Three bowls of steamed buns were eaten, Lao Dao led the donkey out of the shop, and the old rice behind looked at the back of a person and a donkey in a daze, and suddenly sighed: "I have to eat my steamed buns again!"
” The old Taoist priest seemed to hear a long sigh from behind, waved his hand without looking back, and disappeared at the end of the alley, and then walked out of Xi'an City, riding a donkey facing Zhongnan Mountain.
Zhongnan Mountain, Quanzhen Religion.
Quanzhen Sect has three ancestral courts, 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 rest is Chongyang Wanshou Palace in Zu'an Town, Zhongnan Mountain.
In front of the gate of Chongyang Palace, there was a man wearing coarse cloth clothes with long hair tied behind his head at will, with a tired face and a hint of melancholy, this person's costume was weird, but the things in his hand were even more bizarre, which were four bronze ancient lamps with candles.
Yu Qiuyang stood in front of Chongyang Palace and said loudly: "A cloth-clothed Taoist priest, I want to see the whole true master Xu Beili Xu Zhenren" Although Yu Qiuyang did not make a sound, his tone was sonorous, straight through Chongyang Palace, and a moment later, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a long beard, a felt hat, a Taoist robe, and a thousand-layer bottom cloth shoe led several Xiaodao out of Chongyang Palace quickly.
Xu Beili, the head of the generation of the Quanzhen Sect, is the leading real person of the Taishang Xuanmen Sect.
Quanzhen Sect and Maoshan Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Sect has a great difference, the whole religion of Taoist priests must be monks to live in the palace, Chongyang Patriarch at the beginning of the teaching, so that the monks must live in the nunnery to practice, living conditions strive to be frugal, pursue the way of asceticism, do not pay attention to food and clothing, do not enter the WTO, to put it simply It is a low-key person and a low-key work, so it is usually difficult for the outside world to see the people of the Quanzhen Sect walking, most of them are practicing in the three ancestral courts of the Quanzhen Sect, and they never get involved in any foreign affairs, and over time, the Quanzhen Sect gradually became less famous, and few outsiders stepped into the Quanzhen Sect of Zhongnan Mountain.
Seeing Xu Beili walking out of Chongyang Palace, Yu Qiuyang saluted first: "I've seen Xu Zhenren" "Amitayus Buddha, Taoist friends are polite" Xu Beili shook off the dust, and returned the salute with one hand on his chest.
Yu Qiuyang and Xu Beili looked at each other, and after glancing at each other, the former smiled lightly: "Disturb Xu Zhenren, Gujingguan has been accompanied by Zhongnan Mountain for countless years, but the people of the past dynasties have never ascended to the Quanzhen Sect to see the ceremony, and I hope that Xu Zhenren will not be surprised, but we are really not sociable and lazy and don't like to travel.
Only stick to that hill, but lost a lot of courtesy, forgive me, forgive me" Xu Beili said lightly: "People outside the square do not pay attention to the number of courtesies, it doesn't matter, Beili knew that there are foreign Taoist friends in Zhongnan Mountain adjacent to each other but have never gone to bother, we are also a little rude, Zhongnan Mountain is the Zhongnan Mountain of the world's people, everyone in the world can come here to talk about who is the master and who is the guest, Zhongnan."
Over the years, countless hermits have regarded this place as their home and practiced here, and Taoist friends are too polite, but they are really curious about the poor Tao, so what is the origin of the Taoist temple on the hill behind the mountain?
Although I am curious, I have no intention of inquiring, but today I think I can solve my doubts for the north when I come here."
A few simple polite words, Yu Qiuyang was invited into Chongyang Palace by Xu Beili, the two sat on the ground casually, and after a pot of tea came up from the trail, Xu Beili picked up the teapot and filled the two tea bowls in front of him, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Fellow Daoist, use tea" "Beili is polite" Yu Qiuyang owed his body again, reached out and drank the tea bowl as soon as he drank it, not caring about the hot tea in the bowl or the hot tea.
"After a while, I was busy with some things, and I didn't have time to take a sip of water, which was a bit abrupt" Yu Qiuyang put down the tea bowl and smiled happily.
Today's Yu Qiuyang, changed his usual arrogant and domineering character, and saw Xu Beili with a polite word everywhere when he gestured and spoke, if Xiang Que saw it, he would definitely drop his jaw in shock, my uncle said that he was good, and he was arrogant, anyone can change his temperament, he is the only one can't turn around, Yu Qiuyang, who broke into 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 is not good at valeting, paying attention to casual and casual, there is nothing else but a pot of tea to serve Taoist friends, naturally it is enough, please drink" Yu Qiuyang took a sip of the tea bowl, and then said: "If Beili Zhenren goes to Gujingguan, I'm afraid you don't have this pot of tea to receive you, at most take some cold well water, there used to be so many big red robes that could barely be taken, but in recent years there has been a defeat."
The kid of the family is like a cow drinking water is all wasted and clean, we hate itchy, but there is no way, but fortunately, there are no outsiders on weekdays, and how to valet customers is not so important."
Xu Beili also picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Then I really want to come here today, and I don't want to come here with a few polite words, right?"
” Yu Qiuyang's face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "Shang Quanzhen, there is something to ask Xu Beili to teach" "Please speak" "Fellow Daoists, please see" Yu Qiuyang stretched out his right hand and pointed to the four life soul lamps beside him, Xu Beili saw these four bronze ancient lamps when he came earlier, and he was quite surprised and even more surprised.
There are four candles suspended on each of the four bronze lone lamps, and the back three flames are red and seem to be quite high-spirited, but the front one is a little pale yellow, and the fire is slightly sluggish.
After Xu Beili glanced at it, he raised his head and said, "Last year, there was a day when everything was born in the sky above Zhongnan Mountain The qi was pumped and slowly gathered in the back mountain, and countless vitality surged away, lasting for a long time······" Yu Qiuyang nodded and said: "It is precisely that there is a life soul lamp that needs a huge amount of vitality to keep the lamp from being extinguished."
Xu Beili pointed to the first ancient lamp and said, "Now this ······" Yu Qiuyang said softly: "I came just to borrow the Quanzhen Big Dipper Seven Star Array, and I hope that the Beili True Person can be fulfilled" Xu Beili withdrew his finger and quietly looked at Yu Qiuyang silently, the Big Dipper Seven Star Array of the Quanzhen Sect is the foundation of the Quanzhen Guardian Sect, which was created by the Quanzhen Patriarch Wang Chongyang back then, and was later perfected by the Seven Sons of the Quanzhen Sect to protect the Quanzhen Sect for thousands of years, Yu Qiuyang This request can be said to make him a little embarrassed, just like ordinary people go to other people's homes as guests and tell the host that I want to go to your master bedroom to sleep for two days, the request seems too abrupt.
Yu Qiuyang saw that the other party's face was hesitant and not in a hurry, and drank the tea slowly, not in a hurry or slowly, and his temperament was a little abnormal.
After a long time, Xu Beili sighed and said: "As soon as Daoyou came to the door, he gave Beili a big problem" "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with hearts, and it is normal for Daoyou to have difficulties, after all, Qiuyang's request is a bit excessive, but it is ·······"
