Chapter 41: The Daolu Division

Zhao Ran's communication is mainly in the upper level, and he is not very familiar with the low-level monks and scattered cultivators of the various pavilions on the lower level, but Pei Zhongze has a wide range of contacts in this regard, and he has a lot of face. In Changshou, Xudu, Wushan, Huya and other places, Pei Zhongze can call friends and gather a group of people, enjoy the beautiful scenery during the day, sing and drink at night, it is really a fairy-like day.

Thanks to the majesty of the senior brother, the reputation written by the second senior brother, and the bonus of the miracle of praying for snow on the New Year, Zhao Ran, the little junior brother of Louguan, has also been warmly sought after by these monks of the same age, which makes him very embarrassed, constantly modest and cautious, and strives not to be arrogant or impatient.

After entering Jiangxi, Pei Zhongze's entrainment was no longer on the list, so Zhao Ran continued to take the top.

First went to Gesoap Mountain to call Rong Niang down, played in Linjiang Mansion for two days, and then the three of them went forward together and went to Raozhou. Rong Niang wanted to send Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze to the capital, Zhao Ran pretended to say that she was afraid that she would be tired, so she asked her not to send Yunyun, but Pei Zhongze rolled his eyes and said two words of hypocrisy.

When I arrived at Longhu Mountain, I found out the nine girls again, let her spend money to settle the bill, and played around Raozhou for two days, and then added a nine girls to the team. She is now the abbot of the Dao Palace in Raozhou Mansion, and Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran are also monks who have entered the ** hall this year.

At the end of June, the nearly month-long trip came to an end, and the four of them sailed down the river and finally arrived in the capital.

At this point, Rong Niang reluctantly took out the Yunhao Lily, prepared to return, and when she left, she took out a talisman and handed it to Zhao Ran: "This talisman is called Yujing Tongtian Talisman, put it on your body, don't fight with others easily, your fighting ability is not as good as the senior brother and the third senior brother...... In case there is no way, cast this talisman, no matter what the situation, you can escape twenty or thirty miles away in an instant, and the non-Hedao great monk can't catch up, take the flower. ”

The Yujing Tongtian Talisman is a seventh-order talisman, which is certainly not as good as the Illusory Illusion True Cave Heavenly Talisman used by Duanmu Chunming in Western Xia back then, but among all the life-saving talismans in the Daomen, it is considered to be first-class, and its preciousness is no less than that of the eighth-order talisman.

The Illusory Illusion True Cave Heavenly Rune is a ninth-order rune, which is generally invisible, and in the Zhengyi rune, the recognized top runes are all eighth-order runes, as well as special seventh-order runes such as the Yujing Tongtian rune and the Dayin Xisheng rune. The so-called special is a rare symbol that is not recorded in the Zhengyi Talisman. There are not many people who can refine, and the exchange price between Dao Sects is extremely expensive.

The Huang Ting Zongzhen Thunder Talisman that Zhao Ran obtained from his master, as well as the three rootless and flowerless talismans obtained from Tsing Yi, are all recorded in the Zhengyi Talisman, although they are all high-level talismans above the sixth order, but they are not "top-level".

What Zhao Ran didn't know was that he himself had encountered someone who used the Jade Crystal Tongtian Talisman to escape in person, but he hadn't heard of this kind of talisman and couldn't tell the difference.

But just listening to its usage, Zhao Ran was very surprised, such a talisman is like the big sound of the senior brother, it is a rare treasure, extremely precious, but Rong Niang just took it out casually, there is no thousand instructions, there are no ten thousand instructions, just a "take it to the flower".

Looking at the cloud mist lily that was swishing away, Zhao Ran was stunned for a long time, until the ninth girl urged, and then turned around and entered the treasure gate.

Jubaomen is a waterway into Beijing, from which it enters, is the prosperous Qinhuai River. Cross the Wende Bridge on the right to lead to the Imperial City.

The three of them walked through the streets, all the way to the north, and when they passed a Dao Palace, the Nine Girls pointed here and said, "This is Chaotian Palace." ”

Zhao Ran came to the capital seven years ago, but he was in a hurry and didn't have time to visit the world's largest city, so naturally he hadn't seen Chaotian Palace. At this time, I saw it for the first time, and I secretly praised it, it is worthy of being the emperor's family temple, the head of the three palaces, and I don't know how many heavy courtyards and temples there are in this huge system.

The great refiner Zhu Xianjian, the refiner Lantian Yu, the ** master Wang Shouyu, the mages Fang Zheng and Fang Qing, etc., were all monks in this Chaotian Palace.

Continue to the north along the east wall of Chaotian Palace, cross the Lotus Bridge, the right side is the Guozijian, and then go forward, you can see a hill, this hill is the famous Jilong Mountain, the mountain is not big, but it is quite famous, it is the location of the Daolu Division, the Jiming Temple.

Before the great controversy of Buddhism, the original name of the Jiming Temple is Jiming Temple, there are more than 1,000 monks, the temple is grand and solemn, the golden brilliance, in the period of Emperor Wu of Liang thousands of years ago, it was known as the head of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty. After the Daomen seized the Central Plains, the temple was changed to the Taoist temple, and the name of "Chicken Song" was used, and I don't know if there was a Taoist master who humiliated the Buddha.

Subsequently, this Taoist temple became the official seat of the Daolu Division.

However, the Daolu Division is a very embarrassing yamen, nominally belonging to the Ministry of Rites, with the power to canonize the title of Daomen High Repair, issue degrees, and take charge of sermons, but with Jian Lone's view in front, the Daolu Division is destined to accept the jurisdiction of Jian Lonely, and has become a supernumerary deacon's room in the capital, and its function has also changed to the function of the gold seal room, the file filing room, and the court liaison room.

There is not much to do in the Daolu Division, and the Celestial Master Chen Shandao, who is in charge of the Daolu Division, also practices and disposes of affairs in the Yuanfu Palace of the Purple Mountain on a daily basis, so there is also a large vacant building.

Jian Lonely Temple wanted to run a ** hall, Zhang Yuanji discussed with Chen Shandao, divided more than half of the courtyard of the Jiming Temple, hung up a sign, and the ** hall became a Taoist institution managed by the Daolu Division.

The Daolu Division has different levels of Taoist positions, such as the main seal and the vice seal, the left and the right, the left and the right, the left to the spirit, the right to the spirit, the left Xuanyi, the right Xuanyi, and so on, as well as a number of miscellaneous servants. These people nominally received food and money from the Ministry of Rites, but in fact they accepted the jurisdiction of Chen Shandao, the "secretary of the Daolu", that is, the jurisdiction of the Daomen.

The original officials of the Daolu Division were all layman, and some of them were simply directly appointed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, such a composition of personnel would definitely not work, and it was absolutely impossible to restrain so many monks who came to "study".

As for who it is, the ninth girl shook her head: "Don't look at me, although I have participated in these edicts in the early stage, but when it comes to specific candidates, I don't know, it was my fifth uncle and Abbot Shen who agreed on it, and it was not my turn to intervene." ”

Seeing that Zhao Ran kept looking at himself with slanted eyes, he added: "Actually, these edicts were also learned from you." ”

Zhao Ran asked, "When did you learn from me?"

The ninth girl said: "When you married Jindan, forgot? Let's talk while playing, many of them were what you had in mind at the time, I just took it and changed it, and then suggested that my fifth uncle just suggest it." Also, you set up an abbot short-term training class in Dajun Mountain, which was also borrowed by my fifth uncle. ”
