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 his mind comes to it.

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 the Taoist emperor of a certain dynasty.

This merit hall is also aimed at the human race, but it is worshiped through the Taoist land.

The statues inside are also some special beings. They are all about cultivating the people, inventing medicine, making calendars and time sharing, making utensils to establish authority, weaving linen into cloth, building houses, initiating trade, educating the 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 has great status and reputation.

Therefore, in some 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 Daomen represent Ziwei Dou Shu, 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 lobby, 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 something.

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?

People say no?

It will cost a lot of money to really build these two buildings.

At this time, the old layman also said: "Taoist priest, 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!" Xie Chong heard this and took out a document in a hurry, 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.

Already."

"..." 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, and 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, enlightened principles and all methods can be achieved', 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 saying that, Guo Lin left directly.

For people with naming difficulties, this kind of painful thing should not be done.

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 monastery 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.

"Let's go then, 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, so the Taoist temple could only temporarily ask 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 very crowded 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 Ziyunting in the countryside left in Youcheng, are they not even open?

Fortunately, there are two telephones on the door that can be dialed, one is the internal number of Youcheng Dao Association, and the other is the telephone number of the president of Youcheng Dao 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 a confused Guo Lin.

What's going on?

The association's telephone number is out of service.

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 is the situation with the Youcheng Taoist Association?

Guo Lin sighed silently, not knowing how to deal with it, so he simply called Chen Li and asked the other party to help him handle the procedures.

When Youcheng implements its tourism development strategy, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are also the focus, and the other parties must have connections with the Buddhist and Taoist Associations.

Moreover, the official side has more solutions than him, and it will be less troublesome than him to contact 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 household registration of the old layman.

"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, you need to record it in the local Taoist Association, but now there is no one in the Youcheng Taoist Association, 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?
