Chapter 171 Open up a dojo



"It seems that Senior Brother and Fellow Daoist Xu already know each other."

"We just had a few chats."

"Haha, that saves me the trouble of introducing you." He waved, "Axing, Xiaoyue."

"Uncle Master."

He took out ten silver coins from his bag and handed them over.

"Go ahead and book a table at Tao Ranju and wait for the table to be delivered. I'll give you the rest of the money."

The two of them were smiling happily.

"Thank you, uncle."

She turned around and ran out, and disappeared in a flash. Lin Fengjiao couldn't stop her in time.

"Junior brother, I should provide the money."

"You and I are from the same school, so there is no need to be polite."

Simu is a little rich guy.

There are only dozens of gold bars, ten silver dollars and small coins hidden in the house.

Seeing him like this, Lin Fengjiao and Uncle Jiu were somewhat surprised.

This junior brother is notoriously stingy.

"Is it so profitable to chase corpses?"

Seeing the difference in their eyes, I felt nervous in my eyes.

"It's sloppy, it's sloppy. Don't show off your wealth. You two senior brothers must not focus on my business of exorcising corpses."

Quickly change the topic.

"Senior brother, why didn't Wencai and Qiu Sheng come with us?"

"There has to be someone to look after the house. And opening a dojo is a big deal. They don't have enough ethics and are very playful, so it's better not to join in the fun."

"You just indulge them too much, especially Qiu Sheng. His mind is not on cultivation all day long. He is jumping up and down. You don't behave like a cultivator." Lin Fengjiao suddenly said.

Uncle Jiu frowned and retorted sarcastically.

"What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? Look at Ah Xing, it's been a few years, and his cultivation is still at forging bones. He hasn't made any progress at all. He only knows how to get into trouble all day long."

"No matter how bad Ah Xing is, he is still better than Qiu Sheng. At least he is filial."

"The last time he was possessed by a female ghost and stole your magic talisman, he was indeed very filial." Uncle Jiu sneered.

Lin Fengjiao looked angry.

Press down life and death.

"I also have Xiaoyue, who is considerate and filial, and can also cook and mend. My literary talent is much better than yours."

Uncle Jiu's expression froze.

Xiaoyue is ingenious and beautiful.

Apart from being able to eat and sleep, a literary talent also has one advantage: loyalty.

After pressing one end, Lin Fengjiao's face showed color.

Seeing the two people going back and forth, not giving in to each other, they looked at each other and patted their heads.

"Oh, here we go again."

Next to him, Xu Rui looked surprised.

From the two of them, he seemed to see four eyes and Ikkyu, refusing to give in to each other, complaining about each other, and trying to outdo each other.

"I didn't expect that Uncle Jiu and Lin Fengjiao would have such a scene."

I couldn't help but be amazed.

The two quarreled with each other until Xiaoyue and Ah Xing brought the food back.

Fortunately, both of them lost face and guarded Asing Xiaoyue, so they didn't disparage each other anymore, so they were better than Four Eyes and Ikkyu.

Xu Rui was also allowed to have lunch in peace.

Found four eyes in the afternoon.

"The two brothers started fighting like this when they met?"

nodded.

"My two senior brothers were abandoned children. After being carried up the mountain by the ancestor, senior brother worshiped under the sect of my master, Qingsong, and senior brother Lin worshiped under the sect of my senior uncle, Taoist Master Qingyun."

"My master, Qingsong, and uncle, Qingyun, have very incompatible tempers, and they quarrel whenever they meet. Over the years, it has also affected the two senior brothers, and it has become what it is now."

"However, quarreling is a quarrel, but the relationship between the two senior brothers is very deep. This time, senior brother Lin opened a dojo, and the one he cared about the most was my senior brother."

After looking at Si Mu, whose face was filled with emotion, I finally understood the source of Si Mu's vicious tongue.

Emotions are cultivated from childhood.

"By the way, what's the name of Taoist Master Yijiu?"

"Haha, Lin Fengying, but he hates being called that."

"Lin Fengying, Lin Fengjiao, who got such a feminine name?" Xu Rui said with a smile.

"The Patriarch of the First Qing Dynasty was the one who carried the two senior brothers up the mountain."

"This Patriarch of the Qing Dynasty is a female cultivator?"

Four eyes nodded.

"I am the only female cultivator among the three golden elixir masters in Maoshan. I am very powerful. The most talked about thing is that two hundred years ago, I single-handedly swept away the evil cultivators in the eighteen caves of Miao territory."

Xu Rui suddenly realized, "It turns out to be the 'Spicy Fairy'."

When he was in Jinchanfang City, he saw a lot of strange things about the spiritual world, among which was what Four Eyes said.

"The Dirty Hand Fairy is a random name in the cultivation world, and 'Yi Qing' is the Taoist name of the Patriarch."

Xu Rui nodded.

This is just like his nickname "Iron Palm Immortal".

After learning some things about Uncle Jiu from Si Mu, he returned to his room.

Take out the talisman strokes and draw the talisman without mentioning it.

Two days later, it will be the day when the dojo will be opened.

Everyone got up early in a tacit understanding.

Jiu Shu, Lin Fengjiao, and the other three wore apricot yellow robes. Ah Xing and Xiaoyue wore gray robes. Only Xu Rui still wore ordinary clothes.

In the past two days, through communicating with Simu, Xu Rui also gained a certain understanding of how monks open dojos.

The first step is to ‘dispel evil spirits’.

The place where Taoists practice is called a "pure and blessed place", where all yin, evil, and corpse qi cannot exist.

It is easy to purify the evil spirit of the entire dojo, but long-term purification is difficult.

So we need to use formation.

This is the second step of ‘arrangement’.

The formations are ever-changing and have different effects.

To practice, monks need to use spiritual energy, so in addition to the formations for transforming evil spirits, they also need formations for gathering spirits.

As the base camp and fundamental place of monks, the ashram must be safe enough.

So we have to set up a large protective formation.

If conditions permit, a killing array and a confusing array should also be arranged.

A good Taoist temple can not only cultivate immortality, but also protect oneself and eliminate demons.

The last step is the third step of ‘sacrifice to the gods’.

The Taoist monk's dojo is equivalent to a small Taoist temple.

The Taoist Dharma Protector will be enshrined to protect the safety of the Taoist temple.

For example, Wang Lingguan, who is the most worshiped, and the three heavenly officials of wind, fire and thunder, etc.

After all this is done, the dojo is established.

What needs to be said is that transforming evil spirits, setting up formations, and worshiping gods are all major steps.

There are many small steps in between.

Just like now.

"Axing, Xiaoyue, open the altar."

"Yes, Master."

Ah Xing Xiaoyue quickly brought up the table that had been prepared in advance, laid it on the yellow table, placed the tokens, the Dharma flag, arranged the incense burner, the Dharma bell, inserted the Dharma sword, and placed everything neatly.

Around it rises eight large yellow banners one foot high and three feet wide, painted with talismans.

A Bagua altar has been set up.

There are three types of Taoist altars: dipping altar, urn altar and precept altar.

Urn altar: It is the altar where Taoist priests teach and receive sutras, and it is called the "Wanfa Zongtan".

Altar of Precepts: It is the altar where Taoist priests teach and receive precepts, and it is called "Xuandu Altar of Precepts".

What Lin Fengjiao set up was the first type of ‘dipping altar’, which is a Taoist altar for holding fasting rituals.

Taoists would open dipping altars to liberate ghosts, subdue demons, worship ancestors, etc.

There are different altars according to different specifications.

For example, Sancai Dharma Altar, Bagua Dharma Altar, Tiangang Dharma Altar, etc.

The top one is the ‘Luotian Dharma Altar’, also known as the Luotian Dharma Altar.

Three hundred and sixty-five people must be highly skilled in spiritual practice to be able to perform the 'Luotian Great Dip'.

Because the requirements are too high and the cost is extravagant, a single sect cannot afford it.

Only ancient emperors had the opportunity and ability to summon the sects from all over the world to set up Luo Tian Da Di.

"Master, the altar is ready."

Lin Fengjiao nodded.

After waving the disciples to go down, he returned to the main hall and took down a piece of yellow paper tied three times with a red rope that was enshrined in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet with both hands.

He came to the courtyard again and handed it to Uncle Jiu with his own hands.

The latter holds the yellow watch in both hands and stands on the left side of the altar.

He has a serious expression on his four eyes, holding a magic bell, standing on the right side.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, in the next three days, I would like you to protect the three brothers and sisters of mine."

Xu Rui cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Xu will definitely try his best."

"Thank you."

In the next three days, they had to chant sutras continuously to cleanse the evil spirits, reconcile yin and yang, and straighten out the earth's veins. They couldn't get away from it at all.

"Axing, Xiaoyue, close the door and no one can come in."

"Yes, Master."

The explanation is over.

Lin Fengjiao took a breath and relaxed.

Say it silently.

"Tai Shang Tai Xing, adaptable to constant changes;

Exorcise evil spirits and bind evil spirits, protect life and body;

Wisdom is clear and the mind is peaceful…”

This is the ‘Purifying Mind Mantra’ among the eight great Taoist mantras.

After the purification of the heart comes the 'purification of the mouth' and the 'purification of the body'.

After reciting the three great mantras, Lin Fengjiao, Jiu Shu and Si Mu's bodies were already peaceful, spotless, and without any filthy air.

After doing this, Lin Fengjiao took three steps forward, picked up three sticks of incense prepared in advance and put them between her eyebrows. After a moment of silent blessing, she inserted them into the incense burner.

"The Tao is learned from the heart, and the false incense is passed down from the heart. The incense burns in the jade furnace, and the heart is in front of the emperor. The true spirit comes down to hope, and the immortal comes to the pavilion. The ministers report it, and it reaches the nine heavens."

After the incense incantation sounded, the originally floating curls of green smoke instantly became straight, as if three sharp swords were piercing the sky.

Lin Fengjiao knelt down and bowed.

He said respectfully.

"The Supreme Open Heaven holds the talisman... The High God of Xuanqiong, the Supreme Heavenly Lord of Pure Morality..., the Immortal of Maodi, the Supreme Realm, the Three Officials to protect lives, the subtle God of Chonghui, the God of Blessing and True Lord Ying, are above."

He mentioned all the titles of the Jade Emperor, Sanqing and Maoshan Patriarch ‘Sanmao Zhenjun’.

"Today, Lin Fengjiao, the thirty-seventh generation true disciple of Maoshan, has been ordered by his master to open a dojo in Jiuquan Town, Sanxiang. He will uphold the destiny of heaven and protect the common people. He will slay demons and demons, accumulate merits and deeds, and hope that all gods will learn from him."

He turned around and took the yellow watch from Uncle Jiu with both hands.

What I said just now is just the opening remarks, what is written in this yellow list is the more detailed content.

In Taoism, this yellow form is called "gaoyu", also known as "dahao".

To sum it up simply, you should report to the Taoist gods what you have done by opening a Dharma altar, and pray for their cooperation.

Of course, the gods are very busy, and there are so many Taoist priests opening the altar every day that it is impossible to take care of them all.

So, in most cases, it's useless.

I won’t say whether it’s useful or not, but if you don’t go through the procedure again, it will cause you some trouble.

simply put.

If you ask for instructions, I may not remember it, but if you don’t ask for instructions or report, I will definitely remember it.

A bad batch.

Recite the fire igniting mantra silently and light the yellow watch.

Like three long incense sticks, the smoke after burning Huang Biao goes straight upward, as if it has really flown to the Temple of Heaven.

Lin Fengjiao, Jiu Shu and Si Mu sat down cross-legged.

Lin Fengjiao was in front, and Uncle Jiu and Simu were on the left and right.

A calm but clear chanting sound sounded.
