Opening an altar in Taoism is a very sacred thing.
To put it simply, opening an altar is to pay homage to the ancestor and respectfully request the immortal’s decree. otbnkotgt There didn't seem to be enough people today, but I didn't know much about this, so I stood aside with the fat man to watch what was going on.
In the courtyard, there are statues of the Sanqing gods behind the altar table.
The altar table in front is covered with red cloth, with incense burners and tributes placed on it.
Candles are lit.
The red cloth is embroidered with Taoist scriptures and dragon-shaped patterns, which looks solemn and solemn.
Mr.
Yu put on a purple-gold robe and a jeweled hat, with a solemn face.
Master Han, on the other hand, stood nearby wearing a blue Taoist robe, with the same solemn look on his face.
The two of them first bowed three times to the statue of Sanqing, then lit incense and bowed again.
The fat man and I didn't dare to speak during the whole process.
After praying, Master Han on the side took out several long red strips of paper and pasted them on the red cloth.
There were golden writings on the paper, which looked very much like talisman paper.
Yu Lao picked up a wooden sword from the table beside him.
He held the sword in his right hand and lightly held a gold cup in his left hand.
There was lamp oil in the gold cup.
His hand made the shape of a lotus, and the sword tip lightly landed on the edge of the gold cup.
Then Yu Lao started to circle around the yard.
He said he was going in circles, but his steps were very strange.
It doesn't look like a normal step, it seems to be walking according to a certain pattern.
Maybe this is the Taoist method I have always heard about.
The so-called steps are just a general term.
Taoist practitioners not only need to meditate and gain enlightenment, but also practice body shape and steps.
Legend has it that Taoist steps contain psychic abilities, and the steps are formations, and all formations have great power.
While Lao Yu was stepping on the steps, Master Han next to him was holding a copper bell and shaking it gently, while he was mumbling something.
At this time, I turned around and whispered to the fat man: "It feels so mysterious."
The fat man nodded and did not dare to answer.
Mr.
Yu walked around the venue seven times, then stood still.
The wooden sword dipped in lamp oil suddenly moved forward and poked a yellow paper talisman in front of him.
Then Mr.
Yu pointed at him again.
He took a step forward and lit the yellow paper in his hand on the candle.
At the end of the day, the yellow paper burned.
Yu Lao held the burning yellow paper charm in his hand but was not nervous at all.
He turned his arm and the burning yellow paper charm swept across all the paper charms hanging on the red cloth.
At this moment, the fire spread on the red cloth, and the paper charms floated in the breeze, accompanied by dazzling flames.
Fatty and I both became nervous.
This is a private house.
What if a fire accidentally breaks out?
However, what worries both of us is that the redundant wooden sword rotates, and the blade sweeps across all the burning paper charms.
At this time, from my point of view, it looks like Mr.
Yu is wielding a flaming sword.
"Won't a wooden sword burn?"
I was secretly surprised.

At this moment, the wind around me suddenly stopped.
Each burning paper talisman was attached to the wooden sword.
Not only did the wooden sword not burn, but it seemed that the flames on the paper talismans showed no sign of spreading. .
"I heard that there are experts who specialize in the art of the Five Elements and can control the power of water and fire.
When my grandfather was fighting in the war, I saw an old man in Shijiazhuang.
He could fish out ice cubes from hot water and charcoal from flames.
Can’t believe it.”
The fat man's eyes widened and he murmured in a low voice.
I nodded subconsciously, and then I saw Master Han coming next to me.
He had stopped chanting.
He waved his hand gently, and the paper charms originally attached to the wooden sword fell off one by one and fell to the ground.
The flames slowly extinguished on the ground, and the paper talisman had been burnt black.
The fat man pulled me forward and lowered his head to take a look.
Both of our faces were shocked.
I only saw that although the paper talisman on the ground was burnt, coincidentally, there was still a golden part that was not burned.
It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the runes drawn in golden handwriting were intact.
Fatty and I were surprised, but we couldn't explain why.
At this time, Mr.
Yu and Master Han next to me were both speechless when they saw the runes on the ground.
Master Han patted me on the shoulder and said, "Pull out a few of your hair and give it to me."
I paused, but didn't ask any more questions.
I hurriedly reached out and grabbed a few hairs and handed them to Master Han.
After taking it, Master Han silently recited a curse, and then placed the hairs on the burnt talisman paper.
I don’t know if it’s because there are still sparks left on the talisman, or if the surface temperature is too high.
The hair burned immediately after falling on it, and then thick black smoke actually came out from the hair.
The black smoke floated in front of us and did not dissipate for a long time.
"Almost."
Mr.
Yu nodded after looking at the black smoke.
I looked at him with doubtful eyes.
He pointed at the hair and talismans on the ground and said: "I opened the Golden Talisman Tianyuan Altar for you, not the big altar, but with the My junior brother and I can still tell if there is something wrong behind your back.
The purpose of keeping your hair is to fix your soul.
If the smoke is light and light, it means that you are fine, but you are just out of luck.
Look how thick the black smoke is.”
I raised my head, black smoke floated into the sky, and many people in the surrounding neighbors were already shouting.
When I first burned the talisman paper, the smoke was not so exaggerated, but a few of my hairs caused the exaggerated situation.
"Mr.
Yu, does this mean that my brother has been tripped up?"
The fat man was also a little anxious and asked.
"When a person encounters strange things so frequently, you can actually tell that something is wrong without opening a forum.
Either he is born with a weak body, his horoscope is too light, and he is easily contaminated by ghosts.
Or there is someone behind the scenes.
Today I opened this forum, The people on the other side should also know, maybe they will come to us in the evening.
Don’t leave tonight, just stay here.
It’s just a good time for you little kid to think about what I just said.”

Yu Lao left us two to stay.
In fact, Fatty and I didn't really want to leave.
Knowing that we were being tricked behind our backs, I felt uneasy until the matter was resolved.
The two masters here were somewhat at ease.
Master Han made an empty room at home, and at night, Fatty and I lived on the second floor.
The fat man had a few drinks with the two old masters in the evening, and fell asleep soon after going to bed.
I leaned against the window and looked out.
From here I could vaguely see the night view of Shanghai.
At that time, there was no Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, and there were not many high-rise buildings.
The Peace Hotel stood out from the crowd.
However, even so, the night view of Shanghai is still very beautiful.
Under the flashing neon lights and cars flashing on the streets from time to time, this metropolis, which has been called the city that never sleeps, is dazzling.
I live in such a city, but I have half-stepped into the strange world of ghosts, and I can't help but feel a little melancholy.
Lao Hei and Zhu Zi both seemed to have said similar things.
Once you enter this industry, it will be difficult to look back, as if this is a road of no return.
But it is full of challenges and adventures.
I suddenly smiled bitterly when I imagined the days when I would stand in the factory workshop and deal with parts and oil every day.
Perhaps, I have longed for a life like beads from the beginning.
Wandering around the world, selling ghosts and monsters, a life full of challenges and dangers but an exciting one.
Thinking about it now, that was probably the first time I made a decision for myself, and it was also the first major turning point in my life.
The striking sound of the old-fashioned desk clock came from the first floor.
Twenty-three struck, which meant that it was already eleven o'clock at night.
I yawned and it was time to go to bed.
I lay on the bed and just closed my eyes when I suddenly heard a shout from below: "Where did you come from, little devil, dare to break into my door?"
The shout was clearly Master Han.
I jumped up from the bed, kicked the fat man, then put on my clothes and walked out of the room.
When I reached the stairs and looked out through the window, I saw Master Han standing in the yard in his pajamas.
There was no light in the room, and the surroundings were dark, but a small green thing could be vaguely seen moving around.
"What's going on?"
The fat man came out muttering, and I whispered: "It seems like a kid broke in."
After hearing this, the fat man's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly came over.
He only saw Yu Lao standing on one side in the yard, and Master Han facing the little green thing, looking a little angry.
Fatty and I hurriedly walked to Mr.
Yu and asked, "Lao Yu, what's going on?"
"I opened the altar during the day, and at night the person who got you sent a kid to explore the way, but when I entered the door, I was discovered by my junior brother."
Mr.
Yu pointed at the small group of green gadgets in front of me.
I looked intently.
The first thing that caught my eye was an ugly face like an old man:
