After reading the edict, Zhao Ran's reply to Dongfang Li was: This edict makes me very unhappy.
Dongfang Li said: Don’t forget, this is not an edict yet. Since the matter involves the monks in the palace, it still needs to be reported to the Shangguan Zhenshi Hall for approval before it can be implemented.
Zhao Ran: Will Zhenshitang be confused?
Dongfang Li: At least Sanqing Pavilion will not be confused. Sanqing Pavilion has a place in Zhenshi Hall.
Zhao Ran perked up: Please teach me, Senior Brother Li!
So Dongfang Li told Zhao Ran the situation of Zhenshitang.
Speaking of Zhenshitang, we have to talk about Jianji Guan Shangguan. As we all know, Jianji Guan Shangguan is the place where all affairs in the Taoist practice world are handled. Compared with various pavilions and pavilions, it is more similar to a yamen.
It is not a place of inheritance for spiritual practice.
Six hundred years ago, when he was sitting in Lushan Mountain, he established the Jianji Temple as the general view of Taoism in the world. Among them, the Taoist temple under Jinji Peak was used to oversee the secular affairs of the jungles in ten directions and was called Xiaguan. The Taoist temple at the top of Jinji Peak was called Xiaguan.
Used to deal with matters in the spiritual world, it is called Shangguan.
When Shangguan was first established, it was very simple. There was only one True Master Hall. Each major lineage of the Taoist sect sent a heavenly master or a high-level cultivator in the realm of real people to enter the hall. When major events occurred, the hall would be held to discuss matters and sit together to make decisions.
In the first few years after the establishment of Zhenshi Hall, all kinds of affairs were complicated. The real people and heavenly masters in Zhenshi Hall were exhausted and could not handle them. So Sanqing Pavilion, Jiuzhou Pavilion and Jiuzhou Pavilion were successively established under Zhenshi Hall.
Pavilion, Baojing Pavilion, Leixiao Pavilion, Qifu Pavilion, Dongji Pavilion and Chunyang Pavilion, etc.
Except for Chunyang Pavilion, each other pavilion is led by two real masters, one is Zhenren and the other is Celestial Master, plus two general leaders, Da Zhenren and Da Celestial Master, as well as Sijiao, who is in charge of the Shifang Jungle.
Tianshi and Sijiao Zhenren, there are currently sixteen real masters sitting in the Zhenshi Hall.
Oriental Rites says that Sanqing Pavilion has a "place" in the Zhenshi Hall, which refers to Wu Yangzhong, the heavenly master who sits in Sanqing Pavilion. As for Chen Zhenren, the other sitting hall, he has been in seclusion for two years.
According to Dongfang Li, he had already told Zhuo Yunfeng, who was promoted to the elder of Sanqing Pavilion, about the flying talisman, and asked Zhuo Yunfeng to take action and beg Wu Tianshi to speak in the Zhenshi Hall to reject the edict.
"Elder Zhuo? Is that the original leader of our West Hall?" Zhao Ran immediately used the term "our West Hall" in an effort to get closer to the organization.
"Yes, it is the original Hall Master Zhuo. He has been in seclusion for more than four months and has successfully broken through. He is now a great alchemist and has officially served as the elder of the main hall of Sanqing Pavilion in February this year."
"How many elders are there in our Sanqing Pavilion main hall?" Zhao Ran quickly asked, he wanted to confirm the importance of Elder Zhuo.
"There are two in total, the other one is Elder Bai."
Very good. It seems that Elder Zhuo's weight is still relatively heavy, and his words should be effective.
"As a subordinate of the West Hall, do I need to pay a visit to our Elder Zhuo?"
"I have talked with him Feifu. You can go see him tonight at Shen Shi."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!" Zhao Ran has never been as proud as he is today, feeling proud and proud to be a glorious member of Sanqing Pavilion.
He left Yunshuitang and left Jianji Temple. He first descended from Jinji Peak, then detoured to Jinji Peak. Following Dongfang Li's instructions, he followed a gurgling stream upstream and stopped at a green pool.
He took out the Sanqing Pavilion Guard Waistband given to him by Dongfang Li that day, raised his hand and threw it into the pool.
After a while, the waist tag shot back from the pool and was caught by Zhao Ran. At the same time, a huge suction force suddenly pulled him and pulled him directly into the pool.
While in the pool, Zhao Ran was pulled forward by an inexplicable force, and fish of all sizes passed by, as if he were in a dragon's palace on the bottom of the sea.
Suddenly, Zhao Ran rushed out of the pool and landed on a piece of grass. Looking around, he was already in a vast jungle. The ancient aura rushed to his face, containing extremely huge spiritual power. It was so viscous that it was almost impossible to breathe.
breathe.
Zhao Ran adjusted his breathing and adjusted for a moment before dispelling the depression caused by the spiritual power. When he was thinking about where to go, he saw a golden-haired monkey jumping down from the big tree in front of him and said to him:
"Are you Zhao Wei from Sanqing Pavilion?"
Zhao Ran quickly bowed his head and said: "Zhao Zhiran, a poor Taoist, has met Lingjun. I don't know how to call him Lingjun?"
The golden-haired monkey scratched his ears and said: "No need to be polite, this is your first time coming to Zongguan, right? I am Zongguan's gatekeeper, and I have never seen you before."
Zhao Ran said: "I've met Lingguan. This is the first time Xiaodao has come to take a look. He wants to pay homage to Shangfeng. He also hopes that Lingguan can help and show Xiaodao a way."
The spiritual officer lowered his head and looked at the handful of crimson fire spirit fruits stuffed in his hand. He squeaked twice in surprise, then looked at Zhao Ran and said: "Little Taoist priest, I will remember you. Go northwest."
, there is a lake called Tianxing Lake, and the palace by the lake is Sanqing Pavilion."
"Thank you so much, Official Linggong." After Zhao Ran thanked him, he followed the instructions of the Zhenmen Lingguan and looked northwest.
The Lingguan waited for Zhao Ran to disappear, then picked one of the Zhuhuo Lingguo in his palm and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt that it was extremely delicious. He ate one after another, and in the blink of an eye, he ate them all. He sucked his fingers and looked at Zhao Ran from a distance.
As he left, he wondered where the little Taoist priest had gotten such delicious Zhuhuo Lingguo. It tasted really good, and he didn't know if he still had it...
Zhao Ran soon saw a clear lake, and by the lake stood a palace with red walls and cornices. When he arrived in front of the palace, he saw a blue and gold-edged horizontal plaque on the gate, which read "Sanqing Pavilion".
Although the door was open, Zhao Ran did not dare to break in. When he saw a penthouse next to it, he went over and saw an old Taoist priest sleeping on the table in the penthouse through the window that was about a foot square.
"Dudu dudu", he knocked on the window lattice, the old man opened his sleepy eyes and asked: "Is something wrong?"
Zhao Ran said, "Mercy, I'm here to see Elder Zhuo. Could you please give me a report?"
The old Taoist asked: "Have you made an appointment with Elder Zhuo?"
"As promised, Elder Zhuo asked me, Shen Shi, to come and meet."
"Hmm. Who are you? What's your name?"
"Xiao Dao's surname is Zhao and his given name is Zhiran. He is from Xitang."
The old Taoist took a thick book from the table, licked his fingers, flipped the pages to the middle, looked at the records on it, and said to Zhao Ran: "Xitang Junshan Guards Commander Zhao Zhiran?"
"It's the trail."
"Your guard badge."
Zhao Ran took it out and handed it over. The old Taoist took it, pushed down the front of the waistband, dipped a mimeograph on an ink pad, then pressed it hard on the book, "brushed" half of it, tore it off, and handed it to
Zhao Ran: "Go in. After meeting Elder Zhuo, ask Elder Zhuo to sign it for you and hand it back when you go out. Don't forget it, otherwise you won't be able to leave the general view."
