Hearing that Zhang Laodao's promotion quota sixty years ago was given to him by Long Yangzi, Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "This... it's a give-and-take. What's the point of giving in? Don't you want to ascend?"
Jiang Tenghe said: "That's not true. Being able to ascend is the lifelong long-cherished wish of monks of our generation. All cultivation is for this, so how can we not think about it? In the order of ascension in the Taoist sect, Da Zhenren was ranked after Patriarch Longyang.
, But two months before his ascension, Patriarch Longyang was drinking with his friends one day, and got extremely drunk because he was too happy. After being drunk, Patriarch was so excited that he used the Plum Blossom Return to Yuan Great Forbidden Technique to bloom on the wall.
After opening the door, which leads directly to the Heavenly Treasury, Patriarch Longyang and his friends went in and took out some belongings..."
Zhao Ran immediately opened his mouth and didn't close it for a long time: "Oh my God, Patriarch Long Yang is so brave!"
"The next day, without Qingci paying homage, the Heavenly Court Fu Zhao went down to Mount Lu. This was an extremely rare thing in our Taoist sect for hundreds of years. The Fu Zhao said that Patriarch Longyang was punished to stay here for stealing property from the Heavenly Treasury.
In the 81st year of the world, the ascension of the Taoist sect was postponed for three years. Because of this incident, Patriarch Longyang dispersed the sect and expelled all his disciples to prevent them from being contaminated by his own karma. At the same time,
Hand over the mountain gate to the general view to forgive the sin of three years. Fortunately, Patriarch Longyang was only 180 years old at the time, otherwise there would be no hope of his ascension."
"I see. It's no wonder that when the disciples asked, the great master wouldn't let him talk, and Patriarch Longyang didn't want to say anything either."
Jiang Tenghe said: "This is a shame for our Taoist sect and should not be publicized. Sixty years have passed and now it is only known in the secrets of the Zhenshi Hall. People who are young generally don't know much about it. As a teacher, I also heard from Zhenren Xu.
of."
Zhao Ran clicked his tongue and said, "Why do I feel that this is an honor for my Taoist sect, not a shame? Patriarch Longyang is really amazing. His Taoism has reached his level. After hearing this, the disciples feel so honored!"
Jiang Tenghe stroked his beard and smiled, and did not express his opinion on Zhao Ran's comments, but judging from his expression, he should agree.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked again: "Then...it was stolen..."
Jiang Tenghe scolded: "Don't even think about it, it has been recovered by the Heavenly Court a long time ago." He also sighed: "I heard that the square golden seal was cast by the Heavenly Court, but I couldn't see its true face. It is really a regret in my life...
..."
After finishing the gossip, Zhao Ran brought the topic back: "Teacher, we should calculate now how many votes our Lou Guan can get in the Zhenshi Hall meeting at the Lushan General View in a month!"
Jiang Tenghe thought for a moment and said: "Master Xu will definitely ask me, and you should be able to take Master Wu Tianshi, and the rest is hard to say. If this proposal is proposed by Master Da, Master Sima, Master Zhou, and Master Yang should all listen to it."
...Zhenren Xu once told me with a flying talisman what happened during the last meeting in Zhenshitang. The only concerns were with Tianshi Chen and Zhenren Guo... In ten days, the Jade Emperor Pavilion will not hold a double cultivation ceremony between Tianshi Chu and Zhu Qigu.
Is it a grand ceremony? Can you get the list of people attending the ceremony?"
Zhao Ran agreed and quickly sent a flying talisman to Dongfang Li and asked for the list. There was such a big news about the Double Cultivation Ceremony and the West Hall was in the Jade Emperor Pavilion. Dongfang Li naturally had a list and quickly sent it to Zhao.
However.
The master and apprentice unfolded the list on the spot on the observatory and studied it together with their heads together.
During this viewing ceremony, those who will be present in the True Master Hall include the Great Celestial Master Zhang Yunyi, the Master of the Qifu Pavilion Yang Yunmeng, the Master of the Leixiao Pavilion Xu Yun'ao, the Celestial Master of the Sijiao Zhang Yangming, and the Master of the Sijiao Shen Yunjing. There are only five of them.
Pointing to names one by one to study countermeasures, after discussing for a long time, Jiang Tenghe said: "After the Jade Emperor Pavilion ceremony, we have to continue walking."
Zhao Ran deeply agrees with this. Taking the last meeting of the True Master Hall as an example, if there are thirteen true masters present, they must obtain the consent of at least seven people. If the Lou Guan Sect wants to win Songfan, it really has a long way to go. .
But Jiang Tenghe was quite excited and said: "In this case, let's go see Senior Brother Du first."
The "Senior Brother Du" in Jiang Tenghe's mouth is Du Ziteng, one of the elders of Huayun Pavilion. After the faxed Celestial Master Du Guangting ascended to the throne, the Du family's descendants were divided into two branches. One branch went to Tiantai Mountain, built Lingxu Pavilion, and occupied In Zhejiang Province, one lineage remains in Sichuan, which is Xianghe Pavilion.
The Du family's children have already occupied a whole province, and it is impossible for Zhenshitang to allow them to occupy Songfan again. And the Huayun Pavilion is so "crowded" that Du Ziteng of Xianghe Pavilion must be eager for the Louguan family to move out. Therefore, The two sides should be natural allies in this matter.
There are more than ten small caves in the back mountain of Huayun Mountain. Elder Du Ziteng was also assigned to one, but he was not among them at the moment, so Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Ran left the back mountain and went straight to Xianghe Pavilion.
Du Ziteng was in Xianghe Pavilion when he saw Master Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Ran. He came over with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Jiang and Senior Nephew Zhao, why do you have time to come to Xianghe Pavilion today?"
Jiang Tenghe clasped his fists and said, "I have something important, and I would like to ask Senior Brother Du for help."
Du Ziteng said: "It's too polite to say I'm helping. I'm lucky enough to be able to go to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to watch the ceremony this time. I'm lucky enough to be in the Lingjian Pavilion. Whatever I can do, just ask."
Zhao Ran got back ten places to watch the ceremony. Except for his own six, the other four were given to the Elder Hall. Xiahou Yunyang, Yan Yunyi, and Du Ziteng all planned to go. The last remaining one was given to the Elder Hall. The reason for asking Master Lin from Qingqing Valley was that Master Lin was a female cultivator. After going to Yuhuang Pavilion, she might be able to help Zhu Qigu, and Master Lin agreed.
To say that he has taken advantage of Lingjian Pavilion, he is indeed so, but for Du Ziteng to say this, it is obvious that he wants to be on good terms with Lingjian Pavilion. Zhao Ran has always admired the conduct of Elder Du of Xianghe Pavilion. I feel even better now.
Jiang Tenghe signaled to Zhao Ran: "I'll say a few words to Elder Du, and you wait outside." Zhao Ran had no choice but to wait outside.
While waiting, I saw a young man walking from the cliffside corridor, holding Huang Ting in his hand and reading in a low voice.
"Senior nephew Bai Yu!" Zhao Ran stretched out his hand to greet him.
That young man was the grandson of Bai Tengming, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace. Bai Yu was introduced to Huayun Mountain by Zhao Ran. He also provided Zhao Ran with extremely mellow merit power. Zhao Ran still remembers it.
When Bai Yu saw it was Zhao Ran, he took a few steps and came three feet away from Zhao Ran. He bowed and saluted: "I've seen Uncle Zhao."
"Who do you want to worship under? How about practicing here?"
"This disciple worships the teacher and started practicing spiritual practice last year."
Zhao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know whether the child was deliberately trying to confuse him with his words, or whether he was just ignorant. The question was answered, but he still didn't know who his master was.
Looking at the flame on Bai Yu's Taoist robe, it seems that he has been admitted as a Taoist priest. Being able to enter Taoism so quickly shows that he has good foundation and good qualifications. This is the descendant of his old friend Bai Tengming, Zhao
However, I still wanted to do my best to help, so I asked: "What are the difficulties in practice now?"
Bai Yu replied: "The most difficult part is that I started too late. Time is tight and I can't memorize so many scriptures. Please give me some advice."
Zhao Ran was choked immediately, so he waved awkwardly: "Then I won't bother you with your endorsement, just go ahead."
Bai Yu respectfully agreed and left. Zhao Ran looked at his brisk steps as he left and couldn't help but shake his head.
Not long after, Du Ziteng and Jiang Tenghe came out hand in hand. Jiang Tenghe said: "Thank you for your help, senior brother."
Du Ziteng smiled and said: "This is a good thing, junior brother, don't worry, after watching the ceremony at Yuhuang Pavilion, I will go to Zhejiang to explain to Master Du!"
