My immortal cultivation game has come true

Taoism Research Institute.

At the door of the administrative office.

There are two rows of chairs here, and many young people in green robes are sitting on the chairs, looking towards the office.

Creak~

The door opens.

A young Taoist priest in a long robe walks out with a hint of frustration on his face.

"Brother Taoist, how is it?"

"Alas, assigned to be the master of a temple!"

Although he was assigned to be the master of a Taoist temple, the young Taoist priest did not have the slightest bit of happiness on his face.

Because this means that this Taoist temple must be in a corner, and it is possible that there is no one living within a radius of ten miles.

Hearing the words of this young Taoist priest,

the faces of the Taoist priests waiting for graduation assignments all showed solemnity.

This so-called 'master of the temple' not only has a deserted place to work, but also has a special allowance of only a few hundred yuan in income.

"Next, Xuanqing, come in and listen to the seal!"

Xuanqing stood up from the chair.

Entered the room.

The polished solid wood table has an incense burner on it, and a Tai Chi diagram hangs on the wall.

This is an office with a simple style.

Behind the table sits an old man with gray hair and reading glasses. Although he is old, he looks very energetic.

"My common name is Su Chen, my Taoist name is Xuanqing, and I am from Liucheng County, Qinglin City. My hometown is "Taoism Scriptures", "Taishang Dongxuan Lingbao Wuliangdu Ren Shangpin Miaojing", and "Taishang Ganying Pian". My average score is 92."

He said so many words in one breath.

The old Taoist picked up the thermos cup on the table and moistened his throat.

"The results are not bad, but now the famous mountains and grand views are full. Do you want to wait a little longer or take over as the master?"

The old Taoist's eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

"To reply to the senior, I plan to find a job as soon as possible!"

Xuanqing said calmly.

Hearing this.

The old Taoist couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face.

For most of the young Taoist priests who have graduated, who wouldn't want to stay in Mingshan Daguan, which is close to the city and has welfare benefits comparable to those of civil servants.

"With your grades, if there are vacancies in Mingshan Daguan, you will definitely be given priority. Have you thought it through?" The old Taoist priest asked again.

"I have thought it through!"

Xuanqing's expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.

"Ah~" The old Taoist priest sighed and took out a map from the drawer.

On this map, there are densely packed dots, and nearly half of the dots are circled with a red pen.

These circled dots represent the currently vacant Taoist temples.

Speaking of which.

Nowadays, Taoism is declining, and the population distribution is extremely uneven. Mingshan Daguan is crowded and can't be entered, and Taoist temples in corners are ignored.

As a lonely person, Xuanqing doesn't care about welfare benefits. It's enough to have a place to stay. This mentality is in line with the teachings of Taoism.

Take the map.

Xuan Qing did not choose, just randomly pointed to a circle on the map.

"Senior, I'll choose this place."

"Changling Mountains, Qingping Mountain, Qingping Temple" The old Taoist adjusted his reading glasses, looking a little surprised, "There is a Qing in your Taoist name, and this Taoist temple also has Qing, it's a good match!"

"Okay, the dean will personally confer the ordination in the afternoon, remember to go early!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Xuan Qing bowed slightly, pinched the Yin-Yang fish hand seal with both hands, bowed slightly and saluted.

Time came to the afternoon.

There were only a few scattered people at the ordination venue.

Obviously, most of the graduated Taoists chose to change careers or wait for vacancies, and were unwilling to take up positions in remote places where no one was around.

"After receiving the ordination certificate, you will become the master of the temple. Your words and deeds represent the Taoist sect. I hope you will follow the law and morality. Don't do it."

The dean who spoke was also an old Taoist with white hair and beard, but the clothes he wore were purple, representing the position of Taoist Tianshi.

The opening remarks were finished.

Let's get to the point and start the ordination certificate.

The ceremony was not very complicated. First, you kneel down to worship the Three Pure Ones, then burn incense and recite the manifesto.

Finally.

The dean of Tianshi personally distributed the instruments for ordination to everyone.

Among them are: ordination tablets, Taoist seals, Dharma seals, master treasures, court tablets, emperor's orders, ghost-beating sticks, peach wood swords, etc.

In addition, everyone has four sets of clothes, two sets of green robes and two sets of yellow robes. The former are worn in normal times, and the latter yellow robes are used when opening the altar.

The development of Taoism to the present, various instruments, rituals, etc., cannot be incomplete, and all have uses.

Finally.

Xuanqing also received his share.

The most noteworthy and important instrument among them is the ‘Lian Pai’

This is a rectangular jade tablet.

The front of it is engraved with ‘Taiji Palace Selected Jinshi Wu Lei Yuan Zuo Judge and Associate Thunder and Lightning Du Si Shi’

The back is engraved with the two characters ‘Xuanqing’.

The former represents the Taoist official who was granted the Lian Pai, and the latter represents the Taoist name.

It is worth mentioning that.

Taoist officials are divided from low to high, from the ninth rank, the ninth rank, the eighth rank, the eighth rank and so on.

All the way to the first rank ‘Taiji Zuo Xianweng Jiutian Jinque Shizhong Shenxiao Yushu Interview Envoy and Judge Shenxiao Yufu Thunder and Lightning Various Departments’

Generally speaking, the first-rank Lian Pai starts with the ninth rank ‘Wu Lei Yuan Right Judge’.

And because Xuanqing was directly appointed as the master of the temple, he was granted the ninth rank ‘Left Judge’.

Although he is only the second-to-last official, if he were in a myth, ordinary mountain gods and land gods would bow respectfully and call him "Meet Taoist Xuanqing"

Three days later.

Changling Mountains, Qingping Mountain Top.

It took more than an hour to climb the mountain.

What came into view was a gate built with blue bricks and a wall covered with moss.

"No wonder the academy gave the position of the temple master, and no one is willing to take office in such a remote Taoist temple!"

Xuanqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought secretly in his heart.

Push open the door.

Creak~

A sound of an old wooden door in the countryside sounded.

After entering the Taoist temple, what came into view was a small courtyard with a ground of sand and gravel mixed with soil and overgrown with weeds.

Obviously, this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time.

"It seems that I have to be busy!"

Xuanqing shook his head.

He will live here for a long time in the future, so he will look around in the Taoist temple to familiarize himself with the site.

After searching for a while.

He found that although the Taoist temple was small, it had all kinds of functional rooms.

"I didn't expect it to be a temple for descendants!"

Xuanqing sighed.

There are two types of so-called Taoist temples, one is a jungle temple, and the other is a temple for descendants.

The former is similar to a public Taoist temple, while the latter is passed down from generation to generation between masters and apprentices, and the temple property can be inherited.

Of course.

Now all the land is state-owned, and the inheritance theory has disappeared.

What's more surprising is that.

Next to the well in the backyard, a manual pressure-type water pump can still be used.
