Chapter 3 Tour Baiyun Temple
"Hey, it's Brother Xiaolu. I saw a small gap open in the door of the Taoist temple, and a small body poked its head out.
"Xiaomi, why are you wearing a Taoist robe and becoming a Taoist child?" Xiao Lu looked at this half-grown child who was still more familiar, and his original cotton clothes were also changed to Taoist robes. I was amazed.
"Hehe, Brother Xiaolu, why did you come here. Xiaomi smiled, and didn't say why he came to Baiyun Temple to be a Taoist boy, but was curious about this familiar brother coming here.
"Of course there's something wrong here, by the way, open the door quickly, there's a distinguished guest coming and the door is closed, it's too unseemly. As soon as Xiao Lu remembered what he was doing, he hurriedly said to Xiaomi.
"What kind of distinguished guest, Brother Xiaolu, let me tell you, it's not the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year or the Christmas of the gods, this door is basically not open, if you want to come in, just come in through the corner door over there. Millet said, pointing to a small open door not far from the west side of the gate.
Xiao Lu and Chen Junfeng looked in the direction indicated by Daotong Xiaomi, and there was really a small door open, but the bamboo forest next to the door blocked their view, and everyone didn't see it.
"What kind of rules is this, how can any distinguished guests enter the temple to worship God, and still close the door to thank the guests?" Xiaolu didn't come to the Taoist temple very much, but when he was a child, he accompanied the old people in the family once or twice, and he didn't know the rules of the Taoist temple, so he was dissatisfied with Xiaomi's insistence on letting everyone enter through the corner door.
"Brother Xiaolu, this gate really can't be opened. Xiaomi said with certainty, and was ready to close the door after speaking.
"Bang. A large hand against the gate prevented it from closing. Chen Junfeng, the owner of the big hand, asked curiously:
"I really think I've never said that a Taoist temple would close its doors to prevent believers from worshipping God and worshipping incense, little master, why is your temple so special?"
"There's a historical reason for that. Xiaomi was very happy that Chen Junfeng called him a little master, and explained happily.
"Historical reasons? At this time, Director Chen, who had been waiting for a long time on the side, and a group of people walked up and asked.
"Who are you?" Xiaomi looked at Director Chen and the others who came up, surprised at how many tourists came today.
"Little master, hello! We are all together, my surname is Chen, and I am a director. By the way, the historical reason you just mentioned should be related to the experience of the old watcher, and the incident that hit the bull ghost and snake god!"
Xiaomi was surprised: "How do you know?"
Director Chen smiled and said to Xiaomi, "Guess." ”
"You're amazing. Xiaomi stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up to Director Chen, even saying that it was amazing. "By the way, you are the director, you must be well-informed, really powerful, then you come in! Actually, the master didn't say that you can't enter, but there are fewer opportunities for the door to open, and there are not many believers who enter the incense in the view, only on certain days, everyone will come to worship God together. After a long time, in order to avoid some troubles, the view naturally does not open the door of the view on ordinary days, and everyone enters and exits from the corner door. Millet opened the door and motioned for everyone to come in, while also explaining why it hadn't been opened.
"Well, thank you little master. Director Chen and others rushed in, and then the door was closed by Xiaomi. Chen Junfeng looked at Xiaomi's youth and helped him close the door on the side.
Entering the gate, it is a shadow wall erected in front, a huge lotus flower carved on the shadow wall is lifelike, in the eyes of Taoists, the shadow wall has the function of hiding the wind and gathering qi, and there is the function of warding off evil spirits, and the lotus is a holy thing.
See you after passing through the shadow wall
A statue stands in front of it, this idol has three eyes on its head, holds a golden whip, and wears gold armor, which is the Taoist Dharma Protector Lingguan Wang Lingguan. On the top of the temple, a plaque on the "Lingguan Palace" shows its identity.
Wang Lingguan has the position of picketing in the heavens and the world, commanding millions of gods and soldiers, who can walk through the fire, break through the mountains and stones, fly the clouds and mist, pray for rain and pray, suppress demons and subdue demons, be brave and brave, and can also cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits, collect plague and poison, save living beings, and have boundless mana. Therefore, it is often used as a protector of the mountain gate.
Wang Lingguan is upright, jealous of evil like hatred, pickets heaven and earth, eliminates evil and evil, and spares no effort, so the common people praise and say, "Three eyes can see the affairs of the world, and a whip can wake up the people of the world." ”
After everyone saw this, they continued to walk, and in front of them was a relatively spacious courtyard, in the middle of which was placed a large incense jar, on which were inserted five large incense sticks, and the remaining smoke curled on them.
Behind the courtyard is the main hall of the Baiyun Temple. There are the Jade Emperor and the Four Poles and Four Auxiliary Emperors, which are the Arctic Ziwei Emperor, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the Gouchen Shanggong Emperor, and the Chengtian Imitation Earth Emperor.
In addition, there are many fairy murals carved on the walls around the treasure hall, including the Queen Mother, the Heavenly King of Tota, the Three Princes of Nezha, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Six Divisions of the Southern Dipper, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave, the Nine Yao Xingjun, the Ten Palaces of Yama and so on.
After the treasure hall is the apse, which enshrines the Taoist supreme god Sanqing Dao ancestor.
In addition to these three halls, there are door openings on the left and right sides, which are the passages leading to other side halls. It's just that everyone didn't go without permission, but just worshiped and incense in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the Sanqing Palace.
After the end of the event at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the current Chinese people began to worship the gods and Buddhas again, regardless of whether they believe in the gods and Buddhas, everyone still consciously abides by the custom of entering the temple to worship the gods and Buddhas, so it is normal for Chen Dao and others to worship the gods and Buddhas.
After worshipping the Taoist ancestor, Director Chen and the others also gave some money to the merit box in the main hall, but it was difficult to see other people in the entire Taoist temple, even the Taoist chief in the Taoist temple was nowhere to be seen.
Although millet is still young, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and when they see so much money entering the merit box, their smiling eyes are narrowed into a thread.
"Little master, I don't know where the Lord is, we have something to discuss with you. ”
"The Guan Lord is chanting scriptures in the sutra hall and doing his homework, and several other Taoist masters are cultivating in the back hall and Dao fields. ”
"Oh, I don't know what to call the Viewer, why don't you have to do your homework?"
As for me, of course, I don't need to chant the scriptures, I'm just a fire worker, I don't have a precept, I don't have a degree, I am not a formal Taoist, so I don't need to chant the scriptures. Xiaomi smiled triumphantly.
"Hahaha. Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Xiaomi looked at everyone laughing suspiciously, touched her temples and scratched them, I don't know why. In fact, it's just that everyone thinks that Xiaomi's appearance just now is really cute and is amused.
Director Chen smiled, turned around and looked around, looked at it for a while, and then quietly talked with Xu Lin and others, then turned back to Xiaomi and said: "Master Xiaomi, I don't know if you can take us around the view, take a look at the scenery in the view, and feel the Taoist culture." ”
"Hmm-" Millet pulled a long voice, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you come with me." ”
After Xiaomi's words were finished, he ran out of the Sanqing Hall briskly and led everyone towards the rest of the Taoist Temple.
