Chapter 46: Strengthening the Lingbao Sect
The man with glasses accompanied the chubby girl to find Jiang Ming. The girl said, "You know how to do magic?" Jiang Ming turned his face away and didn't look at her. The fat man came up to him with a stiff face and said, "This is not magic, it's Taoism." You are all Taoist majors, and the teacher didn't tell you about it? The girl bowed her head and said, "If we say it, we will listen to it as a story, and we have not seen the truth." ”
Jiang Ming turned around and said, "Sign up early!" If you want to learn Taoism, you have to be sincere, you go back and tell your classmates that now the ticket to the Pavilion Soap Sect will be reimbursed, and in the future, it will be my Ge Ming's junior brother and sister. ”
The girl was overjoyed and said, "I'm the class leader!" He's the deputy squad leader! Senior brother, rest assured, we will do a good job in the ideological work of the students. ”
Jiang Ming nodded, took out the Kunpeng talisman, one of him, one of me and the fat man, a few words of incantation were recited, and the bird talisman emitted a green light, turning into two big birds and flying up. The young men and women who filled out the form turned their heads and watched us fly away, all their worries dispelled.
We flew to the gate and landed at the security booth. The security guard guarding the gate also looked at us with his mouth wide open, gave us a thumbs up and said, "Your magic is really good." Seeing that the leader of the management office was also here, Jiang Ming settled the remainder.
In the distance at the door, the owner of the marble factory squatted and hurried over a few steps, Jiang Ming handed him 10,000 yuan and asked him to drive the flatbed truck away.
After waiting for a while, the bus with the students and the flatbed truck came out, and they all leaned on the window and waved to us. I was going to come to the outing party today, but I was able to get the recruitment registration form, and the harvest was even greater. So I don't even have the heart to play.
When they were ready to go back, they immediately packed up their things, and they didn't wait for the job fair of the big sect, and directly followed the squad leader to report to the Pavilion Soap Sect.
The fat man looked back at Jiang Ming, he spent 120,000, and that's it? Jiang Ming said, go! Let's go back to the Pavilion Soap Sect! The fat man said that it was your Pavilion Soap Sect, but I was from the Immortal Lake View, and you paid all the expenses for going to the Pavilion Soap Sect this time.
Jiang Ming looked at me, and I said that friendship performances, you can't pay for them yourself, right? Now you're the boss, we listen to you, and you have to take care of us. I patted him on the shoulder.
Jiang Ming took one of our hands and grinned and said We are all brothers, follow me back to the Pavilion Soap Sect and place them. If you get the money in the future, you will divide it into five, I will be five, you will be five, how about it?
The fat man shook Jiang Ming's hand away, pulled me aside, and said Daheng, my Immortal Lake View is also going to develop, and the remaining five, let's divide it again? I said you helped me so much, fat man, you look at it. The fat man is overjoyed and says the deal!
We took the fat man's Jinbei van and rushed all the way to the Pavilion Soap Sect. Jiang Ming called Xiaohua in the car and said that everything was going well, and now we will go back to the Pavilion Soap Sect to arrange it. Let Xiaohua study hard and come over when the holidays are over. When he arrived at Chongzhen Palace, the fat man sent the driver back.
Jiang Ming's master Ge Tong also returned to Chongzhen Palace, wearing a grand white robe, directing everyone to move and lift. Generally, the dress worn by the head is purple, but the head of Ge is different from the other heads, he is a Lingbao faction.
The Lingbao sect has also been inherited for more than 1,500 years, and the dressing is also self-contained. It is different from the Shangqing faction of Maoshan and the Zhengyi faction of Longhu Mountain, and the head of the house is a Taoist robe with a white embroidered gold thread pattern. The following middle-level managers, such as the jurisdiction, the palace, and the degree master, wear yellow robes. And the ordinary Taoist priest is the blue Taoist robe.
Now not only are the four uncles in the palace here, but also the four young people from the Yichun Investigation Bureau are also brought in to make cameos. The blue robe that the little young man wears, plus the little apprentice who Mingyue Mountain received, and the blue robe that the fat man and I also wear, look like there are thirteen people.
As soon as the head of Ge Tong saw us coming back, he greeted us warmly, and Jiang Ming gave him a Taoist salute and called the master. Ge Tong smiled, people are in good spirits at happy events, and said that the apprentice has worked hard, take your friends to take a rest.
The fat man and I also hugged our fists and called out to Daoist Ge, and Master Ge nodded with a smile, and we followed Jiang Ming into Chongzhen Palace. Jiang Ming's uncle is in charge of Wang Zizheng, in charge of the sacrifice of the entire Gesoap Mountain, and is the right-hand man of the head of Ge.
The governor is Zou Shiyi, and the deputy governor is Liu Weiyun, they are in charge of receiving and entertaining guests, as well as the payment of procurement and wages, and they are responsible for receiving all foreign tourists or peers.
There is only one master, called Chen, and the apprentice of Mingyue Mountain is what he carries. Now in addition to the head of Chongzhen Palace, he is the only one who is qualified to accept apprentices, and his cultivation is very close to the master, after all, it was brought out by a master.
This plus Jiang Ming is only seven people, and the talent is so withered that people want to cry.
Jiang Ming went in and met four uncles, all of whom were old, and they were still helping to move and lift, looking at the dress, it was no different from the temple wish, and the yellow Taoist robe was old and wrinkled. We said hello to his uncle.
He took us to fill the incense for the Sanqing Ancestors. After a bow, put the incense in place. Jiang Ming gave Uncle Shi 700,000 yuan from the hook guy's father and son, as well as the remaining 300,000 yuan from last year, this Uncle Zou had never seen so much money, so he accepted it with shaking hands.
Jiang Ming took the two of us to visit his Chongzhen Palace. This Chongzhen Palace is the first time we came, I heard that it has been expanded in recent years, and the rest of the side halls that originally collapsed have been restored a little, and the surrounding area has been renovated to increase tourist attractions.
However, compared with the big sects of Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, it still seems small and the pattern is not large.
Now Jiang Ming is having a headache about how to arrange those dozens of juniors. We found a place with a good view, crouched on the ground and looked down the mountain. The fat man shouted on the grass over there, it's comfortable to lie here, come here! We walked over and lay down on the grass on the slope.
Jiang Ming took out the cigarette, divided one by one, and after we lit the cigarette, we took a deep breath and then spit it out. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the summer sun is a little hot.
Jiang Ming stared at the parking lot at the bottom of the mountain, and said that the Pavilion Soap Sect is going to have someone now, I want to grow stronger, you have to help me.
I said how can I help? My ability with the fat man is also limited. Your master hasn't developed for so many years, and now you've got sixty people coming over, so you can figure out how to arrange for them?
Jiang Ming said that when they come, they will be trained first, and then let them pay for incense, the more the better. But you've got to help me, I'm hard to do alone.
He said that the master cares too much about face, so he can't recruit apprentices, how can he strengthen the Pavilion Soap Sect without apprentices? If there is no one, there is no incense money! How can you develop without incense money? So now his Pavilion Soap Sect is mainly based on development, and he will talk about it when it is developed.
On the second day, when the graduates of the Taoist class finally arrived, we walked to the parking lot to greet us, and then we were surrounded by Jiang Ming's younger brothers and sisters. Jiang Ming glanced at the bus in the parking lot, found the man with glasses, and said Isn't there sixty people? How are these few?
The man with glasses blushed and said Senior brother, Xiaoxia and I did our best. Jiang Ming said what's going on? Tell me about it. The man with glasses said that there were sixty people who signed up, but many students were appointed or escorted by other sects before they came to study.
It turned out that among the 60 students, many of them belonged to various sects and went to work directly after studying, or each sect sent the descendants of their relatives and friends to study, and then returned to various sects. So only thirty-six men came.
Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, there were few people and little pressure, and it was okay to say thirty-six people. He said how many girls are there? The man with the eyes said six for girls and thirty for boys. He nodded when he heard it.
Then he led everyone into the view and arranged a dormitory. After putting away the luggage, I took a tour of the sect. From the eyes of the classmates, it can be seen that they are disappointed in the Taoist temple, but Jiang Ming doesn't care, just someone can do it. He plans to spend three years giving the temple a new look.
Next, the one named Xiaoxia came and said Senior Brother, our graduation certificates are all detained in school. Jiang Ming asked what was going on? Didn't you graduate? I've all graduated and found a job, why do I still deduct my graduation certificate?
Xiaoxia said that they could only get their graduation certificate after a one-year internship, but they did not participate in the school's job fair, and the sect above pressured the school, so the school did not dare to offend others, so it announced that the graduation certificate would be deducted.
Jiang Ming said it's okay, we don't need that thing in the Taoist temple, and we will give you the same gift when the time comes. After the internship expires, I will ask the master to find someone to bring you the graduation certificate. After hearing this, Xiaoxia went to tell her classmates with joy.
After the registration was made, the account of the chartered bus was settled. Master Ge brought four uncles over, and Jiang Ming introduced several elders to everyone. And announced that the apprenticeship ceremony will be held early the day after tomorrow, so that everyone can fast, bathe, and change into Taoist clothes.
This apprenticeship ceremony is relatively simple, because there are few people, so the pomp is not big. Master Ge just invited some deputy leaders of Yichun and Zhangshu to come over to watch the ceremony, and they were busy. Other sects sent a Zhigong to Longhu Mountain to send some talismans over.
The rest of the small temples also gave some gifts, and no one even came. There is also no news media, and it is deserted.
This sect of only seven people, and unwilling to be a temple of descendants and jungle temples of the great sect, are excluded in society or in Buddhism and Taoism, and it is a very difficult state of survival. During this kneeling ceremony, the initiation disciples wore the Taoist clothes they had purchased when they were studying, and there were all kinds of clothes. The people who watched the ceremony also looked miserable and home.
Although the Chongzhen Palace of the Pavilion Soap Sect accepted thirty-six disciples, it surprised the peers around him. But compared with other sects, there are hundreds of people in the entire sect, and only a dozen people are recruited every year. The small temple and small view only accept one or two people.
More sects want to see the jokes of Chongzhen Palace, just that little temple property, and accepted thirty-six disciples at once, I see how you can survive. In fact, Gesoap Mountain is quite big, but the temple property is a little less.
Zhigong Zou Shiyi took the leaders and the Zhigong of Longhu Mountain to dinner, and set up a table in the largest hotel in Zhangshu County. This table cost 6,000 yuan, which made Zou Zhigong feel distressed to death. However, Jiang Ming said, uncle, don't give me a red envelope of 1,000 yuan per person after the meal.
On the second day of apprenticeship, the custom-made Taoist clothes were shipped over, and each person received three sets and wore them first. Wearing a uniform uniform, I look more energetic overall. Jiang Ming let the custom-made flags be hung, the top of the palace was all pulled up with triangular flags, and the roads around the Chongzhen Palace were full of flags. I looked a little angry.
The head of Ge Tong led all the disciples to do the morning class, and then opened the altar to preach the Fa, and the fat man and I also sat on the futon and listened, and we all wanted to doze off when we heard this Fa.
Seeing that everyone was drowsy, Master Ge began to talk about the history of the Pavilion Soap Sect, and then added some interesting stories, and sure enough, everyone's spirit came up.
I didn't know much about Taoism, so I listened more carefully. Listening to this, it turns out that the historical origin of the Lingbao Sect is still very rich.
