Chapter 2 Set up an altar to respond to the stars
The old man told my mother that Ying Xing was on a sunny night on the ninth day of the lunar calendar, waiting for all the stars to come out, find a secluded open space, set up an altar to make offerings, and make a wish to the Big Dipper, asking the gods to be the masters, and how many years after the fairy fate was pushed. Let the immortals go to the immortal mountain to cultivate the Tao first.
However, this method is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and when the time comes, it will not be possible to receive immortals in the future.
Because it is difficult to chase after a word, if you make a wish in front of the Big Dipper, the Big Dipper will make the decision for you. When the time comes, if you break your promise, not only will the Immortal Family not be able to spare you, but the Big Dipper Monarch will also descend on the disaster.
My mother looked at me, gritted her teeth, and asked the old man, "Uncle, should I do it in eighty years?" ”
The old man said to my mother with a cold face, "You should be in 800 years!" ”
"Eight hundred years?" My mother was stunned: "Is it okay?" ”
"It's a fart!" The old man said angrily: "Are you a fool when you are an old immortal? If you really dare to pay for it in eighty years, then your son will not survive. You can disbelieve, but you can't be disrespectful. You can't talk nonsense, the fairy family is all animal nature, and when the self-raised dog still bites the owner with a sour face, not to mention the fairy family that comes out of these fields. It doesn't matter if you joke, it annoys the fairy family, and you can't eat and go around! ”
As soon as he said this, my mother was so frightened that she apologized repeatedly, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
The old lady trembled and told my mother that Xianyuan didn't push it as long as she wanted, it was equivalent to a stone in the river, and if she felt that it was in the way, she would push it back. Push it until it can't be pushed any longer, and it's time for the river to erupt. This trick is to raise the soup to stop the boiling, not to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. Be sure to remember.
My mother asked the old lady with a sad face: "Old Xian'er, I will be content if I can let my son grow up safely." ”
The old lady closed her eyes and pinched her fingers and calculated: "The fairy fate of the little golden boy can be postponed by twelve years at most, and on his eighteenth birthday, the cause and effect will mature." ”
My mom still wanted to discuss whether she could push it back a little further, after all, eighteen years old is also a child.
But before my mother could speak, the old lady waved her hand first and said, "Peach Fairy, don't say anything more, how can the fairy fate be extended and extended." Fu Lu Shou Xi Tian is destined, how dare mortals please favors? Twelve years later, the number of days has to be rearranged. A loving mother does not lead her children and grandchildren, and blessings and misfortunes accompany her. ”
The old man explained the gist of this on the side, probably saying that you don't squeak, it's endless! I changed your original plan, and God will have to rearrange things after that. Don't care about your children too much, they will suffer the good and the bad!
After explaining this, the old man explained the specific operation process to my mother, and then gave my mother an eviction order.
My mom had to take me away. When she got home, she started to prepare.
Three incense bowls, a bundle of yellow incense, a seven-star table text, eight kinds of meat and vegetarian tributes, eight wine glasses, one hundred and eight pieces of paper money, divided into 36 Tongtian coins, 72 Tongyou coins, 3 feet 3 feet 3 yellow cloth, 9 feet 9 feet 9 red cloth, plus a red feather rooster.
After everything is ready, I will wait for the ninth day of the sixth lunar month in three days to give me the star.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, on the ninth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, my mother began to prepare the offerings early in the morning, and was busy until noon, when the offerings with eight kinds of meat and vegetables were ready.
My dad brought back a bottle of good wine when he got off work, which he also used at night.
Big Dipper, eight glasses of wine.
There is one cup of wine for the Arctic Emperor, and seven cups of wine for the Big Dipper Monarch.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, my mom asked my dad to go out to see if there were any clouds in the sky.
My dad came back soon and told her that there was no moon and no clouds.
My mom quickly beckoned me to get up and told my dad to start getting things outside.
First of all, we moved out a small square table that we don't usually use, then spread the table with yellow cloth, put the offering cups on the table, poured the wine full, covered the red cloth, pressed three incense bowls on the red cloth, pulled out nine yellow incense sticks, lit them and inserted them into the incense bowl.
The big red rooster was wilting and drowsy, and my dad took it out, tied a red rope to his left foot, and tied the other end of the rope to the table leg, and the rooster fluttered a few times to see that there was no danger, and dozed off again.
Divide the paper money, my dad has thirty-six Tongtian coins, my mother has seventy-two Tongyou coins, each holding three yellow incense sticks in their hands, standing on my left and right.
I knelt in front of the offering table, and my dad lit the seven-star table first, and it went up.
As soon as the text was lit, a whirlwind arose out of thin air, and I kept turning around the offering table, I was young at the time, and I didn't react, but my dad and my mom's eyes were completely wrong.
After the text was raised, the whirlwind still did not stop.
My mother's voice trembled and asked my dad, "Husband, what's the matter?" ”
"What's that?" My dad yelled at my mom angrily, "What should I do!" Tell me who you burned first? ”
"Burn my mother first." I said as I said.
My dad was already a little messy, because he was afraid of making mistakes, so they had said it many times, and I remembered the process, but my dad forgot it at the critical moment.
"Oh, yes, yes! Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze? My dad urged angrily.
When my mother saw that my father was grumpy, she didn't say anything, and after lighting the Tongyou coin, she threw the yellow incense in her hand into the fire.
I distinctly felt that the whirlwind around the offering table had weakened all of a sudden, and on the pile of paper money that my mother was burning, a whirlwind suddenly appeared, and a large piece of black paper ash fluttered like a black butterfly and flew into the air.
My mom looked at my dad, "It's your turn." ”
My dad didn't say a word, but also lit the Tongtian coin in his hand, he just threw the lit paper money on the ground, before the yellow incense was released, a gust of wind blew, and the paper money that had not been burned to ashes was scraped in a yard, my dad was about to chase it, and my mother hurriedly reminded him: "Incense!" Fragrant! ”
My dad slapped his head and threw Huang Xiang on the remaining pieces of burning paper money.
Strange to say, the three yellow incense sticks are like iron chopsticks, steadily suppressing the paper money, and the wind blows the paper money from side to side, but it can't fly.
I was watching the excitement when my mother urged, "Jinzi, kowtow and mutter the words I taught you." ”
"Oh!" I answered and kowtowed: "The Big Dipper Star Monarch is above, and the disciple Wan Qishui is still young and weak, so he can't lead the immortal fate." Ask for mercy from the Big Dipper, press the disciple's immortal fate, and after twelve years, the disciple will grow up and receive the immortal fate again. ”
My mom and dad also knelt beside me and kowtowed along with me, and the three of us were whispering this passage over and over again, and no one noticed that the yellow fragrance on the table had changed.
Ash rolled!
The incense sold now is specially made with adhesives to deliberately create this effect, firstly, to avoid the incense ash from scattering around, and secondly, to make a good omen.
When I was in the star, where did I buy the high-end goods, and the ones I bought were the most ordinary incense, and the incense ash was rolled, which was the real god on the altar, but unfortunately, none of us understood this at that time.
I was the first to find out that something was wrong with the incense ash, and the child's curiosity was heavy, and even if the waist could stand it, the naughty temperament couldn't stand it.
Inadvertently swept the incense bowl and found that something was wrong.
I hurriedly beckoned my mother to look at the incense bowl in the middle, the incense ashes of the three incense sticks were rolled, and the incense ashes in the two incense bowls next to it were burned to the middle low and the two sides were high, only the three incense sticks in the middle incense bowl were going hand in hand, and the incense ash was rolled.
My mother didn't know this, and when she saw this vision, she immediately became nervous.
My dad was also a little out of breath at this time and asked my mom how long she had to babble.
My mother told him that he would have to wait until a stick of incense was burned.
"What are you doing in a daze? Knock it! "My dad reached out and pressed me on the back of my neck, and I couldn't help but knock up.
My mom hurriedly followed suit.
It is also strange to say that that night, the whirlwind kept rotating around the offering table, and the incense ash in the incense bowl in the middle finally became a ball, and the top was on top of the yellow incense, that is, it did not fall, and the incense on both sides burned low in the middle and high at both ends.
And from the time I found the vision to the end of the incense in the incense bowl in the middle, the process took only five or six minutes.
But I don't believe in his reason, why doesn't the wind and incense ash fall off?
The moment the last bit of red light disappeared, the big rooster didn't know if he dreamed that it was dawn, and a rooster crow startled the three of my family.
When it was done, the wind stopped and it slept again.
My mom and my dad hurriedly asked me to kowtow to the Arctic Emperor and the Big Dipper again, and they thought that the rooster crow and the wind stopped were good signs.
In fact, before this, the incense ash roll and the incense on both sides have already shown a good omen, but we don't know it.
The incense ash scroll has already said that it is the god who came to the altar, which means that the star of Ying was successful that day, and the star king of heaven descended to the godhead to enjoy the offerings for me to preside over the matter.
The incense on both sides burns two lotus flowers, which is also lined with the meaning of the gods.
The gods are yang, and the immortals are yin. The gods and the immortals were actually there that day, but we couldn't see it, and after dealing with the matter, the gods ascended to heaven and the immortals retreated. Yin and yang are first divided, so it causes a change in the rooster, and it can feel yin and yang, so it is called.
The rooster's cry represents the retreat of the yin and the rise of the sun, which is a sign that the day is about to dawn. Those immortals naturally return to the high mountains, and the ancient caves of the ancient caves, the gods have all issued a will, and they dare not obey, so the whirlwind dissipates.
Anyway, a lot happened that night, and we saw only a small part.
More things are hidden in the dark and are not known to the average person.
When my parents were packing up the offerings, they also found something that made them feel creepy, that is, there were really fairy apparitions.
The wine in the glass was empty. It wasn't blown away by the wind, it was still covered with a red cloth!
There was no way to explain it, so they had to comfort themselves, this is a manifestation, and the gods have drunk it, bless our son with peace and security......
That night I had a very long dream, in which I saw all kinds of people, men, women, old and young. I don't know anyone, but they all know me, and they know me very well. Everyone had a glass of wine in their hands and talked to me a lot, but unfortunately I didn't remember a word. I just remember that they came up one by one and told me something, and then one by one they left, and finally there were fewer and fewer people. I'm starting to notice that something is wrong, where have all the people gone, and it was all the rage just now.
In the end, I don't know when, there was only one person left in the dense crowd, who was about the same age as me, but it made me unhappy when he spoke, patting my chest and telling me that with him in the future, no one could bully me.
Che, I know who you are? I thought to myself silently.
My name is Huang Tianchou!
