Chapter 36: Taoism

The Taoist temple that Uncle Wu mentioned was on a sunny hillside, with its back against a steep cliff, and a large stone bridge stretched out from the cliff, enveloping the entire Taoist temple. Seeing this Taoist temple, Li You was a little dumbfounded. From the Taoist temple and the stone bridge extending from the steep cliff, he knew that this was a man-made project, the stone bridge can usually shelter the Taoist temple from the wind and rain, and even in heavy rain, it can also wash out a small waterfall on it, falling in front of the Taoist temple, forming a unique landscape.

But Li You, who was born in civil engineering, thought of not the ingenuity of the builders and the artistic conception and beauty formed by the falling waterfall, and the first thought in his heart was, did the person who cut the cliff like this have a brain problem, wouldn't he be worried that one day, the stones on the Taoist temple will fall down, and the Taoist temple and the people inside will be smashed into powder?

Li You secretly built a mathematical model in his heart, carefully calculated the safety factor of the stone above his head, and came up with a relatively safe data before he let out a heavy breath. It seems that the people who built this Taoist temple in the first place were also proficient in building mechanics. At this time, the disdain in the heart turns into full worship. He knew that it would not be easy to build such a project in ancient times. Especially in the deep mountains and old forests.

The Taoist temple is not small, enough to accommodate dozens of people.

It's just that this Taoist temple called Qingniuguan is really dilapidated, the plaque is skewed to the side, and the red paint on several wooden pillars has already fallen clean, and it is full of insect holes. I don't know where the gate of the Taoist temple has gone, and the statues of Sanqing are still there, but they have also staggered. As for the incense burner or something, I couldn't find any of them, and it was probably taken away by the people who discovered this Taoist temple before.

"Hah...... Qi ...... "The Taoist temple, which has not been here for a long time, is covered with dust, and dozens of people poured in at once, and the dust suddenly flew up. Li You felt a sore nose and sneezed uncontrollably.

"I've finally found a place to hide from the rain." Li You rubbed his nose and let out a long breath. Trekking in the rain, Li You can be regarded as having endured all the hardships. The mountain road is slippery, you will slip if you are not careful, some places are steep, it is not easy to get up without a few rolls, and Li You, who has fallen a few times, is already a little limp when he walks.

That's not all, with the advent of heavy rain, the snakes and insects that hibernated between the forests also came out to move, and there were three giant pythons encountered on the way to the team, but fortunately, these giant pythons did not take the initiative to provoke people, but climbed up along the trees, as if they wanted to meet the thunder or something...... In the end, Li You also found that in just two kilometers, more than a dozen leeches climbed on his calves, and it took a lot of effort to get them down......

After entering this temple, Professor Qi's brows were furrowed. He waved his hand at Uncle Wu, but Uncle Wu didn't dare to take it big, so he walked over with low eyebrows and asked, "Old Qi, what do you have to order?" ”

Professor Qi pondered for a while before he said, "The yin qi here seems to be a bit heavy, so be careful." "Professor Qi's ancestor is from Mr. Yin and Yang, and he has been wandering the rivers and lakes alone for nearly 20 years, and has rich ability and experience.

"Okay." Uncle Wu nodded again and again, answered, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else to pay attention to?" ”

Professor Qi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Seeing Professor Qi's appearance of pretending to be a ghost, Li You asked a little disillusionmently: "Professor Qi, what is the yin qi?" ”

"Come here!" Professor Qi was much kinder, ignored Li You's words, and said, "When you come to this Taoist temple, do you feel a little cold in your heart?" ”

Li You frowned, and said quietly: "I've been soaked in the rain for almost an hour, and it's cold everywhere, not to mention my heart?" ”

"It's really mud that can't hold up the wall!" Professor Qi gave Li You a shudder on his head, and said, cover your chest and take a look, the nerves are so big, you don't know what's going on if you die sooner or later. ”

Seeing Professor Qi's serious face, Li You hesitantly touched the location of his heart, and sure enough, he felt a slight chill.

"The human heart is the place where the blood is the most, the yin likes to be warm, and the most like to drill into this place, so in the place where the yin is strong, the human heart must be cold." Professor Qi said slowly.

"How can there be such a big yin qi in the Taoist temple?" Li You was puzzled. Although he didn't know the attributes of yin qi, he knew that places like Taoist temples and temples were places to worship gods and Buddhas, and if there really was anything, it should be the aura lingering, how could it be gloomy?

"This Taoist temple was originally used to suppress yin qi." Professor Qi glanced at Li You and said, "Have you ever read the "Ten Methods of the Secret Collection", you can't see through such a simple truth?

Li You said seriously: "I have long memorized the book, but I know almost every word in it, but after connecting it, I don't understand the meaning at all." ”

Professor Qi said again, "Rotten wood cannot be carved", and then said: "Only by the unity of knowledge and action can we really learn things, and what we don't understand in the book must be studied more often, and we must continue to combine what we see and hear to understand, so that we can gain something." ”

After explaining the big truth to Li You, Professor Qi asked Li You to come over and said, "I told you before that this area is an ancient battlefield, right?" ”

Li You nodded. He had long been convinced of this, and the remnant spear he had picked up on the ancient battlefield was still in his backpack. The remains seen along the road are also enough to prove that there were one or more tragic wars in this area in ancient times, so that so many bones are still exposed to the wild.

"If the yin qi is too heavy, it will breed monsters and harm one party. The original time of the construction of this Qingniu Temple was during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in order to suppress the yin qi in this area. ”

"Why is it a building of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?" Li You was a little puzzled. He studied civil engineering and has an understanding of the history of ancient architecture. The Green Cow View is dilapidated, and it is not possible to understand the style of which era it is from the details. But on the whole, although this Taoist temple is a little dilapidated, just from the project of the cliff stone bridge behind it, it is known that it is a big deal. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism was relatively weak, and it was not easy to build such a Taoist temple.

But Li Tang is different. Li Tang Chongdao suppressed Buddhism, not to mention, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and the building was magnificent, so the style of Taoist temple construction was more inclined to the Tang Dynasty.

"So you don't pay attention to the details." After listening to Li You's questions and his own opinions, Professor Qi sighed again and said, "You go out to the door and take a look, there is a stone tablet there, and there is the year of the Taoist temple construction on it. ”

Hearing this, Li You was stunned.
