On the last day of October, Du Teng, the superintendent of Tianhe Palace, came to the White Horse Courtyard in Hongyuan in person to preside over the second public recommendation in Zhao Ran's career.
When Du Teng came to Hongyuan, he did not bring as many followers as he did in the mainland. He only brought four people to patrol the hall, as well as the party leader and Gao Gong to accompany him. He knew the situation in Hongyuan better and knew that the people he brought were too
There are so many people that it is difficult for White Horse Court to receive them.
That night, Du Teng will talk to the deacons of Yuan Supervisor of Baima Yuan, Sandu, and the Eight Great Deacons one by one, and personally inquire about various matters that will be announced tomorrow. Since Zhao Ran made a delay in the Ye Xueguan Grand Council, the entire Daomen of Sichuan Province
Before the public recommendation, people consciously or unconsciously began to popularize the "talk" system to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the public recommendation.
On the first day of November, the White Horse Courtyard held a public promotion ceremony. Zhao Ran was elected as the second abbot of the White Horse Courtyard with all 43 votes.
Du Teng took a deep breath and said, "Zhiran was successfully enthroned. This time I feel relieved."
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "With Du Jian Yuan escorting me, I have nothing to worry about."
Du Tenghui shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. Although Hongyuan is small and remote, things always happen, so you have to be careful in the future. Okay, it will be your turn to ascend the throne in a while, go and prepare."
After the public recommendation, Zhao Ran officially became the abbot, so he went down and changed into the abbot's ceremonial robe. According to the enthronement rituals, he received the three altars' great precepts. After inviting gods, starting memorials, paying homage and other procedures, he was officially enthroned.
Zhao Ran's enthronement ceremony was open to the public. In addition to the Taoist priests of the academy, Huo Gong laymen, hundreds of merchants from Hongyuan City, and the common people heard that the new abbot was enthroned, they all crowded in to watch.
Zhao Ran made careful preparations for the ascension ceremony, specially refining a third-level talisman "Inviting God Talisman", and also prepared many consumables with spiritual power, the total value of which should be more than 200 taels of silver. Baimayuan is not that wealthy.
, Zhao Ran gritted his teeth and paid for it out of his own pocket.
He spent a lot of money to prepare, of course, in order to win over his colleagues in the White Horse Court and frighten the people of Hongyuan. After his talisman was typed along with the Qing Ci, a golden light suddenly appeared on the throne, and Zhao Ran recited "Tai Shang Wen Chang Bao"
In the sound of "Confession", a phantom gradually took shape.
This phantom statue wears a green jade veil on its forehead, embraces a long-handled Ruyi, wears golden court clothes, has a three-inch beard, and has an indescribable majesty in its square face. It is Wenchang who is in charge of fame and wealth.
Emperor.
Including Du Tenghui, all the Taoist priests in the palace bowed in solemn obeisance and bowed to Emperor Wenchang. The people watching the ceremony were speechless and dumbfounded, and then they prostrated themselves in admiration.
The emperor's shadow opened his eyes and shouted: "Who are you?"
Zhao Ran replied: "Disciple Zhao Zhiran, today I am officially elected as the abbot of the White Horse Courtyard in Hongyuan. I respectfully receive the emperor's instructions."
The emperor's phantom said: "Upright!" Then it gradually dispersed and the figure disappeared.
Du Teng waited for the Taoist priests to stand up and looked at the place where the emperor disappeared in amazement.
Zhao Ran received the holy teachings, walked up to the throne slowly, and sat down upright.
This is the effect of a third-level god-inviting talisman. It can invite the phantom of the great god to appear for a moment. But it is just that. The emperor's rank is too high, and more than two hundred taels of silver will never be able to summon the deity. The effect is different from that of the gods.
The phantom of the earth deity invited out of Wujiyuan is completely different.
The phantom that appeared was one of his thousands of phantom clones. According to the Taoist sect, it would be of some benefit to the fame and fortune of the worshipper.
Of course, if you can invite the emperor's incarnation to come down, the benefits will be great, but with the power of this world, even if you can create a ninth-level magic talisman, you won't be able to do it.
But even so, it was enough to have a strong deterrent effect. At this moment, even Du Teng would sit quietly and listen to Zhao Ran's explanation.
"Tao is originally nameless, and it is nameless at the beginning of heaven and earth. The beginning of heaven and earth is called Hunyuan. At the beginning of Hunyuan, it is formless and imageless. It is divided into two rituals and can give rise to all phenomena. Therefore, it is called Tao. It originated from Longhan and the Three Emperors The teachings based on it, and the five emperors' governance based on it, began with unity, simplicity and nature, and then divided the periods of cold and summer into the order of yin and yang. The ancient saints followed this, without words or teachings, without caring about things, and things come and return; If you teach the people, they will all respect you. This is a simple and simple way of heaven..."
Zhao Ran ascended to the throne today to preach. The first lecture was "Su Lu Zi" in Tao Zang. "Su Lu Zi" is a very distinctive part among the many classics in Tao Zang. It is divided into "Lu Dao", "Lu De", Chapters such as "Lu Zhong", "Lu Xiao", "Lu Ren", and "Lu Yi" take Tao as the origin, elaborate on various methods of governing the world, find and explore the principles of Tao followed, and highlight the " Practical requirements such as "walk" and "go".
In this book of Taoism, the guiding ideology and premise of Confucianism's governance is clarified, that is, Tao is the foundation of Confucianism, Tao is the source, Confucianism is policy, Tao is learning, and Confucianism is technique. While looking for theoretical basis for Confucianism's governance, It also provides a tool for the metaphysics of Tao to be concrete and subtle.
Based on the special system of Hongyuan Baimayuan, Zhao Ran believes that it is very right to preach this "Su Lu Zi", which can also be regarded as supplementing the theoretical roots of his innovative approach of "unity of Tao and Ya". .
Zhao Ran's daytime invitation to the gods during the enthronement ceremony of the White Horse Court spread throughout Hongyuan and even Songfan. These are things for later and will not be detailed for now. That night, Zhao Ran got the appointment document from Tianhe Palace. .
After practicing for Du Tenghui, Zhao Ran returned to the abbot's house, screened away the Taoist priests from Baima Court who came to see him for instructions, told them not to disturb him, and then unfolded the ultimatum.
The appointment document was instantly absorbed by Zhao Ran, and the exercises in Chapter 4 of the "Innate Merit Sutra" appeared in his mind. This is about how to make the elixir generate spiritual consciousness after forming the elixir, so that the spiritual consciousness can be placed on things to form the original destiny. The method of Yuanshen. From a realm perspective, it is a technique for breaking through from the mage realm to the archmage realm.
Zhao Ran is still a Huangguan monk, but when he was promoted to the abbot of Wujiyuan, he had already obtained the technique of forming pills. Now that he has been promoted to the abbot of Baimayuan, he has also obtained the technique of condensing the soul. In the next few years, , he will no longer be troubled by Kung Fu. This was also the opportunity he took when he was discussing matters in Ye Xueguan.
After getting the next two steps of the exercises, Zhao Ran had a good sleep. When he woke up the next day, he asked Dian Zaofang to find all kinds of documents received and issued by Baima Court in the past three years. Read them carefully one by one.
To govern a place is not to start gesticulating immediately after arriving at the land to realize the so-called "ambition in the heart." Of course, Zhao Ran had a set of plans for the direction of governing and the goals he hoped to achieve before coming, but these were only directions and rough outlines. How to start the process depends on the actual situation of Baimayuan.
If the plan is feasible, then adjust it based on actual conditions and implement it slowly. If it is not suitable, make changes and look for opportunities to try it out step by step. If there is any violation of the actual local conditions, then simply overturn it and start over, or even abandon it.
If you want to understand the actual situation, the first step is to read the documents and do your homework.
