Modern Immortality: My Gain Takes Effect A Hundred Times

Zhao Wumian followed Taoist Kongtian and soon began to explore Xuandu Temple.

When Zhao Wumian stood in front of the steps of the Taoist temple, Zhao Wumian was shocked by the magnificence of this large building.

The stairs are wide and tall, paved with granite, leading to the gate of the Taoist temple.

On both sides of these stairs are rows of mighty lanterns, which contrast with the yellow wall tiles, making them even more simple and elegant.

There are also some words written with pen and ink on the lanterns.

Zhao Wumian connected them together to form a famous saying by Lao Tzu.

"See Su Baopu."

"Be less selfish."

“There is no need to worry about learning.

Zhao Wumian lamented the strong atmosphere of Xuandu Temple.

Zhao Wumian then walked forward. In front of him was the calf-high threshold of the Taoist temple.

This threshold is carved from two large bluestones, with images of auspicious clouds and cranes carved on them, implying the artistic conception of transcendence and unity of nature and man advocated by Taoism.

When Zhao Wumian crossed this threshold, he immediately felt that he had entered a sacred space.

When Zhao Wumian crossed the high threshold and entered the Taoist temple.

The first thing that greets Zhao Wumian is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The cigarette smoke lingering inside the Taoist temple is in sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the outside world, as if you have entered an isolated fairyland.

The buildings in the Taoist temple are well-proportioned and rigorously laid out.

Across the threshold is a huge screen wall.

The walls of the screen are carved with some profound and philosophical patterns or stories, such as "Taiqing preaches", "Taiqing accepts disciples", "Xuandu saves the world", etc. These patterns or stories not only beautify the appearance of the screen, but also It embodies the connotation of Xuanduguan culture.

In addition to its decorative function, the screen wall also has the function of guiding airflow.

Zhao Wumian could feel that inspiration from heaven and earth were pouring towards Zhaobi.

In Feng Shui, air flow is regarded as a very important element, and the screen wall can guide the air flow into the Taoist temple and make the air flow unimpeded, which can increase the vitality and aura in the Taoist temple.

Zhao Wumian walked around the screen wall, and then there was a long corridor. This Taoist temple was indeed too big, and it would probably not be difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Zhao Wumian began to walk around the Taoist temple and was gradually attracted by the surrounding scenery.

The garden is lined with green trees, small bridges and flowing water, making people feel relaxed and happy.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of 980 bells and drums in the Taoist temple. These sounds are intertwined with the sounds of natural wind and water to form a beautiful symphony.

In this environment, Zhao Wumian felt a kind of tranquility and calmness that was detached from the world and aloof from the world.

Zhao Wumian unconsciously stepped lightly and put down his impatience to show respect for the Taoist sages.

Everyone will feel a kind of spiritual purification here, as if all worries and worries are left behind.

In general, entering Xuandu Taoist Temple is like entering an isolated fairyland. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere makes people slow down unconsciously and immerse themselves in this mysterious and sacred atmosphere.

Walking through the garden, both sides of the corridor turned into dense trees and green lawns, as well as small and exquisite pavilions.

These buildings are well-proportioned and blend into the surrounding scenery.

Walking on the corridor, Zhao Wumian was surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, as if he was in an isolated fairyland.

While Zhao Wumian was walking, he also saw many fonts on the ground, which turned out to be a kind of exercise.

"If you hold on to it and make it full, it won't be as good as it was. If you hold on to it and keep it sharp, you won't be able to keep it for a long time."

This is a method of nourishing qi created based on this. Zhao Wumian plans to try it soon.

Just from the written description, we can tell that it is a top secret skill. It seems that this Xuandu Temple is really a treasure.

The core philosophy of Master Xuandu can be summarized as "Tao follows nature, and nature and man are one."

First of all, Master Xuandu believes that "Tao follows nature", that is, everything in the universe has its own natural laws and is not subject to interference or dominance by any external factors.

This concept emphasizes respecting nature, complying with nature, and opposing human intervention and destruction.

It can greatly increase your own personal internal circulation to achieve health-preserving effects.

This technique is Zhao Wumian's favorite.

Secondly, Master Xuandu advocates the "unity of nature and man", that is, the harmonious unity of man and nature.

He believes that human beings should comply with the laws of nature, live in harmony with nature, and achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature." In this realm, man and nature are interdependent and connected with each other, achieving an organic whole of symbiosis and common prosperity.

At the same time, Master Xuandu also emphasized the connection between individuals and the universe, advocating that people should gradually realize the way of nature through practice and enlightenment, and make their thoughts and behaviors consistent with the laws of nature, so as to breathe with the heaven and earth and share the fate of all things. realm.

"It seems that it will also help my innate body to some extent."

The further Zhao Wumian walked, the more notes there were on the ground, and his understanding of this technique became deeper.

In practice, Master Xuandu emphasizes that practitioners should pay attention to inner cultivation and practice, and use meditation methods, such as sitting and forgetting, refining Qi, and nourishing the mind, to coordinate their body and mind with each other to achieve inner peace and unity with the Tao. . At the same time, he also advocates that people adhere to the idea of ​​"governing by doing nothing", that is, not being persistent or deliberate in daily life, and facing various problems in life with a natural and peaceful attitude, so as to achieve harmony and stability of individuals and society.

After Zhao Wumian read the last part, he finally passed the long corridor and came to the largest hall in the Taoist temple.

What comes into view is a wide marble courtyard.

On both sides of the courtyard are towering colonnades, which are carved with exquisite patterns and characters, giving people a sense of the ancient Taoist culture.

Passing through the colonnade, there is a tall and majestic hall, with wide gardens on both sides of the hall, making the originally dead hall suddenly come alive.

The garden is lined with green trees, small bridges and flowing water, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

There are some pavilions in the garden where you can rest and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

In addition, there are many small buildings in the garden, such as bell towers, drum towers, quiet rooms, etc. Each of these buildings has its own characteristics, but they all give people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

There are many murals and inscriptions on the walls, which record the history and culture of Taoism. In addition, there are many historical sites and cultural relics in the Taoist temple, such as ancient inscriptions, stone carvings, etc. These cultural relics record the long history and rich heritage of the Taoist temple.

This main hall is the core of the entire Taoist temple and is also the place where Taoist gods are worshipped.

The roof of the main hall is paved with glazed tiles, which shines in the sunlight.

The door of the main hall is a heavy wooden door inlaid with exquisite wood carvings and golden copper nails, which looks solemn and sacred.

Taoist Kongtian kept walking silently and did not speak, just to leave time for Zhao Wumian to experience the foundation of Xuandu Temple. Entering the main hall, Zhao Wumian saw a magnificent scene.

The hall was brightly lit, and various offerings were neatly placed on the altar table, including fresh fruits, fine wine, and various pastries.

Some simple Taoist murals and scriptures are hung on the walls of the main hall. These paintings and scriptures are made of gold lacquer and colored paintings, which made Zhao Wumian feel the long history and cultural heritage of Xuandu Temple.

In the deepest part of the hall, the Taoist statues of the Three Purities are enshrined, among which the statue of Taiqing is the most eye-catching.

This statue is five feet high and carved from precious jade and white marble. It exudes a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

The statue of Taiqing is depicted as an elderly man with long beard and white hair and a smiling face. He wears a large Taoist robe with complex cloud patterns carved on it, which is full of fluidity.

His eyes are deep and bright, as if he can understand the essence of everything in the world. And his slightly pursed lips seemed to be telling ancient Taoist wisdom.

The base of the statue is a huge piece of white marble, with patterns of auspicious clouds and cranes carved on it, symbolizing longevity and good luck.

In front of the base is an incense table.

The incense table is carved from bluestone, with Taoist runes and scriptures engraved on the surface, making it look very delicate.

There are incense burners, candlesticks and offerings on the incense table. The offerings include fresh fruits, fine wine and various pastries.

These offerings are placed neatly and orderly, exuding a faint fragrance, filling the entire space with a mysterious and sacred atmosphere.

In front of the statue, there are rows of candlesticks and incense burners for believers to offer incense and worship.

Whenever someone comes, they will offer a stick of incense in front of the statue of Taiqing to express their respect and gratitude to this ancient wise man.

But even if Taoist Kongtian didn't say anything, Zhao Wumian could roughly understand that few people would come here.

The layout of Taiqing statues and incense tables is very particular. They not only convey the sacredness and wisdom of Taoism, but also express people's awe of nature and the universe.

In this environment, Zhao Wumian can feel a kind of tranquility and calmness that transcends the world and lives in harmony with nature.

Under the statue of Sanqing is the statue of the main altar here, Master Xuandu.

The statue of Master Xuandu occupies an important position in Xuandu Temple. It is the spiritual symbol of the entire Taoist temple.

This statue is about seven feet high, cast in bronze, with a simple shape and a solemn expression.

The statue of Master Xuandu is very exquisite in details.

He wears a lotus crown on his head, which symbolizes wisdom and purity. His face was warm and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was observing everything in the world in his thoughts.

His nose is straight, his lips are slightly raised, and he has a kind smile, which makes people feel warm and peaceful.

The Archmage wears a large Taoist robe, with the hem hanging gently and full of fluidity.

The color of the Taoist robe is classic black, which is a deep black with red, yellow, blue and other colors, symbolizing the endless changes in the universe and the vitality of life.

He held an open scripture in his hand. The scripture was made of jade and engraved with scriptures from the Tao Te Ching, which represented the great master's profound knowledge and wisdom.

Behind him is a huge Bagua diagram, which is one of the symbols of Taoism.

The Bagua diagram is composed of yin and yang fish and eight hexagrams, which represents the changes in the universe, the mutual regeneration of yin and yang and other principles.

This Bagua diagram seems to unfold from the side of the Archmage, forming a mysterious visual effect.

The base of the statue is a huge bluestone carved with patterns of auspicious clouds and cranes, symbolizing longevity and good luck. On the front of the base, there are five characters "Master Xuandu" engraved in simple and elegant handwriting, which complements the style of the entire statue.

In general, the statue of Master Xuandu not only shows his solemn and wise image, but also reflects his profound knowledge and wisdom.

This statue is a cultural heritage rich in artistic value and a perfect representation of the spiritual core of Xuandu Temple.

Zhao Wumian followed Taoist Kongtian and came to these solemn statues.

What Zhao Wumian saw was a tall incense burner, with spices burning inside and incense curling up.

This is probably the so-called Bagua furnace, Zhao Wumian thought.

The process of offering incense is a traditional and solemn etiquette. Zhao Wumian gently arranged his clothes to show respect.

Common spices include agarwood, sandalwood, mugwort, etc., which can be selected according to different sacrificial occasions and purposes.

Incense tools include incense burners, incense plates and incense inserts. Choosing the right incense tools can

to better demonstrate piety.

But since Zhao Wumian is a guest, these Kongtian Taoists naturally bring their own, and Zhao Wumian only needs to be responsible for lighting the incense.

Taoist Kongtian lifted his finger, and the spices were instantly ignited.

After lighting the incense, Kongtian Taoist waits for a while to allow the incense to burn fully to avoid extinguishing or producing smoke.

Then he gently handed it to Zhao Wumian.

Zhao Wumian was particularly interested when he looked at Kongtian Taoist's method of igniting fire in the void. This can be regarded as a small magic.

Zhao Wumian took the incense handed over by Taoist Kongtian, came to the incense burner respectfully, and inserted the lit spices into the incense burner.

After inserting the incense, Zhao Wumian gently tapped the edge of the incense burner to let the incense burn more fully.

Then a scene similar to what happened in Xuanxu Temple happened. Several sticks of incense in front of him burned quickly, and then the cigarettes flew into the air.

The cigarettes were placed among several statues of gods. After some back and forth, they were equally divided into four parts.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Kongtian was dumbfounded for a moment, and lost the demeanor of a Taoist master during his lifetime.

"What on earth is going on? Is it possible that even the Patriarch is very fond of this boy?"

Taoist Kongtian has only heard that there was a powerful man named Patriarch Chen Tuan who received such treatment, and Xiang was definitely not so fast.

After the incense burning, Zhao Wumian came to the futon and was about to kowtow to show respect.

As a result, the futon in front of him exploded under the pressure, and the incense in the air stagnated for an instant.

Zhao Wumian stood up in confusion, and Kong Tian next to him understood.

"Let's try bowing instead.

Taoist Kongtian felt that he should look at it in another way. If he could, then his guess would be clear. .
