Chapter 25 Guo Shouzhen
After saying goodbye to Hu Botao and Huang Yunlan, I first went to Taiqing Palace to meet Wu Changhe and thank him for helping me take care of the metaphysical school. It just so happened that Li Eng was there, and I was surprised to find that in the short three months since I left, this guy has done everything.
Although it is still very shallow, I still have to admire Wu Changhe. I didn't see Li Eng's potential at all, I thought that Wu Changhe accepted him as an apprentice just to repay his father's favor.
After chatting for a while, Wu Changhe asked me about my experience, and I tried to describe a small part of it as concisely as possible. From my point of view, I didn't actually say anything, who knows that Wu Changhe is okay. When Li Eng heard that there really was an Asura Realm, the light in his eyes was like a flashlight.
In the end, Li Eng once again played the tradition of his rich second generation and invited us to go down to the restaurant to rub in the sea. During the dinner, Li Eng begged me with a hippie smile and asked me if I could bring him with me if there was such an exciting thing again.
I'm speechless, if I can't go, I don't want to go, but someone is in a hurry to think it's too little. In fact, this kind of thing is similar to marriage, I remember there is a book called Siege, which expresses this idea very well. The people outside the wall were curious about the scenery inside and desperately wanted to get in. The people on the inside miss the freedom on the outside, and they desperately want to come out.
After I was full of wine and food, Li Eng asked me if I would not leave when I came back, and said that I had a lot of experience in repairing the chain recently, and wanted to find a time to ask me for advice. I said yes with a smile, but my heart blossomed.
It's not blowing, buddy's current Taoism is not a joke. His idea is like a child who has studied taekwondo for half a year, looking for a boxing champion to compete, and I am afraid that he will be beaten out.
Wu Changhe was still careful, he asked me: "There are two girls sitting in your store now, right?" We know what's going on, outsiders don't know, are you looking for a house? ”
Before I could answer, Li Eng patted his chest and said to me, "Brother, you don't have a place to live?" It's a trivial matter, I have a lot of houses, I'll find you a finely decorated one. ”
But pull it down, I'll live alone in a fine decoration. Besides, his dad gave me the store for nothing, and I helped deal with a little bit of things in return. But now that more than half a year has passed, that man's hands are short and his mouth is soft.
"No need, I've already settled where to live." I smiled, then leaned over to Li Eng and said, "Well, our brothers have nothing to do with each other." If there is a problem with your funeral home or a dragon, don't bother your master, after all, his age is there. Come to me directly, or go to the Xuanxue Hall to find my immortal family. ”
Li Eng is not a fool, he immediately gave me a blank look after hearing what I said, pouted and said to me: "I said that you don't have such a narrow heart, you saved my life, and if you want to repay the favor, I will pay you back." A good brotherly relationship has made you give you a whole day, really. ”
After seeing Li eng get into the taxi, I hesitated, Wu Changhe laughed and invited me to stay in Taiqing Palace for two days. I'm so happy, I'm waiting for his words.
That's what I meant when I came to him today, but I've never been embarrassed to say it. I called Lao Cui and them before, and Lao Cui told me on the phone that he and Wu Yue had all returned to their hometown for internships in advance.
It was Wu Yue who made this decision first, and the goods were originally engaged in his hometown, and he was in a hurry to go back and get married. After Wu Yue left, it didn't mean anything for Lao Cui to be alone in the dormitory, but it happened that his father hired some people in his hometown and arranged a job for him, so he also applied for an early internship.
As he spoke, Lao Cui also complained about me: "At that time, the fourth child also said that we have lived together for nearly two years after all, and it will not be too late to leave when you come back." Wu Yue and I have been waiting for you for more than a month, and if you don't leave, I won't talk about the yellow work, Wu Yue's objects will be yellow. What have you been doing in the past few months, not answering the phone, eloping? ”
Although Lao Cui's words were quite free, I still felt very uncomfortable. There is a good saying that a man has two real friendships in his life. One is a roommate in college, and the other is a comrade-in-arms who has carried qiang together.
In fact, when we were freshmen, we understood that our major was a new major, and we didn't know how we could develop in the future. But those of us who eat crabs first must be experimental fields.
Not to mention that many subjects are not perfect, even the curriculum is the same. Although it is nominally two books, it cannot catch up with the junior college in some aspects. Unless you follow the introduction of the school, even many funeral homes don't know that there is a major.
At that time, Lao Cui jokingly said to me: "Brother, you said that we should take this graduation certificate to go out to find a job, can people think that we are a fake certificate?" ”
Finally, I asked Lao Cui what kind of job he had found, and Lao Cui said to me with a wry smile: "What else can it be, enter the mortuary." I'll send you the address later, and if you don't want to live one day, come to me and burn it, and I'll paint it for you. ”
I smiled and said to him, "Pull it down, have you forgotten what I was for?" When you're gone, I'll give you a free excess. ”
Wu Changhe arranged a room for me, which is usually used for pilgrims to stay overnight. When I finished calling, there was a knock on the door, and a small Taoist priest came, saying that he was inviting me to have an evening fast.
I asked him curiously, do Taoist priests also have dinner? The little Taoist priest said to me with a curious face, why can't the Taoist priest eat dinner? I was immediately embarrassed, I thought that Taoist priests were like monks, who didn't eat for lunch.
When I came to the door of the dining hall, the Taoist priests lined up neatly, as if they were doing some ritual. An old Taoist puts a bowl of rice in a small dish, the scripture master stands aside, while knocking out the sutra while chanting, all the Taoist priests follow him to recite the offering mantra and fasting mantra, after the mantra is finished, the old Taoist serves the plate to offer.
Taoist priests such as the prison court, Zhike, and scripture teachers withdrew from the Lent Hall, and the Taoist priests began to go in and fast. I was about to go inside, Wu Changhe turned around and beckoned to me, so I followed him out in confusion.
He led me to the backyard, which looked like a place where Taoist priests lived, but it didn't look like it. Because the smoke and fire in this area are a little thicker, it is no different from the staff dormitory.
He led me to the door of a room, knocked on it twice, and pushed it open. Inside, there were four or five people in Taoist robes, eating around a table.
These people greeted Wu Changhe one after another, and after we entered, I was dumbfounded when I saw the things on the table.
Did I rub the boiled fish? Pot-wrapped meat? What's going on? Eating fast in front and eating meat in the back, or in the Taoist temple, this is a bit too ridiculous, right?
Wu Changhe told me to let me eat with this group, and turned around to leave. Although I also want to eat some meat, I still feel a little bad in the Taoist temple, and I can't leave it for the whole walk.
When Wu Changhe saw me like this, he smiled and said to me: "Our Taiqing Palace is a group Taoist temple, and there are two kinds of Quanzhen faction and Zhengyi faction. The Quanzhen Taoist priest is a monk, does not marry, is a vegetarian, and lives in a Taoist temple. A Taoist priest can get married and eat meat. Most of them are non-monks, also known as Huoju Taoists, and a small number are monks. ”
"Senior brother here, in addition to the Zhengyi Fire Dwelling Taoist priests, there are many workers in the temple, I know you are not used to eating vegetarian food, so you can partner with them."
It seems that although I have not read much Taoist scriptures, I still know too little about the life of a real Taoist priest. I have to say that Wu Changhe is quite caring.
Wu Changhe, who walked to the door, thought about it and said to me: "There is a curfew after nine o'clock in the temple, there should be a while after you finish eating, and you can put incense on each hall if you have nothing to do, and it can be regarded as a relationship with the heavenly immortals." ”
After Wu Changhe left, these senior brothers were very enthusiastic, prepared dishes and chopsticks for me and made a stool. A few over-enthusiastic people pulled out spicy strips and beer from their beds and asked me if I wanted to drink some.
To be honest, although Wu Changhe's explanation, I still think that it is strange for Taoist priests to drink wine and eat meat.
After eating, it was less than eight o'clock, and the Huoju Taoist priests all went to sleep, and the monks did evening classes in the Sanqing Palace. There were bursts of bells and chimes in the main hall, as well as the sound of Taoist priests chanting. It should be the "Taishang Xuanmen Morning and Evening Altar Merit Sutra".
Since Wu Changhe said that I should put on incense, it means that he allowed me to wander around. It happened that I was nervous for several days, and at this time I listened to the sound of the Taoist priests' evening classes, and visited the Taoist temple at night. Don't say it, don't have a taste, as if your heart has calmed down.
I simply walked to the foot of the mountain with a tourist mentality, and then walked up from the bottom. I've been in Shenyang for so long, and I've heard about Taiqing Palace before, but I really haven't been here. The scale is really not small, not much worse than Zhengjue Temple.
I put incense on the first hall of Lingguan, and inside it was offered to Wang Lingguan and Zhao Lingguan. Wang Lingguan should be Wang Shan, this person studied under Sa Shoujian among the Four Heavenly Masters, and it was this person who first had a draw with the Great Sage in Journey to the West.
As for this Zhao Lingguan, I can't remember who it is, this statue is majestic, and he is dressed as a general. Holding a jewel in one hand, a golden whip in the other, and a black tiger riding under his crotch.
Judging from this shape, it is completely Zhao Gongming. But I don't think it should be, Zhao Gongming is rumored to be the god of martial arts, even if it is said in the gods, it is also the true monarch of the Dragon and Tiger Xuantan, how can I say that he is not a spiritual official.
Out of the Lingguan Hall next to the Guandi Palace, the Lingguan is a kind of protector god in Taoism, and Emperor Guan is also the protector god, so these two halls are generally very close to the mountain gate.
Next is the Laojun Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Sanguan Palace, and the Lu Zu Palace, I went in to take a look, and then respectfully incense one by one. There are three halls above, and the current height directly turns right to go back to the guest room, but I pondered, since I worshipped, then I can't show two to let people pick on it.
So I didn't think about it, I walked up the stone steps and found that the plaque of this hall said Qiu Zudian. Qiu Zu refers to the true monarch of Changchun Quande's deification of Bishop Mingying, that is, Qiu Chuji.
After the incense, I walked to the temple on the right, and the plaque actually said Guo Zudian. I thought about it for a long time and didn't understand who Guo Zu was, and with doubts, I pushed the door and saw that it was an ordinary Taoist statue, and there was an old lady on crutches next to it.
I still don't know who this Guo Zu is, but I think about it, who is love. I walked to the incense bucket on the side, ready to finish the incense and leave. There are only four pillars of incense in the incense barrel, three thin and one thick, how can I see the combination of incense and the incense of the sect leader when I put incense on the hall.
I pulled out three thin lights and inserted them, and after worshipping three times, I didn't know what was wrong with leaving, but the ghost sent the god to pull out the thick one, and there was a label attached below:
Guo Zu is Guo Shouzhen, and when he sees this incense, he will meet by fate.
