Saint Immortal Way

The Taidao Sacred Temple in Molingfu is the largest holy temple in Huangzhou. The temple has a history of 400 years. It was built after the Taidao sage ascended to the throne, and it took more than ten years to complete.

Moling was the place where Taizu lived when he was a child, and Luqiu was where the capital of the Yin Ruins Dynasty was located at that time.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by. Although the old affairs of the previous dynasty have been blown away by the rain and the wind, Luqiu and Moling, as the prosperous old places of the previous dynasty, always have extraordinary significance to Emperor Da Kuang Taizu. Taizu Emperor Xia Before Ju Feisheng, he still couldn't forget these two old places.

In order to commemorate the Taizu Emperor Yang Yiren, the Emperor Taizong Yang Jiye of the Great Kuang Dynasty visited the Great Treasure, and the first imperial decree was to build the Taidao Temple in the old site of Moling. At that time, 11 craftsmen were employed. months to complete.

The Taidao Temple in Moling Mansion is extremely luxurious, with walls made of marble, railings made of white marble, floors paved with gold bricks, roads bounded by golden ropes, and tiles made of glazed tiles. There are a total of twelve levels of palaces, large and small, and each level is divided into a main hall and a side hall on the left and right, majestic and majestic.

The twelve-fold main hall is said to correspond to the twelve palaces of the zodiac, and in the center of each main hall stands a large bronze tripod filled with incense.

A 20-meter-wide stone step leads directly from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, passing through the twelve-story main hall. The stone steps are lined with pines and cypresses, solemn and solemn, leading to the last hall of the Taidao Temple. The flow of people offering incense is chaotic, just like going to a market.

Lv Yang and Qian Shuai talked, while walking up the neat stone steps paved with marble, passing through many palaces, he found that some pilgrims were holding twelve sticks of incense. Insert a stick of incense into the big cauldron of the incense burner, then kowtow in worship, muttering something in his mouth, either making a wish or fulfilling the wish.

I don't know how many palaces they walked through. Lu Yangshi and Lu Jianjia were too tired to walk. After all, they were women, and they were already tired before they climbed to the Taidao Palace.

"It's really lively..." Lu Jianjia looked around curiously. Lu Yangshi was afraid that she would get lost too much, so he held on to her little hand tightly.

"It's definitely lively. The Taidao Holy Temple is full of incense all the year round. If it's Taidao's birthday, let alone the temple, it will be overcrowded, not to mention the dignitaries, even today's sages will come to worship! "Lu Yang smiled, with indescribable pride in her heart.

Lu Yang naturally knew where the pride of a country girl like his mother came from, and he didn't point it out, thinking that it would be good for a person to have something to be proud of, although this pride is not the same thing in the eyes of others. But as long as you cherish it, it's fine.

"Yang Er, Jian Jia, you guys also go to offer a stick of incense!" Lu Yang said.

"Alright, you don't have to go to the highest place. This is also one of the Twelve Main Halls of the Supreme Dao. Let's burn a stick of incense here first!" Lu Yang's mother smoked three sticks of incense from the bundle prepared by her.

Lu Jianjia also took three gourds according to the drawing of a gourd, then lit the incense head on the incense candle on the incense burner cauldron, bowed respectfully to the incense burner cauldron three times, made a wish in his heart for the safety of the family and his own admission, and then put the three sticks The incense is inserted into the big tripod of the censer.

Lu Jianjia and Lu Yang's parents also offered good incense devoutly, and the family still went to the highest and most important hall of the Taidao Temple, because the highest hall enshrines the icon of the Taidao sage, and they can look up at the saint's demeanor and look around. The magnificent scenery.

"Huh? Why is she here..."

Out of the corner of Lu Yang's eyes, he suddenly saw two white-clothed girls, one big and one small, walking into the palace, and he couldn't help turning his head to look slightly. These two were none other than the teacher's daughters Huang Daoyun and Huang Yiyi.

A pair of sisters entered the palace and immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Yang'er, do you know those two young ladies?" Lu Yang was amazed, and inexplicably rejoiced in her heart, just because Huang Daoyun had a beautiful complexion, dressed in white clothes, spotless, and her slim figure was like a weak willow supporting the wind, The indescribable beauty looks like a holy white lotus from a distance. Such a girl is very eye-catching in the whole hall.

As for Huang Yiyi, she is a bit younger, like her own daughter Lu Jianjia, not yet married, but I guess in three or four years, she will be able to grow into a graceful figure.

There are many officials and courtiers in the palace, and there are many romantic young men, but this is a sacred place that cannot be profaned. Many young good young men can only watch, and none of them dare to strike up a conversation.

Lu Yang shook his head and said helplessly, "Mother, stop thinking about it, these are my teacher's two daughters!"

Lu Yang's complexion suddenly darkened, and he murmured: "It turns out that she is the daughter of Huang Rushi, no wonder, no wonder... the daughter of this scholarly family is not ordinary, look, that little lady is really like the person in the painting, we I don't deserve it..."

Lu Yang felt a little pain in his heart, thinking that her mother is a country person after all, and her knowledge is not high at all. She is afraid that it will be difficult for her to understand her son's arrogance and arrogance. How could he know that in his heart, all living beings in the world are equal, let alone a scholarly family, even if he is a prince, general or minister, Lu Yang would not bow his eyebrows and bend his waist to deliberately curry favor.

Lu Yang sighed in his heart, shook his head and comforted him: "Mother, don't think too much, just be at ease. Besides, in the eyes of my son, family background is never the root that determines whether a person is noble or not. The only essence that determines whether a person is noble or not comes from character and Nobility of soul!"

In Lu Yang's view, the soul dominates the mind. If a person's mind is noble, then his character must be noble, so his soul is also noble. If his soul is noble, then this person is noble.

If a person's heart is corrupt and dirty, then his character must be despicable, and his soul must be corrupt and dirty. Even if this person is an emperor or general, he is not a truly noble person.

The Lu family was thoughtful, while the Lu Yang family looked at Lu Yang suspiciously, feeling a lot more relieved.

"Brother Chunyang, so these are Master Huang Rushi's two daughters, so please go up and introduce them to me!" Qian Lai hurriedly begged Lu Yang.

"Hehe, okay, Brother Qian, introduction is fine, but other things are out of the question..." Lu Yang smiled.

"Naturally, of course, the Qian family probably won't be able to climb up to the Huang family's profound scholarly family, but it's an honor to know the young lady of the Huang family?" Qian Lai laughed.

"Oh, the big villain brother is here too!" Huang Yiyi also saw Lu Yang, quickly let go of his eldest sister's hand, and ran over quickly.

Huang Yiyi was obviously very happy and in a good mood because he was able to come to Moling Mansion. Seeing the family members around Lu Yang, he made a happy smile and said, "Brother, these two are my uncle and aunt, and my niece Huang Yiyi is here to greet you!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the little lady of the Huang family is really smart and well-behaved, she looks really cute..." Lu Yang was a little flustered, but she was very happy, because Huang Yiyi is the daughter of a great scholar, with a noble status, she can be with herself Speaking of which, he seemed decent.

Huang Daoyun didn't want to lose his etiquette, so he came up to pay a blessing to Lu Yang's parents, exchanged greetings, got to know Mr. Qian Lai Qian, and then said to Lu Yang: "It turns out that the younger brother is also here, and we just happened to pay homage to Mrs. Dao sage!"

"Senior sister lives elsewhere in Qingyang, why did you suddenly come to Moling Mansion?" Lu Yang was surprised, when he saw the teacher yesterday, he didn't hear that senior sisters and sisters would come to Moling.

"Hehe, my father is here too. Yesterday afternoon, my father suddenly received a sword talisman letter from the academy, saying that a princess from Yujing has come to our Moling Mansion and wants to practice in Bailongtan Academy, and asked all the Confucian teachers in the academy to return immediately. Academy, so father brought us to Moling!" Huang Daoyun said.

"So that's the case, so the teacher has gone back to the academy?"

"Well, I think I'm already in the academy, Junior Brother, if you have nothing to do, how about we go to the academy together after offering incense and worshiping the Taidao sage!" Huang Daoyun smiled.

"Alright, let's arrange it like this!" Lu Yang quickly agreed, as long as he went to meet Huang Zongxi himself, entering the academy would be just a formality. It is estimated that even the recommendation letter would be exempted, let alone the possibility of being made things difficult.

"His Royal Highness Princess Shouyang arrives, and the idlers give way immediately... Her Royal Highness arrives, and the idlers give way. For those who have no merit, they must bow to His Highness..."

Shouts came from outside the palace, and a group of hundreds of guards in brocade clothes and golden swords, Yulin guards, Xiong Jiu, rushed into the palace with high spirits. Make a way.

The ordinary people, scholars, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen who entered the incense were all frightened by the sudden situation, and there was a clamor. Most of them retreated to the sides, knelt down with their legs, and nodded their heads to the ground.

Lu Kaitai, Lu Yangshi, and Lu Jianjia also hurriedly knelt down with Daliu, very nervous. They have lived their whole lives, where have they seen such a scene?I have never seen those princes and princesses.

A princess, the emperor's daughter unexpectedly came to the Taidao Temple at this time, and she must be offering incense!The imperial authority was strict, which made Lu Yang's family slightly panicked and frightened.

Lu Kaitai and Lu Yangshi turned their heads and found that their son Lu Yang did not kneel down. They were scared out of their wits. Lu Yangshi wanted to pull Lu Yang to kneel down, but Lu Kaitai waved his hand secretly, and Lu Yangshi opened his mouth. The slightly fat body trembled slightly.

Around Lu Yang, except for Huang Daoyun, Huang Yiyi, and Qian Lai, everyone else bowed down. In the whole palace, only seven or eight people were still standing. Those who stood were probably disciples of the holy way with great fame.

Those Golden Saber Habayashi guards in brocade clothes turned a blind eye to those who didn't kneel down, and quickly opened the way in front, while the rest were standing, holding the handle of the knife, watching all directions, listening to all directions, and began to escort.

Huang Daoyun frowned when he saw that Lu Yang didn't kneel down. According to the law of Da Kuang, only those who have meritorious reputation can see officials and not kneel.

The so-called merit is Taoism.Lu Yang is now at the top of the Dao karma of establishing a heart, and it can be regarded as having a Dao karma, which means meritorious service.

The so-called name means that the Taoist industry is registered in the register.There is no such thing for Lu Yang. If he enters the academy and records his name in the academy, he will be considered famous. This name is recognized by the imperial court, otherwise he will be unknown.

Generally speaking, there are people with meritorious deeds who do not pay homage to officials, and imperial officials generally turn a blind eye to such situations, because it is easy to register, but it is difficult to make meritorious deeds.Of course, there are also more serious officials. At that time, it was really killing chickens to make an example to monkeys.

Huang Daoyun didn't know if Lu Yang knew the key to it, his lips moved, and he wanted to remind Lu Yang, but he couldn't utter the words, because he had met Lu Yang twice and met Lu Yang again. Yang wrote the poem, knowing that Lu Yang actually has a kind of arrogance in his bones that others don't know, probably he reminded him that Lu Yang would not kneel down.

At this moment, several big figures have come in one after another outside the palace, and the leader of the person, who looks like a dragon and a phoenix, is Princess Shouyang of the imperial dynasty.She is the No.13 princess of His Majesty the current emperor, and she is bestowed with the Shouyang Palace, and is very much loved by the emperor.
