Chapter 243: The Hanging Temple

"Senior, is there anything else? I'm going to go back. "I said, thinking that this time I originally went to Naheng Mountain to find the dragon mushroom root, but halfway to Zhujian Villa to save the two old beggars, although this trip is worth it, but the dragon mushroom root is also very important, find the dragon mushroom root, this is undoubtedly of great help to my martial arts conference.

"That's it?? The old man has nothing to say, you have to keep the old man's affairs secret, now it's getting late, you better rest for the night and leave. Ouyang Guanlin said.

Through the attic window, the sky outside darkened.

"Well, the juniors say goodbye. I got up and said.

"Go, the old man won't send you, goodbye to the martial arts conference. Ouyang Guanlin said.

I exited the door and went to the guest room of the villa, and not long after entering the guest room, Ouyang Xiao sent someone to invite me to dinner.

Ouyang Xiao didn't seem to be in a big deal, his internal strength had improved a lot compared to before, and seeing that I was extraordinarily enthusiastic, Ouyang Xue also became a lot more enthusiastic.

After dinner, I found a moment, Ouyang Xue pulled aside.

"Ouyang Xue's seniors, juniors tell you something. I whispered.

"Oh, what is the matter with Miss Xiao?" said the old woman politely.

"Do you remember a man named Liu Yifan?" I asked.

"Liu Yifan ?????" Ouyang Xue frowned and tried to think about it.

"It should be more than 20 years ago, this Liu Yifan stayed in this villa. I said promptly.

"Ah??? I remember??? You?? How do you know him?, and his adoptive father?" Ouyang Xue looked a little excited and asked eagerly.

"My predecessors haven't forgotten it. I said.

"Alas??? It's been 28 years??? How is his father?" a tear rolled down the old woman's eye. There was also a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Liu Yifan is fine, but his adoptive father died eleven years ago. I said.

"What??? Zhichong is dead??? How did you die?" asked Ouyang Xue.

"It was killed by a group of people in black, this group of people should be related to the Desert Esoteric Sect, I just want to tell you this today, there is nothing else. I said.

"Well??? I know???? Zhi Chong ??? Alas??? Ouyang Xiao really schemed for the position of the owner of the village back then, and Zhichong was forced out of the villa Ah Xiao also felt very regretful, what a good brotherly relationship these two had before??? Zhi Chong went down the villa, and Ah Xiao also sent someone to look for him and persuade him to come back, but Zhi Chong did not agree. Then they lost contact with us??? I was all to blame for back then?? Blame me ???" Ouyang Xue said with a look of self-reproach.

"Seniors don't have to blame themselves. It wasn't all the fault of my predecessors. I said.

"Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmakers' words???? Alas??? I shouldn't have listened to my father, but all these years have passed. Ah Xiao is not bad. It's good for me too. Ouyang Xue said.

"Yes. The owner is a nice man, and he has a young age, and I don't plan to tell you. I know that telling you will make you unhappy, and it's all my fault. I said.

"No, no?? It's too late for me to thank you, how can I blame you?Does Ah Xiao know about this?" asked Ouyang Xue.

"I haven't told the owner yet. I said.

"I'll tell him, thank you, Miss Xiao. Ouyang Xue said.

This matter is over here, and the enmity of Liu Yifan's adoptive father Liu Zhichong should be remembered on the head of the Great Desert Esoteric Sect.

The next night, I had a good night's sleep, and early the next morning, I left Zhujian Villa and headed down the mountain in the direction of Heng Mountain.

Heng Mountain, known as Beiyue, in the modern society I know that this Heng Mountain is the famous mountain of the five mountains, but I have never been to visit, I remember the hanging temple, this time to go to the Heng Mountain, but to take a good look at the hanging temple is.

Hengshan is located in Hunyuan County, north of Taiyuan, I rode the flying snow horse and spent half a day out of Shuozhou and went straight to Hunyuan County, and it took about three hours to reach the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

At a glance, the emerald green color of Hengshan gives people a sense of comfort, and the time to come to Hengshan is in a hurry, I have to hurry up.

I rode my horse towards the middle of Heng Mountain.

There are a lot of farmers at the foot of this Heng Mountain, and there are many people who are busy with farm work in the land at the foot of the mountain.

This is the treasure of the martial arts, it is normal for ordinary people not to know, Heng Mountain is famous for Taoism, I have to go into the mountain to ask the Taoist chief in this mountain.

The hanging temple is at the foot of Heng Mountain less than 500 meters above sea level, and you can see a large number of temples built on the steep cliffs from afar, and many temples step out of the sky, looking as if hanging in the air.

This hanging temple is also known as Xuankong Temple, built on the mountain during the Northern Wei Dynasty, all dynasties are regarded as Taoist important places, and now this temple is assigned to the Qingcheng Taoist faction.

Riding a flying snow horse towards the Hanging Temple, about two hundred meters away, I saw the word "spectacular" on the rock, and Li Bai nominated it under the word.

These two words were mentioned by Li Bai??? When he stopped to look at these two words, two Taoist priests with long swords walked over to the side of the road.

"Hello officer. Shi Li, the taller of the two, said to me.

"Good two Taoist leaders. I replied.

"But the guest is going to the Hanging Temple?" the man asked.

"Yes, yes. I said.

"I'm sorry, guest officer, this temple is closed to the public these days, and I hope that you will come back in a few days. The Taoist priest said.

"Why? I'm here from Yingtian, so I don't have time to wait any longer. I said.

"Guest, please go back, the temple does have something important these days, and when these days pass, you can come to the temple at any time, and the temple is very welcome. The man said politely.

It doesn't look like a joke, what's the matter with this Hanging Temple? I don't have time to waste it, why don't I sneak in?

"Okay, then I'll come back in a few days. I turned my horse's head and walked down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, I went to a farmer's house. gave some silver taels to the flying snow horse to be fostered in the farmer's house, and then used light skills to rush towards the hanging temple.

The road can't be walked, and the Taoist disciples along the way will be stopped, so I have to climb up from the cliff on the side.

This hanging temple is built in the west side of the Jinlong Gorge of Heng Mountain, between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak, facing Heng Mountain, leaning on Cuiping, loading dangerous rocks, descending to the deep valley, I took a lot of effort to climb up. Then I flew towards the top of the highest temple.

The highest one is called the Three Sects. I leaned on the roof and listened to the movement inside, and after a few minutes there was no movement inside, and then I turned over and went down the roof to the gate of the three halls, which was closed. I looked around. I didn't see a single Taoist priest. It's strange that I saw a lot of Taoist priests all the way on this road, but there were no Taoist priests in this hall. Could it be that what happened to this Hanging Temple as the Taoist priest on the road said?

I cautiously walked along the narrow passage towards the Hanging Temple, this Hanging Temple, large and small, has a total of more than 40 palaces, because it is built on the mountain, the passages set up inside are narrow, through more than 10 palaces, the strange thing is that I have not seen a Taoist priest, but some of these halls have doors open, and there are burning incense in the incense burner for worship, which proves that these are being taken care of, where have these people gone?

I quickened my way through, and now it was starting to get darker, and it was even more difficult to find someone at night.

After passing through the five palaces, I saw two Taoist priests with long swords standing at the gate of a relatively large palace in front of me, and finally saw people, this palace was much larger than the twenty or so rooms I walked through, and the plaque on the gate reads "Laojun Palace".

I cautiously groped towards the old king's hall, and found a corner, and I looked into a gap.

Wow ??? The whole hall is full of dense Taoist priests, it is estimated that there are as many as two or three hundred, these Taoist priests are all quietly meditating, their eyes are slightly closed, there is an old voice in the hall chanting Taoist Zen language, I looked up at the top of the hall, there is a huge statue of Taishang Laojun standing directly above the main hall, there are five old men sitting under the statue at this time, the voice is from the mouth of the old man in the middle of the five people, and the other four old men are also slightly closed, all listening to the old man's Zen words.

The old man in the middle looked like a fairy, his eyebrows were long and white, his hair was completely white, and the beard on his chin was about twenty centimeters above it, and his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened at this time, and he looked slightly at the place where I was hiding.

Dizzy??? Just as I was about to retreat, the old man's eyes closed again, and the Zen words in his mouth came out in an orderly manner.

It turns out that these Taoist priests are all here to study, this old man who recites the scriptures is like a doctoral supervisor in the university, these Taoist priests who listen to the lectures are all people who want to become a doctorate, and the old man next to him is estimated to be at the doctorate level.

At this time, I couldn't rush in and catch an old man and ask, and I looked at the five old men, all of them are not low, although I am confident to win the four doctoral students, but the big boss in the middle I am not confident yet, from the words he issued I can faintly feel a trace of pure internal force of the power, this is not something that ordinary people can do, this sound function is hundreds of times more powerful than the megaphone in modern times.

In modern times, the loudspeaker is simply amplified sound, and students who are close to the loudspeaker can clearly hear the sound coming out, but once the distance is shortened, the students in the distance are not very able to hear clearly. And now the words of this old Taoist priest and old master are mixed with a trace of energy transformed by internal force, and this voice fills the entire hall, and the voices of the two or three hundred people in the hall who hear him are almost as loud!

This is far beyond the reach of modern technology!

If you are idle, you might as well listen to what is the Zen saying that makes these hundreds of people so convinced.

"We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. Therefore, there is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and the front and back are followed. It is to do what the saint does not do, and to teach without words; all things are made and begin, born and been, and are born for the sake of the Buddha, and accomplished but not lived. Fu Wei Fuju, is not to go ?????"

It's a little hard to understand, but the voice seems to be slowly coming to my mind, and an indescribable sense of comfort fills it, and I feel like I'm going to continue listening.

"The goodness of the ancients is the Taoist, subtle and mysterious, and deep and unrecognizable. The husband is only unrecognizable, so he is strong and tolerant: Yu Xi is like a winter in the river, if he is afraid of his neighbors, if he is a guest, if he is a guest, if he is sloppy, if he is simple, if he is in the valley, if he is turbid, who can stop turbidity, who can be turbid, who can be quiet and clear, who can be in peace for a long time, and Xu Sheng, who is moving, who does not want to make a profit. The husband is not profitable, but it is to be able to hide and rebuild. ”

This should mean that in the pursuit of a perfect Dao thought, there will be many situations, which requires the pursuit of the Tao to be cautious in trekking through the mountains and rivers in winter, to be cautious and alert to the invasion of neighbors at all times, to be solemn and respectful when going to a banquet, to have a dashing demeanor like melting ice, to be simple and uncarved, to be as tolerant and vast as a valley, and as deep as in turbid water. Only in this way can you calm down in the turbidity, slowly wake up, and after a long period of stability, slowly become active, more and more vigorous, and those who pursue the Tao are not perfect and perfect, because they are not perfect, even if they have mistakes, they are not demanding of themselves, and therefore they will not exhaust themselves.

Wonderful?? These Zen words let my heart that has not been calmed down for a long time gradually calmed down, this ancient Zen language on the pursuit of life and death in the world is so exquisitely explained, people who really enter the Tao can be from the natural scene, the biological world, the path of humanity and the Tao integration. Make yourself as quiet as a virgin and move like a rabbit. The higher the realm, the deeper the path will be, and it will never end.

Comfortable, at this moment, I have completely forgotten the purpose of my visit to the Hanging Temple, and I have completely immersed myself in this Zen sentence. (To be continued......)
