Chapter 859: Southern Pai Maoshan Mountain
Maoshan School is another name for the Shangqing School, which evolved from the Nantian Master Dao, and is called Maoshan School because it is located in Maoshan Mountain.
Later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Ge Hong founded Nanmao Mountain in Luofu Mountain, and since then Maoshan has been divided into two factions, north and south, and the Taoist of Yimei is the Taoist priest of the Nanmao Mountain faction.
Shantang Town is not far from Luofu Mountain, and the straight-line distance is only 120 kilometers.
Riding in a carriage, the two came to the foot of Luofu Mountain the next night.
Luofu Mountain was praised as one of the ten mountains in the world by Sima Qian, and during the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism both had founding patriarchs to enter Luofu.
Therefore, Luofu Mountain has also become a holy place of the two religions, since ancient times Buddhism and Taoism coexisted, there were a total of nine views and eighteen temples in the prosperous period.
In addition, because the founder Ge Hong was also a Confucian himself, there have been government academies and many private lecture halls in the mountains since the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, in the troubled times, the retreat and the study hall were closed.
Although the Taoist temples and temples are still burning incense, when it gets dark, they all close the mountain gates and no longer receive pilgrims.
Seeing that it was too late, the black stone in the middle of the mountain road was slippery, and it was difficult to move, Yimei Dao Chang and Fei Nan found a hotel, planning to settle down first, and then go up the mountain early tomorrow morning.
After resting for the night, early the next morning, Yimei Daochang packed up and walked to Luofu Mountain with Feinan.
Huanhuan didn't wake up, so Fei Nan took a blanket and wrapped her in a bag, carried it in his hand, and let her continue to sleep.
There are a lot of people in the mountains in the early morning, and many people want to grab the first shot of dragon head incense.
The steps under the Jade Goose Peak meander up, and the pilgrims climb the stairs.
At the mouth of the stairs stood a young Taoist priest, chanting silently with his eyes closed, and most of the pilgrims saluted him before continuing to climb the mountain.
The two of them came to the staircase and stopped.
The Taoist looked at the little Taoist priest, carefully identified, and looked familiar with the game.
The little Taoist priest suddenly stopped chanting, opened his eyes, and saw the two of them, Daoist Yimei and Fei Nan.
Standing up, the young Taoist priest bowed his hand and asked politely: "Dare to ask, but is it Uncle Sexual?"
"Exactly. ”
The Taoist Elder also bowed his hand in return, and asked with a smile: "But the same sect master and nephew?"
Sex is the name of the Tao of the first eyebrow, and the person who can call out his name is naturally the same person.
The little Taoist priest replied: "Back to Uncle Shi's words, the disciple's Dao number is fixed, he is the eldest disciple under the seat of the head of the Dao of Sexuality, and this time he is the order of the master of the family, and he came to welcome the uncle up the mountain." ”
Yimei Dao Chang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Xingjian's divination skills have improved again, and he actually calculated that we arrived today." ”
The little Taoist priest also smiled: "Master instructed me to come here and close my eyes and recite the "Great Cave Sutra", and when I opened my eyes, what I saw was Uncle Xingzheng. ”
"Just call me by my common name. ”
Yimei Dao Chang waved his hand.
"Okay, Uncle Yimei. ”
Dingnian looked at Fei Nan on the side and bowed: "Master said that Uncle Shi brought a distinguished guest this time and asked me to entertain him, so he must be this good man." ”
Yimei Dao Chang introduced with a smile: "His name is Fei Nan, and he is also a monk, and he will be your junior brother in the future." ”
"Oh?"
Dingnian was slightly stunned, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, just turned sideways and invited: "Master is waiting in the view, let's go back to the view first and then talk!"
"It's fine. ”
Yimei nodded and left.
Dingnian took the luggage of Yimei Dao Chang, carried it with one hand, and held a lantern in the other, leading the way ahead.
Fei Nan followed behind, quietly pulled the next step, and whispered to the head of the road, "Is there one of our people in the hotel down the mountain?"
Fei Nan still knows a little bit about this routine.
However, Yimei Dao Chang shook his head and denied his guess: "Senior Brother Xingjian's divination skills are very powerful, and I have already said in my previous letter that we are coming, and it is not too difficult for him to calculate the specific time." ”
Hearing him say this, Fernan became somewhat interested in this so-called divination.
Could it be that this Taoist priest called Xingjian is the Taoist priest who used the flying sword to send him the Five Thunder Talisman in later generations?
While thinking, he observed the little Taoist priest of Dingnian.
Yimei Daoist's luggage is not light, but when he carries it in his hand, it is as light as nothing, this little Taoist priest is obviously not simple.
Looking up at the mountain peaks in front of him, Feinan pulled out the map and looked at it, searching.
There was no cursor of the great god on the map, and Fernan was about to switch to the transcendent character panel to search again, but the fixed thought in front of him turned around and talked to him.
"Did Zhang Jushi practice with Uncle Yimei?"
Retracting his gaze, Fei Nan nodded: "Yes, this time, I am planning to officially take refuge in apprenticeship." ”
"I have to congratulate Uncle Shi. ”
Dingnian turned around and congratulated Yimei for a long time.
Yimei Dao Chang shook his head with a smile and asked, "Are there many apprentices who have officially apprenticed this time?"
"There were twelve of them. ”
Fix the right color answer.
"I'm prosperous!"
Yimei Dao sighed.
Dingnian smiled, and just wanted to speak, when he suddenly noticed something, and looked back vigilantly, but found nothing.
This little Taoist priest has a very keen sense!
Fernan muttered to himself.
He just quickly switched to the transcendent character panel, and he noticed it, but it didn't contact him.
Switching to the lower panel, he was sure that the Taoist priest was not in the mountains, which made him a little disappointed.
I thought I would be able to meet the old fairy this time!
Could it be that he came to Luofu Mountain later?
While walking and talking, they soon climbed the middle of the mountain, passed through Yunfeng, and walked towards Swallow Rock.
This section of the road is artificially carved out of the hard stone pinnacles, and it is very steep.
However, Fei Nan and his entourage are very good, over the mountains and mountains like walking on the ground, and soon came to the place where the three peaks gather, the local people call it the big stone pile, but the Taoist people are used to calling it the Sanhua Peak, taking the meaning of the three flowers gathering at the top.
The east and west branches of the three peaks have a retreat and a study hall, and the central one is where the Taoist temple of Nanpai Maoshan is located.
Luofu Mountain has excellent feng shui, Tibetan wind and qi, it is because of these three peaks, Zhu Mingyao Zhen Cave Heaven in the middle peak is respected as the seventh largest cave heaven by Taoism in the world, ranking one of the top ten cave heavens.
Legend has it that when Ge Hong founded Nanpai Maoshan here, he lived here and ascended here.
There is a Taoist temple on the top of the peak, called Chongxu Temple, which is the main site of Maoshan Mountain in the south today.
Surrounded by two mountains in front of the view, a pool in front of the door is shining, the white lotus in the pond is blooming, the lotus leaves are wide, the breeze blows, the leaves collide, and there is a loud noise.
When he came to the audience, Huanhuan also woke up and rubbed his eyes and got out of the blanket.
Unexpectedly, Feinan's package was actually a child, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Wow! it's beautiful!"
The climate in the mountains is cool, it is summer, and after the sun rises, it is the fragrance of birds and flowers, and Huanhuan suddenly comes to the spirit.
"Come down and go by yourself!"
Fei Nan put her on the ground, and she ran quickly to the white lotus pond, squatted on the ground and looked at the lotus flowers in the pool, and stretched out her hand to play with the water.
Hearing Fei Nan's greeting, she reluctantly got up and quickly followed, and walked into the void with Fei Nan.
