Chang'an, Andingfang.

A young man in a blue robe sits cross-legged on a futon and whispers a scripture.

Next to them, two young women were sitting.

However, they obviously arrived a little late and did not arrive before the other person chanted, otherwise there would not have been such a thing.

For Meng Fan, if there is nothing particularly important, it is better to read all this scripture today, so as not to collide with anything, or not be able to complete it.

And Li Lingyue was also very well-behaved, so she sat cross-legged next to her silently, and looked at Meng Fan seriously in front of Sanmao Zhenjun, with longing in her eyes, and she didn't know what she thought of.

Seeing that the princess was a nymphomaniac, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but sigh secretly, she could see that this Lu Taishi Ling seemed to be practicing Taishang Forgetfulness, and there was no childlike love in her heart, but she just regarded Li Lingyue as the youngest sister in the clan.

The look in his eyes...... In fact, it is similar to the crown prince Li Xian, as well as King Zhou and King Xiang, but the queen of heaven is vaguely matching this matter, and often lets the princess out of the palace to find it.

As for how much deep meaning there is, Shangguan Wan'er didn't dare to speculate, so as not to get involved.

Tuk Tuk ......

The sound of the wooden fish knocking on the sutra was accompanied by chanting, and the whole dojo appeared hazy and ethereal.

As for why knock on the wooden fish?

Answer: This is not exclusive to Buddhism, Taoism also has this kind of magic weapon.

It's just that the wooden fish in Meng Fan's hand is different from the usual, about three feet long, and the Tai Chi Tao diagram is depicted on it, which is composed of two fish, one black and one white, the white fish is yang and the black fish is yin.

There is a black eye in the white fish, and a white eye in the black fish, that is, there is yin in the yang, and there is yang in the yin.

"Supreme Secret" cloud:

The wooden fish clears the rock and awakens the earth.

Because of this, reciting scriptures and tapping wooden fish in the dojo can play a role in deterring demons and causing the sound to reach the Three Realms and Six Realms.

And the reason why it is so solemn today is because the Midyear Festival has arrived, which is also known as the day of forgiveness of sins.

After Meng Fan slain the dragon, he rested in Shuifu for a while, and when he returned to Chang'an, he began to prepare for this matter, praying for the souls of the Li Tang clan, and at the same time, he also had to do the same for the souls of the martial arts.

In addition, whether it is the original world, or the world of Hong Kong Island, or the world of the Republic of China, they are all orphans, and they don't know where their parents are, but now they are different.

In this case, it is also necessary to chant sutras for one's relatives and pray for their blessings.

The green tiles and white walls, the roof decorated with the owl's tail stretches out and is far away, the road is fragrant, the gold rouge is up, and the underworld is down, isolating the outside world from all kinds of calculations, pure to the extreme.

Under such an atmosphere, Shangguan Wan'er's heart gradually calmed down, she grew up in the Yeting Palace since she was a child, she was used to all kinds of calculations, and she had seen a lot of the world, but every time she came to the Baoyun Temple where Meng Fan lived, all kinds of masks were removed, and she didn't have to put on a disguised smile in order to protect herself.

Not much.

The chanting stopped, Meng Fan slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of apricot eyes came over.

Needless to say, it is peaceful.

When she was about to speak in a familiar cheerful tone, Meng Fan put her index finger in front of her lips, shuttered softly, and whispered, "Sanmao Zhenjun is above, be quiet, and we'll talk about it later."

"The poor Tao should recite another book of scripture for the lonely souls and wild ghosts, so as to help them transcend as soon as possible."

The voice was soothing and full of a slow rhythm, Li Lingyue nodded obediently, and after Meng Fan closed his eyes again, he set his eyes on the statue of Sanmao Zhenjun.

I don't know what to think of, my face turned red, and I saluted respectfully, both coquettish and solemn.

In fact, she originally wanted to shape the golden body of these three gods, with the dignity of the princess, this matter is not difficult, according to the ancestral system: three hundred princesses. The eldest princess added three hundred households, and there were six hundred.

And the queen mother loves her, and now there are 1,200 households, and her father has promised not long ago that she will continue to increase if she marries in the future, making her the most favored princess of the Tang Dynasty.

According to the historical trajectory, Princess Taiping will be preceded by two words: Zhenguo.

But Meng Fan refused at that time

Absolutely, after fasting and bathing, make the statues of the gods in the temple out of clay, and say that you are not confined to external things, and your mind is pious enough.

In front of the Lingguan Hall dedicated to the Guardian Heavenly Venerable, the couplet also has this meaning:

is evil, and it is useless to burn incense;

Holding the body is upright, what does it matter if you don't worship me.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the sound of the wooden fish stopped.

"Lang Jun, are you alright?"

"There's another piece of writing to play."

Facing this younger sister who had just reached the age of cardamom, Meng Fan was extremely patient, and after finishing the recitation, he first answered Li Lingyue, then put away the magic and ritual weapons, and saluted towards the statue of Sanmao Zhenjun.

On July 15, the local magistrate of Zhongyuan released all the ghosts of the prefecture and pardoned or alleviated their sins.

On this day, the Taoist temples in various places mostly follow the ancestral system, and routinely set up Jiao to celebrate the birthday of the local officials.

At the same time, the good faith of the ten directions funded the fasting for the ancestors to seek blessings, and asked the local officials to forgive their sins and ascend to the heavenly realm as soon as possible.

One volume of scripture is for the Li Tang sect.

A volume of scriptures for the ancestors of the samurai family.

One book of scripture for this birth to parents.

A volume of scriptures is given to lonely souls and wild ghosts.

There is only one thing left to do today, that is, Shangshu congratulates the emperor on his birthday.

"Miss Wan'er, have you ever helped the poor Dao prepare a good text?"

"Nature."

As we all know, the Taoist is not good, and it is best to write this birthday Wenshu, after all, cultivation is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human accidents.

Those seniors and ancestors of the master, needless to mention, are very short-sighted.

There was the Dantian Demon Academy before, and then there was Lei Zu Tianzun, and the relationship was seriously maintained.

Shangguan Wan'er stood up and handed out a folded silk cloth from her cuff.

Women in the Tang Dynasty preferred men's clothing.

In this way, it not only completes the etiquette, but also meets its own needs for travel and play.

I saw that she was the same as Taiping, wearing a light and thin hat, a narrow-sleeved tight-fitting lapel robe, trousers, and high-waisted boots, no different from the men on the street, that is, the pattern and material were very exquisite, and she was obviously from a famous family.

However, the two did not really dress themselves up as men, they had applied fat powder on their faces, their eyebrows were painted like willow leaves, and there were flowers on their foreheads. The lips are coated with rouge, which looks dignified and coquettish.

His eyes quickly swept over Wen Shu, and Meng Fan showed a satisfied smile on his face, she was worthy of being a royal talent, and in the future in the Tang Dynasty, she would have to trouble her every New Year's festival to celebrate the birthday of the gods.

The next step is to copy it yourself.

Well, Meng Daochang still will, don't have to fake the hands of others, after all, painting talismans is the most test of calligraphy skills, Taoist masters are generally calligraphy masters, highly respected by Su Shi and other writers of the past dynasties.

"Disciple Meng Fan took incense in his hand and knocked on the words."

"In the prosperous times, the people are very good. Every time I feel that the kindness of heaven and earth is inexhaustible, I suddenly feel that the blessing of the three elements is difficult to reward. This is the 15th day of the seventh month of the second year of the Heavenly Fortune Yifeng, which coincides with the day of [Zhongyuan Pudu]."

"And he shall burn incense and prostrate before the altar. The Great Sage of the Ten Directions is enlightened in the middle, the Sanyuan Tianzun is enlightened in the middle, and the Nine Shadows are true in the bottom. It has a courtesy and sparse text, and it is respectful to the perfunctory declaration."

"Fu Yi, the Great Sage of the Northern Capital, the case is sentenced to the Ten Directions of the Netherworld. Forgive sins and honor God, Enbu in the eight-dimensional world. Where there is prayer in the dust, the Holy Majesty is coming."

"Fu Wen, the fight hangs in the sky, and the moon order is combined with the seven politics. Qi Xing Meng Qiu, the schedule should be three yuan. Inside the Metropolitan Palace, in the Myovi Palace. The case is in charge of the blue and black, and the name of the good and the bad is recorded. Ruling the spirit of the three mountains and the essence of the five mountains. The law of blessing is inherited, and the cause of misfortune is solved. In the darkness, there is no gap. Within Kyushu, the public is selfless."

"Wish, to save the people of heaven and save the ghosts. Eighteen hells, sins destroy and bless life. Thirty-three days of the Heavenly Palace, get away with it. Forever free from toil, eternal bliss. Three-element wonderful, the local official forgives the sin. Mana is submerged, and the three realms of grace are attained. Pudu sentient beings, bathe in the grace of heaven. The ministers have no responsibility, and dare to risk Tiancong. Look up to the lotus Xuan'en, and hang down the cave. Bless and blessed with blessings."

"There is no way to be diligent, I am respectful to the words, the Zhongyuan Qin Youfu, the Northern Capital forgives the sins of the Great Heavenly Venerable Saint and presents it in front of it, and I hope that Hong Ci will be respected."

"Zhao Ge Wen Shu, Tian Yun Yi Feng 2 July 15 Gu Shu."

The writing is flying and decent.

Wen Shu finished transcribing it in one go, admired it, and Meng Fan burned it before the god throne and tribute.

Green smoke curls.

A majestic aura followed the worship of various dojos in Chang'an City, as well as Wen Shu, and flew together to Qingjing.

Meanwhile.

The upper realm, in the Qingxu Palace.

Full of music, cranes danced, three palaces, nine mansions and forty-two Cao gods toasted together, saluting the emperor of Qingxu and congratulating his birthday.

The heavenly realm, the netherworld, the Emperor of Dongyue, Emperor Gou Chen and other gods were all sent here.

The palace fell into infinite joy, and the priest who recited Wen Shu had an endless voice, expressing his congratulations to the Qingxu Emperor on behalf of the Taoists of the heavens and all worlds.

Although the personality of the Datang world is not high, the identity of the Big Dipper Seven Yuan Zhenren is not low, and the priest quickly got Meng Fan's text and read it aloud.

Shangguan Wan'er is brilliant, but looking at the world, compared with the gods of various provinces, it still can't be brilliant, and the words of birthday congratulations are the same, there is no need to fight for superiority, just have your mind.

When Emperor Qingxu heard this, he didn't seem to have any special grace, and raised his wine to Sanmao Zhenjun, who was sitting not far away, as well as several heavenly masters, and drank it alone with the immortals of Maoshan Dharma Lineage, and commanded:

"Give a pot of wine and share the fun."

"Yes."

The priest responded, slightly surprised in his heart, and vaguely guessed that this Big Dipper Seven Yuan True Person had a heel, and he couldn't say that he would eventually fly to the Great World.

Hold the clouds inside.

Meng Fan waited patiently, he was following the usual practice to congratulate him on his birthday, and he didn't ask for anything, so he didn't expect any grace to come down.

However, suddenly a spiritual light flew in, and after it came into view, two streams immediately separated.

One fell on the blank rune paper: the emperor has a word, give a pot of wine, and share this joy.

The other turned into a jade wine jug, supported by a wisp of auspicious clouds, and the fairy qi flowed up.

Even though he was accustomed to drinking spiritual wine in Shuifu and boasted that he was never greedy for cups, Meng Fan still almost lost his temper, letting the uncontentious saliva flow from the corners of his mouth.

Hurry up to thank Emperor Qingxu, and sincerely say some ministers and heads to worship Yunyun again.

At the same time, I look forward to the birth of the ancestor who has achieved the immortal path and left a name in the world, and there should be a reward.

In Qingxu Palace, Sanmao Zhenjun, who was invited to the banquet, felt something, shook his head helplessly, and then toasted to the Qingxu Emperor and admired the full voice.

"Those who see have a share."

"The wine given by the Emperor of the Diguan has the effect of forgiving sins and eliminating all cause and effect."

The heavenly officials are blessed, and the chief lord, the heavenly gods, the kings, the saints, the high truths, and the three Luo Wanxiang heavenly monarchs.

The local officials forgive their sins, and the chief lord is the Emperor of Wuyue and the twenty-four rulers of mountains and rivers, the Emperor of the Nine Lands, and the Divine Monarch of the Four Dimensions and Eight Extremes.

The water official relieved the misfortune, and the chief lord was the Emperor of the Nine Rivers, the Four Blasphemy Gods, the Twelve Rivers and the Four Plum Gods.

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, she knew Meng Fan's ability, and she once confessed to herself in front of the two saints:

You can ask for sweet rain, help the people, and save the charcoal;

Everywhere you go, the demon king bows his head, the ghosts and gods worship, the land and mountains and rivers, and the guards greet him;

You can fast and start playing, summoning the heavenly generals;

His merits are complete, he ascends to immortality, the star official descends, and the gate of heaven opens by itself.

These are strange enough, but they are far less shocking than the wine given by the Emperor Qingxu.

The three official emperors are all objects that need to be honored by the imperial court, especially the Tianguan Ziwei Emperor, the sacrificial etiquette is extremely high, and the saint needs to pay tribute in person.

"Is it really okay to drink? The Emperor did not reward ......."

"Yes."

Meng Fan interrupted, and at the same time, as if conjuring a trick, he casually conjured a stone table, three stone benches, and three jade cups.

As he said, those who see have a share.

After all, this pot of wine has the credit of Shangguan Wan'er.

In addition, a pot of wine cannot increase cultivation, except for the mellow aroma, it is eliminated

The effect of reducing cause and effect and forgiving sins, drinking a pot and taking a sip are actually the same.

Since this is the case, then everyone is happy, the three of them have a drink first, and the rest fall in this majestic Chang'an City with a gentle drizzle.

As for whether he will be held accountable by the Emperor?

How could the local officials be so stingy, besides, the emperor's birthday already has the custom of forgiving sins, acting like this, it is too late for him to be happy, and there is no need to think about it at all.

……

The Taoist temple still retains the pattern of the prince's mansion, with pavilions, attics, mullioned window corridors, quiet scenery, and willow branches gently swaying in the breeze.

Shangguan Wan'er's face was slightly red, and there was a fragrant fragrance, and together with Meng Fan, she listened to Li Lingyue's brisk narration of various interesting things, and her expression was extremely relaxed.

And Meng Fan drank a glass of wine and tasted the indescribable taste of immortal wine, and he was also a little drunk.

Mana can't evaporate it, and it doesn't need to be, everything is just right, so he followed the previous words, running the Xuanfa, mixing the rest with a little drizzle, and moistening Chang'an City.

After doing everything, the three of them made an appointment to visit the scenery of Chang'an, and then walked out of the Taoist temple directly.

Eight hundred steps away on the left, there is a temple, the incense is at its peak, and the little novice who is carved in pink and jade saw the endless stream of people coming and going, and immediately rejoiced, and blurted out praise: "Today's Midyear Festival, there are so many pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha, which is good."

On the side, the old monk suddenly felt that his apprentice was not successful, and said helplessly: "Don't lie about foreign things!"

"Today is my Buddhist Obon Festival, and I will punish you for halving your meals at night...... Forget it, I will punish you to recite the Bon Sutra silently."

Hearing that he was going to eat half a meal less, Xiao Shami's nose was sore, and he almost cried, but the master's words made him burst into tears and laughed.

I was ordained only last month, and the precepts that show my identity are far away, and I don't know all the allusions to Buddhism, where do I know what "Buddha Says the Bon Sutra", and immediately created his own scriptures, muttering softly:

"Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake, Mando-like Sandwich Cake, Jushengnu, Brahmin Light and High Noodles, Changsheng Porridge, Sweet Snow Eight Directions Cold Food Cake......

The voice became more and more muffled, and he kept swallowing.

The child's nature is brilliant, which makes Meng Fan, who is passing by, laugh dumbly.
