Chapter one hundred and ninety-six, the dove occupies the magpie's nest
These paper people are different from the traditional "paper-cutter". The paper-cutters used for burial are weird and a bit gloomy. The paper-cutters serving in this Baiyun Temple are more like spiritual things. They not only do not give people a sense of fear, but also make people curious.
Li Wei looked at these paper men with great interest, and was somewhat similar to his "writing is like a god".
There are not many people in the mountain gate, and the chores are basically maintained by these paper men.
There are also some small Taoist sects who are very curious about Li Wei's arrival. They are not the young Taoist sect who can actually be greeted by Master Lingkongzi himself.
Li Wei and Ling Kongzi walked around the Baiyun Temple.
After that, Ichimako came out in a hurry and bowed to apologize.
"Sorry, sorry, it was the old Taoist priest who was neglected. There was important news from the ninth department just now, and some things need to be neglected."
"Hahaha, it's okay, I and fellow Taoist Lingkongzi are not bad to play here."
Here, Ichimako also introduced this Baiyun Temple.
There are not many descendants of this Baiyun Temple, and they have been mainly focused on the essence of the past.
Moreover, this Taoist temple that has been passed down from ancient times to the present has not been circulated. Compared with other Taoist temples with inheritance, this Baiyun Temple can be considered quite simple.
"There is no inherited book documentary."
This really surprised Li Wei.
Ichimako smiled and said, "Our ancestors believe that classics can clearly see the past, but cannot see the future. And the most precious quality of our human beings is to move forward fearlessly along the future. The only thing left is the calculation item used in the past."
“It’s interesting…”
Li Wei felt that this Baiyunguan ancestor had a bit of materialistic values.
After talking again, I learned that this Baiyun Temple does not belong to the Quanzhen Taoist, which is transcendent to the outside world, does not look like a talisman, or even communicates with the way of the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Law.
It is more like a path to see oneself clearly and cultivate oneself.
Cultivate the golden elixir, but not the immortality.
Cultivate the method of subduing demons and also practice the way of talismans.
The method of driving away paper people is somewhat like the Yin-Yang Way of Hiroshima Country. Li Wei mentioned it, but Ichimako later said disdainfully that it just looks similar, but it is just similar in appearance.
The paper curse Shikigami controlled by the Yin-Yang Road of the Japanese Island Kingdom is the logic of action that has been defined before. If it is necessary to compare it, it is similar to a machine and a godless thing.
The control technique on Baiyun Temple is more like injecting the spiritual principles of heaven and earth. It is a thing with a divine action.
A godless thing is naturally better used as a prop. However, if you only focus on creating props by practicing Taoism, you will fall into the inferiority.
The most skill of the master is the method of star-gazing and calculating the sky.
It is precisely because of this ability that Baiyun Temple is so capable of...
From ancient times to the present, you must know how many practice methods have been published before, which have been submerged in history.
Star-gazing and fortune-telling are still useful. They have avoided many disasters and are not like other sects. When they see the path of cultivation decline, they can't help but get involved in the luck of the dynasty to help them practice. As a result, in the past, the soup was not drunk and the dynasty was destroyed together. It can be said that it was extremely sad.
Yi Zhenzi mentioned that the profound method passed down from his sect was star-watching fortune telling, and said with emotion.
"The most taboo thing for us to watch and tell fortunes is to tell fortunes for ourselves."
"After all, what is said is good, knowing the sky is easy, and it is difficult to go against the sky... Sometimes when you see your own destiny, it is a cruel torture."
“It’s true.”
Li Wei nodded in agreement.
...
Li Wei continued to admire the grand scenery of Baiyun Mountain in front of him in Baiyun Temple.
On the other side, monks from Baima Temple also came to visit Baiyun Mountain and participate in Tianla Day.
Not only the monks from White Horse Temple, but also some fellow practitioners from Quanzhen and Dragon and Tiger Path came.
The famous inheritance back then has now made the unknown Baiyun lineage active to this point. Although people from the Quanzhen Dragon and Tiger lineage are not very happy, there is no way. After all, the luck of the Dynasty protects them. Baiyun Temple's luck is visible to the naked eye.
At the foot of Baiyun Mountain, a group of monks should also come to Baiyun Temple.
Although Ichimako doesn't like these bald heads very much, she should not be too polite and negligent as a colleague of the ninth department.
The one who came to Baiyun Temple was Master Jueming, a monk who would make people feel a little elegant when he first met. Ling Kongzi met him and went to receive other Taoists.
Jueming murmured.
"Today, so many fellow practitioners of casual cultivators have also come... It's okay."
It will not have much impact on the overall situation.
At this time, a little Taoist priest next to him looked at the birds sitting on the trees next to him.
The little Taoist priest with buns was very cute and curiously said, "What kind of bird is this..."
Then the little Taoist priest looked at the side, Jueming, the "adult", full of inquiries and curiosity.
Jueming glanced at the bird and said with a smile.
"This bird is called the kestrelbore, also called the turtledove."
"This is the turtledove, I know I know!" The little Taoist priest said: "Wi Magpie has a nest, and Wei Ju stays with him. His son returns to the back, and a hundred taels of liang will control him. His magpie has a nest, and Wei Ju stands with him. His son returns to the back, and a hundred taels of liang will be the back."
The little Taoist priest recited the "Magpie Nest" in the Book of Songs with smug pride.
Jueming praised: "Awesome, then do you know what the allusion in this story is?"
"Allusion? I don't understand."
The little Taoist priest just recited the Book of Songs, but did not understand the meaning.
"You cannot just memorize, but you must also understand the meaning. This is the right way to learn. You cannot just see the shape of it, but you must also understand the principles."
Jueming said softly.
"The turtledove will take over the magpies' nests and leave them nowhere to go."
"The turtledove is so bad!" The little Taoist priest was shocked. He just thought that this kestrel bird was quite beautiful.
At this time, the kestrel bird flew away and occupied the magpie's nest on the other side.
"Yes, the turtledove is so bad that as an invader, it has occupied the nests that others have worked hard to build, and there is no more hateful creature than this."
Although Jueming was calling out the turtledove bird on his mouth, the place he saw was the Taoist statue in the hall.
Finally, my eyes fell on the little jade Buddha I carried with me, which was the token of White Horse Temple.
At this moment, Jueming murmured to himself in a voice that only he knew.
"No matter how Buddhism and Taoism are, they are all occupying the magpie's nest..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic power on his body began to rise, and the jade Buddha in his hand shattered.
A burning feeling attacked the magpie's nest. The turtledove bird was burning and burning with fire. It took a while to extinguish it. After extinguishing, it did not dare to approach the magpie's nest and flew away without looking back...
