Chapter 21 Shelf
The monks who followed did not know the reason for the loud howling of the two housekeepers, and when they entered the door, they also dropped a piece or two of broken silver.
Lu Qingming entered the Huang Mansion, and the old man Huang was sitting in the second lobby drinking tea, and when he saw Lu Qingming coming in, he greeted happily, "Master Lu Xianming, come here, a friend just sent a good thyme incense, which is said to have the effect of nourishing the heart and lungs, sit down and taste it." ”
"No need. Is Senior Sister Xing back? Lu Qingming stopped and asked. Xing Yanzi is the deputy manager of the Lingtian Division, and Xing Yanzi will lead the team to take charge of the recruitment of miscellaneous disciples this time. Lu Qingming, Ren Jie and Luo Wan assisted. There are four people in the line, Xing Yanzi has the highest realm, is the seventh phase of Qi training, and his position is also the highest, and he is the deputy manager of the Lingtian Division. The other two, Ren Jie is the secretary of the fourth division of herbal medicine, and Luo Wan is the secretary of the second eye of the Lingtian division, both of them are in the fourth phase of qi training. Speaking of which, Xing Yanzi and the other three were all officials, and only Lu Qingming was an ordinary disciple of Lingtian Division.
As an immortal cultivator sect, the Pavilion Master is the highest person in power on the surface. Sectarian affairs are governed by the elders' deliberation system. The pavilion master does not have the power to say a word, and under the cabinet master, there are merit halls, outer gates, torture halls and feixin halls. The merit hall is in charge of merit promotion, and the disciple has made meritorious service to the sect, or the realm has been promoted to a certain level, he will be nominated and recommended by the merit hall to serve in the department. The Torture Hall is in charge of the sect's precepts, the outer gate is in charge of the most affairs and the most complex, and the Feixin Hall is the sect's intelligence department. The Hall of Merit, the Outer Gate, the Hall of Punishment, and the Hall of Feixin all have an elder in charge of the Jindan period. The major affairs of the sect are all discussed and decided by the four elders and the pavilion master. Below the elders, there are deacons, and the deacons are served by the foundation-building monks of the sect. For example, the outer gate has a spirit division, a herb division, an alchemy division, a refining division and a beast feeding division. Each division has a deacon, who is responsible for the overall responsibility of the division.
The most basic condition for a deacon to serve is to reach the foundation period. However, a monk who builds a foundation does not necessarily serve as a deacon. The appointment of deacons is nominated by the elders of each parish and the final decision of the Council of Elders.
Under the deacon, there are four more positions: steward, deputy steward, forehead and bill. The steward is equivalent to the managing general manager of the company and manages the day-to-day affairs, while the deputy steward cooperates with the steward in exercising his powers, and when the steward is out on business, the deputy steward handles the day-to-day affairs. The forehead is responsible for the collection and distribution of spirit stones, and the bill is assigned by the criminal department to exercise supervision and punishment in various departments.
The basic condition for the four positions of steward, deputy steward, forehead and bill is to practice qi for seven or more periods. However, this does not mean that a monk who has cultivated Qi in the seventh stage will definitely be able to hold the above positions. The arrangement of these offices is nominated by the deacon, reported to the corresponding elders, and ultimately decided by the elders.
There are ten divisions of herbal medicine, which are counted as the first division of herbal medicine, the second division, etc., and there are also ten places in the Lingtian Division, which are counted as Lingtian one eye, Lingtian two eyes until Lingtian ten eyes, such as the first division of herbal medicine Lingtian Yimu, such a subdivision organization, also has three positions: secretary (managing daily affairs, governing disciples), hall affairs (responsible for specific business), clerk (registering accounts, distributing Lingshi pills, etc.). The basic condition for these three positions is to practice qi for four periods.
Similarly, if you reach the fourth stage of Qi training, you may not be able to hold the above positions. For example, Lu Qingming before, he was in the fourth phase of Qi training, and like Ren Jie and Luo Wan, he failed to hold an official and a half position. Not to mention the fourth phase of Qi training, that is, the cultivation of the fifth and sixth phases of Qi training, no one appreciates you, and you have to be an ordinary disciple of the outer sect just as obediently, and let the secretary and the clerk dictate you and breathe back and forth.
Old Man Huang only has the cultivation of the second phase of Qi training, but his family has a certain relationship with a certain high-level of the Ethereal Pavilion, so he is clear about the situation in the Ethereal Pavilion, and an ordinary outer disciple like Lu Qingming, Old Man Huang doesn't take him seriously at all.
Old Man Huang's two sons are in the Ethereal Pavilion. The eldest son, Huang Xu, is already a disciple of the fifth phase of the outer sect qi training, and as the head of the alchemy department, not to mention the existence of the secretary on an equal footing, at least he is also an official. The second son, Huang Ning, entered the Ethereal Pavilion last year and became a miscellaneous brother, and now he is in the third phase of Qi training, and he is one step away from the fourth phase of Qi training. If you change to other miscellaneous disciples, even if you enter the fourth stage of qi training, it will be difficult for you to enter the outer gate. But for Huang Ning, such a thing is not a problem at all. With his brother Huang Xu as his backer, Huang Ning wants to enter the outer door, isn't that a matter of being caught? It's just that little bit of cultivation.
Old Man Huang was clear about the situation in the Ethereal Pavilion, and the way he treated the four monks who came to recruit miscellaneous disciples this time was different.
After Xing Yanzi arrived, she went out to run errands. Old Man Huang arranged a single room for Ren Jie and Luo Wan as soon as possible, and ordered the servants at home to wait at any time without disturbing, and secretly, he also sent three spirit stones to each person. To Lu Qingming, Old Man Huang didn't say anything at all.
"Fairy Xing hasn't come back yet," Old Man Huang took a sip of tea, put it in his mouth and sipped it, and then replied.
"Senior Brother Ren and Senior Sister Luo are still practicing?" Lu Qingming didn't know that Old Man Huang deliberately snubbed him, but the monks outside had collected all the Lei Guangshi, and they had to count them and register them.
"Immortal Master Ren is out, Fairy Luo is in the room," Old Man Huang replied lightly.
"Trouble the Huang family master to arrange a room for counting the thunder stones sent by the monks. I'll go ask Senior Sister Shiluo," Lu Qingming's tone was also a little cold.
"It's easy to say, let's arrange it," Old Man Huang beckoned to the housekeeper next to him, "Did you hear that?" Immortal Master Lu wants to arrange a room. ”
"Master, there is no empty room, so you can only set up a table outside the door as soon as you enter," the butler replied, loud enough for Lu Qingming to hear clearly.
The corners of Lu Qingming's eyes twitched, and he was holding back his breath in his heart.
When Old Man Huang and Lu Qingming were talking, Du Chengfeng and the other monks had already walked in and stood at the entrance of the first entrance, waiting for the immortal master of the Ethereal Pavilion to arrange.
Lu Qingming came to Luo Wan's door, and gently knocked on the prohibition at the door, and Luo Wan's cold voice came from inside, "Who?" ”
"Senior Sister Luo, it's me. A monk has collected all the thunder stones and is coming over for inspection," Lu Qingming asked.
"There's been a thunderstorm outside?" Luo Wan was stunned for a moment, "When did you get down?" ”
"Yesterday," Lu Qingming didn't believe Luo Wan didn't know. With such a loud thunder and such a heavy rain, Luo Wan is not deaf or blind, so it is impossible not to know. People are playing a score.
After a long time inside, a white jade wrist stretched out, and a slender white hand pinched the end of a jade slip, "Senior Brother Ren has gone out, and this matter has to fall on Senior Brother Lu." After acceptance, engrave the name on this blank jade slip, it's hard work. ”
Lu Qingming had no choice but to take the jade slip, and the white hand retracted like lightning.
"What about the Thunder Spirit Stone?" Lu Qingming asked again.
"Put it in your storage bag, you can't put it down," Luo Wan's tone became obviously stiff.
"Yes," Lu Qingming lowered his head and responded.
