When I first started writing about Miao territory, many people asked me this question: "Little Buddha, I have been to Maoshan Mountain. The nine peaks, nineteen springs, twenty-six caves, and twenty-eight pools are so beautiful.
We have all gone to see the five temples in the palace, but we have not seen any god-like man named Tao Jinhong, nor any Maoshan Taoist priests who are profound in Taoism and can catch ghosts and subjugate demons. Are you lying to us?"
To be honest, let alone Maoshan, that is, Longhu Mountain, Laoshan, Qingcheng Mountain and the famous Taoist mountains in the country. If you don’t know the way and don’t know the method, even if you visit the famous mountains and rivers in the world, you will only see those who set up stalls in front of the Taoist temples.
They are deceived, fooled around, and unable to see the truly capable master - what is a master?
The divine dragon sees its head but not its tail. Even so, masters will always live in mystery and imagination, and they can only meet if they are destined.
The moon has a front side, which changes when you see it, and it also has a dark side, which is the scenery that mortals will never see when they look up at the stars.
The same is true for this door. When you are not in this circle, just like what I wrote at the beginning, you will never believe the things I said in the Miao Jiang article. Most people just hold the strange belief
Attitude, just watch the fun, and then still pursue materialist ideas, believing that everything has its own science, and everything else is false; but when you can really go deep into this circle, you will have such a profound understanding of nature and the world.
A deep sense of awe.
Those of us who were born in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s are the generations without faith. It is these generations who are becoming more and more impetuous and less able to think carefully about certain issues and details. Our minds are full of
He has distorted values and only has himself in his heart.
Let’s not talk about the opening chapter above for now. The aftertaste of the story will be washed away when we get deeper. Let’s talk about that day when I followed my senior brother and Zamao Xiaodao to carry a sword and go up the mountain. Master Tiger Cat was obviously afraid of Maoshan and ignored our attempts to stay and flew back to Xiao.
We have a large house, so the three of us walked together. First we walked on the main road for a while. When we reached the mountainside, the senior brother suddenly turned around and walked slowly towards a thin bluestone path diagonally. I looked at the majestic palaces above my head, Yuanfu Wanning
Gong was aloof, just like ordinary people, pulling Zamao Xiaodao's arm and saying, Lao Xiao, aren't we going to Maoshan? Why did we turn around?
Zamao Xiaodao's hands were cold and he kept shaking. When he heard me talking about it, he was stunned for a moment and said, but he didn't know what I was talking about.
This guy returned to Maoshan after many years, and he was still a former abandoned disciple. Naturally, he was so worried that he didn't know what to do. Senior Brother also knew his mood, so he smiled casually, took my hand, and gave me
According to the introduction, Maoshan Mountain is divided into two courtyards, the front and rear. The front courtyard receives incense offerings from the world and blessings from the royal family, but it is just an empty shell. The real Maoshan Sect, the world's reputation, and the essence is in the backyard, although it is also in this mountain.
, but it is hidden behind the mist formation, and ordinary people cannot find it even if they search the universe...
I once heard Zamao Xiaodao talk about some things here, and then I realized that most of the famous Taoist sects have a Taoist temple there in the eyes of the world, but privately they have a mountain gate nearby to avoid the eyes and ears of ordinary people. This used to be
For the sake of a kind of intellectual monopoly, a kind of unspoken rules and customs were later formed and passed down one after another.
The scenery along this mountaineering journey is extremely beautiful, with many peaks and mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and a pleasant climate. There are many strange rocks and strange rocks on this mountain, densely forested, deep and circuitous caves, large and small, dotted with spiritual springs and sacred pools, criss-crossing ravines and streams, and shaded by green trees.
The mountains, luxuriant green bamboos, and natural treasures provide a beautiful scenery. Although the path is narrow, secretive, and winding, it is not tiring to walk. Instead, it allows our lungs, which are suffering from the air pollution of big cities, to fully stretch.
His steps couldn't help but become a little brisker.
The main peak of Maoshan Mountain is full of incense and green smoke is everywhere, but after walking on the diagonal path, the air is very fresh. I don’t know why. This backyard is very deep in the mountain. I don’t know how many steps it takes to walk all the way.
The surrounding scenery began to become more densely forested, the colors in the mountains became darker, and the white mist that had not been seen before gradually emerged from the ground.
I looked up at the sky and felt that the sky was gray. It was not as scorching as the sun when I entered the mountain before. The sky seemed much smaller. When my senior brother saw me looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but smile proudly and said, "Lu Zuo", the Yankees call themselves their military satellites.
They can clearly see objects 0.1 meters on the ground, but here, they can never see them - during the two bombs and one satellite era of the last century, the concealment project was arranged by the leader who approved the note and invited my uncle Li Daozi to participate.
This was the period when my great-uncle became famous all over the world. Later, I communicated with the military in the Religious Affairs Bureau and gained a lot of benefits. Look, the things of my ancestors are so magical...
The senior brother has a heartfelt sense of belonging to Maoshan Sect. He kept introducing me to me along the way, and he was quite proud. I listened while walking and felt comfortable. The three of us are all well-educated people.
We were led all the way up the mountain, so the climb was of course very hard, but it still took almost two hours.
At the end of the walk, we came to a valley, surrounded by five peaks, like slightly held palms, hazy, because the white mist shrouded us, blocking the scenery four to five meters away, so we couldn't take a good look at it. Finally, at
Under the guidance of the eldest brother, we came to a small bluestone platform. On this platform, there were stones pieced together to form a pattern of yin and yang fish. It looked messy, but it had a strange regular beauty. The eldest brother stood on it, sinking.
Jingqi shouted towards the top of his head: "Jinlu Dojo, Taoism is natural! Come..."
As soon as the voice fell, a burst of golden light immediately appeared above our heads, like the first-born morning glow, which was covered with a layer of gold in the clouds and mist. On the left and right, a line of swimming yin and yang fish was outlined, which was pieced together with the bluestone on the ground.
They complement each other and are quite unlike the human world.
Then I heard a rumble, as if some winch was turning. I was stunned for a moment. Zamao Xiaodao pushed my shoulder and said, "Let's go. What are you doing standing there?" I turned around and saw the look in his eyes.
Yiyi has completely lost the hesitation and anxiety he had before. There is a confident and calm look in his eyes, and his wretched aura has definitely subsided.
Since there is no way to escape, then face it with joy - as much strength as you have, you have as much confidence as you have. This Thunder Punishment is in your hand, and you have all the skills, but the master you care about the most is still in seclusion. After you really fight it out, up and down this Maoshan,
There are not many people who can make Zamao Xiaodao fear him.
What he cares about is old love, not fighting.
The senior brother was still leading the way, and it seemed that we had entered a long and narrow cave tunnel. Because of the ingenious design, scattered sunlight shone down, and we could see that the two walls and the ceiling above were full of patterns. Look at the techniques, including painting and stone carvings.
, the four parts of murals and panel carvings, each with its own color, needless to say, are wonderful. There are only more than thirty stone statues. Every time the two of them see one, they have to bow down and pay homage. When I asked, I learned
These are all portraits of the successive heads of the Maoshan Sect, and the rest are separated by chapters from the Tao Te Ching.
Halfway through the tunnel, the senior brother raised his hand toward a dark and deep alley and asked loudly: "Chen Zhicheng returned to the mountain under the command of the master. I wonder which uncle is guarding the mountain gate with hard work. Please come and see him."
!”
His words echoed in the alley. After a while, a pair of fiery red lights lit up in the darkness where there was no one at all. There seemed to be fire in the eyes, and then a dull voice said: "It's me.
..." Hearing these words, Zamao Xiaodao and I were agitated and looked at each other. The senior brother bowed and saluted, saying that he didn't expect that it was Senior Uncle Mao Tongzhen who was guarding the mountain gate in person. Zhicheng was so polite.
The darkness gradually thinned, and Mao Tongzhen's maroon face was revealed. He looked at us with neither happiness nor sadness, saying that Zhicheng was so polite. Since I came back from the outside world, I have been living in this cave, acting as a guard dog.
If you have something to do, just go ahead and don't worry about me.
He looked at Senior Brother without squinting, as if he didn't recognize me or Zamao Xiaodao at all. After Senior Brother exchanged a few words with Mao Tongzhen, the response he got was not genuine, so he stopped talking, and we also didn't know Mao Tongzhen.
Feeling a little embarrassed, when I saw my senior brother turning around and leaving, I followed him as if he was running away.
Perhaps due to the past defeat by me, Mao Tongzhen stopped talking. He moved his body back, immersed his face into the darkness again, and disappeared.
After passing through this long tunnel, there was a bright light in front of me. I walked straight ahead, except for the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, bright sunlight fell on my face. I looked up and felt that the sunlight was still in the morning. It was so warm that it made people feel intoxicated.
, and looking forward, layers of clouds and mist are misty, and green peaks and green mountains are looming, just like Penglai Fairy Mountain in the East China Sea. Between the peaks and ridges, on the fields, there are crisscrossing roads, and the pools of water are like mirrors inlaid on the earth. Looking up, the peaks are like mirrors.
There are palaces and pavilions, surrounded by red walls, high into the clouds, which make people feel like they are in a fairyland. It is not like the human world. The battles and troubles in the world suddenly disappear with the clouds. Everything seems to have returned to the original, back to nature.
.
Zamao Xiaodao took a deep breath of the fresh air rich in oxygen ions, stretched out his hands, and said comfortably: "Maoshan, I'm back!" Just this sentence contained too many emotions.
After walking out of the tunnel, we arrived at a valley full of fields. There was a straight bluestone road in the middle. Three young men in blue robes came forward. They bowed their hands in salute and said, "Uncle, my master has called us here."
We will take you to Zhenling Hall, please come with us.
The senior brother introduced us and said that he was a disciple of Fu Jun. The Maoshan family has a great cause and everyone has his own master. Let's go there to rest first.
