Chapter 88 Wu Jia and Ding Si (the starting point of 515-16)
When the abbots of the Lecture Hall arrived at Qixia Mountain and climbed to the Wenchang Temple, a temple in South Zhili Province, the sky began to turn pale. Regardless of admiring the sunrise, the monks were busy in the main hall of Wenchang Temple. Get up, take the various materials piled here, and seize the time to arrange the altar.
The people present were all monks, and the altar was arranged very quickly. In less than two moments, a huge altar appeared. The altar, the tablet of the god, offerings, lamps, talisman formations, rope knots, magical instruments, etc. etc., are all arranged properly.
Zhao Ran and other more than ten monks with responsibilities carefully inspected each item one by one, while the remaining nearly a hundred monks lined up solemnly in line, waiting for the ceremony to "sing a voice", "roll a few sleeves", and " Turn around a few times."
At Chen time, the two true masters of the True Master Hall arrived, the Taoist priests, Chen Shandao, the director of Daolu, and Zhang Yuanji, the abbot of Jianji Guanxiaguan, and Shen Yunjing, the superintendent of the prison, accompanied by Jinghui and Li Dayin. .
Behind them were Abbot Zhuang Yuxu of Wenchang Temple, Supervisor Gu Tengjia, Xu Jie, the newly appointed bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Mao Cheng, Minister of Rites, and other Taoist and imperial officials.
Zhao Ran saw these people in the train above, and paid special attention to Zhuang Yunxu and Gu Tengjia. Among them, Zhuang Yunxu was a participant in the big debate about whether monks should serve in Shifang Jungle. At that time, he held the high position of the Eight Deacons of the General View. , was purged because he actively agreed with the edict that monks should not enter the jungles of the ten directions, and was transferred from Zongguan Zhike to Wenchang Temple in Nanzhili to be the abbot. Gu Tengjia was a Tiko Taoist priest who was next to Zhang Yangming in the former prison, and was sent to the temple by Zhang Yangming. He was trained in the local Taoist palace, and finally achieved success at the end of last year and served as the supervisor of a provincial Taoist temple.
Zhao Ran had never seen either of these two people, but he had seen them from the official documents and newspapers that had been sent to Shifang Jungle over the years. Now that he saw them in person and listened to the roll call, he took a few more glances. In addition, he also paid attention to Xu Jie, the newly appointed Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and involved in cabinet affairs, did not see anything special about him except that he always had a smile on his face.
In addition, Ying Tianfu's Yin, Tongzhi, Tongpan, and Tuiguan, more than three capitals of each county and county court, the local wealthy gentry and their families, the officers stationed in Longtan Guard, such as Zhang Lue, etc., and all the Taoist priests of Wenchangguan arrived. There were hundreds of people including Huo Gong and representatives of local people in Qixia Mountain, and the Xuanchang in front of Wenchang Hall was packed to the brim.
After everyone stood firm, they waited for a while. When the auspicious time came, with the sound of a chime, the eighteen Taoist boys in the Wenchang Pavilion Sutra Hall each held various musical instruments such as harps, flutes, shengs, bamboo flutes, flutes, gongs, drums, and bells. The Taoist music "Song Hua Zan" was played. Amidst the music, all the monks in the lecture hall sang the lyrics together:
"Fragrant flowers send the envoy to set off early, the golden saddle of the horse is blue, the sky is blue, the auspicious clouds are lingering in the great Luotian, and the colorful clouds are rising under the steps. I go with the watch to give instructions in advance, go up to the heavens and Qiongque, down to the water kingdom and Yanghuan, the talisman will come early Set off..."
While the lyrics were being urged, the chief director Zhao Ran, wearing a purple Taoist robe, came onto the stage with Chao Jian in his arms, followed by eight accomplices. After Zhao Ran took the stage, he turned around and worshiped the Wenchang God, singing: "Tai Chi is high and thick..."
The companions lined up on both sides and recited in unison: "The Danzhu Zhenglun takes the pure photos, the Lingbao Tianzun removes the filth and takes the dirty photos, the fetus is bright and refreshed, the spirit and the quiet essence take the photos, Peng Ju cannot leave the body to take the photos..."
Zhao Ran used the technique to speak out a clear and passionate voice: "Twenty-eight nights, follow me on the wheel. Thousands of evils and filth will be purified by the Qi. The urgency is like a law."
Each of the eight accompaniments held a magical weapon, made secrets and recited incantations, followed Zhao Ran, stepped on the Nine Phoenix Gang steps, and murmured: "Nine Phoenixes destroy the filth, and the evil spirit is destroyed. The generals of heaven will ride on the officials and go down the cloud gang.
…”
During the chanting, a breeze gradually started to rise among the talisman formations in the altar, and the thirty-six Tiangang lamps spontaneously ignited without fire. The people participating in the ceremony were shocked and praised in unison, and many people immediately knelt down to worship.
Shen Wenfa Music Department is open!
At the same time as the Great Zhaijiao in Wenchangguan began, in a small house outside Shuibo Gate in the northeast of the capital, Wei Chaozong came out of the living room as usual, stood at the foot of the stone steps, facing east, and placed a Dragon Gate Sect secret
In the first stance of Zhuang Gong, the left palm touches the top of the body, the right palm touches the ground, the body is bowed like a crane, and the essence is exhaled towards the rising sun.
This one was completed in seventy-two breaths. Just as he was about to change to the next one, he saw a white-faced Taoist running into the room and hurriedly reported to him: "President Wei, wake up!"
Wei Chaozong was overjoyed: "It's been four days. If I don't wake up, I'm afraid Lingji Palace will find out! Let's go!"
As he walked, he asked: "Are the two thieves okay? Have Wu Jia and Ding Si started interrogating..."
In the woodshed of the house, there is a pile of hay. When the hay is lifted, there is a downward staircase. Follow the steps into the tunnel. The wall on one side is inlaid with pearls, emitting a faint light, and the wall on the other side is.
Five cells were dug out and locked with iron bars.
As Wei Chaozong walked along, prisoners in two cells let out incomprehensible roars and rushed forward to shake the iron bars. The shackles on their hands and feet dragged and hit the stone floor, making a sizzling sound.
At the end of the tunnel is an iron gate. Entering through the iron gate, you will find a large room. Two Taoists were tied to the wall and looked around in panic.
There is a stone platform in the room, and standing beside it are two big-bodied women with round waists, each with their breasts exposed, their faces heavily painted with makeup, but they are two well-known executioners in Dongji Pavilion.
——Wu Jia and Ding Si.
When the two women saw Wei Chaozong, they came up swinging their handkerchiefs, each holding his left and right arms, and kept rubbing them.
"Oh, the chief is here, have you had breakfast?"
"No need to ask, the slave family has never seen the chief catcher have breakfast."
"Sister Wu, I just said that you should bring some food to the Chief Constable, but you refused to let me!"
"Sister Ding, is the eel meal you made edible? It's so greasy that I have no appetite even after looking at it. How can the chief fisher eat it?"
"No appetite? You still ate five big bowls without appetite!"
The white-faced Taoist who followed was so furious that he didn't dare to enter the iron gate at all. He hurriedly closed the iron gate and turned around and left as if he was running away.
Wei Chaozong laughed, took his arms out of the two women's breasts, walked to the stone platform and sat down, and asked: "Are the two thieves sober? Can they talk?"
Wu Jia and Ding Si came behind Wei Chaozong again, vying to flatter him, rubbing his shoulders and beating his legs.
"I can talk, I can move, and I just drank water."
"Didn't you give them something to eat? I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it for a while."
"Captain, don't worry. There are good things added to the water, which is enough for them to survive. If you feed them two, a big pile of mess will come out in a short time. It will be disgusting to death!"
Chunfeng and Guanyun couldn't help but tremble. Chunfeng asked: "Who are you? Where are you? Do you know who Pindao is? Those who dare to imprison Shang Sangong privately, do you know what you are doing?
The business of losing your head?"
Guanyun also threatened with false words: "Hurry up and let Master Tao go. Master Tao will treat it as a misunderstanding. Otherwise, you will definitely not get the good fruit from you!"
