Chapter 128: For the sake of sixty-one fellow Taoists
Zhao Ran's words silenced all the true masters of the True Master Hall. Master Zhou immediately expressed his position: "Zhi Ran is right. I suggest that from the trust pool belonging to the General View, the three hundred million that are planned to be retained this year should be taken.
Come out, and at the same time use the inventory of 2 billion to invest in the world of chaos. In this way, the investment this year will reach 3.5 billion. There is still 10 billion in the trust pool as a reserve for the ascension of the Hedao people. This is what we here
You all can vote. As for the various offices, Zhiran also thought of a way... Zhiran, please tell me."
Zhao Ran said: "Of course, the detailed rules we just made last year redistributed the proportion of the use of trust. Changing it before it has been implemented once is not a good thing for the rules themselves. It is equivalent to destroying the rules that made the rules. It is also not worth it.
Advocate. Moreover, in my opinion, the problem does not appear in the distribution ratio we determined, but in emergencies. Suppose we modify the ratio and invest an extra 10% of the total annual trust power into the chaotic world.
, it’s just an increase of 500 million, and an extra 20% is only one billion, which still won’t solve the problem. As for an increase of 30%, I will first oppose it..."
With that said, Zhao Ran took out an article and circulated it to everyone, and said at the same time: "If you think about it carefully, this is actually a problem of treating the head when it hurts and the feet when it hurts. Solving the problem of the Great Refiner can be solved once and for all.
Continue to develop steadily according to our original steps. Therefore, I wrote a short article and suggested launching a fundraiser in the name of Zhenshitang, with Zhenshitang taking the lead. Just like what Zhou Zhenren said just now, donate first
Two billion, so that’s 3.5 billion. For the rest, please make pledges from various institutions. Let’s agree first. Everything is voluntary. Isn’t there still 8.6 billion from each institution in the credibility pool?
Is there a quota? Everyone should donate as much as they are willing to do according to their ability, Zhenshitang will never force..."
Dongfang Ming was the first to respond: "We at Yuhuang Pavilion have pledged 100 million!"
The article was passed to Yu Daochun. He looked down and saw that the title was "For Sixty-One Comrades." After reading it, Yu Daochun said with emotion: "The feelings of comrades are vividly reflected on the paper... We, Yunnan Longquan Pavilion, have pledged donations."
Fifty million!”
Zhao Ran said: "Thank you so much to Yuhuang Pavilion and Longquan Pavilion Gaoyi. At the same time, I also suggest that all pavilions and pavilions that donate their trust quota should be listed in various journals by Zhenshitang to thank them."
Wang Jingyun said: "Maoshan pledged 80 million!"
Zhou Yunzhi was not to be outdone: "Guansheng Pavilion pledged 50 million!"
Zhao Ran continued: "The Zongsheng Hall does not have as deep a family background as your predecessors, but we are also willing to donate 30 million."
After that, every true master pledged. Beizhili Baiyun Pavilion pledged 50 million, Fujian Helin Pavilion pledged 60 million, Zhejiang Lingxu Pavilion pledged 70 million, and Longhushan Zhengyi Pavilion pledged.
At the same time, at Zhao Ran's suggestion, the True Master Hall also passed an emergency plan, which authorized the Jiuzhou Pavilion to invest in accumulated faith in an emergency, with an upper limit of 5 billion, once a great alchemist has a lifespan problem.
Starting from Zhenshitang, with the publication of "For Sixty-one Comrades" in major journals, at the end of February, Jiuzhou Pavilion received pledges from some museums worth 700 million. The pledges were mainly from
In the sect to which sixty-one great refiners belong.
In early March, a letter of thanks published in the name of Zhenshido was published in various journals, accompanied by a detailed list of donated libraries and the credibility of their respective donations. This letter of thanks immediately set off a second wave
There was a huge wave of pledges, and even many institutions that had pledged donations before made a second round of additional donations.
Under the principle of voluntariness, all the Taoist sects have pledged donations, and no one has "closed its doors and ignored the external affairs of the mountain", which fully reflects the deep friendship between the various sects and demonstrates the purpose of mutual help among the Taoist sects in the world.
.
At the end of April, the final figures were that 750 million had been invested according to the implementation details. Zhenshi Hall had pledged a total of 2.75 billion, and each of the halls had pledged 2.5 billion. This year, the credibility of the development will be invested
The total is six billion!
Is six billion enough? I'm afraid it's not enough, but with this six billion as a base, if we work harder next year, we will hopefully be able to send the Great Refiner into the world of chaos.
The entire Ming Dynasty is paying attention to the sixty-one great masters who are about to expire, especially the one hundred and fifty-two-year-old Liu Yunyi. Therefore, Zhao Ran, after discussing with Zhenren Zhou, Dongfang Ming and others, prepared to
Immediately set off for the Demonic Hell Sea.
But before setting off, Wu Yangzhong from Sanqing Pavilion came over. Seeing the strange smile on his face, Zhao Ran asked: "Wu Tianshi, have you encountered anything interesting?"
Wu Yang Zhongdao: "It's indeed very interesting. Take a look at this."
Zhao Ran took it and looked at it, but it was a letter from Tianlongyuan, saying that fellow Buddhists had heard about the fate of the sixty-one great masters of the Ming Dynasty. Although Buddhism and Taoism were different, they were all practicing the same thing.
It is unbearable to hear about the occurrence of such tragedies in the human world. Therefore, senior monks from Gaotai Temple, Jietai Temple, Qukong Temple, Taici Temple, Tianmatai Temple, Jialan Temple and other temples proposed to donate one billion Luo to Taoism for emergency relief.
, Wangzhen Master Hall sent someone to contact him.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel happy: "Haha, now you are mentioning the line of cultivation again? One billion Luo? What is enough for it?"
Luo is the most basic unit of measurement for faith in Buddhism. Ten Luo is approximately equal to one Gui, and one billion Luo is one hundred million Gui. For Taoism to open up the chaotic world, it is a drop in the bucket, that is, about 150,000 acres.
But for Buddhism, it is quite a lot. Last year, the total value of Xixia’s faith converted into Gui, it was almost more than 300 million. The pledge of 100 million is indeed a generous sum. Of course, Buddhism still has this savings, Buddhist monks
There is no need to be blessed or to use their faith to withstand the catastrophe. The only place where they can use their faith is to build the Hongqiao channel, and it is one-third cheaper than the Hongqiao of Daomen.
But no matter what, this is an unprecedented thing after all. The purpose of Tianlongyuan showing such sincerity should be very clear, pointing directly at the chaotic world.
Therefore, after Zhao Ran smiled, he asked: "What do Wu Tianshi think?"
Wu Yang Zhongdao: "There is no doubt that Buddhism must know about the world of chaos and cannot hide it. What we don't know now is how much they know. We are stepping up our efforts to find out."
Zhao Ran nodded: "I never thought of hiding it from them."
Wuyang Zhongdao: "Zhiran is right. We now have the strength to deal with the Buddhist countries at the same time, and the chance of winning is greater than before. We will have more and more advantages in the future, so appropriately revealing some information can have a certain deterrent effect."
, to ensure our normal development of the Chaos World. Therefore, I think it doesn’t matter if we want this donation or not, we can just use this opportunity to tell them something we want to tell them.”
Zhao Ran agreed: "I agree with your opinion. I hope that the contact process will buy us more time to open up the world of chaos. It's just that the meeting of the True Master Hall needs to be done faster. I plan to rush to the Demonic Hell Sea earlier."
Wu Tianshi said happily: "Thank you Zhiran for your support, I will do it as soon as possible."
