Chapter 38 Jindan Lu Zhiyu (Blessing Xiaoguang in Wolong Pavilion)
In the fifth year of Longqing's reign, the world's trust reached 2.26 billion, an increase of one billion from ten years ago. This is an astonishing achievement and can be called a miracle in the development of Taoism's trust.
South Zhili has surpassed Huguang and ranks second among the 13 provinces in the two capitals, second only to Jiangxi. And judging from its trend, it is very likely to rank first in three years. Therefore, the construction of the two Yangtze River Bridges in Jiujiang and Wuchang is
It has become the most urgent matter for the two governments and even the two provinces.
Zhao Ran often discussed the construction of the bridge with the Fu brothers Fei Fu. He learned from the two brothers that the rare cooperation between the two provincial highway gates and the government, without any shirk, greatly shortened the construction process of the bridge. According to the project progress,
The Wuchang Bridge is expected to be completed by the end of May, and the Jiujiang Bridge will not be delayed past July.
The Fu brothers claimed that they must have a good rest after completing the work, and Zhao Ran supported this. He planned to give the two brothers a month's rest, and then, during his free time for more than half a year, he prepared a plan: five years
Huaihe River Control Project.
It comes with a blueprint of the Chongqing Yangtze River Bridge. The Fu brothers don’t need to worry about this bridge. The two brothers have three apprentices, who are Zhao Ran’s nominal disciples. The eldest of the three has already become a master. Zhao
Ran was going to discuss with Sun Zhenren to draw a team from the growing team of construction monks of Daomen Construction Corporation to form the Third Construction Bureau under the Corporation, led by this "big disciple", to build the Chongqing Yangtze River Bridge.
Of course, this is all for later, everything will have to wait for the completion of the two bridges in Jiujiang and Wuchang.
Looking back, Ying Tian's trustworthiness still ranks first among all the governments in the world, which makes Zhao Ran very pleased.
In the Donghai Governor-General, the trustworthiness of the ninety-six Taoist temples has been compiled for the first time. This number is 3.8 million, more than four times that of the fourth year of Longqing. Zhao Ran knows that this is not final yet
According to stable statistics, the Donghai Governor-General is expected to build 138 Taoist temples. In two years, the credibility of the Donghai Governor-General will exceed 6 million.
Gao Li's trust continues to grow rapidly and has reached 6.5 million. Zhao Ran estimates that Lu Zhiyu is likely to become the first Shifang Jungle monk among the disciples to break through the golden elixir - even surpassing the emperor.
, because his power as the imperial master of Goryeo was too great.
Sure enough, just after February, Lu Zhiyu traveled thousands of miles to pay homage to the mountain.
For this friend whom he met in Lizhou more than ten years ago, Zhao Ran did not look down on him because of his improvement in practice and status. He always maintained the same friendship as before.
The main reason for respecting him from the bottom of their hearts is that they consider him one of their own.
Regarding Lu Zhiyu, Zhao Ran also adhered to the same method and attitude of dealing with him in the past. He held his hands tightly, led him into the mountain gate, and found a seat to talk in the heaven and earth.
"Your rules in Lizhou need to be changed. The handshake is too strong. With your skills, you will have to break other people's hands in the future."
Lu Zhiyu laughed loudly and said: "You can't change. I would rather cut off your hand than forget your roots."
Zhao Ran had already noticed Lu Zhiyu's cultivation level during the handshake, and said curiously: "You are a mountain man from Lizhou. You are rich in energy and can shame 99% of people. You can refine the power of merit very quickly. This
I’m not surprised at all, but what I’m curious about is, what exactly did you do in Goryeo to accumulate so much merit?”
Lu Zhiyu said: "I should just follow what you did, abbot, and make some changes according to local conditions after moving there. After I went there with a few Taoist friends, I spent a year and a half to open up the Taoist palace, Taoist courtyard and Taoist temple.
, dilapidated repairs, missing repairs, repairs and new construction of sixty-nine buildings. King Shunhuai was very supportive and gritted his teeth to plunk down the money. Just by doing this, the power of merit pushed me into the yellow crown."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Building a dojo is a great merit."
Lu Zhiyu continued: "In the past two years, I relied on 380 monasteries in various places to build Huiminji Medical Center and Charity Fund Asylum. With these two things, Huang Guan has been successful. I also want to thank the abbot for his help.
, Huiminji Medical Center and charity funds can provide people with money to go to Goryeo to do these things. Of course, I also forced King Shunhuai to spend more than 600,000 silver. But King Shunhuai was very satisfied and he also joined
He has reached the realm of Taoist priests."
Zhao Ran asked: "What are your next plans?"
Lu Zhiyu said: "We are going to raise funds to make small loans to farmers, which is the old money for young crops. This thing has great merits. Once it is promoted throughout Goryeo, the merits of my golden elixir period will be there. The premise is that the abbot can accept it
I am a disciple, haha."
Zhao Ran said: "It is difficult to make money for young people, so you must be prepared for a struggle."
Lu Zhiyu grinned: "King Shunhuai has already agreed. I told him to be prepared to kill people. If I don't kill more than a dozen big families and exile dozens or hundreds of dog officials, I won't be able to win this merit. So I'm still preparing this time
Please tell me, abbot, if you can make a promise to the commanders of the Koryo Fifth Army Camp and the Third Nei Hall so that they can also have the opportunity to practice?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "If I can control the military power in your hands, I can give you this promise. After the success of the promotion of Qingmiao Money, I can bring these people to Maharaja Mountain."
Lu Zhiyu said happily: "That's great!"
The welcoming pine tree that manages the world of heaven and earth brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Lu Zhiyu's table. Zhao Ran said: "If Taoist brother Zhiyu doesn't dislike it, I will teach him the golden elixir method."
Lu Zhiyu understood immediately, and solemnly kowtowed to Zhao Ran and offered tea. Zhao Ran held him up with a smile, and along the way, he introduced the golden elixir method of the Merit Sutra into his consciousness.
After teaching the golden elixir method, Zhao Ran said again: "Although we are called masters and disciples, we are still good friends. Don't be cautious when we get along."
Lu Zhiyu nodded: "Understand, this is what is meant by being both a teacher and a friend, right?"
Zhao Ran asked Ma Gong to lead Lu Zhiyu to find a quiet room for retreat. Within half a day, Lu Zhiyu came out of the retreat and the golden elixir was completed!
After leaving seclusion, Zhao Ran took him to see his elder sister Suchuan Yao, who had been in Jindan for half a year, and to meet Jiang Tenghe, Zhao Liniang, Lin Zhijiao, Wei Zhizhen and many other elders.
Lu Zhiyu was very straightforward and said to Zhao Ran: "Before coming to Dajun Mountain, I first went to Lizhou to see my former colleagues. Zheng Supervisor and Lan Supervisor all missed the abbot, well, they missed the teacher... They hoped that I could transfer the teacher to him.
Please go to Lizhou, drink a few more glasses of Lizhou water and wine, and see the medicinal fields that the teacher has opened in Shuihe. It would be best to teach them the Dharma again."
Zhao Ran immediately agreed: "Forget it, I have time now, so I'll go see these old friends."
He just left and summoned Taoist Nangui and Master Wuse. Zhao Ran took Lu Zhiyu to experience the flight journey of an immortal cultivator and rushed to Lizhou to meet up with old friends.
After seven days of continuous banquets, Lizhou comrades were frightened by Zhao Ran's drinking, so they stopped the banquet and invited Zhao Ran to give a lecture.
