In the first month of the first lunar month, the new abbot Zhang Yuanji of Jianjiguan held a Zhengdan fast festival in Mount Lu. Taoist priests at the deacon level and above from Shifang Jungle in Jiangxi gathered in Mount Lu and saw an extremely shocking scene:
Mr. Kuangyu, the mountain god, has fluttering sleeves and is more than nine feet tall. He stands on the top of Wulao Peak and looks down on all living beings. Zhang Yuanji then led thousands of Taoist priests to prostrate themselves on the ground and pray for the Taoist sect's safety and blessings.
The effect of this skill is extremely powerful. Zhao Ran had to sigh after hearing about it. Longhu Mountain's Void Refining is really no small matter. It reflects the vast range of Zhang Yuanji's spell control and the solidification of the divine shadow. I am afraid that ordinary Void Refining can be done. Not coming out.
If you enter the realm of refining yourself, can you also cast spells at the foot of the mountain and manifest miracles at the top of the mountain? Zhao Ran shook his head, it's difficult
Mr. Kuangyu's appearance on Lushan Mountain and the heavy snowfall outside Songzhou City were listed by various journals as the "model rituals" of the Zhengdan Daomen Zhaijiao in the 28th year of Jiajing. Zhao Ran could only brush it off. Wipe away the cold sweat, muster up courage, grit your teeth and move forward.
As the saying goes, the abbot took office with three fires, and Zhang Yuanji¡¯s first fire was to burn out his reputation, morale, and reputation as a cultivator, and bring back the hearts of all the Taoists in the jungles of the ten directions.
Immediately after the end of the first month, Zhang Yuanji's second fire was burned out. Jian Jiguan issued an edict, urging the provinces to continue to step up the replacement of county abbots, and clearly prohibited the use of time differences to suddenly promote abbots and superior Taoist temples in the name of temporary posts. There are three phenomena: occupying the vacant abbot position, and the old and sick abbot refusing to give up.
??For county courts where the above three phenomena have occurred, they will not be lenient once verified, and the relevant parties will be strictly held accountable. The edict requires that before the 30th year of Jiajing and in the eighth year after the promulgation of the policy, the first-level abbots of Daomen County should be fully covered by monks.
Zhao Ran agrees and supports this. Including vassal departments, there are more than 1,400 county monasteries in the Ming Dynasty. Until today, five years after the edict was issued, the number of monks serving as abbots of Taoist monasteries has only just exceeded Three hundred, not even a quarter.
No province has achieved full coverage. Even Sichuan, which has been the most active in implementing this policy, has so far only achieved it in six prefectures: Songfan, Longan, Baoning, Tongchuan, Lizhou and Wumeng. The five-year goal of the abbot and all the monks in the Taoist temple under his jurisdiction was achieved.
So even though Zhao Ran is not happy with Zhang Yuanji and has a deep grudge against him, he still deeply welcomes his drastic move to promote the monks to serve as abbots. Although he was welcomed, he was also a little confused as to his inner motives.
??????????? But it¡¯s hard to understand, people who do things only ask about the results, not the heart. If Zhang Yuanji can really achieve the goal of the edict he issued, Zhao Ran will not hesitate to give him the greatest support.
¡° Thirty years after Jiajing, all counties in the Ming Dynasty were appointed as abbots by monks. Regardless of the uneven quality among them, Zhao Ran believed that it was expected that the total trust value would reach 1.5 billion or even exceed 1.5 billion.
In this way, eighteen or even fifteen years has soared to a co -Tao. Isn't the great practitioners who are backward behind?
Then I thought about it, maybe this is also the result of the supervision from behind by the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Yunyi?
In February, good news came one after another. First came the news that Wudang Chisongzi successfully came out of seclusion and was promoted to the 72nd Taoist monk, the Void Refining Monk. For this reason, Qingyi rushed back to Wudang to attend the ordination ceremony of Chisongzi Taoist Master. Wei Zhizhen and Zhao Ran went to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Zongsheng Hall. Needless to say, it was a lively ceremony.
Zhao Ran guest-starred as an on-site reporter and sent the report of the red pine nut engraving ceremony back to Dajunshan, so that "Junshan Notes" could publish congratulatory messages and articles.
Immediately afterwards, Master Lin Zhijiao of the Wenqing Sect successfully came out of seclusion, gave birth to a baby with his spiritual consciousness, and broke through the realm to become a master. This is the third advanced practitioner above the master training level in Zong Sheng Hall, filling the gap in the level of master training level in Dajun Mountain.
Zhao Ran and others rushed back to the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven to watch Lin Zhijiao¡¯s ceremony of conferring the title of Master Refiner on the spot. The Zongsheng Hall spent 3.6 million credit quota for this purpose, using more than half of the remaining credit quota. Fortunately, the eldest brother should have no signs of breaking through as a master in the past three years, otherwise the Zongsheng Hall would really be stretched thin.
At the same time, after careful preliminary preparations, Luo Zhiqing began to formally retreat to attack the Archmage. This news made the Zongsheng Hall even more happy.
Lin Zhijiao's face was radiant after entering the Master Refiner Realm. Although she was over sixty years old, she seemed to be younger than when she was the Archmage Realm. This was also due to the Wenqing Sect's skills.
As a result, the Zongsheng Hall officially established the Presbyterian Church, which was built on a site beside Junshan Lake and was composed of Jiang Tenghe, Zhao Liniang and Lin Zhijiao. But the Elder Hall of the Zongsheng Hall is different from other places. The ones who really take care of the affairs are Wei Zhizhen and Zhao Ran, especially Zhao Ran.
The true identities of the two senior brothers are more like unnamed elders. The eldest brother is the general elder, while Zhao Ran is the "executive deputy elder and external liaison officer.""Minister of the Communications Department", and there is also the Fairy Toad Palace, the general manager of the mountain gate, but this rabbit also plans to formally retreat, and is now using the last one or two months to consider her successor - brackets, recommend candidates, brackets end.
Song Yuqiao, the master of the Wenqing Sect, sighed to Zhao Ran that the Dajun Cave is a good place. Since the sect moved here, the Kun Dao practitioners of the Wenqing Sect have made breakthroughs in their cultivation. In just five years, Lin Zhijiao has broken through As a realm refiner, she and her senior sister Zheng Yutong have made elixirs one after another. Cao Yuzhu and Zhuang Yuqi have also gained some insights and are preparing to ask for leave from Tianhe Palace and return to the mountain to attack the Huangguan Realm.
While sighing, Song Yuqiao also speculated excitedly, maybe this is the rumored luck? Has the Wenqing Sect¡¯s luck arrived? When he said this, he looked at Zhao Ran who was smiling and silent, and added: "Well, Lou Guan's luck has also arrived."
??????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lin Zhijiao's Master Refiner Ceremony was just over, Zhao Ran received another flying talisman from Pei Zhongze: "What are Zhiran busy with? Are you free these days?"
Zhao Ran hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Pei is out of seclusion? How is it?"
Pei Zhongze replied: "The Dansheng Divine Consciousness has been entrusted with my destiny. I will be appointed as the Archmage in Qingyun Mountain in three days. Are you free? You and I will get drunk together."
Zhao Ran is not very busy this year. The post of Du Guan is relatively free. Dao Sect Walking has been given to Qu Fenghe. The Drought Relief Headquarters has been disbanded, so he agreed immediately.
When Zhao Ran climbed to the gate of Qingyun Mountain again, the Qingyun Pavilion received him even more wholeheartedly. Many acquaintances from Qingyun Mountain came to accompany him, and Pei Zhongning kept hanging around him all day long. .
Pei Zhongze was promoted to Archmage at the age of forty-five, which was in sharp contrast to the embarrassment he encountered Zhao Ran when he was in Bayan Har Mountain. After the ceremony of conferring the urn, Pei Zhongze was placing wine in the room. The close brothers and sisters gathered together, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Pei Zhongze said: "I made it clear when I came here not to send any gifts, but you still gave me such a heavy gift. It really makes Brother Yu feel bad."
Zhao Ran smiled: "They are all common daily objects that can be used interchangeably."
During the banquet, Pei Zhongze sighed: "More than ten years ago, I still remember that I was lucky enough to meet Zhi Ran in a Buddhist temple. From then on, it was a smooth journey. From Taoist priest to Huang Guan, Huang Guan to Master, Master to Master. Master, when I think about it carefully, Zhi Ran can be called a noble person on my path of cultivation. Without Zhi Ran, I would not be where I am today."
