Chapter 40: Sitting on Mount Lu
The addition of two Hedao members from the Longhu Sect and Jingming Sect put a lot of pressure on Yang Xi, Ge Chaofu and Bao Liang, and also brought huge support to Xie An, Zheng Yin and Li Hong.
.
When Xie An continued to make concessions on many issues, Yang, Ge, and Bao finally agreed to the most important item in the agreement: to merge all the power of Jin and put it under the control of Chongxuan Bureau.
Based on this basic principle, Chongxuan Bureau will be established in each sect to take charge of preaching and education. In the future, after each sect and each sect produces Hedao monks, the faith required for ascension will be arranged by Chongxuan Bureau, whoever completes it first
Whoever is prepared to ascend will ascend.
The agreement also made plans for the development of each sect. No more Taoist temples will be built in central Beijing, and local states and counties will be handed over to each sect. Each sect and sect will divide the scope of preaching based on the existing power and scale.
For example, if Jiangzhou and Nanyang are allocated to Louguan Taoism, then only Louguan Taoism is allowed to add Taoist temples in these two states and counties in the future, and other sects are not allowed to add Taoist temples. However, Taoist temples that have been established by other sects can still be established.
To recruit disciples and earn Taoist property, Lou Guan must ensure that they preach normally.
The major affairs of the Chongxuan Department all come from the Tianshi Hall, which is composed of all Hedao, and monks from various sects are assigned to take charge of specific affairs.
After half a year of arduous negotiations, the agreement was finally reached, and the Lushan Taoist priest Lu Xiujing, named by Gu Zuo personally, compiled the general catalog of scriptures of various sects and sects.
Lu Xiujing is a practicing practitioner with no sect. He prefers to study Taoist scriptures and practices in Lushan Mountain all year round. Hearing that the White Tiger God specially appointed him to compile the general catalog of Taoist scriptures, he was very happy and immediately accepted the task.
Adding the sect's scriptures to the general catalog of Taoism is a major event that will establish the sect's status in the Taoist sect in the future. Each sect attaches great importance to this, and almost all the sect leaders, heads or priests go to Lushan in person to assist Lu Xiujing.
Lu Xiujing spent his whole life collecting Taoist classics from various sects. He could find unique copies of the lost scriptures of many sects. The foundation was already good, and with the active cooperation of each sect, the first edition was finalized and named in half a year.
"Catalog of Three Cave Sutras".
After the book was completed, various sects were invited to Lushan for revision, so fifty-seven sects, large and small, gathered in Lushan.
Taking this opportunity, with Gu Zuo's instructions, the eight Taoists convened a Taoist sect meeting in Lushan to improve and modify the terms of the agreement and compile the "Tianxia Sect Book".
During this major meeting, the structure of the Chongxuan Department was determined, fifty-seven sects were officially recognized, the territories of each sect were divided, and the sixteen patriarchs worshiped by all sects were stipulated, including the Sanqing sects.
, Yin Zu, Zhang Tianshi, etc., among them Gu Shenjun is impressive.
One of the important responsibilities of the Chongxuan Department is to build a trust pool and oversee the control of trust in the world. Gu Zuo was the first to pour his own trust into the trust pool, and each faction followed suit.
Two billion two hundred million credits were immediately stored in the pool.
This series of major events established the order of Taoism in the 18th Jin Dynasty and determined the development of the general trend of the world. It is known as the Lushan Theory in history.
After the major events were agreed upon, Gu Zuo completed his mission to the lower realm. According to the agreement in the Lushan Forum, he could be ranked first in line, open the void passage with 600 million faith, and return to the world of chaos.
At the same time, because he himself is included in the list of recognized ancestors in this world and ranked fifth, his statue will appear in most Taoist temples in the 18th world in the future, and because of his time in the lower world
Recently, the most recent manifestations of the saints will lead to a very large proportion of credibility, even surpassing Sanqing and Yinzu, ranking first.
From now on, every time He Dao ascends and every time he gives a monk a casket, he has a share of the faith paid to heaven. After six years of understanding, especially when he was sitting in Lushan, the "
Gu Zuo already knew how much trust and power the Jin Dynasty had to pay in the 18th World.
If the current scale remains unchanged, there will be an ascension every fifteen years or so, offering 600 million Gui of faith to the heaven; in order to communicate with the heaven, obtain the qualifications to use talismans from the Tianshi Mansion, and every
When a Taoist priest is enthroned, he also has to pay a certain amount of credit, which varies according to the level of his position, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions. This amount of credit actually far exceeds the credit paid for ascension, which is about 100,000 yuan per year.
Around 80 million to 100 million.
Adding the two together, Gu Zuo estimated that the average number was 120 million to 140 million per year, of which he himself could account for more than 16 million.
Six years later in the lower world, Gu Zuo completed his mission. Compared with the time in the chaotic world, it was equivalent to one and a half years in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when doing anything, we must start from the overall situation of the world. In one year, we can achieve the goal that took the previous five years. The most important thing is to form this pattern into a system to ensure that the credibility he captures will account for a large proportion of the future.
will not be significantly reduced.
Gu Zuo still has no plans to go back. He wants to ensure that this system runs smoothly for three years and forms system inertia. The most important thing is that the Northern Five Pecks of Rice Road has not yet been accommodated and the world has not been unified. How can it just leave?
After the discussion in Lushan, Xie An has been pestering Gu Zuo, asking him to include the integration of the Northern Five Dou Rice Road into the agenda as soon as possible. At the end of the year, Gu Zuo finally spoke: "Write a letter to Master Kou Tian that I want to meet with him. Where
It’s up to him.”
Kou Tianshi, named Qianzhi, was a Northern Qin Taoist priest who offered wine to the Taoist priests. He actually controlled the education of millions of believers in the Northern Qin Dynasty and was also the Northern Qin State Master.
He "little practiced the art of Zhang Lu" and became a Taoist disciple of Wu Dou Mi. Later, he became a disciple of Gongxing and followed him to practice in Songshan Mountain. He lived in seclusion in a stone room, fed and collected medicine, and thus achieved great success in practice.
What really established his authority in the Five Dou Rice Road was his reform of the Five Dou Rice Road. The main measures were not to collect taxes on renting rice, not to practice the art of combining men and women, and requiring the Five Dou Rice Road to "focus on etiquette as the first priority, and to supplement it with food and closed practices."
. He also requested that the direct recitation of Taoist scriptures in the past be changed to "music recitation", that is, music accompaniment should be used when reciting the scriptures, that is, singing and chanting.
The Five Pecks of Rice Dao after his reform was called the New Heavenly Master Dao or the Northern Heavenly Master Dao, which spread widely and became the state religion of the Northern Qin Dynasty.
Such a person was highly admired by various sects in the Jin Dynasty. Gu Zuo couldn't bear to feel hurt and decided to have a good talk with him.
The impact of the Lushan lecture was far-reaching. Kou Qianzhi in the north had heard about it a long time ago and was anxious about it. After meeting Xie Jingyi who sent the letter, and after learning about the situation from him, Kou Qianzhi sent five measures of rice to the four heavenly masters.
The other three, Cheng Gongxing, Li Puwen and Yin Shao, convened to discuss the matter.
Cheng Gongxing and Li Puwen both suggested that the so-called White Tiger Divine Lord should be invited to meet him. If the immortal Lord really descended to earth, there would naturally be nothing to say. If not, then he should think about it carefully.
Yin Shao asked: "If not, why don't you join?"
