategy, it is refined and brewed for 9981 days, and finally presents a brilliant such as jasper, strong like **, rich fruity, elegant wine aroma, delicious and mellow, it is really fruity, sour, sweet, wine, fragrant five flavors are good.
Du Fu wrote a poem praising "milk wine": the mountain bottle milk wine goes to Qingcheng, and the smell is strong and fragrant.
