Chapter 40: Setting Up the Altar
Yang Banxian'er seemed to be a little worried, and said, "Brother Chuqi, what if the buffalo spirit appears tonight ,,,." ”
I shook my head and smiled: "Although the spiritual intelligence of the immortal cultivation animal is not high, its sensing ability is still very strong, and it would be good if it could come out tonight." ”
I don't say this because I have enough confidence in myself, but I have already alarmed the buffalo spirit when I asked for the earth qi at Ma Shunhong's house, and the demonic spirit came out fast but also went fast, presumably the guy I brought on me shocked it, presumably I will be fine here, but as long as I leave, the buffalo spirit will definitely come out,
Yang Banxian looked at me excitedly, and said in a sincere voice: "If I am not middle-aged, and I am many years older than you, I really want to kneel in front of you and worship a master." ”
I hurriedly stopped Yang Banxian'er's fist clenching, nodded heavily, and said: "Yang Daoyou, I can understand your desire to seek the Tao, but Taishang Laojun once said, the Tao is natural, why should you be too persistent, and I have just entered the Dao Gate not long ago, how can I be qualified to be a teacher, hehe." ”
If the master was still there,,, he would definitely accept this devout seeker, but it's a pity,,,
That night, I and Yang Ban Xian'er exchanged cultivation experience with each other, as well as all kinds of doubts and obstacles encountered, although I could not teach the method of Maoshan practice, but I told Yang Ban Xian'er one by one the essence of the Shangqing Sutra, and told all the taboos before and after the drawing.
Yang Ban Xian'er was also excited to sleep in the middle of the night, and he has comprehended the true mystery of these years and I have in-depth exchanges, I have benefited a lot, when meditating, after the guidance of Yang Ban Xian'er, I have made rapid progress, this night, can be said to be the most memorable night in my life, I am very fortunate to meet Yang Ban Xian'er such a mentor and friend, and even benefit for life,,,
After a night of cultivation, I have both the nourishment of the jade Buddha beads and the guidance of the sheep and half immortals, not only the spirit and spirit have been greatly improved, but also I have obviously taken a big step forward on the road of cultivation.
Because of the sheep and half fairies insisted on correcting, I had to change his name, although very reluctantly, but I had to follow the host, and the old sheep is also my only name for the sheep thousand people from now on,
Early in the morning, the old sheep was busy making breakfast, the so-called breakfast is actually a nest with a big bowl of clear soup rice porridge, but this kind of food is already a delicacy for me.
After eating, Lao Yang went to Hong Gengqing's house, first explained the situation to Hong Gengqing, and then prepared the altar with Hong Gengqing and Lao Yang, I put away the inscriptions and charms on the table, and when noon approached, I hurried to Hong Gengqing's house.
I don't know how the villagers of alpaca village got the news, they all gathered around Hong Gengqing's house, the courtyard wall was full of people, all of them looked at the fresh expressions with a smile, and when they saw me enter, the villagers were even more noisy, but more, they were extremely excited voices, yes, there was a drought for many years, the crops could not be planted, the grains were not harvested, there was no food to eat, there was no drink to drink, and they all tightened their stomachs and looked forward to the rain to fall earlier.
Hong Gengqing's home is a typical three-room mud house, but the roof is covered with a layer of green tiles that have long faded in color, the stove house is a little higher than Lao Yang's house, but it is also very poor, except for a thin mountain peach tree, the yard looks extremely desolate and depressed.
The altar is placed in the center of the house, and in front of the altar, there are five or six old people, presumably several elders in the village, and there is also an old man in a gray tunic about fifty years old, with a black pen pinned to his chest.
Ma Shunhong also waited here early in the morning, after seeing me, he was busy introducing each other, sure enough, this old man is the village chief of alpaca village, surnamed Ma, Ma Shunhong was particularly respectful when he introduced, and also called his second uncle Ma, I also followed the customs, called a second uncle Ma,
The village chief Ma Ershu said to me with a sad face: "The current society is gradually breaking the feudal superstition, as a village head, in fact, I don't believe in these superstitions, but this is also a way to do it, if the seventh little brother can really help us get rid of the demon and ask for rain in the alpaca village, I, as the village head, will bow to Mr. Big's grace on behalf of the whole village." ”
I smiled and said: "Second Uncle Ma is serious, if I can help the villagers get through this difficulty, I am also very happy, and I can also promote my spirit of Maoshan righteous path to subdue demons and demons, hehe." ”
After speaking, I glanced back at the villagers who were looking around, and then said to Second Uncle Ma: "Second Uncle Ma, can you please not disturb the villagers when I cast the spell, and if you have to watch, please keep quiet, so that I don't get distracted on the way to casting the spell." ”
Second Uncle Ma immediately nodded heavily and promised: "On the seventh day of the first month, even if you let it go, we will all support you, and I will appease the villagers, you can rest assured." ”
There are Ma Second Uncle words, I immediately nodded with reassurance, immediately walked to the old sheep, and said: "Today at noon, open the altar practice, the sun sets before the buffalo essence is drawn out, as soon as the sky is dark, the buffalo spirit will be sent to ride the yin wind, here, I also need the old sheep you help me protect the Dharma, remember that before the sun sets, all the idle people and other avoidance, especially women, the elderly and children, as well as those who belong to the fire, wood and earth, and unreliable, these people are either weak in physique, or have a restraint with the five elements of the buffalo spirit, in order not to make the buffalo essence suddenly change." I'll bother you, old sheep. ”
Lao Yang patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I will help you protect the altar and will not let any situation disturb your practice." ”
Hearing this, I didn't say anything, all trivial matters and distractions immediately put down, stepped forward to light three pillars of incense in the incense burner, and then sincerely announced to the gods of heaven and earth and the patriarch of Maoshan Mountain, after the announcement, I took out the money sword, held the sword with both hands, bent down to bow respectfully to the half moon, and placed it horizontally in front of the altar, and the charms and inscriptions were neatly placed.
After arranging everything, I closed my eyes slightly and waited quietly for noon to come,,,
As soon as noon arrived, I opened my eyes suddenly, swept the three bowls of water in front of the altar, pinched the upper end of the nectar mantra with my right hand, and instantly pinched out the sword fingers with my left hand, and then the mind together, at one point, the spell burned "Teng", I pinched the charm around the incense burner for a week, and then came back and then around the three bowls of water for a week, just at this time, the spell was about to burn out, I reached out two fingers to pinch the paper ash into the bowl, starting from the first bowl, along the edge of the bowl a circle, then the second bowl of water,,, the third bowl of water,,,
After swiping, I pinched the tip of my middle finger, lightly tapped the water in the bowl, and then flicked it three times outside the altar.
Immediately after that, I picked up the first bowl of water, first around the table for a circle, every step I took, a wisp of clear water popped out, and at the same time I read in my mouth: "The sorrowful husband has been suffering and suffering for a long night, and the fire in the throat is fierce in the three tu, and he often thinks about hunger and thirst, one sprinkles of nectar water is like hot and cool, the second is sprinkled with the water of the Dharma realm, and the third is sprinkled with compassion and water to moisten everything,,。 ”
