The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

【370】Purple air comes thirty thousand miles from the east. Outside the Qinling Mountains, there is Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is located on the plateau to the west, Juejian to the east, Qinling Mountains to the south, and the Yellow River to the north. It is one of the great pass fortresses of various dynasties and dynasties.

Because the pass is in the middle of a valley, it is as deep and dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. It was once an ancient battlefield where war horses neighed, and it is known as"one man can guard the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open it".

However, the real reason why Hangu Pass is famous is because the ancient sage Laozi, who is regarded as the founder of Taoism, once wrote the famous"Laozi Five Thousand Essays" here, which is the famous Taoist classic"Tao Te Ching" in later generations.

Legend has it that after Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, he rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, soared into the sky during the day, and disappeared.

Because of this, Hangu Pass is regarded as a holy land and enjoys a great reputation among the people. There is a temple built in Hangu Pass called Qingyun Temple, in which the statues of the Three Pure Ones are enshrined.

It is said that Qingyun Temple was originally built by Yi Xi. Among them, the three pure statues were shaped according to the appearance of Lao Tzu, so they are considered to be the most similar to Lao Tzu.

It is also very strange to say that before the eternal night fell, every day when the moon rose, there would be purple energy coming from the east and lingering on the Sanqing statue.

Even after eternal night falls, this strange scene does not stop. Therefore, as long as the residents in the pass see the purple air coming from the east, they will know that a new day has arrived.

Inside the Qingyun Temple, an old man wearing a simple Taoist robe with white beard and hair opened the door of the Taoist temple with some difficulty, and then sprinkled water to clean the Taoist temple with extremely skillful movements.

And this ordinary-looking old man is the master of the huge Qingyun Temple, and his Taoist name is Qing Lingzi.

It was undoubtedly very shocking that the dignified temple master actually did something like this that only a Taoist boy would do. However, the Taoist temple and even the pilgrims were not surprised by this.

Qing Lingzi does this kind of thing no longer just a day or two. He is exactly one hundred years old this year. He started doing it as a little Taoist boy and has been doing it for ninety years now, rain or shine.

Every morning he would personally open the door to clean the Taoist temple, and then ring the bell to welcome pilgrims. This was already a habit for him.

"Alas, getting old."

After cleaning up the last fallen leaves on the ground, Qing Lingzi was already out of breath and had to sit on the steps to rest.

He rested for a moment and looked at the sea of ​​clouds at the foot of the mountain. It was early in the morning. If it had been before, this sea of ​​clouds would have been covered by the clouds. When the early sun shines, it is really a magnificent scene, but now it cannot be seen.

But the scene of the moonlight shining on the sea of ​​clouds is not bad either.

"I don’t know if I can still see that scene in my lifetime."

Qing Lingzi said with some emotion, and then he concentrated, calculated the time, and prepared to ring the bell and greet the pilgrims. The eternal night fell, the world was turned upside down, and the world changed drastically. The Taoist temple in Hangu Pass was more incense than usual. Many pilgrims come to worship with piety every day, praying for their families and the Tang Dynasty.

He, the master of the temple, has no time to spare, but among them, cultivating Taoism actually cultivates freedom. A true self, he has no big ambitions. Looking at the comings and goings and the smell of incense, he feels that this is his freedom and true self.

When Qing Lingzi was about to get up and step into the Taoist temple, an old man in green robe happened to also walk up The last step.

Seeing this old man, he walked with clear steps and saluted:"Blessed Immortal Lord, I am just about to ring the bell to welcome guests. If the old man doesn't mind, please come and rest for a while, and then pray incense.""

For some reason, this old man felt familiar to him, as if he had seen him somewhere.

However, he only thought of him as an old pilgrim who often visited the temple, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Eight hundred years ago."

The old man in green robe said this sentence inexplicably, and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. There was an indescribable mysterious meaning in his body.

Qing Lingzi didn't know why, and was confused. When he was about to ask a question, Qing Lingzi The old man in green robe stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of his head.

Strangely enough, Qing Lingzi was a head taller than the old man in green robe, but could not avoid his touch.

The moment the old man in green robe fell, Qing Lingzi's whole body felt... Shocked, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up. With a smile on his face, he bowed down and saluted the old man in green robes and said,"Blessings are immeasurable, Heavenly Lord."

Through the vicissitudes of the sea, people remain the same.

……

On this day, Qing Lingzi, the master of Qingyun Temple, was found sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the Taoist temple, riding a crane and passing away at the age of 100.

Everyone in Qingyun Temple mourned for it, and pilgrims came and went in silence. However, when some pilgrims entered the temple to pay homage, they strangely discovered that under the original statue of Sanqing, there was an inexplicable statue of a green bull lying cross-legged.

At the same time, an old man in green robes rode a green bull slowly out of the Hangu Pass ancient road.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, purple air comes thirty thousand miles from the east

……

Lu Di, the hometown of Confucius.

The statues in the Confucius Temple of the Literary Saint Confucius are shining brightly, and their literary spirit rises into the sky like buckets, echoing the stars of Wenqu in the sky, connecting the sky and the earth.

The statue of Confucius in the Confucian Temple and the seventy-two sages who accompanied him flew out of the sky at the same time, and came to the sky above the Confucian Temple. The figures were like bright stars.

The leader is an old man in a mysterious suit. He has a majestic head and is born extraordinary.

He glanced at the world, then at the seventy-two figures standing behind him, and said with a smile:"Would you like to accompany me to travel around the world again and see the world of eternal night?"

Many disciples bent down and bowed their hands, He said respectfully:"I would like to serve Master."

The old man in Xuanfu smiled and disappeared with everyone.

……

Jining, Shandong, the hometown of Mencius.

A majestic figure that seemed to carry the rules of heaven and earth appeared above the Mencius Confucian Temple.

After taking one look at the world, he took a long breath and expressed his thoughts directly.

"I am good at cultivating the aura of awe-inspiring people!"

As soon as the words fell, the aura of awe filled the world

……

Hangu Pass, the hometown of Confucius, and the hometown of Mencius are the three places whereThe visions of heaven and earth that were born made all the powerful people with half-step psychic ability or above feel it.

They all looked in these three directions involuntarily, with shock and confusion in their eyes. What happened?
