Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 198 Changes in Taoist Temple

As dusk approached, Su Heng returned to the Taoist temple.

Consistent with what Lin Caibin said, the expansion of Maoshan Taoist Temple is the restoration of Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace.

Originally, there were six Taoist temples in Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, with nearly a hundred rooms on the left and right sides including temples, living rooms and other buildings.

After the evil spirits were rampant and the scope of human activities was reduced to the safe zone, most of the buildings in Maoshan Taoist Temple were demolished. By the time Su Heng worshiped at the Taoist gate, only the main hall, the Taiyuan Palace, the front and rear courtyards, and the temple roads on both sides remained. .

Now, the expansion and restoration of the entire Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is entering the final stage.

"How much manpower and material resources have to be invested to build something like this in such a short period of time."

Of course it is worth investing no matter how much you invest.

Su Heng, just watch and act.

Today, Jiuxiao Palace faces south and is symmetrical from east to west. The entire building has a rigorous structure and a reasonable layout, from south to north, layer by layer.

There is a broad and flat square in front of the square. There is a mountain gate on the east and west sides of the square. The east gate has the words "Maoshan Taoist Temple" written in large yellow characters on the front, and the name "Ziqi Xinhui" in official script on the north forehead. The left and right side doors have the words "chuxuan" and "chuxuan" respectively. "Into the female".

There is a squatting stone lion on the left and right sides of the door. The statues are exquisite and lifelike.

Li Ping suddenly said: "Our junior brother has been in District 11 for a while. It stands to reason that we should be back soon, right?"

"Wow, it's only been a long time, and I'm getting another teaching. We've been together in the Taoist temple for several years, and we're still very good at everything."

Su Heng had plans in his heart to build a piece of land in the Taoist temple to experiment with the cultivation of spiritual plants. If this path can be followed, perhaps all human beings will usher in an evolution.

"What could happen? District 9 is very safe now, and Boss Lin is cooperating with our Taoist temple. Who dares to mess with it?" Li Ping motioned to Wang Yuran to continue packing.

It was almost clearing time, and pilgrims came down the mountain in a bustle. Su Heng hung up the mirage and went upstream. After a while, he arrived at the main hall, Taiyuan Palace.

She is dressed in white plain clothes, her hair is raised high, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She looks more like a knight in the film and television works about cultivating immortals than a Taoist priest.

"After this conferment, I should be able to recruit Wang Lingguan. With the protection of this divine general, all Taoist cultivators in the world will be safe."

The master and uncle are not in the hall, and the two senior brothers of Su Heng, Li Ping and Liu Yun, are in charge of the work. Compared with their original nonchalant appearance, these two are obviously more serious now.

Holding the pillar in the hall, he said: "A hundred thousand mountains are not separate, and the disobedient descendants built me. Half of them are meritorious, and the filial sons and daughters are all for you."

"No, master has been preparing for junior brother's return recently. I heard that junior brother made a big show of force in District 11 during this trip, invited gods to come down to earth, suppressed evil spirits, and stole the limelight. With such great achievements, master will definitely do it for him Hold an investiture ceremony.”

The Xishan Gate is a brick and wood structure, and the mountain path is being restored and paved.

To Su Heng's surprise, Wang Yuran was also in the hall.

Climb up more than 20 steps and enter the Lingguan Hall. The hall is three rooms wide. In the center of the hall, there is a statue of Taoist protector king Lingguan on the altar. The statue is wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, with a hot wheel on its feet and a nine-section divine whip in its right hand. Holding the Lingguan Jue with his left hand, his red face and three eyes glaring angrily were exactly the same as the Wang Lingguan that Su Heng imagined seeing in heaven for the first time.

Looking back at the North Road, the red walls of Jiuxiao Palace are lingering, inlaid with seven large stone-engraved characters "Emperor Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace". On the walls on both sides of the palace door are written "Dao Qi lasts forever, longevity is boundless" in large brick-engraved characters. The characters are as big as a bucket and the writing is powerful. vigorous.

Liu Yun raised his watch: "It's strange. At this time, Boss Lin's employees are usually here to receive the goods. Why is there no one there today?"

"They also have some magic power in their bodies. It seems that the tributes from the gods really have miraculous effects."

After hearing this, Wang Yuran, who was packing the tributes, stopped what he was doing: "Yes, they were very active in the past. Did something happen today?"

"Huh, I'm finally done." Li Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead. He woke up early and stayed up late every day. If there were no tributes from gods to replenish his energy, no matter how strong he was, he would collapse from exhaustion.

"You two also know that you are a gangster?" Wang Yuran couldn't help but tease, "Besides, even if I give you a promotion, it won't have any effect."

After such a long time, everyone has tested everything that should be tested. It is not difficult to find that the so-called ritual is really just a ritual, and the key lies in Su Heng.

Li Ping agreed: "Yes." The same ritual would be useful for Su Heng, but for others it would just be a mere performance. The same spell was effective when Su Heng recited it. Even if it were the master, he would just recite the words.

"No, I heard my grandpa recite the Mind Purifying Mantra last time, and it seemed to be somewhat useful."

"That's a psychological effect. In short, it would be great if my junior brother accepted me as his disciple." Li Ping sighed with emotion.

"I think you are out of your mind. There is no reason to worship your junior brother as your teacher." Liu Yun analyzed seriously, "According to the procedure, you must first terminate the master-disciple relationship with your master and then worship your junior brother as your teacher. "

Wang Yuran smiled and said: "I'm afraid that after you and the master terminate the master-disciple relationship, the next step is to be expelled from the master on the spot."

Li Ping shook his head: "Forget it then. Although we can't slay demons like Junior Sister Xia, at least the first one who is closer to the water tower gets the moon, and at least we can eat the tributes at the Taoist temple."

"Well, people must learn to be content. It's always happy to be content. Come on, eat an orange and rest first."

Liu Yun threw an orange to Li Ping, but he didn't throw it well. He was about to fall to the ground, but he was supported by an invisible force and slowly returned to the incense table.

Several people were stunned, thinking it was a manifestation of gods. The next second, I heard a familiar voice:

"Where is the master? Why can't I see him?"

Li Ping replied subconsciously: "Master is on the ascension platform at the back of the palace."

"Thanks."

The three of them wandered around for a while before they realized that Su Heng had come.

"Digging! Junior brother, are you still there?! When did you come back?"

"She shouldn't be here anymore?"

"Didn't he hear all the conversation just now?"

"You can't keep your mouth shut."

Compared with Li Ping and Liu Yun, Wang Yuran seemed much calmer and calmer. She felt that she performed well from beginning to end and did not say anything wrong.

……

Exiting the back door of Taiyuan Palace, there is a stone platform built on the ground. The platform is 2 meters high and 9 meters square. It is built with bluestone strips.

The stage is surrounded by white stone railings. The murals on the outside of the stone railings are respectively carved with Taoist Eight Immortals patterns and Tai Chi Bagua patterns in between. There is a stone square on the platform, 6 meters high and 4 meters wide.

The word "Three Heavens Gate" is engraved on the forehead of the stone square, and a couplet is engraved on the stone pillars on both sides of the square: "On the top of the three peaks of Xiuzhen Juqu, you can reach the eight caves of Huayang."

This is the ascension platform, which is said to be the place where Mao Ying ascended to immortality. It was originally destroyed by demolition fifty years ago, but now it has been rebuilt. The entire Taifang is majestic, simple, solemn and elegant, which makes Wang Zhiyuan very happy.

He could already imagine the scene of his disciple Su Heng practicing and attaining enlightenment here.

"All it takes is a green paint background on the couplets."

Yuan Jinghong feels that it is quite good to be able to restore it to this level in a short period of time.

"Well, I will be happy to see my nephew come back."

Yuan Jingshu raised his watch and was about to sign the order when he turned around and saw a familiar figure standing six steps behind him.

"Brother, my nephew is back!"
