Chapter 118: Viewing the homework
After Taoist Yunsheng made arrangements, Lingqing said again.
"From now on, in addition to their own work in the temple, morning and evening homework must not be delayed.
If I can get some Taoist charm, I will not hesitate to teach you some principles."
Not only were everyone happy to hear what he said, but even Taoist Yunsheng couldn't help but be happy.
After all, no matter how nice it is, it can't hide the fact that this Taoist temple was founded because of Lingqing.
What he came here to ask for was to be taught some principles by Lingqing.
It's not just him, it's the same for everyone else.
On the second day, before dawn, everyone gathered in Sanqing Hall.
At this time, apart from the three empty shrines side by side, there were only offering tables and a few futons in front of the shrines.
Since the statue of the god was not in place, some prayer flags, incense candles and the like were not put out.
Seeing that everyone was here and not late, Lingqing nodded and started singing.
"Linlang vibrates, and the ten directions are cleared.
The river and sea are silent, and the mountains swallow smoke.
…”
Behind him, Taoist Yunsheng, Lingzhenggu and Lingji also chanted together.
The others did not memorize all the scriptures during this period, so they had to read along with them a copy of the morning and evening homework scriptures copied by Lingqing.
Since no one in the temple knew any rhythm except Taoist Yunsheng, he and Lingqing were the only ones who played the wooden fish and the chime as accompaniment.
It starts with the rhyme of clarification, then the eight great divine mantras, the Taishang Laojun often says the Qingjing Sutra and other scriptures, and then it is finished by reciting the three pure treasures, the three emperors and the three officials.
There is a lot less content than ordinary temple courses.
Then he led everyone out of the gate and rehearsed the Wu Qin Opera on the platform of the square in front of the temple.
Everyone's training methods are different.
Taoist Yunsheng naturally learned a complete set of skills. He already had a foundation in martial arts and traveled thousands of miles to come here. Naturally, Lingqing would not treat him badly.
So I gave him the complete set of Wu Qin Xi.
"Wuqinxi
Quality: ordinary
By imitating the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird, it can achieve the function of strengthening the body and can transform into five animal forms.
characteristic:
1. Attribute improvement: When the skill entry level reaches the ordinary level, the character attributes can be increased to 10 points. After reaching the master level, the attributes can be increased to 15 points.
2. Animal transformation: After reaching the master level, you can learn five animal transformations.
(Note: You can also practice a certain act individually to the master level and learn the corresponding animal shape transformation.)"
This technique has not changed much in terms of improving attributes.
It's just that the animal that was originally a prerequisite was transformed into a skill characteristic.
Of course, the difficulty of upgrading has more than doubled, and you also need to observe animals and practice a certain scene thoroughly to obtain the corresponding transformation.
However, this feature is worthy of the difficulty.
Lingzhenggu, Lingji, and Wei Wenjun practiced the simplified version.
After all, an old man and two children cannot practice movements that are too motivating.
When your body becomes stronger in the future, it won't be too late to change.
The four of them, Ling Hongcai, only learned the introductory Kung Fu of the new version of Wu Qin Xi. When they improve in the future, they will be taught by Taoist Yunsheng respectively according to their performance.
I did the kung fu twice to stretch my muscles and bones.
After breakfast, I simply swept the temple and started my day's work.
The others did not say anything, Taoist Yunsheng made arrangements for themselves, while Lingqing took Lingji and Wenjun aside to make other arrangements.
Lingji still had to go to school and could only come to the Taoist temple on weekends, so Lingqing arranged some physical labor within his ability.
Such as carrying water and cutting firewood, etc., and also passed on the skill of collecting firewood to him.
The purpose is to let him sharpen his mind between the relaxation of school and the hard work of Taoism, so that he will not think that practicing Taoism is so easy.
Wenjun should have been in kindergarten, but before she came to Sangu, her life had been somewhat difficult.
Secondly, she has a withdrawn temperament, and I am worried that she will not be able to adapt. I hope she will get better when she is older.
I thought about letting her go directly to the primary school in the village. I also asked the teacher and said it would be no problem.
However, it seems that the effect is not very great. When I did morning class today, I didn't say a word.
Lingqing thought it was nothing, as long as he chanted along in his heart, and when his spiritual nature overflowed, he would naturally speak out.
Special arrangements were also made for her Lingqing.
It seemed before that she had some special perception of vegetation, birds and animals, so Lingqing gave her his previous book of nature.
You only need to take care of the vegetation, birds and animals in the mountains every day.
I don’t want her to do well, just to let her feel the joyful vitality of vegetation and the innocence of birds and animals.
In order to prevent her from becoming more withdrawn in the future, resulting in a dull temperament and a wrong mind.
The two children are still young, and Lingqing doesn't ask them to save the world at such a young age, so naturally he doesn't need to learn very powerful spells.
Now you just need to lay a good foundation and cultivate your own Tao charm. When your character is settled in the future, you will naturally make rapid progress when you start practicing again.
In the afternoon, everyone gathered in the temple again and listened to Taoist Yunsheng explaining some of the rules in the temple.
The bells and drums have not been delivered yet. When the bells and drums are ready, Ling Hongcai and Miao Chengzhi, who are responsible for ringing the bells and drums, will beat the drums and ring the bells every morning and evening.
Therefore, we must learn the method of tranquility in advance. In the future, everyone in the audience should listen to the bells and drums and chant sutras every day.
Also, after inviting the statue, how should you light candles and offer incense in the morning and evening, etc.
It is said that the Taoist temple is a pure practice, but if it is really in the temple, there is still a lot of busy work.
However, these seemingly formal actions can also make people clear their minds and understand the Tao, and the Tao heart can sprout.
Of course, you have to be seriously immersed in it before you count. If you only deal with superficial skills and don't do it from the heart.
Even if the bells and drums are broken, the scriptures are recited, the wax torches become rivers, and the incense and ashes become mountains, it will not help.
Apart from these, Lingqing is not in a hurry to teach anything, but only radiates his own Tao charm during morning and evening lessons.
As for what you can learn from it, it all depends on your personal nature.
Two days later, Lingji wanted to go back to the county town to go to school. Lingqing got him a scripture and told him to read it carefully in school and check it when he came back.
He also told him that no matter whether it was schoolwork or morning and evening scriptures, Wu Qin Xi should not be neglected.
Wenjun did the same and took out a scripture for her to read through after work.
Although he planned to take his two children as apprentices in order to pass on the Tao Qing Guan tradition in the future.
But it still needs some testing.
It depends on when they set their mind.
After his mind matures, if he is still willing to pursue the Tao wholeheartedly, Lingqing will naturally accept him as his disciple and pass on the techniques.
If your heart is attached to the world of mortals, then go for a walk in the world of mortals. When your heart changes after reading the thousand sails of the road, you will come back to seek the road again.
If they indulge in it, it is their own choice, and it is also a way of life.
Although the Great Way is boundless and there is a destiny for universal salvation, you have to be dedicated to the Way in order to see the door.
For several days, Lingqing helped Taoist Yunsheng take over Daoqing Temple smoothly, which was considered a handover.
After all, the purchase of some items was decided before, and now they are coming one after another.
Chapter completed!
