Chapter 54: Staying at the Wuli Temple

After the pig dressed up and walked out of the summer resort in Chengde, they continued to the northeast. They first arrived at the Three Customs, then to Huludao, and after going around the island, they came to the ancient city of Ningyuan.

The history of the ancient city of Ningyuan, the pig dress still knows a little, when I was in the heavenly court, I heard about the defense of Ningyuan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Ningyuan had a sad history, and the famous general Yuan Chonghuan fought against the Qing army here. Nurhachi swore to hate for seven days and fight to the death in Ningcheng, but he didn't expect to defeat Maicheng here.

After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he mobilized heavy troops to encircle Ningyuan, and Yuan Chonghuan defended the lonely city. In the end, Huang Taiji borrowed the hand of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty through counter-plots, killed Yuan Chonghuan, and recruited Wu Sangui to give up defending Ningyuan.

Huang Taiji went around in such a big circle, and finally took Ningyuan, and the Qing soldiers were able to enter the three customs and arrive at Yanjing, the capital division.

Pig dressed up and told this history to Wu Gang and Xin'er, so that when they study the Dafa of attacking the heart, they must use history as a mirror and learn experience and lessons from history.

"The history of mankind is also a history of war, just like the current Shenji and the Meihu Clan, in the fighting method, we must not only obtain justice, but also use our minds and means to deal with evil. "The pig dressed up as a metaphor for the past and the present, and explained the history of Ningyuan to Wu Gang and Xin'er.

The three of them talked, using the great method of moving, and visited Lingshan Temple and Shengshui Temple one by one in the drift.

....................................

Ling'er and Wenwen were in an awkward situation.

During the day, the two of them were together and said a word or two. Once it is night, although the two people live in the same room, they go their own way with each other, and neither of them talks to the other.

Sometimes, Ling'er would hold the stick and talk to it, and the stick would tilt his head to listen. Hearing the emotion, Bangbang would chirp and rub Ling'er's cheek with his nose, quite like a sensible child.

They stayed in Wuhu, Anhui Province for a day, and then performed the Dafa of Movement and visited Qixia Temple and Jiming Temple in Nanjing. After that, the three of them went to Wudang Mountain in Guizhou.

Ling'er and his entourage lived in Wudang Mountain for two months.

Among them, they visited Zixiao Palace, Chaotian Palace, Huangjing Hall, Nantianmen, Golden Palace and other holy places. Taishang Laojun personally transmitted the message and learned to cultivate the Tao with the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen School.

When Ling'er and his party left Wudang Mountain, winter had come, and there were already sparse snowflakes on Wudang Mountain in the southwest.

A group of three people, leaving Wudang Mountain, went straight to Putuo Mountain in the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang. According to the request of Taishang Laojun, he practiced for another two months in Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Pantuo Nunnery, Lingshi Nunnery and other temples.

When I arrived in Wenwen's hometown of Hangzhou, it was about to be the Spring Festival.

Wenwen led Lan Sheng and Ling'er to Hangzhou to eat the local famous food, West Lake vinegar fish and hollow pumpkin cake.

In order to ease the relationship with Ling'er, Wenwen took the initiative to be a guide and led Lan Sheng and Ling'er to West Lake, Leifeng Tower, Feilai Peak, and Lingyin Temple to have a look. Several attractions are not far from each other, echoing each other from afar, and it is also easy to walk around.

After all, it is in her hometown, and Wenwen is very serious when she talks about the history of West Lake. It's just that in winter, the scenery of West Lake is a little bleak, although it is a southern climate, but the cold wind blowing in winter is still a little bone-chilling.

Ling'er knew some of the history of West Lake at first, including the broken bridge, the white causeway, the Su causeway and so on. Through Wenwen's narration, my heart is full of good feelings for this historical allusion.

Su Causeway is the story of Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty when he was the assassin of Hangzhou, leading the people to govern the West Lake, digging the lake and building the embankment.

The white embankment is a three-mile-long embankment built by Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty when he was the assassin in Hangzhou, through three years of governance of the West Lake, from the broken bridge to the Xileng Bridge.

When Wenwen told this history, she recited a poem about the West Lake written by Bai Juyi when he was the assassin in Hangzhou. The poetic mood is beautiful, and the language is fluent.

Gushan Temple is in the west of Jia Ting, and the water surface is low at the beginning of the clouds.

Several early warblers compete for warm trees, and whose new swallows peck the spring mud.

The flowers are gradually charming to the eye, and the asakusa can have no horseshoe.

I love the lake east and love the insufficiency, the white sand embankment in the shade of the green poplars.

Ling'er applauded Wenwen and praised her for her wide range of knowledge and good memory. A few people were talking, and they turned around Feilai Peak, Lingyin Temple, and Leifeng Tower.

It may be because of the sympathy of the same fate, Ling'er stopped and stayed for a long time at the foot of Leifeng Tower.

Looking at the tilted Leifeng Tower, thinking of the white snake lady who was pressed at the foot of the tower, Ling'er's heart kept hurting.

She couldn't help but think of the relationship between her and Lan Sheng, some vicissitudes, some sadness, some helplessness, and some loneliness.

....................................

Since the pig dressed up and the three of them broke up with Ling'er, four months have passed. They went from Dengfeng Shaolin Temple to Chengde, Hebei, along Huludao, Liaoning, all the way to the north.

During this period, they adhered to the intention of Taishang Laojun, in the Taiqing Palace in Shenyang, and the local Taoist priests practiced Taoism for two months, and then went to the local Chang'an Temple, the Big Buddha Temple, the Panruo Temple and other Buddhist holy places to visit and exchange.

When they left Shenyang, it was already snowing heavily, and they used the great method of movement to travel through the wind and snow. Due to the harsh climate, the temperature is down to dozens of degrees below zero, when they pass through several mountains, an oak forest, and then over the pine forest, the birch forest, they spend the night in a Taoist temple at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Jilin.

The temple is very small, scattered among a birch forest. It's just that this temple view, the position in this forest is very high, it is an open mountain range from south to north, Wuli Temple is built on this mountain ridge, the temple door faces north to south, and there are several colored flags on both sides of the door.

The Taoist chief was a man forty years old, wearing a gray robe, and he was a little panicked when he saw a group of three people dressed as pigs and come to the temple.

He first closed a door, then took out a sword from behind the door, brandished the sword, and said, "Why do the demons still come here to entangle, do they really want to eat my sword." ”

As he spoke, he held a sword in his right hand and made a move that turned one sword into three clears.

The pig dressed up and stepped forward, gave a salute and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, disturb the real person." A group of three of us came from the Central Plains, all the way through Zhongyue Temple, Shaolin Temple, Taiqing Palace, Central Temple and other holy places, just to learn Taoism and practice Jinglun. Today's heavy snow is falling, the sky is late, I saw the temple of Guidi, I came to stay, and I hope that the Taoist will help. ”

The Taoist chief carefully looked at the three of them, and felt that it was indeed a little rude just now, so he hurriedly made amends, and called the disciples to boil water and make tea.

The Taoist chief was very shrewd, first asked the guests to sit down, observed the words and looks, and after only a few minutes of talking, he preliminarily judged that several people who came were masters of the Tao.

He saw the pig dressed up and unloaded his waist knife, and briefly asked about the Taoist temple. In the words, the Taoist cultivation revealed is extremely profound.

The Taoist chief made a salute and said loudly to the temple: "Disciple, this is a distinguished guest from the Heavenly Court Wuji Palace, Taishang Laojun, and it is an immortal who has driven here. Prepare the good wine, go to the birch forest in front and shoot two pheasants, and I will have a good consultation with the master of the Tao. ”

I heard that it was a pheasant shooting, Wu Gang and Xin'er followed the little apprentice out of the temple gate, and the three of them went to the birch forest.
