Chapter 36 Exemplary Rites
Zhang Yuanji, the new abbot of Jian Lonely Temple, held a Zhengdan Lent Jiao in Lushan in the first month, and Taoist priests above the deacon level of the jungle in Jiangxi gathered in Lushan and saw a very shocking scene:
Mr. Kuangyu, the mountain god, has fluttering sleeves and is more than nine feet tall, standing on the top of the five old peaks, looking down on all beings. Zhang Yuanji then led thousands of Taoist priests to worship on the ground, praying for peace and happiness in the Taoist gate.
The effect of this hand is extremely strong, and Zhao Ran had to sigh after hearing about it, the refining of Longhu Mountain is really extraordinary, reflecting the vast scope of Zhang Yuanji's spell casting control and the condensation of the manifestation of the divine shadow, and I am afraid that ordinary refining void will not be able to do it.
If he enters the refining void, can he also cast spells at the foot of the mountain and show signs on the top of the mountain? Zhao Ran shook his head, it is difficult......
The appearance of Mr. Kuang Yu on Lushan and the heavy snow outside Songzhou City, these two Jiao Zhai Jiao were listed by various periodicals as the "model scientific ceremony" in the Zhengdan Daomen Jiao in the 28th year of Jiajing, in this regard, Zhao Ran could only wipe the cold sweat, muster up courage, and gritted his teeth to move forward.
As the saying goes, the abbot took office with three fires, and Zhang Yuanji's first fire burned out his prestige, morale, and the prestige of the cultivators, making the jungle of the ten directions return to the heart.
Immediately after the end of the first month, Zhang Yuanji's second fire was burned, and Jian Jingguan issued an edict, urging all provinces to continue to step up the replacement of the abbot of the county court, and clearly prohibiting the use of the time difference to promote the abbot, the superior Taoist temple to occupy the vacant abbot position in the name of temporary post, and the old and sick abbot refused to resign.
The county courts that have the above three phenomena will not be soft once they are verified, and the relevant parties will be strictly held accountable. The edict demanded that before the 30th year of Jiajing, and in the eighth year after the promulgation of the governance policy, the full coverage of the first-level abbot of Daomen County by the monks should be completely realized.
Zhao Ran was in favor of this and supported it, including the Ministry of Domain, there were more than 1,400 county courts in the Ming Dynasty, and until today, five years after the edict was issued, the number of monks serving as abbots of the Taoist Academy was just over 300, not even a quarter.
No province has achieved full coverage, and even in Sichuan, which has been the most active in implementing this policy, only six prefectures, namely Songfan, Longan, Baoning, Tongchuan, Lizhou, and Wumeng, have achieved the five-year goal of all the abbots and monks under their jurisdiction.
So don't look at Zhao Ran's dislike for Zhang Yuanji, he has a deep grudge against him, but he still deeply welcomes him for such a drastic promotion of the monk's appointment as abbot. It's just that while he is welcome, he is also a little confused, and he is not sure about his inner motives.
But I don't understand it, the people who do things only ask about the results, not about the heart, if Zhang Yuanji can really achieve the goal in this edict he issued, Zhao Ran is not afraid to give him the greatest support.
In the thirtieth year of Jiajing, all the counties of the Ming Dynasty were appointed by monks, regardless of the good and bad for the time being, Zhao Ran believed that the total credibility value could be expected to reach 1.5 billion or even exceed 1.5 billion.
In this way, in the eighteenth or even fifteenth year, those great monks who have been promoted to the first of the path, and are now at the bottom of the ranking, don't they all have the hope of success?
After thinking about it, maybe this is also the result of the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Yunyi's behind-the-scenes supervision?
In February, the good news came one after another, first came the news that Wudang Chi Songzi successfully came out of the customs and was promoted to the seventy-second Daomen as a cultivator of refining voids, for this reason, Tsing Yi specially rushed back to Wudang to participate in the ceremony of the Red Songzi Taoist Commander to confer the real person, Wei Zhizhen and Zhao Ran went to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Zongsheng Pavilion, and it was needless to say that it was lively.
Zhao Ran made a cameo appearance as a reporter on the spot, and sent the report on the ceremony of the red pine nut to Dajun Mountain, so that "Junshan Notes" could publish congratulatory messages and articles.
Immediately after that, the Grand Master Lin Zhijiao of the Question Sect successfully exited the customs, gave birth to a baby with divine consciousness, and broke through the realm refiner. This is the third cultivator above the level of the Sect Saint Pavilion, making up for the gap in the Dajun Mountain Refiner Realm.
Zhao Ran and the others rushed back to the cave of Dajun Mountain and watched Lin Zhijiao's refiner ceremony on the spot. The Zongsheng Hall spent 3.6 million credibility quotas for this, and used up more than half of the remaining credibility quotas. Fortunately, Senior Brother should not have any signs of breaking through the realm cultivator within three years, otherwise the Zongsheng Pavilion would really be overstretched.
At the same time, after careful preparation in the early stage, Luo Zhiqing began to officially retreat and impact the Grand Master, which made the Zongsheng Pavilion even more happy.
Lin Zhijiao, who had entered the realm of refiners, had a radiant appearance, although he was over sixty years old, he seemed to be younger than when he was in the realm of the great mage, which was also due to the practice of asking the love sect.
As a result, the Zongsheng Hall officially established the Elder Hall, which was newly built on the edge of Junshan Lake, and was composed of Jiang Tenghe, Zhao Liniang, and Lin Zhijiao. But the Elder Hall of the Zongsheng Pavilion was different from other places, and it was Wei Zhizhen and Zhao Ran who really took care of affairs, especially Zhao Ran.
The true identity of the two senior brothers is more like an elder without a name, the senior brother is the general elder, and Zhao Ran is the "executive deputy elder and head of the external liaison department", and there is also a mountain gate chief Toad Palace fairy, but this rabbit is also going to officially retreat, and now she is using the last month or two to consider her successor - parentheses, recommended candidates, parentheses.
Song Yuqiao, the master of the Asking Love Sect, sighed to Zhao Ran, Dajun Cave is really a good place, since the sect moved here, the Kun Dao of the Asking Love Sect has made breakthroughs in cultivation one after another, just five years of work, Lin Zhijiao broke through the realm of refiners, she herself and her senior sister Zheng Yutong have married Dan, Cao Yuzhu and Zhuang Yuqi also have some understanding, ready to ask for leave from Tianhe Palace, and return to the mountain to impact the Yellow Crown Realm.
In addition to sighing, Song Yuqiao was also very excited to guess, maybe this is the rumored luck? Ask Qingzong's luck has arrived? When he said this, he looked at Zhao Ran, who was smiling and silent, and added: "Well, Louguan's luck has also arrived." ”
As soon as Lin Zhijiao's refiner conferral ceremony ended, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman from Pei Zhongze: "What are you busy with?
Zhao Ran hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Pei is out of the customs?"
Pei Zhongze replied: "Dansheng Divine Sense, I have entrusted my life, and three days later, I will be appointed as an archmage in Qingyun Mountain, so I am free? ”
Zhao Ran was not very busy this year, and the position of the capital manager was relatively much more leisurely, and the Daomen walk was vacated to Qu Fenghe, and the drought relief headquarters was disbanded, so he immediately agreed.
Zhao Ran climbed the mountain gate of Qingyun Mountain again, and Qingyun Pavilion did his best to receive him, many acquaintances in Qingyun Mountain rushed to accompany him, and Pei Zhongxi kept circling around him all day long.
Pei Zhongze was promoted to archmage at the age of forty-five, which was in stark contrast to the embarrassment he encountered when he was in Bayan Kala Mountain.
Pei Zhongze said: "I declared it when you came, don't give congratulatory gifts, but you also gave such a heavy gift, which really makes the foolish brother unhappy." ”
Zhao Ran smiled: "It's all a suitable daily object, it's just a matter of communication." ”
During the banquet, Pei Zhongze sighed: "More than ten years ago, I still remember being trapped in the Buddhist temple, and I was lucky to meet Zhiran, and after that, the road was smooth, from Yushi and Huangguan, Huangguan and Master, Master and Great Master, I thought about it carefully, and Zhiran can be called a noble person on my cultivation road, if not, where is my today." ”
