Chapter 260: Accidentally became a Taoist priest
After only two days of writing, Taoist Honglu stopped letting others pass on it. He directly found Jiang Hao and watched him write. Jiang Hao thought to himself, this was too urgent to urge the manuscript.
When Jiang Hao wrote a chapter, the old Taoist took it directly to read it. When Jiang Hao was free, the old Taoist asked some questions inside. The two communicated with each other. In this way, Jiang Hao and the old Taoist became good friends. Under the supervision of the old Taoist, Jiang Hao completed the general outline of the "Maoshan Talisman" in five days.
"Master Taoist, the general outline has been written. You need to prepare yellow paper and cinnabar. I will draw talismans starting tomorrow."
"Okay, okay," Taoist Master Honglu said yes in a series.
Maoshan started with talismans, and there is naturally no shortage of yellow paper and cinnabar, and they are all the best. Many of them are processed by themselves and cannot be bought on the market.
Jiang Hao picked up the pen and finished it in one go, and a talisman came out. He had been used to using the spiritual power in his body to draw talismans, but this time he naturally used it out, allowing the primary talisman to attach spiritual power to this primary talisman.
After the old Taoist priest got the talisman, he was very surprised, "You, you have actually cultivated the true spiritual power."
Oh, it's exposed.
Jiang Hao smiled, "The boy has some opportunities, and he accidentally cultivated a mouthful of spiritual power."
The old Taoist Honglu looked at Jiang Hao with his eyes lit up, "What level has the true spiritual power in your body reached?"
"You can only draw a primary talisman." Jiang Hao didn't hide it. The old Taoist could see the spiritual power on the talisman paper, and he thought he had cultivated it too.
"It's already very good, very good." Old Honglu nodded and looked at Jiang Hao as if he saw a treasure.
After that, Jiang Hao no longer used spiritual power to draw talismans. Besides, he could not draw those intermediate and advanced talismans with spiritual power. The remaining talismans are just a mere appearance.
After a few days, the 108 chapters of talismans were drawn, and the old Taoist regarded it as a treasure. He asked someone to copy it and put it outside. Jiang Hao's copy was directly stored in the library for storage.
After finishing it, Jiang Hao was relieved. He just ate, drank and traveled around Maoshan every day. On this day, Ri Honglu suddenly found Jiang Hao and said with kindness: "My friend Jiang Hao, are you willing to join my Maoshan Sect."
Jiang Hao was stunned, "Master Taoist, you really want me to be a Taoist priest."
"Haha, what's wrong with being a Taoist priest? I am a Taoist priest who does not avoid meat or fish, but if you want to marry a wife and have children, you can practice on the mountain. If you want to live in the secular world, you can live in the secular world, and there are not many taboos." The old Taoist said with a smile.
"Then what's the difference between me or not?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Of course there is a difference. When you enter Maoshan, you can learn my Maoshan classics at will and get worshipped. For example, you don't need to prepare these cinnabar and yellow paper by yourself. In addition, my Maoshan School is still famous in the outside world. After you go out, you can act in the name of Maoshan School." The old Taoist said in a straightforward manner.
"Then can I use the magic weapon in the sect, such as the imperially-given Heavenly Master Seal." Jiang Hao had an idea.
"That seal cannot be used for the time being, but there are well-raised seals in the sect, so you can use them." said the old Taoist.
Jiang Hao was a little moved, so he didn't have to wait for 49 days. He could draw talismans earlier to treat his father. Another point is that it is good to lean on a big tree to enjoy the cool air, and it is only good and no harm to himself.
"When you enter the Taoist sect, are there any rules?"
The old Taoist smiled, "As long as you don't commit crimes without committing crimes, you are no different from ordinary people. As for practice, that's your own business."
Such good conditions, I've done it.
Two days later, Jiang Hao officially became a disciple of Honglu, and held a ceremony of apprenticeship, passing on the tribute, crown scarf, and giving talismans. Jiang Hao became a formal Maoshan Taoist priest, the kind recognized by the state. The old Taoist smiled and handed him a few books. Jiang Hao thought why it was the secret of Maoshan not being passed on, but when he opened it, he was stunned.
"Regulations on Religious Affairs", "Regulations on the Constitution of the Chinese Taoist Association".
"Master, what does this mean?"
"After becoming a Taoist priest, you will naturally have to learn the rules."
"Do you have to memorize all these?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Remember the first sentence mainly."
The first sentence, Jiang Hao opened it and saw that the first sentence reads: "Love the motherland, support the leadership of China, support the socialist system, and abide by the law."
He found the consecrated seal of the Heavenly Master, bathed and changed clothes, burned incense and prayed. Jiang Hao began to draw talismans in his room, and his pen was played with dragons and snakes. Soon a talisman was drawn. He pinched the hand seal and stamped the seal of the Heavenly Master on it.
Finish,
A perfect talisman.
However, most of his spiritual power was consumed. There was no woman here for him to recover his spiritual power, so he could only sit cross-legged and meditate.
The next day, Jiang Hao's spiritual power was restored and he continued to draw talismans. In this way, Jiang Hao drew seven talismans to cure diseases and succeeded in five.
Jiang Hao came to his master Honglu's room, "Master, I'll say goodbye to you."
"Your matter is done." The old Taoist asked.
Jiang Hao had confessed before that he came here to draw talismans and treat his father's illness. The old Taoist asked this question.
"I've done it, I drew seven talismans to cure diseases, and five were enough to treat my father's illness." Jiang Hao said.
"Seven successes and five are already very good. Jiang Hao, you have good talents, but remember that Taoism should not be used randomly. Now that the world is thriving in technology, even if you have cultivated true spiritual energy, a few bullets can kill you. Remember not to commit crimes." Lao Dao Honglu reminded.
"Master, I remember it." Jiang Hao said respectfully.
The old Taoist looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Now, there are only a few people who have achieved success in Maoshan, and they are all old guys. I hope you can pass on the Taoist true skills so that you can not cut off the Taoist Dharma for a day."
This is the real reason why the old Taoist took Jiang Hao.
When he bid farewell to the master and left Maoshan, Jiang Hao himself felt that the experience of this trip to Maoshan was a bit fantastic. He came to raise the seal of the Heavenly Master. Unexpectedly, he finally worshipped Maoshan and became a real Taoist priest, who was still the kind of Taoist priest who was granted talismans and officially recognized by the country.
Moreover, he was a disciple of the contemporary head of Maoshan. His seniority is quite high. Many Taoist priests and even some unshaven guys on the mountain would call him uncle when they saw Jiang Hao.
He also figured out some things.
Are there ghosts in this world? This is something that many people are curious about, and Jiang Hao is no exception.
The old Taoist Honglu said that there is or not. The saying of ghosts is just too mysterious by the people. In fact, real ghosts are just a way of existence of some special energy, such as light, magnetism, electricity, and various shooting directions.
"Master, you still know about rays." Jiang Hao asked in surprise.
The old Taoist said angrily: "Your master, I have been to college, are you not illiterate? I graduated from semiconductor physics back then."
