Chapter 953 Heavenly Lantern
Fangzheng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, when I go back, I'll settle the score with this salted fish! Heh heh..."
At this moment, the Qingjing Sanren outside heard the movement here, came over, and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"
It was the first time that Fangzheng saw how the Taoist priests celebrated the festival, and he was also a little curious, so he opened the door and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk saw that the real person was busy, and then he remembered that today is the Xiayuan Festival. May I ask, what can the poor monk do to help you?" Is it?"
Hearing this, Qingjing Sanren smiled and said: "There are not many things, but the mage is really willing to help. You can bring some sacrificial supplies for the poor Taoist. It's in the back kitchen."
Lone Wolf didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, but when he heard that he was going to get it from the back kitchen, he suddenly regained his energy, and quickly looked at Fang Zheng, fearing that Fang Zheng would refuse.
Fortunately, Fangzheng really wanted to help, and at the same time, he was a little curious about how much food was in the kitchen. So Fangzheng nodded and said: "The poor monk has passed."
After speaking, he took the lone wolf to the kitchen at the back, while Qingjing Sanren was busy with other things. As soon as he entered the kitchen, Fangzheng was also stunned. There were nine plates on the chopping board in the kitchen, and each plate contained pastries of different shapes, but these pastries were all in the shape of plants. One is meat or animal, so it can be seen that Qingjing Sanren is a vegetarian, even if it uses pasta to imitate meat, he will not eat.
Seeing this, Fangzheng had to shake his head and said, "This is really a serious Taoist, better than the poor monk."
The lone wolf didn't care about that, he stood up, put his paws on the chopping board, looked at the food on it, licked his lips and asked, "Master, can she tell if you tell me to eat something?"
Fangzheng glared at him immediately, telling him not to act recklessly, and said, "People trust us and let us help with the things, so don't be reckless."
The lone wolf grinned and said, "I'm just saying..." But those little eyes make it clear, if you nod, none of these pastries can walk out of the kitchen in one piece today!
Faced with Fang Zheng's insistence, Lone Wolf could only bear with it...
When Fangzheng and Lone Wolf moved the pastry out, Qingjing Sanren had already placed other items on the altar table, such as candles, incense burner and so on.
Following Fangzheng's arrival, he put these pastries on it as well, and Fangzheng, a pure and clean practitioner, smiled and said, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, and then welcome the water officer to come to the world."
After finishing speaking, Qingjing Sanren left. Lone Wolf looked over and asked, "Master, she is going to take a bath. Aren't you going?"
Fangzheng gave him a blank look, Fangzheng really wanted to go, but if he did, he would probably be struck by lightning and grilled. At worst, you will be so drawn by a big ear photon that you can't tell the difference between south, east and north.
Shaking his head, Fangzheng waited obediently in the yard.
About half an hour later, there was a sound of gentle footsteps, Fang Zheng turned around and looked, his eyes lit up immediately!
I saw that Qingjing Sanren actually changed into a gorgeous purple Taoist robe! Baoxiang was solemn, walking slowly, every step seemed to be well-designed, every step was neither too fast nor too slow, neither big nor small, just right. At this moment, the aura exuded by Qingjing Sanren is really like a fairy, people can't help but take a second look, but they won't have other bad thoughts.
Fangzheng knew that the color of Taoist gowns represented many layers of meaning, and they were not worn indiscriminately. Generally, when doing chores, they wear sea-blue Taoist robes, which are thick and wear-resistant. He usually wears a cyan Taoist robe, which symbolizes the oriental dragon, and the cyan dragon rules the east, and the five elements belong to wood. Cyan also represents the successor of the Taoist ancestor Donghua Dijun school.
But yellow and purple can only be worn by the abbot and the master of the Taoist temple. Ordinary Taoist priests can only wear them on major festivals. Moreover, it must be a Taoist priest who has received precepts, and ordinary Taoist priests are absolutely not allowed.
Qingjing Sanren is the abbot of this Taoist temple, so it's okay to wear purple Taoist robes. The only thing that puzzled Fangzheng was that this robe was too gorgeous!
Looking carefully, there are golden threads on the purple Taoist robe! I don't know if it's true. But whether it's true or not, Fangzheng knows that this robe is definitely not cheap! If Fangzheng was in the same situation, he wouldn't even be able to buy a sleeve if he sold One Finger Temple!
Thinking about the ingredients used in those exquisite pastries, Fangzheng is sure that the delicious taste is definitely not only due to the craftsmanship, the ingredients must also be exquisite! Moreover, a woman who manages such a large Taoist temple can still have so much food, such a good Taoist robe, such a good purple clay pot...
And Qingjing Sanren said that she entered this Taoist temple after learning from the master of Nantian Taoist temple. Later, the master of Nantian Taoist temple became immortal, and this place became hers. Later, she hired someone to spend a few years renovating the Taoist temple...
Fangzheng is not an idiot. It costs 18,000 or even 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to renovate an ordinary house in the countryside, and it is even more expensive in big cities. But is it too expensive to renovate ancient buildings? This was polished and repaired bit by bit.
How much should I pay for such a craftsman?
The more Fangzheng thought about it, the more Fangzheng felt that he might have been wrong before, and that the pure and undisciplined people were completely different from him! People must have a lot of money before they become monks! Even now, he is not a master who is short of money! This is not a poor girl in the valley, this is a local rich woman in the valley!
These thoughts flashed randomly in my mind. At this time, Qingjing Sanren had already arrived at the altar, took up three sky lanterns and handed them to Fang Zhengdao: "I also ask the mage to help the poor Taoist to hang the lanterns on the flagpole at the entrance."
Fangzheng nodded and went to do it immediately.
As the lantern was raised, the Qingjing Sanren counted with his fingers, suddenly looked at the sky solemnly, and said majesticly: "The auspicious time has come, respectfully invite the water officer to come down to earth!"
Then Qingjing Sanren began to do things, such as seven-star step, mahogany sword, etc...
Fangzheng watched quietly from the side. With the actions of a pure and undisciplined person, he could understand some of them, and some of them he couldn't understand at all. But he understood one thing, this is a whole set of sacrifices and god-worship methods.
About an hour later, Qingjing Sanren stopped, respectfully took three sticks of incense, and then retreated respectfully. Turning around, Fangzheng saw that her forehead was already dripping with sweat, and her face was flushed. It was obvious that the set of rituals just now After doing it, I was very tired.
Fangzheng subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it over, saying, "Really, wipe off your sweat."
Qingjing Sanren looked at Fangzheng's handkerchief, and was obviously stunned for a moment. A unique emotion flashed in his clear eyes. Then Fangzheng smiled gently, nodded slightly, took it and said, "Thank you mage."
Then Qingjing Sanren wiped off his fragrant sweat, returned the handkerchief to Fangzheng, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the mage to carry a handkerchief with him. In this era, there are not many people who use this."
Fangzheng blushed, not to mention not many people would use this thing a few years earlier. Fangzheng used this handkerchief when he was a child, and it was specially made by Zen Master Yizhi to take care of him.
