Chapter 11: Climb the ladder to heaven and light the sky lantern

Wei Dao responded: "Yes! He learned from me! But he just can't get angry! Alas!" Brother Ming flattered again: "Where! Where! You are too polite! A tiger father has no dog son, Zhang Ling will definitely become a

He is an excellent Taoist priest! He will definitely be able to carry it forward!" In fact, Wei Dao's words just now were also polite. Of course, he knew that his son was afraid that he would have to teach him everything in one go!

Let's set off! The Taoist priest in front kept ringing the bell and chanting sutras to lead the way. The people behind followed all the way, and sprinkled burning wood chaff powder, which fell to the ground with sparks of fire.

It is like a little spark guiding the deceased, and it is like leaving a mark to let him know how to return to the underworld, so as not to become a lonely ghost. (The most stable,,ka[]

n.)

The filial son and filial grandson followed behind, and the daughter followed, still wiping her tears and crying, crying for her mother to remember that the road would be easy to walk. Good! There was no words all the way, and they arrived at the riverside.

They began to burn incense and light candles, and then they burned paper money. They also started to put out water lanterns. The water lanterns floated on the riverside, and then the shadows of the water lanterns floated farther and farther. At a glance, it was like water and sky.

Connected in a straight line, as if connected in series.

There is no doubt that I have to burn firecrackers. This is an essential thing. I also put down firecrackers from time to time along the way!

It was finally over, and we set off back. The Taoist priests were not as enthusiastic as when they first came here, ringing the bells and chanting sutras. Maybe it was because they no longer had to work so hard when they came back!

Now that I'm back, I can do whatever I need to do, and go to rest one after another! Anyway, there's nothing to do for the time being, and the next dojo is still being prepared.

After you have rested enough and are ready, then you will start a wonderful ceremony to help the souls of the dead to transcend. Of course, this ceremony will cost more, and not every Taoist priest team may have the ability to do it. Then

Just climb the ladder and light the sky lanterns.

As soon as they heard that climbing the ladder to light up the sky lanterns was about to begin, people were very excited, because many people knew the excitement of this, so they gathered together in twos and threes. There were quite a lot of people gathered to see what was popular. This was

Of course.

However, bamboos were erected, and long bamboos were erected. A table was also used to raise a stage for the Taoist priests to sit there. Master Shitou would have a wonderful performance later!

The master's head is up, he is wearing a cassock, and there is a portrait of Bodhisattva hanging behind the master's head. There is an unlit candle under the bamboo opposite the master's head. He is mumbling something in his mouth, maybe he is practicing magic!

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ling asked: "Father, what is he doing? What's the use of doing this?" Wei Dao replied: "What he wants to do now is to climb the ladder to lead the souls to climb the ladder to heaven. There is no need to

Suffering in hell. So wait.

The candle must first rise to the top and be fixed on the top of the bamboo, illuminating everything and the soul of the dead, and making all those who want to stop the soul of the dead retreat. Also remove all obstacles for it, and ask the gods to open a net to protect it.

The soul of the dead arrived in heaven successfully!"

Zhang Ling was very interested: "Wow! It's so magical! It's wonderful! I'm really looking forward to it! I really want to see it soon!" Wei Dao said, "Okay! Just take your time and watch it!"

Wei Dao pointed and said, "Look! It's started!"

Zhang Ling followed what his father pointed and saw, right? The Taoist master began to cast a spell. He chanted the incantation, and it seemed that he had invited the Bodhisattva to possess him and give him magic power.

The candle opposite him rose out of thin air! It rose out of thin air! But this candle exuded green light in the night and even had some white smoke. It was so small that you couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully. Of course,

The candle itself is white, so someone might have mistaken it.

The green light can be seen flashing from time to time, but this does not attract much attention. People are still concerned about how the candle rises and how the master's head will light the candle. Wei Dao already knew it when he saw the green light.

She understood and whispered: "Oh! So that's it!" Zhang Ling glanced at his father and wanted to ask, but he thought it was not the right time and had to give up, and then continued to watch.

Someone said by the side: "Has anyone seen the white smoke? You can only see it if you look carefully! It is said that anyone who can see it will be a blessed person! He is serious and cautious by nature!" In this way, the person who saw it is

If you are happy, if you haven't seen it, you should pay more attention to see it, and strive to be the blessed person.

Someone saw it and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "I saw it too! I saw it too! I saw the smoke!" Someone looked at him with joy and said, "Really? It's really great!"

Those who didn't see it also stepped up to stare.

Someone among the Taoist priests explained: "Have you seen the green light? These are the lights of ghosts. They also want to climb the ladder to heaven with Zhanfu! And this white smoke is the auspiciousness of heaven! Don't you see the opera?

In movies and TV shows, the sky is filled with smoke, and that’s what Wonderland is like! So the rising candles will have white smoke coming out for a while! Sometimes it doesn’t!”

When the Taoist priest explained this, they all nodded in understanding. At this time, the candle rose to the top of the bamboo and stood on the bamboo in anticipation of everyone.

"Wow! Awesome! Miraculous!" People's voices of admiration came and went, and then people's applause sounded like thunder, and they gave Master's head without hesitation.

The master has been enjoying the applause for a long time, and he will perform something more magical next. An old man guessed it and said: "Just watch! The candle is about to be lit!" At this time, the crowd became excited.

, Master’s head is so far away from the candle and so high, how can he light the candle? So they all want to take a look!

Okay! A wonderful moment has happened! With a "swish", the master chanted a spell on his head, and with a flick of his hand, the ball of talisman was lit. He threw it towards the candle, but it was impossible to throw it from this distance, even if

Can a candle be lit even if it is thrown into it? This is doubtful! This is simply an impossible task!

But if the master’s head is really possessed by a spirit, then it would be possible!

With a "hoo" sound, the fireball went out, but the fireball was too small, and it went out in just a moment. However, the fireball did not touch the candle, but a small fire line directly connected to the candle. The fire line was also very weak.

But as soon as the candle was touched, it immediately burned.

"Wow! It's lit! It's really lit! It's awesome! It's great!" People cheered, followed by warm applause. "Pop! Good! Good! Great! It's so great!"

alright!"

Master felt relieved and stood up and said: "Everyone, this is really great! The Journey to the West is a person who does good deeds. Otherwise, I will definitely not succeed in climbing the ladder to light the sky lanterns. I will commit great crimes and do all kinds of bad things."

No matter what happens, people cannot ascend to Heaven! But climbing the ladder to heaven so smoothly and lighting up sky lanterns to ascend to Heaven proves that those who travel to the West are virtuous people who can go to Heaven to attend the Immortal Banquet in Yaochi!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally sad bereaved family relaxed their brows to some extent. They were also very happy and extremely happy.

"Wow! So awesome! So awesome!" Zhang Ling applauded, and then asked his father: "Dad, what do you think his spell is? This spell is really magical! Hehe! I wonder if dad can teach me this spell?

Huh? Isn’t he really a Bodhisattva? That would be even more magical! If you can invite a Bodhisattva, you won’t be afraid of any monsters! Haha!”

Wei Dao moved his mouth. Of course he understood the mystery, but he couldn't explain it clearly now, so he took Zhang Ling to a deserted place before he could speak.

Wei Dao said: "Zhang Ling, before I tell you, you should know not to expose it! After all, it is difficult for the other party to make a living! In addition, although they are deceiving in doing so, it can make the bereaved family happy and the relatives also happy.

Joy alleviates sadness, which is good to some extent! Especially the reputation of doing good deeds makes people happy, doesn't it?"

Zhang Ling nodded to express his understanding: "Yes! Dad, I understand that even if I understand the mystery, I won't expose it! Just tell me!"

Wei Dao then said: "The candle is a specially made one. If the candle is provided by the bereaved family, he may not be able to light it. This candle is made of white phosphorus kneaded into the candle wick. The ignition point of white phosphorus is extremely low and flammable. It will burn at 30 degrees in humid air.

It can spontaneously ignite. If it is dry air, the burning temperature will be lower! Especially in summer, as soon as it is taken out, it will spontaneously ignite! As for the proportion of candles he rubs into it, that is unknown!"

"White phosphorus emits green light and white smoke. The candle just emitted green light and white smoke, but the Taoist priests used the excuse that the green light is the light of ghosts, and the nearby ghosts also want to take advantage of this east wind."

Already."

"Oh!" Zhang Ling nodded, knowing that if his father didn't explain it, he really wouldn't be able to tell!

Wei Dao continued: "The candle rises by itself. Have you ever seen the magic of floating objects? Magicians can use props and the like to make objects float, as if they are rising into the sky! And this is the principle now! Master, head

There must be a thin line that controls the candle to rise into the air, and he must have practiced hard, otherwise he will not be able to operate it skillfully."

"Once the candle is raised to the top of the bamboo and placed on top of the bamboo, that's it! It's ready to light. The ignition point of white phosphorus is extremely low. The fire you throw does not need to hit the candle. As long as it hits the center line, the thread will burn, and then it will be lit again.

If it burns to the candle, the candle will definitely be lit. This can also destroy the evidence. In this way, it can be seamless!"

When Zhang Ling heard Wei Dao's explanation, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "Wow! It's great! It's amazing!" But when Zhang Ling thought about it, he frowned again and said, "Isn't it bad to lie like this?" Looking at his father,

Waiting for my father's answer.
