Religious associations can basically be divided into Buddhist associations and Taoist associations, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the United Front Work Department. After going around for a few times, Xu Zhipeng found Longrui Palace in the east of the city, which is the seat of the Taoist Association. The president's surname was Fang, and Director Liang of the Clan Association had already called him, so Xu Zhipeng found him directly.
"Taoist Master Fang, I am a monk from Xuanwei in Zhuge Xianshan Mountain, my Taoist name is Hunyun. If I want to apply for a Taoist dish, please help me issue a certificate." Xu Zhipeng respectfully said a Taoist greeting to him and explained his purpose. out. Director Liang had already told him this, but if he said it again, it was Xu Zhipeng who was expressing his respect for him.
"Well, Lao Liang has told me about this before." President Fang looked carefully at Hunyun who was standing casually in front of him, feeling a little headache. In addition to Liang Qiu Sheng who came to say hello to Hunyun, there were other people who came to him and made some noise, but the purpose was completely opposite. I don’t know who he has offended, who would actually embarrass him in this place? In all likelihood, he doesn't know how to behave!
In his view, what is external and internal is actually the way to deal with others. If you don't understand how to be a human being, it is of no use to practice more ways.
In his eyes, this Hunyun may have an air of immortality, but if he were normal, he would probably be able to make friends with her sincerely. But due to the influence of the foresight, I don’t have a good impression now.
"You're pretending too much!" This was his evaluation of Xu Zhipeng. He had already thought of his excuse, so after the introduction, he said it to Xu Zhipeng.
"Fellow Taoist Hunyun, you may not know that our Taoist Association has a large number of applications for ultimatums every year. This year's quota has been used up. If you need it, you can only wait until after the Spring Festival. By then, Pindao will definitely reserve it for you. It’s the next spot. It shouldn’t matter!”
"Uh!" Xu Zhipeng glanced at him silently and said nothing. He didn't know if this was his excuse, but now that he had something to ask for, he couldn't say much. In his opinion, this so-called Taoist Association President is just an ordinary person. He has never entered Taoism at all, so naturally he cannot detect anything unusual about him.
The truth is not to be taken lightly! He didn't want to argue with him.
"President Fang, do you think there is any other way to get the Taoist disc earlier? This junior has little knowledge, so I asked my senior for advice!" Xu Zhipeng asked politely.
"Well, you Xuanwei should be from the Lingbao sect. How about you go to Gezao Mountain, the main court of your Lingbao sect. If the Taoist priest there is willing to pay the ultimatum for you, then you can directly become a Taoist priest. After all." President Fang didn't want to offend Xu Zhipeng too much or offend Director Liang of the Clan Association, so he gave Xu Zhipeng this idea. Anyway, as long as the application for the ultimatum was not made by him, those people would naturally not be able to blame him.
"Thank you, President, for the tip." Xu Zhipeng nodded and expressed his gratitude to President Fang. After chatting for a few more words, we said goodbye.
He didn't know if there was a quota limit for Dudu, but judging from the appearance of President Fang, someone must have said hello to him. If he hadn't found Director Liang in advance, he probably wouldn't have met President Fang. Meet.
But it didn't matter anyway, no matter whether he was granted the qualification or not, he still had to go to Zao Mountain, the main hall of their Lingbao sect.
Gezao Mountain is in Xiangzhang City, Gan Province. The road is not far, but it will probably take several days to get there. Besides, he doesn't know what will delay him, so he is a little worried about Xuan Wei. In this world, we have seen a lot of dark things, and there are endless ways to do evil. If he is not around, who knows what will happen!
Returning to Xuanwei, he thought for a long time and decided to leave the Yue seal. He spent a day drawing four house-holding talismans, which, together with the golden light talisman, were pasted on the four corners of the courtyard wall. In this way, man-made damage can be effectively prevented. Of course, if those destroying machines come up, there will be nothing we can do. But this is halfway up the mountain, and there are no other roads except a mountain trail. How can large machinery get up there, so he can rest assured.
"Where is Yang Xing?"
"Report to the seal master, Yang Xing is here!"
"Well, during this period, you stay at Xuanwei. If someone sabotages it, you can show up to stop it, but don't hurt anyone's life. In your free time, you can also patrol the mountains and forests, help those in need, and earn merit."
"Yes, Yang Xing honors your order!"
After making arrangements for Yang Xing, he went up the mountain to say goodbye to his senior brother Zhichen and asked him to help take care of Xuan Wei, and then went down the mountain Shi Shiran.
He already has some spare money during this period. Although he still has a balance in his credit card, the limit has stabilized and he will no longer reduce the limit at will. So I chose to take the high-speed rail, transfer in Hongdu, and arrive in Xiangzhang City where Gezao Mountain is located in half a day.
Gezao Mountain is located in the southeast corner of Xiangzhang City. It is surrounded by Luotuo, Taiji, Yunu, Lingyun and Dingxian peaks, with the hinterland in the middle and beautiful scenery. It is the western branch of Wuyi Mountain and spans more than 200 miles. The highest peak is Lingyun Peak, with an altitude of more than 800 meters.
Chongzhen Palace, the main palace of Lingbao Sect, is located at the southern foot of the east peak of Luotuofeng. Xu Zhipeng didn't need to spend any time looking for it. He could easily find it by following the road signs.
Xu Zhipeng, wearing Taoist uniform, entered the palace and was immediately greeted by Taoist priests. The two clasped their fists and bowed to each other.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
"I've met fellow Taoist."
"The poor Taoist Hunyun comes from Xuanwei. I am here today to pay homage to the main court of my Lingbao sect. I also ask fellow Taoists to recommend me!" After Xu Zhipeng bowed, he introduced himself to his family.
"Xuan Wei? Could it be the Xuan Wei of Zhuge Immortal Mountain in Yuezhou!"
"It's Xuan Wei from Yuezhou. I didn't expect fellow Taoist to know about it. Haha -" Xu Zhipeng heard this and said with a smile.
"Zhuge Xianshan Xuanwei is an important branch of our Lingbao sect in Qian Province. The Celestial Master once stayed there to make elixirs. Pindao naturally knows about it. Fellow Taoist, please move forward. Pindao will lead fellow Taoists to worship the Celestial Master. and ancestors of all generations.”
"That's great, thank you for your help, fellow Taoist." Xu Zhipeng expressed his gratitude with clasped fists. "Oh, by the way, don't know what to call me?"
"Oh, look at my memory. Liu Sande, a poor Taoist, has met fellow Taoists!"
"Liu Sande?" Xu Zhipeng was confused. What kind of Taoist name was this? It was clearly an ordinary person's name. Why is it that the Taoist priest's Taoist title in Zaoge Mountain is so up to date with the times?
"Fellow Taoist, you think it's strange!" Liu Sande also saw Xu Zhipeng's doubts, so he said it with a smile. "The poor Taoist's common name is Liu Shan, and he has three Tao names. This method of taking Tao names has been going on for many years, and fellow Taoists may not be used to it yet."
"Hmm, my Xuanwei is a place of ascetic cultivation, almost a pure one, so I can't keep up with the current trend." Xu Zhipeng responded with a smile. In fact, he also knows a little about the current situation of Gezao Mountain. Taoism declined gradually, and it took more than 20 years for it to develop again. And this is not just their Lingbao sect, the other Zhengyi sects and Longhu Mountain are similar. Many traditions have been lost, and many inheritances have been passed down in the form of families. Therefore, after development to this day, there is such a habit of naming Tao names.
"Haha, what fellow Taoist said is interesting." Liu Sande burst out laughing when he heard Xu Zhipeng's response. "By the way, how is your Xuanwei development now? How many senior brothers do you have?"
"Oh, don't talk about it. Our Xuanwei has been here for more than a hundred years, and it's all a single transmission. Now that my master has become an immortal, I'm the only one left with a monotonous appearance." After being polite, the two of them chatted. It's no longer very formal, it's just you and me and I feel a lot more relaxed.
Chongzhen Palace was built very grandly, with three entrances inside and outside. It took a while to reach the main hall. In the main hall, Xu Zhipeng stepped forward to the statue of Master Ge Tian enshrined, respectfully placed a stick of incense, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, completing the worship ceremony. "Disciple Hunyun, the twenty-first generation disciple of Xuan Wei, pays homage to Ge Xianweng."
"Brother Sande, in addition to paying homage to the ancestor, my junior brother has another thing to do during this visit. Do you think you can recommend the palace master?" After the worship, Xu Zhipeng said to Liu Sande. On the way just now, they told each other their ages. Liu Sande was two years older than him, so he changed his name and called him senior brother.
"Oh, junior brother, if you have any questions, just say it. You are one family, so there is no need to be so polite." Liu Sande replied.
