Yuan Duchu's first few refutations were reasonable, but he spoke quickly. As he spoke, he couldn't help but ask the last sentence - why did the great master act like this? In fact, this is not only a problem in his mind, but also a question from the abbot and the supervisory institute. It is precisely because of this question that the abbot never gave a conclusion, and it was the case that this is what happened today.

The person he wanted most was Feng Can, who had also been advised by the Feng family. But after asking this, Yuan Duchu himself woke up and thought it was not good. Sure enough, Luo Duguan no longer had to say anything. He calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Zhu Dushang never spoke, but his contemplative expression made people feel depressed.

The scripture hall suddenly became silent.

The prison felt embarrassed. Looking at the letter in his hand, he really wanted to open it immediately and see what the great refiner said in the letter. But he knew that he could not do this. The great refiner's private message, several times, how many people dared to open it at will? At least in Sichuan Province, people who dared to do this would definitely not be able to make up a palm!

As he thought about it, the word "private message" suddenly popped up in his heart, which made the prison irritable. Li's huge donation of 5,000 taels will be ignored, but what should I explain to Sen. Feng?

What I fear most when doing things is this inexplicable variable. The prison is extremely hesitant at this moment. If the great refiner has a clear explanation, of course it is best to choose Zhao Ran. No matter who asks, he has a legitimate excuse. But the question is, if the great refiner has no intention of this at all in this letter? Even this letter was not written by the great refiner, but sent by an unknown Taoist priest from the Jade Emperor Pavilion? Wouldn't that offend Feng Tongzhi for nothing? Or would he throw away five thousand taels of silver out of thin air?

Among the senior management of Wujiyuan, the slogan of the slogan is of course much more powerful than the "Three Capitals". If he insists on his own initiative and insists on promoting Feng Can, Feng Can can also be officially relocated, but the consequences of doing so are often unpredictable. If he commits offending the "Three Capitals", his life may not be easy. The most important thing is that if the great refiner really means to let Zhao Ran move, then he must be prepared to bear the anger of the great refiner.

Can he bear it?

Therefore, the most ideal result in the mind of the Supervisory Commission is that the "Three Capitals" stand with him. If the decision to transfer Feng Can or Li Liang is made by the senior officials of the institute, the weight on his shoulders will be much smaller.

The supervisory authority thought about it for a long time and always felt that it was a very unfair thing to change his previous decision for a private message that he was not sure about. Therefore, he decided to forcibly push the "Three Capitals" to stand with him.

"The letter from Yuhuang Pavilion is very abrupt. Senior Brother Yuan said it well. If the great master really wants to support Zhao Ran, he will write to us instead of private messages with Zhao Ran. Feng Can has been in the yard for three years, has a family background, is familiar with poetry and books, and is a close relative of Feng Tongzhi of the government office. Feng Tongzhi made a special trip to the yard to hand in the yard. This is what several senior brothers know... Li Liang is agile and well-behaved. He is the son of Li's family in Chengdu. Li promised that if this matter is done, he would offer five thousand taels of silver to help the yard's production... Zhuang Huai is simple and sincere, and can endure hardships... Cheng'an has excellent martial arts skills and a loyal character..."

After introducing the character and origin of the five candidates one by one, the culprit paused and looked around the "Three Capitals" and said, "I want to choose one between Feng Can and Li Liang to receive a certificate. What do you think?"

Yuan Duchu immediately agreed: "Yes, these two people are good at character... I want to think Feng Can is better." The hospital property donated by Li Liang has nothing to do with him, so he certainly has to favor Feng Can.

The ward looked at Luo Duguan, but heard Luo Duguan slowly say: "It's better to think carefully... Speaking of knowledge, Zhao Ran is still good. I heard that Senator Zhou specially invited Zhao Ran to visit this summer at Bijia Villa. The calligraphy he left was vigorous, the frame was rigorous, the charm was full of style... I also heard that this son had studied in the school for seven years before he was admitted to the hospital, and his assessment was excellent every year..."

The prison looked unhappy and turned to Zhu Du to speak. Zhu Du was silent for a moment and said, "Think about it..."

The prison was frustrated, his eyes were wandering on the face of the "Sandu" for a moment, and he stomped his feet and said, "I'll go find the abbot, and the abbot will decide!"

"Sandu" was having tea in the scripture hall, and the steward went straight to the backyard. After a while, the steward turned the steward hall and his face looked very ugly.

Yuan Duchu asked: "What does the abbot say?"

The supervisory authority sighed and said, "The abbot said, since he is the person who is the assessment, then the assessment is to ignore anything else."

Yuan Duchu was stunned: "Is it a real exam?"

The supervisory institute gritted his teeth and said, "Are you taking the exam!"

In the process of selecting the children who received the certificate, the most important level is assessment. The so-called assessment test is the Taoist scriptures. But in the past, this level was basically useless, and it was just a formality. Unexpectedly, the abbot made the decision to "real test".

"Three Capitals" thought to themselves and felt that this decision was very reasonable. Since the candidates were either supported by powerful figures or had a large sum of money to lead the way, they could not be perfunctory, so they should not offend anyone, and choose according to their assessment results steadily. If you want to blame someone who is not selected, you will blame your homework for not being solid. As for whether the Taoist priests in Huoju have time to do their homework and whether there are anyone in the Taoist priests in the Taoist sect, they don't have to worry about it - a bowl of water is equal, and everyone's conditions are the same.

The supervisory institute said to Zhu Du: "I'll bother my senior brother. Let's ask more questions. The original paper cannot be divided into higher grades."

...

Zhao Ran and the other five waited outside the Sutra Hall for a long time. It was unknown how long it took to see that Zhang Dian Zao and Jiang Gaogong of the Sutra Hall came out together to let them enter the school to prepare for the exam.

When he entered the hall, he was erected as the statue of Guan Yin, a true man in Wenshi, a purple lotus crown, a flying blue feather skirt, and a jade book and a gold inscription. Because he passed on the "Tao Moral Sutra" taught by Laojun was the sect of the Taoist sutra, he was worshipped. Under the statue of the Zhenren, there were dozens of cushions on both sides of the east and west sides, it was thought that it was where the Taoist children recited the sutras.

At this moment, the prison and the "Three Capitals" were all sitting on the cushion, and Zhang Dianzao and Jiang Gaogong stood beside him. He heard the prison talk about the Taoist selection and recording of the Taoist sect to inherit the incense, and then let them sit down and start the exam.

Zhang Dianzao and Jiang Gaogong commanded a few Taoist boys to bring in a few tables and placed them in front of the five people. The tables were pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Zhao Ran took a breath, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, calmed down his mind, and then opened the roll of paper.

The types of questions are roughly the same, nothing more than verbal writing of scriptures. Zhao Ran did not answer for now, and read them carefully from beginning to end.

The first question gives the beginning, "The Tao is used in a hurry, or it may not be full", leaving a blank space behind, which is the question answerer who wants to answer the question dictates the content of this chapter. Zhao Ran had already learned from Jiang Gaogong that the answers in previous years were just that. They were basically based on the original text of the "My Moral Sutra" and did not go further. After all, the content of the Taoist Sutra of Huogong Jushi seems to be a bit strict, not to mention that this kind of exam is just a formality.

But now there is a difference. The word "Explanation" is attached to the blank space. This is the answerer who wants to comment on the verbal scriptures written in this chapter. There are many versions of the commentary of the "Mysterious Verses", and even everyone has their own understanding. So which one is used as the standard answer? - Of course, it is "Lao Tzu's Thoughts on the Notes". Therefore, this time the exam is equivalent to adding the scriptures "Lao Tzu's Thoughts on the Notes", which is much more difficult than before.

Let’s look at the second question, “The God of Valley is immortal, it is called the mysterious female”. This is the beginning sentence of Chapter 6 of the scripture, and the comments are also required later.

Zhao Ran has been seeing the tenth question, all of which are like this. Looking at the last question, it is a short essay about the explanation of meaning, requiring the explanation of the saying "The virtual element produces nature, and nature produces Tao. The Tao is the elementary form and body, and then the innate line is the innate line." This sentence comes from "Laozi's Western Sutra", which talks about the root of Tao and the relationship between Tao and shape.

The Huogong lay Buddhists rarely have time to read the scriptures, but very few can read the "True Sutra" throughout and understand it by themselves. What's more, based on this, I studied "Laozi Xiang'er Notes" and "Laozi Xisheng Sutra"? That is the exclusive homework of Taoists who recite scriptures!
Chapter completed!
