Two hundred and seventy-fourth chapters of Shinto teach
This new Taoist platform is unique. The platform is surrounded by various flags and flags with the words "Guotai Taiminan" and "Pray to Heaven and Pray for Blessings". It is surrounded by Buddhist scriptures and pillars. There are also some unseen things placed or hung on the four corners of the platform.
There is a large suona hanging in the corner, and inside it is singing "Tao Qing" which the Taoist priests used to sing on the streets in the past few days.
Although everyone has seen the Taoist priests doing things like climbing up the Mountain of Swords, descending into the Sea of Fire, climbing up the Cloud Tower, etc., they have never seen this kind of Dharma altar that looks like a stage for singing. They suddenly found it quite novel, and they all found their own places or places to perform.
We stood or sat waiting. There were some vendors selling snacks, melon seeds, sour plum soup and the like, and it was very lively for a while.
I saw a group of Taoist priests walking out from a curtain by the river. The leader was a fat Taoist priest. The fat Taoist priest was wearing an embroidered Taoist robe with gold and silver threads and a purple lotus temple on his head. However, he did not hold the Taoist tablet in his hand, which is commonly used for sacrificial offerings.
, but holding a strange black stick. Behind the fat Taoist priest were two rows of small Taoist priests, a row of Taoist boys in blue, and a row of Taoist nuns in blue. They were singing ancient tunes and walking slowly.
Although I didn't see how hard they shouted, no matter where they were in the square, their lyrics were clearly echoing in everyone's ears:
Jishou is the Supreme Way of Nothingness, the Great Merciful Lord who is merciful and saves the suffering. Tens of billions of divine rays of light shine in the middle of the night, and the loving clouds cover the sky and rain down the Dharma.
The clear stone is the infernal prison, the blood lake is the blood sea, the blood pool is the basin. The jade urn is to forgive all sinful souls and free them from the suffering of eternal tribulations.
…
A Taoist in the field nodded secretly after hearing this and said to his companions: "These Australian Taoist priests also believe in Taishang Laojun's Dao. You heard them reciting the "Yuanshi Tianzun Jidu Blood Lake Sutra"." The people walking with him were silent.
Without saying a word, he just nodded his head.
But I saw that the Taoist priests did not perform the ritual of inviting the gods after ascending to the altar. The little Taoist priests divided the universe into two parts and lined them up on both sides of the altar.
Only some fragrant flowers and fruits were offered, and a portrait of the Three Pure Ones was hung behind the altar. The fat Taoist priest did not bow before the portrait, but only held three sticks of sandalwood, bowed three times to the Three Pure Ones, and placed the incense in the incense burner.
The two Taoist priests in the crowd were stunned. The younger Taoist priest pulled the older Taoist priest and stammered: "Master, Master, he, he didn't even bow down when he saw the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, Ju!" The old Taoist priest remained silent.
He just shook his head and sighed.
I saw Taoist Cui, wearing a robe and a wooden sword on his back, standing in the middle of the stage with an upright look on his face. He read a eulogy loudly, and the sound was like a loud bell, which made the noise around the stage almost inaudible.
The eulogy says:
Wow, at this time when Guangzhou was surrendered and the Song Dynasty was resurrected, there were monsters harvesting and cutting off the living things, and the witches and poisons cursed and killed the elders. Fortunately, we, the Song Dynasty, were destined to return, and the dragon energy in Wuyang City was reunited.
The elders of the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty were all chosen by heaven. In the past, the gods naturally protected them, and the tricks of ghosts could not be taught, so they became angry and killed the people. The innocent elders were harmed by this, and their souls have nowhere to go. How can ghosts be safe? I vow to save the souls of the dead and wandering ghosts.
To commemorate the sorrow of the people suffering from poison, the suffering of the common people from the plague, and all the ghosts and resentful spirits in the world, I hope that I can repent in my heart, think about kindness, sincerely repent, understand life and death, let go of resentment and think of good, or pass away.
The Pure Land may be transformed into a human being, freed from the path of suffering, rising above the ice and fire, perfecting the Great Way, and returning to nature. Only then can the things of salvation be accomplished in accordance with the way of heaven and earth. I burn incense and bathe, barefoot with my hair spread out, clean the table with fragrant flowers, lotus flowers, water and fire
The water of the talisman is used for refining, the Milky Way is filled with fragrant mist, the lamps and candles are aligned with the sky cloth of stars, and the accumulated numbers of the heaven and earth are saved on the altar. The radiant light shines everywhere, the fire corresponds to the stars, the sun and the moon illuminate the sun, and it shines through the nine secluded places; the clothes and hats are purple and gold,
The silk ribbon is coiled around the dragon, the square altar is high, the ninety-nine percent of the country is made, the wat is inscribed with thunderbolts, and the order is engraved with mysterious songs. Immortal music is everywhere, and bells and chimes are being played. The left hand is holding nectar, and the willow juice is in it; the right is cited with jade talismans, and the mantras are intricately engraved.
. Stepping on the Eight Diagrams, walking on empty steps, paying homage to the Five Elders, breaking the prison to save the nation, refining water and fire, shining the bright moon on the soul, washing the body in the pure sea, dripping nectar to soothe the soul, using the jade talisman to restore the soul, and ascending to the altar of seven stars.
Worshiping Ksitigarbha's rituals, silently chanting divine mantras, swords transformed into talismans, fairy mist lingering, three flowers gathering in flames, five qi rising to the lotus seat of Yuan Dynasty. Drinking water from the three rivers sprays into the mist of Xuantian, dancing in the clothes of Hunyuan
The shadow of the imaginary Taixu. Summons a strong man to be the general who will open the prison gate, and summons the fairy boy to be the guide to cross the blood lake. The five-color golden flags lead the soul to summon death. At night when the soul returns, it will go to the human world and transform into another form. The seven-color sandalwood,
Capture the soul and receive auspiciousness, the soul returns, enjoys human virtues, and is reincarnated as a good person. The ink pen is used to copy the talisman, the gold and ink are used as the basket, the fire candle is bright, illuminating all directions, dispelling the grievances and sins, praying for peace, and vowing to the underworld that the ghosts will never leave. Practice.
Be virtuous and do good, establish your life with peace of mind, repay the virtues of heaven and earth, inherit the transformation of yin and yang, be generous in the underworld, perform vows to Ksitigarbha, bow down to Qingxuan. Bow to the God of Repentance, and bow to the Bodhisattva, and wish to save the souls of the dead with thin aspirations, and return to the dead as soon as possible.
In peace, I would like to use the scriptures to save the ghosts. The bells of the sutras will tremble and resound throughout the underworld; the fire and candles will shine all over the world, and the nine secluded places will be penetrated; the nectar will be cool, and food will be granted. I would like to use this article to offer libations to the souls of the dead. I will enjoy them and eat them.
Steam and taste it, listen to the Dharma and gain salvation, and save the sorrow of death.
Cui Hantang shook the Sanqing Bell in his hand and recited a mantra loudly. Sometimes he held a sword with one hand and stepped on the steel pole to fight. Sometimes he breathed flames from his mouth to purify the four directions. When Cui Hantang had completed his salvation, he put away his sword and stood up. The talisman in his palm ignited spontaneously without wind, and he shouted loudly:
"The Lord Taishan has opened the door to hell. How long will it take before you are reincarnated?" Suddenly, black air surged into the sky in Taichung, accompanied by countless sharp and ear-piercing howls. There seemed to be countless ghosts dancing in the black air... It only scared me.
Everyone trembled, and the timid one actually sat down and covered his eyes. After a while, the black air dissipated. Although the sky was blue and cloudless, a colorful rainbow hung across the stage...
The audience standing in the front only felt that there was a slight amount of water vapor in the air, which was indescribably cool and pleasant, like nectar. They couldn't help but feel intoxicated. Although those in the back row could not feel the "cool fragrance"
", but there was also a lot of discussion about this rainbow. The little Taoist priest exhaled a breath and said to the old Taoist priest: "Master, this mage has such profound Taoist skills!" After saying this, there was no reply from the master. He hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that
Seeing that the old Taoist priest's eyes were wide open and his throat was making a loud sound, and he almost lost his breath, the young Taoist priest hurriedly supported him, beat his back and caressed his chest for a long time before he recovered, and just sat down on the ground silently.
.
Cui Hantang left the altar, but saw sixteen Taoist students on the altar, eight men and eight women. The audience was thinking about what spells they were going to cast, but they saw them divided into two rows, wearing blue practice uniforms and looking energetic and capable. They
In the middle, a tall Taoist priest in green stands proudly holding a sword. He is Fu Meng, the veteran of the FireWire franchise.
The music from the loudspeaker sounded immediately, but Master Fu Meng roared, pulled out his long sword, spread out his hair, danced gracefully to the music, and danced and sang. The Taoists sang in clear voices and said:
I am so sad and hurt that I scatter my bridle to the fusang tree
Caressing the long sword lightly, wearing a lantern ring, holding the cup across the turbid river
Flying high and peaceful, clear air controls yin and yang
Traveling around Zhou Zhang, Star Han Weiyang, Sun and Moon and Qi Guang
Green clouds, white clothes, long arrows shooting at the wolf
…
Fu Meng had a background in martial arts, and a set of Tai Chi sword routines combined with square dance movements made him dance with great success. All the elders who didn't know what was going on couldn't help but praise: "You are so brave and handsome! When did the new Taoism come?
Are there more people like this again?”
"First it was pretentious, but now it's changed to a theatrical performance. Where did Taoist Cui do it?" Mu Min looked at the public sacrifice scene - there was no sense of solemnity at all, it was a temple fair scene.
The New Taoist dance was lively here, and the Buddhists there were not to be outdone. The cymbals sounded together, and the monks chanted Buddhist scriptures. During the period, there were "playing tricks" and other tricks, which also attracted many people to watch.
On the Catholic side, only the old grandmothers from Lingao Seminary sang hymns in black robes - which was not nearly as enjoyable to watch. The mass was held in the open air, and there was no mystical atmosphere like a tall and deep church. Although the new Guangzhou
Bishop Ma Yangchun used all his strength to perform a complete requiem mass in the "most solemn manner", but not many people watched the ceremony. Only a few hundred believers from the Guangzhou Church watched the mass below.
"Relatives may be sad, but others have also sung their songs. Life is just like this." Liu Xiang said deeply.
"This is just a public sacrifice. If the three major sects come to do this, the Senate..." Lin Baiguang felt slightly worried.
"The purpose of Shinto teachings is to educate the people." Liu Xiang said, "At this stage, the cultural level of the masses is generally low. It is quite useful to have some religious beliefs to educate and restrain. I believe that most people in the Senate can still Understood - as long as we don't publicly express our support for a certain sect, it will be fine. Mu Bureau." Liu Xiang clicked Mu Min's name.
"What's up?"
"Next, Taoist Cui will perform the Luotian Jiao for eighteen days at the Five Immortals Temple. You send a few national troops and police to help him maintain order and make his life better - even one less day will not do!"
Mu Min knew that Liu Xiang had the intention of teasing Taoist Cui - after being beaten for eighteen days, Taoist Cui had to vomit blood. However, Taoist Cui had a lot of flesh, so he could probably bear it. He held back his laughter and said, "I understand, I will definitely help him and urge him." .”
"Okay, let's forget about the public sacrifice. The next step is the trial." He looked at Shen Ruiming, "How do you plan to arrange it?"
"Let's talk about the personnel first. The presiding judge is Liang Xinhu. I will be the prosecutor myself, and Elder Xiao Zhang will be my deputy. What other requirements do you have? Do you want some jurors to come?"
"I don't think there is any need for jury judges and jurors. The civil law system we follow, the jury is something from the maritime law system. What's more, even if we find a few naturalized citizens to fill the number, firstly, the level is not enough, and secondly, After coming here, it will be difficult for us to send someone to every trial. As for the veterans, it is even more impossible. I am still assured of your level, and the prosecutor will leave it to you. However, have you thought about the selection of defense lawyers? No?"
