After passing through the Zihua Stream, Shuanglong Spring, Fuyantai and Jicui Ridge mentioned by Cai Jinyang, we finally arrived at the core of the Chonghua Sect - Shanmen, also known as Chongtianmen.

An archway with an unknown history was variegated, and no material could be seen. However, Chen Huaisheng could feel the strong spiritual energy coming to his face, and the base of the archway extended to the ground. Chen Huaisheng estimated that this should be a large-scale temple.

The center of the array is located.

After passing the archway, there is a group of mountain cols that look like a series of pot bottoms. The rich spiritual energy is slowly floating. No wonder the Chonghua Sect chose these as the mountain gate.

From a purely defensive point of view, this place is not suitable, because once the enemy attacks and occupies the surrounding commanding heights, they will be condescending and encircle and annihilate.

However, this is not what Chen Huaisheng is concerned about now. The Chonghua Sect’s choice naturally has its reasons and reliance.

This rich aura alone is worth a heavy bet.

On the way, Chen Huaisheng was introduced by Cai Jinyang. In addition to the head of the sect, there are nine major foundations, including five deacons and four elders.

The deacons are probably responsible for the specific management of the general affairs of the sect, while the four elders are mainly responsible for the important tasks of guarding the sect and defense of the mountain gate, and do not undertake other general affairs.

There are also two guest ministers who are still in the inspection period, but they have been in the sect for six and eight years respectively. They can be regarded as having basically passed the inspection. They only need to wait for the ten-year inspection period to pass before they can officially enter.

Wu Tianen is one of the five deacons, and he is mainly responsible for law enforcement.

The five major deacons are law enforcement, transfer of merit, internal affairs, knowledge of guests, and director of the court.

Needless to say, law enforcement is mainly about the daily standard management of the disciples, including their safety.

The purpose of teaching Qigong is mainly to guide disciples in practice and experience.

Internal affairs include the sect's finances, spiritual planting, domestication, mining, alchemy, tool making, and material purchasing.

Zhike is the reception and liaison with internal and external parties, including intelligence spying.

The director actually manages the daily affairs under the director, similar to the assistant to the director or deputy director.

Although the sparrow is small, it has a strong liver and gallbladder, not to mention that the Chonghua sect is by no means a sparrow. It has nearly two hundred formal disciples, and its base is in the four counties of Langling Prefecture, and it is even developing into Huozhou and Yiyang.

When an ordinary disciple starts, it doesn't need to be so complicated. He first goes to the deacon who is passing on the gong, but in the end, only a disciple who is assisting the deacon in handling affairs comes out to see him.

Fortunately, Cai Zhengyang was quite familiar with the situation and explained everything clearly in a few seconds.

The next step is to arrange the post-entry matters.

Chuan Gong Yuan is divided into three halls: inner, inner and outer.

The inner hall is the core, and the disciples are basically high-level disciples of Qi refining. They basically arrange matters on their own. Even the immortal masters of the Chuan Gong Academy can hardly give them much guidance.

The disciples in the middle hall are the backbone. The students from the third level of Qi refining to the sixth level of Qi refining are all in this hall, which is also the focus of the guidance of the training institute.

The disciples in the outer hall are divided into three houses.

Bingshe is for those who have not yet entered Taoism. For example, if Chen Huaisheng has not yet entered Taoism, he must enter Bingshe first.

Yishe is someone who has not yet refined their Qi after entering Taoism. Chen Huaisheng, for example, now falls into this category.

Jiashe is for the first level and second level of Qi refining. Because entering the third level of Qi refining means hitting the middle stage of Qi refining, all the third level Qi refining people directly enter the central hall to specifically guide the breakthrough and cross-level.

"..., do you understand?" Cai Jinyang took Chen Huaisheng away and was about to break up.

Once you enter the Chuan Gong Academy, your freedom will be restricted by the rules. Cai Jinyang was originally in the center of the Chuan Gong Academy, but he has been taken out to go on official business, so he is not restricted. If the overseas business trip ends, he will still have to return.

Gongyuan.

"Does it mean that the most miserable, tiring and constrained place right now is the outer hall?" Chen Huaisheng was mentally prepared, but he did not expect that it would be so different from living freely outside.

"About that, the middle hall is slightly better, but if you haven't entered the country for a long time, you will be under great pressure, like me." Cai Jinyang smiled bitterly, "That's why I begged to go out to practice. If I don't enter the country, I'm afraid I will become like Zhikeyuan

It’s old and decrepit.”

"If I enter the country quickly, can I get some freedom and privileges?" Chen Huaisheng asked thoughtfully.

Cai Jinyang glanced at Chen Huaisheng and said without hesitation: "Of course, genius is not restricted. As long as your performance can be recognized by the teachers of Chuangong Academy, you can do whatever you want. Not only will the resources be tilted towards you, but you will also want to do whatever you want.

What, it will also open the door to convenience for you. If you practice the immortal way and follow the rules, how can you expect to be a genius?"

Cai Jinyang is gone.

From this moment on, Chen Huaisheng understood that he had truly entered the stage of cultivating immortality.

In the past, I mostly relied on doing things and fighting for my own self-growth through these experiences, but when cultivating immortals, I still need to spend more time immersed in the practice.

The person who came to guide Chen Huaisheng was a seventh-level Qi-refining Taoist named Guo Chongdao. He looked like he was only fifty years old, but his real age was definitely more.

The Taoist surnamed Guo was not familiar with Cai Jinyang, but he was familiar with Yunhe and Luo Xiuyue. He heard that Chen Huaisheng came from Liao County and asked about the situation. Chen Huaisheng briefly explained the situation and heard that

Yun He and Luo Xiuyue sounded quite close, so Guo Chongdao asked casually: "Are you familiar with their couple?"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Huaisheng knew that the other party probably had some friendship with Yun He and Luo Xiuyue, and he quickly said: "This disciple and Senior Brother Yun and Senior Sister Luo are quite close, and the Senior Brother and Senior Sister take good care of him..."

The Taoist surnamed Guo was a little surprised, as if he didn't believe it. Chen Huaisheng said again: "Senior Sister Luo also gave the disciple a black wood talisman and a Yanyang talisman..."

After hearing this, Taoist Master Guo changed his expression slightly.

These two things are not considered disrespectful. Is a disciple who only entered Taoism at the age of twenty worthy of being so valued by Yunhe and Luo Xiuyue?

Isn’t it said that he is a relative of Wu Tianen?

Yun He was not close to Luo Xiuyue and Wu Tianen. With their personalities, they would not and had no need to please Wu Tianen.

You need to understand and observe this thing.

After briefly introducing the situation of the outer courtyard to Chen Huaisheng, Taoist Master Guo brought Chen Huaisheng into the outer courtyard.

The outer courtyard is located inside the entire mountain col group, next to a pass. After climbing over this not-so-high pass, there is another huge mountain col. Over there is the territory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

This area belongs to the outer courtyard, House B is on the edge, House A is in the area close to the middle courtyard, and House B is in between.

"The terrain on the south side is slightly higher and is the meditation area. The terrain on the north side is low and there are many springs. It is a place for practice. To the east is the dining hall where you can eat. Of course you have to go back to your room to take the food.

, also by yourself,..."

"The mountains, woods and hills to the west are vast and can be used to practice spells on your own. However, you haven't refined your Qi yet, so don't think about it for now..."

"It's about four or five miles away from Daojing Pavilion from here. Next to Haoyue Pond, there is a large number of pavilions. You can tell at a glance..."

"If you want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you need to tell me in advance. Although it is open to all disciples, for now, I don't recommend that you spend too much time there. Cultivation is the first priority..."

The Taoist surnamed Guo gave Chen Huaisheng the rules for study, practice and assessment. Only then did Chen Huaisheng roughly understand the general operating model of the Chonghua Sect.

Knowing that Chen Huaisheng must still have many questions, Taoist Master Guo also knew that he could not explain them at the moment, so he first brought Chen Huaisheng to the Yishe in the inner courtyard.

House B in the inner courtyard is an open courtyard, which is a bit reluctant to say that the courtyard is a small one. Half-person-high wind chime trees surround an area of ​​about 60 acres. The entire building complex presents a horizontal landscape.

It is a Japanese-shaped building with three rows of houses. The middle row has two rows back to back. There is also a separate lobby at the far side.

Men are on the left and women are on the right, forming two relatively closed areas.

Outside the accommodation area, there is a square paved with white stones. There is a platform about half a person's height in the middle, covering an area of ​​about five acres. It is surrounded by special wooden frames and ropes.

Outside is a high platform, about two feet high, which overlooks the entire platform and the surrounding plains. Chen Huaisheng judged that it should be used by Taoist masters to teach and teach.

Watching Guo Chongdao leading a young man into the main hall closest to the mountainside, there were already more than ten people in the hall.

Chuan Gong Yuan has the largest number of people in the whole sect, accounting for about 60% of the entire Chong Hua sect. The outer hall and the middle hall have the largest number of people in Chuan Gong Yuan. For example, the inner hall only has more than 20 people, and the middle hall has 30 people.

There are more than 60 people in the outer hall.

Among the outer halls, House Yi has the smallest number of people, with only about eleven or twelve people.

Having entered Taoism but not being able to practice Qi is basically a transitional stage, but it is very important.

Generally speaking, after entering the Tao, you can reach the first level of Qi refining within five to six years. If you cannot break through after more than six years, then basically you can only stay in the sect and do mundane tasks. Of course, if you leave the sect, you will not be able to make a breakthrough.

Will stay.

Therefore, this stage is also the most stressful in the outer hall. You have entered Taoism, but you cannot practice to the first level of Qi refining. Doesn't this give everyone so much hope, but in the end you are disappointed?

This is even more unacceptable than being a beginner but not being able to enter the Tao.

After all, there are many people who are innately unable to enter the Tao. If you start but cannot enter the Tao, it is nothing more than attracting people to make mistakes, and you can just send them away.

When you join the Tao, you basically have to stay as a disciple. If you don't leave, the sect can't drive you away. They will take care of you for the rest of your life, which is equivalent to having an establishment.

Of course, you can't be a formal disciple. Chen Huaisheng's understanding is that it is roughly equivalent to the Gongqin enterprise establishment.
