"Little Dragon King, according to what you say, it does make some sense."

"What is a little reasonable, such feng shui, blessing, Lu, longevity, happiness, wealth, five blessings gathered, people, Ding two prosperous, luck for a long time, it is really a blessed land of fairy mountains, but so, to live in this mountain is a fairy, but this scene is only in the painting in ancient times, it is rare."

"Is this really the place where Laojun alchemizes? Don't you think it's a bit of a fantasy? Purple Kite asked in confusion.

Long Ziyan quipped: "If you go and ask the person who has inherited the Taoist view, you will know, maybe he is still alive after eating the elixir refined by Taishang Laojun?" ”

"No, no one will inherit this Laojun Temple, as far as I know, the architectural principles and layout of the Taoist temple are also the same as the palace building, but the scale is smaller, and the decoration and interior furnishings have their own religious colors, the Taoist palace view has two natures: one is the descendant temple, the other is the jungle temple, the old monarch temple should be a jungle temple."

Longgang didn't know and asked: "What is the Descendants Temple?" What is a Jungle Temple? ”

Kang Ge explained: "The descendants of the temple is passed down from generation to generation between the master and apprentice, the temple property can be inherited, there is an exclusive sect, the Taoist friends of other sects can live temporarily, and can not interfere in the temple affairs, generally the new monks are in the descendants of the temple." ”

"Is the Jungle Temple the other way around?"

It can also be said that the jungle temple is not allowed to accept disciples, and the temple property cannot be inherited, and it belongs to all the Taoists in the world. Jungle temples are generally not divided into sects, all French disciples of Taoism have the right to live and manage temple affairs, except for barefoot and folk Taoist priests, generally, regardless of age, gender, ordination time, all Taoists who can live in it have the right to be elected as the supreme leader. Taoists who live in the jungle temple for a long time are called permanent Taoists, and they are generally arranged to have positions to serve other Taoists. The jungle temple has a clear division of labor, commonly known as "three capitals, five main and eighteen heads", and is in charge of lectures, fate, safety, fasting, personnel placement, self-support, cooking and so on. Generally, newly ordained disciples first learn these knowledge at the Temple of Descendants, and after three years they receive a scarf, and only with the permission of the Master can they go to the Jungle Temple to place a place to live, study deeply, and then return. ”

Zi Kite felt that what Brother Kan said was a little contradictory and asked: "Brother Mingzu, how can Lao Junguan, the Taoist temple of the Taoist ancestor not have apprentices and inheritors?" ”

Brother Kan was speechless when asked, thought about it and replied: "It is said that it is the place where Taishang Laojun is alchemy and medicine in the mortal world, mortals naturally can't come here, maybe his old man likes to be quiet, and he didn't let people know that there is a Taoist temple here, and when he returns to the thirty-three heavens, it will be wasted, don't always ask so much, they all say that it is a legend, who knows what this place used to do." ”

"After talking for a long time, it's better to go in and have a look." Long Ziyan raised his eyes and pointed to the open wooden door inside the eagle.

Because Taoism advocates simplicity and nature, Taoist temples and pavilions are hidden among the lush branches and leaves, and most of the buildings are taken from nature, such as bamboo, rattan, bark, roots, etc., without the slightest artificial decoration, and the surrounding mountains and forests and rocks are integrated, which is indeed extraordinarily harmonious.

The four of them arrived in front of the main hall, and at a glance they saw that the top of the palace door was engraved with four big characters "杳杳 Xianyuan", which was quite immortal and bone-like, and the sense of respect in the hearts of the four people actually had the feeling of "pilgrimage".

There are two wooden doors in the main hall of the Taoist temple, there is a pair of strange couplets on the left and right, and the upper link of the left mountain door is: good grass is long and long and long; The following link is: Xi three multiplication multiplication.

The upper link of the right mountain gate is: Xiayou Chaochao; The following link is: Yun Peng Guanguan Guanguan. Later, I heard a master say: The true word shocks the universe and awakens the sleeping soul in the dream; The creatures of the Infinite Realm are the masters, and the three senses are the soul masters; Diligently reciting the three officials and practicing asceticism, electing immortal officials and electing voters. These two couplets are endlessly wonderful, wonderful, and each reading reveals a philosophy of life, such as a thick book, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and often read the new.

The main hall is more than ten meters high, and the four cornices are hung with copper bells; The breeze blows, it plays on the "Ding Ding Dongdong", when you look at it carefully again, the hall seems to be more vicissitudes, the rusty copper railing, it seems that it is about to peel off at a light touch, the red wall has long been yellowed and black, the red wall of the years is depicted is the crack of old age, simple and quiet, long and kind, ancient and soft.

Long Ziyan involuntarily buckled the rusty copper ring on the wooden door, buckled the sleeping old monarch view, the first thing that caught his eye was the portrait of Sanqing in the middle of the main hall, dedicated to the Taoist supreme god Yuqing Primitive Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

Yuan Shi Tianzun symbolizes the "Wuji" state of "heaven and earth are not formed, and all things are not born", Lingbao Tianzun symbolizes the "Taiji" state of "chaos and the beginning of yin and yang", and Daode Tianzun symbolizes the "rush" state of "impulse for harmony, and all things are born". Yuan Shi Tianzun created heaven and earth, and was the leader of the Dragon Han Ancestor Yuqing Sect; Lingbao Tianzun transforms all things, and is the master of the Qing Sect in the Chiming Dynasty; Daode Tianzun educates the world, and is the leader of the Taiqing Sect at the end of the emperor. Daode Tianzun is also known as "Taishang Laojun", and the sage Lao Tzu is his eighteenth incarnation.

Laojunguan still maintains the appearance of the year, in addition to the partial collapse, the crack has climbed on the carved doors and windows, the carved doors and windows are no longer bright, the bright Mingtang and Sanqing portraits have been woven with dense cobwebs, all places are covered with thick dust, if in the bright spring days, the sun shines through the carved doors and windows, reflected on the ground of the Mingtang, you can also glimpse the face of Sanqing.

The title page of memory is so transparent, and what is even more surprising is that Laojunguan is very beautiful, there is a deep beauty of ancient rhyme, a kind of pure fragrance like old wine brewed by the years, Laojunguan contains a thousand years of trauma, and continues the unchanging spirit of a nation.

"I'm afraid this shouldn't be called Lao Junguan."

"What's not called Lao Junguan?"

"When I see these three Sanqing statues, I understand, if I were Taishang Laojun, would I hang my own portrait and the other two portraits in my Taoist temple to worship? This is just an ordinary Sanqing Temple built on the mountain, saying that Taishang Laojun is alchemy here, but it is just a god that is rumored by people. ”

"I almost took my life, and I didn't look like an old gentleman for a long time." Long Zijing was a little disappointed by this result, "It can be built in this kind of treasure cave guarded by the Heavenly Array, but what can these three Sanqing statues mean?" How to explain that there is still Taishang Laojun's gossip furnace in the courtyard? ”

Long Gang continued: "Then I will let you die, there are many ways to cultivate, such as prayer, contemplation, nourishment, inner pill, outer pill, etc., since you want to take the pill, there must be a place for alchemy, and it is not strange that the gossip furnace exists for this reason." ”
