Just after the Lantern Festival, the list of abbots of the jungle of the ten directions from various newspapers was sent to Lushan, and the convenient periodicals such as "Dragon and Tiger Mountain", "Junshan Notes", "Bagua", "Neidan", "Lingbao Xinshuo", "Maoshan", "Inside and Outside the Imperial City" and other periodicals immediately reported.

According to statistics, there are 318 abbots in this round of county courts, and there are 46 abbots in the palace, because Xuantan Palace is a palace with a height of half a grid, so Zhao Zhiran's name is in the headlines again, and a note was made after the name: The original abbot of Tianhe Palace was held by Master Maoshan Deyou Guanlu.

When Sima Yunqing saw this report in Yuanfu Wanning Pavilion, he finally nodded: "One for the other, Chen Tianshi is honest and will not be deceived by me." ”

Such a large-scale replacement of the abbot of the ten jungles was also the first major event in the 29th year of Jiajing, which attracted the attention of the world, and it is said that even the countries of Buddhism are talking about it.

The second major event of the first month is not a major Taoist policy, but its influence in the cultivation world and the people is also not inferior. From west to east, Daming held the "Junshan Cup" Western Region Cultivation Ball Competition, the "Dragon Tiger Mountain Cup" Central Region Cultivation Ball Competition, and the "Imperial City Cup" Eastern Region Competition.

"Junshan Notes" also preemptively published an interview with the champions of the three groups of last year's winter competition, which aroused strong responses. **Xing Tenghe, the leader of the division group from Zhaozhen Pavilion, said that he is waiting for the appearance of the challenger and presenting a wonderful game for everyone together; Du Xingyan from Lingxu Pavilion said that he has strong confidence in his success in defending the game, and asked the readers of his column to rest assured that he will definitely coordinate his energy and time and play and write without mistakes; Zhang Tengming, the leader of the Huangguan Group, from Longhu Mountain, declared that the disciples of Longhu Mountain are the best no matter what they do, so luck is just an excuse for the jealousy of the loser.

The auditions of the three major regions will be held for three days, and 31 players from each group will be determined to go to the capital to participate in the top 100 competition held on the 22nd of the first month, and the final top 10 players will be produced, and the top 10 players will officially enter the top 10 competition starting on the 26th of the first month, and the schedule is extremely tight.

This half month is a day that the entire cultivation world is highly concerned about, and when the hundred players in the three major regions are produced, Zhao Ran saw many acquaintances in the list, and there was even Luo Zhiqing's name among them.

While watching Luo Zhiqing gobble up a big meal, Zhao Ran asked curiously: "Why did Senior Brother remember to participate in the Cultivation Ball Competition? I haven't seen Senior Brother fight before......

Luo Zhiqing said: "No one played with me, so I had to play." ”

Hu Xiaojiu, who was accompanying him, said: "Coincidentally, my eldest brother Niu had better fight with others, why don't I invite him to fight with Luo Daochang?"

Yuyang rolled his eyes: "Forget it, last time Luo Daochang accompanied Jiang to Hongze Lake, and he fought with Niu Da at that time......"

Duck Xiaoqi asked, "How is it? Who wins and who loses?"

Luo Zhiqing said with a little frustration: "Niu Da won." ”

Hu Xiaojiu looked proud: "I'll just say, Brother Niu is very powerful, how did he win?" Why don't I invite him to Baoyue Villa again and instruct Luo Dao to make a few moves. ”

Yuyang sneered: "Luo Daochang said that Niu Da survived three moves and counted him as a winner, Niu Da won, Luo Dao Chang slapped him into the ground until the fourth sword, leaving only a small tail exposed on the ground, and Ben Xian dragged his little tail out." ”

Luo Zhiqing raised his neck to recall for a moment, and said seriously: "Niu Da is still very powerful." With that, he stuffed another chicken leg into his mouth.

Duck Xiaoqi and Fox Xiaojiu looked at each other and lost their words at the same time.

Luo Zhizhen then participated in the top 100 knockout rounds, and Zhao Ran also watched the whole game on the spot, watching him enter the top 10 step by step.

In the process of watching the game, Zhao Ran has also been pondering the fifth Dao technique he obtained after receiving it.

His promotion has always been along two paths, and being promoted in the jungle of the Ten Directions will be able to unlock the exercises of the Merit Sutra. He is now equivalent to the first level of the provincial view of the three capitals, and the exercises have been unlocked to the Great Refiner. According to his own estimates, there will be no need to worry about this problem for decades. If it is more extreme, I am afraid that it will be worry-free for a hundred years, because the longevity of the Great Refiner can reach one hundred and forty years old.

The other path is job promotion, and the unlock is the Nine Heavens Xuanlong Great Forbidden Technique. When he entered the Taoist realm, he got the aura of reducing wisdom, the Yushi realm got the flicker**, the Huangguan realm was the luck index, and the Jindan mage was merit and Qingyun. The relationship between the various layers of the Nine Heavens Xuanlong Great Forbidden Technique is not from low to high, there is no distinction between strong and weak, and the power will continue to increase with the improvement of cultivation. In Zhao Ran's opinion, it is more like completing a puzzle, according to the literal interpretation of the name of the exercise, maybe he will eventually obtain the nine Dao techniques and complete a pair of nine palace diagrams?

A few days ago in Qixia Mountain, Chen Tianshi personally took action, consumed 720,000 faith points and a batch of spiritual materials in Sanmao Pavilion, and completed the ritual for Zhao Ran, and after returning to Baoyue Villa, he was pondering Taoism.

The fifth technique may be called a tendentious choice or a subjective active choice.

When Zhao Ran is unable to make a decision, he can seek verification from Taoism, and Taoism will give a set of relative options such as "may" and "cannot", "left" and "right", "up" and "down", "advance" and "retreat", and so on, for Zhao Ran to choose. So how should he choose? It's simple, whatever you want!

Whatever he chooses, it will be the best of the two, and the best means that the choice made is better than the one that is abandoned, or it may not be worse.

Zhao Ran felt that this Taoist technique was a bit mysterious, quite idealistic, and in some places it felt more mysterious than the divination of plum blossoms and the influence of the hexagram, which was quite a bit of a word.

But it sounds very mysterious, and the actual use doesn't feel very great. First of all, you can only choose the matters that are directly related to you, and you can't be indirectly related. For example, in the past two days, he tried to choose Luo Zhiqing's game and take the initiative to influence the result of the game, but he didn't succeed, because Daoshu didn't give him a chance to choose at all, and Daoshu didn't have any feedback on his intention to choose.

Secondly, this choice must also meet one condition, that is, when you have to choose, Dao will provide an opportunity to choose. For example, when he tried to eat to see if he could choose to "eat" or "not eat", Daoshu also ignored him, but when he chose "pull" or "not pull", the option was generated in his mind......

At that time, Zhao Ran wanted to try the option of "not pulling", but after careful consideration, he still chose "pull", and then he went to the obedient squatting pit.

In the next few days, Zhao Ran also tried many other methods, such as once when he walked to the entrance of Wuyi Alley, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should go in. This feeling of hesitation is more like a sudden arrival of chance, but whenever this kind of opportunity appears, it is an opportunity to verify the Dao technique, so he opened the choice, among the two options, he "dotted Doudou" for a while, and finally his finger stayed on the option of "not entering", so he continued to wander out along the Qinhuai River.

But until he walked out of the bustling Qinhuai River street, he didn't feel what the advantage of this option was, could it be that he avoided the embarrassment of stepping on a banana peel once?

After a period of exploration, he was able to sum up the experience of using Dao Technique, that is, if there is no such cognition as "hesitation" in his heart, there is no need to use Dao Technique, because most of the time there is no option, that is to say, the Dao Technique initiation fails; when there is a hesitant situation, the success rate of using Dao Technique is nearly 100%, but after the choice, there is no difference between the advantages and disadvantages.

At the same time, along with the use of Dao techniques, the consumption of mana is not low, which is also something to consider.

To sum up, Zhao Ran felt that this Dao technique might indeed be useful, such as when making major decisions, but how many times a year can this kind of choice be made? Most people may only be like that a few times in their lives. As for the usual, it's very chicken. But no matter what, the nine-piece Dao puzzle filled in one more, which made him even more interested in the next piece of the puzzle.
