In mid-November, the reply letter from Xi Zhenwu Palace finally arrived at Wuji Academy, approving the three job candidates reported by Wuji Academy. According to this, Wujiyuan Dianzhuofang formally drafted the official appointment document. After the seal of Song Zhiyuan, the supervising court, Zhao Zhixing was appointed as the guest of the guest hall, Jia Zhisun as the greeter of the number room, and Zhao Zhiran as the head of the square hall, completing the eight deacons of Wujiyuan. .
No one in Wuji Academy knows who Zhao Zhixing is. It is said that he himself will come to take up his post in more than a month on the first day of the first lunar month of the 15th year of Jiajing, so let¡¯s not mention it for now. Jia Zhisun was satisfied with being the receptionist in the room and invited Zhao Ran to hold a banquet at the best restaurant in Guyang County to celebrate.
Zhao Ran couldn't refuse, so he and Jia Zhisun sent out an invitation. Not only the comrades in the courtyard were invited, but also all Guyang County officials from the county magistrate, chief registrar, and county lieutenant were present. Only the old county magistrate was not feeling well. I didn't go to the banquet, but I had people prepare gifts for me.
After stepping up to the first level of the Eight Deacons, today's Zhao Ran is no longer the same as before. In the eyes of everyone, he is already a well-known big shot in Guyang County. Although he is not to the point where he stomps his feet and shakes the world, he wants to ruin someone's good deeds. But it was easy, so I really enjoyed a lot of flattery and flattery during the banquet, and received a lot of gifts.
Zhao Ran didn¡¯t show how noble he was. He accepted everything that needed to be accepted. Flattery words went in one ear and out the other. He gave away a lot of empty promises. In short, hello, me, everyone. These are the rules of this world, and you don¡¯t have to bear too much burden on your conscience.
In the meantime, Jinxian Lieutenant came over to have two glasses of wine with Zhao Ran, and asked again about the progress of the ultimatum issue for Erlang Jinjiu. Zhao Ran of course agreed and said he would do his best. These words are not false. Jinxian Lieutenant cannot put the treasure on him alone. The focus of research must be on Song Zhiyuan. When the time comes, he will just fan the flames and add more strength.
The lively banquet was over and the others had their own follow-up arrangements, but Zhao Ran refused. It was not that he wanted to keep himself clean, but that he could not wait to go back to Shanshan to open Golden Finger.
After returning to his room, he sent away Guan Er and several other people who were escorting him. Zhao Ran closed the door tightly, took off his belt by the light of the bedside oil lamp, and pulled out the green rope from the middle. Then he unfolded his employment documents and placed them next to Lu Suo.
Zhao Ran held his breath and observed the green rope with all his concentration. Until the moment the green rope began to tremble, he finally couldn't help but start beating wildly in his heart.
A bit of white light flew up from the document and disappeared into the green rope in an instant!
Zhao Ran fainted happily.
Zhao Ran had a dream. He dreamed that the green cord gradually rose from the bed, emitting a round and transparent fluorescence from beginning to end, and suddenly penetrated into his body from the top of his head, along the inside of his skull, neck, and chest, all the way down. It sank into the sea of ????qi, and then hung the pot in the sea of ????qi, gradually shrinking into a very bright green point. Then, the green dot suddenly began to expand outwards, and in an instant it filled the entire void of the Qi Sea, until it spread to the edge of the Qi Sea, as if the Qi Sea was covered with an inner shell of green jade.
The entire Qi Sea, Heaven and Earth began to rotate slowly, and the trajectory seemed to be traceless, but Zhao Ran knew in his dream that it was a Buddhist seal with ten thousand characters. When he was confused, a stick bounced around in the air sea, and finally jumped into the middle of the air sea, and then settled down. The two ends of the stick began to grow, reaching upwards into the depths of the void at the top, and downwards into the "underground" of the sea of ??air, endlessly, and no one knew where it was going.
This is not the end. The green light that just covered the inner shell of the Qi Sea quickly extended along the meridians on the edge of the Qi Sea, lighting up the 365 acupoints all over the body one by one. Then, the Qi Sea, meridians and acupuncture points in Zhao Ran's body At the same time it started to tremble. Waves of numbness and pain all over his body invaded the depths of Zhao Ran's consciousness. The pain was so painful that he wanted to open his mouth and scream, but he couldn't make a single sound. He felt so suffocated that he felt like he was about to drown in the water.
Zhao Ran fell into coma again in his dream.
By the time Zhao Ran woke up, it was already afternoon. Since he no longer held the position of the quiet master of the Sutra Hall, he no longer had to be on duty in the Sutra Hall, so there was no one to disturb him.
The scene in the dream is vivid in your mind, but it doesn¡¯t seem to be a dream? Zhao Ran got up from the bed and just sat up when his head suddenly buzzed and countless information poured into his consciousness. This process was extremely short. Zhao Ran was just stunned for a moment, and then the infusion of information stopped. Zhao Ran knew a lot of things in an instant.
What was poured into the consciousness was a Taoist practice method called "The Sutra of Innate Merit and Virtue". The content was incomplete, only the "General Tips" and "Chapter 1". Zhao Ran sat on the bedside and was stunned for a long time, and then he couldn't laugh or cry. If this technique hadn't given him the feeling of "knowing it from birth" and knowing that what he said was true, he would have couldn't help but wonder if someone was joking with him.
The best place to practice in the world?There are many types, such as Taoism Qi refining and Buddhism cultivating nature, but no matter which type, they must be consistent with the spiritual power between heaven and earth. Taoism absorbs the "Qi" in spiritual power through breathing and breathing and transforms it into true energy. Buddhism uses visualization to combine with the "nature" or "light" in spiritual power and transform it into "wish power".
No matter which method is used, it requires the support of the faith of incense. Taoism uses the faith of incense to eliminate cause and effect and reduce the catastrophe; Buddhism uses the faith of incense to create a passage to the Western Paradise. This is the fundamental reason why Buddhism and Taoism compete for believers.
"The Sutra of Innate Merit and Virtue" neither accepts Qi nor harmonizes with nature, but it cultivates merit.
What is merit? The general rule goes: "Gong is merit, virtue is good deeds, sincerity is justice, and goodness is virtue." So how should we cultivate merit? The general formula says that merit and faith are intertwined and are intangible, and the great road cannot be seen in the spirit. In other words, this thing is invisible, not in the aura, similar to the power of faith, and cannot be obtained through inhalation and visualization.
How can we obtain merit? The general advice also makes it clear: work hard and get recognized. What to do? Of course, do things that are good for people. Who will approve it? One is up, one is down! To put it bluntly, for Zhao Ran, now that he is in the Taoist sect, he must gain recognition from two aspects, one is the recognition of him by the Taoist sect, and the other is the recognition of him by the believers.
"The Sutra of Innate Merit and Virtue" also divides the level of cultivation into four major steps: refining Qi to transform, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao. However, the method of cultivation is completely different, focusing on "behavior". "Cultivation, rather than "meditation" practice, this is also the difference between merit and "qi". In short, if Zhao Ran wants to "absorb" merit - well, the word "absorb" is actually not accurate, then he must keep doing things and do things that can be recognized by "upper and lower", and the power of merit will be Like Qi, it is automatically "absorbed" into the body, and there is no need to meditate and practice at all.
After the power of merit enters the body, and then is transformed by the cultivation methods of the "Innate Merit Sutra", one can obtain magic power, use it to strengthen the body, use it to practice Dharma, and finally use it to live forever and ascend to the heaven. The "Chapter One" poured into Zhao Ran's mind talks about how to transform the power of merit at the level of refining.
Zhao Ran understood, but of course he was speechless. What kind of cultivation method is this? Where is the bone setting that I want?
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With bone-setting yet again yet to be accomplished, this is the only way for him to pursue spiritual practice at present.
After getting out of bed, Zhao Ran began to think, according to the "Innate Merit Sutra", should he find something to do now? See if it has any effect?
Opening the door, I saw Guan Er standing respectfully outside the door, followed by several square hall inspectors behind him. Guan Er saw Zhao Ran coming out and said quickly: "Master Fang, a few brothers and I are here to help your old man move."
Zhao Ran has now been transferred from Jingzhu to Fangzhu. His level has been upgraded to deacon. He can now move to the backyard. Guan Er is here to help with the move. He was not pretentious, and allowed Guan Er and others to go into the room and mess around for a while. Five or six strong men came out together holding a bundle, as if the bundle was very heavy, which made Zhao Ran laugh for a while.
Shi Shiran came to the backyard of the eight major deacons' quarters. Zhao Ran first entered the third small courtyard on the left. This is the courtyard of the Fangtang and Sutra Hall. Zhao Ran has been here many times before, and this time he has to go with Gao Gong Liu Zhiguang became a neighbor.
The Jingtang residence was on the left, and Liu Zhiguang was not there, so Zhao Ran asked Guan Er to open the door of his residence on the right. Several strong men rushed in, carefully put down the packages, and then began to sweep carefully.
Zhao Ran called Guan Er aside and asked expectantly: "Brother Guan Er, have you encountered any trouble recently? Do you need me to help you solve it?"
