Arctic Exorcism ...... Zhang Zhiwei thought about what his uncle said about the immortal official's legal duties.

In fact, the five levels of the Dharma urn all have corresponding Dharma positions in the Dharma lineage.

However, just because you have a corresponding legal position does not mean that you will be able to do it.

After all, the Dharma lineage is so big, but there are many Taoist priests from various sects, and once it is divided, it is not enough.

Dao giants like the Heavenly Master's Mansion have two types of Dharma positions to choose from, namely the Shangqing Heavenly Council and the Arctic Exorcism Academy.

In fact, in addition to the Shangqing Heavenly Privy Yuan and the Arctic Exorcism Academy, there are many other Dharma positions in the Taoist lineage, such as Shenxiao Palace, Yufu Palace, Zhongtian Temple, Taiji Temple, Fumo Temple, and Huangqi Temple......

However, these Dharma positions are all held by Taoist priests from other sects, such as the Shenxiao Sect, the Qingwei Sect, the Pure Ming Sect, the Mixed Yuan Sect, and so on.

In short, the talisman is a fairly large system, and although the Dharma urns of each sect come from the same lineage, they are different.

And among the two major Dharma positions received by the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

The Shangqing Heavenly Privy Academy is a literary academy, and most of the Taoist priests who are not good at fighting and killing are from this academy, like Uncle Zhang Yi is from this academy.

The Arctic Exorcism Institute is a martial arts institute, and the Taoist priests who like to shout and shout and kill are mostly from this courtyard, like Yi Qian, who is looking at Yiqian, Zhang Shoucheng is the Arctic Exorcism Academy.

Those who enter this courtyard can receive a heavenly soldier to protect their bodies, and when they invite the gods in the courtyard, the rituals can be simplified, and the higher the position, the simpler the various rituals.

Among the gods belonging to the Arctic Exorcism Temple, there are the Four Saints of the North Pole, the Five Dipper Star Monarchs, the Five Virtue Star Monarchs, the Twenty-Eight Star Gods, the Twelve Palace Gods, the Tianding God King, and the Five Yue Mansion Monarchs......

In short, don't look at the name of the Arctic Exorcism Academy, it doesn't sound good, but it can be described as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, like the Zhenwu Emperor invited by Zhang Shoucheng before, also known as the Four Sages of the Arctic, is one of the four generalissimos of the Arctic Exorcism, which shows how high its gold content is?

After all, this is the Dharma lineage to which the Taoist ancestral court Longhu Mountain belongs, and the allocation of resources in it is naturally the best.

However, there is a way that if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, this soldier and horse are not white-collar workers, and if they become officials in the legal lineage, they have to do the right thing.

As for what's going on?

You have to go out of the mountains to earn merit.

If they all retreat to the mountains and practice, where does the power of faith of the Dharma Lineage gods come from?

As for the specific number of merits required for each legal office, Zhang Zhiwei has not set foot in this way yet, so he has not learned too much.

"Uncle Shi, you said that you would arrange for me to serve as a legal officer in the Arctic Exorcism Institute, so you plan to arrange a ...... for me."

Zhang Zhiwei was about to ask Zhang Shoucheng, how many soldiers and horses did he plan to arrange for him? was interrupted by Zhang Shoucheng.

Zhang Shoucheng corrected: "It's not an arrangement, how can I have the ability to arrange?" It's Baoju, I'm just guaranteeing you to serve in the Arctic Exorcism Institute of the Dharma Lineage, and you have to be reviewed and approved by the Degree Master and the Supervisor before you can report to the Dharma Lineage! ”

"I see!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't that foolproof?" ”

"How to be foolproof?" Zhang Shoucheng asked.

"The Baoju Master is Uncle You, the Master of the Transmission is Uncle Zhang Yi, the Master of the Supervisor is my Master, and everyone is their own person, so isn't it foolproof?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

Zhang Shoucheng paused and said with a smile: "You say that, it seems to make some sense, but this can only be said to be nine out of ten, and it cannot be said to be foolproof, because the final ruling result is in the hands of the gods of the law lineage, if the gods think that you can't do it, we will support you again, and it will be in vain!" ”

"Oh, I see, the most important thing is the opinion of the gods!"

When he said this, Zhang Zhiwei inexplicably remembered the Zhenwu Emperor who passed on his swordsmanship, listened to the emperor's tone, praised him, and handed him the heavy task of sweeping away the demons and cleaning up the world.

And Emperor Zhenwu is one of the four generalissimos in the Arctic Exorcism Academy, second only to the Northern Emperor in status, under one person, above ten thousand, he entered the Dharma lineage, isn't that a matter of words?

Come out to mix, you must have power, you must have a background, from the Baoju Division, to the Supervisor Division, to the Transmission Master, and then to the great gods in the Dharma lineage, they are all their own people, this relationship with the sky, how can he lose!

Zhang Shoucheng saw that Zhang Zhiwei was pondering, and thought that he was worried that he would not be able to pass the level of the Dharma Vein Gods, so he was relieved:

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this, the review of the gods of the Dharma Lineage mainly depends on the merits, if it is a wicked person who is not worthy of his merits, let alone serving in the Dharma Lineage, he may even be punished by God."

"But Zhiwei, your trip to Liaodong, punish the Japanese Kou, release the dragon vein, save the people, all kinds of things add up, the merits are immeasurable, you have almost no possibility of failure!"

"Then inherit Uncle Jiyan."

Zhang Zhiwei grinned and said: "By the way, Uncle Shi, I remember the 'Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra' of the third grade, and the legal position that can be held is also the highest of the third grade!" ”

"If I condense the Dharma to the 'Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra' at this conferral conference, do you want to promote me to a three-grade Dharma position?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shoucheng was directly shocked, glared at Zhang Zhiwei, and said angrily:

"Sanpin legal position, you kid also have the courage to mention it, do you know what the three-grade legal profession represents?"

"It means that you have higher authority in the Dharma lineage, you can lead more heavenly soldiers, and borrow more divine power. Stronger gods, please......" Zhang Zhiwei said in a long list.

Zhang Shoucheng said with a serious face: "These are the rights represented by the legal office, but have you ever thought about the obligations represented by the legal office?" ”

Zhang Zhiwei's face became serious: "Each corresponding Dharma position needs corresponding merits. ”

"Do you know the exact number?" Zhang Shoucheng asked.

"I want to hear about it!" Zhang Zhiwei said.

Zhang Shoucheng began to explain: "The nine-grade legal profession must save more than ten people a year. ”

"If the target is completed for several consecutive years, you can ask the master of Baoju to request promotion, and then at the conferral conference, after the master of the transmission degree reports the lineage, and the gods approve it, you can be promoted to the eighth grade of the legal position."

"The requirement for merit in the eight-grade legal profession is that more than 20 people must be saved in a year, and the target must be completed for several consecutive years, and the seventh-grade legal vocation can be promoted."

"The requirement of the seven-grade legal profession is to save thirty people every year, the six-grade is forty people, the fifth-grade is on a higher level, and it is necessary to save more than 100 people every year, and the fourth-grade is one hundred and twenty people, these are all conventional legal duties, and they are also the apex that ordinary Taoist priests can reach."

"As for the three-grade Dharma position you mentioned earlier, the merit is extremely high, and it must not be lightly awarded, and it needs to be completed with merit and the heavenly edict can be promoted."

"And if the merit is really immeasurable, and you are promoted to the third-grade legal position, then the requirements have changed again, and it is no longer calculated on an annual basis, but requires twelve merits in five years!"

"The so-called "one merit" here refers to the salvation of 100 people, that is to say, 1,200 people have been saved in five years, and on average, 240 people have been saved in one year.

"When it comes to the second-grade legal profession, the requirement is doubled again, and it takes ten years and one hundred and twenty merits, that is, 12,000 people, and an average of 1,200 people are saved a year, and if you can meet the requirements, you can have the opportunity to be promoted to the first-grade legal profession."

"This is the obligation that needs to be undertaken behind the various grades of legal positions, and more than ninety percent of the Taoist priests I teach are below the third-grade legal ranks!"

"The reason why this is the case is not only that the rank of the Dharma Jar is difficult to improve, but also that the things to be borne are too big, of course, if you can really make immeasurable merits and achieve a first-class Dharma job, then you can enjoy the incense in the Dharma lineage and be worshiped by my sect for generations!"

"So ......" Zhang Shoucheng paused, looked at Zhang Zhiwei, and asked with a serious face: "Do you still want to receive the three-grade legal position?" ”

Zhang Zhiwei didn't have a hot mind, and immediately answered, but asked rhetorically: "Uncle Shi, bald donkeys often talk about saving people's lives and building seventh-level floating slaughter, saving people, left and right are merits, but isn't it too hasty to measure merit by the number of people saved?" Is saving the good the same as saving the bad? ”

Zhang Shoucheng said: "Naturally, it is different, if you save a good person, the merit may be more than one person's merit, if you save a bad person, you will have bad cause and effect, and even damage the merit." ”

"But in this world, there are very few good people, and there are not many big evil people, and most of them are ordinary people who are intertwined with good and evil, so the standard of measurement is mainly ordinary people."

"Furthermore, this so-called measurement standard is just a rough estimate listed by the predecessors after summarizing the assessment of merit by the Dharma Lineage Deity, which is for reference only, and the real ruling on merit depends on the meaning of the deity."

"I see!" After listening to Zhang Shoucheng's explanation, Zhang Zhiwei nodded, and then said: "Then how to count the merits of killing demons and killing wicked people?" ”

"I knew you were going to ask this!" Zhang Shoucheng said: "These are also measured, generally speaking, for the national merit, or for the major things related to the sect, you can deserve the second merit." ”

"If you pray for rain for the people, drive away insects and locusts, relieve disasters and epidemics, and benefit the people and goods, you can do a great job!"

"If you cut down the mountain and break the temple, and abolish the obscene shrine and wild worship, you can do it!"

"The robber is wrong, for the party to blame, find his traces, can cut off his roots, can be a credit!"

"If you refine your soul to resolve grievances, ask for your life for the people, and know the retribution, you can do it!"

"If you have a difficult birth, help each other, and the mother and child will all live, which can be a credit!"

……

Zhang Shoucheng said a lot, and in the end, he stopped talking, patted Zhang Zhiwei on the shoulder, and said:

"In short, what I said, just be a reference, don't be too deliberate, merit or something, it has its own destiny, if it's too deliberate, it will be self-defeating!"

After listening to what Zhang Shoucheng said, Zhang Zhiwei inexplicably remembered a news he saw in his previous life, a Taoist priest named Cangnan Xianju Daoist, left the Taoist temple, went out to travel, did good deeds along the way, helped people build walls and tiles, built roads and bridges, and made merits for a full year.

When he looked back, he saw that he was a good guy, his hometown had been converted into a scenic spot, and he had to buy a ticket when he entered the door, so angry that he sent a five-minute telegram on the spot.

A year's virtue is gone in five minutes.

……

Zhang Shoucheng saw that Zhang Zhiwei didn't speak, and said, "After listening to this, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "I'm thinking, no wonder many popular demon sadomasochistic stories have an incomprehensible bull's nose, in the case of no injustice and no hatred, suddenly jumped out, under the banner of subduing demons and eliminating demons, to break up the bitter mandarin duck, I only thought that this bull's nose was really an elm head." ”

"If you encounter it yourself, you must have the beauty of an adult, but now that you think about it, how can there be any beauty of an adult, this is all a great merit of walking, except for one, you should save a hundred people."

"It's easy to save people and save the bad, but it's a loss of merit, compared to it, this is a million benefits!"

Listening to Zhang Zhiwei's words, Zhang Shoucheng was dumbfounded, and then repeated what he just said:

"Heterogeneous gets Qi, and there are many evils, but it's not without good, in short, as I said before, it's good to be a reference, don't be too deliberate, if it's too deliberate, it will be self-defeating!"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Zhang Shoucheng and said:

"Uncle Shi, why do you keep repeating this sentence, don't you all say that one family doesn't speak two words? You're still playing dumb riddles with me, isn't the so-called merit actually the power of faith? ”

"If you do good deeds, you will be praised by others, and you will naturally have the power of faith, which is the so-called merit, but the faith obtained by doing good deeds is definitely not as good as directly preaching and accepting believers, right?!"

"Speaking of which, in this respect, the monks are doing better than us, although there are not a few ascetics among them, but in their lineage, those who are in high positions are often the kind of people who are good at preaching. These monks may not have done any good deeds, but they must have received a lot of followers! ”

After listening to what Zhang Zhiwei said, Zhang Shoucheng's face changed, he glared at Zhang Zhiwei, and suddenly understood his senior brother very well, why do you want to say that Zhang Zhiwei is arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes, can this kind of thing be said casually?

This is the third time he has felt such emotion in his heart, and today he can be regarded as empathizing with his senior brother fiercely.

"It's merit, not faith, and you have to remember!"

Zhang Shoucheng said with a serious face: "No matter how others are, no matter what other sects are, our Taoist priests from the Heavenly Master's Mansion go out, what they earn is merit, what they earn is not faith, the so-called faith is only incidental, merit is the first, if there is no merit to obtain faith, it is poison." ”

Zhang Zhiwei saw that Zhang Shoucheng became serious, and immediately said with a serious face:

"Uncle Shi, I know all this, you don't have to worry about me, I am cultivating my life, and the Dharma is just a matter of convenience, it doesn't matter if you want it or not."

"I don't have an obsession with it, so it's impossible to ignore my own heart for the sake of the so-called Dharma job, and I won't even go specifically to get merit, in short, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future!"

"But do good deeds, don't ask about the future......" Zhang Shoucheng repeated, praising him: "It's good, I know the shortcut, but I can still abide by my heart, I really didn't mistake you kid!" ”

"Oops, Ji Cao, Uncle Ji doesn't need to be surprised!" Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said.

"Ji Cao?" Zhang Shoucheng didn't understand the meaning.

"It's just the basics, no fuss about it!" Zhang Zhiwei explained with a smile.

Zhang Shoucheng: "............"

Zhang Zhiwei continued: "By the way, Uncle Shi, having said so much, remember that when the conferral was held, I was promoted to serve as the three products of the Arctic Exorcism Academy!" ”

"After hearing so much, you still want to serve as a third-grade lawyer?" Zhang Shoucheng said with a look of surprise.

"When my merit arrives, why don't I go?" Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his hand, folded his fingers, and said: "Come on, come on, uncle, I'll give you a break of my merits, for the national merit can be used as a second merit, we release the dragon vein this time, is it considered a national merit?" ”

Zhang Shoucheng nodded: "Count!" ”

"It's a second work!" Zhang Zhiwei said: "Kill the Japanese Invaders, I destroyed the railway garrison of the Japanese Invaders, and killed a river of blood, not to mention anything else, is it considered a national merit?" ”

This matter, Jianghu Xiaozhan and Zhang Dashuai helped hide his traces, and few people knew about it, but the four major families and the Heavenly Master Mansion were clear.

Zhang Shoucheng, as the high-level of Longhu Mountain, naturally knew about it, so he was worried that Zhang Zhiwei would not give up, and told Zhang Zhiwei on the yin and yang paper not to run around and wait for him to come back.
