The first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty is the "day of Tianla" for the Daomen. It is recorded in the "Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" that "the first day of the first month is called Tianla, and the fifth day of May is called Dila", which is the day of "the length of the time limit for the five emperors to determine the spiritual energy of the people", and this day is also a festival for the Taoist gate to set up altars to celebrate.

Wuji Courtyard is no exception, set up an incense altar on the Sanqing Palace, worship the Sanqing Daozun, worship the Emperor of the Five Directions, and wish the coming year a smooth fortune. At the celebration ceremony, there was a small link, for the Taoist priest of the courtyard, this small link was just an inconspicuous little thing, but for Zhao Ran, it was a major event in his life.

Zhao Ran has been in Wuji Courtyard for more than eight months, and has participated in many dipped pujas held in the courtyard, such as the Sanqing Festival to celebrate the birthday of the Sanqing Daozun, the Sanyuan Festival to worship the heavens, the earth, and the water palace, etc., but in all the previous pujas, he could only stand under the steps outside the railing, and together with a group of fire workers and Taoists, he bowed to the ground and bowed from afar, and he couldn't even see what the puja looked like.

But this time it was different, he finally wore a formal robe embroidered with black edges, climbed to the high level of the Sanqing Palace, and took the ordination in the voice of Jiang Gaogong's singing.

This is a cowhide scroll a foot long, and when unfolded, there are several lines of small print on the scroll:

"Xuanyuan Guandu will be inspected. If there are parents, the parents should be guilty, and the abbot of the palace and the private teacher of the karma will be returned with the same crime. Today, the crossword 648 degree is given to the Taoist priest Zhao Zhiran, and the receipt of the certificate must be issued to the person who gave it. ”

The small characters in the ink script on the lower left "A name Zhao Zhiran is 18 years old, the son of Zhao Hong, Zhaozhuang, Shiquan County, Long'an Prefecture, Sichuan, in the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiajing, he entered the Wuji Courtyard and became a monk. The middle part of the printing "right to pay Taoist priest Zhao Zhiran to receive this".

The left half of the book is "On the first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiajing/Li Yunhe, Xuanyuan Guan Supervisor/Zhang Yunzhao, Supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace/Gao Gong Bai Tengming of Xizhenwu Palace/Song Zhicong of Xizhenwu Palace/Zhong Tenghong, Supervisor of Wuji Academy/Jiang Zhibiao of Wuji Academy/Zhang Zhihuan of Wuji Academy". The suffix is stamped with the purple seal of the Xuanyuan Guanjian Temple, and the purple seals of the West Zhenwu Palace and the Wuji Temple.

That's right, Zhao Ran will not be called Zhao Ran in the future, he has officially joined the Taoist sect, and he is a Taoist priest, and his name is "Zhao Zhiran". It is simple and single, but there are seven people named on it, starting from Xuanyuan Temple in Sichuan Province, down to Xizhenwu Palace in Long'an Prefecture, and then to Wuji Courtyard in Guyang County, all levels of supervision, high merit, and Dianzao are paid in turn, and Zhao Ran can be regarded as an official Taoist priest of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Ran - from today onwards is named Zhao Zhiran, holding Du Mu in his hand, the excitement in his heart is really indescribable. In the entire Wuji Courtyard, there are more than 100 fireworker monks, including the upper abbot, the prison court, the "three capitals", the eight deacons, the "five lords and eighteen heads", and the Taoist priests who recite scriptures, etc., there are only one hundred and sixty or seventy in total, and from then on, he is one in the third, and he is no longer the denominator, what a refreshing thing! At least the monthly silver has increased fivefold, reaching five taels!

However, there was another thing that surprised him, another Daotong was actually an acquaintance, that is, Zhu Meng, the concubine of the Sichuan Imperial Inspector who Zhao Ran had seen on the Beacon Mountain Villa Yaji a few months ago.

Zhao Ran still remembered that this prince was rejected for pursuing Yumo in Beacon Villa, but he didn't expect that in the next year, people would also enter the Dao Gate, and it was the kind that was directly accepted! Zhao Ran had already heard that one of the two places in Wuji Academy this year would be directly given to a certain disciple with cultivation roots, could it be that this prince also had a talent for cultivation?

Zhao Ran has struggled hard for more than half a year, and has made countless scheming, so he can't bear it, this prince has not done anything, he is a serious Taoist priest, and it seems that the future is much broader than his own! Which bone in your body do you say is good? Why don't I see it?

The puja was still going on, and the two of them couldn't talk well, but when they stood together, they naturally stared at each other. How does Zhao Ran look at it, how does he feel that this prince seems to have a lot of opinions about himself-look at the way people look at him, it is obvious that the person who came is not good. After a little pondering, Zhao Ran understood that this person probably regarded himself as a rival in love.

At the end of the fasting puja, the two of them each held a volume of the "Code of Conduct" and returned together. Why are they together? No way, because they are "the same year", they live in the same house.

Of course, the living conditions are much better today than they were when I was a fireworker. The small courtyard is still three rows of wings in the east, west and north, but each row of wings is opened up and extremely spacious, with three rooms on top of each other. Zhao Ran and Zhu Meng were divided into the east wing room to live, after entering the door is the guest hall, which is also used as a study, there are two bookcases on the left and right, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete.

On either side of the study are two bedrooms, one for one person, separated by a curtain and relatively private. In the bedroom, there is no longer a Chase bunk, but a serious carved elm bed!

In the guest hall, seeing Zhu Meng's cross-eyed eyes staring at him, Zhao Ran coughed dryly: "Uh...... Brothers and sisters......"

"Slow! Who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother, this must be clear!" Zhu Meng waved his hand and solemnly stopped Zhao Ran's words.

Zhao Ran smiled: "Naturally, the first to get started is the long......"

"Yes, the first to enter the middle is the longest, please Senior Brother Zhao take out the degree, let's see, who comes first and who comes last?"

Zhao Ran was speechless, the degrees of the two were awarded on the same day, and naturally it was written on the same day - "the first day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Jiajing", if you want to use this as a basis, it is really unclear.

"Senior brothers, senior brothers, I entered the Wuji Academy in April last year!"

"Otherwise, although Senior Brother Zhao entered the Wuji Courtyard in April last year, he couldn't be regarded as entering the Daomen, just hard labor in the courtyard. Oh, by the way, when I was three years old, I entered the Taoist Gate in Jingshou Palace, Chengdu Prefecture, how many years earlier than Senior Brother Zhao? Is there seventeen or eighteen years? In my opinion, since I started on the same day, I should be counted by my age--I was born in March of the seventh year of Zhengde, and I don't know how old Senior Brother Zhao is?"

When it comes to birthdays, Zhu Meng is more than three years older than Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran must not be able to compare, but he can't be convinced, so he sneered and diverted the topic. In fact, in the Daomen Shifang Jungle Temple, it doesn't matter who is the senior brother and who is the junior brother, this is not the descendant temple, pay attention to rigorous seniority, in the Shifang Jungle, the real important thing is the function.

There are many Tengzi generations, and even the old Taoists of the Yunzi generation, who have worked hard for decades and are still a Taoist child, and some astute Zhizi Taoist priests are in high positions at a young age, and they will be instructed by those senior Taoists, and the old Taoists are still respectfully obeyed, and no one will feel inappropriate.

The reason why the two quarreled over the title of senior brother and younger brother was purely willful. Zhao Ran didn't care about it, but the more Zhu Meng was like this, the more he had to fight, and the so-called people fought for a breath, this is the truth.

Naturally, there was no result in such a dispute, and when the next "Senior Brothers" and "Senior Brothers Zhao" came out of nowhere, they called out to themselves.

"Aren't the junior brothers from Chengdu Mansion? Why did you go to Wuji Courtyard to receive it? Is there a difficulty at the other end of Jingshou Palace?" It is said that Zhumeng is from Chengdu Mansion, and he should be taught in the various Taoist courtyards under the jurisdiction of Jingshou Palace, instead of going to the Wuji Courtyard under the jurisdiction of Xizhenwu Palace in Long'an Mansion, which is completely out of line.

"Senior Brother Zhao seems to be from Shiquan County, isn't it the same as being punished in Wuji Courtyard in Guyang County?"

Zhao Ranxin said that this Zhumeng is powerful, and his words are sharp, which is really difficult to deal with. couldn't help but expose the other party's old bottom at the moment: "Senior brothers, could it be that you are here for the Yumo Dao people?"

What he said was purely malicious speculation, but he didn't want to really get to the point, Zhumeng really became a Taoist priest for the sake of Yumo Dao. Huayun Pavilion, the hidden place where Yumo is located, is the temple of the descendants of Long'an Mansion, if Zhumeng wants to "follow the footsteps of Yumo", he must go to the Shifang Jungle under the West Zhenwu Palace to be punished, otherwise the descendants of the temple that will be moved in the future is the Kuixing Pavilion of Chengdu Mansion.

Seeing that Zhu Meng's face changed color, he randomly "hummed" and brushed his sleeves away.

Zhao Ran secretly said "It's cool", and Shi Shiran went back to his bedroom to study the "Precept Code" with it.
