$524, granting altar (1/2)
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 generally not allowed to enter and leave at will, except when disciples are passing on teachings, imparting urns, or raising urns.
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.
——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 who guarded 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.
Step into the main hall,
Su Wu saw the statue of the Sanqing God.
Under the three pure gods are the statues of the four emperors.
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 in layers, like a forest of scrolls.
Under the layers of portraits, on the altar table, except for the gold lamps, incense candles and copper stove incense on both sides,
There are also various magical instruments arranged in order on the altar table.
There are: magic seals, torture staffs, magic swords, wat boards, cloud clangs, flags, chimes, whisks and many other magic weapons.
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 horoscope 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 rough and shoddy feeling.
It is definitely not like those clay sculptures, copper casts, or gold cast statues of gods and demons that Su Wu saw in the secret treasure temple. Every detail is meticulously painted, and it is so lifelike that it makes people look directly at the clay statues and feel at ease. He was immediately snatched away by him, giving rise to all kinds of fearful thoughts.
but,
Now Su Wu stood in front of the altar,
But in a trance, there was a feeling that 'many statues of gods in the hall, many portraits of ancestors and gods on the altar table 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 the same 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 surly 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." After the conversation, Su Wu also felt that it was not safe to rely on his mind energy to detect any strange things around him.
However, most of the current 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.
I didn't notice anything unusual in the Wanfa Sect Altar with my own mind.
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's 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 cheating money by relying on his identity as an epiphany, and sold all the various Duan Gong magic weapons passed down from his ancestors to Su Wu. .
Su Wu paid for all the magical artifacts.
They were evenly matched with the old magic man again.
As a result, he received a pair of ox horns, a master's sword, a master's halberd, a command flag, a copper incense burner and other items.
In order to reward 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 patriarch to his altar. "The great altar-protecting mage, who was dressed in purple and looked very extraordinary, walked to Su Wu's side and picked up the yellow talisman that Su Wu had written.
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 all the inheritance from the Sihan Tianshi Mansion, and 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, and report to the ancestors of all generations. After getting permission, I
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 awarded 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.
His chanting speed was extremely fast, and even with Su Wu's sharp ears, it was difficult to hear clearly what he was chanting.
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 rarely saw this situation. They 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, and the sound of "rustling" sounded continuously in the silent hall.
The altar-protecting mage who was reciting the sutra couldn't help but raise his head slightly, opened his eyes, and saw the scrolls that were shaking non-stop.
His eyes were also surprised,
——He really did not want Su Wu to invite the Wanfa Sect Altar,
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 Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar, which 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 shake as recorded in the old classics!
The old etiquette is actually true?
Really useful? !
But I had previously tried to teach many Taoist disciples to ascend to the altar according to the old rituals, but I had never succeeded? In the end, it was changed into the standard etiquette that is common today!
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with the old etiquette standards.
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, there have been no fewer than ten thousand disciples who have used the rites prescribed by the Clan Affairs Bureau to confer altars and altars to their disciples. Several generations of altar-protecting masters have tried to use the old rites to confer altars and altars to their disciples, 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 is more likely to have a problem.
Thinking of this, the Altar Protector 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 ritual standards.
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 offer sacrifices to the ancestors of all generations to show your heart. After that, you can call upon 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, without any open flame.
He took the stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.
Bow and bow 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 picture - Su Wu had never practiced talismans before, but now he immediately recognized that the meaning of the four talismans was the 'Ten Thousand Dharma Sect Altar'!
