Chapter Twenty-Four: Born of Nothing
Wu Ziyu's first stop was Laoshan Taiqing Palace, because the person in the essence blood amber had cultivated in Taiqing Palace.
Taiqing Palace is located at the southeast end of Laoshan Mountain, not far from Shazikou, where Wu Ziyu lived.
The Taiqing Palace is surrounded by the seven peaks of Baozhu Mountain on three sides. Laojun Peak is in the center, the left is Taoyuan Peak, Wanghai Peak, Donghua Peak and the east in turn, and the right is Chongyang Peak, Pantao Peak, and Wangmu Peak in turn and west.
The palace is under the peak, and the sea is current.
If nothing else, in terms of feng shui alone, it is definitely a treasure of feng shui.
Taiqing Palace covers an area of more than 30,000 square meters, with the Sanguan Palace, the Sanqing Palace, the Three Emperors Hall as the main hall, plus the surrounding ancillary facilities Guanyue Temple, the East and West Guest Hall, the Kundao Courtyard and other buildings totaling more than 150 rooms. Each hall has a mountain gate, and there is a convenient door and a road to communicate, the house is simple, ancient and clumsy, basically inheriting the scale and characteristics of the building of the Song Dynasty.
When Wu Ziyu entered from the white marble gatehouse at the main entrance, the sun had just peeked out from the east.
Although Wu Ziyu went to college in Qingdao for four years, he only came to Laoshan once, and this Taiqing Palace was not to be there once. But he seemed to be very familiar with every plant and tree in this Taiqing Palace.
In front of the Sanguan Palace, the two sides are planted with camellia and winter, Wu Ziyu is a rough man, how can he have these elegant tastes. In the past, he could only just solve his own food and clothing, where did he have the leisure to raise flowers and grass, not to mention the camellia and winter-resistant flowers, which were not too common.
But now Wu Ziyu can easily call out their names. He even knew that on the west side of the temple was a white camellia, which was nearly six hundred years old, and when the person in the essence blood amber cultivated here, the camellia was not yet tall.
In the flowering season in February and March, the camellia blooms like silver and snow, just like the gorgeous red winter next to it, complementing each other, one white and one red, just like the yin and yang fish of Taiji.
Red, white, Tai Chi, Liangyi, Wu Ziyu sighed in his heart, and seemed to have grasped something.
This world is the best teacher. The person in the essence blood amber realized the Tao with Tai Chi, and he seemed to have grasped the edge of enlightenment, if he could give Wu Ziyu a little time, perhaps the most difficult to break through the first trace of innate true qi would be generated.
Just as Wu Ziyu was on the verge of an epiphany, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Good man, morning!"
Wu Ziyu was on the verge of an epiphany, but was interrupted by this good man.
Buddhists call the person who gives money the benefactor, and the Taoist line is called the good person. Wu Ziyu didn't know these things before, but now he knows them.
Wu Ziyu turned around, a Taoist chief about forty years old, gray Taoist robe, thin physique, a pair of fairy wind bones, holding a long sword.
"Immortal, early. ”
Wu Ziyu knew that this Taiqing Palace would take in some good fortune and longevity accommodation at some times. Shanfushou refers to the Taoist name for lay pilgrims, although the times are changing, but in some ancient Taoist gates, these titles have been handed down.
"Good man, do you know this Naidong?"
"Winter-resistant, red flowers such as fire, yellow as gold, green leaves as emerald, also known as the flower god snow, this winter-resistant nearly ten meters high, I'm afraid there are seven hundred years! There is also this white tea, I'm afraid it's six or seven hundred years old. The blessed land of Taoism is abundant in spiritual energy, and only here can this winter and white tea grow so big. Wu Ziyu can feel the slightest trace of aura here, which makes people feel refreshed, although he has not yet produced the first trace of innate true qi, and he can't cultivate, but he can feel that the aura here is much stronger than the Shazikou where he lives.
The Taoist chief nodded, "The good man is proficient in the flower arrangement, let the poor Dao admire, this Naidong is already six hundred and eighty-eight years old, and this white tea is also more than six hundred years old, the good man is an elegant person, and how about drinking a cup of tea with the poor Dao?"
Of course, Wu Ziyu would not say that he had a personal memory in his head, and this person happened to have practiced in this Taiqing Palace, these two winter-resistant and camellia, when he came, they were planted for less than a hundred years.
The Taoist chief led Wu Ziyu to the Hanlin Courtyard on the east side of the Sanguan Palace, where there are plum blossoms that bloom alone in midwinter, magnolia that blooms in early spring, lampstands that are bright in early summer, and silver cinnamon that is fragrant in late autumn.
Wu Ziyu is no stranger to the qiē here, but those flowers were planted later.
The antique gazebo, white stone tables and chairs, glowing with blue, exudes simplicity.
The Taoist chief poured Wu Ziyu a cup of tea.
"Dare to ask what the immortal chief is called?"
"Thunderbolt, hehe, this is the number of the poor Dao before coming to Taiqing Palace to practice. ”
"Sex is like a thunderbolt, heart is like a child, and the immortal grows deep in three of them. ”
"The good man has an overreputation, what do you call the good man?"
"Wu Ziyu. ”
Drinking tea and talking about these things that were originally very far away from Wu Ziyu, but now he can come to them easily, and the words he said surprised him and introduced Wu Ziyu as a confidant.
The two drank tea, and the tourists gradually increased, it was no longer convenient to talk here, and Thunderbolt invited Wu Ziyu to go west from the Sanguan Palace, there was an elegant small courtyard, and there was a building in the courtyard.
Climb the tower and look into the distance, and the sea is in the distance.
Thunderbolt picked up the paintbrush on the table and splashed ink.
Wu Ziyu did not pay attention to the landscape paintings of Thunderbolt, his attention was focused on the "Fengxian Bridge" not far away.
Next to the fairy bridge, there is a "dragon head elm" that looks like a dragon. The height of the tree is more than 20 meters, the tree circumference needs three people to hug, the age of the tree is at least 1,200 years, ranking the top of the ancient elm in the country.
What makes Wu Ziyu look at it the most is not this tree, but the parasitic Ling Xiao and salt-skinned wood on the tree, surrounded by trees, three trees in one, which can be called a must.
Elm into the dragon's head, Lingxiao wood is the dragon's whiskers, although Lingxiao wood is according to the dragon's head elm, but Lingxiao wood is above the head of the dragon's head elm, really respond to the word "Lingxiao".
Wu Ziyu looked at the dragon head elm and Lingxiao wood in a fascination, and he was not interested in plants. But in his impression, Wu Ziyu is not unfamiliar with the Lingxiao tree on the top of this three-wood dragon head elm, and it seems that he is even very familiar with it, and it seems that someone has put something on it.
"Good man, how do you see my painting?" Thunderbolt put down the brush in his hand and woke up Wu Ziyu, who was quietly looking at the top of the tree in the distance.
"Oh," Wu Ziyu came back to his senses, "Xianchang's painting, there is not much pen and ink, but the scenery is far away, there is not much ink, but it jumps on the paper, a small painting, but it tells the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the trees, the years and years of all things, and the sea in the distance indicates the unfathomable future." ”
Hearing Wu Ziyu's comments on his painting, Thunderbolt laughed and said three times in a row, "Good, good, good, my brother is really my confidant." ”
Thunderbolt laughed loudly, and Wu Ziyu realized that the name of Thunderbolt turned out to be hidden deep in his heart.
"I'm going to make an inscription for this painting!"
Wu Ziyu picked up the brush and wrote a five-character poem:
The shadow in the waves of life, the unknown stars.
The years of flowers are short, and the sea and sky are empty.
When Wu Ziyu lifted the pen, he unconsciously paid full attention, especially when writing poetry, his mind was immersed in the meaning of the poem.
Life is like the shadow of the stars in the waves, and no one can see what the future holds. Man's life is short, and life and death are empty.
Wu Ziyu's poem is in line with the occasion, and the theme of the painting is in line with the thunderbolt, and when Wu Ziyu writes, he integrates the complementary meaning of the yin and yang of the white camellia and the red winter that he has just seen into the artistic conception of the poem, as if heaven and earth are really a trace of chaos, life is also chaos, and life and death are not the end and starting point of life, but a process of life.
This process is combined with the shadow of the stars in the sea and the chaos of the sea and sky.
When Wu Ziyu wrote, he felt that his whole body was extremely comfortable, his pores were wide open, and the turbidity was discharged, and then it was closed, and a trace of incomparably pure innate true qi came from the spiritual platform, and then the qi was attached to the back, and the pulse of the governor and the pulse of Ren traveled around the body, and finally returned to the Divine Mansion.
This trace of innate true qi was produced because of the epiphany in Wu Ziyu's calligraphy.
Tai Chi is born from infinity, the opportunity of movement and stillness, the mother of yin and yang.
