Chapter 433: Heartbreaking
Everything is fine, the only fly in the ointment is that there is an extra guy named Zhu Ping'an in the crowd!
Yuan Wei was on the way to Xiyuan, as long as he thought that Zhu Ping'an was going to Xiyuan together, it was like accidentally swallowing a fly while eating delicacies from the mountains and seas!
Still, it's time to show off his face! Let him understand his position, and think that he has written a few patchwork food pie poems and is self-righteous!
Yuan Wei made up his mind, this time Zhai Jiao must write another green word that caused a sensation in the audience!
Zhu Ping'an didn't have so many things to worry about, some were just curious, curious about what Emperor Jiajing's Zhaiqiao looked like, what was the scale, and curious about how Zhaiqiao was held. Walking on the way to Xiyuan, Zhu Ping'an whispered with Zhang Siwei to exchange each other's views, and unconsciously arrived at Xiyuan.
At this moment, Xiyuan is smoky, I don't know how many incense candles there are in Xiyuan incinerator on this day, it is estimated that it has to be calculated by the volume of the car. Fortunately, the air quality in Daming is good, otherwise the PM2.5 index would have to be increased by burning incense.
The various guards and sergeants on duty in the West Garden are all wrapped in an apricot yellow cloth strip on the blade of the weapon, in order to go to the heavens and do not kill, the layout in the West Garden is a bit like a temple Taoist temple, Taoist statues, incense burners, all kinds of talismans, etc., if it is the first time to come, it will definitely be mistaken for coming to the Taoist temple.
Li Mo led Zhu Ping'an and them to Xiyuan, and after handing them over to a middle-aged Taoist priest, he went to Pinglu, who was on duty in the cabinet, and Li Mo looked down on Zhaiqiao from his bones.
Now the party is in charge, and the law and discipline are relaxed. The Holy Immortal Cultivator has not been in the court for more than ten years, and there are thousands of major national events, how can it be solved by cultivating immortals?! If cultivating immortals can really become immortals. How could the previous Heavenly Master Shao Yuanjie, who was treated as a teacher by the saint, pass away, Shao Yuanjie will inevitably hang up, what is the effort of the saint. I really don't understand, the saint is so smart, even if he doesn't go to the court, he can hold the government in his hands, but why can't he see through such a shallow truth!
Li Mo sighed several times in his heart, shook his head and returned to the Pinglu where he was on duty. Close the window, out of sight and out of mind about things such as fasting outside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment. The Master is discussing with the Holy Lord about Zhaiqiao. The middle-aged Taoist priest waved the Buddha dust and said to Zhu Ping'an and the others, signaling Zhu Ping'an and the others to wait for a while.
Zhu Ping'an noticed that the gossip pattern on the middle-aged Taoist priest's robe had other lines, all of which were outlined with gold wire, which was really extravagant. Such a robe would have to be made with at least a few taels of gold!
When the middle-aged Taoist priest spoke. Emperor Jiajing and Tao Zhongwen in the Sanqing Palace have already set various details of this Zhaiqiao, and Tao Zhongwen has already gotten up from the gossip mat to salute Emperor Jiajing.
"Then there will be a potter." Emperor Jiajing also got up from the gossip mat.
Emperor Jiajing was very polite to Tao Zhongwen, and even if Yan Song saw this scene here, he would definitely be jealous. Emperor Jiajing actually used "teacher" to call Tao Zhongwen, and Emperor Jiajing only called Yan Song the word Yan Song.
In addition, if Yan Song wants to see Emperor Jiajing, he has to ask for instructions, and this Tao Zhongwen can enter directly when he sees Emperor Jiajing, and he doesn't need to pass it. And every time he came in, Emperor Jiajing would give him a seat.
With this level of courtesy, there is almost no second person in this dynasty.
While waiting outside, Zhu Ping'an also observed the arrangement of the altar. Oh, to be exact, it should be the "dojo", around the dojo there are many Taoist priests dressed in golden silk outline robes, they hold a variety of magic weapons in their hands, apricot yellow flags, chao jian, ruyi, jade book, jade seal, sword, order flag, order arrow, token, etc., these magic weapons are all golden, and all the places where metal is used are made of gold!
Looking at this scene, Zhu Ping'an almost couldn't help but want to knock them on a few sticks!
With so much gold, how much does this Zhaiqiao ceremony cost, and all the blood and sweat of the people of the Ming Dynasty are used to do this?! How good it is to spend on the common people!
And that's not all!
The dojo is very wide, a total of nine altars, one of which is the main altar, the other eight altars are smaller, the altar is a high platform built with civil engineering, used to communicate with the heavens, of which the main altar is almost seven or eight meters high, and there are incense burners, candlesticks, vases, incense slips and other offerings, as well as flags, charms, chapter tables, water and hand stoves, etc., scattered and scattered nearly a hundred!
In addition to the altar, there are also nine hundred and eighty-one incense burners in the dojo, each of which is half a person high, and there is a long incense stick more than one meter long that is the thickness of a baby's arm, and the smoke is filled, and there are several kinds of medicinal herbs and spices in the smell, which shows that the price of this incense is definitely very valuable.
What a waste!
How good it is to do something practical for the people with the money spent on this fasting! The silver of the white flower is burned like this! Wasted!
The more magnificent the scale of this Zhaiqiao, the more distressed Zhu Ping'an became.
When Zhu Ping'an was heartbroken, he heard the voice of Immeasurable Tianzun, and then saw an old Taoist priest with a white beard and a childish face wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe coming slowly, and all the Taoist priests in the dojo saluted the old Taoist from afar, and several middle-aged Taoist priests with high status greeted him and listened to the old Taoist priest's orders.
Although the distance is far away, Zhu Ping'an can almost see the appearance of the old Dao clearly, and there is a feeling of fairy wind and bones, almost the appearance of the old fairy often described in the book, with a fluttering white beard and a strong spirit.
This kind of magic stick style is comparable to the old god stick that Zhu Ping'an met on the bank of the Qinhuai River and gave Zhu Ping'an two books.
However, what can be confirmed is that this Tao Tianshi is not the old Taoist that Zhu Ping'an met last time on the banks of the Qinhuai River! This Tao Tianshi is older, and his body is more imposing.
Hey, cultivate your Tao in the deep mountains and recite your scriptures! I can't stand your toss like this! Speaking of which, the high-rise mountain of Daming overturned after more than 100 years, to a certain extent, these Taoist priests in the palace also "contributed" to a force!
Zhu Ping'an looked at Tao Tianshi from a distance and pouted secretly!
After Tao Tianshi in the distance finished his instructions, he went to another palace, about to share a bath and prepare for fasting.
After several Taoist priests who listened to Tao Tianshi's instructions came back, they led Zhu Ping'an and others to the altar, a Taoist priest with a Hanlin, and the two were in charge of an altar, and went to the altar to write green words, plaques, couplets, and so on.
Yuan Wei should be a frequent visitor to Zhaiqiao, these Taoist priests also know each other, and there is a Taoist priest who is about the appearance of a senior brother who led Yuan Wei to the largest main altar.
So, Yuan Wei, who had ascended to the highest and largest altar, looked at Zhu Ping'an, who had ascended to the small altar not far away, and raised his eyebrows proudly, revealing a proud look! (To be continued.) )
