Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since knowing the outcome of the Battle of Baima Mountain, Zhao Ran has been very concerned about the losses to the Xia Kingdom, especially the life and death of Yeli Xiaohou Ye.  They beheaded 4,700 people and captured more than 10,000 people. Is there any Yeli Huaide among these people?

    Zhao Ran wanted to send a flying talisman to ask Xin Cheng'an last night, but Xin Cheng'an had already accepted Zhao Ran's suggestion and left Xingqing Mansion to avoid the limelight. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was in Tianmatai Temple or Jialan Temple.

    According to the agreement between the two, Zhao Ran cannot take the initiative to send flying talismans to Xin Chengan. God knows what they are doing.  It is very possible that Xinchengan was drinking tea with a certain Buddhist monk, but Zhao Ran flew over with a talisman, and "a white light suddenly disappeared into his forehead." Then Xinchengan might have suffered a tragedy

    Huatou returns to the issue of credibility.

    It¡¯s useless to complain about Dong Zhikun now. It¡¯s better to find out more from the boss.  What exactly is this ranking of believers¡¯ trustworthiness?  It is actually simple to say that it is the measure of the credibility of the Lushan General View that each place absorbs.

    More than six hundred years ago, the expansion of Buddhism became more and more intense. In addition to occupying more and more sacred caves and a large number of elixirs and minerals and other resources, a large number of high-ranking officials and ordinary people invested in Buddhism and became believers and disciples of Buddhism. This is the right response.  The most deadly threat to the Taoist sect.

    Seeing the massive loss of trust among believers, the Taoist sect could no longer sit still, and finally launched a violent attack, triggering a decades-long war between Buddhism and Taoism. In the end, it won an unprecedented victory and took the land where the Central Plains converged into its hands.

    After expelling Buddhism from the Central Plains, Taoism was also very dissatisfied with the Li and Tang royal family.  The royal family of Li and Tang Dynasty, which originally respected Taoism as the state religion and recognized Laojun as their ancestor, played a very bad role in the growth of Buddhism. Especially during the period when Empress Wu was in power, they strongly supported Buddhism and even encouraged various places to build Dayun Temple.  , directly listed as an official temple.

    After the mid-Tang Dynasty, Emperors Daizong, Dezong, Xianzong and other emperors all worshiped Buddhism, causing Buddhism to further grow in size and finally rival Daoism.

    Therefore, after the Dao Sect took over the Central Plains, it directly ended the rule of the Li Tang royal family, and the Li Tang world, which had been inherited for more than three hundred years, changed hands.

    Back then, as one of the core leaders of the Taoist sect, Du Guangting, the great fax master, once said something that is still regarded as a guideline: "If you want elixirs and mines, I will give them to you with both hands: you can build temples and temples in my cave heaven and blessed land.  I am good to my neighbors; if you modify my scriptures for your own use, I will read them carefully for you. But if you want my trust, don't blame me for destroying you!"

    The power of faith is different from the merits absorbed by Zhao Ran. It is the power of the believers' wishes to pray for blessings. Putting a stick of incense, reciting a Taoist scripture, and making a vow will all produce faith.  These faith powers are absorbed by the Taoist sect's specially refined magic weapon - the idol, and are sent to the faith pool of Lushan General View to be transformed into divine water. Lushan General View can use the special faith to transform the magic weapon - Jiuzhou Fangyuan Ding.  Measure how much faith each statue of God absorbs.

    When Zhao Ran established the Junshan Temple, Cai Yunshen made a special trip to inspect and test the temple before refining the Jade Emperor statue. This was for this purpose.

    According to Bai Du, Guyang County¡¯s trustworthiness in the 19th year of Jiajing¡¯s reign is more than 863,000 Gui, ranking tenth among the ninety-two counties in Sichuan Province.  Gui is the unit used to measure the power of Taoism in this world, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of ten grains of corn.

    Among them, Junshan Temple contributed more than 336,000 Gui. Excluding Junshan Temple, Guyang County¡¯s revenue was only more than 527,000 Gui. As a top county, it ranks first in the province.  Fifty-seven, which is seriously inconsistent with the situation of Dingkou, a decrease of nearly 200,000 Gui compared with five years ago.

    Zhao Ran found it very interesting after hearing this, and he learned a lot about Bai Du.  For example, Jianji Guan releases a highly confidential pamphlet every year, and those who are qualified to read it can use it for comparison; another example is that although Jianji Guan does not explicitly stipulate it, the degree of credibility often becomes a measure of monitoring.  It is an important indicator of the hospital's ability; for example, the Taoist Association will rely on this booklet to promptly discover and deal with problems such as the Eight Immortals Sect that arise in various places

    Before returning to the promotion office, Bai Du said the last thing: "Since Junshan Temple is so outstanding, there are some things that should be fought for."

    "Something" - what is it?  "Fight for it" - what to fight for?  Bai Du said these words, which seemed to have profound meaning, but also seemed to mean nothing, making Zhao Ran fall into deep thought.

    After the great fasting ceremony of the heroes and martyrs, the Taoist Sect of Sichuan Province began to discuss matters.

    On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, at three o'clock in the morning, in the main hall of the Tiotiao Office, more than three hundred Taoist priests were seated in three rows on the east and west sides facing each other.  These Taoist priests are the helmsmen of provincial temples, palaces, county hospitals and even rural temples. They represent more than 12,000 ordained Taoist priests in the jungles of all directions in Sichuan Province. They are the spiritual leaders of the eight million believers in the entire Sichuan Province.

    Directly north of the Sanqing statue are four yellow wooden chairs. On the first chair from the left is the governor of Western Sichuan Military Affairs Zhou Gao. On the second chair is Li Yunhe of the Xuanyuan Guanyuan. To the right are Yue Tengzhong, the colleague of the Daomen Western Sichuan Promotion Office.  , ?Yuanyuan Guandu was in charge of Zhao Yun Tower.

    As the lowest-level temple blessing, Zhao Ran is located in the third column on the west side.  Because Junshan Temple has the smallest number of ordained Taoist priests and Huo Gong laymen, and Zhao Ran is the youngest, he is ranked at the bottom of all the temple blessings, and he can reach the threshold of the main hall with his hand.

    When arranging the seats on the first day, Zhao Zhixing originally wanted to adjust the seats and put Zhao Ran first among the temple blessings because of his status as a monk. However, Zhao Ran quickly went to find Zhao Zhixing after learning about it and insisted on following the arrangement.  Seating in the original order.  Since he was hanging out in the Shifang Jungle, he didn't want to appear too unique. When necessary, he even wanted everyone to forget his identity as a monk.

    The first day's discussion ended with a summary of the war, rewards and punishments, merits and demerits.  In the past eight years, there have been more than 6,000 Taoist priests from Shifang jungle who entered the Baima Mountain War Zone to participate in the war in Daomen of Sichuan Province. In the list of rewards and punishments announced by Zhao Yunlou, the governor of Xuanyuan Temple, a total of 310 Taoist priests were commended.  Eight people accounted for about 5%. This shows that the Taoist sect is quite strict in its assessment of military merit.

    These Taoist priests who have performed meritorious services have been rewarded to varying degrees with promotions, elixirs, land, and silver. Among them, more than 100 people who have achieved special honors have also been awarded bone-sparing pills and had the opportunity to participate in the altar of promotion.  Especially for the latter, the rewards are quite generous, and it is also the first time in the history of the Taoist sect that the Ascension Altar has been held on a large scale.

    Others also have different levels of silver rewards, and a resume is added to the dianzhuofang file as an important reference for future promotions.  Because Zhao Ran had a record of participating in the Battle of Baima Mountain issued by the Promotion Department, he was also awarded thirty taels of silver and was recorded by Xuanyuan Guan.

    Of course, more than fifty Taoist priests were notified of punishment. The most serious ones were to take back the Taoist ultimatum and be expelled from the Taoist sect.  I heard that hundreds of Taoist priests were beheaded on the spot during the war, but these would not be mentioned in major discussions.
