Chapter 804 New Year’s Eve Ceremony
"The so-called Dharma Assembly and Blessing Assembly are meant to drive away evil spirits and bring blessings."
"If a place has bad Feng Shui and excessive yin energy, which breeds evil spirits and is unfavorable to the people, then the evil spirits must be driven away. This is called a blessing meeting."
"And if evil things first appear in a place and cause chaos all the time, no matter how good the feng shui is, the evil spirits cannot be driven away, so the evil things must be driven away or suppressed directly to avoid hurting people. This is
It’s called the Dharma Conference.”
After speaking her thoughts frankly to the reincarnated people, Hu Ma returned to the Hu family's old house with a much lighter pace. When she returned to the old house, she asked about the relevant Dharma assembly.
This point is quite simple. Whether it is Lao Abacus, Fairy Miaoshan, or the little ghost Douguan next to Miaoshan, they all know a thing or two.
When you put them together, you are proficient: "Although there are differences between the two, they do have something in common."
"In the final analysis, the key is to defend, travel and visit the town. Three keys are indispensable."
"The person who is the chief priest stands between the altars to drive away evil spirits and suppress evil spirits."
"The second is to invite the guardian gods of Zhou Tian to protect us and walk around the city to protect the people."
"The third is to set up something to hold down the altar to ensure that it can suppress the things under the city to prevent it from rebelling."
"..."
"These things do exist."
After hearing this, Hu Ma said: "Then let's do it like this. I will naturally be the one to guard the altar. Those who travel around the altar will invite those good friends to take charge. As for the one who holds the altar, there is nothing to say. If you invite the Twelve Ghost Altar, everything will be done.
Calm down."
Old Abacus hurriedly said: "The Twelve Ghost Altar has held the world's incense for one hundred and fifty years, so it can hold up anything, but are you sure you can invite me?"
Hu Ma nodded and said: "The Imperial Master invited the Twelve Ghost Altar to borrow my Taoism. I have kept his methods in mind, and that subtle connection is still here."
"If so..."
Old Abacus pondered for a long time and whispered: "In fact, there is only one important thing left."
"Convince the ten surnames to move the ancestral temple."
"..."
"oh?"
Hu Ma looked at him and saw the ancestral hall of the ten surnames, but the foundation of the ten surnames in Shangjing City, the Hu family was among them.
"Only one of the ancestral temples of the ten surnames and the altar of twelve ghosts can be left in the upper capital."
Old Abacus also knew that these words would have great impact, so he was a little cautious and said in a low voice: "To put it bluntly, whether it is the ancestral hall of the ten surnames or the altar of the twelve ghosts, they are used to bear the incense from the world and to go to the capital."
"Today's Shangjing City is full of purple energy, which almost occupies the entire city in this huge world. Why does it condense and not disperse?"
"It's because there are ancestral temples of ten surnames covering it."
"But when you invited the Twelve Ghost Altar back, the amount was too heavy, and the Ancestral Temple of the Ten Surnames had to make room."
"When the National Preceptor held the Dharma Conference, he didn't need to consider this matter because he wanted to remove Shang Jing from the human world. There was no need to worry about the conflict between the two. However, you held this Dharma Conference to keep Bai Yujing in the human world. So,
This problem is inevitable.”
"..."
"Then I will go talk to them."
Hu Ma took a deep breath and skipped the topic.
"I'm afraid I can't talk about such a big matter properly..."
Lao Abacus was a little worried. He always felt that it was impossible for the ten surnames to easily agree to such a big event. Moving the ancestral temple would, to a certain extent, be almost the same as moving a grave.
But seeing that Hu Ma had settled down, he cheered up and said in a low voice: "In this case, there is only one thing left. This Dharma gathering should have a name!"
"The Dharma Assembly held by the National Master belongs to the Imperial Master. If you take over, this Dharma Assembly will be yours. If the name is not correct, the words will not be followed, and if the words are not followed, the Dharma will not be effective. Therefore, choose a name for this Dharma Assembly.
Names are very important!"
"..."
This made Hu Ma a little surprised. She pondered for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Then let's call it the Zhensui Dharma Assembly!"
"Zhensui..."
Old Abacus took a deep look at Hu Ma and agreed in a low voice. No matter how Tai Sui was, he was still a god to Daluo teachings and to this world.
The name of this Dharma conference can be described as disrespectful.
Although the Dharma Assembly itself is to suppress things in the capital and below, when dealing with ghosts and gods, even if they are done, they must be said in a nicer way. To expel ghosts, you must call on the gods, and to cure ghosts, you must call them peace.
Hu Ma didn't think so.
It would be disrespectful to say that the year is under control, but the ancestors of the Hu family have done this a long time ago.
Moreover, this time the Dharma Assembly will follow the normal Dharma assembly, but in the Mainland, you still have to read the Dharma in the Zhensui Book, which is what Erguotou mentioned before, what is recorded in the Zhensui Book
The last method.
After making all arrangements, Hu Ma changed into clean clothes the next morning and went straight to the ancestral hall of the ten surnames.
Knowing that there are such weird things under the city, naturally I can't sleep peacefully. Even when I walk on the street, I feel cautious, as if I'm afraid of stepping on the ground too hard and disturbing something underground.
The city of Shangjing is still as prosperous as before. The streets are crowded with people, and every face is smiling, with a deliberately lively atmosphere.
But looking at it now, it seems that these people who don't know the truth will have that kind of instinctive caution. Half of their feet are on tiptoes, and they are all on tiptoes as they walk.
Thinking of Lao Baopan's reminder, Hu Ma understood in her heart: "As soon as the imperial master left, the Wang family also fled, and the capital was no longer so stable."
"Nowadays, the people in the upper capital are still standing on half of their feet. When they start to walk on their toes little by little, the thing below them will no longer be able to hold them down."
"..."
This Dharma conference must be held, and the ancestral temple of the ten surnames must also be moved.
Hu Ma knew that this matter would not be easy to handle, but she was prepared. However, she did not expect that when she arrived in front of the ancestral hall of the ten surnames, she saw countless porters, sedan bearers, and laborers gathered in the distance. Several
The chief minister is sitting in the pavilion.
When he saw himself from a distance, he greeted him with a smile, invited him to the pavilion to drink tea, and politely gave him a cup.
"Why are these uncles gathered here?"
Hu Ma also sat down politely and asked with a smile before drinking tea.
The only person he could recognize in the field was Zhou Zhiming, the head of the Yangming Zhou family. There was another one who was dressed in colorful clothes and looked like Zhao Sanyi. He should be Zhao Qizhi, the head of the Zhao family.
Even if they have never met the other people, they can roughly identify themselves with the Zhu family, the Sun family, and the Chen family. The head of the Wang family has escaped, the Zhang family and the Meng family are gone, and everyone else has arrived.
Seeing Hu Ma's politeness, several people also laughed and said: "We are here to invite incense, and we are waiting to tell you."
"Incense please?"
Hu Ma was really startled, a little surprised that what they said about inviting incense was what she thought.
"good."
The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhiming, smiled and said: "Twenty years ago, the bloodline of Duyi was cut off, and the altar of twelve ghosts was on the verge of being shattered."
"The world cannot be without incense, so Master Dongxuan borrowed an incense from each of our ten surnames and built an ancestral temple in Shangjing. By doing so, he suppressed the fate of the world and brought order to the world.
In the past few years, the sky will not fall apart."
"But what has been borrowed must be repaid, and now the time has come."
"This time, we just want to bring the incense from each family back to the clan for worship, so we don't have to go through the muddy waters of the capital."
"..."
What he said was extremely calm and sincere, but Hu Ma didn't believe a word of it.
After being slightly surprised, he picked up the tea they pushed in front of him, took a slow sip, and then raised his head.
Drinking this tea means that I am talking to them as the head of the Hu family. I don't want to listen to lies, but want to tell the truth.
The head of the Zhao family smiled and said: "There is a very smart man outside the city. He convinced us, so we won't go through this muddy water. It just makes room for you, so you can see what you are capable of."
"A very smart person?"
When Hu Ma saw the reaction of the ten surnames, she was immediately curious: 'Monkey wine?'
"The Imperial Master is willing to admit defeat and retreat. We are just watching the ceremony, so we won't cause any trouble. It's just that this little friend of the Hu family has accepted this job, so we should be more careful."
The head of the Zhou family seemed to notice Hu Ma's surprise and said with a smile: "In a few months, it will be July and a half. The Shiting alliance has been agreed upon a long time ago. Now look at the ten surnames, there are already fewer
We have visited several houses, I just hope that little friend of the Hu family will not be delayed."
Hearing them mention the Shiting Alliance, Hu Ma felt even more surprised.
Now that the Imperial Master has been defeated, is it still necessary for the Shiting Alliance to exist?
Facing Hu Ma, the head of the Zhou family just smiled lightly and said: "Little friend of the Hu family, there are three types of people in this world. One type is only for themselves, only thinking about getting benefits and doing nothing;"
"The first category is those who only contribute their efforts and gain no benefits;"
"There is another category, those who get benefits and contribute. We had thought about being the first category, but in the end, we ended up being the third category."
"Twenty years ago, the Ten Surnames and the Imperial Master made an alliance with Shiting. Many of the rules in it have become a joke now."
"We made an agreement with the ten surnames not to resort to swordsmanship when it comes to reasoning, but this rule was broken by the Meng family."
"We agreed that even if we encounter danger, we should protect each other's bloodlines, but this rule has been broken by the Imperial Master himself. Of course, it is not wrong to say that it was you who broke it."
"But although there are many rules like this, there are also a few that are beneficial to the world, such as: guarding the world and preventing chaos, making the world stable for twenty years, and also extending its life for another twenty years."
"Another example is not to come into contact with those evil things in private, so as not to disrupt the life span of the world."
"Of course, this rule was also broken by the Wang family. This is also the reason why the head of the Wang family abandoned the family without hesitation when the national master was defeated. The ten surnames are equivalent to missing one more surname."
"However, at the end of the day, there is one more thing, that is, the incense sticks of the ten surnames rule the world together. Now that we have decided to move the incense sticks, it also means that all the rules set in the stone pavilion will be erased.
Already."
"But rules are rules, and the agreement in the Shiting Alliance is still there. Whether the Hu family is celebrating the New Year or suppressing evil spirits, as long as they are no longer absent, everyone will still be on the same page..."
"No matter what the outcome of the appointment in Shiting is, we will have to say one word to each other in the end."
