The eight gates have the open door, the door of rest, the door of life, the door of injury, the door of Du, the door of Jing, the door of death, the door of surprise, the door of 'open' is in the northwest position where the Qiangong is located; the door of 'rest' is in the north position where the palace is located; the door of 'life' is in the northeast direction where the palace is located, and the opposite of the gate of life is the door of 'death', and the door of 'death' is ranked in the southwest position of Kun Palace; the south position is the palace of departure, corresponding to the door of 'Jing'; the southeast Xun Palace is the door of 'Du', the door of 'injury' is in the direction of the earthquake palace in the east, and the door of shock is in the west of the palace.

Long Ziyan thought of a piece of gossip and eight door formulas that the old dragon king forced him to memorize when he was a child, and the gossip formulas were: "Qinglong Gan Position to Xianchi, Earthquake Xuanyuan Kun Set, Kanju Taiyi Litianyi, Tianfu Zhonggong Gen Taiyin, swaggering into the Xun Palace, remember that the eight doors are useful." ”

The eight tips are: "Leave the door to enter and exit the nobles to stay, want to sneak to the Dumen, ask for wine and food, hunt and bury the dead, catch thieves and get nine out of ten, buy and sell business, pay for debts, and marry and open the door." This is the mantra of the old dragon king.

"Dad, this time thanks to the mantra you even beat and scolded me to memorize, since the door, the door, and the birth door are all Jimen, so it's better to leave it like this." Long Ziyan pointed to the door of the three-sided array: "Little rooster, whoever you click, you can choose whoever you want, and it's good to close the door." ”

Lingsu, who was stunned on the side, pulled Long Zi's eyes and asked, "This is too casual!" ”

"Resign yourself to fate, besides, it's not dangerous to look at, besides, Lao Tzu has a spirit in the sky, and he won't kill in front of his Taoist temple, Lingsu, you just follow me and fly on it, and you're going to go out of battle."

Lingsu floated in the air, Long Ziyan groped the stone wall along the north of the Hugh Gate out of the formation, step by step did not occur danger, just as Long Zi Jing strode out of the meteor, the foot "click" thought, the stone pillars on both sides of the Hugh Gate side by side.

Long Ziyan understood that he had stepped on the mechanism, and there was no time to move forward or backward, Long Ziyan reacted quickly, and his hands and feet supported the two stone pillars that were rapidly approaching and moved upward, and the gap became smaller and smaller.

"This is to find a way to solve the formation, let's slap my face at this time, and it almost affected me."

"The method of dissolving the formation is right, it's just that I was unlucky enough to step on the mechanism in the formation, maybe the birth door and the door opening are right, it's just that I carelessly chose the wrong one, and the method of solving the formation of the eight doors is right." As soon as Long Ziyan finished explaining, one of them rolled over and slipped off the stone pillar and fell to the ground.

Lingsu sneered: "Haha, retribution is coming." ”

Long Ziyan got up and patted the dust on his body, "Hurry up and help me see which direction to go." ”

Outside the Twelve Heavenly Gate Array, there is a labyrinth surrounded by stone pillars, but this time it is not so troublesome, and the spirit elements floating in the air did not take much effort to find a way out of the labyrinth, guiding Long Ziyan out of the stone henge.

Out of the stone henge, Long Ziyan immediately got up and walked towards the stone formation around Longgang and Brother Kan, and when he was walking towards the formation according to the guidance of Lingsu, Long Zijing heard a series of footsteps and shouted: "Longgang, purple kite, is Brother Kan you?" I'm here, do you hear me? ”

"It's Brother Zijing, let's go over quickly." Purple Kite and Longgang followed the sound and walked over.

After another round of crutching, the three of them gathered again, and as soon as they saw Long Ziyan, they asked anxiously, "What happened to you?" Did you see Brother Kan? ”

"We were trapped in a stone formation, and it was Su Mingzu who brought us out when he entered the formation." Longgang said.

"Brother Kan, what about others?"

"It's already here."

At this time, Brother Kan passed through the stone pillar and successfully joined the three of them, "Little Dragon King, I knew that a mere Twelve Heavenly Gate Array would definitely not be able to trap you, and I thought that you had already found Lao Junguan, and I was planning to go to Lao Junguan to find you." ”

Long Ziyan was taken aback and asked, "Brother Kan, you can see that this is the Twelve Heavenly Gate Formation, and you also found a way to rescue Longgang from the formation." ”

"I not only know this Taoist Twelve Heavenly Gate Array, but also am too familiar with it, since I was a child, I have listened to my father tell me about Taoist formations and Taoist magic weapons that can subdue zongzi ghosts, this little Twelve Heavenly Gate Array is not a problem at all."

"Good boy, is it quite hidden?"

Longgang, who was eager to go out, said: "Let's hurry up and get out of this stone formation to find out the location of Lao Junguan." ”

"That's right, Brother Kan, just now you said that you were going to Laojunguan to find me, could it be that you have already found the location of Laojunguan."

"That's right, we have been riding a donkey to find a donkey, and Lao Junguan has always been here, but in our blind spot, it is covered by moving stone pillars."

"Where?"

"When we just came in to trigger the mechanism, Lao Junguan was surrounded by the stone pillars in the stone henge, even if we passed by, we would only think that it was a row of stone pillars in the stone henge labyrinth, but we would not find that behind the stone pillars was Lao Junguan, we were trapped in three places, from the middle of the three directions like a line extending out, the intersection of the three lines is the location of Lao Junguan."

Brother Kan took the three of them around in the stone maze and walked towards Lao Junguan, and Long Zijing quietly asked the Lingsu beside him: "Didn't you find Lao Junguan when you flew in the air?" ”

"Please, the stone pillar is so high, and the middle one is even more towering into the clouds, and I don't fly as high as I want, I can fly as far as I want, I can be content if I can save you, and I have to blame me in turn, hum, ignore you." The spirit disappeared into the air like a fairy untouchably.

Long Ziyan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he shouldn't blame Lingsu, so he put the jade pendant in the backpack into the inner pocket of his coat to express his apology, and Lingsu was not angry with Long Ziyan, but flew in the air to help find a way out, and returned to the jade pendant to rest after overwork.

Brother Kan led the three of them to the stone pillar where the three lines crossed, Brother Kan looked left and right and looked at Long Ziyan, and the three of Longgang pushed away a stone pillar that was not effortless, and under the surprise of the four, the true face of Lao Junguan finally appeared in front of him.

The Taoist temple is the place where the Taoist priests practice, and the construction of the Taoist temple is closely related to the cultivation of the Tao. The basic belief of Taoism is "Tao", which is believed to be "the joy of nothingness, the root of creation, the foundation of gods, and the origin of heaven and earth", and the universe, yin and yang, and all things are formed from it. In Taoist beliefs, "morality" is mentioned alongside "Tao", which is explained in Taoist scriptures: "The Tao is in me is virtue." ”

In the "Book of Nature", it is said: "Those who have won the words of virtue are said to be the fruits of the Tao." Therefore, Taoism stipulates that believers should "cultivate morality", believing that cultivation can get rid of the sufferings and troubles of the world and live a happy life, which is a kind of spiritual cultivation, the purpose of which is to pursue the state of birth in a quiet and inactive state psychologically and spiritually. Therefore, Taoists put "monasticism" in the first place.

The Taoist palace and temple are called "view" rather than "temple" or "temple", which may be the most directly related to the Taoist tradition of watching celestial phenomena at night. The main reason why Taoism attaches great importance to astronomy is that it is influenced by the legacy of pre-Qin Taoism, and it is extremely worshipful and awe-inspiring to celestial bodies.
