Qingyun Temple
The autumn rain was slanting, and devout pilgrims were still coming in an endless stream despite the rain. Pei Ziyun took a deep breath and slowly withdrew from the silence. He felt refreshed, his whole body felt comfortable, and he was able to perform his meritorious deeds again. enhance.
However, there was not much joy on his face, he just thought: "Practice every day, accumulate spiritual wisdom, and cultivate magic power, but this process is actually changing the internal organs."
"According to the world, it is a gradual process. According to my world view, this process is a natural process. If it is accelerated, it will bring disaster."
"Even if there is a panacea, is it possible that it can promote cell division and replace the whole body? If so, I'm afraid it's cancer cells?" Pei Ziyun was sipping tea and pondering. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Pei Ziyun stood up and opened the door. , and it turns out that it’s the little Lolita again in early summer.
These days, every time the practice ends at this time, the little loli comes to harass and stalk Pei Ziyun, dragging Pei Ziyun out in the name of senior sister, to go play on the street here. In name, it is to experience the world, but in fact it is Bought some kites, dough figures, and candy figures.
Sometimes little Loli Chuxia would drag Pei Ziyun to tease other senior brothers. Little Loli Chuxia was very naughty, and the original owner had been teased by this senior sister Chuxia in her previous life.
Thinking of her later murder, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but feel tenderness. Many times, he felt like he had turned into a naughty child by leaning on her. From time to time, people watching would complain, and he was so upset that even Pei Ziyun fell in love with her. Yu Yunjun’s reprimand.
"What are you going to do today?" Pei Ziyun smiled.
"No more fun. There is nothing to do in this Taoist temple. Let's go back to Fu's Mansion. Auntie said, you are already familiar with the introductory lessons, so there is no point in staying in the temple. Besides, your ceremony for raising people is about to start, and you have to Go back and accept the teachings of Gongyuan." Chu Xia was not naughty this time and said seriously.
"Oh, I understand." Pei Ziyun nodded. This time he came to Qingyun Temple to become a naturalized student. He was familiar with the outer disciples and Songyun Sect rules. His performance was amazing and he was indeed ready to leave.
Prefecture·Fu Mansion
When Yu Yunjun, Pei Ziyun, and Xiao Loli returned to the Fu Mansion, Fu Juren had already prepared a banquet to wash away the dust. Originally, it was just that, but now that Pei Ziyun has become his junior brother, he has to take more care of them.
At the banquet, Pei Ziyun and Fu Juren had a pleasant conversation about essays and ci. They were both juren, and their talents were even better, so there was quite a sense of sympathy between them in their conversation. After listening to what Fu Juren said, I learned that it turned out that Fu Juren I was selected among the candidates, and I did not want to enter the Songyun Clan. It was just that I had been unsuccessful for a long time, and I was related by marriage. With the recommendation of Lord Yu Yun, I entered the Songyun Clan.
A few days later, in the morning, as soon as Pei Ziyun got up, the housekeeper came to invite him. He arrived at the hall with the housekeeper and saw that breakfast had been prepared on the table. Fu Juren, Yu Yunjun, and Xiao Loli Chuxia had all arrived.
Just as Pei Ziyun followed the housekeeper into the hall, he heard little Loli Chuxia shouting: "Junior brother, come on, come on, I'm waiting for you to eat."
After saying that, he jumped down from the stool and dragged Pei Ziyun to sit down.
Fu Juren had experience and smiled: "Actually, etiquette classes are taught in the county, but you passed the exam too quickly, so you study in the Prefecture Gongyuan."
"This etiquette class is not a big deal, but I still have to go. There are various etiquette classes that will be very useful when dealing with officials in the future."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about this day. The common people call it the Jade Emperor, and the scholars call it the Emperor. The difference in this word is actually an essential difference."
"Although you have entered the Taoist sect, you still need to learn these things. This is the official sacrifice of the imperial court, and it cannot be compared to the external gods and wild gods."
Pei Ziyun nodded repeatedly. After breakfast, Pei Ziyun followed Fu Juren and prepared to go out. Little Loli Chuxia chased him out and shouted: "Junior brother, go early and come back early. In the afternoon we will go out to the river beach to fly a kite."
When they got out of the gate, there was already a butler in front of the gate who had arranged an ox cart to go to Gongyuan. When they arrived at Gongyuan, there were two sword-wielding swordsmen standing at the door. After entering Gongyuan, Fu Juren led Pei Ziyun to the classroom. He saw many people Juren was all present. He didn't know Pei Ziyun Juren, so he couldn't help but ask Fu Juren: "Who is this? He is so young?"
Someone lowered his voice: "This is the year of Jie Yuan."
Several people were stunned after hearing this: "So this is the fifteen-year-old Jie Yuan."
Everyone looked at him and bowed his hands to Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun bowed in return and looked at each other with a smile. At this time, they heard someone shouting: "Bring people in."
Everyone stopped laughing and showed serious expressions. An academic officer wearing official robes came. Behind this officer were two clerks, holding a large pile of books and swaying over.
When the academic officer entered the classroom, he just shouted: "Quiet!"
The voices in the venue were much quieter. At this time, the academic officer called the roll. After checking the names, the academic officer said: "Everyone, I checked your resumes. Sixty-seven candidates were selected, and 60% of them were from poor backgrounds!"
"Confucius said that if you learn well, you will become an official. You are all born from a white body, you are a scholar from a child, you are a scholar from a scholar, you may become a Jinshi in the future, relying on the Four Books and Five Classics, you can be here today, you can say that you have learned And excellent.”
"But can you be an official?"
"This, I don't think is possible yet."
After hearing this, all the candidates were silent. The room was extremely quiet. The academic officer showed his white teeth and said, "Maybe you are angry, but let me give you an example."
"A certain scholar has been studying for more than 20 years and has a lot of reputation in the county. I met him once and he talked to me about the mercy of the Lotus Mother."
"I know that many people in the countryside worship Our Lady of Lotus, but how many of them know that this is an imperially-ordained obscene ritual, and it has evil deeds of using God to advocate for chaos and incite ignorant people!"
"You scholars are different from the common people. Not only do you read the scriptures seriously, but you also have to have a correct heart. When you encounter this incident, you not only have to write a letter to demolish the temple, but also urge the government to arrest and investigate, so as to watch and listen - this is etiquette!"
"I don't know who took the exam, but I can say that if you can't even distinguish between the official priest and the adulterer, how can you get a Jinshi?"
The academic officer lectured repeatedly, but when everyone was silent, he smiled and said: "Etiquette, first of all, is to determine the status and standards, so as to correct people's hearts."
"Official sacrifices and obscene sacrifices are very important. The second is the standard system for the division of officials. Everyone knows that houses below the prince are not allowed to use heavy arched caissons, and the halls built by common people are not allowed to have more than three rooms or five shelves. These are all It’s etiquette, what you originally learned was nothing more than formality.”
Speaking of reality, others may be drowsy, but Pei Ziyun listened very seriously. In this world, the kings and ministers, gods, officials and people all have different etiquettes, with different weights. These etiquettes represent class, social distribution, and the tilt of resources. , Pei Ziyun was thoughtful.
It can be said that this is the essence.
However, in the first lesson, I didn’t talk much. When Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao went out, they saw Fu Juren also coming up to greet them. Fu Juren smiled and said, “We are both governors, so we don’t need to be polite.”
Before Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao were elected, they lived in Fu Ju's house, where they received much care and guidance. The four of them talked, got into an oxcart, and then parted ways.
Fu Mansion
As he got out of the car, Fu Juren smiled and said: "This etiquette class is boring, but as a Juren, you still have to learn and know the etiquette. Otherwise, if you are rude in the future, you will be in a lot of trouble."
"Thank you for the teaching. Actually, I don't feel bored." Pei Ziyun studied class theory and state theory in his original life. Of course he knows that any country has rulers and ruled. This hierarchy of superiority and inferiority may seem simple, but it is how a country operates." "Clean up the roots."
Even in a modern country, who is the real master and who is the real servant is the essence of politics.
It can be said that the thousands of scriptures are not as good as the "one sentence from the true teaching" that I heard today, but now that I have entered Taoism, I can study these slowly, but I still ask: "It's just that I still have questions. This imperial court canonized my Taoist sect. I If you still have doubts, please educate me."
When the etiquette officer was talking about etiquette just now, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but think of Taoism. This was his vital interest.
Fu Juren thought for a while, sorted out the memories in his mind, and then said: "The divisions of the imperial court are: obscene sacrifice, forehead grant, title grant, and official ceremony."
"Yinsi is to attack and suppress."
"The grant of quota is legal and allowed to exist, but it is not included in the national system. This is the system of Taoism."
"Giving a knighthood is a grace given by the state, but it may not be included in the official ritual. If it is not included, it is a one-time grace."
"The official sacrificial ceremony means that the state provides sacrifices every year and shares the dragon's energy."
"To be more specific, the temples of the gods should be ennobled. Those without titles will be given temple titles. Those who have been given titles will be given titles. The first title will be male uncle, the second title will be marquis, and then the title will be king. Those who have titles will be based on their original titles. .The goddess makes her a wife, and then a concubine."
"In our Taoist sect, the corresponding canonizations are Chu Zhenren and Cizhenjun."
Pei Ziyun nodded to express that he understood. The Taoist sect canonizes a real person and a true king. However, this true king is completely different from the real king who has become a saint in the flesh. It is a canonization in the spiritual world.
"According to the memory of the original owner's previous life, both gods and Taoists are eager to be granted a title by the imperial court."
"The merits of the outer disciples include obtaining bestowals for the sect as the most important, writing books and building temples to spread reputations as the second most important, traveling around counties and slaying demons and slaying demons as the third most important, and the third most important is practicing medicine to treat illnesses and save people. Just practicing medicine to treat illnesses has the least backlash. The least feared by the imperial court."
"But if we want to accumulate merit quickly, I'm afraid we can't take our time."
Thinking about it this way, the sect's contribution can be analyzed. Although the sect does not pursue fame and wealth, but it pursues power, it needs a wealthy partner and a lawful place, so that there can be continuous feedback.
"Ordinary disciples practice medicine and cure many diseases, and travel around counties and slay demons. There are people who have done these, or have achieved the ultimate level."
"When you reach Wei Ang's level, you can use your power to protect your master's sect, and even build a view to expand your property. Therefore, you can save thousands of people at a glance, so you stand out."
"If I want to catch up later, I have to do something big. The sect is canonized by the imperial court, but the real person. According to the memory of the original owner, the ancestor of this dynasty died, and the kings competed for the throne. Many sects have influence, but this sect is not He is a real person and he occupies a famous mountain. This is a recipe for disaster."
"If we can find a way to confer the title of True Lord on our sect now, it will be a great achievement, and we will have the initiative in the future."
"If I can do this, no matter how hard Song Zhi and Wei Ang try, they can't compare to me."
"Although meritorious service may not necessarily lead to becoming the master's disciple, at least external skills are enough."
This thought made me feel a slight pain in the middle of my eyebrows, and a transparent plum blossom appeared. Then a small white plum appeared in front of my eyes, and it quickly enlarged, and a line of red words appeared on the information frame: "Mission: Establish meritorious service, three heroes from the outer sect."
As soon as Pei Ziyun saw it, he secretly understood: "You want me to establish great achievements in a short period of time, compete with Song Zhi and Wei Ang, and become the core of the outer sect?"
Just how to do this and achieve the goal
Pei Ziyun took a few steps and had a plan in his mind. To achieve this goal, he must spread his reputation widely.
Since he has registered himself as a Taoist scholar and cannot become an official, the best way is to write poems and books to broadcast his reputation first. Only then can he leverage the general trend and seek great profits. In his previous life, he was the best at doing this.
