In the evening, Master Cai had no intention of leaving. It happened that Uncle Dazhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo also had something to say to Zhao Ran, so Zhao Ran simply arranged for the three of them to live in Junshan Temple.
After Master Cai was settled, Zhao Ran came to see Master Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo. When they met, he asked Master Cai what he meant and why he kept pestering him without any sense of being a mage? This is a dignified mage.
Ah, they were from the Yuhuang Pavilion. When Zhao Ran thought of the style and arrogance of Master Zhu Zhimeng, he couldn't figure out what Master Cai was up to.
"Tell me, uncles, what is Master Cai's background? Is he here for the statue?"
Zhuo Tengyi smiled and said: "Who made you reveal your true identity today? Master Cai was greatly moved."
Zhao Ran got goosebumps: "No way?"
Zhuo Tengyi didn't know that Zhao Ran had other thoughts, so he explained: "Master Cai is the best at formations. You talked to him about formations today, which is very suitable for him. Speaking of which, Master Zhao, you are good at formations."
The progress is really amazing. In just two years, it has progressed to such an extent that even Master Cai admires it..."
The elder brother Zhuo Tengyun, who has always been a man of few words, suddenly said: "Let's talk business."
Zhuo Tengyi coughed and changed the subject: "Martial Nephew Zhao, I heard that the Qibao Usnea root was donated by you. Can you tell me the origin of this elixir? You know, my brother and I went to Sichuan this time, and it was very difficult.
After searching for several months, I have only found a few kinds, which are still far from what is needed for alchemy. In the previous episode, the master of five colors just exchanged the tongue orchid vine to Huayun Pavilion. Now you have come up with the Seven Treasure Usnea root, which is really incredible.
Don’t worry, my brother is not a person who takes anything by force. All you need to do is tell us where these elixirs were collected from. My brother will go and do it himself. I won’t bother you, nephew, and as soon as I find something, the library will contact you.
Rich rewards.”
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Uncle Master. I escaped from Xia Kingdom last year. Uncle Master also knows about this matter. To be honest, Pei Zhongze and I did have some benefits, but they were all obtained from plundering sheep from the Buddhist temple. Most of them are still there."
Pei Zhongze. I kept two pieces myself, one is the tongue orchid vine, and the other is the Qibao Usnea root. Last time, uncle, you left me a letter saying that you needed the tongue orchid vine. I will take it out right then.
, but I couldn’t contact my two master uncles, so I handed it over to the Master of Five Colors and asked him to present it on my behalf. As for presenting the Seven Treasures Usnea Root, you should be clear about the basics here..."
Seeing the disappointment on Zhuo Tengyi's face, Zhao Ran immediately changed the topic: "Although I don't have any elixir anymore, there are still some at Pei Zhongze's place. I don't know what the two uncles want. I'll go to Xin Qingyun Pavilion.
With my friendship with Pei Zhongze, I might be able to help him a little bit."
Zhuo Tengyi looked at Zhuo Tengyun, who nodded. Zhuo Tengyi said: "Thank you very much. The elixir that Huayun Pavilion is refining lacks an elixir called 'Five-flowered Cloud Leaf'."
', This medicine has five leaves in total, each with a different color and smell. I hope my nephew can ask for some on my behalf."
As Zhuo Tengyi said, Zhao Ran put his spiritual thoughts into his fingers and rummaged through the pile of medicinal materials. Sure enough, he saw this elixir. There were three plants in total, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, if Pei Zhongze has this elixir,
I will definitely get the medicinal materials for my uncle."
Zhuo Tengyi said happily: "In this way, I have a lot of work. But I don't know what difficulties my nephew has been having recently. If it is useful, I will try my best!"
Zhao Ran said with emotion: "The two uncles spoke to me because they are looking up to my nephew. There is no condition to be negotiated. Let's not mention this matter!"
His statement made the two Zhuo family masters think more highly of him, so they talked happily for a while, and Zhao Ran was about to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Zhuo Tengyun, who had been a dull gourd all night, suddenly said: "Master Nephew Zhao has entered the Taoist realm?"
Zhao Ran was lingering here, waiting for this sentence, and immediately picked up the topic and said: "Uncle Da Zhuo also noticed it? Haha, my nephew, I have been practicing hard for a year, it is really not easy."
Zhuo Tengyi was very surprised, and quickly reached out to Zhao Rantanzhong, and then said happily: "Sure enough, the sea of Qi has been built!" Then he clicked his tongue for a long time, saying that he had never seen anything like this before.
Just stepping into the Taoist realm is simply unheard of.
Zhao Ran immediately said: "I remember that the two master uncles once talked about being qualified to be awarded the post of Lu..."
"After I get back, I will ask the elders for you and try my best to fight for you."
"Thank you two uncles!"
Zhao Ran happily left the house of his two uncles from the Zhuo family, and went back to his room to practice hard without mentioning it. In the early morning of the next day, Master Cai finally remembered the mission of his trip and began to work on setting up the statue.
.
The statue of the god occupies the most important and core position in the dojo. In this world, the establishment of the Shifang Jungle Dojo, in addition to supervising the secular world and controlling the place, the most fundamental purpose is to absorb the power of faith, and the statue of the god is to absorb the power of faith.
A magical weapon of faith.
The Ming Dynasty adopted Taoism as its state religion. The gods of Taoism are an extremely large system. From the highest Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty to the lowest mountain gods, they can be used as objects of worship. Therefore, it is impossible to preach in one place.
To worship all the gods, even the overall view of Mount Lushan cannot be done, let alone the place.
Generally speaking, in formal Taoist temples and Taoist palaces, statues of the Taoist ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties must be installed. In larger Taoist temples, if the conditions are mature (the temples are complete and there are more people), there will also be three statues of Taoist ancestors.
The statues of Qing Dao ancestors, such as Wujiyuan. Other than that, they are different.
If it belongs to the Zhengyi sect, in addition to the Sanqing Taoist ancestors, the Taoist temple also enshrines Zhang Tianshi; if it belongs to the Quanzhen sect, it enshrines the Chongyang Master. As for the Quanzhen Seven Sons, it depends on which sect they belong to. The remaining statues are even more different.
Thousands.
Generally speaking, which statue to install is decided by the first Taoist priest who opens the Taoist temple. Taoism believes that whether secular people or cultivators are in harmony with the sky, they must be spiritually connected to someone above the nine heavens.
The stars are closely related to each other, and the stars are the places of gods and immortals, so there is a connection between heaven and humans. In other words, anyone in this world who believes in Taoism will
He will be blessed by a certain god in the sky, and everything he thinks, feels, and thinks will resonate with the god who protects him.
This so-called destiny corresponds to God.
The Taoist priest who receives the ultimatum is particularly sensitive in this aspect, and can form an unknown communication with the gods who protect him to a large extent. When the Taoist priest preaches, it will also affect the people who receive the ultimatum. Therefore, the Taoist priest established
In the dojo, you should try your best to use your own destiny as an offering to the gods, so as to maximize the effect of absorbing the power of faith.
In addition to Sanqing Taoist ancestors and Zhang Tianshi, Wujiyuan also enshrines Huang Chengyi, the moon god who is one of the four meritorious officials, as the main sacrificial statue. This is because the destiny god of the first superintendent is Huang Chengyi.
Therefore, as the founder of Junshan Temple, Zhao Ran's destiny should be the statue enshrined in the temple. Of course, this is the only statue in Junshan Temple so far - the temple is too small to accommodate other gods. In the future
If conditions permit, statues of Sanqing Taoist ancestors and Zhang Tianshi will be installed, but generally speaking, Taoist temples do not need them.
How can we know which god Zhao Ran is destined to be? Taoists have their own methods.
Master Cai stood in front of the empty shrine, with Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi on his left and right sides respectively. Zhao Ran was kneeling on the futon. Behind him, Jin Jiu, Guan Er and Lu Jin were arranged in sequence. The ceremony of choosing the statue was extremely important, so everyone
They all wore formal Taoist robes used in Zhai Jiao rituals.
Master Cai took out a golden cylinder from his arms, and pulled out a thick stack of talismans. With a flick of his hand, these talismans were spread all over the niche. Zhao Ran glanced at it, and there was a statue painted on each talisman.
The name of the deity is written in seal script next to the statue.
Then I heard Master Cai say: "This is the spiritual position of the nine gods and immortals. Zhao Zhiran, please sincerely offer the incense. If there is a god in your destiny, the spiritual position will rise automatically."
Later, Master Cai explained that there are nine levels of gods. Immortals are the most common gods for ordinary people. The number of gods is extremely large, including flying dragons, immortals, envoys of officials, wolves and tigers, Tianding strongmen, and Tianju.
Armor, soldiers, mountain gods, land, etc. These talismans can only refer to each other and cannot be described one by one. For example, the mountain gods are represented by a talisman, and the land is also represented by a talisman. But in fact, the mountain gods and lands must be countless.
If after Zhao Ran offered incense and worshiped, the mountain god who rose up would be the mountain god of Xiaojun Mountain. For example, the statue of the Longshan Temple in Wujiyuan is dedicated to the mountain god of Longshan Mountain.
So Zhao Ran took the three pillars of burning incense handed over by Master Cai, knelt down respectfully and offered them sincerely.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the stands. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
