On September 15th, Zhao Ran rushed from Baima Mountain Camp to Ye Xueguan in a dusty journey.
Compared with the unprecedented grand occasion when he came last time, he felt a bit quiet and cold this time. Apart from himself, he was only accompanied by Lao Donkey. After entering Guancheng after passing the ultimatum, he came to the temporary government office occupied by Daomen.
In front of the temple, he presented his "promotion basket" to the Taoist deacon.
After the Taoist priest checked that everything was correct, he introduced him to the temporary government office, placed Zhao Ran in a side courtyard, and told him that the Shengmen Dharma Altar would be opened in three days, and told him to wait quietly in the courtyard, otherwise he would miss it.
I don’t know when the next altar ceremony will be.
The so-called "Shengmen Dharma Altar" is actually a fasting ceremony specially organized by the Taoist sect for those so-called "no qualifications, no roots" people to help them obtain the opportunity to practice. In fact, qualifications are divided into good and bad, and there is no difference between good and bad.
From one perspective, it affects the speed and difficulty of practice. From another perspective, it actually confirms the Buddhist concept of "everyone has enlightenment".
The root and bone are directly related to whether you can practice practice. For those who want to enter the door of spiritual practice, this is the most critical issue. Only by solving the root and bone problem can we talk about the speed and difficulty of practice. For example,
Zhao Ran, he has good qualifications, but the root problem has not been solved, so he is still unable to enter Taoism.
If you want to straighten the bones, you must first loosen the bones - this is the origin of the Sangu Dan. However, the process of loosening the bones is extremely dangerous and painful. After taking the Sangu Dan, it is easy to have tendons and bones that cannot be continued.
Therefore, the Taoist sect has a special altar for ascending the door. Through this specific fasting ceremony, the users of the Sangu Pill are given magical protection.
The "Shengmen Urn" in Zhao Ran's hand is the certificate for participating in the fasting ceremony at the Shengmen Altar. It was also what Zhu Qigu asked for from Xuanyuan Temple before leaving.
Of course, Zhao Ran knew the priorities of the matter, so he stayed in the side courtyard and did not go out to cause trouble in pursuit of fresh excitement. He even rarely stepped out of his own door, except to visit the adjacent wing.
What Zhao Ran didn't expect at all was that living next door to him was an acquaintance - his good senior brother Yu Zhiyuan!
When people meet an old friend in a foreign country, they naturally feel particularly cordial, not to mention that this old friend is also a Taoist leader who takes great care of them. Surprised, the two of them talked enthusiastically about their respective experiences.
Compared with Zhao Ran's thrilling encounter this time, Yu Zhiyuan's experience was a bit duller. In the past few months since he came to Baima Mountain again, he has been busy running around with trivial matters or processing official documents and orders.
They might be checking the supplies, or presiding over the fasting rituals, or helping to read and write the family letters of the soldiers.
Yu Zhiyuan has taken the Sangu Dan twice. If he wants to see the effect after taking the Sangu Dan for the third time, regardless of the huge danger involved, mental tempering is essential. According to the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin
In his words, "You must realize it between life and death, and look for good opportunities to use medicine in that thin line. Otherwise, it will still be useless." But if he continues to immerse himself in trivial matters, where will he have the opportunity to hone his state of mind in life and death?
Therefore, Yu Zhiyuan signed up for the scout mission and went to the forefront of the battlefield to spy on Xia Jun and even Buddhism. Can you imagine a person who has no Taoism or martial arts at all, and has never even mentioned a sword or gun, and in the vast Taoist treasures
Is it the scene in the movie where a weak and common man who has been working tirelessly for more than thirty years goes to spy on the military situation? When Zhao Ran thought of this scene, he immediately felt respect in his heart: "Senior Brother Yu, I really can't do anything for you!"
Perhaps it was Yu Zhiyuan's desire to seek Tao that moved the Taoist ancestors, and he finally found out important information by chance. The monks from the Jambudvipa Temple in Huwei Mountain came to the battlefield in accordance with the decree of Tianlongyuan, and they set up a tower under the Snowy Mountains.
Grand Formation: Thirty-Six Ghost Worlds.
Zhao Ran was very interested in the formation and was surprised when he heard it, so he asked: "What formation is this?"
Yu Zhiyuan said: "The people worshiping Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at Jambudvipa Temple in Huwei Mountain are cultivating the method of salvation from hell. This formation is specially designed to hunt down the thirty-six kinds of evil spirits in the world, and these evil spirits have all committed the eleven serious crimes or the ten evils.
wheel, he will surely fall into the endless hell. Therefore, he is detained in a formation and subjected to a fast for seven or forty-nine days in order to change his purpose of being reborn in the next life."
Zhao Ran thought for a moment and said doubtfully: "This is a good thing, why should we be afraid?"
Yu Zhiyuan explained: "This is a good deed by Buddhism, and I do not deny it. But the key point is that the monks from Huwei Mountain can move this formation in front of the two armies. Wherever the formation passes, regardless of humans or ghosts, as long as they make mistakes
The eleven serious crimes or the Ten Evil Wheels are all saved - the ghosts are detained in the thirty-six ghost realms, while the living people eliminate the karmic obstacles and convert to Buddhism... What are the eleven serious crimes or the Ten Evil Wheels that Buddhism refers to?
, you may be able to understand something in the future, most people in the world have offended, especially military sergeants, it is almost inevitable."
Zhao Ran understood it as soon as he heard it, and said in shock: "Oh my god, aren't you going to convert all our Ming army soldiers into Buddhist believers?"
Yu Zhiyuan said: "After learning the news, I immediately sent people to report to Baima Mountain. At the same time, I also arrived at Daxue Mountain, hoping to conduct in-depth investigation. Unfortunately, I underestimated the breadth of the formation's deployment range. After being involved in the formation,
Only then did I realize the most terrifying thing in the world... There was a man who was twice as tall as a normal person, faceless, with holes in his hands and feet, and his body was burned by heat; there was a man whose throat was as thin as a needle tip, but whose belly was as big as a mountain, who screamed for hunger and thirst, but could not eat anything.
None of them can enter; there are those who are slashed by knives inexplicably dropped from the air and run to escape; there are also those who are covered in insects and ants, suffering from the pain of devouring their bodies, and it is unbearable to look at... Looking at their miserable state, thinking about their own mistakes, I can't help but feel sad.
I was shaken... Then I heard the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra resounding in the air, and I almost couldn't help but follow Buddhism from now on. Fortunately, I have been reciting Taoist sutras for more than twenty years in the past few years.
The great perseverance refused his call..."
As he spoke, a look of admiration suddenly appeared on Yu Zhiyuan's face, and he said: "One day, a woman suddenly came into the formation. She was graceful and noble, awe-inspiring and inviolable. She held a glazed palace lantern, and the lantern gave off a huge light.
It covers all directions. The bright light is irresistible, and countless evil spirits are controlled by it, either turning into ashes on the spot, or gradually melting into bones..."
"What happened next?" Zhao Ran knew that the "woman" mentioned by Yu Zhiyuan must be Zhu Qigu, so he asked anxiously.
"Later, seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and countless gods stood on the clouds... At this time, my eyesight turned black and I was dizzy. When I woke up, I was already in the White Horse Mountain camp. I asked around, that
The name of the woman who rescued me is Zhu Qigu... Junior Brother Zhao, you just said that it was Zhu Qigu who gave you the Bone Sparing Pill. Senior Brother, I am really envious of her. If I have time in the future, Junior Brother must introduce me to her once, so I can thank Qi Gu in person.
A great favor.”
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely introduce her to you next time I see her. My sister treats me very well and is amiable. She is not as cold and arrogant as the outside world reports."
"That's good... I don't know how injured Master Chu Yangcheng is. There are neither Buddhists nor Taoists in southern Xinjiang. I heard that there are many demons. I hope Qi Gu and the others are safe."
The two of them were speechless, each thinking about their own thoughts. I don't know how long it took, but Yu Zhiyuan said again: "After experiencing this, I knew that my opportunity had come, so I came to ask Master Kenyuan... I hope I can do it this time
Let’s fulfill our long-cherished wish!”
"Senior brother will definitely be able to do it. I have great confidence in him!"
"Thank you for your good advice, senior brother. I also wish you can get a straight foundation in one go and start practicing spiritual practice from now on!"
The two encouraged each other and got along very well in the next two days. On the morning of the third day, a Huang Guan came to the Daomen, it was Jin Tengen who had interrogated Zhao Ran. He brought all seven people living in this side courtyard to
They all gathered together and led them out of the courtyard gate, through several corridors and courtyards, and arrived at a lobby.
There is an altar table in the middle of the hall, which is dedicated to Zhang Tianshi. The altar table is surrounded by five-color silk ribbons, and talismans are placed everywhere in the hall. A long table is placed around it, and thirty-six Tiangang lamps and seventy-two Tiangang lamps are arranged on the table.
In addition to the earth evil lanterns, there were also various ritual ritual objects used for fasting and ritual rituals. Zhao Ran's vision was different at this time, and he immediately realized that these ritual ritual objects were all real ritual ritual objects, and they were definitely not the ones he had used when he presided over the ritual ritual ceremony in Guyang County.
Shellfish!
There are seven beds in the lobby, which are prepared for the seven of them.
The person standing in front of the altar table is the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin. In the four corners of the lobby, there are four Taoist priests, each holding a mahogany sword, preparing to cooperate with the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin in hosting the "Shengmen Dharma Altar". Jin Tengen is also among them.
.
Master Yuanda explained a few words, and then shouted: "The auspicious time has come, let's open the altar!" He offered incense to Master Zhang, and then paid homage to him. After completing these works, Zhao Ran suddenly felt that the whole hall was filled with a wave of energy.
The solemn atmosphere enveloped me, and the energy in the hall suddenly condensed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
