Chapter 408: Volley Talisman, Is This Science?
Registration is actually to pay money, I didn't let me write any name, phone or something, it is estimated that the Taoist temple wants to see how many people come to incense every day.
Now mobile payment is also developed, some people use cash, some people use mobile phones to scan the code to pay, so it is very troublesome to calculate, arrange a person here to collect money and register, you can easily deal with these problems.
Very traditional way.
But this kind of place is not good at all, Chen Xing looked at it just now, at least what can be seen is that there is not much modern equipment, there is actually an electric light in this hall, and other things may have been like this hundreds of years ago.
A few minutes later, Chen Xing came back with the incense.
All Taoist temples believe in the Three Qings, no matter what sect it is, or even if it is a fake Taoist temple in some scenic spots, you can see the Three Qing statues in it. And Qinghongguan is the same, but they mainly worship the Yuan Shi Tianzun here.
Kneeling on the futon, bowed, and put incense.
Well, this is the end of the process of worshipping God.
The incense is bought here, and then it is also used in this place, but such a simple act requires tourists to spend dozens or hundreds, or even thousands of prices to do, then Chen Xing will definitely not go, and even turn around and leave.
To be honest, Chen Xing feels that this phenomenon is no longer a conflict between tourists and attractions, and that others are treating tourists as fools.
He has a lot of fans, and most of them are people who like to travel, and Chen Xing has seen one or two thousand incense in it.
Doesn't make much sense.
Five cents is estimated that people will return to their roots, after all, the incense that everyone uses is not the kind used in the Qingming Festival, and the incense they spend money to buy has the thickness of chopsticks...... Maybe it's possible that the capital is not enough?
This alone made Chen Xing have a good impression of this place.
Leaving the Sanqing Palace, Chen Xing walked towards the inside of the Taoist temple.
The environment here is very deep, and after entering from the entrance, the overall appearance of the Taoist temple is very similar to the kind of houses that have been entered in ancient times, and the open space in the middle has been turned into a garden, and in some places there are stone pools, which are planted with lotus flowers, and the kind of aquatic plants that grow very tall.
However, there is no flowering in sight this season.
Walking along the road, there are also Cihang Palace, Eight Immortals Palace, and Lu Zu Palace.
Eight immortals or something, it seems that there is no need to introduce more, a Chinese person should know who the eight immortals refer to, at most I can't remember the name. If Chen Xing met someone who would ask what the Eight Immortals were, Chen Xing would definitely report him.
You might even be able to catch a spy.
As for Cihang?
Isn't this Guanyin Bodhisattva? The Taoist temple will also worship Buddhist immortals?
Chen Xing walked into the hall, and a Taoist priest immediately put away his mobile phone.
It's still too early now, only some tourists who climb Lao Ya Mountain in the early morning will enter the Taoist temple, and their Taoist temple is also large, and it is not easy for tourists to come to this Cihang Temple, so Dong Xing went straight to the Cihang Temple to be lazy.
I didn't expect tourists to come in just now.
"Amitayus."
"Hello Dao Chief, I'll take a look at it."
Chen Xing saw that this Taoist chief was quite young, estimated to be no more than twenty-five years old, and he also wore glasses, and the probability of young people wearing glasses has become higher and higher in recent years, and Chen Xing has a cousin who has started wearing glasses before he finished elementary school.
It is estimated that they have to look at the genes, and their old Chen family is not very short-sighted.
"Oh, you see, haven't you eaten?"
"I've eaten it."
"Okay, if you haven't eaten, we have breakfast here, steamed buns and porridge, and those who have served incense to Master Zu will be free."
"Haven't you ever put on incense?" Chen Xing asked.
"Then two dollars per person, all-you-can-eat."
"Huh? So how do you make money? Chen Xing was a little dumbfounded.
A stick of incense costs five cents, and two yuan for breakfast, so don't everyone go to incense? And then all-you-can-eat for five cents, isn't this a blood loss? If you can't eat, you can take care of it for a day when you come here to eat one meal a day, where is this opening a gym, this is charity!
"The Taoist temple doesn't make money in the first place, and it all depends on the funding from above to live." He smiled and said.
Chen Xing is an atheist, and after knowing that the system was made by scientists in parallel time and space or in the future, he didn't believe it anymore. But now he admires the Taoist people very much, and he has the rule that people can eat enough after incense here, and he doesn't know how many people he has saved in the local area.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine the pain of some frustrated people, and it is definitely a very happy thing for them to have such a place to eat.
Chen Xing looked at the statue of the god in the stands, although the costumes were very different, but inexplicably wonderful, he could still see at a glance that he was Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Daoist, I want to ask if Guanyin is not only in the temple?"
"No, we generally call him Cihang Zhenren here, and he is a special one among our Taoist immortals, have you ever heard of the god list?"
"I've watched TV series before."
"That's easy to explain, there is a mention of Cihang Zhenren in the Romance of the Fengshen, he is one of the twelve golden immortals under the throne of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and also one of the twelve golden immortals worshiped by our Taoism, and many Taoist temples have enshrined Cihang Zhenren."
"Oh......" Chen Xing suddenly realized.
"I thought Guanyin was from Buddhism."
The Taoist chief wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally sighed.
"Alas, it's already good that you can ask me this question, instead of worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva directly."
Historical changes, the introduction of Buddhism and the deliberate popularization of preaching, so that many people are accustomed to seeing the temple is a Bodhisattva, Buddhism and Taoism are not distinguished, the name of Cihang Zhenren is gradually blurred, but Guanyin Bodhisattva is a household name.
The Taoist chief also put away the appearance of the Buddha system, and introduced to Chen Xing: "This virgin here is called the Dragon Girl, the legend is ......."
Maybe the passive skills of the system have taken effect again, in short, when Chen Xing walked out of the Cihang Hall ten minutes later, he was already talking and laughing with the young Dao Master, just like an old friend.
The Taoist chief's name is Dong Xingzhi, and his legal name is Dong Sanzhi.
He entered the Taoist temple when he was 18 years old, when he was only 20 years old, and then finished college, and only came to the Taoist temple last year.
"Can you still continue your studies after you have a teacher?"
"Hey, don't talk about reading, many of my senior brothers are still working normally, and our Taoist priests don't need to quit meat, only a few animals can't be eaten, and they can also get married and have children, not as strict as Quanzhen."
"Can you still get married?"
"Yes, I think you and I are very fateful, why don't you also become a Taoist priest? I'll introduce you to the master, and I guarantee that it is also a three-character generation. ”
Dong Xingzhi's guarantee seems to be useless, but ordinary people can't take it out.
The word generation of the Zhengyi faction is "Gao Hongding Da Luo, the more prosperous the three mountains", as early as 20 years when there was no three-character generation, now if you want to be a Taoist priest of Zhengyi, the inheritance is more authentic, are the mountain character generation, or more.
"Forget it......"
Even if he can get married and have children, Chen Xing doesn't want to have any constraints.
"We Qinghong view has two uniques, one is that our architecture is really inherited from the Ming Dynasty, basically there is no change, many architects and historians have come to us to study before, these two must be volleyed talismans, this is not easy to explain, I will take you to see."
In the two hours after the morning class, there was basically no work that the Taoist priest had to do.
The twenty or so people before that, after the morning class was over, some of them went to eat, and after eating, they either went back to their rooms to squint for a while, or they cleaned the mountain gate, or did some other chores.
Qinghongguan has no natural gas, and the firewood used every day has to be carried back from the bottom of the mountain.
This is also Dong Xingzhi's job, but it is enough to memorize it for two or three days, so he has time to be lazy today.
As for going back to the room to sleep.
It is indeed possible, but if Dong Xingzhi really does this, it is estimated that his master will have to add a little more burden to him in a few days...... You have time to go back to sleep, which means that you are still very idle, and young people should do more.
That's why he hid in this side hall where no one came to play on his mobile phone.
Chen Xing also sighed that the current Taoist priest is really different from the one on TV.
And it is also different from the monks that Chen Xing has come into contact with.
He has seen a real ascetic monk, on the mountain of Chunmanzhai, the monk named Da Jingteng has been fasting and reciting Buddha on the mountain for decades, the Dharma is profound, and when he speaks, it seems that his eyes can reveal wisdom.
Well, it's an exaggeration, but that's the impression he gave Chen Xing.
In the temples I met when I traveled, even if the monks had not read so many Buddhist scriptures, they all looked upright when facing tourists.
But the Taoist priests that Chen Xing saw in this Taoist temple did not feel so high.
Whether it was the Taoist who registered to sell incense, or the young Taoist in front of him, they all gave Chen Xing a very approachable feeling, as if they were a group of people who could meet at any time around them, and they were very suitable to be friends.
Dong Xing walked straight through several courtyards and went straight to the back of the Taoist temple.
There is also a hall at the back, called the Medicine King Palace.
Yaowang evolved from a famous doctor in ancient Chinese history or legend, who could pray for good health, no illness and no disaster. The prototypes of the medicine kings in different eras and regions are also different, and there are three main ones here.
Before Chen Xing could read the introduction, he heard Dong Xingzhi say, "Look there." ”
He pointed to the sky.
Chen Xing also looked over there, as if there was nothing?
If you look closely, well, it's supposed to be a sunny day today, and the sun will come out.
"See what?" Chen Xing asked.
"Take a closer look."
Chen Xing frowned, and looked in the direction of his finger again, this time it seemed that he could see something, as if there was a very wide eye, and then there were lines in the words, a little, the lines were connected to the dots, but there were a few points Chen Xing couldn't see clearly.
"A word? Wow, why are there words in the sky? ”
Chen Xing immediately leaned back tactically.
This time he was really surprised, could it be that the Taoist temple used some projection equipment to project this word into the sky?
But if that's the case, Dong Xingzhi shouldn't have asked himself to come over so mysteriously.
"Yes, it is a kind of celestial talisman, the function is to guide the thunder and lightning not to fall in our Taoist temple, this is really effective, for hundreds of years, although our Taoist temple was built in the highest place in Boyu County, but it has never been struck by lightning."
"It doesn't matter!" Chen Xing said, "The important thing is why he is in heaven!" ”
Could it be that the ancient Taoist priests were all real?
Do you really have the ability to pass through the sky in the anime, and draw a talisman in the sky in the sky?
However, Dong Xingzhi also spread his hands and said:
"You ask me, who do I ask? However, some people have come to study it, saying that it is the cause of air refraction, and now the charm we see is actually engraved on the top of our current building, and as soon as it is refracted by the air, it appears in the sky. ”
"Really?"
"In the past, when we renovated the Taoist temple, there were no carvings on the roof for a few days, and we couldn't see this in the sky for a few days."
"Have you ever tried carving other talismans?" Chen Xing asked.
Dong Xing hissed for a moment and said, "What a rebellious idea you have, Master Zu is not to blame......
Chen Xing was speechless for a while.
Well, other people's beliefs have to be respected.
He thought about it, and also felt that the people who came here to study before had a point, air refraction is always more scientific than someone drawing a heavenly urn, otherwise how to explain that there is no symbol on the roof when it is renovated, and there will be no symbol in the sky?
But it's definitely a spectacle.
Chen Xing took out his camera, but the camera couldn't capture anything.
The human eye sees it very faintly, Chen Xing also stared at the sky carefully for a long time before he saw that there was such a mark, although the camera is very advanced, Chen Xing still uses the best civilian camera for taking pictures, but it is still no one's naked eye.
So it's normal that you can't shoot it.
"How many people know this?" Chen Xing asked.
Anyway, the tourists who came with him today don't seem to know, and Qinghongguan has never been promoted on the Internet, Chen Xing was able to find simple news here before, or because of the county's recent tourism development, they counted Qinghongguan.
If you engage in tourism, you can't leave behind Taoist temples, temples or something.
Compared with this Taoist temple, there is a temple in the city that is really full of tourists, and it is much more lively than this one on the mountain.
"Not many people know." Dong Xingzhi said.
In fact, this is not a secret, if you look carefully on the Internet, use keywords such as Qinghongguan and volley talismans to find, you will definitely be able to find some comments from tourists, but there are no photos taken on the spot.
Chen Xing can't shoot with such a good camera, and it's even more impossible for others.
Dong Xing looked at Chen Xing directly for so long and looked shocked, and said proudly: "Is it okay?" What are the two uniques in our Taoist temple? ”
"Yes, that's great."
The house of the Taoist temple alone is worth taking a photo, Chen Xing likes to take photos of this style, and the eaves here, the big incense burner or something, all have that kind of thick and simple temperament, and Chen Xing also heard that the big incense burner at the gate of the three Qing and four palaces in front of him is really something inherited from the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for the half-hour climb of the stairs to get here, it is estimated that this kind of thing would have been stolen long ago.
And it has been the last twenty years that there are stairs like this now, and before the millennium, it was completely winding roads, and it took half an hour to walk around, maybe only halfway there, or even a third, and it was even more difficult to steal the big things here. (End of chapter)
