So far, the targets of Zhao Ran's teachings are Songfan, Dufu, Long'an, Tongchuan, Lizhou, Yingtianfu Shifang Jungle, Wenchangguan and Xuanyuanguan senior officials, as well as important ministers of third rank and above who participated in the court meeting, and also
Some acquaintances and friends came to visit individually, totaling nearly 4,000 people, and it took four and a half years.
If it is calculated that all of them will be crowned in six years, these people will spend 300 million credit points, an average of 50 million per year. Judging from the current total credit amount of just over 2 billion, it is still within the affordable range.
But if we continue like this, it will cost 100 million per year when there are 8,000 people, and 200 million per year when there are 16,000 people. This is a bit unbearable. And there are 70,000 people in Shifang Jungle.
Taoist priests who often receive ultimatums will definitely not work if they continue like this.
Zhao Ran asked Xuanyuan's old boss, Zhao Yunlou, who had been in the prison for nine years, and said, "Is the old prison always well? Have you been free recently? Zhiran wants to come and see the old prison."
Zhao Yunlou was also entered into the visualization chart by Zhao Ran. He has been practicing for four and a half years and just entered the Huangguan realm last year. With his power, it is very easy and efficient to harvest merit power, but his problem is that he is too old.
The Jingyuan cannot keep up with the progress of cultivation. At this age, he does not dare to use strong medicine to replenish the Jingyuan. He can only recuperate slowly, so he can only practice slowly. Zhao Ran estimates that Zhao Yunlou can cultivate to Huang Guan.
The realm is already at its peak, and the golden elixir is basically hopeless for him.
However, the Huangguan Realm can guarantee a healthy life of at least eighty years old, free from disease and pain. If you take good care of yourself, you can even live to ninety or even a hundred years old. This is especially important for an old man who has just started practicing in his seventies.
Say, it's pretty good.
Zhao Yunlou immediately replied to Zhao Ran: "Welcome Zhiran, come over quickly and drink with me."
Zhao Ran immediately set off for Xuanyuan Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. When the Taoist monk returned to the south and landed at the foot of Zhangren Peak, Xuanyuan Temple opened the middle gate. Zhao Yun Tower of the Supervisory Palace, Du Tenghui, Du Teng'en, and Feng Tengchuan, the chef of the capital, led more than eight deacons.
Gao Dao was waiting in front of the temple.
Pilgrims lined up in a long queue and continued to enter through the side door. Countless pairs of eyes stared at them curiously. When someone recognized the person as Immortal Master Zhao Zhiran, everyone kowtowed to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran quickly waved to the pilgrims and entered Xuanyuan Temple amidst a burst of greetings. He had a private visit and had no official business, so everyone found a side hall to meet.
Zhao Yunlou said: "Master Dongfang is in the Jade Emperor Pavilion cave in the back mountain. Young Master is in the temple. Do you want me to fly my talisman and invite him to come with me?"
After Jian Ji Guan ordered the jungles in all directions of the world and implemented the policy of appointing monks as abbots, according to the three-step five-year plan, Dongfang Jing had assumed the post of abbot of Xuanyuan Guan the year before last. He only presided over major fasts and ceremonies.
He rarely showed up, especially after Zhao Yunlou and other lay disciples were promoted to Taoist priests one after another and were able to host effective fasting rituals, so they came even less.
From this perspective, at least in Sichuan Province and Southern Zhili, the policy of entering the jungles of the ten directions for monks has just been completed, and they are already facing the dilemma of falling behind. There is no other reason. The situation has changed.
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "No need to bother you, senior brother. I came to Xuanyuan Temple just to visit you and catch up with you. If you have any questions about practice, we can discuss them together."
These few people had been waiting for a long time, so they talked about the problems in their practice one by one, discussed how to refine the power of merit, and even how to obtain greater power of merit. Of course, the issue of Jingyuan is also the focus. These few people at this age are all
He is too young to dare to take the essence and blood of the black-armored turtle, otherwise he will die after just one bowl, so he can only think of other ways.
The situation is slightly better for Du Tenghui and Lu Tengen. They are just in their early sixties and can use slightly stronger tonics. Zhao Ran expects them to break through the golden elixir. Feng Tengchuan and Zhao Yunlou are much older.
He will soon be seventy, seventy-eight, which is the end of the Huangguan realm.
However, Zhao Ran would not say these words openly. He still wished all the "old seniors" to form elixirs as soon as possible.
After completing a small-scale Taoist teaching class, Zhao Ran asked: "I wonder what the Xuanyuan Guan Preaching Research Laboratory is like?"
No one expected that Zhao Ran would ask about this department. After several senior officials of Xuanyuan Guan looked at each other, the manager Lu Teng'en said carefully: "It's still the same people, led by Yue Tengzhong and Nie Zhishen. Really speaking, they
It has been done well, and the ideological changes have also been obvious. I have put aside the unrealistic ideas in the past, and carefully summarized many good ideas and measures for making merit. In the past two years, the people of Sichuan Province have lived a stable life and believed in
Their power has grown steadily, and they have also contributed a lot. After all, they are relatively thorough in Taoist theory, and they can also use their expertise in the preaching research room..."
Zhao Ran smiled, knowing that they had misunderstood him and thought he was going to retaliate, so he said: "That's it. After I resigned and returned to Sichuan, all the state capitals invited me to go to the countryside, preach the Dharma, and tell the truth.
I'm afraid it won't work if I pass it on like this. Firstly, I have limited energy, and secondly, the efficiency of teaching is not very high. I plan to make a rule that those who want to learn meritorious practices in the future must first pass the exam. What is the test? I
I want to set up a creative writing group and write these things out as the basis for the exam. I have also been in contact with Yue Tengzhong and Nie Zhishen before. Their articles and Taoist theory are very good. If possible, can you use the sermons in Guanli
The research office lent it to me to help me compile the entrance examination materials? It won't take much time, it will only take about three to five months."
Zhao Yunlou nodded immediately: "Zhiran is open-minded and does not care about past grudges. He really has the demeanor of a Taoist scholar. Teng En, what do you think?"
Lu Tengen said: "This is a good thing, I will go and talk to them."
Yue Tengzhong and Nie Zhishen were both obstacles to Zhao Ran when he was in charge of the White Horse Court. Later, they were moved by Ye Yunxuan to the Xuanyuan Guan Evangelistic Affairs Research Office, and they were freed from the danger of retaliation. Although the two sides were not on the right track back then, Zhao Ran
However, he still admired the character of these two people. In order to get rid of the two stumbling blocks, he organized a behind-the-scenes investigation of Yue Tengzhong and Nie Zhishen, but no major problems were found, which made him very depressed.
.
Later, the Ye Yunxuan case broke out, and seven Taoist priests with important positions in Xuanyuan Temple were found. It was called the Ye Yunxuan Group's nest case at the time. To Zhao Ran's surprise, Yue Tengzhong and Nie Zhishen were still not in it, leaving him with
A deep impression.
Zhao Ran has always used talents in an eclectic way, and now that he is in need, he naturally thinks of these two. Of course, there are a lot of talents with profound theoretical knowledge available in Shifang Jungle, but they basically hold important positions, such as those at Jianji Guanjing Hall
Sutra-researchers, such as Jiang Zhibiao, who is still a senior official in Xuantan Palace and the editor-in-chief of "Inside and Outside the Imperial City", etc. However, these people are in important positions. It is not easy for him to be openly recruited as a retired monk. Therefore,
He took aim at an idle non-staff organization like the Xuanyuan Guan Missionary Affairs Research Office.
