Chapter 140: Introduction to the Sacrifice
It was September, and the autumn equinox was approaching, and for the sake of the ceremony, Ulona went to the Golan Hall every day to discuss with Quan Erzhen. Zhao Shutun, as the head of the guest, is even more responsible, helping to open the list, list the gods, and repeatedly consider the arrangement of the ceremony.
Yi Mu Xun and Fan Naling were even worse, personally supervised, opened the shrine several times, stared at the people to sprinkle and sweep, packed up the offerings, and cleaned up the upper room to prepare for the collection of the list of sacrifices. Yu Yiwei never left an inch, diligent day and night.
Up and down the palace, the concubines and concubines, in no one's place, only read the [Wudoumi Teaching Ceremony], [Sanguan Handbook] and [Zhou Li Dazongbo] hard. lest one of them be careless and make mistakes. In the past, it was not theoretical, and when the ministers gathered, they could not be laughed at. Otherwise, there will be a reproach.
Ming Yi watched coldly, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu's influence is huge and profound! Caught off guard, his intuition tightened behind his ears, and an evil word came out: "Are you familiar with the scientific instruments?" ”
Suddenly looking back, it was no one else, but Zhang Qiu's mouth. Looking closely, he was dressed in a crimson silk robe, with Zixuan dyed Luo hakama as a match, and covered with a Polo leather jacket, which was very flattering to his curled black lacquer sideburns, and the end was full of charm. The gold bead rope strung with black bead threads, a number of hair behind the ears, and the straight facial features, like a heavenly soldier descending to earth, make people unforgettable.
Ming Yi swallowed her saliva and muttered: How come the men around him, one by one, are handsome, and they say strangely that there is no grass at the end of the world! She obediently said: "I remember the rough, the details are lacking, and it will be smooth." ”
Zhang Qiu: "How was the tea prepared that day?" ”
Mingyi: "The snow of the mountains is water, the wood of the mulberry tree is the salary, the silver tea kettle is cooked, and the ginger flower apple grass cake is cooked." ”
Zhang Qiu said again: "It's not worth anything, it's just disrespectful." ”
Ming Yi sneered: "Take a peek and know the world!" ”
Zhang Qiu was embarrassed: "Speak human words!" ”
Ming Yi: "The Tao is natural, and the tea ceremony must be done from here, which is more desirable." You are more familiar with Taoist rituals than I am, but you are far less familiar with learning and applying them than I am. ”
Zhang Qiu bowed: "Mountains and rivers are used as screens, and rivers and rivers can support people." Nanzhao is not as good as the Central Plains, and there are many slangs who are struggling for their livelihood. Counting from the head, the upper-class nobles and officials are forced to study outside of the needs of national politics! Most tribes, as well as all the barbarians, white barbarians, and slang, simply do not have this kind of cognition. Not to mention the elegance of tea, it is really difficult to do. ”
Mingyi: "You're not just a random person. ”
……
On the other hand, because he couldn't say goodbye to Ming Yi, Mu Fengyan was quite uncomfortable. Zheng Manli had no choice but to take the Shang family's father and son, and Mu Fengyan to the Tuzhu Temple to pay respects.
Zheng Manli: "There is a Bodhi tree in the temple. As he spoke, he led them to the main hall, and walked westward.
Shang Chen: "I thought it was deliberately put up to deceive, but there really is such a tree." ”
Mu Fengyan: "I'm afraid it's not as good as four or five people." ”
Shang Qing: "The trunk of the tree is towering, the branches are covered, and the leaves are two or three inches long, like loquat but smoother than it." ”
Zheng Manli: "The local people say: its flowers are also white and pale yellow, the petals are like lotus, two or three inches long, each flower has twelve petals, and one petal is added in the leap year." With the slight size of a flower, and according to the number of heaven, not only the energy of the spring should be carved, but also the ability of the object to measure the image, which is also strange. ”
When he saw someone coming to chop the bark, he said, "They live in the village next door." As soon as there is a social day, I will come to pick some residual flowers and burn moxibustion. The moxibustion tree is the same as the moxibustion body, and the disease should be solved by moxibustion. ”
Shang Chen smiled: "The people repay the beauty." The worship of the land lord of Nanzhao is more secular, with the kindness of the ancients to reward the land for carrying all things and giving birth to all things. Since the landlord has become a local protector, the duties and powers of the mountain god and the land are basically the same. The mountain god and the land god naturally became the companion worship of the earth lord in the earth lord temple, sharing incense with the earth lord and protecting the people. This is a situation in which the worship of the earth lord and the Taoist god are mixed with each other. ”
