The left near the Lama Temple, originally quite a number of Buddhist temples, the former Yongzheng Emperor's hidden residence, has now become a Tibetan Buddhism in Beijing is quite important temple, the Institute of Science and Education manages the temple directory of Tibetan Buddhism, the status of the Lama Temple is very noble, according to example, the Buddhist temple near the left should also be very moist, but on this day, due to the invasion of foreigners in the old year, there is a Buddhist temple that is not very burned by the monks' candles, so it has been abandoned until now, the old year finally has craftsmen to build, successively built for a long time, about two years, This is embarrassing, I chose this day to prepare for the consecration, and I got up early to be in the market, but everyone is very strange, this is actually a Taoist temple.

Chinese people like to watch the excitement, not long is crowded with people, seeing the door lined up in two rows stretching for miles of road wearing cyan robes, with a copper lotus-shaped hairpin on the top of their heads, they immediately understood, "Ah, it turned out to be the Taoist temple of the White Lotus Sect." ”

"No wonder they dare to open a Taoist temple on the edge of the Lama Temple, and only the Taoist masters of the White Lotus Sect dare to do so. Let's go in and have a look. ”

The lotus petals in front of the gate are flying in the wind, the street is full of lotus fragrance, the eight Taoist priests who know the guests at the door are wearing jade-colored Taoist robes, waving the dust, going in and out together, just like a person, there are two classes of Taoist priests wearing dark red Taoist robes in the view to knock the chime and beat the bell, chant Taoist songs, the tune is graceful, make people smell intoxicated, many monks and nuns have come to the door one after another, there are also shamans, Western priests and others, all of them are the representatives of each religion in Beijing. Together, the people seem to have come almost, but it seems that the Taoist people are still waiting outside the gate, and even a round and fat middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe walked out, and all the Taoist priests saw this fat man, and they all bowed their heads, "Sect Master." ”

"It turns out that this Dao Master is the Sect Master of the White Lotus Sect," an idler said, touching his chin. "It doesn't look like a fairy wind bone."

"Hey, you know what!" An aunt on the side scolded the idler, looked at the Taoist priest obsessively, folded her hands, and chanted the Buddha's name, "Longevity is not an old mother!" This sect leader is very powerful. In the past, in Xinjiang, thousands of thieves were blown down in one breath, and a flying sword was released, thousands of miles away, the head of the white tiger was cut off, the white tiger had practiced the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, and was killed by the sect leader at once, the sect leader is a great hero to protect the country, you can't talk nonsense! ”

The idler laughed. "What white tiger, it's just Bai Yanhu, right? He has practiced the golden bell jar, and it is simple to break him, as long as he uses the ......" idle man has not said anything, the sound of drum music at the door of the Taoist temple is loud, covering the sound of gossip, and the idle man no longer speaks, but just stretches his head. Looking at the street at the door, after the honor guard gongs and drums. Two signs appeared, "Rikkyoyuan Shangshu".

"Ouch, it's the Shangshu of the Academy of Science and Education who is here, this White Lotus Sect has a really big face!"

The sedan curtain was opened, and the Shangshu of the Institute of Science and Education got off the sedan chair, and the head of the White Lotus Sect, Chang Qingzi, bowed slightly, "The jade toe of the labor Shangshu is here in Hanwei." It is really a sin, and the whole sect feels the kindness of the court. ”

Zai Ling said with a smile, "It's okay, this is the duty of this official, your White Lotus Sect is now washing away the past." To become a good teacher for the protection of the country, how can I, the scholar of the Institute of Science and Education, not come? ”

The two of them stood at the door and talked, and did not go in, as if they were still waiting for someone, and after half a cup of tea, another honor guard arrived, among which was a black horse-drawn Western carriage, and when they arrived, everyone who had seen the world knew that this must be the prince's guard of honor, but they didn't know which prince it was.

The door of the carriage was opened, and a young man in his thirties came down, wearing a four-regiment dragon patch suit, with a short beard on his upper lip, striding up the steps, looking very capable, and saluted with Changqingzi, "Seventh Prince." ”

"Excuse me," it was the seventh uncle of the Son of Heaven, the king of the Alcohol County, who waved his hand and stopped the two of them from saluting, "I was originally in Fengtai, but the emperor ordered me to come here today in place of him to add face to you, the sect leader, haha," the King of the Alcohol County smiled, "Long live the Lord went to Tianjin to greet the Queen Mother, otherwise he must have come today." ”

"It is also a great honor for the prince to come." Changqing Ziyuan had a smile on his face, "Please." ”

Standing on both sides of the door along the street along the street for a few miles of Taoist priests read out the Taoist number together, for a time resounded in the sky, and there are countless lotus petals from the air sprinkled and fell, the people were dumbfounded, thought that it was almost a miracle, the three of them under the escort of the guest, entered the Taoist temple, there are two rows of purple bamboo outside the main hall of the Taoist temple, and I don't know how to maintain the growth of this bamboo in the north, the front of the hall of white marble is paved with bluestone slabs, the king of alcohol looked at the regulation of the hall, and looked up at the flying eaves corner, Zai Ling knew what the king of alcohol wanted, Hurriedly said, "The regulations of this hall were reported to the emperor by the Military Aircraft Department, and there are only seven rooms, and compared with the palace in the big house, it is half lower, and it will not exceed the system." ”

King Alcohol nodded, "That's good." "Outside the main hall was already full of people, all of them were the three religious figures under the jurisdiction of the Rational Religion Yuan, the lama monk Daoni and others, as well as the Orthodox Christian Catholic bishops wearing black robes who wore white hats. The plaque on the top of the main hall is covered with red cloth, and there is a long golden rope hanging on both sides, Changqingzi asked the king of alcohol and Zai Ling to pull down the golden rope together, for the opening of this Taoist temple, the red cloth is removed, and it is impressively reproduced that it is the emperor's imperial pen that is "the view of cloud and dust" that is the emperor's imperial pen, and the plaque of the imperial gift is set up from top to bottom straight book, similar to the palace inscription, "cloud and dust view?" What's the saying that isn't? King Alcohol asked.

"The clouds are in the air, the dust falls on the earth, and those who are the Tao have the heart of the Tao of the clouds, and they must be down-to-earth for the people." Changqingzi replied with a smile while holding the whisk.

The Taoist priest of the White Lotus Sect sitting in front of the main hall saw that the cloud dust view revealed his true face, and the Taoist song sang again, resounding through the sky, "This is good," the king of the alcohol county nodded, "If you think so, you will definitely be able to enjoy the peace and spread the leaves, the book of Westerners says that when the dust reaches the air, when it meets the water, it becomes a cloud, the cloud is dust, and the dust is a cloud, and the two are one, so it seems that it is quite the same as the meaning of your Taoist view." ”

In the main hall, the two compartments are dedicated to the gods and Buddhas, the White Lotus Sect was originally a local religion, integrating the three religions, so the common people like to see the gods, such as the Niangniang, the God of Wealth, the land father-in-law, the dragon and the tiger Arhat, etc., are all present, in the center, on the three thrones carved by lotus patterns, on the right is the Maitreya Buddha who laughs with his chest and breasts, and on the left is an old man riding a green ox, and it is the Taishang Laojun Laozi, and the throne in the middle is empty.
