Chapter 22 Mingyuan Taoist Temple
Outside the Original Mirror City.
The forest path is winding.
There is gurgling water, clear and cold.
There are birds singing and insects singing, and the whispers of flowers.
"When today, war is chaotic, and such a pure place is really rare."
Qingyuan said: "Old Ge's old friend is also a gentleman?"
Mr. Ge smiled and said, "He is indeed a gentleman, but the front is not his residence, but only his temporary residence."
Looking around Qingyuan, he smiled and said, "Where was this place originally?"
"Tao Temple."
Mr. Ge pointed ahead and said, "Mingyuan Taoist Temple."
Qingyuan looked along his gaze and saw that at the end of the path ahead there was a mountain.
The mountain road is made of white stones as steps and winds upwards. A Taoist temple is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, full of the scenery of immortals.
...
"Mingyuan Taoist Temple started in the early Tang Dynasty, and war broke out at the end of the Later Tang Dynasty. The temple master at that time moved the Taoist Temple out of the city, settled in this mountain, lived in seclusion in the world, and was not affected by the war."
Mr. Ge said: "Until now, it has been passed down for many years."
Qingyuan looked carefully for a moment and was slightly surprised.
Where the Taoist temple is located, it gathers traces in the mountains and walks. It can be said to be a spiritual cave with good wind and clear water, which is excellent Feng Shui.
"What a good place. I'm afraid the person who chose the Taoist temple is also proficient in Feng Shui."
Go up the stone steps and come to the entrance of the Taoist temple.
When Qingyuan was walking, he counted it silently, and it was no more or less, which happened to be one thousand three hundred levels.
The Taoist temple is simple and although there are some carvings such as beasts, it is not very exquisite.
The door was not closed, but no one was waiting for it.
It was only by chance that a young Taoist priest came out to pick up water and met them.
"How many people?"
The young Taoist priest put down the bucket shoulder pole, trotted up, and gave a gift.
"My husband's surname is Ge."
Mr. Ge returned the favor slightly and smiled and said, "Can Mr. Yun Jing be there?"
The young Taoist priest was surprised when he heard this and said, "So he is Mr. Yun Jing's friend?"
Mr. Ge smiled and said, "Yes."
The young Taoist priest bowed and said, "Mr. Yunjing came early this year and had been in the observation for more than half a month. I will take a few of them here."
Mr. Ge nodded and entered.
Kiyohara and others followed.
Suddenly, Qingyuan's eyes glanced and fell on the mandrill.
This mandrill is not as steady as before, and his steps are a little sloppy.
Kiyohara vaguely knew something and frowned and said, "Don't feel comfortable?"
The mandrille said in a low voice, a little hoarse, and said, "This place is so dull and so overwhelming."
"Taoguan Temple and other places do suppress monsters and monsters, but you have initially condensed into true energy, which is also considered to be the first to enter the door of Taoism." Qingyuan whispered: "Adapting for a moment, you will be fine."
The mandrill nodded and remained silent.
Qingyuan looked around and saw that the Taoist temple was just a small sight from a distance, but after entering the room, he found that it was divided into several courtyards, and the scale was quite large.
But in the yard, although it is simple, there are many things to pay attention to in planting trees, opening ponds, carvings, railings, stone bricks, and other places, and the five elements are balanced and in line with the teachings of Feng Shui.
"Mingyuan Taoist Temple has always been a master of Feng Shui. Many people from the Imperial Heavenly Prison in the Tang Dynasty were born in the Mingyuan Taoist Temple."
Mr. Ge saw his surprise and said, "The searching of dragons and pointing acupoints and observing Feng Shui methods used by many martial arts warriors today are from the book of Shaking Dragons, and this book was compiled by Mingyuan Taoist Temple in the Tang Dynasty."
The young Taoist priest in front laughed happily when he heard this and said, "Yes, I heard from my master that Emperor Tang wanted to find a burial cave to build a tomb for his death."
"At that time, the national teacher was asked to search for the location. Later, the national teacher found the place and buried the copper coins under the soil to mark it."
"Then Emperor Tang wanted to try the level of this sect and invited the ancestor to go. The ancestor also spent some effort to find a secret Feng Shui site, broke a dead branch, and inserted it on the ground."
He raised his eyebrows and was very proud. "Later, Emperor Tang ordered people to search and found that the dead branch was inserted into the ground, which was exactly in the hole of the copper coin."
Qingyuan glanced at Mr. Ge.
Mr. Ge nodded and said, "I have heard of this, and it is true."
Qingyuan couldn't help but praise: "The ancestors of the noble family have profound attainments in this Feng Shui."
"This is natural." The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Originally, Emperor Tang wanted to establish his own sect as the national religion, but the ancestors were indifferent to fame and fortune, so they gave up."
While a few people talked, they came to a courtyard again.
...
"Mr. Yunjing."
The young Taoist priest stood outside the yard and said, "You have a few friends coming to visit."
"Please come in."
The sound was gentle and plain, like a clear spring and flowing water.
Several people followed and stepped into the room.
There was a man sitting cross-legged.
This man was about forty years old, with a white face and no beard, dressed in light white clothes, dressed as a Confucian scholar. He looked gentle and smiled.
On his side, place a bamboo slip.
There was a coffee table in front of him, and some tea sets were placed.
Not going out to welcome guests does not mean being rude, because he is already rinsing the tea soup.
The fragrance is so refreshing that you will be shocked by just a sniff.
Mr. Ge bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Yun Jing."
"I haven't seen you for many years, and I haven't thought you are still in the world."
The scribe sighed and sighed a lot, "I thought that Ge Zhan was defeated in the battle, and you were buried in the battlefield."
Mr. Ge whispered: "Escape by chance."
The scribe sighed: "If Ming Gong listened to me and calmed down the situation, he would not have fallen deeper and deeper."
Qingyuan knew that Ge Xiang was named Ge Shangming, and the Ming Gong here refers to Ge Xiang.
It turns out that Mr. Yun Jing in front of him is still Ge Xiang’s old friend?
Mr. Ge is not just an ordinary military civil service?
"sit."
Mr. Yun Jing pointed ahead.
Mr. Ge and others sat down.
Mr. Yun Jing and Ge Lao sighed with emotion, quite sighing.
Qingyuan drank a sip of tea, which was fragrant and astringent, and then clean. It was not a common person. He couldn't help but think of the cup of tea he drank in the thatched cottage in the mountain that day, which was also extraordinary.
"Who is this?"
Mr. Yun Jing glanced at Qingyuan and showed a look of doubt.
Mr. Ge said: "This is Mr. Qingyuan, who comes with me and saves my and Xiaoyu's lives."
When Mr. Yun Jing heard this, he bowed and said, "Sir, I am kind-hearted. Yun Jing thanked me here."
Qingyuan also bowed to him and said, "Old Ge is kind, like an elder, Xiaoyu is even more like a sister. Why do you need to thank him for saving someone?"
They made some polite decisions.
Mr. Yun Jing looked at the mandrill again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he passed by in an instant, his expression as usual, and he smiled and said, "Is this again?"
Qingyuan and Ge Lao were both quiet and looked at each other, without replying immediately.
After a moment, Qingyuan slowly said: "Gu Cang."
The original body of this mandrill is a monkey, and it is also a monkey.
The word "王" is next to the beast, and it is Gu Yue, with the middle character, and the surname is Gu.
In the name of the sky.
Hence the name...Gu Cang.
