Chapter 51: Burning the Cold Stove
Lao Cao said: "Go, Shangqingguan will also invite Yin Si to eat vegetarian food, their vegetarian vegetarian food is delicious." ”
What is delicious about vegetarian food, my monthly salary is 30,000 yuan, why can't I afford to eat?
Lao Cao saw that he refused to go, so he no longer persuaded him, patted his ass and left.
But in the evening, Lin Yi swiped WeChat and found that many classmates also went to Shangqingguan to pray for blessings, and Yang Silin and others also went together and asked him. I was also moved.
"Go, gather at Shangqingguan tomorrow."
……
Shangqing Guan is one of the best avenues in North China, the incense has always been very vigorous, it is said that the Shangqing Guan Master Wukong is also a member of the Special Affairs Bureau, and he is also a black diamond boss of the A A level. Lin Yi also wanted to see what the A-level boss looked like and how the Taoism was.
The two rats also want to follow to see the next world, and the Shangqing Temple will hold a Dharma to pray for blessings and transcend sentient beings, and they will bathe in incense and get a certain amount of cultivation.
Lin Yi couldn't screw them, so he had to agree.
"I can only stay in my backpack, and I am not allowed to come out and make trouble."
When I came to Shangqing Temple, the crowd of people followed was called a sea of people.
Lin Yi met Yang Silin, Zhang Kaisheng, and Li Yihao at the door. Because of today's birthday of Taishang Laojun, most of Lin's believers and pilgrims went to the front of Laojun's hall, and Lin Yi didn't want to join in the excitement, so he went to other temples.
"It's all here, let's put incense on the pillar for Taishang Laojun." Zhang Kaisheng said.
Lin Yi said: "So many people celebrate Lao Jun's birthday, and I am not one of them." Besides, Lao Jun has many believers, it is a hot stove, and if you want the gods to bless you, you have to burn the cold stove. It's useless for you to heat up the stove, it's the icing on the cake. Burning a cold stove is different, it is charcoal in the snow, and it is old and precious. "This was taught to him by Grandpa Lin Yi, and he felt that it made sense, so what their family had been worshipping before was An Yueqing, one of the seventy-two divisions of Dongyue Yin Division. After the grandfather goes, he can only hold any official and half-position in the Dongyue Yin Division.
"."
"It's your skin."
Lin Yi didn't care about them either, and went to other temples. I came back to Shangqingguan, and I didn't visit too much, this time I had to look at how many Taoist gods and goddesses were enshrined in Shangqingguan.
Entering the Taoist temple, dozens of Taoist gods were enshrined in the main hall, Lin Yi was dazzled, and went to the main hall behind.
At the back of the main hall is the Lingguan Palace, and the momentum of the Lingguan Hall is magnificent. In front of the hall stands a bronze sculpture, which is the Taoist protector god, Wang Lingguan. Three eyes, hideous face, fierce and vicious. He held a weapon, and the front of the weapon pointed to the gate of the Taoist temple, which was very solemn and solemn. Lin Yi found that although this Taoist protector god is a bronze crosser, and the sculpture is extraordinarily tall, the statue has been covered with a lot of dust, and the incense is also Liao Liao.
"The dignified protector of the Dharma, the incense is so bad." Lin Yi was full of sympathy, and gave a pillar of incense with his hand.
The incense curled up, and the smoke went up, blurring the entire statue of Wang Lingguan.
Lin Yi was overjoyed, proving that the incense had been absorbed by this great god. It seems that the great god likes to eat his own incense, so will he bless himself?
But soon, Lin Yi found that the incense was halfway burned, and the curling cigarettes were actually divided into two factions, one was sucked by the bronze elephant, and the other actually drifted away outside the hall as if out of nowhere. I can't help but be surprised, could it be that there are any bold people who dare to steal the incense of the king official spirit?
"The master hurried to see which daring guy dared to steal even the master's incense." Huang Wu said angrily in his backpack.
Lin Yi followed the incense route all the way to another temple, which enshrined an old man dressed as a Taoist priest.
"Hey, it turned out to be Sa Tianshi." The weasel's voice suddenly became much quieter.
"Sa Tianshi? Isn't it amazing? Lin Yi was puzzled.
The weasel's voice became quieter and quieter: "Sa Tianshi is one of the four great heavenly masters, although his fame is not as good as that of Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master in Longhu Mountain. But his skills are not bad. ”
Lin Yi had a question mark on his face, since he was one of the four great heavenly masters, why was his reputation so weak? Even he hadn't heard of it.
The weasel didn't know very well, so he said, "Probably because Master Sa Tian doesn't have an apprenticeship." ”
The folk only know Zhang Tianshi, that is because Zhang Tianshi has descendants, as well as apprentices, as well as Taoist temples, Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Teaching, is Zhang Tianshi's base camp, all over the country Taoist temples, there are statues of Zhang Tianshi. Unlike Sa Tianshi, Lin Yi really heard for the first time that there were four great heavenly masters in history.
"Master, I remembered that Master Sa Tian had an apprentice, but because his apprentice had also become a god, he couldn't promote it to his master among the people. Unlike Zhang Tianshi, there are apprentices who promote him from generation to generation. Huang Wu shouted.
Lin Yi was speechless, Huang Wu's explanation, he couldn't find a loophole.
Lin Yi asked, "What about the apprentice of the Heavenly Master?" ”
"It's the Wang Lingguan just now, the first god of Taoist protectors. No wonder Wang Lingguan would give part of his incense to Sazu, it turned out to be filial piety to his master. ”
Lin Yi: "......" Huang Wu seems to have some truth in what he said.
In front of the statue of Sa Tianshi, although there is also incense, it is far less than the Laojun Palace, and other important gods in Taoism. I don't know if Sazu doesn't understand marketing, or he has always been low-key, and Lin Yi is still the first time I've heard of the Taoist god who exorcises demons and destroys ghosts, and there is actually this Sa Tianshi.
After learning more about the deeds of Sa Tianshi, Lin Yi decided to burn this cold stove.
So Lin Yi took out the incense and inserted it in front of the Sazu shrine.
"Sa Tianshi is sucking incense, master, Sa Tianshi should like you." Huang Wu shouted excitedly.
Lin Yi also saw that thanks to his identity of impermanence, he was particularly sensitive to cigarettes that burned incense. can't help but be happy, he is burning the cold stove right, right?
So Lin Yi silently bowed down in front of the statue of the Heavenly Master and silently recited: "The Heavenly Master is above, please accept Lin Yi's worship." I didn't know about your life before, please forgive me. Seeing that you have so little incense, I will burn incense for you in the future. It's just that I'm still a student, so I can't come every day, and in the future, as long as I have time, I will come to burn incense for you. I hope that the great god will bless the believers with safety and success. After reading silently, he got up.
When he raised his eyes, he found that the incense was curling, and most of them were drilled into the bronze statue, and he couldn't help but smile.
I went to pay homage to Wang Lingguan again, it turned out that this great god was still Sazu's apprentice, and Sazu was really powerful. At least better than Zhang Tianshi. Huang Wu was right, although Zhang Tianshi had many disciples and grandchildren, he did not have any apprentices who became gods, and with this alone, Zhang Tianshi lost.
But Sazu's fame is too inconspicuous, Lin Yi later asked Yang Silin, have you heard of Sa Tianshi, they all shook their heads, and they all said that they had only heard of Zhang Tianshi, and they really hadn't heard of Sa Tianshi. Lin Yi turned around and burned a bundle of incense for Sa Tianshi, and also brought the fruits to the tribute table. Seeing this, the other pilgrims couldn't help but glance at Lin Yi more.
Seeing this, Yang Silin couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "What are you doing burning so much?" There's so much money that there's nowhere to spend it, right? ”
Lin Yi said solemnly: "Sa Tianshi is as famous as Zhang Tianshi, but his fame is not as good as Zhang Tianshi, and I am anxious for him." ”
