Chapter 270: The Golden Dome Asks for Signatures
Li Qingcang was overjoyed when he heard it, this "Nanhua Sutra" is a Taoist classic, and his father has heard his father say that many of them are derived from this, although the content above is not a mastery of divine skills, but the general outline of some methods of cultivating the mind and refining the body in the Taoist sect is indeed from the "Nanhua Sutra" written by Zhuangzi.
I remember that my father once told me that his martial arts were passed on from the "Xiaoyao School", and the name of this school came from the "Nanhua Sutra" in the "Xiaoyao School".
Since Li Qingcang left home in the Song Dynasty to explore the rivers and lakes, he has not studied these Taoist classics well, so he has some confusion about the current practice, and now Chen Zhangjiao gave him the "Nanhua Sutra" annotated by himself, which is tantamount to sending him a guiding light.
Immediately got up to thank him, cherished this Taoist book into his arms, Chen Zhangjiao saw him accept his handbook, he was also very happy, and was about to continue to discuss the experience of martial arts, Wan Dao Chang coughed, pointed to the outside of the hall with a finger.
Chen Zhangjiao raised his eyes and looked at it, only to realize that it was getting late, so he couldn't help patting his thigh and said, "Look at my head, I don't know when it's dark." Walking, eating, and a few of your friends must be impatient. ”
After speaking, he invited Li Qingcang to go to the dining room with him to eat, and the three of them came to the dining room, Hai Ruyu, Catherine and others had been waiting here for a long time, Wudang Dao tea drank a lot, and the toilet went to the toilet a few times.
It's just that a few people knew that what Li Qingcang discussed with the two Taoist masters in the side hall must be beneficial to Li Qingcang, so they all sat in the dining room accompanied by young Taoist priests and listened to these Taoist priests tell the strange stories of Wudang Mountain.
As soon as the leopard saw Li Qingcang, he hurriedly came up and asked quietly, "Big brother, how is it, what have you gained from talking to these two Dao Masters for so long?" ”
Li Qingcang nodded with a smile and replied, "I have gained a lot, this trip is worth it." ”
Hai Ruyu, Catherine was happy for him when she heard Li Qingcang say this, and the group sat down at the invitation of Chen Zhangjiao, and then began to eat.
This Wudang Mountain's fasting rice is also unique, although it is a vegetarian dish, but many dishes look similar to meat dishes, plus today is the head of the banquet, the cooks in the dining room are naturally up to make a table of vegetarian feasts.
Cold spelling: peacock open screen, flowers bloom rich. Cold dishes include: fragrant marinated beef, sweet holy fruit, jade melon strips, and flavored vegetarian sausage. Hot dishes include: vegetable bile abalone soup, Ruyi vegetable rolls, oolong play beads, Tai Chi tofu box, pan-fried vegetarian shrimp, Taoist vegetarian stir-fry, thread-roasted vegetarian fish, Xianshan vegetarian four treasures, Xuanmen button meat, slipping vegetarian three fresh, sweet and sour vegetarian pork chops, honey sauce eight treasures white fungus soup, etc. Special dim sum includes: palace noodle nest, pancorn tortillas, potato cakes, Taoist pancakes and so on.
The raw materials are all collected from the plants and fruits of the mountains and mountains (picked in the mountains and planted by Taoist priests), such as walnuts, chestnuts, kiwifruit, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, etc., and the oil is all made of vegetable oil, and the appearance is realistic, vivid, and you can't taste it at all if you don't eat it.
Chen Zhangjiao took the lead in holding chopsticks and vegetables, signaling that everyone did not have to be polite. The leopard took a piece of Xuanmen buckle meat and chewed it twice, his face was full of surprise, and he shook his head to indicate that it was delicious.
Hai Ruyu usually doesn't dare to eat these too greasy meats, but when she saw that it was a vegetarian feast, she was curious and put a piece in her mouth to taste, and nodded again and again after taking a small bite.
Hurriedly gave a piece to Catherine, who was not good at using chopsticks, and Catherine didn't know what the vegetarian banquet was, but there was nothing taboo about eating for the tiger girl.
Seeing this oily-looking buckle meat, I took a bite when I clamped it, and I felt that the taste was wrong, although it was not meat, but the taste was better than meat.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "Chinese food is really amazing, it looks like meat, how can you eat it in your mouth but there is no taste of meat, what is it made of, Dao Chang?" ”
Chen Zhangjiao smiled and introduced the names and raw materials of these vegetarian dishes to this foreign friend one by one, while Catherine was like a country girl who had never seen the world, and every time she ate a dish, she would let out a surprised compliment, and was deeply shocked by the Chinese's whimsical ideas about food.
Xiao Meng and others are also full of praise for these delicacies that look similar to the real corn and fish, everyone has been either roasting meat or vacuum food in the mountains these days, and they have already eaten the inner fire, and now it is appropriate to eat some of the carefully cooked vegetarian dishes.
A vegetarian banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and after the banquet, Chen Zhangjiao did not exchange martial arts experience with Li Qingcang, after all, it was not good to leave these guests aside.
After chatting casually for a while, Chen Zhangjiao told everyone that he would personally accompany Li Qingcang and others to Jinding tomorrow, and Li Qingcang hurriedly thanked him when he heard it.
This is the chief scoop of Wudang Mountain as a guide himself, and this face is very tight.
Chen Zhangjiao smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Li Xiaoyou doesn't have to be polite, I don't have to be polite with you today, on the surface, we are asking each other for advice, but in fact, my Wudang faction has benefited a lot, Li Xiaoyou doesn't have to be polite!" As he spoke, he led everyone out and called a young Taoist priest and asked him to take him to the nearest blessed land to rest.
Li Qingcang and the others were disrespectful, and waved goodbye to Chen Zhangjiao and Wan Daochang.
When he came to the hotel, the little Taoist priest helped everyone open the room, said goodbye and left, and the main station saw that Zixiao Palace came to receive it in person, so he naturally did not dare to snub a few distinguished guests.
The hotel manager politely brought a few people to the room, carefully inquired about what else was not well received, and got a satisfactory answer from the guest before leaving.
Xiao Meng waited until the manager left, and cheered: "It's good to follow the boss out, eat and live, and tomorrow there will be the chief scoop of Wudang Mountain to accompany us as a tour guide, go back and blow with them, and keep those people to envy to death." ”
The sweetheart was so respected, Hai Ruyu and Catherine were also very happy, everyone laughed for a while, and each went back to the room to rest.
Li Qingcang waited until everyone dispersed, and then took out the "Nanhua Sutra" given by Chen Zhangjiao and read it carefully, and the annotations in it were also quite insightful, confirming his understanding of the art of internal guidance.
Although this Chen Zhangjiao is not as good as his own kung fu, but this theoretical knowledge is not a little bit stronger than his own, with this Taoist book as the basis, coupled with the experience of contemporary Wudang Zhangjiao, his future practice on the road of resistance will be greatly reduced.
I was happy in my heart, and the dragon spirit and tiger made Xiao Yu'er gasp and gasp, and the bones were soft and numb.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast in the hotel, the little Taoist priest who brought them here yesterday came to pick them up.
When everyone came to Zixiao Palace, Chen Zhangjiao was dressed in a blue sermon robe, white socks and black shoes, and simply tied his hair in a bun, happily waiting for everyone under the stone steps.
After a little greeting, he took everyone on the bus to Crow Ridge, and from here he started to hike up the mountain, and there were many tourists who went to Jinding to worship along the way.
Chen Zhangjiao and Li Qingcang chatted while walking, continuing yesterday's topic, while Leopard and the others crawled up the stone steps built by the mountain, fortunately, a few people were also crawling and rolling in the wild and treacherous old forest a few days ago, and they didn't feel tired at the moment, and Catherine was even more light-footed, far ahead on the stone steps.
An hour later, we finally arrived at Tianzhu Peak, which is located at an altitude of 1,600 meters, and Taiyue Taihe Palace stands on the top of the peak, towering over the mountains.
Chen Zhangjiao took everyone into the Taihe Palace, passed through the South Heavenly Gate, passed the Ling Palace, and stepped on the nine consecutive feet, arriving at the most prominent building "Golden Dome" (also known as the Golden Palace) that symbolizes Wudang Taoism under the support of the royal family.
Located in the middle of the top of Tianzhu Peak, the stone platform covers an area of about 160 square meters and faces 8° south-east. The width and depth of the hall are three, 4.4 meters wide, 3.15 meters deep, and 5.54 meters high. There are 12 columns around it, and the columns are stacked on the frame, the forehead, the fang and the heavy and heavy and the single heavy and heavy bucket arches, respectively, support the upper and lower eaves, and constitute the heavy eaves bottom hall roof. The two ends of the ridge cast dragons face each other. The four walls are equipped with four-trowel lattice doors between the columns. The top of the hall is made of flat chess ceiling, cast shallow carving flow cloud pattern, and the lines are soft and smooth. The ground is covered with purple stone grain, washed and polished.
The roof is characterized by the practice of "pushing the mountain". Set up the altar in front of the screen on the back wall in the hall, sits on the statue of the Emperor Zhenwu, the left waiter golden boy holds the book, the right waiter jade girl Duanbao, the two generals of water and fire, holds the flag and holds the sword arch guard in both compartments.
Under the altar, there is a statue of Xuanwu, which is a combination of Jin Wan. Set up an incense case in front of the altar and place an offering device. Above the altar, the forehead of the goldsmith is hung high, and the handwriting of the Qing Holy Ancestor Aixin Jueluo Xuanye is cast with the words "Golden Light and Wonderful Appearance".
Outside the eaves of the hall, the hanging dragon bucket side distilled gold medal, and the word "Golden Palace" was cast vertically. Each part of the temple body adopts the lost wax method casting, the whole body is distilled gold, regardless of the tile work, the wood component, the structure is rigorous, the seam is precise, although after more than 500 years of severe cold and heat, it is still brilliant as ever. )
There are also several wonders in the Golden Palace, one of which is "the ancestor sweats": every time before the heavy rain, the statue of the god in the hall is dripping with water, like people sweating.
The second is "seahorse spitting fog": there are many lifelike golden beasts and golden birds standing on the roof of the golden temple, among them there is a seahorse, every summer, when the seahorse mouth "spit out" strings of white mist, and "feed" the sound, then there will be a storm to wash the golden temple. The third is the "Thunder and Fire Refining Palace": when the thunderstorm comes, there will be a large fireball rolling back and forth around the Golden Palace, dazzling, and the sky will collapse and crack when encountering the collision of objects. Sometimes the thunder and lightning cut through the sky, such as the sharp sword directly splitting the golden palace, in an instant, the golden top of Wudang Mountain golden light ten thousand ways, straight to the nine heavens, dozens of miles away can be seen on the top of Wudang peak, the red light rushes to the sky, its scene is like a volcanic eruption, thrilling, magical and magnificent.
It is said that it is very effective to ask for a sign here, and many tourists have asked for a sign here after paying homage to the statue of Emperor Zhenwu.
Hai Ruyu, when Zhu Qianwen heard it, she naturally pulled everyone up to join in the fun. So including Catherine, the foreign girl, knelt respectfully in front of the Golden Palace, holding the lottery holder and shaking it for a while, and each drew a lot.
Originally, according to the rules of the mountain, after the Jinding lottery, there was a special Taoist priest in the Taihe Palace who explained the lottery according to the tourist's birthday, but now there is a happy Wudang Mountain chief scoop around everyone, and other people dare not say how, but this Wudang master wants to say that he doesn't understand Yin Yang Zhou Yi, and he doesn't believe it.
First of all, the leopard took the bamboo stick and roared to find Chen Zhangjiao, and said, "Chen Zhangjiao, can you help me see what this signature means?" ”
Chen Zhangjiao was taken aback by his loud voice, but fortunately, the mountain wind was cold and the noise of tourists was also loud, and no one noticed the leopard's loud cry.
Hurriedly raised his finger and said to the leopard: "Bao Jushi, don't raise your voice, it will be difficult for others to know the identity of the old way, but it will not be good for you to unsign." ”
Only then did the leopard come over, nodded again and again, and said, "You are always right, I will not say anything, you can take a look." ”
Chen Zhangjiao shook his head with a smile while holding the leopard's signature, and said, "Okay, today Poor Dao will be a fortune teller and calculate a hexagram for you people." ”
