Chapter 1372: Heavenly Lord’s Blessing
The three Taoist priests were silent.
Manbao folded up the bowls and put them aside. He said to him, "Did you have a nightmare? I'll prescribe you a prescription to calm your nerves when we get home."
"No," Bai Jilang refused, "The medicine is too bitter. I won't take it."
Manbao: "How many injections should I give you?"
Bai Erlang refused even more. Although her skills had improved a lot now and acupuncture was not very painful, he was still very scared every time he saw her waving such a long needle in front of him.
Manbao shrugged his shoulders and let him go.
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "If you're really afraid of getting angry after eating too much, let Daohe give you a talisman."
Daohe said that it was no problem, he already knew how to draw talismans now, and he didn't need a master to do it himself, he could draw one for him.
Daohe handed the book and medical manual to his master and uncle, then got up and took them out to draw talismans.
Seeing him grinding ink and drawing runes that they couldn't understand, Bai Erlang couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "Does this thing really work?"
Daohe nodded seriously, "It works."
He folded the talisman and led them to the main hall, then placed it in front of the incense and candles. He sat cross-legged on the cushion and chanted to it with a pious look on his face.
The three of them stood there bored and listened. At first, they were a little bored and irritable, but after listening for a while, Manbao found that he could recite this passage of scripture himself, so he simply sat on the cushion next to him and recited along.
Listening to these scriptures, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's hearts gradually calmed down. They simply sat on an empty cushion beside them and started reciting along.
Daohe was reciting the simplest scriptures, which they had all read before and could recite most of them.
There was no other way. Qian believed in it, and Manbao also believed in Master Tianzun. She felt that what her mother said was right, and Master Tianzun would bless each of them.
At the same time, I felt that Koko was right. Perhaps there were no ghosts or gods in this world, and all this was just the wishful thinking of mortals.
In order to trace the origin, she looked for Taoist books to read.
It was the teacher who told her that Taoism and Taoist temples are different. Taoist temples belong to Taoists, and Taoists practice Taoism, but Taoism has its own views on governing the world, just like Confucianism, Legalism, Military Science and Mohism.
Because she was still young, the teacher only gave her three books to read. Bai Shan and she had always read similar books. They both found the "Tao Te Ching" and several scriptures easy to remember, and they often took them out to make up the number of books during morning classes.
Bai Erlang will learn it if he listens more.
Bai Erlang closed his eyes and recited a passage. His mind became calm, and with the smell of sandalwood wafting in the air, he couldn't help feeling sleepy, and his head began to nod.
When he came to his senses, Bai Shan and the other two had turned their cushions around and were sitting face to face, talking.
Seeing him get up, Manbao turned around and asked with a smile: "Awake?"
Bai Shan stood up and said, "Then let's go down the mountain."
Bai Erlang fell asleep at some point, using three cushions as cushions and a cotton coat to cover himself.
He scratched his head embarrassedly and stood up, "I fell asleep, why didn't you call me?"
Bai Shan looked into his eyes and said seriously, "We called you, but you didn't wake up."
Bai Jilang opened his mouth, "I slept so soundly?"
Manbao also said seriously: "This is all thanks to the blessing of Lord Tianzun."
Bai Erlang tilted his head back to look at the statue of Taishang Laojun, his face filled with awe, "If I fall asleep here, wouldn't that be an insult to the Heavenly Lord?"
Daohe said calmly, "Laojun won't mind. If you get what you want, it will be Laojun's merit."
The three of them fooled Bai Erlang, and Bai Erlang looked very touched.
The three of them couldn't help but roll their round eyes, and when they looked at each other, they couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh.
In fact, they didn't shout, but they probably couldn't wake him up.
The four of them were reciting scriptures when he suddenly nodded his head and fell to the side.
He fell to the ground and was still unconscious. Bai Shan and the other two were stunned.
Manbao carefully stared at the slight blue under Bai Erlang's eyelids and said to Bai Shan at that time: "It seems that he was really scared. Maybe he didn't sleep for the past two nights."
Teenagers in their teens are the ones who sleep the most, and they didn't think it was appropriate to wake him up after he hadn't slept well for two consecutive nights.
Bai Shan was straightforward and put two cushions under him. Sure enough, he moved his body very obediently, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Daohe added a brazier for him, and Daoxu also gave him a cotton coat to cover himself when he came forward.
Then the three of them sat aside and talked. Daoxu listened for a while and felt that these were not topics he liked, so he ran back to the backyard to warm himself by the fire, shaking his hands.
Bai Erlang handed the cotton-padded jacket back to Daohe. Daohe stood up, took the amulet from the incense table and handed it to him, saying, "Put it in your purse and put it under your pillow at night."
Bai Erlang now believes in this amulet very much. He thinks that the reason he can sleep so soundly in the hall without having any nightmares is because Lord Tianzun is protecting him here.
So he took it solemnly and held it in his arms.
Daohe smiled and walked them out the door. Thinking that this separation might last a year, he said, "I'll take you down the mountain."
The four of them walked down the mountain while talking. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Bai Shan's servant drove up with a carriage. Bai Shan helped Man Bao into the carriage first. After Bai Er got in, he said to Dao He, "If you have anything to say, write to us. Goodbye."
Daohe nodded and said, "Take care. I won't see you off tomorrow. Take care on your journey."
Bai Shan nodded, climbed into the carriage and sat down. The three of them waved to Daohe from the window, and the carriage started moving.
Daohe watched the carriage go away until it disappeared, then turned around and went back up the mountain.
When Manbao returned home, Zhou Xi happened to come back with the child.
She came back to see Manbao off. Manbao and the others were leaving early tomorrow morning, so she definitely couldn't make it back so early. Therefore, she came back the night before.
She made a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes for Manbao and stuffed them directly into her suitcase. She said, "You will be on the road for a long time. It will be difficult to change clothes on the road. It would be convenient to prepare two more sets of clothes for you to change into. Put away the dirty clothes and wash them when you arrive in the capital."
Manbao agreed.
She took out a small bundle and whispered to Manbao, "These are small clothes. I thought mother and sister-in-law must have prepared them for you, but I still made two sets for you. They are made of the cloth you gave me. They are very close-fitting and smooth, and they won't be disgusting. You can change them on the way."
She placed the small bag on the top of the box so that it would be easy to take.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Zhou Xi touched her head and said with a smile: "Big sister, I have something interesting here, do you want to listen?"
"What's fun?"
"Last year, on your nephew's hundredth day, Liu Dalang from Liujia Village came to visit quietly. Your brother-in-law happened to see him and beat him up."
Manbao immediately perked up, his eyes sparkling as he asked, "What did he come here for?"
Zhou Xi knew that if there was anything that could divert Manbao's attention, besides delicious food, it would only be gossip.
I am begging for monthly tickets, and book friends who still need monthly tickets please give them to me as much as you can.
