Chapter 66: Celestial Master's Commendation
Early the next morning, the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
After incense in front of the Heavenly Master's Palace, he came to the Master's Palace.
After a salute, the master and apprentice took their seats.
Master said, "On this trip to Enshi, although you were highly poisoned, you were able to calm down the incident and eliminate the harm for one party, and I am very pleased for the teacher. ”
When I heard Master's praise, I felt joy in my heart. It's just that this conversation sounded to the younger brothers and sisters next to him, but it was just a politeness. They all knew that I was in prison before I could get out of school, and how did they know that what we were talking about was the bardo world.
"If it weren't for Master's guidance, the result would have been unpredictable. I bowed.
"This merit is not small, and your master, Zhang Tianshi, also offered to reward you. Therefore, I called you here this time to ask you to prepare, and his old man wants to see you. Master said as he stroked his beard with his hand. Although his tone was calm, his eyes were full of approval and joy.
It is important to know that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Heavenly Master has been the highest-ranking figure in the Taoist world. Whether at home or abroad, if you want to obtain Taoist qualifications, you must go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to pass on the degree. The blood of the Heavenly Master has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are countless folk legends about the Heavenly Master.
There is a stone tablet written by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace of the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang "Forever in charge of the world's Taoist affairs". Since ancient times, he has been in charge of the three worlds and the three mountains and runes.
"Emperor Ming's Grace Destiny Shilu" records the edict issued by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhang Normal Heavenly Master, "Ordering the Jingdao Master to Go to Que Shu": "Wu Wangshu to Xuantan Sect Master Longhu Mountain Zhang Tianshi. To the people who are close to the first month of the year for the affairs of the country, the heart owes it, and wants to hear God. Nai has no one to praise the words, as for the heavenly court, so he sent someone to the heavenly master. With the spirit of his ancestors, the master of Wangtian must be sincere, and the master of the channel will be subtle, and the words will reach the heavens, so as to affirm the feelings of prayer, that is, the piety of the teacher. The book is to, fortunately, the teacher of the capable will come, and I will not say more. ”
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in the Heavenly Master, and at the same time, this grand festival of the Heavenly Master also helped Zhu Yuanzhang declare to his subjects that he was acting on behalf of Heaven and was granted divine power.
In addition, the Heavenly Master Changchang went deep into the simple out, and the divine dragon saw the beginning but not the end. It's very rare to see each other.
In the first episode of "Water Margin", the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty sent Taiwei Hong to the Tianshi Mansion to invite Zhang Tianshi to enter Beijing to drive away the plague. The mystery of the Heavenly Master can be seen from this.
Being able to be rewarded by the Heavenly Master is naturally the Master's suggestion and recommendation. The Master also explained many audience etiquette and precautions. And repeatedly explained, you must keep it in mind, and there can be no half-point difference.
Three days later, the inner hall of the Heavenly Master.
I saw that the Heavenly Master had a very great appearance, and the law was **. The eyes are blazing, and there is a look of not being angry and self-assured. Behind him, the Dharma protectors on both sides stood with their hands down.
Many of these are omitted.
The Heavenly Master said: "Your master has reported to me on your trip to Hubei this time. You handled it very satisfactorily, in addition to a harm to the local area, but also won glory for my Daomen. The day before yesterday, I had already reported this matter to the Heavenly Court, and the Ancestor wanted to reward you, so as to set an example for the new batch of disciples and grandchildren. ”
"What the younger generation did was just what a Taoist disciple should do, and I really didn't dare to ask for a reward. To be able to meet the Celestial Master and receive your praise is already a supreme honor, and it has won any reward in this world. I said quickly.
The Heavenly Master glanced at the master, and Zhengse said, "Old Ancestor Heavenly Master's intentions, do you dare to disobey it?"
"This ...... The juniors didn't dare, but ....." I turned my head to look at the master.
The master said: "This is the meaning of the old ancestor Heavenly Master, and it is also your master's personal reward, which cannot be shirked. ”
"Yes. ”
"At present, it is an important period of revival of traditional Chinese culture, and my Taoism has always emphasized the nature of Taoism and taking advantage of the trend. Not only the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but all parts of the country need people to preach the Tao and spread the orthodox ideas of Taoism. ”
"In Beijing, there is a Taoist temple called Dongyue Temple, which is dedicated to Dongyue the Great. Seal you to go there and be an abbot. After speaking, he nodded to the master, and the long clothes floated away. Didn't even leave a chance for Shane.
The Heavenly Master rewarded him, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he packed up after returning and set off for Beijing in a short time.
Dongyue Temple is located in Chaowai Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and is the largest temple of our Taoist Zhengyi School in North China.
It has a history of more than 600 years since it was first built, and has experienced the destruction of war and many expansions, so it has become the largest Taoist temple in northern China, known as the first Taoist temple in northern China.
The main hall Daizong Treasure Hall is magnificent, enshrined to the Emperor and the Empress of Dongyue, and is the main building of Dongyue Temple. In addition, there are also buildings such as the Yude Hall and the Jade Emperor Palace, and the garden is also very elegantly built.
There are more than 3,000 statues of gods in the whole temple, the characters are different in shape, vivid and realistic, so there is the saying that "the gods of Dongyue Temple are the first in the world".
In addition, Dongyue Temple also has many unique style buildings such as Yude Palace, Jade Emperor Palace, Zhenwu Palace, Doumu Palace, Wenchang Emperor Palace, etc., as well as a quiet and elegant, large garden full of beautiful trees and strange flowers.
There is a stone plaque written by Yan Song, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, on the north and south sides of the middle room, 2.8 meters wide, 0.9 meters high, the north side is written "Yongyan Emperor Zuo", and the south face is engraved with "rank worship Daizong".
Originally, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple had already received a notice and greeted us from afar at the Zhandai Gate. Along the way, there are two stele pavilions on both sides of the Fu Road, which are covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the stele of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong is placed on the stele of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen inscription.
In front of the stele pavilion, there is a pair of newly made jade horses and bronze specials, which are said to be the mounts of Emperor Wenchang.
On the mountain gate, "The traitors in the yang world are all up to themselves, and the yin division will retribution, who will be let go throughout the ages." The couplets are often found in cross talk commentaries, and there are also folk stories about "clever ghosts, translucent monuments, and little golden beans do not suffer." This is where the proverb comes from.
All the way to the apse, several apprentices were excited when they saw this, as if the country girl had entered the city, looking and turning around, as if everything was so novel and full of curiosity.
The handover procedures are omitted.
For the first three days, I cleaned the court and sorted out the housekeeping. Although several apprentices were busy, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts, so they worked extra hard.
In the afternoon of this day, it was almost dusk. Suddenly, Shan Xian screamed "ah", which provoked everyone in the temple to hurry to check.
Shan Heng was the closest and the first to arrive. Hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, what's the situation?"
Shan Xian's face was already pale with fright, and she pointed to a door that had been sealed for a long time and said, "That back, that back......"
After saying these two sentences, he was already too nervous to speak.
I think this Shanxian also followed me through the rivers and lakes, and he should be calm about any scene. To be scared like this, it must be something extraordinary.
Shan Heng walked to the door gently like a great enemy at this time, and then kicked hard, the moment the door was kicked open, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
