Hiding is a necessary procedure for offering images, regardless of Buddhism or Taoism.
There is a saying that all statues of gods must be concealed to respond to the five internal organs.
The formal Taoist method requires the use of five metals, namely: gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin.
Then use five-color grains, five-color threads, and a yellow watch. The internal organs of the statue will also be equipped with mirrors, scriptures, pearl agate and other spiritual objects.
Then there is a certain ritual process, which requires a high-level master to recite sutras.
This means the same as the human internal organs. It is generally believed that only the statues of gods that have undergone the "hiding" ceremony can have divine power.
Of course, after pretending to be hidden, you still need to consecrate it, that is, to have spiritual enlightenment, and you also need to recite the consecration mantra.
However, there are not many folk opinions. Generally, you can just ask a master to open it, or you can hide it yourself with scriptures.
I invited the statue, returned home, and stuffed the Jade Emperor Sutra into the statue. Many people may not know this. In fact, there is a mouth under the statue, and some are made of paper. You can just open a hole and stuff things inside.
After doing this, I respectfully arranged the statues, lit incense, and prayed silently in my heart.
In an instant, I saw the smoke curling up, and an indescribable feeling emerged from the bottom of my heart.
Strictly speaking, I felt a little light-headed at this time, and I seemed to see a few rays of divine light in my eyes, projected from above the statue.
How to describe that divine light...
Just like on a sunny afternoon, you are sitting in front of a bright window, holding a book in your hand and a cup of tea next to you. Then the sun shines in from the window, and you feel warm. Look up, The sunshine is still a bit colorful.
That's probably what it feels like.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and disappeared in two or three seconds. Then I felt that the statues in front of me looked a little different.
I stared at the statue in a daze, and then suddenly yawned greatly.
That was the first time I knew that not only the immortal's induction could make people yawn, but also the immortal's induction could also make people yawn.
Does this mean that I am destined to be an immortal?
Jiutian Xuannv really came to see me, wasn't it just my own random imagination?
After offering these three statues, I worshiped them devoutly. No matter how I looked at them, I felt happy. My heart was no longer filled with panic, and I finally felt at ease.
I told He Yuchen about this, and she said that since you offered sacrifices to Taishang Laojun, why didn't you offer sacrifices to the other two as well? They are Sanqings.
I thought so, but my table is a bit small and can't fit on it, and when I asked for the statue, the one that came to my mind was Taishang Laojun, not the other two.
After thinking about it, I put the Sanqing fan there. Anyway, the fan also had the portraits of the three old gods on it. As long as you are sincere, the fan will be the same!
After a few days, everything in the hall was safe and nothing happened.
But on the morning of February 2nd, I lit incense at the entrance to the hall, placed pig heads and other offerings, and then looked at the names on the list, just as I was about to meditate...
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a name on the list, Huang Tiande.
I thought, this name is so familiar. Isn't this the Qiu Xian from the Queen Mother's five fairies' house last time?
Of course, the names of the immortals in each of the halls are similar. My Huang Tiande cannot be the Huang Tiande of her family. They are not the same person.
But for some reason, when I saw this name, I felt inexplicably anxious, as if a hand had quietly reached into my heart and pulled hard.
I remember very clearly that when the church was first established, there was no such immortal family.
Later, I came back from Nanjing and reopened the church. Many immortals came, and I can’t remember their names. They should have come at that time.
And every time I do things, I don't seem to see this Huang Tiande appear, and he always keeps a low profile.
Just why do I have a special feeling for this name?
The last time I heard the words Huang Tiande, I felt a little weird, and now I finally discovered the problem.
I stared at the name for a long time, but couldn't figure out why, so I simply put on the incense and sat down to feel it.
This time, I directly invited Huang Tianba, the leader of the Huang family.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, within two or three minutes, I felt something all over my body.
I immediately asked in my mind, is it the leader of the Huang family who is here? What is going on with Huang Tiande? Why do I feel awkward when I see him?
A voice quickly answered in my mind: "I am not the leader of the Huang family, I am Huang Tianle, the regent."
Huang Tianle was also an old acquaintance. I felt a little relieved, and then asked: "Check who Huang Tiande is on the list. Is he a loose immortal who got in, or is he occupied by something?"
This kind of thing actually happens in every hall, but only few people can notice it, and most people can't notice it at all.
Huang Tianle responded and left quickly.
After a while, another voice appeared.
"After checking, that Huang Tiande really sneaked in, but he is not at home. I don't know where he went."
The voice didn't sound like Huang Tianle, so I asked, "Which old immortal is it?"
The voice said: "Huang Tianhu, the leader of the third row of the Huang family."
It turned out to be Huang Tianhu. He rarely came out, but his coming out just meant that Huang Tiande's involvement in the court had also attracted their attention.
I asked again: "Where is the old leader Tianba? Isn't he at home?"
Huang Tianhu said: "Yes, Master Hu and Huang are not at home. I am here to tell you that Huang Tiande is indeed not a true immortal. He is your family's enemy."
Qiu Xian? ? ?
When I heard this, my head buzzed, and I suddenly remembered that when I was in Nanjing, there was indeed a Qiu Xian who made trouble. He went to my house to steal chickens, and my father put them in a water tank for him, and asked him to give him a shovel. I filmed it, and finally let the car hit and kill the Huang Xian.
He once put me in a life-and-death situation, causing me to almost be hit by a large truck. Finally, he wanted me to take him to court.
The guy's name was Huang Jinbao. He also said he could help me attract wealth, but I refused. He refused to leave at that time. It was Zhuang Yuwei who scared him away with the Eighteen Rampant Soldiers.
I remember that at that time he once said: Even if you reopen the church, I will still be able to cause trouble, unless you agree to worship me.
He really didn't break his promise, he really came to cause trouble, and he even changed his identity and used Huang Tiande's name to fool me!
