Chapter 71: The Southern Heavenly Spirit Palace
Mount Qingcheng.
World Cultural Heritage, National 5A-level Tourist Attraction, National Cultural Protection Unit, Quanzhen Longmen School Holy Land, one of the Ten Great Caves, one of the Four Famous Mountains of Taoism, and one of the Five Great Immortal Mountains......
There is a long list of titles for Mount Qingcheng.
In novels, film and television dramas, there are many hermits, and the swordsmen of Shushan have cast a mysterious halo on this famous mountain.
Ordinary people may subconsciously ignore those mysterious legends and regard this place as an ordinary famous mountain, a tourist attraction.
But Xu Qing knew that there were really hermits and masters here.
Liu Changan met his master at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, and after he became an adult, he practiced in Qingcheng Mountain more times and met many, many real hermits.
In Liu Chang'an's memory, there are many hermits in Qingcheng Mountain, and they dare not say that there are a hundred.
Counting the ordinary people who live in seclusion in the mountains, they can't count them clearly.
Xu Qing went straight to Qingcheng Mountain according to Liu Changan's memory, and sighed at the foot of the mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain is still that Qingcheng Mountain.
But Qingcheng Mountain is no longer the Qingcheng Mountain in Liu Chang'an's memory, it has changed greatly, and now it is really a modern tourist attraction, with flat and wide parking lots, rows of restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, B&Bs, scenic ferries, cable cars, and all kinds of modern things, which form a sharp contrast with the ancient Qingcheng Mountain.
Ordinary people may not feel much.
But Xu Qing can deeply feel the impact of the changes of the times.
Times are changing.
People are changing, too.
Even the mountains are changing.
Maybe in the next hundred years, Qingcheng Mountain will become a different look.
Fortunately, the official development of Qingcheng Mountain is only a small part of the thousand mountains of Qingcheng Mountain, and the tourist route is just that.
A tourist route has also been developed in the back of Qingcheng Mountain, but because the mountain is steep and there are few scenic spots, the popularity is not very high.
Xu Qing first played around the Qingcheng Qianshan tourist area, and after looking at the scenery of the Qianshan Mountain, he drove to the Houshan.
When you arrive at the back mountain, park the car, and go directly up the mountain with the hiking bag you bought in the island city.
He didn't take the cable car, he carried a bag and a trekking pole and went up.
Take pictures while walking, see beautiful scenery, and broadcast live to Liu Lin.
Take a walk and rest, arrive at Baiyun Temple in the evening, take advantage of the fact that the management of the scenic spot is not paying attention, sneak directly into the dense mountain forest, and then rest.
He has nothing short of simple tents, sleeping bags, dry food, water, first aid kits, raincoats and other survival tools.
He knows the art of medicine.
I am also familiar enough with Qingcheng Mountain.
With such a mountaineering bag, it was enough for him to drill two round trips in Qingcheng Mountain.
At night, Xu Qing did not sleep, but meditated and carried Zhou Tian in the face of the vast mountains and forests, listening to the sound of rustling in the mountains and the occasional birdsong, which made him feel like returning to his hometown.
Liu Changan lived for 110 years, nearly 40 years in Qingcheng Mountain, nearly 20 years in the period of learning art, 10 years of scattered retreat in middle age, and 10 years in Qingcheng Mountain when he was in his 90s.
Qingcheng Mountain is Liu Changan's second home.
Xu Qing inherited all of Liu Changan's life experience, and naturally felt empathy.
When the sun was about to rise, he climbed to the top of the peak and began to practice in the face of the rising sun, which was Liu Changan's favorite set of Tai Chi 36 styles.
This set of boxing frame after Liu Changan's adjustment, the frame is still the Tai Chi frame, breathing, luck, thinking and other kernels are completely different, it is the essence of Liu Changan's lifelong learning, it is the best way to practice, the movement is appropriate, both internal and external, carry qi and blood, nourish the mind and think, quite omnipotent, with this set of exercises, other practice methods can be given up, but the requirements for practitioners are relatively high, there must be a certain foundation, and there must be a certain talent, otherwise ordinary people really can't do so many things at the same time.
Even Liu Changan can only do it in his later years.
Of course, Xu Qing is an exception, he fully accepts Liu Chang'an's inheritance, those subjective and idealistic things have no secrets in him at all, he understands directly, and he stands at the finish line at the start.
After the sun rose, Xu Qing regained his strength, turned around and let out a long roar in front of the clouds and mist all over the mountain.
When the staff of the scenic spot who heard the movement arrived, Xu Qing had already disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
All the way north.
Xu Qing arrived at the Nantian Lingguan Hall at ten o'clock.
The Nantian Lingguan Hall is actually the Nantian Patriarch Palace, there are only a few half-new rooms, not a scenic spot, and there is nothing to see, if there is no plaque on the door and the statue of the god enshrined in the house, it is more like an ordinary mountain house, and the wires and pot-shaped antennas pulled from a distance give people a very intimate feeling.
When Xu Qing arrived, an old Taoist priest was watering the vegetable furrow next to the house, and when he saw Xu Qing, he simply gestured and didn't speak.
Xu Qing said loudly: "Dao Ye, is there water?" ”
"Yes, there's a thermos in the house."
"Cool water is fine."
"The kitchen has a water tank."
"Thank you."
Xu Qing poured a stomach of cold water in the kitchen, and his whole body was comfortable.
This is not tap water, but pure mountain spring water.
This water can be sold for a lot of money when it is filled down the mountain and sold for a lot of money, but ordinary people can't drink it if they want to.
After drinking enough, he filled the kettle again, and then returned to the courtyard: "Master Dao, can you offer incense?" ”
"Yes, incense is under the small table at the door."
Xu Qing entered the small room called the main hall, took incense, lit it, shook the fire extinguisher, inserted it into the incense burner, and bent down to salute.
After the ceremony, he went out directly, came to the vegetable bed, looked at the old Taoist priest with a clumsy face and strong spirits, and asked after a while: "Daoist, ninety-two?" ”
The old Taoist priest's watering action stopped, slowly turned his head, and looked Xu Qing up and down: "Dare to ask the little monk to inherit?" ”
"Can't tell."
"What about the name of the little layman?"
"Upper stone and lower Lei, from the island city."
"Why is Shi Jushi here?"
Xu Qing sighed: "Go and get something," Speaking of this, he looked at a big stone behind the patriarch's hall: "It's still there, right?" ”
"You, you, you ......" The old Taoist priest was shocked: "Who are you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, I am Liu Changan's descendant."
"Heirs?" The old Taoist priest shook his head: "There is no heir to the Chang'an monks. ”
"No, there is!"
When Xu Qing said this, he leaned into the ear of the old Taoist priest and read two lines of poetry, then took a half step back and saluted again: "Xu Qing has seen Senior Brother Lixin." ”
Then in the surprised and inexplicable eyes of the old Taoist priest, he asked, "Senior Brother Lixin, where has Senior Brother Lichang gone?" ”
Zhao Lixin, Sun Lichang.
These are the two apprentices adopted by Li Zhiming, the old Taoist of the Nantian Patriarch Hall in Liu Changan's memory, who are the same generation as Xu Qing.
Because when Liu Changan died, Zhao Lixin was four years old and Sun Lichang was six years old.
The name was still given by Liu Changan.
