Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 55 Consecration of Utensils

"I respect you with all your heart, brothers, three stars, four seasons, five leaders, six six six..."

Before getting up early in the morning, Su Heng vaguely heard the sound of Yuan Jingshu and Yuan Jinghong making wine fists from inside the Taoist temple.

He suddenly remembered that Wang Zhiyuan said that none of these two uncles smoked and drank on weekdays.

"It's not like drinking a bar in the morning."

Su Heng stretched out, walked out of the room, brushed his teeth, and washed. During this period, he saw Wang Zhiyuan and Xu Qiuyang doing slow boxing exercises side by side in the yard.

"Morning."

"Morning, do you want to exercise together?"

"Okay."

Su Heng walked up to the two old men and asked curiously: "What kind of boxing is this?"

"Xingyi Five Elements Boxing."

"Can it be used for fighting?"

Wang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Of course not. This is a health-preserving boxing, how can it be used for fighting."

Also, when Su Heng watched the two people's moves, their speed was extremely slow, almost like a martial arts performance.

"If you want to fight, you have to let your master teach you the Maoshan Divine Fist."

Xu Qiuyang took advantage of every opportunity and said.

"Maoshan Divine Fist, what is that?"

Xu Qiuyang closed his fist and wiped his sweat with a towel: "Have you seen the movie? The Maoshan Taoist priests in it are all proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts with swords, guns and sticks. That is the Maoshan Divine Fist."

Wang Zhiyuan shook his head after hearing this: "Don't be joking, be careful that Su Heng takes it seriously. Then you will teach him the magic fist."

Xu Qiuyang just laughed and let this matter be over. But Su Heng firmly remembered the "Maoshan Divine Fist" in his heart.

The Taoist temple eats millet porridge and white steamed buns for breakfast, along with a plate of pickles to relieve thirst.

At the dinner table, the two uncles were drunk and were muttered several times by Wang Zhiyuan.

"Are the two senior brothers not here today?" Su Heng asked casually. Without Li Ping and Liu Yun, there was no one to clean the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Yuan Jingshu burped: "They probably won't be able to report back to the Taoist temple until the day after tomorrow."

Su Heng remembered that the day after tomorrow was the day for the second review of the investigator's draft.

Could it be that they have to wait until the deliberation is successful before coming back?

After breakfast, Su Heng originally wanted to ask Yuan Jingshu for advice on consecration, but the other party drank the morning wine and fell asleep soundly. He probably would not wake up until the afternoon.

Su Heng had no choice but to go to the homework room and continue studying the "Morning and Evening homework sutra".

During this period, he asked Master when he would be able to receive the burial, but the reply was that he would have to wait a year.

One year later, who are you kidding?
  "Master, can you accept it in advance?"

"No, this is the rule."

But no matter how hard Su Heng tried to persuade him, Wang Zhiyuan refused to give in. In the end, he even said sincerely:

"Apprentice, if you really want to inherit the Maoshan Sect, you should not be anxious. Cultivation is actually about cultivating the mind. Remember, guard against arrogance and impetuosity."

Although the Maoshan sect is gradually declining, Wang Zhiyuan refuses to compromise. Su Heng admired him for sticking to his inner principles.

After all, it was Wang Zhiyuan's persistence that prevented Maoshan Taoist Temple from disappearing completely.

"Disciple understands." Su Heng knew that this matter could not be forced, but he still tried to argue, "Master, do you have any explanation for why it takes one year?"

Wang Zhiyuan explained that when he was first taught the "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Sutra", he was required to master the "Morning and Evening Kung Fu Sutra" and recite the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Sutra of Savior". Doing this usually takes more than a year.

"So after you have read the required Taoist scriptures thoroughly, you can receive the ritual, right?"

"Well, after reading it thoroughly and passing the test as a teacher, you can perform the first acceptance ceremony."

Wang Zhiyuan promised.

Su Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the pile of "Morning and Evening Work Sutra", "Tao Te Ching" and "The Sutra of Savior" is thick, with his current memory ability and the blessing of divine spell, he can master it and pass the test in two months at most.

"Okay, disciple, keep this in mind."

……

After reading scriptures all morning and having lunch, Su Heng finally waited until his third uncle Yuan Jingshu sobered up and asked him for advice on consecrating utensils.

"Next time you ask for advice, tell me in advance, so I won't become so drunk."

Yuan Jingshu had never known how to repay Su Heng for saving his life. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally do his best.

The two came to the main hall.

"The consecration of Maoshan sect is divided into the consecration of simple utensils and the consecration of statues. The consecration of statues requires certain qualifications. As for the consecration of utensils, disciples can also learn from it."

Yuan Jingshu introduced it while taking out a stack of paper. “To consecrate an object, you need to use this consecration diagram.”

Yuan Jingshu took out a drawing and showed it.

Su Heng noticed that the consecration hand diagram consists of a series of geometric shapes and symbols.

The core of the hand diagram is a center point, which represents the source of energy. The geometric shapes and symbols radiating outward from the central point represent the flow and diffusion of energy.

"The consecration hand diagram is usually drawn on paper, but can also be engraved directly on the object to enhance the consecration effect."

"No matter how much you say, it's better to just get started. By the way, you haven't received the magic weapon yet, right?"

Taoist priests mainly have five magical instruments, namely incense burner, alchemy furnace, fire candle, magic bell and magic sword. Su Heng didn't have any of these five magic weapons.

"Senior brother must have forgotten, wait a moment."

Yuan Jingshu walked out of the main hall and returned five minutes later holding a wooden sword with a darker color and strange patterns.

Yuan Jingshu handed out the wooden sword: "Ahem, my uncle forgot to give me a gift, so I used this wooden sword to make up for it. Despite its shabby appearance, it is made of lightning-struck wood."

Folks generally believe that lightning-struck wood is split by thunder and lightning from the sky. Ghosts are deeply afraid of it and it is the most powerful talisman to ward off evil spirits.

This gift is so valuable!
  "Thank you, uncle, my nephew is very grateful."

"Hi." Such sincere thanks made Yuan Jingshu embarrassed, "It's not an expensive gift. Okay, let's continue learning to consecrate."

The first step in the consecration process is to place the object in the center of the hand diagram, then adjust your breathing and enter a meditative state.

"The next step is the most important. Recite the Golden Light Divine Mantra loudly, speak quickly, speak vaguely, and make these gestures at the same time..."

Yuan Jingshu muttered something while wiping his fingers on the sword, looking a bit funny.

"You can read it several times. The most important thing is the state of the performance. It must have a sense of seriousness and mystery. If the performance is good and the buyer is happy, he will naturally pay more."

Su Heng:......

It turns out that it is so complicated to sell the consecrated objects at a better price.

"Okay, come and give it a try."

Su Heng followed suit and completed the first step.

While adjusting his breathing, he recited the Pure Mind Mantra directly.

Yuan Jingshu stood aside and watched.

"Heart-purifying spell, why didn't I think of this part? I'll add it next time, and I'll earn ten more dollars!"

After reciting, Su Heng's expression immediately became serious and indifferent.

"Great acting!"

Then, Su Heng pointed his fingers together, held down the wooden sword, and muttered something.

"The Xuanzong of heaven and earth, the root of all things. I have cultivated for thousands of kalpas and proved my supernatural power. Inside and outside the three realms, only Tao is the only one. There is golden light in my body, which reflects my body. I can't see it, and I can't hear it. It encompasses the heaven and the earth, and nourishes all living things... "

"...the light of the sky, the light of the earth, the light of the sun, the moon and the stars, the ordinary great light, shines in all directions, I serve the Supreme Lord as urgent as a law!"

Under Su Heng's full control, the golden light transformed by mana surged from his fingers, slowly merged into the wooden sword, and flowed along the texture of the wooden sword.

For the first time, Su Heng controlled the golden light energy to leave the body. He did not dare to neglect, and concentrated his attention to the extreme, with an extremely focused expression.

It wasn't until all the lines emitted a faint golden light that Su Heng slowly released his fingers.

A single consecration instills nearly three-quarters of the mana.

But luckily it worked.

"call."

With a long sigh of relief, Su Heng looked at the wooden sword again.

If you look closely, you can see a faint golden light flowing throughout the sword.

Of course, only he could see the golden light. To ordinary people, this was still an ordinary wooden sword.

Su Heng confirmed that after being consecrated, the wooden sword had transformed into a real magic weapon for killing evil spirits!
  And in terms of strength, it completely explodes the electromagnetic dagger currently held.

"Clap clap clap."

The crisp applause came from Yuan Jingshu, who was almost dumbfounded and admired Su Heng from the bottom of his heart.

The serious look on his face and the sweat on his forehead didn't look like an act at all.

Not to mention ordinary people being confused after seeing it, even Yuan Jingshu believed it to be true for a few moments.

Talent!
  The holy body of a natural Taoist priest.

Just based on the performance just now, the price of the lighting equipment has at least doubled.

Yuan Jingshu immediately decided to involve Su Heng in similar business activities in the future.
