All Heavens: Get the Nine Swords at the start

Chapter 210 Sacrifice
"Above the nine heavens, only the Tao is the only one, and among all dharmas, burning incense is the first!!"

"One invites the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the other invites Taoist Patriarch Sanqing..."

"Three requests for the Patriarch Tablet!"

An original Tianzong elder raised his hands in front of his chest and walked in front of the crowd. He bent slightly, with a very respectful expression, holding a brocade scroll in his hand.

Behind this elder, followed by three elders who were originally in charge of the Sanqing Hall, and each of them also held a scroll made of brocade in their hands.

Behind them are dozens of straight disciples, their faces are full of respect, and they hold the tablets of the ancestors of Taoism in their hands.

From the three most well-known Taoist sages, Laozi, Liezi, and Zhuangzi, to some unknown masters who were famous all over the world at the time...

wow...

All Taoist disciples, regardless of their status, saluted respectfully, waiting for worship...

"Incense!!"

Punches of incense were handed out to each disciple. According to their positions, ordinary disciples held one incense stick, elders held three sticks of incense, great elders held five sticks of incense, and supreme elders held seven sticks of incense. Lift nine sticks of incense.

"Respect heaven and earth!"

A pair of brocade with the words "Heaven and Earth" written on it was hung on the viewing platform. According to Bai Yunzi's command, everyone held incense sticks in their hands, and after bowing three times, they inserted the incense sticks in their hands into the furnace one by one.

The fragrance comes from the sincerity, the smoke comes from the letter, sincerity reaches the heavens, and all the truths descend to the Yao level.

The Tao is learned by the heart, and the mind needs to be expressed through the incense. When the incense is burned in the incense burner, people's minds are also conveyed to the ancestors' ears along with the incense.

Therefore, no matter which family, incense is an indispensable thing when worshiping. People believe that incense is the only way for them to get in touch with their deceased ancestors.

As the head of the Taoist school, Li Ming had to complete all the "Shangtouxiang" for worship, followed by the elders such as Xiao Meng and Bei Mingzi.

The next ones are the great elders like Bai Yunzi, elders, disciples...

When burning incense, you should hold the incense foot in your left hand and light the ring head down, and then silently recite the incense mantra in your heart: "Always burn the incense in your heart, and you will get great peace..."

If the incense head accidentally ignites an open flame, do not blow it out with your mouth, just lightly fan it with your right hand, or shake the incense to extinguish the open flame.

Then pinch the upper end of the incense foot with the thumb of the left hand and the index finger, and the lower end of the incense foot with the thumb of the right hand and the index finger. Hold the incense with both hands in this way and place it in front of the chest.

"To make offerings to the Tao with all your heart, you should wish all living beings to always serve the heaven and the earth, and escape from reincarnation forever..."

After three prostrations, Li Ming held the incense and walked to the stove, and recited softly, and the other disciples agreed one after another. After the recitation was over, Li Ming took a step, and respectfully inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

Countless incense sticks gathered together, like a white dragon soaring up to the heavens...

This calligraphy actually has a lot of origins. It was written by the patriarch Laozi himself after he became enlightened, and it has been hung in the forbidden area of ​​Taiyi Mountain. Only when the sacrificial ceremony is held every year, will it be invited out for everyone to worship.

"Two respects to Taoist ancestor Sanqing!"

The same steps, there are special disciples to distribute incense to everyone.

After three respectful obeisances, Li Ming still walked to the incense burner first and recited softly:

"Sincerely offering sutras, we should wish all living beings, life after life, to hear the true Dharma..."

"The Sutra of Sutras of Sincere Offering..."

After Li Ming finished speaking, the rest of the people also began to chant softly.

The strange thing is that this time the incense did not go straight into the sky like before, but surrounded the venue like a cloud of mist, and the lingering incense cloud made the worship site look like a fairyland.

"Three respects to the sages and ancestors!!"

"Sincere supporters, I wish all living beings to learn the best vehicle and not fall into wrong views."

"Learn the best, don't fall into wrong views!!"

After all the disciples put the incense in their hands into the incense burner, Bei Mingzi took a step forward, bowed respectfully in front of the tablets of the ancestors, and said softly:
"Heaven and man return to Taoism, and Taoism returns to unity. May the ancestors bless Taoism to return to the prosperous age..."

call……

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up the incense and flew into the air.

The incense was suspended in mid-air, and a purple halo came from the sky. The purple light shone on the incense in the air, and the incense began to change, slowly turning into a human form...

The body, limbs, head, long hair, and finally the facial features gradually emerged on the face. The figure transformed by Xiangyun is not only one person, but there are dozens of them at a glance.

The three figures standing in the front were recognized by everyone with just a glance.

In the center is Patriarch Lao Tzu, Patriarch Lie Tzu is standing on Lao Tzu's right hand, Patriarch Zhuang Zi is standing on his left, and behind him is a figure that is not very familiar to everyone.

However, the two patriarchs standing in the last sect are very familiar to the older generation of Taoists, and they are the heads of the previous generation of the Second Heaven and Man sect.

"Kun Pengzi pays homage to the ancestors!!"

Li Ming bowed respectfully to salute, and then all the disciples also bowed to salute.

"I'm waiting to pay my respects to the ancestors!"

Many elder disciples of the Taoists who were guarding the formation far outside the mountain saw the figure of the ancestor suddenly appearing above the Guanmiao Terrace, and they also saluted respectfully and silently recited the Tao Te Ching.

Shocked salamander, no, it should be called Ming Weizi at this moment. She has long been worshiped in Taoism and also holds the position of elder. Naturally, she is no exception, and she also respectfully salutes.

During this period of time in South Korea, apart from completing the tasks arranged by Li Ming, Mingwei was also studying Taoist classics, but most of what she read were Taoist classics that are common on the market.

In later generations, anyone can read a few lines of the Tao Te Ching. At this time, it is the second only to the Taoist classics in Taoism. It is impossible to see it outside.

However, Taoism talks about sincerity, as long as you have the Tao in your heart, you can recite any Taoist scriptures. Ming Wei silently recited a scripture, her face full of respect.

After listening carefully, I could hear a few voices, presumably she was praying for her daughter.

As the head of Kui Kui Hall of the peasant family, Shengqi naturally knew a lot about the ancestors of the hundred schools. He recognized the identities of the first three people at a glance. He is also a member of the Taoist school now, so he naturally dared not neglect. A salute.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng looked at the people around them and bowed respectfully. After looking at each other, they quickly bent down to salute, but their etiquette was a bit nondescript compared with the people next to them. etiquette……

However, this is no wonder to them. The two of them grew up among the birds in the night and received all kinds of cruel training. In terms of magic and secret skills, where do you know so much about other aspects...

The two of them lowered their heads and carefully looked at the dozens of figures surrounded by purple air and clouds in the distance. They seemed to have been sublimated...
