Chapter 20 Taoist Temple
Qixia Temple is named after the setting sun, and from a distance, it looks like it is wrapped in large red clouds.
Since the rapid spread of the Five Doks of Rice, there have been countless Taoist temples in the country. Judging from the name, this is just a small Taoist temple, and the reason for its name is only because of its unique beauty. However, this small Taoist temple is also very unique. In the southeast, which was almost occupied by the Shangqing Sect, it is one of the few Taoist temples that adhere to the original teachings of the Five Doks of Rice. This alone is enough to make it a thorn in the eyes of many people.
Many Taoists of the Shangqing School wanted to convince it to change their doctrines.
When Wang Ningzhi, He Shi, He Qier, and several guards and maids approached the foot of the mountain, they saw the lively place. From He Shi's mouth, he heard that the lively thing was not as quiet as usual, and it was not in line with the Taoist temple. The servant driving in front of him pulled the pedestrian and asked, then turned around and said to the people in the car: "I heard that there are many Taoists from other places who come from other places today and Taoists from Qixia Temple debate about doctrines. Some people also said that many famous scholars came, and even the King of Langya came over..."
Wang Ningzhi was stunned when he heard the name "Langya King", which often appears in costume idol dramas. When He watched it, he smiled slightly: "I didn't expect to see the real Langya King today."
He expressed his agreement, but his face was a little worried: "The Taoist in the temple probably has to receive these people, and I don't know when we will meet the temple master."
"You can always see it, but you happen to encounter such a grand event, how can you miss it? You may benefit a lot when you hear it."
As he was talking, the ox cart stopped. After Fengcheng found a special person to take care of the ox cart, he then marched up the mountain... The mountain is Qixia Mountain, and the octopus is Qixia Temple. Qixia Temple is built on the western foot of Zhongfeng, which is not very high. Moreover, there is a specially built mountain road. The road is full of pedestrians, and many of them are wearing special clothes. Compared with the poor civilians, their faces have a little more oily luster, and they are mostly slaves of wealthy families.
Unlike the scholars who are surrounded by many servants and beautiful girls at every turn, Wang Ningzhi only has a young man, so he does not compete with these people, avoid disputes as much as possible and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the roadside.
Although He can see the scenery here every time he comes to pray for his husband, the scenery here changes every time he comes to him. The scenery here is different in the four seasons, which makes her dazzled, but she still does not forget to introduce the situation here to her brother-in-law: "The most famous thing here is the red mountains all over the mountains. It's just that the season is wrong, and you can only see it in autumn. It contrasts with the red sunset, which is very beautiful."
Wang Ningzhi of the red maple of Qixia Mountain also has some experiences. He liked traveling in his previous life, but he has been here. Now he is revisiting his old place and is accompanied by a beauty, but he is also elegant. Looking at He's face that has become rosy because of walking, he is about twenty years old, much more mature than Xie Daoyun. She has had sex with her body, and her body is round and full of beauty, exuding the charm of a young woman. Wang Ningzhi subconsciously joked: "No matter how beautiful the mountain is, it is not as beautiful as his sister-in-law."
The already rosy face became even more charming because of this joke. He hurriedly looked around and then said angrily: "Erlang, you can't talk nonsense like this."
"I'm just saying the facts. Don't my sister-in-law thinks she is more beautiful than those flowers and plants?" Seeing He's panic, Wang Ningzhi laughed in his heart, but he also knew that he was abrupt. He didn't expect that he would make a joke after being heard by others, so he immediately changed his tone, "Women should be more confident to be beautiful."
This has changed from the joke just now to the serious argumentative suggestion.
Although He knew that he was making up for the loss, he could only follow his thoughts and say: "Erlang's suggestion is pertinent, I'll accept it." He looked at Wang Ningzhi with a serious look as if he was criticized. After a moment, he couldn't hold it in, and they all laughed out loud.
Since getting married, Wang Ningzhi's personality has changed a lot. He is not as pedantic as before, and he is relaxed and happy when talking. He did not doubt that he had him, and just talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the Taoist temple.
Perhaps He often came here to pray for blessings and gave a lot of money for incense. When they arrived at the Taoist temple, they found that a young man in a Taoist robe was standing in front of the mountain to greet him.
"This is Lin Changxiu, his age is similar to Fengshou and Hei Qi'er." He introduced that he was quite familiar with the boy named Lin Changxiu, and no wonder the boy who responded to her was this boy.
Hei Qier, who was dragged by Fengshou, walked behind him, finally walked up. He was holding the big white goose with a lame leg in his arms, and he looked inseparable from his person and goose. When Wang Ningzhi agreed to bring him with him, he was very excited, and he was completely different from An Anjingjing now.
Wang Ningzhi felt uncomfortable when he was holding it in, not to mention that he was black and thin, and was very conspicuous wherever he was. If he didn't let him talk, he would look too ugly. So he knocked on his head and asked him to come forward to negotiate with Lin Changxiu. Hei Qier was also simply, not even put down the white goose, and walked up to chat with Lin Changxiu. He simply believed in it. After a while, the two of them chatted enthusiastically, and felt like they wanted to become brothers of different surnames.
Lin Changxiu led them to the side hall, where there was a window facing the courtyard in the middle. A group of Taoists were sitting upright on the mat to communicate. In addition to Taoists, there were also some scholars and officials, surrounding the periphery. What surprised Wang Ningzhi was that among the group of people on the periphery, there was actually a bald monk. He really couldn't understand the sect dispute between the Five Doks of Rice Taoism, what the monk was doing here.
But he didn't speak randomly.
There are also many people in the side hall, most of whom are pilgrims who come here to pray for blessings on weekdays. Most of the poor families are in the house. After Wang Ningzhi and the others come in, they don’t seem to be trying to disturb them easily. It is best if no one is disturbing them. This is the case with Wang Ningzhi. He likes lively places, but does not like being disturbed in lively places.
Because he was a little bit far apart, he could only hear clearly what the Taoists were arguing. Wang Ningzhi calmed down and listened for a while without feeling. He was not interested in this kind of sect dispute... After all, he didn't believe in these things. He just listened to the Taoists on Qixia Temple, although as the host, they were always suppressed by the Taoists of Shangqing Sect, but they found it funny. Even if there were indeed these gods and beliefs, how could the doctrine be changed by casual debate? Moreover, the two sects clearly had different origins. Most of the Taoists of Shangqing Sect came from the middle and upper classes, had good education, and easily suppressed Qixia Temple in terms of eloquence. Can it be said that the silence of Qixia Temple means being persuaded... The different classes are in, and ultimately for different interests.
Lin Changxiu brought them a few cushions and asked them to sit on them, and then stuck with Hei Qi'er. The two of them talked about the problem of why the white goose was born with eggs instead of fertility. They also gestured with the white goose, which scared the lame white goose and rattled a few times, attracting many people's attention. However, the uneasy white goose soon learned a lesson. Hei Qi'er grabbed the beak viciously and could not make any sound again.
There are many people coming here today. They are not the latest to arrive, and they are still entering one after another, which makes the side hall a little crowded.
He was beside Wang Ningzhi. They were close to the window and were close to each other. Because their arms were sagging, they would touch them inadvertently... The young woman was always extremely sensitive, but because of her personality, she was not good at criticizing her. She just looked very rosy when she touched her inadvertently. She looked around and stared at her complainingly.
So cute...it seems to be like this every time.
Fortunately, Wang Ningzhi did not challenge the bottom line but teased her. The touch was inadvertent. However, neither of them had the intention to listen to what was being said. After stretching his neck for a while, his attention shifted. He asked Wang Ningzhi about the matter about the refugee village. The whole story was generally clear to everyone, but the specific details were unknown. Wang Ningzhi also avoided the important things and talked about the life in the refugee village and the process of Xie Daoyuan coming to save himself.
"The world is not peaceful." He sighed after hearing this, and then reminded him, "Ling Jiang is a strange woman, Erlang should treat her well."
"Yes, she is a strange woman!" Wang Ningzhi sighed. Although Xie Daoyuan was shy like a little daughter during close contact, it was essentially different from He. I think so, if her husband had an accident, He would be very likely to pray for blessings and wish him, at most he would commit suicide. It would be impossible to act like Xie Daoyuan, which puts herself in danger.
While sighing here, Hei Qier suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Young master, listen, the Taoist in the yard has mentioned your name."
Wang Ningzhi looked into the yard strangely, and the voice was heard one after another. The person who spoke was Taoist Qixia Guan.
"...After all, there are very few people born with superiority, and there are also few believers of the gentry. I believe more of them are poor families... Wang Shuping's remarks are not at fault. Survival of the fittest, whether they are high or inferior, they are qualified to strive for a better life. What's more, wars are frequent in the north, and some gentry have also suffered from wars and their families are destroyed. So how can the gentry's son fall into a refugee situation?..."
