Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dao Priest

Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has implemented a four-level administrative system of provinces, prefectures and counties, and each level of administration has a Taoist Yamen.

The main officials of the Dao Gong Division Yamen are the chief and deputy seal officials, purple cloth envoys, and Tsing Yi envoys, in addition, there are also a number of Dao Lingshu under the Dao Urn Division.

The rank of the officials of each level of the Dao Gong Division is different.

The official of the Provincial Highway Jar Division is a three-grade official rank and a three-grade Taoist.

The official of the official seal of the Fudao Urn Division is the fifth product.

The state highway is the official of the seal from the five products.

The official seal of the county road is the seventh product.

In addition, in the capital of Beijing, there is a general office of the Taoist Division, and the official seal is a product.

The Dao Gong Division is the most important yamen of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the link between divine power and royal power.

The people who can be officials in the Dao Gong Division are generally princes and nobles, and almost all of them are selected from foreign surnames.

The official name of the official of the Dao Zheng Si of Emei County is Zhu Jianming, and he is the fifth grandson of Emperor Taizu.

When Gu Changqing saw Zhu Jianming for the first time, he was shocked, there was such a good-looking man in this world!

Zhu Jianming is thirty years old this year, tall and slightly thin, and his face is unforgettable at a glance.

This is a face that is even more beautiful than a woman.

Zhu Jianming sat in the hall, looked at Gu Changqing below and beckoned, "I heard that your spirit talisman can make Xi'er suspend pain?"

Gu Changqing took out the Heavenly Dao Qing Talisman from his satchel and said, "This is it." ”

An envoy in Tsing Yi came over and took the spirit talisman and handed it to Zhu Jianming.

Zhu Jianming took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

Master Li, who was sitting on the left, said: "Brother Zhu, you don't need to look at it, I showed it to the official of the Zhengyin Department of the Dao Dao Department the day before yesterday, and even he couldn't see anything." ”

Gu Changqing was a little surprised when he heard this, this Lord Li actually knew the official of the Zhengyin of the Fudao Sect.

You must know that the official of the Zhengyin of the Fudao Sect is a five-grade Taoist priest, and since this Lord Li can get acquainted with him, I am afraid that his identity is extraordinary.

Zhu Jianming nodded and said: "The spell of this talisman is very complicated, and it is not much different from the talismans made by everyone I saw in the Guozijian, but the mana on the talisman seems to be a little weak. ”

He looked at Gu Changqing again and said, "You haven't been punished yet, have you?"

Gu Changqing replied: "I have already received a false urn. ”

"Who taught you this charm?"

"When I was nine years old, I met a white-haired old man in Mount Emei, who drew this charm in the mountains with the sky as paper, the sword as the pen, and the clouds as the ink, and I learned it on the side. ”

This set of rhetoric Gu Changqing has long been prepared.

How could a country boy who didn't even have a real spell be such a complicated spell?

Gu Changqing blamed this on a fictional character, so that it could be explained.

You must know that there is an Emei, one of the three ancestral gardens of Taoism, on Mount Emei, and it is possible to meet such a fairy-like figure on Mount Emei.

Zhu Jianming deliberately glanced at him a few more times, then nodded and said, "According to the Taoism of the Master of Emei Lingzhi, he may have this ability." ”

Gu Changqing snickered in his heart, Zhu Jianming had already believed his words, and associated his fictional character with the Lingzhi Master.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say that he wasn't a Lingzhi Master, he wished that this pot would be carried by the Lingzhi Master!

He still understands the truth that the husband is innocent and guilty.

Master Li said at this time: "Brother Zhu saw this talisman, can you draw it like this?"

Zhu Jianming shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Li, although you are not a Taoist, you should also know that the spells on the spirit runes have special techniques, and drawing a scoop according to the gourd can only be a piece of waste paper." ”

Master Li looked at Gu Changqing and said, "But didn't he watch it from the side?"

"He?" Zhu Jianming showed an expression of expectation, "I'm afraid he didn't tell the truth, if he didn't explain the charm to the Venerable Master himself, even if he read it ten thousand times, he wouldn't have been able to learn it." ”

Gu Changqing hurriedly lowered his head.

Although the spells of the spirit runes are drawn, if you do not know how to do it, you will never be able to draw the samadhi.

This is common sense for monks.

The reason why Gu Changqing went to copy this Heavenly Dao Qing Talisman was completely idle and had nothing to do, who knew that he really succeeded in copying it.

It was a bonus.

Zhu Jianming raised his eyebrows, and said: "You just received a fake ring, or are you only from the Nine Rank Daoist, according to reason, you shouldn't be able to draw this talisman, right?"

Gu Changqing's body stiffened when he heard this, and then calmed down, and said respectfully: "I don't know about this matter." ”

Zhu Jianming smiled when he heard this: "The Venerable Master of Wisdom is also interesting, I'm afraid that in the world, except for the Venerable Master, only you can draw it!"

"Okay, I've seen this talisman, Brother Li can take him away. ”

Master Li stood up and said, "I don't know how long I won't see you again." ”

"If I have leisure, I will go to Nanjing Yingtian to visit, Brother Li cherishes it a lot. ”

Gu Changqing followed Master Li and walked out of the lobby, and suddenly Zhu Jianming shouted, "What's your name?"

"In the lower ancient evergreen. ”

Gu Changqing hurriedly turned around.

Zhu Jianming put his hands behind his back and said, "Do you want to participate in the assessment of the Dao Gong Division in October?"

"Naturally. ”

"Then good luck. ”

Coming out of the Dao Gong Division, Gu Changqing got into the carriage again and headed out of the city.

Gu Changqing and Master Li were in the same car, Lord Li was closing his eyes and recuperating all the way, Gu Changqing was a little apprehensive in his heart, he just heard Zhu Jianming say, this Lord Li is going to respond to the sky, do you want to bring yourself over?

He didn't want to leave Yingtian just because he sent a spirit rune.

Ying Tian is thousands of miles away, and it will take at least two months to come and go, and if there is any delay in the middle, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the assessment of the Dao Gong Division in October.

Moreover, he still has to earn enough registration fees for the Dao Gong Division assessment in more than two months.

Along the way, Gu Changqing's heart was up and down, restless.

But fortunately, the carriage stopped after half an hour.

Such a distance should still be in the territory of Emei County.

Coming up from the carriage, a Taoist temple appeared in front of Gu Changqing.

There is a red lacquered wooden plaque on the gate of the tall and majestic Taoist temple, which reads: Chengtianju.

Gu Changqing looked at the name and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"Go in, my father is waiting for you inside. ”

Gu Changqing followed Master Li into the Taoist temple, and there was a faint fragrance surrounding the temple, which made people feel refreshed.

Along the way, Gu Changqing saw many men and women wearing black robes, all of them looking calm, as if there was no one around, as if they were nothing.

Gu Changqing looked at them one by one and found that they all had powerful mana fluctuations on their bodies, and the degree was actually similar to those purple-clothed envoys and green-clothed envoys that Dao Zhengsi had seen.

Are these Taoist priests all nine or eight grades?

At the entrance of the main hall, Gu Changqing saw a bald Taoist priest, sitting on the right side of the main hall, and there was a red lotus mark on his eyebrows.

The mana fluctuations on this bald Taoist priest are actually the same as those on Zhu Jianming, the official of the Dao Jar Division of Emei County.

Is he a seven-rank Taoist?

Gu Changqing couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

At this time, a bell rang in the hall, and Gu Changqing looked up, only to see a red shadow flying out of the hall, continuing to rush into the sky, turning into a dazzling phoenix.

The phoenix hovered in the air, chirped, and disappeared into the clouds.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

In the main hall, a deep voice sounded.

Gu Changqing followed Master Li in, and there were three people in the main hall.

In the center is a white-haired old man, on the left is the old man he saw by the river that day, and on the right is the girl.
