Chapter Eighty-Six: The Statue of the Heavenly God and the Wenchang Xingjun (Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Shi Xiaohan remembered that it was through these two ways that he and Gu Xu formed a "good partner for killing ghosts in Yishui County".
However, after hearing her words, Tao Xi was startled, and waved his hand uneasily: "No, you don't have to break the bank...... The college has a meal subsidy, and I will buy it myself. ”
Shi Xiaohan frowned slightly.
She only felt that it was very laborious to talk to the other party, and it was easier and more pleasant to chat with Gu Xu's guy.
"Perhaps...... She's not interested in the topic of 'food'? ”
Shi Xiaohan thought for a while, and then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be majoring in runes?" ”
"Hmm." Tao Xi nodded stiffly.
"I've always felt that the monk who understands the Fu Dao is the best," Shi Xiaohan continued, "and can actually understand those chaotic patterns like heavenly books. ”
Praise others when they are indecided.
This is the social method she learned from Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin.
It's just that maybe because she doesn't have many opportunities to practice, her words still sound a little awkward.
"Its ...... Actually, it's okay," Tao Xi smiled embarrassedly and stammered in response, "My talisman technique is actually very ordinary, compared to ...... Far worse than your fiancé. ”
"Fiancé?" Shi Xiaohan's eyes widened, he got up from his seat with a "pout", stared at Tao Xi and said, "I'm not engaged yet, where is my fiancé?" ”
Tao Xi was frightened by her sudden raised tone, and couldn't help but move back, and the whole person shrank to the corner of the carriage: "I...... I've heard others say that you and Master Gu ...... a few months ago It's already been a birthday swap......"
"Don't believe those hearsay things, those people like to brag," Shi Xiaohan snorted, but his white and crystal earlobes were slightly red inadvertently, "We're just ordinary colleagues, so we didn't exchange eight characters!" ”
"Well, I see, don't be angry...... Tao Xi said in a panic, while nodding his head again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
Shi Xiaohan took a deep breath and sat down on the chair again.
She hates people who like to brag and gossip behind their backs all day long.
But for some reason, when she heard the words "fiancé", her heart began to beat faster, and a burst of secret joy sprouted in her mind.
…………
Great Qi was a dynasty that valued etiquette.
Just like the new officials of the Exorcism Division need to worship the gods, martyrs, and emperors when they take office.
When new students enter Longmen Academy, there is also a complicated ritual process.
They first came to a large, bright lobby with double eaves.
This lobby is circular in shape, symbolizing the circle of the sky; The tile is blue, symbolizing the sky.
Inside is enshrined the idol of the god of heaven.
It is a statue with two sides of the same body.
On the front is the "Taishang Haotian Jade Emperor", wearing a golden nine-chapter legal robe, wearing a crown of twelve beads, sitting on the golden throne, holding a jade seal, tall, with tough facial features, a long beard, looking majestic and solemn, exuding dazzling golden light up and down the body, making it impossible to look up and look directly.
At His side stood two pairs of virgins.
One of the boys held a three-foot-long sword in his hand—the blade glowed with golden light, and the hilt was carved with delicate dragon patterns.
Go around to the other side of the lobby, and you can see the "Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor" on the back of the statue. Compared with "Taishang Haotian", his appearance looks slightly clearer, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a dark dragon gon with embroidered universal stars and cloud dragon patterns, and his temperament is dusty but not lacking in majesty. His hair was a bright silvery-white, molten silver, and the flow of stars could be faintly glimpsed on it.
In His hand, he holds a disc-shaped object carved with intricate patterns and symbols, like the tracks of the stars in the sky.
As soon as Shi Xiaohan saw it, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, as if he had seen a complicated and difficult rune book.
Next to the statue of the "Ziwei Emperor", there are also four attendants who serve.
But it is not a boy or a girl, but the colorful statues of the four star monarchs of "Zuo Fu", "Right Bi", "Tiankui" and "Tianyue", holding books or long swords in their hands, all bowing their heads and looking respectful.
The freshmen of the academy first burned incense and worshiped on the side of "Taishang Haotian", and under the guidance of a teacher, they recited the "Jade Emperor Treasure", which is as follows:
"Taishang Miluo is supreme heaven, and there is a mysterious realm. Misty purple gold que, too micro jade Qing Palace. The supreme saint is infinite, and the outline shines brightly. Lonely and vast, Xuan Fan is always in ten directions. Zhan Silence is really normal, and the great power of the desert is restored. The Jade Emperor is a great celestial venerable, and the god of the Xuanqiong is high. ”
"Bao Hui", also known as "Bao Zhang", is a prayer to praise the gods, usually in the form of a pun.
After reciting the "Jade Emperor's Treasure", they came to the statue of the "Ziwei Emperor" and recited the "Star Lord's Treasure" in unison:
"Da Luo Tianque, Ziwei Star Palace. It is high in the North Pole, in the middle of the sky. Xuanji Jade Hengqi Seven Politics, the total heaven and earth. The sun, moon and stars are about four o'clock, and the ecliptic purple wall is traveled. Master of Vientiane, ruler of the heavens. Great compassion and great wishes, great saints and great mercy. The Master of the Ten Thousand Stars, the Emperor of the Infinite Yuan. Zhongtian Ziwei, the Emperor of the Arctic. ”
After worshipping "Shangcang", the students came to a side hall next to it under the guidance of the teaching, and burned incense and worshiped in front of the statue of "Wenchang Xingjun".
"Wenchang Xingjun" was originally just an assistant minister beside "Emperor Ziwei".
However, because he was in charge of knowledge, education, examinations and fame, the teaching institutions of the Great Qi Dynasty, including Longmen Academy, Guozijian, county schools and some private schools, would worship the god of "Wenchang Xingjun" alone.
"Wenchang Xingjun" looks like a civil minister, wearing an official hat, wearing a red brocade official robe, holding a jade wat board, with a stack of books and a bronze mirror with a simple shape.
At this time, Tao Xi, who was standing beside Shi Xiaohan, suddenly lowered his head and whispered, "You...... Do you think that the appearance of this 'Wenchang Xingjun' seems to look a little familiar......
Shi Xiaohan shook his head, and then responded, "Maybe you worshipped his idol elsewhere, right?" ”
"No, I think he's kind of like someone in reality...... But I can't remember who I look like......" Tao Xi's voice became lower and lower, and the last few words were almost completely inaudible, obviously she was not very confident in her feelings.
After worshipping several immortals, the freshmen came to the largest room, "Siqi Hall", and listened to the words of Li Zhengxun, the president of Longmen Academy.
This Dean Li is tall and mighty in appearance, but he is extremely verbose when he speaks.
He began by saying, "I will briefly talk about three things today", but each thing has evolved into countless things, the content of which is basically to take the great principles of "doing the right thing for heaven", "serving the emperor", and "creating a peaceful and prosperous world for the people" over and over again.
Shi Xiaohan was drowsy when he heard it, and even suspected that he was casting a hypnotic spell.
ps: The November monthly pass plus update has already paid one chapter, and there are still three chapters owed.
