Guiling Temple is the only place for Buddhist cultivation among the seven holy places in the world. en8. What is emphasized is compassion and peace, equality of all living beings, and the emptiness of all five aggregates. Mianfenglang and Shenyinmen are both holy places of immortality, but they have different emphases. There are many mountain gates in the Immortal Way. They have no struggle with the world and follow the example of nature.
Such two holy places that are not prone to disputes are put together but they are in trouble. In the final analysis, the problem still lies in the word "tradition".
The Shiwan Mountain repeatedly attacks the human race, which is the battle between Qingchuan Mountain Mansion and Lu Tiantan; the battle between Moling Jiange and Shenyinmen is the conflict between humanity and immortality; and Fengdu City once intervened in Tianzhu Kingdom The dynasty change with the Dajing Kingdom turned more than a dozen cities into ghost lands, which was a dispute between ghosts and humans.
Mienfenglang and Guiling Temple are unusual in the entire world of cultivation, but they are common among major holy places. After all, the world of cultivation is dominated by casual cultivators, and their concept does not yet have such a huge component as "tradition". As the leader of various major traditions, the Holy Land is naturally more concerned about this.
It would be better if the other places were far apart. Mienfenlang and Guiling Temple were both on the Daxue Mountain. They could not see each other when they looked up and looked down every day, and there would be several fights at every turn. The development has now reached the point where disciples are sharpened through the disputes among the orthodoxy.
Originally, the Temple of Heaven was also nearby. At that time, there were three pillars of checks and balances, and the behavior was relatively peaceful and the fighting was orderly. However, such a large place in the northwest has limited resources and cannot accommodate three behemoths, so the Temple of Heaven was moved neatly to a densely populated area in central and southern China. The fragile balance between the remaining two has been maintained for a hundred years, and it is feared that a major conflict will break out soon.
The good fortune of the Temple of Heaven, which was moved to Central and South China, only lasted for a hundred years. Recently, there have been frequent conflicts with Qingchuan Shanfu further south. At present, the news that Hu Hanmei, a 100,000-strong mountain demon, leads a million demon army approaching the border of the human race has not yet spread, otherwise there will be another uproar.
But these are not what Yun Qing has to consider right now. She now looked at the row of young monks from Guiling Temple in front of her and felt something unexpected but reasonable.
When they were walking in the secret realm of Han Cave, Chi Gui'er and Taoist Master Junhua stopped talking when they saw her. She didn't know why at that time and didn't have time to think too much. Now she finally knew what they were talking about but stopped talking about.
The Cold Cave Secret Realm is in use by two holy places at the same time, while Mianfenglang only accepts female disciples, and Guiling Temple only accepts male disciples. Therefore, some secret methods for distinguishing must be set up in them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity if the female disciple with excellent qualifications went to Guiling Temple, while the male disciple with outstanding character went to Mianfenglang? Yun Qing figured out this key and used the heavenly book to find out. Sure enough, he used the heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation instrument.
Yin and Yang are created in different ways, and the paths they follow are also different.
This heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation instrument uses various great magical powers to evolve the ultimate principles that created the world. In this secret realm of the cold cave, let the clear yang rise to the sky and the turbid yin return to the earth, grow and collect, and then begin again.
In this way, according to the article "Zhuoyin returns to the earth", Zheng Zhenzhen and the two female disciples of Chixiao Sect fell into the ground, which was completely driven by the secret method. en8. And there was no woman at all on the road Yun Qing took. Chi Gui and Taoist Junhua both belonged to "Qingyang".
Precisely because they knew this irreversible secret law, the two Taoists who met Yun Qing only suspected that they had mistaken Yun Qing for a girl. After all, Yun Qingnian is young, and although his face is slightly feminine, his voice and behavior are almost indistinguishable. The most important thing is that she possesses a heavenly book and is very good at covering up heavenly secrets. Even if she investigates carefully, she cannot draw any conclusions.
As for why Yun Qing was classified as "Qingyang", it probably has something to do with Amang. They have twin lives, and from the perspective of fate, they are basically the same person. No matter how mysterious the heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation device is, there is no way to separate them. So Yun Qing was brought to the disciples of Guiling Temple by accident.
This is a good opportunity to get close to the idea of Lotus Heart Void Hidden View, but of course the crisis that will follow is inevitable.
"This... donor, are you wearing the sacrificial robes of the Temple of Heaven?"
Seeing her appear out of thin air on the top of the mountain, the disciple closest to her stopped chanting, raised his eyes and asked.
Yun Qing nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Exactly, this junior encountered difficulties and dangers on the road. Fortunately, a female disciple from the Temple of Heaven came to help."
The face of the disciple who was guiding him looked very soft under the setting sun. He always had a faint smile, and looked compassionate and indifferent. He nodded and said: "Amitabha, I think the donor must have planted the cause before, so that this result can occur."
He didn't mention the matter of recruiting Yunqing to join him, he just talked about it casually.
Yun Qing's deepest impression of the Buddhist disciples was that they were particularly good at speaking, so he calmed down and said, "Master, what you said is wrong. How do you know she didn't plant the cause this time and want me to bear the consequences of this in the future?"
"Cause and effect are not absolute. Everything can be a cause or an effect. The cause planted by that female disciple is probably the result of another thing." He fiddled with the beads one by one and lowered his eyebrows again. Close your eyes.
Yun Qing was stunned and didn't know how to refute. This led the disciples not necessarily to believe what she said, but most likely they were talking about Buddhism with her, testing her understanding, and examining her character.
At this time, a long bell came from nowhere, and the deep sound trembled on the cold mountain top. It pressed against the heart, making people feel heavy but peaceful.
If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.
Yun Qing listened to the sound of the bell and sat down cross-legged, quietly. The leading disciple glanced at her with a hint of approval in his eyes.
On the top of the mountain, the long wind is blowing, and the branches and leaves are leaning towards each other and folding, and the sound of rustling is endless.
The bells of the ancient temple came through the strong wind. Every time the bell trembled, some dust dispersed in my heart, and I became more enlightened.
After sitting for a long time, she didn't speak until the setting sun shone on Yun Qing's face from in front of the leading disciple.
"Everything in the world is empty, and the same is true for cause and effect. There is no cause or effect in the world. I can't get rid of the worldly desires in my heart, so I tie myself up in a cocoon and force myself to say that cause and effect are connected."
The hand that led the disciple stopped turning the beads, stood up and said calmly: "That's good, just follow me."
Yun Qing stood up with him, his expression calm and without any disturbance.
The leading disciple held a Buddhist bead in one hand and a Zen staff in the other. The staff was made of bamboo and reed and looked very simple, but Yun Qing could feel the restrained and vast Buddhist power emanating from it. He walked to the edge of the cliff, bowed, and slashed the Zen staff against the stone wall. The fragile bamboo reed pierced into the frozen rock. He jumped down, and his whole body was suspended thousands of feet with a bamboo reed Zen staff. High in the sky.
Yun Qing understood that the second test had begun.
A young novice monk standing by the side handed her a similar bamboo reed Zen staff and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the donor will do what he can."
Yun Qing held the Zen staff and was about to use the Xuanyuan Jade Transformation Technique, but he soon realized that the disciple who had just been leading the disciples had clearly not used any magic. She weighed the Zen staff in her hand. It was neither light nor heavy, and the tip was wrapped with cloth. It was impossible to penetrate the hard stone wall without using magic.
So how do you do it to attract disciples
Yun Qing carefully recalled some Buddhist and Taoist scriptures he had seen at the Temple of Heaven. This kind of Zen staff seemed not to be a weapon for fighting, but a tool for alertness during meditation. The master often uses this Zen staff to gently wake up those disciples who have gone astray or have confused minds.
Wait, the tool of alertness!
Yun Qing had some vague guesses. She imitated the way she guided her disciples, and put her Zen staff against the stone wall. She used the bamboo and reed Zen staff as a medium to carefully sense the resonance between her true energy and the earth. The spiritual energy escaping from the heaven and earth floated between the Zen staff and the stone wall. Yun Qing tried to integrate the true energy with nature and slowly circulated it until he was no longer separated from the earth. She didn't use any force in her hands, and the stone wall seemed to split open on its own, swallowing up the bamboo reed Zen staff bit by bit and biting it tightly.
A tool of vigilance, which uses the technique of enlightenment to turn the inanimate into something spiritual.
Yun Qing saw that the Zen staff was firmly planted, so he jumped down, holding the Zen staff with his uninjured arm, and hung in the sky with the leading disciple.
"Very good, let's go." The leading disciple took out the Zen staff and slid down about ten feet. Then he quickly inserted the Zen staff back and stabilized his body. Repeatedly, he quickly distanced himself from Yun Qing.
"Our temple is built suspended in the middle of the mountain. It's a long way to go, so be careful." This slightly lower voice was not blown away by the mountain wind and reached Yun Qing's ears clearly.
Yun Qing's physical strength was slightly weaker. If he failed to react for a moment and broke the bamboo reed Zen staff, he would really have no way to survive.
She carefully pulled out the Zen staff. As she slid down, a strong wind blew, forcing her to put the Zen staff back in again. Drawing and sending away like this wastes much more energy than that of leading the disciples.
Yun Qing gritted his teeth and froze on the spot, tried his best to calm down, and concentrated on feeling the direction of the wind. Taking advantage of the moment of peace, he quickly slid out more than a dozen feet, and then tried to send the bamboo reed Zen staff back, but it was difficult to fully maintain his true energy during such a move. The fluctuations close to the earth continued to exceed twenty feet before she managed to stop herself from falling.
Because the fall distance was too large, the burden on her arms when she stopped was also huge. Yun Qing felt that both hands were in terrible pain. She lowered her head and glanced at her, she saw that the leading disciple was already shadowy in the sea of clouds.
From the initial debate on Buddhism, to the hint of enlightenment, and now on the extremely dangerous road down the mountain, Yun Qing's qualifications to inherit the Buddhist heritage, his understanding of Buddhist allusions, and his perseverance and persistence were examined in turn.
The inheritance of the Holy Land has a clearer view of the path of cultivation than anyone else. After doing this three times, they have told Yun Qing one thing. If there is no perseverance, then no matter how good your understanding and qualifications are, it will be in vain.
Yun Qing passed the first two points easily, and she didn't want to be stuck on the most important step.
At this time, her injured shoulder cracked again. She didn't even dare to use her zhenqi to make a slight adjustment, for fear that she would break the bamboo reed Zen staff with a casual movement.
As soon as the blood came out, it was blown by the wind and solidified, sticking to the sacrificial clothes, making it very uncomfortable to stick to the body.
Yun Qing shifted his attention from the injury to the bamboo reed Zen staff and concentrated on it. She pulled out the Zen staff again, this time better than before. It fell about ten feet and then stopped. She breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized her body in the wind, and continued to adjust her Qi.
When the wind calmed down, he followed the previous practice. Repeatedly, he became more and more proficient in controlling his true energy, but his strength became increasingly difficult to support.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Qing almost felt that his hands were losing consciousness, and then the voice of the disciple who was guiding him came to his ears.
"This is it, please come down."
The strength in Yun Qing's hand gave way and he fell from above. He took a few steps back in embarrassment before standing up.
The huge building in front of you is harmoniously embedded in the mountain. It uses hard rocks to support the beams and columns. The towers and pavilions are connected by corridors. Half of them are hidden in the stone walls, and half of them are exposed. These palaces and pavilions rely on the mountains, continuously surrounding the entire snow-capped mountains, twists and turns, and extremely steep. It is connected with dangerous cliffs at the top, deep valleys at the bottom, with the snow-capped mountains as its back and the grassland facing the grassland.
This is Guiling Temple.
