Chapter 27: The Ritual of the Marriage of Heaven and Man
Liu Yu's face changed slightly: "Wonderful performance? What do you mean? ”
A strange smile appeared on Tan Pingzhi's face: "Last night, the sect leader said that there will be a blessing ceremony in the evening, and after that, there will be a performance of heaven and man. ”
Liu Yu's brows furrowed tightly all of a sudden: "Is it the kind of ** sacrifice?" This is against the law of the country, and as a court official, I will definitely stop it when I see it! ”
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "No, this is different, this is the internal ritual of our Heavenly Master Dao, and it is also to teach our Taoist friends how to conduct qi and qi, blend yin and yang, and finally achieve the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life." What the imperial court prohibits is the evil ritual of killing and sacrificing, but we are allowed to do so. ”
Liu Yuqi said: "How can this be allowed? ”
Tan Pingzhi said with a smile: "Brother Liu also saw that Senior Brother Xu just now, after drinking a small bottle of elixir, his strength immediately increased." If not, how could he have outdone you for the first time? ”
Liu Yu nodded: "I know that the Heavenly Master Dao is dedicated to the dignitaries and nobles with this secret recipe of elixir, in order to seek their protection. But do those children of the family in the court need to become infinitely powerful all of a sudden like Xu Daofu? No, I don't need to. ”
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "No, no, no, Brother Liu misunderstood." This kind of power-enhancing elixir is just one, and even more powerful, it is the kind of thing called Xiaoyaosan, or Wushisan, I don't know if you have heard of it. ”
Liu Yu's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, and his eyebrows were almost twisted into the word "Chuan", and he said with a straight face: "Of course I've heard of this, I heard that this thing can make people's blood flow up, and the pores will spew out heat, and you need to have sex with a woman to vent your fire, if you take advantage of the wine, it will be even more powerful." ”
Not only that, but it can also make people have all kinds of illusions, which can make people who can't have sex suddenly become majestic, like the sky. Many of the children of the gate valve families in Jiankang City just drank bitterly every day, then took this kind of Wushi powder, and then did that absurd and shameless thing. Could it be that these five stone scatters are provided by your Heavenly Master Dao? ”
Tan Pingzhi said with a smile: "How can I know the specific things, as an ordinary Taoist, but the sect leader and the great sacrificial wine have said that our celestial and human intercourse ceremony is no different from those gathering of high-ranking officials and nobles in Jiankang City to commit adultery." I had never seen this thing in the north before, but last night the sect leader said that in order to celebrate the arrival of our northern Taoist friends, this ceremony will be performed to open our eyes. At the same time, we will also pray to the Heavenly Master to bless our health and prosperity, and the land of Jingkou can be smooth and rainy. ”
Liu Yu's heart moved, and he said, "But I'm not your fellow Daoist, how can I go to participate in this kind of ceremony?" ”
Tan Pingzhi came up and said in a low voice: "Yesterday I kept an eye on it, and asked for an extra set of clothes for this kind of Taoist friend, Brother Liu, we are about the same size, you wear my clothes, and you have to be masked when you hold a ceremony at night, I think, as long as you are far away, no one will recognize you." ”
Liu Yuqi said: "Masked? Why face covering? Is this necessary? Didn't you say that this was a publicly permissible ritual? ”
Tan Pingzhi sighed: "Didn't Brother Liu take into account a question, it is this kind of celestial and human intercourse ceremony, who will perform this performance." ”
Liu Yu gasped: "Yes, how could I be negligent about this, I heard that the Hu people in the north use prisoners of war and slaves to carry out this kind of ritual, and those high-ranking families who engage in this kind of collective ** also use their own slaves and maids, you Heavenly Master Dao wants to do this, men are naturally willing, but where do women come from?" ”
Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth: "I heard that such a thing is to make the female members of the Taoist family's family voluntarily dedicate themselves, but to do this, after all, it is against etiquette, even if it is a fellow Taoist, if they know that their wives and daughters have done this, they will also be angry." ”
"In the past, there were cases in the Divine Cult where someone couldn't stand this kind of thing, so they angrily killed the sacrificial wine and their own daughter, who presided over the ceremony. Therefore, the church later established a rule that all those who participated in this ceremony must be masked, and their hearts must be pious, and there must be no lustful thoughts. ”
Liu Yu sneered: "If it's not lewdness, how can there be such a ritual?" I don't understand, what is the picture of showing this kind of harmony between heaven and man in public? Could it be that the immortals of your sect like this mouthful? ”
Tan Pingzhi's face flushed slightly: "This, it's not what I and other low-level Taoists know, but the sacrificial wine we have said before that this matter is to teach ordinary Taoists to be familiar with the art of the house, after all, many of us have not even seen the spring palace map since we were children, and the sex is just for the sake of having children. ”
"Second, this kind of yin and yang mating ritual can make people strengthen their bodies, conduct qi and regulate the five elements of yin and yang, achieve the effect of prolonging life and benefiting goodness, and even practice to the extreme, you can wash the meridians and change the marrow, and feather the flying immortals."
Liu Yu sneered: "Do you believe this? Can you really become an immortal by cultivating immortals? Brother Tan, it's not that I'm saying bad things about your Heavenly Master's Dao, but have you ever seen one of the real immortals who can become immortals? ”
Tan Pingzhi hooked the corners of his mouth: "Brother Liu, although you and I hit it off at first sight and call each other brothers, I also know that you have always had an opinion on our Divine Sect because of Lu Wei's matter, but I also ask you to respect me a little." ”
"My family has been a believer in the Church of God for generations in the north, and my parents and grandparents also had the help and support of my fellow brothers to get through those difficult years together. This time, when my whole family went south, didn't it also respond to the call of the sect leader? ”
Liu Yu sighed: "It's not that I mean to say bad things about your Heavenly Master's Dao, but this kind of flying immortal becoming a god is originally vain and can't be counted." If you really believe in this and work hard for it all your life, if you can't achieve results, won't you be very disappointed? ”
Tan Pingzhi laughed: "This kind of thing of soaring into immortals is to talk about immortal fate, the so-called do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, have hope for a lifetime, work hard for it, and in the end, even if you don't succeed, you can have no regrets, how can you do it, just accept your fate?" ”
"I have seen my father with my own eyes, and when my eldest father passed away, his face was still full of red light, and his eyes were full of hope, saying that he could not cultivate immortals in this life, but he would continue to walk this path in the next life. This is our Tan family's belief in the Divine Religion, people have faith, only then can there be hope and hope, Brother Liu, do you understand? ”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "In that case, then why does Lu Wei, who is the great sacrificial wine of your sect, not believe that he can become an immortal, but wants to gather believers to rebel and make trouble?" Could it be that he took the initiative to seek death, in order to dissolve the corpse and ascend to the immortal? ”
