Chapter 150: The Temple Priest's Appointment and the Hub of the Human Dynasty
The speed of the Taoist priest was somewhat beyond expectations.

In just a few days, they have completed the selection of temple priests.

To know.

Wangshu hasn’t even distributed the base stations and drones yet, and they are still piled up in the Huangquan base!
In front of the entrance square of the Huangquan Base, the sound of the production line of the Lime Hell can be heard in the distance.

"Buzzing..."

Jiang Chao picked up a small blackbird-shaped bionic drone and threw it out. He then saw the drone hovering in the sky at a very fast speed. Its wings were vibrating so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.

Although some resources have become much more abundant recently, due to the depletion and difficulty in collecting some key core materials, the size of this drone has begun to shrink and it has become the size of a sparrow.

However, Jiang Chao felt it was more suitable.

The bigger the body, the bigger the target, and it is not suitable to be used as a community temple drone. On the contrary, the size of a sparrow is just right.

It is also more flexible and can conduct reconnaissance in places that previous drones could not reach.

This "sparrow" doesn't look much like a sparrow.

"So, in the end, Yun Zhen Dao still managed to gather fifty-four Taoists with ordination certificates?"

"Have they set out yet? When will they arrive?"

Wangshu: "Almost. I will be leaving for the new post in the next two days."

Wangshu was in a good mood. After these temple priests took office, her map would no longer be missing pieces.

Jiang Chao: "How did they get together? I remember Yun Zhendao saying that at the beginning, not to mention 54 Taoists with certificates of ordination, there might not even be 54 of them!"

"They wouldn't just pick some random people, exploit a loophole, issue them a fifty-four-point certificate, and then send them out like that, right?"

Wangshu: “They don’t dare.”

Jiang Chao: "Yes, they don't have the courage yet."

Although these three Taoists each have different faults and shortcomings, they always do things honestly and never fool around.

Afterwards, Wangshu told Jiang Chaoyun how the Taoists of the True Dao gathered fifty-four temple priests.

Yun Zhendao relied on living near the sacred peak and coming into contact with the divine wizard by chance. Due to a series of coincidental events, he eventually became successful.

However, there is more than just Yunzhendao Taoist temple and Taoist heritage around here.

Not to mention the entire Yinzhou, even in Xihe and Jingu counties, there are many other Taoist sects of varying sizes.

Among them, Yun Zhendao is not considered a big or high-ranking sect at all.

Moreover, some of these lineages have intricate ties with Yunzhen Dao. For example, their ancestors had some connection. After all, they are from the same Taoist sect, so it is normal for them to have some relationship with each other.

After seeing Yun Zhendao's gradual rise, naturally many of the various Taoist lineages came over to join in.

Especially, I heard that Yun Zhendao has a book called "Yun Zhen Yin Yang Dao Fasting and Prayer Divine Canon".

After learning.

You can welcome gods and send them off, and you can borrow magic from heaven.

How can I bear this?

Therefore, there are still many disciples sent by various sects in Ziyun Peak, who are forced to stay there under the pretext of learning Taoism, staying overnight, practicing, etc.

Some don't even provide accommodation, and they just set up a thatched hut halfway up the mountain or at the foot of the mountain and insist on staying.

These people did nothing all day long but look at the mountain, write down what they saw with a pen, and then send it back.

The old Taoist Yin-Yang didn't expect that the skills he learned secretly were also mastered by other Taoist lineages.

Since they were all from the same Taoist sect and had a close relationship with each other, it was naturally not easy for Yin Yang, Ao and He Taoists to drive them away, so they kept those people.

But this time it's different.

Since Yun Zhendao could not afford so many temple priests to guard the four directions, it had to give up a large number of places.

But at the same time, Yun Zhendao did not give out so many places in vain.

The Taoist sects in Yin and Jin states, which were originally extremely scattered, were integrated with this opportunity and turned into an alliance called the Earth Master Sect, which had dozens or even hundreds of magical lineages of all sizes.

The original meaning of "Zong" is the place for worshiping ancestors, that is, the ancestral temple. Those who participate in ancestor worship are usually from the same family, so it is extended to mean the family or faction with the same ancestor. And when used here, it also means that these lineages are of the same clan and origin.

The meaning of this name is that they are responsible for offering sacrifices to the landowners of the three mountains and five peaks and all directions.

Among them, the Yunzhen Dao, to which the three Taoists Yin Yang, Ao and He belonged, became the main lineage of this alliance.

Jiang Chao: "Where's the list?"

Although the quota was given to Yun Zhendao to arrange it on his own, the Taoist priests of Yun Zhendao only have the right to report the quota to the divine witch. All the names must eventually be reviewed by Wangshu before being registered in the system.

At this point, the name on the list can be considered a true temple priest.

Jiang Chao looked at the list and the detailed information on it, which included the sects these Taoists came from and their past experiences.

It seems that Wangshu is still very reliable, so I collected them all.

Wangshu: "It won't be long before we can broadcast weather forecasts for sixty counties in two states."

When he said this, Jiang Chao heard the prelude of a familiar melody.

The radio started playing music again.

Jiang Chao's attention was originally on the list, and he was still thinking about whether he should eliminate some people, but he suddenly stopped after hearing what Wangshu said.

Jiang Chao: "I think weather forecasts should also keep up with the times."

The Paper Fairy was very surprised. When did Yun Zhongjun become so concerned about her weather forecasting career? Was he moved by her enthusiasm?

Wangshu also turned down the volume of the music and asked seriously, "How do we keep up with the times?"

Jiang Chao: "The county is too small, and the weather conditions in most areas are exactly the same, which causes the weather forecasts in many areas to sound like a constant overlap of the same astronomical conditions."

"It's unnecessary to waste electricity and resources to report weather conditions in all counties. I think it will be enough to report weather conditions in two states in the future."

Jiang Chao thinks it would be great if it could be simplified further by deleting the opening and ending credits.

If it could be simplified further.

E.g.

Report a sunny day in Jinzhou and rainy day in Yinzhou.

Jiang Chao thought that was even better.

A few more days passed.

The temple priests from the community temples in each county are about to set off.

This time, the community temple does not need to be built by heavenly craftsmen. It only needs the dragon and the gods to send the statues over and install them.

This was because the Taoist sects in various counties and prefectures had already impatiently begun to vacate their houses and build their community temples, for fear that they would be snatched away.

Moreover, many community temples already exist and do not need to be built. They can just be repaired and expanded.

So after arranging the temple priests, it can basically be started. Once the base stations and drones are in place, the maps and signal coverage of the two states will be basically completed.

Wangshu lifted the lower frame of the screen and poked his head out.

"Would you like to see the scene of the temple keeper taking office?"

In a sense, these temple priests are employees of Jiang Chao and Wangshu.

Or it can be described by the situation of that era, like a county magistrate who manages the local area under the emperor.

The "county magistrate" under his command took office. Although Yun Zhongjun, as the supreme leader, was too lazy to go and see him off, it was his duty to watch him go.

Jiang Chao thought about it and finally put down the game controller in his hand.

"Then send the picture over!"

Wangshu: "Okay, I'll transfer you right away."

The highest direct leader of Taoism, Yun Zhongjun, who soars in the sky and steps on the blue sky, cast his gaze.
-
In front of the Xihe County community temple.

Taoists from various Taoist lineages were arranged in several rows and stood under a Taoist altar.

The Taoists, wearing dark Taoist robes and headdresses, looked respectfully at the metal statue sitting in the hall. That was the golden statue created by the wizard himself using the magic of turning stone into gold.

The Taoists of various sects and the Taoist children they brought with them who had hurried over to watch the ceremony gathered densely around. Together with the common people who came to join in the fun, the temple seemed to be packed with people.

As a community temple.

There are also differences between each other.

Xihe County is a dilapidated place in the mortal world. Most people would not know its name, and the county magistrate is an official as insignificant as a sesame seed, at least in the eyes of people in Lucheng and Kyoto.

However, in the system of mountain, river and earth gods, the situation is reversed. The community temple of Xihe County is like the capital in this system, and the earth god worshipped in the community temple is similar to the mayor of Beijing.

Therefore, it is only natural that temple priests from community temples all over the country who are about to take office gather here to perform ceremonies before taking office.

Moreover, the system registration and login procedures that could be completed in ordinary community temples in the past were now concentrated in the Xihe County community temple.

in the crowd.

Many new temple priests burst into tears when they recalled the time when they first came here.

"The Yun Zhen Dao has become prosperous and has even formed a bond with the ancient True Immortal. This time I am sending you there to learn the secret techniques of the Yun Zhen Dao, the 'Yun Zhen Yin Yang Dao Fasting and Offering Divine Canon'."

"If I don't teach you, won't you learn secretly?" "Watch carefully after you go there, and write down anything useful. Write down everything you hear, too. Don't miss anything."

"Can they still kill you? We are all from the Taoist sect. The founder of Yunzhen Dao was with us..."

"Well, I heard that the old Yin-Yang Taoist is a little crazy, and he likes to persuade people to take the poison pills he made. He has a weird personality, so it's a bit risky to go there."

“If you are really dead, it doesn’t matter. I and the major sects will carry your body and block the door of Yun Zhen Dao. We will loudly rebuke them and make the old Taoist hand over the Yun Zhen Yin Yang Dao Fasting and Praying Divine Canon. If you learn the secret of the true law, I will hang your portrait on the wall in the back and will never forget you.”

"You said that I had this plan from the beginning. Nonsense. How could I do this? You are my direct disciple, and I am waiting for you to inherit my lineage in the future. I am sending you there this time to add some burden to you. Otherwise, how can you bear the heavy burden of my lineage in the future?"

In this way, this group of people set off on their journey in a high-spirited and vigorous manner.

When they set off, the Taoist leaders of various sects prepared wine to see them off.

It just tastes terrible when I drink it.

It always feels like a beheading wine.

At this moment, no one thought that the "spies" who were sent out to Yunzhen Dao on Ziyun Peak.

Well, a group of "spies", no, they should be considered seekers!

Now he has transformed himself into a temple priest guarding a place.

Although they were not able to secretly learn Yun Zhendao's profound canon "Yun Zhen Yin Yang Great Dao Fasting and Prayer Divine Canon", they did learn magic spells in one leap and could communicate with ghosts and gods directly without any divine canon.

In front of the altar, all the Taoists sighed.

"I finally made it through."

I guess the Taoists who sent them here in the first place are probably jumping with envy right now!
The time has come.

The three Taoists, Yin Yang, Ao and He, appeared wearing three sets of Taoist robes that were obviously different from those of ordinary Taoists.

The three of them walked side by side, and their imposing manner directly shocked all the Taoists, causing them to bow their heads.

I don't know when, but the Taoist who was squatting at the gate of the yamen and was scared away by Liu Hu's scolding, and who was twitching like a sick cat under the cloud wall of the sacred peak, has gone from being a person who cannot be seen in public to a real person who others cannot look directly at.

Finally, the three of them ascended the altar.

"Open the altar, perform rituals, and welcome the gods."

"When you hear the name of the dharma, go forward and worship the god. Do not look left or right, do not..."

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest did not say anything, while the Ao Taoist priest shouted at the people below with full energy, explaining the rules to be followed in the upcoming ceremony and the matters that needed to be paid attention to.

As the music sounded, Taoists chanted scriptures and incantations to welcome the gods. The tall incense sticks in front of the community temple burned and turned into billowing green smoke. The rich fragrance intensified the atmosphere of the ceremony.

One by one, the Taoists stepped forward cautiously according to the regulations and bowed down before the metal statue of the Earth God Wangshan Gong, feeling the gaze of the god, and in excitement and fear, they registered in the Earth God system.

The whole process lasted for a long time, and many people's clothes were soaked by the sun, but they still insisted on completing the ceremony and got their own positions as temple priests.

At last.

All the temple priests gathered under the altar, and the old Yin-Yang Taoist priest took out his treasured secret book and distributed it to the temple priests below.

It is the first chapter in the "Yunzhen Yin-Yang Great Dao Fasting and Offering Divine Scripture".

Everyone was overjoyed. Not only did they become temple priests, but they also learned the true secret of the Dharma and the profound classics of the great Dao.

Taoists: "Thank you, Master Yin Yang."

The old Yin-Yang Taoist said: "This book is the result of my hard work. You guys go down and practice well. Don't let me down."

Taoists: "We must work hard to practice and live up to the expectations of the Immortal."

The Yin-Yang Taoist was very satisfied, but as for whether those people could learn it or not, and whether it would be useful after they learned it, he could not guarantee it.

If you can’t learn it, it must be because you don’t have the wisdom, and it has nothing to do with my Great Dao Xuan Jing.

It’s useless. It’s because your merits and virtues are not great, your moral conduct is shallow, and therefore you are despised by gods and ghosts.

After the Yin-Yang Taoist finished reading the "Yun Zhen Yin-Yang Dao Fasting and Offering Divine Scripture", he stopped talking and began to meditate calmly.

The weather was so hot, but the old Taoist didn't even sweat a drop, which amazed all the Taoists. They thought that the old Taoist must have achieved some success in his cultivation.

Then Master Ao began to speak: "When you go to various counties to serve as temple priests, in addition to practicing well, you must also protect the people in your area and spread the power of our Taoism and the prestige of Yunzhongjun."

"Recently, some Buddhist disciples..."

In an instant, the Taoists' eyes changed slightly, and people around could be heard talking about each other.

Finally, Taoist He also talked about another story.

"In Lucheng, there is a master from the Tiangong clan named Master Jia. He has great merits and virtues and will be deified after his death. You should go to various places to pray for temples. At that time, you should always remember to cultivate good deeds and accumulate virtues. Only then can you achieve something in the future."

This is no longer a hint, but a blatant statement.

If you practice well, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you may become a ghost or god in the future, sitting high on the altar and receiving incense and offerings.

The Taoists under the altar did not say anything, but their faces changed one by one. There was a commotion around them, and many people knew about this matter. Now they talked about what they knew.

The three Taoists were first taught the method of cultivation by the old Yin-Yang Taoist, and then the two Taoists Ao and He gave examples one by one.

First, he used negative examples and the fact that Buddhism was the biggest threat to Taoism to make all Taoists feel a sense of crisis.

Then he gave a positive example, in which the Tiangong clan became ghosts and gods, which made the Taoists' eyes red with anger and they wished they could take their place.

At last.

The three Taoists Yin Yang, Ao and He had just seen off the temple priests and even accompanied them all the way to the main road before stopping.

Under the screen.

Jiang Chao watched the grand and enthusiastic ceremony on the Taoist side.

Seeing the temple priests reluctantly bidding farewell when they left, everyone was very excited and said that they would never forget this day and would practice Taoism and do good deeds to become gods.

All Taoists have their own ambitions and want to accomplish something big to show the gods in heaven.

The lively atmosphere made the lazy Yun Zhongjun feel pressured, and he was too embarrassed to pick up the game controller.

“Very spirited!”

Wangshu came out again at this time and said that Prince Wen Ji of Lucheng had also made arrangements in the ancestral temple.

Wangshu: "Do you want to go see the Prince of Lucheng?"

Jiang Chao: "Take a look too."

Jiang Chao looked at Wen Ji's progress again. Wen Ji was even faster than the Taoist.

After all, when the three Taoists sent temple priests, they were others who served as temple priests, but Wen Ji was preparing for himself and for his own clan, which was completely different.

In just two or three days, Wen Ji had already prepared everything.

Now we are just waiting for the arrival of the Ghost Festival to start creating a spiritual realm of incense and fire to communicate between the world of the living and the underworld.
-
The screen ends.

It has to be said that the Taoist disciples who were making a big fuss and were in high spirits, as well as the energetic and old Prince Wen Ji, made Jiang Chao feel some pressure.

"I didn't expect that before we knew it, there would be so many people following us."

Wangshu: "There will be more and more in the future. After all, our goal is to broadcast global weather forecasts!"

Jiang Chao: "When did this become our goal!"

Finally, Jiang Chao took stock of the current situation.

"It seems that our underworld system, earth shrine system, and merit system need to be further refined and improved."

"The Daoists manage community temples and belong to the system of earth gods. Their main responsibilities are to maintain and oversee the operation of the base stations, while also using the ability to warn of meteorological disasters and predict the weather."

"Only with their presence can our influence and control cover all regions and complete a series of subsequent construction plans."

"Buddhism is responsible for guiding the souls of the dead. Their main responsibility is to send people to the underworld and hell, and to improve the entire underworld system."

"Wen Ji's side..."

Jiang Chao hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"They are not considered part of our system, but part of the human dynasty."

"But whether it is the Earth God system or the Netherworld system, they are inseparable from the connection with the human dynasty."

"So this incense and fire spiritual realm is a very important beginning and an important link. Perhaps in the future, it can become the hub connecting the two systems and the human dynasty."

It has come to this point, and the human dynasty is an unavoidable link.

Jiang Chao cannot conduct politics with those "insects" as a mortal, so he can only come in the form of Yun Zhongjun.

Jiang Chao began to assign tasks: "Design a separate base station for them, but the function must be different from that of the base station of the Earth God."

"This special base station can be passed down forever. Although its specific function and form are still uncertain, it may be able to serve as a proof of connection between a human dynasty and our system in the future."

Wangshu: "What kind do you want?"

Jiang Chao: "First, the base station must have the ability to transmit and receive signals. This is basic."

"Secondly, it must be able to roughly display the merit value and storage status in the incense spirit realm."

"Third, it has projection function and..."
