Baiyun Temple is outside the west gate of the capital and is one of the ancestral gardens of the Quanzhen Longmen.

Li Muchen stood outside the mountain gate of Baiyun Temple, and sighed with emotion, in the prosperous area of the capital, it is really not easy to have a vast and magnificent cultivation palace.

There are a lot of tourists who come to Baiyun Temple, coming in and out, not to mention shoulder to shoulder, it can also be said that the river is endless.

Li Muchen came to visit the main temple, and it stands to reason that he can enter directly from the back mountain gate, but the first time he came to Baiyun Temple, he was also a little curious, what this real first jungle was like, so he bought a ticket and followed the tourists into from the main gate.

When I was about to enter the mountain gate, I suddenly found that many tourists gathered at the middle door, still touching something on the stone wall.

Li Muchen was curious to go up and see a small monkey where a tourist was touching the relief on the stone arch on the right side of the arch.

The stone monkey has been touched shiny, and I don't know how many people have touched it in many years.

What surprised Li Muchen was that on this palm-sized stone monkey, there was actually a gathering of aura, and with divine sense, it was alive, as if it was alive.

Unfortunately, stones are always stones, and it is impossible for a monkey to really pop up.

At this time, a tour guide came over with the team and began to introduce, and Li Muchen knew that Baiyun Temple had the custom of "touching stone monkeys".

There is a folk proverb: the gods are gone, and only the stone monkeys are left in the view.

Remember https://m in a second.

So this stone monkey also symbolizes the gods.

Tourists who come here have to touch it and ask for good luck.

It is said that there are three stone monkeys in the Baiyun Temple, except for this one on the arch, the other two, hidden in a very inconspicuous place, it is difficult to find, so there is a saying that "the three monkeys do not meet".

Li Muchen thought it was very interesting, so he followed the tour guide team, and sure enough, soon after, he found two other stone monkeys.

The two were a little more hidden, but they were also touched to the point of being slippery.

The stone monkey also condenses aura, as if it is a divine fetus inside.

Li Muchen found that the location of these three stone monkeys was actually the three array eyes of the Baiyun Guan Mountain Protection Array.

And this mountain protection circle is also very peculiar.

Ordinary magic circles rely on the natural spiritual power of the earth qi or the materials that make up the formation.

The same is true of the mountain protection circle of Baiyun Temple.

But with these three stone monkeys, the operation of the mountain protection formation can not disturb the earth's qi, but to operate with popularity.

A steady stream of tourists, in the process of petting the stone monkeys, poured their good wishes and belief in the gods into it, forming a special energy field.

The circle sustains these energies, and uses them to keep the circle itself running.

The capital is a special place, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, any disturbance of the earth's qi may affect the royal fortunes, and Baiyunguan borrowed the popularity to run the mountain protection array, skillfully avoiding the conflict with the royal earth's qi.

The person who designed this circle in the first place must have been a master.

Li Muchen sighed with emotion, and suddenly his heart moved, and he remembered something.

"The immortals are gone, only the stone monkeys are left in the view......"

He muttered these two proverbs.

Stone monkey, stone monkey, in Taoist language, the monkey represents the heart, and the so-called heart ape is also the horse.

Three stone monkeys, doesn't it mean that the world is half-hearted?

Therefore, "the immortals are nowhere to be found, only the stone monkeys are left in the view", which is to tell people that there are no gods in this view, and some are just half-hearted mortals.

All kinds of troubles in life are because of the uncertain heart and the horse.

If you want to be a god, you have to break the three hearts, except for the two intentions, which is called the heart-cutting ape and the broken horse.

Well, since there are three stone monkeys representing the "three hearts", there should be two horses representing the "two intentions".

Li Muchen searched in the view, and sure enough, he found two stone horses, which were also in inconspicuous places, but he had the formation as a clue, and it was not difficult to find them.

It's just that these two stone horses have not been touched, and I didn't hear the tour guide mention it just now, so the tourists must not know.

Li Muchen realized the meaning and smiled.

This designer is not only a master, but also a wonderful person!

At this time, a man walked up to him, stood side by side with him, also looked at the stone horse in front of him, and said to himself, "Interesting, really interesting!"

Li Muchen looked sideways and saw a tall red-haired foreigner.

The foreigner also turned his head to look at him and said, "Chinese culture is really broad and profound." ”

Li Muchen smiled and said, "Yes, broad and profound. ”

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the foreigner stretched out his hand to him: "My name is Adam, what do you call you?"

"Daoyou?" Li Muchen didn't feel a little funny, "Only between Taoist monks will they call each other Daoyou." ”

Adam said, "I am a monk from the Zhongfuguan in Los Angeles, and I am a son of the Tao. ”

Li Muchen was slightly stunned, a little surprised, this foreigner was actually a Taoist priest.

Adam's hand was still outstretched.

Li Muchen shook hands with him and said, "My name is Li Muchen." ”

Adam smiled happily and said, "It's so happy to meet people from the same path on the first day I came to Huaxia. ”

Li Muchen smiled: "I'm not a Taoist priest. ”

"But you must be a cultivator, right? Or you wouldn't notice the stone horse. Adam said.

Li Muchen wanted to test him, so he asked, "What's so important about this stone horse?"

Adam said: "In Chinese culture, apes and horses are used to represent people's minds, and three monkeys and two horses represent half-heartedness. People have delusional minds, true hearts, and Taoist minds. There is often delusion, so the stone monkey is on the arch at the entrance of the mountain, which can be seen at a glance. And the original heart and the Dao heart are difficult to see, so they are hidden in the depths. ”

Li Muchen nodded unconsciously, this foreigner still has some opinions.

"And what about the two horses?"

"The ape is the heart, the horse is the mind. Meaning is consciousness, the distinction between yin and yang, in today's words, is the subconscious and the surface consciousness. The two consciousnesses are also the root of our thoughts. ”

"Then why do tourists go to touch the stone monkeys and no one comes to touch the horses?"

Adam thought for a moment and said, "I think the designer only passed on the proverb of the stone monkey, and did not mention the stone horse, probably saying that people have delusional intentions, and through hard work, they can also find their true heart and Dao heart, but few people can notice their own intentions." Because the mind is the root of the mind, we cannot use the mind to discover the thought itself, just as we cannot see our own eyes with our eyes. ”

Li Muchen was quite surprised, and was a little impressed by Adam.

This foreigner already has a considerable depth of cognition and understanding of the Tao, but he didn't expect that an overseas monk could have such a deep insight into the unique cultivation of China.

"Mr. Adam, is it really the first day you came to Huaxia?" Li Muchen said curiously.

"Of course it's true. Adam said, "I love Taoism, I am very obsessed with Chinese culture, and I have wanted to come for a long time, but Master said that my fate has not yet arrived, and I have not been allowed to come." Recently, there have been a lot of heretics in Los Angeles, who have stormed Taoist temples and monasteries, destroyed dojos, and called practitioners heretics. We have also been impacted. ”

As soon as Li Muchen heard this, he immediately connected with what Hongmen Wan Shanlin said.

"What is the origin of the infidels who attacked you?"

"It should be related to the anti-China forces in North America, but what worries Master is a sect called the Sun Saint Sect, which originated in Europe but has been very active in Los Angeles recently. ”

Sure enough, it's the Sun Holy Sect again.

Li Muchen nodded: "So you came to Baiyun Temple this time, did you come to report or ask for help?"

"It's both. Adam smiled, "I heard that Baiyun Temple is the first jungle of Quanzhen, so I came here on the first day. I'd love to see what the seniors of the cultivators here are like. ”

When he said this, Adam's eyes were full of light.

Li Muchen understood that this guy was not only here to ask for help, but also to challenge.
