Chapter 697: Carving the Statue of the Three Qing Gods
While~~!
While~~!
The heavy and powerful bell rang throughout Longhu Mountain, and even the pilgrims who had been waiting at the bottom of the mountain could hear it clearly.
Nine bells rang, thousands of disciples all knelt down in unison, the disciples outside the hall bowed to the main hall, and the disciples inside the hall bowed to the ancestral heavenly master.
Standing up, Heavenly Master Xuanwu put the dust in his hand back on the offering table, and he turned around and shouted out of the door in a dark red Tai Chi robe.
"Open the mountain gate!!"
This sound resounded like a bell in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the disciple closest to the mountain gate quickly ran to the mountain gate and opened the gate.
Outside the door, those who were waiting to grab the first pillar of incense before it was dark couldn't wait, and immediately rushed in the moment the mountain gate opened.
And at this moment, suddenly five disciples wearing light blue Taoist robes directly blocked in front of everyone, stopping the people who were rushing in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the solemn place of Longhu Mountain, please don't mess up the order."
A disciple in his twenties said flatly, this kind of thing is not once or twice, every New Year's will rush to make incense, in order to prevent the stampede, the disciples will start from the mountain gate and go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to prevent the stampede.
The busy first day of the new year started at midnight, but this had nothing to do with Xiao Yao and Shen Ying, and they didn't have to take care of those pilgrims, and they went to bed early after eating Chinese New Year's Eve.
The fifty-fifth day of the first month is a big day, and Longhu Mountain is busy, and all the disciples can't wait to split themselves in half, and hit the back of their heads with their busy feet.
But after fifteen, there is a lot of leisure, after all, no one wants to run into the mountains in winter, and Longhu Mountain is rare to be idle.
After fifteen, Condensation Frost and Mark were ready to leave with their respective apprentices, and as soon as the Condensation Frost passed the New Year, they had to go back to prepare for Xiao Yao's divine presence.
Xiao Yao was six years old, and on the day of his sixth birthday, he had to hold a divine presence ceremony to officially step into cultivation.
There is no need to prepare too many things for the Divine Presence Ceremony, but basically everything needed needs to be completed by Xiao Yao himself, so Condensation Frost intends to let Xiao Yao take advantage of the past few months to prepare well.
Shen Ying's body has been initially stabilized, and what he has to do after that is to completely control the two forces in his body according to the cultivation method on the exercises, so that the whirlpool will merge into one in his body.
Therefore, Shen Ying didn't need to stay in Longhu Mountain to cultivate all the time, besides, there was condensation frost to watch, once the whirlpool in Shen Ying's body changed, the condensation frost could also be curbed as soon as possible.
Xuanwu Heavenly Master didn't keep it, but Yin Que was still very reluctant to let him two playmates, the three of them hugged each other and cried for a long time, and finally Xuanfeng said that he wanted Xiao Yaoshen to take Yin Que to watch the ceremony temporarily, and the three of them stopped crying.
On the day of the return trip, Xuanfeng took Yin Que to send the four of them to the train station, and Yin Que reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Yao and Shen Ying.
The winter in the north is not a little colder than in the south, Xiao Yao and Shen Ying also put on cotton clothes and cotton pants, but the thick and clumsy clothes did not stop the fiery hearts of the two bear children.
The two and the other children in the village began a dragon game of death for the northern winter bear children, snowball fights and ice skating.
The other children in the village, led by the two of them, gathered all the dogs in the village, and then tied them to each other with ropes, and made a large dog-pulled climbing plow, which could hold about ten children, and under the traction of more than ten dogs, the climbing plow flew on the river like flying.
Their group of bear children climbed the plough early and shouted and screamed excitedly, but they were tormented by the dozen or so dogs that pulled the plow, and they ran quickly with their tongues sticking out their tongues.
In the winter in the north, children can play with a lot more things than in the south, especially in a place like Xiao Yao, where there are mountains and rivers, more than a dozen children have red faces and snot that they don't know how to wipe when they cross the river, and they have completely become wild children running crazy on the frozen river.
In winter, the days are very short, and these children have nothing to play with at night, and they all shrink on the kang head one by one, and Xiao Yao is no exception.
Because the condensation frost did not make a kang, but buried some radiators on the ground and on the wall, but it had the effect of burning the kang, and the temperature in the room was higher, Xiao Yao sat on the bed, holding a piece of wood in his arms, and saw that he was carving little by little with a carving knife, and he couldn't see what was carved, but he could only see from the simple lines that it seemed to be a portrait.
"Master, this is too difficult, can I not carve it, can't I use your carving?"
Xiao Yao asked with a sad face, and the condensation cream that was peeling potatoes on the side.
"Of course not, you have to carve it with your own hands, Master, I used to come here like this, otherwise the presence of God will be invalid!"
The condensation cream didn't raise his head, the knife in his hand flew up and down, and in just a few seconds, a potato was peeled.
Xiao Yao's face became more bitter, but his hands did not stop and he was still carving hard.
"Master, what do you say the Sanqing Dao Ancestor looks like? Will it be more fierce than the village chief's grandfather? ”
Xiao Yao asked as he carved.
What he is practicing carving now is the statue of the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, but now he has not even carved a statue of the god, and the carving is not as good as the dog gnawed.
After hearing Xiao Yao's words, Condensation Frost shook his head and said, "Master doesn't know, Master also asked you this question when I was so big with you. ”
"What did the master say at the time?"
Xiao Yao asked curiously.
"He also said at the time that he didn't know, and told me that the face of the Dao Ancestor in everyone's heart is different, whether the face of the Dao Ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty is good or evil depends entirely on the state of mind of the person, you think he is good, he is good, you think he is evil, he is naturally evil, is good or evil, is laughing or crying, is beautiful or ugly, is it one eye or three eyes, it all depends on what you want him to look like in your heart."
Condensation Frost recalled what her master Ah Feng had said to her at that time, and now she told her apprentice as it was.
"Then Master, if I carve the Sanqing Dao Ancestor into the appearance of the sweet potato in the city, will I be fine?"
The sweet potato in Xiao Yao's mouth is not a real sweet potato, but the big yellow dog raised by Chen Ergou in the village, because the coat color is the same as the color of the peeled roasted sweet potato, so it is named sweet potato.
"You bear child, are you tight-skinned! Dare to slander Daozu Sanqing, is it not a beating! ”
Condensation Frost threw down the half-peeled potatoes and picked up the broom beside him.
Xiao Yao immediately said with a pitiful expression: "Master, you said, the Three Qing Dao Ancestors are different in everyone's hearts, then they have a sweet potato face in my heart, why can't I carve it like that, why do I have to be the same as the gods in the Taoist temple?" That's not the Sanqing Dao Ancestor in my heart, it's just the Sanqing in the Taoist Temple! ”。
The condensation cream was stunned by Xiao Yao's words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while, just like Ah Feng said, what Sanqing is like Everyone has a different answer in their hearts, so why can't Sanqing grow into what Xiao Yao said? But if you really carve the statue of Sanqing into a sweet potato, wouldn't it be blasphemy to Dao Ancestor, Condensation Frost didn't know how to answer.
