Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Yu Zhiyuan got his wish and was promoted to the deacon of the living room, one of the eight major deacon rooms. The guest hall deacon is called Zhike, which is a very important role in the Taoist monastery. In addition to welcoming guests and sending them off, he is also responsible for liaison and communication with the various palaces and wards of the Taoist sect. At the same time, because he often deals with the secular world, Zhike often represents the face of a Taoist temple in the hearts of believers. Every word he speaks implies the opinions and opinions of the Taoist temple. Therefore, the selection of Zhike by the Taoist temple is very important. Very strict.
Among the eight major deacons of the Taoist sect, the most promising positions for promotion to the prison are those of being a high performer in the sutra hall, knowing guests in the living room, and patrolling the dormitories. This is a customary practice that has been passed down for many years. In Taoist temples, palaces, and courtyards all over the world, at least More than 70% of the prisons are from Zhike, Gaogong and Xunzhao.
Yu Zhiyuan¡¯s promotion to Zhike means that this person has a bright future. Of course, at least within the foreseeable few years, Yu Zhiyuan will not be able to become a supervisor because he is too young. Thirty-two years old can be said to be in the prime of life, but from another perspective, compared with the 38-year-old Jiang Gaogong and the 42-year-old Song Xunzhao, he appears to be "less qualified", not to mention that he has just been transferred and is not in the extreme. With a big background and a strong backend, it is absolutely extremely difficult to make continuous jumps.
With the honorable Zhao Ran, he specially wrote a couplet "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly" and gave it to Yu Zhiyuan as a congratulatory gift. This way of congratulations is Zhao Ran's favorite. It doesn't cost any money, and it's more elegant than yellow and white common things like gold and silver. Why not do it?
Yu Zhiyuan was also very happy to receive the gift. He took the couplet and played with it for a long time before his eyes reluctantly took it back and turned to Zhao Ran.
"Senior Brother Yu, it's not too much to call you a guest now!" Zhao Ran congratulated with a playful smile. This flattery did not show any trace, but it was quite useful, and it also vaguely revealed the past between the two. A piece of love is a magic weapon-level congratulatory message that Zhao Ran experienced in the life before time travel, and the effect is excellent.
Yu Zhiyuan smiled faintly, recalling the scenes when Zhao Ran first entered Wuji Courtyard and met him, and said with emotion: "Two years have passed in a flash, and the years have passed by like a fleeting moment."
"Yes, Junior Brother, I am still very discerning. I have already foreseen Senior Brother's joy today Haha, Senior Brother, where have you been in the past few months? I heard that you went to the Xizhenwu Palace in your house to do business. What's the matter? So long? Junior brother, I have come to look for him several times, but I can't see him."
Yu Zhiyuan said: "Accepting the order of Xizhenwu Palace, I went to Baima Mountain to practice in front of the army."
Zhao Ran asked curiously: "What's going on there now? I only heard that the war is stalemate and there are many casualties" Then he looked around Yu Zhiyuan and asked: "Brother Zhike, are you not injured?"
Yu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "You can easily get hurt wherever you are. When it comes to fighting, there are soldiers going to fight with Buddhism. There are monks here. I just do some fasting rituals and answer some of the soldiers' doubts. Formation I've been there a few times before, but I didn't have to go into battle. Besides, Taoist priests like us don't know how to wield swords and guns, right?"
The topic opened, and Yu Zhiyuan sank into his memories: "The battlefield was so tragic. In the more than three months since I was there, there were two big battles and dozens of small battles. There was no time when there were not corpses everywhere On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month , the army robbed the sloping valley of Baima Mountain, fought fiercely for a day and night, and finally captured it. More than 3,000 people from Xiaohewei, Yulong Qianhu Station, and Baima Qianhu Station were filled in. In the end, less than 700 people survived, and thousands of households died. Three people were killed, and more than 20 people from hundreds of households died. The snow in the valley was dyed blood red, and the shaking made people's eyes hurt"
" I have a close friend who is the general bannerman of Ye Xueguan. He was ordered to be transferred to the front of the army. He beheaded five levels in three months and made many meritorious deeds. The Dusi issued a military order and promoted him to a hundred households. He told me He said that he had made an agreement with Shangfeng that after he was promoted to a hundred households, he could go back to Long'an Mansion. He planned to go back on the ninth day of February to marry his childhood sweetheart cousin. On the eighth day of February, he escorted the grain team to Duxikou , when he came back, he was just a cold corpse"
"There was a very young archer, less than sixteen years old, as short as a monkey. He joined the army to save food for his family so that his two younger brothers could eat more He would go to camp every day before Everyone came to ask me about morality. He asked me where I would go after I died in the battle. I told him that after death, the gods enter the five realms. Those who have committed the most evil crimes may go to the Nili Hell and suffer endless suffering, or they may turn into sage and suffer from hunger. Those who are greedy for life, fearful of death, timid and incompetent will enter the spirit and turn into animals; only those who move forward bravely can re-enter the human realm and become the leader of all spirits; if their merits reach the top, they can ascend to the thirty-three heavens. , holding the divine position in heaven. He said that God did not dare to ask for anything, he only wanted to be able to be a human being and continue to serve his mother The day before I left Baima Mountain, I heard that he had died. He had killed two Xia people and was killed. After the Xia people surrounded them, they jumped off the cliff"
Speaking of the emotional point, Yu Zhiyuan burst into tears, and Zhao Ran could also hear a feeling of depression in his heart.?Relief.
After a long time, Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked: "Where are the monks in the hidden place? Have they ever taken action? I heard that the monks took action, shaking the world and weeping ghosts and gods, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked"
Yu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "How can it be so mysterious? If the mountain collapsed and the earth shattered, there would be no need to fight this battle. The monks' spells are very powerful, but they are not to this extent. Fighting in front of the formation, thousands of troops and horses, The arrows are like rain. No matter how powerful you are, you can only fight against ten or a hundred people. Hundreds of spears are poking at you, and everyone has to avoid them. Thousands of arrows are raining down, and the monks cannot direct their spears. "Moreover, monks who seek immortality cherish their lives. If it is not urgent, no one is willing to fight in front of the battle array. Otherwise, if they are surrounded by a large army, there is only one word of death."
Zhao Ran recalled the experience of catching monsters with Taoist Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo in Wutang that day, and confirmed it with his experience. He suddenly realized that the secret Taoist had been poisoned by too many novels before. It seems that the monks are not omnipotent. Indeed, with Taoist Master Da Zhuo's Taoist practice as a yellow scarf warrior, or Taoist Xiao Zhuo's ability to throw fire talismans like throwing paper, there is no problem in defeating ten of them, or even defeating hundreds of enemies, but if you really want to defeat thousands of troops, Among horses, there really isn¡¯t enough to see. As for someone as smart as Chu Yangcheng, he now understands that he is rare even among monks - he was really lucky that day. It's a pity that he can't worship under the gate of Chu Yangcheng. It's a real regret in his life. !
I heard Yu Zhiyuan say again: "Although the monks do not go into battle easily, but when they really do it, they are invincible. Our Hong Zhike died at the hands of the Buddhist monks, and his whole body was transformed by the Buddhist demon light, even ashes None of them were found. The clothes and clothes buried during the ritual were all taken from Hong Zhike's room in the courtyard"
Zhao Ran had very little impression of the original Deacon Jia and had only met him a few times. At this moment, he didn't know how to answer the question. After all, Yu Zhiyuan got the job of knowing guests because Deacon Jia died in Baima Mountain. It was difficult to control the right words, so he remained silent at the moment.
Yu Zhiyuan had no intention of getting entangled in this issue, but said to Zhao Ran: "In the past, I only thought that your handwriting was good, Junior Brother Zhao, but I didn't know that you were also good at reading scriptures. Have you fallen behind in your homework these few months since I left?"
Zhao Ran replied with a smile: "But that's not the case. I have read all the scriptures in the scripture library, and I have gone down the mountain to experience many rituals. I am very familiar with them. I have never failed to get a first place in the monthly exam."
Yu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's good! By the way, I heard that you were rewarded by Huayun Pavilion because of your service at the Taoist Gate?"
Zhao Ran explained the situation of that day to Yu Zhiyuan in detail, and Yu Zhiyuan sighed: "It's a pity that you don't have the bones, otherwise you wouldn't have to hang out in the world. You should practice Taoism to realize immortality. How free it would be!" As long as you are more proficient in the formation plate given by Huayun Pavilion, you can use it to save your life at critical moments However, you should not get too caught up in it. After all, this path is not feasible for us. It consumes too much energy and delays our progress. Make progress in Taoism. Remember not to aim too high. Since you and I are in the jungles of the ten directions, don't expect too much about things that are not destined to be obtained. Use your mind on schoolwork and rituals, and work hard for Taoism. What you have achieved is worthy of the short time of this life"
As he spoke, Yu Zhiyuan suddenly shook his head and fell silent.
Zhao Ran didn¡¯t know what was going on with his senior brother, so he had no choice but to agree. After a while, Yu Zhiyuan seemed to cheer up again, and said with a smile: "I went to the Dianzhuofang to check the award document awarded to you by the Huayun Hall. This is a wonderful thing! I have been promoted to Zhike, and now there is still a missing door in the living room. Head Although there are many people competing for it, but you have this thing, I also have a way to say it. I just wonder if you are willing to come to the living room to help me. If you are willing, I will find a suitable opportunity and go to the prison to report it. explain?"
When Zhao Ran heard this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
Thanks to brother yangzhigang for the reward.
