Fifteen, obey the command of the gods

Master's studio is located in a commercial and residential apartment. The facilities inside are simple and complex.

It is said to be simple because there are no luxurious furniture, exquisite furnishings, no functional office area, not even a TV, computer;

To say that it is complicated, those who know a little bit will find that there are at least two formations hidden inside. Whether it is the unicorn Taiji on the balcony or the cornucopia in the entrance, there is infinite power hidden.

Master's altar is, of course, the essence of the entire studio.

The altar is the highest position, offering the portraits of the three Qings, and the three ancestors are majestic and kind. It is said that each of these portraits has the blood of the Master in it. The three ancestors were condescending and supported the entire altar.

In front of the portrait of the ancestor is the tablet of the Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei. Emperor Ziwei is Marshal Zhao, the god of martial arts, and the tablet of the land (of course, the master's altar is the full version of the title, I can't memorize it, so I will write a simple version that everyone can understand), and then there is the Tai Sui tablet and a statue of the Nine Dragons God of Wealth.

In the center of the offering table in front of the altar are the five thunder orders, the ghost fighting stick, and a mahogany wat board. These are the standard configurations of the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi School. The offering table is filled with talismans blessed by devotees from all over the world, or consecrated objects that are being enshrined.

Of course, there are incense burners, fruit offerings, and ever-bright lamps.

And the most special thing is a separately framed picture frame, which contains a total of nine small tablets, two on the top and seven on the bottom.

The following seven are the master's seven friends of the Xuan Ming, that is, Zhao Xian'er and Chang Meiniang. And the two above are the master's obedient generals: Zhang Chao and Zhao Wei.

Obeying the orders of the gods, in the words of the master, means that the cultivation has reached a certain level, and there is a certain level in the heavens, and the establishment of the above is matched. It's like mixing to a certain level in a company, with a secretary and a driver. However, these two are certainly not secretaries and drivers. There is also a little story about the origin of these two.

In the third year of Master's cultivation, he was invited by Taoist friends to go to Henan to participate in a blessing ceremony.

Unexpectedly, the day before the blessing ceremony began, a supernatural event occurred in the hotel where they were staying.

That night, Master had just settled down and was about to go out for dinner. Walking to the hotel lobby, a big lady who did hygiene in the hotel suddenly began to shout and babble nonsense. Grabbing the box of napkins at the service desk, he began to imitate the movements of the Red Guards.

There were a lot of people gathered around, some with mobile phones, some pointing fingers, but no one stepped forward to help. Seeing this, the master picked up a large broom next to him and hit the woman's back a few times. The last blow directly knocked her down. After the fight, the master threw the broom and walked away. When the woman got up again, she was back to normal.

Later, the teacher told me that the woman was on the upper body, and the back of the person belonged to the yang, and a few slams were to make the yang energy take the initiative in the body more quickly and force out unclean things. But at that time, the master was also in a hurry, and he didn't think about it so much. There are many prerequisites for the success of this method, and there is a certain element of luck in that success, so it is not worth promoting.

And this kind of thing cannot be left to chance, and it may touch cause and effect. However, if I am not used to seeing evil and harm to the world, I don't think about it so much.

What Master didn't expect was that this time he acted bravely, which gave him a new harvest!

After doing the Dharma the next day, the master suddenly felt dizzy and in a trance, and felt that there were two big men standing in front of the door. The two big men are both about 1.9 meters tall, which is less short than the door frame. One is more lean, the other is fat.

The two men were dressed in a peculiar way, bald on the top of their heads, but with long hair growing down their heads, thick and flowing. The two were dressed as soldiers of the Song Dynasty, lined with linen, metal armor vests on the outside, wearing combat boots, and no weapons in their hands.

The master immediately told the Daoist friend what he saw, and one of the older Daoists seemed very excited: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the Daoist for harvesting his own obedient general!"

This old Taoist friend motioned to the master to immediately light two sticks of incense and offer them to the place where the two big men appeared. Master immediately complied. The old Taoist friend also said that if the two of them could tell Master by name, then they would never leave Master and obey Him.

That night, sure enough, these two chic men broke into the master's dream. Master thinks this phenomenon is more visible.

But what is very embarrassing is that when the image is developed, the two big men are one left and one right, and the names of the two appear vertically in the middle: Zhang Chao and Zhao Wei. Therefore, until now, the master still doesn't know which of the two of them is Zhang Chao and who is Zhao Wei.

It's like Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, and Ma Han under the Bao Gong account, who only know their names, but don't know who they correspond to.

So, from that day on, there were more men's groups with unique shapes around the master.

I asked Master, have these two looks not changed?

Master said that for a while, the two of them didn't know for some reason, so they changed their looks. The hairstyle place supports the center and combs a bun on the top of the head. Then he also changed into the general's armor. It is estimated that there was some potential danger to the master at that time, and these two were preparing for battle.

But not long after, the two of them returned to that chic shape, one on the left and one on the right, supporting the master's altar.

Master said, "Obey the gods."

The word is a bit high-profile, not very good, and will make people feel proud.

In practice, the emotion of "pride" cannot be had, just like when a thought arises in the heart, there is a distinction between right and wrong, and then many emotions and thoughts that echo "pride" will come out, and that will destroy the "pure mind" that should be there. This is not good!

In my own opinion, the so-called obedience to the orders of the gods is nothing more than when oneself practices to the point where one can "accumulate thick and thin", there will be "initiates" who match one's own level of practice, and others will come, not to obey anyone's orders, but so that everyone can work together to do the cause of "cultivation".

Therefore, "obeying the divine general" is just a title, not a symbol of rank, and the only thing that this title can symbolize is that there are a few more friends of the initiate, and others are willing to give some help in certain things (note, some, not all). And those things that others are unwilling to help (maybe it's a matter of ability) or can't help (maybe it's a matter of cause and effect), then you have to rely on your own cultivation to resolve it.

Therefore, don't blame your progress on the ability and willingness of others, your own business, or you must take yourself as the main body to do it is the right way in the world.
