On September 15th, Zhao Ran rushed from Baima Mountain Camp to Ye Xueguan after a long journey.
"Compared with the unprecedented grand occasion when he came last time, he felt a bit quiet and cold this time. Apart from himself, he was only accompanied by the old donkey. After passing the ultimatum and entering Guancheng, he came to the temporary government office occupied by the Taoist sect and presented his "enrollment basket" to the deacon Taoist priest.
After the Taoist priest checked that everything was correct, he introduced him to the temporary government office, placed Zhao Ran in a side courtyard, and told him that the Shengmen Dharma Altar would be opened in three days, and told him to wait quietly in the courtyard, otherwise he would miss it. I don¡¯t know when the next altar ceremony will be.
The so-called "Shengmen Dharma Altar" is actually a fasting ceremony specially organized by the Taoist sect for those so-called "unqualified and rootless" people to help them obtain the opportunity to practice. In fact, there are good and bad qualifications, and there is no right or wrong. What affects the speed and difficulty of practice is the speed and difficulty of practice. From another perspective, it actually confirms the Buddhist concept of "everyone has enlightenment".
The root and bone are directly related to whether you can practice. For those who want to enter the door of spiritual practice, this is the most critical issue. Only by solving the root and bone problem can we talk about the speed and difficulty of practice. For example, Zhao Ran has good qualifications, but his fundamental problem has not been solved, so he is still unable to enter Taoism.
If you want to straighten your bones, you must first loosen them - this is the origin of the Bone-Spreading Pill. However, the process of bone dispersing is extremely dangerous and painful. It is easy to cause the bones to break apart after taking the bone dispersing pill. Therefore, the Taoist sect has set up a special altar for ascending the door. Through this specific fasting ceremony, the bone dispersing The person who takes the pill is given magical protection.
The "Shengmen Ju" in Zhao Ran's hand is the certificate for participating in the fasting ceremony of the Shengmen Altar. It was also what Zhu Qigu asked for from Xuanyuan Temple before leaving.
Of course, Zhao Ran knew the priorities of the matter, so he stayed in the side courtyard and did not go out to cause trouble in pursuit of fresh excitement. He even rarely stepped out of his own door, except to visit the wing next door.
What Zhao Ran didn¡¯t expect at all was that living next door to him was an acquaintance ¨C his good senior brother Yu Zhiyuan!
When people meet an old friend in a foreign country, they naturally feel particularly cordial, not to mention that this old friend is also a Taoist leader who takes good care of him. Surprised, the two talked enthusiastically about their experiences.
¡°Compared with Zhao Ran¡¯s thrilling encounter this time, Yu Zhiyuan¡¯s experience was a bit duller. In the past few months since he came to Baima Mountain again, he has been busy with trivial matters, such as processing official documents and orders, checking the supplies and grain, presiding over fasting rituals, or helping to read and write military orders. Letter from the deceased¡¯s family.
Yu Zhiyuan has already taken the Sangu Pill twice. If he wants to see the effect after taking the Sangu Pill for the third time, regardless of the huge danger involved, mental tempering is essential. According to the words of the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin, "You must realize it between life and death, and look for good opportunities to use medicine in that thin line, otherwise it will still be useless." But if he continues to immerse himself in trivial matters, where will he have the opportunity to temper his state of mind in life and death?
Therefore, Yu Zhiyuan signed up for the scout mission and went to the forefront of the battlefield to spy on the Xia Army and even Buddhism. Can you imagine a weak Taoist who has no knowledge of Taoism or martial arts, and has never even raised a sword or gun, but who has worked tirelessly for more than thirty years in the vast Taoist treasures to spy on military affairs? When Zhao Ran thought of this scene, he immediately felt respect in his heart: "Senior Brother Yu, it's really hard for you!"
¡°Perhaps Yu Zhiyuan¡¯s pursuit of truth moved Daozu, and he finally found out important information by chance. The monks from the Jambudvipa Temple in Huwei Mountain came to the battlefield in accordance with the decree of Tianlongyuan. They set up a large formation under the snow-capped mountains: the world of thirty-six ghosts.
Zhao Ran was very interested in the formation and was very surprised when he heard it, so he asked: "What formation is this?"
Yu Zhiyuan said: "The people worshiping Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at the Jambudvipa Temple in Huwei Mountain are cultivating the method of salvation from hell. This formation is designed to hunt down the thirty-six kinds of evil spirits in the world. These evil spirits all commit the eleven serious crimes or the ten evils." wheel, he will surely fall into the endless hell. Therefore, he is detained in a formation and subjected to a fast for seven or forty-nine days in order to change his purpose of being reborn in the next life."
Zhao Ran thought about it for a moment and said doubtfully: "This is a good thing, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yu Zhiyuan explained: "This is a good deed of Buddhism, and our Taoist sect will not deny it. But the key is that the monks of Huwei Mountain can move this formation in front of the two armies. Wherever the formation passes, regardless of human beings or ghosts, as long as they make mistakes The eleven serious crimes or the Ten Evil Wheels are all saved - the ghosts are detained in the thirty-six ghost realms, while the living people eliminate their karmic obstacles and convert to Buddhism What are the eleven serious crimes or the Ten Evil Wheels that Buddhism refers to? , you may be able to understand something in the future, most people in the world have violated it, especially the sergeants in the army, it is almost inevitable."
Zhao Ran understood it as soon as he heard it, and said in horror: "God, this is not to kill me.Have all the soldiers in the army been converted into Buddhist believers? "
Yu Zhiyuan said: "After learning the news, I immediately sent people to report to Baima Mountain. At the same time, I also arrived at Daxue Mountain, hoping to conduct in-depth investigation. Unfortunately, I underestimated the breadth of the formation's deployment range. After being involved in the formation, Only then did I realize the most terrifying thing in the world There was a man who was twice as tall as a normal person, faceless, with holes in his hands and feet, and his body was burned by heat; there was a man whose throat was as thin as a needle tip, but whose belly was as big as a mountain, who screamed for hunger and thirst, but could not eat anything. None of them could enter; there were those who were slashed by knives inexplicably dropped from the air and ran away; there were also those who were covered in insects and ants, suffering from devouring their bodies, it was so miserable Looking at their miserable state, thinking about their own mistakes, I couldn't help but feel sad. I was shaken Then I heard the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra resounding in the air, and I almost couldn't help but follow Buddhism from now on. Fortunately, I have been in Taoism for many years and have recited Taoism scriptures for no less than twenty years. The great perseverance refused his call"
As he spoke, a look of admiration suddenly appeared on Yu Zhiyuan's face, and he said: "One day, a woman suddenly came into the formation. She was graceful and noble, awe-inspiring and inviolable. She was holding a glazed palace lantern, and the lantern gave off a huge light. It covers all directions. The bright light is irresistible, and countless evil spirits are controlled by it, either turning into ashes on the spot, or gradually melting into bones"
"What happened next?" Zhao Ran knew that the "woman" Yu Zhiyuan mentioned must be Zhu Qigu, so he asked anxiously.
"Later, seven-colored auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and there were countless gods standing on the clouds At this time, my eyes became black and I was dizzy. When I woke up, I was already in the White Horse Mountain camp. I asked around, that The name of the woman who rescued me is Zhu Qigu Junior Brother Zhao, you just said that it was Zhu Qigu who gave you the Scattering Bone Pill. Senior Brother, I am really envious of her. If you have time in the future, Junior Brother must introduce me to her once, so that I can thank Qi Gu in person. A big favor."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely introduce her to you next time I see her. My sister treats me very well and is amiable. She is not as cold and arrogant as the outside world reports."
"That's good I don't know how injured Master Chu Yangcheng is. There are neither Buddhas nor Taoists in southern Xinjiang. I heard that there are many demons. I hope Qi Gu and the others are safe."
The two of them were relatively speechless, each thinking about their own concerns. I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Yu Zhiyuan said again: ¡°After experiencing this, I knew that my opportunity had arrived, so I came to seek help from Master Kenyuan I hope that this time I can realize my long-cherished wish!¡±
"Senior brother will definitely be able to do it. I have great confidence in him!"
"Thank you for your good advice, senior brother. I also wish you can get the right foundation in one go and start practicing spiritual practice from now on!"
The two encouraged each other and got along very well in the next two days. On the morning of the third day, a Huang Guan from the Dao Sect came, it was Jin Tengen who had interrogated Zhao Ran. He summoned all seven people living in this side courtyard and took them out of the courtyard, through several corridors and courtyards, and arrived at a lobby.
There is an offering table in the middle of the lobby, which is dedicated to Zhang Tianshi. The altar table is surrounded by five-color silk ribbons, and talismans are placed everywhere in the hall. A long table is placed around it. Thirty-six Tiangang lanterns, seventy-two Disha lanterns are arranged on the table, and there are also various ritual instruments for fasting and offering rituals. Zhao Ran's vision was different at this time, and he immediately saw that these magical artifacts were all real magical artifacts, and they were definitely not the Xibei artifacts that he used to host the fasting ceremony in Guyang County!
There are seven beds in the lobby, which are prepared for the seven of them.
The person standing in front of the altar table is the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin. In the four corners of the lobby, there are four Taoist priests, each holding a peach wood sword, preparing to cooperate with the great alchemist Yuan Yangbin to host the "Shengmen Dharma Altar", Jin Tengen is also among them .
Master Yuanda explained a few words, and then shouted: "The auspicious time has come, let's open the altar!" He offered incense to Master Zhang, and then paid homage to Qingci. After completing these efforts, Zhao Ran suddenly felt that the entire lobby was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere, and the energy in the hall suddenly condensed.
