the last priest

—————— "The Last Taoist" Volume II: Qingcheng———————

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, in Chengdu, Sichuan, the sun outside is baking the earth and smoking, and there are four strange people sitting in an authentic Sichuan restaurant:

A middle-aged fat man with master's eyes and a straw hat, a pair of small eyes kept turning towards the red dishes on the table, his mouth kept smacking, panting and drooling. 【@】. .

A short-sleeved camouflage uniform with crew-cut hair was looking at the fat man in front of him with a smile. He looked like the kind of muscle that had been polished and was definitely not trained in the gym. The authentic bronze color was playing with a jade wrench in his hand. . . .

A tall girl with a good face in blue bodybuilding pants and a white vest shook her head and sighed as she stared at the table full of dishes. . .

A man in a white gown, wearing black square-toed cloth shoes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, young but imposing, with a dignified appearance, his every move is very demeanor, he already looks like a fairy.

The spicy smell filled people's nostrils, while drinking wine, smacking their lips and shouting, the young man on the opposite side jokingly said: "Brother Wang, if you can't eat spicy food, don't be brave, be careful when you get up in the ass tomorrow." It hurts!"

"What do you know, kid? Your father enjoys it better than you. How can anyone go to Sichuan and not eat spicy food? Can you go to Sichuan without eating spicy food? Come on, Wen Bin, let's go first." He raised his wine glass to the man in the white gown in front, but the girl next to him muttered, "I know I can't eat spicy food, but I still order such a table, Brother Wang is really selfish!"

The man in the long gown smiled and said, "Old Wang, ask the boss to order some non-spicy food, so as not to starve them both, and we can go up the mountain tomorrow morning."

After hearing that, the little girl laughed and said, "Brother Wenbin is the best, Chaozi, don't you think so? Hehe!"

"Brother Wenbin, it's natural to treat you well, haha! Brother Wenbin can subdue demons, but he just can't subdue you, the little witch!"

"Who are you, little witch? Who are you calling, little witch? You are a dead soldier!" "It's you, little witch, little witch"

The girl was so angry that she got up and wanted to give chase. The young man got up and ran in circles in the restaurant, and the girl behind him chased after her. . .

This group of people is exactly the four people who conducted this cultural relics survey. Mr. He is getting old and suffering from the loss of his wife. He was not approved by the higher authorities. His son He Yichao followed him. The one in the camouflage uniform is the one with the eyes. Fatty is naturally Lao Wang, the leader of this archaeological team.

The man in the long gown is naturally Cha Wenbin, the technical consultant for this census. I have to mention the little witch He Yichao called out: Leng Yiran, the daughter of Leng Jihong, director of the Provincial Institute of Archeology

Leng Yiran, although the name sounds cold, but she is a complete madman. The college student who was just assigned to the institute grew up in the same yard as He Yichao. When she was young, the teacher followed He Yichao to make trouble, and she was wilder than ordinary boys. Because of her personality, many boys are afraid of her. Over time, she got the title of a little witch. This trip is to go out with them to practice. There was no her before I left. I heard that I was going to Sichuan. Thinking of traveling in the mountains and rivers, and begging his father desperately, he finally agreed.Before leaving, he told Cha Wenbin several times that he must take good care of this daughter for him, and if he was too wild, he could even beat her up!

On the second day, in Mount Qingcheng, Cha Wenbin looked at the Jianfu Palace under Zhangren Peak, which is "a cliff as high as a hundred feet", surrounded by five peaks, verdant ancient trees, connected to the belly of the rock, and next to the Qingxi River, living in a secluded place, and praised : "What a purple mansion in the world, it is worthy of the sentence that Qingcheng is secluded in the world!" The little witch Leng Yiran over there is busy asking He Yichao to take pictures of her in various styles. Isn't going out to experience the mountains and rivers, haha, it seems that archeology is not as boring as they say

Lao Wang looked at the 394-character couplet in front of him, known as Qingcheng's unique, and naturally recited Lu You's famous poem: "Golden seal script lists Jinmen, with giant bamboos and clouds in the middle of the road. It's here, Wen Bin, what do you think of the feng shui here?"

Zha Wenbin smiled and said: "Mount Qingcheng is surrounded by 36 peaks. You can see that the main peak, Laoxiaoding, towers straight into the sky, which is in line with my Taoist theory of 36 caves and 36 heavens. It is majestic and immortal. It is really a fairyland on earth, Zifu in the middle of the road, no wonder Zhang Tianshi chose this place, it really deserves the reputation of the Fifth Cave Heaven, the feng shui is excellent, excellent!"

Yiran over there had already finished taking pictures, and when she heard them talking about Fengshui here, she interjected and asked, "What is 36?" He Yichao saw that the little witch was going to pester Cha Wenbin, and scolded with a smile, "What do you know?" , Taoism pays attention to every number, how can you, a little witch, understand the mystery of this?"

Wen Bin was not idle and irritable, presumably because he was in a good mood today, and explained: "Taoism has a theory of 36 layers of heaven. Taoism divides the sky into 28 layers. Among them, there are [-] layers below. On the top of the heavens, eight levels have been added: among them, the fourth level of the Four Brahma Heavens, the fourth level of the Sanqing Heaven, and the first level of the Daluotian. This Daluotian is the topmost level."

Old Wang was also excited when he heard it, and asked, "What about the 28th floor in front?"

Cha Wenbin glanced at the three people who were listening with great interest: "Okay, I'll just tell you about the 36 heavens of Taoism, and Taoism divides the 36 heavens into six realms:

There are six heavens in this first realm, namely Taihuang Huang Zengtian, Taiming Yuwantian, Qingming Hetongtian, Xuantai Pingyutian, Yuanming Wenjutian, and Qiyao Moyitian.

The second realm has eighteen heavens, which are Wuyue Hengtian, Taiji Mengyitian, Chimingheyangtian, Xuanming Gonghuatian, Yaomingzong Piaotian, Zhuluohuangjiatian, Xumingtang Yaotian, Guanming Duanjingtian, Xuanming Gongqingtian, Taihuanjiyaotian, Yuanzai Kongshengtian, Taianhuangyatian, Xiandingjifengtian, Shihuang Xiaomangtian, Taihuang Wengzhongtian, Wusi Jiangyoutian, Shangjue Ruan Letian and Wuji Tan swore to the sky.

There are four heavens in the third realm, namely Hao Ting Xiao Du Tian, ​​Yuan Tong Yuan Dong Tian, ​​Han Chong Miao Cheng Tian, ​​Xiu Le Jin Shang Tian,

The fourth realm refers to the four Brahma heavens just mentioned, the Supreme Changrong Heaven, the Yulong Tengsheng Heaven, the Dragon Transformation Brahma Heaven, and the Pingyu Jia Yitian;

The fifth realm is Sanqingtian, Yuqingtian, Shangqingtian and Taiqingtian;

This highest realm is the sixth realm Daluotian! "Wow, it's so complicated. Brother Wen Bin, what realm are you in?" The little witch Leng Yiran asked impatiently after hearing this.

"Me? Hehe, I don't know, let's go, let's go inside and have a look." Cha Wenbin ignored this difficult little witch, and took the lead to walk inside, leaving the three people behind to follow, but The little witch was still wringing her fingers, looking up at the sky, thinking how to divide the sky into six layers, 36 layers. . .

This Qingcheng Mountain, the air is very good, there are naturally many people, there are many pilgrims and tourists, and there are a few people dressed as Taoists in the temple who are explaining the lottery to the tourists. Cha Wenbin went up to listen for a while with great interest. Looking at the overjoyed expression on the middle-aged woman's face when she put down the merit money after she heard that she was about to have good luck, she couldn't help shaking her head: "I don't think this famous Taoist mountain has been contaminated by the world, so it's okay to play tricks like this, old Wang, Today we treat ourselves as tourists, this Qingcheng Mountain is still Qingcheng Mountain, but this road is probably not the one we are looking for."

Lao Wang gulped down a few sips of water. He must have been too hot today. People, this is also the meaning of this census above, I hope we can still dig out some traces left by our ancestors.”

"Let's go, let's go up and have a look. These palaces have already been developed into scenic spots. There are people everywhere. If there are any traces, I'm afraid they will have been discovered long ago." The peak of the peak: the old peak

Zha Wenbin walked and said: "I heard that there is an Laojun Pavilion built on the top of the mountain. Since it is here, I have to go up to pay respects. Can you follow me, little girls?" He Yichao naturally had no problem, the little witch shrugged, Pa pat his slender thighs to indicate that he can do it, but Lao Wang is already sweating. . .
