Returning from the Jiangwu Academy, Zhang Yan saw a two-foot-square wooden box at the door of the hall as soon as he arrived home, but it was not locked.
"Mom, what's in here?" Zhang Yan asked Wang Lanping who was walking in front.
"Your stuff. Old man Li from the grocery store in the East Market brought it over at noon. He left it here and left. Yan'er, what are those little sticks in there used for? Look at those little sticks, they look weird.
There are a lot of red candles, didn’t you get tricked by Old Man Li?”
"Trick? No. I asked Old Man Li to make this thing. It went through repeated adjustments many times before it took shape. I asked him to send more this time. I will buy from him again in the future." Zhang Yan smiled.
I squatted in front of the big box and opened the lid. Inside were bundles of red incense and red candles as thick as a foot long chopstick.
Red candles are very common here in the Desolate Heaven Territory, so Wang Lanping knows them. Hong Xiang does not exist in the Desolate Heaven Territory. Zhang Yan found someone to make them out this time, so Wang Lanping didn't recognize them and said they were "little sticks".
"Is it useful?"
"Of course. Mom, don't worry, old man Li can still trick me?" Zhang Yan chatted and laughed with her mother for a while, and Wang Lanping went to work in the kitchen behind.
"Mom, isn't Sister Mei here? Please rest more."
Sister Mei is the servant Zhang Yan was looking for a few days ago. She completely meets the conditions he was looking for with a miserable life experience. Her husband is dead, and she has a son in his twenties who was kicked into a fool by a cow. The family is poor.
I had to drop the bottom. I used to be a cook in a small restaurant and was very good at cooking. After arriving at Zhang's house, I knelt on the ground and cried for a while. This completely aroused Wang Lanping's compassion, so she agreed.
Leave her to help at home.
However, Wang Lanping also came from hard times, and she is hard-working. It is unrealistic for her to jump into the life of an "old lady" all at once. She always wants to help and is not willing to let others refuse. But at least it is easier than before.
a lot of.
Zhang Yan moved the wooden box to a room that had been empty and put it away. Then he smoked a stick of incense and lit it to test the effect. It was exactly the same as the sample he had tried with Old Man Li from the grocery store. It was also the same as him.
In my memory, there is no difference between the common red incense on earth.
When Zhang Yan returned to the main room, his younger sister Zhang Huiyuan had already returned from the store.
"Second brother!"
"Hmm. How's it going? Is the store doing well?"
"It's very good. I collected a batch of wood today and also sent some custom-made iron buttons. It has been paid out in the account."
Zhang Yan asked about the situation in the store as usual. Now Zhang Huiyuan is the accountant of the old store in Langyuan City. The previous accountant followed Zhang Shun to the semicolon in Xiangkou. The storekeeper was trained by Zhang Shun.
One of the waiters who got up was in his forties and already looked like a shopkeeper. During the time that Zhang Shun left, the business in the store did not slow down at all.
Zhang Yan is very satisfied with this. People should be put outside to practice, so that they can grow up quickly. If this situation continues, Zhang Huiyuan will be able to be the shopkeeper on his own after another year of training at most. At that time,
It is estimated that the new store of "Zhangjia Woodware Shop" will be opened elsewhere.
Wang Lanping, on the other hand, often nags Zhang Huiyuan and also nags Zhang Yan. She said that her daughter's family is so outstanding and she is afraid that she will not be able to talk about her husband's family in the future. However, Zhang Yan was relieved for a while. There are many good girls who are vying to marry him, and he, who is the second brother, still wants to marry her.
You have to choose carefully.
After eating, Zhang Yan took a shower carefully, changed into a clean robe, and combed his hair into a bun. Under the curious eyes of his family, he returned to the vacant hut. This house
According to Feng Shui, it is on the sunny side, and it is also a relatively quiet place. It is far away from the corridor, so it is secluded.
Zhang Yan cleans the house with his own hands every day. No one else is there. Now, both the walls and the floor are spotless.
Inside, there was a small cabinet placed in front of the wall facing the door, close to the wall. There was a futon placed in front of the cabinet, more than three feet apart.
After making sure everything is clean,
Zhang Yan took out the three small copper stoves he had brought from the East Market. These were also custom-made by Zhang Yan. They were in the style of a regular incense burner. They were placed on a small cabinet against the wall and placed on the
The incense burner was filled with half a burner of rice grains.
Burning incense and lighting candles. Then Zhang Yan hung the three Sanqing portraits that he had painted long ago on the wall according to the rules. In the smoke, he knelt on the futon, put the seal on his hand, and chanted:
Learning from the heart, the fake incense spreads from the heart. The incense burns in the jade furnace, and the heart is in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal comes to the Xuan. The ministers report it, and it reaches the nine heavens.
Chant the mantra over and over again.
Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and a sense of the context of one's own involvement. There is a saying of "influence between heaven and man".
Now Zhang Yan is setting up a shrine, not just to show off, but to achieve the effect of being connected with the gods, which is what the saying goes, "consecration".
The previous "divine descending technique" and the "Five Emperors Phantom" of the Five Money Sword, uu Reading and Zhang Yan have been using various divine spells with ease, all show that although the Desolate Sky Realm is not the earth, it is still separated by an unknown amount of time.
and space, the world, but the power and power of the gods on the earth can still cross these barriers and fall next to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan does not understand the reason and cannot guess it, but he understands that these are his reliance. Also
Not too much.
Otherwise, how would Zhang Yan think of asking Sanqing to condescend to come here?
From evening to late night, finally to sunrise, and then to sunset, this repeated for two full days and nights. During the period, Wang Lanping and Zhang Huiyuan wanted to ask out of curiosity several times, but were stopped by Zhang Yan's stern eyes. The two looked at
Looking at the three portraits hanging in the room, I wondered if it was just the strict rules of Master Zhang Yan's sect? Isn't it just too much to stay awake and even motionless for the past two days?
An invisible pressure fell into this small room without any warning.
Zhang Yan felt this in his heart and quickly chanted the mantra loudly and bowed down at the same time.
"Disciple Longhushan Zhang Yan is here to welcome the three leaders of the Divine Mind Dharma!" Although Zhang Yan was prepared in his heart, it was inevitable that his voice was trembling. It was not caused by the pressure, but because of his own nervousness.
Sanqing! Even if it’s just the spiritual power, it’s a great thing. He thought he wouldn’t be able to invite him, but he didn’t expect it to happen. It’s strange that Zhang Yan wasn’t nervous.
I am also quite excited. With such a place, the safety of my family will be guaranteed in the future. With the power of the Three Pure Spirits here, how dare evil spirits show their faces?
"Yan'er, this, is it ready?"
The changes in the room naturally spread to the entire Zhang Mansion in an instant. Wang Lanping reacted the most, and was extremely shocked. She thought that since the blessings of the three "old masters" had been hung, should she follow the example of the second son and pay her respects?
