    Everyone in the hall was silent, thinking carefully about Jing Zhimo's words and looking at each other in shock.

    Someone said: "The Supreme View has issued a strict order not to allow the pavilions and pavilions to interfere with the jungles of the ten directions"

    Jing Zhimo immediately asked: "Where can I see this order?"

    The person who spoke was suddenly speechless. Everyone didn't realize it before, but when they thought about it carefully today, they found that they had followed this practice for countless years and couldn't find the source!

    Just listen to Jing Zhimo say: "In recent months, I have read through the edicts issued by Taoist sects for hundreds of years and the various sects' precepts and regulations, and found that the so-called rules that the palaces and pavilions are not allowed to interfere with the jungles of the ten directions are not in the explicit text. That day  It felt so strange. Later, I accidentally asked a senior for advice and found out the origin of this rule."

    Yue Tengzhong couldn't help but ask: "Where did it come from?"

    Jing Zhimo said: "I wonder if you have ever read "Changchun Liu Zhenren's Quotes New Collection" written by the ancestor Chengkangzi?"

    Patriarch Chengkangzi was a virtuous and true Taoist who was promoted to the throne a hundred years ago. His surname was Shao and his given name was correct. He was awarded the title of "Zhenfa Tongmiao Zhenren".  Shao Yizheng was the eldest disciple of Liu Yuanran, the "actor and teacher of Changchun Master". He once wrote "Quotations of Changchun Master Liu", which recorded Liu Yuanran's daily words and deeds.

    There are dozens of people here who know Liu Yuanran and Shao Yizheng, but very few have read "Quotations of Changchun Liu Zhenren", and most people have not even heard of "New Quotations of Changchun Liu Zhenren".

    Everyone didn't dare to show timidity, but just listened to Jing Zhimo.

    "The Master of Changchun said: Everyone is originally peaceful, but it is because the owner has no awareness and is led by material desires. The sounds and colors are outside, the lust is inside, and the dreams are reversed. There is no way to stop, so it is impossible to be quiet.

    It is also said: The true meaning of attaining the Tao is to cultivate both blessings and wisdom. If you want to cultivate the immortal way, you must first cultivate the human way. The human way is established and the immortal way is achieved. Cultivating merit can save you from the troubles in the world, benefit the people, and improve your own morality. Only then can you achieve the Tao and become an immortal.  One of the conditions.

    That¡¯s why Patriarch Chengkangzi asked: When will you practice blessings?  When to practice wisdom?

    Changchun Master replied: Cultivation is like refining elixir. There are subjects and guests. They vary with the times and follow the trend.  For example, in troubled times, the main purpose is to cultivate blessings and enter the world from the pavilion to benefit the world. During the governance of the world, the main purpose is to cultivate wisdom and it is appropriate to cultivate the roots of wisdom. The pavilion does not care about worldly affairs and does not involve in the jungles of the ten directions.

    Everyone, this statement is the only record that the people in the palace did not interfere with the jungles of the ten directions. There is nothing else. Of course, maybe I am not very talented and have not read it yet.  Over the past hundred years, this saying has spread without knowing when, and has gradually become a default rule of our Taoist sect.  "

    After a while, I heard Yue Tengzhong say: "If this is the case, I'm afraid this rule is highly questionable"

    Jing Zhimo said: "So I'm very worried. In the past, there were no monks who directly held Taoist positions in our Shifang Jungle, so this rule was of little use. Now that Zhao Zhiran is here, when we want to pick up this rule, we actually find that  The origin and position of this rule itself are untenable. If you think about it carefully, are you as afraid as me? Faced with the monks who may appear around you and me in the future, how should we restrain them? In other words, we lay people  , can we really restrain them?"

    Someone asked: "Master Jingdian, in your opinion, what should I do?"

    Jing Zhimo said with emotion: "Send a letter to ask for an edict! If you don't want to name me, I, Jing Zhimo, am willing to write to the three capitals alone! I know that your concerns are nothing more than the monks involved, and I dare not speak out, but I, Jing Zhimo,  Don¡¯t be afraid! If we lay people living in the jungles of the ten directions are timid because of cherishing our own bodies, how will we deal with it when the Dharma is corrupted in the future? If we really get into trouble because of this, I, Jingjimo, am willing to bear it with all my strength!"

    What Jing Zhimo said at the end of this meeting deeply shocked all the Taoist priests present. Regardless of their stance and background, everyone was thinking about the question he raised.  How will you face a monk when he appears next to you?

    After the discussion, Fu Yunzhen called Jing Zhimo to his side and said: "Within three days, compile what you said today into a document and make suggestions. You can report it to me, or report it to Pan Dianzao of your Dianzhu Academy. I will  I will communicate with him and submit it to Sandu as soon as possible. You do not need to bear the responsibility of submitting the letter alone. This is the common aspiration of the comrades in the entire Shifang Jungle."

    Hall Master Cui, Master Xu Fang and Lin Gaogong all went out together and looked at each other, speechless for a long time.  They were specifically responsible for talking to Zhao Zhiran. They had worked hard in recent months, but they did not expect that the topic of this discussion was obviously to judge the case of Du Tenghui. How could it suddenly change to the formulation of an express edict to restrict monks like Zhao Zhiran from traveling in all directions?  Have you taken a job in the jungle?  It¡¯s really unbelievable!

    The Du Tenghui case ended with ¡°no evidence found¡±.  All the people from Sichuan Province who were recruited to Lushan were released one by one and were told, "Thank you for your great assistance and active cooperation."

    Lushan Mountain itself is a place of superb scenery, with countless scenic spots everywhere.??Just after such an experience, basically no one in Sichuan Province who was called for questioning was in the mood to enjoy it. After a hasty farewell, they left each other - no one even dared to go together.

    Zhao Ran came to the foot of the mountain and watched Du Tenghui board the ship from a distance at Xunyang Ferry outside Jiujiang City.  Du Tenghui stood on the bow of the boat, looking at Lushan Mountain in the distance, his figure not moving for a long time.  The boatman whistled, and several long bamboo shoots stretched out to push the passenger ship away from the shore. Zhao Ran saluted Du Teng on the passenger ship.

    Only then did Du Tenghui retract his gaze from the direction of Lushan Mountain. He glanced at the shore and caught a glimpse of Zhao Ran who was saluting to see him off, so he slightly closed his head and returned the salute.

    The passenger ship gradually moved away and disappeared on the river. Zhao Ran turned around and asked east. After walking a few miles, he entered a restaurant by the river. Outside the door of the restaurant was a flag banner with the message "Three stones and one tea".

    After going up to the second floor and entering a private room, I saw a big man sitting in the room. It was Zhang Lue, the commander of Songfan Guards and the guard of Hongyuan.

    Zhang Lue stood up and clasped his fists: "I've seen Abbot Zhao!"

    Zhao Ran smiled: "Zhang Shouyu is so polite, why do you still invite me to drink?"

    Zhang Lue laughed at himself: "I thought Zhang was somewhat courageous, but when I got to Mount Lu, I discovered that I was no better than a rat. If it hadn't been for Abbot Zhao's guidance, I would have almost made a big mistake! I didn't know how to return to Songfan this time."  When I can see the abbot again, I might as well set up a table here and get drunk with the abbot."

    While talking, he called the bartender in: "Isn't your place known as the Four Wonders of Lushan? Hurry up and bring out the drinks!"

    The bartender smiled and said: "It has been prepared for a long time, come here immediately!" After going out and shouting twice, a table of wine and food was handed over one after another from the kitchen.

    The so-called Four Wonders of Lushan are the "three stones and one tea" carried on the wine glass.  The three stones are stone chicken, stone fish, and stone fungus. They are the red frog, spring fish, and black fungus that are specialties in Lushan. The stone chicken yellow is stewed in a pot, plus the stone fish scrambled eggs and stone fungus stir-fried vegetables, and a jar of the restaurant's homemade wine.  It¡¯s really unique to drink rice wine and enjoy the scenery of thousands of sails competing on the river outside the window while drinking and eating.

    After drinking a few drinks, they started chatting. Zhao Ran asked, "How will Zhang Shouyu be honored this year?"

    Zhang Lue said: "Zhang is actually thirty-eight years old this year."

    "It doesn't look like it. If you say you have just turned thirty, I'm afraid no one will doubt you."

    "Haha, thank you abbot for your compliments. People who practice martial arts always move their muscles and bones."

    "Zhang Shouyu does look brave. I heard from the Du Supervisory Academy of Tianhe Palace that Zhang Shouyu is a fierce general in the battle formation."

    Zhang Lue sighed and said: "I don't dare to call myself a fierce general, but I just dare to charge and be willing to fight tooth and nail."

    Zhao Ran raised a toast and said: "I heard that Zhang Shouyu was not from a family of generals, nor was he from a military household. He was able to serve as a fourth-rank official and take charge of a party. This opportunity is really rare. Unless he is extraordinary in battle, how can he do it?  Maybe he's in a high position? Where did Shouyu enlist in the army? From the accent, it doesn't sound like he's from Sichuan."

    Zhang Lue drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Zhang has been in Sichuan for seventeen years. He thinks that his speech is no different from that of Sichuan people. He doesn't want to be picked up by the abbot, haha The gang below me  Guawazi, you keep saying that I speak authentic Sichuan dialect, so it turns out you are just trying to make me happy, haha! To be honest with the abbot, I am from the capital city."

    "Oh? People from the capital, why did you go to Sichuan to join the army? There must be a story to defend the army. Can you tell me about it?"
