358 chapters, there should be a dragon soaring and clouds changing, and spring comes to the world

Zeren pondered: "I know it was him, but sixteen years ago he had sealed his spiritual sense and forgot to practice and was willing to walk around the world for mortals. This spiritual pill is not easy to give it to."

Shouzheng smiled and said, "The mysterious power of the person is not something that can be measured. If he comes, let him take it. If he doesn't come, wait for him to take it. Just keep the trust of the ancestors of all generations."

...

While Shouzheng and Zeren were talking to each other before the Fengtai, a young mother passed by next to Cuiting Temple on the side of Zhaoting Mountain. She stopped in front of the temple and told her son about the history of the temple. Her name was Liu Feier, a Chinese teacher at Wucheng Middle School. Her son was named Liu Yancheng with his mother's surname. She was eleven years old this year and she looked very well-behaved and cute.

This Cuiting Temple was originally a Guanyin Temple for Sending Children in Wucheng District. A few years ago, due to large-scale urban construction, Wucheng City transformed Zhuangyuan Road where Guanyin Temple was located into a cultural street. The expanded street happened to pass through the original site of the temple, so the chandelier was demolished.

When it comes to the Guanyin Temple for Sale, there is nothing that the old people in Wucheng don’t know about. It has a lot of history, many years, and has been rebuilt many times after going through the vicissitudes of life. People still remember the two "catastrophes" that they have encountered in recent decades.

Once, during the movement to destroy the Four Olds in the late Cultural Revolution, the Bodhisattva in the temple was moved away and the temple was transformed into a kindergarten. About ten years later, with the implementation of religious policies in the reform and opening up, the kindergarten became Guanyin Temple again in the mid-1980s, reshaping the Bodhisattva.

But the good times did not come. In the 21st century, due to the economic development, the Guanyin Temple was eventually demolished and disappeared from Wucheng District.

There were many different voices around the stay and departure of this small temple at that time. Staff from the Buddhist Association and the History and Chronicles Office pointed out that this small temple looked inconspicuous, but its historical status in Wucheng was very important, and records can be traced back to the early Tang Dynasty.

It is said that in the early Tang Dynasty, the people of Wuzhou saw Guanyin Bodhisattva appearing in Zhaoting Mountain. Liu Boshu, the head of the local aristocratic family, donated the temple on the hillside where the Bodhisattva appears. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, there was a green snow immortal appearing in the mountains. overnight, the temple appeared out of thin air in Wuzhou City for people from all directions to worship.

Of course, these are all myths and legends. I will say it without saying it, but there are clear records in the local historical records of Wuzhou. It is said that Wu Zetian, who was in power at that time, issued an edict to enthrone Luxue as the mountain god, and ordered Wuzhou Prefecture to build the Buddhist Jiulin Zen Temple.

The legend not only contains written records, but also has historical evidence. In the wild peach forest at the foot of Zhaoting Mountain, there is a mountain god temple, which has been abandoned and destroyed. There is a painted statue inside, with a line of words engraved on the base: "The position of the god of the god of Zhaoting Mountain". In the late 1980s, it attracted people's attention and was identified by archaeologists as a precious Tang Dynasty cultural relic.

Later, the local government and tourism department repaired the main hall of the Mountain God Temple, and built a new three-layer courtyard with east-west side halls. The snow stream spring on the mountain wall behind the temple was also surrounded in the courtyard, becoming a scenic spot under the Tourism Bureau. The current wild peach forest is called Shenshu Forest, and the snow stream spring is called Shenshui Spring. We asked famous artists to engrave stones in the local area.

There are more than one related historical sites. There is also a Jiulin Zen Temple in the old city in the northwest suburbs of Wucheng. The temple name is written by Wu Zetian Feng. A dragon cypress in front of the door is said to have been planted by Shan Wuwei, a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed nearly 1,300 years old.

According to historical legends and historical sites, the Wucheng Cultural Department finally decided to "restore" the original historical appearance of a thousand years ago and rebuilt Cuiting Temple on a relatively open gentle slope on the side of Zhaoting Mountain. It is the temple that Liu Feier and Liu Yancheng and his son are seeing now.

The demolition of Guanyin Temple and the reconstruction of the mountains were both events that happened during the reign of Feng Huaiyuan, the former mayor of Wucheng. It is said that Feng Huaiyuan had listened to the opinions of the cultural department and wanted to retain the Guanyin Temple in the city, but after looking at the planning map of the new urban area, the construction of a cultural street was second-hand, which also involved traffic transformation, road widening, and the laying planning of urban sewers and pipelines. His opinion was also demolished, and it was also recommended to rebuild it in Zhaoting Mountain according to historical legends.

"Modern urban construction is people-oriented, so please ask the Bodhisattva to go up the mountain! According to ancient legends, Guanyin Bodhisattva returned to his hometown and talked about today's affairs, and could also make some contributions to the Zhaoting Mountain Scenic Area." - This is a half-joking statement that Feng Huaiyuan said at the discussion meeting.

Although this Guanyin Temple has a long history, its building was rebuilt in modern times and has no cultural value. It was demolished on the spot and then rebuilt in Zhaoting Mountain. The name was restored from "Sending Zi Guanyin Temple" to the "Cuiting Temple" recorded in historical records.

The site selection of the temple is very particular. Even if it is not publicly promoted, it is necessary to investigate Feng Shui secretly. Zhang Rongdao, the largest industrialist in Wucheng and the chairman of Rongdao Group, was the largest donor of the newly built Cuiting Temple, and he was also responsible for the site selection at that time. Zhang Rongdao was not sure about the "point base" of Cuiting Temple, so he invited a man named Feng Junzi to come and finally determined the location of the main hall.

More than 1,300 years ago, the little fairy boy Qingfeng used his magic to move the temple out of the mountain, and the people of Wuzhou thought it was a miracle. More than 1,300 years later, Cuiting Temple returned to its original place. This time, there was no great power to transfer space, just a document.

The legends from a thousand years ago seem out of reach, but they have a thousand ties with contemporary people and are invisibly inseparable from each other. Liu Feier, a Chinese teacher at Wucheng Middle School, was a descendant of the Liu family who built Cuiting Temple in the early Tang Dynasty.

Liu Feier's husband Shi Ye is also an industrialist in Wucheng. He also invested in the fund when he donated the building of Cuiting Temple. Feng Junzi is Feng Huaiyuan's son and was a classmate of high school with Shi Ye. Their class teacher was Liu Feier, who had just graduated from college at that time. This situation is rare.

Taking advantage of the National Day holiday and autumn outing, Liu Feier took her son Yan Cheng to Zhaoting Mountain and told this story on the spot in front of Cuiting Temple. The history is very complicated. The content of Liu Feier's words to her children is both charming and heavy. Yan Cheng cannot fully understand it at a young age, but remembering these, as time grows up, there will be more and more understandings.

After listening to it, Xiao Yancheng asked another question: "When I entered the mountain, the three words "Gu Zhaoting" were engraved on the stone yard of the mountain gate, but the Tang poems my mother taught me to me are written as Jingting Mountain?"

Liu Feier explained: "This mountain has been called Zhaoting since ancient times. In the early Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wen Sima Zhao, it was renamed Jingting, which was used in many subsequent generations."

Xiao Yancheng blinked and asked, "What are you avoiding? Why?"

This question is hard to explain in a few words. Liu Feier was explaining to her son patiently, and a couple came from the mountain.

The man is Feng Junzi, in his thirties, wearing a purple-embellished Tang suit, walking calmly with a smile, with a very upright and handsome appearance, but his temples are dyed with frosty and snow. The woman's name is Xiao Yunyi, who looks twenty-five or sixty, wearing light-colored casual clothes, looks beautiful and cute, with a bit of playful and lively expression.

They were newly married, and they took advantage of the National Day holiday to go out to play. They arrived at Feng Junzi's hometown and came to Zhaoting Mountain on that day. The two of them walked and talked. Xiao Yunyi said: "I have visited many scenic spots and seen them a lot. The mountains, rivers, plants and trees are no different from other places. But when you tell them, there are so many allusions. Even a stone has a big story. It's just a living thing. When you look at the stone again, it feels very different. It's so interesting!"

Feng Junzi smiled and said, "Writing has a rhyme to make poetry, and the mountains and rivers have a rhyme to see the charm. If a person has no rhyme, there is no charm in his eyes. Everything he sees is nothing but plants, trees, earth and stones, and it is dull and unparalleled. This thousand-year-old poetic mountain in Jiangnan contains a lot. If you don't understand her, of course there is nothing in your eyes. Looking at the mountains is like looking at people, and seeing the form and knowing the spirit."

Xiao Yunyi also smiled, shook Feng Junzi's arm and said, "I like to hear you talk about these things the most. What other famous places and historical sites in Wucheng?"

Feng Junzi pointed at the distance at the foot of the mountain: "There is a Wenchang Pavilion in Wenchang Township, which commemorates Mr. Changli Han Yu. If you don't know Han Changli, what you see is nothing more than an old building and nothing feels... There is the Fairy Altar in the deep mountains, and there is Danxitai further away. It is said to be a ruin of immortals. If you are ignorant, you can't see anything unusual when you walk over. It's just an altar of the tomb, a Danqiutai acupoint... There is also Qianlongyuan in Baimang Mountain. When I was a child, I touched the cave next to me and saw the Song Dynasty writing poems. It has been hundreds of years, and the ink traces are as new as new."

Xiao Yunyi: "Do you still remember that poem?"

Feng Junzi chanted: "The layers of strange rocks have been covered with thousands of years, and the twists and turns are natural. There should be a divine dragon soaring and clouds changing, and it will be filled with spring when it comes to the world."

Xiao Yunyi widened her eyes and exaggeratedly: "Wow, there is a dragon!"

Feng Junzi: "That place is called Qianlongyuan, where you are in the scene and have the thoughts of the divine dragon."

Xiao Yunyi: "Do you remember clearly? The last sentence is a little wrong, and it is not as good as the ones you just introduced."

Feng Junzi smiled again: "How can anyone compete with Li Bai?...There is Cuiting Temple in front of me. After passing Cuiting Temple, it is Taibai Tower. Legend has it that Li Bai visited Jingting nine times in his life, and it is clearly recorded in historical materials seven times."

Xiao Yunyi: "Cuiting'an? It's the kindergarten you went to when you were a child. Now you have moved here?"

Feng Junzi replied, "It's it, not it. It was called Guanyin Temple, the Guanyin Temple at that time. Otherwise, we will go in and burn incense too?"

Xiao Yunyi blushed, pointed to the tourists entering and leaving the temple, and asked: "As you said just now, can you really see the Bodhisattvas who came up the mountain to burn incense?"

Feng Junzi said calmly: "If you don't see infinite light in your heart, what you see on the Buddha's altar is nothing but clay-shaped wooden body."

Xiao Yunyi: "You can't say that, you're very pious, I can see that those people are very pious."

Feng Junzi shook his head and said, "People often say that faith is effective, and this sentence is not entirely true. Bodhisattvas practice people like me, with cold eyes and compassion. Believing or not is their own business. If they only see what they ask in their hearts and do not know what they do, Bodhisattvas are like the blue smoke in front of the incense table."

Xiao Yunyi patted him: "Look at what you said, you can only see the incense when burning incense, but you can't see the Bodhisattva?"

Feng Junzi showed a naughty expression: "That might be possible."

Xiao Yunyi: "Maybe something?"

Feng Junzi laughed and said, "Maybe the Bodhisattva is the big girl selling fruits in front of the temple. If you know him or not, that's another matter."

Xiao Yunyi frowned slightly and said, "Honey, you are good at everything, just the attitude and tone of saying these words. Some people may not be willing to listen to them, or even be disgusted."

Feng Junzi stopped smiling and nodded seriously: "That's right. I have had this problem since I was a child, so it is both popular and some people don't like it. Only when I was thirty did I gradually understand how to reflect on myself."

Xiao Yunyi: "Then why are you still like this?"

Feng Junzi blinked: "You ask me, I just say that, and you are willing to listen. There is no need to be in front of outsiders. And you are my inner person!"

Xiao Yunyi was amused and held Feng Junzi's arm and asked, "There is a big girl in front of the temple gate with a child. Is that a Bodhisattva?"

Feng Junzi looked at him and let go of Xiao Yunyi and said, "What's your look? What kind of girl is that? Is my high school teacher, Teacher Liu!" Xiao Yunyi also recognized her. When she was having dinner at Zhiweilou in Wucheng the day before yesterday, she saw Shi Ye and his wife and their children.

Feng Junzi quickly walked forward, and lowered his head and said hello from a distance: "Hello Teacher Liu, are you taking Yan Cheng to the autumn outing?"

When Liu Feier saw Feng Junzi, she smiled and said hello: "Come Xiao Xiao to visit the mountains? You can go to Wucheng, you can't go anywhere else, but you can't come to Zhaoting Mountain, although many people think there is nothing good to look at."

Xiao Yunyi quickly said, "It's pretty good, I really should come. Listen to Feng Junzi's lecture on the road, it's such a good mountain."

After a few chats, Feng Junzi teased Yan Cheng and said, "Yan Cheng, call him uncle." Liu Yancheng was very obedient and was much more well-behaved than most boys of this age. He really called him uncle.

Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi came down from the mountain. After saying hello, Liu Feier took Xiao Yancheng to continue up the mountain. Feng Junzi stood politely in front of the temple door and watched. Xiao Yunyi patted his shoulder and said, "You respect the teacher very much, but she didn't see it either."

Feng Junzi: "Respect is what should be done with whether she sees or not?"

Xiao Yunyi asked curiously: "Why are you calling Yancheng your uncle, not your uncle?"

Feng Junzi grinned and replied, "Uncle is in the seniority of his mother-in-law's family, and his uncle is a relative of Pan's mother's family. Yan Cheng is not only the son of Teacher Liu, but also the son of my classmate Ishino. The name is still given by me."

Xiao Yunyi asked curiously: "Teacher Liu is forty, right? Why is he so young and looks like your big girl?"

Feng Junzi: "She is eight years older than me and seventeen years older than you. She is really good at maintaining her beauty. It makes people wonder what elixirs she has taken?"

Xiao Yunyi quipped: "You like to go through the Tao. Have you seen any art of maintaining beauty?"

Feng Junzi half-jokingly said, "Of course I have it, do you want to learn it? I can teach you now."

Xiao Yunyi: "Of course I want to learn, tell me quickly!"

Feng Junzi pretended to be mysterious and spread his hands: "The best wonderful way to nourish the face in the world is our wonderful hands. Starting from rubbing the palm of your hand, I will teach you the simplest way to pick the sun and eat the sun."

He taught a set of methods, and he didn't know whether it was true or false when talking and laughing. It is said that everyone can practice it-

On a clear and windless morning, wash your hands and face, choose a place with a fresh environment, stand in the morning glow at sunrise, relax your body and mind, remove distracting thoughts and adjust your breath and enter tranquility. How to measure the state of "entering quiet" first and then "entering the country"? There is a standard.

The eyes seem to be closed, not to be closed, both as if you have opened your eyes and seen the glow of light and as if you have closed your eyes and felt the glow of light. If you have forgotten that you have opened your eyes and closed your eyes, but you can "visualize" the glow of light to rise and reach a "no difference" state, it means you have entered the country.

In this state, the rays are warm and rejuvenated, which not only bathes the whole body, but also invisibly seems to shine through the whole body. The thoughts are gentle and the rays of the rays of the body do not dissipate, condensed into one with the furnace and cauldron. This is the "Sun Picking and Refining Technique". If you open your mouth to swallow the morning glow, jade liquid will be produced under the tongue, and then you will be given a dose, it is the "Summer and Fasting Technique".

This is the simplest and most basic method of introductory practice. As for what effect will be after practicing, can you get started? Only those who practice practice know it themselves, but it has no disadvantages. Anyone can practice it. After completing the exercise, you can add another movement, rub the palms relatively gently, until the palms are slightly hot and feel a little smooth, and you don’t have to use too much force for too long.

Then gently rub your face with both hands, and it will be until it feels a little hot and smooth. This is the recipe for nourishing your face. - If you persist in practicing, you will have miraculous effects!

After hearing this, Xiao Yunyi was skeptical: "What you said is really like, have you practiced it yourself?"

Feng Junzi: "Yes, I practiced fasting when I was in college, and I dare not say that I am not in the world. But as long as I practice it, it is okay to not eat for ten days and half a month."

Xiao Yunyi burst into laughter: "You spent all your living expenses at that time and had no food to eat, right? Why haven't you practiced now?"

Feng Junzi glared at his wife: "You know that I love sleeping in, how can you have time to watch the sunrise?"

Xiao Yunyi's laughter continued: "What kind of beauty-restraining skills should you brag with others in the future? Let's talk about it first."

Feng Junzi stretched out his hand and raised his temples: "Isn't it you said? I look more handsome with white hair."

Xiao Yunyi nodded with her lips: "Well, she is quite handsome, and I don't even see whose husband it is?"

Feng Junzi: "Don't you believe it, right? It is said that Princess Yuzhen of the Tang Dynasty had the skills to stay in the face and also practiced the technique of picking sun and eating clouds."

Xiao Yunyi asked back: "Have you ever seen Princess Yuzhen?"

Feng Junzi: "Of course I have never seen it, but Princess Yuzhen's tomb is at the foot of Zhaoting Mountain, not far from the mountain temple. I passed by it today."

Xiao Yunyi spat and said, "Talking nonsense in broad daylight!" Then he thought of something again, and grabbed Feng Junzi's sleeve and said, "The one you just said is very suitable to deceive girls! Tell me, how many girls have you used it for so many years?"

Feng Junzi: "No one has ever deceived me! I was teaching girls in the class out of sympathy when I was in school, but they didn't believe it."

Xiao Yunyi glared: "Compassionate? I think it's ulterior motive! When we had a dinner at Zhiweilou the day before yesterday, the one named Tian Wei in your class looked at you with a very wrong look. I honestly tell you, what's wrong with you?"
