Qingshan Temple has been in disrepair for a long time and is very dilapidated.
The walls collapsed, the eaves were broken, large tiles were broken, and all kinds of weeds grew everywhere.
Chen Fan walked into the Taoist temple. The courtyard inside was extremely spacious, with many stone piers, mud bricks and other debris scattered around. The doors and windows were rotten. The Taoist temple was completely ruined.
However, Chen Fan was not surprised. No one had taken care of it for decades, so it would be strange if it didn't become useless.
What Chen Fan was looking at was not the dilapidated Taoist temple building. He was observing the layout here.
After just a moment, Chen Fan couldn't help but nod secretly.
This Qingshan Temple is located on the top of Xiaoqingshan. Although the mountain is not high, it is considered to be at the top of the mountain in the surrounding area.
The Qingshan View located on the top of the mountain can condense the surrounding terrain.
The terrain of this small green mountain is somewhat strange. The Qingshui River accompanies the green hills, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has abundant earth energy and water vapor. In addition, the terrain here has the potential to gather wind and absorb energy, and has the quality of a hidden dragon. It is very special.
Not vulgar.
The layout of Qingshan Temple is based on the layout of the Nine Palaces, which is very particular. From this point alone, Chen Fan could see that the person who built Qingshan Temple was an expert.
"Taoism has always been about chance. This Qingshan Temple has been abandoned for decades. Could it be that it is just waiting for the right person?"
Chen Fan murmured and walked towards the main hall of the Taoist temple.
The main hall of the Taoist temple is called Sanqing Hall, and the plaque on it has been mottled. Chen Fan entered the Sanqing Hall and found that it enshrined the Sanqing Taoist ancestors and several real Taoist figures. Chen Fan straightened his clothes, performed a bowing ceremony, and then
Start cleaning up the Sanqing Palace.
A corner of the roof of Sanqing Hall has collapsed, and there are spider webs hanging everywhere, and all kinds of collapsed debris are even more messy.
Fatty You approached the gate and saw Chen Fan busying himself, so he quickly ran over to help.
Chen Fan just smiled and continued to clean up various debris.
The two of them started working together, and soon, the Sanqing Hall was cleaned up. Basically, there were no usable things. However, Chen Fan cleaned out some residual fragrance from the incense burner. Chen Fan thought about it and
The fragrance ignites.
"Mr. Chen, if I had known you were coming to offer incense, I would have bought some incense and candles." Fatty You was a little annoyed.
Qingshan Temple is still quite famous in the neighborhood, although it has been dilapidated for decades.
"The most important thing about offering incense is sincerity. As long as you are sincere, you can do it even if you burn some firewood!" Chen Fan smiled.
Before coming here, he didn't know there was a Taoist temple here.
Of course, even if he knew, Chen Fan might not bring any incense and candles.
After lighting the incense, the Sanqing Hall finally took on some appearance. Chen Fan bowed three times and was about to leave the main hall to look elsewhere.
At this moment, the midday sun was shining through the dilapidated roof, lingering with the fragrant smoke.
This was normal, but Chen Fan was stunned.
In the inheritance of Taoism, there has always been a saying about tasting incense. The shape and changes condensed by the smoke of incense can be used to predict certain things. It is much more mysterious than ordinary fortune telling.
Of course, this is very mysterious. Even Taoist priests may not know how to taste incense.
But it happened that among the inheritance left by ancestor Chen Tianxuan, there were some Taoist secrets, and Chen Fan happened to know how to taste incense.
At this time, the fragrant smoke mixed with the sunlight, swirled up, and hit the joints of the roof beams.
This is normal, after all, the roof is leaking, and the smoke is curling up, which is in line with the laws of natural science.
But Chen Fan was thoughtful and asked Fatty You to back away slightly, then jumped up.
Fatty You looked at Chen Fan in surprise as he jumped five to six meters, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Good guy, if Chen Fan goes to participate in the Olympics, what will happen to other athletes?
But soon, Fatty You no longer had time to think about sports meets.
I saw Chen Fan hanging on the beam with one hand. After groping for a while, he actually dug out a square iron box from the thick beam. The box was completely black. Even if it was covered with dust, it still looked like a square iron box.
Extremely impressive.
"What a good guy, it's actually made of black iron." Chen Fan was surprised.
Black iron is a good thing.
Even in the world of spiritual practice, it is a rare and excellent material for forging utensils. As a result, the people from this Taoist temple used it to cast boxes, which was a waste of natural resources.
"Mr. Chen, is there a treasure hidden in this box?" Fatty You's eyes were eager and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Qingshan Temple was very popular in the past, so it is normal to leave some treasures behind.
"There must be something. Well, it turns out to be the Wuhou Bagua Lock. Most people can't open it!" Chen Fan looked at the messy set of fasteners on the iron box, which looked like building blocks, and couldn't help but laugh.
These fasteners are also made of black iron. This craftsmanship alone makes Chen Fan moved. Being able to use black iron to create the Wuhou Bagua Lock is definitely something only a master-level blacksmith can do.
"What is Wuhou Bagua Lock?" Fatty You was curious.
Following Chen Fan is indeed an eye-opener.
"This is a secret lock invented in ancient times. According to legend, it was created by Zhuge Wuhou during the Three Kingdoms period. It is very sophisticated. Well, you can think of it as the current code lock, but it is more complicated than the code lock!" Chen Fan explained with a smile.
Wuhou Bagua Lock is known for its complex techniques, but in the world of spiritual practice, he has seen countless more complex and complicated formations.
With a quick click, Chen Fan moved the fasteners on the box. Under the surprised gaze of Fatty You, Chen Fan kept flipping the fasteners. After more than ten minutes, under Chen Fan's methodical operation, all the fasteners were arranged.
The cloth is neatly arranged to form a complete Nine Palaces Bagua.
The box clicked, and a crack opened in the baguette formed by the fasteners. Fatty You was dumbfounded.
If there is even the slightest mistake in this thing, wouldn't it be impossible to open it?
The iron box was opened, and there was a jade album inside. On the album, there were large traditional Chinese seal characters carved on it. Chen Fan took a look at it, and then gasped.
"The Jade Book of Taoism, what is the origin of this Qingshan Temple? It actually uses the Jade Book of Taoism!"
"Mr. Chen, what is a jade album? This thing looks like an antique. It must be very valuable!" Fatty You's eyes shone.
Chen Fan looked at him as if he were a fool and mocked, "Ignorant!"
How can the jade book and Taoist disc be measured by its value?
Touching the jade album in his hand, even Chen Fan felt faintly excited.
The material of this jade album is spiritual jade. Although the quality is not too high, it is still a good treasure. It is very rare to make a jade album Taoist disc made of such spiritual jade.
The most important thing is that with this Jade Book of Taoism, according to the rules, as long as Chen Fan can write his name on it, he is qualified to inherit the Jade Book of Taoism and inherit the Qingshan Taoist Temple on Xiaoqingshan.
But it is not easy to leave your name on the jade album. This jade album is already a magic weapon, and you can't just use a knife to leave words on it.
But Chen Fan was very interested.
It was not like he had never seen a Taoist jade book or disc before, but this was his first time getting it.
