Yang Ke climbed the stairs and followed the Taoist aunt into the nameless nunnery, which looked inconspicuous on the outside, but there was a hole inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taoism worships Lao Tzu as its ancestor and is known as "Taishang Laojun", which began in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty and was gradually formed on the basis of ancient Chinese religious beliefs and religious concepts and practice methods such as Fang Shi and Huang Lao Doctrine. Taoism is a polytheistic religion, that is, Taoist believers often worship many gods. In Yang Ke's memory, there are two main sects of Taoism, with Zhang Daoling founded the Heavenly Master Taoist Zhengyi faction, heavy Fu Jing confession, do not taboo food and drink, Zhengyi Taoist priests are divided into monk Taoist priests and Taoist priests at home, Taoist priests at home can start a family, so some people call it "fire Taoist priest". The Quanzhen School founded by Wang Chongyang paid more attention to practice and preaching. The Quanzhen sect of Taoist priests must also live in temples, eat vegetarian food and be celibate, but the Quanzhen sect was born in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, so there was only one sect of Taoism at this time.

It is rumored that in the Han Bashu area, the original Ba people believed in primitive witchcraft, and large-scale obscenity harmed the people. And these magic wizards who worship ghosts and demons gather people to collect money and do all kinds of evil. Zhang Tianshi, together with Wang Chang, Zhao Sheng's two disciples, and the Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Danjing, came to Beibi Mountain to practice and pacify the Lich Sect that plagued the people. The story of Zhang Tianshi's sword seal and ghost soldiers in Taishang Laojun that circulated in Sichuan and Chongqing is based on this. Since then, Taoism began to flourish and spread, and the believers who joined at that time had to produce five buckets of rice, so some people called it five buckets of rice. Zhang Daoling's grandson Zhang Lu established a **** secession regime in Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms melee in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and implemented some social and sectarian ideas of Zhengyi, for example, for those who committed crimes, they were not punished severely, but forgiven three times and then punished, and the punishment was relatively light, generally let him go to build roads. At the same time, a righteous house is set up on the road, and rice and meat are placed in it, so that passers-by can eat it. These measures have created a relatively relaxed ruling environment for the people in the midst of the great chaos in the world, so they have been supported by the local Han and ethnic minority masses. After the return of the Three Kingdoms to Wei, the secessionist regime ceased to exist, but Taoism was preserved and spread throughout China.

There are no more than two kinds of Taoist architectural regulations, one is the layout that progresses forward and backward according to the central axis, and the left and right balances and symmetrically unfolds, which is also the pattern exclusive to the Zhengyi school. The second is the five-element gossip layout, the Thunder God Temple, Tianyi Pool, Dragon and Tiger Palace, Hanxing Pool, Wang You Tomb, Zhan Biyun Tomb, Yanjiao Palace, Feixiantai surround the middle Danjing and Dan furnace, and the surrounding area is arranged one by one according to the direction of the eight trigrams. Its north-south central axis is particularly long, and all other buildings are spread out at both ends of this central axis, which is a reflection of the Taoist Neidan school of taking the small universe of the human body corresponding to the large universe of nature, and synchronously coordinating the cultivation of the idea of "essence and spirit". It is the typical pattern of the Quanzhen sect.

And this nameless nunnery is, of course, the first layout structure, the front is the main hall, the two sides are the Lingguan, Wenchang Palace, along the main road and up, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Sanqing Palace, the Four Imperial Palaces are actually a lot, the pine and cypress are covered in the meantime, the mist in the incense burner is shrouded, the end is the cave heaven and blessed land, there is Qiankun inside, there are many female disciples shuttling and busy, well organized. Yang Ke has been here for several days, but he has not seen the incense burning, on the contrary, the believers are extinct, but looking at the prosperity here, what kind of offerings can have this scale? After a little contemplation, Yang Ke suddenly realized that the prosperity of metaphysics in the Jin Dynasty was in the same vein as Taoism, and the clans such as the Lang Evil Wang Clan, the Lanling Xiao Clan, the Gaoping Xi Clan, the Qinghe Cui Clan, and the Jingzhao Wei Clan were all Taoist families, so it is possible that this nameless nunnery without believers is not the family view of the big clan.

The Taoist aunt who greeted the guests led Yang Ke to the door of the main hall, and turned around without looking back, Yang Ke had learned her maverick behavior in the past few days, and he didn't care, and raised his legs and stepped into the main hall, although it was daytime in the hall, the light was not bright, with the light and shade of the candle flame, Yang Ke's eyes took a moment to get used to it, on the side of the statue of Daozun, there was a white-haired Taoist aunt, holding a Taoist bun high, a Taoist robe was clean and clean, it looked ordinary, but the workmanship was obviously very exquisite. That Dao Gu was also expressionless, she couldn't even tell her age, and was looking at Yang Ke coldly on the side.

Yang Ke's heart flashed, and he knew in his heart that this might be the first level he had to pass, he dusted off his clothes, and knelt down respectfully at the statue. The gift has been completed, Yang Ke just stood up, and before he could speak, a soft nail touched it: "Although the nameless nunnery is nameless, it is not subject to the nameless gift, Yang Hou's offering to the poor Dao heart has been received, please bring the original back." ”

Yang Ke heard two meanings from her cold words, the first layer was that this Dao Gu obviously knew her identity, otherwise why would she break her title identity in one sentence. The second layer is a pun, which is not only rejecting his own gifts, but also seems to be saying that he is a person who does not believe in Shinto, no matter what it means, the temple is worshiped by incense, and it is rare to see a Taoist who does not accept offerings, so this host is a bit unusual.

"Under the surname Yang Mingke, but a believer, how dare he use the common name of Juelu to pollute the purity of the master's place." Yang Ke bowed respectfully to Dao Gu, holding his right hand with his left hand, bearing yin and yang, containing the five elements, pinching the meridian recipe inside, and presenting a Taiji diagram outside. The Dao Gu couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw Yang Ke's posture of saluting, if it weren't for the believers, obviously there would not be such a standard Taoist etiquette, but this look swept by: "You claim to be a believer, but as far as the poor Dao knows, if you go to metaphysics and suppress the Taoist sect, what Yang Hou does is the opposite." ”

Yang Ke remained silent and did not defend himself, but politely asked a question: "Dare to ask the master's honorable number?" ”

Although that Dao Gu looked arrogant, she was a little helpless about Yang Ke's politeness from beginning to end, but her answer was still cold: "Wei Huacun." ”

Yang Ke was quiet on the surface, at that time he had a calm personality, and since the crossing, Taoguang has been obscure, and the hypocrisy has been cultivated to a higher level. Therefore, he also had to practice his ability to pretend to be forced. After hearing Daogu's self-registration number, Yang Ke's heart flashed a lightning bolt, which can only be described in four words, that is, "thunder is rolling".

Seeing Yang Ke looking at him with a faint smile on his face, but not saying a word, Dao Gu coughed lightly, and Yang Ke came back to his senses, but there was still no trace on his face.
