MTL - Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion-Chapter 16 Transmission Ceremony, True Succession of Dragon and Tiger

Chapter 16 16. Transmission Ceremony, True Biography of Dragon and Tiger

 The official date of the ceremony is January 15th.

 But the ceremony officially started on the evening of the 14th the day before.

Lei Jun didn’t understand the process of the Taoist transmission ceremony on Blue Star before he traveled through it.

But in the Tianshi Mansion in this world, one of the tasks of every Taoist boy in the Taoist courtyard is to memorize the procedures and rituals of the ceremony by heart.

 On the evening of the 14th, we walked in four steps.

 First of all, the water ban altar was ordered.

  That is to say, clean the dojo with clean flowing water, wash away the dust, and repel evil spirits.

Lei Junxuan's courtyard is located near Yuan Mobai's residence, and is a neighbor of his fellow disciple Wang Guiyuan.

Yuan Mobai and other purple-robed elders did it, and the flowing water covered the starry sky, as if forming an independent barrier, making the dojo a world of its own.

 When you are free, you can return to Daotongyuan to move.

 Yuan Mobai's smile continued unabated.

 After Lei Jun changed his clothes, he left the small courtyard, met Wang Guiyuan, and headed to the residence of his master Yuan Mobai.

 The contiguous Taoist palaces were built against the mountains, and there were also a large number of independent houses on the periphery.

However, for the young Taoist children, the spectators were far away at the moment, and everyone was focused and carried out according to the procedures.

 He recalled that at the ceremony, there were some true disciples of the Tianshi Mansion wearing crimson robes.

Lei Jun changed the direction of the short stick in his hand and grasped the thicker end instead, and observed again:

“So, the original shape is a bamboo shoot?”

 While the ceremony was in progress, Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai wrote a chapter together to inform heaven, earth and the ancestors, and then divided the ring coupons among themselves.

 The clouds are deep and my thoughts are unpredictable... Could Master be teasing me?

Lei Jun’s expression remained normal, but the thought that came to his mind was:

Master Gao Gong holds the incense burner and performs the ritual of burning the incense burner, completing the final preparations before the fast.

Moved out of the Daotongyuan at the foot of the mountain and moved into the main Tianshi Mansion on the mountainside of the main peak to live and practice.

 Light up the lanterns and watch the stars in the night sky. You can see that the lights dance in response to the stars in the Milky Way.

Yuan Mobai smiled gently and said: "Generally speaking, one character from the disciple's real name is combined into the Taoist name.

Could this be the fourth-grade opportunity mentioned in the fortune-telling?

 From today on, Lei Jun will also officially bid farewell to his glorious identity as a Taoist boy.

 The formal religious rituals are roughly divided into three parts, called the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering.

 At the moment, Lei Jun is changing his clothes first, changing his gray robe into an apricot yellow Taoist robe, wearing a black Taoist crown on his head, and outwardly he has officially become a Taoist priest from a Taoist boy.

 The first is the ultimatum indicating his identity and mentorship.

Yaxian is the core link. The master and the disciples line up to confront each other. The high-gong master who presides over the ceremony reads the Ten Commandments, and then the master and the disciples perform the ceremony of dividing the rings and breaking the bonds.

 This is what is said: "A broken ring will never remain an alliance; a broken bond will never break its oath."

 “Master…”

 “Thank you, Master, for giving me the Taoist name.”

Wang Guiyuan corrected: "There is only one in the world. The master has used great magical powers to warm and nourish the bamboo shoots for many years."

 At the beginning, tea and wine were offered, words were proclaimed and burned, and the words were proclaimed to the heaven, the earth, and the ancestors.

At this time, outside the Zhaitan altar, guests attending the ceremony took their seats one after another, looking at the new generation of true immortal seedlings in Tianshi Mansion.

He switched back to holding the thin end with one hand, waved the stick twice in the air, and then put the stick away: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the magic weapon."

 Secondly, worship the truth and fight.

 Divide silver rings and break paper coupons.

　　It's quite convenient.

 Fortunately, one of their lessons in Daotongyuan is to practice these.

 Lei Jun saw people wearing official clothes among them.

 For such a grand event as the Tianshi Mansion Transmission Ceremony, it is indispensable for many heroes to gather to watch the ceremony.

That represents the second major threshold after the transmission of salvation, the conferring of gifts.

 The final ceremony is the various finishing procedures.

Master Gao Gong, who presided over the ceremony, paid homage to the ancestors of all generations and gave speeches of thanks.

Wang Guiyuan also smiled and held up a set of dharma clothes and a dharma box, handing them to Lei Jun.

 The Dharma drums are sounded and the bells are exhausted.

By the time all preliminary preparations were completed and the Zhaijiao passing ceremony officially began, it was already the evening of January 15th.

Though Lei Jun and other young Taoists only need to follow the process, this series of rituals is also very demanding on people's patience.

 Send off to the gods, receive officials, resume the furnace, and leave the hall.

Hand the incense stick and read out the mantra.

Place ten incense sticks and burn the summoning talisman.

He grasped the thin end just enough to hold it in his hand, and took out the stick:

“I see that the magical weapons of other brothers and sisters are all laws, rulers, swords, etc., what about ours?”

 In the world that I am currently living in, there is the Tang Dynasty, the nominal lord of the world.

The teachers and disciples worked together to build the Jiao Zhai Dharma altar. The three scenes in the middle, left and right were respectively dedicated to the Taoist ancestors.

Lei Jun looked at the short stick in his hand.

The meaning of the ritual is that after the division of rings and the breaking of the bonds, the master cannot conceal the truth and make false claims, and the disciples cannot rebel against the master.

Then there is the first volume of "Zhengfa Zhenyi Dao Jing", which is the practice method for formal disciples of Tianshi Mansion after entering the school, and the Zhengfa Zhengfa of Taoist Fulu Sect.

Silver rings have regulations, generally two inches and a quarter in diameter, and are marked in advance by a specialized chiseler.

 In this world of practitioners, all the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were also strong practitioners.

 Then it was not until January 15th that the altar was officially opened.

 Then, practice fasting and invite teachers.

Wang Guiyuan spoke eloquently from the side: "Master picked it, combined it with many other rare treasures, and refined it over many years. It has many magical features. Junior Brother Lei, you are here to start. Master spent a long time selecting it, and finally decided to give it to you." I brought this golden bamboo to make utensils for you."

Lei Jun looked at a short stick in the box. It was completely black and emitted a faint golden light. It was about a foot and a half long, with one end thick and the other thin.

 At the end of the ceremony, the three masters and apprentices returned to the mansion together.

Even if you think about it again, Lei Chongyun, thunder is stored in the clouds but it will not be released, but I don't know when it will make a sound that will shake the earth... Lei Jun stopped his thoughts and felt that the master was worrying too much.

Taoist boys can be called Taoist priests after being passed down, and officially become the true disciples of the Tianshi Mansion. They will have their own inheritance and Taoist names, and will be officially given practice methods, magical tools, etc. by their masters.

The high-gong master who presided over this ceremony paid homage to Qibai.

Lei Jun opened the magic box and saw several things inside.

 After the formal ceremony, Lei Jun and other disciples followed their respective masters out of the altar. Yuan Mobai smiled and waved to Wang Guiyuan, who had been standing by.

There are many powerful monks with high realms among them.

However, today I will tell the ancestor of the heavens and earth for the teacher. I feel like you are. You are associated with the clouds, so you can give you a group of clouds.

Yuan Mobai smiled and nodded.

The rules of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain in this world are that only believers who are destined to take refuge in the Three Jewels can enter the mountain, but they are only Taoists.

 Next, he can move.

This mansion is full of spiritual energy. Although it is located in Longhu Mountain, as a treasured place for spiritual practice, it is naturally much better than the Daotongyuan at the foot of the mountain.

 According to Lei Jun's understanding, it is equivalent to a foretelling prayer and saying hello in advance.

 As a result, no one from the official side paid any attention to it, let alone Lei Jun himself.

 Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there have always been many clans and clans, and in recent years, major monastic holy places have emerged one after another.

 The vouchers are the basic personal information that records the names, taboos, status and disciples of the ancestors of the past dynasties.

 The relationship between them is so intricate that it’s hard to describe in just one sentence.

Now, having transformed from a Taoist boy to a Taoist priest, he can begin to look forward to a higher-level enshrinement ceremony.

 Finally, Su Qixingke.

 “Your generation is a generation that emphasizes characters.”

  Finally, there is the transfer instrument.

Lei Jun’s other information is all true, but he has physically traveled through time and has no place of origin to speak of. Xu Yuanzhen, who brought him back to the mountain, filled in this field for him.

Hope that the three holes of Yunzhuan will achieve high and true things as soon as possible. "

Lei Jun waved subconsciously.

Yuan Mobai: "After today's ceremony, it is already late. Tomorrow the clouds will move to a new house. The day after tomorrow I will teach you the Dharma."

 He looked at Lei Jun: "You should prepare to build the foundation."
