Chapter 20 Professional Titles
Taoism is the only indigenous religion that originated in China, it is a belief and a form of religion.
Taoism runs through the mythological system and cultural system of China from the top. From below, Taoism emphasizes immortality and draws talismans to exorcise ghosts. Confucianism fears the mandate of heaven and cultivates oneself;
These are all things that Zhang Huan likes.
"Boom!" With a heavy, heavy bell ringing.
Zhang Huan woke up from his dream.
Today is the first day of the new year, that is, the Spring Festival. It's been a month since he came to Longhu Mountain. It's been almost three or four months since he crossed over.
He misses his wife, his family, and his two kittens. I don't know how they're doing now, how they're doing. Can the wife take care of herself by herself?
Zhang Huan was a little sad and really missed them.
But no matter what, he is still alive, he is still alive in this world, as long as he is alive, he still has a chance, maybe he will return to that world one day?
After Zhang Huan figured it out, he decided to walk out of the room.
Today is the Spring Festival, and everyone in the Dharma Temple has been busy since the morning, because the believers at the foot of the mountain have brought melons, fruits, vegetables, and meat to the temple early, and there are also believers from the city, Raozhou, and even further away to participate in today's prayer ceremony.
Most of these people came to participate in this ceremony, and a small number of them participated in the afternoon apprenticeship ceremony.
This part of them came to apprentice, because they wanted to worship Taoism and become a Taoist priest.
Zhang Huan also participated in the morning ceremony, which was very complicated, mainly to thank the gods for the protection of the gods the previous year and make a wish for the new year.
In the afternoon, the ceremony is not simple, mainly to welcome the three masters of the officiating ceremony and the six masters of the Dharma Protector, to hold the initiation, confession, opening of the transmission, the table, thanksgiving and other rituals, preaching the scriptures and precepts, and performing the altar.
After the ceremony, Zhang Huan was considered an official Taoist priest, and worshiped under Zhang Jingrui and Ziren Dao.
At the same time, Zhang Huan was also awarded a plate, scriptures, ritual utensils and Taoist robes.
The book on the plate: Disciple Zhang Huan, with multiple legal names, hometown address, birth date, sincerity to the Tao, refuge in Taoism, and asked to be under the Heavenly Master, to perform the Dharma position, to promote the Tao Xuanhua, to benefit the people, and beg the Heavenly Master to perform the name of the job on his behalf, and to include it.
According to his requirements, the Heavenly Master Zuting (Interpretation of the Law) declared the Heavenly Court and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Temple of Heaven Jade Grid", he first awarded the "Taishang Sanwu Du Gong Jing Gong" urn, which is the sixth grade.
Why did Zhang Huan go to great lengths to worship the Daomen, and even did not hesitate to offer three potatoes as a bundle of cultivation.
Because of this process of receiving the consecration, it is equivalent to reporting to heaven and earth, and handling the official identity of the Taoist priest, and the entire heaven and earth immortals recognize the authentic identity of your Taoist sect.
Tang Seng is so powerful, every country has to show his documents in the past.
This is nothing more than why Zhang Huan attaches so much importance to this.
…………
Zhang Huan's master, Ziren Daoren, is a Taoist who is calm and indifferent, and restrains his desires, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, and is said to be the fifth son of a contemporary heavenly master.
He called Zhang Huan and said: "The Taoist temple is newly established, so everything is simple, now that you have been punished, you have to go to the cultivation of the avenue, at least you have to stay up all night Lao Tzu wants to note", there are also "Zhengyi French Heavenly Master Teaching Precepts", "Zhengyi Alliance Weizhen", "Tianguan Zhangben".
There are also reciting the names of the ancestors and immortals, learning the practice of opening the altar in the future, drawing talismans and reciting mantras are inseparable from these...... The most common is that Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law, and you should have heard it. ”
Ziren Daoren saw that Zhang Huan was listening seriously, so he nodded and asked him to study his homework well.
Time flies, and another three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
During this time, Zhang Huan learned a lot of Zhengyi related knowledge, and it turned out that Zhengyi was based on spell runes as the core, which included both the powerful and domineering thunder method and the Ganlin rune to save people and cure diseases.

However, because the time was too short, he only learned part of it in a hurry. Thunder is a high-level spell, although I haven't heard of anyone who can really summon thunder like in the story, but it's not something he can learn from the current six-rank Taoist.
But it's already March, and it is estimated that Duan Yu has been brought to Jiangnan by Gu Mozhi.
So he also had to go down.
So he walked out of the master's room from the backyard and prepared to say goodbye to Daoist Ziren.
"Master, I have to go down the mountain today to help my friend, and you should take care of yourself."
"Go, go, you take the scriptures with you, and you must practice diligently." Zhang Jingrui waved his hand, signaling that Zhang Huan didn't have to worry.
"Master, this is the divine fruit in the last tribute and view, there are still three here for the apprentice, left for the master, which can be used to heal the wounds and diseases, or to open a field in the mountain, this species is under it, although there is no longer a miracle, but the yield is extremely high, and it is also regarded as the apprentice's contribution to the mountain, and the apprentice retired first."
Zhang Huan said goodbye to his master and went down the mountain.
I didn't stay too much and went straight to Wuxi City.
He is also well prepared to participate in this big wave.
