Uncle Ma hissed and said, "Do you have to expose me? Do you have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year? Go and clean Laojun's shrine for me. Don't forget to burn incense these days. I still have rituals to do." I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you!
He reminded me, so I told him that there are a few people who want to worship Tai Sui, so don’t let others forget it on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Praying to Tai Sui can actually be done by the Ma Immortal, because we are all regular people who have received orders from heaven. Although many people do not recognize the Ma Immortal, the gods in heaven do.
But I'm a bit lazy, and besides, there aren't many people in my group, so I gave them all to Uncle Ma. The same thing is done in Taoist temples, and they are more familiar with the roads.
There is something else I want to say here, that is, someone asked me before if I could obtain the Tai Sui Talisman or the Tai Sui Tips in the temple, or participate in the Tai Sui ritual organized by the temple?
According to my experience, first of all, we cannot say that those tips and charms are useless, including those purchased from some Taoist disciples. In fact, they will have some effect, but it is best to do a ritual of worshiping Tai Sui in a regular Taoist temple, and then wear it to transform Tai Sui. If possible, you can also place a Tai Sui tablet at home. This is the safest and more effective.
The ritual of resolving Tai Sui in temples is different from that of Taoism. It does not mean worshiping Tai Sui, because Tai Sui is the Taoist god and there is no such thing as Tai Sui in Buddhism.
Therefore, the rituals performed in temples to resolve Tai Sui are actually chanting sutras and chanting mantras to bless and dedicate them, in order to achieve the effect of eliminating disasters and praying for blessings.
As for which one to choose, it’s a matter of personal opinion. Just choose for yourself. As the saying goes: Sincerity leads to wisdom.
No matter how you resolve Tai Sui, you must first stand upright and do everything with a righteous mind. As long as your mind is righteous, the gods of heaven and earth will naturally protect you.
After answering, let’s get back to the topic.
Uncle Ma wrote down the information of those people, and then asked me to transfer the money to pray for Tai Sui in the next few days. After nagging me a few words, he was about to hang up the phone.
I quickly asked him how Zhang Wenwen was doing now. Uncle Ma clicked his tongue twice and said that since you are thinking about her, why don't you call her? Are you asking me?
I said pull her down, just take care of her for me and let her practice well and don't miss me!
Uncle Ma also said a few auspicious words to me, wishing me: the three pure blessings, the four emperors' auspiciousness, the five emperors' blessings, the six unions increase blessings, the seven stars grant wealth, the eight trigrams protect the body, the nine stars prolong life, and the ten directions are safe. Blessings are immeasurable!
After hanging up the phone, I remembered that Uncle Ma said he hadn't taken a shower yet, and then I remembered that I hadn't taken a shower either.
In the Northeast, winter is too cold and it is impossible to take a bath every day, so the days before the Chinese New Year are the busiest time for bathhouses, and of course barber shops.
It’s almost getting dark, and I haven’t taken a shower or gotten a haircut. How am I celebrating the New Year?
So I put on my clothes and closed the door, planning to go out and find a place to take a shower.
As a result, before I even got in the car, Ma Yunfeng called.
"Brother, have you taken a shower?"
How did this kid know that I hadn't showered yet? I told him that I hadn't showered yet, but I was about to go out and find a place.
He told me that he hadn't washed it yet, and then asked me to go to the last place with him.
I thought it was okay, so I went to take a bath as before. After waiting for Ma Yunfeng for a while, he came, and then we both went in together.
There is nothing special about the process, just wash first, then rub, and then go to the sauna.
After coming out of the sauna, I suggested a massage to feel comfortable.
Here is a little common sense that I haven’t talked about before, which is about massaging with disciples.
Normally, Chuma disciples cannot be massaged easily, because Chuma disciples have immortals on their bodies, and the Immortals' acupuncture points are the acupuncture points. Only when the acupuncture points are clear can the Immortals go up to the body.
Massage also involves pressing acupuncture points, so disciples should massage as little as possible. Otherwise, if the acupuncture points are accidentally sealed, the Xianjia will have to work hard all over again. If the Xianjia is violated, it will be even worse.
There is also acupuncture, which has the same principle and is more powerful than massage. Don’t go there easily.
But generally speaking, as long as you say hello to Xianjia before the massage and ask Xianjia to get out of the way and don't get hurt, there will basically be no problem.
Besides, massage in the bath is just that. If you ask the technician where and what acupuncture points are, she will be confused.
Cough cough cough…
Anyway, the bath was quite comfortable and the massage was quite comfortable. Then we went out to find a place to get our hair cut, but we waited in a long line until we got home at eleven o'clock in the night.
Turn around and it’s New Year’s Eve.
I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning, and I stumbled to the window. There were several children setting off firecrackers outside.
I looked at the time and it was only seven in the morning.
I wondered whose child was so stupid that he came outside my window so early to set off firecrackers and prevented others from sleeping in. It was the Chinese New Year...
I opened the door and took a deep breath. The cold air was mixed with the long-lost smell of firecrackers. It was really comfortable and friendly.
The children who set off firecrackers also ran over. When I saw it, one of them was actually Xiao Lin, and behind him was Ma Yunfeng...
This guy came early in the morning and was quite diligent.
"Brother Xiaofan, come on, come on, let's set off firecrackers!"
Xiao Lin waved to me excitedly. Looking at their happy faces, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, lit a cigarette, and took the two kicks handed over by a child.
The child asked me to hold it in my hand and put it in my hand. To be honest, I dared to do this when I was a child, but my dad wouldn't let me. Now that I have grown up, my dad doesn't care about me anymore, but I don't dare to do it anymore.
I put the second kicker on the ground and lit the fuse.
Boom!
when!
I raised my head and looked at the firecracker smoke and scattered debris filling the sky. My heart was extremely calm and full of joy.
It seems that all the noise and turmoil have been left in the past, and a new page is about to turn.
This is, a new year.
After setting off the firecrackers, Ma Yunfeng and the others followed me into the house and started tidying up the house. Moreover, Ma Yunfeng was quite thoughtful and bought a lot of fruit gifts, saying that he was filial to the old immortal.
Of course I also prepared the offerings and started to arrange them.
An hour later, looking at the bright and beautiful entrance, I felt very comfortable. Ma Yunfeng was also very happy, but there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes.
It's no wonder, everyone is the same disciple. Last year, my church entrance was blocked, and this year, his church entrance was blocked. Looking at my lively and prosperous situation, I definitely feel uncomfortable.
I asked him how his family was doing now, and he smiled bitterly and said that he hadn't been to the store for a long time. Anyway, the immortal family was away, and it didn't get better after the New Year. He planned to rent out the house.
I said you can't do this. It's the Chinese New Year after all. I'll go with you to see if there's anything better.
Ma Yunfeng looked confused: "This is unlikely, I can't even sense them."
I smiled at him: "Maybe you can sense it when you go. Let's go and make offerings to your old immortal!"
