Before we arrived at Yanqing Temple, we could see the evergreen ancient fir from afar. The tree is more than ten meters high and has a circle of three or four meters. The crown is large and dense, with a dark blue color and a umbrella-shaped shape.

Li Luotang sent his horse in the tea shed beside the road, paid five copper coins, asked the store to take care of it, and walked to see.

There is a Buddha in the temple, worshipped by monks.

There is a god in the contemplation, which is worshipped by the Taoist.

There are quite a lot of people coming to the temple to worship Buddha and gods.

There are many rituals and people who don’t blame each other, so are gods and Buddhas.

When I entered the hall, I saw the screen wall.

In the middle of the screen wall is the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Bagua diagram.

This Tai Chi diagram is the simplest among the many illustrations, but the richest connotation, and can be called the most perfect pattern.

A Taoist next to him said, "Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two qualities, two qualities give birth to four images, four qualities give birth to eight trigrams, the Eight trigrams determine good and bad luck, and good and bad luck bring great cause."

Li Luotang raised his eyebrows, and hey, there are Taoists who act as tour guides!

Of course, Taoist cannot be a tour guide. Taoist is "selling" the peace talisman.

Please ask for a peace talisman and only six copper coins.

Although Li Luotang felt it was quite cheap, he still bargained with the Taoist, "I want to invite ten pieces. Can you please five copper coins each?"

The Taoist was stunned. The person who came to ask for the peace talisman was not a bargaining.

After a moment of silence, the Taoist replied: "Please be safe, you should be sincere."

sincerity?

Well, sincere experience is expressed with money.

Li Luotang gave sixty cents and got ten peace talismans.

Holding the peace talisman, bypassing the screen wall, he entered Yanqing Temple. What caught his eye was Tongming Pavilion, also known as Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Li Luotang did not rush to go in, but stood outside and looked at it. The Jade Emperor Pavilion faced north and south, divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, all made of blue bricks, bluestone and glazed tiles.

The lower layer is square, the outside is a four-slope eaves, and there are five auspicious animals carved above the eaves: dragon, phoenix, lion, horse, and fish. They are carved in different shapes and are lifelike.

The second layer is an octagonal shape, and continuous mountain flowers are built with green glazed tiles around the octagonal shape, like tall mountains and undulating waves.

There is a dragon head on each mountain tip, with the dragon head facing inward, and an arrow handle is inserted on the dragon's back. This is one of the nine sons of the dragon, called the chubby kiss.

Legend has it that the five elements of the cherry are water, and it can be placed on the ridge of the house to cure fires.

The third floor is an octagonal pavilion with a flat seat and a blue glazed tiled railing. The outside is made of orchids and green glazed tiles with eaves, railings, and brackets.

The top of the tallest pavilion is an octagonal spire, with a flame bead on it, which is pulled by several vertical chains.

There are two samurai riding lions on the ridge on the south side of the pavilion. The samurai wore a pointed curled felt hat and horse boots. Even the patterns of the fur clothes he wore were very clear.

After walking around the Yuhuang Pavilion, you can see a plaque with a glass brick inlaid on the lintel on the south side of the pavilion, with the three words "Yuhuang Pavilion" in the blue background and gold characters on the regular script of Yangwen.

The inner brick carving in the north has three characters "Tongmingge" with a direct quotation, with a large scale.

After watching outside, Li Luotang walked in, and the inside was round and the bottom, which echoed the sentence: "The sky is round and the place is round, and the heaven is united by man and nature."

On the central divine platform is a bronze statue of Emperor Xuan. Xuanwu is also called Zhenwu, which is worshipped by Taoism. It is said that he is the prince of King Fengle in ancient times.

Born brave, he traveled across the East China Sea, met the gods and gave him a sword, entered Wudang Mountain, Hubei to practice. After 42 years of success, he ascended in the sun, and was timid in all directions. He was called Xuanwu Jun, also known as Xuanwu Emperor.

Taoism believes in "Southern Diu is imputed to live, and Beidou is imputed to die". In order to pray for prolonging life and longevity, the people must worship Emperor Xuanwu.

Li Luotang also followed the crowd and worshipped Emperor Xuanwu.

After coming out of Yanqing Temple, Li Luotang was considering whether to go to Daxiangguo Temple or Baogong Temple, when he heard someone shouting: "Help!"

Turning around, I saw a simple-dressed woman, but still beautiful, entangled by several untidy men.

There were many people watching, but no one reached out to save the woman.

The stout man smiled and said, "Girl, my brothers have not done anything to you, why do you want to scream?"

"Brother Pi Wu, aren't you the one who likes to moan the most? This girl's voice sounds pretty nice, just like the yellow oriole."

The other men burst into laughter and said dirty words.

Li Luotang frowned, why did all these gangsters emerge?

Is it difficult to be able to make a comeback?

The woman's face turned red by their teasing and begged, "Master, please let me go."

The thick man named Pi said, "Let me hug you and kiss you, and I will let you go."

As he said that, he forced his hand to hug the woman, pouted his mouth and was about to come up and kiss the woman's mouth.

The woman was so scared that she shouted: "Help! Help!"

"Let her go." Li Luotang couldn't stand it anymore.

The group of hooligans heard the sound and turned around and saw that they were a handsome young man.

The gangster who was ignorant of life and death teased Li Luotang, "This kid looks good and is more beautiful than the ones raised by those rich families. If he could sleep for a night, it would definitely taste great."

"Papapapapapapapapapa" attacked the long whip, and Li Luotang beat the group of hooligans.

The woman who was teased by a hooligan before saw this, ran away wildly.

The gangsters knew that they had encountered a tough guy, and they were beaten to the ground and begged for mercy, "Young hero, you can spare your life, you can spare your life."

"Get out." Li Luotang whipped away and shouted loudly.

The gangsters got up with difficulty and helped them to leave.

"Papapapapapapapapa" Li Luotang pulled them all to the ground again, "I'm asking you to get out."

The gangsters did not dare to resist and could only roll on the ground. Some of the onlookers couldn't help laughing.

Li Luotang left Yanqing Temple and went to Baogong Temple.

There are also many people coming to Bao Gong Temple, and it is rare to be honest officials in the world!

In the main hall of the temple, there is a statue of Bao Gong sitting, a python robe and jade belt, sitting upright on the backrest chair, just like a pine tree, majestic and dignified.

There is a rubbing of Bao Gong's stone carving in the second hall, with clear and vivid lines.

"If later generations and descendants commit crimes of corruption, they shall not be released from their families; if they die, they shall not be buried in a large tomb. If they do not follow my will, they shall not be my descendants." Li Luotang recited the family motto that Bao Gong left behind on the stone wall.

At noon, Li Luotang entered a restaurant by the lake and found that the restaurant was selling Taoist dishes.

Li Luotang ordered two dishes: "Sauce lotus meat, green vegetable pine."

The meat of lotus sauce is said to be meat, but it is actually made of dried white tofu and uses vegetarian dishes to make the meat flavor.

To be precise, this dish should be called vegetarian meat with lotus sauce, and the taste is: the sauce is fresh and rich and mellow.

After lunch, Li Luotang went to Daxiangguo Temple. Without Gu Ting-hyun by her side, she did not speak loudly, attracting monks from Daxiangguo Temple to popularize Buddhist knowledge for her.
