Chapter 1 Young Viewer
On the land of China, there have been countless famous mountains and rivers since ancient times, and the aura of heaven and earth.
In the southeast of China, there is a Qiyun Mountain.
Qiyun Mountain is more than 1,100 meters above sea level. Among the continuous peaks, there is a unique mountain. There are strange rocks and rocks on the mountain, waterfalls and streams, and the four seasons are gloomy, and there are endless birds and beasts.
And most of the top of the mountain is hidden in the clouds all year round, hazy, like a fairyland, Xiuzhen cave in the sky. In a loom, you can see a Taoist-like building on the top of the mountain.
The Taoist temple covers an area of about four or five hundred meters, with halls, side halls, Taoist houses, warehouses and other buildings. Although the sparrow is small, it also has all the internal organs. It's just that nowadays, many houses are peeled off with paint, and there are a lot of dilapidated places. Although it was extremely clean, it was difficult to hide the dilapidated image.
Feiyun Guan, which is the name of the Taoist temple built on the top of Qiyun Mountain.
It is said that the Feiyun Temple was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and replaced with the current Gregorian calendar year, that is, after 1821. Now it is the 21st century, and in general, it has a history of 170 years.
Originally, it was a jungle temple, which was jointly owned by all Taoist people in the world. All French disciples belonging to Taoism have the right to move in and even manage the temple affairs.
It's just that after more than a hundred years, the world has changed and continued to develop, and fewer and fewer Taoist priests have come to this Feiyunguan. Later, no foreign Taoist priests settled in, and this flying cloud view gradually developed in the direction of the descendants temple, and the masters and apprentices began to pass on from generation to generation. Up to now, it has completely become a temple of descendants, and the master has passed away.
In fact, it's a descendant temple, but it's just making some face.
The real situation is that there are fewer and fewer Taoist priests nowadays. Even if most of them are willing to become monks, they have gone to Quanzhen. Zhengyi has been passed down for thousands of years, and they need to be famous and have resources. Who would come to this small place to be a Taoist priest?
In desperation, the masters of the flying cloud view of all dynasties had to go down the mountain to adopt some orphans and teach them carefully. When they grew up, they also justly inherited this flying cloud view. It is so repeated, but it barely maintains the "Taoism" of Feiyunguan, which has been insisted on in the mouth of the masters of all dynasties.
The master of this generation of Feiyun Guanguan is a Taoist priest whose Taoist name is Jingchen. According to the past, the Taoist priest of Jingchen adopted an abandoned orphan as early as more than ten years ago, and took the Taoist name Yi Qing.
It is said to be a Taoist name, but in fact, it can't be used as a name. Later, he adopted three orphans one after another, the four brothers of Yi Qing.
The whole Feiyun View, in the generation of Master Yi Qing, there are only five big cats and kittens combined.
At this moment, on a mountain peak near the Feiyunguan, there are four young Taoists standing silently, all with sad faces. The four Taoist men were all wearing antique Taoist robes, but the knees of the Taoist robes were covered with mud.
And the original plain Taoist robe seems to have been washed more times, which seems to be a little white, and some places have many traces of sewing.
Four people stood quietly, but the most conspicuous one was a young Taoist about 20 years old.
On the one hand, the other three of the four have been crying all the time. Although this person's eyes are also red, he has never let tears flow down. On the other hand, the other three are all long hair and wearing a Taoist bun. This person is a rather modern head, which seems to be a little out of place with the simple Taoist robe. The feeling.
This person is Yi Qing.
Looking at the newly raised tomb bag in front of him, Yi Qing only felt that his heart was full of sadness.
Although the Taoist priest of Jingchen practiced Taoism all his life, there is no way to live forever in the world. In his eighties, he finally feathered away a few days ago. It can also be regarded as the end without illness, free and feathering. However, for Yi Qing's four brothers, the death of the master who adopted himself and others from an early age is a shocking sad news.
Although the law of cremation is popular in the world today, for Taoist people, it is natural to pay attention to the safety of being in the earth. In grief, Yi Qing also forced himself to lead the three younger brothers to arrange the after-the-morse for the master. Just select the yin house near this Feiyunguan and put the master into the ground.
Yi Qing was picked up by the Taoist priest Jingchen from the garbage can, and he was also the first orphan adopted by the Taoist priest Jingchen. Therefore, compared with the three younger brothers, Yi Qing has been with the master for the longest time.
At this time, standing in front of the master's grave, I remembered the careful care of the master in the past, playing the role of a strict master. Hearing the sobs of the three brothers behind him, Yi Qing's tears surged into his eyes several times, but he was forced back by him.
The younger brothers can cry, but he can't. He is the eldest brother. After the master left, he became the viewer of the next generation of Feiyunguan. Everything in Feiyunguan depends on him to maintain it.
Since China entered the reform and opening up, the living standards of the people have improved rapidly. There is more and more money left in the wallet, and naturally begins to pay attention to spiritual enjoyment. Therefore, the number of visitors between the famous mountains and Daze in China has suddenly increased.
Qiyun Mountain is also a little famous in the southeast of China. Every year, it naturally attracts a lot of tourists. It's just that Qiyun Mountain can't compete with Wuyi, Lushan, Huangshan and other places after all. There is no extra money to open up the mountain road and repair the Taoist temple, so there is very little incense money every year.
The passing of Feiyunguan to the generation of Jingchen Taoist priest is a faint sign that it is difficult to maintain. Usually, relying on the name of the Taoist priest of Jingchen, he can also do some legal things in these nearby towns. Coupled with a little incense money from tourists in the past year, they can barely survive.
Now that Jingchen Road has passed away, Yi Qing asked himself that with his own name, he did not have the ability to mix in this town. Relying on the unpredictable tourist's incense money, Yi Qinglian is not sure whether he can support the four brothers.
"Master, the disciple will definitely revitalize the flying cloud view to comfort the master's spirit in heaven!"
He whispered, and Yi Qing's white palm suddenly clenched. He bent his knees and knelt down respectfully again. I don't care about the mud and sand all over the ground, the sharp rocks, my forehead touches the ground, and my expression is full of firmness.
When the three people behind him saw Yi Qing like this, they immediately knelt down and looked extremely firm.
"Master, don't worry, we will definitely help the eldest brother to revitalize the flying cloud view."
A slightly calm voice came from behind him, which made Yi Qing's heart warm. The owner of this voice knows that it is his second brother Yi Xu without looking at it. Yi Xu was adopted by the master two years later than himself, but his character is sometimes much more stable than himself.
Behind Yi Xu is the third brother Yi Chen, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, and his nature is the most off-off. Yi Jing, the youngest fourth brother, is only ten years old this year, and he is also the younger brother who is most dependent on him. After all, he is only a child. The master is old, and many things are taken care of by himself.
Although the three younger brothers have different characteristics, they have always respected Yi Qing.
Hearing Yi Xu's words at this moment, Yi Qing's heart was also slightly warm. The master is gone, and he still has three younger brothers around him!
"Yi Xu, after I go down the mountain, this Taoist temple will be taken care of by you. The master left some money when he was alive, and with that incense money, he could hold on for a period of time. I'll go down the mountain to collect money and will be right back.
After knocking three heads again, Yi Qing stood up and said to Yi Xu behind him.
This is what the four people have discussed. If you want to revitalize the Flying Cloud View, it is hopeless to stay in the Taoist temple and wait for the charity of the sknitary. After thinking about it, he immediately decided to go down the mountain to see if he could make some money. As for the matter in Guanli, the second brother Yi Xusu is stable and wants to be able to maintain it.
"We will definitely guard the Taoist temple and wait for the eldest brother to come back." Yi Xu looked at Yi Qing and said firmly. Taoism is not only for Yi Qing. For the three people of Yi Xu, it is also their home, from childhood to big life.
"Big brother, you must come back soon."
The master just passed away, and his eldest brother, who loved him most, was about to go down the mountain. Yi Jing, who finally stopped his tears, suddenly began to cry again. There were two tears on his little face, and he rushed to Yi Qing with choking and said.
Seeing Yi Jing crying, Yi Qing's heart was also in pain, but she forced herself to smile. She squatted down to wipe the tears on Yi Jing's face and whispered:
"The eldest brother just went down the mountain for a while, and he must bring a lot of sugar-coated haws back for Yi Jing to eat. During this period, Yi Jing is not allowed to be lazy. She has to have morning classes and read scriptures every day. Do you know?
With that, Yi Qing glanced at Yi Xu and Yi Chen on the side. Yi Jing is only ten years old and still needs the care of her two brothers.
"Don't worry, big brother. Yi Jing will be very good." Before Yi Xu and the other two opened their mouths, Yi Jing himself made a promise in front of Yi Qing. After all, the child's heart was coaxed by Yi Qing and stopped crying, but two red tears were still hanging on his face.
"Let's look back first. The master is gone, and we should be more self-disciplined. I'll leave tomorrow."
