As the recommender, Wei Zhizhen came forward and told the elders and disciples who were watching the ceremony that Zhao Ran's cultivation had reached the "Qi Transformation" stage, he had cultivated the Dan Fei, and he acted cautiously on weekdays, in line with the requirements of the Taoist precepts.
Recommend it to the evangelist, Elder Du, and apply for his ordination.
Elder Du asked the other elders for their opinions and asked them to come forward for assessment.
When Zhao Ran was a Taoist priest, several elders had tested his understanding of Taoist scriptures and Taoist techniques. Naturally, there was no need to ask these questions at this time. He directly asked Elder Lu to take his pulse and test Zhao Ran's Qi sea.
After taking the pulse, Elder Lu nodded and said, "The elixir is ready," so Zhao Ran passed the test smoothly.
Elder Du took out a copy of Qingci, Zhao Ran took it after washing his hands and face, bowed down in front of the statue of Huode Xingjun, recited it devoutly, and then dedicated the Qingci to Xingjun.
The bells, gongs and drums sounded loudly, Elder Du started to use the magic formula, and the magic circle set up began to operate, and a scorching coercion enveloped the entire hall.
Qingci slowly rose into the air, turned into a ball of flame, and suddenly sank into the brow of the statue of Huode Xingjun.
After absorbing Qingci, the statue began to gradually become transparent, blooming with layers of blazing red light that kept flashing.
At the same time, the various spiritual foods, spiritual fruits, spiritual wines, elixirs and other offerings on the altar began to burn, and the abundant spiritual power contained in them was absorbed into the forehead of the statue.
Elder Du presented the prepared jade ultimatum to the witness. A red light flew out from the center of the eyebrows of the Xingjun statue, which was transferred into the jade ultimatum, and a flame seal was printed on the ultimatum.
After obtaining Elder Yan's consent, Elder Du slapped the ultimatum into Zhao Ran's body from between his eyebrows, and a third flame immediately appeared on his robe.
At this point, the entire ritual comes to an end.
Zhao Ran inquired about it and found out that a total of 72,000 Gui worth of trust was consumed during his conferment ceremony.
Zhao Ran calculated that it was about one-fifth of the output of Junshan Temple in a year. In other words, in the past year, Junshan Temple's trustworthiness could allow five monks to receive the golden crown.
.
So how much does other professions cost on trust points?
The Taoist priest is worth 18,000 gui, the Taoist priest is worth 36,000 gui, and the yellow crown is worth 72,000 gui.
The master's salary is 360,000 Gui, and the master's salary is 720,000 Gui.
The above-mentioned positions are easy to say, they are roughly equivalent to the trustworthiness of a county for a whole year. After reaching the level of teacher training, the cost becomes astonishing.
The price for a refiner is 3.6 million gui, and the price for a great refiner is 7.2 million gui. It is basically equivalent to the annual trust production value of a land.
The real person or the Celestial Master is 36 million Gui, and the real person or the Great Celestial Master is 72 million Gui. It is roughly equivalent to the annual trust output value of Sichuan Province.
The trust required for the above-mentioned positions sounds like a lot, but in fact, the overall quota is more than enough, because it is difficult for high-level monks above the level of a master to appear. For example, the Huayun Pavilion can produce one master every five years.
Even if they are very good, the number of great masters can usually only be maintained at one or two. As for the Heavenly Master realm, there was one twenty years ago, and according to the rules, he is now practicing in the Jade Emperor Pavilion.
The joints that really consume a lot of trust are when transforming tribulations and receiving imperial orders to ascend. The required trust points are quite terrifying, and are consumed in units of hundreds of millions. Except for the general view, the provincial halls and pavilions do not have the strength to guarantee the monks to transform tribulations and ascend.
.
After finding out more about it, Zhao Ran became more aware of the role of trust.
After the ritual was over, Elder Du waved to Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran thought that something was indeed wrong, so he hurriedly went over and asked, "Hello, Elder Du. Thank you for being old. I wonder if you have any instructions?"
Elder Du said: "A few days ago, a nephew came from my Du family's Tiantai Mountain lineage, named Du Xingyan. Have you met him?"
Zhao Ran secretly thought that he had come to complain. He didn't know what Du Xingyan had told him, so he said vaguely: "Yes, a few days ago, several friends who were practicing Buddhism held a banquet at my Junshan Temple... At the Dharma gathering, everyone interacted with each other.
To exchange practice experiences and discuss martial arts and Taoism, this fellow Taoist Du is also here. So he is your old nephew? Oh, I am really neglecting you. If I had known this, I would have entertained you warmly."
I actually added this sentence to tell Du Ziteng that those who don’t know are not guilty. If I offend you, please forgive me.
Elder Du smiled and said, "I heard that my useless distant nephew suffered a setback at your hands?"
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "It's not a setback, it's half a catty, half a catty."
Du Ziteng said: "Who wins and who loses? Tell me the truth. He admits that his skills are not as good as others. Could it be that he can still talk nonsense?"
Zhao Ran was stunned, thinking that he really didn't expect that Du Xingyan was so upright and upright. He lost to a monk at a lower level than himself in a fight. It would be good if he didn't cover up his fault. At least he kept a low profile. Why did he keep taking it everywhere?
Say what?
Or is Du Xingyan unwilling to give up after losing? He wants Elder Du to come forward? Could it be that the other party took the money and the other party spit it out?
"This...Senior Brother Du is really, haha, in fact, he is still very powerful, maybe he is careless...I just didn't expect that he would come here specifically to tell you about this..."
Elder Du waved his hand and said: "He came to our Xianghe Pavilion to deliver gifts from the elders in the family. Speaking of fighting skills, he is pretty good among the younger generation, but he is still not good enough when he meets a master. Can you make him
When you are frustrated, it is a good thing to understand that there are mountains outside the mountains. It also saves those of the Dongyuan lineage from always keeping their eyes on the top of their heads and no one looking down on them."
Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and then cautiously asked: "Then when the Du family from Tiantai Mountain comes to Junshan, I will continue to compete with them?"
Elder Du waved his hand resolutely: "Let's have a good competition! Show the strength of the disciples of Huayun Mountain and fight how you want! This is for their own good!"
Zhao Ran understood and immediately said: "Disciple understands. That...disciple will never embarrass our Huayun Pavilion. Even if the disciple cannot defeat us, several of my senior brothers from Lingjian Pavilion are also here..."
Elder Du smiled and patted Zhao Ran on the shoulder to encourage him. Suddenly he asked: "Is your Junshan really that good?"
"Ah?" Zhao Ran didn't react.
"My nephew has always been full of praise for Junshan, saying how picturesque it is. He also said that he is a friend of Junshan and asked me to take care of Junshan when I have the opportunity. Well, I still want to go to Junshan to see it if I have the chance.
good."
Zhao Ran felt ashamed and hurriedly interrupted him. He finally managed to deal with it and thought he could leave. Unexpectedly, Elder Du was not done yet: "The Du family in Tiantai Mountain is planning to build a Guangcheng Hall to collect and organize the relics and suicide notes of my Du family ancestors.
, and enshrine it in the ancestral hall.”
Isn't this a personal museum? Zhao Ran nodded: "This is a good idea."
"You think it's good too?"
"Yes, it can allow the spirit of the ancestors to be passed down, shine on future generations, and inspire them to work hard!" Zhao Ran's words were righteous and full of positive energy.
Elder Du said: "Indeed! It is consistent with my idea. I also plan to build a facsimile of the Tianshi Hall in Xianghe Pavilion. It just so happens that my Du family lineage in the Qing Dynasty has preserved many good items from my ancestors, so I can display them.
, to inspire the younger generations and encourage their colleagues.”
Du Guangting was both Mr. Guangcheng and the Celestial Master of Zhenxing. He was highly praised by both the Dongyuan and Shangqing sects. A hall of Mr. Guangcheng was built on Tiantai Mountain, and a Celestial Master of Zhenxian was built on Huayun Mountain. Zhao Ran blinked.
I blinked my eyes and thought to myself that this is really interesting.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Elder Du say: "I have always heard that the fifth volume of "The Story of Immortal Encounters" handwritten by my ancestors is hidden in Wuji Courtyard. I wonder if this is true?"
