Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 25 The sense of ritual is very important
"it is good."

Zhang Jiao nodded, and at this moment the servant looked at Zhang Jiao not to be outdone and said: "I lost, and I kneel down to apologize. What if you lose?"

Zhang Jiao heard this and said, "Same as you."

The servant heard this and said: "I want to add one more thing. Take off the banner on your door and burn it. Our master said that people who pretend to be gods and ghosts are not allowed in Xiagouhe Village."

"it is good."

Zhang Jue looked at the servant and shouted, if he doesn't show his strength and show his authority today, then he won't have to preach in this village in the future.

When the servant saw that Zhang Jiao had agreed, he immediately smiled and said: "Okay, everyone has heard it. Zhang Jiao personally agreed today, and everyone is a witness. If it doesn't rain today, from now on, he will Don’t be pretentious in this village!”

The servant said, and the people nodded in unison: We are all watching!
Zhang Bao walked up to Zhang Jiao and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this matter was instigated by Qian Laocai and the others, specifically to ruin our reputation."

Zhang Jiao sneered and said: "How can I not know their little thoughts? Ever since I failed to return to my hometown, Qian Laocai and the others have always regarded me as a thorn in their side. When my father was here, our village was the one that my father said After all, they managed to survive their father to death, they can have the final say in the village, how can they just watch us oppress them again."

"What do you mean, brother?"

Hearing this, Zhang Bao looked at Zhang Jiao, who smiled and said: "If there were no immortals, I might still have to use some tricks, but now that the immortals are behind us, who do we still have to fear?
"In the eyes of the Immortal Lord, these guys are just local chickens and wagyu."

As Zhang Jiao spoke, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and he whispered to Zhang Bao: "Second brother, today is our first time to preach, and we encountered a traitor who interfered with it. This is a wake-up call for us. We will definitely not do it when we go out to preach in the future." Everything is smooth sailing, don’t think preaching is easy just because there are immortals behind you.”

"Yes, I have written it down."

At this time, Zhang Liang also came over and said: "Brother, this guy named Qian doesn't know what's good or bad. When our father was still alive, he treated our father like a brother Zhang and treated us like a good nephew. But now that our father is dead, , they stopped smiling at us, didn’t even greet us when we met, and now they’re here to cause trouble again, they really don’t deserve to be our sons!”

"Don't let me wait for the opportunity, otherwise I will deal with this person!"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said fiercely. Seeing Zhang Liang being so impulsive, Zhang Jiao said: "Third brother, don't be reckless. This matter is related to the great mission of the Immortal Lord. We should devote our lives to it. Even if we suffer a little grievance, it doesn't matter. Ten million Don't be impulsive and ruin the important mission of the Immortal Lord!"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the important mission of the Immortal Lord, I would have slapped this Qian family's loser. He should be killed for ruining our family's good deeds!"

Zhang Jiao heard this and said: "Don't be impulsive. Since we want to preach, we cannot establish our perverse character. We must convince people with virtue, not with force."

After that, Zhang Jiao said: "Okay, don't just worry about them. Let's get down to business. Are the yellow talismans and wooden swords that I asked you to prepare ready?"

After hearing this, Zhang Liang said: "Everything is ready. By the way, brother, what do you want these things for?"

Zhang Jiao heard this and said: "How to do it!"

"practice?"

Zhang Liang was puzzled, and Zhang Jiao said: "This is what I asked the Immortal Master yesterday, and the Immortal Master taught me. The Immortal Master said that I am the leader of Taiping Taoism, a great virtuous teacher, and I must show myself to be superior to others, so from now on I will only If you ask the Immortal Lord to cast a spell, you have to dress up, write runes in cinnabar, and burn them for a few days before you can cast the spell and convince your followers." Zhang Jiao said, this is indeed what Li Yu taught him yesterday. Li Yu checked the information, and one of the items said that the most important thing about a sect is not its background story or organizational structure, but its mystery!
A sect without mystery is unattractive, and there are many ways to achieve mystery, including spells and, of course, packaging.

For example, Buddhism has cassocks and Zen staffs, while Taoism has magic swords and treasure seals. In addition, there are mysterious exercises of each sect. In short, the more complicated the better, and the more complicated the better.

Do you know why ancient people paid so much attention to etiquette in ancient times?Because etiquette can truly distinguish people.

If there is no courtesy, how can the emperor establish his majesty? If the emperor has no majesty, how can he serve the world?
Etiquette is rules, and the biggest function of rules is to distinguish classes. How can civilians be the same as nobles?

After reading this comment, Li Yu thought a lot and read Zhang Jiao's Baidu Encyclopedia many times. He found that after Zhang Jiao became successful in his later career, he also wore a yellow robe and often held a staff symbolizing a great sage and mentor while casting spells. He often uses talismans and seals, and likes to set up ritual tables!
It seems that these things are definitely necessary. Li Yu always remembers one thing, that is, the thinking of the Han Dynasty people is definitely very different from the thinking of modern people.

Therefore, there are some things that I cannot figure out from a modern perspective!

Because in order to prevent Zhang Jiao from losing at the starting line, Li Yu had already begun to make these plans for Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao looked at the villagers at this time and said: "Folks, I know what everyone is thinking. Do you think that I, Zhang Jiao, am a liar, pretending to be a trick to deceive everyone? But you have all misunderstood Jiao. If I deceive everyone, I was at my house yesterday." How do the folks who ate Kun Dan explain themselves? Are they saying that the Kun Dan they ate was fake?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent. After a long time, one person stood up and said: "Mr. Zhang, we are all willing to believe you, but as Qian Wu (housekeeper) said, sir, can you really ask for immortal rain to save you?" Yangmiao, if you can’t let me wait, how can I believe it?”

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao said: "Do you also have this idea?"

After hearing this, the villagers nodded in unison. Zhang Jiao heard the words and said: "Okay, in that case, I will pray for rain for you."

Having said this, Zhang Jiao turned to look at Zhang Liang, who had already moved out with a table.

At the same time, Zhang Bao took out yellow paper and cinnabar, and Zhang Jiao communicated with Li Yu: "Immortal Lord, can you ask for rain?"

Li Yu heard this and said, "But, let's go first to Li Dagou's field."

Li Yu has a list of followers in his hand, so Li Yu will give rain to the followers according to the list. As for those who are not followers, he has no time to give them rain!

After hearing what Li Yu said, Zhang Jiao immediately said, "Where is Li Dagou?"

"exist."

Li Dagou stood up at this time, Zhang Jiao said: "The Immortal Lord just spoke to me and told me to give rain to your fields first. Where is your field? Lead me there!"

"Give rain to my house first!"

Li Dagou was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, please come with me!"
