Volume 5 The Qilin Offering Seal Chapter 5 The Seven Killing Monuments

Starting from the opening of the old meeting, after nearly half a decade of preparation, the group of people drove from Emei Mountain. Paid homage to the Fuxian Master, by the way on the Mount Emei on the golden top of the Zen, the Great West to Buddhism as the state religion of the common practice. All this is just dispensable for Bingzhong. In fact, the most important thing is that the cultivation and harvest of this rich land of fish and rice in Sichuan and Shu is the most important thing for Bingzhong to continue to worry about from his heart, because he knows that the people of the world are dependent on the food that reaches their mouths, and they will not pay attention to any doctrine and national policy at all. Now, everyone rebelled and revolted with him, all for the sake of filling their stomachs, and where there would be any ideals and ambitions, just to be able to fill their stomachs and wrap themselves in warm clothes.

When he started to walk down the golden roof, some people had already begun to talk about the story of Qingcheng Mountain to Bingzhong. I only heard Shangshu Gong Wanjing's babbling sermon: Buddhism is the good of the family, and my king should see the gods when he sees the monks?

Walking down the elephant washing pool, Bingzhong couldn't listen to Gong Wanjing's chatter, so he had to nod and say: Gong Aiqing, there is no need to say more. After the king listened to the Fa here, he went to the Qingcheng Mountains. Then you will speak one or two more for this king.

Walked about a stick of incense time, finally came to the foot of Mount Emei, the right Shangshu Gong Wanjing said: This Qingcheng Mountain peaks are surrounded by undulating, verdant forests, enjoy the beauty of "Qingcheng world". Qingcheng Mountain has a long history, is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and is the fifth cave of the top ten Taoist caves in the country. There are many places of interest and historic sites in Qingcheng Mountain, the ancient buildings have their own characteristics, the poems and paintings of ancient and modern celebrities can be seen everywhere, there are beautiful scenery and magical legends. The whole mountain palace view takes Tianshi Cave as the core, and there are Jianfu Palace, Shangqing Palace, Patriarch Palace, Yuanming Palace, Yuqing Palace, Chaoyang Cave and so on. Since ancient times, Qingcheng Mountain has been a place for literati and ink writers to visit and practice in seclusion, and was known as "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" and "Immortal Metropolis" in ancient times. Qingcheng Mountain has many names in history, and it was once called "Wenshan", "Tiangu Mountain", "Dushan Mountain", "Zhangren Mountain", "Chicheng Mountain", "Qingchengdu", "Tianguo Mountain" and so on. Mount Qingcheng is known as the "fifth mountain in the world". Qingcheng Mountain has a long history, it is said that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has Ning Fengzi from time to time, lives in Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate, once taught the Yellow Emperor the "dragon Ji technique" of the wind and clouds, the Yellow Emperor built an altar to worship it as "the five mountains of Zhangren", so later generations also called Qingcheng Mountain as Zhangren Mountain, and built a view (Zhangren Temple) to commemorate. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals in Shu", entered Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate. But it was Zhang Ling who really established the status of Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain. In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he entered Heming Mountain (now in Dayi County, Chengdu) to cultivate the Tao and founded the Wudou Rice Dao, that is, the Heavenly Master Dao. Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain belong to the ancient Minshan Mountain Range, Zhang Ling was the first to come to Qingcheng Mountain from Heming Mountain to preach, and feathered in the mountain. In the second year of Han'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, two years after writing the 24 Taoist books, Zhang Ling arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, where he preached and founded China's native religion - Taoism, making Qingcheng Mountain the first of the four famous mountains in China. During the Tang and Song dynasties, while absorbing foreign martial arts, Qingcheng martial arts blended with Dandao, natural Bigu, Yixue and medicine to form a unique and complete system, becoming one of the four major schools of martial arts.

Due to the special support of the Sui and Tang rulers for Taoism, Qingcheng Mountain during this period was really the "house of the immortal capital". During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Taoism flourished, and the Qingcheng mountain palace was all over the place, and high Taoism emerged one after another. After the Tianbao Rebellion, the Central Plains was restless, and Tang Xuanzong and Xizong successively took refuge in Shu. Tang Xi Zong ordered Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate the Lingbao Dojo Zhou Tian Dajiao, and set up 2,400 Jiao positions. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, some famous figures of Daomen also went in and out of Shuzhong, such as Peng Xiao, Chen Luan, etc., who had traveled to Qingcheng Mountain, Du Guangting, Tan Qiao, etc., all died in Qingcheng Mountain. Among them, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist priest of the fifth generation in the late Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Baiyunxi in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, and sorted out and wrote a large number of Taoist books. Later generations built "Du Guangting Reading Desk" on the bank of Baiyun Creek for people to hang on. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Taoist priest Du Guangting came to Qingcheng Mountain, and the tradition of the Heavenly Master Tao was combined with the Shangqing Dao. Shangqing Dao claims that cultivating the Tao can ascend to the "Shangqing Heaven", which is higher than the ideal "Taiqing Realm" of the old Heavenly Master Dao. Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of the Northern Song Dynasty, once came here to worship, and re-established the Taoist lineage of the Heavenly Master in the Changdao Temple. In the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You once came here to write poems: "There is still a reading platform in the mountains, and the wind sweeps away the barriers of Qinglan's painting." Huayue curling is still there, when will Qinglian Monk come. Zhang Suqing, a Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain who was at the same time as Du Guangting, was a painter of the fifth dynasty in the late Tang Dynasty and was famous for his paintings on Taoist themes. The founding of the Ming Dynasty, Qingcheng Mountain Taoism belongs to the Longmen sect of Quanzhen Dao.

Qingcheng Mountain is divided into front and back mountains. The front mountain is the main part of the scenery of Qingcheng Mountain, the scenery is beautiful, there are many cultural relics and historic sites, the main scenic spots are Jianfu Palace, natural pictures, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave, Patriarch Palace, Shangqing Palace, etc.; Since ancient times, people have used the word "secluded" to summarize the characteristics of Qingcheng Mountain. Qingcheng Mountain is empty and green, and the peaks, valleys, and palaces are all reflected in the lush and verdant forests. The Taoist pavilion is made of natural materials, without fake carving, and integrates with the mountains, forests, rocks and springs, reflecting the Taoist style of advocating simplicity and nature. There are also three natural wonders of sunrise, sea of clouds and holy lamps that can be called the characteristics of Qingcheng Mountain. Among them, the holy lamp (also known as the magic lamp) is particularly peculiar. Shangqing Palace is the best place to see the holy lanterns. Every summer day when the weather is sunny after the rain, after nightfall, you can see the bright spots in the mountain in the holy lantern pavilion near the Shangqing Palace, flickering and drifting, less than three or five lamps, suddenly born and disappearing, more than hundreds of thousands, the valley is as bright as a star for a while. Legend has it that the lantern lit by the gods of Qingcheng Mountain, the "capital of the gods", when they greeted Zhang Tianshi, is called the holy lamp. In fact, this is just a natural sight of phosphorus oxidation and burning in the mountains. Jianfu Palace is located at the foot of Zhangren Peak. It was built in the eighteenth year of Tang Kaiyuan, and has been repaired many times after generations, and now only two halls and three courtyards remain. The existing hall is threefold, enshrine Taoist celebrities and gods respectively, the couplet of 394 words on the pillar in the hall is praised as "a unique Qingcheng". Jianfu Palace is built under the cliff, and the bearing is extraordinary. On its left side is the ruins of the princess of Mingqing Mansion, two miles to the west, that is, to the rock towering, the "natural picture" of clouds and mist. The Song Dynasty poet Fan Da once prayed for the Song Emperor here, and the emperor specially named it "Huiqing Jianfu Palace". The poet Lu You has a poem describing that at that time, it was indeed good to build a Fu Palace, which was "the golden seal book list of the golden gate, and the giant bamboo tun cangyun in the middle of the road." The rock ridge is divided like heaven and earth, and thousands of pillars are in its place", and there are ancient wooden rockeries, Weixin Pavilion, the dressing table ruins of Princess Fu of Ming Qing Fu in the palace, as well as cultural relics such as murals and couplets. The natural picture workshop is located on the ridge of the archway gang of Longju Mountain, the scenery here is beautiful, and visitors seem to be in the painting here, so it is called "natural picture". The natural picture is located between the Jianfu Palace and the Tianshi Cave, and the two peaks are sandwiched. Visitors come here, you can see the pavilion standing between the cliff and the green shade, such as being in the painting. Behind the pavilion is often a flock of cranes, standing in the crane village between the mountains; there is a horizontal stone lying on the cliff between the two mountains on the right, it is called "Tianxian Bridge", it is said to be the place where the immortals gather and play, the most famous is the Laojun Pavilion.

The upper circle below means that the sky is round and the place is round; there are octagonal layers to show the eight trigrams; the appearance is tower-shaped, and the top is connected with three round treasures, which means to show the three talents of heaven, earth and man. The Laojun Pavilion complex includes Donghua Hall and other places.

This Qingcheng has "four uniques", a unique "Dongtian tribute tea", Shuzhou Weijiang in the Tang Dynasty is one of the seven major tea-producing areas in China. In the Song Dynasty, Qingcheng's "purple-backed dragon buds" and "white-backed dragon buds" were listed as tributes.

After that, the medicine king Sun Simiao lived in Qingcheng, and then Chuanxiong, so Qingcheng Taoists have many delicacies since ancient times.

That Gong Wanjing is also a person who observes words and emotions in the palace of Princess Shu, and he is bullied and oppressed. Nowadays, it is rare to be appreciated and reused by Bingzhong, and when he speaks, he is more observant of words and feelings, and he likes it. Along the way, Gong Wanjing saw that Bingzhong was not here, and he didn't dare to talk more about Huang Lao. However, because of the sealing of Zen, Bingzhong was a little interested, and Gong Wanjing had to turn the conversation to the Buddha's teachings, and by the way, he talked about the famous Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan.

When Bingzhong heard that this big Buddha was built to reduce the water potential and purify all sentient beings, his heart was filled with boundless melancholy, looking at the world in front of him couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say: All things and people are born, and people have nothing and the sky, kill! kill! kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

As soon as Bingzhong's words came out, the faces of those who heard it changed drastically and turned pale, especially Gong Wanjing, who was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. The mouth kept nagging, the sinners died, the sinners died. When Bingzhong heard the rattling kowtow, he came back to his senses, looked down at Gong Shangshu, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Hurriedly said in his ear: Distracted, distracted!
