Chapter 14: The Horse Ceremony
In fact, I didn't sleep too much this night, although tomorrow's protagonist is Qi Mengmeng, but I, the master of ceremonies and the master of the way, are more nervous than her. I'm afraid of making a mistake, and I'm afraid that I'll stumble when I'm in a hurry.
At five o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the sound of Qi Mengmeng calling. The immortals who found her were already lined up neatly, and it was Chi Fengnian who led the sect leaders in the house. The rest, from the hallway all the way to the outside of the unit door.
In the middle of the room, the altar of the seven stars has been set up, and everything is placed on the table. There is also a table opposite the offering table, which is placed in the middle of the living room, on which is the paper bridge, paper horse, paper city, a golden copper basin in the middle of the city, which is filled with five-color rice, and a five-color flag is inserted on it.
There are a total of three incense burner bowls on the offering table next to the wall, there is a token in the niche, in front of the incense burner is a sword, Chi Fengnian holds a big seal, and there is a command flag in the middle of the five-color flag of the copper basin. It happened to be the Lingqi Sword Seal of Qi Mengmeng's Tang Camp, which was different from me at the beginning, it was all directly manifested, and mortals could also see it.
Chi Fengnian stood in front of the offering table with a big seal in his hand, and there was a Taishi chair of old yellow sandalwood on the left and right sides of the offering table, and my master and the Jinhua sect leader were dressed in joy and sat on two chairs.
I saw that everything was ready, so I immediately rushed into the bathroom, quickly washed up, and waited for the departure ceremony to begin.
At this time, Qi Mengmeng was still calling one after another, only to hear her say to the other end of the phone: "Yes, it's Building No. 4, you put all the manhole covers downstairs on, prepare what should be prepared, and then wait downstairs, no need to come up." โ
I heard a rough idea, it seemed to be a etiquette company. Seeing Qi Mengmeng put down the phone, I leaned in and asked her, "Sister, is it from the etiquette company?" Let's go out and not get married, what are we doing with manhole covers? Didn't you hire a master of ceremonies, do I have a speech or something? โ
Qi Mengmeng didn't look in a hurry, and said to me with a smile: "Brother Tianci, your life is different, so your original ceremony was much simpler." Going out of the horse is almost the same as getting married, both are major events in life. The sewer well is a place where filth gathers, and even if the upper well is a well, it is a place where the air circulates in the yin, and the manhole cover is pasted to prevent washing. โ
"Brother Tianci, you should break the test for others, right? It should be known that everyone's calamity is related to the five elements, but in addition to the five elements, there are also red and white. Red is not only marriage, all happy events are considered red things, joy is very sad, red evil is also called fierce. And Bai Sha is generally the last breath of a dying person, swallowed and happily reported to the underworld, and if he couldn't swallow it, he was led out by people who were close, which was called disaster. That's what I used to say about suffering, and being hit by the breath that the dead didn't swallow can lead to serious illness at least and fatal at worst. โ
"Oh. I've really broken it, I know some of this, I'm just asking, haha. I tried to calm my unsteady heartbeat and said with a haha.
Unexpectedly, my uneasiness was noticed by her, and she smiled bitterly: "Brother Tianci, why do I see that you are more nervous than me?" You don't need any scripts, just play on the spot. In fact, if the ceremony is not ceremonial, it is a passing scene, and you can just be the host. โ
When I heard her say that, I thought the same. What I'm most worried about is that I don't understand anything, and if I break a taboo, I won't be good to her or something. But after she said it, I remembered that there was no difference between her before she went out and when she went out of the horse, she herself was the reincarnation of a celestial, and her immortals could also follow her to do things.
In other words, when she didn't come down from Ma Manjushri, her old fairy would be able to go to the Asura Realm with her. Now this is also the meaning of the meaning, which is equivalent to obtaining the certificate and having children, which means to make up a wedding.
Thinking of this, my mood is indeed a lot calmer, it would be false to say that I am not nervous at all, but it is much stronger than just now.
"God, it's almost time, quickly clothe the hall with red and green." My master sat down at the offering table and reminded me joyfully.
"Oh." I said yes, and immediately ran to the two batches of cloth on the table.
There are no ordinary people in the room except for Qi Mengmeng and me, seeing me pick up the green cloth, several of Qi Mengmeng's immortals stretched out their hands one after another, and the things placed on the table immediately floated up, making room for me.
One thing to say here is that the so-called red and green are actually hung in the front and red in the back. Some halls are hung green is the meaning, especially the Buddha hall, generally use yellow cloth pads to offer to the table, and then hang a green line.
Qi Mengmeng's house is very particular, I was also present when I cut this green cloth yesterday, the length and width are three feet and three squares, no more, no less.
While spreading the green cloth diagonally on the table, I learned the tone of the master of ceremonies and sang joy: "The green cloth is three feet three, please go down the mountain, accumulate merit in the red dust, and prove the fruit of ten heavens." โ
When I finished singing, all four corners were folded. My master looked at me with a funny face, and the immortals of Qi Mengmeng looked very happy, and put the incense burner and other things back on the offering table.
I hurriedly picked up the red cloth again, folded it into strips, tied a big red flower in the middle, and then hung it on the niche, tied it into a tassel on both sides, and sang while wearing red: "The red cloth is five feet five, the dragon descends and the tiger is subdued, the earth horse is a great merit, and I am willing to endure the suffering." โ
In fact, I have been preparing for this joy for two days, and the immortals are cheering with joy again.
"Haha, Brother Tianci won't starve to death when he becomes a master of ceremonies in the future, aren't you very powerful." When I heard this, I turned my head and found that Qi Mengmeng had changed her clothes, her whole body was covered in white yarn, and her hair was tied up high with white yarn, dressed like Guanyin Bodhisattva.
I laughed and didn't speak, don't say it, it seems that I really found that little feeling, it's quite enjoyable. The next call said that everything was ready, I walked in front with the prepared box first, and Qi Mengmeng followed me downstairs.
From the corridor to the unit door, there are all Qi Mengmeng's immortals, but they don't have the killing atmosphere that I had when I first came out, and they are all female fairies, and the noise is really like attending a wedding.
When we got downstairs, the sound salute below was ready, and the manhole covers nearby were covered with red paper. The ground is covered with red stalls that lead to the unit doors. In addition to the ceremonial company, there are many onlookers.
In addition, I also saw a group of people gathered together to say a few dozens, including yesterday's aunt and eldest sister, I guess it was probably Qi Mengmeng who saw the patient, that is, the people in the patient group.
I didn't see Lin Dong's figure, I don't know if this guy was lifted up by Ao yesterday and was scared when he went home.
A buddy from the etiquette company asked me if I was the master who led the way, and I said yes, but this guy handed me the microphone without saying a word. I asked Qi Mengmeng stupidly, which step to start with.
Qi Mengmeng told me that he would directly drive the horse and break the horse lock and worship the seven stars together. I looked around and found that none of the stewards had come down, so I asked her, "Which immortal is doing this work, tell me the name." โ
Unexpectedly, Qi Mengmeng smiled slightly and said to me, "I'll just come by myself." โ
I was dumbfounded, for the first time I had heard that a horse could kick a horse and break a horse's lock. But since she had said so, I simply took out an oversized incense burner from the box, and lit a handful of one hundred and eight incense sticks and stuck it in it.
Qi Mengmeng nodded at me, and I picked up the microphone and began to speak in the vernacular: "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sword is sharpened." Ms. Qi Mengmeng was reincarnated as a celestial being, and she made a wish to purify all sentient beings, and finally came out today after hardships. I believe that from today onwards, she will bring us auspiciousness, will bless the party, and the following horse will be opened and the horse lock ceremony will begin! โ
Along with my words, the sound engineer cast a great compassion spell. I'm a little curious, Qi Mengmeng is the reincarnation of heaven, why does she still put on Buddhist music.
Just thinking about it, I saw Qi Mengmeng standing in front of the incense burner and stretching out her hand. The thick incense mist instantly condensed together, forming the shape of a chain, locking her in circles. The scene of this artifact, no one was surprised when they watched the excitement next to them, and they all folded their hands towards Qi Mengmeng.
It seems that He Fuli was right when he said at the beginning, Qi Mengmeng has a villa at home, she never lives in it, but treats and saves people in the old house, it seems that these neighbors know her magic.
I looked at Qi Mengmeng curiously, wanting to see how she could break free of the horse, and I was dumbfounded when I watched the next scene. Qi Mengmeng nodded again, and the incense mist conjured up a big lock, locking the iron chain with a click.
Is this going to be a tripping horse and a lock? These things are all condensed by karma of cause and effect, and it is basically impossible to open them without the help of the immortal family, she is so big, in case she falls off the chain, isn't it a shame to lose her hair?
Before I could finish thinking about it, Qi Meng didn't move, and with a gentle blow, the sound of "click" sounded. The horse lock shattered into countless pieces and turned back into smoke. Then she stretched her shoulders again, and the lock was as weak as a hair, and it broke and disappeared.
I only realized at this time that Qi Mengmeng was the reincarnation of a celestial being, and I was the recondensed soul of the bitter realm. We both have no karma, and this horse stumbles only in its form and has no substance, so it's no wonder she says she wants to come by herself.
At this time, I didn't hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Ms. Qi Mengmeng is blessed by heaven and man, and the heart of a bodhisattva is good, because she has no karma, so she can break the horse lock by herself." The four seasons of spring in the world are the head, and the blessings need to be grateful. โ
Hearing this, Qi Mengmeng took a handful of incense from the hand of the etiquette company next to him, and then began to worship in all directions. Every worship, the weighing pole placed in the porcelain plate will turn around, and I will see all kinds of light hitting the weighing pole with my eyes, which is recognized by the heavenly immortals and Buddhas.
After worshipping, Qi Mengmeng inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then unfolded the expression in his hand and recited: "Today, there is a land Qi Mengmeng, and the Nine Heavens Si Ming Zhenjun." Congenital Fallen Spirit Monarch. In front of the throne of Emperor Zitong in Wenchang, he bowed down, and the divine grace was vast and incomprehensible. Shengze is majestic and responds to all requests. The right to examine good and evil. The handle of the master's merits ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท"
After reciting slowly for a long time, a few words were silently recited in his mouth, and the expression began to burn from both sides, and it was not a spiritual fire. There were no ashes after the text was burned, and the smoke that was visible to the naked eye in the shape of tokens shot straight into the sky.
Qi Mengmeng took the microphone in my hand at this time, and said with a smile: "Thank you for watching the ceremony, the old fairy has instructions, and the rest of the steps are not suitable for outsiders to watch, everyone please go back." There are rules in heaven that do not allow the Dharma to be manifested to mortals, but all kinds of visions today are also a kind of kindness to you. After contemplating, we should think that there is indeed cause and effect in the world, and in the future, everyone will not do all evil, and all good will be pursued. The yang world is not self-disciplined, and the yin is boundless. โ
After listening to Qi Mengmeng's teachings, these people who had already been saved by her clasped their hands together, and then reluctantly dispersed. There were still some who were reluctant to leave, and they didn't follow up, chatting with each other downstairs.
When Qi Mengmeng and I went upstairs, the etiquette company lit two firecrackers, and at the same time, the salutes began to sound one after another, a total of 9981 sounds.
