The spring is strong, but after passing through several courtyards, we arrived at the depths of Baopu Taoist Courtyard, and in the courtyard decorated with only a few green bamboos, it seemed to become lighter.

Around the tea table made of wooden boats, five Taoists sat.

Among them, the two Taoists who wash tea sets and make tea are the masters, the Taoists of Baopu Taoist Court, and the other three people come from Sanyuan Temple, Chongzhen Temple, and Qingyuan Temple.

These Taoist temples, including Baopu Taoist Temple, belong to the unborn school in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Even if you are not keen on fame and fortune, nor are you keen on helping the world, but only care about self-cultivation and character cultivation.

These Taoists in Baopu Taoist Court do not usually call their own Taoist names, but only call their own nicknames.

For example, the Taoist who washed tea sets at this time was called Jinshi Jushi. He was obsessed with seal carving and carving on weekdays. He was also famous among the nobles because he was good at elegant carving. Some precious jade and seal materials could immediately show a very elegant charm if he carved a few knife marks on his hands.

Another Taoist who makes tea is called Qingquan Sanren. This person likes to study the knowledge of making tea in spring water the most in daily life.

During the day, he took different spring water to cook tea at different times. The aroma of tea leaves and the clearness of spring water, and it was easy for people to talk to each other after two cups.

At this time, the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the Tiandao Ceremony had just issued all the Taoist sect practice places, Sanyuan Temple, Chongzhen Temple, and Qingyuan Palace, and other Taoists also rushed to Baopu Taoist Temple to discuss with the two.

"Qingquan people will hold the Tiantian Ceremony in two days. This is the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If the Taoist leader is truly respected and has a lot of expectations, then we will have nothing to say. But the emperor directly recommended Gu Shiwu to send him to the shelves, which is tantamount to driving a duck to put it on the shelves. I was thinking about whether there could be any way to make this son embarrassed in public and feel ashamed." Taoist Tongyou of Chongzhen Palace frowned and said.

Qingquan Sanren's face was pale and wore a linen robe, with a clear face, and looked no angry at all. He heard this and just smiled slightly and said, "I don't think this is a duck to be put on the shelves. First there was a Black Shawar, then the Canglang Sword Sect's sword competition, and then the Yang family's life sacrifice and evil formation formation array was broken. Chonglong's ability is extremely high, and I am beyond my reach. Moreover, Changsun Wuji was the first to do the game, and now Li family adds fuel to the fire. Chongming has suffered a lot in the matter of Wuji Temple. With his means, if you want to deliberately make him look ugly at the Universal Festival, you may not be able to save your head."

The lay Buddhist Jinshi also nodded seriously and said, "I see this person's method, standard kindness and power, and his decisive behavior. How do you compare to the Boling Cui family? Did you forget the night when Chang'an was in full swing? This person has already given all of us Daozong Xuanmen a warning in the matter of Chongming. If anyone can't see the situation again, it will definitely not be able to pass the test like Chongming."

As soon as this statement was made, the Taoists in the three places of Sanyuan Temple, Chongzhen Temple, and Qingyuan Palace sighed. Could it be that they could only welcome them if they were successful?

"Why have to go against him explicitly?"

Qingquan Sanren smiled and said, "Actually, fellow Taoists might as well think about it. In fact, we don't have to do anything, so it will be difficult for him to come to Taiwan. This is probably impossible to complete the Great Ceremony."

Taoist Tongyou was slightly stunned, "How can I explain this?"

Qingquan Sanren smiled and said, "Fellow Taoists, the last time our Taoist sect's ceremony was when the Daozong was prosperous in the Sui Dynasty. At that time, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty was only willing to spend money on himself and the Daozong. When he held this Taoist sect, it was extravagant. He even burned more than a dozen carts of spices, which was full of fragrance. But think about it, even if all the officials flattered the emperor and tried their best to do it, and there was no shortage of money, this Taoist sect took a month to prepare. Now in two or three days, even if Li and Gu Shiwu had the ability to reach the heavens, no matter how powerful it was, except for the Taoist sects in Chang'an and Luoyang, where could there be time to send people to the Daozong Xuanmen in various prefectures in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes." Tong You and others were all overjoyed and said, "Even if we do nothing, as long as we are sick, we will count the seats in the past two days. Once we count them, there are only a few people who respond to the Tiantian Grand Ceremony, and we may be killed."

At this time, the lay Buddhist Jinshi also said slightly, "The main rituals of the Tiantian Grand Ceremony include burning incense, opening the altar, asking for water, raising banners, purging the list, filth, asking for saints, summoning stars, placing the stars, placing the banners, sending the saints, etc. There are not enough people going to the Taoist temple in the city, and these rituals are not enough, let alone some practical rituals such as saving people, saving suffering, breaking prisons, and good lamps."

Qingquan Sanren sighed and said, "Registering today will start. If you can arrange the manpower tomorrow and start the drill, the time will be a little rushed. In fact, I would like to advise you fellow Taoists, if this son can arrange things tomorrow, it would be better to truly regard him as the leader of the Tao."

Tongyou and others nodded.

This is still the case where no one interferes with it.

Even if the Taoist temples in the city think the same as them, isn’t there any view of depravity and some hidden Taoist sects?

How could this be necessary for them to deliberately embarrass the young man?

After saying that the Qingquan Mountain Man and the Jinshi Layman, Tongyou and others were in a good mood. They felt that most of the Great Ceremony of the World Heaven. Perhaps if Gu Shiwu showed that he was unable to restrain the Taoist sect, the position of Taoist sect might not be able to be maintained.

However, after eating together at noon, the situation suddenly changed. As the latest news came, not to mention Tongyou and others, even Qingquan Sanren and Jinshi Jushi changed their faces.

It turns out that it is not that Gu Shiwu is too young, but that they are too young.

First of all, there is no shortage of people who preside over the Great Ceremony.

This ceremony of the Universal Heaven will not only not be done hastily, but will be held in full and forty-nine days according to the rituals.

However, according to the exact news, the process of these instruments has been changed under the will of the Dao Shou, and some of the many beneficial instruments that were originally ranked behind were ranked first.

Burn incense and open the altar. After the ceremony, the branch hall will be given a flag. First, the branch hall will be opened, the branch hall will be extended, and the branch hall will be given to the people, the prolonging life, and the main theme of the first seven days is to cure diseases, expel evil spirits and prolong life. It is to distribute talisman water, apply medicine, and teach some health methods to prolong life on the spot!

Qingquan Sanren was stunned when he heard it.

Isn’t this the one that Taipingdao wins people’s hearts?

Isn’t this just giving benefits to the people in Chang’an, giving medicine and talisman water, so how can this dip in the sky be deserted?

The steps of those branches may be broken.

The Taoist leader will first disperse wealth when he comes to power.

After Taiping Road, only Wudou Rice Sect dared to do this.

But now Gu Shiwu has done this.

It is estimated that among the main officials of the branch, there are many demons from Taipingdao whom he just subdued!

As for the employment of other places, what they unexpectedly did was that Gu Liubai had Shishan Academy and a large number of Youzhou students, and it was said that Li transferred a group of soldiers from outside the city to come.

All of these people have been banned from Taoism!

Everyone knows that Li will not allow so many people to enter Taoist priesthood, but the key is that as long as you pass this great ceremony, who will retain Taoist priest and who will remove Taoist priest? Isn’t it enough to do something secretly?

The great viewpoints such as Baiyun Temple and Xuandu Temple have already been dispatched, and the emperor's order has been issued to various states through the post station. After the universal ceremony begins, Taoist sects from various states will still come continuously.

In other words, at most ten days later, there will be no shortage of personnel in this Tiantian Grand Ceremony.

But the most shocking thing is not these emergency measures.

Instead, there has been a clear news that the Taoist leader has formulated the Dao Zong rituals with the priest. In the future, all things in the Dao Zong will be recorded like the military and will be rewarded according to merit.

The military has made military achievements, and the Daozong has also made achievements!

In other words, the status of each sect in the future depends not on the size of each sect, whether its history is long, how many books are collected, and how many practitioners are, but on how many achievements these sects have made for the Tang Dynasty!

The fiefs, fertile fields, and even Taoist temples that may belong to each Dao Sect must be adjusted.

That's not bad!

This has completely changed the world!

In particular, there seems to be another point. Even if the gentry and wealthy businessmen want to subsidize Taoist temples, they cannot give them as they do in the past. They must establish a Taoist temple for the Dao Sect after the Great Ceremony, and must be assigned through the Dao Sect ruling.

What's even more terrifying is that the Dao Sect's ruling has already spoken through some people, and the selection of candidates for the Dao Sect's ruling office is also based on the participation and efforts of each Dao Sect this time.

In other words, this Tiantian Festival also records the achievements.

Assign candidates to the Daozong ruling office according to their merits rather than the size of the Taoist temple.

Tongyou and others were like ants on a hot pan, and they immediately ran away.

Not only do you have to attend the meeting, but you have to go back and discuss how to make some achievements.

Qingquan Sanren and Jinshishanren suddenly felt that the tea was no longer fragrant and Qingquan had no taste.

They are not in conflict with the world, and they ask themselves that they are idle people and do not compete for fame and fortune, so they are just watching dramas and have the best mentality.

The result is so good now. I watched the show and saw myself.

The changes in the Dao Sect clearly show that they are the ones who are bullied the most.

Feeling targeted.

But there is no way for them to do this kind of Taoist sacredness.

They knew very well that as long as the Taoist temples like them were not protected by Li, they were indeed the best bullies among all Taoist temples in Chang'an and Luoyang.

People like them were originally very popular among rich people in the city, and they were not short of funding. They had good land in Taoism.

Just collect rent, and you don’t have to bear taxes from merchants in the city.

But with such changes, their Taoist temple is the easiest to be taken away from the fertile land that is rewarded, and if even the funding cannot be reached, then this Taoist temple will drink the northwest wind?

The Jinshishanren looked at Qingquan Sanren with a sad face, "Senior Brother, we probably have to think of ways to accumulate some achievements in this great ceremony in the world."

Qingquan Sanren also had the urge to vomit blood, "What do we do? Why don't we make more tea and give more free tea?"

At this time, the two of them knew in their hearts that most of the Xuanmen of the Dao Sect in Chang'an did not regard Gu Liubai as their own person, but Gu Liubai did not regard these Xuanmen of the Dao Sect as their own person!
Chapter completed!
