With a touch of sadness, Li Jin and Zhou Qingmo left Tianjie and continued to climb. Going forward, they reached the Bixia Temple at the top of Mount Tai. {Update uploaded by book friends}
The Bixia Temple is a group of magnificent ancient mountain buildings, consisting of twelve groups of large buildings such as the main hall and the incense pavilion. The Bixia Temple and the Dai Temple at the foot of the mountain complement each other and become the two largest ancestral temples in Mount Tai.
The Bixia Temple is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun. Everyone who has been to Mount Tai, whether foreign guests or domestic guests, has not failed to pay homage to Bixia Yuanjun, the goddess of Mount Tai.
Bixia Yuanjun is also known as the Jade Girl of Mount Tai, and is also known as the Jade Fairy of Mount Tai, Grandma of Mount Tai, etc. Taoism believes that Yuanjun Bixia "protects all living beings and has a spiritual response to the nine states." ". She is an important goddess in Taoism and one of the most influential goddesses in Chinese history.
Bixia Yuanjun is the legendary jade girl under the Yellow Emperor. When the Yellow Emperor built the Daiyue Temple, he sent seven girls to Mount Tai to meet the real person Xikun. Later, they became immortals through Taoism. Around Mount Tai, the status of the jade girls from Taishan is even equal to that of the Queen Mother of the West. One or two.
Even throughout Shandong, people's belief in Bixia Yuanjun is extremely strong. As a goddess, folklore says that she has great magical powers and can bless farming, business, travel, marriage, cure diseases, and most importantly, can make women give birth to children, and mother and child are safe. , the children are fine, so women are most devoted to Bixia Yuanjun.
For this reason, people take great pains to climb to the top of Mount Tai, make wishes and pray to him, and keep the incense burning. Elderly people who cannot come in person have to ask their children to come and worship on their behalf.
According to legend, Bixia Yuanjun and Dongyue Emperor, the god of Mount Tai, are father and daughter. One person occupies the top of Mount Tai and the other occupies the bottom of Mount Tai. This is also the reason why Dai Temple is located at the foot of the mountain.
Because Emperor Dongyue controls life and death, the people are more in awe of him. Therefore, whether in terms of incense or intimacy, Bixia Yuanjun has more believers.
Of course, because Emperor Dongyue is the communicator between heaven and earth, and is the patron saint of emperors who have been ordered by heaven to govern the world, the status of Emperor Dongyue is still unquestionable.
This Bixia Yuanjun Hall is known among the people as Taishan Grandma Temple. Zhou Qingmo and his mother have been here twice, and they have also accompanied their grandmother and grandmother, so they can be considered regular visitors. As a native of Tai'an, Zhou Qingmo and his family are all followers of Bixia Yuanjun.
?According to Zhou Qingmo¡¯s grandma. Grandma Taishan is very effective. People have also given many beautiful legends.
It is said that a long time ago, the Xuzhou area suffered from a severe plague and many people died. Some rich and powerful people rode horses and sedan chairs to Dongyue Taishan, six or seven hundred miles away from Xuzhou, and asked Emperor Dongyue to bless them. However, many poor people had no money and had to sit at home and wait for death. **-< Shuhai Pavilion >-* And the daughter of Emperor Dongyue. She was a very kind-hearted woman, Bixia Yuanjun, commonly known as "Grandma Taishan". She was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time. When she learned about the situation, she was very anxious and wanted to save the victims in the fire and water, so she decided to go to Xuzhou alone to rescue the victims. Many people eliminate disasters and solve problems.
But her family members were worried about her because she was still young and alone, so they refused to agree. This made Xiao Bixia anxious. At this time, Uncle Cao found out and expressed his willingness to escort Grandma Taishan to Xuzhou. After a long and arduous journey and the careful care of their uncle along the way, the two finally arrived in Xuzhou and quickly defeated the god of plague. He also treated diseases and disasters for the people who came from all over. In order to commemorate Grandma Taishan's merits, people specially built a palace for her.
? Same. Uncle Cao Shan is not only meritorious in protecting the emperor, but he is also honest, upright, willing to do good, and hates evil as much as he hates it. People will never forget Uncle Cao Shan. After the Empress Palace was built, people built Cao Shan Pavilion. Inside it sat a statue of Uncle Cao Shan. From then on, he guarded the intersection at the foot of the mountain all the year round to prevent demons from going up the mountain to cause damage, and told people about it. "You will get blessings if you do good deeds, and you will suffer disaster if you do bad deeds. The principle of karma and retribution persuades people in the world to change their minds to do good."
Zhou Qingmo seemed to be a young believer. He told Li Jin seriously that Grandma Taishan was very kind-hearted and compassionate. As long as you sincerely prayed and made wishes to her, Grandma Taishan would often help you solve your problems. But if your wish comes true, Don¡¯t forget to fulfill your wish to Grandma Taishan. Grandma Taishan likes beauty. When she returns her wish, in addition to presenting colorful fruits to the old man, she also buys her a bouquet of flowers.
Li Jinxiao, he already knew from the true shape map of the Five Mountains that this power of faith is actually mutual. People believe in the gods, and the power of faith has actually been gathered together, just like ordinary people buying insurance. As long as he is in trouble, the power of faith will be given to believers more, giving believers the determination to fight against difficulties. Of course, there is no real miracle in the power of faith. After all, it is just a spiritual force. The power of faith can only It gives people the determination to fight against difficulties, and this illusory power also gives people certain effects at certain times.
Like Zhou Qingmo¡¯s grandma said, her heart actually believed that Grandma Taishan helped her to overcome difficulties.?Her usual belief is that Grandma Taishan will help her, so she is not afraid of difficulties, and she will believe even more in the future.
The ownerless power of faith that Li Jin felt in the Dai Temple was contributed by people. Perhaps, in the ancient times of gods, these powers of faith would be absorbed by the gods of faith, and then It can save all sentient beings, but now it can only spread between heaven and earth. This kind of power is not something that humans can absorb, and no practitioner can absorb it. But Li Jin doesn't know why, but he can pass the power of the true shape diagram of the Five Mountains. The law is slowly absorbed.
When they came to Bixia Temple, Zhou Qingmo insisted on offering a stick of incense, so Li Jin had no choice but to obey her. As a place where incense is most prosperous, a stick of incense can cost hundreds. Just like that, there are countless people queuing up, looking at the hundreds of people in front of them. The long queue made Li Jin's head hurt.
When it was finally their turn, before even stepping into the Bixia Temple, Li Jin felt the power of faith that was more abundant than that in the Dai Temple. The density of these powers of faith was astonishingly high, and it had even begun to condense into a new form. , blending into the surroundings.
Being so close, Li Jin could even feel that when Zhou Qingmo burned incense and knelt down, a faint power of faith slowly flew out of her body and floated in the air. However, since there was no longer any god, Therefore, after searching in the mid-air for a while, the power of faith gradually dissipated and merged into the mid-air of Bixia Temple. These powers of faith merged with each other and gathered in the sky above Bixia Temple. In Li Jin's eyes, it was like a flower. The golden clouds sparkle with gurgling golden light, and from time to time, the power of faith condenses into raindrops and falls, dripping onto the believers' bodies, and immediately turns into a trace of strange power and enters the human body.
Of course, Zhou Qingmo couldn¡¯t see the strange sight in Li Jin¡¯s eyes. In fact, not only Zhou Qingmo couldn¡¯t see it, but also the thousands of tourists present.
And even practitioners, including the elders of the Ethereal Sect, who have not practiced the True Shape Map of the Five Mountains, cannot actually observe this power of faith. This power of faith is not originally usable by human practitioners. , is completely different from the aura absorbed by practitioners. Reiki is a gift from nature, a product of the creation of heaven and earth, and is the foundation for the evolution of practitioners. However, the power of faith comes from the human heart and is an acquired thing.
In Li Jin¡¯s view, the power of faith is like electricity. It can be regarded as energy and can be stored. Compared with spiritual power, its effect is much smaller, but it is not afraid of being used up and can be continuously generated.
Feeling a drop of raindrops condensed by the power of faith on the skin, it entered the body in an instant. Li Jin could clearly feel that although the power of faith could not immediately improve the vitality of the human body like spiritual energy entering the human body, it would strengthen the body. The power can automatically enter the spiritual consciousness. The Taishan Talisman in the divine consciousness immediately sends out an attraction, absorbing this power of faith, and the Taishan Talisman immediately becomes stronger.
Li Jin was overjoyed. The power of faith here was so strong that it was unexpected. If Bixia Yuanjun was still there, he might have immediately gained a level of strength, but now he can only stay in the sky.
Of course, this power of faith will not have that much effect when it falls on ordinary people. Just like Zhou Qingmo, when the raindrops of the power of faith entered her body, she did not notice anything. She just felt better and energetic. Feeling more satisfied, as if drinking a bottle of cold drink in the dog days of summer. This good mood, in Zhou Qingmo's opinion, is just the result of being happy to come here, and he can't think of any other reasons.
Li Jin was very happy. As expected, it was not in vain. He successfully generated the Taishan talisman by himself in the Dai Temple at the foot of Mount Tai. And so much power of faith here that was almost condensed into liquid could make his talisman grow to an unimaginable level. The power of multiple faiths may have been gathered here for thousands of years, but it has not been absorbed at all. It seems that it is just waiting for itself, which is an advantage to itself.
The question now is how to find an opportunity to stay here. After all, it is not easy to absorb so much power of faith. After all, there are so many people. With the power of faith calculated in hundreds of millions per person, even if it is seen by the previous gods, it will The amount of jealousy is enough to directly evolve a small god into a higher god.
Because the power of faith falls from the sky all the time, the entire Bixia Temple is even shrouded in a faint light. This kind of light is naturally invisible to mortals, and only Li Jin can feel it, but it can make the devout among ordinary people, Or those who are particularly sensitive to spiritual power can still feel the extraordinaryness of these items, and these things are called consecrations and the like.
The buildings, household items, and even the ornaments in Bixia Temple are all made by ordinary people, but because they are bathed in the power of faith all the time, a little bit of the power of faith has been more or less penetrated, and these power of faith slowly transformed Hold these items and let them gradually turn into magical weapons.
Just like some murderous weapons were kept in temples by eminent monks in the past, it is actually the same principle to use the Buddha's light in the temple to resolve hostility.
These items are provided by? Different materials can absorb different powers of faith. For example, the power of faith contained in the statues carved from thousand-year-old camphor wood even made Li Jin unable to look at them. In his eyes, they were as dazzling as light bulbs.
Li Jin even had the idea of ??stealing it. If he took it away, it would be like a battery made of the power of faith. Fortunately, Zhou Qingmo prayed devoutly beside him and he gave up this idea. To be continued. .
