"The Acting Headmaster is promoted to the throne!"
"Ascension to Acting Headmaster!!"
Maoshan General Altar, in Jiuxiao Palace.
On the left stood the masters of the six halls and the elders of the four halls.
On the right side stood Taoist Taoist Zhaixing, Jiu Shu, Exorcist Taoist, Sue Gu, Qian Zhenren and others.
Behind them, there are hundreds of Taoist boys wearing gray and white Taoist uniforms and holding small peach wood swords.
Accompanied by roll call.
Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Heng strode into Jiuxiao Palace.
Looking around, he looked at all the great uncles, great uncles, and great uncles. He cupped his hands and sat on the Nine Heavens Panlong Chair.
"I've met the Acting Headmaster!"
Regardless of whether it is a sixty-eighth generation old man.
He is also the master uncle of the sixty-ninth generation.
Or a disciple of the same generation who is seventy generations old.
After seeing Zhang Heng sitting down, they all praised: "The sparks are like a lantern, Maoshan has continuous good fortune, and the luck is everlasting!"
Praise: Sanqing Zhengtong ascends Qingmao, Lingbao Tianzun shines in all directions.
Praise: Patriarch Sanmao created Maoshan, and the Patriarch protected the good fortune.
Praise: Maoshan generation has talented people who have become immortals and become ancestors to protect the sect.
Praise: There are heroes who conquer demons and destroy them. Good and evil fight against each other for life.
Praise: The three rivers return to the sea, the sun, the moon and the stars, the three religions and one family, the people of heaven and earth.
Praise: I vow to prosper Maoshan and Taoism, and if they fail, I will return it to myself.
Praise: Zhengdao is divided into three mountains, one of which is Maoshan.
After the praise.
Zhang Heng led everyone to pay homage to the ancestors of all dynasties and to worship heaven and earth.
After a tedious ceremony, Zhang Heng slowly said: "Let's eat first, I've been busy all morning."
When everyone heard it, they were all happy.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. It is impossible not to eat.
Especially the little guys following behind, all teenagers, didn't feel full at all. They just finished eating and then became hungry again after a while.
"The Acting Master has given an order. The pigs and sheep are in charge today, and they are all using big shots!"
"The Acting Master has ordered that fruit wine be served today, three taels per person, only for Taoists, not Taoist boys!"
The fireworkers were shouting and it was very lively.
You know, there are more than 800 people in Maoshan right now, and they consume a lot of rice and noodles every day.
Zhang Heng was very demanding in terms of food. After all, two-thirds of the eight hundred people were Taoist boys around ten years old.
The daily diet must include pork and mutton, plus eggs and fruits.
In order to ensure nutrition, he even asked people to raise cows at the foot of the mountain, causing some Taoist boys who had just climbed up the mountain to cry: "I ran away from famine with my parents, and I didn't know the taste of rice for three days. This place is like a fairyland."
Talk about a sense of belonging, what is a sense of belonging.
"Acting Headmaster, we followed your instructions and purchased ten thousand acres of fertile land near Maoshan Mountain. Families who were willing to send their children to the mountains to learn Taoism were given ten acres of fertile land for each family, and we helped them move to the foot of Maoshan Mountain."
"Acting Headmaster, our Maoshan Mountain has recruited more than 600 Taoist children, and the newly built Taoist courtyard in the back mountain has also been built. Can we stop in this regard?"
"Acting Headmaster, we have also assembled the cable car you brought. At present, Damao Peak, Ermaofeng, Sanmaofeng and the foot of the mountain have all been connected by cable cars. Traveling is much more convenient than before."
After lunch.
Zhang Heng held an internal meeting with everyone.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhang Heng thought for a while and then said: "We will continue to buy the fertile fields near Maoshan, and we will buy them from big landowners. Don't touch the fields in the hands of ordinary people."
"In addition, we still need to continue recruiting Taoist boys. We will need many people in the future. These little Taoist boys who have been trained by us on Maoshan since childhood are undoubtedly our foundation."
"By the way, I am going to issue a Maoshan summons order to recall all Maoshan disciples, including those Huoju Taoists who have married and established a career. What do you think?"
Maoshan disciples are divided into two types.
One kind is the resident disciple, who never marries a wife or starts a family, and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the Taoism.
Xu Zhenren, Qian Zhenren, Jiu Shu, and Taoist Master Simu are all Taoist priests here.
There is also a type of Taoist Taoist who is a fire dweller who starts a family, marries a wife and has children.
For example, Qiu Sheng is now married and has his own family and children after leaving Uncle Jiu.
But he is still a disciple of Maoshan, practicing Dharma at home, and when he has nothing to do, he will also help with sacrificial activities in Shiliba Village.
Of course, what Zhang Heng wanted was not to recall people like Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, but those Huoju junior uncles who were in their forties or fifties and were of the same generation as Xu Zhenren.
Although it has been a long time since they left Maoshan, their cultivation may be far behind that of Master Xu and others.
But now that Maoshan is employing people, it would be good to recall these people and let them train more Taoist boys at the foot of the mountain.
Even if it's far away, even Qiu Sheng can do the splitting fist, so three or five people can't get in.
Staying at the foot of the mountain as a group training coach, teaching some basic knowledge and martial arts to the little Taoist boys, can be regarded as making the best use of one's talents.
"Acting Headmaster, those Fire Dwelling disciples who came down from the mountain have all gotten married and established businesses. If we let them come back, what will happen to the whole family?"
Some elders spoke hesitantly.
“Very easy to handle.”
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "The essence of life, I think, can be divided into two aspects, one is emotional needs, the other is material needs, and these two needs are inseparable from one thing, that is money."
"Emotional needs are easy to solve. Maoshan is not far from Nanjing. For Huoju Taoists who are willing to come back, Maoshan will pay for them to buy houses in Nanjing and let them move their families here."
"Nanjing is not far from Maoshan. If I don't want to live in Maoshan, I can just go home every night and come back the next day."
"The material needs are even simpler. Compared with the salary of a university professor, each person is paid 30 yuan per month. This money is enough for a family of eight to live comfortably in Nanjing and hire two nannies by the way."
"Although I don't know how those uncles who are Huoju Taoists live."
"But if you think about it, there are only a few people who have a lot of money. Most people just open a candle shop in their hometown to make ends meet. They may not be able to earn ten yuan in a month."
"Besides, I have said something ugly in front of you. Now we have an opportunity that Maoshan has never had in a thousand years."
"It's easy to come back now, but if you want to come back in the future, that's not the case. God is clear. Elders, you should think about it yourself."
Hear this.
Everyone nodded silently and started writing letters that night.
Half a month later.
Zhang Heng was startled.
There are seventy-four of Xu Zhenren’s sixty-nine generation disciples on the inheritance map alone.
There were even more named disciples who were not included in the atlas. When the roster was sent to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng calculated that there were actually 312 disciples.
But it’s normal to think about it.
After a few decades, a Taoist preaches one or two truths and names three or five people, which means he has six or seven disciples.
Zhang Heng did the statistics himself.
Of the older generation, there are still 47 people alive in Maoshan, including senior uncles and uncles.
Including the three palace masters, the five palace masters under the Sixth Highness, the elders on duty in the four palaces, and some elders.
Their cultivation level is usually very high. There are 13 people who were stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage before and have now been promoted to the Void Return stage.
down.
There are more than 300 people of senior uncle and senior uncle generation.
The one with the highest level of cultivation is Uncle Star Reacher, who has a level of cultivation in the Return to Void Realm. The others have varying degrees of cultivation, ranging from the late stage of Qi training to the completion of foundation building.
As for Zhang Heng’s generation.
There are 197 people of his age, plus 640 little Taoists.
It’s not unknown, but there are already 1,200 people in Maoshan right now. No wonder it looks much more lively than before.
"Give this list to my master and ask him and Uncle Lin Jiu to select seventy-two missionary envoys from this list. I will take them to Huangtu Realm to preach."
Zhang Heng handed the compiled list to Zou Zhaoxing, a disciple brought by the exorcist Taoist Priest.
"Yes, senior brother."
Zou Zhaoxing left with the list.
A few days later, after careful consideration, the list of seventy-two missionaries was selected.
Zhang Heng took the list and called everyone into the secret room. Looking at these uncles who were either familiar or unfamiliar, he said: "You are all my uncles, or even uncles. I shouldn't say harsh words."
"But what follows is related to our development plan for Maoshan in the next ten years, so we must pay attention to it."
"I speak to you as acting head teacher. If it comes out of my mouth and reaches the ears of everyone, anyone who dares to let outsiders know about it will be killed by five thunders!"
"Follow the decree of the Master!"
Everyone looked serious and bowed down one after another.
Zhang Heng nodded silently and waved, and Zou Zhaoxing and Xiaoyue came up with a tray. There were seventy-two yellow headbands on the tray, with the word "Mao" written in the middle of the headbands.
"I hope that in the name of practicing medicine, you will go to the major counties and villages in Huangtu Realm."
"Practice medicine during the day, lurk at night, keep a low profile, preach secretly, bypass the big city where the ghost king is sitting, and establish the Maoshan diocese by surrounding the city with counties and villages."
"To maintain confidentiality, I hired a special training instructor from the British Military Intelligence Department at a high price."
"He will teach you how to better hide yourself, build trust and avoid danger."
Zhang Heng looked around, bowed and said: "Maoshan's great cause, the rise and fall of the Huangtu community, is now in our hands. I hope all of you, uncles, will not neglect it."
Everyone made the Maoshan seal with their hands: "Respect the law and decree!"
Zhang Heng returned the gift: "Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
