Chapter 106 Totally painful! Introductory wonders!
In ancient times, when one became a monk and entered a Taoist temple, there was not much emphasis on things like initiation rituals.
After all, it is difficult for a Taoist sect to accept a Taoist disciple who fully complies with the Eight Rules and Ten Disciplines and is suitable for entering Taoism.
Therefore, even if a beginner offers a little water in a bamboo tube, it will be fine if the intention comes to mind.
Of course, this was in ancient times, and modern society is complex. Whether this is true or not is unclear.
However, the son of the old layman wanted to donate two buildings as soon as he opened his mouth, which was a bit generous.
The Gongde Hall here is not what everyone thinks in common sense, or in the conventional building plans of ordinary Taoist gates, there is no such building as the Gongde Hall.
This is an edict issued by a monastic emperor of a certain dynasty.
This Hall of Merit is also aimed at the human race, but it is worshiped with the help of the Dao Sect.
The statues inside are also some special beings. They are all about educating people in farming, inventing medicine, making calendars and time-sharing, making utensils to establish authority, weaving linen into cloth, building houses, initiating trade, educating people, and performing five-string rituals and music. , a typical human sage who made pottery as utensils.
Although it is not directly related to the Taoist sect, the existence of such a merit hall also means that the Taoist temple is very status and famous.
Therefore, in ancient times, this kind of merit hall would also become one of the first choices for wealthy merchants and nobles to donate merit buildings.
However, the Seven Star Tower requires a lot of attention.
The seven stars in the Taoist Gate represent Ziwei Doushu, the sun, the sun god, Tianji, Tiantong, Tianfu, and Tianguan.
The Seven-Star Tower is also the residence of the Seven-Star God Lord worshiped by Taoists. It needs to be built in a place with good Feng Shui and has the meaning of suppression.
Moreover, although it is called 7 Star, it has 8 floors. In addition to the first floor of the hall, there are another 7 floors, each floor is dedicated to a god.
"Thank you, donor. We at Qingfeng Temple don't have heavy entrance rituals." Guo Lin sighed and said.
Moreover, he did not accept the old layman into Qingfeng Temple for these reasons, but because of the old layman himself.
Xie Chong immediately said: "Taoist Master, this is not a big deal to our family. It's really just a little bit of our care!"
"..." Guo Lin suddenly didn't want to talk to these rich people.
Two buildings with a little care?
Do people say it?
It will cost a lot of money to really build these two buildings.
The old layman also said at this time: "Taoist Master, you should accept it. A seven-star tower and a hall of merit are also what I want."
When Guo Lin heard what the old layman said, he could only nod his head and say: "Since my family agrees, then prepare the documents, go back and get the household registration, and then follow me to the Youcheng Taoist Association to register, and then hold the initiation ceremony."
"Taoist Master, the documents are ready!" When Xie Chong heard this, he quickly took out a document, and then added: "As for the household registration, it will arrive in the afternoon, and the procedures over there have been completed with a relationship. ”
"..." Guo Lin was a little confused when he saw this and took the document.
Is this already prepared?
At that time, this document will also be prepared by the Taoist Association.
"The household registration has arrived in the afternoon. The layman will follow me to the Taoist Association in the county." Guo Lin finally said, and then walked towards the temple.
After walking a few steps, he remembered something and turned to Xie Qingyang and said: "'Herong Shengguan Tongxuanzong, the righteousness is enlightened and all methods are fulfilled', layman, after entering Qingfeng Guan, you will be of the same generation as me, call me from now on. Just be a Taoist brother, you can choose the Taoist name yourself!"
After speaking, Guo Lin left directly.
For people with naming difficulties, this kind of painful thing is not something they can do.
But this made the old layman confused.
This is too casual.
Guo Lin promised the old layman to enter Qingfeng Temple, but did not accept him as a disciple.
Firstly, the old layman is old, and secondly, he is still young. Moreover, he is a temple master and generally does not accept disciples easily.
An old layman who enters a Taoist temple can only be regarded as an ordinary Taoist disciple, not a direct descendant.
Xie Chong was indeed very fast. In the afternoon, he and the old layman came to Guo Lin with their household registration.
The old layman also took advantage of the situation and changed his mind: "Brother Taoist, just call me Xuanyang from now on."
Xuan Yang?
The name was obviously chosen very casually.
"Then let's go, follow me down the mountain!" Seeing the old layman eager to get in, Guo Lin also thought about getting the matter done, and then called Lin Ze'an.
They all went down the mountain, and the Taoist temple could only temporarily ask this donor Lin to take a look.
Lin Ze'an looked at Xie Qingyang with some envy.
Is this old layman going to be admitted to Qingfeng Temple by the Taoist priest?
It's a pity that he can only envy him. Different situations vary from person to person. He is a believer and very pious, but he can't become a monk.
There are too many things in the world that he cares about.
Guo Lin took Xie Qingyang down the mountain and soon arrived at the location of the Youcheng Taoist Association. He had been there before with the old Taoist priest.
He remembered that the Youcheng Taoist Association was sparse and far less lively than the Fao Association.
When we arrived outside the Youcheng Taoist Association, looking at the closed door was a bit too much.
Although there are only Qingfeng Temple and Ziyun Pavilion in the countryside left in Youcheng, are they not even open?
Fortunately, there are two telephone numbers on the door that can be dialed, one is the internal number of the Youcheng Taoist Association, and the other is the number of the president of the Youcheng Taoist Association.
If he remembered correctly, the other party was the temple owner of Ziyunting Taoist Temple.
He took out his mobile phone and first tried to call the Taoist Association's number to see if he received anything like:
"Hello, the number you dialed has been out of service..."
"???" Guo Lin was speechless.
The Youcheng Taoist Association is not in such a miserable state, right?
He quickly dialed the number of another president.
As soon as the call came through, a woman's voice came: "Who are you looking for?"
Guo Lin hurriedly said: "I'm looking for Yundao..."
"He has returned to secular life and got married. Please don't bother us with this phone call again." The woman interrupted Guo Lin directly and then hung up, leaving Guo Lin with a confused face.
What's going on?
The association's telephone number is down.
The president returned to secular life and got married.
Now there's no one to open the door?
Even if he has a good temper, he can't help but think about it.
So what should he do now?
He has never encountered such a situation, has no experience, and does not know how to handle it.
Xie Qingyang was a little confused when he saw this scene.
What's going on with the Youcheng Taoist Association?
Guo Lin sighed silently, not knowing how to deal with it, so he simply called Chen Li and asked him to help with the procedures.
Youcheng is carrying out the tourism + development strategy, and Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are also the focus. The other parties must have connections with the Buddhist Association and the Taoist Association.
Moreover, officially, there are more ways than him, and it will be less troublesome than him contacting him himself.
Otherwise, it may take some time to apply for a transfer of citizenship for an old layman.
When the call was connected, Chen Li's laughter came over: "Daozhang Guo, why do you have time to call me?"
"Mr. Chen, I have one more thing to trouble you." Guo Lin immediately told Chen Li what he had encountered and asked him to help transfer the old layman's household registration.
"Taoist Master Guo, don't worry and leave this kind of trivial matter to me. I have connections in the city. Just ask him to say hello to the Taoist Association in the city. It won't take long." Chen immediately agreed with a smile and said Guaranteed.
Guo Lin hung up the phone and had no choice but to take Xie Qingyang back to Qingfeng Temple.
Chen Li's work efficiency was indeed very high, and he sent the relevant documents and procedures to Qingfengguan in the afternoon of the next day.
But what made Guo Lin dumbfounded was that Chen Li also brought him a letter of appointment.
"President of Youcheng Taoist Association, Mr. Chen, what's going on?" Guo Lin asked Chen Li directly and incredulously.
So casual?
Chen Li was even more embarrassed and said: "Well, to become a Taoist, the local Taoist Association needs to be recorded, but there is no one in the Youcheng Taoist Association now, so, Taoist Master Guo, you have to do it, otherwise it will be more troublesome to go to the city in person and go back and forth."
The people he contacted in Mingshi yesterday were dumbfounded, okay?
An old classmate of his went to the City Taoist Association to check and found out that the position of president of the Youcheng Taoist Association was already vacant. The note was that he had returned to secular life three months ago.
Registered members of Taoist Association: 0.
After another check of the Taoist priests registered in Youcheng, there was only one Taoist priest, Taoist priest Guo. He was a Taoist registered more than 20 years ago, but it was a dual certificate. He should have applied for it later for schooling.
So, what to do? He could only ask his old classmates to make a proposal there.
That's it.
Chen Li also explained it to Guo Lin. In the end, even Guo Lin was unable to complain and could only accept the identity of the president of the Youcheng Taoist Association.
Can't refuse.
After refusing, no one will apply for local naturalization for the old layman, so I went to Ming City to apply for it, which might be very troublesome to tell Mr. Chen. .
Only by refusing to refuse him, the only surviving Miaomiao, could he help the old layman handle the matter in person at the Taoist Association.
In a modern society, everything is standardized and rules must be followed, but sometimes such painful things happen.
This reminded him of the fact that when an old man died, the bank would ask the old man to show up in person and the family members to carry the body to the bank.
Chen Li quickly said goodbye and left. He still had to do the planning of the visitor center.
After the flies and cockroaches in Fengyuan Temple were solved, he had to make relevant plans. In a few days, Sun County would bring people to conduct on-site inspections.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Chen Li subconsciously glanced at Fengyuan Temple.
Just this glance made him stunned.
There seem to be flies appearing on Fengyuan Temple again.
"???" Chen Li was not sure and hurriedly walked into Fengyuan Temple.
When he got closer, he saw flies appeared again in the sky above Fengyuan Temple, and cockroaches seemed to appear around the ground.
"..." Chen Li immediately became paralyzed.
Why else?
Moreover, it seems to have flown in from outside.
In the time it took him to arrive, a lot of them seemed to fly in.
this……
Chen Li did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to open Sun County's WeChat, and took a video of the other party, along with a message: "Sun County, we may be embarrassed, these flies and cockroaches are a little strange!"
On the other side, Sun County subconsciously stood up from his chair after receiving the video sent by Chen Li.
What the hell.
Didn’t you say it was solved? Why is there again?
What's going on at Fengyuan Temple? Does it attract flies and cockroaches like this?
…
Qingfengguan.
Guo Lin quickly calmed down and took Xie Qingyang down the mountain again.
Once again outside the Youcheng Taoist Association, his mood was complicated.
"Taoist Master, how do you get in here?" Xie Qingyang looked at the locked door and asked in shock.
"..." Guo Lin then remembered that he didn't have a key either?
In the end, he could only call the locksmith and change the lock before entering the Taoist Association.
As for the mess inside, he no longer wanted to pay attention to it. He would let the old layman clean it up some time.
He is now the president of the Taoist Association. After that, the old layman will be naturalized and must be registered. Anyway, there are only two of them in the Youcheng Taoist Association.
Guo Lin walked to a computer and tried to open it. Fortunately, it was still usable and he was conscientious enough not to move it too.
After checking the information, it turned out that only his Qingfeng Temple and Ziyunting were registered in Youcheng.
However, the audience at Ziyunting is already empty.
This is not his business. You have to return to secular life before you can get married. Then the other person's Qingfeng view is not the same as theirs.
I'll just update the information later.
In that case, when the Taoist Association above sees a vacancy for a temple master, when a student from the Taoist academy graduates, they will trick a newbie into becoming a temple master.
There is also a template for naturalization registration in the computer, and Guo Lin also helps the old layman register for naturalization according to the template sequence.
From now on, the old layman is a Taoist disciple of Qingfengguan, with the registered Taoist name: Xuanyang.
Guo Lin clicked OK to upload and updated the information. After that, he took Xie Qingyang back to the Taoist temple and wrote Xuan Yang's name into the Taoist book of Qingfeng Temple.
After doing all this, a game system prompt suddenly appeared in his mind:
[Congratulations, the sect’s station has recruited monks for the first time, and you will be rewarded with 100 vows! 】
[Congratulations, the sect’s station has recruited a monk for the first time, and you will be rewarded with a special entrance spectacle: smoke and clouds, and condensed characters (can be activated after completing the Taoist disciple’s entrance ceremony!)]
