Legend of the Cultivation God - Chapter 3250
[Chapter 3250 Taoist Etiquette]
Xiao Jian couldn’t help but ask: “Senior, you are already old, why do you have to do everything yourself? You might as well leave these things to your disciples to do!”
“Hehe, fellow Daoist Xiao, this porridge and meal should be thought of about the difficulties of Taoism, and every word and deed should be like the compassion of the Taoist ancestors. Meditation is practice, Qi refining is practice, and good deeds are even more practice. The old Taoist has given porridge for fifty years. Although it is about to die now, I don’t dare to neglect!” Dao Shan took a break and said with a smile.
“Silk…” Not to mention Xiao Jian was surprised, even Xiao Hua was greatly shocked! A full fifty years of porridge! This is not something ordinary people can do! Immediately, Xiao Hua felt that he had lived on a dog for two hundred years!
Having said that, Daoshan is getting old after all, and the wooden spoon is so big that Lao Dao can’t scoop a few more spoons.
“Ya…” Xiao Jian shouted, “Where did you die? Why don’t you come over quickly and help the seniors to cook!!”
“Yes, Master!” Yuan Ya responded. However, as soon as Yuan Ya came out of the shadow behind Xiao Hua, the shadow of that figure flashed past the white porridge, and all the beggars showed their horror!
“Daoist Xiao, it’s better to be young!” Although Liu Yi saw that Daoshan didn’t frown, he was obviously a little worried, and hurriedly jumped off the carriage.
Liu Yi had a sweet mouth, walked up to Dao Shan, and respectfully said: “Grandpa Dao, you have been doing good deeds all your life, and this kindness and kindness will still be passed on. The boy Liu Yi is not talented. Continue to give, if Grandpa Dao is worried, can you give pointers to the boy’s cultivation?”
“Okay!” Dao Shan looked at Liu Yi’s ingenuity, and with his sweet words, he would have to give this spoon to Liu Yi.
However, Dao Shan was still standing beside him, seeing that Liu Yi was very serious about filling every beggar’s broken bowl without any slack, then he turned his head to Xiao Jian with confidence: “Xiao Dao is a good fortune in friendship. Your disciple is a hundred times stronger than the old disciple!”
“Don’t dare” Xiao Jian hurriedly waved his hand, let Xiao Hua out, and said with a smile, “Liu Yi is the child who was sitting in front of Senior Xiao, not the disciple of the junior!”
“Oh?” Dao Shan was obviously taken aback, looked at Xiao Hua, who looked like a teenager, and seemed to understand something. He hurriedly sorted out his robes, and said respectfully, “Poor Dao Dao Shan, I have seen senior!”
How could Xiao Hua be willing to let this kind-hearted old Taoist salute him? He just waved his hand, and the old Taoist couldn’t bow down, so he bowed first and said, “Poor Xiao Hua, I have seen Master Daoshan!”
Dao Shan’s figure was unable to bow down, and he knew that Xiao Hua’s background was extraordinary, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then smiled bitterly: “Old Taoist doesn’t practice Taoism, he only reads Taoist scriptures, he is not good at almsgiving, he only knows how to give, but he has never practiced at all, how? Can you be called a master?”
“Master is wrong!” Xiao Hua said with a smile, “There are thousands of ways to practice, and none of them are smooth! The master puts goodness first, and walks like a drop of water. There have been good deeds, but if you are as persistent as the master… and you can’t, the master cannot be called a master, who can be called a master? If the master is not a master, then there is no master in this Tibetan Immortal Continent!”
“Senior…” Daoshan is still humble, “Old Dao escaped into Taoism since he was a child, and has always admired seniors who have magical powers in Taoism, but Laodao has never had this opportunity in his life. That’s why Laodao used such meager means to help me. Daomen do their best, this is really not worth mentioning in front of the seniors, the seniors say so, the old way is ashamed!”
“Call your friends!” Xiao Hua said with a smile, he really didn’t want to be called a senior by such an old man, after all, the old man has reached the end of his life, and although he is old, he is just in full bloom!
“Yes, Fellow Daoist Xiao!” Dao Shan was very happy, but after speaking, he came to his senses again, “The two fellow Daoists are one family!”
“Fellow Daoist is wrong!” Xiao Hua shook his head, “Xiao Mou also met this Xiao Daochang by chance!”
“The Daomen in the world are one family, and it is fate to meet each other!” Dao Shan said with a smile, and then looked at the many beggars who came slowly from a distance, the smile on his face faded again, “Alas, this year The Tongzhu Kingdom is raising troops and horses, and there are more and more beggars in this country…”
“Cuckoo…” Xiao Jian’s stomach screamed in disappointment at this time.
Although Lao Dao’s ears are not easy to use, he is really close to Xiao Jian, and Xiao Jian’s thunderous sound immediately made him understand.
“Hehe, Lao Dao is really happy to see fellow Daoists, but it’s rude!” Dao Shan smiled and raised his footsteps, “Several fellow Daoists wait a moment, Lao Dao will call the disciples out to welcome you all!”
“Don’t…” Xiao Hua saw that Dao Shan’s body was neat and tidy, and he knew that Lao Dao was the most particular, but he didn’t know what etiquette to come up with, so he hurriedly called to stop.
But Daoshan waved his hand and said: “Confucianism has always followed etiquette and ruled the country with etiquette. Although my Taoist school does not have too many complicated etiquette, my Taoist friends come from afar. I can’t help but act solemnly! When the people who cultivate see it, they will ridicule me.”
Xiao Hua wanted to say more, but Xiao Jian smiled beside him: “Senior, Senior Daoshan’s Seven Suns Temple is the real Taoist Temple, if you don’t let him welcome the senior in, I’m afraid you will lose the face of my Taoist family. It’s not good to go out!”
“Okay!” Xiao Hua was a little curious, and he didn’t quite understand what etiquette he needed to greet when he went to a Taoist temple.
After a cup of tea, the iron pot in front of Qiyang Temple was empty, but there were still a lot of beggars with thin faces and yellow skin in front of the iron pot. Some of these beggars were disappointed to see that the porridge was gone. He left, but he still looked at him with some stubbornness, and stayed in front of the iron pot persistently.
“Daoist…” Looking at the empty door, Liu Yi whispered, “Let these people leave?”
Xiao Hua said with a smile: “Let them wait first, wait until I go in, and then let Master Daoshan cook the porridge!”
“Yes~” Liu Yi whispered, those beggars were overjoyed and waited there obediently.
While talking, there was a sound of silk and bamboo from the Seven Suns Temple, and then, a few thin Daoist boys were seen, either holding flutes, or holding flutes, or Sheng, in their hands. He came out of the gate while blowing, and after these Dao boys, You Dao Shan led a dozen middle-aged and elderly Dao priests in neat robes to slowly spread out.
Dao Shan, who was walking at the front, even held a long, whitish board-like thing in his hand.
Xiao Hua wanted to ask Xiao Jian, but Xiao Jian had changed his face to solemn, and hurried to the door of Qiyang Temple, standing upright, with his hands in the robes, looking down at the ground . Seeing this, Xiao Hua didn’t dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked to Xiao Jian’s side and stood still.
Seeing Xiao Hua coming, Xiao Jian hurriedly took a half step back to show the difference.
Liu Yi was clever and hurriedly pulled Yuan Ya who was standing beside him, standing on Xiao Hua’s side with Xiao Jian behind him, and letting Yuan Ya stand beside him was facing Xiao Jian.
Dao Shan and the others walked up to Xiao Hua and did not speak. They waited until the song was settled, then said: “Pin Dao Qi Yang Guan Dao Shan, welcome Senior Xiao Hua, Xiao Jian Daoist to my Qi Yang Guan!”
Following these words, Dao Shan raised the board respectfully.
“The disciple welcomes the two seniors Xiao!” Even though they saw that Xiao Hua was very young, many Taoist priests still saluted respectfully.
Xiao Hua and others also returned the ceremony. Although Xiao Hua didn’t know the specific etiquette, he still raised his hand, and he lifted up more than a dozen people.
Everyone was horrified!
“Senior Xiao, please come to the temple to pay homage to Daozu…” Daoshan’s expression did not change, he said word by word, and turned around.
“Yes, Master, please!” Xiao Hua replied, walking towards Dao Shan, and when Xiao Hua had just passed Dao Shan, Dao Shan moved at the same time and accompanied Xiao Hua into the Taoist Temple.
Qiyang Temple is really not small. Entering the Guanmen is a rather large courtyard. There are two rows of rooms in the east and west. On the opposite side is a very imposing hall. Although these houses are old, their scale is far from that of Jiang Chaoguan. ! In particular, there are two side doors on both sides of the main hall. After going straight to the main hall, thinking about the situation seen from the small bridge, Xiao Hua also knows that there is still a great place behind the main hall.
The main hall is brightly lit. In addition to a few oil lamps in the hall, there are three red candles with thick arms on the offering table, which are burning brightly. Besides the red candles, there is an incense burner on the offering table. Raised, on both sides of the incense burner, placed several plates in turn, and the plates contained some rice, noodles, grains and other things.
However, what puzzled Xiao Hua was that there was no statue of Taoist ancestors behind the offering table, but a few-story altar. On the altar, there were small signs with some handwriting written on them. There are also small celadon bowls one by one!
“Worship Daozu!” When Xiao Hua walked to the center of the hall, Dao Shan shouted, full of energy, how could he look like an old man in his sixties?
Looking at the niches in front of him, and the brand names, Xiao Hua couldn’t help laughing and laughing. He had already thought about this question when he was in Xiaoyu Continent. Who is the Taoist ancestor? Now that I have arrived in the Tibetan Immortal Continent, this problem has not been resolved, and I have never even worshipped in Xiaoyu Continent, but today I am going to worship Daozu.
“The dead are big!” Xiao Hua imitated Xiao Jian, put his hand in the robe, raised it very high to his forehead, and then slowly bowed until his forehead was in front of the confession. When they were even, they stopped, and then they bowed twice, and together they bowed three times.
“Respect Teacher!!” After Xiao Hua got up, Dao Shan shouted again.
This time the three-bow body is a little higher than the previous three-bow body. Xiao Hua pays attention to what Xiao Jian is doing, and he also follows the steps.
“See you, fellow Daoist!” Dao Shan shouted, turning around, holding the yellowed board in his hand, and taking his own disciples to salute Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua can now see clearly, this yellowing The board is actually a jade carving…
