Not to mention, Taoism originally talks about doing the right thing for heaven and saving people from fire and water, so for Taoist people, solving problems for others and maintaining the foundation of morality for heaven and earth is the job that Taoists should do.

Therefore, in addition to the righteousness of the Great Dao, all other trivial matters are dispensable and dispensable for the Taoists, even if it is the method of worshipping the ancestors and teachers, it is not in their moral terms.

Of course, remembering the ancestors of the predecessors, this is the obligation and filial responsibility that no one will ever forget, but when you say that the dead person and his soul cannot be blessed by the premise of future generations, the ghost businessman will not abide by the old rules so much, at most he will not forget the blessings of the predecessors, and this is enough.

"But why are there still so many people who still burn paper on the graves of their deceased relatives?"

But the fat man, still can't turn this corner, he pouted his teeth, and asked the Moon Sect Master, why since ancient times, there have been such special festivals such as Qingming Chongyang?

"Feudal conservative!"

Yuebai smiled: "However, I think it's more like a kind of remembrance, after all, relatives have given you and me warmth, which is an indispensable valuable experience in a lifetime, and warm and beautiful memories, so this can't be said together, it can only be said that going to the grave to burn paper and pay tribute to relatives and friends, that is actually remembering, it is recalling the original ones, short memories, and the warmth of the past." ”

For these truths, Yuebai can't be said to be incomprehensible, since he entered the Tao, he knew that the soul of the deceased would not stay in the world, and he didn't pay much attention to formalism such as this face-to-face worship.

However, there are times when he respects this custom, after all, it is a Chinese virtue, and it is a fixed form for future generations to remember the deceased.

"Forget it, whether this is formalism or not, in short, it is of little use to us now."

After a while, Yuebai took out three long incense sticks from his backpack, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner on the incense table in the main hall.

He said: "In short, after all, we are also ghost merchants, although we have not been inherited, but our identity is also here, and these three incense sticks are a part of your heart to the sky, to the earth, to Laojun, and to the ghost business!" ”

Insert three long sticks of incense into the incense burner and let the cigarette smoke linger.

Then, Yuebai looked around the main hall again, and saw that the beams of the main hall were unattainable, and there was no ladder, so he knew that there would be no second floor here, and at the same time, he and the fat man also turned around and left, out of the main hall, thinking about where the library would be.

"In a general temple or Taoist temple, if the main hall does not have a second floor to store books, it will generally be in the backyard..."

The Great Sect Master of the Moon looked at the long corridor in front of him, this straight passage to view the gate, and said in his heart, this front is matched with the five elements of gossip, and the symmetrical central axis of yin and yang is arranged, it is estimated that in addition to the main hall, the front yard should be each wing, or a symmetrical training ground, martial arts and other areas, so, the place where the ghost merchant sect collects books, nine times out of ten, it should be in the backyard!

"But how do you get to the backyard?"

The fat man didn't understand this kind of ancient architecture, that is, a toad jumping into a well, so he asked Yuebai if he knew how to go to the back of the main hall in the environment of ancient buildings.

"Let's go down the platform first!"

As he walked, the Moon Sect Master explained to the fat man, saying that the horizontal corridor above the steps of the main hall and between the temple gate is called the platform in ordinary people's homes, and it is a correction area for tidying up clothes before going up the steps and before officially entering the house.

However, in Taoist temples or temples, this platform is actually called a corridor, and most of the corridors in temples or Taoist temples are in the style of a hollow zigzag, that is, a hollow-shaped platform set up around the four walls of the main hall.

Therefore, if you want to go to the backyard to find the library, then this hollow-shaped corridor is the best route, because no matter where you start from there, you can go to one side of the main hall to the left and right, and then you can go straight to the backyard of the temple or Taoist temple.

And that's exactly what happened.

The two of them walked along the platform, and after seeing the corner, they turned around again, and they really came to the back of the main hall, and then, Yuebai and the fat man saw the wall of the backyard and a moon door.

This ancient building, especially the combined ancient building, does not mean that all the tile houses are built in a courtyard wall, that is, such as temples and Taoist temples, they are not surrounded by a courtyard wall like ordinary people's houses.

For example, the current ghost merchant school, this ghost merchant school of Taoism, if you look down from above, it is a Lu character stuffed with all kinds of 'rules' inside.

That is to say, the main hall and the front yard in the hall corridor, the martial arts area, the left and right rockeries and flowers, and the things that take out the yin and yang tripod are all in one mouth of the word Lu, and in the other word, it is everything that the backyard should have.

And the moon gate in front of you, also called the front and back door, is the entrance through the back mouth of the word Lu, as long as you step through this door, it is the internal area of a Taoist temple, of course, some distinguished guests, can also follow the owner, or go to the backyard alone.

"There!"

The fat man's eyes were good, and the miner's lamp on his forehead shone on a wooden building on the left side of the backyard for the first time, and then he said: "The door plaque of that building says that the canonical building, it should be the library building we are looking for!" ”

"Nine times out of ten!"

Yuebai nodded undeniably, looked at the other wooden building facing the backyard gate, and said, "What is that building for?" There is also a wooden building on the right, why are there so many wooden buildings in this backyard? ”

"Who do you ask me?"

The fat man glanced at the gazebo and pond in the backyard, and guessed: "However, this backyard is also available, and those two buildings are not special rest areas for distinguished guests?" In other words, those two buildings have the same purpose as the library building! ”

"Uh... Empty guessing can't get any results, let's go to the scripture building first, if the time is early, let's go around together after we come out! ”

Yuebai took a deep breath, thinking that he would get down to business first, so he and the fat man strode along the cobblestone path in the backyard, bypassing the pond pavilion and other useless places, and walked firmly towards the scripture building.

The lattice door on the first floor of this scripture building is closed, and it is obvious that this is a very important place for the entire Taoist temple.

Although Zhufeng and the others wanted to guide the Moon Sect Master to come here to find some answers, they were still careful about the collection and the classics, and did not arrange manpower, opened the door of the building for Yuebai in advance, and waited for him to enter.

"The lock is locked!"

But when he got closer, the fat man found that on the outside of the lattice door, in the middle of the door panel, there was a modern steel ring lock, and the lock rod of this lock was still tightly closed.
