Zhao Ran's acquaintances are mainly in the upper echelons, and he is not very familiar with the low-level monks and casual cultivators in the lower classes. In this regard, Pei Zhongze has a wide range of acquaintances and is very respectable. In Changshou, Fengdu, Wushan, Huya and other places, Pei Zhongze
You can call your friends and gather a group of people to enjoy the beautiful scenery during the day and sing and talk drunkenly at night. It is really a fairy-like life.
Thanks to the prestige created by the senior brother, the reputation created by the second senior brother, and the bonus of the miracle of praying for snow at Zhengdan, Zhao Ran, the junior brother in Louguan, has also been enthusiastically sought after by these monks of the same age.
He was also very embarrassed, always being modest and prudent, and trying not to be arrogant or impetuous.
After entering Jiangxi, Pei Zhongze's entourage had no more friends on the list, so Zhao Ran took the top spot.
First, they went to Gezao Mountain to call Rong Niang down. They played in Linjiang Mansion for two days, and then the three of them went together to Raozhou. Rong Niang wanted to send Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze to the capital, and Zhao Ran pretended to be
He pretended that he was afraid that she would be tired and asked her not to send Yunyun away, but Pei Zhongze rolled his eyes and called him hypocritical.
When we arrived at Longhu Mountain, we found Ninth Girl again and asked her to pay the bill. After playing around Raozhou for two days, a Ninth Girl was added to the team. She is now the abbot of Raozhou Prefecture Taoist Palace, and
Pei Zhongze, one of Zhao Ran's batch, is also a monk who entered the Lecture Hall this year.
At the end of June, the nearly month-long trip came to an end. The four of them took a boat down the river and finally arrived in the capital.
At this point, Rong Niang reluctantly took out the Lily of the Clouds and prepared to return. Before leaving, she took out a talisman and handed it to Zhao Ran: "This talisman is called the Jade View Talisman. Put it on your body. Don't fight with others easily. You fight with others."
His abilities are not as good as those of the senior brother and the third senior brother... If there is no other way, by using this talisman, no matter what the situation, you can escape twenty or thirty miles away in an instant. Unless the great monks of Hedao can catch up, take the flower.
"
The Jade Scene Heaven Talisman is a seventh-level talisman. It is certainly not as good as the Real and Real Cave Heaven Talisman used by Duanmu Chunming in Xixia. However, among all the life-saving talismans in the Tao Sect, it is considered to be the first-class, and its preciousness is no less than the eighth-level talisman.
.
The Real and Illusive True Cave Heaven Talisman is a ninth-level divine talisman that cannot be seen under normal circumstances. In Zhengyi Talisman, the top-level talismans recognized are all eighth-level talismans, such as the Jade Scenery Talisman and the Great Sound Symbol.
Such special seventh-level talismans. The so-called special refers to rare talismans that are not recorded in Zhengyi Talisman. There are not many people who can refine them, and the exchange price between Taoist sects is also extremely expensive.
The Huang Ting Zong Zhen Shang Lei Talisman that Zhao Ran obtained from his wife, as well as the three rootless and flowerless talismans he obtained from Qing Yi, are both recorded in Zhengyi Talismans. Although they are all high-level talismans above the sixth level,
But it can't be called "top".
What Zhao Ran didn't know was that he himself had once encountered someone using the Jade Sky Talisman to escape in person, but he had never heard of this type of talisman and couldn't tell it apart.
But just hearing how to use it, Zhao Ran was very surprised. This kind of talisman is just like Senior Brother's Dayin Xisheng talisman. They are rare treasures and extremely precious. However, Rong Niang took it out so casually.
Thousands of warnings, no instructions, just "take the flowers".
Looking at the misty lily that whizzed away, Zhao Ran was stunned for a long time. It was not until Miss Ninth urged him that he turned around and entered the treasure gathering gate.
Jubaomen is a waterway into Beijing. Entering from here is the prosperous Qinhuai River. Crossing Wende Bridge along the right side can lead to the Imperial City.
The three of them strolled down the street, heading north. When they passed a Taoist palace, Miss Jiu pointed at it and said, "This is the Chaotian Palace."
Zhao Ran came to the capital seven years ago, but he was in a hurry and had no time to visit the largest city in the world, so naturally he never saw the Chaotian Palace. This was the first time he saw it, and he secretly praised it.
It is worthy of being the emperor's family temple, the first of the three palaces. In such a huge system, there are countless courtyards and palaces.
The great alchemist Zhu Xianjian, the alchemist Lan Tianyu, the great mage Wang Shouyu, the mages Fang Zheng and Fang Qing, etc. he knew were all monks in this Chaotian Palace.
Continue north along the east wall of Chaotian Palace, cross the Lotus Bridge, and see the Imperial College on the right. Further ahead, you can see a hill. This hill is the famous Jilong Mountain. It is not a big mountain, but it is quite famous. It is a Taoist temple.
The location of Lusi - Jiming Temple.
Before the Great Controversy between Buddhism and Taoism, Jiming Temple, formerly known as Jiming Temple, had more than a thousand monks. The temple was grand, majestic and resplendent. During the period of Emperor Wu of Liang a thousand years ago, it was once known as the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. Taoism conquered the Central Plains
Later, the temple was changed to a Taoist temple and the name "Cockcrow" was used. I don't know if it meant that the Taoist masters were humiliating the Buddhists.
Later, this Taoist temple became the official office of Daolu Division.
However, the Daolu Department is a very embarrassing yamen. It belongs to the Ministry of Rites in name, and has the power to confer high-level Taoist titles, issue ultimatums, and be in charge of preaching. However, with Jian Ji Guan in front of him, Dao Lu Department is destined to only accept Jian Ji Guan.
Under the jurisdiction of Jian Jiguan, it became a supernumerary deacon's room in the capital, and its functions also changed to the golden seal room, archives filing room, and court liaison room.
There is not much to do in Daolu Division. The Heavenly Master Chen Shandao who is in charge of Daolu Division also practices and handles affairs in Yuanfu Palace on Purple Mountain on a daily basis, so there is a large area of vacant buildings.
Jianji Temple wanted to build a lecture hall, so Zhang Yuanji and Chen Shandao discussed and separated more than half of the yard of Jiming Temple and put up a sign. The lecture hall became a real Taoist institution managed by the Daolu Department.
The Department of Daolu has different levels of Taoist positions such as Zhengyin, Deputy Yin, Zuozheng, Right Zheng, Zuo Yanfa, Right Yanfa, Zuo Zhiling, Right Zhiling, Zuo Xuanyi, Right Xuanyi, etc., and there are also miscellaneous
These people nominally receive food and money from the Ministry of Rites, but in fact they accept the control of Chen Shandao, the "Leading Daolu Secretary", that is, they accept the control of the Taoist sect.
The original officials of the Daolu Department were all lay officials, and some were directly appointed by officials of the Ministry of Rites with degree certificates. Such a personnel composition was definitely not feasible. It was absolutely impossible to control so many monks who came to "research".
Therefore, the general view has also been adjusted, the original main seal and deputy seal have been removed, and the practitioner has been replaced. As for who it is, Miss Jiu shook her head: "Don't look at me, even though I have participated in all the previous edicts.
, but when it comes to the specific candidates, I don’t know. That was something that my fifth uncle and Abbot Shen agreed upon, and it’s not my turn to intervene.”
Seeing that Zhao Ran was still looking at him sideways, he added: "Actually, I learned these edicts from you."
Zhao Ran asked: "Learned from me? When?"
Miss Jiu said: "Did you forget the year you formed the golden elixir? We were chatting while playing ball. Many of them were your ideas at the time. I just took them and changed them, and then suggested to my fifth uncle. Also, you were in Dajun Mountain
Opening a short training course for abbots was also adopted by my fifth uncle."
