The ascension of Zhang Laodao and the Lord of Qingshan is the most important event in the Taoist sect this year. In addition to the Wudang Mountain viewing ceremony, his deeds will also be passed down to be published all over the world and recorded in the Taoist canon to inspire monks all over the world to pursue the Tao and inspire hundreds of millions.
The faith of all the people.
At the same time, various Taoist sects and governments will hold grand fasting rituals to celebrate. According to common practice, after a Taoist scholar ascends to heaven, a large wave of faith will gather. The faith of that year will usually be two to three hundred million more, which is considered to be
A piece of feedback from those who fly high.
The follow-up matters will be handled by Shifang Jungle, including there will also be a large fast at Wujiyuan in Guyang County, which requires Zhao Ran to take the time to prepare.
In the afternoon of the same day, the monks in the Hedao Realm left one after another. Before leaving, Long Yangzi said to Zhao Ran and Jiang Tenghe: "I am doing a cleansing at Yunxiantai in Yuhuang Pavilion. You will know when you can move there."
Say hello to me and I'll go with you."
Zhao Ran hurriedly agreed, and then suddenly remembered that he had always said that he was going to visit Feng Laodao and was grateful for his life-saving grace, but he was always busy with various trivial matters and did not take care of it. So he hurriedly looked for Feng Laodao, but he could not find him.
When we arrived, we asked Sun Biyun and found out that Feng Laodao had already gone down the mountain.
All the true masters from the True Master Hall also came to say goodbye one after another. Some were going back to their sects in the mountain, and some were returning to the main pavilion in Lushan. So Xu Yun'ao made an appointment with Jiang Tenghe to meet at the Helin Pavilion in Huotongshan, Fujian in October this year.
meeting.
Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing also came to say goodbye, but they were grabbed by Zhao Ran: "Supervisor Zhang, Abbot Shen, Xiaodao has a small idea that I would like to report to you. I wonder if you are free?"
Of course, these two people were free, so they asked Zhao Ran: "Zhiran, have you thought about it? When will you come to Jiujiang Xing County to take office?"
Zhao Ran said: "I can't hide anything from you two. This is what Xiaodao wants to report. These days, I have been thinking about this matter. Originally, I was very grateful for your kindness and wanted to go to Xing County to take up the post.
.But you two also know that Junshan Cave Heaven has been handed over to the care of the junior Taoist sect. If I go to Xing County, our sect will be even thinner in manpower."
Zhang Yangming thought for a while and said: "Then... how about going to Hongyuan?"
Zhao Ran said: "Is this... appropriate? Zeng Zhili is now the abbot of Hongyuan... Haha, actually what I want is that if it doesn't work, let me go to the White Horse Courtyard of Hongyuan and help Abbot Zeng, and become a third capital or something.
That’s fine too. Anyway, let’s help the sect gain a foothold in Songfan first, and then we’ll take care of the rest in the future. I wonder if you two can complete the path?”
Zhang Yangming sighed: "Zhiran is really pure and filial. He does not care about his own personal gain and loss for the sake of his master... Then go to Hongyuan. I will handle this matter. Zhiran doesn't have to worry about it."
Shen Yunjing nodded and said: "It's just that as a result, there is a vacancy for the abbot of Xing County. For the moment, I really can't think of anyone who can be as down-to-earth and willing to do the job as Zhiran."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked: "Supervisor Zhang, Abbot Shen, I wonder when the order for the monks in the pavilion to practice the Taoist priesthood in the Shifang Jungle will be issued?"
Zhang Yangming said: "The Zhenshi Hall held a meeting ten days ago, and this order is also being discussed. Yun Jing and I have discussed it and plan to issue it with a seal in two days."
Zhao Ran asked again: "I wonder if Xing County can be among the first batch of pilot counties?"
Zhang Yangming said: "I originally planned to include you in it, but if you, a monk who is proficient in secular affairs, don't go, Xingxian County is such an important place, but I dare not easily include it in the pilot program. I wonder if Zhiran has any good ideas? Or just say it.
Are there any good candidates you can recommend?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "If Xing County is not among the first batch of pilot county hospitals, I have a good candidate to recommend. This person's name is Zhao Zhixing, and he is currently the supervisor of Lingshe Hospital in Yongzhen, Songfan area."
After saying this name, both Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing were stunned.
Zhao Ran continued: "I know this person very well. He was born in Xuanyuanguan, Sichuan Province. He is modest, daring to do things, and has an enterprising spirit. At that time, he gave up his noble position as the doorman of Xuanyuan Guanke Hall and voluntarily went to Yongyuan.
Baimayuan was built from scratch in the town. Nowadays, the missionary work in Yongzhen is booming. Last year, the trust value reached 150,000 Gui, ranking first among the four counties of Songfan. It is not easy to achieve this achievement.
It also shows that he is very capable. Of course, this is just my opinion, the specifics will be considered by Zhang Jianyuan and Abbot Shen."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing looked at each other and said, "This is a very good proposal. Let's think about it after we go back."
Zhang Yangming added: "Zhiran, with your departure, the position of abbot of Guyang County has become vacant again. The specific person to take up the position will be selected from your Huayun Hall. Do you have anyone you are optimistic about and can you recommend it?"
"
Zhao Ran hesitated and said: "How can a little monk like me be able to comment on such a big matter? I won't get involved in it, right?"
Zhang Yangming shook his head and said: "No, no, I don't know. Abbot Yun Jing and I are actually very worried. If no monks come to perform their duties after the edict is issued, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? This is also what we have decided after careful consideration.
The reason is to choose one or two county hospitals as pilot projects.”
Zhao Ran thought about it and realized that this situation was really possible. Most of the monks were willing to cultivate in the Cave Heaven Paradise. The most extreme ones were like Wudang Mountain. The sect's inheritance was directly called the "Hidden Immortal Sect" and they were willing to preach in the jungles of all directions.
It's really hard to judge how many there are.
"What do you two mean?"
"What we mean is that Guyang County is the first county that has tried to have monks serve as abbots. We don't want any accidents to happen. Zhiran was born in Huayun Pavilion and knows the situation of the monks in the pavilion better. We hope that Zhiran will find someone after he returns.
Once we find a suitable monk and persuade him to take the initiative, what do you think?"
This was of course a great thing for Zhao Ran, and he immediately agreed. Guyang County has 100,000 people, and it is already a mature area for Zhao Ran to govern. It has a good believer base and is the main source of his merit.
.If a suitable abbot can be chosen, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui will continue to do things according to his method. With his prestige among the people of Guyang, the absorption of merit power will not be too obvious in at least ten years.
Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing had just left when Wu Tianshi came over again: "Zhiran, when will you go to Xixia?"
Zhao Ran patted his head: "Haha, I almost forgot about this. What, do you have any instructions?"
Master Wu Tian said: "The monks from Xixia have gone up to Lushan Mountain, and now they have gone to the foot of Wudang Mountain. They are eagerly waiting for your reply, when will the rainbow body be returned? Their Tianlongyuan Dharma Conference is still waiting to be held.
Ha ha ha ha!"
Zhao Ran joked: "Which monk is so bold? How dare you chase him to Lushan Mountain? Not only to Lushan Mountain, but also to Wudang? Don't our Sanqing Pavilion plan to resist arrest immediately?"
Wu Tianshi laughed: "Not only did I follow Wudang, but I also witnessed the great master's ascension just now."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "I have reviewed the list one by one, and I don't see any monks..."
Wu Tianshi said: "I brought him in here to let him admire our Taoist sect's ascension and see if he could instigate rebellion. Hehe. It's a pity that it's useless... This monk's name is Mingjue. He comes from Tianlongyuan. It is said that he is based on Baiyin Mountain.
Master Zhicheng of Qukong Temple is a disciple, how about I call him over and let you meet him?"
