Treasure Identifying Divine Eyes - Chapter 2203
Looking at the letter paper in his hand, Lin Xi was very sad.
In fact, he had thought of today for a long time, but he didn’t think that he came so fast, so suddenly and so determined that he was caught off guard.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to contact Yu Qingming, but that he can’t contact him all the time. I think it’s fate, and their fate is over.
The past cannot be recalled.
That strange fairy girl, the fairy in his heart, can only be stored in his memory and his midnight dream from now on.
Whenever he thought of this, Lin Xi would hold down his chest and feel that he had lost a piece in his heart and could never make it up. An unspeakable pain hit his whole body and tortured him.
After a long time, he put away the letter paper, put it close to his body, looked at the room that originally belonged to Yu Qingming, turned back step by step and left sadly.
Things have happened and are irreversible. Even if he doesn’t give up more, even if his heart is like a knife, he should learn to let go and give up, because there are too many positions and thorns waiting for him to sweep away.
Stopping here may be the best outcome. The lost corner in his heart will make him hard to remember and remember this memory.
It’s good to forget in the Jianghu.

Two days later, Lin Xi and Xiao Min drove to Yushan County, where Shaohua mountain is located, with their local teachers.
Shaohua mountain, also known as Sanqing mountain, is named because the three peaks of Yujing, yuxu and Yuhua are like the three Taoist gods of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing sitting on the top of the mountain. During this period, the Taoist culture is rich, which can be called the extension of Longhu Mountain.
Shaohua mountain began with Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty. According to historical records, during the Shengping period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Ge Hong and Li Shangshu at least joined hands to refine pills in Huashan and wrote books. Up to now, there are still relics of Dan wells and furnaces dug by Ge Hong on the mountain.
Danjing, in particular, lasted more than 1000 years and did not dry up all year round. Its water was clear and sweet, which was called “Xianjing” by later generations.
Therefore, Ge Hong became the “founder” of Shaohua mountain.
Taoism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and Shaohua mountain also flourished, with an endless stream of pilgrims. Taoists built the first building on Shaohua mountain – Laogong temple, also known as the “blessed land of Sanqing” at the alchemy place of Gehong Jielu.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor believed in Taoism, which led to the worship of Taoism in the society. Therefore, a batch of Taoist buildings began to appear in Shaohua mountain, including Ge xianguan, which enshrined the stone statues of Ge Xianweng and Li Shangshu, as well as Fuqing temple and LINGJI temple.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that on the cliff of Tianmen peak, a six storey and five sided wind and thunder tower is carved with natural granite. This tower has endured thousands of years of wind and rain and has remained firm so far. It is known as the bright pearl of Taoist architecture on Shaohua mountain.
In the Yuan Dynasty, there were Taoists who believed in Quanzhen Sect on Shaohua mountain, but most of them were Zhengyi Taoists who came to Longhu Mountain Tianshi mansion.
According to Lu Qiyuan, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, in his book “a trip to Shaohua mountain”, Shaohua mountain is now undergoing major construction and expanding the Sanqing temple, which is dedicated to the statues of Shi Xianjun, GE Xianweng, Li Shangshu, Jintong, Yunv and marshal pan; The scenery and location on the mountain are also named after Taoist titles, such as immortal bridge, Leigong stone, magistrate stone, etc., which shows the prosperity of Shaohua mountain at that time.
In the Ming Dynasty, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang particularly respected Taoism. Tianshi Zhang was the leader of the whole country, and Longhu Mountain became the ancestral court of Taoism in the world. Shaohua mountain was only 300 miles away from Longhu Mountain. Taoist priests had frequent contacts and close contacts. The educational affairs activities of Shaohua mountain were almost directly under the control of Tianshi Zhang, and the worship was very popular. It was said that “one year towards Sanqing and one year towards Shaohua”.
Worshippers marched in groups, opening the way with the statues of Sanqing and banners, lighting incense and candles, carrying various sacrifices of pigs, cattle and sheep, singing three eye guns to cheer, accompanied by drum music, blowing and beating. There were more than 10000 people and less than thousands of people every day. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was the heyday of Shaohua mountain, and a large number of buildings on the mountain appeared like bamboo shoots after a rain.
During the reign of Jingtai, the dragon and tiger hall, the alchemist eclosion altar, the jade zero view, the picket house, the performance and Teaching Hall, the Jiutian YingYuan house, the Pangong hall, the fanghaoshang, the Tianmen stone square, the feisendai, the Liuxia bridge, the stone steps “the wonderful thousand step gate” and “the Chongxu hundred step gate” have been built on the mountain, and the Sanqing view has been rebuilt and the Sanqing palace has been rebuilt.
There are countless folklores spread here, including four most famous ones: Monkey King’s FA Xiang, Jade Emperor’s gift of jade, Ge Hong’s opening of the mountain and Guanxiu’s painting of Arhats.
Let’s start with the monkey king’s FA Xiang.
It is said that sun Dasheng, who made a big fuss about the heavenly officials in those days, was ordered by the Guanyin law to protect the Tang monk from the west to learn scriptures. After the difficulty of September 81, the merit garden was finally full.
The four teachers and disciples went to the Western Buddhist kingdom to see the Tathagata Buddha and wait for the Buddha’s blessing to achieve positive results.
Tang Xuanzang led Wukong, Wuneng and Wujing to pay homage to the Buddha, stood aside and waited for the Buddha to grant him the title of Buddha and the title of Monkey King to fight and defeat the Buddha.
Unexpectedly, the monkey king suddenly kowtowed to the Buddha Buddha and said, “thank the Buddha for granting the title of Buddha. The monkey king should be content and happy. However, the demons and demons have not been eliminated in the eastern land, the vast world, and the people are deeply affected. How can the monkey King worship the Buddha and sit quietly and watch, and live up to the Buddha’s intention to win the fight and defeat the Buddha…”
The Buddha smiled and asked Wukong, “so what do you want…”
If you don’t want to fight the devil in the holy land, you can’t fight the devil in the East… If you don’t want to fight the devil in the sky, you can’t fight the devil in the East
After listening to this, the Buddha said with a smile, “I think the West sky is clean. It is a paradise. The ground is paved with gold, the white jade is a pool, the ground is filled with lotus, the Yingluo is hanging on the ground, the seven treasures Bodhi is immortal, and there is no better quiet holy land than this in the world…”
Wukong replied, “in the eastern land of China, there is a Shaohua mountain, which is a wonderland of Yaotai generated by heaven and earth. There are towering peaks, rosy clouds on the ground, white clouds in the secluded valley and flying waterfalls hanging in the mountains; strange rocks and pines forget their color and don’t grow old. The disciples want to practice the magic subduing method, and they are afraid that Lao Jun’s teaching ancestors can’t tolerate me, because they made a big fuss in the palace and knocked over Lao Jun’s Bagua stove…”
After hearing this, the Buddha asked the disciples of the disciples standing on both sides: “who is willing to go east to Sanqing for me, lead Wukong to intercede with Lao Jun and let him stay Wukong, so as to fulfill his great wish to join the heaven…”
Guanyin Bodhisattva flashed out of the class, folded his hands and said, “I’d like to take Wukong east to Sanqing and convey the Buddha’s Dharma to Lao Jun and his ancestors…”
The Buddha nodded with great joy, and the people of all schools chanted the Buddha’s name: “Amitabha Buddha in the South…”
Wukong said goodbye to his master and younger martial brother in the hall, followed Guanyin, drove Caiyun and flew straight to Shaohua mountain.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is wearing a purple robe, stepping on a golden lotus, with seven treasure light wheels on top, and surrounded by fragrant clouds all the way.
Wukong drove up the clouds and followed closely.
After a while, he flew to the fairyland of Sanqing and came to Yujing peak to see the Supreme Master of Taoism and convey the will of the Buddha Tathagata.
After listening to Guanyin’s explanation of his intention, the religious ancestor smiled at Wukong and said, “what a monkey king, let him pass in the past. Man follows the earth, the earth follows the heaven, and the heaven follows the Tao. It’s rare for you to have such a great wish to unite the heaven. How can I hold a grudge against the past…”
“I’ll give you one Jinping cave in Jiutian and one spirit pearl of Sancai Duobao. With this pearl in hand, you can see clearly where there are demons. Just remove the demons, subdue the demons and catch the demons. There’s no need to turn over the somersault cloud…”
The old gentleman’s words made the immortals laugh.
Guanyin said goodbye to the old emperor and taught his ancestors, and drove Caiyun back to the west to reply.
Wukong also kowtowed to his ancestors and went to Jiutian Jinping cave to clean up his new house in Tang Dynasty.
In front of the cave, surrounded by ancient pines, there is just a big stone. Wukong likes to sit on this stone. Over time, it has become a “wonderful platform” for Wukong to cultivate and observe treasures, which is the Dharma phase of the monkey king.
And the Jade Emperor bestows jade.
Before Sui and Tang Dynasties, Huaiyu mountain beside Shaohua mountain had no mountain name.
After Xuanzang traveled westward to learn scriptures, Buddhism flourished.
During the Dali period, a monk named Zhichu came to Huaiyu mountain. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers, gorgeous scenery, isolation from the world and free from worldly dust, it was a treasure land for chanting scriptures, learning Taoism and cultivating self-cultivation. He was overjoyed, so he made fortune everywhere and begged for alms. Then he settled in Jielu in Huaiyu mountain and named his residence “Dingwen Temple”.
At the beginning of Zhichu, the Buddha’s sincere petition not only chimes and chants Scriptures every day, but also sets up a censer on the top of the peak. At five o’clock every day, he climbs the peak to worship incense. Over time, the incense ashes in the furnace accumulate into a peak, which is called “censer peak”.
The smoke curled up in the stove and floated to the heaven court with the wind. The Jade Emperor was very surprised.
He summoned Qianliyan and shunfenger and said, “I don’t know who is so pious in the world. I pray and chant scriptures every day and worship me. Go and visit me. Go and return quickly…”
Qianliyan and shunfenger stepped out of the gate of heaven, lowered the cloud head, and came to the world. After a while, they made a clear investigation and reported to the Jade Emperor.
Deeply moved, the Jade Emperor immediately announced to the God of wealth and ordered him to take a piece of precious jade from the treasure house, drop the mortal dust and reward Zhichu.
That night, monk Zhichu was ringing chimes and chanting scriptures in the temple. Suddenly, he heard a thunderbolt, which was deafening. When he looked up, he saw a flash of white light in the sky, which shone like day on the mountain.
Zhichu didn’t know the bad luck, so he got up quickly. As soon as he got out of the temple door, he saw a bright disc like the bright moon suddenly fall into the air and fall directly on the mound in front of Dingwen temple. At the place where the disc fell, ten thousand sparks burst into it. When he looked at it, the disc had already disappeared.
Zhichu didn’t know what it was, so he took a hoe and worked hard to dig where the disc disappeared. He dug deep and got a precious jade the size of a bronze mirror.
Zhichu was surprised and happy, and was busy collecting it in his sleeve.
This mound is called “white jade mound” by later generations, and the nameless mountain is named “Huaiyu mountain”, which is the branch of Shaohua mountain.
And Gehong Kaishan.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
One day, Ge Hong came to a place called Jinsha in Yushan County. At that time, Yushan County had not been built. There were towering ancient trees, weeds and tigers howling.
Taoist Ge Hong raised his eyes to the West and saw three giant peaks towering among the mountains. They were towering and towering. He couldn’t help but exclaim and ask the old farmer what the mountain was.
The old farmer replied, “it’s Shaohua mountain…”
