Chapter 239: Grandmaster's Blessing
After the statue of a god is built, a consecration ceremony must be held, that is, a consecration ceremony is held. Through the ceremony, the heaven and earth are informed, and the boundless aura of heaven and earth is injected into the statue to make the statue spiritual. Only then can the god be officially invited to the temple to protect the water and soil. , bless the people of one side.
Otherwise, a statue of a god that has not undergone a consecration ceremony is just a clay figure, like a work of art. If it is discarded at will, it will be possessed by some demons and monsters. If it is worshiped by ignorant people, it will become an evil god and mislead all living beings.
Therefore, when the golden statue is replaced, the ceremony is solemn and respectful. For the golden statue of the ancestor, the master of Dedao Temple personally presides over the ceremony, and the believers are invited to watch the ceremony to show their solemnity.
The auspicious time for the consecration arrived, and there was silence in the main hall.
Taoist Chi Yuan is wearing a sacred robe with various auspicious Taoist patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads. He wears a dharma hat and is flanked by Taoists wearing yellow robes.
In the middle of the hall, a new golden statue has been put up, covered with red cloth, and connected to the statues next to it with a red thread, leading to two flagpoles outside the hall door, and the heads are connected one after another to form a whole.
There was a chair placed in the middle of the flagpole at the palace gate. Wuwei held a mirror close to the red line. The mirror faced the palace gate. At the palace gate stood Qingming and an old Taoist named Qingxin, each holding a mirror in their hands. Qingxin is responsible for receiving the light from the mirror outside the temple door, and Qingming is responsible for projecting this refracted light onto the new statue.
This is consecration.
It is to guide the light of the sun, moon and stars in the nature of heaven and earth into the temple, so that the statues can inherit the aura of heaven and earth and create the welfare of all people.
Qin Liuxi was also wearing a purple robe, embroidered with gold and silver threads with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and Bagua Pagoda. His hair was pinned with a dharma crown, and his slightly thin face was serious and he stood obediently next to Chi Yuan Lao Dao.
At that time, the hour was right, and there was light. It shined directly on the golden statue covered with red cloth in the hall through the mirror, and the golden light was dazzling.
Chi Yuan Lao Daoist silently recited the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth, and while reciting it, he stepped on the Gang Dan and stepped on the Gang Dan, and then ordered Qin Liuxi: "I would like to ask my disciples not to ask for help. The young master of Qingping Temple can enlighten the Patriarch."
Are you a little bit of a spectator?
Yu Changkong looked at Qin Liuxi, who looked like an immortal, with bright and deep eyes.
The believers who were quietly watching the ceremony in the temple also followed the fingers of the Taoist Chi Yuan. When they saw Qin Liuxi's face clearly, they secretly sighed that the young temple master was so young, much younger than many Taoists in the temple.
Qin Liuxi became the focus of the audience besides the Patriarch, but he did not dare to run. Instead, he obediently took the clean towel handed by Qingyuan, climbed up the ladder, wiped the dust of the golden statue, and then held a needle in the seven orifices of the statue. Touching the hands and feet means enlightenment.
When she was enlightened, Chi Yuan Lao Taoist held the token and struck it, chanting: "God opened 3,600 bone joints, 84,000 hairy orifices, the joints are connected, and the orifices are connected. After the consecration, the gods are all invincible, Ten thousand rays of light illuminate all living beings in the world.”
While he was talking, Qin Liuxi took the brush presented by Qingyuan and tapped it on his eyes, ears and nose to send spiritual energy. After that, he took off the red cloth and thread.
A flash of inspiration entered the divine womb.
At that time, the golden light flourished, and the originally ordinary statue of the Patriarch was suddenly endowed with spiritual energy, becoming vivid and spiritual, and his smile became fuller.
"Ancestor, the ancestor has appeared!" Someone couldn't help shouting after the golden light flashed, and then knelt down.
All the believers knelt down and murmured something.
Qin Liuxi folded the red cloth and silk thread and put it aside on the altar table. He looked at the grinning Patriarch again and held back his sneer. With the blessing of the golden body, his grin reached behind his ears. It was so unrealistic.
Grandmaster: Now that I have a golden body, I will not care about you like a traitor, just bear with her.
After the consecration was completed, the bells and drums rang in unison, as if there was fairy music swirling around the beams.
Qin Liuxi looked with his hands behind his back. The whole hall was full of believers kneeling on the altar, with their hands clasped together, sometimes silently, sometimes bowing their heads, reciting scriptures with solemn and pious expressions.
While looking down, everything in the world is like blue smoke, and everything you ask for will come true.
Yu Changkong also bowed his head and prayed. He only hoped that his parents could be reunited.
At this point, the consecration ceremony was completed. Qingyuan said with a smile: "Dear believers, there are medicinal tea and porridge outside the hall. You can go and drink a bowl to soak up the divine light and avoid all kinds of diseases. In addition, I would like to invite a protective plaque or small statue. Those who want to go back to worship can come to Pindao."
He was referring to the row of small statues and protective plaques in front of the Patriarch. They were all stained with spiritual energy, and some believers would invite them back to worship them.
Yu Qiucai was the first to rush to Qin Liuxi, smiled and bowed his hands in congratulations.
"I didn't expect Mr. Yu to be free to watch the ceremony." Qin Liuxi smiled and returned the salute.
Yu Qiucai said: "When I learned that Guiguan had exchanged the gold statue, my wife told me to come every day on the right day. As you know, my wife is pregnant with Liujia and will give birth soon. I want to ask for this red cloth and go back. A small statue can keep the home safe and the mother and child safe.”
"You have a god in your heart, and all the gods are there. Please come." Qin Liuxi greeted Qingyuan with a smile and asked him to give the folded red cloth to Yu Qiucai.
Yu Qiucai was also very sensible. Several silver notes of one hundred taels were dropped into the sesame oil box and he carefully took the statue.
"My lord, when you go back, you can pay tribute to agarwood, clouds, and benzoin." Qin Liuxi reminded.
"Okay, okay."
Yu Qiucai whispered again: "The old friend I mentioned last time may come to invite you again. By then... they really have no choice. The girl is a little confused."
Qin Liuxi said: "For your sake, if I have time, I can take a trip."
"That would be great." Yu Qiucai breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, and saluted with Taoist Chi Yuan before saying goodbye and leaving.
He was busy with official duties, and came to watch the ceremony because his wife urged him to do so. In addition, he also attached great importance to it, and there was also a request from the Shen family, so he came in person. Now that the matter is over, naturally he will not stay for long.
Yu Qiucai asked for the red cloth and someone else asked for the red thread. After all, the objects that have been blessed are spiritual, and it is appropriate to ask for it to be taken away for safety. Qingyuan cut a few sections and let the believers tie them on their hands or hair.
Yu Changkong asked for a mirror and left.
"I thought you would ask for a small statue of the ancestor." Qin Liuxi chuckled.
Yu Changkong said: "The clan believes in Buddhism more, but I have Taoism in my heart."
"Great kindness." Qin Liuxi handed him the mirror, took a section of red string and tied it around his wrist, saying: "You donated the golden body and tied it to the merits, and the ancestor will bless you with a safe journey."
Yu Changkong looked at the red string in his hand, his eyes bright: "You also know that I am leaving."
Qin Liuxi raised his chin slightly: "I can read your face, and I can't see your face completely, but I can always see some recent ones, so I can naturally see that you will go on a long journey."
"What about my grandfather's illness?"
"Don't worry, there are no mourners in the hall."
Yu Changkong sighed, was silent for a moment, and said: "I will leave tomorrow. How should I use my eyes in the future? Can you teach me the secret?"
"Okay..."
"Hey, I don't ask for the young master, you can also tie a safety line for this prince!" A hand suddenly came in front of Qin Liuxi.
I wish you all a happy new year, a prosperous family, this year is better than the previous year, and everything goes well! ! !
Today I will only update one of the 2,000 words. With the blessing of the ancestors, I wish to have a happy new year and let the divine light shine upon us. May all evils not dare to approach us.
PS: Zha Mo believes in science. Everything in the article is a plot setting. I dare not define it as Zha Mo's three views.
PS again: I will only write about the ceremony of opening the light and offering sacrifices once. I will skip it in the future to avoid the reading feeling being too cumbersome. I have simplified the ceremony and dare not add words (OK, I know that you are members for free, so I will just take a quick look. After all, I just searched for information and read it by the way. It's not a loss to read it.)
Then, go to pay New Year's greetings and ask for red envelopes. The best time to spend money is in the fifteen days of the New Year, hahahaha! ! !
As a Guangdong silver, I am only worthy of 5, 10, 20 yuan per packet. What about you?
