Chapter 55 The Dao Gate is strict and attentive

This Qingzhang Mountain is not very far, and at noon the next day, we arrived at the foot of Qingzhang Mountain.

Yang Feiyun took Ge Guangmu to the Evergreen Palace, which is the famous Shifang Jungle in Qingzhang Mountain, which is used to entertain outsiders.

Yang Feiyun told Ge Guangmu that this gate is divided into two types: the Descendants Temple and the Ten Directions Jungle.

The temple of descendants is mostly passed down, everything in this door is owned by the master and apprentice, this abbot is selected from the oldest Taoist priest in the door, of course, it can also be designated by the previous abbot on his deathbed. Taoist priests in the temple can recruit apprentices, but they can't pass on the precepts, nor can they hang bells and hanging boards, and they have never accepted foreign Taoist priests.

The descendants of the seven major sects of the descendant temple are highly respected, and if you want to learn the martial arts of the seven major sects, you must enter the descendant temple.

However, the descendants of the temple is not so easy to enter, because this is to open the sect to be introduced, and then the abbot and the elder agreed, in the designation to a certain door, and then according to the generation to take a legal name, at this time can only be called the master, after three years of assessment, when the view feels that this person is a material that can be made, this will hold a grand crown ceremony.

In this way, this person can be regarded as an inner disciple, and he can teach the mantra of the heart method of the sect.

Of course, this is also the general situation, in fact, if it is a high-ranking son, or a famous young man in the rivers and lakes, as long as there is no notoriety, or there is any lawsuit, there is no need for three years of assessment.

Inside this inner door is seniority, the rules are very strict, can not be crossed, if you commit, you may be abolished martial arts, expelled from the division.

The Ten Directions Jungle is different, in these Ten Directions Jungle, whether it is a disciple of this sect or not, as long as the conditions are met, you can live here.

However, the Taoist priests here can only receive ordination, not disciples.

Although the rules of the Ten Directions Jungle are not as strict as those of the Descendants Temple, there are still some rules.

The most famous is the hanging bell hanging board, the sound of the bell plate is the daily work and rest of the order, the evening drum and morning bell, such is the case.

Yang Feiyun said that Ge Guangmu would know when the time came, and now they had to place orders first.

Yang Feiyun took Ge Guangmu into the jungle of the Ten Directions, and when he arrived in front of the No. room, Yang Feiyun shouted: "The master of the No. 1 room is merciful. ”

The Taoist priest inside walked out, and after the two sides saluted each other, the Taoist priest asked, "Where did the old cultivator come from?" ”

"Kunlun is coming."

"Old cultivator immortal surname?"

"Mu Yi Yang."

"Where is the old and decayed cultivation treasure temple?"

"Pure Palace."

"What do you call the old cultivators?"

"Fly up and down into the clouds."

"Have you ever been to Honkanyama before?"

"Never."

Yang Feiyun dealt with them one by one, and then the person in the room asked Yang Feiyun to recite the scriptures such as Lao Tzu's Thoughts and the Western Ascension Sutra, and Yang Feiyun also memorized it backwards.

The Taoist priest looked at Yang Feiyun, and still doubted in his heart, according to the prestige of Taoism, this wanderer must prepare futons, shovels, edge scoops, chimes and other items.

Moreover, these wandering Taoists are all old Taoists, and this young Taoist priest is not allowed to participate in the wandering.

If it is said that it is ordained, it is also a long time ago.

Yang Feiyun knew that he was puzzled, and told this Fang Daoist that he was here to place an order, and Ge Guangmu was here to receive ordination, because it was a temporary intention, so he did not register in advance.

The number room Taoist finally tested some of Yang Feiyun's Taoist scriptures, and saw that Yang Feiyun was familiar with the classics, so he didn't pursue it more, and began to write the number list and number plate, and marked the word large.

After Yang Feiyun respectfully took it, he took Ge Guangmu to the guest room, and this Taoist priest also saluted first, then asked, and finally shouted: "Knowing that the master will send the order." ”

The master of the hall took people to the kitchen, went to see the Taoist priest of the stove room, and told the Taoist priest of the stove room that there were two new people now, and when he cooked, he prepared two more people.

The next step was to arrange the accommodation, and the rules of the jungle were announced.

After the rooster crows in the morning, the bell and the drum head ring the bell and hit the board on time, and then the Taoist priest must get up, which is called Kaijing.

The next step is to use the buckle teeth and wash up, and then you have to go and clean the garden according to the division of labor.

Whether it's cold or hot, it's sunny or cloudy, and you can't snooze.

The next step is to go to the temple to hold a morning class to chant sutras, and after the morning class, go to the dining hall for breakfast.

After breakfast, there is a certain amount of rest, and after the rest, it is time to study the teachings, or learn spells, or help with the affairs of Guanzhong.

When you have lunch, you should also gather in an orderly manner.

From lunch to dinner, it's still the same as before, doing things in the morning.

After dinner, they will go to the temple to recite sutras and do evening classes.

After nightfall, there will be the sound of the cloud board, which is to stop the silence, and when the board is played again, all the Taoist priests must all fall asleep, and they must not talk or laugh.

After the rules are introduced, it is the last procedure, the transfer order.

This transfer order is based on Yang Feiyun's previous position in the Taoist temple, to arrange what he does in the ten jungles, and finally Yang Feiyun became a tea fruit deacon to help manage the tea fruit.

Next, the hall master didn't say much, and soon it was lunch, and Yang Feiyun told Ge Guangmu that there were rules for eating at this door.

When the bell rang, Yang Feiyun took Ge Guangmu to the courtyard in front of the dining hall and stood in two rows.

The two rows had to hold their arms together, like wooden men.

Then the deacon went to invite the abbot to come to the fast, at this time, the hall master went to the kitchen to bring out the offerings prepared in advance, a small bowl of rice, a small bowl of water, a pair of chopsticks, two incense notes, put it in the offering plate, raised the offering plate, as high as the eyebrows, passed through the middle of the two rows of Taoist priests, and then the Taoist could let go of his arms.

This offering enters the hall and is enshrined in front of the statue of the spiritual ancestor, and after the ceremony is completed, the two scripture masters enter the hall in turn, followed by the abbot, the attendant, the deacon, and the Taoist congregation.

This crowd comes in two rows together, the left foot on the left is advanced, the right foot on the right is advanced, these two people must become sideways opposite to each other, after entering the door, the two people turn around and stand side by side at the same time, the action is the same upward bow, this salute is completed, before they can be seated.

Ge Guangmu is the bride on the sedan chair, or the first time, so he is naturally busy.

Because he was a newcomer, everyone didn't accuse him, and after Ge Guangmu took his seat, the head of the hall shouted to the public to fast, and everyone began to eat.

Ge Guangmu looked at the two bowls in front of him, and saw that the rice bowl on the left and the vegetable bowl on the right, and the chopsticks were placed horizontally in front of the two bowls.

After the fast begins, there is a hall that patrols the left and right sides and helps them to refill their meals at any time.

Ge Guangmu heard Yang Feiyun say that you can't talk casually during this meal, you can't make a noise with the dishes and chopsticks, and you can't sit up casually.

If you find that there is millet and slave in the rice, you can only eat it with the skin removed, or you can pick it out secretly and not let others know.

This can't be eaten too fast, not too slowly. This chopsticks and chopsticks can't be in front of the division commander.

If you want to add food, look at the gyodo, then point to the bowl with your chopsticks and draw a circle inside the bowl, and the gyodo will know. At this time, it is important not to exchange loud voices, or to be impatient.

After eating, the chopsticks should be placed in the middle of the two bowls, and when everyone has finished eating, the waiter stands up and shouts, "Everyone is fasting." The head of the hall sent the offering tray back to the kitchen, and then the people exited as they had entered the hall.

Ge Guangmu returned to the room with Yang Feiyun, and then Yang Feiyun continued to talk to Ge Guangmu about the rules.

Before Ge Guangmu, he was willful and natural, and no one could control it, but he suddenly arrived at the Taoist temple, and when he saw so many rules in the temple, he was a little bored in his heart.

Yang Feiyun told Ge Guangmu that Ge Guangmu's mind is that he has been wandering for too long, and he has been like a wild horse, which is difficult to take back, and now he brought Ge Guangmu to this view, just hoping that Ge Guangmu can restrain his heart, and after Ge Guangmu can be self-disciplined, he is taking Ge Guangmu to Hongchen for a while.

Ge Guangmu remembered that all the things in the past were caused by no one to persuade him, and now that he is in the Taoist temple, if he can take back his mind, it is also a good thing.

Ge Guangmu began to try in it, and Yang Feiyun asked Ge Guangmu to write a letter and have it delivered to Zhang Longqing's store, so that Zhang Longqing could feel at ease.

After Ge Guangmu finished writing the letter, he cultivated with peace of mind, and in the first day or two, he just felt uncomfortable, but after a long time, Ge Guangmu felt a strange feeling.

Seeing that Ge Guangmu adapted to the life of the Daomen so quickly, Yang Feiyun sighed, this Ge Guangmu is really a person who is related to the Dao, and it is not in vain for him to come down the mountain in this way.

Time is like water, years are like smoke, and it's autumn.

And in the afternoon of this day, Ge Guangmu was listening to Yang Feiyun's explanation of the Taoist scriptures, and a knowing guest came and said that someone was looking for him.

Ge Guangmu went to the guest hall and saw his uncle Zhang Longqing.

When Zhang Longqing saw Ge Guangmu, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward, held Ge Guangmu's hand, and said to Ge Guangmu: "Nephew, you, you are ......"

Ge Guangmu said that he was enlightened by Yang Feiyun and was ready to devote himself to cultivation.

Zhang Longqing was originally a person who burned incense and worshiped Buddha, but he did not have much resistance to this matter, and he asked Ge Guangmu whether he was a Taoist priest or a monk.

Ge Guangmu said that he was a Taoist priest in the fire house, and Yang Feiyun said that he still had to be raised in a high hall, and it was not suitable for him to become a monk now, and now he was in the Taoist temple, mainly to collect his heart.

After Zhang Longqing heard this, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Ge Guangmu's face did not have the frivolity of the past.

He thought to himself that his nephew's family has a big business, and he doesn't need to be an official of Lao Shizi to earn money to support his family, and now that he has come to cultivate the Tao and keep the family business, then even if he is a monk, it is nothing.

Zhang Longqing asked him when he would go home, and Ge Guangmu said that after he took care of himself, he would naturally go back, three or five years long, and if it was short, he would go back next year.

Zhang Longqing nodded, and Ge Guangmu's conversation was a little different from before, thinking that this was a good thing, so when he left, he visited the abbot and donated fifty taels of silver to the incense money.
