Chapter 51: Ask God to open the light
Early the next morning, the temple began to get busy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoToday it was a good day, the sky was clear and the sky was blue. God changed his gloomy face from the past, and rarely became peaceful, and even the north wind that was whistling and cold as a knife in the past was gone. It is like a sunny spring, especially on the top of the mountain where the mountain temple is located, the original yellow mountain forest, there is a faint hint of green, in this cold winter, the new year is not coming, it is even more magical.
All this is naturally not a face-saving face, but the result of Chen's own "manifestation". Thinking about it back then, I was tired and half dead when I asked for the rain, and I almost fell short. By now, I have cultivated to be diligent, and if I want to control the weather, drive the wind and clouds, etc., it is no longer a problem.
In the main hall of the mountain god, the sound of scriptures continues. Time and Mi asked, Mi Dao and they got up early, changed into Taoist clothes and began to pray for blessings and chant scriptures for the statue of the mountain god in the mountain temple. Although he was unfamiliar, he followed the scriptures word by word very carefully and did not dare to slack off. It was rare for him to change into a gorgeous robe and stand on top of the main hall.
Outside the mountain temple, there were many villagers who volunteered to help to maintain order, and before dawn, a large number of believers were already waiting outside the mountain gate. I don't know when the rules of "burning incense" arose, and Lichen was speechless about it.
Worship the gods is important in the heart and the soul, not that you will be able to get the blessing of the gods if you are in front of the incense. But for thousands of years, it has been falsely spread, and nothing has become something. I didn't have the time to explain the rules of worship. At least be willing to get up early and burn incense in front of others, at least sincerity is okay. I don't know if it's sincere.
As soon as the hour arrived, the dust made a gesture, and the door of the mountain temple slowly opened. The first to arrive must be the villagers in the vicinity. One by one, they came in with incense and candles. There are many people who work hard to maintain it, otherwise there will definitely be chaos.
There are scriptures in the main hall, and the statue of the god has not yet been opened, and the worshippers can burn incense in the courtyard. There is a large incense burner there, which can take on the incense of the four directions. This is not for the mountain god (the mountain god has not come yet!). Rather, it is for the gods of heaven and earth and of the four directions.
There were quite a lot of people coming, and soon the entire mountain temple was filled with fireworks, and it seemed that the courtyard could not be filled. Lichen had no choice but to arrange for the pilgrims who had already finished the incense to wait outside for one or two first, and let the believers who had not yet made the incense come first to finish the incense.
The crowd was bustling, making it look like a vegetable market. When the villagers came, they really brought their wives and children, and it was similar to a family trip. Some people even brought breakfast, so they found a tree stump outside the mountain temple and ate it, and they were really convinced.
Later, it was obvious that the people who came again were people of more status, dressed in gorgeous clothes, carrying family servants, and rushing to pay homage to incense. The voices of the villagers around the alley were much quieter. lest I offend such a large group of "big masters".
It's just that in front of the gods, all beings are equal. Lichen doesn't want to make a god in front of the "wealth" theory. Such a Taoist temple is better than a fire.
In the eyes of the gods, there is only sincerity, and the more money there is for the so-called merit incense, the more blessings you will receive from the gods. Can gods be bought by worldly money? It's nothing more than a group of monks and Taoists who see money and collect money in the name of gods. This in itself is a great disrespectful sin to trade "gods".
The sun is getting higher and higher, and the mountains are already full of people. It's bustling and it's not lively. Seeing that noon was approaching, a group of officials came in the distance. There is a gong in front to open the way, and there are three classes of officials in the back. There are also a few wagons in the middle. Apparently it was the "incumbent official" who came to pay the incense.
He smiled, but he didn't feel anything. It's just that the mountain temple has such a big fanfare from the local officials who send incense offerings, but it can endorse this small temple, and it can save a lot of trouble in the future.
It was the new county magistrate of Mizhi County who came. He also brought his mother and wife with him. After offering three animal tributes and offering incense devoutly, people also brought a quick plaque. This is not what the county master said, but the mansion personally entrusted him to send it.
Suddenly, he had instructed the "Mansion Zun" not to easily reveal his whereabouts, but he didn't come, but he sent such a big plaque. I have a heart.
The dust was lit and ordered to hang the plaque of "Blessing on the side of the blessing" in front of the temple. After looking at the sky, he confessed. It's about to start lighting up the spirit of the mountain god.
Taoist enlightenment has its own set of rituals. From loading stolen goods, to chanting, to all kinds of rituals. There was a solemnity above the main hall, and the inside and outside of the temple were surprisingly quiet.
From purifying the body, purifying the heart, purifying the mouth, and then to the golden light, please finish the mantra of the eight gods of God, and burn incense to frame. There was a surprisingly reassuring feeling permeating the air. Thinking that the grace of God had first appeared, the people immediately fell to their knees and worshipped with devotion.
After the scriptures were delivered, Lichen stood in front of the incense case, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, and reciting words in his mouth, but his soul had already left his body, entered the kingdom of the mountain god here, and went to greet him in person.
The mountain temple has been dilapidated for a long time, and the divine kingdom of the mountain god is no longer bright. Lichen walked in the kingdom of God, looked at the dilapidated kingdom in front of him, compared his own kingdom, shook his head and sighed.
The gods are paid tribute by the incense of the four directions, so they should naturally protect one side. It's a pity that many gods are thinking about this incense from all directions, but they forget where the incense comes from. If you are reluctant to bless and do not want to be contaminated with the cause and effect of sentient beings, there will naturally be no incense believers. I only think about the "income" of the incense wish. But he was reluctant to give back. Naturally, it is inevitable that the believers will be lost, and the kingdom of God will be ruined.
At least the mountain god master that Lichen saw was already dim now, and he was about to fall off the god position. A few days ago, when Lichen asked him to borrow Yin soldiers, he found that the mountain god master's breath was obviously weak, and his divinity was dim.
The mountain god knew that the dust was coming, and he didn't dare to slack off. Immediately went to his own shrine and received Chen.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" After making a mistake in the dust, he directly explained his intention to the mountain god.
After hearing this, the mountain god felt as if he had been hit in the head by such a big pie. Hi was so surprised from the sky that he couldn't close his mouth.
After talking about the past, he made a request. asked for a temple for nothing, but the dust was not so kind. Nature is also conditional.
Although the mountain god is small, he is also a righteous god. What the dust needs is for the mountain god to truly protect one side and benefit the believers from all over the world. By the way, he also endorsed the five members of the mountain temple and did the backstage. Help them collect the fruits of the four directions and convert the people. If it is the same as before, only knowing the power of accepting incense and wishing, and not willing to perform the priesthood, Lichen will never mind when he comes back, change this mountain temple to a god and re-seal the god.
The mountain god saw that he was about to fall from the god position, and now it is easy to "get the grace of heaven" and have another chance to come back.
After talking to the mountain god, the spirit instantly returned to the body, opened his eyes, and stepped on the seven stars. The peachwood magic sword waved and shouted: "Point Spirit". There was no movement, and the seven lotus lamps in front of the god case lit up one by one. Before everyone could react from the profound Taoism of the "Immortal Master", the dust peach wood sword was painted and shouted: "The true spirit is in place, and the divine light is revealed!" ”
After drinking the order, the red cloth on the mountain god's body actually fell on its own, and a faint mountain god statue appeared in front of a group of pilgrims.
There is a strange fragrance wafting, there is a divine light emerging, and there is a celebration looming. For the sake of the mountain temple, the dust can be said to have lost all the "festivals". It also frightened countless people.
The sound of "the manifestation of the mountain god" continued, and countless believers worshipped sincerely up and down the mountain. If there were no other turmoil, the mountain temple would have really been erected.
"Look! The mountain god has really appeared! There was a roar outside the mountain temple, and the believers who had just finished kneeling down found that the hill occupied by the mountain temple and the surrounding area suddenly changed color, and the mountains and forests were verdant and flowers were blooming. All the mountains are purple and red, and the bees and butterflies are dancing. It's like spring. When I started to enter the mountain, I felt that something was wrong. It seems that the climate around the mountain temple is very different, and I thought it was a little early this spring. Now in an instant, the green mountains have returned to green, and a hundred flowers are blooming. Isn't this a manifestation of the mountain god?
After the mountain god came, Lichen naturally left the main hall and went to the back to rest by himself. Receiving pilgrims and asking God for divination, naturally they have a time to worry about it. This will be their "main business" for a long time to come. That's all I can help with. Whether or not they can accumulate some merit depends on what they do in the future.
Just as Lichen returned to the ashram to prepare to meditate and practice, Lichen suddenly frowned, and his divine consciousness spread out. Surprised, he muttered, "Ding Sanfat didn't die?" ”
A man who should have died a long time ago came to burn incense!
Lichen couldn't care about meditating anymore, and immediately turned around and walked briskly towards the front of the main hall. (To be continued.) )
