In Yingchuan County, three horsemen drove side by side in the wind and snow. Following the map instructions, they broke out into a relatively wide official road and turned into a small mountain road.

At noon, just because of the heavy snowfall of goose feathers, the three of them were blurred in their sight, making it harder to walk on the rugged mountain path. Fortunately, the three of them were not inferior horses, but horses from the Taoist temple in the capital. They were said to be descendants of mountain dragons. Although their bloodlines were thin, they traveled through mountains and rivers as if they were walking on flat ground. In addition to their respective pass certificates, the most important thing was the official document written by the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the capital of the capital, written by the real person of the country, and then approved by the largest Taoist temple in Ruzhou.

The young woman was wearing a black gauze crown and a thick and warm green Taoist robe.

With curved eyebrows and cheeks, her figure looks thin and plump, riding on a light yellow horse.

A pair of embroidered shoes was slightly exposed, and the golden stirrups were gently tapped.

There were two riders behind, one man and one woman, and the man rode a black horse, dressed in a simple and elegant Taoist robe, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a sword.

The woman has a burly figure and dark skin. She looks even more like charcoal under the snowy weather, but she is dressed in a gorgeous manner. She is a rouge red dress with gold balls and embroidered cuffs.

As a maid in entourage, she is not old, but she is a little too strong. She is equipped with a knife on her waist.

She was riding a tall horse with an old box hanging on each side, one box containing clothes and one box containing books.

There is also a priceless thing that the lady also keeps for her. It is a treasure given by the old lady of the family when she entered the cave.

With the square inch of things, they can travel lightly. In addition to the two boxes hanging on both sides of their crossbody bags and saddles, those that can be folded and interspersed, the food boxes and bottles, and bottles and jars are all filled with square inch.

The woman who came to Changshe County, Yingchuan County, was named Jiansu. She had just entered the cave and had no Taoist name at the moment when winter came last year.

The senior brother Chai Yu, whose courtesy name is Yuanjia, was named Guanhaijing and his path was named Shengmo. His ancestral home was not in the Nanshan Kingdom, which belonged to Yingchuan County, but in the Kura Kingdom, where the Jinfu School Taoist place of the Shimen Sect was located. The ancient trees in the country were towering and were very famous in Qingming Ruzhou.

The maid Su Cheng, nicknamed Hua Qiao, is a genuine "flower fanatic". She is good at planting various flowers, especially her cultivation of peonies. In the capital, the Jian family's gardens are all well-known, and half of the contributions are given to Hua Qiao.

In the past year, the weather has been strange. First, there was a severe drought in the summer last year, and it was said that it had never met for 500 years. The water gods and the daffodils in the world were complaining. I heard that many Hebos were exposed to the sun and their golden bodies were broken. Then there was a continuous snow in winter. It was said that today, it was late spring, and it was still as snow as flowers. Chai Yu held his hat and reached out to block his mouth, saying, "Junior sister, the beginning of next spring, Jade Emperor City will issue Taoist numbers as usual. When you arrive at the Taoist temple in Changshe County, don't forget to write a few favorite Taoist numbers. It is best to send them to the family and the ancestors of the Beijing family and the masters before the autumn this year.

Hall, both sides are ready for you to prepare for you, help you plan and strive for a certain Taoist name you like, and ensure that it can be passed on the Jade Emperor City. At least once, I will send a letter to you. Listen to the advice of my senior brother. Don’t think about trying your luck. You will definitely not be able to pass it. Although each Taoist official has three self-descript Taoist names that can be reported by the Jade Emperor City, there are so many Taoist officials in the world that can only be encountered in one hundred years. There are so many Taoist officials in the world who hope for it, millions of Taoist officials, each person, and together, there are tens of millions of Taoist names. The difficulty of successfully seeking a title can be imagined..."

Jian Su smiled and interrupted her senior brother's thoughts, "It was a matter of chance to 'request for the ceasing' with Baiyujing Jade Emperor City. It was just a matter of luck. Passing it is just a normal thing. Passing it is an unexpected joy. Anyway, you can't get the ceasing. At worst, you can use the spare Taoist numbers from our Nanshan Kingdom."

The Taoist officials of each state have a name or not, which is a watershed. This means that the Taoist priests who have given talismans have found a master, such as the vulgar son and the crown, and have a word.

But in Qingming, it is not easy to have a Taoist name.

The imperial courts of various countries have set up a archive of special records of Taoist numbers. Every time they pass, they are revised, updated and supplemented.

Because all the Taoist temples in the fourteen states in the world and all the jungles in the ten directions belong to Baiyujing, the Taoist name of any Taoist official must not be repeated.

Therefore, when the Jiazi period arrives, it is a "seeking for the Tao" event that is as numerous as a crossing the river. If you can get a personal offer from the Jade Emperor City and send a documented Taoist name, it will be regarded as "achieve the Tao" by the Taoist official and ask for a great good omen. Therefore, Chai Yu and Jian Su will call it "answered the title" in the chat. Moreover, the Taoist priest who founded the Jade Emperor City was also the leader of the Bai Yujing and the first disciple of the Taoist ancestor, so the Taoist name obtained by this is of great significance.

Therefore, the great leader of the sect was famous, just like the "senior" who was a grand imperial examination in Jiazi.

In order to compete for and reserve Taoist names, on the beginning of spring, the Baiyujing Jade Imperial City, which was procured by Taoist priests in the world, would "open the door" at midnight, send a message to flying swords and colorful talismans, like locusts, covering the sky and the sun, and swarming in to help the Taoist officials in their dynasty temples ask for a "beautiful" Taoist name that they met early.

Many of the fourteen states have long been great monks in the upper five realms, and they have not even had a serious Taoist name to this day, just to "take a chance". As a result, they have not been able to successfully seek title for more than a dozen times.

Hua Qiao reached out and patted the snow between the mane of the horse's neck and mane, and said, "Miss, the Ministry of Rites reserved Taoist names. From Baiyujing to our Ruzhou, they have always been handed over by the Red Jin Dynasty. They may have to be screened by the other major dynasties during this period. Finally, they arrived in our Nanshan Kingdom. There were only a hundred Taoist names left, and they were all left by others. The meaning was ordinary and it sounded very ordinary. Some of them were so rare that they were not like Taoist names. I didn't even recognize some of the characters, but there were still some three-character and four-character Taoist names. Is it reasonable? Those who could pass a little more were snatched away by the ancestors of the two sects, or by the back doors of the largest Taoist temples and the court, and quietly bought them for a lot of money. Finally, the few Taoist names left that were left were all snatched up and broken their heads."

Seeing that his junior sister was still a little absent-minded, Chai Yu said, "There are often troubles because of this, and many wealthy families are fighting openly and secretly for this, and there are disagreements."

Jian Su reached out to take the fallen snow that fell in her palm and murmured: "Isn't the Taoist name also an external object? It's understandable that ordinary people compete for fame and fortune, but we are Taoist priests."

Chai Yu shook his head, feeling helpless, and was about to defend himself so that his junior sister would not be so naive and unpragmatic.

Jian Su was obviously unwilling to argue with her senior brother about this matter. She smiled and said, "I know, I know, I will definitely care about it."

In addition, the Taoist names of all the Taoist officials in the upper five realms, even if the soldiers have already passed away, will not be repeated in the future.

I heard that Master Lu has always suggested that the Taoist names of those Yupu Realm Taoist officials in history should be opened to the public.

It is rumored that the head priest also suggested that the Taoist names of some deceased earth immortals could be sealed on behalf of Bai Yujing and kept for a hundred years.

Later disciples, disciples, or family members of each Taoist temple can make up for the shortcomings if anyone succeeds in joining the Earth Immortal in the future, which is considered to be the inheritance of this Taoist name. Before this, the Taoist priest could also follow the process and have a Taoist name that came step by step. However, when joining the Earth Immortal, if you want to inherit the Taoist name, you can take a trip to the Jade Emperor City of Baiyujing and personally retrieve the Taoist name of the Taoist ancestor or the ancestor of the family. Moreover, the two Taoist priests do not conflict, and there is no need to make choices. You can have two Taoist priests at the same time, just like the self-titled and alias of the literati.

But unfortunately, neither of these two proposals was approved, and the whole world knew it. The only Taoist priest in Bai Yujing who could reject the suggestion of Master Lu was the only one who could ruler Yu.

I heard that there is no such etiquette in Haoran. Only some genealogical monks from the Great Immortal Palace will have the Taoist names strictly registered and archived by the Middle Earth Confucian Temple.

As long as the genealogy monks of small sects don’t make a name for themselves, they will be happy when they get the advantage. They will not publicize this matter to the public. Of course, they should not take the "old" Taoist name with too much reputation. Generally speaking, it is nothing. The Confucian Temple Academy cannot control it, and the local court does not want to control it. As for the so-called mountain and wild cultivation, they can even take the Taoist name at will.

If you want to talk about that wild world, it would be better to be a lawless land without mentioning it. There are no rules at all.

The maid Huaqiao was worried, "Miss, when Hong Miao stepped down, she left a mess, and the identity of the female ghost who was wandering around and breaking the ban was still unknown. This ghost has not been captured yet and has unknown traces. We should be careful. Try to walk the official roads as much as possible and avoid these mountain paths."

The ancient roads in the mountains are rarely visited, and the roads are narrow, and the carriages cannot be reached at all. The grooves between the mountain roads are mostly pits of horse hooves left by tea and horse salt merchants. The roads are covered with heavy snow. If the horse hooves are accidentally stepped on, they will limp. Chai Yu held the bamboo hat on his head and nodded, "What the fancy words are not bad, we should be careful."

Jian Su smiled and said, "According to the county chronicles, there is an abandoned gym in the mountains with a long history. We have seen it and continue to walk the official road."

Chai Yu said helplessly: "Junior sister, if I remember correctly, you seem to say this when you traveled to Huangting Temple at the foot of Jicuifeng Mountain and the next two ancient ruins."

The largest historical site in Ruzhou is the Huangting Temple built at the foot of Jicuifeng Mountain. It is a huge sight. It is respected as the ancestral courtyard of the Dao line divided into the Huangting line from Nanhua City, Baiyujing. The ancestor worshipped in the temple, with a high virtue and high Taoism, is the deputy city lord of Nanhua City. She is respected as Mrs. Wei, and the Taoist name is "Zixu", and the first woman Yuanjun in Qingming.

Mrs. Wei is also one of the ten candidates in the world this time.

Among her direct disciples, there was a female crown who was a divine power who was responsible for the blooming and falling of all flowers in the world. In history books, she had acted as "sending all the flowers but not leaving the mountain, and not blooming in spring on earth". Therefore, she was almost detained by Master Yu and entered the Yanxia Cave of Zhenyue Palace to face the wall and think about her mistakes. The master priest helped to plead for mercy. Then she walked with the female crown and returned the flowers to the world and made up for the mistakes. Only then did she avoid this punishment.

Generally, large Taoist temples, especially the palaces, often preserve a large number of long-standing inscriptions, such as re-repaired inscriptions in a certain year and month, pilgrims donating inscriptions, or mud-produced inscriptions that record the family's fortune, as well as incense inscriptions that specifically record the inheritance of Taoism. There are temple fairs, merchants gather and shoulder to shoulder. At every Dharma fair, there are even fairies and mortals, and the transformation of monsters come together to listen to the Taoist immortals’ green poems and precious edicts, bells and drums ring together, and jade chimes are melodious.

Three riders came to the dilapidated gym in the mountains in the snow, and were all a little disappointed. Originally, according to the content recorded in the local county chronicles, there was an anonymous song of dragons and snakes on the wall of the hall inside the hall. It recorded an allusion of immortals. A young woodcutter accidentally entered this mountain. By chance, he was taught the magic method. He once waded into the water and killed dragons and caught dragons. His wife and two fairies returned. Finally, he saw through the world in the market and joined hands with his Taoist couple to return to the mountains to build a gym. The owner of the Taoist temple was good at painting. He once set up a screen in his own temple and drew clusters of horses with his brush. His posture was ever-changing and lifelike. Every year, a horse "jumped out" the screen and turned into a spiritual object and galloped between the sky and the earth. The horse on the screen will fade away. After a hundred years,

The painted horses have all turned into white drawings. The owner likes to play in the world and often hides his names. He finishes the dragon on the dragon jade in the palaces of various countries. When encountering wind and rain, the stone dragon on the wall will shake his body and beard, soar into the sky, or the screen wall of a wealthy family, and paints eagles and sparrows on the desk of the study. Seeing it is true, you will know that it is false only when you reach out to brush it. According to legend, this immortal once painted a dragon on white silk cloth and gave it to a king of the last generation of the dead-dead country. The silk cloth was rolled up and there was clouds lingering in the painting box, and there were often thunder trembling... In the end, the owner and the two Taoist couples left together. The remaining empty halls, woodcutters and merchants, said that they could often hear the horses roaring their hooves on the wall and roaring at night, just like asking for drinking water and fodder with passers-by here...

As a result, when we arrived at the ruins of the gym, we saw nothing.

Not to mention the screen, even the horse picture on the side hall wall was covered with axe marks, and even many blue bricks were pried away. It was probably carved into brick inkstones and became a desk confession on the tables of later generations of literati.

Jian Su sighed: "It's a pity that it was abandoned, otherwise it would be more than enough to build a palace temple here."

Chai Yu smiled and said, "If the county annals records are true, and the museum owner Xianren once personally painted Sulong to the emperor of the previous dynasty, then as the new king, the founding emperor of the Nanshan Kingdom, of course, would not be willing to rebuild the gym here."

I took a break in the side hall and barely took advantage of the broken wall to avoid the wind and snow. Hua Qiao took out the guys from the square things, started to set up a fire, set up a pot of rice, and then warmed a pot of rice wine for Daoguan Chai Yu.

Jian Su sat on the small embroidery stool, remembered something, and asked, "The specific situation in the Lingjing Temple?"

"Miss, I finally remembered the serious business."

The maid Huaqiao hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, took out a booklet from her sleeve, and finally got some use. The content she carefully sorted out from various channels, one by one, one by one, every detail, was recorded in the book.

"As soon as Hong Miao left, there were no Taoist priests in the temple, but only a few permanent Taoists. The temple prayer named Liu Fang, who was fifty-three years old, was a local. He lived near the Lingjing Temple for generations, and his life was innocent. The Taoist real estate was half of their Liu family's land. It seemed that the Liu family had a ancestral teaching. Every generation of descendants of the Liu family in later generations had to allocate some "incense field" to the Taoist temple. No matter how many acres or how many parts of the land, the Liu family had to do their best."

Jian Su nodded with a smile and said, "I'm very considerate. When we get over there, we will first settle in the Taoist temple, and then visit Liu, prepare a decent gift to express our feelings."

Chai Yu smiled and said, "Actually, as the abbot of Taoist priest, Hong Miao has never had a Taoist certificate. He is just a candidate for Taoist official. He is in the same situation as Hua Qiao. As the master of the spectator, he is an exceptional appointment."

Jian Su said: "It is not considered an extraordinary emphasis. After all, Mr. Hong is the candidate of Guanhai Realm. When he came to Changshe County to serve as abbot, he was not a good job."

Hua Qiao grinned, "Ma Chong is Liu Fang's distant relative, who uses his relationship to enter the Lingjing View. In the document of resignation, Hong Miao specifically mentioned that Ma Chong has a certain opportunity to practice. Of course, Hong Miao's resignation document has an appendix, which is not required to be archived in the government, so it is naturally reserved for the new master for reference. The above said that the temple prayed Liu Fang to promise in his early years that the spiritual view would be allocated to the Taoist temple two acres of paddy fields and a mountain full of persimmon trees. The mountain has long been handed over, but the two acres of paddy fields have been dragged over the years, and it is suspected that he is dependent on the debt at first. Haha, the bad people are out of the way."

"Dianke Chang Geng is a local scholar with a poor family. When he was young, he had a rich family background. He was a famous playboy in the counties of Yingchuan County. He was used to being comfortable. Because he was not good at merchandise, he had a large annual expenses and was unable to make ends meet. When he was old, he was short of money. It is said that because Lingjing Temple owed him a debt in his early years, it was a confusing lawsuit. It seemed that the amount was not small. Taoist temple really had no choice. After all, it was involved in the former master of the temple. It was difficult for Hong Miao to pursue it after taking office, so Chang Geng entered the Taoist temple to be a pawn chef. He was still honest and dedicated in recent years."

"Chen Cong, sixteen years old. He is a relative of Dianke Chang Geng. They entered the spiritual realm view in the same year."

"Lin Fong."

"Um?"

"Liu, take a hand, add a word for thinking. My family opened three shops in the county town, which is a little money. It is considered a wealthy family. The ancestors were all from local county jail clerks. Because our Nanshan Kingdom vigorously abolished the redundant staff of Baishu clerks a few years ago, Lin Liu's father's generation could not survive, so he switched to business. Now he has a good relationship with the county jail. He can barely be considered a local treacherous, which is relatively reluctant."

"The earth paste. The earth paste that 'the yang energy is steaming and the earth paste pulsates'."

When Hua Qiao said this, she smiled. The rain urged the earth to move, and thousands of grasses and thousands of flowers bloomed.

Jian Su asked: "Dugu? Is it the real name?"

Hua Qiao nodded and said, "It's its real name, but in fact, this person's background is an ordinary person. His ancestors were foreigners who moved from a foreign county to Changshe County. He had run a martial arts school for several years and soon could not be managed. He might save some money to allow the earthen ointment to enter the Taoist temple."

Chai Yu smiled and said, "Subject names are rare."

Jian Su frowned slightly, and the more he heard it, the more he felt something was wrong. "No matter how small the spiritual realm view is, it is recorded in the imperial court. The orthodox Taoist temple built by the local government. If you want to become a permanent Taoist in this type of Taoist temple, it seems that you can get in just a few dollars, right?"

Chai Yu held back his laughter, "It's not difficult to understand. Yingchuan County is not a big county, and Changshe County is the poorest. The place is remote. I guess the Taoist temple is too poor."

Similar situations of Taoist temples are actually not uncommon. It’s just that the junior sister comes from a wealthy family and practices since childhood. Of course, she doesn’t know much about this kind of rural relationship.

I only talk about the Taoist prefectures and counties in a country. Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Some counties are rich and some counties are poor and cannot bear the blame.

Many prefectures and counties with seemingly vast jurisdictions may be far less taxable than those of a county in another place.

Jian Su asked: "Has Master Hong Guan wrote in the official document? Has he taught them one or two kinds of introductory immortal guidance techniques?"

Hua Qiao nodded and said, "Some are, but the effect is not good. Perhaps the only one who has something to do with the Taoist official is that horse is heavy."

After all, it is not so easy to be a Taoist official. If you don’t have the roots of practicing Taoism, you will get a “turbid” Taoist certificate by relying on the imperial examination and obtaining a “turbid” Taoist certificate will be more difficult and have higher requirements for literary talent.

Jian Su sighed, "Since Master Hong Guan left office and did not take any of them away from the Spiritual Realm View, it is very telling."

Is he a Taoist official, his qualifications to practice, his roots and bones, and his Taoist temples in the world, and all the wealthy families have many secret methods of investigation.

Jian Su asked again: "What are these teenagers' personalities?"

Hua Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Lack."

"We are all very lazy. They can hide whenever they can, but none of them are diligent in daily affairs and Taoist temples."

"Miss, they are not reliable anymore. It's okay. I will be responsible for these daily cleaning affairs in the future and let them do it. I will be worried."

Chai Yu smiled and said, "After all, it is a land of fish and rice. There are still many scholarly families who have farmed and studied and passed down from family to family. There are some cultural fortunes, but they just disperse but do not gather."

Chai Yu said in his heart: "Hong Miao and Hou went to the Taoist temple, and they were quite experienced in doing things, especially after Tan Shu's Feng Shui inspection, I guess there was no big problem in Changshe County. I only talked about the Taoist temple, but it was still safe."

Su Cheng grinned and said, "I heard that Tan Shu entered the cave realm at the age of 30. He is far inferior to our lady and is not considered a genius."
To be continued...
