The Taoist rosary was first called "flowing beads". "Taishang Sanyuan Liuzhu Sutra" cloud: the use of white pearls, round and clear, as large as the tongzi 365 pieces, should be the degree of the stars, the sun and the moon will meet. Day and night, the sky is endless, such as the endless flow of water, the stars are round like pearls, so it is said that the pearls are also.

Due to the inherent Taoist idea of "heaven and man corresponding", Liuzhu also refers to other things in the human body, such as the cloud of "Shangqing Huangting Neijing Jing": "If you have the three palaces to store the Xuandan, the first-class Zhu'an Kunlun, the twelve rings of the pavilion, are all real people from the top to the bottom." From this, it can be seen that in the early days, especially in the practice of the Shangqing sect, the Taoist rosary was mainly used for internal refining and Dharma faith.

Taoist rosaries also have their own unique religious significance in terms of the number of beads, with 365 beads representing the degree of movement of the stars. The common one is one hundred and eight prayer beads: one hundred and eight represents the number of Zhou Tian's star dou movements, and it is also the sum of heaven and earth. The head bead represents the North Pole: the North Star is the vertical image, and the stars are arched.

Therefore, when turning the rosary, the head bead cannot be crossed, and the north star does not move. Therefore, when turning to the head bead, it should be turned around and continue to dial back, which is the meaning of the Zhou Tian cycle. There is a gourd-shaped bead above the head bead, and there are three orders on it, representing the three units.

There are also 12, 24, 28, 32, 36, 81 and so on. Twelve represents the twelve thunder gates, twenty-four represents the twenty-four qi, thirty-two represents the thirty-two heavenly gods, thirty-six lessons represent the number of Tiangang and evil, eighty-one represents the eighty-one transformation of Laojun, and also represents the ninety-nine pure yang qi.

After Yang Jibin took the string of true incense prayer beads, he gently stroked them, only to feel that each of the ninety-nine eighty-one beads was smooth and abnormal, and the beads contained a trace of aura and mental power, and there was a cool feeling between the tentacles. It's refreshing. After the blessing of the masters of the Taoist sect in the past dynasties, this string of beads has been advanced into a magic weapon, which has the ability to suppress evil and exorcise demons.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, incense has occupied an important position in religion and incense culture, and even an indispensable daily item for people, judging from the records of Tang poetry. In the Tang Dynasty, Taoist temples and dignitaries often used to reduce true incense. Jiao Xingchen uses true incense, which shows that true incense plays an important role in Taoist sacrificial ceremonies.

The fragrance is rich in flavonoids, which have a variety of biological activities, such as analgesic, hemostatic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Xinwen is non-toxic, children bring it to ward off evil qi, treat wounds, gold sores, stop bleeding and pain, reduce swelling and muscles." ‘

"It's an eye-opener to be here today. The brothers brought the best. Brother Yun, how many shots are you going to make with this string of beads? Yang Jibin was very excited, this string of beads is just right for the master.

"Brother, do you dare to be interested? I don't say dark words, this string of beads was not worth much when I bought it, I spent 5,000 yuan to buy it from a Taoist temple. My brother is an insider, so you can watch it as a home! "Yun Anguo, this can be regarded as selling Wang Zhiyi's face.

"Brother Yun, he is a bold person. I'm not scared. I bought this string of beads mainly as a gift for my master, and I like this string of beads very much. As for the price of 500,000 yuan, what do you think? "Yang Jibin is not a bad man, but this string of beads is far from worth the price.

"Okay, the little brother is really a young hero, he values righteousness over profit, and he is generous. I'm really convinced. Although Taoism is a native sect of China, after all, Taoism is much less than Buddhism, and the believers are far inferior to Buddhism.

"Then I'll thank Brother Yun, I accept this love. If you have any useful little brother in the future, please feel free to ask! Yang Jibin happily took the string of beads.

"Brother is polite, you sell and I buy, fair trade, there is no one who owes anyone!" Yun Anguo didn't care at all about what Yang Jibin said about owing personal favors, and he didn't think that he would be able to find him for help in the future.

"Hey, this fool, you don't know Taishan with eyes!" Wang Zhiyi looked at Yun Anguo's disapproving appearance, and secretly felt sorry for him in his heart, Yang Jibin, this kid is unfathomable, and his energy is great.

"Yang Jibin, just this broken bead, you are willing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy it? In this thrift market, this kind of beads are more than a few dollars and dozens of dollars! Xu Xuenan couldn't figure it out, even if this bead was made of gold, it wasn't necessarily worth 500,000, right?

"It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I like it!" After Yang Jibin finished speaking, he smiled and said nothing.

"Come on, you, you have money and nowhere to spend it, this is stupid and has a lot of money!" followed Yang Jibin to learn badly, and Xu Xuenan also came up with a very fashionable joke.

After a while, a mature and very charming woman walked onto the auction table and announced in a loud voice: The auction has officially begun!

Don't see that there are only more than 20 people, but all of them are high-quality products, no less than the number of rare treasures in a large-scale trade fair, and the total turnover is as high as tens of millions of yuan.

After a while, the small trading auction ended, and after Yang Jibin followed Wang Zhiyi to transfer the money to Yun Anguo first, he took advantage of the time to wander around the underground trading market.

"Sixth, if it's okay, you can settle down, it's already very risky to take you here, don't have any crooked thoughts at the fair!" In the small trading room, Suo Liqun, who was full of scum, said to a middle-aged man beside him. This middle-aged man is Suo Yuhu, a fugitive who is being wanted by the whole country and the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

"Second brother, I'll just go for a casual walk, can I just take a break? There are people in the circle in this basement, and even if they know who I am, nothing will happen, not to mention that I wear makeup. You don't know how suffocating I am these days! Since he narrowly escaped from the deep mountains and forests that night and returned to his hometown of Suizhou City, Suo Yuhu has lived in seclusion to avoid the limelight.

"Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, my Suo family is now a big move, not only the government is keeping an eye on us, but even those families who are not in the stream are eyeing us, which has to be guarded against." Suo Liqun handed out a cigarette, and after lighting it for Suo Yuhu, he also lit a cigarette himself, and took a puff of beauty. "The green mountains left behind, I'm not afraid of no firewood, there is news that five of your brothers over there have been sentenced to death, three have been sentenced to death with a reprieve, and four have been sentenced to life imprisonment, and the others will not be mentioned."

"This damn Huang Jianye, one day I will cramp and peel him to relieve the hatred in my heart. Second brother, is there really no way to save my brothers? Suo Yuhu said hatefully.

"What can be done, the matter over there is too much trouble, and now as many people as you go there have to be involved. When you ran away from home, it was good to be able to break through that foundation, but you didn't know how to restrain yourself. Fortunately, even if you are alert and can pick up a life, you will be able to cultivate yourself in the past few years! ”

"Alas, how can I be worthy of those brothers who trust me with life and death, if they didn't fight to the death and buy me time, how could I come back!" Suo Yuhu said very painfully. (To be continued......)
