Chapter 109: Master of Yin and Yang
The voice was very small, but the five gentlemen heard it, except for Rong Dachang, the other four could hardly help laughing.
Rong Dachang had the heart to talk back but didn't dare, so he could only hold back.
I watched it with a dark joy in my heart. "Boy, if you dare to cause such a big deal for me, if you don't clean you up, I really can't stand you."
The four masters ignored me, but they all seemed to hear my words, and glanced at me a few times as if unintentionally, with disdain and a hint of laughter in their eyes.
Well, in the eyes of these four people, I am a veritable junior, or a casual cultivator, no strange person condescending to put on a shelf.
I really can't compare to the shelf, not only because of the qualifications, but also because of the pomp.
Chang He Dao Chang was followed by a Taoist boy, holding a peachwood sword and carrying a leather bag used for rituals.
The old monk Hongji presided over more imposingly, and there were two small novices with their heads bowed and eyebrows standing beside them.
The apprentice next to Mr. Feng Xiang was older than me, and he was looking at me unconvinced.
And Luo Ying was also followed by a female apprentice, blinking with big eyes, looking curiously at the masters in the room. The female apprentice is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with bangs, and her appearance is medium and upper, not particularly outstanding, but she is young and lively.
Look, everyone has disciples and juniors to follow and wait, what about me? Alone, five unreliable gentlemen gathered around him, no matter how you look at it, there is no pomp at all, and he is completely defeated in this regard.
The so-called, the sedan chair has to be carried by everyone, and the sedan chair on my side can't be lifted. was immediately thrown out of the eight streets, and then, I hated Rong Dachang even more, otherwise, how could I sit here like a pins and needles and feel uncomfortable?
Despite this, I feel a lot more relieved in my heart, because of the warning given by the life guard in advance, I feel that the omen is not good, and I have been worried, but I have been here for a long time, and I have not found anything wrong here, and there are four masters present, and I feel a peace of mind for no reason.
Perhaps, this is also the effect of the power of numbers.
It doesn't matter, as long as there is no chaos, as for the debate or something, who am I afraid of? These four have been famous for a long time, I am not ashamed to lose to them, but it is a blockbuster to win, I have been low-key for too long, should I be high-profile......?
I thought so.
I don't go up to talk in a hurry, the four masters are on the shelf, naturally they won't say anything to a junior first, and they will show off their skills in front of the old man of the Rong family for a while, so it's better to save your strength and wait for a while.
Whether it's a Taoist temple or a temple, to put it bluntly, who doesn't lack money? Who would refuse to make money properly?
"The Rong family is indeed rich!" I looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling of the reception room and thought to myself.
The reception room uses a duplex building copper three-headed chandelier, take a look at the fine lines on it, you only know that this is a good thing made by hand, such customized, the price is in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, that is, the Rong family uses it, and the average family uses seven or eight hundred are considered luxury.
I couldn't help but think of the sentence that has been recited through the ages, 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road', and sighed in my heart.
People are born with different fates, some people work hard for a meal but don't get much, and some sit back and enjoy their success, not to mention, but also bully! I turned my head to look at Rong Dachang, and scolded several times in my heart for 'loser' before I was relieved.
The fundamental reason is that my life is too bitter, no parents don't say, the only two relatives are now only a little sister left, and the master is gone, this thought, it's really sad to come from, sometimes I complain about why God tossed me like this, can't I do it in my last life? Isn't it too much to be punished like this in this life......?
Thinking of these inexplicably, I was extremely bored, so I poured myself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, without looking at the four masters.
"You don't want to deal with me, I don't want to contact you, it's not bad to be so clear."
Squeak!
The door was pushed open, and several people walked in with an old man in a robe and a horse coat, this old man was on the fat side, and his face was a little gray, thinking that the death of his eldest daughter was a heavy blow to him.
This old man is in his eighties, the deceased is only in his forties, and he gave birth to the first child in his forties.
This time, the four masters didn't stand up, they all stood up, and I followed suit.
The old man had a lot of age spots on his chubby face, and while talking to the big guy, he sat on a chair with his son and son-in-law waiting.
The old man is very strong, and he has been signaling Rong Zhong and his son-in-law Dong Cheng to let go, he can do it himself.
But the two of them are naturally not at ease, and if they want to show filial piety in front of outsiders, they are naturally 'caring', and they stuff the old man into a chair, and they are separated from each other, very much like that.
I saw a lot of displeasure in the old man's eyes, but he just endured it and didn't have a seizure, thinking about it, he knew the meaning of these two 'showing filial piety', so he could only cooperate.
It's a funny scene.
Rong Dachang obediently stood behind his father, and the four gentlemen followed him, except for the five masters and the old man, who has the qualifications to sit down?
The old man sat down, and he vigorously asked the 'masters' to sit down, and the four masters and I sat down slowly.
Not far behind Dong Cheng stood three young people, who were his children, all looking at us with curious expressions.
It feels like I'm paying more attention to me, maybe I'm the youngest, or maybe I'm sitting among these people and showing my handsomeness, so those two beautiful girls will secretly look at me ......?
I thought to myself a little smugly.
"Ahem...... the bones of the old decay are becoming more and more useless, let the masters wait for a long time, sin, sin." The old man spoke very politely, and his opening remarks were very familiar, and undoubtedly, he was an older fritter.
"Where did the donor come from? The last time I saw the donor was three years ago, and when I met again, it was on such an occasion, alas, the world is impermanent, and the donor will mourn and change, immeasurable Tianzun. Chang He said comforting words after the head of the Dao Chief.
"Thank you, alas, this is fate......
The old man's eyes were red, and he seemed to want to cry, too, the eldest daughter must be his treasure, and now that he is like this, it is strange if he is not sad.
"Amitabha, Tan Yue don't be sad, be careful of your body and bones. A hundred years of life have passed, who can escape the final destination? As long as the heart has the Buddha's mind, he will go to the Pure Land of Bliss in the West Heaven, Tan Yue needs to understand this truth, if you want to open some, good, good. ”
The old monk was also very good at saying comforting words, and people like him, who were used to doing Dharma things, said these words too easily, and it was just a routine.
"After listening to the words of the host master, the old man was very relieved ......."
The old man kept nodding, his face looked much better, it seems that this person believes in these very much, and Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism believe it, otherwise, there will be no Taoist priests, monks, and onmyoji invited together.
He doesn't care if there is a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, you don't have a good relationship with each other, it's not his old man's business, people like to believe in it, who cares?
I can only smile bitterly in my heart.
Then, Mr. Fengxiang and Luo Ying from Maoshan Daomen both said a lot of comforting words, yes, I also have to keep up with the trend, so I can only follow a few words.
It's nothing more than 'after death is not the end, there is also an afterlife, and after doing the Dharma, the deceased can be reincarnated, and the next life will be better, rich and rich' and so on.
Anyway, how to say it to the ear.
Besides, those of us who eat food in the underworld really understand the truth that 'people have an afterlife', so it is not deliberately deceitful, this can alleviate the grief of the family of the sufferer, and we can complete the task more easily, why not?
Otherwise, the breath of grief is too heavy, and being in this environment will also be a great torture for our minds.
Even if this is a greeting, after the old man motioned for everyone to use tea, he brought it up, wanting to hear the opinions of the masters on his eldest daughter's transcendent rituals, after all, the strange death of a person, not to mention the death, and the miserable one, this Dharma matter is extremely important, as for the waste of money or something, there is no need to think about it at all. The Rong family can bear it with all their might, and they can do a good job in the law.
Several masters nodded in agreement, and then looked at the eldest Changhe Daoist and Hongji presiding.
After ranking seniority, we have to look at age, there is no doubt that these two older ones are qualified to speak first, and I am the youngest, so I can only add to the bottom.
"Master Hongji, let's talk about it first." Chang Tsuru is very polite.
"The Taoist chief has the most research on the transcendent law, and the old man has been famous for a long time, so it is better for the Taoist to talk about it first." Master Hongji naturally had to be polite.
"Where, where, just talk about the age, the master is a few years older than me, according to the etiquette, you should also ask the master to speak first, as the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, the master should not be embarrassed by the poor ......." Chang Hedao responded with a smile and a smile.
Mr. Feng Xiang, Luo Ying and I all sat quietly and did not speak, and there were many rules on the road, which everyone tacitly had to abide by.
"The Taoist chief said so, then the old man will talk about it first, so as to throw bricks and lead jade, Amitabha."
"Poor people listen to ......."
These two people are very good at what you say, very well-behaved, and my head is big when I listen to them.
If I hadn't clearly remembered that this is the 21st century, I would have doubted that I had gone back to ancient times, it was too traditional, right? It's so complicated to go through the motions, but fortunately, the corpses outside won't run away by themselves, otherwise, when they are done humbling, winter will be over.......
I couldn't stop slandering.
"Lao Wei believes that it is necessary to hold a 'Dharma Realm Saint Fan Water and Land Pudu Lent Victory Meeting' for the souls of the dead, that is, the water and land dojo, which requires seven days and nights of non-stop ...... to set up a fast to worship the ...... of the souls who have gone beyond resentment."
The old monk was not polite, and motioned for the little novice to move his seat forward, and after he sat down, he talked eloquently.
