Chapter 25 Verification

"That's right."

After considering the sentence, Li Huaiguang clarified his intention:

"Because Your Excellency triggered the celestial phenomena in the county test before, it is suspected that the true seed of the Yin God is condensed, so Huaiguang adheres to the intention of the Taoist Academy and comes to verify this matter."

"If this matter is true, it will be reported to the court, and after the imperial court, it will be awarded the meritorious name of Tongjinshi, and there is no need to refer to it."

The imperial examination is not an end in itself, but only a means.

Screening the world's cultivation seeds and replenishing new blood for the imperial court and Dao veins is the goal.

Therefore, as long as you can gather the true species, you can be awarded meritorious fame and be born with Jinshi.

In terms of status, it is equivalent to the same jinshi in the third list, which is slightly lower than the top three in the first list compared to the second list of jinshi.

With the corresponding strength, there must be the corresponding treatment.

In any case, this is a world of Taoist manifestation after all.

With the Dao Law, it is naturally impossible to be poor anymore.

Even if you are lazy to eat, just by virtue of that Dao method, the court and the Dao vein will give a minimum of supplies out of appeasement.

If not, don't blame others for relying on Taoism to run amok and lawless!

This kind of system did not exist before, but was carved little by little after a long period of time.

In the early days of the founding of the dynasty, there was no such perfect system.

Subsequently, there were many scattered cultivators who relied on supernatural powers and mana to do illegal things.

In order to curb loose cultivation, the Dao vein system had to be introduced.

In the middle of the scattered cultivation, the cultivators are advanced and advanced, and they are divided into dojos, passed down the Taoist system, and form large and small Taoist veins.

Then unite with the Dao lineage and implement a legal ban, prohibiting people without merit from practicing the Fa privately, so as to curb the number of loose cultivators.

The imperial court recruited Taoist officials, trained warlocks like technicians, and enriched the government offices and the army to suppress illegal cultivation in various places.

However, the number of Taoist officials is limited, and there are many people in the world who practice the Fa, and there are too many vacancies and too many candidates.

Even for children, there are 20 in each county in three years.

Of the 20 children, only one-third of them can cultivate the Fa.

Among them, one-third can build a foundation.

After the foundation is built, you can obtain follow-up methods, including but not limited to continuing the imperial examination, taking refuge in the Dao lineage, family transmission of the Dao Method, etc., and those who can cultivate to the mage will not be one in ten.

The mage is already enough to serve as a serious seven-grade Taoist official.

Although there are only five or six people who can become mages after thousands of people cultivate the Fa, even so, after accumulating from generation to generation, the entire Central Plains has achieved Fa cultivation, which is still far beyond the position that the imperial court can provide.

Those who have succeeded in cultivating the Fa must not be poor, and if they are poor, they will be in turmoil, and they will be able to support them.

This is a bloody lesson.

Just imagine, a Taoist who can transform into a humanoid self-propelled missile at any time, if it really comes to the point where he can't get by, he doesn't want to lose face, and he relies on all kinds of spells he has mastered, can't he grab it?

Some people may think that this is the style of the underworld green forest, a dignified and moral person, a master of cultivation, how can he not be poor and happy?

In fact, the reason is very simple.

For as long as they need to roll around in the world for a day, they can't do without money.

Even if he himself can eat and drink dew, be accompanied by the breeze of the rivers and mountains, and the bright moon in the mountains, live in grottoes, and sleep in rock beds, it does not mean that his clansmen and disciples can do this.

There was a strange thing in the early days of this dynasty, a casual cultivator who lived in seclusion in the market, his family was really difficult to maintain, but he himself had no other skills except Taoism.

There is no other way to make money, after all, he doesn't know how to cultivate immortals such as Yang Mansion Feng Shui, alchemy and medicine, etc., and he only has a strange spell, which is suitable for fighting with others, but he can't make money to support his family.

So there was a ridiculous thing - the yin god and ghost immortal who had survived the three calamities actually stole three hundred taels of treasury official silver because of poverty, and alarmed the god of the treasury, the county town god, and the county city god all the way, and sent a total of eight hundred yin soldiers to form a formation to get him.

Then he was completely annihilated by his superb killing skills······· Most of the 800 Yin soldiers went, and less than 200 escaped.

Later, the imperial court still paid a considerable price and forcibly suppressed this ghost immortal, but the follow-up impact was extremely far-reaching, and it was far from being comparable to just three hundred taels of silver.

Lin Zhengyang has also read this matter from a miscellaneous history, which is full of doubts, not to mention him, but one thing is certain - from now on, anyone who cultivates to a high level will be awarded a loose official, an idle position or a title, and will be given money and grain, cloth, tea and other rewards every year according to the routine.

Or it can be said to be appeased, and some people say it is bribery.

The reward is not much, but it is enough to support a family of five and live a well-off life.

At the very least, we can avoid that kind of extreme case again—after all, not every cultivator can make money from the Dao.

Although there are few extreme examples of those who only know how to practice and fight, there will inevitably be a few when the base number is large.

The so-called reward is actually to let this kind of guy have no worries about food and clothing, and not be desperate to cause trouble.

These things have long been routine, and Lin Zhengyang has long known about them.

Even, he knows the specific treatment.

Awarded to the Tongjin Shi, the official positions that can be held are not only Taoist officials, but also general affairs officials.

If you are not an official, based on this background alone, you will be regarded as a disbanding official from the ninth rank and receive a salary.

Loose officials, that is, idle positions in name, only one-third of those in office are paid.

In fact, if you want to rely on this wealth, you can't, but you can reduce half of the tax, which is the way to get money - even if you really don't know anything except practice, just by virtue of this half-tax right, there are more people to rely on, let alone be a landlord, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

However, this Tongjinshi is only awarded to the true seed of self-condensation, or the serious test, the number is not too much, and the treatment fluctuates between the ninth grade and the positive ninth grade.

For other ways, it is a different title, such as the ghosts and immortals are all crowned with a certain and such a wonderful person who cultivates a certain person, referred to as a certain master, and the treatment is analogous to that of the seven-rank loose official, which is about one-third of the in-service seven-rank county magistrate.

Since the beginning of the ghosts, they have their own temples, receive incense sacrifices, and receive some incense money.

The title of the earth immortal is a real person, and it is analogous to the five products, which can be worshiped by the state and county.

The title of the immortal is Zhenjun, which is analogous to the three products, and is listed as a national ritual.

The title of Tianxian is Daojun, which is analogous to a product and is listed as a national ritual.

And Yi Tianxian is called the Taoist ancestor, analogous to the emperor of heaven, and sacrificed to him with the rites of the emperor.

"How do I verify?"

A series of privileges cannot be granted lightly, and must be verified and deserved.

Li Huaiguang took out a small box of vermilion lacquered paulownia wood, silently recited a mantra, and prayed in his heart, and then saw a faint red light from the box, the lid above became transparent, and a page of gold leaf floated out of it, suspended in the air.

"This is supervised by the Taoist Division, made by the Royal Warlock Regiment, called Qianji gilt paper, just a wisp of gas machine to enter, it can be preserved for a hundred years."

"If it is the power of the Yin God, it can be extended to a thousand years."

"It can also be used to distinguish whether the mana qi is pure or not, whether there is confusion with demonic qi, whether it is mixed with divine power······"

Those who have cultivated to the Yin God have been tempered many times with their own mana, purified from the blood qi to produce the internal qi, and then practiced into the true qi, until the Yin God gathers, can it be transformed into mana.

Mana is complete, and there are many wonders, such as mana that does not pass away for a hundred years.

Ordinary internal qi, blood qi, and true qi, unless otherwise specific, will quickly fail if they are not properly stored after leaving the body.

Even when a talisman is made, the power in it is constantly lost, ranging from days to months.

Yin God mana, but it can be preserved for a long time, and its nature is enough to last for more than a hundred years.

There is a folk legend that a person gets a sword bag given by a sword immortal, and the sword qi still exists after decades, and it is the magic of mana that can kill demons and evils.

Lin Zhengyang sat still, but countless beams of light were born in his body, and the whole body was emitting a cold moon-like brilliance, and gradually the whole person was shrouded in a full moon, and his feet gradually left the ground and floated in the air.

The full moon grew bigger and bigger, and the light shone into the room, gradually occupying the room, passing through the tables, chairs and benches, which were three or four meters high.

The page of gold paper, illuminated by this cold light, suddenly seemed to come to life, and there was a melted gold liquid flowing on it.

"Please keep your mana on paper."

A bright moon was in front of him, and Li Huaiguang's eyes were almost so bright that he couldn't open his eyes, but he still didn't forget his duty.

The full moon shining brightly in the sky, leaving a trace of liquid brilliance at the edge, fell on the gold paper, and then a small crescent moon jumped on the paper, with a unique mana breath belonging to Lin Zhengyang.

After verification, King Li Huai took a red pen, dipped it in cinnabar with his own hands, and wrote hard under the gold paper that night.

As soon as each line is written, the traces fade until they become watermarks.

"The qi is pure, it belongs to the yin god, and there is no external divine power, demonic qi······"

"The appearance of the full moon is full, the hue is full, there is no slag, the quality is quite complete, and the potential belongs to the superior ······"

"The net worth is innocent, the real seed is condensed in the county test of Heisei County, the yin god is gathered on the tenth day, verified and confirmed, it is really a ghost and immortal, it is advisable to grant the name of Gaoshi, open the temple to worship, and the incense is endless at four o'clock······"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and Li Huaiguang gradually felt struggling.

Writing this kind of approval requires his mana for every line.

Because of this kind of approval, it will alarm the Dragon Court, the Underworld, and even the Daolu Division, which preserves the Dao books, which is equivalent to him continuing to cast the spell of remote communication.

The gold paper itself also has a forbidden law, and at this time, he is extracting his own mana to judge whether the judgment is conclusive or not.

Because it involves the mana of the ghost immortals, it consumes a lot of qi at this time.

Fortunately, he himself has the path of a mage, but he feels a little struggling, but if the path is shallow, he can't write it at this time.

“······ Testifiers, Songshan Guan, Li Huaiguang. ”

After writing, the red pen came out of his hand and shattered into bamboo shavings.

In the confrontation of the qi machine, this magic pen has been overwhelmed.

The golden paper vibrated and flew out of the hall, turning into a golden light and heading towards the imperial capital.

In the distance, I heard a "rumbling" sound of thunder in the air.

Seeing this golden light go away, Li Huaiguang turned around, sorted out his appearance, and solemnly bowed:

"Huaiguang is Gao Shihe."

"The fish leaps over the dragon gate, the sea and the sky are wide, and it has been extraordinary since then."
