Chapter 46: Taishang Laojun wants to take the ring
The nine magic weapons were all taken away, and the Yuan Shi Daoist said to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, if it is too late today. A banquet has been prepared on Fuli Peak, and all Taoist brothers are invited to take their seats. ”
At this moment, an old man in Xuanfu walked out of the crowd, wearing a crane and a cold face, which made people feel chills.
This old man is the only immortal in the underworld, the ancestor of the Blood Sea Styx, I saw him arch his hand at Lao Jun, and said: "Brother Taishang Dao, there are some accidents in the underworld, I need to go back, I am out of company." ”
"Something about the underworld. Lao Jun gently raised the dust with his right hand, stretched out his fingers with his left hand, and immediately knew what was going on, so he didn't stop it, and called Xuandu to the Tao. "There are many guests in the barren mountains, and it is inconvenient to get out of the poor road. Xuandu, on behalf of the poor Dao, go and send some Styx river friends. ”
Xuandu answered, and was about to invite the Styx Ancestor to come down the mountain, when the Tongtian Daoist suddenly said: "Xuandu, under this Kunlun Mountain, there is an emerald immortal vine, which is a spiritual root formed in heaven since the opening of chaos. There are two leaves on it, one is the essence of the sun and the other is the essence of the yin. Ask your fellow Styx to pick one to take with you and bring back the other. ”
The Styx Ancestor thanked Taishang and Tongtian, and then followed Xuandu down the mountain.
Looking at the backs of the Styx Ancestor and Xuandu, Ming Xuan whispered to the dust, "Shall we go too." I'm afraid, that's the only clue. ”
It turned out that the two of them went into the flood and famine, and they also went into the flood for one thing, that is, to recover the three great treasures of the opening sky. According to what they thought, the three great treasures were only used by Pangu to open the world, and their whereabouts should also be related to Pangu. But the Fuxi brothers and sisters who are transformed by the innate to the yang origin and the innate to the yin origin only have a measuring ruler in their hands, and the East Kunlun Sanqing, which is formed by the three qi of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, also has only one Xuanhuang Pagoda. So in this way, the last possibility should be on Dijiang and them.
"No hurry, no hurry. At this moment, Dump Dust didn't care so much. "If we're there, we won't run, and if we're not, it's useless for us to go. Taishang Daoist invited all the immortals to come, and we left without permission, didn't we brush his face?"
"That's right. Mingxuan nodded, and happened to see Nuwa and the others coming over at this time, so he didn't mention it.
All the immortals entered the banquet and talked to each other, but the guests and hosts were happy.
The next day, it was the day of the receptacle.
Cultivators pay attention to purity and nature, and do nothing and do nothing. It is the ceremony of accepting the disciples of the etheric Laojun, although it is not cumbersome, but it is also very solemn.
The immortals are otherworldly, dustless, immortal, and clean. But in the early morning of this day, all the immortals still bathed and changed their clothes, showing that they attached great importance to this gift of accepting disciples, and also hoped that this disciple would have noble virtues.
In the Hakkeigu Palace, all kinds of costumes have been prepared. Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Tongtian Dao people are all waiting on the main seat, Taishang is in the center, Yuan Shi is on the left, Tongtian is on the right, and beside them, there is a young man standing. This is the disciple of the opening mountain that the Supreme General is going to accept, and his name is Xuandu.
The hour has come, and all the children and maidens in the palace have played music, and their songs are pure and elegant, peaceful and pleasant.
All the immortals entered the main hall one after another, looking for friends, and stood around to watch.
It didn't take long for Donghua and Xiling to arrive, and Dong Shuangcheng followed behind them with the three sisters of Phantom Ling.
Zhengbin entered, and there was already a boy who reported that it was the ether Laojun who took Yuan Shi and Tongtian to the door of the main hall and came to greet him.
The crowd saluted each other, and then Tongtian led them to their seats first, while Taishang and Yuan Shi were still waiting at the door.
Later, there were nine people including Fu Xi, each of whom came to the front of the hall with his attendants. They are all profound people, although they are not guests, but they are the main witnesses of this ceremony, and their status is no worse than that of Donghua and Xiling.
Everyone greeted each other again, and at the moment, Taishang Laojun led Fuxi, Nuwa, Lead, and Zhun Ti to take a seat, next to the main seat. And Yuan Shi Tianzun led Dump Chen, Ming Xuan, Jin Yuan, Xuanji and Lu Jiu into the entrance, and their positions were next to the Zhengbin seat.
The guests have arrived, and the Taishang Laojun will make an opening speech. Then the deacon led the Xuandu Taoist people to enter, and Xuandu stood in the center of the field and saluted the visitors one by one.
Then there is the worship ceremony, but Taishang Laojun has no teacher, and there is no tablet on the incense case. However, Taishang also has a way, the incense platform is standing against the wall, there are incense burners and flowers and fruits on the platform, and there is a picture hanging on the wall, but only a big "Dao" word is written on the picture.
The Taoist once asked Hongjun Lao Zu if he would like to establish a religion, and Hongjun replied that he would not establish a religion, but he proposed a "Xuanmen" name, and Taishang Laojun used "Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders" as an explanation. Now that Xuandu has entered, Taishang Laojun wrote a word "Dao" to express the heart of the Dao.
Taishang Laojun walked to the front of the stage and took incense to worship. Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Dao people stood on either side of him, slightly back, and then behind them were Xuandu Dao people. At this time, Donghua and the others also got up one after another, and also saluted the word "Dao" to show respect.
Then the immortals were reinstated, and Taishang Laojun walked in front of Xuandu, and beside him, there was a Taoist boy standing there. This Dao Tong was holding a jade plate in his hand, with three things on it, namely a Dao crown, a Dao robe, and a dust.
Next, it's time for the ordination ceremony.
Taishang Laojun looked at Xuandu and said first: "Do nothing, act weakly, guard the female, don't move first." ”
Xuandu Taoist worshipped: "Disciple remember. ”
Taishang Laojun said again: "Do nameless, walk quietly, and do all good." ”
The Xuandu Daoist bowed again: "Disciple remember. ”
Taishang Laojun said again: "There is no desire to do it, it is enough to know it, and it is pushing." ”
The Xuandu Taoist bowed again: "Disciple remember. ”
After the ceremony of three bows and nine bows was over, Taishang Laojun stepped forward and said to Xuandu: "Xuandu, with this robe, you will officially enter my door." Since your name is Xuandu, then the poor road will give you the name of the law, which is also Xuandu. I hope you understand the meaning. ...... Xuandu Daoist, please get up and accept clothes. ”
After the Xuandu Daoist got up, two Dao boys walked forward from the side. They took over the Dao crown and Dao robe from Taishang Laojun respectively, and then led the Xuandu Daoist into the side hall and dressed them neatly. After the clothes were neat, the two boys led Xuandu into the main hall, Xuandu still returned to its original position, and the two boys retreated to the side.
The precepts spoken by Lao Jun are divided into three classes. Do nothing, act weakly, guard the female, don't move first, the most three lines on this. Walking namelessly, walking quietly, and doing all good, the third of these lines. There is no desire to do it, the line knows to stop, and the line pushes and lets, the most three lines.
Those who prepare for the nine elements are immortals, those who prepare for the six elements are longevity, and those who prepare for the three elements increase their years.
And if you want to cultivate immortals and become enlightened, you must have all nine elements. As long as any one of them does not match, then you will not be able to achieve success, and even immortality is hopeless, at most you can learn some magic and magical powers, and you will be rich and rich in the world.
Therefore, in the following generations of Taoism, the entry to the nine elements of the precepts began with this, and then there were the rules of each sect.
And these nine precepts are also known as the "Lao Jun Xianger Precepts".
