December 17, it is advisable to sacrifice.

The main hall of the Purple Mountain View.

Ma Ping sat on the official hat chair with a solemn face, and behind him was the statue of the ancestor of the Three Qing Dao.

In front of him, a copper incense burner burned sandalwood, and green smoke rose slightly.

He is wearing a bright red Taoist robe today, with Taoist runes on both shoulders, chest and back, and hem, which is exquisite and solemn.

pinching his fingers to calculate that the auspicious time has come, he nodded lightly;

On the side, Lao He immediately bowed and walked to the door of the main hall with his head held high.

He was also wearing a brand-new black robe today, full of energy, and said loudly:

"All the people ~ meet the Lord of the Audience ~" The voice was subdued and frustrated.

"Bye!"

Outside the temple.

Several of the leading figures of Zhuangzi near the Purple Mountain were quietly gathered in a circle, their eyes roaming inside and outside the palace gate.

In front of the patio.

Five seven or eight-year-old boys, lined up, knelt down neatly and said:

"The believers and others knock to see the Lord, may the Lord ascend the road as soon as possible and live with the sky!"

"Bye-bye!"

And the boys prostrated again.

"Three bows!"

The boys prostrated three times.

The five boys are all boys, wearing small robes, but there are also distinctions.

The boy on the far left is dressed in blue, and the other four are dressed in black.

"Libi~"

Clang~

After the operation, Lao He retreated to Ma Ping's side, bowed and said:

"Enlighten the Lord, the boys' rituals have been completed, can they enter my Purple Mountain Gate?"

This initiation ceremony has its own rules, so Ma Ping nodded and said:

"Yes"

Lao He bowed again, accepted the order, and walked to the door of the palace.

The majesty glanced at the boys, and then passed on the decree of Ma Ping, and said loudly:

"Looking at the Lord's decree, all the boys have complete rituals, and they can enter my Purple Mountain Gate!"

The five boys were agitated for a while, but in the end they knew the occasion in the end.

Bow in unison:

"Respectfully contemplating the Lord's decree!"

Bye, pray, pray.

Rise.

Lao He nodded solemnly, then returned to Ma Ping's side, bowed down and said:

"Enlightening the Lord, those who enter my Purple Mountain Gate today have five children"

"For Niu Mingli, Niu Chuyi, Wang Wusi, Wang Dali, Zhang Ping'an"

Lao He bowed again:

"Please observe the Lord's instructions!"

This is the end of the boy's refuge ceremony.

Ma Ping's jaw said:

"Niu Mingli stayed, and the other boys retreated first"

"Obey the law!"

Lao He led the order to the door of the hall and said:

"The boy Niu Mingli stayed, and the rest of the boys retreated~"

When the five boys heard this, they all bowed down and said:

"Yes!"

Then the four black-clothed boys got up and stepped aside, and stood under the eaves, two on each side.

But at this time, everyone's eyes were taken away from them, and they all looked at the boy in Tsing Yi who was still standing in the middle of the courtyard.

At this time, there is no need for Lao He to speak, Ma Ping said loudly:

"The boy Niu Mingli enters the hall!"

When the boy in Tsing Yi heard this, he prostrated and said:

"Obey the law!"

Then he got up, straightened his body, and walked into the main hall.

When he reached a third of the way, he did not continue to step forward, but fell to his knees:

"Boy Niu Mingli knocks to see the Lord!"

Ma Ping nodded slightly, this Niu Mingli is Niu Fugui's third son, who has early wisdom, and he saw that he had a good cultivation talent, so he accepted him as a registered disciple.

Now it's time for the induction ceremony.

With a light cough, the entire Purple Mountain Temple instantly quieted down, Ma Ping got up, first turned his back to the Sanqing Dao Ancestor to incense, and then said:

"Today, there is a boy Niu Mingli, a young and vulgar net, and an early admiration of the true style. Today, by the grace of the immortals, Xu Yuan Daoxiang, the mandala is in Xuandan, and the crown is in Changshi, and the Shu is burned and repaired, and the true saint is reported to the three realms, the ten directions are really slaughtered, the heaven and the earth, and all the sages.

"There is no great way to take refuge. ”

Today's etiquette has been explained in advance, and Niu Mingli immediately said:

"I wish to take refuge in the Infinite Path!"

Ma Ping turned around, nodded slightly, and said:

"In this case, the poor Taoist will accept you as my registered disciple, and from now on you will be a Taoist scripture teacher, bow to the precepts, and remember to remember" After a slight pause, he continued:

"The number of the Celestial Law is the Ming Law~"

Niu Mingli, no, the Mingfa boy said respectfully:

"Yes, thank you Master for giving me the Dharma name!"

At this point, all today's ceremonies are over, Ma Ping beckoned Lao He to come closer, and said:

"Arrange for the new arrivals to stay, and the specific functional arrangements will be discussed tomorrow."

"Let's talk about it in the evening"

Lao He naturally had no opinion, and said:

"Yes, Lord"

Nodding slightly, Ma Ping walked towards the crowd of spectators.

Smile said:

"Lay people, you have worked hard from afar, and please use tea in the backyard"

Seeing Ma Ping coming, everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted again and again.

Niu Fugui grew fat, squeezed forward hard, and said flatteringly:

"Looking at the main Dao bone fairy wind, it is really a blessing for our children to be able to enter the Purple Mountain Gate~"

On the left side of Niu Fugui, the fat man who was squeezed away just now also saw the stitches:

"I'm very fortunate that there are two people in Wangjiazhuang to get started~"

As soon as he said this, the thin old man next to him raised his eyebrows and made a bitter face. He is the Li Zheng of Zhang Village, and only one person was selected by their village this time!

But he still spread the folds on his face and said:

"In the future, if the Lord has orders, Zhang Cun should help him!"

The corners of Ma Ping's mouth curled slightly, these people are all the leading figures in the nearby villages, in the long run, if the Purple Mountain Temple wants to develop and grow, it is necessary to unify these people.

Now the inclusion of their children in the view is only the first step in the impact.

Naturally, there will be a second and third step later, until the foundation of the Purple Mountain View is completely stable!

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Ma Ping led a few people to the backyard.

......

At night.

The crowd had already descended the mountain to go back.

In this era, there are no street lamps or the like, and when it gets dark, if the moonlight is not bright enough, it is completely impossible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.

The newcomers to the Taoist temple have also arranged to rest.

Abbot indoors.

Ma Ping sat opposite Lao He.

Lao He excitedly said:

"Lord, there are a total of nine people who have joined the view today."

"There is a little master of the Ming Law, four boys, and two couples"

When Lao He said this, he raised his head and asked:

"Lord, I wonder how this office should be distributed?"

Ma Ping's eyes were indifferent, and he asked rhetorically:

"If you have any ideas, just tell me"

"Hehe" Lao He smiled before he said:

"There are many more functions in the view now, such as purchasing, but now there are more people, and it is not like in the past to buy some at a time, and a purchasing function must be set up."

"In addition, there are 12 people in the kitchen every day, and there is a need to set up a kitchen function."

"Another is the use of degrees, there are more places to spend money, well, there are more offerings than before, and you need to be managed by special people, and this use should be the top priority."

Ma Ping bowed slightly, in the past, there were few people, and everything was handled by Lao He, so there was no division of duties, but now that there are many people, there must be rules.

Then said:

"That's right!"

"Then there will be a prison yard, compradors, and vegetable heads" looked at Lao He:

"You are the prison and the treasury, and you find out the temperament of these people as the comprador and the vegetable head, and arrange it as appropriate."

When Lao He heard this, he got up and said:

"Yes, Lord"

Ma Ping nodded slightly, and then said:

"You just said that the servants and the like, how to arrange those boys, have you thought about it?"

Lao He shook his head and said:

"But no, please behold the Lord's instructions"

Ma Ping's jaw said:

"These children have just entered the court, and they haven't learned my Taoist classics, so they will follow the morning and evening classes to learn the scriptures, and they will also take on the cleaning duties of the halls."

"Yes, Lord"
