Zhao Ran still agreed to the request of the butcher and the rich man Shen, how can these two qualifications not be assessed, but they are not picky in terms of character, and they are old friends who know the roots.

Of course, he would not let the butcher and the rich man Shen become his nephews, so he went to see his teacher Jiang Tenghe.

Jiang Tenghe continued to look up to the sky and gaze at the stars on the stargazing platform, and Zhao Liniang had already moved into the small world of Louguan, and was painting by the railing at the moment.

Zhao Ran didn't take out the nonsense of the two elder brothers, but just told the teacher that these two wanted to join the Zongsheng Pavilion, which belonged to the loose cultivation of knowing the roots, and there was no sect and family protection, so he felt that he could consider it.

Jiang Tenghe was quite familiar with them, and he was okay with this, but he said: "With their qualifications, if they want to practice the Water Stone Pill Method, I'm afraid it will still be very difficult......

This is sincerely considering the butcher and the rich man Shen, otherwise, with the current shortage of people in the Zongsheng Pavilion, Jiang Tenghe directly waved his hand to agree, and then accepted it at will, as for whether he can cultivate it, he doesn't need to worry about it for the time being.

Louguan's secret technique, the Water Stone Dan Method, will only be taught after arriving at Jindan, so the disciples below Jindan still have to rely on themselves, which fully embodies the principle of the master leading the door and practicing in the individual. Of course, Wei Zhizhen has a set of skills, this is a recognized fact, maybe after the two of them join the Zongsheng Pavilion, they can comprehend and break through?

Zhao Liniang suddenly said: "I know these two guys, they came to help cook at the double cultivation ceremony, so I'll just take it." But there is one thing, you make it clear to them, I don't care how you live outside, when you enter the Zongsheng Hall, you must be clean, well, the word that Zhiran said is...... Hygiene!"

So these two were taken into the mountain by Zhao Ran, worshiped under Zhao Liniang's door, at the apprenticeship ceremony, Zhao Liniang's first rule is to pay attention to hygiene, including: at least every three days must take a bath, no public foot picking and nose picking, it is strictly forbidden to put food in her arms and under her body...... Once you find any of the above behaviors, see them once and hit them once!

Seeing these two kowtowing to Zhao Liniang with bitter faces, Zhao Ran couldn't hold it back, turned around and walked out of the Four Temples, laughing with the outside.

At the end of March, Zhao Ran waited in the Tianhe Palace when Zhang Yuanji burned the third fire, which opened the edict that the abbot of the Dao Palace in the state capital should be appointed by a monk. This is the first time five years after the issuance of the "Pavilion Monk Performing the Ten Directions of the Jungle Edict", and it is the second major step in this policy.

There are currently 158 Taoist palaces in the Ming Dynasty, after five years of deliberate suppression, with the efforts of the former superintendent Zhang Yangming and abbot Shen Yunjing, 36 of them have not been appointed as abbots, and the abbot is vacant, which is the "legacy" they left behind.

It is also based on this rich inheritance that in the edict of the general view, the implementation plan for the abbot of the palace to be appointed by a monk is divided into three steps: before June this year, the 36 Taoist palaces vacant in the abbot will be filled first, and the second step will be opened next year, and the second step will be completed next year, and the appointment of the second batch of 36 Taoist palace abbots will be completed, which also means that there will be 36 Taoist palace abbots will face transfer, transfer, By the end of the thirtieth year of Jiajing, the third step was completed, and all 158 Taoist palaces were appointed by monks, achieving the second full coverage.

For the qualifications of the abbot of the palace, the edict also reiterated that it must be a monk above the golden pill, and if the prefecture hall is unable to select a monk to be the abbot of the palace, the general view will arrange for other monks to come and take over.

At the same time, the edict stipulated that every Jindan monk who performed his post must sit for at least two years, and that he could not prevaricate unless he really needed to retreat. The General Auditorium will receive reports from all over the world, and once such phenomena are discovered, the position of abbot of the province will also be filled by the monks selected by the Governor.

The term of office of the abbot has also been made clear again, a term of office is five years, and the term of office shall not exceed three consecutive terms.

Zhao Ran has been in charge of the Tianhe Palace for two years, and today, two years later, with the issuance of the edict of the General Pavilion, he has naturally become a monk "selected" by the Zongsheng Pavilion to serve as the abbot. The abbot of Tianhe Palace belongs to the level of the provincial view of the three capitals, and it is the high road directly managed by the General View of the Academy, and the public recommendation and appointment need to be voted on by the General View of the Three Capitals, and he was originally worried about whether there would be any problems at this level over there, but now with this edict, no problem is a problem. This is the appointment and dismissal of personnel under a major situation, and to catch up with such an opportunity, the great difficulties are not difficulties, and they can be promoted smoothly.

A series of intensive texts and processes followed, and a total of four Taoist palaces in Sichuan Province needed to complete the appointment by the end of May, otherwise the general would withdraw from the post and "parachute" a monk to take up the post.

This is also where Zhang Yuanji's power to serve as the abbot of the lower view with the realm of refining the void lies, and where can Zhang Yangming, the former vulgar Taoist, come up with such a strict measure, even if it is formulated, it cannot be implemented, and no cultivation pavilion will really care about the "strict order" of a vulgar abbot.

But this time it's different, if a monk is not elected to take over as the abbot of the Dao Palace of this mansion, Zhang Yuanji really has the ability to take back this position!

As a result, Songfan, Yongan, Tongchuan, and Boryeong immediately began to get busy.

The Pine Domain is stress-free, but the other three state capitals are not so easy. It is already not easy to let the yellow-crowned monk go to the Shifang Jungle to perform his duties, whether it is Huayun Pavilion, Qingyun Pavilion, or Hengfu Pavilion, it is already quite difficult to make up for the abbot of the county court of this prefecture, and even many of those yellow-crowned monks are a little reluctant I don't want to, this is not easy to let Jindan monk go to be the abbot, I am afraid that it is not small.

Huayun Pavilion has two uncles, Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, to support the scene, and they are willing to take turns to serve in each other, so they can deal with it for four years first. Moreover, the two uncles Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo are also very familiar with mundane affairs, and as soon as they explain the latest policies of the general view, they know how to choose.

There is also Pei Zhongze in Qingyun Pavilion who is willing to make a two-year transition in the realm of ** division, and wait for two years to see if Pei Zhongxi, the children of the Pei family, can break through the knot.

However, the Hengfu Pavilion was a little troublesome, and as a last resort, he simply selected a Jin Dan from the scattered cultivation and promised a lot of benefits, and he served as the supervisor of the Baoning Mansion, which was also allowed by the general view. This is something that can't be helped, Baoning Mansion definitely doesn't want the abbot of the Yifu on its own territory to be parachuted in from the general view, so it has to come up with this method to be comprehensive.

In mid-April, the four abbot candidates reported to Xuanyuanguan, Xuanyuanguan reported to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to obtain consent, and then summarized into a document, submitted to Jian Jingguan, Jian Jingguan quickly made a reply, and the official document of approval was sent back to Sichuan in late April.

As a result, Sichuan Province has staged four public promotion ceremonies within a month, and the Tianhe Palace is relatively well prepared, taking the lead in the public promotion on May 1, and Zhao Zhiran is promoted to the abbot of the Tianhe Palace.

Followed by the Huayun Pavilion, Zhuo Tengyun was publicly elected as the abbot of the West Zhenwu Palace on May 12. Then there was Pei Zhongze, who was elected as the abbot of Ziyang Palace in Tongchuan Prefecture on May 18. It was only on the last day of May 30 that the loose cultivator Ye Xing's mother-in-law was publicly elected as the abbot of Yuyang Palace in Boryeong Mansion, which was actually a female cultivator.

At this point, the Sifu Daoist Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, and the Jade Emperor Pavilion was even more relieved.
