There was nothing to say all the way, in a blink of an eye to Jiangsu Province, after changing to a few buses, the three of them finally arrived at the legendary Jintan County, what we are going to is the ancestral court of Maoshan Mountain, in fact, the so-called Maoshan Mountain, can not be regarded as a mountain in the real sense, it can only be regarded as a relatively high hilly area, this mountain, between Jintan County and Jurong County, is also regarded as, after the eight hundred miles of Wudang, the most emotional place for me.

In the mountains, the peaks and mountains are stacked and green, they are very beautiful, many renovated buildings, and they are very graceful, I have never been here, so I basically followed Lei Zhengui to walk, and in a place far away from the main peak of Maoshan Mountain, Lei Zhengui led us to get off the car.

In fact, the current Maoshan ancestral garden, and we imagined that it is not the same, the former Taoist land, now, has almost become a complete tourist area, compared to the copper smell of Henan and North Shaolin, is not much inferior, which makes me a little disgusted, I always feel that the place of Qing Xiu, such as the green bamboo view away from the hustle and bustle, is the best.

Of course, this is all a personal opinion, and some people may think that it is better to do it now.

"Where are we going?" After sorting out my thoughts, I pulled the ghost who was looking east and west and asked my little uncle.

"Nine Heavens Ten Thousand Blessings Palace." The other party said without looking back.

Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, in fact, is a large Taoist temple on the main peak of Maoshan Mountain, this Taoist temple, founded in the Western Han Dynasty, according to legend, is one of the blessed places left after the three Mao Zhenjun ascended.

When I came, there was often a recording playing on the bus that was doing private work, saying that the Maoshan Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace was completed after two major repairs.

The first time was in the Yuan Dynasty, when the ruler spent money to build many Taoist temples, which were specially used to worship one of the three Mao patriarchs, Da Mao Zhenjun Mao Ying.

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli respected Taoism and specially approved some money for people to build a palace, and the name of the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace was given by him. In general, Jiuxiao Palace sits in the north and faces south, the east and west are symmetrical, the whole building, borrowing from the mountain, the structure is rigorous and the layout is reasonable, from south to north, layer by layer, there is a bit of the royal engineering style, but, now, the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace of Da Mao Feng is no longer the original meaning, the door number is introduced, saying that now, this place is still the center of Maoshan Taoism, and it is also the location of Jiangsu Taoist Association, Zhenjiang Taoist Association, and Maoshan Taoist Association.

As soon as I entered, I found that there were many Taoist priests inside, and the incense was also prosperous, looking at the appearance of the people inside, it was no different from the hospitality of the scenic spots.

The appearance of Lei Zhengui made several Taoist priests in charge very happy, and when those people saw him, they were rude, obviously very respectful of this goods.

Lei Zhengui didn't say anything, and after returning the salute to the other party one by one, he took me and the ghosts to the main hall and offered incense to the ancestors.

When the disciples of Maoshan worship the ancestors, there are several levels of etiquette, some are very simple, some are relatively complicated, like us are rare to come once, naturally we have to do the whole ceremony, in general, except for bathing and changing clothes, all the items except for a few days of taboos, have also been done.

Those who came to offer incense and vows saw it, and they all put on a very curious look, and those who had that good thing whispered, and we didn't listen to what they were talking about, and we didn't care.

"Uncle Lei, Master Tai is still in retreat, do you want to see him now?" Unconsciously, a little Taoist boy ran in, holding the floating dust in his hand, and stood with his hands down.

"Is anyone else coming?" Standing up and patting the dust on his body, Lei Zhengui turned his head and asked him.

"The second master is back, and the others are still on the way, should I lead you to meet him?" After a moment's hesitation, the little Taoist boy said.

"Forget it, no one asks about my return, don't mention it, I'll go down the mountain tonight to live, and come back tomorrow."

Lei Zhengui said, nodded with the boy, and immediately, picked up the iron tablet that was untied, and gently re-carried it on his body by the way, how heavy is this iron tablet, I haven't paid close attention to it, but when I saw it untied and put it on the ground, although I was very careful, but the ground still shook violently to judge, this iron tablet can never be hollow, such a big thing, I estimate, let alone weigh two or three hundred pounds, see that Lei Zhengui is not strong, like a weak scholar in a costume drama, I really don't know, Where did this product come from so much strength, it will be swayed freely.

Just thinking about it, the little Taoist boy glanced at me, originally, the other party didn't care too much, but, the moment the four eyes met, the little ghost, obviously stunned for a moment, and then, this kid, hurriedly bowed down and gave a salute, I don't understand why he is like this, but out of politeness, he quickly returned the salute and followed Lei Zhengui down the mountain.

I haven't been here, the face of Lei Zhengui wants to go down, so I asked the other party, can I turn around and go, Lei Zhengui listened, slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the ghost, the ghost also looked at him expectantly, obviously, this little girl is the same as me, the scenery of this "Taoist first blessed land", is still very fascinated.

"You're going to look around here? Well, I won't accompany you, go in this direction, there is a small village, there is a small restaurant with a farmhouse at the entrance of the village, I am waiting for you there, say look for me, and they will know where you are going. The other party said, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "At this time, the mountain is not very peaceful, try not to show your ability." ”

"Is it dangerous?" Seeing that his expression was a little unnatural, I frowned.

"That's not it, anyway, be careful, that's right." Lei Zhengui said, gesturing to me, and then, he walked down the stairs on his own, and soon disappeared into the crowd of tourists.

Listening to these words, I always felt weird, I turned my head to look at the ghost, the ghost also looked at me blankly, thought for a while and couldn't figure it out, the two of them didn't dwell too much on this matter, hand in hand in the front hall and the back hall left and right hall through the hall, while looking at the surrounding scenery, while listening to various tour guides there.

In the process of walking around, I found two very interesting phenomena.

The first one is the people here.

Among the tourists who come and go, not all of them are laymen who come to have fun, and there are some Taoist priests who dress strangely.

It is not accurate to say that it is a Taoist priest, in my opinion, these people should be regarded as mages, although they are all here to worship the patriarch, but, in general, individual people have a little Taoist flavor, and some, but there is nothing at all.
