One hundred and ninety, the true immortal view
In the first month, Tianjin Wei out of the concession, everywhere is full of joy, although there are many poor people in Tianjin, but all year round the end of the food and clothing, in fact, for the New Year, these days have some food and clothing.
In the old years, whether it was a trader or a worker, there was no public holiday, only the May Festival and August had half a day off in a year, and the rest was only a few days off during the New Year, so Chinese New Year's Eve to the fourth day of the first month, all the shops on the street were closed for rest, and even the people who did small business were very few.
Although the foreigners in the concession are not the same as the Spring Festival, many of these shops are also operated by Chinese, and they are naturally closed for business these days, so even the concession is much quieter than usual. But on the fifth day of the new year, all the businesses and shops are open, and the street suddenly becomes bustling.
Han Dada'er came to the west with Xiao Jude and Lao Bai to see the excitement of the True Immortal Temple. Although he was reluctant, he thought hard about the case to no avail, and he could only look around everywhere to relieve the boredom in his heart. On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there was a heavy snowfall, and the old man said that the snow melted is water, and the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is to lead the God of Wealth to the Five Roads, and the water is wealth, which is a good omen for the God of Wealth to send wealth.
At this time, the heavy snow has not yet melted, and the snow is covered in snow, showing a northern scenery. At this time, a north wind blew, the snow flew and silver dust covered the sky, and the ice crystals flew like stars. When Han Da'er saw this beautiful scenery of ice and snow, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart and his spirits were greatly lifted.
Several people walked forward, and after walking for a long time, they saw a low house in front of them, and there was a large open space behind the house, and a towering Taoist temple rose from the ground. Although it is the middle of winter at this time, the two rows of welcoming pines outside the view are still vigorous and green, upright and abnormal, and the snow-covered pine branches are silver and white and lush, which is a natural scene.
This place is the northwest of Xida Wanzi, which was originally just a wasteland of private houses, and Han Daring has not been here for a long time, and I don't know when such a Taoist temple was raised.
The wall of the Taoist temple is very high, the red wall is very solemn, there is an archway in front of the mountain gate, and there are four big characters of "the unity of heaven and man" in the book. In front is the tall mountain gate, there is a plaque, and the book has the words "True Immortal View".
At this time, the gate of the Taoist temple was wide open, and many people were flocking into the mountain gate one after another, holding incense and candles in their hands, and kept looking into the courtyard.
Han Dada'er and the three of them also followed the people to the Taoist temple, and then looked towards the mountain gate, and saw a huge three-legged tripod furnace in the front yard, the furnace was carved with the sun, moon and stars gossip clouds, and the green smoke in the furnace curled up, like a purple glow, rising and hovering in mid-air, and only dispersed with the wind after a while.
The left and right sides of the front yard are equipped with halls, one color is deep, one color is bright, and the plaque on the door is written on the left auxiliary and the right bi respectively. On the stone steps in front of the temple on the left and right. On one side, the yin is engraved with the young yang of the four elephants, and the other side is engraved with the taiyin. Although the doors of the left and right side halls were closed, they were also full of worshippers holding incense and candles.
Further ahead is a tall main hall, the dougong eaves are very majestic, the green tile red pillar is tall and solemn, eight vermilion lacquer gates, the hollow pane is engraved with Yunxia gossip carving, the door is just above the black plaque of a piece of golden silk nanmu, the book "one yuan hall" three words.
Little Jews and Lao Bai have lived in Jinmen for a long time, not only can speak Chinese, but also know Chinese characters, and the little Jews don't think it's strange to see the plaques on the left and right side halls, but when they see the Yiyuan Hall on the main hall, they almost laugh out loud.
Lao Bai didn't understand why a religious hall had one yuan written on it, and asked:
"Does this Taoist temple still charge money when you enter the door? One dollar per person? ”
The little Jew grinned and said:
"It's the real price, and even the ticket price is clearly stated!"
As soon as the two of them said this, they were immediately glanced at by the believers around them, but when the believers saw that it was two foreign devils who came together to join in the fun, they didn't say anything anymore, held the incense in their hands, and walked straight forward.
Han Daring said:
"If you two don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"
Little Jew said:
"It's up to you to know the race! Aren't you most tired of these feudal superstitious things? ”
Han Daring said:
"Although I don't believe this, in order to solve the case, I read a lot of books that touch on the bypass! The one dollar on this plaque does not mean one dollar, but the beginning of one yuan, symbolizing the beginning of the universe and the chaotic state before man is born! ”
The little Jew only cares about all kinds of food in Tianjin, and loves to watch the excitement like Tianjin people, but he is not interested in religion at all, but his family has a tradition of religion, so he can't go to the synagogue once a week. In contrast, these Chinese Buddhism and Taoism always hold some dojos and pujas, which are much more interesting.
Lao Bai himself has no religious beliefs, and it is all the attention of the little Jews who come to see the excitement, so he doesn't care about the name of the plaque in this temple.
It's just that Han Daring faintly feels that this Taoist temple is full of weirdness, the general Taoist temple's side hall is mostly called "Lingguan", "Zixiao" and "Xuantong", few of them are called Zuofu and Youbi, and the main hall is mostly "Sanqing", "Jade Emperor", "Sanguan" and the like, no one will use Yiyuan as the name of the main hall.
At this time, the believers gathered more and more, the door of the Yiyuan Hall was wide open, and I saw two rows of Taoist priests sitting in the main hall, holding magic weapons, percussion and chanting, more than a dozen small Taoist priests, maintaining order outside the temple gate, trying not to let the believers pour into the main hall and disturb the dojo.
This hall is very high, and the sunlight cannot shine directly into it, so there are many lights and candles lit in the hall, which illuminates the hall brilliantly. The temple is enshrined neither the "Three Qings" nor the "Four Emperors", but a six-armed statue with bare feet and a majestic appearance.
Han Daring saw that ordinary Taoist temples were mostly dedicated to Taishang Laojun, Lingbao Daojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, or Taoist gods such as the Arctic Yousheng Zhenjun and the Emperor of Gouchen Shanggong, but he had never seen this statue enshrined in the Yiyuan Palace, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Then the little Jew asked:
"Who is this for? Six arms, Nezha? ”
Lao Bai asked:
"What is Nezha?"
Although he can also speak Chinese, he is not interested in music such as storytelling, unlike the little Jew who has heard the "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" said by Mr. Nanshi storyteller, knows Nezha's troubles in the sea, and the allusions of three heads and six arms.
Little Jew said:
"Just a child in the sea! Slaughter the dragon! ”
As soon as he said this, Lao Bai was even more confused, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
Han Daring said:
"It's definitely not Nezha!"
At this time, a believer holding incense next to him glanced at the three of them and said disdainfully:
"Don't be if you don't understand! At this time, the Three Realms Infinite Ten Thousand Souls are truly slaughtered! ”
Han Daring saw that it was a half-old man who spoke, and he didn't care about him, just thought, he didn't seem to have heard of such an immortal in Taoism.
At this time, a Taoist priest with white eyebrows and black beard, holding a whisk, walked from the apse to the front hall in front of the statue.
This Taoist priest wears a crown of Jiuliang Dao, pedals on water socks and clouds, wears a purple robe, embroidered with clouds and clouds, and a red fire dragon, dwelling between the gossip, hidden in the clouds and mist. I saw him reciting the mantra with a whisk in his hand, his bearing was extraordinary, and he was like a fairy wind and bones.
At this time, four people shouted outside the mountain gate, and these four people carried a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay this sallow man, covered with a quilt with sunken cheeks, and his body was thin, and his face was full of sickness, and he couldn't stop coughing. There was also a woman beside the stretcher, who was crying and wiping her tears, shouting "Fairy help"! With the stretcher breaking into the view.
When everyone saw that it was a sick man seeking medical treatment, they all gave way, and when they came to the Yiyuan Palace, they put down the stretcher, and the woman immediately bowed down, and kowtowed to the old Taoist of the fairy wind and bones, and said:
"My grandfather has typhoid fever, and he is so sick that he is about to go back to the West! Ask the old fairy for help! ”
When all the people present heard that the sick man had typhoid fever, they hurried back, but the old man listened to the woman's words, but was not afraid, and ordered the man to be carried into the main hall, placed in the temple, and then lifted the man up and sat down cross-legged.
Lao Dao took out a glass of water, then picked up a spirit rune, shook his hand, and the spirit rune immediately ignited by itself, Lao Dao turned the spirit rune into water and fed the sick man to drink.
The little Jew was amazed, but Han Daring said in a low voice:
"It's all a trick!"
The half-grown old man, who glanced at Han Da'er just now, turned his head and said with a frown:
"You know how young you are! The sky is long, and the five thunder real fire is used to ignite the spirit rune! ”
Han Dada'er said:
"What five thunders are really hot! It was flint dust and white phosphorus, mixed together......"
Before he finished speaking, several men, women and children around him cast angry eyes and glared at Han Da'er, if it weren't for the fact that he was tall and strong, very powerful, it is estimated that these believers would have beaten him up a long time ago!
Han Daring said in his heart, these people are superstitious and thoughtful, and it is useless to explain so much to them, so he will not continue.
At this time, the sound of all the Taoist priests in the main hall chanting the mantra, and the sound of the drum music of the Dharma instrument was even stronger. Lao Dao sat behind the sick man, stretched out his two fingers to pinch a sword trick, chanted in his mouth for a while, and then stretched out his finger to hit him in the back of the heart, and waved the dust whisk against the man's waist with the dust whisk, and silently recited the mantra in his mouth.
The man was sick and weak at first, but when the old Taoist recited the mantra, he gradually reacted. At this time, Lao Dao stood up, stepped on the spot, waved the dust, and then sat cross-legged on the futon.
At this time, Han Daring whispered to Little Jew and Lao Bai:
"This is all some charlatans, the woman and the patient are arranged childcare, I don't believe it, don't go to the doctor when you get sick, come to the Taoist temple to drink some water, let the old Taoist be cured with a few clicks!"
Although his voice was not high, it was still heard by the surrounding believers, and one of the young women wrinkled her eyebrows, turned around with anger on her face, and said:
"You Hu Qin! I had typhoid fever and malaria, and I was cured by a true Taoist! There are a lot of people here! ”
Han Da'er only knew at this time that this old Tao, Dao No. 1 Zhenzi, was the master of the True Immortal Temple.
The surrounding believers were very angry when they saw this big man, and they kept "talking nonsense", obviously these people were very convinced of Yizhenzi, and they were almost like gods!
At this time, a true son sat on the futon, suddenly a burst of smoke rose, a real son with the smoke, actually floated in the air, the people present couldn't help but be in an uproar, one after another, bowed down, kept kowtowing, and called the living immortals.
Only Han Dada'er Xiao Jude and Lao Bai stood in the courtyard, and there was an old lady next to her, and she reached out and pulled Han Dada'er's trouser leg, and said in a low voice:
"Young man! Bow down to the old gods! Look! The old fairy can soar through the clouds! ”
Xiao Jude and Lao Bai were not surprised this time, these two had seen circus performances before, and knew that there was a move to fly in the air in Western magic, but they actually used extremely thin steel wires to hang their bodies. Although there are a lot of lights and candles lit in the main hall, after all, it is darker than the outside, even if there is a steel wire hanging from a real child, it is impossible to see it at all!
Han Daring guessed that Yi Zhenzi used this trick to confuse the believers and make everyone think that he could really volley into the void.
Han Daring knew that this steel wire was extremely thin, it must have hung down from the top of Yi Zhenzi's head, tied to a hook above his shoulders and back, the hook was connected to a strap and tied to his waist, but at least two steel wires, one left and one right, so as to make the body stable, otherwise as long as he moved slightly, his body would be crooked and uncontrollable.
He couldn't see the position of the wire, he could only look at the top of Ichiko's shoulder, and threw the iron chopsticks with a very fast technique, but at this time, it was not a direct shot, but let the iron chopsticks race towards the bamboo dragonfly, spinning over, so that the two iron chopsticks could ensure that at least one hit the extremely thin steel wire.
He shot extremely quickly, and coupled with the chanting of mantras and the sound of drums in the Taoist temple, no one noticed that he had shot two hidden weapons.
I saw two iron chopsticks flying towards the top of Ichi's shoulder, but unexpectedly, the iron chopsticks did not have any hindrance, and flew over Ichizako's shoulder, but he was still as steady as Mount Tai, floating steadily in the air.
At this moment, Han Daring couldn't help but be dumbfounded! Xindao, the iron chopsticks spin and fly in a wide range, how can he not touch the wire, so he shot again, and three iron chopsticks flew in succession, not only aiming at the top of the shoulders of a real son, but also connecting the top of the head, and the oblique side of the shoulders. But the three iron chopsticks shot straight behind Ichiko without hindrance, just like just now, and nailed to the wall behind the idol!
The sound of drums and chanting just masked the sound of iron chopsticks entering the wall, so no one noticed that someone had fired a hidden weapon, but Han Dada'er didn't give up, and pulled out a few iron chopsticks and wanted to shoot again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the real man waved the dust left and right, his body floated slightly, and then slowly fell from the air, and after he landed cross-legged, he stood up suddenly, suddenly shouted, waved the dust, and shouted:
"The Three Realms Infinite Ten Thousand Spirits True Slaughter, the solution to exorcise evil spirits, the heavenly thunder to help me!"
With a loud shout, the huge statue of the god not far behind him suddenly burst into lightning, like a god descending from the heavens, thunder and lightning, and the power was earth-shattering!
