Basically everyone thought that B and C had offended the Empress and were extremely disrespectful to her.

But I have no experience on how to solve this problem. I just want to offer sacrifices first, and then see if the pain can be alleviated or solved.

When Zhang Hu went over, his friends were watching at the temple gate.

When I called Zhang Lan, the three people ABC were kneeling in front of the statue of the goddess, and their family members brought incense and offerings. During this time, judging from the burning of the incense, it seemed that the goddess had not forgiven these three people.

Then the wind on the mountain was a bit strong today. After offering tribute, we asked the Empress whether the three of us had been forgiven. The situation had not been ideal.

After seeing that it had been several hours, some people felt that this was not the case and wanted to send the patient to the hospital if it didn't work.

But these were said by the onlookers, and no one dared to mention this matter in the temple. What if the goddess really got angry, and the hospital couldn't cure it?

Zhang Hu called to ask Zhang Lan if there was any other solution to this problem. He also knew the kneeling A, and they usually got along well.

Moreover, A was implicated in this matter, but the main people involved were B and C. C could be said to be a man of few words, but B, in particular, would not have behaved like that unless his brain was extremely weak.

Zhang Lan thought about it and told Zhang Hu to ask someone if there was anything in the temple for fortune-telling. If not, he could make one out of wood. It was in the shape of a crescent moon, with two pieces, one flat and the other curved, similar to a cow's horn. That was the idea.

Zhang Hu asked the person next to him while holding the phone, and it turned out that there really was such a thing.

According to Zhang Hu's friend, their temple was just a place for drawing lots. But this is the origin of a big family, and every year people from the south come to worship their ancestors and pass by their village.

Later, a divination tool called the holy grail, which was popular in the south, was made to facilitate divination for southerners passing by.

Throwing Jiao, also known as the Holy Grail, is a Taoist divination ritual. The tool used is the Jiao cup, also known as the Holy Grail, the Holy Jiao, the Crossing Cup, or the Yin-Yang Gua. Legend has it that it was made by the Supreme Lord Laozi and is one of the tools used by Taoism to ask for instructions from the gods and communicate with them.

The person who throws the cup to ask for divination reports to the gods and has the matter he is asking reflected through the result of the hexagram. The result is then drawn based on the analysis of the hexagram, showing good or bad luck, disaster or fortune.

Throwing茭 is also known as throwing珓, commonly known as throwing cups to ask fortunes or throwing cups to tell fortunes. The materials used to make茭 cups can be divided into sophisticated, unsophisticated, high-grade and low-grade.

Common materials used include gold, silver, copper, bamboo, wood, shells, etc.

The Holy Grail consists of two pieces in a pair, and there are three main appearance shapes: one is that the shape of the two pieces when put together resembles the horns of an ox or sheep, each piece has a flat surface that belongs to the yang, and the other side is a semicircular convex surface that belongs to the yin, and there are eight and nine semicircular grooves engraved on the two sides respectively, symbolizing the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

The other is called the Moonlight Cup or Moonlight Gua. When the two pieces are opened, they are oval in shape, and when closed, they resemble a crescent moon, hence the name.

The last type is more complex, mostly irregularly round, made of thin copper sheets, bamboo pieces or shells. Although these holy grails have different appearances and shapes, the methods of use and the results of determining information are the same, all based on yin and yang, the flat surface is yang, the convex surface is yin, one yin and one yang can see through the secrets of heaven and avoid disasters and gain blessings.

The Taoist practices of throwing茭, throwing cups, and throwing cup茭 all mean the same thing, which is to use the holy grail to ask questions, divine, and tell fortunes, seek instructions from gods and Buddhas, detect the intentions of gods, and predict all kinds of situations, good or bad.

As long as there are twenty-eight answers corresponding to the various hexagrams of the Holy Grail, that is, the twenty-eight lots, this method of predicting and asking questions can be used in front of either Buddha statues or god statues.

Therefore, some people with evil intentions often exaggerate the publicity of things like the Twenty-Eight Lots of Guanyin, the Twenty-Eight Lots of Buddhism, etc. They are just telling lies with their eyes open and using all kinds of reasons to attract customers to satisfy their own selfish interests. Be careful not to be deceived. Just remember that this is a Taoist divination ceremony. Those who call it a Buddhist ceremony are either ignorant or liars. It is better for you to check it yourself on the Internet than to be charged by them.

The Taoist method of asking for divination by throwing茭 is widely used in various temples, Taoist temples and among the people.

The indispensable instrument in Taoist rituals is called the Cup Bamboo Gua. In Taoist activities such as salvation, disaster prevention and festivals, it is often necessary to ask questions by divining, which is crucial to the degree of fulfillment of the ritual.

For example, when summoning a general, presenting a memorial, and completing a mission, one must ask for hexagrams several times, and the hexagrams displayed must follow a prescribed order. Some require yang hexagrams, some require yin hexagrams, and some require holy hexagrams. Therefore, in Taoist rituals, not all things require holy hexagrams.

The most orthodox Taoist method of hexagram making must firstly select a golden bamboo with a head and a tail.

Then choose the roots that look good. Good looking means that the roots must be horn-shaped, gradually decreasing to the root tip, with eight or nine bamboo nodes to the root tip. Choose an auspicious day with tools to dig. The most auspicious time is the Qinglong month, Qinglong day, and Qinglong hour.

Secondly, when digging, you must leave one root unbroken, burn incense and wait, and when someone passes by, cut off the last root. It is best to ask this person to give you a few words of congratulations.

Finally, the bamboo roots are taken back for hand-processing and divided into two halves to represent yin and yang and the eight trigrams and nine palaces. One half of the processed trigrams has nine bamboo nodes inside, which is yang and thicker, and the other half has eight nodes inside, which is yin and thinner.

After processing, choose an auspicious day to consecrate and practice the bamboo hexagram. It is best to use it after a grand ritual has been performed on it, as it will be most accurate.

If the cup is passed down from generation to generation, a cup that is hundreds of years old will become a Taoist treasure.

Taoist divination mostly comes from folk, and is widely used. Most of the sects have divination methods, and folk Duan Gong, geomancer, etc. all have divination methods.

You can find out what you want to know through three different hexagrams. Divination is when the person seeking hexagrams reports to the gods, and the result of the person's request is reflected through the hexagrams. The person can directly get the result based on the hexagrams or analyze the hexagrams before getting the result.

There are many ways to tell fortunes among the people. They vary according to tradition, but the ultimate goal is to find out the cause of the matter. The arrival of the gods is often determined by the holy hexagrams; the agreement of the gods is often determined by the yin and yang hexagrams.

The judgment of bad information and evil spirits is mostly made by Yin Gua. Both Hexagram of Contract and Double Contract have certain significance. Gua is very important in recruiting disciples, passing on the Dharma and teaching. The character of the disciples can be accurately judged by Gua. In the process of passing on the Dharma, the Yang and Yin transmissions, the inheritance of the master and the Yin transmission of the predecessors of the past generations, are determined by Gua.

When asking the gods for a decision on something or a reason, one must first burn incense and pray, and state the reason. Then hold the tip of a holy hexagram in the right hand, and throw it upwards slightly. The hexagram will naturally fall to the ground, and one of the holy hexagrams will appear. In general, temples and Taoist temples ask for a hexagram to determine good or bad luck. A holy hexagram is good, and other hexagrams are bad. Some people throw three times to get a combined hexagram. Then, according to the combined hexagram, find the hexagram content of the hexagram and judge the good or bad fortune of things.
