Chapter 9 The Eight Directions Ceremony Enters the Four Peaks
By July, the frost had fallen, and the strange road behind the house was white. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The cool breeze has a letter, squeezing the door and pushing the window, causing a lot of trouble in the house. Wear your clothes lightly, put on your shoes skillfully, hold the deadbolt of the door, and cover the window. After a while, there was no invasion. The beautiful scenery of the Yiren in the dream is leisurely and indifferent......
"Mother! What about my dad and my brother? Mo Liang rubbed his eyes and asked Xu Shiyan, who was in the kitchen.
"Your father went to the village to discuss the matter of worshipping ancestors in the village the day after tomorrow, your brother has already gotten up to read books and practice in the morning, how can he be like you!" Xu Shiyan tapped Mo Liang's head and said.
Mo Liang stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to morning exercise with my brother...", before Xu Shiyan could speak, he ran away.
But said that Mo Xuan, according to the method of vomiting that Mo Qingxuan said, he practiced for half an hour before going to bed last night and when he got up this morning, and it was really effective, and he didn't feel the fatigue after yesterday's competition. After waking up in the morning, he thought that there was nothing to do, so he recalled what the directors of the family had missed yesterday and what he lacked, and used the Mo family sword to evolve the moves in front of the door. He was so engrossed that he didn't notice Mo Liang standing aside.
"Brother!" Mo Liang shouted, "I can't see the reason for the comparison alone, let's try it!" ”
Mo Xuan was taken aback by this younger brother, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, I am worried that there is no one with me, and it is not good to disturb your sleep, it just so happened that you got up." After saying that, he discarded the wooden stick in his hand, intending to use his fists and kicks.
Mo Liang understood what his brother meant, and said, "Then I'll use Zhang Yan's medical acupoints and Wang Mu's Taoist boxing techniques that I learned yesterday to have a discussion with you!" ”
After the two finished speaking, they both put on a posture, and Mo Liang said first: "Be careful, brother!" Then a move collapsed and the fist was used, and the fist qi was close to Mo Xuan
Mo Xuan also felt an inexplicable pressure when he was about a foot away, and thought: "I didn't expect my brother to be so powerful, I haven't studied with him since I learned martial arts, so I really have a big gap with him!" But Mo Xuan didn't panic, unfolded the five steps, quickly dodged, and then changed his footwork and got close to Mo Liang! But he knew that his qi practice had not yet reached the point of using his fist, so he had to gather his qi in his arm, and then attack it with his fist!
Mo Liangqing knew this, and he didn't break out of his fist, and he was close to his brother's competition. Although the learning time of this boxing method is still short, and the basic skills of the two are still weak, if the Taoist predecessors who specialize in boxing come to see it, they will definitely be able to see at a glance that the two of them are frivolous and unstable, and this is a flaw! Although the Taoist boxing method must be exerted with exclusive footwork in order to exert its power, but fortunately, the understanding of the two people is different from ordinary people, and they can barely match each other with Lingshu footwork, and the moves are also decent, plus the strength of the two is already the best in this generation, even stronger than the parents of the village, and the power is naturally not to be underestimated.
The two of you come and go, one punches out, the other either dodges with his body, or resists with his palm, but there is no move that can hurt the other party with a hard touch, and after more than a dozen moves, Mo Conscience knows that if he punches again, his brother will definitely use his palm to resist. But he saw Mo Liang punch out, and then changed his moves, turning his fingers into fists, and his two fingers went straight to the palm of Mo Xuan's right hand.
Mo Xuan suddenly felt a burst of soreness, knowing that he had been hit by Mo Liang's acupoints, only to feel a strange aura surging from his palm to his shoulder, and then his arm was no longer strong.
Mo Liang thought that he had already hit the point and had an advantage, so he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the right side of Mo Xuan. I saw a punch in his right hand, thinking that the victory was in his hands. Unexpectedly, Mo Xuan could still grab Mo Liang with his right hand, and then slapped it with his left hand, hitting Mo Liang's chest, but he didn't use his strength to stop it, only patted Mo Liang on his chest and withdrew it.
"Brother, you're careless..."Mo Xuan smiled.
But Mo Liang was at a loss, and said strangely: "What's the matter?" I clearly hit the Lao Gong acupoint in your palm and inject it with qi, which should make your right hand weak! ”
"As early as yesterday, after the first competition, I consulted my father and asked him if there was a way to crack the acupoints." Mo Xuan explained, "Actually, it's very simple, this acupoint kung fu is nothing more than using qi to seal the main acupuncture points on a person's body, so that people can't use their strength in the way of blocking the blood and blood essence, but as long as I use my own qi to flush away the strange aura of the acupuncture points, the acupoints will be unlocked." Unless you have a complicated method to get through several major acupuncture points, or your qi is several times thicker than mine, so that I can't break away. ”
Mo conscience knew that he had lost, and said: "No, no, this is obviously fraud, my father actually taught you this method but didn't say it, and you didn't tell me clearly, let me fall for it!" ”
Mo Xuan knew that he couldn't take this younger brother, so he had to laugh and say, "Okay! Good! That's if I lose, come on! ”
"It's not uncommon, if you lose, you lose, this time you win, but next time I won't be so careless!" Mo Liang turned around.
"Rare or not, you and I still need to cultivate more!" Mo Xuan said.
Mo Liang knew it in his heart, but he also began to ask his brother for advice on other martial arts moves, for fear that he and his father would have some tricks to hide from him.
The two of you talked for a while, but it was Xu Shiyan who shouted: "Mo Xuan Moliang, which of you two went to the ancestral hall to see if your father was busy with things, why did he go out early in the morning, and now he hasn't come back, and the meal is almost cold!" ”
The brothers replied in unison: "Got it! But both of them were going to run towards the ancestral hall, and Mo Liang said: "Since the first game is a boxing competition, and you still have an advantage, then let's try the body method in this game to see whose spiritual footwork is more exquisite!" ”
"Just what I want!" Mo Xuan said.
The two of them were about to take a step after they stood up, but it was Mo Liang who exclaimed, "Brother! Look, what's behind you! ”
Mo Xuan turned his head to look, but he didn't find anything, knowing that Mo Liang was cheating, turning around, Mo Liang had already run forward more than ten meters away with six square steps, and then hurriedly chased after him.
The alley in front of the Mojia house is about 50 meters, connecting the main street of the village, and the ancestral hall is in the center of the village. The two walked through the alley, but fortunately, the people in the village were now busy with sacrifices, and the streets were much more deserted than they used to be. Few people know about the competition between the two and the street, and if they are placed in normal times, the two will definitely be scolded bloody.
Speaking of the competition, Mo Xuan lagged behind Mo Liang at the beginning, and kept trying his best to catch up, but he was never able to get closer. When the two of them approached the entrance of the ancestral hall, they were even farther apart than before. Before entering the door, a group of people stepped out of the door of the ancestral hall, and there was Mo Qingxuan in the middle.
"Dad, is it over? My mother is at home, let me urge you! Mo Liang said.
"Well, let's go back!" Mo Qingxuan said.
The three of them walked together, all of them were silent, and then when they got home, it was Xu Shiyan who nagged the father and son for a long time. Then Mo Qingxuan continued: "This ancestor worship is similar to most of the past, and someone in our family has been selected, so there is no need to prepare more!" You take the time to pack up for them, and after tomorrow, it's time to leave the day after tomorrow! ”
When Xu Shiyan heard this, she didn't want to think about it, but she was still mentioned by her husband. Although she was reluctant to have her own children, but she had to separate, so contradictory she had been bored all morning, and she wanted to ease it by nagging the three of them, but she still couldn't do anything, so she had to force her face: "I know!" ”
"You two should be more careful in this business, and being fortunate enough to be taught by a few sages in the Four Great Peaks is the blessing of my Mo family! You two have to practice more. Because my father is stupid, I only understand the surface of the mentions, but I can see that you two will be far better than me, and you two will think for yourself! ”
The next day, the brothers also practiced their father's Tu Na kung fu step by step, and they just stayed at home and accompanied their mother Xu Shiyan in their spare time.....
In a blink of an eye, on the day of ancestor worship, the sun had just jumped out of the mountain, but it had already been seen: hundreds of households were covered with green gauze tents, hung lanterns, leaned on stilts, and greeted the high platform. Lion and dragon dances, blowing sheng and selling out, each family kills pigs and sheep, and the food is fragrant. There was a table of dishes at the door of each house, and there were fourteen dishes on the table for the eight people selected in the Zhuzi Theory to enjoy! Every time the team arrives at a house, each family will make their own green cloth and white flowers to the send-off team, and embroider the expectations of a family with silver thread on it, until the last one is collected, and then put all the green cloth and white flowers under the green bamboo peak, and then let the group worship in that line!
The eight people who were selected were the first time to see such pomp and circumstance in the village, and the most lively in the past was nothing more than Chinese New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival, but those compared to this, after all, the festival is every year, and this ancestor worship is once every ten years, each family attaches great importance to it, and dare not slacken! When the eight people arrived at the house, each family also saluted the eight people and sent their blessings. In their eyes, these eight people are the beautiful hope of the village, when the group arrived at Liu Jie's house, they saw Liu Jie's family waiting at the door, and the group saw Liu Jie's hands wrapped in bandages standing beside Liu Fang, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, Mo Liang was even more at a loss, but they saw Liu Jie smiling at everyone, and then followed his father to salute, and nodded to Mo Liang to show that it was okay. When Mo Liang saw this, he let go of the big stone in his heart.
Pedestrians walked on the bluestone slabs, the noise was noisy, and the dust was blowing. Some people laugh and some tears, the front lion dance is the main way, there is a golden dragon on the left and right, and the sheng flute band plays behind. Hanging hair carefree flowers laugh, touching stilts, climbing high platforms, next to adults to learn the appearance, fun and annoying. A team of people came to the foot of Qingzhu Peak, only to see a circular wooden platform set up under Qingzhu Peak, and the family members of the eight selected people were already waiting on the wooden platform. Among the waiting crowd were four gentlemen, and they had to preside over the sacrifice.
Bian Fan said: "The auspicious time is coming, and the eight virtuous people are invited to come to the stage to make a big salute." "Among the eight people, they went up to the center of the wooden platform in order of the order of the Zhuzi Theory, and the rest of the group stayed under the wooden platform.
Eight people arrived at the top of the wooden platform, took a closer look, and saw that the wooden platform was placed on a wooden table in the southeast and northwest, each with an object, all of which were made of jade, with Qinggui to the east, to the south with Chizhang, to the west with white amber, and to the north with Xuanhuang. Then, a square wooden table was placed in the center of the wooden table, and a cangbi was placed in the center of the wooden table as a ceremonial day, and a yellow cong was placed directly below the cangbi as a ceremonial place, which was the "six instruments". There is also a three-legged black and brown incense burner on the wooden table, the outer carving of the double dragon is day by day, lifelike, and three long yellow incense sticks are inserted on the top, and the smoke is misty. The rest, the sacrificial three lives were also placed on the table.
Bian Fan looked up at the sky, and then said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, everyone walk with me to give a big gift!" Everyone present was solemn and listened attentively.
"A sacrifice to the sky, God blesses longevity and good fortune show, heaven and man are one, divided and united, people are born, heaven is above, so one sacrifice to the sky!" After Bian Fan finished speaking, he led everyone to bow three times to the east.
"Two sacrifices to the earth, the earth gives birth to grains and cultivates all things, heaven and earth are one, and all things are born according to heaven and earth, and the earth is below, so the two sacrifice land!" After Bian Fan finished speaking, he led everyone to bow due west three times.
"Three sacrifices to the ancestors, the ancestors fell in this square circle, spread good customs, inherit the mysticism, the people are wise and not stupid, so the ancestors of the three sacrifices!" With this, Bian Fan bowed three times to the south.
"The four sacrifices to parents, I was born and taught by my parents, I understand skills, know conduct, can be governor and be a person, so I am the four sacrifice parents!" Bian Fan continued: "Eight of you, bow to your parents three times!" ”
These eight boys, since the governor, have only paid tribute to their ancestors on New Year's holidays, and they only know that they should teach me and raise me. As soon as he said the words of the four sacrifices, he turned his mind to realize that his parents had worked hard, and if he really had too little filial piety, he felt grateful to his parents in his heart, and made three great gifts to his parents.
After Bian Fan finished saluting, he said loudly: "Play the 'Youping Chapter' and hang the 'Green Cloth and White Flower Wish'." ”
The musical instruments below played in unison, accompanied by the sound of music, I saw the people holding the green cloth and white flowers that each family had written a prayer on it, slowly walked to the foot of the green bamboo peak, and then lit a fire with paper media, and burned all the prayers to the ancestors, in order to seek more blessings and virtues.
"The great gift has passed, please let the eight virtuous people go up the mountain on their own!" Bian Fandao.
I saw that the Mo Xuan brothers looked at their parents silently, unwilling to leave for a long time. But it was Mo Qingxuan who nodded at the two and said, "You can't stay when you go away, it's not that you can't see it, you don't have to be like this, let's go!" The brothers took the burden and turned and walked away slowly.
Gongsun Wen and his grandfather Gongsun Yu were whispering something, but Gongsun Wen still had the same face, but Gongsun Wen was a little reluctant to leave.
"Let's go, Brother Gongsun!" Zhang Yan said.
In this way, the eight boys walked into the next trail of Qingzhu Peak together, what kind of cultivation journey will they embark on?
