Of course Qi Xuansu couldn't do this, so he contacted Chen Jianchou.
Secretary Chen rushed to the rescue immediately - that's what secretaries do.
This time Qi Xuansu made up his mind to meet the real person Donghua. Zhizi Mo Ruomu, others don't know, Qiniang must know Qi Xuansu. She is not helping Qi Xuansu make a decision, but helping Qi Xuansu make a decision. In other words, Qi Xuansu has already
He had the answer, but due to various reasons, Qi Xuansu had not yet made up his mind. At this time, someone had to give Qi Xuansu a push from behind.
Now that you have made up your mind, don't delay any longer.
It is a big event for Master Donghua to accept a disciple, so there is a lot of preparation work, such as preparing for the ceremony, inviting guests, etc. Qi Xuansu is not going to become a disciple immediately, but to give Master Donghua an answer. Then Master Donghua will start
Start preparing. When the day came for the official apprenticeship, Qi Xuansu went over to attend the ceremony. Witnessed by all the guests, the master-disciple relationship was officially established after the ceremony.
Qi Xuansu first contacted Gong Jiaojun to confirm the time of Donghua Zhenren.
To be a secretary, you must be alert and perceptive. After all, sometimes your boss won't speak so clearly and you must be obedient, which means everything is unspoken.
For example, Xie Jiaofeng is not very capable of doing things, but he does a very good job in this regard. Whether it is Wang Jiaohe, Chen Shuhua, Qi Xuansu, or Yao Shu, Zhang Yuelu, and Xu Jiaorong who are in charge, he is reprimanded
Not many, but his position as deputy palace master has always been stable. Whether it was Qi Xuansu's tiger attack or Zhang Yuelu's new policy, he was not affected too much. In addition to the backer of Donghua Zhenren, he himself is also very capable.
.
Gong Jiaojun is not bad either. As one of the closest people to Master Donghua, he certainly knows about Master Donghua and Qi Xuansu. Qi Xuansu is coming to visit Master Donghua now, most likely to settle the matter.
Once this matter is decided, it means that the pattern of Quanzhen Tao has undergone a major change. It will no longer be the Earth Master, Donghua Zhenren, and Yao Pei, but will become the Earth Master, Donghua Zhenren, and Qi Xuansu. Using the Buddhist teachings
According to the Dharma, Earth Master is the past Buddha, Donghua Zhenren is the present Buddha, and Qi Xuansu is the future Buddha. As a Bodhisattva accompanying the "Buddha", the secretary cannot use the previous attitude.
After all, you can't be close if you're not close.
The secretary will eventually be released, but the successor will inherit the mantle and become the new leader. It is clear at a glance which one is more important.
Gong Jiaojun still has this sensitivity, he started to deliberately lay the groundwork a long time ago, and now it has naturally come naturally, and he feels like a subordinate when facing Qi Xuansu.
Gong Jiaojun respectfully expressed that Master Donghua has time now.
Qi Xuansu soon arrived at Donghua Zhenren's residence. In fact, life was quite boring when he arrived at Donghua Zhenren's position. Apart from the endless official duties, his free time was just some personal hobbies, such as practicing calligraphy, painting, playing chess, Xuan Sheng
Cards and so on. However, playing chess and cards usually requires two people, and usually there is a lack of opponents. You can't play chess and cards with your secretary all day long, which would be boring. Therefore, many hobbies that can be done by one person have become a huge problem.
The hobbies of most real people.
As for the meeting of the three friends from Nanyang to fish whales, they are only a minority after all, and it must be done by an outside party. This cannot be done in the center. The key is to recruit people. To get along, Xiao Yin has been trying to join this small group for a long time.
, has never been able to do so.
Donghua Zhenren often paints in his spare time, sometimes landscapes, sometimes figures. Recently he plans to repaint the portraits of the ancestors of the past dynasties. He has completed the portraits of Li Zu, Zhang Zu and Yao Zu, and is preparing the portraits of Xu Zu and Xuan Sheng.
It should be put at the end.
When Qi Xuansu was writing, Chen Jianchou was waiting on the side. At this time, he turned around. At this time, Donghua was painting, and Qi Xuansu helped him grind the ink. Gong Jiaojun stepped aside with great discernment.
Donghua Zhenren was painting while talking to Qi Xuansu, his tone was quite casual, "Many problems of Taoism are not external, but internal. Throughout history, no huge empire has died because of foreign enemies, but all because of internal troubles. Internal troubles cannot be cured."
, which gives foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of. And internal troubles are closely related to talents."
"Xu Zu said it well. At the beginning of the Qingming Dynasty, the officials did not do anything without care and no one did not work hard. It was because of the hardships and hardships at that time that the only way to survive was to find a life from thousands of deaths. Now that it has gradually improved and the situation has stabilized, it is also
They gradually become lazy, the minority becomes the majority, and then laziness becomes the trend. Although there is great effort, it cannot be reversed and it is difficult to remedy. Some are driven by the desire for achievement and the party is united against dissent. When the talents gradually become exhausted and it is difficult to cope with the situation, the situation becomes
It’s getting complicated.”
Qi Xuansu said, "The real person is talking about our Taoist sect's talent reserve construction situation?"
Donghua Zhenren said, "I went down for a visit a few days ago. How should I put it? All of them have beautiful resumes. They either graduated with honors from Wanxiang Taoist Palace, or were from Shangqing Palace, Wuxu Palace, or Qingling Palace.
Those who top the exams, have all kinds of outstanding achievements and performances when they studied in the Taoist Palace, won this award, received that commendation, this should be replaced by a Western medal, which can be worn all over the upper body, like a fish scale armor
Same."
"But the problem is, it's enough to sit and talk. It's hard to explain in a word how to actually do things. Your feet don't touch the ground, and the soles don't touch the mud. They are blindly aloof, but out of touch with the bottom. If you want to find out the real situation from them, you are simply asking for a fish in the wood. Have you been to the New World?
, you should have come into contact with those exquisite instruments of the Steam Gospel. These people are like the dials on the instruments. Every time you press a button, a colored light will light up on the panel. However, God knows what the circuit behind the colored light is like. When
After you press it many times and find that there is no other reaction except the flashing of colorful lights, you realize that there is only this dial, and the machine behind it is not running at all."
The main responsibility of each Taoist palace is to train Taoist priests for Taoist sects. For example, Zhang Yuelu, she was not born in Wanxiang Taoist palace. She went to Zhang family school. This family school is under the name of Shangqing palace. She was actually born in Shangqing palace. In various
Among the Taoist palaces, the Wanxiang Taoist palace has the largest reputation and the highest legitimacy, so the training of high-quality Taoist priests is concentrated in the upper palace of the Wanxiang Taoist palace.
Qi Xuansu was born in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, but he didn't win any awards or commendations. In their department, the ones who won the most awards either died or entered, but both of them had something to do with Qi Xuansu. Yue Liu
It is no secret that Li was brought in by Qi Xuansu himself.
Of course, no one would talk about it now.
Qi Xuansu said, "It's best to start from the grassroots level."
Master Donghua put down his paintbrush and straightened up, "You came to see me today because of Jinque's affairs?"
Qi Xuansu asked, "The real person also knows?"
"It's obvious. There's no saying whether you know it or not. When you're under someone else's roof, don't put your head down. It's no big deal." Master Donghua took the hand towel handed by Qi Xuansu and wiped the ink on his hand.
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What does Zhenren mean?"
Donghua Zhenren said, "My attitude is consistent. I am firmly opposed to blind action and rash advancement, and I am also firmly opposed to the idea of quick victory. Don't be hasty when doing things. Rushing for quick success and quick benefits will lead to big problems."
Qi Xuansu was not surprised by this answer and said, "I think this Jinque discussion is actually a test."
Master Donghua said calmly, "Since it is a test, we must respond resolutely."
While talking, Master Donghua left the desk, walked to the chair next to him and sat down. He also motioned for Qi Xuansu to sit down and talk. Gong Jiaojun served tea to the two of them.
"By the way, how are you and Qingxiao's marriage prepared?" Master Donghua asked.
Qi Xuansu picked up the tea cup, "The time I came back to report on my work this time is too short, and there are too many things to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. I will probably wait until my term expires. I was quite anxious before and wanted to take advantage of my low cultivation level.
I want to have a child, but nowadays, it’s probably hard to expect a child, and with Xiao Yin, I don’t have to worry anymore.”
Master Donghua nodded slightly, "Future generations may not be able to inherit the mantle. A family inheritance will eventually end up in a strange situation of stagnant water. If the water does not rot, the door hinge will not be beetrooted. The father-son inheritance will not work in Taoism."
This is true. After Xuansheng took charge of the Taoist sect, even the inheritance of the Zhang family's Heavenly Master was rarely passed down from father to son. For example, the current Heavenly Master Zhang Wushou, his father is not a Heavenly Master, he has no descendants, and his son has no heirs.
It is impossible to be a Celestial Master. As a result, these three generations of Celestial Masters have no father-son relationship or ancestor-grandson relationship. Although the position of Celestial Master is still passed down within the Zhang family, it is difficult for father and son to be Celestial Masters at the same time.
Not to mention the Li family, they only have the surname Li, which makes people dizzy in terms of seniority. It is normal for the character "长" to be passed down from generation to generation to "you", and then the character "长" will be passed down from generation to generation.
, the remaining generation is dumbfounded, and this has nothing to do with the inheritance from father to son.
As for the Yao family, they seem to be the most normal, but it's hard to say exactly what they are like.
Master Donghua suddenly mentioned the master-disciple inheritance and the father-son inheritance, which was certainly not without purpose.
Qi Xuansu understood and said, "You should know that I have been a wild Taoist priest for several years."
"I heard something." Master Donghua nodded slightly.
Qi Xuansu went on to say, "When I was a wild Taoist priest, I once offended the Qingluan Guards in Fengtai County. At that time, I used a tiger skin as a banner to scare the people of the Qingluan Guards, saying that Donghua Master wanted to say hello to the commander.
Qingluan Guard mistakenly thought that I was Zhenren's disciple and did not come to pursue me."
"At that time, I knew the name of Zhenren, but I had no idea about 'Donghua Zhenren'. I thought that Zhenren was as big a person as the commander of Qingluan Guard. Looking back now, it was actually a joke. How could I ask Zhenren to give one
The reason for a commander to say hello is that the commander should say hello to a real person."
Master Donghua smiled and said, "Taoist sect is not Confucianism and does not value hierarchy so much. It is not impossible for me to say hello to him."
After that, Master Donghua told Gong Jiaojun, "Go and send an official letter to the commander of the Qingluan Guards. In my name, ask him how he is doing and whether he is in good health."
Gong Jiaojun took the order and left.
Qi Xuansu sighed softly, "Who would have thought that it would turn out to be a prophecy."
