Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Speaking of Shuanglong Temple, we have to start with Dayong in the previous dynasty.

At that time, there was neither Chengye River nor Kemaoyan City;

Even Fengchao County is nothing more than a small village with earthen walls.

At that time, Shuanglong Temple had not been renamed, and it was called Charity Hall.It is said that the wealthy households in the county raised funds to enshrine it. In order to enjoy the longevity merit tablet (survival card), there are only three rooms with mud walls and black tiles. The incense is bleak and no one cares about it.

One day, an eminent monk suddenly passed by and saw the people of Dongyu River holding a red sacrifice for human sacrifices, praying for rain and peace, and was very angry. Fly away.

Since that day, the backyard of the Charity Hall has been gushing incessantly, flowing along the depressions, and thus becoming the Chengye River;

It also irrigated tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, as well as the two cities of Yan and Kemao.

Thanks to the kindness of the eminent monk Fulong, the charity hall was renamed: Shuanglong Temple, implying not to forget the eminent monk's advice, and wishing to guard the water purification vase for generations.

In the Sutra Pavilion of Shuanglong Temple, there are still several volumes of Donghe local chronicles "Yong History Draft", in which it is impressively written:

——There is a river dragon in Dongyu, which can make people rich and keep the year safe. At the age of three, there is a big alliance. Each village and each village will lead a boy and a boy to worship the God of Qiu. They will eat at various altars at night, and use people, horses, cattle and donkeys as animals.

Hearing the few words in the history books, Mo Chuan felt chills in his heart.

Human nature is really selfish.

When Ssangyong met him, although he frankly confessed his guilt, he avoided the seriousness and dismissed the seriousness. He only talked about dereliction of duty without mentioning the Dahong Sacrifice, which can be described as extremely sophistry.

"May I ask the mage, is this eminent monk Fulong's name up and down? What sect and sect is he from?"

After Mo Chuan listened, he sighed and inquired about the background of the monk Fulong's dharma name.

"To tell you the truth, fellow Taoists, the Charity Hall saw the eminent monk Fulong coming, and he was already terrified. He didn't ask for his name until the eminent monk left. This has made Shuanglong Temple regretful to this day."

Master Shenquan shook his head and sighed.

"Pity!"

Mo Chuan echoed and sighed: "The treasure vase is discarded as soon as it is said, and the eminent monk Fulong is really a living Buddha!"

"Amitabha, eminent monk Fulong is compassionate and compassionate, and his merits and virtues are naturally extraordinary! Speaking of which, Shoushan can have Shoushan Town because of the kind deeds of eminent monk Fulong, but it's a pity..."

Master Shenquan said, showing a bit of regret.

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, Shoushan Town will soon cease to prosper."

"how do I say this?"

"Double Dragon is dead."

After the sound fell, Mo Chuan's eyes widened in astonishment: "Dead?"

"The monks don't tell lies. Shuanglong died violently more than ten days ago, and the dragon's corpse and dragon pill can be vaguely seen in the well. Now that the water is dry in Chengye, and spring plowing is imminent, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land may be destroyed. , I am afraid that it will not escape the fate of decline.”

There was a hint of sadness in Master Shenquan's eyes: "Today, the poor monk came here for this purpose, and now only fellow Taoists can save tens of millions of people on both sides of the Chengye River."

Mo Chuan's eyes flickered: "Master's words are serious. The poor Taoist is just a wandering Taoist priest. He lives between heaven and earth. It's okay to save a few people. How dare he take tens of millions of lives?"

Master Shenquan said: "My fellow Taoist's words are wrong. The poor monk heard that fellow Taoist has a technique called drinking water. This technique may solve the drought in Ye!"

Mo Chuan was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes showed vigilance: "Master, is this poor Taoist going to take over the post of Shuanglong?"

"The responsibility of guarding the river lies with Ssangyong. How dare you bother fellow Taoists? This poor monk is here to ask for advice!"

Before Mo Chuan could reply, Master Shenquan said again:
"After the eminent monk Fulong put down the water purification vase, he once said that 'the peng rises from the southern underworld and turns into a kun', that is when he comes to Shuanglong Temple again. Come back, there will be good news."

"Of course, the technique of earth evil is extremely precious. The poor monk dare not force it. He is willing to use "The Law of No Coming and No Going" to seek the wonderful method! I am willing to give up the relics, and I am willing to give up the relics, and ask for divine magic, and I hope that fellow Taoists will agree!"

As he spoke, Master Shenquan formed a lotus seal with both hands, and a relic that was as bright as a grain of rice floated out from his fingertips, with a faint light, like a firefly.

Seeing this, Mo Chuan was in a daze.

The relics have always been transformed from the remains of eminent monks;
A very small number of eminent monks can relict part of their bodies during their lifetime, such as hair relics, claw relics, and tooth relics.

But he seldom heard of any eminent monk who could raise Italian relics!

It is rumored that this is the moment when the wisdom of the eminent monk's Dharma is condensed, which is similar to the sudden enlightenment of Taoism.

"May I ask the mage, what does the eminent monk Fulong mean by 'Peng rises from Nanming and turns into a kun'?"

Mo Chuan was shocked, but asked quietly about the motto left by the eminent monk Fulong.

Master Shenquan put away the relics, and said calmly: "What the eminent monk Fulong said, Shuanglong Temple has been enlightened for thousands of years, and it has never been broken. However, combining some rumors, there is a little bit of gain. However, what Shuanglong Temple did is after all a gnat. Watching the sky, don’t believe it all, fellow Taoists still want to listen?”

Mo Chuan was shocked, and asked quickly: "I would like to hear the details."

Master Shenquan: "The poor monk heard that thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not been completely exhausted. At that time, the monks directly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, so they were called Qi refiners."

"However, the Dao is impermanent. I don't know why the sky and the earth changed suddenly. The spiritual energy was exhausted, and the qi refiners disappeared from the world. There is a Taoist saying: do it when you get the right time, and hide when you don't have the right time. Therefore, Shuanglong Temple believes that these qi refiners may Hiding between the gaps between heaven and earth, waiting for the wind and cloud."

Master Shenquan paused, and said again:

"Zhuangzi has a saying that there is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun. Kun turns into a bird, flies into the sky in anger, and migrates to Nanming. The change of Kun and Peng is also the change of four seasons! Darkness is also darkness! Shuanglong Temple believes that Fulong's eminent monk It should be used as a metaphor for the changes in the world.” [Note 1]

Mo Chuan's heart trembled when he heard the words, and his heart swayed.

How strong is the energy density of this practice if you directly swallow the spiritual energy?

This is equivalent to pointing directly at the origin of the Dao?

If the eminent monk Fulong was a Qi refiner, then it would be understandable to throw down the water purification bottle casually.

——Perhaps, the extremely precious spirit weapon for him is completely available to the eminent monk Fulong, so naturally he will not cherish it!
In other words, is this the fundamental reason why there are endless myths in the world, and there are people who have incense, but they have never been seen?

"Does the sorcerer have evidence for the Qi refiner's theory?" Mo Chuan asked.

"Shi Haigoushen, how can the poor monk have any evidence? There are some isolated ancient books, with a few sporadic records. Both Buddhism and Taoism believe that this is a change of nouns. To prevent moths from rotting, most of the existing ancient books of Buddhism and Taoism are also copied several times. The origin has long been lost. According to the observation of the poor monk, all the ancient books that record Qi refiners have a history of thousands of years, so whether this is a name change or someone secretly concealing it, the poor monk cannot be sure."

Master Shenquan shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

There was something he didn't say.

The Department of Merit and Virtue once invited him to an important position and promised to open the Buddhist scripture pavilion in the inner court.

However, this was rejected by him.

The reason is unclear. In his opinion, the Department of Merit and Virtue has forgotten "virtue", leaving only the word "merit".

"Didn't the mage ask about the twin dragons in the temple?"

Mo Chuan asked, subconsciously thinking of Fei Niu, its sealing time is not short, maybe it knows something?
[Note 1, the change of the Kunpeng in Zhuang Zhou's "Xiaoyaoyou", there is an interpretation that the Kunpeng is not a change of a mythical beast, but an allusion to the universe of celestial phenomena, and only celestial phenomena can use the magnificent sentence pattern of thousands of miles!Some people think that this is a description of the ancient "Xuan Ye Shuo".If you are interested, you can look for information by yourself, which is very similar to the modern view of the universe. 】
