Chapter Twenty-Six: Taizu
The fish dragon with golden whiskers and colorful scales comes out of the water, facing the sun with rainbow light, the golden branches and jade leaves flutter with the wind, if the virgin demeanor, shy and delicate, the ninety-nine petals of the purple golden lotus are still in bud, and the spirit deer and cranes swim freely.
It's just that there is a nine-foot incense burner in the courtyard that doesn't usually exist.
There are three extremely long and thick incense sticks inserted in the incense burner, which are called soul incense.
In the pure view, after each powerful person ascends, his disciples will personally insert and light this incense burner and keep it for seven days and seven nights.
This thing means to attract the soul, so that it will not suffer after ascending, and continue the front edge in the next life.
But at this time, the incense was at its peak, but there was no one to guard it.
The cigarette turned into wisps of silk and was connected to the three hundred miles of auspicious clouds thousands of miles away from the head, and the soul of the immortal was returned to it.
A group of more than 20 people came from behind, all of them young people.
The young people had their own sadness on their faces, and the closer they got to the censer, the more revealing it became.
Some delicate girls shed tears, as if they had pulled some lead, and many girls cried one after another.
Zhang Tiansheng followed their team, and he was also a little infected by this sad atmosphere, and his nose was sour.
He looked at the incense burning in the furnace, and the wisps of white smoke went straight to the sky, and the auspicious clouds changed at this moment, turning into the appearance of a sword.
For no reason, such a figure appeared in Zhang Tiansheng's mind: that figure slashed out a hundred miles with a sword, chic and confident; and a hundred swords in an instant, showing the posture of heaven and man; and then broke the sword and slashed, the heavens and the earth were silenced, and all spirits surrendered; and finally he knelt on the ground to worship, not knowing where to worship the ghosts and gods?
Why should he worship demons and gods?
He suddenly remembered that he had seen the figure.
And so the man had fallen on the ground, and had been before him.
Was it him?
Under the leadership of Lin Qingjing, the disciple of the Guan Lord, that is, the contemporary elder sister Lin Qingjing, the juniors of the Qingzi generation of the Qingjing Concept, guarded the three elders Lin Linshan as their teacher.
They took turns kneeling to the incense burner and then began to sweep the courtyard.
Although the pure view is a pure place in the world, especially the gate courtyard is not clean, the golden branches do not fall leaves, and the splendid flowers do not fall. But men and women are still careful, for fear of missing a detail.
Zhang Tiansheng stood there, watching them move, but he didn't know what to do, and no one came to ask him to do anything.
After worshipping the incense and cleaning the courtyard, the young men and women turned to the great hall on the left.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I didn't see anyone but heard the sound of the Tao, and I didn't hear the words of people but felt calm.
There are three spiritual platforms in the hall, a Taizu platform in the middle, there is a high Taizu golden body standing on it, it holds the heavenly scriptures, the body is surrounded by golden scales and the dragon, under the foot is the god phoenix that is breathing fire, under the god phoenix is a dark gold treasure platform, there are four characters sprinkled with foreign flowers, such as the dragon and snake swimming: Taizu Baoxiang.
Zhang Tiansheng looked up along the golden statue, but saw Taizu looking ahead, his eyes were faint and unknown, and his tongue was slightly open, as if he could not save the world with a mantra.
For some reason, Zhang Tiansheng only felt that his legs were weak for a while, so he knelt on the ground and bowed, and when he got up again, tears fell to the ground.
Twenty or so young men and women were confused on the side, although they worshiped Taizu wholeheartedly, but they did not believe, but according to the ancestors' teachings, they were grateful for Taizu's great kindness to the world, but they didn't want anyone in this world to be so enthusiastic about Taizu, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
But this black-clothed young man seemed to have lost his soul, and after bowing up, he knelt there, staring blankly at the statue of Taizu Jin, with his mouth wide open, as if he had something to say and couldn't make a sound, and the pain was unbearable.
No one saw it.
Taizu lowered his eyebrows, stared at the kneeling young man, turned a page of the Heavenly Dao scriptures in his hand, the golden dragon swam, the divine phoenix spread its wings, and the majesty with the aura of desolation shocked the young man!
The golden body spoke, unable to hear the syllables or the rhythm, only hearing a vague and faint word "sheng".
As soon as this word came out, there were all kinds of auspiciousness, the dragon walked and the phoenix soared, and rose in the wind, the sunlight was actually at this time, if the essence flowed fireflies, and there were hundreds of birds singing together, the fairy crane and the spirit deer walked around its body, the colorful scale fish and dragon jumped up and down, and the ninety-nine petals of the purple golden lotus should be auspicious and blooming.
It's slow, but it's just a moment.
No one hears it, and no one sees the vision.
When Zhang Tiansheng came back to his senses, he was in a trance, like a big dream, and the auspiciousness was shocking.
The young men and women only saw this road and realized that the young man named Zhang Tiansheng knelt down in front of the golden statue of Taizu and cried, thinking that he had suffered some grievance, and was puzzled.
Zhang Tiansheng only felt cold on his face, and when he reached out and touched it, he found two water droplets.
"Which of you sprayed me?" he asked.
The disciples of the Pure Meditation seemed to have a good heart, and they did not want to pierce the self-esteem of this young man, after all, it was understandable that children of this age could not accept that they were making a fool of themselves in front of outsiders, so they had to chuckle and shake their heads, and turned to the shore platform next to them.
To the left and right of the golden statue of Taizu, there are two such as stepped shore platforms, one step and one high, but the highest point is also half an inch lower than Taizu's golden body - this is a tribute to Taizu.
The enshrined on the desk are the ancestors of the pure view of the past dynasties, and the higher you go, the older the era becomes.
At the bottom of the shore on the left, there was a box with a plain cloth wrapped around itโit must be the creeping dead man there?, Zhang Tiansheng thought to himself.
Yes, it is Lin Dangqi's ashes after incineration, and now they are temporarily placed on the ancestral spirit platform, and when the soul-attracting incense is exhausted, it will be sent to the cemetery for burial, and there will be an extra spirit card here.
After the young men and women bowed to the box three times, they wiped the floating ash on the box, but even the courtyard was dusty, and there was Taizu's golden body to suppress it here, how could there be dust falling?
After everything was done silently, everyone went out to the incense burner again, which was the purpose of their trip.
When he came out of the gate of this hall, Zhang Tiansheng looked back at the statue of Taizu again, still looking far-reaching, the golden scales around his body were still beady, and the divine phoenix was still spitting divine fire as if he was about to burn everything.
Nothing has changed.
Everything is hallucinatory.
Twenty or so men and women sat around the incense burner, sitting cross-legged and quiet, and before sitting down, Lin Qingjing and Zhang Tiansheng said the only thing after coming here.
"You can walk around and take a look, or you can sit here for a while, but remember not to trespass, some places can be dangerous for you. With that, he flicked the hem of his skirt and sat down cross-legged.
......
Before and after the mountain.
Another crowd went to the gate.
Their steps were a little heavy, as if they were reluctant to walk.
There was a sword flying in the air, and on the sword lay a one-armed man, who could not move and did not want to move.
Guan Lord Lin Linshi really couldn't stay any longer, just after leaving, everyone else was still there, and Lin Guangyan was among them.
Suddenly, Lin Guangyan, who had always been in a rickety posture, straightened his waist suddenly, his dry eyes widened, and he looked ahead, and even his pupils shrank to the size of a pintip.
When something big happened, Lin Guangyan couldn't wait any longer, and said, "I'll go first." And he disappeared in an instant.
His disciples and grandchildren still looked at each other and didn't know what was going on, but they just sighed: "The ability of the master ancestor is thorough! I'm afraid it's second only to the ancestor back then!"
"Heh, just because of my age, I'm afraid I'm older than Taizu back then. Someone chuckled, but with some bitterness, and at such a time, no one really could laugh.
The Taoist priest with the broken arm lay on the sword, not saying a word, just looking at the cloud thousands of miles above his head, his eyes did not roll, and his thoughts did not move.
The ancestor of Qingjingguan didn't know how far away in an instant, and he appeared directly in the courtyard, looking left and right, and finally saw Zhang Tiansheng lying in front of the pool and trying to catch fish.
"That's a fish dragon, you can't move!" Lin Guangyan shouted, making Qingjing and the others frown and open their eyes, but when they saw that it was their own family ancestor, they couldn't say anything, so they closed their eyes and kept quiet.
Zhang Tiansheng was also frightened by this sound that almost resounded in the sky, and he couldn't jump out of eight zhang high, with a dissatisfied and resentful face, he looked at the old man and said, "What are you doing, who do you want to scare to death?"
The moment he turned his head, he noticed that the old man seemed to be stunned, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Lin Guangyan came back to his senses, stared at the young man in front of him for a long time, and asked, "How did you open your seal?"
In fact, the pure view of the ancestors of the Tao is through the sky, the cultivation is bottomless, the opening and closing of the mouth are all creation, and the opening and closing of the eyes are spring and autumn, but for some reason the sword has been sealed for many years, claiming: to set aside the last sword for himself. Don't make a move.
If you don't shoot, you can't make a shot, and your eyesight is always there.
