The Taoist three bows at Qingniu Temple are very particular. Each bending and cupping of hands is by no means a simple body movement, but contains its own unique meaning.
The first worship is to heaven and earth. Heaven and earth nurture all things. This is Taoism's respect and gratitude to nature.
The second worship is Sanqing. Sanqing is the supreme deity of Taoism, representing Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun respectively, symbolizing the origin, wisdom and morality of Taoism.
Three times of worship is the only way to worship the deity in front of you, that is, Erlang Zhenjun.
Yesterday, the reason why Shen Yu was so confident in dealing with the Gu family's feng shui issue was largely because he could really feel the presence of a vague aura from this statue.
It was a wonderful feeling, as if he suddenly had a solid and reliable backer in a precarious and uncertain situation, which could give him endless confidence and keep him in mind when facing various complex and difficult Feng Shui problems. There is a sense of determination and calmness.
Just when Shen Yu was about to recite a treasure appraisal silently in his heart and prepare to use his special ability to see if this statue of Erlang Zhenjun Souzhan Conquering Demons was an authentic product of the Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, suddenly, there was a clear car sound in the silent air. The whistle sound.
The electric door opened, and then, a Rolls-Royce limited edition classic car with smooth body lines and a retro and luxurious atmosphere slowly drove into the yard.
Behind him were three brand new Mercedes-Benz business cars.
The car finally stopped firmly under the old banyan tree, and Gu Zhengyan walked steadily out of the back seat of the classic car with an old man of extraordinary bearing and fairy-like character.
The three commercial vehicles behind also got out of the three business cars, followed by more than a dozen tall and muscular bodyguards in black suits.
The old man was older than Gu Zhengyan, but he was energetic and his eyes were bright and deep. As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately set his sights on the old banyan tree belonging to the Gu family.
His eyes reveal a heartfelt familiarity and deep love for the trees, as if he is having a silent communication and greeting with a long-lost old friend.
"Xiao Shen, this is the old friend I mentioned to you before. You should respectfully call him Mr. Wang." Gu Zhengyan introduced Shen Yu enthusiastically.
Shen Yu and Pei Yuqin hurried forward and greeted politely and respectfully.
Mr. Wang nodded slightly, with a warm smile on his face, and nodded in response.
Especially when he looked at Shen Yu, there was a hint of approval in his eyes, "Are you Xiao Shen? Are you from the Shen family in Chuzhou, the Mainland?"
Shen Yu nodded quickly, with a humble and sincere attitude, and replied: "Yes, junior Shen Yu, whose pseudonym is Qinan. I have admired Mr. Wang's name for a long time, and it is really an honor for this junior to meet you today."
Mr. Wang gently raised his hand and smoothed his neatly trimmed short beard under his chin. His voice was calm but revealed an unquestionable dignity, "Lao Gu went to look for me personally this time. I didn't want to come at first." .
"Whether his Gu family is unlucky or not, what does the ups and downs, honor and disgrace have to do with me?
"Furthermore, this old boy is already extremely wealthy. To him, wealth is just the accumulation of numbers. The main reason is that he mentioned that you are here, Xiao Shen. I have heard that you have made great achievements in the field of Feng Shui metaphysics. I also have unique insights into antique appreciation, so I came here just for your sake."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the old banyan tree.
His eyes were focused and meticulous. Sometimes he stretched out his hand to gently touch the tree trunk, feeling the texture of the tree trunk. Sometimes he raised his head slightly to check the growth status of the branches and leaves. His expression was as if a miracle doctor with superb medical skills was caring for an old friend who suffered from a hidden disease. Conduct a thorough and detailed inspection.
Shen Yu stood quietly aside, frowning slightly, with a trace of doubt and confusion in his eyes.
Putting aside everything else, the old man's speaking style is really a bit overwhelming, and can even be said to be quite irritating.
He didn't hide his emotions and thoughts in his words. He was straightforward and seemed to have no regard for the feelings of others. His temper was simply weird.
However, Shen Yu also knew very well that in this world, people with such perverse personalities and weird tempers often hide their amazing true abilities.
They do not follow the trend or cater to the world. They rely on their unique talents and insights to become unique in their respective fields.
No, at this moment Gu Zhengyan was following the old man closely with a wry smile on his face, walking quietly, let alone retorting.
Obviously, he has a deep understanding and understanding of this old friend's temperament and abilities.
At this time, Pei Yuqin came close to Shen Yu's ear and whispered: "Old Wang's real name is Wang Wanwen, and he is an expert with a high reputation in the field of botany.
“He is also a visiting professor of landscape design at the University of Hong Kong. He is profound and influential in the research fields of classical culture and garden culture.
"In addition, he has a younger brother who is even more famous. He is the helmsman of Wang's Freight Group in Hong Kong and the famous shipping king: Wang Wanwu."
When Shen Yu heard this, he suddenly realized. No wonder when he first met Mr. Wang, he felt that his appearance was slightly familiar. He never thought that he was the brother of the famous shipping king.
"This old banyan tree has no major problems for the time being, which will not affect its life and death, but there are some minor problems. If it is not treated, it will probably remain this sickly in the future." Mr. Wang continued to carefully inspect the old banyan tree. The banyan tree said as he spoke.
"However, if you want to repair it, you need some special materials and unique methods. Although I have prepared some things, it is not enough."
After hearing this, Shen Yu took the initiative to step forward and said, "Old Wang, if you need help in any way, just say it, I will do my best."
Mr. Wang raised his head slightly and looked deeply at the trunk of the old banyan tree. After thinking for a while, he said: "I came here this time and specially brought two pieces of ancient peach trees that have survived for three hundred years.
"This wood already has a lot of spiritual energy, which is the key to repairing this tree.
"Xiao Liao, please help me find some pure glutinous rice, sorghum and clear water. Although these two may seem ordinary, they play an indispensable role in the repair method.
"Oh, by the way, I still need to try to build a simple stove. I want to cook something on this stove. This cooking thing will be of great benefit to repairing this old tree. It is the key to the entire restoration process. The finishing touch.
"As for the person who started the fire, it's you, Xiao Shen."
After Wang Lao said this, he looked focused and began to prepare for the restoration of the old banyan tree in an orderly manner.
He bent slightly and took out a set of special tools from the slightly old but neatly packed tool bag he carried with him.
The tool style is simple and unique.
The first one looks like a sickle at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it has a different and exquisite design, and it is not as simple as an ordinary sickle.
The second one is a long knife, its shape is like the famous Yan Ling knife, the blade is slender and slightly curved, shining with a cold light under the sunlight.
The third one is in the shape of a hoe, with a long wooden handle for holding, and the front end is a sharp part like an eagle's beak, which is sharp and sharp.
