Chapter Eighty-Six: New Year's Greetings
The first day of the first month is the day of the Daomen Tianla, which is the day when the five emperors will meet in the east Jiuqi blue sky.
The Five Emperors, that is, the Five Old Gods. According to the "Taiqing Jade Book", these five emperors are the Eastern Qingling Shi Lao Cang Emperor Jiu Qi Tianjun, the Western Haoling Huang Lao Bai Emperor Qi Qi Tianjun, the Southern Danling Zhen Lao Red Emperor Sanqi Tianjun, the Northern Five Ling Xuan Lao Black Emperor Wu Qi Tianjun, and the Central Yuan Ling Elder Yellow Emperor Yi Qi Tianjun.
On the day of Tianla, the five emperors calibrated the spirit of the people, the length of the time limit, and the longevity of the year, therefore, when the big fasting Jiao, sacrifice to the ancestors and the gods to be blessed, can prolong life.
Zhao Ran wore a full set of Zhaijiao robes, led all the Taoist children in the scripture hall, with the cooperation of senior Taoist priests such as Gu Duguan, Li Zhike, Zuo Xunzhao, etc., to pray to the tablets of the Five Emperors, and guide hundreds of pious people who spontaneously participated in the Jiao Festival to recite the "Treasure of the Five Emperors and Five Old Gods" together.
"The ancestor of yin and yang, the root of heaven and earth. Ordered by the Jade Emperor, the mantra is in the Lingbao. Picking books and brocade seals, exhaling the essence of the five qis; Xiao Ge was in the Hanling Palace, flying in the Ziwei Palace. Refining the body shape and driving away demons. Great compassion and great wishes, great sage and great mercy, five spirits and five old gods, save people and protect their lives!"
After chanting three times, I heard fairy music resounding from the sky, and it seemed to whisper in everyone's ears.
The believers were amazed, and saw the tablet of the five emperors in the hall shining brightly, and the soft light shrouded the entire White Horse Courtyard, which made people feel refreshed, peaceful and happy.
Zhao Ran was a little regretful, after his talisman and Qingzi worship table reached the sky, he would have done so much at most, and he wanted to invite the phantom clone of the Five Emperors as he did when he ascended to the throne, which was really a difficult and profound instrument that Zhao Ran could not reach at the moment.
However, on this matter, Zhao Ran faintly felt that for the Taoist priests and hundreds of believers who participated in the Jiao Festival, it was also beneficial to their physical and mental health, and the effect was not small, and it was not in vain to waste their own hard work.
In fact, there is no need for Zhao Ran to speculate, just by looking at the face of the old woman who is supported by the two brothers Baozhong and Xizhong in the believers, he knows that she must have benefited a lot.
After the Jiao was finished, Zhao Ran sat on the throne and stroked the top of the believers who came to offer incense one by one.
This kind of one-on-one "daytime manifestation" is the most inspiring to credibility, and of course it is also the most mana-consuming, and at the end of the day, Abbot Zhao is tired enough.
When it was the turn of Baozhong Lao Niang, Zhao Ran not only stroked the top, but also carefully checked the pulse, and said warmly: "It's already good, but you have to pay more attention, although it is cold today, you must also pay attention to walking, activate the blood and blood, and walk inside the house if you can't do it outside the house; What should you eat more, I will write you a recipe back, keep Baozhong and Xizhong in mind, and give your wife more to eat. ”
A family of three knelt in front of Zhao Ran and kowtowed three times before getting up and leaving.
Next, until the Lantern Festival, the Taoist priests of the White Horse Academy held nine times of Jiao in a row, three of which were to go to the three Ming army camps of the Chewa River Valley, Yuedu, and Anqu to pray for the soldiers, and two times to run the family house rituals for the Luo Dong family and other two big families in Hongyuan City.
Nine times of Jiao, Zhao Ran personally presided over four times, which can be described as extremely busy. Zhumeng told Zhao Ran that he had also presided over two times, and Zhumeng claimed that the impact of the two Jiao festivals was extremely far-reaching, which made Wuji Academy's "prestige shocked", including many scattered cultivators who came to Wuji Yuan to participate in such "grand events".
It's good that Zhu Meng is happy, and Zhao Ran has added a little confidence to his persistence as an abbot.
Since the third year of junior high school, Zhao Ran has taken the time to run to many places to greet the following people:
Jade Emperor Pavilion Longyang Patriarch, Dongfang Tianshi, Chu Tianshi, Zhu Qigu, Dongfang Li, etc., by the way, Dongfang Jing is still traveling outside, and he will not go home during the New Year, which makes Dongfang Tianshi very unhappy.
The elders of Huayun Pavilion, Uncle Lin Zhijiao of the Asking Valley, especially Uncle Lin here, Zhao Ran sat for an extra hour, reported to her in detail the progress of the construction of the Dajun Cave Heaven, and agreed with Uncle Lin on the approximate time for the relocation of the Asking Sect - around April.
At the same time, there are also Xuanyuan Guan Zhao Yunlou, Baoning Mansion Song Zhiyuan, Metropolitan Mansion Lu Tengen and other close Shifang Jungle High Road. Of course, Zhao Ran originally wanted to recognize the door of Liu Yunwei, the abbot of Xuanyuanguan, but Liu Yunwei went home for the New Year, his home was in Jiujiang, and his family had not moved to Sichuan Province with him, so Zhao Ran had to give up. As for Ye Yunxuan, Zhao Ran didn't bother to pay attention to it at all.
Of course, Zhao Ran will definitely not forget the two bosses in charge of the Tianhe Palace Du Tenghui and the Governor Xia of the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion.
In the same process, the commander of the Song Domain, Wei Cao, once again went to the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan, and the Governor of Xia was meritorious in the incident of Ning Deshou's arrest of the party rebels in Hongyuan, and he was approved and reported to the Songhe Palace for strong recommendation.
Originally, Songhe Palace had the right to directly approve it, but last year Du Teng would be frightened by the bow bird, in order to avoid suspicion, this article was rejected after submitting this article to Xuanyuan Temple, although Du Teng would like to approve it this year, but had to follow the precedent and submit it to Xuanyuan Temple again.
This is also a helpless move, but if there is a handling opinion from above, you can no longer be self-dictatorated, so what to report, what not to report, what you can be responsible for, what you can't take responsibility for, you must think about it before you think clearly. Once it has been submitted once, it will be difficult to get it back if the authority to approve the reply is handed over.
Du Teng will be very annoyed by this, but chagrin is chagrin, and the report has to be reported.
But don't be afraid, Zhao Ran is now waiting for the official letter from Xuanyuanguan to solicit opinions, and his side will definitely not be stuck anymore at that time.
In addition to paying New Year's greetings to the above-mentioned people, Zhao Ran also gave full play to the role of flying talismans, and specially paid New Year's greetings to the seniors, relatives and friends of various divisions.
His current contact list is quite high-end and high-grade, from the Great Heavenly Master and the Great True Person, to the True Master of the General Temple, down to the elders of the pavilions, the senior brothers, the junior sisters, and even the scattered cultivators of the Long'an Mansion, etc., take it out and take a look, no less than seven or eight hundred. If they all send flying charms to pay New Year's greetings, Zhao Ran will have to take out a few thousand taels of silver, even if he is a local tyrant, it is too extravagant to pay New Year's greetings like this, and he can't afford it anyway.
Therefore, he streamlined and streamlined again, and finally found a hundred people, and spent five hundred taels of silver to complete the long-cherished dream of flying talismans.
From this point on, every New Year's Day, the sky of the Ming Dynasty is full of white light flashing, every year just to spend on the New Year's flying charms, no less than 100,000 pieces, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, of which the pavilion public funds pay for half of the Tai, so that the general view has to specially issue the "New Year's Festival during the strict economy and self-discipline edict", which can stop this trend, this is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
