The secluded Qingcheng Mountain lives up to its world-famous reputation.
Two months later, at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan, Qin Yu stood there quietly.
Qingcheng Mountain, the fifth of the ten Taoist caves, and one of the four famous Taoist mountains.
Worship the water Dujiangyan and ask about Qingcheng Mountain!
Throughout the ages, this famous Taoist mountain that is evergreen all year round has not only attracted literati and poets, but also attracted countless Taoist disciples to go up the mountain to seek immortality and seek enlightenment. Many Taoist masters even left their Taoist traditions on Qingcheng Mountain.
Just like the many temples on Mount Emei, there are many Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain, with dozens of large and small Taoist temples. The beauty of Emei and the tranquility of Qingcheng are both unique in Sichuan and Sichuan.
Qin Yu walked for two months from Guiweiling Ridge to Qingcheng Mountain. Because there were many good Feng Shui places along the way, Qin Yu was so happy that he wrote inscriptions and poems in the hidden places of these Feng Shui treasure places, so he was delayed.
time.
The word "you" uniquely highlights the characteristics of Qingcheng Mountain. However, people in the metaphysical community know more about it than those tourists.
Especially after some discussion by Buddha, Qin Yu knew clearly that in addition to the unique geographical features, there was another very important reason why Qingcheng Mountain was so quiet, and that was the ghost cave.
Because of the existence of ghost caves, Qingcheng Mountain looks deep and quiet. Qin Yu can even imagine that thousands of years ago, Qingcheng Mountain was probably filled with ghosts. It was the Taoist Taoists who established sects on the mountain to suppress these ghosts.
gas.
However, it was only suppression. After all, the ghost cave was not destroyed, and the ghosts were not completely eliminated. Therefore, in the end, Qingcheng Mountain became what it is now.
Therefore, a large part of Qingcheng Mountain's reputation as a ghost is due to the spooky atmosphere exuded by these ghosts.
Qingcheng Mountain was Qin Yu's last stop in Sichuan. Without any further hesitation, he walked directly towards the mountain.
Qingcheng Mountain Yunxu Temple is an inconspicuous Taoist temple among the many Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain. It is even located very far back. It is a Taoist temple that is not open to the public.
The next moment, the door of Yunxu Temple opened, and a dozen Taoist boys ran out from inside. These Taoist boys headed towards other Taoist temples. The disciples of other Taoist temples along the way saw the faces of these dozen Taoist boys.
Showing envy.
Because only Taoist temples like them know that among the many Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain, Yunxu Temple is the real master of Qingcheng Mountain, and the owners of all other Taoist temples came from Yunxu Temple.
Although these Taoist boys are only teenagers, after they come out of Yunxu Temple, they will be at the managerial level at least when they come to Taoist temples, which is much easier than staying in Taoist temples for more than ten years.
Of course, envy is envy. These Taoist disciples also know that they cannot compare with others. Those who can enter Yunxu Temple must be people with a Taoist heart. In a word, they are true Taoists.
This is the difference between Taoism and Buddhism. Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings and everyone can become a Buddha. However, Taoism requires talent and the potential to practice Taoism. Otherwise, Sun Wukong would not have been ridiculed and kicked out when he asked the Bodhi Patriarch to accept his disciples.
However, in order to compete with Buddhism, Taoism has also begun to learn well and no longer pays attention to talent. Now the requirements for becoming a Taoist disciple are very low, but they are actually just peripheral disciples. Real Taoist disciples still need opportunity and talent.
The Taoist disciples of Yunxu Temple ran to other Taoist temples. After a while, the temple masters of each Taoist temple led some elders of the Taoist temples to the front of Yunxu Temple. At the same time, the gate of Yunxu Temple opened wide, and the four Taoist temples opened.
Starting from the threshold of the Taoist temple, Tong laid a red carpet a hundred meters long.
The carpet was embroidered with cranes and auspicious clouds. At the same time, the sound of cranes suddenly came from Yunxu Temple, and two white cranes flew out from Yunxu Temple and headed down the mountain.
"Is the crane welcoming guests?"
Looking up and seeing two white cranes hovering above his head, Qin Yu had a smile on his face, but he was not surprised at all.
Since the monks in Mount Emei had a way to know his arrival, the Taoist priests in Mount Qingcheng, one of the four famous Taoist mountains, naturally also had their own way.
"We sincerely welcome Master Qin to our Qingcheng Mountain."
At the entrance of Yunxu Temple, there were several old Taoists with bright heads and blue faces standing at the door. On both sides were the disciples of Yunxu Temple and the temple owners of other Taoist temples.
"You're welcome, Taoist Master Xuqing, but I'm disturbing you." Qin Yu smiled and looked at the old Taoist leader, Taoist Xuqing, the current master of Yunxu Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, and Lian Yunzi's master.
"The day before yesterday, I heard that Master Qin came to Mount Emei. At that time, I was envious that Mount Emei could win the favor of Master Qin. But I waited and waited. After waiting for a long time, Master Qin didn't arrive. I almost thought that Master Qin didn't like me, Qingcheng Mountain." Taoist Xuqing said with a smile.
, but the words are full of humor.
"The Taoist Master is trying to kill me. How could I not come to Qingcheng Mountain, the holy land of Taoism? It's just that I got caught up in worldly affairs and wasted my time."
Qin Yu smiled. He knew that he had just assumed the position of Imperial Master, and many forces were watching his every move. The fact that he went to Mount Emei had probably spread throughout the metaphysical world.
If you really don't come to Qingcheng Mountain, you will have offended the Taoist priests of Qingcheng Mountain. In the same province, if you go to Mount Emei but not Qingcheng Mountain, in the eyes of outsiders, you will feel that there is a gap between you and Qingcheng Mountain.
Therefore, now that you have reached the position of national master, sometimes you have to consider a lot of every move, including the impact of one of your actions and the interpretation of your actions by people in the metaphysical world.
"Master Qin please come in."
After Taoist Master Xuqing and Qin Yu exchanged a few polite words with each other, they welcomed Qin Yu into Yunxu Temple, and the temple owners of other Taoist temples also followed. As for the Taoist temple stewards they brought over, there were no
This qualification can only be returned to the Taoist temple where you are.
Just like entering Baoguo Temple, Qin Yu worshiped the statues in the Taoist temple and the Patriarch of Qingcheng Mountain according to custom. However, Qin Yu's eyes fell on a word on the statue of the Patriarch of Qingcheng Mountain.
"Guard a mountain."
The four simple and powerful characters convey a sense of chilling. If you are a person with a weak will and an unstable mind, you may be heartbroken when you see these four characters.
"Master Qin, this is the ancestral instruction left by my Qingcheng Mountain Patriarch. Our Qingcheng Mountain lineage will guard Qingcheng Mountain forever and are not allowed to move." When Taoist Master Xuqing saw Qin Yu's eyes falling on the words on the Patriarch's statue, he explained at the side
.
"Qingcheng Mountain guards a mountain and suppresses ghost caves. Its merits are immeasurable. I admire you." Qin Yu nodded and replied sincerely.
After the worship, Qin Yu followed Taoist Xuqing to the backyard of the Taoist temple, where a Taoist boy had already prepared fragrant tea. Taoist Xuqing accompanied Qin Yu and told Qin Yu some strange things in the past in Qingcheng Mountain.
The current situation of Taoism today is actually very pleasant to talk about.
When the tea cup in front of him was replaced with the third cup of tea, Qin Yu asked: "Taoist Master, Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi and I got to know each other during the Sanhui Competition. This time I went to Qingcheng Mountain because I wanted to see my old friend. I don't know.
Is Brother Lian Yunzi on the mountain?"
"Lian Yunzi?" A complex look flashed in Taoist Master Xu Qing's eyes, and then he replied: "Lian Yunzi is on the mountain and currently in retreat in a cave, so he may not be able to come out to meet Master Qin."
"That's right, then it's really unlucky." Qin Yu said with regret.
"Don't worry, Guoshi Qin. After Lian Yunzi comes out of seclusion, I will definitely tell Guoshi Qin about his arrival. Lian Yunzi also admires Guoshi Qin very much."
Hearing what Taoist Xuqing said, Qin Yu disagreed. It was true that Lian Yunzi was very interested in him, but that was not because he admired himself, but because he always wanted to challenge himself and surpass himself.
However, just as Qin Yu was talking to Taoist Xuqing, a young Taoist priest ran in from the door of Yunxu Temple, heading directly towards the backyard, but the many temple owners in front of him had not yet reached the backyard.
Then he shouted: "Master Qin, my senior brother Lian Yunzi invites you to meet me at Jinxu Pavilion."
Jinxu Pavilion is the cave where Lian Yunzi practiced. Qingcheng Mountain has thirty-six peaks, eight big caves, and seventy-two small caves, and Jinxu Pavilion is one of the seventy-two small caves.
"Oh, since Taoist Brother Lian Yunzi has come out of seclusion, he naturally wants to go see him." Qin Yu stood up and looked at Taoist Master Xu Qing, "Do you want to go together, Taoist Master?"
"You should follow."
After leaving Yunxu Temple, the young Taoist priest was in front, followed by Qin Yu and Taoist Master Xuqing. As for the others, they were ordered not to follow by Taoist Master Xuqing.
Along the way, Qin Yu saw the worried look on Taoist Master Xuqing's face from time to time, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. He knew what Taoist Xuqing was worried about, because he was afraid that Lian Yunzi would challenge him again.
To put it bluntly, Taoist Master Xuqing doesn't have much confidence in his own apprentice, but he also knows his apprentice's temper, and he can't persuade him to be stubborn in some aspects, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the ghost cave alone.
Jinxu Pavilion is located on the top of one of the thirty-six peaks of Qingcheng Mountain. It is an isolated peak, surrounded by cliffs with no way to go up. At this moment, Qin Yu is standing on the top of the mountain opposite Jinxu Pavilion, with
Jinxu Pavilion faces each other from a distance.
The distance between the two peaks is more than 100 meters, and there is only an iron cable connecting them. There are no protective measures, and ordinary people would be frightened just by looking at them.
At this time, Qin Yu, who was standing at the top of the mountain, looked at Jinxu Pavilion opposite, his eyes narrowed slightly, because at the top of Jinxu Pavilion, there was also a person standing there, also staring at this side.
This person is naturally Lian Yunzi.
At this moment, Lian Yunzi is still wearing a green shirt, and he is still carrying his sword behind him. Standing alone in Jinxu Pavilion, although he looks insignificant as a man, he is so eye-catching. (To be continued)
