Chapter 257: Verification of Letters
(Cat Flutter Chinese) The disciples in the Zhenjun Palace are divided into seven levels: Daoist, Taishang Elder (Daoqing), Elder (Daoist), Taoist, Deacon (True Disciple), Inner Disciple, and Outer Disciple.
Among them, the outer door, the inner door, and the true transmission of the three kinds of disciples are divided according to the cultivation, the human level monks and martial artists who have just begun to cultivate are the outer disciples, and they can be turned into inner disciples when they break through to the ground level when they are cultivated, and the inner disciples can be transformed into true disciples if they are promoted to the high grade of the ground level, and they can be turned into deacons if they cannot break through within the time limit.
The future of the true disciple is bright, even if he can't continue to improve, he can be sent to become the host of many small and medium-sized cities and palaces and temples in the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and become a small prince.
Once cultivated to the Heavenly Rank level, there is a lot more room for choice, and those who like power can become Daoists and Taoists with respected status in the True Monarch's Palace; The temple prince of the government side of the big city of Guanjiangkou, if he is diligent, he can even become the Taoist who is in charge of the mountain gate, a hall and a peak.
And those who pursue the Supreme Dao can do the elders who ignore mundane affairs and continue to concentrate on cultivating through the spiritual objects and pills in the palace, and break through to the realm of great monks and can also be promoted to the Supreme Elder.
But the deacon has no authority, and he has lost the way to progress, and he cannot progress in eternal life unless he has made great merits or made great progress in cultivation.
Although the Dao Tong who led Zhang Huansheng into the mountain was young and only a disciple of the outer sect, he was a child of a family in the Zhenjun Palace, and he also had extraordinary cultivation qualifications.
It is only because the cultivation time is too short and the cultivation is not deep, and because of the restrictions of the door rules, I have to bear the name of the outer disciples, and those who actually know the inside story are regarded as true transmissions.
Spoiled at a young age, he didn't understand the dangers of people's hearts and wanted the wind and rain in the sect, he couldn't help but be naΓ―ve with some arrogance, walking on the road, although he tried to pretend to be a famous brother graceful and atmospheric, but it was difficult to hide the pride between his eyebrows.
He said noisily: "Today, because of the wolf smoke ignited by the Yanhuang Tianzi, the Taoist master ordered the division to move together, and my master, senior brother, senior sister, and all the Taoist priests and Taoists in the general affairs hall rushed to the main peak 'Xianhua', leaving only me with an identity.
And although my Nanlinzi is only an outer disciple in the palace, as a closed disciple of Xilie Daoqing, the master of the True Monarch Palace, the weight is actually heavier than those deacons combined.
Coming to greet you instead of the master also shows respect for Patriarch Yunluo.
By the way, when you arrive in the palace of general affairs, you will first settle down in the guest room to rest, and when the master is empty, he will see you, and then you will say what you want.
It is extremely difficult for outsiders to cultivate the 'Eight or Nine Xuangong' to the human level, but in the eyes of the disciples of the True Monarch Palace such as me, the breakthrough is simple and tight, just follow the trick and cultivate step by step..."
Listening to Nan Linzi's words, Zhang Huansheng only responded perfunctorily a few times, but his mind had already been scattered elsewhere, looking left and right at the scattered bamboo and giant trees on both sides of the mountain road, and the strange beasts and birds wandering around, his face showed a look of amazement, and he secretly thought: "The foundation of this True Monarch Palace is profound, and there is really a bit of a fairyland in the mountain gate." β
The two of them chattered endlessly, one was absent-minded, and his feet did not touch the ground, and he seemed to be unhappy, but in fact, he climbed to the peak of ten thousand feet after only three or two cups of tea, and came to a clear lake rippling on the top of the peak.
Stopped, pointing to a few clumsy stilted bamboo and wood buildings built around the lake, Nan Linzi said: "These are the bamboo buildings for hospitality, and there happens to be no one, so you can choose a place to live first." β
"Thank you so much for showing the way." Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng smiled and bowed to Nanlinzi, and regardless of his embarrassed expression, he chose the wooden building with the door facing the sunrise direction, and strolled in.
Looking at his disappearing back, Nan Linzi had a calm face and muttered in a low voice, "Good boy, isn't it just a few years older, it's so infuriating to call me a boy", walked towards the magnificent palace and temple hidden in the mountains and clouds in the distance, and disappeared after a while.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, because of the corresponding edict of the Son of Yan and Huang Tianzi, it is a trivial matter to raise troops to go on an expedition to rescue, especially the general affairs hall has to bear a thousand responsibilities, so Zhang Huansheng has never seen Na Xilie Daoqing.
Fortunately, every time he arrived, the deacon brought him delicacies cooked with heart, and he was not lazy.
It was not easy to wait until noon four days later, when Xilie finally vacated his time and met Zhang Huansheng in the main hall of Jinyang Peak, where the General Affairs Hall was located.
The palace made of bluestone is as awe-inspiring as the abode of a giant, and when you step through the door, you can see a lifelike portrait of the true monarch hanging on the stone wall facing you.
Like an old man over sixty years old, with three strands of long hair, wearing a plain white robe, and holding a dusty hand, sitting cross-legged with a dusty style.
Zhang Huansheng, under the guidance of a true disciple of the True Monarch Palace, came to the old man's side, and without waiting for the young man who led the way to speak, he respectfully bowed his hand and said loudly: "Zhang Youxu, a young scholar, has seen Xilie Daoqing. β
Seeing his respectful attitude, the old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged smiled faintly, "You practice 'Eight or Nine Xuangong', although you are not a disciple of my True Monarch's Palace, you can also be called a 'Houxue boy', get up and sit down, after all, you are a guest from afar." β
Seeing Xi Lie's big appearance, Zhang Huansheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he straightened his waist quietly, and responded gently: "Thank you Daoqing for giving me a seat." He sat down cross-legged on a futon on Xilie's right hand.
After he sat down, Xi Lie asked bluntly: "I heard that you came with the Yunluo Zhenren Codex, and you want to practice Xuangong to break through the secret method, right?" β
"Yes." Zhang Huansheng replied according to the rules of the Taoist Gate: "The boy who studied later was born in the Spring and Autumn Academy of Qi State, because he paid for his own cultivation and was talented, he gave up all kinds of learning and did not study, and chose 'Eight or Nine Xuangong'..."
Before he finished speaking, he was proudly interrupted by Xi Lie: "Although my True Monarch Palace is a descendant of Yanhuang Miao, it has carved out the world by itself since the Middle Ages, and is in charge of one side of the world, and the power and wealth of the Yanhuang hinterland are as worthless as a passing cloud to us.
You don't need to tell you where you came from, just bring me the letter of Yunluo Zhenren and let me distinguish the truth from the false. β
When Zhang Huansheng heard this, he had to respond again, took out the letter written by Yunluo Zhenren from his arms, took it from his own Taoist boy on the side, and presented it to Xilie.
Xi Lie's face was pale, he took the letterhead with both hands, looked at it carefully for a long time, touched the mark left on the gold paper with his thumb, nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed the thing left by Yunluo Zhenren, you send it back to the True Monarch Palace today, you can exchange it."
It's just that it is not the duty of the General Affairs Hall to pass on the merits, and I need to transfer the letter to the Dongluo Taishang at the head of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, so that you can get your wish, so you can wait for another day. β
"Yes." Zhang Huansheng could only reply respectfully when he heard this.
