Chapter 954: Ancestral Palace
The village here is relatively remote, and the concrete road has not yet been built, and the shoes are covered with dust all the way. After more than an hour, they came to an inconspicuous mountain, which was not the highest, nor the largest, compared to the surrounding peaks, it looked very ordinary.
The only difference is that the road to this mountain is made of stone, which is relatively easy to walk.
Qin Xuefang was old, and he was too tired to walk on the flat road for more than an hour, so they rested at the foot of the mountain for more than ten minutes before starting to climb. Not to mention the old man and the woman, even Hang Yu was tired and panting.
"I knew that I would ask two villagers to carry you up. Qin Jiuzhen said.
"No, I'm not that squeamish. Qin Xuefang said.
Qin Jiuzhen looked at Yuan Hongyu again and said, "Aren't you a retired special soldier, how can you be the same as us." ”
Yuan Hongyu smiled "shyly" and said: "Retired special forces are also people, and everyone will be tired, and I haven't done endurance training for a long time." After becoming a bodyguard, I mainly studied driving, anti-hijacking, rescue, anti-assassination, first aid, business etiquette and other projects. ”
Qin Jiuzhen thought it was very interesting and said, "You are quite all-round, but if you have poor stamina, if you need to hike over a few mountains to save people, won't you be exhausted halfway through." ”
"I thought about this when I was training, and one person has limited energy, so I can't really be all-round," Yuan said. In the selection of training items, we mainly consider the probability of various unexpected events. And the probability of this kind of accident you said is very small, if it really happens, I believe that my willpower can make up for my shortcomings. ”
Qin Jiuzhen questioned: "Is it not very reliable to put hope on something as illusory as willpower?" ”
Yuan Hongyu is not easy to explain the problem of willpower to the other party, because this thing is difficult to prove.
"If you're in the mood to think about my safety, you might as well think about yourself first. If I were a gangster, I would never kidnap a world-renowned top rich man + important person. A weak woman, not well-known, and quite rich, this is a better kidnapping target. Hang Yu laughed.
"Boast and don't have to pay for it. Qin Jiuzhen glanced at him, and then thought: This guy is indeed a world-renowned top rich man, and with his identity, he can definitely be called an important person.
If something happens to Hangyu, it will not be a matter of calling the police, and the local government and even the Yanjing government will attach great importance to it.
"There's a pavilion in front for us to take a break. Qiu Xueyan said.
It is estimated that the construction of the Changsheng Temple took into account that it was very tiring to climb the mountain, so every other section of the road, a stone pavilion was built for passers-by to rest. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are a total of four stone pavilions, and it takes about two and a half hours to reach the top.
As soon as I climbed to the top of the mountain, I finally saw an antique Taoist temple, the walls of this Taoist temple are all white, and the ordinary gray tile roof looks simple and quiet. In particular, when the sun is setting, the yellow sunlight shines down from the side, adding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere to the temple.
The Taoist priests were preparing to have dinner, and after learning about the intention of Hang Yu and the others, they took them directly to the place to eat. To Hang Yu's surprise, the concept of longevity could not help but be fishy, and he saw Taoist priests eating meat dishes such as chopped pepper fish head, fried fish cube tofu soup, and steamed rice noodles and meat.
Compared with the meat dishes we usually eat, they will put a little less oil and salt, and the processing method is not so greasy and hot.
"The gentlemen will dine first, and then I will take you to the Lord. Several young Taoist priests served them food, and one of them said.
"Okay. Hang Yu and the others nodded.
Because of the large amount of exercise today, Hang Yu and a few people ate very deliciously.
About half an hour, the young Taoist priest brought people to clean up the table and chopsticks, and he said to Hang Yu and the others: "A few gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, please come with me." Qin Xuefang said as he got up: "It should be that we thank your sect for your hospitality." ”
The young Taoist priest smiled slightly, bowed his head politely, and led them to the main hall of the Immortal Temple.
The main hall is called "Yuanzu Palace", which does not have any meaning literally, and Yuanzu is a word for clan relations. In order, it is father-ancestor-great-ancestor-high-ancestor-ancestor-ancestor-ancestor-ancestor-ancestor-ancestor-great
Or if you take Yuan and Zu apart, it doesn't seem to have any special meaning.
"Little Daoist, what does the Ancestral Hall mean?" Qin Xuefang asked the question in Hang Yu's heart.
"Yuan is the beginning of all things, the ancestor is the beginning of all things, and the meaning of the ancestral hall is the beginning of all things, the beginning of all things. The young Taoist priest explained.
"I see, this concept of immortality is really extraordinary. Qin Xuefang exclaimed.
Others felt that this name was a bit exaggerated, because before they met Li Zengshou, they had never heard the six words of Bailongling Immortal Concept. Wudang Quanzhen is much more famous than the concept of eternal life, and he doesn't dare to say that he is the ancestor of all things.
Perhaps guessing the thoughts of Hang Yu and others, the young Taoist priest explained: "When I taught the founder to choose the name, I did not mean that the concept of immortality is the beginning of all things, but that I placed a hope on it to guide future generations to pursue the beginning of all things. To practice the Dao, only by tracing the source can we know what kind of Tao and what Fa we are cultivating. ”
Qin Xuefang continued to admire: "The ancestors of your sect have profound Taoism and far-reaching meanings, which are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us. If you have any confusion or offense, I hope that the trail will be long and there will be a lot of sea covers. ”
Rao is a young Taoist priest who has been practicing for many years, and his heart is like stopping water, and he is also comfortable in his heart when he says this, and his smile is even brighter: "A few gentlemen have just arrived, and it is very common for some questions that they don't understand, even if they ask me." ”
Qin Xuefang lived up to his good intentions and immediately asked a lot of questions......
After answering several questions one after another, the young Taoist priest obviously regretted it a little, and for an ordinary person like Qin Xuefang who "had a heart for the Dao" but had never learned it, the young Taoist priest was obviously a little overwhelmed.
It's not that Qin Xuefang's questions are difficult to answer, on the contrary, he asks very "mentally retarded" questions. It's like explaining to a three-year-old why one plus one equals two, and it's inevitable to be impatient.
Finally, I met Li Zengshou, who was preaching the Fa in the main hall, and about 60 people were sitting around him and listening.
Hang Yu was surprised to find that in addition to a few of them, there were more than a dozen ordinary people. And judging by their clothes and accessories, they should all be rich people, and they may have come to seek the Tao like them.
The young Taoist priest asked Hang Yu and the others to sit next to him, and whispered: "It is rare for the Lord to open the altar to talk about the Tao, you can listen to it, and don't interfere with it." Hang Yu and the others nodded, and the Taoist priests sat down to listen.
