At the opening ceremony, the mana was displayed on the spot to execute a few wavering incense masters and incense sticks to set an example.

In this way, the local incense halls can be stabilized. Then slowly clean up those rebellious incense halls.

"As for the Taoist priest, I will also send him an invitation card and invite him to come and watch the ceremony." Xuande said.

Luo Saichun was very worried: "This person has a lot of mana - what if we break our spell for him?" ”

"Hmph, I don't believe he really has such a high mana." Xuande xiōng smiled with a smile, "He came, we have more than ten good players from the general altar, the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands; If he didn't come, he would be cowardly, and he would lose more than half of his momentum first, and the incense people who followed him would also have to be shaken. ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt reasonable. It's just that most people are still worried that the other party's mana is too high, and in case of conflict, they are afraid that their own casualties will be too heavy, but no one dares to say this to their faces, and no one wants to be put on a "cowardly" hat by this Dharma master.

"No matter how much he does it, he is just one person, and he really wants to conflict, and everyone will fight to defend the Dao and eliminate the demons together, and destroy the Dao in one fell swoop." Xuan said slowly, "What do you think?" ”

Xuan has a high position in the sect, and no one here can compare with him. Although his words were inquiry, there was no room for opposition from below. Therefore, the cadres only said in unison: "May Zhanfa drive the horse!" ”

"Don't worry," Xuan De stood up and said in a deep voice, "That outer way is really strong mana, you can't help him, this seat also has a way to deal with the big deal This seat consumes ten years of power, and use the positive thunder method to kill him in one fell swoop!" ”

Everyone was shocked: the "Zhenglei Method" that was announced was said to be the true transmission of the previous sect leader, and it was extremely powerful, and once it was launched, it often killed and injured a large number of people, and it was rarely used because of the heavy damage. Now that they heard that there was this spell as a backing, the originally somewhat uneasy mood of the people suddenly calmed down. A few clever people hurriedly said a carload of greeting words. Xuan Du just laughed it off.

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Ma Weisan hurriedly ordered someone to prepare wine. The group pushed the glass and changed the glass, and enjoyed the wine. During the meeting, they also discussed some steps and means to develop educational affairs and rectify the aftermath of the collapse of the local incense hall. Several envoys of the general altar proposed to transfer some "loyal and reliable" people from other places to take over the hall master and the incense hall of the incense hall, of course, the list has been prepared for a long time.

Of course, Xuan De said vigorously: "Okay." "This group of people just wants a good position for their sons, nephews, friends, and apprentices. Now that he is doing his best, of course he doesn't want to spoil the fun, and he doesn't dare to say anything more if he forgives Ma Weisan.

Ma Weisan was full of smiles, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Half of the Yizhou branch altar was brought down by himself, so why should outsiders step in? But he didn't dare to say a word, and he didn't dare to say anything in his face, and it was still unknown whether he could continue to be the master of the altar. Everything is in the hands of this sanctimonious and dark-hearted old man, in order to save his life and position, Ma Weisan was not only asked for more than 15,000 taels of silver, but also had to promise to give him a mansion in Yizhou City, and raise two handmaidens who were given to him in it, of course, all expenses have to be repaid by him. In order to keep his position as the master of the altar, he also promised to arrange for his four disciples to "serve" in the Yizhou branch altar, and arrange for them to become "Sixiang" within three or five years.

In short, the Yizhou branch in the future will be a big piece of fat that can be claimed at will.

Every time he thought of this, Ma Weisan felt extremely distressed, and even felt that it was a way out for him to simply vote for that Taoist priest in the first place. No matter what the origin of that Taoist priest is, if a powerful person like him defects, the other party will always treat him with courtesy.

But this thought, even if it was only a fleeting thought, always made him break out in a cold sweat.

As soon as the major event was decided, the matter of holding the opening ceremony of the incense hall was in full swing. Ma Weisan is especially hard because he is guilty. Not only did he instruct his subordinates to take care of the people who came to the main altar, but he personally organized the ceremony of preparing for the opening of the incense hall, and for a while, the sect that had been in Yizhou began to be active again.

Emissaries on horseback, walking, and in sedan chairs traveled throughout Yizhou, spreading posts about the opening of the incense hall everywhere. When Zhang Yingchen was sorting out the teaching affairs in Yunshengguan, he attached great importance to the activities of the sect in the local area. He knew that the personnel of the new Xiangtang were complicated, and their belief in the new Taoism was not strong, so they could not be trusted, so the work of monitoring the Yizhou branch was handed over to Ye Mengyan's detachment.

The most available is the people of the original incense hall in the large store. Most of these disciples have seen him "practice magic and cast spells", and their attitude is relatively firm. From this group of people, Zhang Yingchen organized the first batch of local "study groups".

The reason why it is called a "study group" instead of a fragrant hall or something is mainly to show that it is cut off from the old system, and that this so-called study group in the Taoist world has changed the soup but not the medicine, which is the original sect in the Xiangtang in the big store. The same is true of "study groups" elsewhere in Yizhou.

According to Zhang Yingchen's original vision, the new Taoism could not adopt the system of traditional monotheism, nor could it follow the organizational model of the sect: that is, there was a clear initiation ceremony for believers, a strict organization, a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates, and so on. These elements, which were considered a threat by the Senate, could not exist. But he now found that this line of thinking was unimpeded in the Li and Han districts of Hainan Island: there was a strong protection of the Senate regime, and the other religions, the weakest and most powerful, Lingao Monastery and Neo-Taoism, did not form a hostile relationship. He can slowly penetrate the faith in a gentle way.

In order to show that the concept of the new Taoism is to "change customs and customs" and "advocate science", it is not only necessary to draw a clear line with the folk Taoism, but also to distinguish it from the traditional Taoism, so his organizational system is a new one.

The system implemented by Zhang Yingchen was based on Taoist temples as the core of the region, and where there were no Taoist temples, they were replaced by institutions such as medical houses. He does not engage in secret and semi-secret institutions such as incense halls and altars that are common in traditional folk associations, but is an upright and bright institution under the traditional system.

All new Taoist Taoist temples, even if they are located in the Ming Dynasty, must try to obtain the official permission of the local Taoist Division and put on the cloak of legality. If it is difficult to get approval for a new construction for a while, then try to gain some leadership and control of the old Taoist temples and then renovate them. There are many officially named palaces in various state capitals and counties, or they are in disrepair, or the incense is not prosperous, and they are in ruin, and it is not difficult to gain control.

According to Zhang Yingchen's design, Neo-Taoism implements the "one county, one view" system, that is, each county. It also includes prefectures at the same level as the county, where a Taoist temple is set up as the center of faith for the new Taoism. Believers act as individuals around this center of faith. However, there is no such thing as incense hall and incense head under this faith center, let alone a grassroots organization, and there is no clear initiation ceremony such as baptism and point transmission.

But a series of events after arriving in Yizhou made Zhang Yingchen's original idea shaken. In a situation where the opponent has a large number of grassroots organizations and can use violence without scruples when necessary, it is not necessary for the opponent to create more effective grassroots organizations, let alone expand their influence, and even to survive in the local area. Zhang Yingchen thought that if he hadn't been possessed by the aura of the protagonist since he arrived in Yizhou, he would have reported to the thirty-third day ago.

To this end, he wrote a memorandum to the religious office, and at the same time wrote a letter to Dai Jie, asking him to immediately bring the memorandum to He Ying to report on the organization of the Neo-Taoist mission outside the Green Zone and to obtain his understanding.

"・・・・・・At this stage, if we don't set up grassroots organizations, we will indeed be squeezed out by our opponents in Yizhou, which will cause serious setbacks to our next activities in Yizhou and even the entire Lunan region・・・・・・"

Now, no matter how the Religious Affairs Office replied, Zhang Yingchen decided to set up the team first, and the current situation is unclear, and his lack of organization is equivalent to going into battle.

For this reason, he decided to take over the Xiangtang that had originally taken refuge, and at this stage, he would not do any screening and cleaning, nor would he adjust the organization, and he would consolidate the site first. In this way, a "study group" was established in the Daikanso. Relying on this unreliable system, he at least had a grassroots organization that he could command, so that he would not have to do everything himself, and the economy was much more relaxed.

These days, while he is vigilant against the counterattack of his opponents, he has focused his main energy on disaster relief and arrangements for the victims to be delivered.

Every day is very busy. According to the course of history, the natural disasters in Yizhou and surrounding areas next year will be even more fierce in the future. The local civil disaster relief system, which has already suffered a heavy blow this year, will be overwhelmed, and then it will be time for him Zhang Yingchen to show his magic skills to catch people.

When they were busy, Ye Mengyan's monitoring team reported the latest movements in Majiazhai, where the Yizhou branch altar was located, and a group of people suddenly arrived, and then the disciples in each "study group" who were responsible for monitoring the market also sent relevant information: Among the people who came, there were some high-ranking personnel such as the Dharma protectors of the inner and outer Dharma halls of the Jinan General Altar.

As the news of the arrival of the Jinan General Altar spread, Zhang Yingchen felt that there was obvious panic in the various "study groups", especially among the current "group leaders", the small cadre-level disciples of the incense master and Si Xiang in the past. Obviously, they are still afraid of the "spells" of the people who come from the main altar. Some of the disciples even secretly told him that some team leaders had sent people to quietly go to Majia's village. And some Xiangtang, who had not yet defected, but had a warm attitude towards him and were eager to pull the relationship, suddenly became cold.
