    Receive salary.

    Time passed little by little. Huang Junming and Yuan Tiangang had already taken time to correct the test papers of the Taoist priests who came to Tianxian Palace to practice. Fortunately, no one got less than ninety points.  But this makes it a little difficult for Huang Junming to do it.

    According to the imperial edict issued in August of the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Taoist priests in the world are divided into five levels and nine grades.  But the Taoist priests who come to Tianxian Palace to study can find out any test paper and it is a pretty good choice. If they receive the salary level according to the five-level and nine-level method, each one will be a first-level or second-level.  Of course this is impossible. Now the entire Taoism is like a pyramid. Standing at the top is Li Shimin, the general leader of Taoism in the world, followed by Huang Junming, the current immortal master, and at the bottom is Yuan Tiangang.  , Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng and Huang Junming's disciples.

    Among them, Li Shimin is regarded as the first-grade Dharma Ribbon, Huang Junming is the first-grade Dharma Ribbon, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao are the second-rank.  Li Chunfeng is in the second rank.  Huang Junming's disciples are considered to be from the third grade.  As a result, all the high-level officials of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty were occupied by people from Tianxian Palace.  And it is impossible for these Taoist priests who come to practice to be awarded too high a grade. After all, it is not a good thing for the upper-level institutions to be bloated.

    But then again, no matter where these three hundred Taoist priests are crammed, don’t they make that level bloated?  The first, second and third grades are absolutely unbearable.  Choose at most one or two with excellent grades.  Awarded the third grade Taishang Dadong Baolu.  The rest shall be appointed.  It can only be awarded to the fourth, fifth and sixth grades.  As for going down further.  That's too unfashionable.  Huang Junming was too embarrassed to grant them such a low salary.  In the end, after some deliberation, we finally selected two people with perfect scores who were considered to be in the third grade.  Ten scores slightly lower than full marks are awarded to the fourth rank, and twenty scores slightly lower than the full score are awarded to the fourth rank.  The rest are all classified into the fifth grade.

    After Li Shimin was notified, the matter of receiving salary from Tianxian Palace finally started with great fanfare.  There were no banners and ribbons, and not many people paid attention. It was simply that in the Sutra-Tibetan Pavilion classroom where the class was taught, more than three hundred Taoists sat together upright, with serious expressions.  There is a Sanqing memorial tablet on the podium, and a small copper incense burner is placed aside, with a faint green smoke.  Refreshing.

    Under the podium, there are two chairs placed in a mountain shape. Huang Junming sits on the right of the top, with Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao on both sides.  The top left seat is reserved for Li Shimin, who was originally the first group of Taoist priests to become a disciple.  Li Shimin planned to come out and receive the salary in person, but the court was busy with some things, so he could only place an empty chair as a symbol.

    Huang Junming glanced at the more than 300 Taoist priests in the audience.  He signaled Ge Yanlin, the eldest disciple beside him, to start this first ceremony in the history of Taoism.

    "The urn is also called the Dharma urn and the treasure urn. It is the supreme talisman book of our Taoist school. It communicates with the gods and names of the gods. It is the basis for our Taoists to enter the Tao by faith and introduce the law. There is a saying: The talisman treasure urn comes from nature, so it is  At the beginning of the Chiming catastrophe, in the confusion, mysterious energy flew in the sky. The chapter of the ritual dragon basket is the transformation of the spirit of the god to respond to the Qi. There is a wonderful principle in one basket. In general, they all have it.  Yunlu Tianzhu, you can wear it but it will bring disaster. You can use it to cultivate Taoism and achieve immortality. Today there are more than three hundred Taoist priests who practice in Tianxian Palace and have achieved Taoism. They are worshiped by the Taoist leader of the world, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty,  The decree of Zhenguanzi. The Immortal Jade Grid of the Temple of Heaven of the Shangqing Dynasty, the True Treasure of the Shangqing Cave, the leader of Xuanmen in the world. The centenary son of the Immortal in the Immortal Realm passed down the treasure. Supervisor of the Xuanzhen Treasure of the Shangqing Dynasty, Sun Simiao Dao of the Xuanzhen Treasure of the Shangqing Dynasty  March 21st, the first year of Zhenguan, the year of Changbao Ju."

    It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Ge Yanlin to finish reading this long document. Although there were many words, there were actually only a few things.  The first point is to explain what this Baolu is for, and the second point is to explain why people grant Baolu.  The third point is that this ceremony was led by Li Shimin.  It was taught by Huang Junming, supervised by Yuan Tiangang, and recommended by Sun Simiao.  The fourth point is what everyone should do after accepting the talisman, such as being patriotic, preaching, daring to be the first in the world, and so on.  The other step is to set this ceremony. In the future, when everyone teaches Dharma to others, they must follow this format and so on.

    Huang Junming listened to Ge Yanlin finish reading the "Introduction" without delay, and took a stack of gold and jade ultimatums from Ming Yue's hand beside him.  Put it in your hand and keep playing with it.  He said loudly: "The upper part of my Dharma basket can move the heaven and the earth, the lower part can shake the mountains and rivers, the Ming Dynasty can conquer dragons and tigers, the Nether can capture ghosts and gods, the power can raise the dead, the cultivation can escape from death and life, the big one can control the country, and the small one can destroy it."  Disaster blessing. Now I grant Ye Fashan, the master of Xuandu Temple in Chang'an City, the Five Thunder Sutras of the Shangqing Dynasty, and the Dadong Baolu of the Shangqing Dynasty. I will be the third-level official of Xuanmen. I will grant it to the traveling Taoist Zhang Guo, the Five Thunders Sutra of the Shangqing Dynasty.  Qing Dadong Baolu. Lead the Xuanmen from the third level." When Huang Junming said this, he glanced at Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao, and they nodded in agreement before shouting loudly.

    "Two Taoist friends come forward to offer incense and receive the Dharma basket!"

    ?Two Taoists, Ye Fashan and Zhang Guo, stood up from their seats. The monk and the Taoist took six tribute incense sticks, lit them and distributed them to the two of them. After offering incense to Sanqing, they fell to their knees with a plop. Ye Fashan took out a book.  The Tao Te Ching indicates that he is a Taoist priest with a temple.  Zhang Guo took out a copy of Xiaoyaoyou from his arms and indicated that he was a wandering Taoist priest with no fixed abode.  After placing the two books respectfully on the ground, the two touched the sutra with their foreheads and raised their hands above their heads.  Huang Junming took out two gold and jade urns and placed them in their hands one by one.  The two of them got up.

    "Xiao Dao Ye Fashan and Zhang Guo. Thank you Immortal Master for giving me the casket!" The two of them saluted Huang Junming, and then saluted Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao.  stood aside.

    "I was awarded Fu Ji, the master of Wuhuā Temple in Jiannan Road, Gan Huaizheng, the leader of Sanqing Temple in Longyou, Wei Jinglu of the First Alliance, and the Five Thunder Dharma Ribbon of Shangqing Three Cave. I received the title of fourth grade."

    "Teach xx Tao xx to view xx, oo Tao oo to view oo The majestic scriptures of the first alliance, the three caves and five thunders of the Shangqing Dynasty. Receive the title of the fourth grade."

    "Teach aa Tao aa contemplation aa, bb Tao bb contemplation bb The majestic scriptures of the righteous alliance, the treasures of the high gods. Receive the title of the fifth grade."

    ???????? This reception alone lasted for an entire hour and a half, not to mention the dry mouth that Huang Junming said, but the number of incense burners in front of the Sanqing tablet had already changed from one to five.  The incense burner must not be dismantled until the incense is burned out.  It can only be added continuously.

    Huang Junming, with a hoarse voice, looked at the Taoist priests wearing dharma urns on their waists and said with emotion: "It has been half a year since August last year. You have spent time here with the poor Taoist and everyone, and now you have received the dharma.  Lu, we have to go our separate ways again. I didn’t want to say anything more, for fear of making people cry if I say too much. But I can’t help but tell you again. From now on, if you don’t have merit in Dharma Lu, you won’t be promoted. If you have outstanding merit or contribution to society,  Those who have made special contributions may be promoted to higher ranks. Those who have no merit or virtue and wish to be promoted will be sent by heaven. You should keep this in mind."

    "I will obey the Immortal Master's decree!" Huang Junming's answer was a neat sound of singing promises.

    Huang Junming turned his back and waved his hand.  He murmured to himself: "Let's go, let's go back to your palace and save the world and save people."
