After finishing three bowls of steamed buns, the old Taoist led the donkey out of the shop. Behind him, Lao Mi Tou stared at the backs of the man and the donkey, and suddenly let out a long sigh: "You have to come back to eat my steamed buns again!"
The old Taoist priest seemed to have heard the sigh behind him. He waved his hand without looking back and disappeared at the end of the alley. Then he walked out of Xi'an City and rode his donkey towards Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhongnan Mountain, Quanzhen Sect.
Quanzhen Religion has three major ancestral palaces, one is Yongle Palace, located in Longquan Village, three kilometers north of Ruicheng County, the second is Yanxia Cave in the northwest corner of Kunyu Mountain, and the remaining is Chongyang Palace in Zu'an Town, Zhongnan Mountain
Wanshou Palace.
In front of the Chongyang Palace, there stood a man wearing coarse clothes with long hair tied back casually. His face looked tired, with a hint of melancholy. The man's attire was weird, but the things in his hands were even more interesting.
It's weird, they are four ancient bronze lamps with candles burning.
Yu Qiuyang stood in front of the Chongyang Palace and said loudly: "A commoner Taoist priest wants to see Quanzhen Master Xu Beili and Zhenren Xu."
Although Yu Qiuyang's voice was not as loud as a bell, his tone was sonorous and could be heard directly from the Chongyang Palace. After a moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long beard, a felt hat, a Taoist robe and thousand-layer cloth shoes led a few people out of the Chongyang Palace quickly.
.
Xu Beili, the leader of this generation of the Quanzhen Sect, is the leading Taoist Master of Taishang Xuanmen.
Quanzhen Sect is very different from Maoshan, Longhushan, and Tianshi Sect. Taoist practitioners in Quanzhen Sect must become monks and live in temples. When Patriarch Chongyang established the religion, he ordered monks to live in nunneries and practice ascetic practices. The living conditions should be simple and simple, and they should practice asceticism.
The Tao is not to pay attention to food and clothing, not to be involved in the world. To put it simply, it is to be low-key and do things in a low-key manner. Therefore, it is difficult for the outside world to see Quanzhen people walking around. Most of them practice in the three ancestral halls of Quanzhen and never interfere with it.
Over time, Quanzhen Sect gradually lost its reputation due to any foreign affairs, and few outsiders entered Zhongnan Mountain Quanzhen Sect.
Seeing Xu Beili walking out of Chongyang Palace, Yu Qiuyang bowed first: "I've met Master Xu."
"Buddha Amitayus, fellow Taoist, you are so polite." Xu Beili shook his fly whisk and raised one hand in front of his chest in return.
Yu Qiuyang and Xu Beili looked at each other. After looking at each other, the former smiled lightly and said: "Sorry to disturb Master Xu. Gujing Temple has been accompanying Zhongnan Mountain for countless years, but the disciples of the past dynasties have never visited the Quanzhen Sect to pay tribute.
Don't be offended, sir. It's just that we are really unsociable, lazy and don't like to travel. We just stick to that hilltop, and we have lost a lot of etiquette. Please forgive me, forgive me."
Xu Beili said calmly: "People from outside the country don't value etiquette. It doesn't matter. Beili had known that there were outsider Taoist friends nearby in Zhongnan Mountain, but he never went to bother us. It seems that we were a little rude. Zhongnan Mountain is the world's most powerful place.
Zhongnan Mountain is the human place. Everyone from the world can come here. It’s hard to say who is the host and who is the guest. Over the years, countless hermits in Zhongnan have regarded this place as their home and practiced here. Taoist friends are too polite, but I am really curious.
Then what is the origin of the Taoist temple on the hilltop of the back mountain? Although I am curious, I have no intention of asking, but the Taoist friends who came here today must be able to clear up Beili's doubts."
After a few simple polite words, Yu Qiuyang was invited into the Chongyang Palace by Xu Beili. The two sat casually on the floor. A pot of tea came up from the path and then left. Xu Beili picked up the teapot and filled the two tea bowls in front of him, and stretched out his hand.
He signaled: "Fellow Taoist, have some tea."
"Master Beili, you're welcome." Yu Qiuyang bowed again, reached out to pick up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He didn't care whether the steam in the bowl went into his throat or whether it was still scalding hot tea.
"I've been on a long journey and busy with some things. I didn't even have time to take a sip of water. It's a bit abrupt." Yu Qiuyang put down the tea bowl and smiled happily.
Today, Yu Qiuyang has changed from his usual arrogant and domineering character. When he met Xu Beili, every gesture and word he spoke was filled with the word "courteous". Ruo Xiang Que would have been shocked when he saw him. My uncle said he was domineering.
As arrogant as promised, anyone can change his temper, but he can never change his temper. Yu Qiuyang, who entered the underworld with a sword, shouldn't be like this!
After Xu Beili added water to the tea bowl in front of him, he said: "Quanzhen disciples are not good at serving guests and pay attention to being casual and casual. I have nothing but a pot of tea to serve fellow Taoists. Of course I can take care of it. Please drink."
Yu Qiuyang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said: "If Master Beili went to Gujing Temple, I'm afraid the pot of tea would not be available to receive you. At most, I would get some cold well water. There were a few big red robes in the past.
I can barely get it
We have taken action, but in recent years there has been a prodigal boy who has ruined all his drinking water. We hate it so much that we can’t help it, but fortunately, no outsiders come to the door on weekdays, so it’s just a matter of how to serve customers.
It seems less important.”
Xu Beili also picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Then I really don't think you're here to say a few polite words to me today, fellow Taoist, right?"
Yu Qiuyang's face was calm and he said solemnly: "Shang Quanzhen, I have something to ask Master Xu Beili to teach me."
"Speaking"
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look." Yu Qiuyang stretched out his right hand and pointed to the four life soul lamps beside him. Xu Beili had seen these four ancient bronze lamps when he came earlier. He was quite surprised and even more astonished at that time.
Four candles were suspended on each of these four bronze lanterns. The three behind them were red in color and seemed to have a high-spirited meaning, but the one in front was a little yellowish in color and the fire was a little dull. Xu Beili took a look.
After that, he raised his head and said: "Last year, one day, the vitality of all things in the sky above Zhongnan Mountain was sucked out, and slowly gathered in the back mountain, countless vitality surged out, and it lasted for a long time..."
Yu Qiuyang nodded and said: "There is a life soul lamp that requires huge vitality to keep the light alive."
Xu Beili pointed to the first ancient lamp and said: "Now this..."
Yu Qiuyang said softly: "I came here just to use Quanzhen's Big Dipper Array, and I hope Beili can make it happen."
Xu Beili retracted his finger and looked at Yu Qiuyang silently. The Big Dipper formation of Quanzhen sect is the foundation of Quanzhen's apologetics. It was created by Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen.
The seven sons improved it and used
To protect the Quanzhen Sect for thousands of years, this request made by Yu Qiuyang made him a little embarrassed. It was like an ordinary person visiting someone else's house and telling the host that I want to sleep in your master bedroom for two days. The request seemed too much.
Too abrupt.
Yu Qiuyang saw that the other party's face was hesitant and not in a hurry. He drank the tea slowly, not in a hurry, and his temperament was a bit unusual.
After a long time, Xu Beili sighed and said, "As soon as my fellow Taoist came to the door, he gave Beili a big problem."
"Nothing is difficult in the world. I'm afraid it's normal for fellow Taoists to have difficulties if they are thoughtful. After all, Qiuyang's request is a bit excessive, but..."
