Chapter 1891 Lei Zu Baogao
Silver wire descends.
Stirring up the divine court.
The sky was broken by the silver thread, and the barrier of the divine court obviously could not stop the silver thread. The cultivation level of the person behind the silver thread was self-evident.
'Huhu...'
The fluctuations caused by the silver thread shook the divine court.
Regardless of the Three Walls, Four Symbols, Twenty-Eight Constellations, or the Nine Heavens Thunder City, all the fairy mountains and temples were shaking with the Divine Court, and the interior of the Divine Court was in chaos.
'Brush! Brush! Brush!'
The front end of the silver wire swings gently, causing strong winds and clouds to turn over huge waves.
Kun Dao looked up at the nine heavens with an extremely solemn expression. He turned his jade hand over and offered an ancient incense burner.
The incense burner is engraved with the inscription Sanyuan Bahui on the inside, and the phoenix, unicorn, and auspicious beast is carved on the outside. The base of the burner is decorated with curling cloud patterns, with two coiled dragons and dragon claws supporting the ground to support the incense burner.
The incense burner was hung over the altar and shook slightly.
‘Boom!’
The melodious bells sounded.
On both sides of Kun Dao, two great masters were in meditation, refining the elixir power in their bodies. They woke up when they heard the sound. When they saw Kun Dao's posture, they immediately understood, quickly calmed down, stood up excitedly, and ducked behind Kun Dao.
One on the left and the other on the right, they took out their magic swords and stood with their hands tied, their expressions solemn.
The other immortals also drew their magic swords and lined up behind the two great immortals, keeping quiet.
At the same time, the sound of the bell spread to the Zhongmaozhi Altar, and even all the altars within the Liangzhi territory.
The altar masters led their disciples one after another to stand in front of the Dharma altar, subconsciously holding their breath.
The people are still unaware of the sudden change in the sky, and they are all excited and waiting for the True King's order.
Not surprisingly, what follows should be the most grand and significant fasting ritual since the decline of the Taoist court.
The so-called Zhai Jiao is not the same thing. It refers to fasting methods and Jiao rituals respectively.
‘Zhai’ means clean.
The fasting method originated from the time when the ancients were ignorant. Before offering sacrifices to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, in order to show sincerity, one must bathe and change clothes, abstain from drinking alcohol, eating meat, and abstain from sexual intercourse.
This is why there is an old saying: Those who fast are extremely shrewd, and then they can surrender to the gods.
Taoism initially absorbed the fasting method and continued to develop it. From the external form of sacrificial fasting, the more important 'heart fasting' was derived, also known as 'inner fasting'. It was also believed that practicing the precepts would help the fasting of the heart, hence the birth of the fasting method.
Many Taoist precepts.
Those who are fasting are pure and pure.
To be cautious means to be solemnly vigilant.
Taoism regards fasting as the foundation of legislation and the gateway to seek truth. It is believed that fasting can reach heaven and earth, connect the gods, and is conducive to practice.
Later, as the Taoist sect deepened its understanding of heaven, earth and the great road, it became clear that the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth only existed in legends, so they deduced the talisman gods from the talisman Tao, created their own divine court, evolved the fasting method, and applied it to the technique of summoning the talisman gods.
Talisman gods are not ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Before performing the Dharma, there is no need to be as respectful and meticulous as the ancient sacrifices to complete the external fasting method, but it is necessary to fast mentally and be pure and determined.
The word "Jiao" also comes from the ancient sacrificial method, which refers to the sacrificial ceremony when praying to the gods.
Those who make offerings to pray for the blessings of the gods of heaven and earth are almost the same as the meaning of "sacrifice".
However, most of the 'sacrifice' uses sacrificed blood and food as tribute.
When performing the ritual ceremony, prepare incense, flowers, lamps, candles, fruit wine, tea and soup, etc., pay homage to heaven and earth, and pray to the gods.
Since ancient times, fasting and offering rituals have been commensurate with each other, and one must fast before performing the offering rituals.
After the Taoist sect inherited it, it gave it a new meaning and called a series of regulations such as talismans, gang tactics, and incantations when inviting the talisman god "Jiao".
The two go hand in hand, and now the term "Zhai Jiao" refers to Taoist rituals.
After the establishment of Shenting, Taoist monks seldom paid homage to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Zhai Jiao ritual refers to the ritual of summoning Talisman God.
The complexity of the fasting ceremony is related to the status and karma of the summoned talisman god.
‘Whoosh!’
A piece of spiritual incense appeared in the palm of Kun Dao. He inserted the incense into the incense burner. The smoke curled up and the fragrance hit his nostrils.
The smoke surrounds all truths and lingers for a long time.
Kun Dao pinched his fingers to create a magic talisman and dropped it into the incense burner.
The incense burner immediately emitted rays of precious light, which combined with the fragrance and sprinkled on Zhu Zhen's body, as light as water.
It's like the water from heaven washes away the filth and dirt of the world, turning it into a pure white Taoist robe.
This is the first step in the fasting ceremony, which is called the incense ceremony. All fasting practices should be based on the incense and sincerity, starting with twisting incense.
The magical talisman used by Kun Dao is a kind of incense talisman, which is combined with the spiritual incense, and is called the bathing incense talisman.
The incense talisman brings not only external changes to Zhu Zhen, but it can also wash away distracting thoughts in the mind, purify the mind, and refresh the spirit.
I saw Kun Dao moving frequently, and a series of incense sticks of different shapes were inserted into the incense burner, accompanied by different talismans.
Send out fifteen incense talismans in succession.
Kun Dao put away his sword and stood up, and so did Zhu Zhen.
All altars were silent.
Including Kun Dao, all the cultivators are dressed like immortals, holding swords in their hands, with fluttering skirts and elegant demeanor.
At this moment, all practitioners are calm in mind and spirit, without any distracting thoughts.
Kun Dao stood in front of the Dharma altar, his Dharma sword was dancing, a magic talisman was cast in one fell swoop, he danced the sword steps and recited the mantra aloud.
"The Nine Heavens Golden Dragon, the Talisman of Immortality.
Come to court your Majesty and feel carefree and free.
Today I am sending you to the Heavenly Palace.
Urgency is like an edict from the sky!"
The truths in the rear moved accordingly and chanted loudly in unison, as did the other altars.
Under the moon at night, in the territory of Daomen.
One by one, the Taoist monks were dancing in front of the altar, as if they were dancing with swords. Every step they took and every sword dance was very organized and rhythmic, and they advanced and retreated in a measured manner.
The sound of the curse penetrates directly into the fairy palace.
A golden beam of light suddenly erupted from Baishi Zhizhi Altar, shooting towards the sky with no end in sight.
The next moment, the dragon roared loudly.
A golden dragon descends from heaven!
This dragon is not a real dragon, but an illusory shadow, with teeth and claws, and an extraordinary look. It is more powerful than the golden dragon that pulls the chariot of the God of Patrolling the Sky, and more like a real dragon than the great sage of the demon clan!
The golden dragon roared and swooped down.
Seeing that the golden dragon was about to crash into the altar, Kun Dao's expression remained unchanged, and the magic sword was drawn in vain. The golden dragon waved its tail, opened its mouth to hold the magic talisman, and returned to the sky.
At this moment, the Taoist monks in the altars controlled by the Taoist court, such as the Zhongmaozhizhi altar, Jingtan, Dutan, and sub-altars, all heard the dragon's chant.
Golden light flashes in the sky.
Suddenly, all the dragons appeared.
Countless golden dragons harnessed the golden light, descended into the mortal world, and rushed into Dharma altars everywhere.
Within the territory of Daomen Shuangzhi, the sky is filled with golden light, and the outside world is clearly visible.
It's not over yet.
Kun Dao issued another talisman.
"The destiny of Shenxiao Talisman is announced to all the heavens.
Yilong sent the order, and it was in accordance with the order to receive Qi.
Urgency is like an edict from the sky!"
After the curse was completed, the dragon's roar echoed through Daomen Shuangzhi again, but it didn't sound as powerful and powerful as before.
Little golden lights sprinkled from the sky.
In every bit of golden light, there is a golden-scaled dragon, holding orders, rushing into the sect altar of the Taoist sects.
"The order summons the heavenly horse to convey the talisman.
The fastest way is to get there.
Urgency is like an edict from the sky!"
