The Law of the Daomen (Chapters 201-205)

Chapter 201: The Sixteenth Year of Jiajing

Zhao Ran inserted the three pillars of incense into the incense burner, looked up at the niche, and for a long time, he saw that none of the dozens of runes on the niche were covered, so he looked at Master Cai.

Master Cai waved his sleeve and collected all these charms in the golden light cylinder, and with another wave, dozens of runes filled the niches. These runes are the eighth class of gods such as the Messenger of Gong Cao, the Golden Boy and the Jade Girl, the ZhiFu Xiang Guan, the Law Enforcement Civilized Yin and Yang Gong Cao, the Disaster Elimination and Disaster Relief Junjun Official, the Twenty-Four Solar Supervisor Generals, and the Four Supervisors of the Gong Gong Gurudwara Immortal Spirit Zhi Zhi Zhi.

Zhao Ran held the incense and prayed again, but there was still no induction.

Master Cai was slightly surprised, and then took out the positions of the seventh-rank gods and immortals, including the Liujia official general, the immortal supervisor zhenguan, the Sheji general all the spirit divisions, and so on, and also did not have any sense with Zhao Ran.

The positions of the sixth-class gods and counties, including the True Officials of the Scriptures, the Immortals of the Immortals, the Nine Heavenly Imperial Histories, the Attendants, the Heavenly Masters of the Xuanshi, and the Three Treasures, still had no induction.

Master Cai couldn't help but sigh, and then the number of runes that were taken out of the golden light cylinder was obviously reduced, and this time each one had a name.

Zhao Ran looked up, and in the front row were three fu zhen, namely the three emperors of the Shangyuan Blessing Heavenly Official Ziwei The Great, the Zhongyuan Forgiveness Land Official Qingxu Emperor, and the Xiayuan Xie'e Shuiguan Dongyin Emperor, followed by the Eastern Yue Taishan Tianqi Rensheng Emperor, the Southern Yue Hengshan Sitian Zhaosheng Emperor, the Zhongyue SongShan Zhongtian Chongsheng Emperor, the Western Yue Huashan Golden Heavenly Wishing Saint Emperor, and the Northern Yue Hengshan An Tianxuan Sheng Emperor; and then the Four Seas Emperor and the Twelve Heyuan Immortal Emperors...

Seeing Zhao Ran's nervous look, Master Cai comforted: "Zhao Zhiran, there is no need to be rigid, in fact, for my generation, why the fate of the god is irrelevant, often there are ordinary people who are destined to be honored by the status of the god, and there are real people, heavenly masters and other Daomen predecessors who have been destined to be the god of the land and mountain." Do you know which god the Jade Emperor Pavilion Yuan Grand Alchemist hit ying shen? Oh, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but it's a ninth-class yellow turban lux. ”

Isn't there a connection between fateful God and future cultivation achievements? Zhao Ran was a little discouraged, well, then what should I do.

The fifth-class gods and immortals still have mayi induction, followed by the Seven Elements of the Big Dipper, the Six Stars of the Southern Dipper, the Twenty-Eight Heavenly Divisions of the Week, and the True Lords of the Various Departments...

Zhao Ran prostrated his head a little dizzy, straightened up and slowed down, and then prayed three more times: the Great Sage of the Heavens, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, the True Immortal... His eyesight was excellent, and he saw Erlang Zhenjun Yang Jian with a three-pointed and two-edged knife and a crouching Heavenly Dog at his feet, and secretly thought, if his fate should be Yang Jian, although it was useless for his own cultivation, wouldn't it be tight to say it?

Unfortunately, Zhao Ran still had no connection with Yang Jian, and there was still no induction among the third-class gods and immortals.

This time it was the second class, there were only eleven runes, namely the Six Emperors and the Five Fangs.

Zhao Ran had finished paying tribute to the incense, and had just knelt back on the futon when he saw a faint golden glow emanating from a rune in the center, rising from the niches and hanging in the void. When I fixed my eyes on it, it was the Haotian Golden Que Supreme Supreme Who sat on the throne of the Emperor, who naturally had Miluo to the True Jade Emperor God.

Even if you found out your old man's home, Zhao Ran gave a sigh of relief, and everyone in the niches also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Only Master Cai seemed to have a different look. Zhao Ran carefully inquired, but Master Cai smiled and shook his head, pushing that it was okay, but how Zhao Ran looked at it and felt that this mage was wrong.

Since the fate of the god was fixed, Master Cai sent a flying letter to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and after more than an hour, a white light flashed, and Master Cai reached out and slapped it on his forehead, and smiled at Zhao Ran: "Prepare, after three days, the Statue of the Jade Emperor will take the throne... You can carve a plaque in this main hall, called the Jade Emperor Hall. ”

For the next three days, the people lived in the squatter's room of the Junshan Temple, and all kinds of furniture that had been ordered before were delivered one after another, and the magic tools and objects needed for the dojo's sermon were gradually completed, waiting for the statue of the Jade Emperor to take its place.

At first, Master Cai was still excited to go up the mountain to worship the Five Colors Master, and after talking about it, he found that the Five Colors Master had a very shallow understanding of the Fa, and at the same time did not dare to be interested, so he did not bother to go again, and only discussed with Zhao Ran from time to time, which made Zhao Ran's knowledge of the Formation Law increase.

Compared with Zhao Ran, Master Cai's harvest was even greater, and his gain was mainly in verification, that is, taking out many of the formation theories that were originally incomprehensible, so that Zhao Ran could deploy the formation according to the final effect of the formation, sometimes three or five times, sometimes ten or eight times, and he was observing and thinking from the sidelines.

In other words, Master Cai is like a theoretical school, while Zhao Ran belongs to the practical school, and the two people collide together, stirring up countless sparks, but also complementing each other.

On several occasions, the formation method that Master Cai wanted to verify was more complicated, and the magic weapon taken out was more advanced, and Zhao Ran's ability could not be controlled, so Zhao Ran instructed Master Cai to deploy and control the array. However, the flow of the Heaven and Earth Qi Machine is changeable, and each moment has a different performance, so it is necessary for the controller to be able to make a response at any time, and Zhao Ran's process of "guiding" Master Cai's control array will always have a short lag, which leads to the effect of the formation method is not particularly good.

Therefore, Master Cai was angry at Zhao Ran's Daoist deeds, and he was quite a bit resentful of iron not steel. Unfortunately, the array disk cannot be clever, only the array of his own refining can be handy, and Zhao Ran has long experienced this. Therefore, without Zhao Ran pleading, Master Cai himself began to hurry up.

Master Cai gave Zhao Ran a list of various medicinal materials to supplement the Yuan Essence, some of which were in his own storage bag, and the rest had to put pressure on Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi to make him think of ideas. Poor two Uncle Zhuo were reprimanded by Master Cai Haosheng, and could only say two sentences while repairing the book and returning to Huayun Hall to beg.

At the end, Master Cai also sighed and said to Zhao Ran, it is a pity that the essence blood of the Xuanjia Turtle cannot be found for the time being, otherwise a drop will make Zhao Ran's essence strong, and the refining level will no longer be so difficult to overcome.

One day before the New Year's Pass, a carriage carrying the statue of the Jade Emperor arrived at the Junshan Temple, and Master Cai personally cast a spell to arrange the statue of the Jade Emperor on the niche. The statue was draped in red satin, with a solemn face and a little kindness in solemnity, and Zhao Ran couldn't help but look at it.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the sixteenth year of Jiajing, the Junshan Temple officially launched the Opening Ceremony, presided over by Master Cai himself, and four people, Zhuo Tengyun, Zhuo Tengyi, Zhao Ran, and Jin Jiu, protected the Fa. More than 2,000 people in the entire Junshan area crowded around the Junshan Temple, and in order, entered the Jade Emperor Hall to worship the Jade Emperor God.

The entire ceremony took more than three hours, zhao ran, as the founder of the Junshan Temple, handed incense to every people who came to worship, and Master Cai blessed them one by one. The Junshan Temple is full of incense candles, smoke, bells and drums, and chanting in unison.

On that day, the meritorious power within Zhao Ran's qi sea was instantly full, and Zhao Ran transformed overnight, and when he was busy until dawn, he consumed all these meritorious powers, but the next day, the people came to pay homage to the incense again, and the meritorious power was full again, and Zhao Ran was surprised and continued to transform overnight. If so three times, it is not until after the third year of junior high school that the upward trend of meritorious power gradually calms down.

Zhao Ran roughly estimated that in just three days, it was equivalent to half of the merit gained in the past year, which was really a big achievement. And this is not the end, as long as the people sincerely worship incense and pray, the meritorious power within his qi sea will continue to be cultivated, compared to the charity hall, rescue station and other initiatives, in terms of the acquisition of meritorious power, Junshan Temple can be described as the best incubator of meritorious power. Although Zhao Ran also gained a lot of meritorious power in handling the charity fund loan, it was a one-time event after all, far less than the longevity of the Junshan Temple.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but start to wonder, if he could one day become the prison of wuji yuan, what kind of surprise would it be?

Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi soon received the medicinal herbs sent by Huayun Hall, and after handing them over to Master Cai, the two of them resigned and left.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, although Zhao Ran obtained the medicinal materials to make up for the Jingyuan, he knew in his heart that HuayunGuan had completely repaid his personal kindness for offering the elixir "Seven Treasures Pine Root", and even prepaid part of the "account" of the "Five Flowers and Fragrant Cloud Leaves" in advance. Next, if he wanted to go to Huayun Hall to be assigned a position, Zhao Ran was afraid that he would need to pay more.

Chapter 202: Named Disciple

Master Cai mixed his medicinal herbs and the batch sent by Huayun Hall into one place, spent a night, boiled out a pot of medicinal soup, and prescribed a daily dosage for Zhao Ran, so that he could drink it on time within a month. He lived in the Junshan Temple until the seventh day of the first lunar month, observed in detail the situation after Zhao Ran took the medicine, and then resigned.

Before leaving, Master Cai told Zhao Ran that as long as he finished taking the soup medicine, he was expected to enter the Yushi Realm within eight years.

Eight years is an accurate numerical concept, which is absolutely indistinguishable from the original "at least ten years or more", at least giving Zhao Ran a clear goal to strive for.

For this Cai Mage from the Jade Emperor's Pavilion, Zhao Ran was not only grateful or grateful, people did not have any affinity with him, but he was very good to himself, not only taught himself many formation theories, but also mixed up the soup medicine for himself to make up for the essence, in addition, he also said that he was looking for opportunities to find a way to get the essence of the Xuanjia turtle for himself. Regardless of whether Master Cai could find it or not, at least people had this intention, and Zhao Ran was enough to receive the hospitality.

It's just that this hospitality seemed a little abrupt to Zhao Ran, until Master Cai resigned and left, he felt very ashamed and uneasy, so he gritted his teeth and sent out a piece of Seven Treasure Pine Root.

When he suddenly received this gift, Master Cai was a little surprised, but he did not refuse and directly smiled. Zhao Ran saw that he had accepted his gift, and his feeling of guilt only improved slightly.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ran did not know how precious the pot of soup medicine that Master Cai had prepared for him was, at least he was still in the dark for the time being, and the reason why the two masters of the Table Family rushed back to huayun Hall was related to these medicinal materials that Master Cai had asked for.

A piece of Seven Treasures Pine Root is just that, Master Cai deserves this generous gift!

Throughout the first month, Zhao Ran was enjoying the benefits of being a Temple Blessing of the Junshan Temple, and the stable merit power was in his hands, most of which he used to transform into mana, and the mana strength within the Qi Sea was getting higher and higher, in the words of Daomen cultivation, that is, "the true power is getting thicker and thicker."

As he took the soup medicine every day, the essence in his body gradually increased a lot, and when the soup medicine was taken, Zhao Ran felt that the essence of the soup had doubled. However, according to the words of the five-color master, it is only that, if there is no greater opportunity, a soup medicine like this will not have a greater effect if it is taken again.

Despite this, Zhao Ran was still quite fortunate, at least after eight years, he was expected to break through the Daoist Realm, which was better than the previous "ten or twenty years"!

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Zhao Ran received a Lantern Gift from Huayun Hall, which was given by Zhu Zhimeng, and the gift was the Zhilan Spirit Medicine Recipe that he had asked for. Zhao Ran opened it, and the page was densely covered with fly-headed letters, along with sketching graphics outlined in light ink. He and Zhu Zhimeng lived under the same roof for a year, and they were all too familiar with each other's handwriting, and when they saw each other at this moment, they couldn't help but lose their minds and remembered the experience of mutual pity.

Compared with the Zhilan Spirit Medicine Spectrum, Zhao Ran examined the large number of medicinal materials in his wrench finger one by one, and found that more than 70% of them were recorded, including many of the top one hundred spirit medicines. He sorted out the elixirs and then looked through the notes in the book, and was slightly disappointed—none of these herbs were used to make up for the essence.

In the middle of the new month is the busiest day in the Daomen Ten Square Jungle, and the Junshan Temple is no exception, almost every day to hold the Jai Gong Ke Yi, some of which are held by the Junshan Temple itself, some of which are invited by the people in the Junshan area, and the busyness is too long to be done. Zhao Ran would often hear Jin Jiu complain to him, saying that he was already exhausted, and that zhao Ran, the temple blessing, had to do some responsibility, and could not always blame everything on the heads of others.

However, Zhao Ran heard the other party's joy and self-satisfaction from Jin Jiu's complaints, so he praised Jin Jiu a few words of encouragement and coaxed him to continue to do scientific yi, and he was still immersed in cultivation. Anyway, he was a temple blessing, Jin Jiu's Ke Yi gave up, and he accounted for most of the merit, so why should he run to do this kind of physical work? Therefore, in addition to instructing Jin Jiu not to take more of the people's belongings, he simply became a treasurer.

In the Junshan Temple, Zhao Ran is purely a big treasurer, and he calls it "grasping the overall situation", in fact, he does not care about everything. The person in charge of the sermon affairs in the Junshan area was Jin Jiu, who was also the only received Daoist priest at the Junshan Temple besides Zhao Ran. Guan Er and Lu Jin did not understand the science and technology, so they could only return to their old business, still doing the patrols they had originally done in the FangTang of WujiYuan, but there were no three shifts of official servants in the Junshan area, so civil security became one of their responsibilities.

Jin Jiu's busy career has been going on for more than half a month before it eases up, and Lin Shuangwen, a fireman from the XizhenWu Palace, has shared some of the pressure of his affairs. Lin Shuangwen came to Zhao Ran after the Lantern Festival, and he passed the ten-year fire residence period of the Xizhen Wu Palace, because he could not be affected, he could only return to his hometown. But Lin Shuangwen really did not want to go home and compete with his brother for family property, and he was also accustomed to the life of the Daomen, and he was extremely unaccustomed to the days of no power and no power, so after the New Year at home, he simply came to Zhao Ran.

Lin Shuangwen had helped Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran had also promised Lin Shuangwen, plus Lin Shuangwen was bright-eyed and barely worthy of the title of talent, so he quickly accepted him, counted as the third fireman of the Junshan Temple, responsible for the zhike function (of course, the Junshan Temple did not have this position), and also helped Jin Jiu to participate in the Jai Gong Ke Yi.

In addition, Zhao Ran also recruited an old couple from the people, one responsible for cooking and washing, and the other responsible for sprinkling and cleaning the house. The old couple lived in the miscellaneous courtyard, and there was a copper coin to be taken every month, and it was also considered that they had security in their old age.

In addition to these seven people, the Junshan Temple also had the Five Colors Master counted in the system by Zhao Ran—of course, it didn't account for the organization, who called it not a person. Zhao Ran is most satisfied with this colorful golden chicken, which can preach and solve puzzles, can rely on force, can plough the fields, can weed and catch insects, and when bored, can also barbecue and discuss life and ideals together, it is perfect!

Zhao Ran's life in the Junshan Temple is quite moist - revered, full of words, not subject to cases and the like, no trivialities, can fish, can hunt, can barbecue, can cultivate... In just one month, he was almost addicted to it and could not extricate himself, but fortunately, he was still clear and clear, and he knew the direction he should strive for, so as not to slack off.

At the end of the month, Zhao Ran sent out the summons left by Uncle Xiao Zhuo, claiming that he had asked Pei Zhongze of the Qingyun Pavilion for the five-flowered cloud leaves, hoping that the two uncles would come to the Junshan Temple to take them.

On the evening of the next day after the summons was sent out, The two uncles, Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, rushed to the Junshan Temple again. After Zhao Ran took out the five-flowered cloud leaf and presented it, Zhuo Tengyi, the uncle of Xiao Zhuo's master, made a proposal to Zhao Ran that surprised him: To worship Jiang Tenghe, the Grand Master of huayunguan, as his teacher.

Zhao Ran said happily, "Could it be that Huayun Pavilion originally intended to accept me?" ”

Uncle Xiao Zhuo quickly explained, "It wasn't HuayunGuan who accepted you, it was Master Jiang who accepted you... Well, there is one thing to explain in advance, not a formal disciple, but a named disciple. ”

Zhao Ran was all too familiar with the term "named disciple", weren't Tong Baimei, Zhu Qigu, and Chang Wanzhen the named disciples of Chuyang City? Now Zhao Ran is also going to become a famous disciple, that is to say, he is not a person of Huayun Pavilion, but only a person of the Great Master Jiang Tenghe, and the relationship with Jiang Tenghe is only in the name of the master and apprentice, Jiang Tenghe has leisure, he will instruct him one or two, when he has no time, he does not need to fulfill the responsibility of the master.

For Zhao Ran, the advantage is that it is possible to get the guidance of Jiang Tenghe, and at the same time he can also play the banner of Jiang Tenghe to support himself, in addition to the etiquette to hold the disciple's gift, there is not much obligation to fulfill, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the name of the master's big banner is good or not, but also depends on whether others recognize it, especially Jiang Tenghe recognizes it, in addition, he wants to learn some real skills, I am afraid it is difficult, if Jiang Tenghe is not happy, he can even ignore him.

Well, no matter what, Zhao Ran took another step forward on the avenue of cultivation, and half a foot tentatively stepped into the threshold of such a secret place as the Pavilion.

Zhao Ranqiang was full of joy and curiously asked the two uncles, what was going on with all this?

Chapter 203: Bureaucracy

Zhao Ran didn't think that he could get a reward from a great mage's named disciple just by offering a few elixirs, although he was a named disciple, he was also a disciple, wasn't he? According to Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, with such an identity, zhao ran's channel for assigning the post of gong was opened.

He had not had long-term plans before, and if he really couldn't do it, after Zhu Qigu returned from southern Xinjiang, he asked his cheap sister to help intercede, so that he could go to a certain Taoist hall to teach the hoops. But Zhu Qigu has not heard anything so far, and she does not know what year and month she will be able to return, if she really does not return in one or two decades, will she not have to wait until the flowers are thanked?

Now Hua Yun Guan suddenly opened its doors to him, not to mention how excited Zhao Ran was at this moment. That was the legendary Secret Place of the Daomen, all of them were cultivators, and if they could stay with such people all day long, wouldn't they be able to get more immortal qi? Compared with Huayun Hall, what Wuji Temple, what Junshan Temple, it is customary to say! Vulgar!

Zhao Ran couldn't help but ask what was going on, the two Zhuo Masters and Uncles had been with him for a long time, they knew the roots the most, and they didn't hide it at the moment, and they told the truth together.

Just as Zhao Ran imagined, Hua Yun Guan would not agree to grant Zhao Ran a few elixirs because he had given him a few elixirs, because the post was not a paper document, nor was it a matter of stamping a seal and stamping it. The hoop position is a kind of spell contract for the monk to communicate with the heavens, and the assignment of the hoop is to sign the spell deed, so that the monk has the qualification to use the power of heaven and earth and the power of the gods from now on. To appoint monks to the position of hoop, it is necessary to hold a ceremony of fasting, which not only consumes a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual materials, but also requires the use of faith power, which is very expensive. Especially the latter, it is more necessary for Lushan General View to allocate quotas, otherwise it will not be possible at all.

With the resources of Huayun Pavilion, it can only grant two cultivators a year, of course, if Huayun Pavilion does not find a genius with cultivation roots and qualifications that year, it can also accumulate this quota of faith power and keep it for the next year.

Huayun Pavilion only had one person with cultivation talent this year, so there was a quota vacant, originally the elders were planning to save this quota for future use, but Master Cai sent a message on behalf of a certain jade emperor pavilion figure behind him, hoping that Huayun pavilion could leave this quota to Zhao Ran.

It turned out to be Master Cai again! Zhao Ran couldn't help but wonder, thinking about it and wondering if he couldn't understand it, so he asked, "What does this Master Cai really want me to do?" But I really don't know what I can do to help him... Could it be a formation? If I want to use his level of formation, I'm afraid I'll have to cultivate for ten or twenty years, right? By the way, two uncles, you just said that he was speaking for a certain big person? ”

Zhuo Tengyi nodded, "Not bad, but to tell the truth, I don't know who it is, but in short, the word reached the elders, and the old men said that they must sell this face." ”

Even the two uncles Of Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo couldn't understand it, and Zhao Ran didn't think hard for a while, so he thanked him: "In any case, I would like to thank the two uncles for running back and forth for my business, and I remember it in my heart." I knew that my roots were not right, it was really not a cultivation material, and I could be a named disciple, and the two masters and uncles must have done their best in it..."

Zhuo Tengyun shook his head, and Zhuo Tengyi hurriedly waved his hand: "Recording you as a named disciple is really not a problem of the root bone." Look at the meaning of the elders, in fact, it is not impossible to consider the formal opening of the museum to accept you, but the elders are not sure of the intention of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, so it is not good to formally accept you as an apprentice, so they have designated a master for you, first accept you as a named disciple, and give you a position, as for the future, it depends on the situation. ”

Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and then understood, it turned out that the words of a certain big figure in the Jade Emperor Pavilion were very vague, so that Hua Yun Guan did not know whether to formally accept himself, so he came up with such a compromise method.

Well, no matter what, this question can only exist in the mind for the time being, and it is better to inquire in detail when you meet Master Cai in the future.

So Zhao Ran changed a question: "Second Master Uncle, you just said that it was Jiang Tenghe who accepted me as a named disciple?" The Grand Master? ”

Zhuo Tengyi was slightly ashamed: "I am ashamed to say that Brother Jiang was only five years ahead of my brother's entry, but the cultivation realm is already a world apart, the two of us are still in the Yellow Crown, but Brother Jiang has already entered the realm of the Great Master." ”

Seeing that Zhao Ran seemed to be very happy, Zhuo Tengyun couldn't help but remind after hesitating: "Mo tai is happy, maybe it's not a good thing." ”

Zhao Ran froze, "What does Uncle Da Zhuo mean?" ”

Zhuo Tengyun did not like to talk, and every time he was silent, Zhuo Tengyi had to stand up and make a note: "Master Zhao and his nephew mo have too much expectations, I heard that the elders designated Brother Jiang to accept you as a named disciple, Brother Jiang was reluctant, so he and the elders had an agreement, Huayunguan can not force him to pass on your practice." ”

Zhao Ran was silent for half a moment, and said with a strong smile: "I am not right, he is not willing to waste energy on me, I can understand... But since he didn't want to teach me the Fa, why couldn't he choose another master for me? For example, the two uncles are also good..."

Zhuo Tengyi sighed, "Because he is the first of the Huayun Pavilion Tengzi generation, only if he accepts you as an apprentice, it is like the Jade Emperor Pavilion confesses." ”

Zhao Ran was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he smiled bitterly: "Bureaucracy kills people..."

The two uncles of the Zhuo family could not answer the call, so they had to talk about the topic with haha.

Zhao Ran has a good mentality, being able to be worthy of the position of a hoop is a luxury, not to mention that he can also catch the identity of a "named disciple", as for not passing on the Fa, he quickly corrected his own mentality, not passing it on, with these two uncles in front of him, can he still lack the guidance of others? Put the worst case plan, even if Huayun Hall really does not have a person to point out himself, he has nothing to lose, compared to others, he is already too lucky, why complain about the world at this time?

That night, Zhao Ran told the people of the Junshan Temple that he was about to go to the Huayun Pavilion to worship the master, and the Junshan Temple immediately boiled, and Jin Jiu, Guan Er, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen and others heard that this temple was about to step into the "Immortals", and one by one their eyeballs fell down. In addition to rejoicing for Zhao Ran, they were all worried that Zhao Ran would never return, and Zhao Ran was kind enough to comfort him, saying that he was only a named disciple, and after he went, he might not be able to return to Yunyun soon, and designated Jin Jiuhaosheng to hold the Junshan Temple, and not to slack off a little. The crowd claimed to be.

The next day, Zhao Ran set off with Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, first in the direction of Pingwu County, and when he was about to reach the county seat, he deviated from the official road to the northeast. The two Uncle Zhuo rode horses, and Zhao Ran rode a donkey, running in the mountains for a day, and finally came to an old ravine with dense trees.

Zhuo Tengyi said "Arrived", Zhao Ran looked up, this layer of forest reckless, strange rocks, not even a sign of human habitation, where is there any pavilion loft platform, Fairy Waterfall Divine Spring?

Chapter 204: Getting Started

Zhuo Tengyi flicked his sleeve, a white light suddenly came out, straight into the front, Zhao Ran felt that the vision seemed to shake a little, and when he stared at it again, the ravine was still a ravine, and the strange stones in the woods had not changed, as if everything had not changed. But Zhao Ran had opened his eyes, and he obviously saw that the flow of qi in the heavens and the earth in front of him was not real, as if someone had deliberately covered it with a thin curtain.

This is an extremely clever blindfold method, no, it is an extremely clever phantom array, and Zhao Ran's eyesight cannot see through the end. Just when he wanted to comb and distinguish carefully, Zhuo Tengyi had already tugged at his sleeve and pulled him forward.

One step forward, he suddenly stepped into the dark night; the second step, his eyes lit up, as if he came to the thick clouds; the third step, Zhao Ran finally entered a new world.

In the distance, such as Dai Qingshan Mountain, near the high cliffs and waterfalls, the slowly undulating hills are lush and green, and they are coiled like wisps of mist. The waterfall descends into a gurgling stream, circling around the hills, and on both sides are pavilions, flower galleries, rockeries... It's a picturesque world.

Zhao Ran stared at everything in front of him in a daze, his heart was stirring, this was the heavenly blessing, this was the place where cultivators lived and cultivated, compared with the outside world, there was more than a world of difference!

When Zhao Ran was greedy for a long time, the two uncles of the Zhuo family patted their mounts, and the two horses roared happily into the woods next to them. The old donkey rubbed Zhao Ran's neck, and Zhao Ran knew its intentions and smiled: "You can also go, and call you again when you go back." So the old donkey rushed into the forest with joy and went to find the mounts of the two uncles of the Zhuo family.

Zhuo Tengyun said to Zhuo Tengyi, "Take your time, I'll go back to you first." After saying this, he hurried away, and in an instant passed through a pavilion, and his figure was hidden behind the flowing water of the small bridge.

Zhuo Tengyi slowly walked forward with Zhao Ran, crossed the bridge, crossed the corridor, crossed the pool, and introduced while walking: "This is the smelling pool, next to the white flower slope, the fragrance of flowers is continuous... This is the White Crane Pavilion, and these white cranes in the pond are the apprentices of Master Danhe..."

With that said, the two came to a wide square field, directly opposite a magnificent hall with the words "Sanqing Hall", on the left side is "Heavenly Master Hall", on the right side is "Fire Virtue Star King's Hall", and in the northeast and northwest are the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.

When I came over the road, I didn't see a single person, but when I arrived here, I met a few Daoist monks in plain robes, some old and young, each holding a box and a bamboo basket, and these Daoist monks saw Zhuo Teng's wing and bowed their heads, saying: "I have seen Zhuo Huangguan." ”

Zhuo Tengyi nodded, "This is Zhao Zhiran, who worshiped under Master Jiang's disciple as a name, has entered the Daoist realm, and today's first entry into the museum is to teach the hoop, you can also see it." ”

Those Daoist monks turned to Zhao Ran again, "I have seen Zhao Daoshi." ”

Zhao Ran didn't know what to call it, so he had to return the salute: "A few compassionate people." ”

The elder of several Daoist monks said, "Zhuo Huangguan, Elder Yan has already ordered that this Zhao Daoist be invited to wait here, and the elders will immediately give Zhao Daoist a hoop." I still have to go in to make arrangements, so I will not accompany each other, and ask Zhuo Huangguan and Zhao Daoshi to forgive their sins. ”

Zhuo Tengyi nodded, and Zhao Ran said politely, "Thank you." ”

Several Daoist monks carried things and fish into the Sanqing Hall, leaving only Zhao Ran and Zhuo Tengyi waiting at the bottom of the steps, and Zhao Ran asked, "Those brothers just now... Or Uncle Shi? ”

Zhuo Tengyi smiled, "It is the common way of Huayun Pavilion, not a cultivator, but it is also a person who has been trained." ”

Zhao Ran was curious: "Can the common way also enter the Huayun Pavilion?" ”

Zhuo Tengyi said, "There are firemen in the Ten Directions Jungle, and there is also no shortage in the pavilion, the cultivation is full of mountains, there is absolutely no time and energy to spend on daily chores, the realm is not enough, the same as eating and drinking Lasa, these things will be done by the lay people." Some of these lay customs are orphans picked up by the monks, and some are the relatives left behind by the predecessors, but unfortunately they do not have the talent to practice, and those who are willing to go out of the mountains will give a rich and noble, and those who do not want to go out will stay and do some living... You can be commensurate with their brothers, but they will call you a hoop, which is a habit left over hundreds of years, not that my generation of monks look down on them. My generation must not despise others, but also be kind, after all, if you really want to talk about it, maybe their ancestors have made great contributions to the Daomen, or maybe one day, your descendants will also be one of them. ”

As he was speaking, he saw people coming to the Sanqing Hall one after another, some standing on the front field of the hall, standing in a row on the left and right, and some striding into the Sanqing Hall. Zhuo Tengyi hurriedly pointed out that Zhao Ran was tightly wearing a crown Dao robe.

Overhearing the bells and drums in the bell tower and the drum tower, Zhuo Tengyun came out of the Sanqing Hall and drank: "Please ask the Junshan Temple temple to wish Zhao Zhiran and enter the Sanqing Hall to give the hoop!" ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly stepped up the stone steps, went up to the ninth step square field, penetrated from the Daoist monks arranged in front of the hall, bowed on the futon outside the threshold of the Three Qing Hall, crossed the threshold and entered, and then prostrated under the ancestral seat of the Three Qing Dao, paying homage to incense, and chanting.

At this time, Zhao Ran had the opportunity to look inside the palace, only to see that on the northeast side of the Sanqing statue stood five high-crowned Daoist monks wearing apricot zodiac robes, and the youngest looking were all above forty or fifty, but Zhao Ran knew that the monks' faces could not be counted, and some of them looked thirty years old, perhaps they had already passed the ancient rarity.

Directly on the east side of the compartment, there stood about a dozen people, all of whom were Insui's Ge Qing Daoist robes. Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo were among them, and Zhao Ran also saw Zhu Zhimeng, who was standing in the twelfth place, looking at himself strangely.

Zhao Ran secretly smiled at Zhu Zhimeng, and Brother Secret Dao also had a day to come in!

There were only three people on the west side of the box, the head was about thirty years old, the face was calm, and he was smiling at himself and nodding in greeting, and the remaining two looked not much older than Zhao Ran, and they were also looking at Zhao Ran curiously.

Just listen to an apricot yellow robe gao Dao cough, said: "Zhao Zhiran, first worship the master, and Jiang Tenghe's disciples will accept the apprentice on behalf of the master." ”

Just when he saw the Daoist priest with his head on the west side come to the Sanqing seat, he first smiled at Zhao Ran and said, "Master retreated and failed to come out to see you, so I specially accepted the apprentice on behalf of the master." I am Wei Zhizhen, you can call me Master Brother. ”

Zhao Ran was a little disappointed, and thought to himself, "Is this cheap master really not waiting to see me, and he doesn't even want to show his face?" Lost to lost, but not disrespectful, hurriedly took out the prayer sticker that had been written long ago, finished chanting on the spot, and then presented it to Wei Zhizhen.

Wei Zhizhen accepted Zhao Ran's worship sticker and said something about the precepts under Jiang Tenghe's door, which was nothing more than a set of rules that could not be done for wrongdoing, and after saying that, Zhao Ran hurriedly put on the incense, Wei Zhizhen inserted the incense burner, Zhao Ran took out the gift and offered it, and Wei Zhizhen also accepted it.

Zhao Ran originally prepared a good medicinal herb that ranked high in the Zhilan Spirit Medicine Recipe, but since Jiang Tenghe did not even show his face, he naturally saved the treasure and only took out ginseng whose roots were less than a hundred years old - in fact, it was also very good.

Zhao Ran performed the worship ceremony of the named disciples, and there were no ceremonies such as asking for a gua, going up to the table, giving the name of the Fa, passing on the water, and giving the scriptures and fa instruments, which were quite concise and efficient. Wei Zhizhen returned a gift on behalf of Master Zhao Ran—Zhao Ran felt that most of it was something that the master brother had taken out himself, and the ceremony would be over.

Wei Zhizhenhui's gift was a rune, which Zhao Ran had seen in the book "Zhengyi Rune Law", which was a fourth-order spirit rune, with the name of "Golden Light Flame Circle", which was a protective defensive rune. The fourth-order spirit rune should be considered quite valuable, only cultivators above the level of mage could refine it, and receiving this gift, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his little family's temperament just now. At the same time, he also looked at Wei Zhizhen very doubtfully, if this rune was refined by Master Wei, wouldn't this master brother already enter the mage realm?

After the worship ceremony, Zhao Ran was included in the Jiang Tenghe Grand. The mage's door wall was gone, but he was not a formal disciple, just a named disciple.

Wei Zhizhen introduced two young Daoist monks standing next to Zhao Ran, one named Yu Zhichuan and the other luo Zhiqing, and Zhao Ran called out "Second Master Brother, Third Master Brother"

The three formal disciples under Jiang Tenghe's door are in order, but Zhao Ran is not, so Wei Zhizhen and others call him "Zhao Shidi" instead of "Fourth Master Disciple", and in the future, if Jiang Tenghe accepts formal disciples, the new disciples will be called Zhao Ran "Zhao Shi brother", and Zhao Ran can call the other party "fourth master brother".

After the worship ceremony was completed, Zhao Ran was counted as a person of huayun pavilion, and he could be given a hoop position. So the crowd left the Sanqing Hall and entered the "Fire Virtue Star King's Hall" on the east side of the square field.

Chapter 205: Granting the Hoop

As a newly introduced disciple, Zhao Ran's hoop consisted of two rituals, the first was to worship the master, and after obtaining the qualification for the hoop, he was transferred to the Fire Star Emperor's Hall to teach the hoop.

The gong is a text for communicating with the immortals, summoning the gods, and casting the fa book, after the hoop is granted, the Daomen monks can ascend to the heavens, according to the Daomen, they have the priesthood, the so-called "green words can reach the heavenly court", so the methods performed can see the gods.

The ceremony is an extremely solemn ceremony, not zhao ran's superficial kung fu in Guyang County a few years ago, there are many objects that need to be consumed, especially the key links need to be carried out around the statue of the Fire De Xingjun, so it should be held in the Fire De XingJun Hall.

Huayun Hall has been established for more than 700 years, and the first founder of the museum was destined to be the God of Fire Virtue Star Jun, so the Fire God Star King was used as the main statue of the Lord of The Temple. The hall is dominated by fiery red, and above the shrine in the middle stands the Southern Three Qi Fire Star Junluo Xuan, holding the Mother of Fire in his hand, with red hair and a mighty face. On the east and west sides are the five true gods of the Fire Department: tail fire tiger, gao zhen of the chamber fire pig, Fang Gui of the fire monkey, yihuo snake king Jiao, and Liu Huan, the fire heavenly king.

This statue of the Fire Dexing Emperor in Huayun Hall had been worshipped for more than seven hundred years, and had already possessed spiritual effects, and when Zhao Ran entered the temple, he felt that he was as hot as a fire cave, but he was sweatless, which was very mysterious.

Three masters are required to attend the ceremony, namely the Transmission Division, the Supervisor Division, and the Guardian Division. Before Zhao Ran entered the temple, master brother Wei Zhizhen had already given him a brief introduction, the Chuandushi was the presiding officer of The Science Andi, served by Elder Yan; the Supervisor Was the supervisor of the ritual, personally served by Elder Xiahou; the Baoju Master was the recommender of the disciples of the Zhi zhen, this role should have been Zhao Ran's cheap master Jiang Tenghe, but Jiang Tenghe "happened" to retreat, so he was appointed by the master brother Wei Zhizhen.

Wei Zhizhen went out first, and in front of the representatives of the disciples who were watching the ceremony, he recommended Zhao Ran to Elder Yan, the transmission master, claiming that Zhao Ran's conditions in all aspects had been met, and specially applied for the elders to be evaluated.

There were a total of seven elders in Huayun Hall, and at this moment there were five, of which Elder Yan was the Chuandu Master and Elder Xiahou was the Supervisor, so the remaining three elders formed an "examination group" to evaluate Zhao Ran's homework classics. This item is very simple, probably Qi is to extract a passage from the primary classics such as the Tao Te Ching, the Du Ren Jing, and the Morning and Evening Lesson Sutra, and let Zhao Ran recite the next paragraph or explain it. Zhao Ran seemed to have returned to the days when he was studying in the WujiYuan Scripture Hall, and while reciting the answer, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Zhimeng in the crowd on the east side.

Some elders would occasionally ask questions from The Shangqing Recipe, The Law of Justice, and other Daoist books, and Zhao Ran would answer them one by one. These books were the classics of the Zhengyi monk's introduction, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi had already taught the books to Zhao Ran, and at this moment, it seemed that HuayunGuan should have known about them.

After examining the things in the books, another elder inspected Zhao Ran's Qi Sea, and after completing it, he signaled to everyone in the hall, indicating that Zhao Ran already had the conditions to enter the Daoist realm and could begin to refine.

Therefore, Elder Yan, the transmission master, handed Zhao Ran a copy of the green words, and after Zhao Ran cleaned his hands and face, he took the green words, recited them sincerely, and dedicated them to the statue of the Fire Dexing Emperor. After Zhao Ran finished reciting it, he prayed three times, and the green words in his hand suddenly rose slowly, turning into a hot flame at a height of one zhang, and suddenly disappeared into the eyebrows of the Star King God Statue.

Elder Yan ordered people to put on the iron case, and all kinds of spirit fruits, spirit wine, and various kinds of ingredients were enshrined on the desk, and Zhao Ran opened his eyes to see that these objects all exuded a strong aura, which was really a good thing. Zhao Ran knew that this table was extremely expensive, and this time it was cheaper for himself.

Elder Yan beckoned everyone to bow to the statue of the Star King, and after three times of worship, the things on the offering table began to burn, and in Zhao Ran's eyes, he could see that the aura in it was condensed towards the statue, and finally entered the center of the statue's eyebrows.

The fire burned quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a layer of ashes left on the offering table, and I saw Elder Yan take out a copy of the document and put it on the offering table, signaling Zhao Ran to ask for incense. Zhao Ran invited the three pillars of high incense, and just after inserting it into the incense burner, he saw a little red flame fly out of the center of the eyebrow of the Star King's god statue, drill into the Wen Mu, and print a flame seal at the end of the Wen Mu.

Zhao Ran knelt under Wen Mu and recited the Du Ren Jing again, and then Master Yan asked Elder Xiahou, the supervisor, and Elder Xiahou agreed, and Master Yan slapped the Wen Mu on the table into Zhao Ran's body--yes, Wen Mu was photographed by Elder Yan from between Zhao Ran's eyebrows, and when he touched the skin, he merged into Zhao Ran's body on his own, and Zhao Ran stayed still, only to feel that there seemed to be more things in the Sea of Qi, but unfortunately, he had not yet reached the realm, could not look inside, and could not detect everything in his body.

At the end of the ritual, Master Yan, on behalf of Huayunguan, gave Zhao Ran various magic tools, including tokens, flags, scriptures, and Taoist costumes, and explained the functions to Zhao Ran.

The token can be used to pass on the message, Zhao Ran has something urgent to tell Huayun Pavilion, you can leave the divine thought on the token, and then drive the token to fly back to Huayun Pavilion on its own, Zhao Ran has seen Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo Shi Uncle many times before, "a shake of the hand from the sleeve to throw out a white light, flashing to the sky" The white light is actually a token, contrary to the effect of the summons, but it can be used repeatedly, as long as you inject mana into it when you use it.

The LingQi is a defensive magic weapon, for example, when Zhao Ran spends the night in the wilderness, he will insert the Lingqi to his side, which can form a shield within the range of his body, and the poisonous insects and beasts cannot be approached. Of course, when using it against the enemy, you can also do this, but at most it can only be used to deal with people in the martial forest, and when you encounter some magic, how reliable this thing is, it is debatable.

The scriptures are actually the three Daoist books that Master Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo gave to Zhao Ran before, "Justice Rune Law", "Shangqing Recipe" and "Instrument Making Spectrum", but this time it is given to Huayunguan's special Magic Instrument Dao Book, which covers the brain door, and the contents of the book can be poured into the brain, and Zhao Ran got the manuscript of Master Xiao Zhuo before, which must be browsed and memorized page by page.

Another is a robe. Zhao Ran's identity was already that of a cultivator, and although he was only a "Daoist priest" who had just crossed the threshold, compared with the layman, it seemed like a world of difference. The Daoist robe given to Zhao Ran by Huayunguan was made of golden silk thread, mixed with a small amount of heavenly silk, ordinary soldiers could not penetrate it, and they were not afraid of water and fire, and they were a good treasure. A flame was sewn on the hem corner of the robe, indicating that he was a first-order Daoist. If Zhao Ran entered the Yushi Realm in the future, then his flames would increase to two.

Zhao Ran was very satisfied, very very satisfied, in fact, for the Daomen, the difference between the introductory disciple and the named disciple was only in name, and the other life and material treatment were not too bad, of course, the named disciple could not get the master's mantle inheritance, the master's teaching method and the content of the teaching were determined by the mood, the mood was good, more than two words, when it was not good, it was not uncommon to see each other for half a year.

At the end of the ritual, several elders left one after another, and the disciples and representatives who came to watch also dispersed in a blink of an eye. For Hua Yun Guan, Zhao Ran's teaching consumed a lot of spiritual products, and he also used a share of faith power, which was not a small thing, but for most of the disciples, it was not an earth-shattering event. Of the eighteen practitioners of huayun pavilion, each family had its own business to do, and when they were ordered to come to observe the ceremony, they only fulfilled the number of rituals, and some of these disciples and representatives would say a few words to the master and the brothers of the same disciple after they returned, and those who said few words did not even mention it.

Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, and Luo Zhiqing stayed behind and took Zhao Ran to the Lingjian Pavilion. Lingjian Pavilion is the residence of Jiang Tenghe, located in the west of Huayunguan Fudi. After passing through an unknown number of pavilions and halls, and stepping over an unknown number of small bridges and streams, Zhao Ran finally followed the three brothers to the Lingjian Pavilion.

Several laymen greeted him, and under the guidance of Wei Zhizhen, they greeted Zhao Ran, who would also be considered a member of the Lingjian Pavilion in the future, and he was also a member of the Right to Speak, and these laymen were extremely enthusiastic. The three brothers all had to practice, and Wei Zhizhen asked Zhao Ran to take a rest first, and if there was something to talk about tomorrow, Zhao Ran was introduced into an empty room by several laymen, saying that this would be Zhao Ran's residence in the future.

Zhao Ran was already sleepy, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, he immediately went to sleep, which was not unusual, every time he had a promotion, wen Mu would be like this, and this time was no exception.
