The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 56: The Sect's Main God
It was a small statue of a goddess with a kind and gentle face.

"Master, who is this god?"

Zhu Ju hurriedly took the statue and examined it with great interest.

The goddess had three eyes, four heads and eight arms. Two of her arms were making seals, and six of her arms were holding weapons. The most eye-catching one was a long spear, which she held diagonally in her hand, higher than her head, making her look more domineering.

"The main deity worshipped by our sect is Zhongtian Brahma Doumu Yuanjun."

Peng Xuan responded.

Zhu Ju couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this.

"Oh...it's Doumu."

"Why not the Three Pure Ones? Dou Mu shouldn't be as powerful as the Three Pure Ones and the Six Imperial Guards, right? I'm a disciple of the Three Pure Ones!"

He claims to be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones and the biological son of Taoism.

This time, it seems like my status has dropped a lot.

"Don't speak nonsense!"

Peng Xuan's face darkened and he scolded,
"Why, as a disciple of Dou Mu Yuanjun, do you think you are wronged?"

"You are a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. Do you know the Three Pure Ones? Do the Three Pure Ones know you? Would the Three Pure Ones care about a kid like you who came out of nowhere?"

"Three Pure Ones, Three Pure Ones, you always claim to be a disciple of the Three Heavens, and look down on this and that, as if you have inherited the Dharma lineage of Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun! In fact, you have no ability at all, but you just think that your status is superior to others!"

"You are so arrogant, you are nothing!"

When Zhu Ju heard his angry roar, he immediately became quiet and timid, not daring to say anything more, for fear of angering the bald Taoist priest again.

Ma Xiuying tugged at Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve.

"Master Peng is really good. When he gets angry, Little Orange becomes obedient. Even when we get angry, we don't have this much power..."

she whispered.

Zhu Yuanzhang twisted his beard and hummed:

"That's what they call a conqueror! It seems like Peng Xuan can really control him."

"We need to teach this brat a lesson and change his temperament!"

Ma Xiuying nodded in agreement.

"Also, who told you that Dou Mu Yuan Jun is not as good as the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Lords?"

Peng Xuan said unhappily,
"Dou Mu Yuanjun is the mother of all the stars in the Big Dipper. She controls the stars in the sky and is supported by all the saints and true ones. She has an extraordinary status!"

"And the life and death of a person is closely related to the Northern Dipper. The Southern Dipper governs life, and the Northern Dipper governs death. In other words, Dou Mu Yuanjun holds the ultimate power over life and death!"

"Finally, let me tell you that among the six emperors, Emperor Gou Chen and Emperor Zi Wei are the sons of Dou Mu Yuanjun! Do you still think Dou Mu is not powerful?"

Zhu Ju was shocked.

He only knew before that Dou Mu was the immediate superior of the sixty Tai Sui star gods, and that he had to pay homage to Dou Mu when he was trying to transform Tai Sui, and that was all.

I didn’t expect that she is so awesome!
Life and death are all up to her? !
That is to say, as long as you hold on to this great god and become her disciple, you can at least prolong your life. If you practice well, maybe you can even achieve immortality? !

Thinking of this, Zhu Ju's heart began beating faster.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master! It turns out that Dou Mu Yuanjun has such a high status. It is very prestigious for me to be his disciple!"

Zhu Ju held the statue in his hands and said happily,

"I'll put the statue up there right away!"

Peng Xuan snorted lightly, and his expression eased a little.

"Practicing Taoism is not for your reputation. It is a career that only a real man can do!"

He pointed out, "The statue of the deity should be placed on the highest level of the altar. When setting up an altar, the levels should be clear and not messy."

"The Zhenwu statue you just saw is quite good. I can consecrate it for you and place it to the lower left of the Dou Mu statue for worship."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly and carefully placed the Dou Mu statue on the top floor.

"The incense burner is placed on the second level, with a lamp on each side."

Peng Xuan continued,
"When you need to practice Dharma on weekdays, you can light one or three incense sticks, or even no incense at all. You know the incense mantra, right? Taoism is learned from the heart, and the heart is passed on through incense. When there are no conditions, a stick of incense from the heart can penetrate the heaven and earth. Why do you need to make a fuss like you do? Too much is as bad as too little, you know?"

Zhu Ju stuck out his tongue.

"On the third floor, you need to place a magical instrument to suppress the altar. When the monks are practicing at the altar, sometimes there will be evil spirits waiting to see them. You need a magical instrument to deter them so that they dare not cause trouble. This is something that only those who have inherited the Dharma lineage can have."

Peng Xuan took out a small gourd from his bag and said,
"This is the gourd I carry with me. I have used it for sacrifice and I will give it to you to calm the altar and ward off evil spirits."

"There are many wronged souls in the inner court of the palace, so you'd better be careful, otherwise you might be haunted every day in the future."

Zhu Ju's face turned green. He took the gourd with trembling hands and placed it carefully on the altar.

This thing can't be damaged by bumps!
"On the fourth floor, place the tributes."

Peng Xuan continued,
"For ordinary families, offerings are sufficient on the first and fifteenth day of each month. As a prince, you have a good life, so it would be best for you to offer five fresh fruits every day."

"Generally, any fruit can be used, but there are some taboos. For example, plums cannot be offered to Taishang, and pomegranates cannot be offered to Xuantian. You should not offer these two. Others are fine, such as apples, sweet oranges, bananas, etc."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly and took note of it carefully.

The more I listened, the more I felt that this bald old Taoist, oh no, Master! The more I felt that Master had a method.

An expert can tell the quality of a product with just one look! This is so true!

"On the fifth level, we need to place the Big Dipper Nine Stars Lamp for our inner practice, which is the Big Dipper Seven Stars plus the Zuo Fu and You Bi Stars."

Peng Xuan said in a deep voice,
"Go back and prepare these nine small lamps. I will tell you their specific functions when the time comes."

"On the sixth floor, put a bowl of water. But this bowl of water also needs to be refined before it can be used... Hey, I'll get it for you when the time comes."

"In this way, after the six levels are arranged, a basic and proper altar is considered to be set up."

He emphasized the word "serious", which made Zhu Ju feel a little embarrassed.

"It turns out there are so many tricks... and there are also rules and taboos."

Zhu Ju scratched his head and smacked his lips.

"Looking at it this way, I really didn't know anything before, and I was just messing around!"

Peng Xuan rolled his eyes.

"Why not?"

He stroked his beard and said,

"But you do surprise me. You don't look like someone who has just regained consciousness."

"Logically speaking, your senior brothers wouldn't tell you those nonsense."

"From the tone and style of your voice, you sound a lot like those weird people I met when I was traveling around the world. They live in their own fantasies and cannot extricate themselves. There is no cure."

Zhu Ju was shocked and could only smile awkwardly without responding.

You can't say that the original Zhu Ju has already been sent, and that you are a veteran who traveled through time and space!

Subconsciously, he was a little afraid that this mysterious master would see through his true colors...
