Zhao Ran lectured on the Dharma during the ascending ceremony. What he was talking about was not the subtle meaning of the scriptures, but the most practical fasting ritual, and it was the most common and commonly used ritual for home security. But it seems to be the lowest level.
He was teaching the Dharma, but because he poured his spiritual power into it, he immediately appeared to be extremely noble. He shocked all the officials, gentry, and wealthy families in the county, and won the eyes of the Taoist priests in the academy with twinkling admiration. It was an instant success.
The purpose of showing off such a skill is to establish his majesty as the abbot of Wujiyuan and lay a good foundation for the smooth implementation of various subsequent governance policies.
However, after he showed such a trick, Liu Zhiguang's enthronement ceremony in the Supervisory Academy on the second day seemed a little embarrassing. Liu Zhiguang became a master of scriptures in the Sutra Hall.
After seeing the teachings, everyone felt dry, and they were all looking forward to hearing Abbot Zhao teach the Dharma again.
After successfully supporting Zhao Ran to take office, Bai Tengming's mission for this trip was completed. Zhao Ran personally sent him to the edge of Guyang County to say goodbye over the wine.
Bai Tengming said with emotion: "I have lived in the Taoist Shifang Jungle for forty years. To be honest, I have met some monks in the palaces and pavilions, and I have seen battle formations and fighting techniques at the foot of Baima Mountain, but I have never seen anyone around me performing and explaining the techniques.
After so many years, sometimes I thought that many Zhaijiao rituals were actually used to trick people... I didn't expect that this time I would witness the methods of the Immortal family and know the true colors of these rituals that I had never looked down on in the past.
If it is like this, it is really a worthwhile trip.”
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Since you like it, I will try some tricks when I have the opportunity to amuse you."
Bai Tengming sighed with emotion: "I really envy you. Being able to enter the pavilion to practice. Could this opportunity really come from past lives? I often read Taoist books, and sometimes when I see those fairy caves and the magical methods, I feel longing for them and hate them.
Even if you can’t be there, you still have to experience it.”
Listening to Bai Tengming's words, he was almost in tears. Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something and wondered how he had forgotten this, so he tentatively said: "If you really want to see the blessed land of cultivation, there is an opportunity before you."
Bai Tengming's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "What opportunity?"
Zhao Ran said: "We have Elder Du in Huayun Hall, who is a descendant of the ancient Zhentian Master. He mentioned to me a few days ago that he wants to build a treasure pavilion in Huayun Mountain to collect the Zhentian Master's relics. You
If you want to go, I can invite you to go and see it together."
"Fax descendants of the Heavenly Master? Treasured relics?"
"Yes. After the Heavenly Master ascended, his descendants were divided into two groups. One group practiced the Dongxiao Talisman and is now in Zhejiang. The other stayed in our Sichuan Province and inherited the Shangqing Talisman for Huayun.
Xiangshi Pavilion, one of the eighteen sects in the pavilion. Du Ziteng, the elder of Xiushi Pavilion, is now in the Master Refining Realm. I heard that he is about to reach perfection. He presides over the newly built Facsimile Celestial Master Hall, which contains many treasures of the Facsimile Celestial Master.
, such as faxes of the Celestial Master's robes, "Pictures of Immortal Ge's Enlightenment", "Notes on the Food Pavilion", etc., as well as faxes of the pens, inks and ritual utensils used by the Celestial Master back then. Aren't you always fond of gold and stone antiques? How many years have passed?
How about I take you to visit Elder Du one day? Take a look at the scenery of Huayun Mountain Cave, stay there for a few days, breathe in the spiritual energy inside, and taste the fine wine and tea brewed in the spiritual spring. It will also be good for your body and bones.
benefit."
Bai Tengming was greatly moved. He pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's not appropriate to come to the door empty-handed. Didn't you and Lao Song give me the "Biography of Encounters with Immortals" back then? It was a fax written by the Heavenly Master himself. Since Du Jiajian has the fax
Tianshi Hall, I will simply donate it and it will be considered as returning to the original owner!"
Zhao Ran clapped his hands and praised: "You are really magnanimous. I will thank you on behalf of Elder Du. How about this? Let's set a time when you are free."
Bai Tengming thought for a while and said: "How about five days later? I want to take my fifteen-year-old grandson there and let him open his eyes. Is it appropriate?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "This must be no problem."
After bidding farewell to Bai Tengming, Zhao Ran returned to Wujiyuan and recruited Liu Zhiguang.
"Now that you and I are at the helm of Wuji Academy, we need to consider the overall situation. Many duties in the Academy are now vacant. Firstly, it is not conducive to uniting people and boosting morale. Secondly, it is impossible to carry out the next step of evangelistic work. What do you think?
Let’s talk first.”
Liu Zhiguang had already made some plans and said immediately: "Now that all the administrators, guests, masters, party masters, accountants, and guests in the courtyard are vacant, my suggestion is that Ma Zhili has been the doorman of the guest rooms for five years. Can he be promoted?"
Zhike?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Yes."
Liu Zhiguang asked again: "Fang Zhihe has been the master of the Sutra Hall for five years. Can he be promoted to a high position in the Sutra Hall?"
Zhao Ran continued to nod: "Yes."
"Mo Zhixing has been in the warehouse for five years. He has been the head of the Fangtang for three years. He is familiar with the affairs of the Fangtang. Should we let him return to the Fangtang and be promoted to the head of the Fangtang?"
"Yes. In addition, Guan Yushan, the Taoist priest in charge of inspections at Junshan Temple, will be transferred to the square hall of Wujiyuan as the head of the hall."
"Yes! Then over there at Junshan Temple..."
"Over at Junshan Temple, tell Junior Brother Jin that Lu Jin will be responsible for inspections. At the same time, Song Xiong will be given an ultimatum and become a Taoist priest to assist Lu Jin in inspecting Junshan."
After several years of practice, Zhao Ran has become more and more aware of the importance of Fangtang. As the Taoist force, this team must be firmly in his hands. Mo Zhixing received Zhao Ran's favor during his two transfers.
, can be regarded as one of our own, but after all, it is not as considerate and easy to use as Guan Er. It is a pity that Guan Er received the ultimatum not long ago, and his rank is only the lowest level of the ultimatum Taoist priest. It is barely reasonable to be promoted to the head of the square hall, and he is directly awarded to the eight deacons.
It is difficult for a party leader of a higher level to convince the public.
"Yes." Liu Zhiguang agreed, and then asked, "What about the accounting office and the guests?"
In fact, the selection of Zhike, Gao Gong and Fangzhu was based on Liu Zhiguang's suggestions based on guessing Zhao Ran's intentions. It was not so much Liu Zhiguang's intention as it was Zhao Ran's intention. Therefore, the next two tasks of accounting and welcoming guests were
Zhao Ran gave the generous deacon position to Liu Zhiguang. If he really wanted to have all the power in his hands, it would easily make Liu Zhiguang feel conflicted, which would not be conducive to the unity of the "team", but he still had to beat what should be beaten.
"You can take care of this, but there is one thing. You must never make a big mistake like Dong Zhikun again."
Liu Zhiguang was indeed in a good mood and nodded in agreement.
As for the noble Taoist position of Du Guan, Zhao Ran does not plan to take it out for the time being. The Du Guan of Wujiyuan also serves as the temple blessing of Junshan Temple. The position is very important. If there is no suitable candidate, he can only occupy it by himself. At the same time, it is considered
I would like to leave a thought for Chen Zhizhong.
