It was almost the fourth watch at this time, but I was worried and had no sleep at all. I kept lying in bed tossing and turning.
He has no friends or family. He has lived alone for so many years. After coming here, he doesn't know what attitude he should use to get along with his classmates, nor how he should get along with his elders.
In the summer, the sun rises very early, around the fifth watch. I haven't slept all night but I don't feel sleepy. I just stopped sleeping and went to the ground to find a broom and a rag to clean up.
After sweeping and wiping, I started to wash clothes again. At this time, footsteps came from a distance, and together with the footsteps there were voices. Judging from the footsteps and voices, there should be seven people, including Miyunzi.
And Mikiko's voice.
Without waiting for everyone to arrive, he stood up and opened the courtyard door. Sure enough, he heard correctly. There were indeed seven people coming from the east. In addition to Sanyunzi and Sanmuzi, there were five other young Taoists.
Sanyunzi and others were all carrying things, including neatly stacked Taoist robes and shoes, as well as some daily necessities. Sanyunzi himself was carrying a food box.
With the cultivation of Reiki, I feel that the biggest change in myself is that my senses have become extremely sharp, I can see further, hear more clearly, and I am particularly energetic, and I don't feel sleepy even if I don't sleep all night.
Not long after, San Yunzi and others arrived and saw him standing at the door. Everyone hurried forward to greet him enthusiastically. Everyone was older than him, and the youngest was seventeen or eighteen years old. These people should all be of the third generation.
His disciples are all his senior brothers in terms of seniority.
Sanyunzi brought breakfast and put the food on the table for him to eat. The rest of the people put down their things and started to help clean up. Seeing that the window was clear and there was nothing to clean up, they helped him wash clothes.
He had never enjoyed such preferential treatment before. He was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out to stop him. Everyone pushed him back to the cave and helped him wash his clothes. .??.??
Breakfast is corn porridge and pickles. In addition, there is a large bag of hard-boiled eggs. There are more than 20 if not thirty. I don’t know what the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain eat in the morning, but I know that these eggs are probably
It was given to him by his senior brothers.
Only half of the bowl of rice porridge was eaten, and everyone gathered around him and started chatting. Of course, self-introduction was indispensable. In addition, they praised him a lot. Everyone said what he had done in Gezao Mountain.
Everyone had heard about it, and everyone admired him for his bravery and fearlessness. In addition, they were curious and inquired, asking him how many ancient tombs he had followed Luo Yangzi and what interesting things were in the ancient tombs.
Everyone, you ask me a question, I ask
In one sentence, he only had one mouth, and he was overwhelmed with answers one by one. The rice bowl was always in his hand, but he could no longer use his mouth to eat.
However, this overwhelming situation was soon reversed. He had just arrived and didn’t understand anything, so he took the opportunity to ask everyone for advice. The first thing he asked for advice was the issue of seniority. According to Sanyunzi and others, Longhushan is young
Each generation has a three-character generation. Above it is the Luo generation, and above it is the Da generation. Above the Da generation is the Ding generation. However, Longhushan, the predecessor of the Ding generation, is no longer there. The one with the highest seniority is Headmaster Zhang.
In addition to Zhang Zhenren himself, he also has four senior juniors.
The Luo generation is now the mainstay of Longhu Mountain, with more than 500 people. The Sanzi generation belongs to the younger generation, with more than 2,000 people. In addition, there are some Taoist boys who only converted but did not teach.
Since all heavenly masters are hereditary, blood relatives of the Zhang family do not need Taoist names. Their names are directly engraved on the seals.
The Taoist hierarchy is extremely strict. Each generation lasts twenty-four years. Those who enter Taoism in the first twenty-four years are the Luo generation, and those who enter the Tao within the next twenty-four years are the Sanzi generation.
The ranking of senior brothers is not based on seniority, but based on the order in which they entered Taoism. Conversion does not count. Only those who have been converted are Taoist priests. To be precise, the ranking of senior brothers is determined by the order in which they are converted.
, some people started teaching at a very young age, so they are senior brothers and sisters, while some people may not have entered Taoism until they were forty or fifty years old, so they can only be junior brothers.
The second question is what do Taoist priests do every day.
When a question is asked, everyone immediately answers it. What Taoist priests have to do every day is morning and evening classes, that is, everyone gathers together to chant sutras. Sometimes senior Gao Gong will explain sutras to everyone during morning classes and evening classes.
.
In addition to morning classes and evening classes, Taoist priests usually practice martial arts in the morning and magic spells in the afternoon. After the evening classes, they are free. They can meditate, practice Qi, and meditate. If you really can't sit still, you can take a walk nearby, but you can't leave.
Longhu Mountain has a radius of ten miles.
But what everyone is talking about is just "usual" and "general". The life of a Taoist priest is not uniform and unchanging. Taoist priests are also human beings and they also need to eat. There are a lot of fields around Longhu Mountain, which are cultivated by the Taoist priests themselves.
In addition, Taoist priests can also go down the mountain to travel, subjugate demons and demons, and perform chivalrous and righteous acts after being consecrated.
Listen to what everyone is saying, no longer
I am worried and anxious, but it seems that being a Taoist priest is not without freedom.
Just when they wanted to further explore the details of the Taoist's daily life, Zhang Mo arrived. Seeing Zhang Mo's arrival, San Yunzi and others hurriedly got up to greet him and then left with an excuse.
"How is it? Did you sleep well last night?" Zhang Mo looked around.
I wanted to say it was okay, but I swallowed my words again, "I didn't fall asleep."
"Habits are developed slowly. You can get used to wandering around, and you can also gradually get used to life here." Zhang Mo said.
After nodding, he said, "Uncle Master, can you take me to see the headmaster and abbot? I want to express my gratitude to them."
"There is no need to go to my elder brother's place. You change your clothes and I will take you to see my father." Zhang Mo turned around and walked out the door. .??.
After Zhang Mo left, he put on the Taoist robes sent by San Yunzi and others, put on his shoes, and put on his Taoist crown.
The clothes, shoes and hats fit well, but after putting them on, he always felt a little awkward. Although he had worn Sanyunzi's Taoist robes before, it was just a matter of urgency, but at this time, the Taoist robes he was wearing were his own. For a moment, he
He still cannot adapt to his identity as a Taoist priest.
Zhang Mo had been waiting outside the door. After waiting to go out, he took him eastward.
While walking, Zhang Mo stopped from time to time to point out and introduce to him the palaces and temples in the mountains. These temples were built in different dynasties and had different uses. Some were used for sacrifices, some were used to store scriptures, and some were used to store scriptures.
It is used to store various magic weapons and to seal away ghosts and ghosts. Martial arts are not the strong point of the Longhushan Taoist priests. What they are good at is drawing talismans. Talisman spells are not only effective against evil spirits and ghosts, but can also be used on living people.
On the way, Zhang Mo met a Taoist who was in charge of scriptures and classics, so he stopped the man and ordered him to send a set of scriptures that the Taoist needed to study and recite to his residence. Chanting sutras is a compulsory course for Taoists, and many of the scriptures are used in rituals and rituals.
Used every time.
When the two went to Wuji Temple, Zhang Bingyi was meditating behind closed doors. Zhang Mo knocked on the door and explained his purpose, but there was no response from the room.
After waiting for a moment, Zhang Mochong winked and understood, walked outside the door, saluted, and solemnly thanked Zhang Bingyi for personally going out to rescue and protect him.
After saying this, Zhang Bingyi's voice finally came from the room, "Now that you've come, let's make peace with it."
Hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and answered, "I sincerely follow the teachings of the Master."
After waiting for a while, Zhang Bingyi didn't speak. Zhang Mochong waved to him and led him away from Wuji Temple.
Although Zhang Mo thought there was no need to thank Zhang Shan anymore, he couldn't bear to insist on it and could only take him to see Zhang Shan. In his opinion, he should solemnly thank the other person for his help. Others may not ask for anything in return, but the recipients
To be kind, one must always have an attitude.
Zhang Shan was very pleased to express his solemn thanks to him. He was dealing with academic affairs and had no time to say more. After a few words of praise, Zhang Shan was asked to go to the Tianshi Mansion to make further arrangements.
The Tianshi Mansion is a huge courtyard covering hundreds of acres at the foot of the mountain. It is where Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain live and study, including chefs for cooking, sutra halls for learning, martial arts arenas for martial arts training, and Taoist houses for resting.
.
Zhang Mo took him to the Tianshi Mansion and introduced him to the people in charge. Everyone was very kind to him. They did not look down on him because he had followed Luo Yangzi, nor did they look down on him because he was a master.
Zhang Mo, who taught his daughter a lot of money, was jealous because he was so close to him.
He had never felt so much kindness before and felt very uneasy. Maybe it was because of his early experiences. He always subconsciously felt that others were xenophobic. However, this did not happen in Longhu Mountain and everyone respected him.
He was very friendly to him, and did not look down on him or exclude him, and no one bullied him.
Zhang Mo also had things to do, and he couldn't accompany him all the time. After introducing him to everyone and telling them to take good care of him, he went off to do his own business.
Sanyunzi and Sanmuzi had been waiting for Zhang Mo to leave. After Zhang Mo left, they ran out immediately and continued to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, when and where to eat, when and where to chant sutras, and when to
Where to practice martial arts, etc., explained in detail.
There are not only Gan Dao in the mountain, but also about 20% of Kun Dao, which is what the world calls female Taoists. These young Kun Dao are also quite friendly to him and will take the initiative to say hello to him.
The Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain eat two meals a day, and the second meal is in the late afternoon. Sanyunzi and Sanmuzi took him to the kitchen and had dinner with him. Since they were already Taoist priests who taught nuns, they did not have to eat with everyone.
They got together to learn spells, and after dinner, they took them to the town east of Tianshi Mansion. The town here was just like the town outside. There were things for sale, and I still had some silver with me, so I bought honey and food with the two of them.
eat.
At sunset, he returned to his residence. At this time, his mood was very different from last night. He felt much more at ease and settled...
