Chapter 591: Inside the Taoist Temple
I took a look at Heishui Mountain, which is a majestic towering mountain with continuous peaks.
A stone staircase trail is not far from us.
There is a wooden sign next to it, and the handwriting looks like it was newly written.
"Here is the way to Blackwater View", and there is a red arrow.
"Let's go!"
The uncle glanced at it and said directly.
Then walked forward.
Lao Mo and I carried our belongings and followed.
The air here is very good, and the spiritual energy is much richer than outside.
Along the way, we were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, so we just walked forward along the road.
The further you go up the mountain, the more people you find.
From time to time, you can see people gathering in twos and threes all over the mountains and forests.
Both men and women, old and young.
Some, like us, were wearing civilian clothes.
There are also some wearing Taoist robes.
Uncle Master looked at the people wearing Taoist robes and introduced them to me and Lao Mo from time to time:
"Did you see that person? He's from Longhu Mountain!
The one over there is from Maoshan.
These are all the great Taoist forces today.
The disciples in the sect are all leaders in the field."
I watched silently.
Lao Mo was excited when he saw it.
Soon, we arrived in front of the Taoist temple.
It is a very small Taoist temple that looks a little dilapidated.
There is a big plaque on it with the words "Black Water View" written on it.
We followed our uncle and went directly to the entrance of the Taoist temple.
There are two fellow Taoists standing here.
One is older, about thirty-four or five years old.
The other one is smaller, about fourteen or fifteen years old.
When they see us coming, they seal their seals and give gifts.
They all shouted: "Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
When the uncle saw this, he also made seals and saluted;
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
It was the first time that Lao Mo and I saw such a formal occasion, and we also made seals and bowed.
"Three fellow Taoists, don't know how to call them?"
The older comrade spoke up.
Uncle Master smiled and said:
"The poor Taoist tiger roars, and a casual cultivator.
This is my apprentice and nephew.
In response to the call of the Taoist sect, I came here to drive away evil spirits and do justice for heaven."
That fellow practitioner did not look down upon us because we were casual practitioners.
Instead, he was greeted with a smile:
"Welcome with a drink, Taoist Tiger Roar.
Please sign here and get your name tag."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
There is a small table somewhere inside the Taoist temple.
The young Taoist priest handed over the sign-in book.
Uncle Master didn't hesitate and signed his Taoist number directly.
At the same time, listen to the little Taoist priest say:
"Priest Huxiao, here is your house number and key. Please keep it."
Uncle Master nodded and said politely.
After taking the wooden sign and key, I took Lao Mo and me into the Black Water Temple.
As soon as you entered Heishui Temple, you saw a small square with a large incense burner in the middle.
Around the square, many people gathered in twos and threes.
"Brother Li, I heard that you killed a fierce ghost by yourself some time ago?"
"It's not bad! Still not as good as Brother Zhang!"
At the age of twenty-seven, you are already at the peak state of Naqi."
"Have you heard that a third-generation disciple of the Maoshan sect is getting involved with his wife?"
"I'll go, is it so exciting?"
"..."
Along the way, there were people of all ages, men and women, and the topics were all kinds of.
When they saw us appearing, they all looked at us and looked us up and down.
I didn’t recognize him, so I didn’t pay much attention to him.
Lao Mo and I looked around curiously and listened to their chatter.
It feels very interesting.
In the past, it was difficult to meet even a fellow Bai sect member.
But today, I saw so many at once.
Along the way, I saw twenty or thirty of them.
At this time, Xia Qiuxi's voice came not far away:
"Uncle Tang, Qin Ze, Mo Ting."
Hearing this voice, we all turned our heads.
Not far away, we saw Xia Qiuxi and two young men walking towards us.
Seeing Xia Qiuxi, Lao Mo waved his hand:
"Hey! Qiu Xi!"
I also smiled and nodded.
Xia Qiuxi stepped forward quickly.
"Uncle Tang, Master asked me to wait for you here.
These are my two senior brothers.
Xu Hanchi, Luo Fei."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two young men next to Xia Qiuxi also clasped their fists and said:
"senior!"
Uncle Master nodded:
"Okay, okay, they are all young and talented people."
After hearing this, the man named Xu Hanchi spoke again:
"Senior, the place to stay is in the mountain behind the Taoist temple.
The meeting of teachers was only held in the evening.
You just arrived, you can go back to your residence and take a rest first!"
Uncle Master nodded:
"That's fine!"
"Senior, please come this way!"
Another fellow Taoist named Luo Fei also spoke.
Although it was our first meeting, they were all very polite to us.
We didn’t look down upon us just because we were practicing Taoism.
Afterwards, we followed Xia Qiuxi, Xu Hanchi, and Luo Fei to the back of Blackwater Temple.
Blackwater Temple is a small Taoist temple.
Including subjectivity, it only looks like about ten rooms.
But since we came here, we have seen at least hundreds of people.
There is simply no room for so many people in the Taoist temple.
Therefore, I went to Heishui Temple in the back mountain and temporarily built some prefabricated houses.
Provide temporary accommodation for everyone.
Xu Hanchi and Luo Fei also led the way and introduced us:
"Senior, you are late.
Now, all the famous sects are basically here.
Look at that one over there, she is Taoist Sister Jingyi from the Emei Sect..."
We looked up and found a Taoist nun in her fifties meditating not far away.
"Fellow Taoist, are those monks from Shaolin Temple?"
Lao Mo spoke and looked at the young monks on the other side.
Luo Fei spoke:
"No, he is a monk from Xiaolin Temple in Mount Wutai.
After all, Buddhism and Taoism are inseparable, and this is a time of chaos and chaos.
Each faction sent more or less representatives over.
There are as many as five or six people, and as few as one or two..."
After listening to these introductions, I also looked at the three monks.
They were sitting together in a circle and chanting sutras.
It is the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra that I know.
But reading it from the mouths of these monks had a different and strange effect.
They read very quickly, but every word was clearly audible.
Even, I can feel it slightly.
Waves of strange breaths followed the words of these verses.
Waves of energy emanated from these monks.
Perhaps this is the power of scriptures and Dharma...
