Chapter 13 Hundred Schools
The architectural style of the society is very simple, some of the feelings of the period before the immortal Qin, the princes fought for hegemony, the main body of the building of the society is mainly bamboo, wood and bluestone, with pine and green bamboo, it has a charm of drinking alone outside the world, even if it is near the downtown area, it is not affected by the worldly fireworks at all.
Walking to the front gate of the Baijia Society, Li Haocheng looked at the two bluestone lions squatting in front of the gate with shining eyes and extraordinary might, his eyes lit up, and then he sighed in his heart and sighed: "It's a pity for these two stone lions." ”
Yang Zhicheng, who was walking in front, heard this, and looked up to Li Haocheng again, he also heard a scholar in the society inadvertently mention it, and only then did he know the extraordinary stone lion in front of the society.
These two stone lions were originally made by a famous stone carver with great effort, so the stone lion is naturally pregnant with a spirituality, placed in front and back of the door of the society, and it is the luck of the classmates, and gradually gives birth to tranquility, suppression, protection, exorcism and so on to guard the door.
It can be said that these two stone lions have been psychic, and they are only one step away from being a god, but they are also Xiao He and Xiao He, these two stone lions are lucky with the help of the Hundred Schools Society, but they are also limited by the culture of the Hundred Schools, and they are always stuck in this step, and it is difficult to advance.
"Would you like to ask this Taoist chief to show his certificate?" Yang Zhicheng exchanged views with the two doormen guarding the gate, and one of them stepped forward.
Li Haocheng took out the original letter and his own Taoist disc and handed it forward, the doorman stretched out his hands to take it, looked at the information recorded in the Taoist disc, and then looked at the fire paint and law seal that had been torn off the seal of the letter, that is, he handed the letter back, bowed slightly, and said: "Daoist Li please, President Chen has already said that you can come directly to the main hall." ”
Yang Zhicheng also smiled and said: "When the Taoist first came, I'm afraid I can't find a place, so how about I lead the way?"
Li Haocheng bowed slightly, arched his hand, and said, "I'm tired." ”
After speaking, Li Haocheng followed Yang Zhicheng into the Hundred Schools Society, all the way forward, to the main hall of the Hundred Schools, there is a pool in front of the hall, the pool water is clear, the pebbles of different colors are scattered at the bottom of the pool, the pool is full of all kinds of lotus flowers, or white as jade, or red as fire, or green as green, each plant is slim and elegant, tender stamen condensation beads, full of dripping, the breeze blows, and there are bursts of dark fragrance, refreshing people's hearts!
Li Haocheng glanced at it, sighed, continued to move forward, came to the front of the main hall, looked at the closed door, and looked at Yang Zhicheng, who seemed to be a little surprised, sneered in his heart, did not show it on his face, and bowed his hand and said: "Yuquan view Li Haocheng, ask to see President Chen." ”
The door of the main hall opened suddenly, and a voice came from inside: "Come in!"
When Li Haocheng heard this, he walked into it, and saw a middle-aged Confucian student wearing a high crown and a Confucian robe standing in the main hall.
This person is the president of the Jiuping County Baijia Society, a bachelor of the Confucian Haoran Realm, Chen Jiudao.
"I've seen the president!" Although he didn't like it in his heart, Li Haocheng didn't dare to slack off on his face, bowed his hands deeply, and held a junior salute.
Whether it is identity or status, Li Hao's CD is lower than Chen Jiudao, not to mention that the Confucianism and Taoism Haoran Realm are converted to the Immortal Dao, which is the ghost fairyland, at least one realm higher than Li Haocheng, and Chen Jiudao used to cultivate Haoran Wenqi, one of the thirteen Confucian classics "Rites", and the most important rules on weekdays, Li Haocheng naturally did not dare to be careless.
"You go down first!" Chen Jiudao said to Yang Zhicheng, then turned his head and smiled at Li Haocheng, let him get up, as if he recognized, and said with some emotion: "Brother Du Han is lucky, and he still accepts you as a good apprentice before leaving, which is really enviable?"
"The president has an overreputation. Li Haocheng saw Chen Jiudao talking about his own master, his heart suddenly bulged, and he lowered his attitude, Chen Jiudao didn't care when he saw this, and asked casually: "You came to register this time, can you prepare to be sealed?"
Li Haocheng was slightly stunned, he looked at Chen Jiudao with some hesitation!
Although the earth star has the saying of the same award, the kind of conferral is closer to the process of giving the conferrer to the conferred and confirming the position in the god and fairy realm to issue the job certificate that passes through the divine realm, and the symbolic meaning is far greater than the practical meaning in the end of the Dharma era.
The seal of Jiuzhou is different, once the seal is received, it means that you have joined the court and become a member of the imperial court.
Although the earth star has the saying that it is good to practice within the public gate, but this statement is not flourishing in Jiuzhou, especially after the power of all the Dao forces combined to suppress the pre-Qin Emperor Dynasty to the separation and disintegration ten thousand years ago, the conflict between humanity and immortals, gods, Buddhas and demons who pursue the way of heaven is becoming more and more obvious, even if the Shinto Heavenly Court is later established to establish a buffer space for the two, the two are not as harmonious as in ancient times.
Therefore, except for pure humane monks and humane deities, the rest of the immortals, Buddhas, demons, and even righteous gods and earthly spirits will be suppressed in places where humanity is strong.
Even if he accepts the humane seal, the humane dragon qi still instinctively rejects many extraordinary powers, and the attitude towards the extraordinary powers is either suppressed or devoured.
This also leads to the fact that once the monk is sealed, the foundation will be eroded by the dragon qi, and he may not be able to see anything in a short time, but after a long time, it will become a sad existence that life and death are limited by people.
This kind of ending is an intolerable thing for anyone who pursues immortal leisure, and Li Haocheng naturally does not have this mind.
But since Chen Jiudao proposed it, Li Haocheng couldn't refuse openly, he could only use silence as a statement.
Although Chen Jiudao, who had been prepared, didn't like it in his heart, he didn't say anything, his face was straight, and he began to follow the procedure: "One side of the view of the master is different from the free cultivation, can you read the Taoist scriptures by heart?
After asking these two questions, Chen Jiudao didn't wait for Li Haocheng to reply, waved his hand, and looked like a send-off: "If you feel that you can watch the master from either side, go to the Dao Hall to be assessed!"
According to the rules, a monk like Li Haocheng who owns a Dao Disc and inherits the Descendant Temple can not conduct a new Dao Hall assessment, but Chen Jiudao's request for him to do so cannot be said to be wrong, it will only make people feel that he is more strict.
Faced with this egg-picking posture, Li Haocheng could only suppress the helplessness in his heart, bowed slightly, and turned around and walked towards the Dao Hall.
The Dao Hall assessment is a special system that originated in the Tang Dynasty.
It started 10,000 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty had just been established, because in the process of founding the country, the Immortal Dao made great efforts, which made the Tang Dynasty very influenced by the Immortal Dao in the early days of its establishment, and that time was also the period when humanity was most disgusted by many monks who pursued the Heavenly Dao, so the Immortal Dao forces that supported the Tang Dynasty were to cooperate and force the Tang Dynasty to promulgate the Dao Hall assessment in the name of the Humane Dynasty.
At that time, the content of the Dao Hall assessment was very simple, that is, some conventional classic assessments and some common Zhai Jiao rituals, to put it bluntly, let the Dao Dynasty issue Dao Discs to immortal monks in such a name, so as to alleviate the rejection of the Immortal Dao by the humane dragon qi.
But now, the Tang Dynasty has reached a peak, although it has not yet had the ability to turn its face with the immortal road, but it has also begun to fight for its own rights, and the content of the assessment of this hall has also changed, from two assessments to three, and a new interpretation of the Taoist scriptures that costs more energy has been added.
But on the whole, the Dao Hall assessment is still a fairly simple thing.
Easily passed the first two assessments, Li Haocheng took half of the Taoist scriptures from the examiners, found a place to sit down, looked through them carefully, and turned several pages in a row, he just knew that the Taoist Hall deliberately embarrassed himself this time.
The reading method of Jiuzhou Taoist Sutra is different from that of the earth star, the more profound and subtle the Taoist Sutra, the higher the requirements for the interpreter, among which the Taoist rhyme needs its own qi to cooperate with the operation, in order to gradually analyze, it can be said that the Taoist temple assessment and interpretation of the Taoist Sutra is not only to test the knowledge and strength of the comer, but also a test of the talent and understanding of the comer.
The fragment of the "One Qi Qingjing Sutra" of the Qingxu faction? They are also willing to do it. In that case, then you're welcome. Li Haocheng smiled coldly in his heart, closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, a little bright light appeared in the depths of the sea of knowledge, and a simple jade talisman loomed in the light......
