Chapter Seventy-One: Qingcheng Mountain

"Do you Qingcheng Mountain also divide the front and back mountains like Maoshan Mountain?" I asked.

Li Changqing said: "As the holy land of Taoism in the world, one of the famous mountains of China's four great avenues, and one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, of course, it is also divided into the front mountain and the back mountain. The front mountain is some of the so-called scenic spots, and the back mountain is the place where we people cultivate. ”

I nodded: "It's about the same as Maoshan Mountain, how does your Qingcheng Mountain background compare to Maoshan Mountain?" ”

Li Changqing scratched his head and said: "We Qingcheng Mountain has a long history, according to legend, in ancient times, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had Ning Fengzi, lived in Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate, once taught the Yellow Emperor the "Dragon Ji Technique", the Yellow Emperor built an altar to worship it as "Wuyue Zhangren", so later generations also called Qingcheng Mountain as Zhangren Mountain. ”

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yin Changsheng, known as one of the "Eight Immortals in Shu", entered Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate. But what really established the status of Qingcheng Mountain as a famous Taoist mountain was the ancestor Zhang Daoling. Li Changqing said.

"Isn't Zhang Daoling the founding patriarch of Longhu Mountain?" I asked curiously.

"Listen to me first." Li Changqing waved his hand.

"In the early years of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestor Zhang Daoling entered the Hewu Mountain to cultivate and founded the Five Buckets of Rice Road. That is, the Heavenly Master Dao. Heming Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain belong to the same ancient Minshan Mountain Range, Zhang Daoling was the first to come to Qingcheng Mountain from Heming Mountain to preach, and feathered in the mountain.

Later, in 143 A.D., two years after writing the 24 Taoist books, Zhang Daoling arrived at Qingcheng Mountain, where he preached and founded China's native religion - Taoism, making Qingcheng Mountain the first of the four famous mountains in China.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, while absorbing foreign countries, Qingcheng Taoism blended with Dandao, natural Bigu, Yixue and medicine to form a unique and complete system, and became one of the holy places of the four great avenues in China.

The support of the rulers of the Sui and Tang dynasties for Taoism made Qingcheng Mountain in this period really the "capital of the immortals". During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Taoism flourished, and the Qingcheng mountain palace was all over the place, and high Taoism emerged one after another.

Later, after the Tianbao Rebellion, the Central Plains was restless, and Tang Xuanzong and Xizong successively took refuge in Shu. Tang Xi Zong ordered Qingcheng Mountain to repair the Lingbao Dojo Zhou Tian Jiao, and set up 2,400 Jiao seats.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, some famous figures of Daomen also went in and out of Shuzhong, such as Peng Xiao, Chen Luan, etc., who had traveled to Qingcheng Mountain, Du Guangting, Tan Qiao, etc., all died in Qingcheng Mountain. Among them, Du Guangting, a famous Taoist priest of the fifth generation in the late Tang Dynasty, lived in seclusion in Baiyunxi in Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, and sorted out and wrote a large number of Taoist books. Later generations built "Du Guangting Reading Desk" on the bank of Baiyun Creek for people to hang on.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Taoist priest Du Guangting came to Qingcheng Mountain, and the tradition of the Heavenly Master Tao was combined with the Shangqing Dao. Shangqing Dao claims that cultivating the Tao can ascend to the "Shangqing Heaven", which is higher than the ideal "Taiqing Realm" of the old Heavenly Master Dao.

Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of the Northern Song Dynasty, once came here to worship, and re-established the Taoist lineage of the Heavenly Master in the Changdao Temple.

In the first year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You came here and wrote poems: "There is still a reading platform in the mountains, and the wind sweeps away the barriers of Qinglan's painting." Huayue curling is still there, when will Qinglian Monk come. "Zhang Suqing, a Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple at the same time as Du Guangting,

In the Ming Dynasty, Qingcheng Mountain Taoism belonged to the Quanzhen Dao Longmen sect. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, wars continued, and Taoist priests fled. In the eighth year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Qingjue, a Taoist priest from the Longmen of Wudang Mountain, came to Qingcheng Mountain to preside over the teaching affairs, which changed the situation again. The current Qingcheng Mountain Taoism belongs to the Dantai Bidong Sect of the Longmen School of the Quanzhen Dao. In 1982, Qingcheng Mountain, as an important part of the Dujiangyan Scenic Area of Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, was approved by the State Council to be included in the list of the first batch of national scenic spots; And then it was taken over by my dad!

After listening to it, I was shocked, paralyzing the background history of Qingcheng Mountain is so awesome! Zhang Daoling also came here to preach! No wonder Li Changqing's grandson is called Zhang Tian and their senior brother!

"Aren't you? What about storytelling? Paralysed, I ask you, why did Zhang Daoling go to Qingcheng Mountain to preach? Did he first create Longhu Mountain or preach the Tao in Qingcheng Mountain first? I asked.

"Then I don't know, in fact, the founding patriarch of our two sects is the ancestor Zhang Daoling." Li Changqing said.

"Then since they are all Zhang Daoling, why don't the two religions merge into one? If you two religions are combined into one, you can definitely crush Maoshan Mountain, right? I said.

"Master Zu set a rule not to allow the two religions to become one, so many years have passed, even if you want to merge the two into one, people's hearts will be uneven. In fact, the current strength of our Qingcheng Mountain is far inferior to Longhu Mountain, and now all the elders of Qingcheng Mountain are eating, drinking, and having fun with their money, and there are very few people who devote themselves to cultivation. Li Changqing sighed.

"That's why your dad sent you to Dragon Tiger Mountain, right?" I patted him on the shoulder.

"Well, my dad was afraid that I would learn badly with those scumbags, so he sent me to Longhu Mountain. But I'm not angry, and I was driven down by Zhang Tian without learning anything in Longhu Mountain. Li Changqing laughed.

"Okay, be content, you're better than me if you haven't learned anything, especially your Fa-rectification, one more skill." I said with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be b, who doesn't know how many good things you have on your kid? Maoshan's "Five Elements Sealing Demon Formula", Longhu Mountain's "Imperial Sword Formula", and the "Mountain" book written by the ancestor himself. Any of these three middle ways can become the art of Zhenshan, but they are all concentrated on your kid's body, and you don't know it? Li Changqing scolded with a smile.

I looked back and thought about it, indeed, any of these three Dao techniques in my body are very profound, and although I haven't learned the "Imperial Sword Technique" yet, I firmly believe that I will definitely learn it.

"Alright, it's here, I'll call the door." Li Changqing stopped and said to me.

I looked up, and before I knew it, we had reached the gate of Qingcheng Mountain; This mountain gate is no different from Maoshan Mountain.

Li Changqing rushed to the big iron gate of the Taoist temple, raised his foot and kicked over.

With a "bang", Li Changqing kicked on the door, and the sound spread far away; When I looked at it again, Li Changqing was sitting on the ground holding his feet and blowing with his mouth.

I was completely speechless when I saw him like this, why didn't he kick his feet harder?

Then, more than a dozen young men in their twenties wearing blue Taoist robes rushed out with watermelon knives in their hands.

Shouldn't the people who come out of the paralyzed Taoist holy land hold a peachwood sword in their hands? Carrying a watermelon knife anyway.

"Grass your uncle, don't you carry Lao Tzu in quickly." Li Changqing looked at this group of Taoist priests and scolded.

"Huh? Less in charge? A slightly older Taoist priest recognized Li Changqing.

"Come on, carry the young master into the mountain gate, and chop this person for me to feed the dog!" The older one pointed at me and said.

, is this a Taoist? Are you going to hack me to death at every turn to feed the dogs?
