Sun Ran was still working in the Yamen as usual. His identity was just an ordinary clerk, and he was usually very low-key. He only did his own job and ignored everything else.
Because of the deliberate concealment and the fact that Sun Ran had changed his appearance, the colleagues in the yamen had no idea of Sun Ran's identity as a Taoist priest. They only vaguely knew that he was a relative who came to seek refuge with the county magistrate. They were not easy to mess with.
He also had an attitude of keeping things in check, so he always kept a respectful distance from him.
Today was the same as usual. Sun Ran waited for more than two hours, and the news of the county magistrate's promotion came in. He was promoted to the second rank of assistant, to the sixth rank, and to the magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture.
Hangzhou is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, much better than Hebian County. This official promotion is reliable. It seems that the teacher Yang Ting uses is very powerful.
After noon, Yang Tingyong's old servant Wang Fugui came to inform Sun Ran, saying that he had a tight deadline to take office and the journey was long, so he would set off later and just wait at the city gate.
Sun Ran had already expected this, so he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I will never delay Dong Weng's important event."
Wang Fugui knew Sun Ran's true identity, and knew that he was a powerful person with Taoist and divine powers. He quickly waved his hand and said: "If you don't dare to take it, if you don't take it, just call me Fugui. Then I won't bother you and go to work first."
."
"Uncle, walk slowly."
Since he was about to leave in the afternoon, Sun Ran packed up the documents on hand and handed them to a colleague who was usually talkative. Then he bowed to each other and said, "Everyone, I'm going to excuse myself."
There were more than twenty clerks on duty in the room. After hearing this, they all bowed their hands in a perfunctory manner and said a few words of "bon voyage". The matter was over.
By the time Sun Ran returned to her residence, Ke'er had already packed her luggage. She was dressed in a smart outfit and carried a bow and arrow. She also had a pink baby face, and her heroic appearance was also delicate.
She was so pretty that Sun Ran felt hot in her heart. She couldn't help teasing her: "Junior sister, you are becoming more and more charming."
Ke'er chuckled, and then pretended to be sad: "What's the use of Shui Ling? Senior brother is a great talent, and he never looks at me."
Her expression was obviously a joke, but it sounded a bit true, which made Sun Ran a little confused. If so, why did she often reject him at night? She didn't know how to answer for a while, so she could only laugh.
"Big idiot." Ke'er snorted, and then said: "Let's go, I guess Master Yang is about to leave."
They didn't have many things, just two packages containing a change of clothes and some silver coins. The two came out of their residence and walked for a while. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the officials who came to see them off had already arrived.
Turning around, the magistrate's carriage was about to set off.
Most of the people present were acquaintances, including Mr. Yang and his wife, a pair of children, a few maids and servants, only a dozen people in total.
Surprisingly, there was an outsider present. He was a tall man, wearing a swordfish suit with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist. He was riding a tall horse with a powerful crossbow hanging from the horse's neck. He was actually a royal guard.
When Yang Tingyong saw Sun Ran's arrival, he greeted him warmly: "Brother Renyuan, time is short and I have to rush on my way. Please bear with me."
Because he was disguising his identity as a scribe, Yang Tingyong was used to calling him by his new name.
Sun Ran smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."
Yang Tingyong turned around and said to the Jin Yiwei on the horse: "This is my best friend, Xu Renyuan. His Taoist name is Chang Qingzi. He has Taoist powers. This time when the big demon attacked, it was Brother Renyuan who saved the siege."
When Jin Yiwei heard this, his brows moved, but the indifferent expression on his face remained unchanged. He cupped his hands perfunctorily: "It turns out to be Taoist Master Changqing. I hope your Taoist skills are not used to bluff people."
His expression was arrogant, and in his words, he completely regarded Sun Ran as a low-level figure who performed in the world of martial arts.
As soon as these words came out, Sun Ran had not reacted, but Ke'er was already very unhappy. He pouted his mouth and was about to step forward to argue, but his hand tightened and was held back by Sun Ran. When he looked back, he saw Sun Ran
He smiled and shook his head, with no trace of displeasure on his face.
Yang Tingyong was also surprised. He knew Sun Ran's true ability. How could such a peerless person be so insulted? He quickly intervened to mediate and said with a smile: "Brother Renyuan, don't be surprised. His name is Li Yan, and he is one of the top masters in the Jinyi Guards.
He is a martial artist with a rough temper."
All the way from Hebian County to Hangzhou Prefecture, the road passed through many barren mountains and ridges. This Li Yan was a master sent by his teacher in the capital to protect him on the road. This man has real abilities, but he is a bit arrogant and looks down on the world.
Hero, when Sun Ran was away, he always said that Taoist priests were all liars and that there was no real Taoism in the world.
Of course, Sun Ran would not argue with the aborigines. Doesn't this Jinyiwei think that Taoism has anything to do with his mission? Besides, he can't be entirely blamed for this. There are countless examples of people using rudimentary Taoism to defraud money, and the reputation of Taoist priests has been ruined.
Got ruined by these scammers.
He smiled lightly and said nonchalantly: "Brother Wenchang, there is no need to worry about this matter. Fame and fortune are like floating clouds to me, and fighting over loyalty is meaningless."
As soon as these words came out, the judgment was made. Yang Ting gave a secret praise, he is indeed a master, this state is different.
He respected Sun Ran more and more, believing that this was the true character of a Taoist.
Li Yan snorted secretly, taking Sun Ran's retreat as weakness, and became more and more convinced that this was a charlatan.
When everyone arrived, the carriage team set off.
Li Yan opened the way in front, Sun Ran and Yang Tingyong each rode a horse, and the male servant drove the carriage. Ke'er and Mrs. Yang sat in a carriage in front, and there was a simple carriage behind, pulled by several maids.
.
I said before that I was preparing to drive on a starry night, but this was really it. In the following time, the carriage traveled eastward along the official road, starting at six o'clock in the morning before dawn, and if there was moonlight at night, it would continue
Hurrying until the horses are too tired to stand it, they won't stop. It's really like eating wind and drinking dew, which is very hard.
However, nothing happened along the way. They were just a few thieves who blocked the road and robbed them. Sun Ran did not need to do anything, and they were all solved by Li Yan, a master of Jinyiwei.
Sun Ran also understood his skills. He was indeed one of the best martial arts masters among ordinary players in the world, and he had the capital to be proud of.
Within half a month, the convoy entered Zhejiang, and a few days later, it entered Jinhua, not far from Hangzhou.
That night, when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, a strong wind blew by, and dark clouds covered the moon. After a while, heavy raindrops began to fall, and it seemed that there was no way to escape the heavy rain.
"Master, can you find a place to take shelter from the rain?" Mrs. Yang shouted at the top of her lungs in the car. The wind was too strong and she couldn't hear the main points.
Yang Tingyong was also a little anxious. The weather could change at any time. If they couldn't find shelter from the rain, they would be in trouble tonight.
God failed to take care of Yang Tingyong's wish, and soon he could no longer hold back the rain. The heavy rain suddenly poured down, drenching the three men riding outside and the driver driving the carriage. The inside of the carriage was not much better, so
After many days of driving down the road, it was already worn out. It was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.
It was so embarrassing that Sun Ran cursed the game administrator in his heart, but he also knew that it was not the game administrator's fault, because the weather system was adjusted by brain calculations and was not easy to change.
Li Yan had good eyesight, and with the help of a flash of lightning in the sky, he suddenly pointed ahead and said: "Look, there is a temple over there."
There was a thunderbolt, and the sky and the earth suddenly turned white. This time, Sun Ran and Yang Tingyong also saw that there was indeed a temple not far ahead, and it didn't seem to be very dilapidated.
"Let's go!" Li Yan led the way, and a group of people behind him followed, drove into a side road, and headed towards the temple.
The temple is not far away. After walking for a few minutes, I saw a stone tablet on the roadside. On the stone tablet were engraved three eye-catching characters "Lanruo Temple".
"Lanruo Temple is in front of you. It's quite a small place." Li Yan wiped the rain off his face.
The others were very happy and sped up. Only Sun Ran looked thoughtful. In his eyes, the temple was shrouded in a faint black air and had a gloomy atmosphere. It was really not a good place.
But he didn't stop it, because it was raining heavily now, and everyone really needed a place to shelter from the rain. If there were really ghosts causing trouble, he would kick them out.
