Chapter 261: Qiu Zudian
However, since Liu Xingyang said that the monkeys on the surface were not the monkeys that Lu Jin and Fang Dongtian wanted him to find, Tang Muzhi was not interested in touching these monkeys, but Zhuge Yan specially went over to touch them when he passed by the mountain gate.
Passing through the mountain gate, Liu Xingyang explained to Tang Muzhi and Zhuge Yu the layout of the Baiyun Temple and the immortals enshrined in each hall, although the two of them basically knew these as insiders.
After introducing the Sanguan Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, the Relief Palace, the Medicine King Palace, the Lao Law Hall and the Qiu Zu Palace, Liu Xingyang was about to take them to the destination of the trip, Sanqing Pavilion, Tang Muzhi asked Liu Xingyang for incense and presented it to the ancestor of Longmen, Qiu Chujizhen, Zhuge Yan was a little puzzled, obviously after so many halls before, why did Tang Muzhi give incense to Qiu Chujizhen.
Tang Muzhi explained that he knew a Gao Dao surnamed Qiu, who had been living in seclusion near Siguniang Mountain, killing the invaders before living in seclusion, and then helping countless local Tibetan compatriots.
This old Taoist was once a disciple of the Suishan Sect, and his ancestor traced back to Shuoyuan, just like this Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, who was a disciple of Wang Chongyang. In addition, Qiu Laodao and Qiu Zhenren have the same surname, so they are worth worshipping.
I want to explain one point here, that is, is the surname of Changchun Zhenren "Qiu" or "Qiu"? In fact, he was originally surnamed "Qiu", but later the construction of the Confucian Temple in China, the person surnamed Qiu committed the avoidance of Confucius, so in many dynasties there were orders to avoid the name of Confucius, and the surname of "Qiu" in the domain was changed to the surname of "Qiu", so there is nothing wrong with the same surname of these two people.
After hearing this, Zhuge Yan was in awe, and the three of them stayed in Qiu Zu Hall for a while, and Liu Xingyang finally brought them to the Sanqing Pavilion and Four Imperial Palaces behind Qiu Zu Palace.
The place where Baiyun Temple enshrines the Three Qing and the Four Emperors is built in the same attic, and above it is the Sanqing Pavilion, which enshrines the Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and the Taiqing Daode Tianzun; Below are the four imperial halls, dedicated to the Zhongtian Ziwei Arctic Emperor, the South Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor and the Houtu Emperor.
The four palaces are set up as the clay sculpture gold lacquer and leaching powder statue in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the gilded copper tripod furnace in the courtyard in front of the palace is cast during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The shape of the incense burner is vigorous, and the body is cast with exquisite cloud dragon figures, with a total of forty-three golden dragons.
The name of the gods like the Four Emperors is too big, and there is no need for Liu Xingyang to introduce it, and the Sanqing Pavilion is the god named by Fang Dongtian to ask them to burn incense and worship, and it is also the beginning of the game of "finding the three monkeys", so the three of them waited outside for a long time, and when the tourists in the Sanqing Pavilion came down, Liu Xingyang took them up.
Sanqing Pavilion is placed in the Ming Dynasty Xuande period to shape the Sanqing statue, more than two meters high, the demeanor is serene and extraordinary, the color is as bright as ever, rich and simple - these are the same as the previous statues in the major halls, but it is worth the attention of Tang Muzhi and Zhuge Yu is that they found at first sight that the two large white porcelain vases placed on both sides of the Sanqing statue are actually magic weapons!
Tang Muzhi said with a smile: "Hey, there have always been rumors that the Quanzhen Sect and the Wuhou Sect are the sects with the most refiners today. But Daochang Liu, you are really wealthy, so you put the magic weapons in a place where tourists come and go. Brother Zhuge , why haven't I seen this situation in Lanxi? ”
Zhuge Yan said helplessly: "The magic weapon that can be placed in the bright place is still deep inside the Baiyun Temple, even if you find the most powerful thief in the world, you may not get it, right?" And normal people probably wouldn't covet this bottle with a large person. Also, our Wuhou faction is actually good at divine machines. ”
Liu Xingyang smiled: "Mr. Zhuge is right, looking at two huge magic weapons in the view, we still have this confidence." Two of you, let's incense. ”
After that, Liu Xingyang took out two incense sticks from the bulging robe, the orange-yellow delicate fragrance, which had not yet been lit and had already exuded a charming fragrance, this incense smelled strong, but it was refreshing, and there was a feeling of wandering out of the world between the light smells.
Zhuge Yan stared at the incense in Liu Xingyang's hand for a while, and said in surprise: "This is the real Xinling incense?" ”
Liu Xingyang's eyes lit up suddenly, he didn't expect Zhuge to be so knowledgeable, he wanted to praise a few words, but in front of the Sanqing Patriarch, he just nodded silently, and didn't say much. There are a lot of things in Taoism in terms of Zhai Jiao worship, Tang Muzhi has not done any research, but he remembered a passage in the "Emperor to Dao Taiqing Jade Book": [Faith Lingxiang can reach the spirit of the Emperor].
It is rumored that in addition to the above-mentioned effects, this incense also has the effect of warding off plague and driving away evil spirits. Behind this there is a story of real Yan Ji and three Taoists, to the effect that the stone kiln where this real person Yan Ji lives is often infested by evil demons, and later there are three Taoist priests staying in the stone kiln where Yan Ji is located, one of the Taoists said: "I have a strange fragrance, can save the suffering of the world, and the way of burning is the mystery of nature, and can ascend to the heavenly realm." "When a real person gets this strange fragrance, he goes into the mountains and burns this incense, and all the poisonous snakes and beasts are avoided silently. Later, one day, the Taoist man flew from the air with his hair and a piano on his back, wrote this incense recipe on the stone wall and left it to Yan Ji, and then rode away in the wind.
There are still many ordinary people who use this kind of incense, and it is not a rare thing, but looking at the performance of Zhuge and Liu Xingyang, it is obvious that there are still peculiarities in the two sticks in Liu Xingyang's hands.
"You two each hold a stick, and I have another stick here, let's insert this incense into the same furnace in turn."
Liu Xingyang came first, only to see him take off his sunglasses, walk lightly to the middle of the Sanqing statue, move the letter spirit incense to the candle on the left side of the Yuan Shi Tianzun and light it, and then move his wrist to extinguish the incense, put the incense in his right hand, wrap his left hand around his right hand and hold it in front of his forehead, respectfully insert the letter spirit incense into the incense burner, and then move it left to make room.
Zhuge Yan and Tang Muzhi concocted the same method, they all knew the rules of incense, and the distance between the three incense sticks was equal and did not exceed one inch.
The fragrance emitted by the spirit incense soon spread throughout the entire Sanqing Pavilion, Tang Muzhi only felt that there was an invisible soft force around his body that was constantly lifting him up, and the smoke clouds around him were swirling, each wisp was so solid and clear, Tang Muzhi saw that there were several mysterious lines between these smoke clouds, complex and beautiful.
The surrounding environment began to change, Tang Muzhi looked around, and found that Zhuge Yan and Liu Xingyang around him had disappeared, and the porcelain vases on both sides of the Sanqing statue flashed, and the entire Sanqing Pavilion underwent earth-shaking changes.
You can hear all kinds of sounds here, such as birds, cicadas, cranes, flutes, drums, bells, chimes, and three clear bells. You can also smell all kinds of smells, vanilla, flowers, resin...... And, of course, the smell of incense.
