Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Eighth Daoqing View Open View
Not to mention that the Special Affairs Department had been discussing this matter for several days.
Lingqing's side has gradually ushered in the viewing period. Following his invitation, a group of fellow apprentices, relatives and friends also arrived one after another.
Needless to say, Taoist Lingguan, Li Li, Lu Qing and others, as well as Zhang Husheng, Qiu Feibai and others from Lunan Alliance.
Wang Boming, Zhang Yang, and Chang Miaoyu came early, but Faming came in a hurry the day before the viewing started.
He had been away all this time, and it was only when he was in contact with his colleagues that he learned that Ling Qing had sent the invitation, so he hurriedly put aside his work and rushed over.
People from every family in the Dao Sect came, but except for the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Hongzhi came in person with Zhang Yuanbai.
The other sects were not very familiar with Lingqing, but they just sent the nearby abbot Fenguan to come.
What surprised Ling Qing was that Zhang Yuanbai and Zhang Yang were very familiar with each other before.
After asking, I found out that the two of them had experienced life and death together in a dungeon before, and had a life-long friendship.
In addition to these Taoist comrades and friend Fa Ming, Ji Changming and others from Lingguan Temple at the foot of the mountain represented the Special Affairs Department.
There were also three close relatives of the apprentice, including uncle Ling Hongye, brother Zhong, sister-in-law Zhong, third aunt, and parents of Sun Yuling from the Sun family, who also came early.
There were not many people in Daoqing Temple, so Taoist priest Lingguan and others entertained them on their behalf.
Sun Yuwei's parents also have Linghongye, and Lingzhong entertains them.
Saved Lingqing a lot of trouble.
On the second day of February, he had no intention of calling the people at the foot of the mountain to worship.
Just with an idea, Wei Wenjun, Sun Yuwei, Taoist Yunsheng, Ling Hongcai and others consecrated the statues of the three pure gods, three emperors, three officials and other saints one by one.
Except for the time when the Laoshan sect was established last time, at other times when the branch view was opened, there was no sign of the Patriarch appearing, and at most he just showered some blessings.
This time is no exception. As the holy statues bloom one by one, the consecration ceremony is completed.
Next is the most important apprenticeship ceremony.
This was completed in Wudang Hall, where our master, Master Wudang, is enshrined.
The appearance of the statue is the same as Lingqing's original one in the Black Mountain dungeon.
As the consecration ceremony progressed, the sacred elephant of Wudang bloomed with numerous treasures of light, shining like a living person.
Upon seeing this, Ling Qing and others hurriedly bowed: "I have met Master!"
Then there was a gentle force that lifted everyone up. After everyone stood up and waited for a while, seeing that he didn't express much, they continued with the next ritual.
However, this scene also made everyone onlookers have their own guesses.
Among them, Zhang Yuanbai and Ji Changming were the ones who had the deepest impressions. One of them had a special education and a special understanding.
The other is purely due to personal experience and wisdom.
Now that the consecration has been completed, the next step is to perform the ceremony of accepting disciples and imparting burial urns.
Just like when Lingqing and others were apprenticed in Laoshan, Lingji, Wei Wenjun, and Sun Yuwei were dressed in gray linen robes, wearing pure socks and hemp shoes, and were waiting outside Wudang Hall with a copy of the apprenticeship letter.
The three of them also needed to take the Taoist test, which was personally tested by Li Li, Tian Yong, Han Fu, and Zhao Zhen.
In the future, there is no telling how many people will preside over the Taoist examinations in the Laoshan lineage.
Lingji and Wenjun started BJ without learning anything from the time they entered Taoism. Naturally, there was no one who was unqualified.
Sun Yuwei is now in a good age to study. In addition, she has worked a lot of hard work to take Lingqing as her teacher, so it is natural that there will be no problem.
Becoming a master and accepting a disciple must be witnessed, and subsequent conferrals must also have three masters as guarantees.
However, no one had any intention of looking for someone else. Lingqing, as the master, was naturally the recommender.
The transmitter is Lingguan Taoist, who is responsible for presiding over the rituals of conferring rituals. The supervisor is Tian Yong, who is the supervisor of the rituals.
It is impossible to guarantee that there will be no traitors and bandits in Laoshan in the future. Letting Tian Yong be the supervisor also means that he will clean up the family in the future.
He is a swordsman, he practices the art of killing, and his temperament is upright, so he is suitable for this job.
Maybe the original supervisor didn't have this role, but it wouldn't hurt if Laoshan added one.
"It's almost time." Lingqing and the other three sat down in front of the statue of Wudang and whispered to Jiang Chengyan.
Jiang Chengyan nodded, walked out of the door and led Lingji and the others in. After the three of them knelt down.
Standing on one side, he shouted loudly: "I have an idea now. Wei Wenjun and Sun Yuwei have both good moral character and good conduct, and have passed the Taoist examination. I would like to invite Master Daoqing to take them under my sect!"
Let’s go through the ceremony of worshiping a master and being given a urn!”
After singing, he stepped aside. As the next generation senior brother of Laoshan, he would be indispensable for every family to accept disciples in the future.
Ling Qing nodded slightly, flicked the Wanhua whisk in his hand, looked at the three Lingji people in front of him, and unconsciously recalled the previous scene where he and others were apprentices in Laoshan.
Counting the time in the copy, twenty or thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lingji, Wenjun and I have been practicing with Pindao for six or seven years. Although Yuwei is shorter, she respects the teacher and is respectful and humble, which is very suitable for me.
Today is the time when Dao Qing Guan opens, and you have also accomplished your meritorious deeds, so I, the poor Dao, should accept you as my disciples."
"Thank you, Master!" Lingji and the other three kowtowed in thanks.
Lingqing nodded and continued: "I, Dao Qing Guan, are a branch of Laoshan Sect. Although the legal traditions are different, the genealogy is the same.
Previously, you and Uncle Daoguan, who are both our teachers, established a pedigree for me in Laoshan, saying:
Xuanwei understands the wonderful principles to the Dharma and nature, such as Zong Mingyi, from Changdeng Xianzheng to Hunyuan, a total of twenty crosses.
Your generation has the character ‘Xuan’.”
He paused and continued: "In this case, add one character to Lingji to become Lingxuanji, change one character to Wei Wenjun to become Wei Xuanjun, and change one character to Sun Yuwei to become Sun Xuanwei."
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the Dharma name!" Lingji and others bowed again after hearing this.
This generation was already determined when the Laoshan religion was established. At that time, not only the Laoshan religion establishment ceremony was held, but also the apprenticeship ceremony of Lingguan Taoist.
Jiang Chengyan, Cheng Xinya, and Wen Ling have also been following Taoist Lingguan for quite some time.
Even before the Heaven Change, Jiang Chengyan had studied Taoism with Taoist Lingguan, but Taoist Lingguan had never formally accepted him.
At that time, Laoshan established a religion, so he naturally took this opportunity to recruit the three of them.
They were also born with the character "Xuan", except that Jiang Chengyan was special, so he got the latter character, and his legal name was Jiang Chengxuan.
Cheng Xinya and Wen Ling both just added a word in the middle.
Next, Lingqing declared the precepts of Laoshan Sect again.
This is both a warning and a restriction. If the three of them commit a crime in the future, they will naturally be punished accordingly.
These precepts are not strict, they are just about doing good and forbidding evil, and following the Tao to save people.
It doesn’t require everyone to do very well, as long as they don’t violate the precepts.
This is true whether it was in Shangqing Palace or in Laoshan today. This is passed down from the roots.
