"Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; I don't know its name, and the strong name is called the Tao. The husband and the Taoist: there is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, and the capital is reduced to the end, and all things are born. The pure, the source of turbidity, the moving, the foundation of stillness, people can always be quiet, heaven and earth are all returned. ”

When the sunset is declining, when thousands of red glows are gone, there is a high chanting sound in the Qinglong Temple on the top of Fengming Mountain.

After a while, the chanting stopped, and a young Taoist priest with white teeth and a beautiful face walked out of the main hall of the Qinglongguan and rushed to the merit box.

"Fifteen, ten, fifteen, twenty...... Alas. After finishing the evening class, full of hope, he poured out the merit box and lit some incense money inside, and the young Taoist priest's hope turned into disappointment.

He frowned, sighed, and shook his head, his face depressed.

This Taoist priest is called Yang Chenyu, Yang Chenyu is the current master of the Qinglong Temple, also known as the abbot, presiding, now twenty-four years old, orphan, grew up in the Qinglong Temple, and the previous master is like a father and son.

Qinglong Temple is located in Fengming Mountain is a small hill in the southwest direction of Yanhuang Kingdom, belonging to Ba Snake Mountain, for its branches, of course, this Ba Snake Mountain is just a small mountain range, in this area of mountains are numerous, Fengming Mountain is really a bit inconspicuous.

The height of Fengming Mountain is only 200 meters, there is a river at the foot of the mountain to the east, because the sound of the roar of the river is endless, it is called Xiangshui River.

The Yanhuang people have always had the custom of living by the mountains and rivers, and there is a quaint town near the foot of Fengming Mountain.

The town is named after the mountain, Fengming Town has a history of more than 2,000 years, because Fengming Town is located between the mountains, but it has escaped a lot of wars, and the simple wooden structure of the residential buildings shows that this is a rare paradise.

With the development of the economy, the bluestone streets of the town have become spacious cement pavement, and the quaint wooden houses have begun to be torn down and turned into small western-style buildings of six or seven floors. The originally clean streets began to be filled with sales calls such as jumping off buildings and cutting prices.

Located on the top of Fengming Mountain, the Qinglong Temple has been more or less affected by this commercial atmosphere, although it has survived the wind and rain.

Qinglongguan was built in the late Ming Dynasty of Yanhuang Kingdom, by Fengming Town's richest man Zhang Wansan to worship the god of Xiangshui River, bless one side of the wind and rain and donate to build, during the cost of silver thousand taels, there is a hall and two courtyards, the whole use of good paulownia wood to build. Qinglongguan also has a history of 400 years, although it is not as famous as those famous temples, but it is also one of the registered units of the National Taoist Association.

The god enshrined in the Qinglong Temple is the river god of the Xiangshui River at the foot of the mountain, and because of this, the Qinglong Temple used to be beautiful, and the townspeople would go to the Qinglong Temple every year to hold a grand ceremony to worship the river god.

But with the passage of time, the continuous development of modern society, the Qinglong Temple has gradually declined.

After the death of the previous master, Yang Chenyu became the master of the Qinglong Temple, which is by no means a temple of descendants, but the Qinglong Temple is the commander of the light pole from the first three generations of the master, and there is neither a single Taoist nor a Taoist priest.

According to the norms of the jungle temple, the supreme leader of the Taoist temple is the abbot, if it is a Quanzhen school, it is necessary to receive the three altars of the great precepts, take over the lawyer's teachings, the precepts are strict, the morality is highly respected, and the Taoist priest is selected for the support of all the Taoists in the Taoist temple.

The righteous faction is required to confer the penalty, and the subsequent rules are the same as above.

As for the Qinglong Temple, it belongs to the Zhengyi faction, Yang Chenyu has been awarded the Zheng, there is a positive position, and the previous master of the view passed on some talisman painting methods to Yang Chenyu, but I don't know if it is a true biography, in short, the talismans drawn by Yang Chenyu are all psychologically comforting. Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the Bowen Dao, the heaven and the earth were cut off, and the talisman of the world's Daomen could no longer reach the heavens, in this year for hundreds of years, the prevalence of atheism, the major avenues and gates were reduced to scenic spots, and they could no longer be inherited.

There are no competitors, and there are not too many restrictions, after the death of the Guan Master Yuan Zhen Dao Chang, Yang Chenyu became the Guan Master.

However, Yang Chenyu, the master of the view, is quite dilapidated, more than 400 years have passed, and the Qinglong Temple looks extremely dilapidated under the erosion of the long river of time. Yang Chenyu wants to renovate the Qinglong Temple, but even the residents in the town often think about the famous temples outside the town when they encounter major events, burn incense and worship God, and no matter how bad they are, they are Huafeng Temple, Qingyun Temple, etc., which are hundreds of miles away.

Even some residents who are reluctant to run too far will burn incense and worship the gods, and will choose the land temple outside the town, after all, it is still tiring to climb the mountain peak at a height of more than 200 meters.

Therefore, in most cases, Qinglongguan can be regarded as a lonely population, and even if there are a few pilgrims, it is not the kind of big money that is willing to spend money.

Yang Chenyu gets up at five o'clock in the morning, wears a robe and a crown after washing, cleans the Taoist temple, eats breakfast, and enters the main hall at five thirty o'clock to give a lesson, reciting incense, opening the scriptures, purifying the heart, purifying the mouth, purifying the body, "Qingjing Sutra", "Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra".

After the morning class, Yang Chenyu will go to the vegetable field behind the Qinglong Temple to rest the soil, Fengming Mountain is too tiring next time, not only the mountain road is dilapidated and rugged, its length is also exciting, if it is not necessary, Yang Chenyu reclaimed the vegetable field after the view is enough to make his own vegetables.

Eat at noon on the hour, after eating, recite the "Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra" for half an hour, and then practice depicting the talisman taught by the Yuan Zhen Taoist, after a busy afternoon, enter the main hall again at half past five for a lesson.

The day's work is over.

Of course, in the afternoon, there are occasionally some pilgrims who work tirelessly to burn incense and worship God, and often at this time, Yang Chenyu has to pick up customers with a kind face, these pilgrims are their own food and clothing parents.

Although the local religious administration department will allocate some donations every year, it is almost a drop in the bucket for Yang Chenyu.

Not to mention anything else, this basic need for food and drink alone has wiped out the funds allocated to the charity, not to mention what happened to Yang Chenyu since he occasionally went down the mountain to practice things and saw an Internet café.

At that time, it was a funeral practice for a certain family, and Yang Chenyu followed a few monks who didn't know whether it was true or false to chant the scriptures for most of the day, and got an income of two hundred yuan, but just when he was about to buy some incense, candles, and oil, a façade called Tianlang Internet Cafe caught his attention.

After unknowingly stepping into the Internet café and being carefully instructed by the owner of the Internet café on how to surf, in the next few days of his Internet café career, Yang Chenyu donated the 200 yuan that was not yet hot to the owner of the Internet café.

He suddenly found that in his twenty-four years of life, Yuzi had lived too boring, every day except for eating, morning and evening classes, or smiling at pilgrims, reciting the same lines in his mouth: "Does the donor want to enter the incense or repay the wish? The merit box is here, burn incense and worship God, and the donor is at will." ”
