When the first day of the 20th year of Jiajing came, Zhao Ran spent his time in depression. Every year at the end of the year, it is the month with the most Taoist festivals, such as the birthday of Yuanshi, the God of Kitchen God, Tianlazhi, the Jade Emperor's birthday, the Tianguan Emperor's birthday, etc., which is dazzling.
Junshan Temple has opened its doors to welcome pilgrims since December 20th, and has been busy since the 15th day of the first lunar month. Of course, it is impossible for them to hold large-scale fasting festivals every festival. They will only hold a ceremony on the day of the first day of the lunar month and the birthday of the Jade Emperor on the eighth day of the lunar month.
Because Zhao Ran has a dark history of appearing in front of others, the rumor that there is an immortal master in Junshan Temple has already spread throughout the surrounding counties. Therefore, the number of pilgrims who come to Junshan Temple to offer incense and worship the gods this year is far more than in previous years, including pilgrims from Baoding Prefecture and Tongchuan Prefecture. , there are even people from the capital.
Zhengdan¡¯s first incense stick has been reserved by this wealthy businessman from the capital. His donation for the incense was fifty taels.
As a temple blessing and an immortal master, Zhao Ran only personally presided over two large rituals. The rest of the time was spent sitting listlessly in the back hall, praying for every pilgrim that Jin Jiu brought over - there was nothing he could do. , Immortal masters also have to eat, right?
As for interpreting fortunes and reading fortunes, leave it to Lin Shuangwen. No one else can do it. He has been practicing in the Taoist sect for too long, and apart from Zhao Ran, he has the ability to read people's dishes.
While busy, Zhao Ran earned a lot of merit, but these merits could only be looked at but not eaten, and they were all piled up above the sea of ??qi. He has not made any progress in his cultivation for two whole months, and he has also wasted two extravagant opportunities to realize it. It is really heartbreaking and painful!
The so-called pain in the balls is definitely not a joke, it is a real physical feeling. This once again proves that the essence of Taoist cultivation is closely related to the most essential mechanism of the human body.
Sometimes Zhao Ran also considered that instead of staying in Shifang Jungle, Huayun Pavilion also has masters, elders, and great elders. In the future, he can also go to Lushan Jianji Temple to continue to mix levels. Maybe this is also a way. But then I thought about it, I was really stupid, how could I be qualified to teach the skills if I wasn't Master Jindan? How can a Master become an elder if he is not a master? The problem has come full circle and returned to its original point.
Regretfully, he returned to the front hall and sat in front of the table in a daze. Scenes of everyone he had ever known flashed through his mind, wondering who might be able to help him. While they were going through repeated screenings, Qu Fenghe knocked on the door and came in, handing over a document.
"How have you been doing with your reading these days?"
"I have read the way of kings and ministers"
"How did you say that?"
"The ruler who governs the country cultivates virtue, and his loyal ministers assist him in practicing the Tao. If the Tao spreads virtue, peace will prevail. If the officials and the people admire him, the world will be easy to govern."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Besides your daily chores, don't delay your studies. You have a solid foundation, so don't become arrogant or neglectful because of it. Compared with you, Zhong Sanlang can be called a stupid bird, but the stupid bird flies first, so it's not thousands of miles away?"
"clear!"
Waving his hand for Qu Fenghe to go down, Zhao Ran opened the official document. The official document was forwarded from Wujiyuan, and the official document from Xizhenwu Palace was forwarded, and the official document from Xizhenwu Palace was forwarded from Xuanyuan Guan. According to the terminology of later generations, it should be such an official document - a notice about forwarding Xizhenwu Palace's "Notice on Forwarding Xuanyuan Guan [Notice on Convening a Grand Council on Taoist Work in the Province]".
It may seem awkward to pronounce, but there is nothing wrong with the logic and grammar. Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile knowingly, as if he had returned to a time long ago.
Daomen in Sichuan Province is the same as other provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Every three to five years, each temple in Shifang Jungle will hold a major meeting. The content is nothing more than summarizing the past work and making some work plans and prospects for the next few years. , some important matters will also be notified during the discussion period. Those who participated in the discussion were mainly Taoist priests above the eight deacons of Xuanyuan Temple, the abbots of each Taoist palace and the three capitals, and the abbots and supervisors of each Taoist temple.
Zhao Ran vaguely remembered that there was a meeting at the end of the twelfth year of Jiajing. At that time, he was still a layman in the field of fire work and was preparing wholeheartedly for the qualifications of a Taoist priest. After the big meeting, Yu Zhiyuan, who was well-informed, once said to him that because of the setback in regaining Baima Mountain, the Taoist sect and the top officials of the imperial court were deeply shaken, so the big meeting actually had only one topic: to concentrate thoughts, unify understanding, and expand Mobilize, organize carefully, devote yourself to all the work of recovering Baima Mountain, and work hard to win the great victory of the war!
This was Zhao Ran¡¯s summary of that major meeting. Yu Zhiyuan burst out laughing after hearing it, saying that he summarized it quite well.
In the next seven years, Zhao Ran never heard of Xuanyuan Guan holding a grand meeting.
It¡¯s just that Zhao Ran was a little curious, how could Wuji Academy send such a document to him? Since the opening of the Junshan Temple, only Junshan Temple has issued a document to Wujiyuan, but Wujiyuan has only sent it three times to Junshan Temple. Once was a reply after receiving a request from Junshan Temple to erect a statue. The reply wasHe transferred to the West Zhenwu Palace; the second time was after receiving a request from Junshan Temple to grant an ultimatum to Guan Er and others, but the reply was temporarily denied; the third time was to forward the notice of proceedings from above. It fully reflects how bad the relationship between the courtyard and the temple is.
As for any other matters, we will not be notified at all. Several times, Jin Jiu was so angry that he cursed loudly and said that he would not report anything to Wuji Academy in the future. Of course, despite being angry, he finally came to his senses under Zhao Ran's persuasion. Zhao Ran is right, it is their fault that Wuji Academy did this, but if you Junshan Temple did the same thing, as a subordinate, you would be shouldering the other party's fault as well.
Since the document was sent, Zhao Ran read it carefully to see what it had to do with Junshan Temple.
The subject matter of the big meeting was concise and concise. It was nothing more than a summary of the past and plans for the future, without revealing any special circumstances.
The time is from the 21st to the 30th of the first lunar month, and the meeting lasts for ten days, which is a little longer, but there is nothing surprising. These days, except for the monks in the palace, it is not easy for ordinary people to travel far away. So many people spend ten and a half days rushing to the place, hold a meeting for two or three days, and then leave. What's the trouble?
Looking at the location, we decided on Ye Xueguan. Zhao Ran secretly speculated that this meeting was probably still related to the Baima Mountain battlefield. No, it was not related. I am afraid it was the main content. Otherwise, it should have been held in Qingcheng Mountain. The big meeting seven years ago was held in Pingwu, the seat of Long'an Mansion, which is close to Songfanwei. This time, it was one step closer. Could it be something big?
Finally, the scope of participants is still the eight deacons and above of Xuanyuan Guan, the three capitals and above of all prefectures and Taoist palaces, the abbots and supervisors of each county
Huh? Zhao Ran squinted his eyes, right?
"Every county, Taoist temple, and temple will attend the meeting"
"Please make sure that the above personnel arrive at Ye Xueguan before the 20th day of the first lunar month of the 20th year of Jiajing and report to the Daomen Promotion Office, otherwise they will be punished as delaying the military aircraft"
Zhao Ran was immediately shocked!
