Follow the flow of people to the mountain, from time to time you can hear the sound of firecrackers, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, it is really festive. The square at the entrance of the Taoist temple has been paved with cement, and there are pilgrims entering and exiting the door.

Walking into the view, there are stalls for fortune telling, unsealing, and medical treatment in the wings on both sides, which are the old crafts of those uncles. Uncles can set up a stall alone.

Walking from the patio, the second hall is dedicated to the Sanqing patriarch, and a few junior disciples are busy handing incense to the guests and shaking lots. I also took Su Yun to take the sandalwood in the hands of my junior brother and bowed down with the pilgrims. The head of the Sanqing patriarch is majestic.

Uncle Shi and the junior brothers have all entered the role, they are all people with inheritance and experience in the rivers and lakes, and they know what they want to do.

After bowing to the Shenxiao Patriarch, we walked out from the side door. Not far from the side gate is the canteen, which provides free meals for pilgrims.

I found an empty table and sat down, and the little sister brought us fried noodles and clear soup. This little sister is only eighteen years old, and because her family has passed away one after another, she has always been depressed.

I looked at her and said thank you. Then she smiled, it was beautiful. She used to have a tense face all day long, but now a smile appeared on her face, like an iceberg melting.

Su Yun glanced at the little junior sister who went back to the kitchen, and asked curiously, Uncle Heng, how many senior sisters are there in our view? I said there are three of them, including you. So little, huh? She said incredulously with her mouth wide open. I said, why don't you go and bring dozens of classmates, sisters, and girlfriends over? Everyone calls you Senior Sister, okay?

Su Yun laughed and said that this is not a high-paying company, how can anyone like to be a Taoist!

After dinner, I took her to see the master, and the master looked at Su Yun embarrassed and said, the little girl is difficult to bring, or you will teach the teacher on behalf of the teacher, right?

Dumped so quickly? What's the deal with a little girl behind my ass? But I couldn't go against my master's wishes, so I had to reluctantly agree.

The apprenticeship ceremony is scheduled on the opening day. Now we have to get a place to stay for her! Find your sister Xiaolan and give Su Yun to her.

After a while, Su Yun came out in a Taoist uniform, with a Taoist bun on his head and a hat on his head. She is relatively thin herself, and now when she wears a uniform, it makes people shine, and she looks so good. Xiaolan took her to recognize people, and more than a dozen senior uncles and more than a dozen senior sisters and brothers had to meet once.

Hey! Why don't you just let Xiaolan take her? That's good!

The appearance of Suyun has become a beautiful scenery of Nanzhenguan. Wandering around every day, teasing my brother, touching my uncle's beard, chasing chickens and catching dogs, making chickens and dogs jump in the Taoist temple.

I heard that there is a female Taoist priest, who is very beautiful. The Taoist temple will come to many young people every day to enter the incense, people are incense, the eyes are looking everywhere, for a time the Taoist temple is like a market.

I went to the master's old house to take a look, and the old house was ripped away and a three-story brick and concrete structure was built. It's almost built now, and in a few months, I'll have to find a way to get my family to move over.

In early spring, there is a lot of rain, and it is drizzling every day, which will affect the opening ceremony. The day before the sting, the master communicated with the god of thunder and the god of rain, so that they could be stunned on this day.

Jiang Ming brought twenty juniors and disciples to help open the business and live temporarily in the town. The fat man came alone, but brought a lot of gifts. Now that there are more than 20 people, my heart is more steady.

On the opening day, many cooks came early in the morning and took over the canteen. Today's meals are all contracted by them. All members of Nanzhenguan should participate in the opening and apprenticeship ceremony. More than 20 people from the planning company also came to make various arrangements for the venue.

This is the canopy mountain in Nancun, and Xiaolan made more than a dozen canopy umbrellas and inserted them at the door of the Taoist temple. A slippery canopy umbrella, the hanging tassels fluttering in the wind, echoing with the flags around the Taoist temple.

All of them put on all kinds of solemn costumes and waited in two rows at the door. The master wears a new purple vestment, which is the special costume for the master. More than a dozen uncles are all new white flower clothes and legal clothes, which are particularly energetic and imposing. The green robe and Taoist uniform and square hat that our juniors wear uniformly.

Xiaolan took her two junior sisters to bring stools to the master and the uncles, let the master sit in the middle, and the uncle sat on both sides, and began to take group photos. I stood behind the master, flanked by Xiaolan and Suyun. Then there were the uncles lined up on both sides, and their apprentices were also standing behind them.

Today's opening will become the glorious history of Shenxiao Pai Nan Zhenguan, which we will remember for a lifetime, so we must take pictures. I took a photo with my master, and then with my two sisters. Other uncles also took photos with their disciples.

This day has been waiting for everyone for too long, and now that the temple is completed and the grand industry is opened, you can meditate and cultivate yourself in the future.

Towards noon, the sun sneaked out and was no longer as wet as it had been in the morning. On the mountain road in the distance, costumed guests gradually came, all of whom were colleagues from the nearby Taoist temples and small temples who came to watch the ceremony. There are also people from the Le'an County Folk and Religious Investigation Bureau, and the Taoist temple is managed by the local investigation bureau.

Behind the guests was Jiang Ming's master Ge Zhangmen, followed by Jiang Ming's uncle Zou Shiyi.

Uncle Chenghuang led me, greeted them one by one, and then ushered me into a seat. After all the arrangements were placed, the juniors and disciples served tea.

The old peasant set up a table at the entrance of the Taoist temple and was responsible for receiving gifts and gifts, which were carried into the temple by Jiang Ming's disciples for safekeeping.

I went over to greet Ge Zhangmen, and then led him to the ear room tea room to meet my master. In fact, the two have known each other for a long time, but they don't communicate much. Today is a big day, and the two also talked happily with each other, and finally sighed that the other party had accepted a good apprentice.

In fact, the fate of the master and me, as well as Master Ge, is very similar to Jiang Ming. They are all dilapidated Taoist temples and there is no successor, and now there are not only people, but Taoist temples can also develop. So they all have a common topic, and they feel close.

Near noon, the master of ceremonies began to play the guzheng music and then auditioned. It's time for the apprenticeship ceremony.

In the square, in addition to the guests, there were many nearby pilgrims, counting three hundred people. These pilgrims also heard the news of the opening and came to watch the ceremony.

In the background of melodious guzheng music, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, the master and his uncles sat upright on the chairs under the canopy. They each held their own magic weapons, including dust, tokens, jade wats, and mahogany swords.

Xiaolan and I stood solemnly behind the master to add to the sense of ceremony. Su Yun knelt on the futon in front of the master, and the master read out the "Apprenticeship Table".

The "Apprenticeship Table" is written with the Dharma name of the current head of the Shenxiao Sect Nanzhenguan, as well as the name of the apprentice and the eight characters of his birthday. Finally, ignite the "Apprenticeship Table", let the fire god deliver to heaven, and report to Sanqing.

The apprentice listened to the title of the Tao, and then bowed three times and bowed to the master, and then offered five buckets of rice. Taoism is also known as the Five Buckets of Rice Religion, and apprentices must hand over five buckets of rice, which is only part of the ceremony.

After the ceremony, together with the brothers and sisters, they went to the temple to worship the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty and the patriarch of this sect, as well as the ancestors of the past dynasties. Xiaolan and I have both worshiped the ancestor and the ancestor, so I am the senior brother, Xiaolan is the senior sister, and then Suyun is the junior sister.

The apprentices of the masters and uncles are ranked separately, but we are in the same line, so the three of them are all big, and this is the generation. The apprentices of the uncles have to call us brothers and sisters.

After the ceremony, the master and uncles guided the guests to worship the incense and bow to the dining hall. The cooks had already set up dozens of tables of delicacies outside the dining hall.

After each of them was seated, the master spoke, said some blessings, and the guests toasted to each other.

The master took the uncles to toast the guests one by one, thanked them for coming all the way to watch the ceremony, and each presented a big red envelope as a return gift.

The opening ceremony lasted all day. In the evening, the guests were sent away one after another, and finally Jiang Ming's juniors and disciples were sent away, and this day was over. Uncle Shi took the junior disciples to start cleaning, while I accompanied Jiang Ming and the fat man.

Jiang Ming and the fat man stayed for one night, arranged for them to live in my room, and we walked to the top of the mountain to sit on the big rock and talk. They were all very envious of me and said that it would be nice to be able to bring my family over to live in the future. The air here is good, the environment is good, and the master can take care of it.

The three of them drank beer, sipped peanuts, and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. They sighed to each other that they had been running around in the past few years, but fortunately, the three of them did not die in a certain pursuit, which allowed us to go further on the path of cultivation.

They stayed in the temple for three days, and then they went back to their respective homes. After sending them away, I practiced hard in the meditation.

The Taoist priest who lives in the temple has to do his homework every morning and evening, that is, he recites the scriptures in the Sanqing Palace. "Dong Xuan Lingbao Three Caves Feng Daoke Martial Arts" said: "The four public three caves can often be traveled day and night, so it is called the Chang Dynasty."

'Changchao' refers to morning and evening homework, mainly chanting mantras, sutras, and edicts. The morning and evening lessons of the Gongguan Taoist priests begin with the 'opening of the scriptures' or 'incense' and end with the 'twelve vows' and the 'three refuges'.

The morning class consists of three parts, one is to recite the 'Pure Heart Mantra'. The second is to recite 'Taishang Laojun said that the Sutra is always pure'. The third is to recite 'Yuqing Bao'.

The evening class consists of two parts, one is to recite the 'Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Ten Directions to Save Suffering'. The second is to recite 'Doumu Bao'.

The purpose of Taoist priests' morning and evening homework is to cultivate the Tao and maintain health. The mantras, sutras, and verses can produce huge mental power after collective recitation, and the blessing of incense is edified, and the stronger the mental power, the more the person who recites it will have a mysterious feeling.

After the morning class, the master told me that there were too few scriptures in the meditation and asked me to buy them. Where did you buy this book? I'm confused.

The master knocked on my head angrily, saying that he had to find a way, such a big person, and he still had to ask me? All right! I'll figure it out myself.

Su Yun and Xiaolan next to me were laughing, and I touched my head and glanced at them. Seeing the master go away, Su Yun came over and touched my head and said, does my brother hurt? Would you like to blow it on you?

I opened her hand and asked where I could buy the books. Xiaolan said she didn't know! It should be a big Taoist temple! Big Taoist temple? Dragon Tiger Mountain? Right! It's Dragon Tiger Mountain!

Aren't there a lot of magic weapons, Longhu Mountain? Yes, I'll go to Longhu Mountain to have a look. Ask the two sisters if they want to go together? Naturally, they are willing to go along, isn't this the time to have fun?

Let Xiaolan go and ask the master, and we will drive to Longhu Mountain. When I arrived at Longhu Mountain, it was already afternoon.

At the mountain gate, he explained his intention to the Taoist boy, and he said that you go up to the parking lot in the middle of the mountain and wait, and I will call the scripture hall and ask them to come and pick you up.

After parking the car, we got out of the car and waited. Xiaolan and Suyun came here for the first time, so it felt very fresh and strange to see everywhere.

Xiaolan said, Longhu Mountain is so big! Senior brother, you see, they have Taoist temples on each mountain, and their eyes are dazzled.

I smiled faintly and said that I had been here and accompanied Jiang Ming to give the ceremony. Xiaolan said that he was the handsome guy who stayed in our watch for a few nights? I nodded. She asked Jiang Ming's 'Zhengyi Weimeng Jing' over?

glanced at Xiaolan, I was afraid that her heart couldn't stand it. I said that Jiang Ming was promoted to three levels in a row, and Zhang Tianshi personally taught the 'Three Caves and Five Thunder Sutras'.

Xiaolan covered her mouth with her hands and gasped. Staring wide-eyed and saying, Wow! Terrible! That's amazing! It's the same as our master.

Su Yun didn't understand what conferring a urn was, so she shook Xiaolan's arm and asked, what is the three-level three-hole one? Xiaolan asked her, what degree do you study? Su Yun said that she had failed her undergraduate course and didn't want to read it.

Xiaolan said that Jiang Ming is now equivalent to a postdoctoral fellow who graduated from a doctoral program, do you say it is powerful? Su Yun also said in surprise, that handsome guy is so powerful?

Xiaolan asked me and Jiang Ming, who is more powerful? I said maybe a tie like that! Xiaolan took another breath of cool air, and she was not afraid of her stomach hurting if she inhaled too much cold air. She pointed to me, where you, you, you.

I said okay, don't say it, someone from the scripture hall is coming.

A Taoist boy came on the road, came over and gave me a Taoist salute with one hand, and sang: Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Did you ask the Taoist friend to buy the scriptures?

I also replied to a Taoist salute, followed by a call for Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Su Yun covered her mouth and laughed there. I said I wanted to buy some scriptures.

Dao Tong glanced at Su Yun and said without sadness or joy, please come with me. Let's follow the Taoist boy.

Su Yun had just cultivated for a few days, except for the day when the Taoist temple opened, he heard a few sounds of Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, and basically never heard it.

Therefore, it is very novel to greet Taoist priests, and it is inevitable that they will laugh. The Taoist also saw that she was only twenty years old, so she didn't scold her.

All the way to the scripture hall, which is an oversized wooden building. It covers an area of at least five or six hundred square meters, with three floors, and the doors and windows are all made of wooden grilles and rice paper, which looks antique. The main entrance is written with the huge words "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", which is so imposing!

We were all stunned, such a big place, covering an area similar to our Nanzhen Temple, how much does it cost to build?

Dao Tong looked at us happily from the side. Wait until we close our mouths that are open in surprise before we say that you are not the first to be so surprised, and you will not be the last.

I gave him a thumbs up and said, you Longhu Mountain is really amazing. A scripture pavilion is bigger and more powerful than our Taoist temple.

Dao Tong said politely, I smiled, this is just a corner of our Longhu Mountain Temple.

The two junior sisters looked at him, how old is it or a corner?

We followed the Taoist boy into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and in a small room next to the door, there was an old Taoist priest reading the scriptures. The old Taoist priest had a gray beard and a pair of reading glasses, trying to make out the words on the book.

Dao Tong called the master and said that someone had brought it. The old Taoist priest nodded, and I greeted him again. Then he said that I was a member of the Shenxiao Sect Nanzhenguan and wanted to buy some scriptures for the temple.

The old Taoist priest put down the book, thought for a while and said, Shenxiao Sect? Nan Zhen Temple? Where is your Taoist temple?

I was a little embarrassed, arched my hand and said, Huagai Mountain, Nancun Township, Le'an County, Fuzhou City.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and glanced at the three of us. Say I remember that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, your Nanzhen Temple was destroyed, when was it rebuilt? Why haven't you heard of it?

I arched my hand again and said, back to the predecessors, Nanzhen Temple was built at the end of last year, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month invited Sanqing, after the Spring Festival stinging opened.

The old Taoist priest sighed, with an expression that was the same. He walked up and down with his hands behind his back, glanced back at the three of us, and walked a few more steps before he said to me;

"You Nanzhenguan, do you want to be our Longhu Mountain's descendant temple or jungle temple?"
