Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 223 Ancestral Court
Maoshan.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can see a rooftop palace standing in the mist and rain.

The ancestral palace was first built in the Western Han Dynasty after San Mao Zhenjun achieved enlightenment and ascended to the throne. In the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, there were rewards and titles in all dynasties. In the 26th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, another palace was built and named Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace. It was located at the highest point. Also known as:
The top palace.

Although Meng Fan has not entered yet and has never been here before, he heard from his master that Wanfu Palace is located in the north and faces south. There are two pavilions in the palace for the Buddhist scriptures and the Holy Master; and the five halls of Taiyuan, Gaozhen, Ersheng, Lingguan and Dragon King. There are six Taoist courtyards: Yuxiang, Raoxiu, Qiayun, Zhongbi, Lizhen and Yihu; there are more than a hundred couplets of Taoist houses, guest halls and other buildings on the left and right sides.

The whole palace view can be described as majestic and magnificent.

In fact, in ancient times, when building a house, one must pay attention to the order of respect and inferiority. Otherwise, it would be trespassing, which could lead to punishment and exile at the slightest, and death if the punishment is serious.

Only Taoist temples and monk temples are not subject to restrictions and can be built according to the specifications of royal palaces or even royal palaces. Many princes and princes in the Tang Dynasty donated their own courtyards from time to time to become associated with Taoism.

……

evening.

The icy rain didn't stop.

The ancestral court was shrouded in darkness.

"Senior Brother Qianhe."

"Senior Brother Qianhe."

All the Taoists came forward to pay homage.

Right now, Uncle Jiu and Uncle Simu have not yet gone up the mountain, and the people in charge of practicing the overall situation are the uncles holding the sword and the flag. When the master came back, they found the backbone in an instant.

"Ah."

Qianhe's temper was slightly cold, he nodded, and said straight to the point: "I won't leave from now on."

"Good thing!"

"Happy event!"

All the teachers and uncles looked happy.

Ever since Shi Jian was executed, there has been no master in the world in Maoshan. Although he is not afraid of evil spirits and heretics coming to attack him, he still feels uneasy.

Now, Qianzhe, who has a great reputation in his sect and has made a name for himself, has returned, accompanied by a disciple who seems to be born to practice Taoism. This time, there is no need to worry at all.

I'm just waiting for the second senior brother Lin Jiu and the third senior brother Si Mu to come back and invite their colleagues from all over the world to hold a grand ceremony!

"This time the royal zombies are escorted back to Beijing. The Qing royal family welcomed back the jade target given by Xuanhe."

Saying that, Qianzhe looked at his apprentice.

Meng Fan understood immediately and took this mountain-holding treasure. In order to express his solemn heart, the Bagua array appeared and immediately blocked out the rain.

"Really, are you really back?"

"Double happiness is coming!"

Since Uncle Four Eyes knew about this matter and was closely involved, he had to inform the ancestral court. If the old people from the Qing Dynasty planned to break the contract, they could only take special measures as a retaliation.

However, with the ghostly idea of ​​wooing Maoshan over there, the handover went smoothly.

This group of people never expected that Meng Fan and others would choose to leave the capital quickly...

Soon.

The Maoshan disciples gathered together and invited the jade target back to the main hall to be enshrined.

Walking in the palace, Meng Fan felt as if he had returned home. It was much more comfortable than staying in a Manchu palace. He carefully looked at what he saw.

The first time you enter is Lingguan Hall. The plaque reads:

Granted to Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace

On both sides were written eight characters with ethereal charm:
Taoism lasts forever
Longevity
Among them, the Taoist protector god Wang Lingguan is enshrined.

This person is so popular among the people that even if Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West", which described Sun Wukong causing havoc in the heavenly palace and the gods being "trembling with fear" and "in a state of embarrassment", they would not dare to attack the king's spiritual official. 【This time, the Monkey King made no distinction between the top and the bottom, and used the iron stick to hit the enemy in the east and the west, and there was no one who could stop it.They only hit Tongming Hall and outside Lingxiao Hall.Fortunately, Wang Lingguan, the assistant envoy of the Holy Lord Yousheng, is in charge of the palace.

He saw the great sage standing in front of him, and drew a golden whip to block him: "Where are the monkeys going! As long as I am here, don't be arrogant!" The great sage couldn't help but raise his stick and hit him, and the spiritual official raised his whip to greet him.The two were hanging out in front of Lingxiao Palace. 】

Because of this, Meng Fan respectfully offered incense.

The second entrance is the sutra collection building, treasure house, Kanli palace, clear pool and other buildings.

The third entrance is the main building of the entire palace, called Taiyuan Hall, which enshrines the holy statue of Sanmao Zhenjun, accompanied by the statues of the fourth-level meritorious officials on the left and right.

Under the leadership of Master, Meng Fan bowed down and bowed.

Then, go to the Shengbiao Platform and the Second Holy Temple to worship. The former is the place where the ancestor ascended, and the latter is where Maoshan people of all generations worshiped the Talisman Shengbiao. It is located at the top of Maoshan Mountain. There is a three-day gate stone square on the platform.

Immortal music fills the sky, wishing one person happiness; incense from the sky attracts five cranes, praying for the same spring from all over the world.

Cuixian held the true energy of Huayang in Xiantai, and the mysterious wind on Danya's palace and river.

Lines of ancient carvings seem to tell the story of Maoshan’s past glory.

After being busy until late at night, Meng Fan finished offering incense to the ancestors of all generations, and then went to eat and rest after getting to know the distribution of the major buildings in the ancestral court.

Due to the age of the Dharma End, cultivation has become difficult and fewer and fewer people have entered Taoism. Therefore, many Taoist temples are in a state of ownerlessness.

With the approval of his master and the support of his uncles, Meng Fan took charge of one of them:
Holding the cloud view.

For a long time to come, he will practice in this thousand-year-old Taoist temple.

The floor is paved with bluestone, grass and trees.

Among them, there is an old pine, which is the memory of generations of Maoshan people. The tree is 800 years old.

"There is no messy ears like silk and bamboo, and there is no hard work like copywriting."

Outside the corridor, icy rain fell in patter, gathering into strands and sliding down the beast's spine.

Meng Fan sighed with emotion, then put down the vegetarian food in his hand and began to meditate.

For him, this experience of temporarily letting go of his fetters and studying the great path wholeheartedly was really the first time, so he was full of expectations.

The night passed in a flash.

The icy rain slowed down the momentum and turned into snowflakes. Meng Fan, who had finished his training, could not find anything to do, because he had either been fighting demons or preparing to fight demons, and he had not experienced true leisure for a long time. .

But life in Maoshan is like this, quiet and inactive.

Do morning classes - enjoy the scenery - do evening classes - meditate and practice -

On the way, I might visit the master and four junior disciples who live in another Taoist temple on the mountain, or communicate with other junior disciples.

As the saying goes: There are specializations in the art industry.

Many elders have been studying a certain discipline all year round, such as swordsmanship and formations, which are very worth learning and communicating with.

As time passed, Meng Fan became very interested in alchemy, but found that no one in his sect had embarked on this path and could not find a guide.

In desperation, he plunged into the Sutra Pavilion.

This place is not far from Baoyun Temple. If you walk normally, you will arrive in about a quarter of an hour.

And there is indeed an elder guarding it. His beard and hair are all white, and his body is not stained by the slightest trace of mortal air. He looks like he will become an immortal at any time.

Obviously, one does not know how high one's seniority is, but Meng Fan didn't open his mouth to ask, because Taoism doesn't ask about longevity, so it seemed that he was very uneducated.

After bowing respectfully to his elders, he quickly walked into the attic and began to look for various classics.

Stone carvings of the Western Han Dynasty, bamboo slips of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, scrolls of the Tang and Song Dynasties...the materials carrying the text are different, but the content is fascinating. For several days in a row, the junior brother responsible for delivering meals to Baoyun Temple has not seen Meng Fan.
