The 11th True Dragon Gate White Cloud Temple (1)

Let's say that when everyone arrived in the capital and entered the capital, they saw a prosperous and lively scene. On both sides of the street, there are many teahouses and restaurants, rows of houses, various vendors on both sides of the street, and street stalls of all kinds of snacks and toys extend along the street. There is still an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, vendors are carrying their burdens and hawking, and the citizens are shopping and playing, and it is very lively.

Baiyun view is in the west gate of the capital, Baiyun view sits in the north and faces south, there is the star gate in front, it is a four-pillar seven-floor wooden structure archway, there is an amount before and after the main building, the front book "Cave Sky Shengjing", the back book "Qionglin Langyuan". There is a brick wall outside the Lingxing Gate, and the glazed carved brick with the words "Eternal Changchun" is embedded in the center of the wall. I saw that there were Taoists coming and going here, and it seemed that they were all here to participate in the Taoist conference.

The crowd continued to walk forward, and there was the mountain gate. At this time, they saw Xuanzhi Zhenren and Xuqing Zhenren coming towards them, and everyone hurriedly saluted the two old-timers.

Everyone looks at this mountain gate, the stone wall of the mountain gate is carved with flowing clouds, cranes, flowers and other patterns, its knife technique is vigorous, the shape is exquisite, and there is a palm-sized stone monkey hidden in the relief on the east side of the middle coupon door. The face is wide and three, the single eaves glazed tile rest the top of the mountain, the white marble carved arch coupon stone door, the eaves under the forehead book "build the Baiyun Temple", there is a stone lion table in front of the door. Xuanzhi Zhenren said: "This mountain gate was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very old. The virtual real person looked at the buildings around here and said, "The entire Baiyun Temple was rebuilt on a large scale on the original basis last year. ”

Entering the mountain gate is the Lingguan Palace, the Lingguan Hall is three rooms wide, one is deep, and the statue of the king Lingguan is enshrined inside. There are bell and drum towers on the east and west sides behind the Lingguan Palace, which is a square two-story building, the east is the drum tower, and the west is the bell tower, which is the opposite of other temple layouts.

Afterwards is the Jade Emperor Palace, is located on the tall "convex" character pedestal, the hall is five rooms wide, three front platforms, the ash tube is on the top of the mountain, the hall is for the statue of the Jade Emperor, the bronze statue cast in the Wanli period on both sides of the present is moved to other places.

Behind the Jade Emperor Palace, there is the Old Law Hall. The hall is three rooms wide, hooking up the building, and the front is out of the platform. The hall enshrines the statues of the seven disciples of the Quanzhen Dao patriarch Wang Chongyang, that is, the seven disciples of the Quanzhen patriarch Wang Chongyang: the middle seat is Qiu Chuji, the left is Liu Chuxuan, Tan Chuduan, Ma Yu, and the right seat is Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, and Sun Buer. On the right side of the platform outside the hall, a bronze mule is erected, which was originally the thing of Dongyue Temple, and then moved here.

The Void Halal True Man said: "The ancestor of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect, King Chang Yue, once preached the Tao here, opened the altar to teach the precepts, and the disciples who asked for the precepts were all over the country, and the Xuanfeng of the Daomen was invigorated. Later, in order to commemorate this event, the Seven True Hall was renamed the 'Old Vinaya Hall', that is, the hall where the precepts were taught. Ren Bujian asked: "What is the purpose of this?" Xuan Zhizhen said: "It is the main place for the religious activities of the Taoist priests in this temple, and the Taoist priests have to come here every morning and evening to chant the scriptures. ”

At this time, someone said: "Two old people, it's been a long time. When the people looked back, they saw several Taoists coming, and it was the middle one who spoke. The Taoist chief was in his eighties, wearing a dark robe, a beard, and a whisk in his hand. The Void Halal True Man and the Xuan Zhi True Man saluted and smiled: "It turned out to be Daoist Zhan." "This person is none other than Zhan Tailin, the ninth generation head of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect.

The old Taoist next to Zhan Tailin is his fellow disciple Fan Taiqing, and several Taoist priests behind him are several of Zhan Tailin's right-hand disciples, Mu Qingfeng, Tang Qingshan, and Zhang Qinghu. Zhan Tailin said: "Qingfeng, please entertain the two old people and the sons." Everyone followed Mu Qingfeng and walked inside.

After the old law hall and the chastity hall, there is a large flat land, and it is already full of people at this time.

Mu Qingfeng said: "Old man, in addition to the main branch of my Dragon Sect here, there are four branches. They are Zhou Tailang's Hangzhou Jingudong School, Pan Taimei's Tianzhuguan School, Tao Sixuan's Yunchao School, and Lu Taijin Bao Taikai's Suzhou Qiguanshan School. Although everyone is a branch, they are all under the same sect as my main branch of Longmen, under the sect of Patriarch Wang Changyue. Xuanzhi Zhenren said: "The Quanzhen Dragon Sect is really thriving. ”

Mu Qingfeng said: "My Longmen sect has also withered, and since the ancestor of Zhongxing, King Changyue, my Longmen sect has also become more and more prosperous. Mu Qingfeng turned around and raised his hand and said, "Two old people, heroes are here, please." Everyone sat down under Mu Qingfeng's arrangement. There was not much time, and Zhan Tailin, Fan Taiqing and others came in.

Zhan Tailin saluted and said: "Fellow Daoists, heroes, today is my Quanzhen Dragon Sect Daoist Conference, whether you are my Taoist or heroes from all walks of life, Poor Dao is grateful and welcome to your arrival, Poor Dao is polite here." The crowd returned the salute.

Zhan Tailin looked at the Xuqing Zhenren and the Xuanzhi Zhenren and said: "Here, I would like to introduce two Daoist Zhenren, the Xuqing Zhenren of the Kunlun Dao Sect and the Xuanzhi Zhenren of the Wudang Dao Sect. "The Xuanzhi Zhenren and the Void Halal Zhenren saluted to the Daoists.

Zhan Tailin said: "The Quanzhen Longmen faction takes the truth of Quanlaozhuang and the purpose of self-benefit. Generally speaking, the teachings of my Longmen sect inherit Zhong Lu's thoughts in terms of cultivation. The practice is mainly based on Dangong, and also cultivates the outer Dan talismans, advocating the dual cultivation of life, first cultivating nature, and then cultivating life. It is believed that cultivating the truth and cultivating nature is the only righteous way for Taoist priests to cultivate, to remove emotions and desires, to see the Tao clearly, and to make the heart quiet, so that they can return to simplicity and become immortals. ”

Fan Taiqing said: "The Longmen faction inherits the remnants of its ancestor sect Quanzhen Dao, and is famous for being proficient in Neidan studies. This is the biggest feature of my Quanzhen Dragon Sect compared to other Taoist sects. Zhan Tailin said: "The two most important ideas of my Quanzhen Dao are birth and health preservation, and the Chongyang Patriarch and the seven disciples of the Quanzhen Dao once said in their poems that life is also a sea of suffering, the door of the family is also a prison, and the husband and wife are also golden shackles and jade locks. Therefore, persuade people to jump out of the cage, see through fame and fortune, devote themselves to cultivation, and get rid of the sea of suffering. ”

Ren Bujian smiled after hearing this: "Daochang Zhan, in this way, don't you want everyone in the world to become biological children, so it's only a hundred years, and most of the people in the world will die." Ren Buru's words caused many people to laugh. The virtual innocent person reprimanded: "Uninhibited, no rudeness, Taoist realm, how can you talk so nonsense." ”

Zhan Tailin's face did not change, and he said with a slight smile: "Ren Gongzi is really outspoken, what he said is good." For cultivators, sincerity leads to spirituality. Lay people can enjoy the endless prosperity of the world, everything in the world has its two sides, although the cultivator cannot enjoy the prosperity of the world, but he will not be bothered by the trivial things of the world. Who does not have joy, sorrow, jealousy, greed, hatred, joy and anger? The Shariah is not the law, the law strengthens the man, and the Shariah persuades. Those who believe are self-disciplined, and those who do not believe, why force it? According to what you say, all monks and Taoists in the world have to marry wives and have children, so wouldn't all Taoist temples have to do happy events every three or five days, Ren Gongzi thinks this is appropriate. Ren Gongzi is talking about the world, and it is the individual who cultivates, not the world. ”

After listening to Zhan Tailin's words, everyone admired Zhan Tailin's teachings and knowledge and eloquence, and they all nodded and praised. Ren Bujian also deeply felt that this Taoist's attainments were far beyond his reach, Ren Bujian saluted and said: "Zhan Daochang is really a true person, I am really speechless, there were many rudeness just now, please forgive me." Zhan Tailin smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Zhan Tailin continued: "Another major thought of my Longmen Sect is the idea of health preservation. To sum it up, it is twenty words: still being honest and conservative, maintaining spirits, double cultivation of life, both internal and external, and being in harmony with the avenue. Qiu Zu is still honest and conservative in this regard, and does not make a fool of himself. Zhou Tailang of the Hangzhou Golden Drum Cave School said: "Yin Zhiping, a disciple of Qiu Zu, wrote this in the "Quotations of the Northern Journey". At that time, some people advised Qiu Zu to use less means, and he would be trusted by the world. Qiu Zu ignored it. As for repeatedly, the persuader is very beneficial. Qiu Zu laughed and said, 'I have learned a real word in 50 years, and I am not willing to give it up in one day'. ”

Zhan Tailin nodded and continued: "Immortal immortality is the basic belief of my Taoist family, no matter what genre or sect, this must be the same for the Void Pure True People and Xuan Zhi True People. The two nodded. "Many Taoist sects believe that after cultivation, the form and spirit can be immortal, so their belief is that the body and spirit live forever together, that is, the so-called ascension of the day. Zhan Tailin said, "This is the biggest difference from my Quanzhen Sect. This is not the case with my Quanzhen sect, which no longer pursues physical immortality in the belief in becoming immortals, but only pursues true liberation and the ascension of the yang god to heaven. The human body is to be destroyed, but the true nature of the human body or the yang god can be eternal. ”

Pan Taimei of the Tianzhu Guan School said: "There is still something insufficient for Daochang Zhan to say this, my Tianzhu Guan School also has Liu Chuxuan's "Zhizhen Quotations" among the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, which reads: 'Ten thousand forms will die when they are a hundred years old, and their sex will not die. ''The invisible way is true.'' Therefore, in the cultivation of Neidan, it is still necessary to cultivate both life and life. Zhan Tailin said: "It is true to clear one's heart and desires, and it is based on clear insight. Clarity is only the beginning, and the ultimate goal is to know the Tao. ”

Tao Sixuan of the Yunchao Sect asked, "Daoist Zhan, in your opinion, how should the various sects of my Quanzhen Dragon Sect cultivate?" Zhan Tailin said: "Back then, Qiu Zu once said that the first thing to do is to break through the barrier of life and death, no one in the world can escape life and death, and those who cultivate the Tao must look at it correctly. Secondly, it is emphasized that it is necessary to refine the mind and temper nature, and again, according to the changes of the four seasons of the Heavenly Dao, Qiu Zu believes that it must be done on the basis of the way of observing the heavens and the practice of holding the heavens. In other words, different cultivation methods must be adopted according to the different seasons. ”

Xuan Zhizhen said: "I have heard of this, Qiu Zu imitated the "Neijing Su Wen" and proposed the method of rebirth at four o'clock. Qiu Zu also had some unique views on the cultivation of Neidan. Zhan Tailin nodded and said, "Qiu Zu's opinion has had a great impact on the cultivation of the Inner Dan in the later generations of my Dragon Gate. ”

The Taoists were discussing here with relish, and Ren Bujian couldn't sit still there, seeing that Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang and others were still sitting there listening to their discussions.

He looked at the Chen family sisters, looked at his several teachers and nephews, coughed lightly twice and whispered: "Hey, I said everyone, do you feel bored, or let's go out for a walk, don't be bored here." Chen Zhixiang asked in a low voice, "Is this appropriate?" Ren Bujian said: "If you want to listen, you can continue to stay here." With that, he turned and ran out. The Chen sisters and several of Ren Buru's teachers and nephews also went out.

Everyone walked on the streets of the capital, and everyone had never been to the capital, and they had never seen such a lively and prosperous scene. Ren Bujian said: "I have everything you want to eat and play today." Everyone laughed and said, "Okay." "Everyone walks the streets, eats, drinks and has fun, so happy.

At this moment, Bo Xile, the head of the Changbai Mountain Sect, was also on the streets of the capital, and he rushed back to the capital from other places and took his disciples to find Kangxi to restore his life. There were many people on Ren Buji's side and his actions were ostentatious, Bosil turned his head and glanced at him and said in shock: "Ren Buji? Why is he in the capital, presumably Wang Qianyuan, Mu Laizhang and others are also in the capital." Thinking so, Bossile secretly followed Ren Bujian and the others.

Ren Bujian walked into a restaurant, and everyone sat around a large table. Ren Bujian said: "Shop, good wine and good food can come up." The shopkeeper responded.

At this time, they heard the sound of the rhythm of the bamboo board, and everyone looked and saw a young woman sitting outside the restaurant playing the bamboo board, this young woman was dressed simply, without any makeup on her face, not like a courtesan, but like a singer, humming and singing: "The little girl's home is in Donghe Village, and the government grabs land and dominates me." Forcing his father and mother to death, he is full of grievances and has nowhere to redress. ”

Ren Bujian listened and said: "The world is so big, this woman doesn't even have a place to redress her grievances, and the government can do any bad thing and oppress the people." Gan Quanyun said: "That's right, the government does everything except good things." And they gave generously to the woman.

At this moment, several officers and soldiers suddenly broke in and surrounded the woman, and the person at the head said: "Where did the Diao people come from, they actually slandered the government, demagogic people, and bewitched the public, arrest me." Seeing this, Ren Bujian suddenly shouted: "Where did the dog official come from, if he doesn't redress the people's grievances, it's just fine, and it's indiscriminate." After hearing this, the man looked back at Ren Bujian and said, "Arrest this person who insults the government." ”

Several officers and soldiers stepped forward to arrest Ren Unruly, and everyone here stood up with a "rub" on the ground. The people in the restaurant were so frightened that they ran out. Ren unruly raised his leg and kicked out a bench, which knocked over several officers and soldiers. Ren Unruly stepped forward, and a whirlwind leg kicked down at the faΓ§ade of several officers and soldiers. Ren Bujian took a step forward and held down a soldier, and a Wudang slapped out, and rushed over several with force, beating all the officers and soldiers to the ground. The man at the head drew his sword and said, "There is a great reward for catching this thief." "All the officers and soldiers brushed and drew their swords.

At this moment, a person came out of the corner of the restaurant, grabbed the leader and said, "Stop." When the officers and men saw this man and behind this man, there was a man who sat there without saying a word, but it seemed to be more terrifying than anything he had said.
