Zhao Ran did go to Tianhe Palace, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Yumo's departure. As soon as he appeared in the sutra hall of Tianhe Palace, he aroused thunderous applause.
Not only Taoist priests from Tianhe Palace, White Horse Court, Spirit Snake Court, Guishou Court, Feilong Court, and the eight major deacons and above from Songfan Shifang Jungle Academy gathered in Tianhe Palace, but Jin Jiu and others also came to listen to Zhao Ran's biography.
Law.
This is a true teaching of the Dharma, not a play on the meaning of the scriptures, playing with words, nor a talk about life and ideals with everyone.
After clarifying the purpose of "sincerity is merit and goodness is virtue", Zhao Ran started a one-to-one teaching mode. He did not require everyone to become his disciples, not even named disciples, just one by one.
The visualization diagram of the ocean of merit and virtue was penetrated into their bodies, and at the same time, the first three chapters of the "Innate Merit Sutra" were taught to them, ensuring that they could practice to the yellow crown.
Even the review of character is omitted. Since they are not their disciples anyway, they don’t have to take responsibility. If something goes wrong, there will be Dongji Pavilion waiting for them.
What's more, it's hard to go wrong. If you don't do good deeds, you won't get any merit. It's up to you whether you want to practice or not. You don't need Zhao Ran to whip you to urge you. The practice itself will urge you to run forward.
Breaking into the visualization chart is not an easy task, it requires mana. Zhao Ran took this opportunity to consume a lot of it and refine it, making the Nascent Soul in his Qi Sea even whiter and fatter.
Zhao Ran's mana refining speed is extremely fast, the efficiency of consuming essence is eight times higher than before, and he is also entangled with a huge amount of merit power, so he can cast many more spells a day than ordinary people. Other refiners can cast two spells a day.
When three people cast the spell, he was able to cast it more than sixteen times. In just three days, more than forty jungle lay practitioners from ten directions entered the visualization diagram.
Songfan's preaching and governance system has always followed the guidelines of Abbot Zhao, and now it has also created a new way for officials to be included in the Taoist system. Taking Baimayuan as an example, Hongyuan County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Chief Registrar and County Captain are all
To grant an ultimatum, you must participate in the discussions of the White Horse Court, including the public recommendation meeting.
Correspondingly, the government must also unconditionally abide by the decisions made by the three capital discussions and the grand meeting of the White Horse Court.
The county magistrate participated in the deliberations of the three capitals, and the others participated in the major deliberations. From the top-level design, the government was included in the Taoist system, and the two were closely tied together.
Therefore, the second stage of the spread of the law in Tianhe Palace also included the leaders of these officials who had the right to order. Starting from Xia Ji, the governor of Western Sichuan, Yuan Hao, the secretary-general of the governor's office, to Lei Shan and other county officials.
They all got visualization pictures.
Zhao Ran spent five days in Tianhe Palace, casting spells for seventy-two people, leading them on the path of spiritual practice. Unfortunately, Zhao Ran's own merit power was huge, and a large amount of merit power had not yet entered his body, otherwise he would have sensed the power of seventy-two people.
Twelve powerful merits became his "result" - introducing people to Taoism is also a great merit.
Among these seventy-two people, how many will eventually stand out, or whether all of them will be promoted, can only depend on individual efforts.
On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, Zhao Ran returned to Dajun Mountain to show his face, had a meal with his master and his bride, and continued his busy work of teaching the Dharma.
He came to the Hongyuan garrison again and injected the visualization diagram of the ocean of merit and virtue into the bodies of all the officers of more than a hundred households, including the garrison Ning Deshou, and his named disciple Song Xiong.
Song Xiong is now one of the 100 households in the garrison, and his cultivation level is at the level of a Taoist priest. For a person with a solid foundation but no qualifications, this is the upper limit of his cultivation.
With the practice of merit power, another door of practice has been opened for him. What kind of achievements can be achieved depends on his own efforts.
At the Hongyuan garrison, after Zhao Ran entered the visualization diagram for twenty-three officers with more than 100 households, he also gave them instructions on how to practice. The army and the government are different. They need to fight and kill for many years. Their merits
Where is it?
Zhao Ran pointed out that soldiers also have merits and virtues. Their merits lie in protecting their home and country, in their bloodshed and sacrifice, in their selfless dedication regardless of personal safety, and in their deep love for the common people.
As long as you always carry your Taoism, your family and your country on your shoulders, and keep the people in your heart, merit will come naturally.
In order to encourage these officers to practice well, Zhao Ran taught them to sing a military song in vernacular on the spot: "Maybe I say goodbye and will never come back. Do you understand? Do you understand? Maybe I fall and never get up again."
…”
While singing, the eyes of all the officers who had been fighting on the front line for many years were red, and many of them shed tears.
Afterwards, Zhao Ran accepted Song Xiong as a formal disciple, ranking third in the order of entry. He was the first to join Zhao Ran's sect, but now he can only occupy the last position among the disciples. This is also a matter of nature and cannot be forced.
Then, Zhao Ran went to the Songfan Guard Camp in the Chewa Valley and entered the visualization map for more than 60 officers with more than 100 households, followed by the Anqu Guards Station.
Passing through Hongyuan, Zhao Ran also held a Dharma teaching lecture for his old subordinates, and introduced Zhou Huai, Lin Yuwen, Jiang Zhuzi, Zhang Wu, Tiejie Longsan, Baozhong, Zhang Wujin and others to enter the practice.
Throughout September, Zhao Ran worked on entering visualization maps for Songfan's local Taoist sects, military camps, government officials, etc., and cast spells more than 200 times in total.
When he returned to Maharaja Mountain in early October, his face looked a little haggard, and Rong Niang was so distressed that she immediately took out the tonic and gave it to him to take. At the same time, she used dual cultivation techniques to help him recover. It took seven consecutive days of cultivation to regain his strength and become full of energy again.
Abbot Zhao's teachings in Tianhe Palace caused a sensation in the jungles and the government of the Song Dynasty, and thus spread to Zongguan. In mid-October, just as Zhao Ran was preparing to return to Yingtian after his wedding vacation, he received the imperial edict of flying talismans from Zongguan.
Let him go to Jinji Peak to explain the situation.
Wouldn't this be a repeat of accepting the General View's edict to cooperate with the investigation ten years ago? Zhao Ran quickly flew a talisman to ask Zhenren Zhou and Zhenren Xu. The two real masters told him not to worry. The Zhenshi Hall did just understand the situation and let him
Let go of worries.
Rong Niang has packed her luggage, and the two of them will first go to Jinji Peak Cave Heaven to report to the Zhenshi Hall, and then transfer to Yingtian. In the next few years, Rong Niang will marry and follow the chicken, and there will be no blessed place in the cave to live. Fortunately,
Jilong Mountain has been well transformed by Zhao Ran and can meet the needs of normal practice. If you need to retreat, there is also Qixia Mountain available, so there is no need to worry.
The clouds and lilies were flying in the air. Zhao Ran looked at the mountains and rivers at his feet and thought silently. Seeing that he was silent, Rong Niang comforted him: "Don't worry, if the True Master Hall dares to make things difficult for you, we will never give up."
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about the inquiries from the True Master Hall. What I did was out of public interest and was a good thing for the Taoist sect. They just wanted to know the inside story."
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering, who refined your flying magic weapons? Can the Yunmai Lily be dismantled and let Cai Yunshen, Guo Zhiwei and Long Qingwei study it to see if it can be mass-produced?"
