The heavens start from Maoshan

It’s just that it’s not so easy to practice Taoism. Master Xu took out the Buddhist scriptures from the bedside and said, “This is Maoshan’s Ode to the Pure Altar. Take it home and memorize it first, if you can’t memorize it within seven days, you won’t be used to see me in the future.”

In some novels, it is unrealistic to learn Taoism and magic after being apprenticed to the ninth uncle.

This is the same as going to school. If the teacher doesn't teach 1+1=2, he will throw you a calculus book when you come up. Can you understand it?

Take the opening sentence of the Song of the Pure Altar for example.

Fire the furnace to pray for true blessings, feel the sages in the heart, reverently bow to the treasure repentance, and wish for a long life.

What is Mayu?

Who are the sages, and how do they sense it?

What is the treasure repentance?

do you understand?

Let's talk about painting.

How to open the talisman, why it is so open, what is the meaning.

The talisman writes the name of the god, who is the god written, and what congratulatory message should be recited when writing it, the immortal god will respond. If you have memorized the congratulatory message, you can draw the talisman. If you make a mistake, you can’t hear it in the sky. Symbols are useless.

Jiu Shu painted the talisman in one go, that was to the point where the ghosts and spirits were shocked.

Ordinary Taoist priests, especially beginners, have to bathe and burn incense before drawing a talisman. One or two sticks of incense sticks may not be enough to draw a talisman.

Normally.

The disciples of Sanshan Authentic should have three years of morning classes with Master, two years of Taoist scriptures and Taoist terminology, and some taboos and common sense before they can come into contact with Talismans.

It's like an adult college entrance exam.

First of all you have to know, nothing will let you go to college.

"Master..."

"Stop, don't call Master, it's too early."

As soon as Zhang Heng opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xu Zhenren.

Zhang Heng didn't take it seriously, and continued: "Master, what if I could memorize the Song of the Pure Altar?"

Seeing how thick-skinned Zhang Heng was, he could not refute his master again and again, so he could only answer: "Where is this? Maojun Sutra, Nine Heavens and Three Mao Siming Xiandengyi Sutra, Taishang Wuji Zongzhen Wenchang Dadong Immortal Sutra, Shangqing Dadong Sutra, Duren Sutra, Gaoshang Jade Emperor's Collection Sutra, Huangting Interior Sutra, and Exterior Sutra. ..”

In one breath, Xu Zhenren said more than [-] names.

Zhang Heng felt his scalp go numb, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you have to memorize these?"

"Of course you have to memorize it, otherwise what did you learn?"

Xu Zhenren pointed out: "Take Zhou's Ming Tong Ji as an example, it is written about the passage of seclusion and the underworld. As a Taoist priest, you must deal with ghosts, gods, and emissaries. What should you do if you lose your etiquette?"

"There is also the record of nourishing nature and prolonging life, which is..."

Xu Zhenren paused: "This is for life extension, which is very hurtful. You don't need to carry it for the time being. You won't be able to use it now anyway."

"Others, like Tao Te Ching, Bao Pu Zi, Sitting Forgetting Classics, Yin Fu Jing, Deng Zhen Hidden Secret Art, all have corresponding spells and supernatural powers. How can you master them if you don't learn them?"

Seeing Zhang Heng's bitter face, Zhenren Xu laughed: "Now you know how difficult it is to learn Dao? Dao, it's not something you can cultivate by touching your upper lip to your lower lip. Good luck to you, Master, I am a direct descendant of Maoshan, others think Looking at these Taoist books, there is no such good fortune yet."

As soon as he was happy, Xu Zhenren even recognized his master's name.

As soon as Zhang Heng heard it, he was still waiting for the New Year.

Immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Master, for teaching the Fa!"

Xu Zhenren was stunned for a moment, his face changed for a while, and he hummed: "You are smart, get up."

Chapter No.16: Money is everything

"Junior Brother, I used to persuade you to accept an apprentice. If you have something to do with your apprentice, it's still too early for you to shirk, saying that there are not so many people living in Yizhuang."

"What's wrong this time? You suddenly want to accept apprentices and ask me to be a witness. Are you rich, or have you changed your mind, not like your style?"

Inside Yizhuang.

A middle-aged man with a fat body and a wide body, wearing a Xuanhuang Taoist uniform with gossip on his forehead, sat on the only chair in Yizhuang.

This person's surname is Qian Mingkai, and it is Xu You, Xu Zhenren's senior brother.

"Senior brother, isn't this a coincidence?"

"Three days ago, a wealthy young master came to apprentice, and I was talking about it for a while, but he recognized it, which made me very helpless!"

Xu Zhenren stood aside and sighed: "Now this kid doesn't even know the ode to the altar by heart. I don't know if he can persevere in the future. Isn't he blaming himself for admitting his master-disciple status?"

Maoshan attaches great importance to inheritance, and the status of master and apprentice cannot be recognized indiscriminately.

If you admit it, a master has to manage for a lifetime. If the middle path collapses, he will help find a good family in the next life. If he is determined to cultivate the Tao, he will have to lead him back.

Therefore, in the Maoshan lineage, master and apprentice are actually not much different from father and son.

If the apprentice is pitted, you have to bear it yourself, help wipe your ass around, and you will not be expelled from the master unless it is too serious.

Why is this happening, because after the disciples of Maoshan become naturalized, the famous post will be burned to the patriarch of the upper realm, and the disciples who are expelled will also be burned.

It's not that I made a big mistake of anger and resentment, and I have the nerve to alarm the ancestors.

Are there any mistakes made by the Maoshan disciples?

Yes, but very few, or even a handful, are expelled from the door.

If you make a mistake, even if you are killed, you will not be easily expelled from the door.

Instead, reincarnate in the next life, or repay the debt in the underworld.

The talismans of the three mountains are connected with the same breath, and the same is true of the other two mountains.

As long as you are a disciple of Sanshan, you are on the list, and if you can't ascend to the immortal, you will be listed in the immortal class.

After death, he will also act as a yin god "Yin Guan" in the underworld, and transfer to ghost fairy.

Of course, if you want to reincarnate, you can continue to practice Taoism in the next life, and the sect will bring them back again.

Those who do not want to practice Taoism will also give a lifetime of wealth and glory.

This is the advantage of the big sect, there are people above, and there are people below.

The mortal world is the Dao, the heaven is the immortal, and the yin god after death, there are still people to save you if you are half-dead.

If anyone bullies you, if they can't beat you, they will call you senior brother.

Not yet, there are ancestors on the mountain, you can also ask to come down the mountain.

Maoshan is in the line of Shangqing, and there is nothing else, that is, protecting the calf.

When you are young, you are old. Why is Maoshan's magic trick so powerful, because Maoshan's lineage really protects its own cubs.

The so-called: A decree can lead to the Jade Palace, and the ancestors of the immortals can invite them to come down to the mortal world.

"Master of the rich family, very rich?"

Qian Kai was not interested in anything else, except for the yellow and white things that he couldn't put down.

As soon as he heard that the disciple that the junior brother accepted was very rich, the others immediately ignored it, and his eyes flashed green.

"The meeting gift was a 30-year-old wild ginseng, and he said it was 30 years old. Looking back, I'm afraid it must be 40 years old."

What Xu Zhenren said was an understatement.

"40 years old ginseng!"

Qian Kai swallowed and spit: "That can't be thousands of oceans?"

Hiss repeatedly...

Before I could go on, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.

Xu Zhenren was not surprised and said, "My cheap apprentice is here."

"where?"

Qian Kai looked out and saw a group of people riding on horses, majestic.

The leader is a man in a white robe and mandarin jacket. He looks like he is in his 20s, and he is even more like a star.

"Junior brother, if you don't look down on this apprentice, why don't you give it to me?"

Money is open to money.

He hadn't seen the ginseng, but he had seen Zhang Heng and his party.

A clear spear, a strong man, and a tall horse, ordinary people can't afford this.

This is an apprentice, it is clearly a walking God of Wealth, and I have to go home and offer it up as soon as possible.

"You are really my senior brother. When the master gave us names from divination, the copper coins have been split three times in a row. It's really accurate!"

Xu Zhenren had a helpless expression on his face, he had become accustomed to his brother's behavior over the years.

"Master."

Zhang Heng brought Zhang Dadan to the door.

"This is your uncle, Qian Kai, Qian Zhenren."

Xu Zhenren gave Zhang Heng an introduction, and then looked at a young Taoist priest standing behind Qian Kai, who was seventeen or eighteen years old: "That's your uncle's disciple, Qian Shui, you should be called senior brother."

"Zhang Heng has met Uncle, Senior Brother."

Zhang Heng saluted the two of them.

Qian Kai, Qian Zhenren, and Zhang Heng are no strangers.

Because in his preparation, if he couldn't apprentice Xu Zhenren, he would take a generous amount of money for apprenticeship.

Thinking about it, as long as the gift is thick enough, this real person who sees money with open eyes will never care about multiple apprentices, but whether he will teach him well is another matter.

As for Qian Shui, the disciple behind Qian Kai.

He doesn't know much. In the plot, this disciple is often beaten and scolded by Qian Kai, and he will play tricks on his master secretly. There are not many scenes.

"Good seedling, really good seedling!"

Qian Kai became more and more satisfied with Zhang Heng.

As for the good thing, having money is all the best, and having no money is all the more difficult.

"I am sent to receive disciples from Maoshan, so of course I must have a witness."

"Today, your uncle is a witness, and heaven and earth are a mirror. Let me ask you one last question, would you like to join Maoshan?"

Xu Zhenzhen asked with a serious face.

"The disciple is willing."

Zhang Heng couldn't refuse to agree, because if he hadn't made a clever move, he would have to wait until he had memorized more than a dozen Taoist scriptures before he could decide on a master-disciple status and follow Xu Zhenren to practice Taoism.

"You have to think carefully."

Xu Zhenren warned: "Although I do not avoid marriage, I have a problem with Maoshan's invitation to the gods. After you enter the Dao, you will practice a kind of Cynomorium secret technique. Before the secret technique is completed, you may not be able to have children. ."

Qian Zhenren was hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say.

Without waiting for him to speak, Zhenren Xu hurriedly gestured with his eyes and pressed back what he wanted to say.

"Master."

Zhang Heng didn't see the eye contact between the two, so he just replied with his heart: "The disciple is dedicated to cultivating the Tao, and only hopes to ascend to immortality as soon as possible. It is never my desire to have more children and more grandchildren. I also ask Master to learn from him."

Zhang Heng answered willingly.

Because he couldn't imagine what it would be like to drag his family and bring his mouth to cultivate immortals.

You must know that he cultivated the Dao for the sake of longevity.

Until this goal is achieved, the affairs of the children can be put aside.

Besides, it's just that there are no children, but it's not that he can't break his body, and he has to be a eunuch for a lifetime.

It's no big deal to have no children. In reality, there are so many people who don't want children, and they all live happily.

"it is good."

Xu Zhenren said no more, and began to enter the topic: "I boiled the water in the backyard and prepared a robe for you, you can go to bathe and change."
