The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

It's not that Yang Heng and Mrs. Jin have a good understanding. It's because the Golden Bodhisattva in Mrs. Jin's arms is also Yang Heng's avatar. Yang Heng can also know the every move of Mrs. Jin through the Golden Bodhisattva.

So now Yang Heng stood in the yard and looked at the red-crowned crane going away, wondering what he was thinking.

And Er Ya looked at Yang Heng as if he was out of his mind, and said dissatisfied: "What's the matter, I just went back, and you are still thinking about it here, or I will invite you back."

Yang Heng shook his head, and then said to Er Ya: "There is no need to do this, she has already left."

"Gone, what's gone?" After Erya asked, she immediately seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, could it be that vixen left?

"Daoist, you mean that Mrs. Jin has left?" Er Ya asked uncertainly.

Yang Heng nodded, and then said with a smile: "Her business is done, so she will go home naturally."

"Didn't she get kicked out by her husband's family? Where is there a home?"

Yang Heng shook his head and didn't explain anymore.

"Erya, I've decided to formally accept you in three days. You should prepare in the next few days."

When Er Ya heard that Yang Heng was going to formally accept her as an apprentice, she immediately showed surprise.

She had been waiting for this day for nearly a year, and now she was finally going to get her wish.

Yang Heng saw that she was so happy that she was silly, coughed hurriedly, and then instructed: "Bath and change clothes for the next two days, and then stop eating meat, just be a vegetarian."

After listening to Yang Heng's instructions, Erya nodded hastily.

But at noon, Yang Heng knew what it was to be in a cocoon.

Because at noon, Erya didn't cook any meat dishes at all, but just fried two vegetables, and didn't even prepare tofu.

Yang Heng looked at the green and white lunch in front of him, and felt that he couldn't eat it.

"Erya, fry a plate of pork head meat for me."

Erya raised her eyes from her rice bowl, looked at Yang Heng, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Aren't we vegetarians these two days?"

"Who and you are us, I'm talking about you being a vegetarian, what does it have to do with me?"

But Erya disagreed with Yang Heng's opinion.

"I think you are going to preside over the ceremony soon. If you still eat meat for such a big ceremony, will you be disrespectful to the gods? If you are disrespectful to the gods, will there be any problems with the ceremony you preside over? You can't Because I was greedy for meat for a while, it ruined my bright future."

When talking about this, Erya still looked at Yang Heng with eyes like looking at a villain.

Yang Heng really had no choice but to say dejectedly, "Okay, okay, I'll be a vegetarian from now on."

When it came to this, Yang Heng still didn't take it seriously, thinking that you won't let me eat it, and I won't go out to buy it.

But his thoughts were quickly seen through by Erya, "To prevent you from going out to steal meat, Taoist priest, you must not leave the Taoist temple from today on."

"Heaven and Earth Conscience, I am the head of your family, I am an honest and reliable young man, how could I do such a thing?"

"I don't know if it's reliable, but Daoist Master, you have lied once or twice. May I point it out to you one by one?"

Yang Heng raised his head, seeing Er Ya's eager expression, he immediately became wilted.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you this time. Eating vegetables in this Taoist temple is eating steamed buns."

Erya looked at Yang Heng's dejected look, and knew that he couldn't force him anymore, and wanted to give him some sweet grass to eat.

"Don't be angry, Daoist. After I formally start, as a junior sister, I will definitely prepare a banquet for my senior brother."

Yang Heng's eyes lit up after hearing this. Erya's cooking skills are really good. Although it can't compare with those modern chefs, but just cooking home-cooked dishes, in the ancient times without MSG, it was really good. Not bad.

"Okay, that's the deal, but you pay for the money yourself, you can't ask me for it."

Erya patted her chest again and again, "Don't worry, I still have this little money."

Then, from this day on, Yang Heng stayed in the Taoist temple, because he couldn't do anything if he wanted to go out, Erya watched him closely.

In addition, the straw figure on Yang Heng's altar was also destroyed by Mrs. Jin, so the altar behind was also withdrawn by Yang Heng.

Now he has nothing to do, he just stands next to the statue of Sanqing in a daze every day, answering the believers' questions one after another.

On the morning of the third day, Erya got up early and put on the silk Taoist robe she had prepared long ago.

This Taoist robe was bought by Yang Heng in modern times, and it was specially given to Erya as an introduction gift.

Erya put on her clothes, looked left and right, she was very satisfied, she felt that today's Taoist robe suits her very well.

But after she went out, she found that the door of Yang Heng's room was still closed, and it seemed that she hadn't gotten up yet.

Er Ya frowned, how can this work?Today is my big day, so I can't delay it because of the laziness of my senior brother (I don't call him Daochang anymore, Er Ya thinks she will be Yang Heng's junior sister from now on).

So Er Ya came to the door and kicked the door vigorously with her feet, "Brother, open the door, the sun is shining on your ass."

Yang Heng was a late sleeper, but now he was woken up by Er Yayi, and his face was full of anger.

"What's the noise? It's just dawn, so you can't let me sleep for a while?"

"It's just dawn. It's cloudy today. Hurry up and get up, or you'll be delayed. It's auspicious time."

Yang Heng had no choice but to throw off the quilt and put on a Taoist robe, and then reluctantly opened the door.

But when he opened the door, Yang Heng found that the person standing in front of him was no longer the lively little girl, but a pretty little Taoist nun in Taoist robes.

Erya, who was wearing a Taoist robe, seemed to be much quieter, and she already had the appearance of a Taoist priest. It seemed that she had been stealing lessons from herself during this time.

"Hmm," Yang Heng coughed, then straightened his Taoist robe, and said to Erya who was standing outside: "Let's prepare breakfast, and we can start the ceremony after eating."

Erya was waiting for Yang Heng's words, and then she rushed to the kitchen, and after a while, four or five small dishes were already set on the stone table.

Yang Heng walked slowly to the stone table, sat down and began to eat slowly.

I don't know what happened today, Erya felt that she was not very hungry, she felt full after only a few mouthfuls, so she put down the bowl and chopsticks, and waited for Yang Heng who was opposite to finish eating quickly.

However, Yang Heng seemed to be against her. After almost half an hour after eating a bowl of rice, Erya still didn't finish it. Erya finally got a little anxious.

"How long will you eat this meal?"

Yang Heng glanced at Erya, put the bowl on the table, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth, then said: "What's the hurry? The ceremony will take several days from today, don't care In a while."

But Erya didn't answer Yang Heng's words. Seeing him put down the bowl and chopsticks, she was afraid that Yang Heng would continue to eat, so she put away the bowl directly, and then took everything back to the kitchen.

After it was over, Erya stood in front of Yang Heng again, staring at Yang Heng with her big eyes.

Yang Heng had no choice but to stand up, patted the non-existent dirt on his body, and said to Erya, "Since you are in such a hurry, let's start."

As soon as Yang Heng finished speaking, Erya immediately became amiable, and then stepped forward to pat the dust on Yang Heng's body like a dog's leg, and then smiled flatteringly at him.

Yang Heng was very satisfied with her performance. After nodding his head, he walked ahead proudly, and Erya followed closely behind like a little tail.

But as soon as they entered the Sanqing Hall, they immediately became serious.

Especially Yang Heng, now with a calm complexion and a serene demeanor, he can be seen as a good scholar.

Chapter 142

Conferring talismans, this is the most critical step for an ordinary person to become a Taoist priest.

It is recorded in "Seven Signs of Yunji · Secret Essentials Jue · Mingzheng Yilu": "The one who writes the talisman, three days of wonderful qi, the gods of the ten directions, the name of a spiritual official, and practice with those who follow the Tao."

Granting books is to pass on secret books and texts such as the secrets and names of the immortal officials from heaven to the Taoists, so that the Taoists can practice.

Through conferring talismans, Taoists can use this as a way to cultivate the truth and a flight ladder to ascend to the truth, accumulate practice merits in the world, and finally become one of the gods and spirit officials of the fairy palace.

Therefore, "Lu" is the standard to guide people's practice, and it also provides a clear proof of the immortal status obtained by Zhengyi after surpassing the three realms.Therefore, Taoism teaching talismans is an extremely solemn religious ceremony, and the concept of living in the world is the concentrated expression of the religious spirit of Taoism.

In addition to these, there is another unexpected benefit of granting a talisman, that is, it can directly give you an official from the fairy world. Although this official does not know whether it is true or not, he at least has a thought.

The Daoist scriptures say, "There is no place in life, and death is a ghost."That is to say, there should be a position of Taoism in life, that is, a position of priesthood for practicing Taoism, so that after death, there will be a way to ascend and not become a ghost.

That is to say, after granting the talisman, we will have a Taoist position, a title and position in the Immortal Palace, and through our practice, we will finally become real and immortal, returning to that place.

But then again, how many Taoist priests can there be on the earth since ancient times, if these people become immortals in the end, I am afraid that the fairy palace will not be crowded.

According to Yang Heng's thinking, the best thing about these conferrings is that there is a convenient channel, after the completion of the practice, you can be promoted very smoothly, instead of going through many hardships like those wild cultivators.

Yang Heng brought Erya to the Sanqing Hall, first they put incense on the Patriarch of the Sanqing together, and then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

After this was over, Yang Heng sat on the chair next to the altar.

Today, Yang Heng is the teacher of Erya who passed on the scriptures.

In the past few days, Erya has already memorized all the rituals and essentials that Yang Heng gave her.

Now seeing Yang Heng sitting there, he hurriedly took a cup of tea from the side of the altar.

Then he came to Yang Heng, knelt down on his knees, and raised the tea in his hand to Yang Heng.

After Yang Heng took the teacup, he didn't drink it, but paused in front of his chest, and then put it on the altar beside him.

This step is called "thinking tea", which means thinking and deliberating.

Then Erya stood up again to take the second cup of tea, knelt down in front of Yang Heng again, and held it high.

Yang Heng took the teacup this time, took a sip, and put it on the altar table next to him again.

This time it is called "Guo Cha", which means a mage, who has agreed to accept disciples.

Then Erya hurriedly brought the third cup of tea, and knelt in front of Yang Heng for the third time.

Yang Heng took the teacup for the third time, and dipped his middle finger and thumb in tea on Erya's body. This third time was called "Tea Faith", implying that he would believe in Taoism from then on.

Up to now, Erya can be considered to have entered the lineage of the modern Sanqing Temple, and she can be regarded as the younger sister of Yang Heng's cheap master Qingxu Laodao on his behalf. However, the modern Qingxu Laodao will not hear of this matter. .

After this comes the real consecration.

This time Yang Heng took Erya to kneel in the middle of the Sanqing Hall again, while Yang Heng stood beside the altar, brushed with a brush, and wrote a form.

After Yang Heng finished writing, he went back to the altar and knelt down on the ground, silently praying to Patriarch Sanqing.

After praying, Yang Heng took the form, stamped it with his seal, and then burned it on a candle not far away.

What Yang Heng didn't know was that just after his letter was burned, a force came to Dengtian Temple, and the smoke from the letter immediately condensed into a picture that Yang Heng and others looked at. The missing golden inscription disappeared in the Sanqing Hall in an instant and entered an unknown space.

This space is the end of time and space. During this period, there is a consciousness body composed of three golden light groups.

Yang Heng's expression came before the three consciousnesses in an instant, and then the three consciousnesses began to distort slowly, and finally formed three gods in the void.

The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the expression in front of him, then smiled and said, "I am Dao Chengyi."

But the old man with white beard and hair on his right said: "Don't be careless, you need to be careful."

Another middle-aged man with a serious expression nodded, and then said: "You still need to be careful, otherwise the plan of ten thousand years will be ruined in one day."

The one in the middle nodded, and then stretched out a finger to click on the watch, and the watch immediately turned into a ray of light, and returned to Yang Heng's side again. The three patriarchs agreed with Yang Heng's meaning.

But Yang Heng didn't know all this, he stood up again after burning the inscription, and took out a copper seal from his arms.

I saw him holding up the bronze seal high up, and came to Erya.

Erya had known for a long time that Yang Heng would pass on a copper seal to her, so she was full of excitement, and carefully took the copper seal from Yang Hengde.

You must know that she has been coveting Yang Heng's bronze seal for a long time, but Yang Heng watched it very closely at that time, and she couldn't even touch it. Now it's better, and finally she has one.

Then Yang Heng announced to his face that Erya was already a righteous Taoist priest in the main room, and at the same time, Erya was named "the right judge of Wulei Court, a Jinshi selected by Taiji Palace, and the secretary of Lei Tingdu". product.

The copper seal that Yang Heng gave to Erya was specially made by Yang Heng in the county a few days ago to find someone to make it for her.

Afterwards, Yang Heng specially made offerings to the ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty for a few days, and consecrated the copper seal. According to the rules of Taoism, the copper seal has already played a role.

Then Yang Heng took a few more books from the altar and put them in Erya's arms.

"These are precious scriptures. You should study more after you go back, and don't lose my reputation as a teacher."

"Follow your brother's orders."

Now the entire conferring ceremony is over.

After the ceremony was over, Erya immediately recovered her lively personality. Holding a few books in her arms, she tugged at Yang Heng's sleeve and asked.

"Brother, are there any spell books in these books?"

Yang Heng glanced at him, and then said angrily: "What are you thinking? Now you are just a Taoist priest who has just entered the door, and you have no cultivation base at all. How can you use spells? I think that if you have spells, you should concentrate on cultivation. When the time comes, you will naturally There is a magic power to follow."

But Erya was dissatisfied with her, and murmured, "Isn't this a lie?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"You forgot that a few months ago, when you taught me the golden knife sharp scissors method, you also told me that some spells can be used without mana."

Yang Heng rubbed his nose and felt a little guilty. At that time, he was a half-assed person, so what he said was of course made up, but Erya took it seriously.

But for the sake of his glorious image in Er Ya's heart, no matter what he did, he had to get his words back.
