Another story.

The distant land of China across the ocean from Seattle.

Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes are famous all over the world. Thirty miles away, a Taoist temple is unwelcome. Compared with the fame and income of his neighbor Longmen, this Taoist temple is too ordinary. The entire Taoist temple is built on the top of the flat peaks of the mountain, which is enough to accommodate the entire Taoist temple. The simple gate temple and the simple architecture are not as bold as Wudang, but it is more close to people. The incense at the foot of the mountain is the nearby people gathered up to the mountain to burn incense and worship ancestors. But how many incense temples can Taoism have today? In addition to those huge Taoist mountains, paths like "Qingjing Temple" are no longer attracting attention and worship.

But this Taoist temple is also strange. There are no Taoist children or Taoist people. The mountains are quiet. The mountains are the lowest and the mountains are the lowest. However, they are surrounded by the surrounding peaks. The top of the mountain is flat, which makes some scenery strange. The village is Xuanming at the foot of the mountain. There are nearby villages three or five miles away. However, there are few Taoist faiths and the incense is not as high as before. But at least they are under the Taoist mountain. Therefore, some believers are still going up the mountain to burn incense and ask for blessings and misfortunes on holidays.

The Taoist temple worships Lu Zu, the Taoist who flew across Dongting Lake and rode a crane ascended on the Yellow Crane Tower. There are still remains of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, but it is a legend after all, but it does not prevent people from worshiping it.

In front of the Luzu Temple, a simple Taoist is sitting quietly, one by one watching the other.

This is also the strange point of the public in the village at the foot of the mountain. According to ancient times, Taoist Guan has been raising funds for a Taoist priest a hundred years ago. Due to the long-term incident, all living beings in that era have gradually withered, and the village has no intention of deliberately keeping things about that year. After all, it is the people of Yunshi who are seeking survival and making money to support their families. How can they have the heart to take care of these things?

The Taoist Guanzhi people remembered that it was just a person who was watching and there was no Taoist boy following him, and there were many Taoists gathered. Only this Taoist kept watching all day long, burning incense and dust to say some ordinary words to the pilgrims who occasionally came to burn incense, and did not say all kinds of words. If any sentient beings ask about this blessing, this person would also give some divination content.

After all, since ancient times, Taoism has never been separated from divination, and this is the scene of Taoism.

But this does not hinder the magical thing is that this Taoist priest never speaks of gods and immortals, nor does he say that ascend to the crane. The villagers are knowledgeable and do not know the matter of teaching. They just occasionally ask about immortality. The Taoist smiled and said, "Do you believe it?" Most of the things that come from 99% of the people who don't believe it. When someone asks about age, the Taoist never answers, and just smiles.

What the villagers only heard was that this Taoist can cure diseases and is famous in all directions of the countryside. Drinking a cup of water from the Taoist temple under his stomach will relieve the pain. However, some people drink it but it is ineffective. The Taoist answered only "fate".

The ordinary people have no solution, but they just belong to the Taoist temple and were protected by Lu Zu. The fragrance and Taoist sounds are chanted every day, and the dyed water also has a strange meaning.

But after all, those who believe in it hope, so many villagers do not go up the mountain, or come only once a year. Although they are close to the water, they cannot get the moon. There are many who do not know the wonderful water, and few who know it, and those who do not believe in it need to drink water. If they go up the mountain and talk to them, they will become an ambiguous thing.

It is rumored that Taoist people have not debuted in Taoist temples for thirty years.

But it's a rumor after all.

Now, four years ago, the Taoist priest who never left the house went out at night. The Taoist temple was closed day and night, and the door was locked with a big lock. However, the incense in the Taoist temple was not dark and the light was dependent on it. This news was still a Taoist priest who believed in Taoism and worshipped the statue of Lu Zu at home. He went up the mountain to visit the Taoist priest and gave some food. Then he found that the temple was closed.

However, after one or two months, the Taoist man was able to hold a baby. The child looked one or two years old, and he was still in the stage where he had no memory and his nature was not born. He didn't know where this baby came from, but the Taoist treated him like a parent and child, and from this Taoist contemplation for three years.

After four years, Taoist temples have opened the Taoist gate to welcome guests. In the past four years, the number of pilgrims has increased. I wonder if it is not to see the baby or to open it all the time.

Liu Boneng is a simple mountain villager of 38, aged 38, and has a high education. However, when he was young, he was very imposing. He ran to Wudang Mountain for a trip. After returning, he returned to the Taoist, and went to the mountain to watch and worship Taoist, burning incense. He has not stopped for ten years. He is a pilgrim who is loyal to Taoism. Seeing that he is sincere, the Taoist priest gave him a must-read Taoist lesson and told him to read day and night and study when he has time. The Taoist was not complicated and just said to continue reading. The villagers were honest, turning pages and pages, with only a few words of Taoism in their hearts, and only remembered them deeply. He usually gave Taoist food such as potatoes, carrots and other foods grown from his own fields, and collected some corn and would also be sent up the mountain in the same season.

Liu Bo Neng didn't come to the door for three years. Now that the gate of the viewing door is reopened, he went up the mountain early in the morning. The village is flat, and the farmland is cut by a thousand meters, and each family returns to his home. The northeast is the mountain and the southwest is the flat landform of the hills. The Taoist temple is located at the "Baima Mountain" ten miles behind the mountain road. According to legend, it is the place where the Qin Emperor pointed at the point where soldiers threw whips and filled the ditch.

When you approach the top of the mountain, you will see pleasant scenery, unlimited strange rocks, clear streams, clear birds singing, beautiful springs, beautiful forests, blue sky and white clouds, a very beautiful area. No wonder Taoists like mountains and monks are close to forests.

The Taoist temple is simple and not ostentatious. The door seat is simple and has three large regular script characters "Qingjingguan" engraved on the top, and there is a couplet on both sides, the left is "Qingjing and practicing Taoism", and the right is "Sitting in a quiet and quiet place".

Liu Bo Neng did not stop and walked into the door lightly. When he saw that it was early in the morning, the Taoist got up early. I don’t know which room I was in. The lotus flowers floated up at the pond at the door, and the sound of water was rumored. It was rumored that a few sips of water from this pond could cure the disease. Liu Bo Neng firmly believed that his lung disease was cured by this spring. However, what he was surprised was that those villagers at the foot of the mountain did not believe it, but they did not understand it when they heard this news. They only believed in the Taoist words, fate?

On the right side of the view is a stone well. Upwards the stone well, there is a row of simple houses. On the top of the house is a horizontal hall, forming a courtyard pattern.

In the upper part of the hall, there are houses on both sides, and a natural spring pool in the middle was returned by Taoists from the mountains, piled up and maintained, and some water lotus planted. The hall is not luxurious, very simple. The roof of the black house is covered with black and gray tiles. I think it was because the black was dyed with the grey color of the years?

Liu Boneng is very familiar with the place. For ten years, he came here every other month or three months, and came here to deliver food, clothes and silk, or bought some delicious fragrance from the county to give it to Guanli.

He walked along the stone well and saw cigarettes in front of Lu Zu's palace, in the copper furnace, and the entire Taoist temple was so savored and very comfortable. The door of the hall was wide open. He did not see the familiar Taoist viewing scene, but saw a four or five-year-old child holding a broom that was much taller than him, and was sweeping the dust on the ground seriously.

Liu Boneng was stunned and immediately said happily: "Is this the child who was brought by his mentor four years ago?" Four years ago, he only saw this child. He was a baby at the time, but now he is a young child.

Liu Bo could see the Taoist walking out of the Lu Zu Palace. The child looked up at the Taoist, as if he was dependent on the closest person. He thought that he had completed the task assigned by the closest person and was likable?

The Taoist touched the child's head, looked at his soul kindly, then picked up the child and turned to Liu Boneng. The child saw Liu Boneng for the first time, and was naturally curious and looked over with his eyes.

Liu Boneng's body was shocked, his soul was shocked, and then he trembled. He naturally saw the Taoist's harmonious and easy gaze, but was attracted by the eyes of the baby nowadays, or his temperament?

If a literati were to describe his temperament again, Liu Bo could only feel it, but could not describe it.

The child's eyes gave people a sense of wiseness, as if a person with the word "spirit" was there, giving people a very happy look, but did he feel the power in those eyes?

It’s like adults and children looking at each other, they can always feel the power of purity.

Liu Bo Neng was in a daze. After all, he didn't practice the Tao deeply, so how could he recognize the wonderful Samadhi? It was just a touch of ordinary people. When he was polite to the Taoist, the Taoist smiled and said, "B Neng, I'll give my disciple three heads."

Liu Boneng was shocked. When he saw the Taoist in the Taoist in his arms, he naturally nodded and looked at the child in his arms. Seeing that he was looking at him curiously, he believed in the Taoist, without any understanding. He had already returned to the Taoist, and immediately went to the ground to pay tribute to the boy three deep tributes.

After he got up, the Taoist suddenly said, "Only those who are constant can obtain the truth, and only those who believe can obtain the truth."

"Boneng, it is a good deed for you to convert to my disciples now. It is a joyful and congratulations."

"You have been in charge of the Tao for ten years, the opportunity has been ripe and the merits are fulfilled. Today, I pray to my disciple three times and personally see my disciple's young face. It is your fate."

Liu Bo was happy when he heard this and knew what treasure he had obtained. Although his realm was not high and he could not break it, he felt it was vaguely not simple.

"Master, this kid?"

"You have accumulated enough opportunities and you will know naturally. You don't need to ask me. It's not that I don't save you, but that your opportunity is not ripe and you must meet my disciple to save you."

"Ah!" Liu Bo could serve the Tao for ten years and seek the Tao with all his heart. He was not the only way to return to the Tao to learn the Tao. Now that he heard the mechanism, he was very happy, and knew that it was God's will and was extremely respectful.

"After worshiping incense today, I will give you a book of Lu Zu's martial arts. Go home to study them. Don't neglect Lu Zu's martial arts. When you accumulate enough merit, you will return to the Tao in a moment."

Liu Boneng kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my teacher."

The young child was curious about Liu Bo's behavior, and was let go by the Taoist, and ran over to touch Liu Bo'neng. It was the young child's behavior. Liu Bo'neng looked at the child happily, with great respect.

The child was naughty and surrounded Liu Bo Neng and played, and said something about children. After being teased, he burst into laughter.

Liu Boneng looked over the Taoist, and the Taoist nodded and expressed his permission. With the Taoist's consent, he picked up the new Taoist boy in the Taoist temple, held him high and played with the child.

The child exclaimed and then laughed happily.

Uncle Liu could hold the child and spin it. The child's happy voice resounded throughout the Taoist temple.
