There are three halls and one temple in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the main hall, the sleeping hall, the Xiangdian, and the ancestral temple. The sleeping hall is used to house the ancestors of the emperors of the past dynasties. The emperors and queens were accompanied. Each emperor was assigned a niche. The ninth emperor was called the Nine Temples.
Tianshi Chen stood solemnly in the dormitory. He led Zhao Ran and Li Dayin to clasp their fists and bow to the Zhu emperors in the nine temples as a sign of respect. The other monks of Chaotian Palace, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion all performed the nine-bow ceremony.
The so-called "nine prayers" include "jishou", "dumb bow", "empty bow", "vibration", "auspicious bow", "unfortunate bow", "odd bow", "praise bow" and "suspect bow". After that, a cup of tea was over.
Chen Tianshi put his hands behind his back, pointed to the left side of the hall, and said: "When we were discussing the posthumous title of King Xing in Yuanfu Palace, Zhiran was also there. Finally, it was agreed that King Xing plus Bensheng Huangkao would be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. , His shrine is not here, but in the side hall outside."
Zhao Ran nodded and said nothing. At that time, the emperor wanted to honor his father, King Xing, as the emperor. One of the goals he wanted to achieve was to let King Xing enter the sleeping palace as emperor. But if King Xing entered the sleeping palace, which of the nine temples would be placed there? What about in the temple behind? This is not only a technical issue, but also an issue of the order of the country, which is why it has caused fierce disputes between North Korea and China.
The final result was to give King Xing the name "Bensheng Huangkao", emphasizing that it was the current emperor's Bensheng Huangkao. It's okay not to emphasize it. This emphasis actually further clarified the order of the emperor. The emperor was not the legal son of King Xing, but only the son by blood. Although King Xing's throne was shared in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he could not enter the sleeping hall. In the end, he could only be enshrined in the side hall in the veranda, which was quite a bit like a "concubine".
As the opposing party in the debate, Zhao Ran did not take up the topic, and Chen Tianshi did not elaborate further. He just introduced it and walked through the dormitory to the Xiang Palace at the back.
The Xiangdian is the place where sacrifices are actually held. Before the sacrificial ceremony, the gods are taken out of the sleeping hall and placed in the Xiangdian. After the ceremony, they are moved back to the sleeping hall. In vernacular, it means: I sincerely invite you to come out and enjoy the feasthave you finished eating? You should always go back and continue to rest.
As for the last temple, the sleeping hall was not enough. It was used as a "retirement" for the oldest emperor, and it was dedicated to the four generations of Taizu.
Chen Tianshi did not take Zhao Ran to the temple, but stood in the Xiang Palace and waved to the two Chaotian Palace monks. After the two monks walked around to the front of the hall to confess their case, they retracted their hand seals inward, and the hanging scarf flags were immediately rolled up, revealing a jade pillar standing in the sky.
Chen Tianshi stared at the jade pillar, and Zhao Ran followed his gaze.
This pillar is made entirely of white marble. It is about one foot tall and as thick as a fist. There is a stone beast squatting on the top disk. A cloud plate is inserted horizontally under the disk. The column body is carved with cloud dragons. The bottom end is made of lotus. The entire white marble pillar is made of white marble. The stone pillars are faintly red and extremely exquisite.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but blurt out: "Huabiao?"
The ancient name of Huabiao was "Hengbiao". In the pre-Qin period, it was used to guide the way. It also facilitated passers-by to write advice on it so that the monarch could receive advice. Therefore, it was also called "slander wood", which reminded the emperor to open up his mind and be brave enough to accept advice. Meaning, it is also a symbol of imperial power.
Chen Tianshi asked: "Has Zhiran ever seen the Jiuzhou Fangyuan Ding on Mount Lu?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "I've seen it."
"What do you think Zhiran thinks?"
"It is the crystallization of the wisdom of our Taoist ancestors. From Xiaodao's point of view, it is the most important treasure of Taoist sect."
Chen Tianshi nodded: "The Jiuzhou Fangyuan Cauldron was made by the combination of Kou Tianshi and Mr. Jian Ji. The virtues of the sages will be passed down through the ages."
This is the first time Zhao Ran has heard about the origin of Jiuzhou Fangyuan Ding. Mr. Jian Ji is Lu Xiujing, and the person who stands alongside Lu Xiujing in this world is Tianshi Kou Qianzhi. With the help of these two people, it is no wonder that they were able to refine this important treasure that laid the foundation of the Taoist sect for thousands of years.
Zhao Ran asked: "What is the function of this gorgeous watch?"
Chen Tianshi then pointed to the stone beast at the top and said: "This beast is called Shi Jian, which can absorb the emperor's authority and rituals. I, the Ming Dynasty, are fire virtues, so Shi Jian absorbs the energy of fire virtues in the world and precipitates into the water of red essence in the body. Where it is The standing plate is called the dew plate. Shi Jian turns the water of Chijing into dew, drips into the plate, goes down along the pillars, and soaks into the rosette at the bottom. When the lotus blooms, you can take it. One flower is effective. , it is enough to have 3.6 billion faith, it can eliminate cause and effect, it can lead to the Rainbow Bridge, and its function can help people ascend!"
Zhao Ran was dumbfounded, looking at the faintly red Huabiao Jade Pillar in front of him, thinking that this was the source of Shao Da Tianshi's reliance on reforming the Taoist sect.
He vaguely felt the strangeness of the heaven and earth qi here, so he opened his eyes to investigate. At a glance, he saw that the heaven and earth qi was centered on the entire dormitory, slowly rotating in a whirlpool, from the main hall, dormitory, temple, A trace of Chi Jing's red energy was extracted from everywhere in the verandah, and directed towardThe stone beast at the top of the table floated over and was taken into the body by the stone beast.
On the periphery, more Chi Jing red gas flows towards the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and is stored in the main hall, dormitory hall, temple, and verandas.
The entire Ancestral Temple is absorbing Chi Jing¡¯s energy!
Zhao Ran was greatly shocked and murmured: "This Ancestral Temple"
??Chen Tianshi said: "Zhiran has good eyesight, the entire Ancestral Temple is a magic weapon, called the Altar of Wealth and Virtue!"
"Who refined this magic weapon? When was it refined?"
"My teacher!"
According to Chen Tianshi, the Great Heavenly Master Shao Yuanjie began to rebuild the Ancestral Temple in the first year of Jiajing. He said it was "rebuilding", but actually it meant refining. It took him twenty-two years and five refinings to finally make this piece. The successful refining of the Weide Creation Altar has made basic preparations for the transformation of Taoism.
Zhao Ran looked at the red threads floating all over the sky like drizzle, and finally merged into the mouth of Shi Jian at the top of the Huabiao Jade Pillar, and asked: "Is this the Qi of Chi Jing? It doesn't seem to be spiritual energy, why? Haven¡¯t you felt it before?¡±
One of the main methods of a monk¡¯s practice is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth exists in every aspect of this world and exists around ordinary people. The difference is just more and less, concentration and dispersion.
Zhao Ran raised the tiger flag of Chu Yangcheng in Wuji Temple, which was really impressive. In just over two years, he was transformed from a layman of Huo Gong to a Taoist priest, and then from a Taoist chanter to the master of Jingtang Jingtang. He achieved a goal that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime, but because of this he was noticed by Chu Yangcheng and ordered his disciple Tong Baimei to come and verify.
Tong Baimei taught Zhao Ran how to perceive spiritual power that day, and opened the window to the world of practice for Zhao Ran.
After Zhao Ran entered the Dual Qi Sea to practice, he also began the process of absorbing spiritual power, and he was naturally very familiar with spiritual power. In his perception, spiritual power comes in various colors, including crimson, but no matter which color, its characteristics are warm and transparent, and there is no such thing as the scorching heat and chill contained in the so-called Chi Jing's energy. , sharp and powerful feeling.
"Compared with the other kind of Qi in one's body - the power of merit, it is even more incomparable. The characteristics of merit power are vast and simple, while the so-called Chi Jing Qi in front of him is sharp and domineering.
