Mei Shui said: "The Tianyuan Temple seems to be a smooth four-sided cone, but in fact, it is secretly divided into nine layers, and each layer has a hidden portal. The Hall of Morality, dedicated to the six great virtues, is on the ninth floor at the very top. ”

"I'll just go straight to the top."

While speaking, he kept smiling, like an innocent child.

Xu Zhenyun hesitated: "Is it from the stairs in front of you to climb the stairs, every step is down-to-earth, until you reach the highest place?" ”

The plum water bottle poked out his neck, his eyes were round, and he said, "Do you have any special habits for laymen?" Is it masochistic? Or do you love to exercise? ”

As he spoke, he waved lightly, and a giant black bird appeared in the air, hovering three feet above the ground, flapping its wings.

The shape of the giant bird resembles that of an eagle, with a silver-black body similar to that of pig iron, and its wings are nearly three feet apart.

Xu Zhenyun took a closer look and immediately found that although this giant bird was lifelike, it actually had no life, and it was actually an artificially made puppet.

But it's not an "iron bird", it's a wood bird.

The plum water bottle gently leaned on Mu Niao's back, and asked with a concerned face: "If the layman likes to climb, I will take the first step and wait for you on it?" ”

Xu Zhenyun hurriedly said: "Don't mind! ”

Bending his knees slightly, he immediately jumped onto the back of the wooden bird.

Mei Aquarius's gaze swept over Xu Zhenyun, covering his mouth and chuckling, with a cunning appearance in the corners of his eyes.

Then the sword finger was pinched, and the wooden bird carried the two straight up!

Xu Zhenyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: he was put on the spot by this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This little bald donkey is clearly a treacherous man.

Those who enter the Tianyuan Temple for the first time tend to be solemn and pious. Walking up the ladder, very intuitive; I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, the newcomers will think like this.

This guy must have seen too much, and he deliberately teased himself just now.

But in half an hour, the wooden bird flew to the top of the "pyramid", and the plum water bottle and Xu Zhenyun jumped down.

It is not very clear from below, but it is clear at a glance when you get closer. The "top of the tower" is not boxy, but a rectangle, narrow on both sides and deep and long. Vaguely visible, it seems to be a series of vertical buildings, connected front and back.

The building in front of you is paved with blue bricks. The brick surface looks dull and old, simple and solemn; But to capture the details, every piece of green brick is smooth and pure, and there is not a trace of crack in sight.

The main entrance was the purest black, with no handles or door nails on it, and Xu Zhenyun couldn't even tell whether it was made of fine iron or other special materials.

There is a plaque inlaid above the lintel, but it is empty and does not have a word.

As for the scale of the building, it is not very eye-catching, only the size of an ordinary house, which is far from being comparable with the "Hongfa Palace" of the Great Jin Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that this is the highest point of the "Tian Yuan Temple", where the six supreme masters of heaven and earth are worshipped.

As the plum water bottle chanted, the door suddenly and slowly opened.

Then he turned lightly, stretched out his left hand, and made a "please come in" pose.

Xu Zhenyun stepped in.

Once inside, a subtle ripple rose in Xu Zhenyun's heart.

Just now, Xu Zhenyun looked at himself, and he only felt that the inside was extremely deep, and it was about a little darker than at dusk; But when I entered, I felt that it was unusually bright.

In addition, when viewed from the outside, the cyan walls and pure black front door are solemn and old, but they are clean and tidy, almost unreal, as if they have been washed by fresh rain.

But inside this temple, you can vaguely see the dust floating and gray.

But looking at the underground, there is not a single trace of dust on the yellow wax ground, as if all the dust is floating in the air.

The old and the new, the ancient and the modern, the dirt and the pure, are extinguished in this small temple.

As for the furnishings in the hall, there are no superfluous items, only a statue of a person more than one zhang high.

Xu Zhenyun looked at the statue.

The statue is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and although he wears a hat, he can be seen to be smooth and clean under the hat, without a trace of hair.

The middle-aged man was slightly hunched over, wearing an earthy yellow linen coat, and a string of brown necklaces hung around his neck, a total of eighteen beads, each of which was the size of a fist.

Overall image ...... Like a monk!?

Xu Zhenyun only felt that this statue was very "kind", and it did not have the "solemn" appeal of temples and churches in his previous life, but it made Xu Zhenyun feel relaxed, as if his mood and thoughts were more active than usual.

Mei Aqua and Xu Zhenyun looked at it together, and said at this time: "This is the first great virtue in heaven and earth, Mr. Yuanmo." ”

Xu Zhenyun came back to his senses suddenly, and asked later: "Need to kneel?" ”

As a traverser, although Xu Zhenyun advocates independence and freedom, he has not yet reached the advanced stage of middle and second diseases such as shouting "my life is up to me", and he is not very resistant to kneeling down to worship the immortals.

Soon after he was born, he was passed to Erlang God by his mother according to rural customs, and I don't know how many Bodhisattva gods and goddesses kowtowed when I was a child.

Mei Shuiju shook his head with a smile and said, "No need." ”

"In fact, today's Xinyuan Continent, ordinary people see monks, or between monks of different levels, between officials and people, gradually do not prostrate and prostrate, why is this? Of course, it's a top-down infection. ”

"But it's worth mentioning that the etiquette of meeting the six great masters is different - you can do whatever I want."

"Worship Mr. Motomo, with namaste."

As soon as the words fell, Mei Shuihua's expression suddenly became serious, and he folded his palms in front of his chest and bowed to the statue.

Xu Zhenyun imitated as usual.

It seems that today's ordinary people see cultivators and officials in vain, and they are mainly based on the "namaste ceremony".

Mei Aqua's expression suddenly became calm, and his voice seemed to be low, but it was very clear: "Mr. Yuanmo, the name of the worldly manifestation is Bhada Yuanmo. ”

"From ancient times to 80,000 years ago, the Xinyuan Continent was originally in the era of demons dancing wildly and being ignorant, until Mr. Yuanmo came from the sky and named it 'Force', opening the era of "wandering in all directions and preaching with fate", known as the first era under chaos. A bowl, a pair of bare feet, stepping all over the heart of the continent of thousands of mountains and rivers. ”

"Among the six great virtues, it is known as the 'first ascetic'."

"Praise said: Dancing into the mortal dust, igniting the great avenue."

Xu Zhenyun has heard of Mr. Yuanmo's general deeds; But at this time, listening to the plum water bottle tell it again, it seems that I have an inexplicable understanding.

But to capture the specific thoughts, there is no trace of them.

Also, among the ten major inheritances of cultivation today, I don't seem to have heard of the category of "power"?

Was it lost later?

After standing for about two or three minutes, the plum water bottle smiled: "Okay." Let's go to the next temple. ”

Xu Zhenyun was slightly stunned, this is the end of worshipping the first great virtue?

I thought there would be any special lectures and baptism ceremonies next......

It's too casual, right?

Xu Zhenyun came to the back of the hall with the plum water bottle.

The back door is a small domed door more than two feet wide. Through the small door, you can see that behind you is a secular courtyard, connected to the next building by a small courtyard.

In the courtyard is a bluestone path, and there are yellow bells and green tripods more than one person high on the left and right.

But when Xu Zhenyun stepped out of the small door, his footsteps did not step on the bluestone path, and there was a transformation in front of him, and he found that he was already in the hall of the second hall.

It seems that the part of the middle courtyard has been completely "skipped".

Looking up, the layout here is exactly the same as the first hall, and it is still the only one.

This statue is tall and mighty, with a national face, hair casually draped, a big red robe on the body, inlaid with black edges, and there is no majestic and unbridled "magic road" style.

Xu Zhenyun inexplicably felt that this statue was a bit familiar, and after a little recollection, he immediately remembered that it was actually very similar to the Moon Worship Sect Master in the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Mei Aqua said: "Meet Mr. Yuxun, and use it to return the salute." ”

After speaking, the right palm of the plum water bottle was placed vertically in front of his chest, and he turned in a circle on the spot, and then bowed his head.

At this time, Xu Zhenyun knew that everything was as natural as it was, and there was no need to be too restrained. Following the imitation of the action of the plum water bottle, it is also full of interest.

After the ceremony, the plum water bottle said leisurely: "Mr. Yuxun, Xinyuan Benzhou pseudonym Gu Yuxun, came into the world 70,000 years ago. He opened up a line of metaphysical paths, developed the path of cultivation into the 'meditation gong' of silent practice and inner travel of the mind, and opened up a sect in the deep mountains. ”

"Since then, the two oldest sects have been born - one is the 'Strength Dao' transmission of the 'Strength Dao' taught by Mr. Yuanmo, known as the 'Xuanwu Jingshe', and the other is the 'Xuandao' lineage passed on by Mr. Yu Xun, known as the 'Taiqing Dao Sect'."

"The subordinate branches of these two major sects have also sprung up one after another."

"Since then, the Xinyuan Honzhou has entered the second era, known as the era of the sect."

"As far as Mr. Yuxun's divine will can see, it is all over every life form in the Heart Yuan Continent. Where wisdom goes, it entrusts the body of immeasurable beings. What you see is what I see, and what you know is what I know. Under one realm, there is no secret. Therefore, it is known as 'the first to hear more'. ”

"There is praise and says: Legacy and independence, the witty saying is Xuanzong."

Xu Zhenyun was stunned and secretly realized.

At this moment, he already knew very well in his heart that this trip to the Tianyuan Temple was not as ceremonial as the church worship in his previous life; But the more this is the case, the subtle truth is often hidden in the casual details.

It seems that it is not a thought, and it seems that it is not remembered.

Moreover, for the vast majority of ordinary people, for the Dao of Xinyuan Honzhou, they all know the beginning and the end - Mr. Yuanmo who opened up the Dao and Mr. Chaoyin who established the Dao Xuanjing and saved the Dao. I know a little less about the deeds of the four great masters in the middle.

What the plum water bottle said is really something that he can't know.

After the worship was completed, the two went to the third temple.

The statue in this hall is an old man with a clear appearance, with a scarf on his head, three wooden hairpins side by side on his hair bun, wearing a pale cyan robe that seems to be washed white, and holding a scroll in his hand, which looks like the image of ancient Confucianism, so that Xu Zhenyun inexplicably thinks of many portraits and sculptures such as Confucius, Mencius, Chengzi and Zhuzi.

The third great virtue, Mr. Zhiyang.

The prostrations are also relatively simple, with the two fingers of the right hand forming a "sword finger" and then nodding slightly.

Mei Shui said: "Mr. Zhiyang, the worldly name Zhang Zhiyang, was born 60,000 years ago. He opened up a line of 'Dharma Dao', established the sect 'Crescent Moon Sect', and discovered the wonderful use of 'entering the WTO', dividing the two methods of cultivation of birth and WTO. ”

"Sitting alone in the mountains, it is inevitable that the mind will be difficult and in vain. Entering the world and walking, washing one's body in the red dust, mingling with mortals, can remove the disadvantages of withering one's heart. ”

"Since then, the cultivators no longer hide in the deep mountains and forests, the blessed heavens and the blessed lands of the sects to retreat and meditate, and only control the secular dynasty when they need to allocate resources; Instead, he began to get close to the world and play the red dust. ”

"There is an insurmountable rift between the monk and the ordinary man."

"Mr. Zhiyang left a copy of "My Heart Deep Secret Sutra", on the law, heaven and earth, and people, mysterious and mysterious. A volume of mantras can solve all the problems of the past and the future, and remove all troubles; Therefore, it is known as 'wisdom first'. ”

"There is praise and said: vacuum is wonderful, and the way is against the neighbor."

Xu Zhenyun's heart moved, and he asked: "When Mr. Yuanmo was traveling in all directions, didn't he belong to the close world?" ”

The plum water bottle did not explain the reason, but gave a very concise answer: "Of course it does not be." ”

Xu Zhenyun nodded.

Easily, meet the six great virtues, and the trip is more than halfway through.

How do you feel in your heart...... It seems that there is really not much difference from entering the temple tour? The little bald donkey next to him is his own tour guide?
