Taoist training college.

The entrance to the administrative office.

There are two rows of chairs here. Many young people wearing green robes are sitting on the chairs and looking towards the office.

Creak~

The door opens.

A little Taoist priest in robes walked out with a trace of frustration on his face.

"Brother Dao, how are you doing?"

"Alas, I have been assigned to the Lord of One View!"

He was obviously assigned to be the master of a Taoist temple, but there was no trace of happiness on the face of this little Taoist priest.

Because this means that this Taoist temple must be in the corner of the corner, and it is possible that there is no one inhabited within ten miles.

Hear the words of this little Taoist priest

The faces of these Taoist priests who were waiting for their graduation assignments showed solemn expressions.

This so-called ‘guanzhu’ not only works in a poor place, but also earns only a few hundred yuan in special allowances.

"The next one, Xuan Qing, come in and listen to the seal!"

Xuanqing stood up from the chair.

....

Enter the room.

There is a polished solid wood table with an incense burner on it, and a Tai Chi picture hanging on the wall.

This is a minimalist office.

Behind the table, there is an old man with gray hair and reading glasses sitting. Although his hair and beard are white, he is quite old, but his face is bright and energetic.

"Common name Su Chen, Taoist name Xuanqing, Liucheng County, Qinglin City... Place of birth, "Tao Jing", "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Immeasurable Man's Excellent Grade Miao Jing" and "Tai Shang Induction Chapter". The average score is 92.

"

Said so many words in one breath.

The old Taoist priest picked up the thermos cup on the table and moistened his throat.

"The results are pretty good, but now the famous mountains and grand temples are full. Do you think you should wait a little longer...or take over as the temple's director?"

There was a hint of appreciation in the old Taoist priest's eyes.

"Senior, I plan to find a job as soon as possible!"

Xuanqing said calmly.

Hear this.

The old Taoist priest couldn't help showing an unexpected expression on his face.

For most young Taoist priests who have graduated, who would not want to stay in a famous mountain temple, close to the city, and with welfare benefits comparable to those of civil servants.

"Based on your performance, if a spot in Mingshan Grand Temple becomes available, you will definitely be given priority. Have you considered it clearly?" the old Taoist priest asked again with certainty.

"Disciple has thought clearly!"

Xuanqing's expression did not change and he nodded slightly.

"Alas~" the old Taoist priest sighed, and then took out a map from the drawer.

There are densely packed small dots on this map, and nearly half of them have been circled with red pen.

These circled points represent the currently vacant Taoist temples.

Talk about it.

Nowadays, the Taoist sect is in decline, and the population distribution is extremely uneven. Famous mountains and grand temples are crowded with people, and no one cares about the Taoist temples with knotted corners.

As a lonely person, Xuanqing didn't care about benefits and benefits, as long as he had a place to stay. This mentality was in line with Taoist teachings.

Take the map.

Xuan Qing didn't have any choice, he just pointed at a circle on the map.

"Senior, this is where my disciples have chosen."

"Channgling Mountains, Qingping Mountain, Qingping Temple..." The old Taoist held up his reading glasses, looking a little surprised, "You have Qing in your Taoist name, and this Taoist temple also has Qing, so it's a perfect match!"

"Okay, the dean will give the ceremony in person in the afternoon, so remember to go in advance!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Xuanqing bowed slightly, made a Yin-Yang Fish Hand Technique with both hands, and bowed slightly to salute.

....

The time comes in the afternoon.

There were only a few scattered people in the ceremony hall.

Obviously, most of the Taoist priests who graduated have chosen to change careers or wait for vacancies, and are not willing to work in remote places where there is no place for shit.

"After being conferred, you will become the masters of one view, and every word and deed will represent the Taoist sect. The poor Taoist hopes that you will follow the law and observe morality, and don't do anything..."

The dean who spoke was also an experienced Taoist with white beard and hair, but the clothes he wore were purple, which represented the position of the Taoist Celestial Master.

Finished the opening remarks.

Get to the point and start teaching.

The ceremony is not very complicated. First, they kneel down to worship the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty, and then they burn incense and recite proclamations.

at last.

The Dean of the Heavenly Master will personally distribute the instruments for consecrating the urns to everyone.

Among them are: urn tablets, Dao seals, Dharma seals, master treasures, court tablets, emperor's orders, ghost-killing sticks, peach wood swords... and so on.

In addition, each person also has four sets of clothes, two sets of green robes and two sets of yellow robes. The former is worn in ordinary times, and the latter yellow robe is used when opening altars.

With the development of Taoism to this day, various utensils, rituals, etc. cannot be incomplete and all have their uses.

finally.

Xuanqing also received his share.

Among them, the most noteworthy and important instrument is the ‘瓓牌’

This is a rectangular jade plaque.

It is engraved on the front with the words "Taiji Palace selects the left judge of Jinshi Wuleiyuan and the same as the procurator of Thunder City"

On the back is the word "Xuanqing" engraved on it.

The former represents the Taoist official who was conferred the title, and the latter represents the Taoist title.

It is worth mentioning that.

From low to high, Taoist officials are divided into nine grades, nine grades, eight grades, eight grades... and so on.

Until the first article, "Tai Chi Left Immortal Weng Jiutian Golden Palace Attendant Shenxiao Yushu interviews the envoys and judges the ministers of Shenxiao Yufu Thunderbolt"

Generally speaking, those who are newly conferred will start from the rank of ninth grade "Right Judge of the Five Thunder Courts".

Because Xuan Qing directly took up the post of temple master, he was awarded the rank of ‘Judge Zuo’, who was in the ninth grade.

Even though he is just the second-to-last Sesame Official, if one were to put it in mythology, if ordinary mountain gods and earthly people saw him, they would all have to bow respectfully and say, "I have seen Taoist Master Xuanqing."

.....

Three days later.

Changling Mountains, Qingping Mountain.

It took three hours just to climb the mountain.

What comes into view is a gate made of blue bricks and a wall covered with moss.

"No wonder the academy gave the position of temple master, but no one wants to take up the post in such a remote Taoist temple!"

Xuan Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself.

Push open the door.

Creak~

There was a sound like the sound of an old wooden door in the countryside.

After entering the Taoist temple, what you see is a small yard, with a ground of gravel mixed with soil and overgrown with weeds.

Obviously, this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time.

"It seems...some are busy!"

Xuan Qing shook his head.

I will live here for a long time in the future, so I will first look around in the Taoist temple to get familiar with the place.

After some searching.

He found that although the Taoist temple was small, it had complete rooms with various functions.

“I didn’t expect it to be Zisun Temple!”

Xuan Qing sighed.

There are two types of so-called Taoist temples, one is the Jungle Temple and the other is the Zisun Temple.

The former is similar to a public Taoist temple, while the latter is passed down from generation to generation between masters and disciples, and temple property can be inherited.

certainly.

Now all land is state-owned, but the idea of ​​inheritance has died out.

What’s even more surprising is.
Chapter completed!
