Chapter 795 New Year¡¯s greetings

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first day of the first lunar month is the day when the five emperors meet in the east.

    The Five Emperors are the five old gods.  According to the "Tai Qing Jade Book", these five emperors are the Qingling Shi Lao Cang Emperor Jiu Qi Tianjun in the east, the Hao Ling Huang Lao Bai Emperor Qiqi Tianjun in the west, the Dan Lingzhen Lao Red Emperor Sanqi Tianjun in the south, and the five emperors in the north.  The old black emperor of Lingxuan is the five-qi Tianjun, and the central Yuanling elder Huangdi is the one-qi Tianjun.

    On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the five emperors determine the length of a person's spirit, which will increase his longevity. Therefore, he should hold a large fast and worship his ancestors and gods to obtain blessings and prolong his life.

    Zhao Ran wore a full set of Zhaijiao robes and led all the Taoist boys in the sutra hall. With the cooperation of senior Taoist priests such as Gu Duguan, Li Zhike, and Zuo Xunzhao, he prayed to the Five Emperors tablets and guided hundreds of devout believers who spontaneously participated in the Zhaijiao.  Recite the "Edict of the Five Emperors and the Five Lao Gods" aloud.

    "The ancestor of Yin and Yang, the root of heaven and earth. He received the imperial edict from the Jade Emperor and enshrined the incantation seal on the spiritual treasure. He collected books, brocade and seals, and exhaled the essence of the five qi. The red elixir bag emitted three rays of light. He sang on the flute and flew in the Hanling Hall.  In the Ziwei Palace. Refine your body, suppress and drive away evil spirits. Great compassion and great wishes, great sage and great mercy, five spirits and five elders, God who saves people and protects their lives!"

    After chanting it three times, you can hear fairy music sounding from the sky, and it seems to be whispering in everyone's ears.

    The believers were astonished when they saw the Five Emperors tablets in the temple shining brightly. The soft brilliance enveloped the entire White Horse Courtyard, making people feel refreshed, peaceful and happy.

    Zhao Ran was a little regretful. After his talismans and Qingci worship expressions reached the sky, they could only go so far. If he wanted to invite the shadow clones of the Five Emperors like he did when he ascended the throne, it was really difficult for Zhao Ran at the moment.  A profound scientific ritual that is difficult to achieve.

    However, Zhao Ran vaguely felt that for the Taoist priests and the hundreds of believers who participated in the fasting ceremony, it was also beneficial to their physical and mental health. The effect was not small, and his efforts were not in vain.

    In fact, there is no need for Zhao Ran to speculate. Just by the look on the face of the old woman who was supported by brothers Baozhong and Xizhong among the believers, he knew that she must have benefited a lot.

    After the fasting ceremony, Zhao Ran sat on the throne and stroked the heads of the believers who came to offer incense one by one. Those with minor ailments were treated on the spot. Those with serious hidden illnesses were given a few words of advice or even a prescription.

    This kind of one-to-one "daylight manifestation" is the most trustworthy, and of course it is also the most mana-consuming. Abbot Zhao is very tired at the end of the day.

    When it was Mrs. Baozhong's turn, Zhao Ran not only stroked the top of her head, but also took her pulse carefully, and said warmly: "It's already healed, but we need to pay more attention. Even though it's freezing cold, we still need to move around to activate the blood circulation.  If you can't do it outside, just walk inside; in addition, you should pay attention to dietary supplements to nourish your vitality. I will write you a prescription later on about what you should eat more, keep Baozhong and Xizhong in mind, and give you, my wife, more to eat."

    The family of three knelt in front of Zhao Ran and kowtowed three times before getting up and leaving.

    From then on until the Lantern Festival, the Taoist priests of Baima Academy held nine fasting festivals. Three of them went to the three Ming army camps in Chewa Valley, Yueyuedu and Anqu to pray for the soldiers, and two of them went to Hongyuan.  The family rituals organized by two wealthy families including the Luodong family in the city.

    Zhao Ran personally hosted four of the nine fasting festivals, which was extremely busy.  Tiao Kong contacted Zhu Meng who was far away in Guyang. Zhu Meng told Zhao Ran that he had also hosted two festivals. Zhu Meng claimed that the impact of the two fast festivals was extremely far-reaching and made Wuji Temple "shocked", including many casual cultivators.  I specially came to Wujiyuan to attend such a "grand event".

    As long as Zhumeng is happy, Zhao Ran has more confidence in him persisting in becoming abbot.

    Since the third grade of junior high school, Zhao Ran has taken the time to travel to many places and pay New Year greetings to the following people:

    Jade Emperor Pavilion Patriarch Longyang, Dongfang Celestial Master, Chu Celestial Master, Zhu Qigu, Dongfang Li, etc. By the way, Dongfang Jing is still wandering around and does not go home during the New Year, which makes Dongfang Celestial Master very unhappy.

    The elders of Huayun Pavilion, Senior Uncle Lin Zhijiao of Wenqing Valley, especially Senior Uncle Lin, Zhao Ran sat for an extra hour and reported to her in detail the construction progress of the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven, and made an agreement with Senior Uncle Lin about the Wenqing Sect.  Approximate time for relocation - around April.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Of course, Zhao Ran originally wanted to recognize Liu Yunwei, the abbot of Xuanyuan Temple, but Liu Yunwei went home for the New Year. His home is in Jiujiang, and his family members have not moved to Sichuan Province with him, so Zhao Ran had to give up.  As for Ye Yunxuan, Zhao Ran didn't bother to pay attention at all.

    Of course, when Zhao Ran paid New Year greetings, he would not forget his two supervisors, Du Tenghui of Tianhe Palace and Governor Xia of the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion. In addition to giving personal New Year gifts, Zhao Ran also urged Ning Deshou to "act as agent"  "Hongyuan Shouyu" became a regular official.

    With the same process, Commander Cao of the Song Dynasty Guard visited the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan again. Governor Xia was investigating the party rebels in Hongyuan because of Ning Deshou.The incident was neutral and meritorious, the draft was accurate, and it was reported to Songhe Palace for strong recommendation.

    Originally, Songhe Palace had the right to directly approve it, but Du Tenghui was frightened last year. In order to avoid suspicion, he submitted this article to Xuanyuan Temple and it was rejected. Although Dutenghui wanted to approve it this year, it had to follow the precedent and once again  Report to Xuanyuan Guan.

    This is also a helpless move. Anyone who has had opinions on how to deal with it can no longer do it on his own. Therefore, what to report and what not to report, what things you can take responsibility for, and what things you cannot take responsibility for, you must first do it.  Think clearly.  Once the report is submitted once, it will be difficult to get the rights back once the batch of restoration rights is handed over.

    Du Teng will be very upset about this, but trouble is still trouble, and the report must be reported.

    But don¡¯t be afraid. Zhao Ran will just wait for Xuanyuan Guan to send an official letter asking for opinions. By then, he will definitely not be stuck again.

    In addition to paying New Year greetings to the above-mentioned people, Zhao Ran also gave full play to the role of flying talisman, specifically flying talisman to pay New Year greetings to teachers, seniors, relatives and friends.

    His current contact list is quite high-end and high-end, ranging from the Grand Master of the Great Heavenly Master and the real masters of Zong Guan, to the elders, brothers and sisters of various houses, and even to the casual cultivators of Long'an Mansion, etc.  When I came out, I saw that it was no less than seven or eight hundred.  If everyone wanted to send flying talismans to pay New Year greetings, Zhao Ran would have to spend a few thousand taels of silver. Even if he was a rich man, such a New Year greeting would be too extravagant, and it would be too much to bear anyway.

    Therefore, he streamlined, streamlined and streamlined, and finally found a hundred people and spent five hundred taels of silver to fulfill his long-cherished dream of flying talismans to celebrate the New Year.

    From then on, every New Year, the sky of the Ming Dynasty is filled with white light. Every year, no less than 100,000 flying talismans are spent on New Year greetings, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.  Most of them paid with public funds, so much so that the General View had to issue a special "Edict on Strictly Frugality, Integrity and Self-Discipline During the New Year" to put a stop to this trend. This will be discussed later and will not be mentioned for now.
