After I kowtowed three times, old man... Oh no, the godfather helped me up and said, "Your kid is my grandson now, and I'm not good at calling you Xiao Chenpi all the time, I'll call you Erzi (Yu) in the future." ”

I responded and said, "Godmaster, you can call it whatever you want." ”

The godfather rubbed my head happily, stood up, bowed to the altar, picked up the book from the altar and handed it to me, and then began to prepare the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, I asked curiously: "Does the godmaster want to remember something?" ”

The godfather shook his head and said, "It's not me who needs pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to remember things." After speaking, he pointed at me, "You need to remember." ”

I asked curiously, "Me?" Do I need to remember anything? ”

The godfather said while grinding ink: "Naturally, it is something that needs to be written down in the initiation ceremony. Even if you don't understand the meaning, write it down for me. You kid don't think that I can talk about such a thing as practicing spells, right? Of course, it is necessary to tell the patriarchs of the sect, as well as the masters of the past dynasties. The ink and pen are all ready for you, come and transcribe them. ”

I looked at the polished ink and brush with some embarrassment and said: "That godmaster, I don't know how to write with a brush, and now the school teaches fountain pen writing at most, and I usually use a pencil or water-based pen." ”

The godfather sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, you bring the book, I will help you transcribe the things you will remember tomorrow, and at the same time help you explain the meaning of remembering them." You have to remember to come here and learn calligraphy from me, otherwise you won't be able to draw charms. ”

I hurriedly said hello and thank you, and casually said a few words to pat my godfather's ass. And he took the book and walked over.

While holding the pen, the godfather asked me to turn the book to the first page and said, "There are many dates of the birth and death of my master on it, and you have to memorize them." Shigong refers to the people who have practiced the Fa in the past generations, and these are all my masters and ancestors, as well as your masters. There is a saying in cultivation called forgetting that the master's law is not effective, and if you want to practice the spell, you must have the support of the masters of the past dynasties to support the Yin Altar. What is the altar of hell? The mouth of the altar in the yang world is the yang altar, but the yang altar also corresponds to a yin altar in the underworld, that is, the masters of the past generations help to support you, without the support of the masters, if you want to practice this, you will be interfered by all kinds of lonely souls and demons in the underworld, but with the support of the masters, there will be no problems. So this must be memorized. ”

I nodded hurriedly, although I didn't understand too much, and there were many words that I didn't know. But in short, it is necessary to memorize the birthdays and deaths of these dozens of ancestors.

Later, the godmaster copied some content that I couldn't understand, and he didn't explain it to me, so he said that this was more difficult, and it would take a long time to learn to know, and it would not be able to explain it in a while. Tell me not to dig too deep, just memorize it well, and it will be beneficial to my future studies.

Looking at the content of more than 20 sheets, I can't help but feel a pain in my head, and it seems that I have to memorize it for a long time.

After the godfather had finished writing, he asked me to tell him my birthday, so that he could check the Tongsheng (perpetual calendar) and calculate it to determine which day was more suitable for me to join the church. While flipping through the book, the godfather occasionally tapped his other fingers with his thumb a few times, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was calculating what day was more appropriate.

After a few minutes, the godfather spoke: "Coincidentally, the most suitable day in the past two months is tomorrow, so let's do it tomorrow, you remember to come over before ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

I looked at the dozens of pages of rice paper in my hand, and if I joined the church tomorrow, then I would have to memorize this thing in a day. I haven't read a book for half a year, and when I was asked to memorize so much content, I was suddenly afraid, and I couldn't bear it. I began to think about discussing it with my godfather: "Godmaster, with so much content, I may not be able to memorize the melons in one night." ”

The godfather frowned and said, "If you want to do anything, you have to do it immediately, don't grind for me, like a girl." If you can't join tomorrow, you won't want to join the church, you know? Ears. ”

I raised my hands in surrender and replied helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go home and carry it right away, and the initiation ceremony will be held tomorrow." ”

After hearing this, the godmaster rubbed my head with a smile, and then pushed me out of the door: "Then you hurry up and go back to carry it, you must come before ten o'clock tomorrow." ”

I was pushed out of the house by my godfather without saying anything, and I haven't cooked dinner for my godfather yet, so I have no choice but to go back to my cousin's house first.

As soon as I returned home, I saw my cousin move a wicker chair and lie in front of his house, like salted fish drying outside the door. After seeing me, salted fish... Oh no, my cousin opened his mouth and said, "Hey, Xiao Chenpi came back so early today, it won't be kicked out." ”

I was angry and said, "Cousin, won't you say something nice?" I'm going to start tomorrow, so I'm going home early today and I'm going to memorize these things. After saying that, I waved the dozen sheets of rice paper in my hand.

When my cousin heard this, he got up from the wicker chair and told me to wait where I was, and I ran upstairs by myself. I was standing alone and at a loss, when I saw my cousin come back with a red envelope.

Could it be that my cousin wanted to congratulate me on joining the church and prepared a red envelope for me? I said embarrassed polite words as I took the red envelope from my cousin's hand. But when I got it in my hand, my joy was dashed, it was actually an empty red envelope.

I looked at my cousin suspiciously, trying to ask him to explain the purpose of giving me an empty red envelope.

My cousin said to me, "You bring this red envelope tomorrow, and you can stuff it as much as you want, and give it to the old man when you join the church." The more you give, the better it will be in the future. ”

I didn't understand what this principle was, and asked, "Is mana determined by the amount of money given?" ”

My cousin patted my head: "Mana is cultivated by yourself. What are you thinking? ”

I rubbed my head and said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say that the more money you give, the more you will use it in the future?" ”

My cousin said with an unusually indifferent expression: "I didn't mean that, how can I explain it to you?" You know Shigong, right? ”

I nodded and said that I knew my master, after all, my godfather had just told me.

The cousin clapped his hands and said, "That's a lot easier to talk about, don't you need the support of your master in the underworld to practice the Fa in the future?" The more money you give, the more sincere you are. ”

I hesitated and asked, "Is sincerity measured by something like money?" ”

My cousin glanced at me, poked my forehead with his finger and said, "Sincerity is such a thing, you can't see it, you can't touch it, and there is nothing big enough to test human nature. And money, something outside the body, can be exchanged for anything outside the body, if you don't even want to give money, what kind of thing outside the body, can you say that you are sincere? You think about it, right? The more you give, the more it proves that you are sincere, and that you are filial, the more the master likes you, and the more he will support you. ”

I thought about it carefully, and what my cousin said was not only reasonable, but also very reasonable. I thought about it again and felt that the money I brought was not very enough, so I immediately proposed to my cousin: "Cousin, what you said is very reasonable, so you lend me a thousand yuan, and the money I bring myself is a little small, and I will pay you back after I make money." ”

After hearing this, my cousin's whole face fell: "I don't have a thousand yuan, but two hundred yuan can be given to you from the money your father gave." ”

I waved my hand and said helplessly: "Two hundred is two hundred, hurry up and give it to me." ”

My cousin's gloomy face took out two hundred yuan from the wallet in his pocket and threw it to me, I took it and said, "Thank you, cousin, then I'll go upstairs and carry these things." ”

My cousin sighed and smiled: "If you make money when you go back, remember to pay me back." ”

I was stunned: "Isn't this what my dad gave me?" ”

My cousin smiled and said, "This is the salary your father gave me to take care of you." So, that's my money, so remember to pay me back. ”

I looked at him dumbfounded, how could there be such a stinky and shameless person, I opened my mouth and said: "I am doing all the housework in this family, I am taking care of you, and I wash all the underwear you are wearing now." ”

My cousin said with a nonchalant face, "So what? This is the act of training you and allowing you to improve yourself. ”

In the face of such a shameless person, I have nothing to refute, I secretly decided to help him wash his underwear in the future, and after soaking in water, I will casually take the soap and slide it twice, let him wear dirty underwear all the time, and wait for the bacteria to be infected there!

After a night of hard study, I came to my godfather's house with dark circles like pandas, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a table of food, all meat and vegetables, which were unusually rich. I just thought that I hadn't eaten enough for breakfast, and I wanted to take a few bites when there was no one around.

"Don't move!" The godmaster's loud voice came from behind, and I was so scared that I hit a few spirits.

I was so frightened that I couldn't do it, and my voice trembled slightly and asked, "Godmaster, what are you doing?" ”

The godfather carried a bag in his hand and said: "I'll go find someone to make a dress for you, and you will know when the ceremony is over, and the meal will be eaten for you after the ceremony, don't be in a hurry to eat it first." ”

The godfather put the bag aside, then pulled me to the altar, made a futon for me to kneel down, only to see the godfather began to put on the line, picked up a five-old crown, behind the crown from right to left written one incense, two fire, three links, four shows, five spirits. There is a meaning that no matter how you do the incense, it will manifest the spirit.

Then the godmaster changed into a dark blue robe, because he was a little old, and the color of the robe was already a little black.

Then the godfather began to tie a red belt on the belt, and there were strips of cloth of various colors hanging on the belt, and various words were written on the strips, such as "Wan is called Wanying", "Incense is prosperous" and the like, the godfather pointed to this and said to me: "This thing is called a hanging card, and it must be a magic weapon that can only be had after throwing cards, and each hanging card is embroidered with the eight characters of each altar mage, and others can't use it." When you go out to hold a toss, I'll make you a piece of this. ”

Although I didn't know what it meant to toss, I still kowtowed to the godmaster and thanked him.

After the godfather dressed up, he returned to the altar, took three sticks of incense and lit them, bowed three times, recited a few incantations in his mouth, and inserted the incense on the altar. The godfather took two steps back, made a hand and bowed again, let go of the hand and picked up the shocking wood and smashed it heavily on the altar, and the shocking wood "bang" resounded all over the hall.

Three horns sounded, and the godmaster put down the horns and picked up a pair of small gongs and drums, and sang a song or a spell that I didn't understand.

Two minutes later, the godfather put down the gong and drum, made a decision, bowed, picked up the shocking wood and knocked on the table again, took two steps back, his left hand kept clicking on the knuckles, the steps under his feet were walking according to a certain rule, and his right hand held the shocking wood and did not move, and his mouth was still chanting the incantation. After a while, the godmaster's left hand stopped, his footsteps also stopped, and his right hand drew a few times in one direction with a startling wood, and then the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he shouted, and then returned to the altar and bowed.

The godfather put down the shocking wood, picked up the water bowl with his right hand, pinched it with his left hand, and began to walk around according to a certain rule again, after the footsteps stopped, the godfather took the water bowl and salivaed, turned around and sprayed it on my face, and then turned back to the altar and bowed.

Then the godfather gently wiped the water stains at the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of his robe with his left hand, and then asked me to straighten my waist and began to draw on my face, and then on my chest. Then he took my two hands, drew something in my palms, and poked them hard, and then came behind me and painted on my back, and finally took off my shoes, painted on the soles of my feet, and poked at the springs.

After the virtual painting was finished, the godfather pressed my head with both hands, and began to chant the mantra again in his mouth, and while chanting, he pressed the middle finger of the index finger of both hands in the middle of my head, and then pressed it on the temples on both sides of me with both hands, and then patted my shoulder, and shouted loudly, slapped his palms his back, and then slid down to his waist before stopping.

The godfather returned to the altar, picked up the sparse text and the ink clay, grabbed my thumb and pressed the ink clay, pressed it next to my name on the sparse text, picked up the envelope on the altar, and stuffed the sparse text in.

After doing all this, the godfather moved a bench, sat next to the altar, picked up the small drum stick and knocked on the bowl next to him, "Wow-" The crisp sound of the bowl echoed all over the hall

At this moment, the godfather's face was serious, his expression was different from usual, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant, the godfather asked in a serious tone, a loud and majestic voice: "The ten precepts of this altar are told one by one"

I opened my mouth to reason: "The first precept of the ten precepts of this altar: respect the heavens and the law, and worship the three lights

The second commandment: Respect your parents and support your old age

The third commandment: love your fellow citizens, respect the old and love the young

The fourth precept: Respect the gods and ancestors, and do not be disrespectful in front of the gods and ancestors, and lie and lie

The fifth commandment: Do not steal anything, all finances come from the right place

Sixth precept: Do not boast of your own magic power, and do not slander fellow believers

The seventh commandment: Do not use magic to deceive good and promote evil

The eighth commandment: Do not commit evil deeds, do not violate ethics, if there are married women and unmarried girls, do not look at their private parts, do not look at their appearance, and always maintain a respectful heart.

Ninth precept: I would rather starve to death in front of the altar than do Taoist business and business

The tenth precept: Spells should be passed on to those who are loyal and benevolent, not to future generations."

(Note: The eighth precept: Do not look directly at women and unmarried girls, which means that you should not stare directly at others, but should use your eyes to spare your eyes)

The godfather asked again: "What will happen if you forget the Ten Precepts and violate the Ten Precepts?" ”

I replied, "The five thunders and heavenly fires burned a hundred corpses, and the reincarnation became rampant for thousands of lifetimes. ”

The godfather asked again: "Which six cao are the six cao in this altar?" ”

I replied: "The Yuanhuang Court is Tiancao, the Liyuan Fenghuo Yuan is Shencao, and the Meishan Court is Bingcao.........!" ”

The godfather asked again: "How should Bamenke be counted?" ”

I replied, "Prosperity and promotion must be open...... To catch a thief, you need to go to the door of shock. ”

After that, the godfather asked a few more questions, and I responded one by one.

The godfather listened to my answer and nodded with satisfaction, obviously satisfied that I passed the inquiry, and then the godfather stretched out his hand, rubbed his fingers against each other, and I understood the meaning, and quickly handed the red envelope to the godfather with both hands, and the godfather put it away and handed me a thicker red envelope.

The godfather stood up, sang a few words in a duel, and then took a futon next to me, knelt down by himself, and held a master knife in his left hand and a hexagram in his right hand. While chanting the mantra and shaking the master's knife, I picked up the hexagram and smashed it to the ground, three times in a row, through the hexagram smashed out of the hexagram, to confirm whether the patriarch agreed to my teaching.

Judging from the fact that the godfather pressed my head and asked me to kowtow to Patriarch Meishan's grace, Patriarch Meishan should have agreed to my entry into the Meishan Dharma Teaching.

The godfather took the envelope to the courtyard and burned it in the paper money furnace with the gold and silver ingots, and then came back and motioned for me to get up and asked me to move the dining table to the altar.

Then the godfather began to pick up the cold rice in his mouth, ate two bites, and suddenly spit the chewed rice back into the bowl, and then did this for every dish, and then said to me, "Finish eating these." ”

I hesitated a little, but I still closed my eyes and finished the meal, and after I finished eating, the godfather pointed to the empty plates and chopsticks and said: "In the future, when I am alive, I have a bowl of rice to eat, and you will have half a bowl of rice to eat. After I return to heaven, I will definitely support you, the incense is prosperous, the wealth is a hundred years, and the practice of the law is all souls. ”

After listening to this passage, I understood what the godfather meant by this.

The godfather asked me to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and move the table back to its original place. And he returned to the altar, beat the gongs and drums, and sang a mantra like a song. Finally, blow the horns three times and bow three times. At this point, the initiation ceremony was officially completed, and I also worshiped the Meishan Dharma.
