Section 347 dragon head incense
Zeng Lu suddenly said excitedly: "By the way, the martial arts of the Wudang faction are famous all over the world, and they have been passed down to this day, we can go up and learn from those Taoist priests, and there are special things that make people want to see it, do you know that the first incense in the world of Wudang Mountain - the dragon head incense is not?, according to legend, in ancient times, the Zhenwu Emperor was ascended here, so the incense of Wudang Mountain was vigorous, and Taoist buildings spread all over the mountain. In our period, the royal family wantonly named Wudang Zhenwu God, the true martial god was revered as the god of the Sheji family, and Wudang Mountain was an important place to say goodbye to the heavens and celebrate his birthday. Wudang Mountain is famous for the prominent position of the five famous mountains and the five immortal Yue Gongzong dynasties, and has been named the first Taoist mountain by the previous dynasties, therefore, Wudang Mountain has also become the largest Taoist dojo in the Great Song Dynasty. As one of the famous Taoist holy places in the Great Song Dynasty, more importantly, Wudang Mountain is also a Taoist holy place in China, and the most devout believers worship nothing more than dragon head incense. Hu Jiaojiao also smiled and said: "I have never heard of this dragon head incense, because Wudang Mountain not only has a peculiar and gorgeous natural landscape, but also has a rich and colorful cultural landscape, since ancient times it has been known as the unparalleled victory, the world's first immortal mountain." Wudang Mountain is peculiar, a peak of the sky and the peaks of the arch guard, it has both the majesty of Mount Tai, and the danger of Mount Hua, the cliffs, the deep stream, the secluded caves, the clear springs are dotted around, the smoke is like a fairyland, therefore, Wudang Mountain has become the ideal place for Taoists to pursue immortals, this I know, this is a rare place to cultivate immortals and become enlightened, but you should talk about it, what is unique about this dragon head incense, and compared with ordinary incense, what is the difference between it?" Zeng Lu Yang began to say: "The reason why Wudang Mountain is known as the first immortal mountain in the world is mainly because of Wudang Mountain, there is a place where countless pilgrims want to move, want to go but can't go, and can't stop paying homage to incense, that is, there is."
"The world's first incense" is known as the dragon's head incense. Longtou incense, also known as the dragon's head stone, is the ancient craftsman using round carving, carving, shadow carving and other techniques to chisel and merge into one of the two dragons, the shape is clear, the two dragons look up and devour a fireball, leaping and flying, breathtaking, this way of incense is also unheard of, unheard of, its specific location is a carved dragon stone beam next to the cliff outside the stone hall of Wudang Mountain Nanyan Tianyi Zhenqing Wanshou Palace.
On a carved dragon stone beam next to the cliff, the stone beam stretches out 2.9 meters in the air, about 30 centimeters wide, carved coiled dragon, the top of the dragon's head, carved an incense burner, because of the abyss, the person who worships the dragon's head incense should kneel and climb from the narrow dragon body to the dragon's head to light the incense, and then kneel and retreat, but if the pilgrims are a little careless, they will fall off the cliff and break their bones, therefore,
"Dragon's head incense" is called
"The first fragrance in the world
“。 Longtou incense is also known as the dragon's head stone, it is the ancient skilled craftsman using round carving, carving, shadow carving and other techniques to carve, the shape of the two dragons is integrated, the dragon's head looks up and devours a fireball and leaps to fly, its exquisite ingenuity, the craftsmanship is breathtaking. In ancient times, in order to show their piety to the first incense in the world, many pilgrims risked their lives to burn dragon head incense, so there were countless people who fell into the rock and died. The imperial court has ordered a ban on burning dragon head incense, and set up a fence and lock at the entrance, but there are still pilgrims who don't care about life and death, and pious people risk death to worship dragon head incense because of the mystery and wonder of dragon head incense, pious believers and disciples, every time they come to Wudang Mountain to worship, they always have to burn dragon head incense and walk on the edge of the yin and yang life and death, life and death are uncertain. Because good men and women must climb to the cliff to worship the dragon's head and incense, it can be regarded as the fear of God, so as to show their piety in being kind to others, fearing the gods, and sincere in their hearts. Xiao Fei whispered to me: "It's really a little confusing, isn't it that the dragon head incense I saw in the book was built in 1314 AD, why does it already exist now?" It seems that the legend of history is always Zhang Guan Li Dai, or maybe this dragon head incense is not the other dragon head incense, in fact, I am very familiar with this dragon head incense, such as a number of treasures, easy to come, because in the modern society, our famous thief group company specially invested heavily to let us use a black cloth blindfolded, on which the danger is everywhere, below is the abyss of the dragon head incense above the practice of martial arts, in order to practice our balance in the dark and extraordinary mental quality, oops, that time of practice we are trembling, fearful, trembling, like walking on thin ice, and some of our colleagues because they did not pay full attention, a little heart fell into the cliff, There is no place to bury the dead, which is really pitiful, but fortunately, I have survived many tests. Thinking of the past, I can't help but feel cold in my back, my soul is scattered, I still remember in a trance that we have to hurry through the Nanyan Palace Hall every time, and then come to the Liangyi Palace, you can see the famous, women and children know the dragon head incense, there is a stone beam volley out of the cliff about 290 cm, about 30 cm wide, in the shape of a dragon's head, towards the golden top, carved dragon, carved incense burner at the top, that is the world's first incense - Longtou incense, that is the place where we practice every day, the past is really unbearable, but not only the people of our big thief group have died for it, but there are countless believers who have never returned, because the dragon head incense is mysterious and has a high status, and the believers and disciples have to burn it for their piety
"Dragon's head incense". The dragon head incense is in the abyss, the person who burns the incense has to kneel and climb to the dragon head to light the incense, and then kneel and retreat, a little careless, it will be crushed, the scene of death is miserable, miserable, I have witnessed it several times, it is really frightening, so there is no doubt that since the dragon head incense was built, burn
There are countless people who have died in the "dragon head incense", and there are thousands of unjust souls, but they still can't resist the pious footsteps of the incense burners.
Therefore, in 1673 A.D. (the twelfth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty), the governor of the Sichuan Lake Ministry ordered a ban on burning dragon head incense, and the governor Cai Yurong ordered to set up a stele of "Ban on Burning Dragon Head Incense", and its inscription is:
Under the south rock, leaning on the cliff to stand the temple spirit god, I don't know when to chisel the stone for the dragon's head, put the incense burner in front, under the desperate ravine, overlook it from a height, the god is terrified, the incense burner will fall with his life when he stumbles. This worldly mediocrity is done by vain people, and it is not God's intention to be merciful to all beings. In the furnace hall today, in order to burn incense, so that the filial son does not ascend, does not fall into the depths of righteousness, stands in front of the stone eaves, Yongdu villain walks on the road of danger and luck, the abbot of the palace and all the Taoists, at any time to admonish, do not follow the past, its obedience is not negligent. Governor Sichuan Daqing Kangxi 11th year June Shuodan. It's getting better.
I smiled and said, "But now it's a piece of cake for those of us who practice martial arts day and night, and it's not worth worrying about."
Sure enough, when other people heard that there was such a terrifying and terrifying way of burning incense that killed people, they were also eager to hear it, and they couldn't stop it, and they were eager to try it, and they also said that they would like to go up immediately and have a look.
