Chapter 97 Site Selection for Taoist Temple
There, the two of them were introduced to Linghong Shui, who had been waiting for a long time.
Lingqing was called his second uncle, and he was the village secretary. It happened that whether he wanted to allocate land or build a Taoist temple, his approval and reporting were required.
Afterwards, he also explained his plans.
There is a mountain behind Shanngling Village called Qingyun Mountain.
It is said that it got its name from the blue clouds surrounding the top of the mountain.
But the sky is high and the clouds are vast. Lingqing has never seen any clouds or mist on the top of the mountain, let alone blue clouds.
There are four connected hills next to it, arranged on the left and right.
Further west and north is a small lake called Qingshui Lake.
Lingqing's plan was to take over these five mountains and Qingshui Lake.
Calculated, it would take about one million per year, which would be 70 million in 70 years.
Naturally, Lingqing didn't have so much money, but before he came, he used a hundred points of Zhuosha Yuanjing to offset it, and he was replaced with the mediation of the Special Affairs Department.
Now it's just a matter of going through the process.
Although Grandpa, Uncle Hongye and Uncle Hongshui knew that he wanted to cover mountains and lakes, they didn't expect that he actually planned to cover them all and had already prepared them.
Although he was surprised that Ling Qing had done such a big thing quietly, he didn't say anything in front of outsiders.
After Uncle Ershui checked the relevant documents and contracts, he readily agreed.
Agree to run relevant procedures with Manager Wang.
It's easy to say that the lake belongs to the state, and it's just a matter of informing the other two villages.
Yiying has its own special affairs department to help.
But the hilltop does belong to the village collective, and the contract can only be contracted after obtaining the consent of 2/3 of the village representatives.
But now no one is even willing to plant the land, let alone the mountainous areas.
With professional agencies like Manager Wang and Uncle Ershui as secretary, the deal can be finalized in just a few days.
Some allocated personal land, and those that could be exchanged were replaced with Lingqing land, and those that could not were purchased with money.
After Lingqing handed over the matter to Manager Wang and Uncle Ershui, he led Taoist Yunsheng towards Qingyun Mountain behind.
Since there is Qingshui Lake to the west of Shanngling Village, the lake turns a corner from the north to the east.
To the north of Hubei is Houshan Village, and to the east a provincial road leads directly from Shanngling Village to Houshan Village.
So the five hills, including Qingyun Mountain, are wrapped in the center by Shanngling Village, Qingshui Lake and provincial roads.
Therefore, these five hills belong to the collective land of Shanngling Village.
The hills in central and southern Shandong have poor soil, and most of them are rocks covered with a thin layer of soil.
And these plots are all in small groups, very scattered.
Villagers usually use it to grow peanuts, sweet potatoes, pepper trees, etc., but rarely use it to grow food.
Among these five hills, Qingyun Mountain in the middle is the highest, and the remaining four hills are connected to its terrain without obvious boundaries.
It can be said to be the four small hills attached to Qingyun Mountain.
There is also a gu on the top of Qingyun Mountain, with a height of more than ten meters from the foot of the gu to the top.
Lingqing led Taoist Yunsheng to Gujiao, used the force of nature, recited a mantra, and pointed at a pine tree.
I saw a flash of green light, covering the entire pine tree, which was the entanglement technique.
“Sususu~”
Amidst a rustling sound, the pine trees climbed up the rock wall and seemed to grow slowly but quickly.
After a while, a plank road was built.
"Master Daoqing has such magical powers."
Taoist Yunsheng looked at it and said with emotion and envy.
Although he is already in his thirties or forties, he is much older than Taoist Lingguan.
But he did not learn Taoism at a young age, but became particularly interested in Taoist culture after attending college.
After graduation, I thought about finding a job in Laoshan, and while living my life, I followed the Taoist priests in many Taoist temples and asked questions.
Later, he followed Taoist Lingguan's master and became a registered disciple in Shangqing Palace, becoming Taoist Lingguan's junior disciple.
Now, more than twenty years have passed, and I still haven’t learned any secrets from the Taoist scriptures.
In the past two years, because Taoist Master Lingguan had acquired the secret to becoming an immortal, he also taught him breathing techniques and some fist and kick skills.
Since he is not a gifted person, he does not have special blessings.
So apart from meditating, refining one's nature, nourishing one's health and strengthening one's body, I haven't developed any extraordinary abilities yet.
But this is only temporary. If he practices diligently, it is not impossible for him to achieve something.
"If so, the Taoist priest will follow my senior brother, and we will have a predestined relationship in the future."
Lingqing smiled and said, "Taoist priest, let's go up and have a look?"
"please!"
Taoist Yun Sheng has been diligently practicing boxing and kicking skills, and later he developed Zhenqi. It was no problem to climb more than ten meters on the tree ladder.
Tossing and turning, using hands and feet, I climbed up in a short while.
After Lingqing saw that he was safely up there, he also tapped the ground lightly, jumped up, and flew up to the top of the mountain as easily as a flying crane.
At first glance, the top of the mountain covers an area of about two acres. It is covered with rocks and weeds, with very little soil and only a dozen low pine trees scattered among it.
It was only at this time that Ling Qing knew what this Guding looked like.
The cliff, which is more than ten meters high, is still quite a distance for ordinary people, especially children.
No one who has nothing to do would think about climbing up.
The brothers from the Lingqing group wanted to come up when they were young, but they didn't have the ability.
Besides, anyone who dares to climb will be whipped when they get home.
Looking around from the top of the mountain, four hills are connected to Qingshui Lake.
The direction from Qingyun Mountain is Taishan Mountain in the northeast, with a gentle hilltop, like a high platform.
There is a mountain in the north, a cliff in the north of Qiu, and Qiunan and Qingyun Mountain squeeze each other. The slopes are steep and long and square, so they are named
Dingshan Mountain in the northwest has a hill as its name suggests, and the ridge resembles the character "ding".
And Peach Mountain in the southwest. The mountains were once full of peaches, but later they were all abandoned and no one took care of them.
The four hills are in a semi-encircled shape, surrounding the main peak Qingyun Mountain.
Most of the three hills in the north near Qingshui Lake are cliffs, with the lake below.
This is also the main reason why all five hills belong to Shanngling Village. If they were gentle slopes, there would already be villages located among them.
There is a ravine between Taoshan and Dingshan, which leads slowly down to Qingshui Lake.
Shanngling Village is located at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, originally leaning towards Taoshan and close to Qingshui Lake.
However, as a provincial road was later opened to the east near Taishan, most people built new houses there.
After all, there is no way to make a living from the lake water now, compared to the "living water" of Provincial Road.
"How about my Taoist temple located here?"
After looking around, Lingqing turned to Taoist Yunsheng and asked.
"If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons."
Taoist Yunsheng smiled slightly and said: "With Taoist Master, a true immortal, there is nothing wrong with him."
"Anyway, it's still too early to become an immortal."
Lingqing burst out laughing when he heard this, "Since ancient times, there have been so many people who have sought immortality.
There are also many people who have obtained the immortal method.
But how many people have truly become immortals?
