Chapter 32: Green Thunder View
Qinglei Temple, a Taoist temple in the south of the city to worship Sanqing, has a history of more than 100 years in Xing'an City, is quite popular with the people of Xing'an City, and people often come here to watch incense and pray. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Different from the traditional Taoist temple and Taoist palace in the deep mountains, this Qinglei Temple is located in the downtown area in the south of the city. In the vicinity of the block where Qinglei Temple is located, pawnshops, incense shops, cloth shops, grain stores, restaurants, small stalls are everything, there are also merchants, carrying goods, walking through the streets and alleys to sell, there are many pedestrians, bustling, the face is ruddy, and the popularity is quite strong.
Zhu Houlie took two servants to step into the Qinglei Temple, and found that although it was in the city, the Taoist Temple was still very large, divided into gates, front yards, halls, apsees, gardens, etc., and there were many side rooms on both sides.
"It's a bustling place, but the history is a little long. Confidently looking at the surrounding buildings, Zhu Houlie said with a smile.
The hundred-year-old "old" view looks very historical, but in fact, it is old and rarely repaired, and although the entire Taoist temple covers a large area, it has become a little old, and even some places have been aged.
When you come to the main hall, you will see the Sanqing statue enshrined in the center, the middle is headed by the Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, the left hand side of Yuqing is enshrined in Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and the right hand side is Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
As a down-to-earth Taoist temple, of course, there are people who worship Sanqing in this view, but the believers and incense in this view are far less prosperous than the City God Temple.
"The people are realistic, the ghosts and gods worshiped by the City God Temple appear and bless in Xing'an Mansion from time to time, so that the people of Daqian get a lot of benefits, plus the City God Temple is the official sacrifice of Daqian, and its daily incense people are naturally endless, and the incense is vigorous. Zhu Houlie couldn't help but laugh dumbly when comparing the difference between this Qinglei Temple and the City God Temple.
In the Xuanyuan Continent, a world where ghosts, gods, monks, and demons exist, it is not as simple as a good mouth to build a strong religious system. If you don't show a little real ability, even if you have the support of the imperial court, the people will not buy it.
This is also the fundamental reason why the incense of the City God Temple is strong in all parts of Daqian, even the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are not necessarily comparable, because every City God of the City God Temple is a real existence, and often monitors the yin and yang, and blesses the people.
Of course, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism also have the ability, and many factions of the two sects have monks, and the land true immortals and Buddhist Arhats are more attractive than ghosts and gods.
And the same is true of the Qinglei Temple, although the Sanqing is not sacred, but the Taoists of this view are all some mana, and often do some free runes to cure the merits of the disease, which is also the reason why ordinary people are willing to support them.
The inch is long, the ruler is short, in terms of healing and saving people, prolonging life, the ghosts and gods of the City God Temple are really not as good as the true immortals of the Taoist Buddhist Temple.
"Why does this layman stand for a long time, but he has some understanding of Sanqing Tianzun?" Zhu Houlie was pondering, when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice, and suddenly knew that when he entered the main hall, he did not offer incense to worship, but stood and checked, which was different and attracted attention.
When I came back to my senses, I looked at the person who came, but he was an old man, dressed as a Taoist priest, with gray hair, looking elegant and dusty, quite a bit of fairy, and he looked very good.
However, sensing his aura, Zhu Houlie understood that he was not a powerful monk, because this Daoist did not pose any threat to him at all, and he had just learned a little spell.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, this Daoist person's cultivation is far beyond Zhu Houlie, so he can make Houlie make mistakes. However, this possibility is very small, because if there is really such a person in this Qinglei Temple, where will he still be stationed in Xing'an City to make sesame oil money and cultivate the Tao, instead of occupying land in the famous mountains and rivers of Daqian and enjoying the worship of the imperial court?
But it is precisely for this reason that Zhu Houlie will come to Qinglei Temple to find them. Because the cultivators of this Qinglei Temple are already the highest monks that Zhu Houlie can reach, the threshold of his other cultivators is too high, and they are not near Xing'an City.
"Cao Er, put a few pillars of incense on the Sanqing Tianzun. Zhu Houlie instructed the servants who came with him.
"Yes, General. Cao Er responded, replacing Zhu Houlie with incense for Sanqing.
"I don't know what the layman is......" Lao Dao asked with a mockery.
"My lord is the general of the imperial court, and the thirteenth prince of King An is also. ”
Before Zhu Houlie could respond, another servant shouted loudly at the old man, his expression proud, as if he was the general of Zhenguo. At the same time, he was afraid that this person would not believe it, so he signaled the token that proved the identity of the General's Mansion to this person.
"Why didn't I find out before, this Zheng Shuang has the potential to be a dog's leg. Zhu Houlie was silent on the surface, but he was surprised in his heart.
"It turned out that General Zhenguo came to contempt in person, and the old way was far away, and he hoped to forgive his sins. After checking the authenticity of the token, this old Taoist made a mockery and said.
"Yes, Ben will come uninvited. Zhu Houlie replied.
This time he came to Qinglei Temple, Zhu Houlie can be said to be demanding from others, so naturally he will not behave too arrogantly, which makes people disgusted.
"I don't know what the general is doing here. Lao Dao asked again.
After standing for so long, and asking the servant to offer incense to Sanqing Tianzun, Lao Dao didn't believe that Zhu Houlie was a Taoist who believed in Sanqing, so he had to ask Zhu Houlie about his intention.
"The Taoist chief doesn't need to be polite, Ben Jiang did have something to discuss with the master this time. Zhu Houlie responded with a smile.
"Since the distinguished guest is looking for the master, Poor Dao will take the general there. Lao Dao responded.
However, when Lao Dao took Zhu Houlie and his entourage to the backyard, a clever Taoist boy had already run to the back and reported the matter to the viewer.
The winding path leads to the secluded, and after a while, Zhu Houlie and this old way came to the location of the master.
The Qinglei Guan Guan stood outside the door of the wing, his beard was white, he held a dusty whisk, a feather coat and a star crown, with a dusty atmosphere, and said happily: "Distinguished guests are here, and the poor Dao Xuanyouzi has seen the general. ”
"Uninvited, I still look at the Lord Haihan. Zhu Houlie smiled and saluted back.
"General, please-" Xuan Youzi waved the dust and said to Zhu Houlie.
"Daoist, please. ”
The room of the contemplator was a quiet room, the two were divided into guest of honor, Xuan Youzi sat in the chief, and the little boy took out the tea tray and served the fragrant tea, cloud cake, and red dates.
Xuan Youzi personally poured tea for Zhu Houlie, and said with a smile: "Vulgar people, there is nothing to entertain, and I hope that General Haihan will be served." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Zhu Houlie responded.
The two tasted fragrant tea, ate some snacks, and after being polite, Xuan Youzi got to the point: "The general came here to despise it, but he didn't visit friends to make incense." ”
"Dao Leader should know what happened to my General's Mansion these days. Zhu Houlie smiled bitterly.
"I listened to half of my ears while chatting with friends. Xuan Youzi smiled, "The general is a great blessing." ”
After a few days of fermentation, now Zhu Houlie's assassination in his own mansion has long been known by the upper echelons of Xing'an City, this Qinglei Temple is not ignorant of this, after all, they also have the existence of cultivators, and the government has also come here to investigate.
"That's what I'm here for. Zhu Houlie said directly.
