At noon, when we reach the peak, we suddenly see a side hall, which is different from the temple we have seen along the way, this hall has no name, no inscription introduction, and it is completely different from those buildings that have been repaired by modern means, this not grand side hall is completely the kind of real monument that has been washed by a long history and completely preserved.

I was immediately attracted by this side hall, and saw that the door of the hall was wide open, and there was no sign prohibiting entry, so I called the Taoist priest and Lin Qiao'er, wanting to enter and have a look.

In fact, as long as I take a closer look at this time, I will find that the situation is not appropriate, such a dazzling ancient temple stands on the edge of the road that tourists must pass through, how can there be no curious people to enter?

The Tao is natural, perhaps it is because of the infection of the indisputable aura that is born in this place, the three of them are not even defenseless, but the old turtle on my shoulder let out a strange laugh when we walked into the temple gate.

Although I felt strange, my feet had already stepped into it by this time, and it was too late to ask more questions.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, I was greeted by a huge incense burner, which was burning with the fragrance of more than three people high, and at the same time we immediately smelled a sandalwood fragrance, the smell was very soft and natural, the smell made the muscles of the whole body relax, and the mood became calm, and the body was light as if it was going to float away immediately, leaving this troubled world, this feeling was really wonderful.

At this time, I suddenly had a thought, that is, from now on, I will settle here, and always accompany the fragrance of this ancient temple until it soars away.

Not only me, but also the doctor and Lin Qiao'er's faces showed intoxicated expressions, and they flew away, and just when we were all immersed in this beautiful feeling, a vulgar voice sounded in our ears: "Ah, bah......"

The old turtle on my shoulder suddenly spit loudly on the ground, and the fairy feeling we felt was suddenly broken by the spitting sound, and the feeling was as if it had suddenly fallen from the clouds to the ground, and it was like a beautiful dream that suddenly woke up, not to mention the regret in my heart.

We all glared at the old turtle, and Lin Qiao'er complained: "You said you, why are you so uncivilized, this is a scenic spot, a scenic spot, how can you spit?" Alas, what a beautiful artistic conception, it's a pity to be ruined like this. ”

I'd love to count the old turtle too, but I've learned about its domineering and unreasonableness these days, but it's a gentleman for girls.

Sure enough, in the face of Lin Qiaoer's accusation, the old turtle did not bite violently, nor did he spit dirty words, but just snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, it's a pity, it's not you who should say it's a pity, it should be the people inside, a group of stupid hats." ”

The people inside? We were all stunned, and then we heard a burst of clear laughter coming from the closed inner hall in front of the incense burner: "Haha, I don't know which Taoist brother is coming to contempt?" Forgive me for not being able to welcome you far away, disrespectful, disrespectful, please come in and talk about it. ”

As soon as the voice fell, I saw the closed door in front of the incense burner suddenly open.

We were so confused by this sudden turn of events that we were a little confused for a while, but the old turtle lowered his head at this time, leaned into my ear and whispered, "Boy, be smart, beware of being played like a monkey." ”

After saying that, it closed its mouth and said no more, just gave me a look and let me in.

The three of us looked at each other, because we didn't know what was going on inside, and we were a little hesitant for a while, but after thinking about it, this is Maoshan Mountain, a place where the whole world gathers and righteousness, I'm afraid of a ball!

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath, straightened my back, and stepped inside.

The scent of sandalwood just now was not from the three-pillar incense burner, and when I walked to the door, I was sure that the fragrance came from inside the house.

Walking into the door, the first thing that caught my eye was the three solemn statues enshrined in the middle of the hall, although I didn't recognize it, but based on the information I got before, it was not difficult to speculate that the statues of these three immortal wind bones were the ancestors of Maoshan - Sanmao Zhenjun.

On the futon in front of the platform, an old man with gray hair, combed a bun, and dressed in a blue Taoist robe is meditating cross-legged, with white silk falling from the dust in one hand and bowing to his chest with the other hand.

I took a closer look at the old man, and saw that his eyebrows were all gray, and his beard under his chin was three or four inches, the same color as his eyebrows, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, and his eyebrows were kind, and his age should be about seventy or eighty years old, if it weren't for the gray color of his hair, I would have thought he was over a hundred years old.

Seeing him like this, I secretly thought in my heart, this person is so old, with an ethereal temperament, any Taoist priest I have met before is unfathomable, if he belongs to the Maoshan Sect, his seniority must be higher than Yuan Daojun, in front of this kind of senior master, you must be careful.

I didn't understand the etiquette between Taoist priests, so I randomly learned the practice on TV, folded my hands and waved at the old Tao, and shouted: "Hello Taoist!" ”

Lin Qiao'er and the doctor also followed me to salute Lao Dao, Lao Dao smiled and nodded at me, his eyes quickly looked at the three of us, and finally fixed on the old turtle on my shoulder.

I saw his gaze suddenly condensed, but this solemnity was only fleeting, but in the blink of an eye, he had already withdrawn his gaze, looked at us and smiled heartily: "Three donors, since they come, it is fate, please ......"

As he spoke, he swept the dust in his hand, and the neatly placed futons on both sides of the platform suddenly slipped out of four, just stopping next to the three of us.

My face remained unchanged, but I was secretly scolding in my heart, the old turtle said well, this old Taoist priest is really not a good type, although he looks kind and kind, but as soon as he came up, he gave us a dismount, but although the technique of controlling things in the air is subtle, it is not to the point where I am shocked, you must know that I and the doctor have both witnessed the art of Yan Wudao's sword, and compared with the sword, this technique of controlling the futon in the air is really not very good.

The doctor and I both sat down cross-legged as usual, but Lin Qiao'er was different, her eyes flashed with little stars like a curious baby, and she clapped her hands excitedly.

Regarding the performance of me and the doctor, Lao Dao showed a slight surprise on his face, and looked at us again, and then said to Lin Qiao'er with a smile: "Female donor, please sit down!" ”

After Lin Qiao'er sat down, I found that there was a futon beside me, I couldn't help but be stunned, looked up, but found that Lao Dao was looking at the old turtle, Lao Dao's expression slowly changed from indifferent at the beginning to shock, and then his body was shocked violently.

The car had stopped, the Taoist priest looked at me in a cold sweat, his face was a little strange, and asked me if I was having a nightmare, I nodded, and found that the people in the car were starting to go down, so I asked the Taoist priest if he had arrived on the ground?

The Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said that it was still early, the car had arrived, but we still had to take the train for several hours to get to Jurong.

Without saying a word, we braved the cold wind of the night and boarded the train, and spent the rest of the day in a half-asleep and dazed state, and finally the train arrived at the station at about eight o'clock the next morning.

After a long day and a night's work, we were not in good spirits, and the temperature was very cold on a winter morning, so the only thought left in our minds after leaving the station was to find a hotel to stay in first.

The hotel has been booked before we came, next to the scenic spot, after arriving at the place, we also eased up, so we were not in a hurry to check in, first in the nearby stall to eat a bowl of special pot cover noodles, the body warmed up, and then lived in.

It was the middle of winter, not the peak tourist season, although there were not many people coming and going, but the Taoist priest said that today is not the time to go up the mountain, let us rest for a day or two.

Although we felt strange, we still listened to the Taoist priest's words and basically rested in our rooms that day.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, opened the door and looked, and found that it was Lin Qiao'er who was fully armed, she was already dressed neatly, with a camera around her neck, her pretty face was flushed, and she said excitedly when she saw me: "Oh, why haven't you gotten up yet, hurry up, after washing, let's go out to play." ”

I wondered in my heart and asked her, "Didn't the Taoist priest say yesterday that it was not time yet, let's rest for a day or two?" Why are you going out today? ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiao'er immediately rolled her eyes: "You are stupid, what the stinky Taoist priest said is that it is not the right time to go up the mountain, but we are just going to the scenic spot, it is rare to get here, what a pity not to take a look?" ”

As he spoke, the door of the Taoist priest's room also opened, and he poked his head out of his head, as if he wanted to see the situation outside, but our rooms were all connected, and this time it happened to be a positive touch.

I was surprised and asked, "I said, why do you act like a thief, and you want to do something unseemly behind our backs?" ”

"Shhh......h

I saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he should have sneaked out without the old turtle, and I was immediately relieved. Sure enough, after the door was closed, the Taoist priest scolded with a wry smile: "Damn, that old Wang Ba is too bullying, such a big bed, it was stunned that it was all occupied by one person, and drove the Taoist to the ground, sleeping on the floor all night, if it weren't for the Taoist master's good health, he would definitely catch a cold when he got up this morning, and he knew that he shouldn't have given it an invisibility charm on the train at that time, and let it be arrested by security." ”

After listening to the Taoist priest's words, I patted him on the shoulder to show my deep sympathy.

"Leave that turtle alone, you came out just in time, so you don't have to knock on your door!" Lin Qiao'er looked at the Taoist priest and said with a smile, the Taoist priest looked at us suspiciously, I told him Lin Qiao'er's plan, and I happened to ask for his opinion.

After hearing this, the Taoist priest just nodded, and did not object, but warned me: "Sightseeing is okay, but you must not go to those forbidden areas, otherwise it will be very troublesome after falling into the maze, and it will also attract the attention of Maoshan, your kid's identity is very special, if you are recognized, it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

As soon as I heard his tone, it seemed that he didn't plan to go out with us, so I hurriedly asked, "Why, aren't you going with us?" ”

The Taoist priest's face showed a hint of strangeness, and in a flash, he waved his hand and said that he would not go, and he had other things to do.

Lin Qiaoer and I looked at each other, and always felt that the Taoist priest was a little strange today, but since he didn't want to say it, we couldn't get to the bottom of it, after all, people also have privacy, so we went with him.

When I finished washing, it was almost half past eight, just the time to eat breakfast, although the Taoist priest said that he would not go to the scenic spot, but he still had to eat breakfast, so I went to knock on the door of his room.

I knocked for a long time and no one opened the door, and the Taoist priest came from the room with an ugly scolding voice: "Early in the morning, knock on a fart, dead or what?" ”

Several people looked at each other and were silent.

The Taoist priest was not in the room, apparently he didn't come back in the morning, and we didn't think much of it, just as he went to do what he said.

I looked at the old turtle lying on my shoulder, and sighed in my heart, I knew that the Taoist priest was not there, so I wouldn't knock on the door, now it's okay, provoke an uncle out of thin air, but fortunately, this guy still gives face, and he didn't lie on his head again, otherwise a turtle on his head will go to visit the scenic spot, and I would rather shrink in the room and sleep.

After breakfast, we set off.

Outside the scenic spot, looking at the ticket price announced in the ticket hall, I was speechless for a while, who would have thought that the blessed land of Daomen would become a tourist attraction with high ticket prices?

Speaking of Maoshan, it actually does not only exist in the Shangqing Maoshan faction, Quanzhen, Zhengyi and many other Taoist sects also coexist here, and in the Yuan Dynasty, the original parallel in the south of the Yangtze River Tianshi, Shangqing, Lingbao and other Taoist schools gradually merged, merged into the Zhengyi faction dominated by Fu Zheng. Since then, Maoshan has become a dojo dominated by Zhengyi, but its doctrine and pedigree are still passed down according to the Shangqing school.

Therefore, the so-called Maoshan Taoism is actually a huge system, and it is not limited to the Maoshan sect.

I'm not interested in the so-called monuments, which are mostly restored and have long since lost their original antiquity.

There are many scenic spots on the mountain, in addition to the Taoist temple that was repaired later, there are nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six holes, the scenic spot of twenty-eight pools, the peaks and peaks are stacked, the clouds and mist are swirling, the climate is pleasant, the strange rocks and strange stones on the mountain stand densely, the large and small karst caves are deep and secluded, the holy pond of the spiritual spring is dotted all over the place, the winding streams are criss-crossed and intertwined, the green trees cover the mountain, the green bamboo is luxuriant, the treasure of the heavens. Compared with those nondescript ancient buildings, the natural beauty on the mountain is more intoxicating, and it is worthy of being blessed with a blessed place for cultivation.

Lin Qiaoer had a lot of fun, I took pictures everywhere, and the doctor was responsible for accompanying her, and the relaxed and leisurely atmosphere also completely relaxed the tense nerves during this period of time.

There are not many people who go up the mountain in this season, and in some Taoist temples, you can still see Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and holding Taoist buns cleaning, and I don't know if these are real Taoist priests.
