The Wanxiang Dao Palace Tree has deep roots and the Master Zhang Gong is personally in charge. Naturally, an investigation team that was just going through the motions couldn't cause much trouble and left quickly.
There are no obvious actions from all parties, but various private actions are also paving the way for the next confrontation.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September, and the three-month study in the upper palace came to an end.
There is also a Mid-Autumn Festival between the Hungry Ghost Festival on July 15th and September 15th. This is not a traditional Taoist festival, but a secular traditional festival. It is listed as the three major festivals along with the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. It is only the Vientiane Taoist Palace
This festival is quite taboo. After all, there are many homeless children in the Wanxiang Dao Palace. This festival of reunion will inevitably make people sad. Therefore, the Wanxiang Dao Palace will not take the initiative to hold celebrations like the Ghost Festival, but private celebrations are allowed.
Celebrating below.
Qi Xuansu didn't like to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he spent the fifteenth day of August in the library of Genyuan.
After experiencing a rebirth, Qi Xuansu became much more relaxed when it came to practicing the "Magic Sword". Now he has successfully passed the test nine times out of ten times. He finally practiced the "Magic Sword" to the point of entering the palace in mid-September.
This is also reasonable. After Qi Xuansu experienced the "small rebirth" of the realm of training and transformation, his qualifications have barely equaled those of the banished immortals. The "magic knife" is a quick and heretical method. In addition, Qi Xuansu has become a heavenly being.
The cultivation level has been improved to a higher level, and it took three months to practice to a small extent, which is not too shocking. ??
After entering mid-September, regular classes no longer take place. The training members begin to pack their luggage, complete various handover procedures, and prepare to leave the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, while the Taoist Palace begins to prepare for the final seal-giving ceremony.
The Taoist sect is divided into two systems, one is the position, and the other is the Taoist grade.
For example, Qi Xuansu's position is the Taoist priest in charge of the eighth division of Ziweitang, and his rank is the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest.
There is a certain connection between the two. Some positions must reach a certain level by default before they can be held. Even positions and ranks are closely bound together. For example, the position of deputy head teacher must be tightly bound to the rank of a first-grade innocent Taoist priest.
, there has never been a precedent for a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest to serve as a deputy headmaster.
However, there is no fixed rank for lower positions. For example, the first level of deputy hall leader, up to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and down to the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest, can hold such positions. Head of the Hall, Head of the Palace, and Head of the Palace.
The minimum level is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, but a first-grade innocent Taoist priest can also serve.
Tokens and waistbands correspond to positions. In addition to proving identity, they also have various permissions and serve as keys. For example, the token in Sun Hewu's hand belongs to the master of the palace. As long as you hold this token,
can be untied
All prohibitions in the Vientiane Taoist Palace.
The conferred urn corresponds to the level of Taoist priests. Only those who have reached the level of the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest can have the conferred urn, and it is unique to each person. The fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest is initially awarded the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn", and the third-grade Youyi Taoist is promoted to
He was awarded the "Zhongji Sutra Rui", the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest was awarded the "Shangdong Sutra Rui", Shenzhi Zhenzhen was awarded the "Taixuan Sutra Rui", the first-grade Tianzhen Taoist was awarded the "Tai Shangdu Gong Sutra Rui", the deputy chief taught the great
The real person teaches "Tao Shang Tao Te Ching".
Logically speaking, Zhenzhi Zhenren and Deputy Headmaster Da Zhenren should not be counted within the scope of grades, but should be regarded as positions. However, because of their particularity, they have indeed become real levels. Zhenzhi Zhenren is higher than
The ordinary second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests and the deputy head master Da Zhen are also higher than the ordinary first-grade innocent Taoist priests, so there are special sutras corresponding to the two.
The Grand Master is not included in this list. He has neither tokens nor ultimatums or sutra urns, only a "Three Treasures Ruyi", which is similar to the Western scepter. It symbolizes the authority of the Grand Master and can open and close the Kunlun Cave.
It is also the identity certificate of the Grand Master, somewhat similar to the emperor's jade seal.
Of course, as the so-called Six Seals of the Emperor, the emperor has more than one jade seal. They are the emperor's official seal, the emperor's seal, the emperor's letter seal, the emperor's official seal, the emperor's seal, and the emperor's letter seal. They have different functions.
The emperor's official seal is used for all officials, the emperor's official seal is used for giving orders to princes and officials, the emperor's official seal is used for recruiting troops for war, the emperor's official seal is used for recruiting ministers, and the emperor's official seal is used for worshiping foreign affairs, serving the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
Use the Emperor's Seal.
The Grand Master also not only uses the "Three Treasures of Good Luck" as a token, he also has special seals, but there are not as many as six seals. There are only three seals, corresponding to creation, human beings, and ghosts and gods.
Nowadays, these things that belong to the Grand Master are sealed in the Zixiao Palace, waiting for a new owner.
Even if all kinds of symbolic meanings are put aside, the "Three Treasures of Good Luck" itself is still a genuine fairy. Before the integration of Taoism, Xuansheng and his wife liked to use it as a hammer. There was a Confucian priest who was
This Ruyi blow caused his brains to burst, and many immortals suffered heavy losses.
Later sutra urns were all modeled after the "Three Treasures Ruyi". In addition to proving identity and corresponding to certain permissions, they could also be used as a weapon.
For example, the "Tai Shang Dao Dao Jing Rui" of the three deputy headmasters corresponds to the Demon Suppressing Well Cave, the Demon Locking Tower Cave, and the Dragon Palace Cave respectively. The three deputy heads of the Da Zhenren can divide some times from the sutra.
level authority
people, assisting them in managing the cave. In addition, the "Tai Shang Tao Te Ching Urn" can also be used as a semi-immortal object equivalent to the "Gong Candle Staff". It is similar to a magic weapon. Each of the three sutra urns is different.
There is no way to know how mysterious the correspondences between heaven, earth, and human beings are, because the three deputy head masters rarely take action.
In the same way, in addition to various powers, the "Tai Shang Du Gong Sutra" of a first-grade innocent Taoist priest can also be used as a semi-immortal object equivalent to "no photographic paper".
By analogy, Shenzhi Zhenren's "Tai Xuan Sutra Urn" corresponds to the best treasure, the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest's "Shangdong Sutra Urn" corresponds to the top-grade treasure, and the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest's "Zhongji Sutra Urn" corresponds to the middle-grade treasure.
The "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" of the fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest corresponds to the lower-grade treasure.
After all, the sutra urn was made by the Taoist sect himself, and it was a matter of face, so there were no defective treasures. .??.
In other words, the enshrinement ceremony is a gift of a treasure for free.
Of course it's a great thing.
However, sutra urns cannot be bought and sold privately. Once discovered, the punishment will be very severe, ranging from the confiscation of the sutra urn to having the Taoist priest's grade reduced.
If you are demoted due to major mistakes, the original sutra must be turned in and replaced with one of the corresponding grade.
Speaking of which, the distribution and management of sutras are also within the scope of Ziweitang's responsibilities. Otherwise, Ziweitang is the head of the nine halls.
The enshrinement ceremony was arranged in the auditorium of Qianyuan, and was presided over by the Master Zhanggong himself. However, the Master Zhanggong generally did not attend in person, but was handed over to Sun Hewu or Ning Lingyun. Strictly speaking, the Master Zhanggong After handing it over to Sun Hewu, it depends on Sun Hewu's mood. If he is happy, he will give it to him personally. If he is not happy, he will push it down and hand it over to Ning Lingyun, a junior.
Ning Lingyun has no room to push down, so Ning Lingyun's power depends on the mood of the two old guys above. When neither of them cares about things, the power in his hands is comparable to that of the real person in charge of the palace. Both of them are in charge of things. When the time comes, he will return to his normal second place.
This year is special, so Sun Hewu decided to confer the urn in person.
On the day of the enthronement, everyone attended in formal attire. After a brief summary and encouraging speech, they came forward one by one and lined up.
Sun Hewu starts from the right, followed by two special Jinzi teachers. One is holding the Sumeru object sent from Ziweitang, and the other is responsible for handing Sun Hewu the "First True Sutra Urn".
The first person in line was Yao Pei. Sun Hewu handed the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" to Yao Pei's hand and said with emotion: "When I was giving the urn last time, I stood there.
The girl in this position is the girl from the Zhang family. This time, I will be the one to give the throne, and it will be you, the girl from the Yao family, who will stand in this position. When I give the gift next time, it will probably be the boy from the Li family who will be standing in this position."
Yao Pei took the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" with both hands and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for teaching me the urn."
Next to Yao Pei was Qi Xuansu. When Sun Hewu came to Qi Xuansu, he did not rush to take the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" from the hands of Te Jin Jin Zi, but looked at Qi Xuansu up and down: "It's amazing, it's amazing, no." Heavenly beings who reach the age of thirty have a bright future."
Qi Xuansu lowered his head slightly, not knowing what to say.
Sun Hewu reached out and patted Qi Xuansu on the shoulder: "Zhang Yatou came from Dazhen Palace, Yao Yatou came from Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and Li Xiaozi came from Zhenjing Villa. Although he came to our palace to study, he is not Among the people of Wanxiang Dao Palace, you are the only one who comes from our Wanxiang Dao Palace. If you can stand out, it will bring glory to the face of our Wanxiang Dao Palace. So, work hard, follow the right path, and don't take crooked ways."
Qi Xuansu stood up straight, and his many words could only be reduced to one word: "Yes."
Sun Hewu then took the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" from Te Jin Jin Zi's hands and handed it to Qi Xuansu's hands.
Qi Xuansu took it with both hands and solemnly said: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for giving me the casket."
Sun Hewu smiled slightly and walked towards the next person.
Qi Xuansu carefully looked at the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn" in his hand. It was essentially a special talisman, but with an extra jade horizontal axis, which could be folded up into the shape of a scroll. It was also tied with silk thread for ease of use. Hang on the waist.
Nowadays, Qi Xuansu has many small objects hanging on his waist, such as decorative jade pendants, imitation "Nine Yang Lihuo Shield", waist badges of the Taoist priests in charge of Ziweitang, and now "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn".
The functions of the sutra can be continuously superimposed. In other words, the "Zhongji Sutra" is to add new functions on the basis of covering the "Primary Sutra", and so on, to the "Tai Zhen" of the deputy headmaster.
"Shangdaodejinglu" not only has a unique function, but also includes all the functions of the previous sutras.
The biggest function of "Chu Zhen Sutra" is not to fight with others, but to serve as a talisman that can be used repeatedly, and there is no time limit. However, the disadvantage is that it can only bind one person, and the other party must also have
Taoist scriptures.
Qi Xuansu must be bound to Zhang Yuelu, but he then thought about it. With Qiniang's methods, she might have a scripture in her hand. If he bypassed her, the mother-in-law would be jealous again, and the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would also be a problem.
