Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 2 Become a member of the Maoshan Sect (please read it~please recommend it~)

The main hall of the Taoist temple is the Taiyuan Palace.

The palace is spacious and bright, with palace lanterns hanging high.

San Mao Zhenjun is worshiped on the central altar.

The four meritorious officials were listed in front of and on the left and right sides of the stage.

On the altars on both sides of the main hall, the four marshals Ma, Wen, Zhao and Yue stood guard with law enforcement weapons in their hands.

There were four people in the main hall.

They are Wang Zhiyuan, Taoist priest of the "Shou" generation, whose Taoist name is "Shou Zhen";
  Li Ping, a Taoist of the "Cong" generation, whose Taoist name is "Clever"; Liu Yun, a Taoist of the "Cong" generation, whose Taoist name is "Congxu";
  The apprentice is Su Heng, a 7 Days convenience store clerk.

The apprenticeship ceremony is now underway.

Wang Zhiyuan studied ink and picked up the pen.

"name."

"Su Heng."

"Bingxu month, Jiaxu day, Jiazi time in the Wuwu year."

"Where do you live now?"

"6B, Building 603, Tai'an Apartment, Jixing Road."

"How many people are in the family?"

"Only me."

"orphan?"

"Well, here's the household registration book."

Wang Zhiyuan finished writing and sighed, folded the text, lit the incense, met the founder of Sanmao first, lit the incense, and performed three rituals and nine kowtows.

The big chime rings six times.

After the ceremony, Wang Zhiyuan took his seat.

Next it was Su Heng's turn.

Light the incense, offer incense to Lord Sanmao, and perform three rites and nine kowtows.

The big chime rings six times.

Finally, he faced Master Wang Zhiyuan and bowed three times.

Wang Zhiyuan said: "Give it up."

Su Heng just stood up.

Wang Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said:

"Given the generation of Xuan, the name Xuanheng."

Su Heng thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the Taoist name."

Wang Zhiyuan stood up.

"Next, let's report to the ancestor."

"My ancestor, the recipient of the Shangqing Lu will abide by the truth on the twenty-seventh day of the third month of the Guimao year and recruit his disciple Xuan Heng into the Maoshan sect. I hereby express my gratitude to the Celestial Master."

After speaking, Wang Zhiyuan threw the watch with Su Heng's birth date and Taoist name into the brazier.

After Su Heng gained the Taoist name, Wang Zhiyuan led him to perform three rituals and nine kowtows to the gods.

The big chime rings six times.

At this point, the ceremony of worshiping the teacher is complete.

Su Heng was respectful and respectful throughout the whole process, completely unlike Li Ping and Liu Yun who were distracted, which made Wang Zhiyuan quite satisfied.

"From now on, you officially convert to the Maoshan Sect and become my disciple, and I will be your master."

"The disciple has met the master."

"Okay. Later, I will follow Li Ping to collect Taoist robes and scriptures."

"After you have read the scriptures well, come to me to teach you."

Chuandu refers to the formal etiquette for Taoists to enter Taoism. After passing through the transmission, one has obtained the first step from mortal to saint, and the next step is to receive the urn and be named Tiancao.

"Thank you Master."

"I won't lie to you. The Taoist temple is not as good as it used to be. Not many people come to offer incense. You can just take time to clean it on weekdays. If there are ritual performances, you will be notified in advance. Please try your best to come when you can. Also, it depends on your face. I am haggard, pay more attention to exercise on weekdays."

"Disciples follow the instructions carefully."

Wang Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, this kid still looks like that. In his later years, he got a good apprentice for no reason?
  After thanking Wang Zhiyuan again, Su Heng followed Li Ping and Liu Yun out of the hall and went to the warehouse to get Taoist clothes and scriptures.

On the way, Li Ping couldn't help but said: "Brother, I am outspoken. If I say something wrong, don't take it personally. To be honest, you are the first person to pay money to be a Taoist priest!"

"Didn't you pay the tuition?" "Tuition? The old man still has to pay our salary! By the way, don't call me senior brother. Strictly speaking, Li Ping and I are not Taoist priests. We just come here to make extra money, and maybe we can meet each other. Old Man Wang’s granddaughter." Liu Yun said.

"Master also has a granddaughter?"

Li Ping looked carefully and confirmed that Su Heng did not know, and said excitedly to Liu Yun:

"Quick, give me the money!"

Liu Yun had no choice but to hand over a hundred-dollar bill.

Seeing that Su Heng didn't understand why, Li Ping proudly explained: "Liu Yun bet me that you are sending money and becoming a disciple, so you must be aiming for the position of son-in-law of the Wang family. Maybe it was Wang Yuran's boyfriend who was the first to come. I didn’t expect you to be taken advantage of?"

"Li Ping, why are you scolding people? Everyone has their own ambitions. Maybe this is someone else's hobby."

"Sorry, I was quick to speak."

"It's okay. To be honest with you two, I am indeed determined to become a Taoist priest in Maoshan. I have no other distractions."

"I don't understand...but respect!"

The warehouse door opened, and there was a musty smell. After the smell dissipated slightly, the three of them walked into the warehouse.

"Ahem, it's been a while since I've been here, and the spiders have settled in."

Li Ping was responsible for searching for Taoist robes, and after a long time he found three Taoist robes, blue, white, and black.

Su Heng took over the Taoist robe.

Liu Yun pulled out a pile of books, dusted them off, and said, "It's all here."

This is the "Morning and Evening Work Sutra", "Laozi's Tao Te Ching" and "The Sutra of Rebirth" written by Maoshan Taoist priests. "Morning and Evening Work Sutra" also includes "Eight Divine Mantras", "Tai Shang Laojun's Sutra of Constant Peace", "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Sheng Xuan, Eliminating Disasters and Protecting Life", "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Saves Suffering" Sutras such as "Wonderful Sutra" and "Yuanshi Tianzun's True Sutra on Rebirth and Enlightenment".

"Okay, the matter is done. Go back and tell Mr. Wang that we can get off work today!"

……

In the Taiyuan Palace, Wang Zhiyuan put on his reading glasses, took out his smartphone, squinted and opened WeChat, and made a video call to his granddaughter Wang Yuran.

Half a minute later, the video connection was successful.

Wang Zhiyuan saw his granddaughter stuffing bread into her mouth on the screen and asked vaguely:

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"Eat slowly. Are you busy lately? Why don't you go back to the Taoist temple?"

"I'm sorry, grandpa. I have to be promoted to an intermediate seance master recently, and I have a lot of materials to prepare. I'm really busy. I'll definitely go back when I have time~"

Wang Yuran worked at the Seance in Haibin City and became a model seanceer at a young age.

"You don't have to come back all the way if you're busy. The Taoist temple just accepted a new disciple today. He's handsome and seems honest. Are you interested?"

"Spare me. I don't want to fall in love just yet. Besides, I don't want to fall in love with a Taoist priest..."

"What's wrong with the Taoist priest? Isn't grandpa also a Taoist priest?"

"It's different!" Wang Yuran stuck out his tongue, "Stop talking about grandpa, the meeting is about to begin~"

"Remember to have breakfast on time!"

After hanging up the video, Wang Zhiyuan sighed: "A 23-year-old is still so troublesome."

"Master, who can't be worried?"

Li Ping and Liu Yun led Su Heng back.

"Who else could it be, Yu Ran?"

"Oh, what's wrong with Yu Ran? When will she come back?" Li Ping asked with special concern.

"It's none of your business whether you come back or not." Wang Zhiyuan said angrily, and then looked at Su Heng, his tone became gentle again, "We have collected all the things, let's add WeChat. We can use WeChat to contact you if you have anything to do on weekdays. It is convenient and saves money." money."

Su Heng took out his mobile phone and asked, "Shall I scan you?"

"Well, sweep me."

"Ding dong~"

The scanned QR code showed Wang Zhiyuan's business card, his nickname was Shouzhen, and his avatar was himself.

Su Heng clicked to add to the address book.

Wang Zhiyuan received an added message on his mobile phone. He clicked on it and saw that the nickname was "A Monster from the World" and the avatar showed a black face grinning.

Wang Zhiyuan:......

Su Heng:......

Wang Zhiyuan: "The avatar doesn't matter. Once you enter the Taoist sect, your nickname can't be monster, right?"

Su Heng: "Change it immediately!"
