Faculty of Enlightenment and Training.

The entrance to the office of the administrative office.

There were two rows of chairs, and many young people in cyan robes sat on the chairs, looking at the office.

Creak~

The door opens.

A small Taoist priest in a robe, with a hint of frustration on his face, walked out of it.

"Brother Dao, how is it?"

"Alas, assigned to the Lord of One View!"

Obviously, he was assigned to become the master of a Taoist temple, but this little Taoist priest did not have the slightest joy on his face.

Because this means that this Taoist temple must be in the horns, and it is possible that there are few people within a radius of ten miles.

Hear the words of this little Taoist priest

These Taoist priests who were waiting for graduation and assignment showed solemn expressions on their faces.

This so-called 'viewer' not only does not in the place where he works, but also has a special allowance of only a few hundred yuan in income.

"Next, Xuanqing, come in and listen to the seal!"

Xuan Qing stood up from his chair.

....

Enter the room.

There is an incense burner on the solid wood table that has been thrown over the light, and a Taiji diagram hangs on the wall.

It's a minimalist office.

Behind the desk, there sat an old man with gray hair and reading glasses.

"Commonly known as Su Chen, road number Xuanqing, Liucheng County, Qinglin City.... Origin, "Tao Sutra", "Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Immeasurable People on the Wonderful Sutra", "Taishang Induction Chapter". The average grade point is 92. ”

So many words in one breath.

The old Taoist priest picked up the thermos cup on the table and moistened his throat.

"The results are good, but now the famous mountains and grand views are full, you see if you choose to wait a little longer.. Or is it the incumbent of the Lord? ”

There was a hint of appreciation in the old Taoist priest's eyes.

"Back to the seniors, the disciple plans to get a job as soon as possible!"

Xuan Qing said calmly.

Hear that.

The old Taoist couldn't help but have a surprised expression on his face.

For most of the graduated little Taoist priests, who don't want to stay in the famous mountains and grand views, close to the city, and the welfare benefits are comparable to civil servants.

"With your grades, if the places in the famous mountain and grand view are vacant, they will definitely be prioritized, have you thought about it clearly?" The old Taoist priest asked again with certainty.

"The disciple has thought clearly!"

Xuanqing's face did not change, and he nodded slightly.

"Alas~" The old Taoist priest sighed, and then took out a map from the drawer.

On this map, there are dense dots, and nearly half of them are circled with red pens.

These circled points represent the currently vacant Taoist temples.

Speaking of which.

Nowadays, the Taoist gate is declining, and the population distribution is uneven, the famous mountains and grand temples are crowded and people can't enter, and no one cares about the Taoist temples with horns and pimples.

As a lonely person, Xuanqing doesn't care about welfare benefits, just have a place to stay, which is in line with Taoist teachings.

Take the map.

Xuanqing didn't pick either, and randomly pointed to a circle on the map.

"Senior, disciple is here."

"Changling Mountains, Qingping Mountain, Qingping Temple.." Lao Dao helped his reading glasses, and his expression was a little surprised, "There is a clear in your Taoist number, and this Taoist temple is also clear, but it is a good match!" ”

"Okay, the dean will personally give the urn in the afternoon, remember to go in advance!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Xuanqing bowed slightly, pinched a yin and yang fish hand with both hands, and bowed slightly.

....

Time came to the afternoon.

There were only a few scattered people in the venue.

Obviously, most of the Taoist priests who graduated chose to change careers or wait for the quota to become vacant, and were not willing to take up positions in remote places where birds don't.

"After the confession, you have become the master of one view, every word and deed represents the Tao, poor Dao hopes that you will follow the law, abide by morality, do not do..."

The dean who spoke was also an old Taoist with white hair, but the clothes he was wearing were purple, representing the position of the Heavenly Master of the Daomen.

The opening remarks are finished.

Get to the point and start teaching.

The ritual is not very complicated, first kneeling to worship the ancestors of the three Qing Daoists, and then burning incense and reciting the scriptures.

At last.

It was the dean of the Heavenly Master who personally distributed the utensils to the people.

Among them: the Banner of the Emperor, the Dao Seal, the Dharma Seal, the Shibao, the Chaowat, the Emperor's Order, the Devil Fighting Staff, the Peach Wood Sword... Wait a minute.

In addition, each person also has four sets of clothes, two sets of green robes and two sets of yellow robes, the former is worn at ordinary times, and the latter is used when opening the altar.

With the development of the Daomen to the present, all kinds of utensils, rituals, etc., are indispensable and have all uses.

Ultimately.

Xuanqing also received his share.

One of the most noteworthy and important instruments is the 'Gong Pai'

This is a rectangular jade plaque.

The obverse of it is engraved with the words 'Taiji Palace Elects Jinshi Wulei Yuan Left Judge and Thunder Commander with the Thunder Capital'

The back of it is engraved with the word 'Xuanqing'.

The former represents the Taoist official who has been conferred, and the latter represents the Taoist number.

It is worth mentioning.

From low to high, the Taoist officials are divided into nine grades, nine grades, eight grades, and eight grades... And so on.

Until Zhengyipin's Tai Chi Zuo Immortal Weng Nine Heavens Jin Que Servant Shen Xiao Yushu interviewed the envoy and sentenced the Shen Xiao Jade Mansion Thunder Ministers'

Generally speaking, the first award starts with the Nine Rank 'Right Judge of the Five Thunder Courtyard'.

And because Xuanqing was directly appointed as the master, he awarded the 'left judge' of the nine products.

Don't look at it as just the penultimate sesame official, but if you put it in the myth, the ordinary mountain gods and the people of the land have seen it, it is all to salute respectfully and call 'I have seen the Xuanqing Daoist'

.....

Three days later.

Changling Mountain Range, Qingping Mountain Peak.

It took three hours just to climb the mountain.

What greeted you was a gate made of blue bricks and moss-covered walls.

"No wonder the academy has given the position of the master, and no one wants to take up such a remote Taoist temple!"

Xuan Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought secretly in his heart.

Push open the door.

Creak~

The sound of the old wooden door in the countryside sounded.

After entering the Taoist temple, you will be greeted by a small courtyard, with a ground of sand and gravel mixed with mud, and overgrown with weeds.

Obviously, this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time.

"It seems... Some are busy! ”

Xuan Qing shook his head.

In the future, if you want to live here for a long time, you will first look around in the Taoist temple and familiarize yourself with the site.

After some searching.

He found that although the temple was small, it was fully functional and functional.

"I didn't expect it to be a descendant temple!"

Xuanqing sighed.

The so-called Taoist temples are divided into two types, one is the jungle temple and the other is the descendant temple.

The former is similar to a public Taoist temple, while the latter is passed down from generation to generation between master and apprentice, and temple property can be inherited.

Of course.

Now all land is owned by the state, but the doctrine of inheritance has died.

What's even more surprising is that.

Next to the wellhead in the backyard, a hand-pressed pump is still working.
