After Pei Xiaolou briefly talked about the financial situation of the Daomen, he turned to the topic: "Tianyuan, you should have known that before you become a high-grade Taoist, you have to go to the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace for several months of further training, and when the training is over, you will really become a four-grade wine Taoist, so strictly speaking, you can only be regarded as half a four-grade wine Taoist now." ”

Qi Xuansu nodded: "After all, I am from the Vientiane Dao Palace, of course I have heard of it." As far as I know, each training has a fixed time, once every three months, the enrollment time is the fifteenth day of the first month, April fifteenth, July fifteenth, October fifteenth, now it is June, the April fifteenth batch has ended, the July fifteenth batch has not started, do you have to wait for a month? ”

Pei Xiaolou said with a smile: "You are talking about the old yellow calendar, since last year, Vientiane Dao Palace began to try out a new training system, named 'Young Talent Program', which includes the alternate sacrificial wine and the preparatory sacrificial wine, twice a year, each time for three months, the first time is from the fifteenth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of April, with an interval of one month, and then the second time from June 15th to September 15th, you are considered to have caught up this time, the time is just right." ”

Qi Xuansu was puzzled: "Why didn't anyone notify me to participate in this when I was making the alternate sacrificial wine?" ”

Pei Xiaolou said: "You were wrecked on a flying boat on the first day of the first lunar month, and after you came back, you went directly to Jinling Mansion. ”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said, "There are strict age limits for alternate sacrificial wine and preparatory sacrificial wine, so I'm going to be classmates with a group of children." ”

Without waiting for Pei Xiaolou to speak, Zhang Yuelu already quipped: "Half an hour ago, you were still an alternate sacrificial wine, so you don't put the alternate sacrificial wine in your eyes in a blink of an eye?" Also, how old you are, as if you were thirty or forty years old. ”

Pei Xiaolou agreed: "Zhang Gaogong is right. ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "I have never been poor and difficult to become an adult, and I am innocent without a blow." People in the world, mature or not, and age is not directly related, but with the number of ups and downs to experience frustrations, if a life worry-free, is a centenarian, may also be a naughty child, if everywhere bumpy, is a young man can also be sophisticated, this is also the troubled times in the young people can always control the situation in the world of the reason, the troubled times are not better than the prosperous times, it is not easy to survive, the world will let these surviving young people grow up rapidly in a short period of time. Although it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, I have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so I feel that I am this kind of young man who is growing up rapidly. ”

Zhang Yuelu rarely heard Qi Xuansu tell a joke, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the arrogance of the wild Taoists, I always feel that the Taoists in the flower garden are innocent without a blow, and they don't know what the truth is. ”

Qi Xuansu joked: "Why, if you flower garden Taoists are only allowed to look down on us wild Taoists, we wild Taoists are not allowed to look down on you flower garden Taoists?" ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the current Tiangang Hall is all wild Taoists, and my deputy hall mainly dares to look down on wild Taoists, and I can't let people scold them to death." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "On this point, I can testify. Deputy Hall Master Zhang not only does not look down on the wild Taoist priest, but also likes the wild Taoist priest very much. ”

Zhang Yuelu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "you." ”

Pei Xiaolou coughed lightly, interrupted the flirting between the two, and said, "Let's get down to business." Tianyuan, don't laugh and laugh, the original intention of this three-month training is to be the last test of being promoted to a high-grade Taoist, although over the years, it has gradually become a formality, and few people have been cut off from their future here over the years, but everything is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, you don't want to be happy and sad. ”

Qi Xuansu smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yuelu also said: "Now the person in charge of the Vientiane Dao Palace is a Pingzhang real person, who is square and old-fashioned, if you accidentally provoke him, even Donghua Zhenren will not be able to save you." ”

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Pingzhang is a real person." ”

In the Daomen, the status of Pingzhang Dazhen is very special, in terms of grade, it is a first-grade naïve Taoist, which is higher than all the second-grade Taiyi Taoists including Shenzhi Zhenren, second only to the Great Palm Sect and His Majesty the Emperor who are in the super grade, and is the high-level of the Daomen.

However, in terms of position, Pingzhang Dazhen is lower than the deputy head of the sect, and it is the third level of the nine grades and twelve levels, below the four people, and above the ten thousand.

As for how to promote Pingzhang Dazhen, there are three main ways.

One is from above, such as the three deputy masters of the Great Sect who were deposed by the Five Generations of Great Masters of the Great Sect, of course, they were not reduced to ordinary Taoist priests from then on, but they just removed the title of Deputy Masters and became Pingzhang Great Masters, which is equivalent to a downgrade. There is also Mrs. Xuansheng, who once served as the great real person of Taiping Dao, but she had no intention of dealing with all kinds of mundane affairs, and later directly gave way to the Eastern Emperor, and was willing to be a Pingzhang great real person, but with her identity, it doesn't matter whether she has the title of deputy head of the sect or not. Even later, there was an unwritten rule in the Daomen, as long as the Taoist companions of the Great Palm Sect were not the deputy masters of the Great True Sect, they all enjoyed the treatment of the Great True Persons of Pingzhang.

There is also a kind of going up from below, just take it now, Cihang Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren compete for the position of the Great Palm Sect, according to the convention, no matter which real person wins the position of the Great Palm Sect, for the unity and stability within the Daomen, the other two competitors will be canonized as Pingzhang Dazhen, which is not only to appease, but also to pave the way for the two to take over the position of Deputy Commander of the Great Sect in advance.

There are also some highly respected Counsellors who are unable or unwilling to compete for the positions of Deputy Counsellor and Grand Counsellor, and are higher than ordinary Counsellors, and will also be promoted to Pingzhang Dazhenren.

The last way is to recruit An, such as Taiyin Zhenjun, who was once ranked with Gu Immortals such as Si Ming Zhenjun, Ziguang Zhenjun, and Wu Luo, and later returned to the Daomen, and was canonized as Pingzhang Dazhen by Xuansheng. This is also reasonable, it is impossible to let an outsider be the chief leader of the Dao Sect or the deputy head of the Dao Sect, so the first grade naïve Taoist priest who is second only to these four people is the most suitable choice.

No matter which way it is, it shows that the master of the Vientiane Dao Palace, the real person who is in charge of the palace, is a big man who can't be provoked.

Otherwise, you won't be able to suppress so many proud sons of the sky, you must know that Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, Yao Pei and others, sooner or later, will come to this Vientiane Dao Palace for a trip, and wait for the second grade Taiyi Taoist, where can they hold it?

In addition, after the scholars of the imperial court participated in the palace examination, they all called the protégés of the Son of Heaven and called the chief examiner the seat teacher. In the same way, so many four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist priests entered the Vientiane Taoist Palace for further study, and it can be regarded as having a master-apprentice incense relationship, the first thirty years to see the father and the son, and the last thirty years to see the son to respect the father, no one knows which cloud has rain. I don't know how many real people and real people covet this position, to put it mildly, the dog's brain has to be typed out, and there must be a person with enough weight to cut off other people's minds.

Qi Xuansu was full of emotion, in the past, in the lower palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace, looking up at the upper palace, he only felt that there were two worlds, and only the legendary sons of heaven were qualified to enter it. At that time, he never expected that he would be able to have a relationship with the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace before the age of forty, but he didn't expect that he was not yet thirty years old, and he had the qualifications to set foot in the upper palace, which was really impermanent.

Pei Xiaolou said: "You don't have to pay too much attention, that big real person is still relatively easy to speak, with your ability to see the wind and steer and pretend, there shouldn't be any big mistakes." ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help coughing: "What does it mean to see the wind and make the rudder and pretend." ”

Pei Xiaolou smiled: "You are ready, go directly to the Vientiane Dao Palace, this time it can be regarded as returning home." ”

"In addition, there are a few points you should pay attention to, the ancestor of the Taishang Dao has clouds: 'I have three virtues, hold on to them, one is kindness, the second is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world.'" Therefore, in the Vientiane Dao Palace, you should not use swords and soldiers, corresponding to the word 'Ci'; you don't need to bring Taiping money, and there is no place to spend it, corresponding to the word 'thrifty'; and there is also to abide by the rules, corresponding to 'dare not be the first in the world'. ”

"As for some other precautions, the last time I went to the Upper Palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace was decades ago, and I have long forgotten about it, but Qingxiao just went a few years ago, so you better let Qingxiao tell you."

Qi Xuansu is a casual person, and when he heard the word "rules", he couldn't help but have a headache, and asked: "The first two can understand, why 'don't you dare to be the first in the world' to obey the rules?" ”

Zhang Yuelu patiently explained: "There is a saying in the chapter "Solving the Elders": If you discuss it in the court and then say it, the person who makes the right to discuss it will know it. Therefore, if you want to be square and follow its rules, everything will be done. And there are rules for everything, and there are rules for those who speak. The saint follows the rules of all things, so he says, 'Don't dare to be the first in the world'. Youyun: Not for the first in the world, success can be world-leading. As the saying goes, only after the outside of its body, for the return of things, and then it can stand, into a tool for the benefit of the world, for the length of things. ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a while, trying to understand the meaning of this large string of ancient texts, and then said: "It is worthy of being an immortal, admire." ”

Zhang Yuelu then explained some other precautions, such as what to learn in it, what subjects are there, what is the level of the teachers, what is their identity, and several main places to go to the palace.

Qi Xuansu wrote them down one by one.

As for luggage, Qi Xuansu has nothing to pack, this is the benefit of Sumeru, and he no longer has to hang large bags and various weapons on his body as in the past.

After explaining all kinds of precautions, Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm okay left and right, it's better for me to go with you, just revisit the old place, and wait for you to complete all the formalities, I won't be too late to leave." ”

Qi Xuansu was so happy, so he naturally agreed.

As for Pei Xiaolou, he didn't join in the fun, firstly, because he didn't want to disturb the solitude of the two, and secondly, he still wanted to see Xu Xiaoying, and the two joined forces to complete Qi Xuansu's matter. This is also an investment bet, if Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are ranked in the golden gate in the future, then they will make a lot of money.
