Chapter 191: White Cloud View on Kunyu Mountain
Even if Xing Wuyang is not happy in his heart, he has to go with us. All the way to Shandong, it took two days to reach Kunyu Mountain.
I've been to Kunyu Mountain twice. When I was a child, it was still a desolate place, although the sky was high and the scenery was rare, but it was inaccessible. I went there to cut down pine trees with the adults. Later, he engaged in tourism development, saying that it used to be a place where the mound was repaired. Qiu Chuji Dao is called Changchun Zi, one of the founders of Quanzhen Taoism, and he can be regarded as one of the most advanced people in Taoism. In fact, Qiu Chuji is also well-known because of Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". However, as long as it is a celebrity, it can be used to make a fuss.
So there is a Taoist temple on Kunyu Mountain, the name is very atmospheric, what is called "Taixu Palace". When you go to Kunyu Mountain again, you need tickets, and you can also attract some tourists, but not much, after all, it is a small place.
I didn't expect that in the Ming Dynasty six hundred years ago, there was really a Taoist temple on Kunyu Mountain. Although it looks too shabby, the sparrow is small and has all kinds of organs.
The Jiaodong Peninsula is hilly, and the altitude of Kunyu Mountain is not enough for 300 meters. It was like that hundreds of years ago, and although I didn't know how to drive them up the mountain, I knew where to go without effort.
When we reached the top of the mountain, it was already afternoon, but fortunately, the weather was gloomy, otherwise I would not have died of heat. Just after March 9, the weather was still very hot, except for the dust-free, everyone was sweating.
"You've climbed the mountain for so long, why aren't you tired at all, you don't even sweat. ”
"When I first practiced with Master, I had to climb two times a day on a mountain that was several times higher than this. ”
In fact, Fang Tong and Xing Wuyang's physiques were not weaker than Wuchen, but they were sweating profusely. It seems that there are also skills in climbing this mountain.
Now everyone wants to drink a can of mountain spring water first, and then find a place to lie comfortably until it is dark and have dinner.
The Taoist temple is in front of you, just ask the Taoist priest in the temple to ask for a bowl of water to drink.
You can see the mottled courtyard walls from afar, and it is the rhythm of disrepair. It's hard to say if there are any living people in there. When I got closer, I was even more disappointed. The mountain gate of the Taoist temple is black and yellow, the black is the paint that has not yet fallen, and the yellow is the wood board that is exposed after the paint has been removed. In some places, the wood is rotten and airy.
On the gatehouse, there is an equally tattered plaque with the words "Baiyun Temple" written on it. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it at all.
"Such a dilapidated Taoist temple is only seen in the life of a poor Taoist. Tianfeng wiped his mustache, "I'm afraid it's been abandoned for many years, right?"
"It's not deserted," Fang Tong said, "you don't see that there is not a single grass on the path in front of the Taoist temple, and there is no dust on the door nose ring." Naturally, someone cleans it often and opens the door often. ”
As soon as Fang Tongyi said it, I noticed these details, and I also felt hot on my face when I saw the embarrassment on Tianfeng's face. I should have noticed these details. Having lived in this cruel context for so long, it is not possible to observe the nuances. In the future, you must remember to check and think about it before you act. Maybe there will be an unexpected gain, or you may avoid unnecessary damage.
"You say someone, then knock on the door. Tianfeng coughed to hide his embarrassment.
Fang Tong walked to the door, lifted the door nose ring and patted it twice. After waiting for a while, there seemed to be movement inside, but no one came out to open the door.
"Look, no one, right?" until everyone began to wonder if what they heard was an illusion, but the wind was complacent.
"What do you have to be proud of? There is no one in the view, and you don't have any water to drink. The little flute glanced at the sky.
It wasn't until someone decided to give up that a clear trail of footsteps was heard. Then the door creaked open. A neatly dressed Taoist priest stood inside the threshold and looked at us in amazement. Maybe I didn't expect so many people. And there are all kinds of birds.
"Ladies and gentlemen, where did you come from, and what advice do you have for Baiyun Temple?"
How can this be said in a bit of a charlatan? I don't sound right, but I don't know what a serious Taoist priest will say when he "gets straight to the point."
"The little Taoist is disturbed, we are here to pay homage to the real people of Changchun Ziqiu. "Tianfeng's little face is piled up.
"This ...... Today, I am afraid that it will not be convenient to receive you. You'd better go down the mountain. "I didn't expect this little Taoist priest to come to drive us away.
"What kind of course? I've been a monk for so many years, and I've never heard of anyone taking a class. Tianfeng was immediately unhappy. How can you say that you will go down the mountain, who wants to climb the mountain all day long.
"This is a rule set by our ancestor Changchun Zhenren, and we can't receive foreign guests today. ”
It seems that people are real, but we also have two Taoist priests here who are not, so it's always not good to have conflicts with others.
"Then you study your classes, we worship our real people, and we don't need your hospitality. Wuchen said, "Everyone is a cultivator, so why bother." It is not easy for us to get here from the Central Plains, so I want to pay homage to the predecessors of the Quanzhen Sect. After worshipping the mountain gate, we will go down the mountain and never stop. ”
"Why are you so ignorant, you all say that you don't receive pilgrims today? It's hard to make it difficult for you to break through. The little Taoist priest was also annoyed, and he was anxious in a few words. As he spoke, he was about to close the door, "Let's go quickly, it's still too late to go down the mountain, otherwise it will be night, and there will be tigers and wolves on the mountain." ”
I believe that there are wolves, and when I was a child, there were wolves on Kunyu Mountain, and it was pure nonsense to have tigers. I stepped forward and pressed a door against it, and said to the little Taoist: "Little master, you have also seen that there are three female dependents among us, and it is really not easy for them to climb up, even if we go down the mountain now, I am afraid it will be the wrong time." Since you will not allow us to pay homage, it is good for us to give us some spring water to drink. ”
"You go down the mountain from the path behind the temple. Although the road is steeper, down the hill is a village called Yanagiguchiji. You can stay there, and there must be a lot of pilgrims in the village today. ”
This guy didn't want to let us in. Xing Wuyang was originally well-cultivated, but he was also annoyed by the unkindness of this little Taoist priest, and took a step forward, and the sword in his hand was also pulled out of a sword blade.
The little Taoist priest could naturally see that a few of us were not good people, and hesitated for a moment, probably because he was afraid that we would break into the Taoist temple, so he said to us: "You guys wait a minute, I'll go and report it." ”
With that, he closed the door.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, the mountain gate opened again, and it was still the little Taoist priest who came out. I saw that he carried a wooden bucket, and in the bucket was half a bucket of water and a gourd scoop. The little Taoist priest lifted the bucket outside the threshold and said, "Drink it, and go down the mountain when you are done." ”
If you don't drink water now, you don't have a backbone, but you are sick. After a few of us took turns to drink the water, the little Taoist priest took the bucket back, and did not be polite to us, but closed the door directly.
"How can there be such a thing? It's so unreasonable to be a monk. Bao'er muttered, she was the weakest in the world, "Aren't you going to break in?" ”
"We'll come down from the back hill in a moment. When the time comes, you will stay in Liukouji, in case something happens to you, you can only ask for more blessings. I replied to Bao'er.
"Just you talk a lot!" Bao'er glanced at me and stopped talking.
Since you are not prepared to break through, it is definitely not a wise move to stay on this uninhabited mountain at night. Not to mention that the mountains are cold at night, which is easy to get sick, and the insects, snakes, and beasts on the mountains will also disturb everyone's sleep. Let's go down the mountain, this trip is in vain, and it is good to go to the village below the mountain to find out if there are any unusual people here.
I walked around the Baiyun Temple for half a circle and got a general understanding of the structure of the entire building. Because the top of the mountain is relatively flat, it can be built squarely, or as you like. According to Taoism, the Taoist advocates nature and pays attention to casualness, and there is no rule that should be built in this Taoist temple. Now, it seems, that's not the case at all. Although the walls have been mottled, it can be seen that every corner of the courtyard wall is carefully selected and designed, reflecting the rules of the square circle everywhere.
The white clouds are not very big to look at, and there are about a hundred battles from the front door to the back gable. As for the width of the east-west direction, it is estimated that there are 100 battles at the widest point.
"Don't we really sneak in?" Walking to the back gable of the White Cloud Temple, Xiaodi was still thinking about going in.
"If you want to go, the little old man's body is no longer good, so let's go down the mountain and find a comfortable kang Meimei to sleep on. "The further east you go, the fewer people sleep in the bed, and most of the people sleep on the kang. Later, when he broke into the eastern part of the country, he brought the kang to the northeast. Now in the Northeast dialect, the "big car shop", the soil kang inside is a unique landscape.
Xiaodi saw that no one responded, so why did she sneak into the view. She also has to be scared in her heart, not just to be exciting and fun.
The way down is much steeper than when you go up. In the end, it is in response to the sentence "It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down". It was already dark halfway up the mountain. By the time we arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was almost time.
