40 Ancient Taoist Temple

With such a shallow stream, even if you put your face to the bottom of the water, the back of your head will remain on the water, so it is naturally impossible to drown people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Of course, for water ghosts, such shallow water is enough to trap their souls.

And if you want to drown a child with water, then the surface of the water must be completely beyond the child's head, or you must hold the head with your hand to prevent it from coming out. Therefore, I suspect that the source of this stream should have a pool of stagnant water, or a pool.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of any results, so I could only pack up and continue to go up the mountain.

It was also on the way up the mountain that I learned that Wu Zun's actual age was a full eighty-eight years old. But his physical strength is even better than that of a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties. Wu Zun told us that he went up the mountain at the age of nine to start learning the Tao, and when he was forty years old, he went down the mountain to meet my grandfather, and because he had been cultivating since he was a child, so at that time, he looked like he was in his early thirties.

The fat man was envious, and asked Wu Zun what method of longevity he had. Wu Zun said with a smile: "Keep exercising and do more good." In this way, you will live a long life. ā€

The road up the mountain is not very easy to walk, and sometimes we will encounter small snakes in the grass, but we are not afraid, with Wu Zun, the corpse poison is not worried, let alone the snake venom. We weren't worried about being poisoned, but it hurt to be bitten.

It was almost noon when we saw the shadow of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain. Wu Zun saw that everyone was really tired and had reached the top of the mountain, so he suggested that we sit on the big rock and rest, and eat something by the way. The fat man seemed to have been thinking about the air-dried meat, and at this time he rarely had time to rest, and he didn't care about being tired, so he lit a fire and roasted meat for us to eat.

The air-dried meat is really good, it tastes very good, and it is much stronger than the big fish and meat I eat in Harbin City. After eating the meat, we rested for a while and decided to take advantage of the noon yang qi to go in first.

Wu Zun reminded me that there may be danger here at any time, so try to pay attention to the movement of the compass as much as possible. At the same time, I also told a few people not to stay too far away, if I opened my eyes, it would be crispy, and a small wild cat could deal a fatal blow to me. Wu Shaohua seemed to think that I was very important, and he stuck to my side, and the intimate distance almost made me feel strange.

We walked to the top of the mountain, and almost at the same time, the five of us saw a dilapidated ancient Taoist temple.

The walls of the temple have collapsed, and many green bricks close to clods of earth can be seen piled on the ground. Some still keep the whole wall falling to the ground, while others have been trampled beyond recognition. And at a glance, I can see a black and yellow tripod in the middle of the courtyard close to my chest! Wu Zun walked to the side of the tripod, stretched out his hand and knocked on the ear of the tripod and said to us: "This tripod is called the Zhenguan Evil Ding, which is used to suppress the Taoist temple and suppress the evil spirits disturbed by the Taoist temple. However, the material of this tripod should be ordinary cast iron. I smiled bitterly: "Such a place has now become like a deserted house." ā€

We continued to explore the entire summit to find something valuable. However, except for a large hall that reads "Qingyang Ancient Palace" on the front and back, there is nothing here. For the Taoist temple, I still know something, in addition to the surrounding wall, the entire Taoist temple should have six places, such as the main hall, guest rooms, wing rooms, Tibetan scripture pavilions, Zhenguan Ding and the back hall.

However, this Taoist temple only has a main hall and a town view in the center of the courtyard, and the others are a courtyard of barren grass. Wu Zun saw my thoughts, so he explained to me: "You don't know the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect was originally divided into two branches, one is the Zhengyang sect of the Zhengyang Taoist branch, and the other is the Qingyang faction created by the Qingyang monks. The Zhengyang school is the Maoshan, Yulin, Fengqing and other sects that evolved later, and only they have these exquisiteness. The descendants of the Qingyang faction are Quanzhen, Qing Shui, Qingzhu, etc., this faction pays attention to the experience of the Quartet, and rarely stays in the Taoist temple, so they will not have these. ā€

I nodded, "So you belong to a certain branch of the Qingyang Sect?" "That's right, I am the ninety-second generation disciple of the Qingzhu Sect, and I have a relationship with this Taoist temple." Wu Zun said with a sad expression. I can understand, after all, this is also his half-mother's house.

I didn't know how to persuade him, so I just walked away and continued to look at the environment in front of me. In fact, I didn't look at it, except for the big ding, the yard was full of weeds, and even the stone bricks on the ground couldn't be seen. And on that ding, except for a rune unique to Taoism, there is nothing else, and the simple one can't be simpler.

I turned to look at the main hall in front of me, and by the appearance, I could tell that it was supposed to be a two-story structure, but the height was three stories high. There are eight corners on the eaves outside, pointing to the eight directions, and on a few corners, there are small bells the size of fists, and the others seem to have fallen off for a long time, and there is no trace of the bells.

Outside the whole hall, there are ten wooden columns as thick as adult thighs, which seem to be painted with red lacquer, but now, they have completely fallen off, revealing the dark yellow wood inside, and in some places, it seems that the cause of moisture is that a lot of fungi have grown. I walked under one of the columns and looked up at the eaves above, where the earthy yellow walls were painted with many pictures of Taoist children wandering around, some of them had begun to fall, and some of them were still intact. Through the color of this mural, I can roughly estimate the time when this temple was built, which should be in the early Qing Dynasty.

In front of the main entrance, there should have been six more wooden doors with a grid, but now, only two remained. The rest of the wooden doors were completely missing, and they should have been carried away by hunters who had gone up the mountain to hunt, but I wondered why there were two left, could they be left for future generations?

Because the door has been lost, you can see from the outside that there is a huge blue-gray stone statue of Daozun inside. I stepped inside, and it was covered in dust, even plastic bags and some straw sticks. I sighed speechlessly, "Hey, this white garbage can really be seen everywhere." With that, I beckoned a few people to come in and search the hall together.

In fact, there is nothing to see in the main hall, except for the stone statue of Daozun, there is nothing in the house. Even the incense case and incense burner with incense can't be found. Wu Zun pointed to a wooden staircase built at a slope on the side and said, "This is called the Tengyun Ladder, which leads to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and it should go to the second floor." The fat man ran to the bottom of the stairs and looked up: "I can't see anything, it's pitch black, and there are no windows on it?" "Maybe it's a matter of angle." I tilted my head and looked up as I spoke.

However, when I looked up, I saw that on the right side of the staircase above, there seemed to be a pair of dark blue eyes that disappeared in a flash. I rubbed my eyes and continued to look, but this time I didn't see anything. The staircase was pitch black, and it seemed that as the fat man said, upstairs, there should be no windows.

I remembered Wu Zun's instructions, so I took out my compass and looked at it. But when I saw it, I suddenly shuddered. The pointer on it began to reverse rapidly, and the speed was even more violent than that of the female charm. I shouted, "Old man Wu! Wu Zun saw that my face was wrong, so he hurriedly walked over to take a look, and he was stunned when he saw it, and then took out his compass to see, the two compasses were put together, and the pointers on them were the same.

I walked a few steps to the courtyard to see if the compass was still like this. As soon as my feet stepped out of the frame of the wooden door, the compass pointer instantly returned to normal. I shouted, "Come out of here, there's something strange in this hall." ā€

Since he hurriedly ran to the door, he stared at the staircase at the very edge. I asked Wu Zun: "Didn't you say that Kou Ding can suppress evil spirits?" What does this mean? "The momentum of the Taoist temple has been broken, and this Ding is nothing more than an ornament." "So what now? Could it be the female charm you said upstairs! The fat man asked nervously. Wu Zun and I said at the same time: "It's not a female charm. After speaking, Wu Zun looked at me: "How do you know?" "I saw a pair of blue eyes, right at the top of the stairs, and they were gone in an instant."
