Chapter six hundred and ninety-third, the everlasting light
Donghuangting knew the kindness of his mother and the love of his father, and he worked tirelessly, so he is today. Others practice Taoism and forget their feelings, but he entered the Tao because of his kindness to prove the so-called heart of practicing Taoism.
As soon as Donghuang Mingyue woke up, she saw a clear lake. The lake is precious and worthy of everyone's appreciation and appreciation of its pure vision and air.
Among them, various lakes often contain different beautiful scenery. The lakeside, lake surface and lake water can make people have different understandings of beauty.
In this strange world, there is actually a lake, which was unexpected by the Donghuang Mingyue. The lake in front of me is a natural lake that has been unmodified. I am afraid it is 1,200 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains and dense forests, and has a very pleasant environment.
Looking down from the lake, the animals and plants within 80 meters can be seen clearly. The cleanliness of the water body can be almost compared with the water when brewing tea and drinking. Under the dark blue lake is green moss shining alone, which makes the water body more color and layered.
Donghuang Mingyue spread his spiritual sense out, and then discovered a second lake in the distance. The lake is adjacent to the lake in front of her, more than 7,000 kilometers long, and the widest place is 1,700 meters. The area of the lake exceeds 5,000 square meters. The lake surface is wide and the depth is basically around 100 meters. The deepest place is nearly 200 meters. It is the lake with the largest depth she knows.
Surrounded by the mountains, the lake is always quiet and very clear. There are often swans lazily paddling here. When the weather is good, mist will float above the lake.
The bright moon of the Eastern Emperor was very surprised and walked across the air. The reflection on the lake flashed like a geek.
When she flew to a high place in the air, she discovered that this was a five-element lake distributed in the east, south, west, north and middle.
The lake in the south is at the foot of Changling, with a total area of nearly 6,000 square miles. It is the largest freshwater lake she has ever seen. It is wide and clear, and the stones at the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen in shallow waters.
The water body is very wide around it, the water quality is so clear that there is no trace of filth, and the color is very light. I am afraid that except for the morning and sunsets, the lake surface can take the opportunity to contrast with the purple and light red halos.
The lake in the center is more like a colorful pool. The water here is clear, making the calcified substances and pebbles on the bottom of the water clearly visible. Although the water source comes from the same stream, due to the influence of organisms and external things at the bottom of the pond, the color and color of each lake are different. There are light blue and deep-sea blue, as well as green, yellow, turquoise green, and dreamy.
The fifth lake is more than 40,000 meters long and more than 20,000 meters wide. The total area of the water has reached more than 900 square miles, and the deepest water area is more than 110 meters deep. If you want to fish in this lake, you may have to prepare enough fishing lines.
Because the water quality is clear, even if people are rafting on it, they can see the shadow of the boat at the bottom of the water. If the lake is not fluctuating, others would definitely think they are sitting on a piece of blue crystal.
The five lakes are distributed in the five elements array, which is not ordinary tricks, but rather deliberately natural.
Donghuang Mingyue knew that this was an excellent place for practicing Taoism. When you swept your body, you would like a dragonfly to squint the water, causing a little ripples on the lake surface. It passed in an instant, leaving the dust without contaminating the world, passing through the mark without shocking things. Not only did you not stagnate the wind, but you also integrated with the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
She came to the bank of the colorful lake, sat cross-legged on the green grass, and entered the scenery and painting without any suddenness.
Close your eyes and sit cross-legged among the mountains and rivers, practice the heaven and earth, enter the dream of the river and the calm mind, and the soul is as wonderful as the emptiness.
The spiritual consciousness of the Donghuang Mingyue flew away, and I don’t know where she entered the illusion, as if she had left her body and was transcended from the object.
She saw a deep mountain with lush bamboos and bamboos hidden there, a thousand-year-old temple, called Silkworm Goddess Temple.
Although this Silkworm Goddess Temple is small, it has always been incense. Because it is a spiritual comfort to the surrounding villagers, people come to burn incense and wishes within a hundred miles.
There is a poor scholar named Jiang Yunshan who is next to the Temple of Silkworm Goddess.
When he was a child, Yunshan, who was eager to learn, watched bamboo in the bamboo forest during the day and painted it in the bamboo forest at night, went to the temple to borrow light to study. The breeze in the bamboo forest made him feel elegant, and the clean oil copper lamp in the temple gave him hope at night.
The old man who guarded the temple looked at the diligent child and nodded, saying, "Yunshan, this is the everlasting light for you for six hundred years!"
Year after year, the Yunshan Mountain, which was diligent in studying, grew up gradually. The old man happily said to people: "The Silkworm God sent me a dream, saying that the eternal lantern in the temple will give birth to a talented man." But the listener did not believe it, nor did the villagers believe it.
However, more than ten years later, this child who was watching the Silkworm Goddess and studied hard under the clean oil lamp in the temple finally gained fame of knowledge and was immediately jointly sent to the city to study by the excited villagers.
In short, Qiongyunshan had not been to his hometown Silk Goddess Temple for a long time. After a year of hard study, he finally set off to go to the royal city to take the exam and get a job.
So, he felt that he had to go back to his hometown to bid farewell to the Silkworm Goddess. However, when he stepped into the temple gate, the scene in front of him still surprised him. The familiar temple was dark in broad daylight. In front of the statue of the empress, the oil lamp was turned off and the offering fruits were covered with dust. Seeing that the old man in the temple was dozing off next to the desk.
Yunshan woke up the old man in surprise and asked, "Old man, why is this happening?"
"It's not like this for a day or two." The old man shook his head and sighed, "I don't understand. Since last year, there have been fewer and fewer pilgrims, and there are fewer cars and horses in front of the door. This was not the case before. You know, our Empress Temple is very powerful."
"But there is always a reason!" Yunshan said in confusion.
He thought about it and asked again: "Old man, have you encountered any strange things over the years?"
The old man fainted for a long time and asked himself, "Strange thing? There should be no!" He said for a while: "It was just a merchant who collected mountain goods three years ago. He gave ten shell coins as incense money, saying that he asked the Silkworm God to bless him to become a rich man for three years. Last year, he came again and said that the cup coins given to the Niangniang Temple did not work, but he actually made him lose his fortune and was burdened with debts. He took away the oil lamp on the offering table, which was the eternal lamp that shone on your childhood!
"From now on, strange things have happened. Other well-lit oil lamps on the table will always jump inexplicably and then go out."
Over time, the old man was lazy and heartless to light up. The temple lacked oil and lighted lights, and the people coming to burn incense became rarer and the temple became deserted again and again, which became the scene today.
After he said this, Jiang Yunshan sighed: "There is a lamp at home, so there is warmth at night, and there is a bright light in the temple, so the incense is so prosperous. This temple cannot be separated from the lamp!"
The old man said, "No, this eternal lamp is originally a temple's ancient lamp! It can be regarded as a treasure for the temple's temple. The previous generation said that the only lamp in the temple has been bright for six hundred years. It can be kept in the strong wind and the wind becomes brighter. It is a magic lamp!"
Jiang Yunshan was even more surprised when he heard the old man say this. He has been familiar with the light of this lamp since he was a child, so the lights in the temple were the hope in his heart. He couldn't help but feel very sad and felt his heart was empty.
Yunshan placed a stick of incense on the hands of the Silkworm Goddess, but he felt heavy.
The old man looked at his decadent expression and said to comfort him, "Don't be sad, I think this may be destined by God."
Yunshan hurriedly asked, "Is there any basis or statement?"
The old man said: "Actually, three years ago, a Taoist priest from Yunyou came. He walked around in front of the temple and praised the Feng Shui here. The shape of the mountain behind the temple is like a half-ring dragon chaise. The temple is covered by lush forests and bamboos, which is deep and simple. The mountain on the left front of the temple is like a dragon, majestic and steep, and high cliffs stand; looking at the right side, it looks like a tiger lying low. The most wonderful thing is that there is a deep pool at the foot of the mountain, like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. This temple is unique, with a high left and a low right terrain, with a green dragon guarding on the left and a white tiger guarding on the right. The deep pool is a big Ming Hall, which can both hide the wind and gather energy, so it has created a thousand-year-old temple."
"But this year, this ancient temple lives on the north side. There are five flying stars in the Nine Palaces Huang Lianzhen's great evil star coming, and it will definitely go through a disaster. A year of decline will also be a fortune!"
Yunshan asked anxiously: "Did the Taoist priest didn't say how to resolve it?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "The Taoist priest didn't say anything."
Yunshan had no choice but to set off, and halfway through, he heard passers-by say that there were robbers on the mountain road these days.
"You have to be careful." Someone reminded him.
But Yunshan was thinking about the lamp in his heart, and he walked slowly, thinking to himself: "I have to do something for the Silkworm Goddess in my hometown!"
I kept muttering all the way, walking around at dawn, walking out of the deep mountains of clouds.
On the third day, he came to a town on the avenue and looked up and saw a magnificent temple at the entrance of the town.
Yun Xin raised his legs and went in, but the incense table in front of the statue here was bright and the cigarette was shaking. In the temple, there were pilgrims everywhere. But I heard the sound of drums and chimes in my ears, which was a different scene.
Yunshan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed again. A flash of thought in his heart: Why don't I invite a copper lamp for my hometown here to go back? Perhaps with the spirit of the big temple, it can restore the vitality of the Silkworm Goddess Temple, and it will not make the hearts of the villagers feel refreshed."
He had a certain idea and stepped forward to tell the old Taoist priest the whole story and explained: "I am a scholar in white and donated incense. Can I buy five shell coins and a bamboo painting? I invite an old copper lamp to give it to the Silk Goddess Temple in my hometown. I will do my best to express my sincerity."
The old Taoist with white beard raised his eyes and looked at Yunshan. Seeing that although he was wearing a coarse cloth and blue shirt, he looked with Yan Junxiu with a clear look. Then he looked at the bamboo picture he handed over with both hands. He was very surprised and said, "Are you really willing to use this painting to replace the lamp?" (To be continued)
