Chapter 544: Chaotian Palace Morning Sacrifice

Chaotian Palace is located in the west gate of Jinling water, which is the largest, most complete and highest specification palace building of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the reputation of the first victory in Jinling.

According to legend, after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set the capital of Jinling, he recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build this Chaotian Palace as a royal dojo for the Ming Dynasty royal family to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Chaotian Palace is the Taoist temple, the east is the Fuxue, the west is the Bian Temple, the three are symmetrical layout of the central axis, and it seems to be extremely strict and neat.

At 6:50 in the morning, there were already many good men and women standing in the square in front of the Taoist temple, and everyone looked forward to it, and they all looked at the sacrificial platform in front of them.

The platform is surrounded by flags, and there are 24 drums inside, symbolizing the 24 solar terms.

There are six gongs on the left and right, symbolizing the twelve hours of the day.

Among them, the mahogany table is covered with apricot-yellow coarse cloth, on which are painted with Bagua Tai Chi and various Taoist runes.

There are large and small Taoist ritual instruments on the table, which can be used during the morning sacrifice.

Chaotian Palace is located in the middle of Qixia Mountain, which is impassable by cars, so you can only climb the mountain on foot.

Lin Feng didn't think there was anything, but Wei Hong was too tired to do it.

He is already negligent in exercising, and his body has been hollowed out by wine over the years, how can he withstand such a toss?

After coming to the square, Wei Hong was so tired that he sat on the ground and said that he couldn't get up anymore: "No, no, no, this time is so empty, hey, my legs are going to break!" ”

Seeing that he was panting like a bellows, Lin Feng sneered: "It's like this at a young age, what if you get old?" ”

Wei Hong didn't care: "When I'm old, let people carry me up the mountain!" Boss, you are really, you obviously have a sliding pole to go up the mountain, why don't you sit? ”

Lin Feng said coldly: "What kind of sliding pole do you sit on in these few steps?" If you don't exercise, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will die suddenly on a woman. ”

Wei Hong grinned: "That can't, I never bother with this effort, I just let them sit up and move by themselves!" ”

Lin Feng sighed secretly, this guy is hopeless.

Dangdangdang –

At this moment, a crisp gong sounded, which shook everyone's eardrums.

"Here we go!" Wei Hong stood up with the stone statue next to him, pointed to the gate of the Taoist temple and shouted, "Boss, look there!" ”

Lin Feng followed the gesture and looked over.

Squeaksβ€”

A heavy sound sounded, and the two wooden doors on the east side slowly opened.

"Why isn't it the main entrance?" Lin Feng asked.

Wei Hong explained: "The main gate is only opened during the New Year's festival or when important people are welcomed, and on weekdays, Taoist priests enter and exit through the east gate, and pilgrims go through the west gate. ”

"Dangdangdangβ€”"

Another gong sounded.

Two rows of thirteen or fourteen Taoist boys each held cymbals and gongs, and struck them rhythmically with the pace.

Behind them were two rows of Dao boys, but slightly older, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who carried the Yunluo umbrella and walked after.

In the center is a female Taoist priest over thirty years old, with her hair tied up and crowned high, her facial features are sharp, she is holding a dust, wearing a light gray Taoist robe, and she is slowly walking towards the altar.

"There are still women in the Taoist temple?" Lin Feng asked.

Wei Hong smiled: "Boss, didn't I tell you before, my family sent a female Taoist priest to kidnap Han Xi, and it was her!" ”

Lin Feng's eyes froze.

I said that this female Taoist priest is a little familiar, isn't this the woman who appeared in the Han family's surveillance that night?

It turned out that Han Xi was kidnapped by her.

Damn it!

As soon as he thought of this, the killing intent on Lin Feng's body almost turned into substance, and even the air around him dropped sharply.

"Hey, I'm grass, why is it so cold!" Wei Hong tightened his neckline and rubbed his hands one after another.

"What is the origin of this female Taoist?" Lin Feng asked.

Wei Hong scratched his head: "Songhe Zhenren has six disciples, she is the fifth ranked Xumu, and the sixth is my grandfather, whose legal name is Xuchen." ”

Lin Feng condensed and said, "Since he is a disciple of Songhe Zhenren, his strength must be very strong, right?" ”

Wei Hong nodded, "It's very strong, otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't have given her such an important task." ”

Lin Feng said: "Does this woman have a good relationship with your grandfather?" ”

Wei Hong said: "It's quite ordinary, I heard my grandfather talk about her, it is said that this woman ignored all the brothers except for the occasional few words with Songhe Zhenren." ”

Lin Feng asked, "That's weird, since the relationship is not good, then why does she want to work for your Wei family?" ”

Wei Hong grinned: "Boss, you can ask me down, why don't you ask my grandfather another day, see what he says." ”

Lin Feng was noncommittal.

He couldn't wait so long, and when the morning sacrifice was over, he would ask the female Taoist priest for clarification.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate.

Just rushed over and tortured, and the other party would definitely not say.

If you make trouble on someone else's territory, you can't take advantage of it.

It's better to think of a way to get things done quietly.

Knock Knock Knock –

Dangdangdang –

Click, Click, Click

Qiang Qiang Qiang –

The sound of drums, gongs, and various ritual instruments on the altar was resounded.

It is chaotic when you listen to it, but when you listen closely, you find that there is rhythm and rhythm in it.

After a piece of music, the Void Curtain Dao Master stroked on the left and right sides with a whisk in his hand, dipped the rootless water in the bowl with his other hand, and played it three times at the sentient beings below.

Immediately afterward, she closed her eyes and calmed down, and said something in her mouth: "Pude Jidu, all her heart." There were no slanders, and the earth was poured back. Do good deeds, do not kill or harm. No jealousy, no adultery, no theft. Not greedy, not hateful. There is no flashy words, and there is no evil voice in the mouth. Together, we love and become married. National security and people's abundance, Xinle Taiping ......"

This is one of the Taoist classics, "The Book of Crossing the People!" ”

According to legend, this sutra is a speech on the opening of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, which is very rich in content, not only contains the Taoist understanding of the generation of heaven and earth, but also contains the principle of natural changes in the three realms and ten directions.

Reading it regularly can have all kinds of wonderful effects.

Many years ago, Songhe Zhenren stipulated that every morning sacrifice of the chief priest should recite the "Crossing People Sutra", which is used to warn and persuade the world, let go of evil thoughts, and regain good results.

The virtual curtain on the stage was reciting, and thousands of believers in the audience were also chanting together, and the voices were uniform and spectacular.

On the other hand, Lin Feng and Wei Hong are particularly different.

They don't know what to do, so they can only put their hands in their pockets and watch coldly.

Lin Feng said secretly, Professor Zheng said that the morning sacrifice of Chaotian Palace is the ritual of the Warring States Period, but why can't I see it at all?

If you want to find clues about the stone box, it's even more nonsense.

I don't know if it's a run for nothing today.

These people on the stage are similar to dancing gods, and the gods are chattering, similar to neuropathy.

About half an hour later, the morning festival ended.

Believers either come forward to give alms, burn incense and pray, and many more choose to turn around and descend the mountain.

Spiritual sustenance is important, but it is even more important to earn money at work, and you have to deduct money if you are late!

"Boss, let's go too!"

"Don't worry, please do something."

"Our relationship, what please don't please, I have something to say!"

"I want to know the Void Curtain Daoist, you can introduce me."
