Chapter 196: Pastoral Truth
Li Changqing walked down, and about half an hour later, he saw two strange stones towering over the trees.
One up and down, like a human shape, is running upward, more than 100 meters apart, the former head is smooth and emaciated, it leans forward like a nun in a cloak to resist the wind, the latter is stout like a big fat monk, what is more wonderful is that between the monk stone and the nun stone, there is another huge stone towering, about 7 meters high, big and small, shaped like a torch, like a beautiful Guanyin, guarding seriously, not allowing the monks and nuns who have moved their hearts to return to the temple, constituting an interesting scene of ingenious 'monk chasing nuns'.
Li Changqing smiled when he saw this natural and interesting wonder, and sighed at the miracle of the creator.
When going down to the canyon, the stream surface is wide and narrow, the water flow of the clear pool is slow in the wide place, the steep slope and the steep flow in the narrow place are steep, and the cliff is towering, and there is a deep pool along the thin stream upwards.
The black-green veins are like "green dragons" passing through the mountains, and the dragon's heads stretch out into the water in the deep pools of the canyon.
"What a group of dragons absorbing water!", Li Changqing was amazed when he saw this.
The grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring.
The feng shui pattern of the dragons absorbing water, although there are many dragon dens, but the dragons drink water here, and when the flying dragons are in the sky in the future, they will naturally not forget the grace of drinking water back then.
If the tomb is buried here, according to the "Green Capsule Language", the descendants will definitely receive the emperor's grace.
Since ancient times, famous mountain monks accounted for more, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism more or less know some feng shui secret arts, the scenery here may not be as good as the lake in the clouds, but from the point of view of feng shui, it is far better than the lake in the clouds.
Li Changqing was very puzzled in his heart, why did the Muzhen Temple not choose the feng shui pattern of the dragons absorbing water here when it was rebuilt, but built it in the Yunzhong Lake? Could it be that the Muzhen Temple, which has a thousand-year-old heritage, has been so broken that no one knows the secret art of feng shui?
Just when he was puzzled, Li Changqing found that the stone wall on the side of the dragon absorption pool was lit up with a fiery red light, and when he got closer, he found that there was actually a simple stone temple hidden in the stone wall.
The temple is no more than five meters wide and four meters deep, and is divided into three parts, with a stone statue of the god in the middle, a bed made of grass clippings on the left, and a fire on the right.
When Li Changqing walked to the temple gate, the old man was lying on the ground, blowing into the firewood under the pot with his mouth, for fear that the fire that had finally ignited would be extinguished.
"Whew......", although the wrinkles on the old man's forehead are very deep, his breath is long and his face is full of red light, and he can blow for a long time when he takes a breath.
The flame that is the thickness of the little finger immediately burns to the size of the thumb, and there is immediately a rhythm of intense burning.
"Ahh......h
"Ahh......h
Suddenly, when the fire was about to burst into full flames, a large spitt star sprayed by the old man when he exhaled extinguished the flame that had just burned......
"Hey, it's really unlucky!", the old man spat to himself, turned around and saw Li Changqing standing behind him, he didn't care why Li Changqing appeared in such a barren mountain and wilderness, and his face covered with ashes showed a look of eagerness and asked Li Changqing: "Young man, do you have a lighter?"
"No!", Li Changqing shook his head.
"Where's the match?"
"Nope!"
"Where did you come from?", the old man was very aggrieved, a little disappointed, grabbed a handful of wild vegetables from the cold water of the big iron pot, ate them directly in his mouth, and asked Li Changqing in a very vague tone.
"From the copper bulge on the left side of the lake in the mountains behind the Muzhen Temple, across a line of sky, to the windmill mouth, from the windmill mouth, all the way down, through two stones of monks chasing nuns, down to the bottom of the canyon, and then up along the canyon, you will come to the stone temple!"
Li Changqing has a good sense of direction, as long as he has walked the road once, he will remember it and tell it eloquently.
"Mu Zhenguan?ahh
"What's wrong with Mu Zhenguan?", Li Changqing could feel the dissatisfaction in the old man's tone.
"There is only one Muzhen Temple in the world, and that is where you are staying now!", the old man said, pointing to the stone temple.
"What about the Muzhen view of the lake in the clouds?", Li Changqing was quite surprised and a little puzzled.
"Fake! The outcast who cheated pilgrims out of money! You don't believe it?"
The old man said with hatred, and then stared at Li Changqing tightly and asked rhetorically.
"Letter! With this group of dragons absorbing water, it is no wonder that Zhang Daoqing and Zhang Zhen received the seventeen edicts of the seven emperors before and after his death, and Xuangong Mountain has become a famous Taoist mountain!"
Li Changqing thought of the legendary Xuangong Taoist Daoqing's deeds, combined with the feng shui pattern of the dragons absorbing water here, Li Changqing felt that what the old man said was somewhat reliable, at least the Muzhen Temple created by Zhang Daoqing in history was very likely to be here in the stone temple.
"Looking at your young age, you can see the pattern of the dragons absorbing water, what does it have to do with Lu Qian'er?"
The old man seemed to think of something when he saw that Li Changqing's body had breath fluctuations, and he understood the feng shui pattern of dragons absorbing water.
"Lu Qian, there have been two sides!", Li Changqing said lightly.
"Interesting! Why do I think you get a familiar breath in you?"
The old man suddenly didn't care about the relationship between Li Changqing and Lu Qian, walked up to Li Changqing, and sniffed around Li Changqing with his nose.
"Is it the smell of sweat?", Li Changqing didn't know why, and felt weird.
"No, it's the aura you have cultivated, it seems to be somewhat similar to mine, but it feels more pure!
The old man fell into deep thought, thinking of the secret inheritance of the Muzhen Temple, and pulled Li Changqing to the statue in the middle.
The god is like a middle-aged Taoist man, holding a stone tablet in his hand, and the stone tablet is exercised diagonally from the middle, and the front part is nowhere to be seen.
The only remaining half of the stele is engraved with a small part of the Tao Te Ching: "The sergeant hears the Tao and acts diligently." When the sergeant heard this, he would live or die. The corporal laughed. It's not enough not to laugh. Therefore, there is a suggestion. Ignorance. If you retreat. It's a shame. Upper Dejo Valley. Great white if you are insulted......"
"Have you seen this similar stone tablet?" asked the old man with a concerned expression.
"It's possible to see it!"
Li Changqing remembered that he was taken by the white monkey to a karst cave on the eighth peak of Zhongnan Mountain, and there was a valley through the cave, which was overgrown with medicinal herbs, and there was a broken stone tablet, on which the same industry was engraved with the Tao Te Ching.
The half-cut stele in the hand of the statue of the stone temple and the half-cut stele found by Li Changqing in the Medicine Valley can match both the font and the broken part of the words.
