Su Wu was stunned when he heard this, and turned to look at the young Taoist priest behind the older Taoist priest.
He asked the man: "Isn't it true that only after passing through the teachings and becoming a disciple of the Taoist sect can one be taught the true magic weapon and become a true Taoist priest?
Are these people who come to Tianshi Mansion all Taoist priests?"
The young Taoist priest smiled, bowed to Su Wu, and asked the older Taoist priest with his eyes. After receiving the other's approval, he replied to Su Wu: "The urn is not only given to Taoist disciples, but also to ordinary people.
The one who teaches the real thing.
However, the treasure trophies awarded to Taoist disciples are not the same thing as the talismans granted to ordinary people.
The former is an assessment and evaluation of Taoist disciples’ practice.
His name is registered in the immortal book, and he is considered to be a Taoist and a true person.
The talisman that the latter was awarded was just a charm to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, and to petition heaven.
For example, in the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, as well as some high-ranking officials and concubines in the harem, all have records of being conferred by Taoist priests. It is obviously impossible for these high-ranking officials to leave their good official positions and go to Taoist temples to practice as Taoist priests.
.
The talismans bestowed upon them,
It is a kind of charm that protects and eliminates disasters.
Today, our Sihan Tianshi Mansion holds a consecration ceremony. All tourists who come here can get a talisman that can be used to protect themselves. It is somewhat of a good thought.
The nature of the talisman is the same as that given to princes and princes before."
"So that's it."
Su Wu nodded and walked towards the crowded row of tables.
As soon as he took a step forward,
Yun Nishang and the two Taoist priests followed.
"Are you two also going to get a talisman?
There is no harm in asking for a talisman to be with you, yes, yes." The older Taoist priest said to Su and Wu with a smile.
Su Wu nodded, as if remembering something, and asked the older Taoist priest: "I visited Yuzhu Temple in Qushui City before, and their abbot once said that Taoist disciples need to burn incense and perform rituals in front of the altar when conferring urn.
Report to the Three Purities and the Patriarchs Shen Zhen,
This kind of talisman currently awarded to ordinary people,
Do you also deliberately use this similar etiquette?"
"Yes." The older Taoist priest looked more straight and replied, "Nowadays, the regulations of the Bureau of Religious Affairs are relatively strict. In fact, there are actually less than 300 Taoist priests in each of our Taoist sects who can pass on Buddhist teachings and issue official certificates every year.
It's just a ceremony for a few hundred people, and the ritual of burning incense only needs to be carried out at the 'Wanfa Zongtan Altar' in the Jade Emperor Palace.
Because the number of talismans prepared for this consecration ceremony exceeds one thousand,
So it was held in the ‘Wanfa Zongtan Hall’ of the Tianshi Private Academy.
Although there is no difference between the two, the ritual ceremony is relatively more solemn than the transmission of teachings and teachings."
"Is that so?" Su Wu smiled, "We will be taken to the Wanfa Zongtan Hall of the Tianshi Private Academy later to have a look."
He looked at the older Taoist priest, who was at the end of Wuyangyang's queue. He didn't let the two Taoist priests help him, and jumped in line directly to get the talisman with only a thousand lines.
"I am also a disciple of the Taoist sect who has been awarded the True Treasure.
Can you list me on the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar and give me the authority to summon the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar?" Su Wu asked.
The elderly Taoist priest did not expect that Su Wu would make such a request.
He was stunned,
Somewhat hesitantly, he said: "This kind of thing cannot be decided by Xiaodao.
Please allow Xiaodao to inquire with the Great Master Protecting the Altar first."
"Go ahead and ask." Su Wu nodded.
The elderly Taoist priest took out his mobile phone and went to a remote corner to send a voice message.
The young Taoist priest was still guarding Su and Wu.
He mainly stayed beside Yun Nishang, talking warmly to Yun Nishang, talking about some of the surrounding landscapes, the scenic spots and historic sites around Tianshi Mansion and Longhu Mountain.
Seeing Su Wu looking at him, the young Taoist priest stopped talking and smiled gently at Su Wu.
Yun Nishang approached Su Wu,
The team advanced a few feet further.
There are also tourists who keep flocking here.
There was an old mother-in-law with a cloth bag slung on her shoulder. The bamboo handles of the incense sticks in the bag were exposed at an angle. She held two children, a boy and a girl, with both hands, and hurried over and lined up behind Su Wu.
.
The mother-in-law ran all the way over and stood in line, holding the two children for a while to breathe heavily.
The two children were also very tired, and they were gasping for breath.
The old woman looked at the crowd of heads in front of her with a somewhat depressed look. She looked around and easily saw a young Taoist priest dressed in black standing next to Su and Wu.
There was some hope in her eyes,
Some of them greeted the young Taoist priest with a sigh of relief: "Tao... little Taoist Master?"
The young Taoist priest smiled, turned to look at the old woman, nodded and said, "What's the matter? Mother-in-law."
Now that a beautiful woman was in front of him, the little Taoist priest unconsciously showed his gentlest and friendliest side.
Seeing the young Taoist priest's gentle tone, the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. She then asked the young Taoist priest: "I, I want to ask you, how many amulets will be distributed in today's Dharma assembly?"
My mother-in-law should be a nearby pilgrim who often comes to Tianshi Mansion to offer incense.
Otherwise, I would not be so clear about the Dharma Assembly activities of the Tianshi Mansion, and I would also know that the number of ‘talismans’ distributed at each Dharma assembly is different.
She regarded the 'talisman' as a 'talisman', but in fact there is nothing wrong with this understanding.
"Today, one thousand talismans will be distributed. They will be distributed to believers and tourists starting from the noon puja. They have been distributed for several minutes now," the young Taoist priest replied.
"Are there a thousand?"
The mother-in-law seemed quite happy when she heard this. She tried her best to stand on tiptoes and look at the front of the crowd. She was mumbling and counting as she looked.
The pair of twins held by her hands were both quiet and stayed beside the old man without making any noise after taking a breath.
Su Wu looked sideways at the two children.
The girl who looked a little older showed a bright smile to Su Wu.
He smiled back and turned back.
The team moved forward slowly.
One by one, tourists received the talismans and left happily.
The old woman saw others getting the amulets and leaving happily, her eyes could not help but be envious. She was a little anxious waiting, but she did not dare to show it in front of the young Taoist priest, so as not to appear "disloyal", so she had to lower her head and tease her own
A pair of grandchildren said with a smile: "Is it hot?
Grandma will buy you a drink later!
Wait a little longer, and when grandma asks for the amulet and goes back to wear it on your father, your father's illness will soon be cured!"
"We are not in a hurry, and we are not thirsty. Grandma, don't be too anxious."
"We have been here several times. Grandma said that the gods here are very spiritual and will bless us, so we will definitely get the amulets today!"
The two children were very well-behaved and sensible, and in turn comforted their grandmother.
Yun Nishang saw sweat on the children's foreheads and their fair little faces were flushed by the sun. She couldn't bear it. She took out two yogurts from the box she carried with her, handed them to the two children, and took out another one.
I handed the wet tissue to the old lady,
Let the old woman wipe the faces of her grandchildren.
The child thanked Yun Nishang rudely,
Seeing Su Wu looking at them with concern, he thanked Su Wu again.
Because of the delivery of yogurt and paper towels, my mother-in-law got acquainted with Yun Nichang and started talking with Yun Nichang.
From their conversation,
Su Wu learned that the only son in the old woman's family was seriously ill, and her daughter-in-law ran away with her money, leaving her two children to take care of. So she set up a pancake stall and sold pancakes in front of several schools.
Her home is on the outskirts of Longhushan City.
Originally, the old man had inquired about the consecration ceremony held at the Sihan Tianshi Mansion today.
I am planning to rush over to buy the amulet after I finish selling today’s pancakes.
I didn't expect that business would be good today, so I wasted my time.
When we arrived at Tianshi Mansion, it was already a little late.
Fortunately, there were a thousand amulets today, and the old woman felt that she still had a chance to receive one.
While the two were talking, the older Taoist priest finally finished contacting the heads of the Tianshi Mansion, walked to Su Wu, and said to Su Wu: "Mr. Su, the great master said that you are welcome to go to Wanfa Sect at any time.
Altar Hall.
He has confirmed with the abbot of Yuzhu Temple that you are indeed a Gaozhen who has been awarded the Zhenlu, and he has listed you on the Wanfa Zongtan.
There is no problem in giving the authority to summon the Ten Thousand Dharma Ancestral Altar."
"Okay." Su Wu responded.
At this time,
The last tourist in line in front of Su Wu also received his own talisman.
Behind the table, the Taoist priest in red robes picked up the last talisman on the table, handed it to Su Wu, and repeated what he had said to every tourist before: "With the talisman, you will be immune to all evils, and you will avoid evil spirits and disasters."
All diseases are gone!”
Su Wu didn't pick up the talisman.
He turned around and looked at the old woman.
The old woman pursed her lips and looked at Su Wu with pleading eyes.
The two children also looked at Su Wu eagerly.
Su Wu dodged away,
He said to the old woman: "Old man, please."
The red-clothed Taoist priest was surprised that Su Wu gave up the opportunity to consecrate him, but he couldn't control it too much. After seeing the old woman thanking Su Wu repeatedly, she pulled the child and walked forward with great hope, so he cleared his throat and began to sing.
Di Bao repeated what he had said countless times: "If you receive the talisman, all evil will not invade, you will retreat sneakily, and all disasters and diseases will disappear!"
"thanks, thanks!"
The mother-in-law held the talisman fold, carefully put it in a wooden box, and thanked the red Taoist priest with her hands clasped together.
The Taoist priest in red bowed his head and saluted.
——Although the other party's salute was wrong, he didn't care.
"Let's go to Wanfa Zongtan."
Su Wu said to the elderly Taoist priest.
The elderly Taoist priest watched the whole process of Su Wu giving up the chance of enthroning himself to the old man. He suddenly realized something. When he heard Su Wu's voice, he came back to his senses in a daze, nodded, and walked ahead to lead the way.
"Brother, sister!"
At this time, the little girl's crisp voice sounded from behind the group of people.
Su Wu stopped and the little girl grabbed an agate pendant around her neck and ran over.
"Thank you for giving us the amulet.
Grandma has been running away for half a year, and this time she finally got it.
Brother, I give you this amulet as a way of repaying my kindness, okay?" The little girl looked at Su Wu with bright eyes.
Su Wu knelt down, patted her head, held her hand, and asked her to put away the agate pendant.
He smiled: "You're welcome."
The little girl watched Su Wu and his group go away,
I saw Su Wu's back being obscured by the passing crowd.
She lowered her head and spread her palms.
I saw a half black and half yellow wooden sign lying in my hand.
