Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

Zhang Yushan introduced them one by one to Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhao Ruhu of the Qingwei Sect is a middle-aged Taoist priest who wears a lotus crown and a purple robe with a somewhat elegant face. When Zhang Yushan introduced him, he greeted Zhang Zhiwei with a smile.

As for Wei Wenwen from Maoshan, although there is the word "article" in his name, it has nothing to do with elegance. Instead, he is tall, with a long beard hanging down to his chest, thick eyebrows like black ink, and a majestic air. If he hadn't been wearing Taoist robes, Zhang Zhiwei would have been I thought he was a martial artist.

Speaking of which, the surname Wei is also a common surname in Maoshan. The Qingzong in Maoshan originated from Wei Huacun, the emperor of Zixu.

Wei Huacun was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Her father, Wei Shu, even held the position of Situ during the Jin Dynasty. She was a high-ranking official. Logically speaking, she should be a pampered eldest lady, but she was not interested in playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Wei loves the art of Huang Lao. He was given the magic by the gods after a catastrophe. Once he had a sudden enlightenment, he successfully entered Taoism. He once served as a heavenly master to offer wine, and later founded the Maoshan Qing Dynasty. He wrote the "Shangqing Jing" and "Huang Ting Jing".

At the same time, she was also known as the four great fairies together with the Shouxian Empress Magu, He Xiangu and Mazu. Among them, Magu was Wei Huacun's maid, and later the flower goddess Nu Yi, who was very popular in incense, was her disciple.

Perhaps Wei Huacun herself received the teachings from the gods by chance. Therefore, compared with the Tianshi Mansion established by the ancestral Tianshi Zhang Daoling, the Lingbao Sect established by the Tianshi Ge Xuan, and the Maoshan Qingyi Lineage she founded, in Be gentler to the outside world.

In other words, we are strict with ourselves, lenient with others, and very strict with ourselves, but we are not so strict with outsiders. For example, this is the case in preaching and teaching. This has also allowed some of Maoshan's Taoism to spread widely, making the world There are many wild grass mountains.

While these wild Maoshan mountains have brought many positive images to Maoshan, they have also brought many negative images. Therefore, although Tianshi Mansion is in charge of the Three Mountain Talisman, in terms of reputation, Maoshan's reputation is greater than that of Longhu Mountain. Some.

Wei Wenwen and Zhang Zhiwei both belong to the third sect of Fu Lu. Although Zhang Zhiwei was a little surprised that Zhang Zhiwei had to compete with him and other seniors for legal position at such a young age, he still held his hands and smiled as an elder:

"Senior Nephew Zhiwei, I have heard about it for a long time. They say that your cultivation level in the Alchemy Technique is very advanced, even surpassing that of some famous seniors. I didn't expect that you are not bad at the Fu Lu Technique!"

"I originally thought that Zheng Zibu in my sect would be promoted to the third level of Dharma at such a young age, and he was already considered a monster. I didn't expect that you are even more powerful. You have just been promoted to the third level of Dharma, and you are about to receive the third level of Dharma. Let's compete with you. , we old guys are really ashamed of ourselves!"

"Senior, you are so complimentary. This is all taught well by master and uncles!"

Zhang Zhiwei also smiled and said a few polite words. As for the White Jade Palace of the Shenxiao Sect, it seemed that the person was exactly what he looked like in the story. He was the stubborn old-fashioned image in the story. He never said a word from beginning to end.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't pay attention to him. He didn't care about outsiders. If he greeted you politely, he would naturally respond politely. If you put on a show, he wouldn't be able to see you.

Afterwards, everyone continued to watch the ceremony.

The conferment ceremony is still going on, and the last Taoist priest to be promoted from the fourth-grade to the third-grade is Zheng Zibu. After the fourth-grade promotion to the third-grade is completed, it is the ceremony to promote the third-grade to the second-grade.

The third-grade Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra Urn can already be regarded as a high-grade Dharma urn, while the second-grade Shangqing Three-hole Sutra urn is the highest Dharma urn under the first-grade Dharma urn dedicated to the Celestial Master, and represents the apex of the dharma urn.

Those who teach this talisman are absolutely highly skilled in Taoism. When it comes to the second-grade talisman, the inner talisman representing the talisman has reached its culmination. Next, one must either painstakingly study the methods of the outer talisman or study the altar rituals and rituals. , or work hard on legal duties.

In short, there are many things involved in the talisman. Although the second-grade talisman is the pinnacle, the strength of the talisman may be very different from the other talisman due to differences in the outer talisman method, the way of making rituals, and the talisman.

Just like the current Zhang Zhiwei and Zheng Zibu, although they are both third-grade talismans, if other means are not used, just talking about the talismans, Zhang Zhiwei can't compare to Zheng Zibu even if he is a flatterer, because he only has an inner urn, and I only know a few external means, but most of them are used as supplements.

Compared with the third-grade urn, the ceremony of imparting the second-grade urn is much more complicated, but at the same time there are far fewer participants, only a white-haired lame old Taoist priest.

According to Ge Wen's introduction, this man was originally a genius of the Lingbao Sect, a Qimen Dunjia who was proficient in the numerology discipline. However, due to his excessive obsession with the numerology discipline in his early years, he leaked many secrets and was punished by the gods. Although he did not die. , but there are also three deficiencies and five disadvantages, including incomplete limbs.

After a moment of repentance, he stopped being obsessed with magic and began to practice the talisman with great concentration. Finally, today, he obtained the second-grade Shangqing Three Cave Sutra.

Abandoning the number of spells and seeking talismans, he was still able to win the second-grade talisman. This old man is also a man of great perseverance... Zhang Zhiwei thought to himself.

In fact, with his ability, he could heal this master of the Lingbao sect, but he had no connection with him, so it was naturally impossible for him to rush to help.

In this regard, Ge Wen did not mention it. Everyone is a measured person.

After the promotion ceremony of the second-grade Dharma Ribbon was completed, it was time to confer the Dharma position, and everyone who had been waiting for a long time came on stage again.

The enshrinement conference started at Mao hour, and now the sky is getting dark. Zhang Yi waved his magic staff, Taoist drums beat, and the sky-reaching torches placed at the four corners of the Taoist altar were lit at the same time.

Suddenly, the fire shot into the sky and the Taoist altar became even brighter.

Zhang Yi, the host of the ceremony, waved his hand, and the Taoist priests who received the dharma service filed out from the east and west sides, came to the altar of salvation, and stood facing Zhang Yi.

Immediately afterwards there was a sound of gongs. On the altar, Zhang Yi was already holding a staff, stepping on Yu steps, and chanting:

"The heaven and earth are natural, the odor is dispersed, the cave is mysterious, and the sun shines brightly. The power of the eight directions makes me natural..."

This is the Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth, which is used to repel evil and eliminate filth, cleanse the altar, and wait for the coming of God. After reciting the Divine Mantra for Purifying Heaven and Earth, Zhang Yi began to chant the "Lei Zu Bao Gao" loudly. The North Pole Exorcism Institute is affiliated to the Ministry of Lei , to get rid of its magic power, you must naturally recite the corresponding incantation.

"Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion, the Supreme Jade Qing King...the chief commander of the Five Thunders, running the three realms, the father of all beings, the master of all spirits. The Great Sage and the Great Compassion, the Supreme Emperor and the Dao..."

While chanting the mantra, a dark wind came from nowhere, the wind roared loudly on the altar, flags were flying and turning, flags were waving, and the flames of incense and candles were swaying, as if gods from all walks of life were invited to descend to the altar.

At the same time, on the cloudless night sky, ripples appeared like a lake, forming clouds. The clouds were very shallow at first, but they became dense at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming thick dark clouds. Covered the moon.

The Taoist priests below all exclaimed when they saw this scene. Even Zhang Zhiwei was a little stunned. The color of the sky and the earth changed. This scale is a bit big. I wonder which god in the Dharma lineage is responsible for the assessment?

In fact, it's not just him, Zhang Yushan, Zhao Ruhu, Bai Yugong and others are also wondering. They have all participated in the legal examination more than once. In the past, the movements were not so evil. This dark wind blows and the dark clouds hang low. , not like the arrival of gods, but like those hundreds of ghosts walking at night, and the evil soldiers passing by.

On the altar, the altar ceremony has reached the most critical moment of "welcoming the gods". Zhang Yi is still summoning the gods and chanting incantations. At the same time, the breath is rolling behind him, and a domineering figure appears.

He has a green face, red beard and red hair, golden armor and yellow robes. He looks like a bull fighting a yaksha, wearing gold armor and holding a polished sword in his hand.

It is Zhang Yi's body-protecting general, the yellow-robed monster, who is also the leader of the Seven White Tigers in the Thirty-Six Constellations, Lord Kuimu Langxing.

It stands behind Zhang Yi, floating in the curls of light smoke. Its figure is somewhere between virtual and real. It is wearing a yellow robe and a hazy light all over its body.

The divine general who protects the body appears. This is the divine general who protects the altar. With the divine general who protects the altar, it is ensured that there will be no accidents in the ritual. Zhang Yi picked up a jade book from the altar.

This jade album is divided into twenty-four slips, and the slips are connected in series with gold threads. Each piece of the jade album has been cut and polished with secret techniques. The fonts inside are all cloud seal characters, surrounded by clouds and mist, flowing slowly.

This jade book is called "Tiantan Jade Grid". It was written by a great heavenly master from Longhu Mountain in the name of Taoist sage Laozi. It records the regulations of various legal functions, how much merit you can get from doing things, etc. According to the birth date and horoscope, allocate the natal generals and heavenly soldiers as protection...

It is equivalent to the code of conduct of the Immortal Official Taoist priests.

Zhang Yi spread out the jade book and began to talk about the obligations and rules after taking the legal position, focusing on the "three refuges and nine precepts".

The "Three Refuges" refer to taking refuge, one taking refuge in the "Tao Treasure", the second taking refuge in the "Sutra Treasure", and the third taking refuge in the "Teacher Treasure".

The "Tao Bao" is actually the Yuanshi Tianzun, the "Jing Bao" is the Lingbao Tianzun, and the "Shi Bao" is the moral Tianzun, referred to as the "Tao, Jing, and Shi" three treasures.

To summarize briefly, the meaning of taking refuge in the Three Treasures is similar to how Lu Bu said when he met Dong Zhuo that he had been wandering for half his life and only regretted that he had never met his master.

In this world, children need to rely on their parents to keep their lives safe. After conversion, the "Three Treasures of Taoist Masters" are like our parents. When they are bullied, even though their parents are not around, they just need to call "Mom" , then there will be heavenly soldiers and gods to help, so the word "reliance" in taking refuge also means to rely on.

As for the Nine Precepts, they are nine precepts. The rules and regulations are too cumbersome. Most of them are used to restrain one's own moral character, including not killing animals. However, in Zhang Zhiwei's view, these clear rules and precepts must be "righteous." "The two words "give way" are used to drive away evil spirits and unify all things with unity.

After talking about the Three Refuges and Nine Precepts, Zhang Yi shook his staff and started the step of calling the gods. This step was to determine which god came to assess everyone.

"Sweep the Gangfeng to welcome the emperor, support Taoism and save the good people. I have a request to come..."

Every time Zhang Yi named the name of a righteous god, he would hold the "God's Finger" and point it towards the audience.

Under the Dharma altar, people immediately came out from the crowd, holding the god's sacred tablet, chanting the divine mantra, and walked around the altar.

If there is no response to the god's card, click on the next one. If there is a response, then invite the god's card to the altar.

"General of the Thunder City, Fu Yuan Fa Lu and all the officials. Marshal Deng of the Fire Law Order, Xin Tianjun of the Silver Teeth Fierce Official, Zhang Envoy of Flying Retribution, Liu Tianjun of Cang Teeth Iron Face..."

Zhang Yi named several righteous gods in succession, but there was no response. Until he clicked on "Yi Sheng's thunder to exorcise evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, control the house and bless the emperor", there seemed to be thunderclouds rolling and lightning flashing in the nine heavens. , echoing it from a distance.

Zhang Yi was shocked and quickly waved his hand to the deacon to bring the god's throne to the altar. This time, it was this righteous god who presided over the assessment.

Speaking of "Yi Sheng's thunder exorcises evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, control the house and bless the emperor", maybe not many people know it, but when it comes to Zhong Kui, everyone knows it and everyone knows it.

Knowing that the god presiding over the assessment this time was Zhong Kui, everyone in the audience who was about to take part in the assessment frowned.

A righteous god often holds multiple responsibilities. Zhong Kui is not only the Yisheng who exorcises evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, control the house and bless the emperor, he is also the judge of the underworld.

Yin gods are mostly surly in character, and the assessments they give are often weird and sad.

Zhong Kui's specialty is eating ghosts, and he has a particularly hot temper. It will take a lot of hardships to receive legal duties under him.

As the statue of Zhong Kui was invited to the altar, Zhang Zhiwei and his party, led by the deacon, walked to the altar and stood in front of it.

Zhang Yi picked up the yellow paper, pen, ink, sword, wrote and danced for a while, drew several talismans, and affixed a talisman on the chest and back of each Taoist priest who was in charge of the law.

During the whole process, there was no other sound on the Taoist altar, only the strange sound of wind whistling in the ears. The wind blew, the talismans were fluttering, the candlelight flickered, and the torch flickered on and off.

In a trance, there were many shadows, like many long and slanting figures swaying on the altar, which made all those who taught the law a trance, and they could not tell whether they were in the underworld and the Yang world, or in heaven and earth.

Zhang Zhiwei was sitting cross-legged on the altar, with amulets on his chest and back. He felt a chill coming up from his feet, like a snake, climbing up his knees, wrapping around his neck, and going straight into the person's head. .

If this uncomfortable feeling were placed outside, it would be called an invasion of external evil spirits. If it were here, it would be a god coming to pull him into an indescribable space for assessment.

Several other Taoist priests who were in charge of the law were all pulled in the moment this feeling came out, and they didn't even feel it too much. But Zhang Zhiwei was as hard as iron, and this cold feeling wrapped around his body, and his consciousness Still awake.

What's the matter? There's a downside to having a strong character. Isn't it possible that I won't be given the qualifications? !

At this thought, Zhang Zhiwei blinked wildly at Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi was doing it and turned a blind eye. Zhang Jingqing, who was far away in the main altar, noticed the strangeness of his disciple and quickly said "hmm" to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi: "…………"

Master Tao, I have been singing and dancing hard all day and all night without drinking any water. Why are you humming so hard?

Zhang Yi looked over with dissatisfaction and found that Zhang Jingqing was giving him a look. Zhang Yi and Zhang Jingqing had a close relationship with each other for decades, so they understood instantly.

Turning to look at Zhang Zhiwei, he found that the boy's eyes were wide open and he was blinking wildly at him. When he looked at the others, they all had peaceful expressions on their faces, and they had obviously been led by the gods.

Zhang Yi still didn't know what was going on, so he secretly murmured in his heart, "If you are a little tougher, I'm afraid you will be the lone star of the gods!"

Immediately, he picked up the yellow paper, pen and ink, drew another talisman, and slammed it on Zhang Zhiwei's forehead: "Let's go!"

Zhang Zhiwei only felt a trembling spirit, like a thunder, rushing straight from the tail vertebra to the sky spirit.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei felt that the clouds in the sky suddenly opened an opening, like a funnel, and light mist soaked in from the opening, like white ink scattered into water, suddenly covering the entire venue.
