The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 62: Set up tablets for my parents and elder brother!

Zhu Ju's expression changed.

“First, you need to understand the purpose of chanting.”

Peng Xuan said,
"Since the Heavenly Venerable has come to the world to preach the scriptures, he naturally hopes that mortals can understand the wisdom contained in the scriptures. Therefore, increasing wisdom and improving insights is one aspect."

"But more importantly, for those who have inherited the tradition, the purpose of chanting is to communicate with the gods."

"Reciting scriptures is a medium, a bridge between you and the gods. The more you recite, the closer you will be to the gods. Then naturally, the power of the gods will generously descend upon you and nourish your spirit."

"Over time, your power comes from Dou Zhen. So if you want to practice Dou Fa, how can it not be effective? Those who want to practice Dou Fa need to recite 5,040 volumes of the Beidou Sutra. Those who want to practice Lei Fa need to recite 5,040 volumes of the Yushu Baojing. If you can do this, you will be able to pray for the gods and receive the gods, and your actions will be effective!"

When Zhu Ju heard this, his eyes lit up.

"So, I don't have to do anything else. I just need to recite the Beidou Sutra every day and the gods will give me energy?"

He even said,
"This is good! This is simple and rough, I like it!"

Peng Xuan smiled slightly.

"Energy? That word... is OK, but I prefer to call it power."

He pointed out,

"You are right, but the prerequisite is that there must be a legitimate Dharma inheritance."

"If you are not a disciple of the inheritance, the Grandmaster will naturally not give you blessings. Even if you sincerely praise him every day, you may only get a little bit of power."

"This is actually easy to understand. We are not familiar with each other, so why should I help you establish communication? If you were my disciple, I would definitely treat you like my own child and support you with all my strength, and guide the Dou Zhen Qi to descend upon you."

"The letter you just read also said 'I wish that after I enter the Dao, the ancestors and gods will strongly support me'. This is not just empty words, but a contract. The ancestors of all generations will naturally help you after receiving your letter. The gods will not cheat."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up.

"The Grandmaster is so merciful!"

He couldn't help but praise.
"This way, I only need to recite sutras and kowtow every day. Hahaha! It's so easy!"

Peng Xuan frowned.

"How can it be that easy? It requires a lot of dynamic exercises!"

He shouted,
"Didn't your senior brother teach you a standing posture? That standing posture was taught by me personally. It is very good for beginners. You have to stand there every morning and evening, for at least two incense sticks of time each time!"

"Also, I will teach you breathing exercises, energy gathering exercises, and sleeping exercises. You must spend time practicing them, and you must not slack off every day. You must practice every day, and only then will your kung fu improve."

Zhu Ju didn't take these words seriously.

"That's not much. It's good to exercise every day. I don't have much to do anyway."

He said confidently,
"Just take a look!"

Peng Xuan sighed lightly and shook his head.

"Do you think it's really easy?"

“In fact, the truth is simplicity. The real truth is the result of solid and painstaking efforts.”

"The immortals and Taoists are not gods, they accumulate energy and think it is real. What they have to do every day is nothing more than accumulating energy and spirit."

"You may still find it fresh for a day or two, but what about a year or two? Five or ten years? When you are familiar with the scriptures and have kowtowed thousands or tens of thousands of times, you will definitely feel that this is the most boring and tedious thing in the world, even if it once had some magical powers and brought you inspiration."

"When that time comes, you might find all kinds of excuses to be lazy, and eventually, your faith in Taoism might fade away."

"Persistence requires infinite perseverance, but it only takes a moment to fall. On the road to immortality, I have seen too many people give up halfway..."

At the end of his speech, he let out a long sigh, with a look of vicissitudes and emotion in his eyes.

After a moment, he turned around.

"Actually, I don't expect you to succeed. I've told you so much today, but you might forget about it in a few days."

Peng Xuan looked at Zhu Ju and smiled faintly, "But since you want to learn, I am willing to teach you. This is not because of your status as a prince."

"Spread the Dharma of the Heavenly Venerable and save the world with compassion. Even if a person is extremely evil, I will not despise him if he changes his mind for the good."

"I hope you can live up to your expectations!"

Zhu Ju pursed his lips.

"I will."

He clenched his fists lightly and whispered.

Perhaps he doesn't care about anything in this world.

But immortality is his lifelong pursuit and his greatest obsession!

The true Dharma is hard to hear, but now that I have heard it, how can I enter a mountain of treasures and return empty-handed?

"I have another set of spells to pass on to you."

Peng Xuan said seriously,
"Only with this set of things can I quickly communicate with the gods as a disciple of our sect, and be more efficient when practicing."

"Especially the hand gestures and secret mantras. These are secret teachings and must not be leaked! The teachings are not to be passed on to others, so just listen carefully."

Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly and put his ear closer obediently.

Peng Xuan changed his hand gestures and pinched his fingers while teaching the secret mantra.

Zhu Ju watched and listened attentively, and quickly mastered the set of spells.

"I have already placed the talisman on your altar. Just use something to suppress it so it does not fall."

Peng Xuan pointed at Tan Jing and said,

"There is also Gangbu, which is called stepping on Gang, but it is actually Yubu."

"Yu Bu, according to legend, Dayu saw a forbidden bird spell on the shore of the South China Sea that could make a large rock turn over. He was quite surprised and after observing it for a long time, he created this set of Yu Bu, imitating the steps of the strange bird. It can be regarded as a way to enhance the aura and strength!"

"Yu Bu also has a set of spells to match, but they are all very simple. I will show you once and you will be able to do it."

Peng Xuan walked slowly in front of the altar, and Zhu Ju followed behind him and learned to walk.

After going through it twice, Zhu Ju was confident.

"I know it, it's so easy!"

Peng Xuan nodded slightly.

Yu Bu is extremely simple, even a dumb person will be able to master it after learning it a few times.

Judging from his interactions with Zhu Ju, although this kid is a little out of sync after he regains consciousness, he is still smart and has a high level of understanding.

"By the way, our Beidou sect has a special feature, which is to set up star tablets for family members."

Peng Xuan pointed at Tan Jing and said,
"You can place star tablets on the left and right sides of the altar and write some information about your parents or other relatives and friends. Every day when you worship, the gods will send down fighting spirit on your altar, which will naturally bless them. Generally speaking, the effect is to prolong their life and eliminate disasters."

"Of course, don't think too much and think that everything will be fine as long as you have this brand. This can only be regarded as a small benefit."

"Do you need it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ju nodded repeatedly.

"Of course I need one! I want one for my mother and my father!"

He said decisively,

"Oh yeah, and my eldest brother, he's also very good to me, let's make one for him too!"

"Master, let me stand up!"
