Zhao Ran thought of a question and asked: "I just heard them say that their positions were all awarded by the Shangsan Palace. Does the General View also allocate credibility to them?"
Jiang Tenghe nodded: "Everyone in the world is from a Taoist sect, so of course they have to take care of their affairs, not only their duties, but also the monks from the casual cultivator families in various places. Well, after all, the casual cultivators of Long'an Prefecture receive awards every three years.
The Lu Competition is about to begin, and you, the Taoist disciple, have to get ready and busy."
"Oh?" Zhao Ran was suddenly curious: "What does the Conferment Competition mean? When is it?"
Jiang Tenghe was too lazy to waste words, and the task of explanation was handed over to Wei Zhizhen. Baoning Prefecture's Dao Sect Walking Ouyang Valley, and Du Fu's Dao Sect Walking Li Tengxin were both old Jianghu. They each found a quiet place to meditate and practice. Only Pei Zhongning and Zhao Ran
They were both newly appointed and listened to Wei Zhizhen's explanation with great interest.
When monks have reached the corresponding level of cultivation, they can obtain the ordination through the conferring of rituals. The ordination is the priesthood. With the ordnance, monks can communicate with heaven and borrow the power of gods.
The ritual of bestowing the urn requires consuming spiritual resources. In addition to a large amount of elixirs, spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, spiritual food, talismans and other materials, it also requires the consumption of a certain amount of trust. Without the contribution of credibility, the ritual of bestowing the urn requires consuming spiritual resources.
It is invalid and cannot be replaced.
If a cultivator does not have a vocation, he cannot borrow the divine power of God for his own use. At least in terms of talismans, there is a blank. Whether it is an understanding of heaven and earth or a simple fight, it is like walking on one leg. How can it be possible to walk steadily or fast?
?
But all the faith in the world is in the hands of the Taoist sect. What should the aristocratic family do if they are casual cultivators? Don’t they stop practicing? Of course not. According to the words of the late Elder Lu, the ancestor of Louguan, the Taoist sect has eaten all the meat and will not let it go.
When the casual cultivators and aristocratic families in the world have some soup, are they waiting for others to flip the table?
Therefore, every three or five years, various temples and pavilions will allocate a sum of faith to confer rites specifically for casual cultivators and aristocratic families, giving them a path for continuous upward cultivation, so as to stabilize the relationship between monks in the world.
Heart.
Of course, it is impossible for the Taoist sect to take whatever you ask for. It does not mean that you have the corresponding realm of cultivation, so I will give you the teaching. In addition to the preciousness of faith, there are other reasons. As for the reason, I can only understand it.
It can't be said clearly.
Specifically, when it comes to the Huayun Pavilion, three quotas are allocated about every three years for casual cultivators to receive religious orders. There are five casual cultivator sects in Long'an Mansion and twelve aristocratic families. In addition, there are many independent sects.
Among the casual cultivators, there are not a few who have the need to receive religious services.
There are so many people who want to be enthroned, but the number of places is very limited. Who will be given the enthronement position and who will not be given it?
The Taoist sect has established precedents for this, and there are also several recognized rules. One of them is character and morality. Whether you serve the Taoist sect with all your heart, whether you have responded to the Taoist sect's call and done what you can in the past... etc. are all being considered.
Of course, the above criteria are difficult to determine, so under the same conditions, a battle of wits is mostly used to select candidates for death.
This set of rules is actually very vague. According to Zhao Ran's understanding, there are only rough guidelines, but no specific implementation details. How to judge? How to choose? It's all up to the Taoist sect.
Zhao Ran asked: "Then what should I do when walking in this door? The teacher just said that I have to be busy next..."
Wei Zhizhen said: "This is your business. If you don't do it, who will?"
"Elder brother, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that this matter is decided by Taoism?"
"That's right. It's up to you to decide who will be enthroned. When the time comes, you will report it to the Presbyterian Church. As long as it makes sense, the person you reported can be enthroned."
Zhao Ran was a little shocked when he heard this: "Senior Brother, do I have so much power in this sect? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Wei Zhizhen said: "Without this power, do you think that a mere monk in the Huangguan Realm can be respected by the casual cultivator sects and aristocratic families? Do you really think that with the name of a Taoist sect, you can travel around the world without any hindrance? Do you really think you are a casual cultivator?"
Is there no one in the world?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Senior brother, what you said makes sense."
Although Zhao Ran said he understood, Wei Zhizhen was afraid that he did not understand thoroughly, so he simply gave an example: "It's like the previous Taoist walker of our Huayun Pavilion a few years ago. He was too weak. Watching them fight can make you depressed to the point of vomiting blood."
, who would respect such a Taoist walk? The Elder Hall had to let the two brothers help each other walk together, but it was still not enough..."
Zhao Ran asked: "Elder brother is talking about the two uncles of the Zhuo family?"
Wei Zhizhen frowned and warned Zhao Ran seriously: "Junior brother, you must be careful when you speak in the future. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth. It is very inappropriate to mention the two junior uncles of the Zhuo family by name. When you speak in the future,
It needs to be more tactful."
Zhao Ran covered his face: "I know, senior brother, from now on, junior brother, I must pay attention when I speak."
Wei Zhizhen also warned Pei Zhongning, who was watching: "Junior sister Pei, forget what you said today. My junior brother has an upright temperament. He can easily offend others if he says anything. But he made it unintentionally. Please forgive me, junior sister."
Pei Zhongning covered his mouth and chuckled: "I know Senior Brother Wei, I will definitely not talk nonsense about what I said today."
Wei Zhizhen nodded and continued: "As I said, the two master uncles of the Zhuo family are so weak, why can they make the casual cultivator community ban them? One of the important reasons is to be able to decide the candidates. To put it bluntly,
This is the Taoist sect that supports the monks in the temple who are out walking."
Zhao Ran said: "Then what if I am the chosen person who is not suitable?"
Wei Zhizhen said: "There is nothing inappropriate. For our Huayun Pavilion, we only need to give these three places to receive the burial ceremony, let three casual cultivators receive the burial ceremony, and give one to the casual cultivating sects and aristocratic families in Long'an Mansion.
It is enough to have upward hope. Of course, unless you choose a notorious murderer, or it is obviously unfair, then that is another matter. I believe that you will not do this, junior brother."
Zhao Ran was extremely curious about this and broke the pot and asked: "Does receiving benefits count?"
Wei Zhizhen said: "These casual cultivators are not easy to mess with. If you collect something here and you are sued to the elders' hall, don't say that senior brother didn't remind you. I remember that you once assisted Junior Sister Pei.
Brother, you have captured two monks from Hengfu Hall of Baoning Prefecture, right?"
Zhao Ran nodded "Yes", and Pei Zhongning rushed to answer: "I know! It's Master Zuo Yunfeng and Huang Tengsong! My brother once told me in detail that several of their low-level monks joined forces to kill a great
The Master and the Master were captured and brought to justice, that battle was really amazing!"
Wei Zhizhen said disdainfully: "The master and the disciples were also incompetent in their cultivation. It is normal to take them down. What a big deal! Do you know why they were kicked out of the Hengfu Hall? It's because Huang Tengsong took in the bulk of the casual cultivators when he was walking as a Taoist sect.
The bribery was exposed a few years later, and his teacher Zuo Yunfeng was implicated. This incident caused a huge uproar throughout Sichuan Province and caused great dissatisfaction among the casual cultivators and aristocratic families, so he was kicked out."
Zhao Ran thought to himself, this punishment is really severe...
Just when he thought of this, he saw Pei Zhongning looking at him with worry, and said softly: "Senior Brother Zhao, you must pay attention to what Senior Brother Wei said. If you are really short of money, just tell Junior Sister that I still have money here.
Some private money..."
Zhao Ran suddenly had a black line on his face and his whole body felt bad. He said angrily: "Junior sister Pei, am I that kind of person?"
Wei Zhizhen and Pei Zhongning shook their heads together, indicating that Zhao Ran was indeed not that kind of person. Zhao Ran just breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them added separately:
"Junior brother, you really need to pay attention."
"Senior Brother Zhao, I still have three hundred taels of silver here. Can I give it to you now?"
