On the west side of Tianshi's private residence, in front of the courtyard of the 'Wanfa Zongtan'.
The central pillar in front is surrounded by a golden dragon.
A gold-rimmed plaque hangs on the door, with four large gilded characters written on it: Wanfa Zongtan.
The two Taoist priests led Su Wu and Yun Nishang to stand under the camphor tree in front of the door. The older Taoist priest bowed to Su Wu and said, "We can only send you here, Mr. Su.
The main hall of Wanfa Zongtan is not for disciples to pass on teachings and teachings. When the urns are being raised, they are generally not allowed to enter or leave at will.
You go inside on your own,
There will be Taoist priests guarding the altar to guide you."
Su Wu stood under the shade of the tree and looked up at the single courtyard built with bluestones. Sure enough, there was a Taoist priest standing with his hands down. He nodded. The same elder Taoist priest thanked him and took Yun Nishang with him. The two of them stepped over one after another.
The threshold of the independent courtyard.
The Taoist priest inside the door looked up at Su Wu and Yun Nichang, and his eyes stayed on Yun Nichang for a while longer.
——The Taoist priests here are closer to the fireworks of the world, and their cultivation of mental state is not as good as that of the Taoist priests in Yuzhu Temple. It is easy to be dazzled by the beauty.
"Mr. Su, Miss Yun, please come with me."
The Taoist priest guarding the altar lowered his eyebrows and greeted Su and Wu, then turned and walked towards the main hall at the end of the single courtyard.
In the main hall,
From time to time, the sound of tapping the copper can be heard.
The Taoist priest led Su and Wu into the main hall of the Wanfa Zongtan.
Stepping into the main hall,
Su Wu saw the statue of the Sanqing God.
Under the Three Pure Gods are the statues of the Four Imperial Kings.
The left and right sides enshrine the "Five Elders" and "Three Officials" respectively.
In the middle of the main hall, there is a long altar table.
On the altar table are arranged a series of portraits of the ancestors of the past generations, arranged hierarchically, like a forest of scrolls.
Under the layers of portraits, on the altar table, except for the gold lamps and incense candles on both sides, and the copper stove incense,
There are also various magical instruments arranged in order on the altar table.
There are: Dharma seals, coffin sticks, Dharma swords, wat boards, cloud pans, flags, chimes, whisks and many other magical instruments.
This is the ‘Wanfa Zongtan’.
On one side of the altar, a Taoist priest with long hair, black beard, and purple robes stood. He saw Su Wu walking into the main hall with Yun Nishang, and a smile appeared on Fang's face.
He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Su, please write your name and eight characters in front of the Wanfa Zong altar. I will burn incense for you and report to the ancestors of all generations."
Su Wu nodded and walked closer,
Standing behind the altar.
He glanced up and saw many portraits of Taoist ancestors and gods.
The artistic techniques of these portraits are not superb. Just like many clay statues in the world, they seem to be poured from the same mold, giving people a crude feeling.
It is definitely not like the clay sculptures, bronze or gold statues of gods and demons that Su Wu saw in the secret treasure temple. Every detail is meticulously painted, and they are so lifelike that people can look directly at the clay statues and feel their hearts at ease.
He was snatched away immediately, giving rise to all kinds of fearful thoughts.
but,
Now Su Wu stood in front of the altar,
But in a trance, I had the feeling that 'the many statues of gods in the main hall, the many ancestors on the altar table, and the portraits of gods all opened their eyes and looked at me in a sinister way'!
This feeling only existed for a moment and then faded quickly.
Su Wu looked up at those mud tires again.
I feel that they are still crudely made, like mud tires poured out of a mold.
Craftsmen painted them randomly and sent them to various palaces and temples.
He lowered his head, picked up the ink pen on the altar, and
Slowly write your name, surname, and date of birth on the yellow talisman.
At the same time, the energy between the eyebrows quietly overflows and covers this place.
No abnormalities were found at all.
——Ever since he got acquainted with the old man, he learned from him that "sometimes a sly person may not necessarily exude a charisma, but will also emit an aura that even those with a 'mind's eye' cannot detect, making it difficult to guard against it."
After the conversation, Su Wu also felt that it was not safe to rely on the energy of his mind to detect any strange things around him.
But nowadays most of the Taoist inheritance has been cut off.
Wei Suhe, the abbot of Yuzhu Temple, has mastered the ‘Sky Eye’.
But he was able to cultivate the 'Celestial Eye' by mistake, and he had no experience to teach Su Wu.
Su Wu could only temporarily use his mental energy to carefully screen the environment and detect anything strange around him.
My own mind did not notice anything unusual in the Wanfa Sect Altar.
But Su Wu couldn't be completely sure that there was nothing unusual here.
At the moment he is in front of the Taoist altar,
It is not easy to take out the Duan Gong pulse's "Fa Gua" and do some divination.
——'Fake Divine Epilepsy' After Quanzhuo experienced what happened to the Jiang family that night, he completely gave up the idea of using his identity as an epiphany to defraud money, and sold all the Duan Gong magic weapons passed down from his ancestors to Su Wu.
.
Su Wu paid for all the magic weapons,
He and the old magic man were equally divided.
As a result, he obtained a pair of horns, a master's sword, a master's halberd, a command flag, a copper incense burner and other items.
In order to repay Su Wu's generosity, the old man gave Su Wu a pair of armored horses, so that when he encountered difficulties, he could write the matter on the armored horse and burn it. The old man would sense it and see if he could help solve the problem.
…
"I will burn incense here to ask for your favor.
Mr. Su needs to observe carefully later to see if any of the 284 statues of the ancestors enshrined on the altar are shaking.
——With any vibration, Mr. Su can invite the corresponding ancestor to his altar." The altar-protecting mage, who was wearing purple and looked very extraordinary, walked to Su Wu's side and picked up the
I picked up the yellow talisman written by Su Wu.
Su Wu nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
When he was at Yuzhu Temple, he had never experienced such a ritual.
At that time, Wei Suhe ordered him to invite all the portraits of the ancestors to the "Five Thunder Dharma Altar". Perhaps Yuzhu Temple did not have the inheritance of the Tianshi Mansion of the Sihan Dynasty, so Wei Suhe only knew that he could summon them by passing on the teachings and teachings.
I didn’t know that I needed to burn incense to pray for the Dharma altar. I reported it to the ancestors of all generations. After getting permission,
Only then can he invite the Patriarch to the altar he set up.
certainly,
It is also possible that the Sihan Celestial Master's Mansion did not believe that Su Wu was really a divine being who had been granted the True Treasure.
However, due to his status as a folklore scholar from the Bureau of Ethnic Affairs, he did not dare to refuse his request.
So I used this method to fool Su Wu.
If there is no shaking of the portrait by then, the Great Master Protecting the Altar will have reason to refuse Su Wu's request to summon the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar.
Su Wu remained calm and watched the changes.
After the altar-protecting master told Su Wu, he said to the Taoist priests guarding both sides of the altar: "You should also note it down later to see which scroll is shaking!"
"Yes." Both Taoist priests nodded in agreement.
After that, I saw the Great Master Protecting the Altar lighting the yellow talisman on the golden lamp and incense candle, and burning it to ashes. Then he formed a seal with his hands, lowered his head, put his sword finger between his eyebrows, moved his lips, and muttered something.
He recited sutras at an extremely fast speed, and even with Su Wu's sharp ears, it was difficult to hear clearly what he was reciting.
As the Great Master Protecting the Altar recited scriptures,
on the offering table,
Among the scrolls of the ancestors that Su Wu paid close attention to, there were actually more than ten scrolls, all trembling as if they were blown by the wind!
They tremble constantly,
The adjacent scrolls were also rubbed together, making a "swishing, rustling" sound!
Su Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, not expecting that the scroll would actually move.
The several Taoist priests guarding both sides of the altar obviously saw this kind of situation rarely happen. They both looked at each other in surprise, and then quickly raised their eyes to remember which ancestors were depicted on the shaking scrolls.
The paper rolls rubbed against each other, making a "rustling" sound that continuously sounded in the silent hall.
The Great Altar Protector, who was reciting the scriptures, couldn't help but raise his head slightly, opened his eyes, and saw those scrolls that were shaking non-stop.
His eyes were also surprised,
——He really did not want Su Wu to invite the Wanfa Zongtan.
He deliberately burned incense in accordance with the old rituals and was sure that the statue of the ancestor on the altar would not have any supernatural phenomena. In this way, the folklore scholar from the Family Affairs Bureau's intention to invite the altar to the altar could only be in vain.
The Great Master Protecting the Altar can place the responsibility on the ancestors of the past dynasties, Zhengyi.
——The Patriarch did not agree to grant Su Wu the invitation to summon the Wanfa Zongtan. It has nothing to do with the current Tianshi Mansion.
However,
What he didn't expect was that the portraits of the ancestors enshrined on the altar would start to tremble as recorded in the old classics!
The old etiquette is actually true?
Does it really work?!
But I had previously tried to teach many Taoist disciples to ascend to the altar using the old rites and regulations, but none of them succeeded. In the end, I changed them to the current rites and regulations!
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with the old etiquette.
Is there something wrong with people?!
The Great Master Protecting the Altar had many thoughts in his mind and stopped chanting sutras for a while.
Even if he stops chanting,
The shaking of more than ten scrolls on the altar has not stopped.
He turned his head and glanced at Su Wu cautiously.
——Since the Tianshi Mansion was rebuilt, the rites prescribed by the Clan Affairs Bureau have been used to teach and confer altars to countless disciples. Several generations of altar-protecting masters have tried to use the old rites to confer disciples on altars, but in the end In the end, no one succeeded.
There are no less than a thousand of these people.
Compared with thousands of Taoist priests and one folklorist from the Religious Affairs Bureau,
Obviously, the latter has a greater chance of having a problem.
Thinking this way, Master Hutan felt a little more comfortable.
He simply stopped reciting the scriptures completely,
Quan thought that he had already recited the entire scripture prescribed by the rites and regulations.
Picking up a stick of incense, the Great Master Protecting the Altar handed it to Su Wu and said with a sweet smile: "Fellow Taoist, please burn incense and make offerings to the ancestors of all generations to show your intention. After that, you can summon the authority of the Ten Thousand Dharma Sect Altar. "
"good."
Su Wu nodded,
The stick of incense was burned in a circle around the golden lamp candlelight,
The head of the incense was red and there was no open flame.
He took the stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.
Bow your head respectfully.
At the moment when he bowed his head and bowed, the "mind" flowed down from the eyebrow chakra, and was illuminated under the "Sun Palace Red Pill Master Treasure" between the "Heavenly Pass Chakra" and the "Heart Chakra".
Suddenly a Tai Chi pattern appeared,
Four talismans appeared around the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish diagram - Su Wu had never practiced talismans before, but he immediately recognized that the meaning of the four talismans was the 'Altar of Ten Thousand Dharmas'!
