Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 154 Taoist Sects

The last of the three capitals is the chef, who is also the abbot's person. He is responsible for managing various dispatches in the kitchen, and provides three meals for tens of thousands of Taoists, which is very rich.

When Taoist Master Duchu came to the altar, everyone couldn't help but point and point. There are very few Taoist priests as fat as Duchu in the Taoist sect.

"Pindao suspects that the chef not only opened a small stove for himself, but also broke the precept of eating meat."

"Isn't my Taoist sect taboo against meat and wine?"

"Fellow Taoist, are you not of my Quanzhen lineage?"

"Pindao Nanzong Qingxiu Sect."

"When did the Qing Xiu Sect stop eating meat and wine? Is there still a remnant of the Shuang Xiu Sect?"

"This...may still exist. I only know that Master Lu privately followed our dual cultivation lineage of the Southern Sect and founded the Eastern Sect, advocating the dual cultivation of life and life and the dual cultivation of yin and yang."

Since the two sects in the north and south returned to Quanzhen in the Yuan Dynasty, the northern sect Longmen and the southern sect Qingxiu have become the only two enduring sects in Quanzhen, and the other sects have hardly been inherited.

Zhongzong had no successor, Dongzong was in the ascendant, and the Qing Xiu sect was in the south. That was Zhengyi's basic position, and it was a little behind the development of Longmen sect.

When Zhang Jiebin saw this, he couldn't help but said: "This chef's figure cannot even be saved by Taoist exercises. He is either a mediocre person or a worm."

Guo Jingzhong said: "I have the most stringent precepts in Quanzhen. I must expel this thief. I regret that he is not a permanent resident and does not have the right to vote."

"Fellow Taoist, please don't be angry. I will do this for you," a Taoist said after hearing this.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

…

Because of the previous precedent of deposing the palace master, the Taoists no longer feared the abbot's power and dared to express their dissatisfaction.

Although monks are willing to eat light soup and have little water, and they pursue longevity, fasting is also a compulsory course.

But that can only be done by Taoist masters. They are just Taoist priests who have just started, and there are many teenagers among them. It is the time when they are growing taller, and their homework is heavy. Many of them are hungry and howling in the middle of the night.

It turns out that the imperial court stipulates that no one should leave home after the age of 16, so Buddhist and Taoist disciples can only start at an early age. Most of them are homeless children on the streets. The boys are transformed into monks and Taoists, and the girls are transformed into nuns and Taoists.

These are all lucky ones, but the worse ones are in a desperate situation, where men steal and women prostitute, harvest and mutilate their children, and it is a horrific situation.

With the response from all the Taoists, Qian Xuzi said: "Be patient, let's start casting lots now."

The result was obvious, almost all of them voted for the lottery.

The chef's face turned pale and he shouted: "I am not convinced. I have tens of thousands of mouths asking me for food. How can there be so much vegetarian food? It would be good if you can stutter. If you have the ability, don't come to our Shifang Jungle to ask for food."

Go back to the temple of your descendants."

Du Chu's words, which were hoarse at the top of his voice, temporarily suppressed the discussion in the audience. It also touched everyone's heart. If the incense and money in their own temple could not support so many people, why would they go to the jungles in all directions?

As long as they have some skills, it will not make the temple less incense. Whether it is doing things, observing Feng Shui, or treating diseases, they are all lacking.

They come here, firstly, to learn their skills, and secondly, for a bite to eat.

When the abbot heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that the cooking was done and there would be no room for maneuver.

Sure enough, Bai Yuzhan was the first to stand up and reprimanded: "What a courageous dog, how dare you question it, Master Patriarch?"

"Yes, the Ten Directions Jungle is the foundation of my Quanzhen religion. To question us is to question the founder."

"Drive away this traitor who deceives our master and destroys our ancestors."

"The public election is over, get out now."

With someone taking the lead, everyone's emotions exploded. The scene was very lively and full of verbal and written criticism. One by one, every incident was exposed in front of everyone.

Du Chu didn't expect that he would be so reviled that he could no longer speak after saying one word.

Finally, amid the abbot's dismissal, he walked down from the altar in despair.

When the abbot was about to go down, Qian Xuzi stopped him: "Abbott, please stay. The eight deacons will be close to you, and it will be troublesome to get up and down. Just stay here and watch together! All the eight deacons will come up together and evaluate it together."

After finishing speaking, Qian Xuzi said to everyone: "Change the rules. For these eight fellow Taoists, you can only vote for one with the highest number and one with the lowest number. The three with the most number of lower numbers will be removed from office."

Most of the eight deacons became nervous when they heard it. The two thousand resident Taoist priests only felt it was novel. They were also curious about who the most popular and least popular deacons were.

The Taoist Priest smiled for the first time. He didn't care about power. He usually excepted

The Taoist priest looks pale. He is the leader of the big kitchen, the second person after the chef. The chef has been criticized by thousands of people, but does he still have any good fruits to eat?

Taoist priest Yingbin was somewhat confident. In the afternoon, he approved many applications for Taoist priests and made a big deal for the others. He asked them to go back and mobilize their sect friends, just to get more support.

But now that he is doing this, Taoist priest Yingbin is feeling very cold.

The deacons in the living room, patrol house, warehouse, accounting room, Yunshui hall, number room, etc. also have different expressions.

No matter what they thought, more than 2,000 resident Taoist priests began to vote for them in an orderly manner.

Under the cheers of the Taoist priests, everyone in the altar became even more nervous.

The eight deacons looked at the increased numbers in front of them and had mixed feelings in their hearts. The one with the few numbers just laughed at himself, it was good or bad, at least his position was stable.

But those who signed more were heartbroken.

After all the Taoists voted, Bai Yuzhan and others continued counting, and then informed Qian Xuzi of the results.

Qian Xuzi said with a smile: "It's getting late, and the Taoist will not show off. The three people who have signed the most are: Yunshuitang, Xunliao, and Kutou. I hope you will continue to work hard, lead by example, and be more

Good service to everyone.”

The Taoist Master of Yunshuitang replied: "I miss you Taoist fellow so much:"

The Taoist priest of Xunliao said excitedly: "Thank you fellow Taoists for your support."

Taoist priest: "Thank you fellow Taoists for your support. The Pindao Association will continue to manage the warehouse well."

Qian Xuzi paused and waited for them all to finish speaking, then continued: "The three people who have signed the most votes are the living room, accounting room, and number room. Now let's start recommending talents."

The three people from the living room, accounting room, and living room staggered down to the altar, but everyone's eyes did not stop on them. He was in the middle of the next election.

The guest hall recommended a member of the Zhendao religion, which was one of the three original sects in the north, alongside the Quanzhen sect, and later declined and merged into the Quanzhen sect.

The accountant recommended a Taoist priest from Louguan Taoism. Louguan Taoism was formed in the Northern Wei Dynasty and flourished during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was once the royal monastery of the Tang Dynasty.

Yin Xi, Taoist Master of Lou Guan, was the founder. He often used knotted grass as a tower to watch the stars and fortunes, and he was most proficient in arithmetic. It was also incorporated into Quanzhen in the Yuan Dynasty.

Room No. 1 recommended Bai Yuzhan, which surprised him. He had planned to return to Qizhou with Qian Xuzi tomorrow, and Qizhou also had the Taoist lay force Jingtian Dao that he had established, but he had not handed over yet.

The person who proposed Bai Yuzhan was naturally someone from the prison. This could be regarded as reciprocating a favor. Qian Xuzi uprooted the abbot's team and supported a large number of well-received permanent residents to take up important positions.

These will be his help in the future.

"Absolutely not. Pindao has been down the mountain for a long time, and he has long since ceased to live in Qingxu Mountain. This time he came here to place orders, so he must not break the rules."

"In addition, Pindao has established a lay gang in Qizhou to protect the interests of our Taoist sect. There must be no one in charge."

Bai Yuzhan quickly denied it and also talked about the creation of the Tao of Respecting Heaven.

Qian Xuzi heard this and said: "In that case, let's choose someone else!"

"Pindao recommends Guo Jingzhong as Taoist friend Guo."

Guo Jingzhong was stunned when he heard this. He was also placing orders and was not a permanent resident!
