Chapter 18 Taiqing Dao Palace

It was noon, and Zhang Taiji and others came to Taiqing Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhike Taoist priest asked a few people to come to Ming, led a few people to the Sanqing Palace, and introduced the composition and history of the Taiqing Palace to everyone along the way. The Taoist priest who knows the guest speaks foaming at the mouth and talking endlessly, which is comparable to the tour guide of later generations. From the mouth of the Taoist priest, it is known that the Taiqing Palace is located at the southeast end of Laoshan Mountain, surrounded by the seven peaks of Baozhu Mountain on three sides. Laojun Peak is in the center, the left is Taoyuan Peak, Wanghai Peak, Donghua Peak and the east in turn, and the right is Chongyang Peak, Pantao Peak, and Wangmu Peak in turn and west. The palace is under the peak, and the sea is current. The main body of Taiqing Palace is divided into three official halls, three clear halls, three emperor halls, three main halls, with ancillary facilities Guanyue Temple, East and West Guest Hall, Kun Dao Courtyard and other houses a total of more than 150 rooms. Each hall has a mountain gate, and there is a convenient door and a road to communicate, the house is simple, ancient and clumsy, basically inheriting the scale and characteristics of the building of the Song Dynasty.

Making a wish is a kind of promise made in advance to ask God to protect oneself so that one's wish can be fulfilled. Wishing refers to the fulfillment of one's heart's desire, and the fulfillment of the promise made to God in the Taoist temple. There is no need to choose an auspicious day to make a wish or make a wish, and you can make a wish and repay a wish anytime and anywhere.

Before Han Yue'e gave Zhang Taiji, she made a wish in the Sanqing Palace, so she also wished to repay the vow directly to the three Tianzun. The three Qings, namely Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing, each of the three Qings is a first-class cave heaven, and each has a Tianzun to preside. It is the highest god of Taoism, the lord of Taiqing is the moral Tianzun (that is, the Taishang Laojun), the lord of Yuqing is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the lord of the Shangqing is Lingbao Tianzun. Sanqing is a great god who opens the world, saves people through calamities, and preaches and teaches the law. The avenue is a qi 'read qi' and three clear. Sanqing is the symbol of "Sanyi" in Han philosophy, and "Sanyi" is Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in "Tao Gives Birth to One, Life to Two, Two to Three, Three to All Things".

Han Yue'e asked the housekeeper Han Fu to put on the five tributes he brought, the same number of plates, and five things are also the number of five plates. Dim sum and fruit are generally five or seven each, and they are used in single or not double. Then with the help of the Taoist priest, he lit a handful of incense and a candle, and then went to the paper furnace to burn the paper, and the table paper was as much as he wanted, followed by a string of firecrackers. Han Yue'e inserted the incense into the large copper furnace in front of her, and then took Zhang Taiji to kneel in front of the three Tianzun statues, and began to pray silently, saying the wishes in her heart. Zhang Taiji painted a scoop according to the gourd, and after bowing according to Han Yue'e's appearance, he faced the statues of the three Tianzun, and silently said his wishes.

How much Zhang Taiji has reverence for the three Heavenly Venerables, that may not be. It's just to follow the local customs, maintain a kind of reverence for the unknown; I like and identify with Taoist thought that has influenced China for thousands of years.

Taoism is a religion, and religions are all established to satisfy people's ultimate care needs for the spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to have specific spiritual sustenance such as Taishang Laojun, Shakyamuni Buddha, God Jesus, and the true god Allah. Taoism, on the other hand, advocates nature, has elements of dialectics and atheistic tendencies, advocates quiet and inaction, and opposes struggle; Advocate the Tao of nature, all-encompassing, natural inaction, and harmony with nature. It points out a way of thinking for people to understand everything in the world.

Zhang Taiji is very much in agreement with many views of Taoist thought. For example, Zhang Taiji was reborn, why didn't he go to cultivate immortals and seek immortality? Because he didn't meet the immortals, he didn't get the anti-heaven exercises...... His advantage is hundreds of years of knowledge. Understand historical trends; Understand the direction of science and technology; Knowing what the people want, it is easier to make a difference by making good use of these advantages. Giving up these advantages in pursuit of ethereal immortality? That's unwise! This is the Taoist idea of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and going with the flow!

Zhang Taiji knelt in front of the statue of Tianzun and thought about life, and unconsciously more than an hour had passed! After Han Yue'e finished praying herself, and instructed the other children to burn incense and pray, she saw Zhang Taiji still kneeling there, her eyes forced to move, and she suddenly remembered something! I thought to myself, "This kid won't be possessed by the gods again!" How good is that? Zhang Taiji's friends also thought of this, and they all seemed a little flustered and overwhelmed! The Taoist priest also noticed Zhang Taiji's strange appearance, and saw that everyone's expressions were not quite right, so he hurriedly asked Han Yue'e the reason. Han Yue'e felt that there was no need to hide it, so she told Zhang Taiji that he was possessed by Maitreya Buddha in the Maitreya Buddha Hall. Although Han Yue'e didn't see it with her own eyes, this incident went crazy in Jiaoxi City. As Zhang Taiji's mother, she naturally knows it clearly. The Taoist priest listened to what Han Yue'e said, and knew that this time was extraordinary, so he hurriedly told the hall master of the Sanqing Palace, and the hall master also felt that this matter was strange and passed it to the palace master of the Taiqing Palace. Not long after, the three layers of the outside of the Sanqing Hall are surrounded by outsiders. Zhang Taiji woke up from the fugue and saw so many people looking at him, his face was full of embarrassment, and he sighed in his heart: "Have you pretended to be a god stick into a habit, and behave differently at every turn!" I didn't have a deliberate performance this time! How could you lose your mind for so long? Don't......??? Three Heavenly Venerable Manifestations?? Impossible, right? "Shake your head, put aside these distractions, or think about how to face the people in front of you first!?

Everyone saw that Zhang Taiji had finished his state, and one person headed by him, with a childish face, wearing a wide robe, holding a whisk in his hand, slowly walked into the Sanqing Palace, and respectfully bowed in front of the statue of Tianzun. Thanks to the three Heavenly Venerables for their manifestation and enlightenment. After saying that, he bowed again and stood up. He smiled at Zhang Taiji slightly, and said with one hand: "Little Taoist friends are merciful." Zhang Taiji looked at this Taoist priest, his hair was white, and the fairy wind and bones were quite dusty! Knowing that this person was not ordinary, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The Taoist chief doesn't need to be polite, if you have something to say, please speak in person." The Taoist priest nodded slightly and asked, "Did Daoist friend realize just now?" ”

Zhang Taiji said: "This Taoist priest is also a wonderful person! He just knelt there for a moment, and then he asked himself what he realized? No matter what you say, the auspiciousness of the Heavenly Venerable Manifestation and enlightenment of the world cannot run! It's really an old man, this bull's nose is not simple! ”

With a sharp turn of thought, Zhang Taiji made a decision, and immediately replied: "I had a dream just now, wait for me to take a pen and paper and record it in detail, so as not to make any omissions." The Taoist priest nodded approvingly when he heard this, and instructed the little Taoist boy to quickly fetch pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and carry it over a low table. Zhang Taiji did not hesitate, stepped forward to pick up the pen, splashed ink, and sprinkled a splendid article out. The people around all gathered to watch, and some whispered out, "There is a king in the city, Xingqi, so the family." Less adventurism, Wen Lao Mountain is full of immortals, and he travels to the .................. It is said that the world is big, and it can be done in this way, and it will not touch the hard wall and will not stop bumping. "The whole article is done in one go, and it is the story I told to my friends last night. There's no way, Zhang Taiji wasn't ready to pretend to be a ghost here! can only take this "Laoshan Taoist" to fill the number, but it is also appropriate. It's just a pity that Pu Songling in later generations has one less good work.

Seeing that Zhang Taiji could make such an article casually, everyone was amazed! No matter how long the content list is, it is something that ordinary people can write casually. Everyone couldn't help but think that it was the Heavenly Venerable Manifestation in their hearts. There are even more well-informed pilgrims, so they opened their mouths and asked: "Xiaoyou is Zhang Taiji, the prodigy of Jiaoxi City?" ”
