This guy is really serious, why is his hand so strong, holding me so tightly, Wuwei Daoist can't help but complain in his heart.

"Ahem, okay, brother, don't be so excited, my brother is about to be strangled by you. Let's sit down and talk slowly, in front of me is the Xingtian Temple where I live, let's go in and visit! Saying that, the Taoist of Wuwei kindly pulled the attendant Bohu into his Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple of this era was also a place for Taoist priests to practice. Taoist temples are to be kept quiet, neat and solemn. There are many ways to cultivate the Tao, that is, to seek "quiet inaction" and "leave the country to sit and forget", and to be quiet and natural. The Taoist palace and temple are called "view" rather than "temple" or "temple", which may be the most directly related to the Taoist tradition of watching celestial phenomena at night. The main reason why Taoism attaches great importance to astronomy is that it is influenced by the legacy of the pre-Chu Taoists, and is extremely worshipful and awe-inspiring to celestial bodies; At the same time, Taoism starts from the Taoist thinking mode of "the unity of heaven and man" and "the same rule of the body and the country", and believes that understanding the heavenly phenomena is helpful to seek Taoism and become immortals. Therefore, it is called "viewing", taking the meaning of stargazing and looking at the moon, so it is often built on the top of the mountain.

In addition, people like Wuwei Taoist, who preaches that he has the art of immortality, naturally have to establish a stargazing platform in the Taoist temple. Out of the exploration of science, the religious and political demands of astrology and the need to prolong life, Taoists looked up at astronomy and geography, thus forming the tradition of stargazing at night.

The architectural principles and layout of this temple are also similar to those of palace buildings, but they are smaller in scale and have their own religious overtones in the decoration and interior furnishings. There are symmetrical bell towers and drum towers built in the temple.

The view is built as the main hall of five rooms, worship three Qing, all bronze like vulgar gold, three rooms each of the left and right two houses, three rooms of the main gate, five rooms of the Jade Emperor Hall behind the main hall, the bell and drum tower are built in the east and west.

Xingtianguan covers an area of more than 60 acres, the east faces west, the north and south are symmetrical, mainly including the Seven Star Pool, the main gate, the instrument gate, the bell and drum tower, the Yuan altar hall, the worship hall, the ancestor hall, the Jade Emperor Building, the Dan room, the red door, the corridor and the living room. The whole building complex is gray tiles and white walls, simple and elegant, and majestic.

"Wow, what a beautiful palace is as beautiful as the palace where the Khitan Emperor lives." The attendant Bohu couldn't help but admire after looking up at this magnificent Xingtian Temple on the mountain.

Wuwei Daoist smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiaohu, this is my brother's Taoist temple, and it will be your home in the future, you are welcome to come often in the future, and the door here is open to you at any time." ”

"Well, thank you, brother, you are so good to me!"

"Come, let's go in and have a look!"

After going around the Heavenly Temple, Bo Hu was a little lingering, and he asked Wuwei Daoist curiously: "Brother, when did you start cultivating the Dao, and when was I abducted, can you tell me about it?" I'm interested in these things. ”

"That's a long story!" The mind of the Wuwei Daoist was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to make up a perfect lie.

"That's the case, at that time, you and I went out to frolic, accidentally separated, and when I wanted to come to you again, I found that you were not there, I was still young at the time, and there was no way but to cry and cry back to find my father. Who knew that when we encountered the Khitan people slaughtering the village, fortunately we survived outside. But you are gone, and I am the only one left, I am sad and have no father and mother, and I met my master when I was miserable. It was he who happened to pass by our village when he traveled all over the world, but he only saved me one step too late, and finally took me in and took me back to Zhongnan Mountain to practice. That's why I had the experience of becoming a non-acting Taoist. ”

"It turns out that our background is so miserable, I was brought back by the Khitan people at that time, but I was still young at the time, and I can't remember anything, woo, now think about the Khitan people are really hateful, brother, why do you still refine the pill for that emperor, why don't you kill him and avenge my father!" Bohu said angrily.

Wuwei Daoist couldn't figure out whether this Bohu was telling the truth or deliberately tricking him, so he had to sigh and say: "The Khitan Emperor is not exhausted, I have a life to assist him, these are all days, and they can't be changed." ”

"That Yelu Hongye is so ruthless and cruel to the people of Nanchu, and he is still angry, I don't want to stay by his side and serve people like him for a day, my brother will take me back to this Taoist temple to live!"

Seeing that Bohu said so sincerely, it didn't look like a lie, Wuwei Daoist relieved himself: "It's not the time yet, I still have more important tasks to be entrusted to you." You have to stay with the Khitan Emperor and help me understand his every move and report to me at any time, and when the time is ripe, God will naturally come to accept him, and then you and I will be meritorious people, and we will naturally get positive results. ”

"Really? Okay, for the sake of my brother, I will continue to stay in the Khitan Palace and serve the dog emperor! ”

Hearing Bo Hu say this, Wuwei Daoist was embarrassed for a while, this kid dares to say anything, it seems that it is really not Yelu Hongye sent to spy on him, it seems that this person can make good use of it in the future.

"Brother, is it true that you taught the Emperor the Emperor's immortality technique?"

"Of course it's true, how can this be fake, this is all my brother I learned from my master, I myself am already immortal, so I have no desires and no desires, I just wish the world is peaceful."

"Then, brother, you can also teach me this immortality technique!"

Wuwei Taoist didn't expect Bohu to ask for this, so he had to take a look at the laws of Taoism and prevaricate: "The basic belief of our Taoism is 'Tao', and we believe that 'Tao' is 'the joy of nothingness, the root of creation, the foundation of gods, and the origin of heaven and earth', and the universe, yin and yang, and all things are formed by it." In Taoist beliefs, "virtue" is mentioned alongside "Tao", which is explained in Taoist scriptures as "the Tao is in me, which is virtue." 'The Book of Nature says......"

"Brother, just tell me what I need to do, I don't have any culture when you say this, I don't understand!" Bohu scratched his scalp and said.

"What I teach you are all basic skills, and you must learn them, so it's not so easy to say that you are immortal. There are also many ways to cultivate the path, such as prayer, contemplation, nurturing nature, inner dan, outer dan, and so on. However, no matter which method of cultivation is used, it is nothing more than seeking 'quiet and inaction' and 'leaving the country to sit and forget', and it needs to be quiet and free from external interference. Cultivators cultivate in such an environment, return to the basics, have a pure heart and few desires, and the food is pure green food, and after a long time, they will naturally gather the aura of heaven and earth in themselves, achieve immortal wind and bones, and prolong life. At the same time, the beautiful environment is also beneficial for patients looking for famous people. The fresh air in the mountains and the quiet dwelling are suitable for patients to recuperate. Listen to the wind and birds, watch the sunrise and sunset, worship the gods, observe the spells, get rid of the heart disease, and the body will naturally recover its health...... "Wuwei Taoist began to gush endlessly.
