Zhao Ran¡¯s proposal caused the true masters to think deeply. Each of the three reasons was very sufficient and convincing, especially the third one.
Although the monks who entered were all monks who had reached the longevity limit, when they passed away varied from person to person, and there was no clear time point. For example, Liu Yunyi lived for thirteen more years.
The Dao Sect has transported seventy-two monks into the Chaos Immortal Realm. Although they can come out to join the battle if necessary, it cannot be realized in the short term. The weakening of high-end strength is self-evident. If more high-end Buddhist monks can be sent in at the same time, Several of them play an important role in the balance of power between Buddhism and Taoism.
But how many places are appropriate? This issue was not resolved on the spot. After everyone came down, they started full exchanges in Lushan.
Duanmu Chongqing, Tieguan Taoist, and Tao Zhongwen were the first batch of Hedao monks who were preparing to go to the Chaos Immortal Realm to inspect the innate spiritual treasures. When Zhao Ran sent them down to Lushan Mountain, he asked: "When will Lao Yuezu ascend?"
Duanmu Chongqing said: "Originally I was planning to leave in these two years, but I feel that I still have twenty years left, so I plan to hold on for a while. The strength of high-end monks in Buddhism has grown rapidly in recent years. If I leave early, others will The pressure on these fellow Taoists is heavy. Just hold on as long as you can."
Tao Zhongwen and Taoist Tieguan both have forty years to live, so they are not in a hurry. Zhao Ran is very grateful for this: "With a few people to protect them, the development of our Taoist sect will be worry-free."
Duanmu Chongqing added: "Now it depends on Sun Biyun and Xu Yun'ao. They have been in seclusion at the same time for more than a year, and I don't know what happened."
The three of them rushed to the Demon Hell Sea, but Zhao Ran was still in Lushan, discussing the pros and cons of increasing quotas for Buddhism with the real masters, and the discussion was very lively.
What really prompted Zhenshitang to agree to increase the quota was a letter of credence from Xixia, signed by the country's leader Li Qianshun and signed by Tianlongyuan. The letter of credence states that in order to thank Daomen and Ming Dynasty for their goodwill towards Buddhism and Xixia, and for their life-saving virtues towards the three Buddhist monks, from now on, the Xia army in the three directions of Baihe, Ruoergai and Heishui City will unilaterally retreat ten miles .
This move was quite beautiful. Zhao Ran didn¡¯t know what to say except that he was very angry.
The performance of Buddhism certainly touched the true masters, and they finally passed the decision to increase the number of Buddhist monks during the meeting. Within five years, the ratio of Buddhist monks admitted to the Chaos Immortal Realm would be increased to five to one, that is, for every five Taoist monks admitted, one would be allowed. A Buddhist monk moved in.
After such a calculation, based on the current number, Buddhism can send at least ten people in.
In addition to Xia Jun retreating ten miles, Tianlongyuan also sent a wish. Xingqing Mansion will hold an exhibition of calligraphy works by mountain guests in April. Xia Guo invited Master Hongfa to attend in person and guaranteed his absolute safety.
Zhao Ran was a great calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty. He was famous both at home and abroad for his mountain guest pen writing, and was especially popular in Xixia. Of course, holding an exhibition of his works was a gimmick. The real purpose of inviting him to visit Xingqing was to discuss the possibility of opening up the border market on a large scale. This was confirmed by Gao Yanei and Mingjue who brought their credentials.
If it were two years ago, it would have been impossible for Zhao Ran to visit Xixia, but now that the gate has been stabilized by the Hunyuan Heavenly Spiritual Light Formation, Zhao Ran's absolute importance has dropped a lot, and both parties have already After several cooperations, three Buddhist monks successfully settled in the Chaos Fairyland. There is a certain possibility of a visit at this moment.
After consideration, Zhao Ran expressed his willingness to visit the True Master Hall and received the negotiation bottom line granted by the True Master Hall.
On the sixth day of April, Dongfangli replied to Gao Yanei and Mingjue that Zhenshitang discussed Xixia's invitation and believed that if conditions were suitable, Zhenren Hongfa could consider whether to visit.
After receiving this reply, the two immediately returned to Xingqing and made detailed reports to the court and Tianlongyuan respectively.
On April 20th, Xixia officially issued its credentials and invited Master Hongfa to visit.
Zhao Ran was currently handling official business in Jian Jiguan and happily accepted the invitation from Tianlong Academy.
In mid-May, Dongfang Li went to Xingqing to discuss the procedures and details of Zhao Ran¡¯s visit and to clear the way for the visit.
Unlike thirty-five years ago, when Zhao Ran returned the Xuanci Hongti, the nature of the task and his identity were not comparable to those now. That time could be called an envoy, but this time it should be called an envoy. For a visit.
This is the first visit and exchange between the highest decision-makers in the Ming and Xia Dynasties in more than 600 years, and its significance cannot be overestimated.
There are many issues that need to be negotiated by Oriental Rites, including reception specifications, visit itinerary, accommodation arrangements, discussion matters, entourage, security, etc. In addition, the most important matter must be discussed in advance, which is the establishment of large-scale border inspections. Specific content - the real contract is all done in advance.Once the draft is completed, the contract will be signed directly when the time comes for the trip, or at most a few aspects will be changed.
A large number of matters are completed by the Dongfang Li team. His negotiation team is composed of practical elites, including Wang Wusen, a magic expert from Jiuzhou Pavilion, Taoist Mingyue, the deacon of Baojing Pavilion who is good at finding chapters and excerpts, and Qu Feng, the elder of Zongsheng Pavilion. He, Shi Weiming, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Jian Jiguan left messages on their inspection tour
The negotiation process was long, and Zhao Ran was staying at the Zongsheng Hall, waiting for news about the negotiations between the Dongfang Li team of Xingqing Mansion. While waiting, he was also doing his part.
Starting from this year, Zhao Ran no longer has to personally teach the Dharma to the Shifang Jungle. The method of teaching Dharma has also changed from centralized to dispersed in various provinces. This is the twenty-fifth year of his large-scale teaching, and the number of meritorious monks who have broken through to the master level has exceeded twenty. After Jian Jiguan's appointment adjustment, it is guaranteed that at least one master in each province is in charge. Therefore, this year, each of the one hundred Shifang Jungle monks who passed the examination in each province will be taught by the practitioners from each province. For example, this year, one hundred people in Sichuan received the teachings from Song Zhiyuan, the supervisor at Xuanyuan Temple.
Zhao Ran didn't give up completely. He still opened a Dharma teaching class in the lecture hall, but this class was relatively advanced. It consisted of sixteen monks who entered the realm of alchemists this year. Zhao Ran passed on the empowerment chain to them and allowed them to take disciples. .
In addition to training, he also taught Dharma to more than a hundred households in the army on a large scale. This area was relatively sensitive and other training disciples did not dare to touch it, so Zhao Ran could only go into battle in person. It only took Zhao Ran half a month to complete the three hundred hundred households and the trial one hundred households. His proficiency in teaching the method was getting higher and higher.
With this free time, seeing that nothing happened, he simply closed himself up in Beidaotang, and by the way, he warmed up the Nascent Soul in the sea of ??spiritual power and raised the Yang Shen, and began to "nurture" the little Nascent Soul in the sea of ??spiritual power.
The last time the sea of ??merit, power and energy "nurtured" the Nascent Soul, it took nine years for the Nascent Soul to harmonize with the deity internally and externally. This time, his deity was sixty-two years old. It was more difficult for the Nascent Soul in the sea of ??spiritual power and Qi, but there are those in the chaotic fairyland. Seventy-five high-level practitioners practiced for him, which was a piece of cake.
Zhao Ran, who had become another great master, did not make any fuss and quietly left the barrier. Then, he received the news that Sun Biyun broke through and successfully advanced to Hedao.
