The Kitchen God Sect has its own rules.
When disciples are doing things outside, they must firstly worship Zao Lord Si Ming, and secondly, worship the founder of the sect and the ancestors of all generations.
The statues of the Kitchen God they worship are different from those worshiped by ordinary people.
The Kitchen God taught by the Kitchen King usually holds a small jar in his left and right hands, which are called "good jars" and "evil jars".
A good jar brings blessings, and an evil jar removes disaster.
The Kitchen King's disciples also have two jars in their hands, one good and one evil, but only they know the specific uses, and no one else can touch them.
The founder of the sect usually has a god main tablet, but the ancestors of the previous generations, unless they have made great achievements, do not set up a separate god main tablet and offer sacrifices in a unified way.
However, there will be something similar to a genealogy, which records the commendable things that the ancestors of the past generations have done in their lives.
For example: "In the 41st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Sheng, a disciple of the Kitchen King, found an evil trick in Zongyang White Tea House. The trick bit people. Wherever it passed, there were bones everywhere..."
In just two or three pages, or even only one and a half pages, it is the life of a disciple of the Kitchen King.
The purpose of the Kitchen King Sect is to help people ward off evil spirits, eliminate disasters, and welcome good fortune.
Wherever the Kitchen King teaches his disciples, everything is basically safe.
Because when encountering something weird, the disciples of Kitchen King's Cult will take action.
Apart from anything else, when it comes to solving weird problems, the Kitchen God Cult's methods are truly unique and astonishing to all other sects.
A jar of pot ashes mixed with glutinous rice and crushed into a sun-dried powder, a piece of red cloth that had been used for countless years, and an ink pipe rope were all the possessions.
These are very common items.
Especially pot ashes, which are abundant in rural areas, have become an indispensable weapon for the Stove King to teach his disciples to subjugate demons.
The key lies in the formulas and spells taught by Kitchen King.
Furthermore, the disciples taught by the Kitchen King are basically village banquet cooks with good cooking skills. They also like to use earthen stoves to cook, which makes it easier to collect ashes from the bottom of the pot. Their control over the heat is far beyond ordinary people.
Combining these points, it is basically the Kitchen King's teachings to his disciples that are correct.
However, even so, there is very little information that can reveal their identities.
Therefore, it is normal that the people do not know much about Kitchen God Sect.
…
Huang Jun is a village banquet chef.
At least that's how it appears on the surface.
And his other identity is that of a disciple taught by the Kitchen King.
The Kitchen God Sect has a history of thousands of years and has been glorious in the past. Although it cannot compare with those famous and decent sects, it is not comparable to ordinary sects.
It's a pity that it declined later.
There are many reasons for its decline. The most common reason is that the Zaowang Sect is stricter in selecting disciples than other teachings, and the training process is also quite long. In ancient times, there were no such stable conditions as today, especially in years of disaster and chaos, and the inheritance was cut off.
This lineage like his was passed down from the ancestor Yu Jingyi during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
According to legend, Patriarch Yu had a rough fate in his early years. He failed the imperial examinations many times and many of his children died or disappeared one after another. He felt that he was kind to others and did not deserve this retribution, so he prayed to the Kitchen God, hoping that God would open his eyes and spare him the suffering.
The Kitchen God said: "You do good things in front of others, but do evil things behind others. You look like a good person on the outside, but you hide the evil in your heart. The sky is vast and sparse, and there are no leaks. If you want to change your life, don't deceive yourself."
Those words awakened the dreamer.
After that, Patriarch Yu deeply repented and reformed.
He frequently failed the examination when he was young, but later successfully passed the Jinshi examination. He was inspired by the Kitchen God and opened up the Yu Zao lineage, which has been passed down to this day.
Yuzu's lineage has been passed down for four hundred years, and there have been some amazingly talented and beautiful people among them, and the lineage was almost cut off.
When it came to Huang Jun's generation, the master took him and his senior brother under his wing.
In the words of the master: "You two are both brave and careful types, and your destiny is very tough. As for collecting tricks, you can't do this job if you are timid, and you can't do it if you are careless. If you are not careful, you will be tricked. Life. It doesn’t matter if you’re not tough in character, and if you’re not tough in character, I’ll bully you.”
Huang Jun has been in this business for almost ten years, from an ignorant young man to a middle-aged uncle today.
The master also passed away a few years ago, leaving only him and his senior brother.
As for the Kitchen God Sect of other branches, he also asked the master when he was still alive. The master's answer was: "We will meet each other if we are destined. We are all ordinary people who come to the world to suffer. There is no difference whether we see them or not."
However, it is certain that the Stove King teaches people that they are not prosperous.
At least he had never heard of a third successor to the Kitchen God Sect in Shangsi or even in Fangcheng.
Maybe he doesn't know.
…
"Is Huang Jun at home?"
Someone shouted outside the door.
Huang Jun opened the door and saw the fifth aunt from the village, and asked, "What's the matter, aunt?"
The fifth aunt was a little anxious: "My eldest brother and his daughter-in-law may have hit something. Can you help take a look?"
Huang Jun nodded: "Okay, I have nothing else to do today. Where is he?"
"Washington Palace by the Siyang River."
It's not far, just a 10-minute drive.
Huang Jun said: "Wait a moment, I will get something. You can get in my car and we will set off."
The fifth aunt was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Huang Jun's reputation is not small in this area. Many people know that he is capable. In addition to being good at cooking, he also knows martial arts.
Different from the ordinary Taoist priest, it is said that he worships the Kitchen God.
That's an incredible person.
Huang Jun waved his hand: "Hey, you're welcome, we're all our own people. Just a moment."
"..."
Huang Jun returned to the house and immediately looked at the charity jars in his two jars.
The jar is about the size of a palm, 20 centimeters, and is carved from fine locust wood. There's probably about a quarter of the stuff inside.
"It should be enough." Huang Jun whispered.
For ordinary dirty things, this amount can be used at least three times.
But it also reminded him that it was time to get more "sneaky food".
Weird food is one of the secrets taught by the Kitchen King. Use the ash from the bottom of a wood-fired stove, add glutinous rice, grind it into powder and mix it. After applying the formula, it becomes Weird's favorite food.
Why use pot ash?
According to the Kitchen God Sect, the inside of the pot is for people to eat, and the bottom of the pot is for people to eat.
Up and down.
This is why some people see human figures in the fire when they burn wood stoves.
Because something is being eaten secretly.
And glutinous rice is also more attractive to weird people than ordinary rice. The combination of the two is extremely attractive to Weird.
…
There are two jars of good and evil, and the jar of evil is naturally indispensable.
Evil jars are used to contain deceit.
It is made of fine jujube wood and is engraved with all kinds of charms. If you throw it in if you throw it in, you will be trapped inside and never come out.
This cover is a one-way channel.
So far, it has contained more than 50 dirty things, large and small.
Evil jars are not easy to make. Each Kitchen God disciple only has one like this in his life. The talisman on it was carved for him personally by the master.
It will be taken to the tomb after death.
If Huang Jun wanted to accept a disciple one day, he would have to get a pair of good and evil jars like this for his disciple.
Then there was a piece of tattered red cloth that had been used for who knows how many years and had faded.
Don't underestimate this red cloth. If you want to trap Weirdness, you have to rely on it.
Then there is the Mo Dou line, which was learned from Lu Ban. Once the red cloth is covered and the ink line is tied, this trick cannot escape.
Then transfer it to the evil jar, and it will be considered a success.
It sounds simple, but in fact the process is not easy at all, after all, it is tricky!
…
Huating by the river.
Huang Jun and his fifth aunt came to her niece-in-law's house.
As soon as he entered the door, Huang Jun noticed something was wrong. There was indeed something unclean in this familiar smell.
There were many people sitting in the room, but no one spoke.
Everyone looked sad and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Seeing Huang Jun come in, anyone who knew him suddenly stood up in surprise:
"Master Huang!"
Huang Jun said hello briefly and said, "Who can tell me what's going on?"
Finally, the fifth aunt’s nephew, the husband of the client, said: “My wife just goes out to walk the dog, and when she comes back something is wrong. She scolds this and that, saying that none of the sons she has raised is filial. The problem is that we both We've been married for less than a year, and we have no plans to get pregnant for the time being. Where did the child come from? When my dad saw it, he said he might have hit something."
"Did any elderly people die in the community today?"
"No, but I heard that there is one in the community opposite. Coincidentally, it's a grandma in her seventies."
Huang Jun knew what was going on and asked, "Where are the people?"
"I'm tired of scolding. I just went to bed."
"Have a good sleep, have a good sleep." Huang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
If he was still awake, he would have to ask the young man to get some sleeping pills for his wife to take.
In this case, it is impossible to pull the thing out while awake. Only when the host falls asleep can it be possible to leave the body voluntarily.
Huang Jun asked for a small square table to be used as an altar, and placed items such as the statue of the Stove Lord and the incense burner for the ancestor's tablet on it.
Then he solemnly warned everyone: "No matter what you see later, don't make a sound! If you are afraid, it's best to go inside!"
Although the people present were a little nervous, no one said they wanted to enter the house.
Maybe he is worried about his family, or maybe he wants to see how Huang Jun does it. Is he a real person or a liar?
Seeing that no one had any objections, Huang Jun started to do things.
Ka Wen, I feel terribly uncomfortable. I should have known better than to write about Stove King’s teachings. There is too little information to check on this dharma lineage...(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
