Guiling Temple is the only place for Buddhist practice among the seven holy places in the world. What is emphasized is compassion and peace, all living beings are equal, and all five aggregates are empty. The Mianfeng Corridor and the Shenyin Gate are generally holy places of immortality, but each has its own emphasis. There are many mountain gates in the immortal way, no competition with the world, imitating nature.
Putting these two sacred places that are not prone to disputes together has caused a lot of trouble. In the final analysis, the problem still lies in the word "orthodoxy".
The Shiwan Dashan repeatedly attacked and murdered the people, which was the orthodox dispute between Qingchuan Mountain Mansion and Lutian Temple; the battle between Moling Jiange and Shenyinmen was a conflict between humanity and immortality; The change of dynasties with the Dajing Kingdom, turning more than a dozen cities into ghost domains, is a dispute between ghosts and humans.
The matter of Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple is rare in the entire cultivation world, but it is also common among the major holy places. After all, casual cultivators are the main focus in the cultivation world, and there is no such huge element as "orthodoxy" in their concept. As the leader of the Dao Lineages, the Holy Land is naturally more concerned about this.
It is good that the other places are far away. Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple are both on the Daxue Mountain, and they can’t see each other when they look up and down every day.
Originally, the Lutian Temple was also nearby. At that time, the three-legged confrontation, the three-party check and balance, was considered peaceful and the fighting method was orderly. However, such a large place in the Northwest has limited resources and cannot accommodate three behemoths, so the Lutian Temple was moved to a densely populated place in Central South. The fragile balance of the remaining two has been maintained for a hundred years, and I am afraid that a major conflict will erupt soon.
The Lutian Temple, which was moved to Central South, only lasted for a hundred years. Recently, there have been frequent frictions with Qingchuan Mountain House further south. At present, the news that Hu Hanmei, the 100,000 mountain sky demon, led an army of millions of demons approaching the border of the human race has not yet spread, otherwise there will be another uproar.
But these are not what Yun Qing wants to consider right now. Looking at the row of young monks from Guiling Temple in front of her now, she felt unexpected but reasonable.
Walking in the secret place of the cold cave before, old man Chi Gui and Taoist Junhua hesitated to speak when they saw her. She didn't know why at that time, and she didn't think too much about it. Now she finally knows what they were hesitating to speak.
The cold cave secret realm is used by two holy places at the same time, and Mianfenglang only accepts female disciples, and Guiling Temple only accepts male disciples, so there must be some secret methods for distinguishing between them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that female disciples with excellent aptitude went to Guiling Temple, while male disciples with outstanding temperament went to Mianfenglang? Yun Qing figured out this trick, and used the heavenly book to find out, and it really used the heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation instrument.
Yin and Yang are created in different ways, and the ways they walk are also different.
This heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation instrument uses various supernatural powers to evolve the ultimate principle of opening up the world. Let the clear yang in the secret place of this cold cave go to the sky, and the turbid yin return to the earth, grow and store, and start again and again.
In this way, Zheng Zhenzhen and the two female disciples of the Chixiao Sect fell into the ground according to the principle of "returning the turbid yin to the ground", which was completely driven by the secret method. And the road that Yun Qing was walking on did not see a woman at all, both old Chi Gui and Taoist Jun Hua belonged to "Qing Yang".
It is precisely because of knowing this irreversible law of the secret realm that the two practitioners who met Yun Qing just suspected that they mistook Yun Qing for a girl. After all, Yun Qingnian Ji Xiao, although his face is slightly feminine, his voice and behavior are almost indistinguishable. The most important thing is that she possesses a book from the sky, and she is very capable of concealing the secrets of the sky. Even if she investigates carefully, she can't draw any conclusions.
As for why Yunqing was classified as "Qingyang", it probably has something to do with Amang. They have twin lives, and they are basically one person in terms of fate, no matter how mysterious the heaven and earth yin and yang differentiation instrument is, there is no way to separate the two of them. So Yun Qing was brought in front of the receiving disciples of Guiling Temple by accident.
This is a good opportunity to get close to the idea of Lianxinxukongzang, of course, the crisis that comes with it is also inevitable.
"This... benefactor, are you wearing the sacrificial attire of walking on the Temple of Heaven?"
Seeing her appearing on the top of the mountain out of thin air, the receiving disciple closest to her stopped chanting, raised his eyes and asked.
Yun Qing nodded, lowered her voice and said, "Exactly, this junior was in a difficult situation, and fortunately a female disciple from the Temple of Heaven helped me."
The face of the receiving disciple looked very gentle in the setting sun, always with a faint smile, looking compassionate and indifferent. He nodded and said, "Amitabha, the donor must have planted the cause before, and this result is the result."
He didn't mention the matter of taking Yunqing into the door, he just talked about it casually.
Yun Qing's deepest impression on Buddhist disciples is that they are especially able to speak, so she patiently said: "Master's words are wrong, how do you know that she didn't plant the cause this time, and wants me to bear the fruit of this in the future?"
"Cause and effect are not absolute. Everything can be both a cause and an effect. The cause planted by that female disciple may not be the result of another thing." He fiddled with the beads one by one, and lowered his eyebrows again. Converging eyes.
Yun Qing was startled, not knowing how to refute. The leading disciple might not have believed what she said, but was probably talking about Buddhism with her, testing her understanding, and observing her mind.
At this time, a long bell sounded from nowhere, and the deep and heavy sound trembled on the top of the cold mountain, pressing down on 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 bell and sat down cross-legged, quietly. The receiving disciple glanced at her with approval in his eyes.
On the top of the mountain, the strong wind is blowing, the branches and leaves are leaning towards each other, and the sound of rustling can be heard endlessly.
The bells of the ancient temple pierced through the severe wind, and every time the bell trembled, some dust would be dispersed in the heart, and a little more enlightenment would be gained.
After sitting for a while, she didn't speak until the setting sun shone on Yun Qing's face from the receiving disciple.
"Everything in the world is empty in the blink of an eye, and so is cause and effect. There is no cause and no effect in the world, and the heart can't escape the worldly desires, so it binds itself in a cocoon and insists that it is connected by cause and effect."
The hand that led the disciple to stop turning the beads stood up and said indifferently: "Well said, just follow me."
Yun Qing stood up with him, her expression was peaceful, without any disturbance.
The guiding disciple was holding a Buddhist bead in one hand and a Zen staff in the other. This staff was made of bamboo reeds and looked very simple, but Yun Qing could feel the restrained and vast Buddha power emanating from it. He walked to the edge of the cliff, bowed down, and split the Zen staff against the stone wall, and the fragile bamboo reed pierced into the frozen rock. He jumped down, and the whole person was suspended in the sky by a bamboo reed Zen staff. above the sky.
Yun Qing understood that the second test had begun.
A little novice monk standing by the side handed her a similar bamboo reed Zen staff, clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the donor will do according to his ability."
Yun Qing was holding the Zen stick, and was about to use the Xuanyuan Huayu technique, but immediately realized that the disciple who was leading the disciple just now clearly hadn't used any spells. She weighed the Zen stick in her hand, it was neither light nor heavy, and the pointed end was still wrapped with cloth, it was impossible to penetrate the hard stone wall without relying on spells.
So how do you guide disciples
Yun Qing carefully recalled some Buddhist and Taoist classics that he had seen at the Lutian Temple. This kind of Zen staff seems not to be a weapon for fighting, but a tool for vigilance when sitting in meditation. The master often uses this Zen stick to lightly wake up those disciples who have gone astray or have lost their minds.
Wait, Vigilance Tool!
Yun Qing vaguely guessed, imitating the way she received her disciples, she put the Zen staff against the stone wall, and used the bamboo reed Zen staff as a medium to feel the resonance of her own true energy and the earth. The aura dissipated in the heaven and earth drifted between the Zen staff and the stone wall, Yun Qing tried to fit the true energy with nature, and circulated slowly until it was no longer separated from the earth. She didn't use any force in her hand, the stone wall seemed to split itself, engulfing the bamboo reed Zen stick bit by bit and clenched it tightly.
A tool of vigilance, using the technique of enlightenment to turn the inanimate into animate.
Yun Qing saw that the Zen stick was tied securely, so she also jumped down, holding the Zen stick with her uninjured arm, and hanging in the sky with the guiding disciple.
"Very good, let's go." The guiding disciple pulled out the Zen stick, and the whole person slid down about ten feet, and then quickly inserted the Zen stick back, stabilizing the body, repeating this, and soon distanced himself from Yun Qing.
"Our temple is built in the air halfway up the mountain. The road is quite long, so be careful." The slightly lower voice was not blown away by the mountain wind, and it clearly reached Yunqing's ears.
Yun Qing's physical strength is a little weak, if he fails to react for a while and breaks the bamboo reed Zen staff, then there is really no way out.
She carefully pulled out the Zen stick, but the strong wind blew when she was sliding down, so she had to stick the Zen stick back again. This kind of pumping and sending away wastes much more physical energy than that of receiving and guiding disciples.
Yun Qing gritted her teeth and froze on the spot, tried her best to calm down, felt the direction of the wind with concentration, took advantage of the moment of peace and quickly slid down a dozen feet, and then tried to send the bamboo reed Zen staff back, but it was difficult for her to fully breathe while moving like this. The fluctuations close to the ground continued to exceed twenty feet before she managed to stop herself from falling.
Because the falling distance was too great, the burden on her arms was huge when she stopped, and Yun Qing felt that both hands were terribly painful. She lowered her head, and with a sweep of her mind, the guiding disciple was already indistinct in the sea of clouds.
From the very beginning of the debate on Buddhism, to the suggestion of enlightenment, and now to the extremely dangerous downhill road, Yunqing's qualifications for inheriting the Buddhist inheritance, his understanding of Buddhist allusions, as well as his perseverance and perseverance were examined in turn.
The inheritance of the Holy Land has seen the journey of Taoism more thoroughly than anyone else, and after doing so three times, it is telling Yun Qing that if there is no perseverance, then no matter how good understanding and qualifications are, it will be useless.
Yunqing 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 was cracked again, and she didn't even dare to use her true energy to make a slight adjustment, for fear that she would break the bamboo reed Zen stick with a casual movement.
As soon as the blood came out, it was blown by the wind and solidified, sticking to the sacrificial clothes, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to the body.
Yun Qing shifted her attention from the wound to the bamboo reed Zen stick, concentrating on it. She pulled out the Zen stick vigorously again, this time it was better than before, and it stopped after falling about ten feet. She breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized her body in the wind, and continued to adjust her true energy.
When the wind was small, he followed the previous practice and repeated this. He became more and more proficient in controlling his true qi, but his strength became more and more difficult to sustain.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Qing almost felt that his hands were going to lose consciousness, and the voice of the disciple who was guiding him came from his ear.
"It's here, please come down."
Yun Qing let out all the strength in her hands, fell from the top, and took a few steps back in embarrassment before standing still.
The mammoth building in front of me is harmoniously embedded in the mountain, using hard rocks to support the beams and columns, and the corridors between the towers and pavilions are connected, half of which are hidden in the stone walls, and half of them are exposed. Relying on the mountain, these palaces and pavilions continuously surround the entire snow mountain, twists and turns, and are extremely steep. It is connected to the cliff at the top, connected to the deep valley at the bottom, with the snow-capped mountains on its back and the grassland facing it.
This is Guiling Temple.
