Not sure how much time had passed, Huang Huai let out a long breath, stretched out his hand to put away the two incense sticks, bowed to several gods, and turned around to leave the hall.
This world
Huang Huai made some arrangements for the Tai'an Mansion and returned to the present world without hesitation.
Jiuling Mountain God is always a hidden danger. If there is no solution, Huang Huai will definitely not be so anxious, but now that he has figured out a countermeasure, Huang Huai naturally feels more and more insecure.
Walking out of the warehouse, he was greeted by a warm spring breeze, which only made Huang Huai slightly stunned. With a glance, Huang Huai saw the time and date displayed on an eye-catching screen.
"It's been a few months already!"
Huang Huai didn't expect that it was still the twelfth lunar month of winter when he left, so that so much time had passed in a blink of an eye in a different world. He didn't know what was going on at home or what was going on at the Seeking Truth Guan.
With this in mind, Huang Huai returned to the villa, changed his clothes and headed towards Qixia Peak.
Compared with the previous time, Huanghuai can clearly feel that there are more tourists going to Qixia Peak this time. The most important thing is that the road up the mountain has been well repaired and widened. Compared with before, it can be said that it is almost The trail has two lanes running parallel in both directions.
Along the way to Qixia Peak, we saw the crowded Xunzhen Temple in the distance in Huanghuai. Those who didn’t know it thought we were at some kind of temple fair. It was so crowded.
"This is too exaggerated. Could it be that the Qixia Peak Grottoes are already open to the public?"
Huang Huai only had such a guess in his mind, because this was the only possibility that could create such a huge crowd of people.
You must know that in order to make the popularity of Qixiafeng Grottoes benefit the Truth-seeking Temple, Huang Huai spent a lot of effort to specially open one of the external passages to the Qixiafeng Grottoes near the viewing platform. It can be said that as long as those surveying and archeology The personnel can find that passage with a little exploration.
As for the last ten feet of stone wall that has not yet been broken through, Huang Huai believes that with modern means, it will take at most one day to cut through the stone wall and completely open that passage.
Qixia Peak has opened two passages to the Huanghuai River, one leading to the bottom of the cliff and the other leading to the top of the cliff, both of which have not been completely opened.
With the Qixia Peak Grottoes' current fame and the sensation it has caused around the world, it is foreseeable that at least tens of millions of tourists will come to visit it every year.
With such a huge flow of people, only two entrances and exits may not be enough. However, Huang Huai believes that with modern people's methods and technology, it is not difficult to build several skyscraper cableways and other passages.
Approaching the Xunzhen Temple, Huang Huai clearly noticed that many tourists entered the Xunzhen Temple first, and then passed through the entire Xunzhen Temple, which had been repaired and expanded, towards the observation deck.
Over at the observation deck, tourists were lining up to disappear into an underground entrance. As Huang Huai had guessed, the entrance and exit he had specially reserved had been opened.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. For such a big discovery, after confirming that it has no other special value, the official will definitely not close it.
Then opening it up to the outside world, welcoming visitors from all directions, and vigorously developing the tourism economy has naturally become the first choice.
Wudang Mountain itself is a well-known tourist attraction, and the Zixiao Palace on Wudang Mountain is even more famous. However, the appearance of Qixiafeng Grottoes this time has suddenly boosted the tourism industry in Wudang Mountain.
When millions of tourists flock in from all directions, although these people come first and foremost for the Qixiafeng Grottoes, they are all here. It is definitely impossible to only visit the Qixiafeng Grottoes and also visit the Zixiao Palace. And other scenic spots on Wudang Mountain are also inevitable.
Today, it can be said that every scenic spot on Wudang Mountain is full of tourists, which has truly promoted the development of the local tourism economy.
It can be said that the economic benefits that the arrival of so many tourists can bring are visible to the naked eye, and the local government is doing its best to provide convenient services for these tourists.
Under the advice of experts, three skyscraper ropeways have been officially launched and are expected to be completed within half a year, and three passages in and out of the grotto will be opened.
In fact, the two entrances and exits reserved by Huanghuai are simply not enough to accommodate so many tourists. If we can't find a way to open up new channels, the limit of being able to accommodate one or two million tourists a day is already high, or even under overload condition.
As the crowd walked into the Truth-seeking Temple, Huang Huai felt the strong scent of incense blowing against his face. Just standing in front of the statue dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu, Huang Huai couldn't help but marvel at it with his inner eyes.
No wonder Huang Huai was so surprised. Huang Huai had previously compared the accumulated incense and wish power of the statue of Emperor Zhenwu enshrined in the temple of the Master of Xunzhen Temple with the one enshrined in the Zixiao Palace.
If the accumulated incense and wish power of the statue in Zixiao Palace is like a pond, then the accumulated incense and wish power of the statue in Xunzhen Temple can only be regarded as a pool of spring water at most. The difference between the two is at least ten times.
But it has only been a few months, and the incense and wish power accumulated by the main statue in the main temple has expanded countless times.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Huai glanced across the main temple but did not see anyone from the Great Passage. Huang Huai was quite puzzled. Based on his understanding of the people from the Great Passage, if there was nothing wrong with the Great Passage, Huang Huai People will definitely stay in the main temple.
Just as he was wondering, a voice suddenly came from behind and said: "Hey, Temple Master, you are back!"
Huang Huai looked back and saw Sun Chen looking at him with joy.
Huang Huai smiled and said to Sun Chen: "I just came back, why don't I see the master?"
Sun Chen heard this and said: "Isn't there a leader from above who came to visit the grotto? Master, as a member of the Taoist Association, is also the person in charge of our Truth-Seeking Temple. Since you are not here, Master, I have to accompany him to the grotto in person." ”
When Huang Huai heard what Sun Chen said, he couldn't help but cough slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "But it's Mr. Hardworking Master."
Sun Chen chuckled and joked: "You are the most comfortable person I have ever seen working as a hands-off shopkeeper."
Huang Huai laughed loudly and said to Sun Chen: "If I remember correctly, after the renovation of our Seeking Truth Monastery, there should be a few more side halls. Are all the side halls open to the public now?"
Sun Chen heard this and said: "In addition to the statues enshrined in Erlang Zhenjun Hall, Killing Guanyin Hall, and Guan Sheng Emperor Hall as you ordered before, there are several other side halls that are still closed because they do not enshrine suitable sacred objects. ."
Huang Huai nodded slightly.
Signaling Sun Chen to go to work, Huang Huai went back to his residence.
He called his parents and told him that he had returned to Xunzhen Temple. Huang Huai was told on the spot to wait for them at Xunzhen Temple and stop running around. They would go up the mountain to see him in the afternoon.
Huang Huai couldn't help but smile bitterly. He went to another world but ignored the time, so that he missed the Spring Festival here.
This is the first time in his life that he has not spent the Spring Festival with his family. No wonder Chu Xiu chatted for a long time after the call was answered.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Huai contacted Shi Ting again and asked about the current operation of the company, although he occasionally found time to come back and take away the ash from the warehouse.
But if you do the math, almost half a month has passed since the last time. No wonder when he came back, the warehouse was almost full of collected incense ash.
After listening to Shi Ting's report on the company's situation, generally speaking, Huang's father was responsible for controlling the company, and everything was normal and there were no problems.
After briefly explaining a few words to Shiting, Huang Huai thought about the purpose of his return, and after a moment of pondering, he left his residence and headed towards the newly built side halls of the Seeking Truth Temple.
Including the newly built side halls, the area of Xunzhen Temple has almost doubled or tripled, and it can be regarded as somewhat of a large-scale Taoist temple.
If it is still a small Taoist temple like before, I am afraid that no matter how slow these tourists walk, it will not take more than an hour to visit the Taoist temple.
Because these side halls are not open to the public, the doors of the halls are closed, but there are not many tourists around. Many of them find stone benches and chairs to sit there and rest.
I saw a few young people who looked like college students gathering together under a pavilion.
One of them held up a ticket in his hand with a bit of excitement and said: "The tickets for this grotto are really hard to grab. It has been open to the public for a month, and it is still hard to get a ticket. I have been grabbing it for a whole month." I got the tickets now."
Someone complained with a bit of pride: "Our entire school has nearly 10,000 people. Sometimes not even one person can get it in a day. Just tell me how difficult it is to get a ticket."
A female voice said: "Fortunately, the official ticket purchase platform limits each ID number to only purchase tickets once a month, and the ID card must be matched with the ticket to avoid scalpers as much as possible. Otherwise, we may be afraid. No one can grab it.”
"Hey, you don't know. I grabbed a ticket and our entire department was in a sensation. This time I came on behalf of our entire department. When we enter the grotto later, I will broadcast it live for everyone to see. "
"I am also the only one in our school who got a ticket. Hahaha, I never thought that I would become so famous all my life because I got a ticket for a tourist attraction."
"Can this be an ordinary ticket? This is the ticket recognized as the number one miracle in the world. Remember, this is a miracle, not a miracle."
Huang Huai, who was listening to the conversation of several people on the side, understood to some extent that these students were actually students from several universities across the country. Because he had grabbed tickets to enter the Qixia Peak Grottoes on the same day, he burned incense and prayed at the Xunzheng Temple. Get to know each other and prepare to go down to the grotto together.
Many tourists around the world couldn't help but look envious when they heard the conversation between these students. As we all know, tickets to Qixiafeng Grottoes are hard to come by. At least tens of millions of people around the world compete for hundreds of thousands of tickets every day. The difficulty can be imagined.
It can be said that everyone who can grab a ticket is one of a million.
Through the reactions of these people, Huang Huai can truly feel the popularity of Qixia Peak Grottoes. Even after such a long time, its popularity is still high.
Walking to a side hall, Huang Huai took out the key and opened the door to the surprised eyes of some people. He walked into the hall and closed the door before the tourists outside could realize what was going on.
He had something to do here, and if some curious tourists followed him in, he might as well not do anything else.
After making sure to close the door of the palace, Huang Huai took a look at this side hall.
It is said to be a side hall, but actually compared to the entire Erxunzhen Temple, this is a complete palace, divided into the main hall and the supporting left and right side halls.
The entire palace is empty, but it is fully equipped with the altar table, incense burner, etc. It can be said that it only needs to enshrine the idol before it can be opened to the outside world to welcome pilgrims and believers.
As soon as I thought about it, I saw three statues of gods appearing in front of me, each one a lifelike painted ceramic statue.
You must know that these statues were made by Huang Huai himself according to the appearance of Empress Sanxiao in the memory of Erlang Xiansheng. It can be said that they have both form and spirit. At first glance, they really thought that Empress Sanxiao had come to the world.
After enshrining the statue of Empress Sanxiao, Huang Huai put aside the statues of the boy and the goddess that had been prepared in advance.
The temple of Empress Sanxiao is called the Empress Temple among the people, and she is regarded as the Empress who gives birth to children. She is deeply loved by the people. It can be said that apart from Guanyin, Empress Sanxiao is one of the few people who is regarded as the Empress who gives birth to children. sacred.
Huang Huai placed another statue of Guanyin and the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming in the side hall.
After doing this, Huang Huai nodded with satisfaction, pushed the door open, and hung a plaque on the lintel of the side hall. The big words "Empress Hall" were very eye-catching.
The palace door opened, and Huang Huai walked out of the Empress's Palace. Soon, tourists noticed the open door, and even saw the lifelike statues in the palace.
"Hey, this Truth-seeking Temple has added the Empress Hall. It looks like it is dedicated to Empress Sanxiao."
Someone said to Huang Huai: "Master Taoist, is the Empress Hall open to the public?"
Huang Huai glanced at everyone, nodded with a smile and said: "As long as the temple door is open in the Seeking Truth Temple, it is an area open to the outside world for all tourists to visit."
After hearing this, many people immediately walked towards the Queen's Palace.
"I have always heard of the name of Empress Sanxiao, but this is really the first time I have seen the statue of Empress Sanxiao."
However, many of the tourists were well-informed, and they immediately spread the legend and the reason why Empress Sanxiao was revered as the Empress giving birth to children.
Soon the aroma of incense filled the palace.
With the continuous flow of tourists entering the Seeking Truth Temple, the amount of incense brought by nearly 100,000 tourists a day is definitely an astonishing number.
In the evening, Huang Huai saw the red-faced Datong people.
Da Dao Dao people wear Taoist robes, and their many years of living in Taoist temples have already cultivated that elegant and earthly atmosphere. However, the man in his seventies has a rosy face with not many wrinkles, especially his strong skills, which are in his thirties and forties. No middle-aged person can compare with it.
It can be said that many of the leaders who entered the grotto together were sore after almost a day of walking around. However, the Datong people were full of energy throughout the whole process and did not feel tired at all. Many people asked Datong people for their health tips. .
The Da Dao people are well aware of their own changes, and it is obviously impossible for them to tell the existence of such precious things as the Jade Rejuvenating Tea, Incense Rice, and the Yuan Buying Pill.
However, Da Dao people use the Taoist method of maintaining health to explain it. Think less, worry less, be neither sad nor happy, nor panic. If you practice the Taoist method of breathing and nourishing the mind, as long as you persist for many years, you will definitely be like him over seven years old. Xun is still in good shape.
Looking at Huang Huai, the man in Datong was just stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I thought you forgot that you are still the master of the Seeking Truth Temple."
Huang Huai chuckled and said, "Master, what are you talking about? I'm too busy."
Huang Huai rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I don't say a word of truth. Anyway, you are an elusive kid. Just make sure you know what's going on."
As he spoke, the man from Datong said to Huang Huai: "Boy, your rice has bottomed out. Have you prepared anything for me when you come back this time? Otherwise, I will have to shamelessly go to your father to ask for it."
Huang Huai heard this and said: "No one's supply will be short of yours, master. I have already put it in your room. This time it will be enough for you, master, to enjoy for a year."
The man in Datong said with a smile: "Good boy, it's not in vain that I love you so much, master."
While walking towards his residence, the man from the main passage said: "I have something to tell you. Those side halls have been renovated years ago. In addition to enshrining the True Monarch of Qingyuan Miaodao, Guan Sheng Emperor, and Shasheng Apart from Guanyin, several other side halls have been idle. Will you take care of this matter when you come back this time?"
Huang Huai smiled and said: "I have just enshrined the statue of Empress Sanxiao in one of them. From now on, that side hall will be the Empress Hall."
The people in the main passage were slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Empress Sanxiao is in charge of giving birth to children. If she is enshrined in the side hall, there will definitely be many pilgrims asking for children, so it is appropriate."
Huang Huai added: "In the remaining side halls, I plan to enshrine Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, Zhong Kui, the Holy Lord who blesses the house, the third prince Nezha, and Sun Wukong, the Monkey King."
The Datong man pondered for a while, glanced at Huang Huai and said: "Now that you have made a decision, then do what you want!"
Huang Huai was talking to the Datong people, listening to the Datong people telling him about the great changes on Qixia Peak during this period, when suddenly his cell phone rang.
Huang Huai answered the call and saw that it was his mother, so he hurriedly answered the call.
Knowing that his parents had arrived at Qixiafeng Resort Hotel and were waiting for him at the hotel, Huang Huai hurriedly said goodbye to everyone in Datong Road and rushed to the hotel.
Entering the huge suite, Huang Huai immediately felt several eyes looking at him. It was his mother, father and little sister.
After coughing lightly, Huang Huai smiled and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have come back during the Chinese New Year!"
Chu Xiu glared at Huang Huai and said, "I know you have something to do, but if you can spare time, you'd better go home and visit more often."
Although Chu Xiu and Huang Weimin didn't say anything, Huang Huai could feel the worry in his parents' hearts.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Huai nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
At this moment, Huang Shan ran over and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, you talked about it every day when I was away. Now that I am back, you have a straight face. Those who don't know think you want to teach me a lesson."
Chu Xiu stretched out her hand and tapped Huang Shan's forehead and said, "On weekdays, you talk about your brother the most. Why are you so honest at this time?"
Huang Shan smiled and said to Huang Huai: "Brother, you can accompany us to visit the Qixia Peak Grottoes tomorrow."
Huang Huai was stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Weimin subconsciously.
It is said that due to the truth-seeking relationship, if his father is willing, he can enter the grotto for a tour at any time.
Huang Weimin explained: "It's not Xiaoshan yet. She said that the first time you visit the grottoes, it must be a family together, so we have been waiting for you to come back."
Huang Shan approached Huang Huai and said, "Brother, have you brought me any gifts?"
Huang Huai smiled, reached out and took out a wooden box from his sleeve and said, "This is the gift I prepared for you and mom."
Huang Shan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She opened it immediately and saw pieces of lifelike gold jewelry in various shapes.
As a collection of Wanling Sect, these incense treasures are all the best among the best, so even Chu Xiu, who is used to seeing all kinds of jewelry, was surprised.
The mother and daughter came together to look at the jewelry one by one, while Huang Huai and Huang Weimin sat together drinking tea and chatting.
After having dinner with his parents and making an appointment with Huang Shan to visit the grottoes after dawn, Huang Huai returned to the Seeking Truth Monastery.
The next morning, Huang Huai got up early and did a set of boxing with the Datong people. Then he went to the hotel to have breakfast with his parents and younger sister. The family then headed to the entrance of the grotto near the observation deck.
Although it was just dawn, many tourists were already queuing up to check in and enter the grotto.
Huang Weimin took out a few tickets and entered smoothly.
This passage was specially left by Huang Huai. The passage is large enough to accommodate a large truck. Lights have been placed on the surrounding stone walls to illuminate the passage.
Because the figure is in a semi-enclosed space, every word he speaks seems quite abrupt, which causes many tourists to subconsciously lower their voices when speaking.
Although the grottoes were developed by the Huanghuai River, this is the first time that I have accompanied my family and visited so many tourists.
Soon Huang Huai and his party came to the dojo of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, and a smell of incense came to their faces.
Huang Huai saw a dense crowd of people burning incense and worshiping in front of the huge statue of Erlang Xiansheng. The incense was full of smell.
Seeing such a situation, Huang Huai couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously said: "No, is it allowed to burn incense here?"
Huang Shan smiled and said: "Otherwise, at the beginning many experts strongly recommended that tourists be prohibited from burning incense in the grottoes, but those devout believers couldn't bear to face such a miraculous statue. There were too many people burning incense, and everyone said it was unfair. Later, there was really no other way, and the official could only install additional ventilation facilities. Although the ban still existed, they turned a blind eye to everyone's behavior of burning incense. The eyes only serve to persuade, not to prohibit.”
Huang Huai couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He was previously worried about the official ban on burning incense in the grottoes. It seems that even the officials are not omnipotent.
Then Huang Huai looked towards the statue of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.
Under the observation of his mind, the colorful incense and wish power suddenly gathered on the statue of the god, covering the entire cave space with the god statue as the center. The power of the incense and wish was almost as powerful as the one he had seen not long ago on the statue of Emperor Zhenwu in the main temple of Xunzhen Temple. The power of the incense I saw was comparable to that of the incense.
In the Dantian Shrine, through Huang Huai's eyes, Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun also saw the massive incense power that enveloped his statue.
Even Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun couldn't help but be amazed by his determination.
Following the crowd, Huang Huai's family walked around and unknowingly visited various cave spaces.
The stone statue of Emperor Guan Sheng and the five hundred swordsmen are so murderous that people dare not look directly at them.
Lingxiao Palace Grottoes, Peach Feast Grottoes, and the Western Paradise, where many immortals, gods, and Buddhas gather together, each with its own characteristics, is breathtaking.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Grottoes make people feel the depth of humane civilization.
Being in the scene and watching the video are two completely different feelings. The sense of oppression coming from the tall statue cannot be clearly felt through the video.
It can be said that walking among the stone statues, many believers seem much more pious.
After passing through the eighteen levels of hell space, thoroughly touring the entire grotto space, exiting the grotto, exiting the mountain from the bottom of the cliff, and then taking the cableway back to the mountain, it was already nightfall, and it took a full day.
In the middle of the night, a figure quietly appeared in the grotto, avoiding all cameras.
In that space of the netherworld, Huang Huai stood in front of a powerful and ferocious statue.
Huang Huai paid special attention to this statue when he was traveling with his family before, thanks to his popularity and the large number of tourists.
This statue can be said to have accumulated a large amount of incense and wish power. The incense wish power is so full that it is almost as large as a small pond.
This saint is none other than Zhong Kui, who blesses the house, exorcises ghosts and evil judges, and is also known as the Heavenly Master. When many people mention Zhong Kui, their first impression is that of a door god who is famous for his ugly and ferocious appearance. In fact, this He was once named the Demon-Suppressing Emperor together with Emperor Guan Sheng.
Zhong Kui's being named the Demon-Conquering Emperor can be traced back to the Zhao and Song Dynasty royal families.
Under the successive titles of the Zhao and Song royal families, Zhong Kui was exorcised by the Holy Thunder to exorcise evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, and bless the house. It can be said that he was the first saint to be named the Demon-Conquering Great Emperor. However, in comparison, Zhong Kui The popularity of Emperor Fumo is much lower than that of Emperor Guan Sheng.
He saw Huang Huai bowing to the statue of Zhong Kui in front of him. With a thought, the statue of Zhong Kui suddenly disappeared, and then another identical statue appeared in the same place.
After doing this, Huang Huai looked around. Several rising and falling figures disappeared, but no one knew that the statue of Zhong Kui had been replaced among the stone statues in the Netherworld.
