Zhao Ran was upstairs in Jingyang, discussing the Lent Jiao in Wenchangguan in Qixia Mountain with the nine girls after five days. Because this is a symbolic event for the completion of the Dharma Lecture Hall, the ritual proposed by the Daolu Division is "Shenwen Fa Concert Section", which means to report the results of learning.

In the jungle of the Ten Directions, the main priest is generally served by Gao Gong, and the high-level scientific ceremony will also be served by the capital, the prison or the abbot. Now that everyone has entered the Ten Directions Jungle as abbots, they will definitely be in charge of the high-level ceremonies held in various places in the future.

As for the ceremony held in Wenchangguan this time, they made a small-scale public recommendation and elected the main director.

These monks and abbots have been studying in the Dharma Hall for nearly half a year, and they have initially established the concept of the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Ten Directions Jungle, so the two only two deputy provincial Dao Palace abbots, Zhao Ran and Nine Girls, received far more votes than the rest. The relationship between these two is good, and they are even more lazy to vote again to hurt their harmony, so they simply discussed it and decided to join hands with the main division, Zhao Ran is responsible for the first half, and the ninth girl is responsible for the second half.

Zhao Ran checked the list in his hand: "Objects to worship the gods...... Incense burners, wax stands, vases, incense sticks, fruit bowls, and net bowls...... It's all right. ”

The ninth girl was also looking at another list: "I'll take a look at the offerings prepared...... The rockery carved by agarwood is soil, the pure gold flower, the dragon incense butter lamp is the fire, the rootless water, and the spiritual fruit is wood, the five elements are complete, and the virtue of the gods. ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Where is it produced?"

The ninth girl replied: "Ge Soashan, there should be no problem." ”

"You'll have to look at it two days in advance. ”

"Okay, let's go to Wenchangguan in two days. ”

The ninth girl picked up another list: "The magic instruments used are bells, hairpins, wooden fish, bells, drums, emperor bells, and dragon horns." ”

"Why is there no Guijian and Fayin. ”

"Wenchangguan rarely uses these two objects, and they say that it is okay to omit these two things. ”

Zhao Ran shook his head: "That's because they haven't done the Manifestation Ceremony, and all the magic weapons don't need to go through the motions, but is it useful? ”

The ninth girl said: "I'm afraid it's too much." ”

Zhao Ran said: "What are you afraid of, this is not something that you can throw away once you run out, you can use it in every Fa Lecture Hall in the future, you have to buy it sooner or later, I will go and tell Li Deputy Yin." ”

The ninth girl took out a pen and paper and said, "It's time to sort out the list of offices." The master of the altar is you and me, who do you think it should be?"

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "It is recommended to choose from those who have a high cultivation realm." ”

The ninth girl nodded and put down the pen: "Pei Zhongze." The servants, the incense, and the lamps...... There are also fasting, tico, confessions...... Basai ......"

After the warm exchange between the two of them, the nine girls stretched their waists, and suddenly stretched the curves of the front and back curves, and said a little tiredly: "I'm so tired......"

In the past few months in Jingyang Building, the nine girls have shown a normal demeanor and a bit of informality, and Zhao Ran has also developed the habit of scanning and appreciating generously, and has seen the nine girls from head to toe.

After appreciating it, Zhao Ran said: "This list, it is still recommended to recommend it after the end of tomorrow's big class, no need to vote, vote by show of hands." We are all classmates in the study, and we can't just say a word. ”

"You know they're going to pass it, they don't care, they might even think you're too troublesome. ”

"Let them vote, they may think we are causing trouble and not let them vote, but it is very likely that someone will jump out and say that we have a word. ”

"Makes sense......"

While chatting, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman: "Does Senior Brother Zhao have time? ”

Zhao Ran was very surprised, since he left the contact information of the flying talisman with him in Xu Zhenren's Baoyue Villa a few months ago, the two have not been in touch, but he didn't expect to suddenly say that he was going to visit him today, could it be that there was something?

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good, where is Senior Brother Wei?

"It's okay, I want to talk to you about some important matters, and it's inconvenient for people to talk about it, I don't know if I can meet you outside Yifengmen?"

After asking the location, Zhao Ran got up and said to the ninth girl: "I ......"

"Something's out?"

"What, you sort out these things first, and we'll discuss it when I come back, I'm sorry. ”

"You're so busy, it's hard to catch you for a day, and you're going to go again. ”

"Each other, the Nine Girls can at least catch me, I've never caught the Nine Girls. ”

"Poor mouth, it's okay, let's go quickly. The Nine Girls waved her hand impatiently and buried her head in the pile of old papers.

Yifeng Gate is in the northwest corner of the capital, out of the Jilong Mountain, through the bell tower, around the Qingliang Mountain to the north, along the city wall root to the end, is the Yifeng Gate. Yifeng Gate is stuck in the middle of Lion Rock and Hydrangea Mountain, and the two mountains are col and take advantage of the location, and there are dragons and phoenixes in the shape of auspiciousness.

The terrain here is dangerous, and it is the place where the five military camps are garrisoned. Zhao Ran walked through the Yifeng Gate, looked at the situation on the city wall, inside and outside the gate, and couldn't help shaking his head, he was a Taoist priest who had served in the border area for many years, and he could see the negligence and laxity of the garrison at a glance.

But think about it again, this place is the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, if it is really hit by foreign enemies, then the Ming Dynasty is almost over, so whether the defenders here are elite or not, in fact, has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Out of the Yifeng Gate, it is the Jinghai Temple, which is the branch temple of the Shangyuan County Taoist Institute under the jurisdiction of the Xuantan Palace of Yingtianfu, don't look at it as a Taoist temple, but it is really not small, because it is located outside the city wall, the southwest foot of the Lion Mountain occupies a large area, which is slightly larger than the Xuantan Palace. Although it is "outside the city", but in the 600 years of peace in the Ming Dynasty, it is still very lively, and it is not inferior to half a point in the city.

Zhao Ran came to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain according to the location given by Wei Chaozong, knocked on the door, and the small door opened in response.

The layout in the courtyard is very simple, and I don't know how Wei Chaozong chose such a location, since they are going to make friends with each other, shouldn't they find a scenic spot, find a restaurant, order a table of good food, open a jar of wine, and hug a beautiful woman to meet?

Well, this is purely Zhao Ran's conjecture, there is nothing here, and there is no winding path leading to a secluded place, just enter the small courtyard, three wings.

In addition to Wei Chaozong, there was also a female cultivator standing next to her, Zhao Ran couldn't tell Fang Ling from her appearance, but from her intuition, this female cultivator seemed to be about the same as herself, not thirty-five or sixteen, at least above thirty.

Zhao Ran observed the words, looked at the intimate appearance of the two, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Senior Brother Wei, I've seen my sister-in-law." ”

The female cultivator rolled her eyes at Zhao Ran, and Wei Chaozong was happy: "This is my third sister, you can call it Sanniang." ”
