Looking at the Taoist temple with blue bricks and red tiles at the foot of the mountain, Dong Rengui frowned. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Alas, it's not easy to do now......" he sighed and looked at the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain.

Taoist temple is not a simple place, it is a place for Taoist priests to practice, that is, the dojo, generally arrange formation prohibitions, set up traps, and enshrine gods such as protector gods, similar to the mage tower of the western mage, but it is much more difficult to deal with than the mage tower......

At a loss, he reluctantly walked down the mountain, cleaned up his appearance halfway, changed into a Confucian shirt, put on the bookcase on his back, and rubbed it a little, and then became a traveling scholar Xiucai, walked out of the mountains and forests, along the mountain path, and walked to the village not far from the Taoist temple.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first do a good job! First go to the village to investigate, and then go to the Taoist temple to explore the truth and reality!" Thinking like this, he walked into the village with firm steps.

Walking along the small field path, into this typical Ming Dynasty village, the village is surrounded by a circle of fences, mud walls, wooden walls and other miscellaneous materials, inside is a circle of thatched houses, only the ancestral hall in the center of the village and the houses of three or two families next to it are made of green bricks.

Although the houses are simple, they are clean and tidy and well arranged.

Dong Rengui walked into the village along a gap in the fence, just as an old lady came out of the house to pour water.

"Auntie, it's polite. Dong Rengui hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I am a student of Xuzhou, I have traveled here, I lost the road, and I asked my aunt to give me advice, I don't know where the fairy town is?"

"What are you talking about? The old woman didn't understand. The old lady was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically with a wooden basin.

"Ahem...... Ahem, mother, this friend is asking for directions. A pale, scrawny young man of about twenty years of age coughed as he leaned against the door.

"Hey, son, why did you come out, don't you go in quickly!" The old lady saw that the young man hurriedly put down the wooden basin, walked over quickly to support the young man, and blamed: "In the morning, the humidity is heavy, you better stay in the house and rest, and then ......go out when the illness is cured."

"Ahem, mother, I'm fine. The young man comforted his mother, hugged his fists and said to Dong Rengui: "Under is Sizhou Tongsheng Li Kang, the word Anzhi, I have seen this friend." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a little friend, Dong Rengui, who was born in Xuzhou, and met Li Xiaoyou. Dong Rengui bowed his hand.

"It turned out to be Dong's seniors, and I also invited my seniors to sit inside, please. Li Kang changed when he heard this, and hurriedly invited Dong Rengui to rest and drink tea.

"So, it's bothered. Dong Rengui excused himself, and when he saw Li Kang's repeated insistence, he entered the house and sat down, and after drinking tea, the two talked about some science stories, talked about scriptures and historical articles, and hated to see each other late.

"I wonder why Brother Dong came here?" During the conversation, Dong Rengui already knew that this was Lijiazui under the rule of Xuyi County, Sizhou, the big mountain outside was Duliang Mountain, and the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain was Changqing Temple.

At this time, when he heard Li Kang ask him why he came, he took out the rhetoric that he had prepared a long time ago and said: "I went down to Yangzhou to take the exam, and after I got the middle school, I plan to travel all the way back to Xuzhou, I don't want to be separated from the servants yesterday because of the greed for scenery, and I lost the road alone, and stumbled here, and it is also provide......ntial to be able to come here and meet Brother Li."

After a conversation, under Dong Rengui's flattery, Li Kang had the feeling of meeting a confidant, and under his heart, even the wind and cold seemed to be very good, and he was about to go out to take Dong Rengui to visit his hometown in a good mood, but he didn't know that Dong Rengui deliberately put an elixir in the tea he drank in order to make him a tour guide, so that he quickly recovered his health.

When the two went out, it happened that Li Kang's mother went out, which saved Li Kang from a mouthful.

"Brother Dong, it's not me boasting, our Lijiazui is surrounded by mountains and rivers, backed by Duliang Mountain, facing green shade and water, rich products, and outstanding people, it is really a first-class good place......"

Along the way, Li Kang excitedly introduced Dong Rengui to the customs, and unconsciously, he came to the Evergreen Temple at the foot of the mountain.

"This evergreen pavilion is newly built in the past two years, it is a descendant view, the owner Wei Bodao is a well-known local master, and has a high reputation in Sizhou and even Fengyang.

About ten years ago, Wei Bodao people traveled here, fell in love with this place at a glance, bought this small hill with the government, and bought 500 acres of land in the village at a high price, and took root here......

The construction of the evergreen temple began ten years ago, it took seven years, the main hall is the Jade Emperor Palace, mainly dedicated to the highest god of Taoism, Yuqing Primitive Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and the Jade Emperor's forgiveness of sins Datianzun.

Other temples include Wenchang Palace, Cihang Palace, Lingguan Palace, Land Temple, Doumu Palace......"

In Li Kang's introduction, Dong Rengui stepped into the Evergreen Temple, probably because Li Kang often came to the temple, and the Taoist priest guarding the door was already familiar with him, so he said hello and let them in.

The structure of the building group of Changqingguan is rigorous, the layout is decent, and it is progressive layer by layer according to the mountain.

The main building is five: Lingguan Palace, Wenchang Palace, Jade Emperor Palace, Cihang Palace, and Doumu Palace.

The main building is a brick and wood structure, with bucket arches and cornices, beams, pillars, railings and carvings of shrines in the hall, which are delicate and vivid, delicate and elegant, and are engraved with runes disguised as patterns everywhere.

Leaving the main building, walk to the side courtyards on both sides, this is the place where the Taoist priests live and live in the view, and pilgrims were originally forbidden to enter, but Dong Rengui has Li Kang, an acquaintance, to lead the way, and the whole view is smooth and unimpeded.

The building on the right side of the main hall is the Shifang Hall, the Sutra Hall, the Great Guest Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, etc., and the left side is the Zhai Hall, the Liao Hall, the Abbot Hall, the Shipu Hall, the Ancestral Temple, etc.

Throughout the overall layout, it seems to take the main hall building complex as the middle line, the left and right sides are built symmetrically, the scale is quite large, there are dozens of buildings, hundreds of houses, 35 permanent Taoist people, 19 people on the single road, and a number of servants and miscellaneous servants.

"I really didn't expect that such a large-scale building complex could be built in only seven years in this secluded place, it's really incredible!" Walking in the vast Taoist temple, Dong Rengui sensed the whereabouts of Fourteen Niang's breath while chatting with Li Kang.

"Ahem," Li Kang coughed twice with a strange face, and said, "In the following, it is said that the Changqing Temple took seven years to complete, mainly referring to the layout and decoration of the temple, such as statues, murals, and relief patterns...... Wait a minute. ”

Speaking of this, he looked around and said in a low voice: "The main building of the Taoist temple was built in only half a year, and this is because of the restrictions on the transportation of materials, it took so long...... People say that Wei Bodao people have true mana and can drive away ghosts and gods......"

"Oh, is that so?" Dong Rengui was not surprised by this at all, if that Wei Bo Daoist didn't have such means, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to build such a dojo with all kinds of magic circles.

Yes, it was the dojo, and after visiting the temple for so long, it was enough for him to survey the layout of the magic circle in the temple, and just now, he sensed the breath of the fourteenth mother, which was in the abbot's hall not far from him.

It's just that he frowned when he looked at the Daoist guarding the door of the abbot's hall and the dense rune array around him......
