In mid-November, a reply from the Nishizhenmu Palace finally arrived at Wujiyuan, and the three candidates for appointment were reported to Wujiyuan. According to this, Wuji Yuan officially planned to take office, and after Song Zhiyuan of the Supervision Yuan used the seal, Zhao Zhixing was appointed as the guest of the guest hall, Jia Zhixun was the welcome guest of the house, and Zhao Zhiran was the master of the square hall, which made up the eight deacons of the Wuji Academy.

It is said that he himself will come to take up his post on the first day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Jiajing in a little more than a month, and he will not mention it for the time being. Jia Zhixun got the position of welcoming guests in the number room, which was satisfied, and invited Zhao Ran to set up a banquet in the best restaurant in Guyang County to celebrate.

Zhao Ran was not easy to refuse, and he and Jia Zhixun issued an invitation together, not only invited colleagues in the hospital, but also all the officials and furniture below the county magistrate of Guyang County from the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant were all present, but the old county commander did not go to the banquet because he was unwell, but he also prepared a congratulatory gift.

After stepping on the steps of the eight deacons, today's Zhao Ran is no longer the same, in the eyes of everyone, he is already a well-known big man in Guyang County, although it is not to the point of stomping his feet and shaking in all directions, but it is easy to want to spoil anyone's good deeds, therefore, in the banquet, I really enjoyed a handful of sycophants and stammers, and received a lot of congratulatory gifts.

Zhao Ran didn't seem to be how tall he was, he accepted all the things that should be collected, and if he flattered, the left ear went into the right ear more, and the promise of the empty head was sent out a big basket, in short, hello, I am good, everyone. This is the rule of this world, and there is no need to have too much burden on your conscience.

In the meantime, Jin County Wei specially came over to have two glasses of wine with Zhao Ran, and asked again about the progress of his second brother Jin Jiu's punishment. Zhao Ran was full of promises and said that he would do his best. This is not a lie, it is impossible for Jin County Lieutenant to put the treasure on him alone, the key object of tackling the problem must be on Song Zhiyuan, and when the time comes, he will fan the flames and add some strength to the side.

A lively banquet is over, and the others have their own follow-up arrangements. Zhao Ran refused, not because he was clean and self-conscious, but because he couldn't wait to go back to the mountain to open the golden finger.

Returning to his own room, he beat Guan Er and a few other people who accompanied him away, Zhao Ran closed the door tightly, untied his belt by the oil lamp at the bedside, and pulled out the green rope from the middle. Then he unfolded his work paperwork and leaned next to the green rope.

Zhao Ran held his breath and observed the green rope intently. It wasn't until the moment that the green rope began to tremble, and his heart finally couldn't help but start beating wildly.

A little white light flew up from the paperwork, and in an instant it disappeared into the green rope!

Zhao Ran fainted happily.

Zhao Ran had a dream, he dreamed that the green rope gradually rose from the bed, emitting a round and transparent fluorescence from the beginning to the end, and suddenly burrowed into his body from the top of his head, along the skull, neck, and chest, and sank down to the sea of qi. Then the pot hung in the sea of air, gradually shrinking into an extremely bright green dot. Then. This green dot suddenly began to expand outward, filling the void of the entire Qi Sea in an instant, until it spread to the edge of the Qi Sea, as if the Qi Sea was wrapped with a layer of green jade inner shell.

The entire Qi Sea Heaven and Earth began to rotate slowly, and the trajectory of the rotation seemed to be traceless, but Zhao Ran knew it in his dream. It is a Buddhist swastika seal. Just as he was inexplicable, a stick jumped in the sea of qi, and finally jumped to the middle of the sea of qi, and then settled. The sticks began to grow at both ends, reaching upwards into the depths of the void at the top. Plunging deep into the "underground" of the sea of qi, endless, I don't know where to go.

This was not the end, the green light covering the inner shell of the Qi Sea just now quickly extended out along the various meridians on the edge of the Qi Sea, lighting up the three hundred and sixty-five acupuncture points around the body one by one, and then the Qi Sea, meridians, and acupuncture points in Zhao Ran's body began to tremble at the same time. The soreness and numbness all over his body invaded the depths of Zhao Ran's consciousness, and the pain was so painful that he wanted to open his mouth and scream, but he couldn't exhale a single sound, and he was so aggrieved that he felt as if he was about to drown in the water.

Zhao Ran fell into a coma again in a dream.

When Zhao Ran woke up, it was already early afternoon, because he no longer served as the Jingtang Jing Master, and he didn't have to go to the Jingtang to be on duty, so no one bothered him.

The scene in the dream is vivid, it doesn't seem to be a dream? Zhao Ran got up from the bed, and just sat up, suddenly his head buzzed, and countless information poured into his consciousness. This process was extremely short, Zhao Ran was only slightly stunned, and the indoctrination of information stopped, and Zhao Ran knew a lot of things in an instant.

What is instilled into consciousness is a book of Taoist practice exercises, called "The Sutra of Innate Merit", the content is incomplete, only the "General Tips" and "Chapter 1". Zhao Ran sat at the head of the bed for a long time, and then laughed, if it weren't for this exercise that made him feel "born to know", and understood that what he said was true, he couldn't help but wonder if someone was joking with him.

There are many ways of cultivation in the world, such as Dao Sect Cultivation and Buddhism Cultivation, but no matter what, they all have to be in harmony with the spiritual power between heaven and earth. The way of the Daomen through guò is to absorb the "qi" in the spiritual power to transform it into true qi, and the way of the Buddhist door to contemplate is in harmony with the "nature" or "light" in the spiritual power and transform into the "wish power".

Either way, it needs to be supported by the power of incense, which is used by the Taoist Gate to eliminate cause and effect and alleviate the calamity, and by the Buddhist Gate, which uses the power of the incense fire to forge a passage to the Western Elysium. This is the fundamental reason why the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism compete for believers.

However, the "Innate Merit Sutra" is neither acceptable nor compatible, but cultivates merit.

What is merit? General recipe cloud: "Merit is merit, virtue is good deeds, sincerity is justice, and goodness is virtue." "Then how should merit be cultivated? The general formula says that merit and faith are connected, and the non-material and intangible are not visible, and the great road is not seen in the spirit. In other words, this thing is invisible, not in the aura, and similar to the belief difference, not something that can be obtained by swallowing and contemplating.

How can we gain merit? It is also clearly stated in the general formula, work hard, and gain recognition. What do you do? Of course, it's what is good for people. To put it bluntly, Zhao Ranyan said that now that he is in the Daomen, then he must be recognized in two aspects, one is the recognition of the Daomen and the other is the recognition of him by the believers.

The "Innate Merit Sutra" also divides the cultivation level into four major steps, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness, and refining void and merging the way, but the method of cultivation is completely different, focusing on "behavior" cultivation rather than "meditation" cultivation, which is also the difference between merit and "qi". In short, Zhao Ran wants to "absorb" merit - well, the word "absorption" is actually not accurate, so he has to keep doing things, do something that can be recognized by "up and down", and the merit power will automatically "absorb" into his body like Qi, and he doesn't need to meditate and cultivate at all.

After the merit power enters the body, and then transforms it with the cultivation method of the "Innate Merit Sutra", you can obtain mana, strengthen the body, practice the Dharma with it, and finally use it to live forever and fly to the heavenly realm. The "Chapter 1" that Zhao Ran poured into his mind talked about how to transform merit power at the level of refining refinement.

Zhao Ran understood, of course, he was also speechless, what kind of cultivation method is this?

Speechless to speechless, in the case of the failure of the orthodox again, this is the only way for him to pursue cultivation at present.

After getting out of bed, Zhao Ran began to think, according to the "Innate Merit Sutra", should he find something to do now?

Pushing open the door, I just saw Guan Er standing respectfully outside the door, followed by the inspection of several square halls. Guan Er saw Zhao Ran coming out, and hurriedly said, "Master Fang, I and a few brothers came over to help your old man move." ”

Zhao Ran has now changed from Lord Jing to Lord Fang, and his rank has been promoted to deacon, and he can already move to the backyard, Guan Er is here to help move. He was not hypocritical, he let Guan Er and a few people enter the house and toss around, and five or six strong men came out with a burden, as if the package was very heavy, and Zhao Ran was amused for a while.

Shi Shiran came to the backyard of the eight deacon's houses, Zhao Ran entered the third small courtyard on the left first, this is the courtyard of the square hall and the scripture hall, Zhao Ran has been here many times before, this time he is going to be a neighbor with Gao Gong Liu Zhiguang.

Jingtang House was on the left, Liu Zhiguang was not there, Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to open the door of his own house on the right, and several strong men rushed in, carefully put down the package, and then began to sweep it seriously.

Zhao Ran called Guan Er aside and asked expectantly, "Second Brother Guan, have you encountered any trouble recently?" Do you need me to help you solve it?"
