Chapter 49 Days of Hard Study

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In terms of learning progress, the two are roughly on par, but in fact, the level of efficiency can be seen from the level of effort. From this perspective, Zhao Ran was completely defeated by Zhu Meng.

    Of course, Zhao Ran would not give up. In addition to continuing to grit his teeth and work hard, he also used extra moves in an attempt to shake Zhumeng's will to learn.  He exchanged letters with Yumo more and more frequently, and each time he would place the letters grandly on the desk in the outer hall. The purpose was to annoy the Mongolians and add trouble to them.

    This trick worked very well. Every time Zhu Meng saw the letter, he would look unhappy and deliberately provoke Zhao Ran when he had nothing to say.  Zhao Ran responded with sharp words while feeling secretly happy.

    Since he wrote too many letters, Zhao Ran always had to find some topics to talk about, so Yu Mo also learned about the academic struggle between the two.  Yu Mo was both angry and funny and wrote back to Zhao Ran, asking him not to be angry with Zhu Meng. The reason is very simple. Being angry like this is actually using his own weakness to fight against the opponent's strengths. It would be weird if he can win!

    Yu Mo told Zhao Ran that Zhu Meng had been known as a child prodigy in the capital since he was a child. He became enlightened at the age of five, wrote poems at the age of seven, passed the childbirth examination at the age of eleven, won the case at the age of thirteen, and became a scholar at the age of eighteen.  When he was a senior high school student in Sichuan Provincial Township Examination, he was an absolute outstanding scholar.  If he hadn't been favored by the Taoist sect, he would have gone to the capital to try out this year.  This is called extraordinary talent, and it cannot be matched by normal people.  She told Zhao Ran not to waste his efforts competing with Zhu Meng, because Huayun Pavilion had already reserved this guy. After this year, this guy will be a disciple of Master Liang Tengxian and practice the art of immortality.

    Yumo's evaluation of Zhumeng actually aroused Zhao Ran's desire to win. Well, you will not be the same as "my generation" in a year. We learned different things at that time, and I can't even catch up with you.  Then at least for this year, I will never be thrown out of the eight streets by you!

    So Zhao Ran added homework to himself and began to study "Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing" and "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi".  These two scriptures are not accessible to those who are new to the scripture hall. Without a solid foundation in the "Four Sons" scriptures, if you want to truly understand these two scriptures, using the words "half the result with twice the effort" is a bit unsatisfactory.  And even if you learn to understand the "Four Sons" Sutra, you may not be able to understand these two sutras.

    "Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing" mainly involves the key points of health care, including breath conditioning, diet and health care, spiritual mobilization, etc., and even the secrets of the house.  Many chapters in the second half of this sutra were deleted in the Quanzhen Taoist Palace, but Zhengdao did not prohibit eating, drinking, and drinking of men and women, so the sutra preserved in the Wuji Palace is the complete version.

    "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi" talks about the theory of external elixirs, that is, how to make elixirs.

    You will definitely not be able to understand these two scriptures just by reading them, because the two scriptures are based on the basic principles of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Diagrams, and require calculations and deductions. They involve a large number of obscure nouns that are similar to the mathematical symbols of later generations. If you want to understand these two scriptures,  If you have two books, you must study books related to Zhouyi and Five Elements.

    In the Sutra Hall of Wujiyuan, only a general understanding of these two books is required, and it counts as much as one can understand. There are no specific requirements.  But if you can correctly answer the questions about these two scriptures in the monthly and annual exams, it will definitely give a high bonus to the evaluation of your scores.

    In fact, it is not only the "Huangdi Yinfu Jing" and "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi", but also the "Tai Xuan Jing", "Huang Ji Jing", "Tai Shang Huang Ting Jing Jing Jing" and "Tai Xuan Jing" which Zhao Ran has not read yet.  "Shanghuangting Inner Scenery and Wai Jing" all belong to the same category, and are scriptures that only Taoist boys in the Sutra Hall will dabble in for more than three years.  But it is just a dabbling, and the Taoist Academy does not make any specific requirements.

    When Zhao Ran was reading the scriptures, no one explained to him that these scriptures already belong to the category of spiritual practice. Of course, they can only be effective in spiritual practice if they are combined with other scriptures and secrets in secret places such as pavilions and pavilions.  The Taoist priests in Fang Linlin's palace only understand the Taoist sect's requirements.

    But Zhao Ran didn't know and didn't care so much. He relied on his golden fingers, so he picked up the book and started to recite it. After reciting it for more than a month, he memorized two scriptures, but what was said in the scriptures?  If he can understand two out of ten, that's good enough.

    Ranking first in the monthly exams for six consecutive times. Such results are extremely difficult for newcomers. Not only were the professors at the Sutra Hall surprised, but it also caused an uproar and uneasiness among the sutra chanting boys.  For example, Ma Zhili, who always ranked first in exams, seemed to be a little stimulated. It is said that he studied harder and his attitude towards Zhao Ran became much colder.

    However, Zhao Ran didn't care about this at all. He was busy fighting against Zhu Meng in all aspects. How could he have time to care about Ma Zhili's problem?

    In the eighth month, Zhao Ran picked up the tome "Supreme Huanglu Dazhai Establishment Ceremony".  This sutra is a compulsory course for Taoist reciters. It describes how to set up a Dharma altar, how to perform rituals, how to pray, how to maintain a house, how to repose, etc.As far as Zhao Ran understands the methods and precautions of the Liezhai Jiao Ceremony, it is basically a Taoist business manual.  If you want to gain a foothold in Taoism, deal with the secular world, and become a good Taoist priest with a future, you must learn this Taoist book.

    Zhao Ran still remembered that at the ritual ceremony last year when the patriarch passed away, the Taoist priests from Qinghe Temple who were invited performed a dazzling fasting ritual performance, and then drove away the carloads of rituals.  This is definitely a shortcut to getting rich!

    The entire "Supreme Huanglu Dazhai Licheng Ceremony" has a total of fifty-seven volumes and more than 100,000 words. Reading it made me dizzy, but Zhao Ran still gritted his teeth and started the difficult journey of memorizing it.  Fortunately, this book is a practical reference book. Unlike the "Four Sons" Scripture, which requires reading various annotations and compilations, there is nothing too esoteric and everyone can basically understand it. Therefore, Zhao Ran opened his mind and read it.  Fingers, I bravely recited page after page.

    The original intention of fasting is to cleanse one's mind and body before sacrifices and ceremonies to show one's piety. The specific method of fasting is called "Zhaifa"; and Jiao, in Taoism, specifically refers to praying for blessings and warding off disasters, also known as "making Jiao".  In this "Supreme Huang Lu Great Zhai Establishment Ceremony", the Zhai immediately sets up a Zhai altar, respectfully invites the Immortal Master and Saint Ancestor to send down magic power, manifest magical powers, eliminate monsters and subjugate demons, calm the soul and subdue the world. After the fast, a ritual ceremony is held to reward the gods.  Well - this is over, you can go back, thank you very much!

    Different prayer plans have different fasting rituals, the gods to be invited are also different, marriage and childbirth are different, promotion and getting rich are different, disaster relief and illness relief are different, home security and requiem are differentevery time  The various aspects of the Zhai Jiao ceremony are different, from the memorial ceremony to the altar building, to the memorial ceremony and the obeisance ceremony, to the morning and afternoon pilgrimage, and finally to the altar opening and the setting of the altar.  Even if you pray for the same prayer with the same intention, you still need to make detailed adjustments based on the time, location, people, and even specific reasons.

    Among them, the texts, scriptures, hand tactics, magic weapons, mandala printing, steps of flowers, scores and essays, etc.

    For example, to set up the Lingbao Huanglu Zhai Altar, you need to set up an inner altar, a middle altar, and an outer altar. The inner altar alone needs to open ten doors, and requires eighteen long red silk ribbons, ten short silk ribbons, and purple ropes.  Or a green rope, divided into three lines - each of which has a different method of encircling it. The length and size of the silk ribbon also have specific requirements, and the method of knotting the rope is also specific and subtle.

    In addition to the three altars, there are also different ways of lighting lamps, such as the ten directions and nine palaces, the twenty-eight constellations, the natal lamp, the Five Mountains lamp, the Nine Nether lamp, the Liujia and Ten Straight lamps, etc. It will give people a splitting headache.

    In fact, the voluminous "Supreme Yellow Urn Dazhai Establishment Ceremony" is the main assessment content of the first-class examination paper of Wujiyuan, and it is the "eating guy" that the chanting and Taoist boys will have the energy to study after three years.  Zhao Ran used the golden finger of his mind, which was a killer weapon, and coupled with the halo of the protagonist, it took him more than a month to memorize it, and he could only memorize it. If he wanted to master it flexibly and proficiently, then  It is not something that can be achieved overnight.

    Before the October exam, Zhao Ran applied to Liu Jingzhu and Jiang Gaogong to participate in the first-class examination paper. He was full of confidence and planned to overwhelm Zhumeng in one fell swoop in this way - he also got a first-class ranking, but what I did was  A-level exam questions, let¡¯s see what you, a guy who does B-level exam questions, can do to compete with me?

    Thank you yangzhigang and Xiongzhan Cangtianxia for the reward!
