Hearing that I wanted to go to Baishanmen, Yu Lan looked at me sideways, Yu Lan thought for a while: "Or, find a hotel first, or, repair the car first, this car is too miserable." ”

I smiled and shook my head: "It's only when we take these things with us that we pay attention to them." ”

Yu Lan nodded, and searched for the specific location of Longhu Mountain on the map, and while she was looking, she asked, "You have always said that you want to worship the mountain gate, do you have a request for help?" ”

"Longhu Mountain is in Shangqing Town, isn't it?" Yu Lan asked.

"Yes."

I thought for a while: "It's not that you have to ask people to do things, it's just that this worship mountain gate is a rule since ancient times, and it is better for our generation to inherit it." ”

From ancient times to the present, whether it is a hero in the green forest, or a wandering monk, when you reach the boundary of other people's land, you must find the most powerful person in the local area, go to meet, recognize the door, and bring three gifts with the big rules.

The first thing to bear the brunt of this is a sheep, which means "leader", which is the recognition of the status of the other party; Second, you should bring a handful of roadside soil and pack it in a brocade box to show that your heart is as simple as loess, which is to express your sincere and humble attitude. And the third one, as long as it's something you bring with you, you can exchange it with each other.

At this time, if the other party approves of you, they will serve you a pot of water; If the other party serves a pot of tea, it means that he will take you as a guest, and he will take care of it within this boundary.

Therefore, this worship of the mountain gate can become a rule, and it can also be said to be the tradition of the elders. And Xuan Hui has already said hello to the side of Longhu Mountain, so it stands to reason that I will also go there, otherwise I will not be said to have no rules.

But Yu Lan and I are not familiar with each other, I don't know where to sell live sheep, I thought about it before and after, Yu Lan and I went directly to the farmers' market, bought a sheep's head and came back, as long as the meaning is there, the form is not important.

After everything was ready, the car slowly drove towards Shangqing Town, and I changed into a full set of Taoist robes in the car, showing respect with a solemn Dharma body.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain has an irreplaceable position in the entire history of Taoist development. Since the period of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Longhu Mountain has been built, and the Taoist emphasis on "thirty-six caves of heaven, seventy-two blessed land." "This Dragon and Tiger Mountain itself occupies two things, namely the fifteenth cave heaven and the thirty-second blessed land.

What is even more amazing is that this Taoist temple is actually the birthplace of two mainstream Taoist religions, the first of which is the most widely spread Zhengyi Church, which is the school created by Zhang Daoling, the Taoist saint of the Han Dynasty. At first, Zhang Daoling asked all those who believed in morality to offer five buckets of rice, so it was also called the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, and later generations called it "Heavenly Master Dao", its patriarchy is good at cultivating qi and internal cultivation, and the attainments of Fu Zheng can be compared with Maoshan Mountain! To this day, only the Taoist priests on Longhu Mountain can call themselves "Heavenly Masters".

The second branch is the famous Dragon and Tiger Sect, this Dragon and Tiger Sect is the fourth grandson of Zhang Daoling, created by Zhang Sheng, although it merged with the Zhengyi Sect in the later period, but it still retains the characteristics of foreign martial arts and other sects, and its status should not be underestimated.

No matter from the historical precipitation or religious attainments, the position of Longhu Mountain in Taoism, only Maoshan can still compete with it.

Yu Lan and I stood outside the mountain gate of Longhu Mountain in a daze, the mountain gate with dragon painting pillars has a majestic momentum, which makes people involuntarily respectful.

The little road boy in front of the door led the two of us to park the car at the parking station. Then, I handed over my Taoist card, and after carefully verifying my identity, Xiao Daotong took the two of us to meet Master Zhike.

When the master heard that I was here to worship the mountain gate, he very politely led the way in front. Along the way, I passed through the Sanqing Palace, passed by the Queen Mother's Palace, and didn't stop until I came to a place called Miyuantang.

Master Zhike gently pushed open the antique door and said slowly: "You two will rest here first, and I will go and ask the master." ”

Sitting in the temple and looking at the decoration of the house, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "One day, I hope that Seifukan will become like this." ”

It didn't take long for the door to be pushed open, and two little Taoist boys pushed the door first, standing respectfully on both sides of the door, and after a few seconds, a middle-aged man with a thin body and a beard reaching his chest walked in without hurry.

This person is not wearing the prestige clothes of the master, but is wearing a gray-green Taoist gown, holding an ordinary dust whisk in his hand, no different from ordinary Taoist priests, compared to the two, the Taoist robe on my body is more delicate than his clothes......
