Chapter 401: The White Cloud View is too upper
.....
Baiyun Temple.
"Baiyunguan Street outside Xibianmen, Xicheng District, Yanjing. Founded in the Tang Dynasty, it is the holy place of Tang Xuanzong to worship Lao Tzu, and the name is Tianchangguan. During the time of Jin Shizong, it was greatly expanded, renamed the Ten Directions Great Heaven and Changguan, and the end of the Jin Dynasty was rebuilt as the Taiji Palace. ”
"There are a large number of precious cultural relics in the Baiyun Temple, the most famous of which are the 'Three Treasures': the Ming version of the Orthodox Taoist Collection, the Tang stone carving of Lao Tzu and the stone carving of the Song Xue Tao Te Ching and the Yin Fu .....Jing by the Yuan University calligrapher Zhao Mengfu."
The above is from an encyclopedia. ”
Sun Changning closed the phone, stopped the fragmented thoughts in his mouth, and at the same time raised his gaze and looked at the great temple in front of him.
I have to say that the archway is still very good-looking, a bit of a tall feeling.
"A tree grows ten thousand flowers, and the world's Daomen is one family..... Speaking of which, I was a named apprentice for Wang Qinglian, and it seems that I haven't even been on Mount Emei?"
"But now the place on the top of the mountain is also the golden summit of the Buddhist family, and it has nothing to do with us..... When you go to Baiyun Temple, do you want to go to the incense or worship the temple first? Patriarch or something..... Old Ancestor Situ Xuankong is not a Taoist either, so he wants to worship Baiyun Old Dao?"
"Sanqing is a must-see....."
Sun Changning said this and walked towards the inside of the White Cloud Temple.
The ticket is ten yuan, which is not expensive, it is nothing more than a clean place for the Daomen, Sun Changning saluted according to the order of worship, and the first thing to go to was the Lingguan Palace.
There are many protector gods in Taoism, and Wang Lingguan is the one with the highest status, also known as "Marshal Wang Lingguan", "Wang Lingguan Wang Lingguan", "Wang Lingguan", "Yushu Huofu Heavenly General Wang Lingguan" or "Longen Zhenjun".
With three eyes dazzling heaven and earth, holding a golden whip in his hand, he commands millions of gods and soldiers, can walk the fire and wind, break through the mountains and stones, fly the clouds and mist, pray for sunshine and rain, suppress demons and subdue demons, be brave and brave, and can also cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits, collect plague and poison, save lives, and have boundless mana.
However, the most famous thing belongs to the myth "Journey to the West" about stopping Sun Monkey in front of the Heavenly Palace.
Being able to fight with the monkey who just came out of the gossip furnace and was angry for a long time without winning or losing, it can be said that Wang Lingguan, the marshal of the Heavenly Palace, really lives up to his reputation, and many people think that he is a little god, but in fact this is not the case.
Sun Changning's eyes changed slightly, standing in front of the statue of Wang Lingguan at this time, he felt that the majestic statue seemed to be coming back to life in the next moment, and he was about to be beaten with a whip, and he was always called Sun Monkey in the industry.
"This monkey is not another monkey, you can't whip it at will, Marshal Lingguan, offended. ”
Sun Changning smiled and bowed to him, and the statue of the god had no reaction, this is natural, the so-called gods are just illusory products, even if they really exist, it was many years ago, so long that it has transcended the historical record.
Sun Changning's own carved statues also have mystical powers, and they seem to have been injected with something unconsciously, and began to wake up, originally Sun Changning was also an atheist, but now he has encountered a lot of strange things, including some real supernatural things, such as white stones, such as golden carp, so the word god is no longer only in legends and fantasies.
There are very few Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, of course, this is only relative to the entire Taoist temple, at least Sun Changning has not encountered much, and occasionally encountered, that is a Taoist salute, the other party will immediately understand, and the young one hurriedly called senior brother.
Baiyun Temple is a jungle of ten directions, there is the privilege of passing the precepts but can not accept disciples privately, the little Taoist priests here are Taoist students who are studying, and the nature of the palace view belongs to the public ownership of the national religious believers, regardless of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, regardless of the true one.
There is Buddhism in the jungle of the ten directions, and Taoism also has it.
Led by the little Taoist, Sun Changning went all the way down the hall to worship, and when he arrived at a large hall, the pace suddenly slowed down.
"This is the Temple of Suffering?"
Looking at the plaque above, the little Taoist priest explained to Sun Changning that Taiyi must bow down to save the suffering Tianzun, this one is the great mercy and compassion god in the heavenly realm who specializes in saving people who have fallen into suffering, and all Taoists must worship Taiyi Tianzun.
Sun Changning pushed open the door, there was an old Taoist priest who was closing his eyes to recuperate, the little Taoist priest did not dare to slack off, and saluted, and then led Sun Changning into worship, and it was at this time that Sun Changning raised his head and saw the nine-headed lion, on which sat a person, holding a nectar bottle in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, with a long beard fluttering, like a compassionate look.
"Taiyi Salvation Tianzun is also known as the Emperor of the East Pole Qinghua, this saint is called Taiyi Blessed God in the sky, the great mercy and benevolence in the world, the Emperor of the Sun in the hell, the Lion Ming King in the outer Dao, and the Emperor of Dongyuan in Shuifu. ”
If you encounter difficulties, as long as you pray to the Heavenly Venerable or "recite the holy name", you can "relieve your worries and difficulties, turn evil into good fortune", or "complete your deeds and ascend to heaven in the day." ”
The old Taoist priest did not look at Sun Changning, but said to himself, Sun Changning's eyes moved away from Taiyi Tianzun, the little Taoist priest on the side brought incense, Sun Changning respectfully put on the incense, after three bows and nine bows, suddenly his eyes moved, and he saw a sculpture not far away.
It was a very small sculpture, also riding nine lions, but it was holding a scroll of scriptures in its hand, and an auspicious cloud rose behind it, and at the top of the whole sculpture, there was a hanging bell.
However, the sculpture is the size of a palm, but the Taoist on it is very young, and when Sun Changning saw this sculpture, the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly.
"Old Cultivator..... This sculpture ..... It's also Taiyi Saving Suffering Tianzun?"
Sun Changning asked the old man, and the old man raised his head, looked at the wood carving in the corner, and responded, "This ....... This was given to me by a colleague from Huashan more than five years ago. ”
"It is said that it is the previous life of Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, called Taiyi God, and it is also the incarnation of Taiqing Tiantaishang. ”
"Tsk, I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't remember which classic records the incarnation of this appearance, that fellow is still an old acquaintance of mine, he gave it to me, mysterious and secret, but it's not good not to accept it......"
The old Taoist stroked his beard, Sun Changning walked to the statue, and then the old Taoist said: "Eh, the next generation, you can't touch it at will, the statue has a spirit, and it worships the dignity of the immortal god. ”
Sun Changning didn't make a move, just stared at it for a while, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and at the same time, he recalled a person in his mind, so he asked the old Taoist: "Old cultivator, I will ask for something here in the next life." ”
"Do you know that there is a Taoist priest named Xiang Yulang in Huashan?"
"Xiang Yulang?"
The old Taoist frowned, and suddenly his eyes changed.
"Housheng, what's your name?"
