Chapter 010 Sounds Familiar(2/2)
Qiu Guofu smiled: "As a vassal of the Shangguan family, I would be bragging if I said how powerful the master's family is, but you have to know that the master of the family is the leader of the Taihao Taoist Academy!"
The Taihao Dynasty was founded by the head of the Taihao Sect and is inseparable from the Taihao Sect. The way the Taihao Sect recruits disciples is naturally linked to the dynasty.
After all, Hong Changkong originally advocated the integration of spiritual sects into the secular world.
Unlike other sects in China, the Taihao Sect recruits new disciples and is assessed by officials sent by the imperial dynasty. Those who pass the exam first enter the Taoist Temple. This huge building complex located at the southern foot of Mount Taihao, next to the imperial palace, is equivalent to the Taihao Sect's
"Preparatory School".
Only those with excellent grades can climb Mount Tahoe and become true Tahoeites.
In a sense, passing the Taihao Taoist Academy is equivalent to the imperial examination in ancient times on earth. Students who passed the Jinshi level - even if they have no chance to enter the monastery to study, they can still become a minor official at worst.
Taihao Taoist Temple is extremely famous, and Gu Wuyou certainly knows that.
The existence of the Taoist Academy is even one of the factors that has kept Taoist priests of the Shenxu Sect throughout the generations. The foundation of spiritual practice is the "Tao" De Jing. If the Taihao Sect has established a "Taoist" academy, why do people not recognize "Taoist" priests?
But Gu Wuyou really didn't know what the position of "recruitment" was.
"What's the purpose of escorting?" Lu Xuan asked as he didn't understand.
Qiu Guofu looked like Yourong Yan: "Joining means guarding the gate and welcoming Taoist disciples. Yin means stopping the idle people and informing and guiding visitors."
Lu Xuan: "Sounds familiar. You usually sit in the pavilion at the door, right?"
Qiu Guofu: "Hey, how did you know? That's called room value."
Lu Xuan: "Always have a thermos cup in your hand, right? A big teapot?"
Qiu Guofu became more and more surprised: "Have you ever been to a Taoist temple?"
"No." Lu Xuan shook his head, "But I guess your habit of sitting behind the counter and napping when you have nothing to do is imitating him."
Qiu Guofu said to himself, Hey, this is amazing.
Gu Wuyou touched Lu Xuan: "Do you also have a receptionist there?"
"Well, almost." Lu Xuan said, "But it's not called the reception, it's called...the guard."
"good!"
Qiu Guofu slapped his hands suddenly, startling Gu Wuyou.
