Chapter 274: A Thousand Years Old Town

On the second day, Yaowang Peak went to Yaowang Temple.

"Master, where did you find this outfit, it's quite like it." As soon as Yang Jibin arrived at the Yaowang Temple, he saw the old Taoist dressed as an authentic Taoist priest.

I saw Lao Dao wearing a blue coat, a mixed scarf and a yellow crown. There is a boxwood hairpin on the yellow crown, holding floating dust, carrying a medicine gourd on his waist, and stepping on road shoes, which looks very formal and serious.

"It's like that, that's what it is. You also hurry up and change your outfit, and after we burn incense and pray to our ancestors, we go out. Lao Dao pointed to the scarves, crowns, robes, shoes and socks, and hairpins on the table.

"This can be there, it makes people feel like the regular army." Yang Jibin felt that it was quite fresh, and picked up Daoguan and other clothes and looked at them.

The yellow crown is also known as the 'crescent crown' or 'weir moon crown'. Crescent-shaped, with two opposite holes on the lower edge, through the hairpin, can be pinned to the bun. This is a Taoist crown commonly used by Taoist priests, and the crown scarf can be worn after apprenticeship.

The Taoist scarf refers to the hat worn by Taoists, as the saying goes, 'the Tao has nine scarves'. The mixed yuan scarf is the most formal turban in Taoism. Round, hard-shelled, with holes in the top of the hat to expose the bun. The posterior upper part is slightly raised to show detachment.

Gown: placket, length to the legs and wrists, sleeve width of one foot four inches, sleeve length with you. It is the most common kind of Taoist robe, which is worn daily by Taoists. It is blue, which represents the meaning of the law.

The hairpin is used for the Taoist priest to wear a bun. It is generally made of boxwood or jade and metal. Strip-shaped, slightly curved, and also straight, some with taiji, bagua motifs or gourd shapes engraved at the back end.

Ten square shoes with a round cuff and a black and white bar pattern on the upper. There is also a type of hole in the upper of the shoe, which is suitable for summer wear.

Yang Jibin put it on in three or two clicks, and then excitedly found a mirror. After taking a picture of himself, he said with satisfaction: "Master, this outfit fits quite well." It also looks very handsome. It's just too strict, and if you wear it out this summer, you won't be laughed at. ”

"Monks, the six roots are pure, how can there be so many scruples about the eyes of the world. Packed up. Come and offer incense and prayer to the ancestors. Lao Dao stared at Yang Jibin angrily.

"Okay, Master, here you go." After Yang Jibin cleaned up briefly, he walked over to offer incense and pray.

……

"Master, I have a treasure map here, why don't you try your luck over there first?"

"Hey, this seems to be a real treasure map, and it's quite old. It's okay, it's going to be around anyway. Our first stop is to go to the deep mountains of Dali. ”

"Master Haole, I have long wanted to go over there to have a look. Shall we go by car or train? I'm going to buy a ticket. ”

"Why do you have to take a car when you go out? A pair of measuring rulers can't go anywhere. ”

"Shenma, all the way over? In this era of gods, transportation depends on walking, how many years do you have to walk so far? ”

"A few years? You're so beautiful, we're going to get there in ten days at most, and you're going out to play in the mountains and rivers? ”

"Ahh My mother, a miserable baby. Do you dare to love me, I have to go for two or three years? When Yang Jibin heard this, he had a headache.

He made a silent calculation in his heart: there are more than 1,200 kilometers from here to Dali, and he has to walk more than 120 kilometers a day to complete it in ten days. That is, it is necessary to walk continuously and briskly for at least ten hours a day to complete this non-human task.

Such a wandering of the rivers and lakes. It's hard work.

"Hey, boy, this is just the beginning. It's early, we're walking and practicing, you know? When you are a master, can you be free to go out and play with you? "Hey, hey, hey. Like a gust of wind, he walked forward quickly.

"Master, wait for me. You can always take it easy, this is a race walk, not a marathon run. Moreover, you snatched away the foul. Yang Jibin protested and hurriedly chased after him.

The master and apprentice relied on a pair of feet in this way, walking all the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, understanding the customs and customs, and naturally coming to the rescue when they were sick.

Ten days later, according to the original plan, the master and apprentice arrived at the ancient town of Dunnuo, which is located in the deep mountains of Dali, as scheduled. This is a Bai village with a history of thousands of years, and it is the lifeblood of the ancient town in the deep mountains.

Dunno was once an important economic town in western Yunnan, and the villagers had long made a living by boiling salt, creating the famous Dunno ham. At the same time, every family raises horses, and from these horses, the shadow of the former salt horse road can be vaguely seen. There are also buildings left in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the village, which are scattered, making this thousand-year-old village unique.

Even though Yang Jibin's physique is perverted and has reached the innate realm, after more than ten days of high-intensity travel, he also looks dusty and tired at this moment.

When he first arrived in Dunnuo Village, Yang Jibin was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery. This is a basin terrain, and the village is surrounded by steep mountains, and the houses of the village are concentrated on the bottom of this basin.

This basin has an S-shaped meandering river that runs through the village, forming the famous Tai Chi water lock map, which looks beautiful. Walking into the village gives people the feeling of traveling back to ancient times.

There are a large number of buildings left in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the village, and the blue brick and tile houses are scattered, which makes this thousand-year-old village unique.

It's just that if you look inside, it's not that pretty. Along the way are rock-paved roads, uneven; The walls of clay and stone were broken and collapsed; There are also those dilapidated thatched houses and brick houses, which look dilapidated.

Looking at the villagers in ragged clothes with thick patches, you will know that life here is not as poetic as the beautiful scenery, but very bitter.

Lao Dao and Yang Jibin entered this thousand-year-old village dressed as Taoist priests, causing quite a stir. In those years, the tourism industry in Dunnuo Village had not yet developed, and the number of travelers had not risen, and the transportation was extremely inconvenient, so few strangers came to the village.

Lao Dao has rich experience and it is not easy to communicate with the villagers, and soon he has a pleasant exchange with the villagers. When the villagers heard that it was a Taoist priest who could cure diseases and drive away evil spirits, they immediately regarded the master and apprentice as guests and invited the village chief to accompany them.

"Two Taoist chiefs, welcome to our Bai Dengnuo Village, I am Yang Zhenchuan, the village chief here." Yang Zhenchuan is about sixty years old, with a dark complexion, a wrinkled face, and a thick layer of calluses on his palms.

Among the Bai surnames, Yang, Li, Zhao, and Dong are the main surnames.

"Hello, old man. Our master and apprentice have traveled since then, and are ready to spend a few days in your village, if there is any disturbance, please forgive the old village chief and the villagers. Three immeasurable. Lao Dao saluted Yang Zhenchuan.

When the disciples of the Three Qing Dynasty generally give gifts, they often casually sing 'Three Immeasurables' or 'Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Inconceivable Merit'. This kind of singing ritual has been used until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Later, it was rumored to be the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, which was created by some people who did not understand Taoism.

"Don't bother, it's our honor for the two Taoist elders to come to our village. How can you bother, two Taoist leaders, please come with me, my house is not far ahead. Yang Zhenchuan hurriedly returned the salute and greeted warmly. (To be continued.) )
