Chapter 8 Recipes

Back in his room, Zhao Ran habitually pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the movement of the door, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything except for Zhumeng's breathing and the occasional walking sound. It was also Zhao Ran who read a lot of various online novels before crossing over, and many of the characters in the books often talked to themselves, so much so that Zhao Ran also wanted to hear what Zhu Meng said to himself.

In fact, as a normal person, who would inexplicably talk to himself? At least Zhao Ran has never done such a thing in his life, and among the people who are used to talking to themselves, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred are mentally ill, and the remaining one is likely to have not woken up.

Zhao Ran really wanted to rush to the opposite room and ask that guy, how did you learn, Lao Tzu added the golden finger day and night, and only learned the Zhai Jiao ritual two years in advance, is it possible that people like you with good qualifications and good bones are destined to ride on the heads of Lao Tzu forever? Lao Tzu is not convinced!

Zhao Ran's own family was sullen in the house, in fact, he chose the wrong comparison target, if he chose a normal chanting Taoist child to compare, his learning achievements would definitely be crushing. At least, Ma Zhili, who has been in the scripture hall for nine years, was almost forced out of breath by Zhao Ran.

Ma Zhili has been firmly in the first class since four years ago, but seeing that this year, Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran both exploded in the monthly examination results, he felt deeply uneasy. Especially since this month, when he learned that the two of them began to answer and write first-class exam papers, Ma Zhili was going crazy.

According to the rules and conventions of Wuji Academy, Ma Zhili was the first candidate for the transfer of posts among the chanting and Taoist children in the scripture hall. Four years ago, there was a vacancy in the head of the circle, Ma Zhili was reluctant to go, and it was the unlucky Zhou Zhixiu who went to the vacancy; two years ago, there was a vacancy at the head of the guest hall, and the prospects for this job exhibition were relatively bright, and he wanted to go, but unfortunately he was snatched away by Yu Zhiyuan, who had a solid background and only half a point lower than him in the monthly and annual examinations.

Well, Ma Zhili is very sorry that he couldn't transfer to the door of the guest hall, but he can also accept this result, after Yu Zhiyuan left, if nothing else, as long as there is a vacancy such as "five masters and eighteen heads", he can take the first place in the ranks. But who knew that this year, there were two guys, Zhu Zhimeng and Zhao Zhiran, one more fierce than the other, and they were in the first class for the next month! Zhu Zhimeng said that people have strange bones, and they are destined to be people who want to go to the pavilion to cultivate, and they will not pose a threat to themselves, but Zhao Zhiran is different, this kid's rising posture is too strong, it has only been ten months, and he actually participated in the assessment of the first-class examination paper, and I heard that Jiang Gaogong was very satisfied with his performance after the interview!

Ma Zhili felt a great panic - could it be that God destined him to have no life to climb up? Could it be that he would have to give up the opportunity to move to others next time? What a real unwillingness!

The unwilling Ma Zhili didn't sleep well all night, and early the next morning, he rushed to the scripture hall to see the October monthly exam posted outside the scripture hall. I am in first place, there is no suspense for the time being, and then ...... Behind his name, he saw the names Zhao Zhiran and Zhu Zhimeng...... Ma Zhili's face turned pale instantly, he felt that the sky was about to fall, and he was distracted from the morning and evening classes.

Zhao Ran didn't know Ma Zhili's careful thoughts, even if he knew, he didn't care, his mood was slightly better than yesterday, because his name was in front of Zhumeng!

After the morning class and evening class ended, Zhao Ran and Zhu Meng both stayed, and the two fought with each other for a few words, and they were called over by Liu Jingzhu.

"Needless to say, Senior Brother Zhu Zhimeng, a few years ago, I brought a junior disciple, the same as you, they are all people with cultivation roots, but when he left a year later, he had not yet learned the ritual of Zhaijiao, but you were three months ahead of schedule, and you got the first rank. I heard that the junior disciple is now successful in cultivation, and he is also one of the few young disciples in the Huayun Pavilion. Liu Jingzhu sighed and continued: "When you arrive at Huayun Pavilion next year, as long as you work hard, your achievements will definitely be even higher!"

won the praise of Liu Jingzhu, Zhu Meng glanced at Zhao Ran, his eyes were full of arrogance.

After praising Zhumeng, Liu Jingzhu turned to Zhao Ran again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but just sighed regretfully, but it made Zhao Ran feel very uncomfortable.

"The two of you have already read through the "Supreme Huang Zheng Da Lent Establishment Ceremony", and you have a cognition of the Zhai Jiao ritual, and according to Senior Brother Jiang's instructions, I will inform you here of the practical methods of the two of you when you are fasting Jiao. Senior Brother Jiang is looking forward to the two of you...... Well, it's just that the junior brothers are all right, junior brother Zhao Zhiran, you have to be more attentive. ”

The more Zhao Ran listened, the more awkward he felt, and he didn't know where he flew because of the little joy that his name was listed in front of Zhumeng. My heart gradually became sentimental with Liu Jingzhu's words, and I secretly cursed in my heart, "Damn the root bones!"

Liu Jingzhu began to teach the method of fasting Jiao.

"Supreme Huang Zheng Da Lent Licheng Ceremony" records all the processes of Zhai Jiao, what objects need to be prepared, how to set up the altar at the beginning, how to worship in the middle, and how to beat Jiao in the back, so Liu Jingzhu did not say much about this, just let the two, especially Zhao Ran, do what is described in the book. The key to his teaching is the essentials of the movements in the Jiao fast, which are divided into several parts, including the hand, the step, the use of the Dharma instrument, the essentials of chanting mantras, etc., and he will start with the mantra today.

The technique is one of the basic essentials of the Tao, and it is very complicated, and it is not just a gesture. The human body is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, so every part of the body corresponds to the celestial phenomena, and the same is true of the palms of the hands. The various parts on the palm of the hand correspond to Tiangang Beidou, the Twelve Hours, the Nine Palaces Bagua, etc.

Liu Jingzhu first asked the two of them to spread out their palms and stretch them flat, and then pointed out the corresponding meanings of each part one by one.

For example, the five fingers and fifteen knots represent a variety of meanings. If you count the nine palace gossip, the middle finger of the knots corresponds to the middle palace, and the upper and lower knots and the index finger and the ring finger each of the three knots represent the eight directions of the eight trigrams, among them, starting from the lower knots of the ring finger (rotating around the middle palace in a clockwise direction), in order of Qian, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun, Zhen, Li, Dui.

If the twelve hours are counted, the knots on the index finger are downward in turn, and the order is backward, then it is Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The Big Dipper and the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras also have detailed correspondences, which must be kept in mind.

By incorporating all the celestial phenomena, directions, and hours into the palm of your hand, you can "express the universe in the palm of your hand", that is, the so-called "universe cares about the hand, and all incarnations are born in the body". According to Liu Jingzhu's explanation, the hand formula is an important part of the Jiao Festival, and the hand formula is combined with Bugang and mantra to make the heavens and immortals and gods psychic descending the law.

Of course, now Zhao Ran has been in Wuji Courtyard for a long time, and he is skeptical. What he doubted was not this set of things—the world didn't need to doubt it anymore, what he doubted was whether these methods were correct for the worldly Taoist priests in the Ten Directions Jungle Temple? Can they work? Or do they need other methods to cooperate? Unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to enter the pavilion in the secret place of the Dao Gate, and he didn't have the roots and qualifications of cultivation, so he couldn't solve the puzzle for the time being.

The so-called pinching trick is to pinch the thumb on the rest of the palm parts that represent different meanings, such as pinching "Qianwen", that is, the thumb is pinched on the lower part of the ring finger. This is the simplest single trick in the formula, Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran, one is talented, and the other is a golden finger, so Liu Jingzhu taught it very quickly. The two of them soon memorized it, and did not even delay the afternoon rest.

The single recipe is relatively simple, just remember the meaning represented by the palm of the hand, and the really complex and complex is the composite text formed by the combination of single texts, and the combination text that continuously evolves from compound texts. For example, in the refining instrument of the undead, if you need to ask Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun to go down to earth, you must pinch the compound text: the palms of both hands are crossed together, the left hand is bent into the palm, and the remaining nine fingers are exposed, implying nine lion heads, so it is also known as "lion trick" - Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun and his old man's mount is the nine-headed lion.

In the formula, the more capable and strong the master, the simpler the trick, the more inferior the god general, the more complex the trick, to the heavenly soldiers, Tianding Lux first-class, you need to combine the combination of texts. Zhao Ran asked, then I just learned to pinch simple tricks, the tricks are simple, and the ones who come down are powerful, why not do it?

According to Liu Jingzhu's explanation, this is the case in theory, but in practice it does not work. The more capable and strong the master, the higher the people's vision - there are too few sacrifices, and there are more things - they don't have time to take care of you, so it's hard to get moving. On the contrary, those little gods, although the tricks are complicated, can basically invite the mortal world.

Next, after Liu Jingzhu's daily evening class, he spent about half an hour teaching the compound essay and the combined essay to the two of them in turn according to the special "Trick". After teaching the "Trick", the relevant contents such as Bugang, mantras, and magic tools will be explained one by one.

On the day after Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran won the first place again in the monthly examination in the eleventh month, Jiang Gaogong informed the two of them to get ready and took them down the mountain to help with Zhaijiao.
