Chapter 47: Boredom and Torment

The morning class is carried out from the mountainside hall, and the Taoists who have been awarded the urn are from the Taiqing Hall in the west, and the Taoists who have not been awarded the urn are from the Sanqing Hall in the east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The main content of the morning class is to chant the scriptures, each person has a round futon, sit on it, the leading singer stands in front of the statue of Sanqing under the left of the altar, there is a platform in front of him, a wooden fish copper chime is placed on it, and the wooden fish and the copper chime will be knocked from time to time when chanting, a sentence is finished, the wooden fish rings, a section is finished, and the copper chime sounds.

Taoist sitting is different from ordinary people sitting cross-sitting, Taoist priests are double-plated, the left foot presses the right knee, and the right foot puts the left knee, this kind of cross-sitting posture is more special, it is difficult for beginners to do, and they can only use the ordinary cross-sitting posture.

At the same time, it is also required to sit cross-legged, with the waist straight, the eyebrows and eyes closed, and the hands from the lower abdomen to embrace yin and yang, which is a kind of primary finger technique, with both hands bent and overlapped, and the thumbs gently touched.

Most of the new initiates have made some necessary preparations before entering the mountain gate, and memorizing the compulsory scriptures is one of them, and these people can recite the scriptures fluently as soon as they get started. However, Nanfeng was not among them, and he was really not interested in the boring scriptures, and only memorized a small part of the morning and evening scriptures.

Fortunately, there are a large number of people in the hall, and he can support himself and fill the number indiscriminately.

The Taoist priest's chanting voice is very small, and his tone is light, even if everyone sings together, the voice is not awake and deafening, and he must lower his eyebrows and close his eyes, so it didn't take long for Nanfeng to start sleepy, but this is his first morning class, if he falls asleep, he will be ridiculed by everyone, and he can only beat his spirit and suffer time.

At first, he hummed twice, but then he didn't even hum anymore, and he didn't listen to the content of the morning class, and all that was left in his mind was the "dong" of the wooden fish and the "ding" of the copper chime.

"Knock knock, knock, ding. Knock knock knock, ding......."

At first, the wooden fish "dong" can make the south wind sober up a little, but then the sound of the wooden fish is not good, only the crisp "ding" of the copper chime can also make him lift some spirits, and then finally, the "ding" is almost bad, just when the south wind is about to fall asleep, the "bang" of the copper bell came from the top of the mountain, and the morning class is over.

"Oh, my mother, this chanting is not a good livelihood, it is better to empty the toilet. Nanfeng got up and left the hall with everyone.

After the morning class, the Taoist went back to the room, and those who had not been taught earlier, went down the mountain to exercise after the morning class. But these Taoists who had just started were left behind by Tiangangzi, who first taught everyone how to put on incense, and then taught everyone to sit and walk.

Taoist priests also pay attention to incense, which can only be singular, one three, five, seven nine, and one is Changxiang, that is, daily incense. The three branches are incense, which belongs to the more formal incense. The five branches are incense, which are used to ask the ancestors and divinate the good fortune. The seven sticks are Dharma incense, which will be used when making the method. The nine sticks are ceremonial incense, which are used when inviting God.

There are also requirements for the ignition and insertion of incense, which can not be blown by mouth, can not be swinged, three are a line, and then inserted backwards, at most three rows.

The others were listening attentively, but Nanfeng was thinking wildly, if the front one was inserted first, wouldn't it be easy for the back one to burn his hands? Also, if you ask the gods to burn incense, will you be in a hurry when you subdue demons and eliminate demons, and it is difficult to say to the monster, "Slow down, let me light the incense?"

Three religions and nine streams, the three religions are not Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but Yuqing, Taiqing, Shangqing three religions, three Taoist people all belong to nobles, since they are nobles, there must be certain requirements for sitting and walking.

Sit upright, with your hips straight, your buttocks can't be pushed back, your upper body needs to be straight, and your shoulders can't be crooked.

Standing is to stand upright, with a degree of tightness, not too loose and not too stiff, too loose and no righteousness, too tight and no noble.

There are also requirements for walking, after the soles of the feet touch the ground, the center of gravity shifts to the heels, the stride length can not be too large or too small, too large stride length seems reckless and unintentional, and too small stride length looks cowardly and timid. There are also rules for swinging arms, you can't swing or swing randomly, you can't bend your elbows, and you can't bend your elbows too much.

This is the first morning class for newcomers, and Tiangangzi, as the head of the Xia He Palace, naturally has to respond to the scene, but he is only in response to the scene, and after teaching the basic skills, he handed over the next things to the ministry of the Xia and the Palace.

Sitting and standing are relatively simple, but the difficult thing is walking, and the ministry requires everyone to practice walking in a team of ten according to what Tiangangzi said, and he observes and guides from the side.

Seeing that the crowd was walking in an ugly way, the ministry stopped the crowd and let them walk one by one.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's not for you to go up to the court, what are you pacing?"

"Slow, slow, what are you in a hurry to do?"

"You've never been demon-possessed, and you only walk on your toes. ā€

"Which lady are you? You're not graceful and swaying, you're twisting your waist and sending your hips, it's not beautiful, you know? ā€

"Jump, you're a zombie? Come back and walk over again. ā€

"What do you do with your hands hanging down and putting them on your chest, and it's not for you to get married in a sedan chair. Why are you so stupid that you hang down and you don't move vertically?"

The more critical the ministry is, the more nervous the people become, and the more nervous they are, the more mistakes they make.

"Oops, right leg in front, left hand in front?"

"What are you laughing at? You, fat baby with baring front teeth, come out, you go. ā€

"You're not a duck, shake something, just laugh at others like this, go back and stand up. Don't think that your father is Zongzheng, I won't dare to beat you, Ling Yinzi, bring me the bamboo board. ā€

So, most of the people followed the fat man to the bamboo board, but Nanfeng didn't suffer, he didn't suffer not because he was a disciple of the sect, but because he walked the most naturally, neither nervous nor slack.

"See, that's right," Xu praised Nanfeng, "The so-called avenue is natural, and it must be disciplined and not too rigid." ā€

Nanfeng was praised, he was in a good mood, and he had a good impression of this Xu Ministry, but unfortunately Xu Ministry's hands were later slapped by Zheng Xian's hands raised on his chest, so the impression was not as good as before.

I didn't do anything else in the morning, just practiced walking, and finally stayed up until breakfast, and after breakfast, I began to suffer again, and the new Taoist needs to learn the scriptures, learn in the dining hall of the lower and temple, sit and listen.

Mr. was invited from the Dian Zang Palace, two old masters, one class in the morning, to teach the Tao Te Ching, and one class in the afternoon, to talk about the Taiqing Sutra.

Not only have to listen, but also have to memorize, the three disciples of the sect sit in the front, which has become the key target of the old gentleman, Nanfeng lost three times a day, and the next day forced the son of Zongzheng, who was beaten in the morning, to sit in the front, the little fat man's father is a big official, he didn't want to go, but he was kicked twice by Nanfeng, so he went.

The fat man replaced Nanfeng in front of him, Nanfeng sat in the back and dozed off, and later bullied the old mage and was dazzled, so he simply slept on the table.

In this way, after three days of boiling, Nanfeng really couldn't stand it anymore, and he knew that these boring things were indeed useful, but he just couldn't keep up his spirits. He also knew that he couldn't get people's attention, but he just didn't like to sit in class and listen to the scriptures.

So he went to find Tianchengzi, but Tianchengzi only taught, and did not follow his heart and help him find a mission to skip class.

After listening to it for another day, I still felt tormented, so I went to find Apocalypse, but was scolded back by Apocalypse.

In fact, compared with other new Taoists, he is still lucky, because he doesn't have to go to the lectures at night, others listen to lectures during the day, and at night they have to go to his master to learn the Cave God Sutra, which is the first of the nine Sutras.

There is fruit in the mountains in autumn, and the south wind through a few days of observation, found that the class is not named and counted, so he sneaked out to pick the fruit, and when he came back, he used a bag of Taoist robes to give it to a fellow worker, and everyone got his benefits, so they did not complain, if Mr. asked, he said that he was still there just now, and he went to the thatched house.

They are all half-sized, few can really calm down, seeing the joy of the south wind, there is the courage to go with him, at first the two of them are together, and then they are in groups, and there can be less than a dozen in the last class.

You can't do bad things, there are too many people, and if there are many people, it's a bad thing, and in the end it's a bad thing.

But after two days of honesty, Nanfeng couldn't sit still again, and slipped away again, and he had money on him, so he ran out to buy wine and fruits, and went to the secular palace to drink with a friend from the past.

His actions naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Tianchengzi and others, and after everyone visited, they decided to draw money from the bottom of the kettle, treat the disease, and move Nanfeng's seat to the left of Zheng Xian.

The move worked wonders, and since then, Nanfeng has stopped skipping classes......
