Chapter Fourteen

As a new disciple, Zhao Ran's ordination involves two ceremonies. The first is to become a disciple. After obtaining the qualifications to be ordained, he will go to the Huode Xingjun Hall to be ordained.

The urn is an ultimatum that communicates with immortals and gods, summons divine servants, and casts dharma books. After being given the urn, a Taoist monk can ascend to heaven. According to the Taoist sect, he has the priesthood. The so-called "Qing Ci can reach heaven." Therefore, it is called You can see the spirit in your actions.

The burial ceremony is an extremely solemn fasting ceremony. It is not a superficial ceremony that Zhao Ran did in Guyang County a few years ago. It requires many objects, especially the key link that needs to be carried out around the statue of Lord Huodexing. Therefore, it must be carried out in Held in Huodexingjun Hall.

The Huayun Hall has been established for more than 700 years. The first founder of the hall had his destiny god Huode Xingjun. Therefore, Huodexingjun is the main statue of the Zhaijiu in the temple. The main color of the hall is fiery red, with a shrine in the center. Above it stands Luo Xuan, Lord of the Three Qi Fire Virtues of the South, holding the Mother of Li Huo in his hand, with red beard and hair, and a mighty face. On the east and west sides are the five righteous gods of the Fire Department: Tail Fire Tiger Zhu Zhao, Chamber Fire Pig Gao Zhen, the fire monkey Fang Gui, the winged fire snake king Jiao and the fire-receiving king Liu Huan.

The statue of Huode Xingjun in Huayun Pavilion has been worshiped for more than seven hundred years and has already possessed spiritual effects. When Zhao Ran entered the temple, he felt that his whole body was as hot as falling into a cave of fire, but there was no sweat all over his body. It's mysterious.

The conferment ceremony requires the presence of three masters, namely the transmitter, the supervisor, and the recommendation master. Before Zhao Ran entered the palace, his elder brother Wei Zhizhen had given him a brief introduction. The transmitter is the presiding officer of the ceremony. Elder Yan is appointed as the supervisor; the supervisor is the supervisor of the rituals, and is served by the great elder Xiahou himself; the recommender is the recommender of the disciples who are awarded ordination. This role should have been played by Zhao Ran's cheap master Jiang Tenghe, but Jiang Tenghe "happened to "Since he was in seclusion, his senior brother Wei Zhizhen took charge.

Wei Zhizhen went out first and recommended Zhao Ran to Elder Yan, the translator, in front of representatives of the disciples who were watching the ceremony. He claimed that Zhao Ran met all the conditions and specifically applied for examination by the elders.

There are a total of seven elders in Huayun Pavilion, and now there are five. Among them, Elder Yan is the transmitter, and Elder Xiahou is the supervisor. So the remaining three elders form an "assessment group" to assess Zhao Ran's homework classics. This The item is very simple. It probably means pulling out a certain passage from primary classics such as the "Tao Te Ching", "The Book of Saviors", "Morning and Evening Work Sutra", etc., and asking Zhao Ran to recite the next paragraph or explain it. Zhao Ran seemed to have returned to When I was studying in the Sutra Hall of Wujiyuan, while reciting answers, I couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhimeng among the crowd on the east side.

Elders occasionally asked questions about Taoist books such as "Shangqing Jue" and "Justice Talisman", and Zhao Ran answered them one by one. These books are the introductory books for monks Zhengyi, Zhuo Tengyun, Zhuo Teng Yi had already taught the book to Zhao Ran, and now it seems that Huayun Pavilion should be well aware of this.

After checking the things in the book, the elders checked Zhao Ran's Qihai. After that, he signaled to everyone in the hall that Zhao Ran had met the conditions to enter the Taoist realm and could start refining.

So Elder Yan, the transmission master, handed Zhao Ran a copy of the Qing Ci. Zhao Ran washed his hands and face, took the Qing Ci, recited it sincerely, and dedicated it to the statue of Huode Xingjun. After Zhao Ran finished reciting, he bowed three times and held the Qing Ci in his hand. The green words suddenly rose slowly and turned into a ball of hot flames at a height of one foot, and suddenly sank into the eyebrows of the Xingjun statue.

Elder Yan ordered people to place an iron table on which various spiritual fruits, spiritual wines, and various ingredients were enshrined. Zhao Ran opened his eyes and saw that these objects were exuding strong spiritual energy. They were really good things. Zhao Ran knew

, this table of things consumes a lot of money, and this time I am getting an advantage.

Elder Yan, the transmission master, called on everyone to bow to the statue of Xing Jun. After doing so three times, the things on the altar table began to burn. In Zhao Rantian's eyes, he could see that the spiritual energy in them was condensing towards the statue, and finally entered the center of the statue's eyebrows.

The fire burned quickly, and in a blink of an eye there was only a layer of ashes left on the altar table. Elder Yan took out an ultimatum, placed it on the altar table, and signaled Zhao Ran to invite incense. Zhao Ran invited three high-quality incense sticks, and just inserted them into the incense burner.

I saw a little red flame flying out from the eyebrows of the Xingjun statue, getting into the ultimatum, and printed a flame seal on the signature of the ultimatum.

Zhao Ran knelt down under the ultimatum and recited the "Singing Book of Saviors". Then Master Yan asked the supervisor, Elder Xiahou, and Elder Xiahou agreed. Master Yan then slapped the ultimatum on the table into Zhao Ran's body - yes,

The ultimatum was slapped in between Zhao Ran's eyebrows by Elder Yan, and it melted into Zhao Ran's body as soon as it touched the skin. Zhao Ran was stunned and felt that there seemed to be something in the sea of ​​qi, but it was a pity that he had not reached the realm yet and could not enter it.

Vision makes it impossible to detect everything inside the body.

At the end of the ceremony, Master Yan, on behalf of the Huayun Hall, presented various magical instruments to Zhao Ran, the newly promoted Taoist priest, including tokens, flags, scriptures, Taoist uniforms, etc., and at the same time explained their functions to Zhao Ran.

The token can be used to convey messages. If Zhao Ran needs to report something urgent to the Huayun Pavilion, he can leave his spiritual thoughts on the token and then make the token fly back to the Huayun Pavilion on its own. Zhao Ran has met Da Zhuo many times before.

, the white light that Uncle Xiao Zhuo "swung out a white light from his sleeve with a shake of his hand and flashed towards the horizon" is actually a token. It has the opposite effect of the messenger charm, but it can be used repeatedly. When using it, you only need to

Just inject mana into it.

The command flag is a defensive weapon. For example, when Zhao Ran spends the night in the wild, he can put the command flag next to him to form a shield within about ten feet of his body, preventing poisonous insects and beasts from getting close. Of course, it is also possible to use it against the enemy.

You can do this for a while, but at most it can only be used against people in the martial arts world. If you encounter someone who knows some magic, it is worth debating how reliable this thing is.

The scriptures are actually the three Taoist books given to Zhao Ran by Uncle Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo before, "The Talisman of Justice", "Shangqing Jue" and "The Making of Instruments", but this time they were specially made by Huayun Pavilion

The Taoist Book of Magical Artifacts can be poured into your mind by placing it on your forehead. However, what Zhao Ran got before was the handwritten copy of Uncle Xiao Zhuo, and he had to read and recite it page by page.

There is also a Taoist robe. Zhao Ran is now a monk. Although he is just a "Taoist" who has just crossed the threshold, compared with the lay people, it seems to be a world of difference. Huayun Pavilion gave Zhao Ran a Taoist robe with gold

Made of dragon thread, mixed with a small amount of sky silk, ordinary weapons cannot penetrate it, and it is not afraid of water and fire. It is a good treasure. There is a flame sewn on the hem corner of the Taoist robe, indicating that he is a first-level Taoist priest. If Zhao

When he enters the Taoist realm in the future, his flames will increase to two.

Zhao Ran is very satisfied, very very satisfied. In fact, for Taoism, the difference between entry-level disciples and registered disciples is only in name. Other living and material treatment are not much different. Of course, registered disciples cannot get

The inheritance of the master's mantle, the master's teaching method and the content of the teaching all depend on his mood. If he is in a good mood, he will give more advice. When he is in a bad mood, it is common not to see him for half a year.

At the end of the ceremony, several elders left one after another, and the disciple representatives who came to watch also disappeared in an instant. For Huayun Hall, Zhao Ran's conferment consumed a lot of spirit and also used a share of his faith power, which was a big deal.

It is a small matter, but for most disciples, it is not an earth-shattering event. Each of the eighteen masters in Huayun Pavilion has their own things to do. Being ordered to watch the ceremony is just a courtesy.

, some of these disciple representatives will say a few words to their master and fellow disciples after they return, and some of them will be less talkative and will not even mention it.

Three fellow seniors, Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan and Luo Zhiqing, stayed behind and took Zhao Ran to Lingjian Pavilion. Lingjian Pavilion is the residence of Jiang Tenghe's sect, located in the west of Huayun Pavilion. After passing through countless pavilions and palaces, he walked past

After countless small bridges and streams, Zhao Ran finally followed the three senior brothers to Lingjian Pavilion.

Several laymen came up and greeted Zhao Ran under the guidance of Wei Zhizhen. From now on, Zhao Ran can be regarded as a member of Lingjian Pavilion, and he still has the right to speak. These laymen are naturally extremely enthusiastic.

The three senior brothers all wanted to practice, so Wei Zhizhen asked Zhao Ran to take a rest first and discuss anything tomorrow. So Zhao Ran was led into an empty room by several laymen, saying that this would be Zhao Ran's residence from now on.

Zhao Ran was already so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed. This was not unusual. He would do this every time he received a promotion certificate, and this time was no exception.

Relax yourself when you are nervous, comfort yourself when you are worried, and don’t forget to bless yourself when you are happy!
