    Back in his room, Zhao Ran used to prick up his ears to eavesdrop on the movement at the opposite door. Unfortunately, except for Zhu Meng's breathing and the occasional walking sound, he heard nothing else.  It was also before Zhao Ran traveled through time that he read too many online novels. The characters in many books often talked to themselves, which made Zhao Ran want to hear what Zhu Meng said to himself.

    Actually, as a normal person, who would talk to himself inexplicably?  At least Zhao Ran has never done this kind of thing in his life. Among people who are used to talking to themselves, at least ninety-nine out of a hundred people have mental problems, and the remaining one is probably not awake.

    Zhao Ran really wanted to rush to the room opposite and ask the guy, how did you learn it? I turned on the golden finger day and night, and only then learned the rituals of Zhaijiao two years in advance. Is it possible that you have such good qualifications?  Are people with good bones always doomed to sit on top of me?  I don¡¯t accept it!

    Zhao Ran was unhappy at home. In fact, he had chosen the wrong target for comparison. If he had chosen a normal sutra chanting Taoist boy for comparison, his academic performance would have been overwhelming.  To say the least, Ma Zhili, who had been in the Sutra Hall for nine years, was almost breathless by Zhao Ran.

    Ma Zhili has been firmly at the top of the first class since four years ago, but seeing the explosive monthly exam results of both Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran this year, he felt deeply uneasy.  Especially starting from this month, Ma Zhili almost went crazy when he learned that the two of them had started to write A-level examination papers.

    According to the rules and practices of Wujiyuan, Ma Zhili is the first candidate for the transfer of duties among the chanting Taoist boys in the Sutra Hall.  Four years ago, a vacancy for a doorman came up, but Ma Zhili didn't want to go. Instead, the unlucky Zhou Zhixiu went. Two years ago, another vacancy came out for a doorman. This position had brighter development prospects, and he really wanted to go.  However, it was a pity that he was snatched away by Yu Zhiyuan, who had a solid background and scored only half a point lower than him in the monthly and annual examinations.

    Well, Ma Zhili regretted not being able to move to the living room door, but he could accept the result. After Yu Zhiyuan left, if nothing unexpected happened, as long as there was a job like "Five Lords and Eighteen Heads"  If there is a vacancy, he will be able to smoothly ascend to the top with the first place result.  But who would have expected that two guys, Zhu Zhimeng and Zhao Zhiran, would appear this year. One was more aggressive than the other, and they ranked first in the monthly exams every time!  Fortunately, Zhu Zhimeng said that he had excellent bones and was destined to go to the pavilion to practice Taoism, so he would not pose a threat to him. However, Zhao Zhiran was different. The boy's rising posture was too powerful. He had only just reached ten  Within a few months, he actually took part in the assessment of the first-class paper, and I heard that Jiang Gaogong was very satisfied with his performance after the interview!

    Ma Zhili felt huge panic - Could it be that God had destined that he would not be able to climb up?  Could it be that I have to give up the opportunity to relocate next time?  I¡¯m really unwilling!

    Reluctant, Ma Zhili didn¡¯t sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he was the first to rush to the Sutra Hall to see the October monthly exam scores posted outside the Sutra Hall.  He was ranked first. There was no suspense for the moment. Then behind his name, he saw the two names Zhao Zhiran and Zhu Zhimeng Ma Zhili's face instantly turned pale. He felt that the sky was about to collapse. He had been there all morning.  Both the morning and evening classes are very busy.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t know Ma Zhili¡¯s little thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care. His mood was slightly better than yesterday, because his name was ranked in front of Zhu Meng!

    After the morning and evening classes, Zhao Ran and Zhu Meng both stayed behind. They bickered with each other for a few words before being called over by Liu Jingzhu.

    "Needless to say, Junior Brother Zhu Zhimeng, a few years ago I brought up a Junior Brother who was just like you. He was a man of Taoism. But when he left a year later, he had not yet learned the rituals of fasting and offering sacrifices, but you  Three months ahead of schedule, and got the first-class ranking. I heard that the junior brother is now a successful monk and is also one of the young disciples in Huayun Pavilion." Liu Jingzhu sighed and continued: "Next year you will arrive at Huayun  As long as you work hard, your achievements will surely be even higher!"

    After being praised by Liu Jingzhu, Zhu Meng glanced at Zhao Ran with arrogance in his eyes.

    After praising Zhu Meng, Liu Jingzhu turned to Zhao Ran again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and just sighed with regret, which made Zhao Ran feel very uncomfortable.

    "The two of you have read through the "Supreme Yellow Urn Great Zhai Ceremony" and have gained an understanding of the Zhai Jiao etiquette. Following Senior Brother Jiang's instructions, I will tell you here the practical method for the two of you to use during Zhai Jiao. Senior Brother Jiang  I'm looking forward to you two Well, that's all for you, junior brothers, but junior brother Zhao Zhiran, you have to be more attentive."

    The more Zhao Ran listened, the more awkward he became. The little joy he felt because his name was listed before Zhu Meng disappeared.  Following Liu Jingzhu's words, my heart gradually became sentimental, and I secretly cursed, "Damn Gen Gu!"

    Liu Jingzhu began to teach the method of fasting and praying.

    "The Inauguration Ceremony of the Supreme Huanglu Dazhao"?? recorded all the procedures for the Zhai Jiao, including what items needed to be prepared, how to set up the altar at the beginning, how to worship in the middle, and how to conduct the Jiao later. Therefore, Liu Jingzhu did not say much about this, but just asked the two of them, especially Zhao Ran, to follow the instructions in the book.  Just say it and do it.  The key to his teaching is the essentials of movements during the Zhaijiao. These essentials of movements are divided into several parts, including hand techniques, footwork, the use of magical instruments, the essentials of chanting mantras, etc. Today he will start with the hand techniques.

    ??Shujue is one of the basic essentials of Taoism. It is very complicated and cannot be done by just making random gestures.  The human body is in harmony with the way of heaven, so every part of the body corresponds to the celestial phenomena, and the same is true for the palms.  Each part on the palm corresponds to the Tiangang Beidou, the Twelve Hours, the Nine Palaces and Bagua, etc.

    Liu Jingzhu first asked the two to spread their palms flat, and then pointed out the corresponding meanings of each part one by one.

    For example, the fifteen knot patterns on the five fingers represent a variety of meanings.  If we count the Nine Palaces Bagua, the middle knot pattern on the middle finger corresponds to the middle palace. The upper and lower knot patterns and the three knot patterns on the index finger and ring finger represent the eight directions of the Bagua. Among them, starting from the lower knot pattern on the ring finger (clockwise around the middle palace  Rotation), in order Qian, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun, Zhen, Li and Dui.

    ??If we count the twelve hours, starting from the knot pattern on the index finger downwards and backward, they are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

    The Big Dipper and the Twenty-Eight Constellations also have detailed correspondences, which must be kept in mind.

    By integrating celestial phenomena, directions and time into the palm of your hand, you can "play the universe in the palm of your hand", which is the so-called "the universe lies in your hands, and everything is born in your body".  According to Liu Jingzhu's explanation, hand techniques are an important part of the Zhaijiao ritual. Only by using hand techniques in conjunction with walking and chanting can the gods and gods be channeled and cast their spells.

    Of course, Zhao Ran has been in Wuji Courtyard for many days now, and he is skeptical about this.  What he doubted was not this set of things - the world no longer needed to doubt this. What he doubted was whether these methods were correct for the secular Taoist priests in the Shifang Jungle Temple?  Will it actually work?  Or does it need to be coordinated with other methods?  It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to enter the pavilion in the secret place of Taoism. He also didn't have the foundation and qualifications to practice Taoism, so he couldn't solve the puzzle for the time being.

    The so-called pinch technique is to pinch the other parts of the palm with different meanings with the thumb. For example, to pinch "ganwen", the thumb is pinched on the lower section of the ring finger.  This is the simplest single technique among the techniques. Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran, one is talented and the other has a golden finger, so Liu Jingzhu taught it very quickly.  The two of them soon memorized it by heart, even without delaying their afternoon rest.

    The single formula is relatively simple. You only need to remember the meanings represented by each place on the palm. What is really complicated is the compound text that is composed of single texts, and the compound text that continuously evolves from the compound texts.  For example, in the refining ritual to save the dead, if you need to ask Taiyi to save the suffering god from descending to earth, you have to pinch the compound text: the palms of both hands are crossed together, the thumb of the left hand is bent into the palm, and the remaining nine fingers are exposed, which means  Nine lion heads, so it is also called "Lion Jue" - Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and his old man's mount was a nine-headed lion.

    Among the formulas, the more powerful the master is, the simpler the formulas are. The lower the general is, the more complicated the formulas are. When he reaches the level of heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals and heavenly warriors, he needs to combine the formulas.  Wen.  Zhao Ran asked, "Then I just need to learn how to make simple formulas. The techniques are simple, and the people I invite are powerful, so why not do it?"

    According to Liu Jingzhu¡¯s explanation, this is the case in theory, but it doesn¡¯t work in practice.  The more capable you are, the higher your horizons will be. There are too few sacrifices, and there are too many things to do. There is no time to talk to you, so it is difficult to invite him.  On the contrary, those little gods, although their techniques are complicated, can basically be summoned to the mortal world.

    Next, after the evening classes every day, Liu Jingzhu spent about half an hour teaching compound essays and combined essays to the two of them in turn according to the special "Secrets".  After teaching the "Juemu", related contents such as Bu Gang, chanting mantras, and magical weapons will be explained one by one.

    On the day after Zhu Meng and Zhao Ran obtained first-class rankings again in the eleventh month's monthly exam, Jiang Gaogong informed them that they were ready to take them down the mountain to help with the fasting ceremony.

    Thanks to brother yangzhigang for the reward!
