Chapter 281: Seeking the Green City
Throughout the history of monasticism, it originated naturally thousands of years ago, and monasticism was born out of the desire for meaning in life, which is a way to improve one's spiritual or divine power by modifying one's behavior. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Through the way of cultivation, ancient Taoists hoped to achieve transcendence from life and death, cut off pain and not be burdened by things, and finally achieve immortality, immortality and immortality, and the realm of heaven and earth, and return to the realm.
Cultivating the Tao is really cultivating the mind.
Lao Tzu said in the "Tao Te Ching" that to the extreme, to keep quiet, to see the plain and simple, less selfishness and few desires, these are the ways to enter the Tao.
Tranquility is the foundation of entering the Tao, just like it is said in the "Sutra of Tranquility", so those who do not know the true way are delusional.
If you have a delusional mind, you will be shocked by your God, and if you are shocked by your God, you will be amazed by all things, and if you are in possession of all things, you will be greedy, and if you are greedy, you will be troubled, and you will be troubled and delusional, and you will be troubled and miserable, but you will be humiliated, you will wander in life and death, and you will always sink into the sea of misery, and you will never lose the true way.
The true way of normality, the enlightened self-satisfied, the enlightened one, always quiet.
Therefore, it is necessary to "always be able to send away their desires, and their hearts are quiet, and their hearts are clear and their minds are clear." Naturally, the six desires are not born, and the three poisons are eliminated.
Ye Chao closed the "Qingjing Sutra", only a few hundred words, he could memorize it after reading it once. Now that he has enlightenment, he is not in a hurry to read, and quietly looks at the scenery outside the window so that the scriptures naturally flow in his heart.
People say, "Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its righteousness."
Reading is really useful for alleviating the influence of the demon's heart, at least this "Jingjing Sutra" can clear his heart, calm his mind, and make him delusional.
In fact, delusion is the inner demon, at the beginning, Ye Chao's cultivation of mental magic started from the attachment of delusion.
The devil's way, the lord's attachment, the lord's delusion, and the way, the lord's inaction, the lord's quiet.
Two extremes.
Ye Chao still has scriptures in his backpack, but he is not in a hurry to change them. If he doesn't read well, it's useless, so he doesn't rush to change it and slowly understands.
When Ye Chao closed his eyes and pondered, someone on the train noticed him.
To be precise, it was the wallet that was noticed on his body.
As a result, the two of them slowly approached, approached, and saw that Ye Chao still didn't react, so they started.
Then, the two of them were tragic.
They were hypnotized, not only did they not get Ye Chao's wallet, but they also returned the money they had just gotten back to the owner.
In the end, the two of them were confused, and they actually ran to the nearest police station to turn themselves in, and the surprised policeman looked at the two habitual offenders unexpectedly, and couldn't understand what medicine they had taken today, and actually turned themselves in.
After recording the confession, the two senior thieves finally slowly returned to normal, but at this time, everything that should be said has been said and what needs to be done has been done.
There is no way to regret it.
Even now, they can't understand why they did such a strange series of things.
Today's harvest is all gone, and the two of them have entered the faction.
As for Ye Chao, as if he had just done a trivial matter, he didn't even bother to raise his head to look at the two thieves.
This prodigal son's return is directed by Ye Chao.
The train is actually a very fast means of transportation, and it will not be long before you arrive at the station to get off.
Ye Chao took a turn and arrived at the destination of this time-Qingcheng Mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain has now been built into a famous tourist attraction.
It is located in Sichuan, the whole mountain is verdant, evergreen in all seasons, the peaks are ringed, the shape is like a city outline, so it is called Qingcheng Mountain. Mount Qingcheng is one of the four famous mountains of China's four great avenues, one of the five immortal mountains, one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and one of the ten scenic spots in Chengdu.
Qingcheng Mountain has a long history, it is said that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has Ning Fengzi from time to time, lives in Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate, once taught the Yellow Emperor the "dragon Ji technique" of the wind and clouds, the Yellow Emperor built an altar to worship it as "the five mountains of Zhangren", so later generations also called Qingcheng Mountain as Zhangren Mountain, and built a view (Zhangren Temple) to commemorate.
In ancient times, it was called the Five Great Immortal Mountains together with Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi, Qiyun Mountain in Anhui and Jingfu Mountain in Shaanxi. Each enshrines the True Martial Demon Emperor, the Wuyue Zhangren Ning Feng Zhenjun, the Haotian Jade Emperor God, the Demon Protector Tianzun, and the Guangyuan Pudu Tianzun.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals in Shu", entered Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate.
However, it was Zhang Ling who really established the status of Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain. In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he entered Hewu Mountain (now in Dayi County, Chengdu) to cultivate the Tao and founded the Wudou Rice Dao, that is, the Heavenly Master Dao.
Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain belong to the ancient Minshan Mountain Range, Zhang Ling was the first to come to Qingcheng Mountain from Heming Mountain to preach, and feathered in the mountain.
In 143 A.D. (the second year of Han'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty), two years after writing the 24 Taoist books, Zhang Ling arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, where he preached and founded China's native religion - Taoism, making Qingcheng Mountain the first of the four famous mountains in China.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, Qingcheng martial arts absorbed foreign martial arts at the same time, and blended with Dandao, natural Bigu, Yixue, and medicine to form a unique and complete system, becoming one of the four major schools of Chinese martial arts.
The support of the rulers of the Sui and Tang dynasties for Taoism made Qingcheng Mountain in this period really the "capital of the immortals". During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Taoism flourished, and the Qingcheng mountain palace was all over the place, and high Taoism emerged one after another.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, some famous figures of Daomen also went in and out of Shuzhong, such as Peng Xiao, Chen Luan, etc., who had traveled to Qingcheng Mountain, Du Guangting, Tan Qiao, etc., all died in Qingcheng Mountain. Among them, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist priest of the fifth generation in the late Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Baiyunxi in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, and sorted out and wrote a large number of Taoist books. Later generations built "Du Guangting Reading Desk" on the bank of Baiyun Creek for people to hang on.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Taoist priest Du Guangting came to Qingcheng Mountain, and the tradition of the Heavenly Master Tao was combined with the Shangqing Dao. Shangqing Dao claims that cultivating the Tao can ascend to the "Shangqing Heaven", which is higher than the ideal "Taiqing Realm" of the old Heavenly Master Dao.
Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of the Northern Song Dynasty, once came here to worship, and re-established the Taoist lineage of the Heavenly Master in the Changdao Temple.
In the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1174), Lu You came here and wrote a poem: "There is still a reading platform in the mountains, and the wind sweeps away the barriers of Qinglan's painting." Huayue curling is still there, when will Qinglian Monk come. Zhang Suqing, a Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain Chang Taoist Temple at the same time as Du Guangting, was a painter of the fifth dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty and was famous for his paintings on Taoist themes.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Taoism of Qingcheng Mountain was preached, and it belonged to the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Dao.
About Qingcheng Mountain, there is actually a legend that the emperor wrote the wrong edict.
It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism developed rapidly, Buddhism and Taoism had a turf dispute on the mountain, and the lawsuit reached the emperor. However, the edict wrote "Qingcheng" as "Qingcheng", so it was renamed Qingcheng Mountain, and it is said that the full text of the Tang Dynasty inscription edict is still preserved on the mountain, which is a real event.
Now, the scenic area of Qingcheng Mountain is divided into two parts: the front mountain scenic area and the back mountain scenic area.
The front mountain takes Changguan and Shangqing Palace as the core, and the palace looks at each other. Cultural landscapes such as Jianfu Palace, Patriarch's Palace, and Chaoyang Cave add color to each other with natural scenery such as Golden Whip Rock, Stalagmite Peak, and Zhangren Mountain. The main attractions are Laojun Pavilion, Yuecheng Lake, Tianshi Cave, Shangqing Palace, Wudong Tian, Cinderella Qingliang, Verdant Green City, Natural Pictures, Patriarch's Palace, Chaoyang Cave, Yuanming Palace, Jianfu Palace.
Qingcheng Houshan is 60 kilometers away from Chengdu and more than 20 kilometers away from Dujiangyan downtown, with a total area of about 100 square kilometers. Adjacent to the Wolong Nature Reserve, it is one of the important parts of the Sichuan Giant Panda Habitat, a World Natural Heritage Site. There is a saying that "a mountain is divided equally". The main scenic spots are Jinbi Tiancang, Tai'an Ancient Town, Crystal Cave, Santan Fog Spring (Jinhuatuo), Longyin Gorge Plank Road, Shuangquan Water Curtain, Baizhang Long Bridge, Baiyun Group Cave, Tianqiao Wonders, etc.
Ye Chao had no intention of playing, he knew that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, but he didn't know if there were any masters living in seclusion here, if it wasn't for the fear of offense, he would have already wanted to let go of the idea of magic and sweep it a few times under the mountain.
Qingcheng Famous Mountain, I hope you can gain something from coming here-Ye Chao thought in his heart.
