As a responsible Taoist priest, Zhao Ran misses Xiu Mu every New Year. After the New Year's Eve, he immediately returns to the White Horse Courtyard and hosts four fasting festivals in a row.
While presiding over the fasting ceremony, he received two official documents.
The first is the "Credibility Book" in the 23rd year of Jiajing. Zhao Ran couldn't wait to turn to the Sichuan article. The total credit value of Sichuan Province for the whole year reached 55.07 million guine, rising one place among the provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
Reached eighth.
Looking at Long'an Prefecture again, the total trust value for the year reached 3.15 million Gui, and its ranking also rose one place, ranking tenth. It was only 500,000 Gui less than Tongchuan Prefecture, which had twice the number of people. Among them,
, Guyang County alone reached 1.5 million Gui, accounting for more than 40% of the entire Long'an Prefecture.
What Zhao Ran is most concerned about is Song Fan, which ranks last in the province. Song Fan's total credibility has increased by more than 50% compared with last year, rising from 380,000 Gui to 580,000 Gui. The growth rate is quite impressive.
Looking at the rankings of various county hospitals, among the four counties of Songfan, the first one is Songfan County, including Tianhe Palace and Feilong Yuan, the second is Yongzhen County Lingshe Yuan, and the next two are respectively
They are Baimayuan in Hongyuan Special Mission Area and Guishouyuan in Xiaohe County.
The trustworthiness of Baimayuan in the 20th year of Jiajing was 19,000 Gui, and in the 21st year of Jiajing it was 20,300 Gui. In November of the 22nd year of Jiajing, Zhao Ran took office as the abbot of Baimayuan, and the trustworthiness value increased that year.
to twenty-three thousand gui.
In the 23rd year of Jiajing, the trustworthiness of Baima Yuan surged to 138,700 Gui, an increase of more than six times! Among them, March was the month with the fastest growth. Zhao Ran remembered clearly that in that month it exceeded
For the whole of last year, Zongguan Jiuzhou Pavilion made a special post for verification.
In this year, Hakuba-in realized a leap-forward development in credibility. It went directly from the last place in Songfan to overtaking Oga Kamesu-in in a corner and surpassed Kamesu-in, which was originally ranked third.
Out of 36,000 gui. Of the 200,000 guili that the entire Song Domain grew, Hakubayuan contributed 115,000 guili, accounting for more than half.
Calculating the accounts from the perspective of the Zongsheng Guan, the share of the 580,000 Gui that the Zongsheng Guan can use is 348,000 Gui, which can be used to confer burials on four Huang Guan or nine Taoist priests.
Confer urn, or give urn to nineteen Taoist priests.
The "Business Book" published every year is Zhao Ran's favorite official document. It is really fun for him to read page by page and calculate line by line.
However, after reading the credibility situation of Songfan and Baimayuan, and then going back to read the credibility of each province, my good mood was polished a lot.
Compared with the 22nd year, the total credibility of the Ming Dynasty not only did not increase, but decreased by 63 million, with a total value of 1.22 billion. Although in the 22nd year, the Buddhist monks Xuanci and Zhang were besieged and killed.
The two major events of Lao Dao's ascension stimulated a lot of increase in credibility, but Zhao Ran compared the data for the past twenty-one years. After excluding the increase of about 51 million caused by these two events, there was still a decrease of one thousand.
Two million.
Zhao Ran found that the decreases were mainly in Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Henan, which made him feel a little worried.
The second official document was the list of the new batch of pilot Taoist temples revealed to him by Miss Jiu from Longhu Mountain on New Year's Eve. Songfan Xiaohe County Guishouyuan was among them.
According to the requirements of the "Edict for Monks from Guange and Pavilion to Enter the Forests of Ten Directions" promulgated by the General View, the abbotship of the Taoist temples listed in the list should be filled by a monk with a yellow crown or above from the Guange in the state capital where it is located. Therefore,
, the abbot of Guishouyuan in Xiaohe County will be selected from the monks of the Zongsheng Hall.
Zhao Ran was a Taoist priest at the Zongsheng Hall and was responsible for liaising with Tianhe Palace. Therefore, after the official document, he attached a letter from Tianhe Palace to him, asking Tianhe Palace to select an abbot.
What is the situation of the monks in the Zongsheng Hall? Zhao Ran is like a mirror in his mind. On the Louguan sect, the senior brother is a great mage. In the future, he may consider becoming the abbot of Tianhe Palace. The level of Guishouyuan is a bit low; the second senior brother Yu Zhichuan is about to
He was in seclusion to prepare for the golden elixir, and given his temperament, it was also not suitable for him. Third senior brother Luo Zhiqing was only focused on cultivation and fighting, so he asked him to go to Guishouyuan to preside over the fasting rituals. Firstly, he couldn't do it, and secondly, even if he knew how, he wouldn't.
Yes, if you go, you will lose this job in vain.
As for Qu Fenghe, he is only in the Taoist realm now. If he plans to become a Taoist priest this year, we should wait until he reaches the Huangguan level.
Therefore, Zhao Ran went to Du Tenghui to ask for this abbot years ago. In fact, his eyes were on the Wenqing Sect. The senior sister Zheng Yutong joined Huang Guan at the age of twenty-seven. Speaking of which, she was also a member of the Huayun Pavilion.
The flower of tomorrow has entered the country very quickly, but unfortunately, the flower of tomorrow has not come true. This flower of tomorrow has turned 40 this year, but it is still lingering on the edge of the golden elixir, unable to enter.
Zhou Yumo, who ranked fifth in Qingqing Valley, entered the Golden Pill three years ago at the age of 24. Song Yuqiao, who ranked fourth, also entered the Golden Pill last year when she turned 31. As a senior sister, her heart is
You can imagine how depressed you are.
In Zhao Ran's view, Senior Sister Zheng must have talent, otherwise she would not have been expected to be the next generation successor of Wenqing Valley. As for why her practice has stagnated for so long, and she has failed in two consecutive retreats, except for Jin
The elixir itself is extremely difficult to break outside the country, which may also be related to the method taught by Master Lin.
Since you are practicing the Five Emotions Art, how can you be ruthless if you stay in the mountain gate all day without experiencing emotions? To put it bluntly, if you don't even know how to write the word "love", what can you do to "absolve" it?
The negative examples of Zhou Yumo and Song Yuqiao can also prove that these two people who often went out to work successfully succeeded in forming elixirs one after another. One was after being exposed by Zhao Ran, and the other was after going to Xingqing to meet Cheng An and suffered a setback.
As for Cao and Zhuang, they have also experienced love affairs, but why they are still Taoist priests to this day? Zhao Ran can only say that he has never touched the bones of these two people, so he must be limited by this.
But now there is a good opportunity to pull Zheng Yutong out to experience the world of mortals. Zhao Ran doesn't know if he can experience love. At least it is better than cultivating in the mountains, right?
This was Zhao Ran's first thought after hearing that Ninth Girl said that Kun Dao could serve as the abbot of Shifang Jungle. Ninth Girl can go, why can't Zheng Yutong?
After the Lantern Festival, Zhao Ran gave himself half a month's leave while giving rest to the Taoist priests of the Baimayuan Taoist sect. He had many things to deal with, and he couldn't just focus on the three acres of Hongyuan.
Divide land.
The first thing is to go back to Dajun Mountain to persuade Zheng Yutong.
Zhao Ran handed over the affairs to Yuan Hao, then left Baima Court and rushed to Dajun Mountain. As usual, he did not need to be picked up by Taoist Nangui because he wanted to take the opportunity to observe the sentiments of the people.
Zhao Ran remembered it inexplicably. It seemed that he hadn't seen Bai He for a while. He tried to activate Bai He several times in a row, but couldn't summon it. He didn't know what she was doing mysteriously.
After walking twenty miles south from the city and passing Baihua Slope, Zhao Ran tripped over a gray stone and almost ate a mouthful of dirt!
He stopped involuntarily and was stunned for a long time, his face uncertain.
