When Su Wu and Yun Nishang passed through the three-door archway,
A Taoist priest dressed in black came down from the mountain and found the two of them.
The Taoist priest was handsome in appearance, with a bun on his head and a bamboo stick in his hand. He slowly descended from the stone steps surrounded by green trees. When he lowered his eyes, he saw Su Wu walking up.
The two looked at each other for a moment,
Everyone looked a little surprised.
After looking at each other for a moment, the handsome young Taoist priest suddenly beamed with joy. He pointed at Su Wu and wanted to call him, but for a while he couldn't remember Su Wu's surname. He only remembered his first name: "Wu, Wu,
noon……"
"Priest Xie." Su Wu looked at the young Taoist priest with a warm expression. He still remembered the young Taoist priest's name. "It shouldn't have been more than half a year since we were separated, right? Priest Xie seems to have even forgotten my last name."
The 'Taoist Master Xie' he spoke of was none other than Xie Yunqing, who had gone through the predicament of 'Longshan Ji Sanqing's Intestinal Resurrection' with him!
Yun Nishang was also present at the time,
She looked at Xie Yunqing for a while, recognized him, and walked closer with some surprise.
Xie Yunqing looked at Su Wu, then at Yun Nishang, and shook his head repeatedly. Su Wu teased him with a sly look on his face, and said repeatedly: "I remember you, I remember you!
I just can't remember your last name, but I remember your first name clearly.
A single name with the character "no" in it!"
"Su Wu." Su Wu replied with a smile.
"Ah, yes, yes! Su Wu, Su Wu, I remember!" Xie Yunqing nodded repeatedly, then turned to look at Yun Nichang next to him, and then said, "Yun Nichang!
I remember your name clearly!"
Yun Nishang pursed her lips and chuckled, jokingly: "The Taoist priest can remember my three-character name, but Su Wu's name only has two characters, so the Taoist priest only remembers one name?"
"No, no, his name is so impressive!
Your name is easier to remember when put together. When I saw you, I first thought of Li Taibai's poem - 'Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face', and then I remembered your name!" Xie Yunqing explained again!
.
His words are sincere and funny, and he can make the atmosphere harmonious with just a few words.
Several people who had been separated for nearly half a year,
When we met now, there was no trace of life.
"Are you the folklorists the Bureau of Religious Affairs said they would come to inspect?
The Bureau of Clan Affairs said that you are of great background. If you have any requests, please ask Yuzhu Temple to satisfy them as much as possible. The abbot thought that he could not neglect you, so he asked me to come down the mountain to pick you up!" Xie Yunqing exchanged greetings with the two of them and then continued.
Su Wu nodded and said: "I came here to visit Yuzhu Temple this time because I really have something serious to ask for help.
So I specifically called the Family Affairs Bureau and asked them to notify Yuzhu to take a look.
I didn't expect that,
The little Taoist priest is also practicing here now.
Where is the old Taoist priest?
Is he still in good health as an old man?"
"Master is in good health!" Xie Yunqing nodded repeatedly and led the two of them to the Taoist Temple Gate.
The Taoist temple gate is majestic. Due to the temporary request of the Rural Affairs Bureau, the main gate is not open yet, and only the corner gates on both sides are open.
There are gates in front of the corner gates.
You need to pay for attraction tickets to pass.
Xie Yunqing swiped his identity tag at the gate, took Su Wu and Yun Nishang into the corner gate, and then said to Su Wu: "Master arrived at the village below early this morning.
Go and treat the pigs raised by other villagers!
I guess I just had lunch at their house right now, and I should be back soon!
Su Wu, you stay here. If you stay a little longer, you will definitely be able to see him.
I'll give him a call soon.
——Are you in a hurry to leave today?
Don’t leave in a hurry, let’s go fishing together in the evening. There is a small river nearby with a lot of fish in it!”
Obviously, after half a year of cultivation,
Taoist priest Xie finally became a real fisherman.
His words fell in Su Wu's ears, and Su Wu also felt moved: "I didn't bring any fishing gear..."
His fishing gear has basically not been touched in the past six months.
"I do, we do!
I'll lend it to you when the time comes!" Xie Yunqing said again.
Su Wu became even more moved.
At this time, Yun Nishang was speaking beside him: "We have to go to Longhu Mountain next. If Bureau Su feels that time is not tight, we can fish here for a day or two."
"It seems we can't go." Before Su Wu even spoke, Xie Yunqing had already heard the string and understood its elegant meaning, and smacked his lips with some regret.
Su Wu smiled and shook his head, and finally brought up another topic: "Has Taoist Huang brought you to Yuzhu Temple since you left Longshanji?"
"Yes, my uncle is the abbot of Yuzhu Temple.
My master thought it would be more convenient to go here, so he took me here.
Learn some real skills!" Xie Yunqing nodded in response. He said a few words, paused, and his expression became a little worried, "Su Wu, you came here and wanted Yuzhuguan to help with some serious things...
those things,
Is it related to Li Jui?"
Su Wu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He did not answer Xie Yunqing's question, but said: "Has the little Taoist Master learned the true skills of how to deal with Li Jui?"
"I learned it.
Palm thunder, five thunder techniques, drawing talismans, reciting incantations..." Xie Yunqing reported a series of Taoist techniques, and then said dejectedly, "These are of no use. When encountering Li Jui, using these methods may help Li Jui's fun?
Why!
Master said he brought me to Yuzhu Temple to learn the true skills.
How could we have imagined that Yuzhu Temple has no real ability at all!"
The Taoist leader had a look of regret on his face, but he didn't mince words about his sect.
"I came here this time to ask the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple to help me draw some charms and give me the authority to summon the 'Five Thunder Altar'." Su Wu said to Xie Yunqing.
Yuzhu Temple inherited the Shenxiao sect of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the inheritance may have been lost to this day.
Therefore, Xie Yunqing felt that after learning so much, it seemed that none of it was of any use to Li Gui.
Because the specific practice methods of some Dharma schools at that time were definitely far from the methods that people figured out on their own today.
But as long as the legacy of Shenxiao Sect remains,
Su Wu doesn't worry that it can't shine brightly.
"The Bureau of Rural Affairs has said that we need to cooperate with any request you two folklorists make.
We are under the control of the Rural Affairs Bureau.
Yuzhu Temple will definitely not refuse these requests." Taoist priest Xie waved his hands indifferently and led everyone through the row of living rooms in the Taoist temple and towards the front hall, "But, Su Wu, you can't believe that these things can be useful.
!
Use them as a weapon,
Bad things will happen at critical moments!"
His advice was extremely sincere.
Yun Nishang couldn't help laughing while listening.
——I have never seen a Taoist priest who ‘slandered’ his own sect like this!
Su Wu shook his head,
Suddenly some feelings came into my heart,
He turned his head and looked at the window of the third block from the left in the row of houses he passed——
…
In the third living room from the left.
The gray-haired old Taoist priest quickly withdrew his gaze, stroking the big beard under his chin, and kept mumbling: "I can't see it, I can't see it. Fortunately, I haven't opened my eyes. Fortunately, the Taoist is smart..."
He turned around and sat back on the bamboo bed, tied the high-top socks on his legs, put on a pair of double-beam shoes, tightened the cap of the small half bottle of 'Niulanshan Erguotou' on the bedside table, and popped a few peanuts in his mouth.
He chewed on it, put on his black monastic clothes, put a haphazard bun on his head, and walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
The bearded Taoist went out. He did not go straight through the large square in the Taoist temple gate like Su Wu and others, but went around to the back of the row of bedrooms.
Walk along the stone steps to the temple at the top.
…
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Su Wu stop and look at the row of rooms on the side, Xie Yunqing asked casually.
Su Wu shook his head: "Nothing."
He turned back and asked Xie Yunqing: "Is the row of rooms behind us on the side where the people in your Taoist temple usually live?"
"Yes." Xie Yunqing nodded, glanced at the row of bedrooms at the side and back, and said with a smile, "The abbot uncle also lives there, have you seen him?
I just called him and told him to go greet you.
He should have gone to the main hall and waited - after all, it was the request of the Family Affairs Bureau, and he had to have some snacks."
Su Wu smiled and said nothing more.
There are also some temples built around this large square.
It enshrines various Taoist deities.
Moving forward from the square, many temples are built on the central axis of the entire Taoist temple.
Lingguan Hall, Jade Emperor Hall, Qizhen Hall, Lei Zu Hall, Siyu Hall...
Platforms, squares, and stone steps connected these halls. Su Wu and Yun Nishang followed Xie Yunqing, walking and stopping all the way, visiting the halls from time to time, and unknowingly they walked along the stone steps to the top of Zhushan.
In front of the square where the 'Sanqing Hall' is located.
In most Taoist temples,
The 'Sanqing Hall' is mostly built in the middle courtyard. Pilgrims enter the Taoist temple to visit and offer incense to the 'Sanqing God' in the middle courtyard. The distance is not too far, and the pilgrims' feet hurt from walking. They haven't seen it yet.
With the Three Pure Gods,
It is not too close, so that pilgrims can see the three pure things at once, but lose their true intention of worshiping other gods.
In Yuzhu Temple, the Sanqing Hall is located on the top of Zhushan Mountain, which is the farthest from the mountain gate, which is a bit strange.
The Sanqing Hall stands majestically,
On both sides of the main entrance of the hall, there is a couplet hanging.
The first couplet is: If you have evil thoughts in your heart, burning incense will not do any good.
The second line is: Keep yourself upright, so why not bow to me when you see me?
Su Wu glanced at the mottled wooden couplets and then looked inside the main door.
The light in the main hall is slightly dim,
From a distance of seven or eight steps, he could only vaguely see the tall statues in the temple.
An incense burner squatted on the square, and incense sticks several meters high were inserted into the incense burner, burning out curls of green smoke, winding across the ridge of the hall, and swept away by the breeze.
"The Five Thunder Altar is located under the throne of Sanqing God.
The abbot should also be waiting in the hall." Xie Yunqing spoke to Su Wu, "Su Wu, let's go in!"
Su Wu nodded,
Following Xie Yunqing with Yun Nishang,
Entered the Sanqing Hall.
As soon as I stepped across the threshold of the hall,
The tall clay statues of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun in the center, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun and Taiqing Daode Tianzun on the left and right sides came into Su Wu's eyes.
inside the palace,
Some Taoists copied scriptures and recited them silently,
It was not affected at all by the entry of Su Wu and others.
