Chapter 123: Hot search in the same city, the mystery of the spirit snake (second update)
The snowflakes fell on Ye Qin's body, quickly covering the original color of the snake scales, and even completely covering him, revealing only a pair of eyes that were still outside.
However, the white bones next to it are not affected, after all, they are just visualizations, snowflakes shuttle through it, it holds the Taoist temple in its hand, and its eyes still fall on the original position of the Qingguan, which seems distant and profound.
Time seems to be frozen in this moment.
A snake and white bones, silver light flowed in it, and it was mixed with countless golden silk threads that were constantly swimming, and even the original ordinary snow became no longer ordinary.
The wind and snow were sudden, and the whirring wind was blowing from the side like a knife, but Ye Qin did not move at all and was not affected.
No matter how the external environment changes, his state of mind is calm, like a rock-solid Mount Tai.
At this moment, Ye Qin seems to be rooted in this plant, blending in with the surrounding land, and can clearly feel the meaning of vitality in it.
His location was right across from the Taoist Temple, watching the Taoist Temple slowly decline from its initial prosperity, and he also grew into a towering giant tree.
Everything is like a reincarnation.
That feeling was very realistic, and Ye Qin had an illusion in his trance, as if he had really become a plant near the Taoist temple.
At first sight, the voices of people were boiling, the cigarettes were curling, the statues of the gods in the Taoist temple were brightly colored, watching the crowd coming and going, and even the big tripod at the door, the incense ash inside was about to overflow.
At the end of the curtain, there were no people, the bright colors of the statues were gradually mottled, the inside of the Taoist temple was gradually covered with dust, and the previous Ding had already become broken and damaged.
Only two Taoist priests are left, guarding the ancient Taoist temple and still struggling to support it.
Ye Qin's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know if there was something special about the visualization object this time, which brought him an unprecedented novelty in his experience.
But for him, it's also a bonus.
The Taoist temple on the white bone hand began to tremble slightly, and the sound could not be described in words, as if it came from the void, and it was like an ancient bell.
These voices seemed to be unconscious murmurs, but when you listened carefully, they seemed to be some kind of scriptures related to Taoism, surrounding Ye Qin's side, almost deafening.
The road rushes to use it, or it is not profitable.
The abyss is like the sect of all things.
Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust.
Ye Qin carefully comprehended the meaning, and only felt that it had a deep meaning, and one by one golden symbols appeared on the Taoist temple on Bai Gu's hand, round after circle.
This symbol is a bit like the yin and yang gossip pattern of Taoism, and it is also a symbol of authentic Taoism.
These symbols and patterns are intertwined, full of supreme majesty.
Soon the heavy snow buried Ye Qin completely, and there was only a raised bulge on the ground.
The wind and snow have not stopped, and the visualization does not stop.
The snowflakes fell, but in a moment they turned into goose feather snow, and the green tiles on the Taoist temple were white.
There are a little more pure white embellishments in the smoke and green willows, and the original ancient and dilapidated outlines are also blurred by the heavy snow, as if the Taoist temple has been re-plated with a layer of color, showing a distant artistic conception.
Most of the surrounding area is covered with vegetation, and there is a Taoist temple building nearby.
The snow is vast, and only the ancient view can be seen.
Soon these green vegetation also fell white, wrapped in silver, and looked at it from a distance, as if there was only an ancient temple in the world.
Like a silent wise man, watching the reincarnation of the years, the wind and snowflakes turned his eyebrows white, leaving only a drooping old figure.
The ancient well inside the Taoist temple also fell a lot of snowflakes, and soon a thin layer of ice crystals covered it.
The old Taoist priest slowly made a move, and the crystal clear snowflakes fell in the center of his palm, and the cold and cold feeling clearly reminded him that everything in front of him was not an illusion.
The two Taoist priests looked at the heavy snow outside, looking at each other speechlessly, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
The little Taoist priest recovered from the excitement, and also found that the snow was too strange, and when he went to see the weather forecast, it still showed sunny weather.
The inexplicable arrival of this heavy snow also made them a little confused.
"Master, why is it snowing?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"There is a vision in the sky, and it can be seen that there must be something abnormal."
The little Taoist priest touched his chin and fell into thought, "What is an abnormal thing?" ”
He seemed to think of something, and patted his head sharply, "It can't be the snake!" ”
At first, the snake came to listen, then there was a scene of the idol breaking and kneeling, and now the snake appeared again, and even brought ginseng.
And shortly after it left, it suddenly snowed.
All kinds of accidents add up and can no longer be described as coincidences.
The more the little Taoist priest analyzed, the more excited he became, "The weather change must be because of that snake, so it seems that it is not an ordinary mortal, when I first saw it, I felt that this snake was a little extraordinary." ”
Taoism believes in animism, and there are many natural gods in the Taoist god system, such as the god of the sun, the prince of the east, the god of the moon Chang'e, the god of star fighting, the emperor Ziwei, and the god of Doumu Yuanjun.
The god of the main mountain, the Emperor of Wuyue, the god of water, the god of the four blasphemy gods, the god of fire Zhu Rong, etc., the trees have spirits, the stubborn stones can think, the birds and beasts can speak, nothing is not a god, no ghosts are not spirits.
The old Taoist priest nodded approvingly, and looked at his little apprentice playfully, "What you said also has some truth, but isn't it always a dragon to call the wind and rain?" ”
The little Taoist priest shook his head, "Master, you have fallen into a misunderstanding, they all say that it is not an ordinary snake, and there may be a big reason behind it, in this case, it doesn't seem strange to be able to let the flying snow fall." ”
When the words fell, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but touch his head, and said to himself with some puzzlement: "But then again, since it is really a spirit snake, why do you want to do this?" ”
The old Taoist priest couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, patted the apprentice's head, and quipped: "It's just a few jokes, why are you still serious?" Maybe there is something strange about that snake, but it is far from being as exaggerated as you say, and besides, these are just nonsense, don't think about it. ”
"Alright, let's do what we have to do."
"It's really rare to see such a snowy scene, just to review your previous homework."
The little Taoist's originally excited expression instantly fell, "No, Master, shouldn't we be enjoying the snow at this time, right, after all, such strange scenes are rare." ”
The old Taoist priest waved the dust and smiled slightly, "What you said is very good." ”
Before the little Taoist priest could be happy for a few seconds, he continued to speak, "But you are only half right, for the teacher to appreciate the snow, you review your homework." ”
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the little Taoist priest could only honestly begin to look through the scriptures.
The old Taoist priest even made a cup of tea quite leisurely, watching the snow from the window, but there was a special artistic conception, and the little Taoist priest's gaze occasionally fell outside the window.
The old Taoist priest's dust waved over, "Concentrate a little." ”
The snow fell silently, and just when there was silence, there was movement outside the Taoist temple.
The old Taoist priest got up from his chair, "What's the matter, I feel a little noisy outside." ”
The little Taoist priest immediately put down the book in his hand, "Yes, I don't know what happened." ”
……
At this moment, there are many people on the road leading to the Taoist temple, and the road, which was originally in disrepair, is crowded with cars, and even causes a certain amount of traffic congestion.
The sound of trumpets is endless, and the quiet path has become more lively than ever.
Because the road is narrow, the speed of the car is not fast, and there is a steady stream of cars coming in behind, so this phenomenon is the case.
These people were attracted by the sudden heavy snowfall.
The sun was shining all around, but it was covered with dark clouds, and soon the residents who lived in the surrounding area found that it was still snowing.
Many people come here to see this rare snow scene.
"I went, I saw the news on the Internet, someone said that it was snowing here, I thought it was someone pranking or joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"It's only been autumn for a long time, and it's snowing, which is really strange."
"Is this the first snow in autumn, I don't have to send it to a circle of friends to commemorate it."
"Although this place is a bit remote, and I almost took the wrong path when I first navigated, the scenery along the way is really good."
"It's sunny everywhere I drive, but as soon as I get here, it's dark, and the snow is falling, and it's like two worlds."
"When I heard that it was snowing here, I drove from the city, and it was still a little hot, and I felt a little cold when I got here."
Many people rushed over to see the snow, and the clothes they wore were still a little thin, and when they got out of the car, the cold wind blew, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm in a hurry to go out, so I brought a few more clothes if I knew it would be like this."
"Don't you think it's strange? Everything else is normal, except here the weather changes suddenly. ”
I don't know who mentioned it, and others also thought it was strange.
"It's true that there must be a demon when things go wrong, and according to the climate and geographical location of the fog capital, it is completely impossible to snow this month."
"That's strange, why is it snowing here alone, and the rest of the place is normal, could it be that there is something special here?"
Everyone was talking about it, because the road was too narrow, most of the people parked their cars in the open space nearby and chose to walk so as not to block the road.
Some people are afraid of the cold and enjoy it in the car, while others wear more clothes and start to explore around.
"I remember that there seems to be a Taoist temple around here, and my grandfather told me when I was a child."
"How can there be a Taoist temple in the wilderness, and it is so remote here, even if there is a Taoist temple, it will be abandoned long ago."
"Taoist temples, I have the impression that the Taoist temples in Longhu Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain are more famous, and now there are many temples, but there are fewer Taoist temples."
Just when everyone was talking, they soon found a bluestone path, and along the bluestone path, ancient buildings loomed.
The heavy snow gilded it with a faint silver edge, erasing the desolation and damage, but instead looked mysterious and solemn.
The snow falls on the eaves, the blue tiles, and the red wall skin are full of antique flavor.
Someone exclaimed, "Hey, there really is a Taoist temple here." ”
When I heard that there was a Taoist temple here, many people were attracted to it.
"I'll go, there really is a Taoist temple, I thought this place was deserted, but I didn't expect it to exist."
"It seems that I came here once when I was very young, and it seems that there were still people coming here at that time, but I didn't expect that after so many years, there are not many people in this place now."
"It's right to think about it, after all, this place is relatively remote, and ordinary people don't come to this place."
"But the scenery here is really good, why didn't I find such a good place before, next time I can bring my family to come over to go out and pick up the wind or something."
"The snow looks better, and it feels like Laojun Mountain."
While everyone was discussing, they stepped on the bluestone path, wanting to see if there was anyone in this temple.
And when the old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest walked out of the Taoist temple, they saw such a scene.
The little Taoist priest was dumbfounded, after all, the Taoist temple was remote, and no one usually came to visit, but it was the first time he saw so many people, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Master, there are so many people." ”
Although the old Taoist priest was a little surprised, he quickly regained his composure, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, welcome to all the donors. ”
The two Taoist priests in front of him, one old and one young, the older one, wearing Taoist robes and holding a whisk in his hand, looked like a master of the world.
With the scenery of the Taoist temple in the snow, there is really that kind of dusty momentum.
Everyone subconsciously gave birth to an inexplicable respect, and hurriedly replied: "Good Tao." ”
"You guys passing by here in the wind and snow, it's also a kind of fate, why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea?"
Looking at the old Taoist priest's kind appearance, everyone also wanted to go to the Taoist temple to have a look, "Then thank you Daoist." ”
There were so many people pouring into the Taoist temple at once, and the little Taoist priest was still a little uncomfortable, since he was a few years old and followed the master to learn the Tao, he had never seen such a lively Taoist temple.
"Dao Chief, may I ask if there are only two of you in the temple?"
"This temple looks like it's been around for some years, when was it built?"
The old Taoist priest nodded, his expression was not humble or silent, and patiently answered everyone's questions.
"This is the Shangqing Concept, which has a history of 300 years, and now only me and my disciples are left in the view."
Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't expect that the Taoist temple had a long history.
Compared with the big temples outside, the area of the Taoist temple is relatively small, but there are a lot of shapes and specifications that should be, and there are side halls in the main hall, as well as the side rooms next to it.
Although they are not clear about the layout of the Taoist temple, they also feel that they are a little exquisite, and they only feel comfortable in it.
"Why is it snowing in your place near here, this is really a bit abnormal, you must know that when we drove over, the road was still sunny."
I don't know who asked casually, I thought that Lao Dao didn't know the answer.
Who would have thought that the little Taoist priest couldn't help but speak, his voice was full of excitement, "It must be because of that spirit snake!" I knew it was extraordinary. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, "Spirit snake? There is no such thing as this. ”
The little Taoist priest was worried that there was no place to say it, and now the ready-made audience was here, and he immediately started to talk endlessly.
"Things have to start from a morning class, when Master and I were lecturing, suddenly a snake came from inside the Taoist temple, and the scales of that snake were like jade, and it was very human."
The little Taoist priest said that the painting was simply immersive, and everyone couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and the expression on his face changed from surprise to confusion at the beginning.
The little Taoist priest spread his hands, "That's how it is, and then you guys will come over." ”
"So little master, you mean that this snow fell from the snake?"
Everyone was a little unconvinced, because what spirit snakes listened to the sermon, sent ginseng, and called for wind and snow sounded too, and those who didn't know thought they were listening to some fantasy stories.
After all, how could a snake have such great ability.
"Little Master, your story is still very good."
The implication of the crowd is that there is a lack of authenticity, and they should listen to the story and laugh it off.
The little Taoist priest also knew that this kind of thing was difficult for people to believe, unless he saw it with his own eyes, but in fact, he had never seen the White Snake praying for snow, and everything was just his guess, although he was very excited, but in his heart he also boasted more.
"I'm not sure if the snow was caused by the snake, but it did send the ginseng."
Where has the little Taoist priest seen so many pilgrims, he couldn't help but take out the ginseng, everyone saw that this ginseng was indeed good, the human form was very complete, just like a white and fat villain, and the roots were also very strong and dense.
"I'm afraid this ginseng has been used for decades, and it is estimated that it can be sold for a lot of money."
"Little Master, this ginseng can't prove anything, maybe it was originally yours."
Everyone smiled, but they didn't take it seriously, after all, some Taoist temples and temples will make up some supernatural stories in order to make the incense better and attract people to come.
While everyone was chatting, I don't know when the wind and snow gradually stopped.
The snow came and went in a hurry, just as it had come, without warning, and it had left quietly.
The sky was as blue as a wash, like a lake with blue waves, and occasionally white clouds swept by, setting off a few ripples.
The weather suddenly returned to brightness, and the temperature quickly rose, as if the heavy snow just now was just an illusion, but many people present saw it.
The heavy snow came and went quickly, because of the heavy fall, and the Taoist temple was slightly white.
At this moment, the snow quickly melted away, dripping down the eaves, forming an intermittent rain curtain, like pearls rolling down on the bluestone ground.
The tick-tock sound is endless, and it sounds very interesting.
"Come and see!"
There was an exclamation outside, and everyone hurriedly ran out.
I don't know if it's their illusion, but the Taoist temple after the snow seems to be renewed, as if it has been rested by a pair of invisible big hands.
At the right time, a golden halo crossed the entire Taoist temple, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, and the original old Taoist temple was contaminated with inexplicable wonders.
The halo was so large that it covered almost the entire temple and spread towards the mountain not far away.
But because of the angle problem, and the fact that everyone is in the Taoist temple, it looks like the Taoist temple itself is emitting inexplicable golden light.
Such a scene shocked everyone present, and there was an inexplicable awe in their hearts, and they felt more and more that this place was miraculous, like the Thunder and Fire Refining Hall of Wudang Mountain.
"How can this be, this golden halo is really amazing."
"Is there really anything extraordinary about this Taoist temple?"
"There was no snow in other places before, only heavy snow fell near the Taoist temple, and now that the snow has stopped, there is such a halo on the Taoist temple again, it is not a fairy apparition!"
It was hard to imagine that there was any other reason, after all, such miracles could no longer be explained by common sense, and there was no way for humans to cause such a phenomenon.
Soon, someone put their hands together and bowed devoutly to the Taoist temple.
With the first, there will be a second, a third
The crowd, which had been a bit noisy, became quiet at the moment, and everyone silently folded their hands and watched the miracle appear.
Even the old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest were stunned, and the expression on their faces gradually became serious, and they silently recited the Taoist scriptures in their mouths.
……
Ye Qin on the other side saw that the wind and snow stopped, he also slowly opened his eyes, and the white bones slowly dissipated.
No one noticed that the source of the golden light was in his position.
In Ye Qin's visualization, he unconsciously exuded a bit of aura, because heaven and earth were not ordinary snow, it was a kind of calamity, so it could reflect this wisp of aura.
This also forms the existence of the halo that these people see.
In fact, this is not a miracle, that is, a natural phenomenon, just like the Buddha light that someone once saw in the Leshan Giant Buddha, as well as the Buddha closed his eyes and other events.
In fact, it is all caused by the refraction of light and the different angles, but in the eyes of the naked eye, it is indeed somewhat sacred.
"In this way, it can be regarded as cause and effect, and I think this Taoist temple should gradually get better in the future."
The success of this trip was conceived, and it was worth it, Ye Qin glanced at it with satisfaction and left, thinking that the cause and effect between himself and the Taoist temple were completely over, and there was no longer any entanglement.
The Taoist temple under the golden halo looks extraordinary, adding countless mysteries, and even those old appearances seem to have become the precipitation of time and years.
This matter quickly spread, after all, many people saw these miraculous scenes at that time, and also took photos and uploaded them to the Internet, and many people learned about the location of the Taoist temple and rushed to visit Shangxiang.
It was even on the news of Wudu, and TV stations reported on it.
"It is reported that there was a strange weather phenomenon in the suburbs of the city, suddenly it snowed heavily, without any warning, although it did not last long, but many citizens have witnessed it, the meteorological observatory shows that this weather is not normal, the cause of the formation is being explored, and our station will continue to track and report on this matter,"
The TV station only reported the news of the sudden heavy snowfall, and did not explain the Taoist temple, but the Internet news was developed, and many people also took photos of the Taoist temple and the nearby golden light.
It can be seen that the Taoist temple is strange, and it has been on several hot searches for a while, and it quickly climbed to the first place in the hot search in the same city.
Even if the Taoist temple is remote, what can it be, it can't stand the miracles that have appeared here, for a time people come and go, the road is blocked, and even this is an inaccessible wilderness in the end, even the traffic police have been dispatched.
Nowadays, there is a very famous saying circulating on the Internet, between going to work and being motivated, I chose Shangxiang.
It is enough to show the enthusiasm of the world for this kind of thing.
The old Taoist priest and the little Taoist priest didn't expect that after that, the Taoist temple was suddenly overcrowded, and some people even began to squat in order to put on the first incense.
The Taoist temple itself is not large, it cannot accommodate so many people, and the number of people it can receive every day is limited, and there is a long queue outside, which can be said to be an unprecedented grand occasion.
People are all conformists, and people who don't know the truth see such a scene here, and they also rush over to join in the fun.
Shangqingguan can be said to be popular overnight in the fog, everyone knows it, even tourists from other places know about this place, and anyone who comes to Wudu will definitely go to Shangqingguan.
It can be said that people come and go, and pilgrims gather.
It stands to reason that if you make money at this time, you can definitely make a lot of money if you come up with something like a rune paper bracelet, but the old Taoist priest didn't.
still according to the daily routine and living habits, he never overcharges, and even some arrogant pilgrims want to donate more incense money, he will stop it.
In fact, most people don't really believe, but they just read the news on the Internet so they came over, and they are completely in the heart of following the herd.
But the old Taoist priest also has the ability to make real materials, and occasionally unsign for others, and the words he says are quite philosophical.
Moreover, he is well-informed, he can answer a few sentences no matter what he says, he will listen carefully to the complaints and dissatisfaction of the pilgrims, and even patiently enlighten.
After the popularity on the Internet has passed, the number of people who come is not as exaggerated as it began, but it is still in an endless stream every day, which is entirely because of the old Taoist priest's own ability, which has been recognized by the people, and feels that this Taoist temple has this thing.
If something suddenly becomes popular, and there is no corresponding strength in the follow-up, it will be quickly forgotten in today's ever-changing world.
So there are still many people who come here, in addition to the miracles mentioned on the Internet, but also because of the skills of the old Taoist.
After the incense was vigorous, the master and apprentice did not think about improving their lives, but first rested the Taoist temple.
When the little Taoist priest thinks about it to this day, it feels like a dream.
"Master, do you remember, there was a little girl who once came to the Taoist temple, saying that she was entrusted by the mountain god, and later, the snake appeared."
The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and stood in front of the main hall, looking at the turquoise that bloomed again after the snow melted, and his expression was a little distracted.
"Yes."
"Could it be that the snake is the mountain god?"
"I don't know."
"If the mountains really have gods, and the snakes really have spirits, why do they come to us for snowfall?"
Looking at the endless stream of pilgrims not far away, and even the bluestone slabs were full of people, it was absolutely impossible to put it in the past.
The cigarette smoke curled up, enveloping the entire Taoist temple, and the eyebrows and eyes of the master and apprentice also seemed to be contaminated with a bit of incense, and their eyes were particularly far-reaching and long.
After half a ring, the old Taoist priest suddenly sighed faintly.
"I think, I see."
The little Taoist priest couldn't read the complicated emotions in Lao Dao's eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do you understand?" ”
"It's an outsider, and everything is cause and effect." Lao Dao replied with a smile.
“?” The little Taoist priest was at a loss.
Lao Dao didn't say anything, just smiled, "When you grow up, you will slowly understand." ”
As time passes day after day, looking at the Taoist temple where the incense is becoming more and more prosperous, it is no longer idle, but the old Tao and the small way are happy every day, if there is any regret.
I just hope to see the little girl again.
It's a pity that as time went by, the little girl never came again......
