Needless to say, the grand ceremony was grand. With Chu Yangcheng's cultivation, it was not easy to have a wedding. Zhao Ran originally planned to secretly learn Chu Yangcheng's dual cultivation technique, but he could only put it aside.
Instead, under the introduction of Zhu Qigu, Zhao Ran met several important figures in the clan.
Zhu Xianjian, the great monk in charge of Chaotian Palace and a high-ranking defensive scholar, was a skinny-looking man. He took the initiative to offer a drink to Jiang Tenghe: "Last year, some of the monks in Chaotian Palace offended Master Jiang. It was Zhu who failed to discipline them.
Yan, I apologize to Master Jiang again today."
After all, Zhu Xianjian was the most noble person in the clan, and he was also a great alchemist. He was sincere when he said such words, so Jiang Tenghe toasted to a drink, apparently easing the tense relationship.
Come down.
Zhu Xianjian then said to Zhao Ran: "I heard from Qimei that after we recognized a younger brother, we will be a family from now on. Next time you go to the capital, you must let me know so that I, as the elder brother, can do my best."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "How dare you, how dare you, this glass of wine is for me to toast you."
Following Zhu Xianjian were several vassal kings entrusted by the clan in Sichuan, with the King of Shu as the most respected, and seven or eight others including the Prince of Huayang County, the Prince of Chongning County, and the Prince of Baoning County. These clan kings were not allowed to visit on weekdays.
After leaving the fiefdom, it was rare for Zhu Qigu to have a grand ceremony together. The emperor issued a special order to allow them to accompany Mr. Zhu to watch the ceremony, so they all smiled happily.
Except for the fat man like the King of Shu, Zhao Ran was too lazy to remember the names of so many vassal kings. He had a drink among them and hurriedly evacuated.
On the other hand, Yu Zhichuan was always busy writing and seemed very excited.
At the guest of honor table, Zhang Laodao picked a bunch of Purple Qiong crystal grapes from the basket, picked them one by one and put them in his mouth. After eating a few, he sighed: "It's really delicious. Xihu is a specialty of Shanqi.
There is no such thing anywhere else, so it’s really hard to try it once.”
The Great Heavenly Master Zhang Yunyi smiled and said: "There is nothing you can't eat. If you like this bite, I will immediately order you to put a plate of the freshest ones on your old table every day."
Zhang Laodao shook his head and said: "If you eat it this way, the taste will change, and I can't bear it. Besides, Lao Dao has only been away for a few days, so it's not worth it to spend a lot of trouble just for this little appetite."
That’s right.”
Zhang Yunyi smiled and said: "What's the trouble..."
Zhang Laodao glanced at Shao Yuanjie, the Great Celestial Master of Jingweiji who was sitting next to him, and saw that he was always smiling and silent, so he waved his hand to Zhang Yunyi: "Yunyi, you go and toast your wine first, I will talk to Shao Celestial Master."
Words."
After Zhang Yunyi left, Zhang Laodao remained silent. He didn't speak, and Shao Yuanjie didn't speak either. He just kept picking out the melon seeds on the plate one by one and stuffing them into his mouth.
Smoking.
After a long time, Zhang Laodao said slowly: "Old Shao, what exactly do you want to do?"
Shao Yuanjie was still eating melon seeds and said nothing.
Zhang Laodao sighed: "I'm leaving. I'll go to Lushan next month...then Long Yangzi, then Duanmu, and then Zhongwen..."
Shao Yuanjie looked at the lively crowd with a smile and suddenly said: "I will be two hundred and forty years old next year, and Zhong Wen is already two hundred and three years old."
"Zhongwen should be able to catch up, he is rich..."
Shao Yuanjie said: "Not everyone can live to be three hundred years old like you."
Zhang Laodao was silent for a moment and continued: "I have been searching for seventy years in Xixia, Tubo, Beiyuan, and even in the countries of the Western Regions, but I still can't find Ganoderma lucidum Taisui. Last year, I broke the cave of Sutra Temple, and there was nothing in it... Lao Shao, you
I can't do anything about your injuries. But you still have sixty years to continue searching. I have told them and I that when will your injuries be healed and when will you ascend?"
Shao Yuanjie had a smile on his face and stared intently at everything in the Jade Emperor Palace Square, but his eyes were empty and he seemed to have seen nothing.
Zhang Laodao stared at Shao Yuanjie and said word by word: "Taomen, there can be no chaos!"
After a long time, Shao Yuanjie nodded slowly: "There will be no chaos."
When the banquet lasted into the evening, Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing appeared beside Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran had already taken the initiative to toast, and now it was these two who came to reciprocate. But to be honest, although Zhao Ran was a monk, these two were
The elder, who was also the top big shot in the Shifang Jungle, was able to return the favor, which really flattered Zhao Ran, and he quickly and respectfully drank three glasses of wine.
After finishing his drink, he heard Zhang Yangming say: "I have something that I want to talk to Abbot Zhao about. Can you please lend me a moment?"
Zhao Ran was frightened: "You two, please don't scare Xiaodao. If you have anything to do, just ask."
Zhang Yangming, Shen Yunjing and Zhao Ran came to a secluded pavilion in Hunyuanding. After the three of them sat across from each other, Zhang Yangming said: "When we were discussing matters in Yuanfu Palace last year, Abbot Zhao..."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "You two can just call me Zhiran."
Zhang Yangming nodded and continued: "Zhiran, you made a suggestion at that time, that the Guange monk should serve as the abbot of Shifang Jungle and preside over the fasting rituals, so as to strengthen the world's belief in our Taoist sect. After I returned, I spoke with Abbot Yun Jing
We discussed this matter many times and came up with a solution. Last year, we reported it to the real masters of the Zhenshi Hall. Later, it was revised several times. Among them, Tianshi Song from Jiuzhou Pavilion put forward many pertinent opinions. Tianshi Song also suggested that,
I want to ask for your opinion, after all, you are the original person who suggested this policy."
Shen Yunjing added: "At the end of last year, we wanted to contact you and ask you to help us with the details, but we had several correspondence with Xuanyuan Guanshu and you were not around..."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "Please take care of Zhang Jianyuan and Abbot Shen. At that time, Da Zhenren sent Xiao Dao to go on official business, and even my master's sect was not allowed to speak openly. However, the affairs at Wuji Yuan were explained in advance, and there was no delay.
…”
Shen Yunjing smiled and nodded: "I heard about it. Later I contacted Huayun Pavilion and your teacher said that you were out on business with Da Zhenren."
Zhao Ran took a folded copy from Zhang Yangming and read it carefully.
The name of the excerpt is "Edict for Guange Monks to Experience the Jungles of Ten Directions", which is in sharp contrast to the edict drafted by Jing Zhimo last year.
The edict talked about the major deficiencies currently existing in the fasting rituals in the jungles of the ten directions, and briefly stated the purpose of this edict, which is to make the saint of Taoism appear in the world, so that people from all over the world can bless the glory of Sanqing Taoist.
The edict clarified the corresponding relationship between the abbot of Shifang Jungle and the monks of the palace. The abbot of the county court can be served by Huang Guan, the abbot of the palace can be served by the mage or the great master, and the abbot of the province can be served by the alchemist or the great alchemist.
At the general level, a real person or a heavenly master takes over.
When he saw this, Shen Yunjing smiled and said: "In this way, in five years at most, Pindao can easily resign, and he has achieved his wish, haha."
