Chapter 249: The mountain god does not go to Galan, and the national master comes to transform into good fortune
Shan Wuwei selected the site for Guangjiao Temple. It was not in the city but ten miles away from the north gate. The place he pointed was very accurate, just at a special location in the Jiulian Mountains.
Feng Shui Bureau is often called the dragon vein. There are many mysterious aspects of the movement of the earth energy, which is difficult to describe intuitively. It is reluctant to summarize. The spiritual roots of the earth energy in Wuzhou are in the Qingyi Sanshan. The three mountains are rolled up like dragon tails in the big lake. It is the birthplace of the rise of the spirit pivot of the earth energy. Jingting Mountain connects the plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and looks like a place where dragons enter the sea. The end of the entire earth energy is where Jingwu Villa is located, commonly known as the dragon spitting pearls, and is a place where spiritual energy circulates.
Guangjiao Temple is located between Jingting Mountain and Wuzhou City, ten miles apart. In terms of appearance, it is the shoulder and neck of the dragon exploring the sea. From the perspective of Feng Shui, although this place is good, it is not as full as Qingyi Sanshan and Jingting Mountain, it can lock the entire earth vein and calm the mountains and rivers here.
There is no impact on building pastoral villas and other ordinary houses in this place, but it is unknown whether it is the impact of building a temple by a monk like Shan Wuwei.
Not to mention anything else, the first thing to be affected is Jingting Mountain. It is outside the gate of Qingfeng’s Golden Immortal Temple, only ten miles away from the foot of the mountain. If Shan Wuwei makes any big noise, it may disturb the Qingfeng and the bright moon that are seclusion in the mountains. Zhongli Quan was entrusted by Qingfeng to protect Jingting Mountain, of course, he had to ask Shan Wuwei’s way of building a temple.
Mei Zhenyi looked at the Wuzhou Mountains and Rivers Gallery and felt inexplicable emotion. She thought that shortly after he came to this world, he discovered that Jiulian Mountain in Wuzhou was a rare Feng Shui Earth Que, but there were only Qi Yunguan and Cuiting Temple in the mountains. The scale was very small, but it had no effect on the earth's spiritual power.
Decades have passed, and looking at this vein, the Feng Shui Bureau is close to its completeness. In the eyes of practitioners, almost all available places have been occupied. The Qingyi Sanshan Cave Heaven, Jingting Mountain Golden Immortal Temple, and the Jiulin Zen Temple, which have been preserved in the ground.
In addition, there are Cuiting Temple and Jingfu Temple, which echo the southwest and northeast corners of Wuzhou City. These two places are the nourishment for the vent of earth energy. In addition to Jingwu Villa, the other two ground eyes of this land vein are the place where the Qingfeng moves over, and the other is the address selected by the Nestorian Luo Zhang.
With the means of a practitioner, the only place on this vein that can be made more of a fuss is Jingwu Villa, but it is the Mei family’s private residence and others cannot move it.
Originally, there were only Cuiting Temple and Qiyun Temple in the mountains outside the city. They were worshipped by the Mei family and had little impact on the secular people's livelihood. Now, a large-scale temple group such as Jiulin Zen Temple and Guangjiao Temple have been added in the city and outside the city, but only a few decades have been spent. These temples have dedicated land for worship, each monk gives 30 acres of land, but they do not do production, do not perform labor service, and do not pay taxes. If they continue to develop at this rate, it will sooner or later have an impact on society, and they will also be affected by themselves.
In addition to being a religious venue for believers, the temples at that time also had a special function, which was similar to the current bank and a bit like pawnshops. The temples collected the incense money from believers and also did good deeds. They usually did two things: one was to donate alms porridge during famine, just like the disaster relief acts of the government and some wealthy families; the other was that if believers needed money urgently, they could borrow from the temple.
Buddhist doctrines start to do good deeds, so the temple does not charge interest for borrowing money from outside, and the amount of money borrowed is equivalent to the current interest-free loan for poverty alleviation. However, borrowing money from the temple requires mortgage. Mortgage of property or house deeds, land deeds, etc. is also normal. The temple is not a powerful authority, and if someone borrows money and does not repay it, there is no other way to pursue it.
When you have difficulty in capital turnover, someone provides interest-free loans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Just talking about things is of course a good thing! It is much better than the current banks, let alone those who lend money to usury. Borrowing money requires mortgage. A temple is equivalent to a pawnshop, but it does not make profits without interest. If a believer is wrong or feels grateful, he can also offer incense money.
In the peaceful and prosperous era, the people were temporarily nervous about their turnover and borrowed money from the temples, and they could basically repay them when they turned back, and there was no hidden danger. However, if there were large-scale famine or war, it might lead to one consequence. That is, a large amount of land was annexed by the temples. Because it was difficult for ordinary people to repay the money they borrowed for, and most of the people who could mortgage it was Tianqi.
This cannot be blamed on temples. Because their status at that time was equivalent to controlling the finance of this area. In the process of social development, the concentration of local resources and financial monopoly was difficult to avoid even in modern civilized society. However, the monk fields in temples do not pay taxes. If there are social turmoil such as wars and famines, a large amount of fields will be merged by temples, and the original equal-field system will not be maintained, which will shake the economic foundation of a country.
On the other hand, monks may not be good people, and may not have true practice. If you wear monk robes and remove your bald head, it may not be a person like Zhishu, Huineng, Qiao Jue, who use the name of Buddha to do selfish desires. Just like there have been various scum in the Taoist sect, they cannot guarantee that they will not use social unrest to seize the sect. At that time, the temple will probably be completely suppressed by the government.
Mei Zhenyi did not know about the later Tang Wuzong's destruction of Buddhism before traveling through time, but based on his observation of social evolution, he had a vague premonition. However, now he is still a prosperous era that has never been seen in history, and these contradictions have not yet appeared.
Mei Zhenyi had these thoughts and didn't say them in her heart. Zhongli Quan planned to find Shan Wuwei, at least hello to the monk - don't alarm Jingting Mountain when building a temple.
Mei Zhenyi dissuaded: "Master doesn't have to take the initiative to pay homage to Shan Wuwei. If he is not a master, it doesn't matter how hard he is. If he really has great cultivation, he will not be unaware of the situation in Wuzhou, and will not be unaware of the Qingfeng. Mingyue will be in seclusion in Jingting Mountain. We are the master and he is a guest. I order my servant to send a prayer letter and invite him to the mountain."
Zhongli Quan: "That fearless cultivation is above me. Although I don't know his origin, I must be a master and senior in the lower realm of the Buddha's kingdom. It is also a ritual for me to pay my respects."
Mei Zhenyi shook her head and said, "If the Taoist fellows in the fairy world come and go to pay homage, it is not bad for the master to pay homage. But now he is in the world, and he is in Wuzhou to set up a temple, but it is built outside Jingting Mountain. He should worship the mountain according to the etiquette of the practitioners in the world."
Zhongli Quan rang his fan and smiled, "You really got Sun Simiao's true teachings. No matter who the other party is, you can deal with it as much as you should...Okay, Master listens to you. Then I will order someone to send a prayer post, please come to the mountain to explain it clearly."
Before the Zhongli Quandi prayer was delivered, the master and apprentice were talking, and Wuhu Villa informed him that Shan Wuwei was visiting.
Zhongli Quan nodded to his disciple and said, "This monk is not a rule. Since he follows the courtesy, we cannot be rude. We cannot sit here and wait, and follow me out of the mountain to greet him."
Shan Wuwei's eyebrows were all white. However, his waist was straight and straight, and he did not look old at all. His skin was dark yellow and his eye sockets were very deep. His appearance was different from those common in Middle Earth. His facial features seemed a bit fierce, but when he talked to him face to face, he felt a peaceful atmosphere.
He came with his hands behind his back without his followers. The light boat under his feet naturally floated through the rippling Qingyi Lake, which was no less than the style of Bodhidharma crossing the river with reeds. Zhongli Quan led his disciple Mei Zhenyi and disciple Hu Chun, Yu Yue, Shuangquan and others to wait on the lakeside outside the gate of Wuhu Villa and welcomed the monk into the living room of the villa.
Shan Wuwei explained his purpose right away and wanted to build Guangjiao Temple outside Wuzhou City, which may disturb the monks here. Therefore, he came to tell the people. He just greeted him according to etiquette, not to ask Mei Zhenyi for permission, build a temple in the world, or ask for an order. There is no need to let Mei Zhenyi nod.
Zhongli Quan shook his fan and said, "I was about to send someone to invite him, but the master has come to the door. Since you are a Taoist monk, I will just say it. The address you chose for Guangjiao Temple is located on the Jiulian Mountain vein, close to Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two Golden Immortals, the Taoist temples of Qingfeng and Mingyue. When it was built, I was afraid that the two Golden Immortals who were in seclusion in the mountains would be alarmed. I was entrusted by Qingfeng to guard the Jingting Mountain outside, and I must declare to the master."
Shan Wuwei looked embarrassed: "If you build an ordinary house, there will be no disturbance, but if you set up a temple to worship Da Vairocana, you will need to activate the earthly energy when you sit down. The day before yesterday I asked to see the Mount Jingting God, but the Mount God did not show up to meet."
Shan Wuwei went to find Luxue, but Luxue ignored him. Jingting Mountain is not so much a temple for Qingfeng and Mingyue, but rather a temple for the mountain god Luxue. It is a fairy cave where Luxue voluntarily uses her original body as the spiritual root of the heaven and earth, and makes the mountain god Taoist temple become the fairy cave heaven where Qingfeng practices. Shan Wuwei knows the inside story very well. He goes directly to find Luxue, but is turned away.
Mei Zhenyi explained: "Although the land deed of Jingting Mountain belongs to my family, I have given it to Qingfeng. As for the mountain god, it was enthroned by the emperor, and I can't control it."
Shan Wuwei: "Now the mountain god gathers the earth's energy, and the operation of the Lingshu is all under her control. If I can build a temple, but I cannot build a practice temple, it is difficult to place the throne of the Great Vairocana. I don't want to have a conflict, so I come to my door to invite Master Mei and the Immortal Donghua to persuade the mountain god."
Something happened a little unexpected. Although Guangjiao Temple is ten miles away from Jingting Mountain, it refers to the distance from the foot of the main peak, as the mountain god, Luxue controls the temple not only the main peak of Jingting Mountain, but also the extension of the entire Jingting Mountain terrain, which exceeds the Jinxian Temple built by Qingfeng. The edge is exactly where Guangjiao Temple is located.
Mei Zhenyi thought for a while: "Then the master will select the location of Guangjiao Temple and exit one mile."
Shan Wuwei asked with a smile: "Minister Mei is also a great expert. If you want to set up a temple to guard it, is there any more suitable place?"
No one is stupid. Mei Zhenyi can see the Feng Shui situation clearly, and Shan Wuwei can also see it clearly. I guess he has gone around inside and outside Wuzhou. The most suitable place is opposite Jingting Lake. It seems that ordinary people have no difference when moving one mile south, but as a practice temple, it is completely different.
Zhongli Quan said: "Actually, when the master set up a temple, he has obtained the official land deed, and outsiders cannot say anything. But from the perspective of a practitioner, if the Guangjiao Temple is established, the Lingshu earth energy is controlled by the mountain god, and the master does not want to conflict with the mountain god. If the master promises that when the Guangjiao Temple is built and after its completion, it will not disturb Jingting Mountain, I can come forward to persuade Luxue and ask her not to disturb you to build the temple."
The primary contradiction now is not that Shan Wuwei built a temple and alarmed Qingfeng in retreat, but that the mountain god Luxue was worried that the temple would alarm Qingfeng, so she used the mountain god magic in advance to control the earth energy and prevented Shan Wuwei from setting up a temple smoothly here. Mei Zhenyi knew very well that she was doing things. She now recognized Qingfeng in the mountains and Mingyue went to seclusion and refining weapons.
Shan Wuwei Heshi said: "Good, good, Jingting Mountain God's Temple a hundred miles away, I am only ten feet above its edge. I hope you will explain to me, thank you here first!"
Mei Zhenyi smiled and said, "In order to establish a temple, the monk begs for alms from the mountain god, he asked me to persuade me, a monk in the sect. This is also a strange story in the world."
Shan Wuwei: "Make a relationship and follow the fate. I dare not force Zhenren Mei to help me. I will come to my house today and do Zhenren Mei a favor first."
Mei Zhenyi asked unexpectedly: "What do the master want to help me?"
Zhongli Quan suddenly frowned slightly and said to Hu Chun: "Go outside the villa to welcome guests, and another expert is here to visit." He said to Shan Wuwei again: "Master is here today, may it be related to those two people?"
Shan Wuwei nodded and smiled without saying a word. At this time, someone from Qingyi Lake outside the gate of Wuhu Villa used magic power to hear the voice: "Nestled Sin Luo Zhang, please see Mr. Mei!"
The visitor was Luo Zhang, the head of Jingfu Temple. Today, Luo Zhang is very influential among the Nestorians in the Jiangnan area and is also a leader of the Nestorian organizations in several nearby states. He usually sits in Jingfu Temple as the center of sect activities. Although Luo Zhang has a high status among the Nestorians, the Nestorian status was not high in the Tang Dynasty compared with other religions, and his person was not a great role in Wuzhou.
Usually Mei Zhenyi doesn't take the initiative to invite him, so he won't come to Qingyi Sanshan. Today is the first time he is taking the initiative to visit him. Although his cultivation is not low, it won't surprise Zhongli Quan. I believe there is another expert who came here.
Hu Chun opened the entrance to the cave barrier and welcomed the guests into Wuhu Villa. Before he could enter Mei Zhenyi, he felt the powerful magic power fluctuations, and a majestic aura came to his face. Even the cave magic array of Qingyi Sanshan was faintly disturbed. This invisible power was filled with a sense of oppression. It made people involuntarily feel awe.
Mei Zhenyi realized that the visitor had just opened his spiritual consciousness outside the sect, deliberately showing his power and cultivation level, but he did not launch an attack. This cultivation level is far above himself. I am afraid it is not under Master Zhongli Quan. Luo Zhang absolutely does not have this ability, and there are not one but two masters coming.
Luo Zhang looked a little embarrassed when he entered the door, as if he had been thorny. He reluctantly smiled at Mei Zhenyi and bowed according to the etiquette of the Central Plains: "Mr. Mei, you are taking the apology to come to the door today to introduce two masters from the sect. They came from heaven and ordered me to lead the way to visit." After that, he stood aside with his hands down, not even dared to sit.
Two people walked into the hall side by side, and Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but stand up. On the one hand, it was because of surprise, and on the other hand, it was also shocked by the imposing aura emitted by the two of them. Although there was no substantial attack, the feeling of oppression still made him feel unable to sit still. It seemed that it would be more comfortable to stand up and move.
These two are a man and a woman. Both are in their twenties. The man has a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, slightly raised cheekbones, and short golden hair. His skin is fair, handsome and strong in appearance, and is wearing golden armor. The woman's golden hair is curled and brushed to her waist. Her figure is straight and slender, with her lips pursed, and her facial features have an indescribable classical beauty. Her eyes are blue, and when she looks at each other, she feels as deep as the ocean. She is wearing silver armor and a lake blue long skirt.
Both of these two people are very strange in appearance and dressed up. They are obviously not from Central Plains, and they are actually wearing half-body armor when they are visiting. Their expressions are very arrogant, cold and expressionless.
As soon as Mei Zhenyi stood up, Shan Wuwei, who was sitting there, gently waved the sleeves of the monk's robe. The pressure emitted by the two was invisibly dissolved. Zhongli Quan took the opportunity to shake the immortal fan, and Luo Zhang and Hu Chun's expressions at the entrance of the hall also became much more relaxed.
Before he could say a word, the masters in the living room secretly showed their great supernatural realms. Zhongli Quan and Shan Wuwei could completely resist the man and woman, especially Shan Wuwei, whose cultivation was above any of them. The two were also surprised, put away their arrogant faces, saluted with their right hand and bowed to their left chest, and said an opening remark.
They felt very familiar with the earthly words, and they were the same language as the strange chants that Medanzo heard when he died.
Although the language is not clear, they speak with wonderful words and supernatural powers, and they can naturally understand their meanings in their divine thoughts. This is not an ordinary way of language communication, and those who practice can naturally receive it. If they are forced to "translate", it should be like this-
The man said, "I am Michael the messenger of the kingdom under the glory of God. She is Gabriel, the messenger of the kingdom. We are for the fall of Medanzo."
They saluted to the hall, mainly facing Shan Wuwei. It was obvious that the bald monk was the highest-level person here. Shan Wuwei stood up and returned the favor, smiled and said, "I am not the master here, I am also a guest here." Then he walked to the opposite side and sat next to Zhongli Quan.
We need to introduce the layout of the living room of Wuhu Villa. There is a table in the middle. The screen behind it is entitled "Purple Qi Comes East", which is accompanied by the picture of Taoist ancestor riding a green cow to the Hangu. The gate also faces east. On both sides of the table are the owner of the villa, namely the seats of Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan. There is a row of seats on the left and right of each seat. There is a small table of tea sets placed on the right side of each seat, which is for guests and other monks in the mountains.
Just now, Shan Wuwei sat at the top of the left. Zhongli Quan sat opposite him. In front of his master, Mei Zhenyi did not sit in the middle of the master, but sat in Zhongli Quan's lower head and talked face to face with the monk. Shan Wuwei took the initiative to change his seat and sat in the place where Mei Zhenyi was sitting just now. The meaning was very obvious - now it is no longer a private conversation between the practitioners, Mei Zhenyi should sit back to the master's seat to entertain guests.
Michael, Gabriel? The famous archangel in the legend! Even if their cultivation is not as good as Medanzo, they are not far away. It seems that the killing of Medanzo is quite shocking. Mei Zhenyi was not surprised by the so-called fairy world of heaven being alarmed, but he did not expect that the people of the heavenly kingdom came so quickly, and these two men came to find Luo Zhang and came directly to Qingyi Sanshan.
Chapter completed!
