Chapter 560 The Strange Qingyun Temple, the Steady Zhang Huaiyi

In the early morning, the mist filled the air, shrouding the surroundings like a veil. Zhang Huaiyi stepped on the magical horse and entered Wenxian County.

Walking into the county town, Zhang Huaiyi's neck kept spinning like clockwork. He felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. Everything he saw was new.

With this appearance, no one would have imagined that he was also someone who had been around in the foreign market of Shili City.

At this time, there were already scattered pedestrians on the street, as well as some vendors selling breakfast. Zhang Huaiyi stopped a vendor carrying a burden selling sesame cakes and bought two sesame cakes.

"This donor, I don't know how to get to Qingyun Temple?" Zhang Huaiyi asked while eating a sesame seed cake in his mouth.

Qingyun Temple is very popular in Wenxian County, so the hawker selling sesame cakes naturally knew the location and gave Zhang Huaiyi directions.

Zhang Huaiyi thanked him and went to Qingyun Temple while eating sesame seed cakes.

At the entrance of Qingyun Temple, three Taoist priests, one large, two small, were guarding there, looking around.

It must be them, they seem to have no problem... Zhang Huaiyi put the half-eaten sesame cakes into his pocket, walked up and said:

"You guys have been waiting for a long time!"

"Um?"

Only then did the three Taoist priests discover him.

The middle-aged Taoist priest lowered his head to look at Zhang Huaiyi, who was short and unattractive in appearance, and said with some surprise:

"Is it... a fellow Taoist from the main altar?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Huaiyi made a gesture and introduced himself.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was overjoyed: "Please come here quickly, the master of the temple has been waiting for a long time."

After that, he invited Zhang Huaiyi into the temple. The owner of Qingyun Temple was a thin old Taoist priest with a fluttering beard, an immortal spirit, and a true Taoist look.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a serious Taoist priest... Zhang Huaiyi thought to himself, and hurriedly walked over to greet him, while at the same time looking at the temple owner without leaving any trace.

The viewer is a little thin, but not sickly. His complexion is rosy and shiny, his eyes are clear and not cloudy at all. He only has a few age spots on his side face. When he speaks, his face is kind and calm.

Zhang Huaiyi thought: Master said that the person who attacked the senior brother was suspected to be the demon suppressed by Qingyun Temple. Something might have happened here at Qingyung Temple, but it seems normal now. However, it is too early to draw a conclusion now. Let’s test it out.

Immediately, he proposed to check out the sealing location.

The owner of the temple stopped smiling: "The place where the demons are sealed is in the well in the big house on the side of the Taoist temple. However, this big house was occupied by a new warlord who entered the city not long ago. If you want to enter, you need the consent of the warlord. It is still early. "The warlord hasn't gotten up yet. Let's go again after the sun rises."

Zhang Huaiyi frowned: "Since it is occupied by the warlords, can they let us in?"

"Yes!" The visitor nodded and said, "The warlord attaches great importance to this aspect. Some time ago, he invited many people to watch Feng Shui and perform rituals."

"Speaking of which, the seal was broken by a wandering monk at that time. At that time, we all thought something bad had happened and made the worst plan. But in the end, it was a false alarm and there was nothing underneath the seal. After checking it carefully and making sure that there is nothing unusual, we notified the general forum."

Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi said: "By the way, Master, can the wandering monk still be found?"

The viewer shook his head: "I can't find him. The wandering monk took the reward from the warlord and left. The other party is very sophisticated and his whereabouts are unpredictable. I only know that he claims to be an unintentional person."

"A person without a heart!" Zhang Huaiyi frowned and said, "He should have no place to live but his heart."

"Wuxin, that is, the true mind is free from delusions and has no attachment. It is an extremely profound realm and state in Buddhism."

"I saw from Tao Zang that if you can maintain this state all the time, you are an Arhat, and if you briefly enter the state of mindlessness, it is called 'breaking the body' or 'seeing the nature'. Dare to call this name, this wandering Monk Fang must be something extraordinary."

The master of the temple waved his hand and said: "It's just a name. There are so many people in this world who cheat and steal their names, so it doesn't matter."

The temple owner seemed to have a lot of objections to the wandering monk... Zhang Huaiyi was keenly aware of it, but then he thought about it. Since ancient times, Niubi and Bald Donkey have not been easy to deal with. The other party also broke the ancestral seal of Qingyun Temple. It is normal to have opinions.

Zhang Huaiyi coughed and said: "The temple master is right, it's just a name, it means nothing."

We also have a product named Tiantong!

"By the way, little Gao Gong has come all the way, hasn't he eaten yet?" asked the viewer.

"Just eat some dry food to wrap your belly!" Zhang Huaiyi said.

"We will have morning classes in the monastery soon. After the morning classes, dinner will be served. Please wait a moment, little master!" said the monastery leader.

"It's okay, just don't disturb me!" Zhang Huaiyi said shyly.

But then, he remembered that the purpose of this trip was to find out the situation of Qingyun Temple?

Everyone gathers together in the morning class, and they have to recite Taoist scriptures. There are various rules here that cannot be faked, so why not go in and take a look? !

As soon as he thought about this, Zhang Huaiyi said immediately:

"Master, I wonder if you can allow me to attend your morning class. I haven't been absent since I started teaching. I feel really awkward not attending today."

"It's all right!" the viewer laughed.

Afterwards, the visitor led Zhang Huaiyi towards the main hall where morning classes were held.

The master of Qingyun Temple walked in front, and Zhang Huaiyi followed behind. Neither of them spoke, and only the clatter of footsteps echoed in the corridor.

Zhang Huaiyi pretended to be curious and looked around from time to time. Under the cover of the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe, he held a talisman in his hand.

He is not proficient in talismans. This was given to him by his master, saying that it can detect existences such as monsters and evil spirits.

But along the way, he didn't notice anything strange.

Could it be that the master's estimate was wrong... Zhang Huaiyi put the talisman away without leaving any trace.

"By the way, Xiao Gaogong, how are you doing with the Heavenly Master recently?" the temple leader asked.

"Master, he has always been very good. He is in good health and full of vitality. He doesn't look like an old man at all!" Zhang Huaiyi said.

"That's good, that's good!"

With a smile on his face, Master Qingyun took Zhang Huaiyi to the main hall where morning classes were held.

Although Qingyun Temple is small, the morning class hall is not small. There is a statue of the ancestor Tianshi enshrined in the hall, which can accommodate more than ten people.

Zhang Huaiyi's arrival attracted the attention of some young Taoist priests.

A young Taoist priest who had not yet been ordained tugged at his master's robe and asked in a low voice:

"Master, are we really the same family as the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain?"

"The relationship between the main altar and the branch view," the middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile: "It's like... we have a well-developed relative!"

The little Taoist nodded to express his understanding.

Everything is normal... Zhang Huaiyi thought to himself, and after a few polite words with the Taoist priest inside, the morning class began.

Unlike the morning classes hosted by Zhang Zhiwei on Longhu Mountain, the morning classes at Qingyun Temple are quite formal and orderly.

Bells and drums are connected in three directions, incense is burned, candles are lit, utensils are mingled, incense is offered and water is supplied, and the gods of everlasting purity and tranquility are worshiped.

Tianzun, who is always clear and quiet, does not specifically refer to which Tianzun. "Always clear and always quiet" is the nature of Tao. "Tianzun" is the incarnation of Tao. Its meaning is to praise the Tianzun who is the incarnation of the supreme Tao, and to imitate it in order to achieve harmony with Tao. Theosophy.

After prostrating, the sutras are recited, the contents of which are all fixed, such as "The Divine Mantra for Purifying the Heart", "The Divine Mantra for Purifying the Mouth", "The Divine Mantra for Purifying the Body"... all with a rhythm that sounds like singing and reading.

Everyone recited the sutras, and while reciting the sutras, they entered a state of extreme tranquility and began to practice.

This is the common practice method of Taoism.

Internal cultivation is a difficult thing.

The threshold for a sorcerer's internal cultivation is the bliss of lixi in the third realm of meditation. At this stage, one will encounter many temptations, making it difficult to calm down.

Although the threshold of Taoist practice is not as good as that of a warlock, it only requires the first level, but the calmer the mind, the faster the improvement.

Therefore, in order to practice better, Taoist priests have come up with many rituals to assist in practice.

The various complicated Taoist scriptures in the morning classes, such as the mantra for purifying the mind, the mantra for cleansing the mouth, the mantra for purifying the body, etc., are all designed to help Taoist priests enter concentration better.

This is the ritual of Taoism, an old rule passed down for thousands of years.

Such morning classes are common in Longhu Mountain. Zhang Huaiyi is no stranger. Zhang Zhiwei is only a minority. After all, he does not give lectures often.

After the morning class started, Zhang Huaiyi did not completely enter a state of trance. He kept an eye on his surroundings.

Two hours later, everything was normal, and he didn't find any problems. This made him wonder, was the master worrying too much?

Although he thought so, at the same time, he still had an inexplicable sense of disobedience in his heart.

Everything is obviously fine, but am I preconceptions, am I overthinking it?

Zhang Huaiyi was confused, but at this moment, a flash occurred in his mind, and he suddenly understood the source of the sense of disobedience.

Standard, everything is too standard, and the standard is a little abnormal!

You know, even in Longhu Mountain, during normal morning classes, many people would be drowsy or distracted after listening.

After all, people are different. Sometimes they are in a good state and can enter samadhi better. Sometimes they are in a bad state and cannot enter samadhi better. Isn't this normal?

But why do people in Qingyun Temple, young or old, have a whole class once they enter concentration?

Even the little Taoist priest who spoke at the beginning of the morning class was like this. He hadn't even taught me the ritual yet, so his concentration was so strong? !

Not normal, this is so abnormal!

Zhang Huaiyi was doubtful in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he continued to attend morning classes until the end.

As soon as the morning class ended, the disciples of Qingyun Temple who had just entered trance suddenly woke up and switched from the old monk's trance state to the chattering state in one second.

"Little Gao Gong, let's go, let's go have breakfast, and then we can go see the sealed place!" said the Master of Qingyun Temple.

Zhang Huaiyi had no objection. The breakfast at Qingyun Temple was very simple. It still consisted of porridge, steamed buns, and pickles, but each person had a salted duck egg.

During the meal, everyone was polite and silent.

After breakfast, Zhang Huaiyi's impression of the Qingyun audience was that everything was too formal and devoid of any human touch.

This is also abnormal. Zhengyi is not like Quanzhen. There are not so many red tapes. Generally speaking, it will not be so serious.

Even if their brothers and their master, who is a heavenly master, have dinner together, they will still talk and laugh, and they will not be so rigid.

There does seem to be some problems with Qingyun Temple, but these problems are too subjective and difficult to base on. We need to further observe.

…

After dinner, the master of Qingyun Temple took Zhang Huaiyi to the warlord's house, accompanied by two middle-aged Taoist priests, a total of four people.

The warlord's house is not far from Qingyun Temple. It is very elegant and has just been renovated. Even the tiles and the pull tabs on the door are new. The plaque on the door has the word "Yuefu" written on it. , with red lanterns hung on both sides of the plaque.

At the door of the house, stood two soldiers with live ammunition.

The viewer went over and said a few words, and a soldier entered the house.

After a while, a man dressed as a butler wearing a black robe and a round hat came out and brought the four people in.

After entering, Zhang Huaiyi looked around while holding the talisman to sense evil spirits.

The house is very large, with dozens of houses, and windows are decorated with grilles everywhere. From time to time, soldiers holding firearms can be seen passing by.

All the way into the inner house, the inner house is very bright and the furniture is all brand new. It is not like a warlord headquarters, but more like a reception house.

Not long after, a young officer wearing a neat blue military uniform and an impressive appearance came over.

"Taoist priest, are you here to see us again?" the officer said.

"Commander Zhang, isn't this just to protect your house? I hope you can be accommodating!" said the viewer.

"I know you are not swindling liars, so I am willing to cooperate with you, but this is the last time. I don't like being disturbed every three days. Go ahead. If you can't find out the reason, don't come again!" Officer! said.

Immediately, he asked the butler to take Zhang Huaiyi and his party there.

Pushing open a door painted black, everyone came to the backyard.

There is an old well in the southeast corner of the yard.

"Little Gao Gong, the seal is in that well!" the temple owner said, pointing to the old well.

Zhang Huaiyi held the talisman and carefully walked over to take a look.

It's a dry well, but it's so deep that I can't see clearly what's at the bottom.

The visitor came over and said, "When I was young, my master took me to see this well. At first glance, I could only feel that there was an extremely dark black energy shrouding the bottom of the well. It was bottomless. The black energy rolled around from time to time. It transformed into all kinds of ferocious faces, making people’s hearts tremble and their scalps numb, but now, it has turned into an ordinary dry well.”

Zhang Huaiyi looked at the dry well thoughtfully, then shot out a golden light to illuminate the dry well.

The space below is very large. The entire well is shaped like a kettle. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is difficult to judge from the mouth of the well how wide it is.

"There is a cave underneath this dry well. Would you like to go down there and give it a try?" said the temple owner.

"No need!"

Zhang Huaiyi refused righteously. He was not Zhang Zhiwei, but Shushu couldn't take such a risk.

Although he knew that since Qingyun Temple had reported it, it meant that they had been in this well and there should be no danger, but if he was not afraid of ten thousand, he was afraid of what might happen. What if?

There is no need to take risks that are unnecessary.

The master of Qingyun Temple looked at him in surprise. This little Taoist priest with big ears was acting out of common sense. Is he timid? !

"If it doesn't go down, how should the little master be checked?" he asked.

"I have a senior brother named Zhang Zhiwei. He said that I am not direct enough in my work, that I am irritating and beating around the bush. Today I am going to learn from him!"

Zhang Zhiwei... the viewer’s pupils shrank slightly, and he was about to ask Zhang Huaiyi how to study.

Zhang Huaiyi took out a handful of talismans, dozens of them, and threw them into the well. The talismans flew in like arrows, and then exploded.
