Chapter 162 Caolou View (I wish Qingshan's grandmother a speedy recovery)
Mingjue, who was waiting at the Baihe Ferry, finally received the news that Zhao Ran had returned to Dajun Mountain, and immediately submitted another entry application to Hongyuan Guards Station. Master Song Yuqiao, who was in charge of the monk team of Hongyuan Guards in rotation, brought back Zhao Ran's personal letter.
The letter informed Mingjue that the Taoist sect’s annual Dharma teaching season was coming next. From June to October, he would have to teach Dharma at the Junshan Lecture Hall, and he might not be able to attend the Buddhist and Taoist practice ball exchange competition. If Mingjue could not attend
If you mind, you can take a group to Maharaja Mountain.
There was also a mention in the words, a tactful expression that there was great resistance to Master Zhixin entering the Chaos Immortal Realm to extend his life, and it would still take some time.
Of course Mingjue minded, but without Zhao Ran, there would be little point in holding this training ball exchange match. So Zhicheng, the abbot of Feifu Qukong Temple, and Shenxiu, the chief of Jinzhen Hall, asked for advice.
Zhicheng is the leader of the exchange group and has been waiting for news at Qukong Temple. After receiving the flying talisman, he immediately said that he could continue to wait. He understood Zhao Ran's statement about "there is a lot of resistance" and said that he could make an agreement with Zhao Ran after October.
OK.
Shenxiu suggested that Mingjue go to Dajun Mountain to discuss preparations for the practice ball exchange competition. At the same time, he reminded Mingjue that February 16th this year is Zhao Zhiran’s 60th birthday. Although this date has passed, the birthday gift can be made up for.
Afterwards, Bodhi Hall sent a Taoist ritual weapon: Caolou Temple.
The Caolou Temple is not a magic weapon, it is just a high-level magic weapon, similar to the sword pavilion, but not as effective as the sword pavilion. Its preciousness lies not in the magic weapon itself, but in the historical significance behind the magic weapon.
This was the practice of the ancestors of Lou Guan who gathered in the mountains to cultivate in the early days of Zhongnan Mountain Lou Guan. It was just a residence. Although it looked like it was just a thatched courtyard with two entrances, Zheng Ludao and Liang Liang had lived here successively.
Chen, Wang Jia, Sun Che, Ma Jian and other more than ten Louguan ancestors have strong historical significance.
This Caolou Temple has been secretly hidden in the Bodhi Hall as an important historical data for the study of Taoism. I didn't expect that it would be returned to Zhao Zhiran now. I think it was presided over by Yinguang, Shenxiu, Liaoyuan, Hongdao, Senluo, Zhizhi, etc.
The masters of Tianlongyuan put their money on Zhao Zhiran's side, hoping to open a breakthrough from him.
After receiving the Caolou Temple, Mingjue felt that the pressure on him doubled. He knew the responsibility he shouldered. If he could not reach an agreement with the Taoist sect, in two or three hundred years, the world would enter the Age of Ending Dharma, and no monks could go there.
Going to the Western world, where will the outlet for these thousands of Buddhist monks be?
At the end of June, Song Yuqiao officially informed Mingjue on the other side of the Baihe River, allowing him to enter the country to discuss preparations for the practice ball exchange competition, and personally brought him to the Junshan Lecture Hall.
In the small town, Mingjue heard the hawker selling information along the street, which seemed to be news about Taoist monks "joining the Tao" and "entering the void". He immediately paid for a copy. When he opened it, he saw three important pieces of news.
:
First, Master Sun Biyun of Wudang Yinxian Sect went into seclusion to attack Hedao. Master Hongfa believed that Master Sun’s possibility of Hedao this time was extremely high!
Secondly, the Chongde Hall of Sinan Prefecture in Guizhou stayed in seclusion for a year with the elders. On the sixth day of this month, he successfully broke through the mirror and entered the void, and received the Heavenly Master's urn. It only took him fifteen years to cultivate the Yang God, which can be included in the century-old list.
Top 30 fastest records!
Thirdly, Taoist Master Jingxu of the Jinhui Sect successfully broke into the virtual world at the Jinhui Pavilion in Hengduan Dashan and became the eighth Kundao Lianxu in the Taoist sect. He will be awarded the title of Zhenzhenlu.
Mingjue quickly turned to the back page and read the monthly list of promoted monks. It was five pages long, with a total of 145 monks advanced. Among them, five were promoted to great masters and 17 were promoted to masters.
, Thirty-eight people have been promoted to Grand Master, and eighty-five people have formed elixirs!
There is also an explanation attached to the list, stating that as more and more people are promoted every month, from now on the journal will only contain news about Xu and Hedao. The promotion list of monks at the four levels from Jindan to Great Refiner will be listed below.
Starting from the first issue, it will be published in the form of a supplement. The price is ten articles. Those who are interested can subscribe as soon as possible.
Mingjue was horrified to see it. He recalled that twenty years ago, the news about the promotion of monks above the Golden Elixir published in each issue was only a dozen per month. Now it is ten times as many as before. The development of Taoist practice is really incredibly fast.
.Of course, there are also factors that caused incomplete information from various journals twenty years ago, but even so, it is really too much to accept.
When he arrived at the lecture hall, Mingjue, who was dressed as a monk, immediately attracted everyone's attention. He had been in Songfan for many years and had become accustomed to this kind of gaze. He lowered his head cautiously and followed Song Yuqiao in. In his peripheral vision, the lecture hall was full of people.
Sitting with hundreds of Taoist priests, I understood a little bit. No wonder there are so many monks who have broken through. Every year, Dafa Master spreads the Dharma to so many people. What's so strange about hundreds of people who break through?
Zhao Ran had just taught a batch of Dharma and said to Mingjue: "Master has also seen it, and he really can't leave. The situation will last until October. If there is anything that needs to be prepared in advance, you can contact Dongfang Li, and you can contact Dongfang Li for specific matters.
My nephew Qu Feng communicated with me. As for the candidates for the Taoist sect, I heard that Yuanfu Palace is selecting, and they attach great importance to it. They plan to select the champion for the autumn competition and compete with fellow Taoists from the Buddhist sect."
Mingjue said: "Master Hongfa, just concentrate on teaching the Dharma. I will discuss these matters with Dongfang Li, Qu Feng and the two Taoist priests. This time, I came here mainly to wish you a happy birthday, as entrusted by my teacher.
I had wanted to come for a long time, but you have been absent from Songfan, so I had to make up for the congratulatory gift. Please don't be offended."
After saying that, he took out the Thatched Tower Temple and placed it on the table. At the same time, he took out the comments and annotations written by the eminent monks who had studied this magical artifact in the Bodhi Hall for hundreds of years and attached them together.
Zhao Ran really didn't know there was such a thing, so he asked his teacher Jiang Tenghe. Jiang Tenghe didn't know either, but that didn't stop him from rushing to the Junshan Lecture Hall immediately and holding the Caolou Temple to examine it carefully.
Zhao Ranfei went to Fu Bao Sutra Pavilion and asked Dongfang Ming to help verify the condition of this magical artifact. As expected, Caolou Temple was found in the directory. The details and pictures described were exactly the same as those sent by Ming Jue.
Touching this magical artifact, Jiang Tenghe sighed for a long time and called out that "the treasure is covered in dust." Mingjue quickly explained to him, telling him that Bodhi Hall has always taken good care of Caolou Temple and has never slackened off.
Zhao Ran sincerely thanked Mingjue and accepted the gift. Of course, accepting it quietly would definitely not work. Jiang Tenghe took Caolou Guan to the Baojing Pavilion to hand it over in person. In the end, it would probably be a formality, and then the Baojing would be handed over.
The view of the pavilion is restored.
After receiving the gift, Zhao Ran felt impressed by Buddhism's sincerity and finally decided on the time for the practice ball exchange competition - the first day of November.
Mingjue went to Dajun Mountain to find Qu Fenghe to discuss the details of the competition, while Zhao Ran continued to teach the method. After teaching this group of 3,000 people, he put empowerment chains on six new monks who had entered the realm of master refiners, allowing them to teach
Law.
ps: Taoist fellow Taoist Qingshan has never tired of seeing the flowing water. I wish my grandma a speedy recovery and safety. The title of this chapter is a blessing, which consumes one piece of talisman owed by Taoist Hengyi.
