Luo Lingfu and Lu Tong left the academy early the next morning. They would sail from Donglai to the sea, first to Mount Laoshan, then to Qianli Mountain, and then enter the vast East China Sea.
Wu Sheng does not intend to interfere with the affairs of the Executive Hall. Yu Sheng and Xiao Jianshi are both reliable people, so there is no need to interfere too much. Luo Lingfu also said that when there are major issues that cannot be decided, please take charge of the decision-making by yourself, and the rest Let go of the little things. Of course, after agreeing to Luo Lingfu, I also needed to know something about the situation in the Executive Hall, so I spent one day reading the documents sent by Yu Sheng.
The Deacon's Hall is divided into an inner hall and an outer hall. Among them, the Deacon's Outer Hall is specially designed to handle affairs between schools in various places. The real controllers are the three chief ministers on duty. Luo Lingfu is responsible for the deacon affairs. It is an inner hall matter, that is, among the nearly a thousand people in the Academy, whoever makes a mistake will go to the Executive Hall to receive punishment.
The authority to punish is at least given to the deacons. In other words, the deacons of each church have the right to punish the servants and even the monks who have committed crimes. These deacons include the general affairs of each family - such as the disciples of Ziyu Dasong and Baochengtang. Song Wang, the general servant, includes the stewards of each house - such as Zheng Fangtou in the inner stalls, including everyone in the lecture hall offering wine - such as Gao Pei who has already gone out for a walk, etc.
Above the deacons are the monks, and above that are the great monks, and even the bachelors. They all have the power to punish, but what the punishment is and how long it should be punished is usually decided by the deacon hall.
Wu Sheng looked at the records. There are currently twenty-three people being punished in the service hall, and their service periods range from three months to three years. Among them, there are fourteen ordinary servants and nine monks. The one with the highest cultivation level is A master craftsman from Qi Fu Pavilion, who was in the realm of divine refining, was punished for sneaking into Linzi City while refining weapons and having a private meeting with a noblewoman of a certain clan, which resulted in wasting time and wasting a bunch of spiritual materials.
Wu Sheng looked at the crimes committed by these people one by one, and he looked at them with great interest, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The affairs of the Executive Hall can be spared, but the affairs of the Lecture Hall cannot be clandestine. Lu Tong was completely at ease with Wu Sheng. He even gave Wu Sheng the assignment of teaching the Fa every ten days without any "pre-job training", as if Wu Sheng should know how to teach it by birth. But it's no wonder, since you have entered the realm of refining the void, giving lectures and preaching to a group of god-refiners and qi-refiners should be an easy task.
Wu Sheng looked at the pile of bamboo slips suddenly piled on his desk and felt helpless. He glanced at the respectful monk in front of him and said, "What's your surname?"
The Taoist replied: "The Taoist name is Feiyu."
Generally speaking, those who call themselves Taoists are those who truly dedicate their body, mind and soul to the immortal gods. Of course, this does not include people like Master Dongsun who pretend to be powerful. This Feiyu Taoist is a real Taoist priest.
"I don't know what I believe in..." Wu Sheng is usually very cautious when facing believers.
"Emperor of Heaven and Emperor of the East." Taoist Feiyu spoke more straightforwardly.
Wu Sheng was in awe: "This is good, this is good." He then said apologetically: "Now that you are here, I don't even know who you are. I'm disrespectful."
Taoist Feiyu smiled: "Fengxing is really too polite. That's what the big sacrificial wine is like. We are all used to it, but you all are looking forward to Fengxing taking over the lecture hall..."
"I'll be acting for the time being, and there's no talk of taking over."
"Practice started in the wilderness, went to school and started walking, and then walked to practice. It has only been ten years. We all admire him very much and hope to listen to Peng's teachings as soon as possible."
Wu Sheng couldn't tell whether he was really complimenting him or was just being polite, or was he just unconvinced? I can only modestly say that it is all thanks to everyone's support, and I still have a lot to work hard on. I also ask Taoist Feiyu to give me advice on how to take care of the big wine ceremony.
Taoist Feiyu took out one of the bamboo slips and unfolded it: "Please take a look at the teachings. This is the lesson taught by the Jijiu Masters. There are eight people in the Lecture Hall Jijiu Company, Pindao, Shi Yi teaches Yi Xue, and Wei Pu teaches Qin tunes and chess theory. , the poor Taoist taught the Great Way, Geng Shenzi taught medicine and divination, and Wang Jia, Le Wei, Han Feng, and Chen Zhigong taught the original Tao."
Wu Sheng looked at the list and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It turned out that those who followed Lu Tong to cause trouble in front of Jianwu Zuowangtang that day were mainly the eight people offering wine in the Lecture Hall, and the last four were all well-known figures of the day. There was a big fuss. The Tao they taught is their own way of practice, which shows that the practice methods of these four people have their own characteristics and have strong reference value for scholars to learn from.
After reading it, Wu Sheng nodded: "It turns out that I am cultivating Taiyi Dao. When I was in Baiyue, I had many dealings with local tribal monks. The transformation of divine shamans and spiritual shamans is really wonderful."
Taoist Feiyu nodded: "Taiyi Dao is very popular in the border areas. There are fewer in the Central Plains. Great witches do appear often in Baiyue."
Wu Sheng said: "I must go and listen to your lectures when I have time...I heard that today I am walking in Xinzheng to Gao Pei. In the past, I also held lectures and offered wine in the Dharma Hall. Now there is one less person. Can I adjust my lectures?"
Taoist Feiyu replied: "It is not necessary to listen to a wine-sacrifice teaching a subject, and it does not matter if he is not present. In the past few years, there were at most seventeen wine-sacrifice, and people like Lao Dan and Confucius also studied under me. Give lectures in the palace. If Fengxing has a suitable candidate, he can also recommend him to give a trial lecture. In the end, whether to leave or stay will be decided by Fengxing and Dajiujiu."
Wu Sheng was very interested: "Lao Dan? Confucius? Why did they leave?"
Taoist Feiyu admired: "Lao Dan's lessons were very popular and were of great benefit to practice. How should I put it? They were inclusive, comprehensive, and thought-provoking. But one day, he suddenly left, saying only that he wanted to I went to Luodu to read the classics, but I couldn't persuade him to stay. Later I heard that he was a guardian of Tibetan history in Luodu, and he got what he wanted. I don't know what is going on now. As for Confucius, he was too serious about his achievements and was suitable for talking to the princes. , the academy was mostly filled with cultivators, and there were only a few listeners, so he felt it was boring and left."
"What kind of cultivation are they?"
"When Lao Dan left, he was at the peak of God Refining, but I heard that he hid his cultivation, and I don't know whether it is true or not. As for Kong Qiu, an ordinary God Refiner, I recently heard that he was in the Lu State and had entered the advanced level of God Refining."
After chatting with Taoist Feiyu about Lao Dan and Kong Qiu for a while, his curiosity was fully satisfied, and then he returned to the topic. After all, the world was different from Wu Sheng’s understanding, and the two strange people at this time had not yet reached their own level. The height of cognition, so no longer pay attention.
He focused on the two tasks Lu Tong left for him:
The first is to assess whether the eight priests who teach wine are qualified. To put it simply, it means to evaluate each quarter as excellent, average, or average, and award awards based on the evaluation, or decide whether to stay or leave.
The second is to teach for Lu Tong. Lu Tong, the great priest, lectures on the ways of various immortals. To put it bluntly, it is an introduction to immortals. Wu Sheng needs to teach this course. Considering that Wu Sheng was not very professional or good at this, Taoist Feiyu also brought relevant information over and asked Wu Sheng to read it.
Feiyu finally said: "If you find it difficult for Fengxing, as the Great Sacrificial Wine has said, you can also tell Fengxing about your own path of seeking the Tao. Fengxing's cultivation progresses very quickly, and it may make others understand by analogy."
