Yang Jing smiled slightly and said: "Hello Daoist, I am a traveler, I saw this Taoist temple today, so I came to visit, and by the way, I want to offer some incense to all Tianzun, so as to ask for the blessing of Tianzun." ”When the chief heard this, he smiled slightly, made a "please" gesture with one hand, and continued to pick up the broom and continue to clean the courtyard.Yang Jing didn't think it was wrong.The Taoist priests in this Taoist temple are obviously real Sanqing disciples, not those fake Taoist priests in some scenic spots, who want to leave all the money in the sponsor's pocket when they see a meritorious person come to the door.The true disciples of the Three Qing Dynasty pay attention to quiet and inaction, detached from nature, and never pay attention to things outside the body.Therefore, when the sponsor comes to the door, these true Sanqing disciples will not mind whether the sponsor will give money or not.Yang Jing walked in, only to find that this Taoist temple is really very small, and even Song Laohei's home covers an area larger than this Taoist temple.The architectural style of the Taoist temple is somewhat similar to the courtyard houses of Yanjing.After entering the gate is a small courtyard, about 30 square meters, is directly opposite the north and south is a small main building, there is a plaque above the gate, the book "Sanqing Palace", needless to say, this Dai Mei view is enshrined in the three Sanqing Taoist ancestors Yuan Shi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun.There are three wings on each side of the Sanqing Hall, which are presumably the residences of the Taoist priests in the temple, as well as the kitchen and storehouse.Although the Taoist temple is not large, it is full of greenery, all the houses are surrounded by large trees, and in the center of the courtyard there is a ginkgo tree that is hundreds of years old, with deep roots and lush leaves.The small Taoist temple is full of a peaceful natural atmosphere, which is deeply in line with the Taoist concept of "Taoism and Nature", and people will involuntarily feel a sense of being far away from the world.Yang Jing nodded slightly, and walked towards the Sanqing Palace, there was an incense case at the door of the Sanqing Palace, with a merit box on the left side, and a young Taoist priest standing on the right. ”Yang Jing also made a bow, then put down his backpack, took out ten hundred-yuan bills of the "Four Great Men" from his pocket and put them into the merit box, then respectfully sorted out the clothes on his body, and washed his hands from the hand basin next to him, and then said to the young Taoist priest: "Dao Chief, I want to ask for incense." ”According to the rules of Taoism, you must dress properly and clean your hands before making incense, and Yang Jing did it right.The young Taoist priest didn't seem to expect that this young monk would take out so much incense money at once, and after being stunned for a moment, he nodded at Yang Jing with a smile, and then took out three large incense sticks that were more than one meter long and thicker than his thumb from the box behind him.However, the Taoist priest did not hand over the incense, and Yang Jing knew that there was another procedure to be done before the incense was applied, that is, to light the wax.According to the rules of Taoism, before burning incense, light a candle, which means "the silver lamp shadow shines, reflects the firmament, the glory shines on the silver rainbow, the lord of the fasting is pious to offer, the blessing is welcomed, the blessing is welcomed." ”Although Yang Jing is not a disciple of Taoism, the holy ring is an out-and-out treasure of Taoism, and Yang Jing, as the host of the holy ring, naturally has to study some Taoist rules more.Originally, Yang Jing did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but since he obtained the holy precepts, he has unconsciously regarded himself as a Taoist disciple.So today, when I put incense on the ancestors of the Sanqing Dao, I naturally made incense in strict accordance with the rules of Taoism.After the candle was lit, Yang Jing took the three incense sticks, and after burning them, he began to incense them.These three incense sticks also have a head, called "three treasure incense", when the incense is burned on the incense, you must use the left hand to incense, because in the tradition of Chinese Taoism, the left hand is generally called the auspicious hand, and the right hand is the murderer; In the Chinese folk tradition, the left is also the largest.Yang Jing holds incense in his left hand, and first inserts an incense in the middle of the incense burner, which means "Daobao incense"; Insert the left side again, this left side refers to the left side of the ancestor statue, that is, the right hand side of Yang Jing, which means "Jing Baoxiang"; Three inserts on the right, which means "Shi Baoxiang".This is where Sambo comes from.The three incense sticks are required to be about one inch apart, representing the center of the inch, and they should be horizontal and vertical, not skewed.Yang Jing did all this very well, and the young Taoist priest next to him also bowed slightly when he saw it.After the incense is applied, it is "turning money (paper)", that is, burning paper money.These are the three things you need to do before visiting the statue of the Patriarch, lighting wax, putting incense, and turning money.After doing all this, Yang Jing respectfully walked to the left door of the main hall, first entered the main hall with his left foot, and then walked to the three statues of the three Qing Dao ancestors, and made three bows and nine bows according to the rules, and then respectfully retreated from the right door of the main hall with his right foot.Yang Jing used to only believe in kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, but since he had the holy precept, in the face of the holy statue of the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, Yang Jing still made a set of standard three bows and nine bows very devoutly.After completing this set, the young Taoist priest had a better attitude towards Yang Jing, and seemed to be very satisfied that Yang Jing was able to complete this set of processes so completely.Yang Jing didn't have the heart to communicate with this young Taoist priest, after bowing in the main hall just now, he had already discovered that the floor of this hall was definitely old.The floor of the main hall is paved with bluestone slabs, although many stone slabs were added later, but there are also many old objects that definitely have years.In the main hall, there is a holy statue of the Sanqing Taoist Ancestor, Yang Jing did not use the holy ring in order to show respect, but after leaving the main hall, Yang Jing is ready to carefully look for other things that have years in this Taoist temple, even if it is a remnant.There are holy precepts, as long as there are remnants, then it is easy to identify who built this Taoist temple in the first place."
This Taoist leader, can I visit this Taoist temple?
I am a British overseas Chinese, and I am very fond of all kinds of historical inheritance of the motherland, Taoism is the local religion of China, and I also like Taoism very much.I like the inheritance of Taoism, and I also like the architecture of Taoism. ”After all, this is someone's territory, and if Yang Jing wants to study carefully in the Taoist temple, he must get the consent of others, so Yang Jing can only take out his fabricated identity again, presumably this young Taoist priest is also willing to see foreigners like Taoism."
Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
With the sound of a trumpet, the Yuan Hezi who had just swept the floor walked over, "I'm very happy that you can like my Taoist culture."
Our Taoist temple is dedicated to the Sanqing Taoist ancestors, so if you visit the Taoist temple for a while, please don't make a loud noise, so as not to disturb the Taoist ancestors. ”"Don't worry, Dao Chief, I still understand the rules."
The young Taoist priest approached Yuan Hezi and whispered something, and Yuan Hezi's eyes became more peaceful when he looked at Yang Jing again.Yang Jing estimated that his own incense money and that set of processes just now worked.Yuan Hezi held a broom in his right hand and made a one-handed salute with his left hand.The Taoist one-handed ritual is similar to the Buddhist one-handed salute, except that the Buddhist one-handed ritual is that all five fingers are straight, while the Taoist one-handed ritual is that the index finger needs to be bent, which means "one qi and three clear".Yuan Hezi walked into a side room with a broom, while the young Taoist priest continued to stand next to the incense case.Yang Jing saw that the people agreed to visit the Taoist temple, so he put on his backpack and began to wander around this small Taoist temple.The main hall has just entered, and the wings on both sides are obviously not allowed to enter.But Yang Jing was not in a hurry, he walked around the main hall, and found that the exposed foundation of the main hall was also very old.So after Yang Jing stroked it with his left hand, the Holy Ring immediately gave the answer."
Ruins of the main hall of the temple of Xinde, in 1135, the people of Xinde were scattered.""
The concept of faith?
What the hell is the concept of faith?
Did you guess wrong?
”The answer given by the Holy Ring made Yang Jing a little confused, but it was obvious that the foundation of this hall was really old, 1135, that is, the fifth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it had a history of more than 900 years.Yang Jing didn't believe in evil and touched another piece of bluestone, and as a result, the Holy Ring gave another answer."
The ruins of the Keats Temple Hall, 1372, Dacheng Mountain People."
This result made Yang Jing scratch his head again, it was obvious that the previous Xinde Temple was destroyed, and then this Taoist priest named Dacheng Shanren built a Keats Temple from the site of the Xinde Temple.As for 1382, isn't it the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty?
At noon, the old lady said that Zhu Yuanzhang emigrated from Hongdong on a large scale, and when the ancestors of their village immigrated from Hongdong, there was such a Taoist temple on the edge of the village.It is estimated that the Taoist temple is Keats Temple.Yang Jing continued to touch without believing in evil, and found a different answer."
Ruins of the main hall of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, 1785, Xuancheng Taoist."
This answer made Yang Jing nod slightly, and the old lady said that during the Qianlong period, there were several Taoist priests who came from Zhongnan Mountain to rebuild the Taoist temple, which is estimated to be the Jade Emperor Pavilion.But whether it is the concept of faith or Keats, or this Jade Emperor Pavilion, it is not the answer that Yang Jing wants.So Yang Jing continued to touch without giving up, and if he couldn't touch it once, he would touch it twice, and it was a big deal to learn Wei Xiaobao to touch and touch "Yuechengguan ruins, 928 years, Yuechengzi." ”This result immediately made Yang Jing excited.Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the predecessor of this Daimei View was indeed Yuecheng View.It's just that the Yuecheng Temple has been destroyed many times in a thousand years, and the foundation of this hall identified by the Holy Ring alone has four different age cornerstones, counting the current Daimei Temple, this Taoist Temple has been rebuilt four times in more than a thousand years.This Taoist temple can be regarded as a disaster.However, there have always been Taoist priests who have come to rebuild the Taoist temple for thousands of years, which also shows that this Taoist temple is really blessed by the patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty.After determining the true identity of this Taoist temple, Yang Jing was in a good mood.went around the two wings again, and at the back of the west wing, Yang Jing found an extremely strange place.
