After class, Zhao Ran gave Lu Yuanyuan a thumbs up. Lu Yuanyuan smiled and walked out of the lecture hall side by side with Zhao Ran.
"I should have thought that Senior Sister Lu is here to teach. If Deyou Temple doesn't come to teach about the rituals of fasting and rituals, what will happen to the world?"
"Haha, Junior Brother Zhao, you are really... In fact, not only my family, but also the Du family in Zhejiang are proficient in this art."
"Anyway, if I have to think about it, the first one must be the Lu family. By the way, where does senior sister live?"
"Maoshan has a separate Ye outside Yanziji. I have been staying there for the past two months."
After chatting for a while, Lu Yuanyuan asked: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the teaching hall will be closed for three days. Does Junior Brother Zhao have somewhere to go? Why not come to Yanziji?"
Zhao Ran in turn invited: "I was about to tell my senior sister that tomorrow some of my colleagues will go out to relax and play ball to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. I wonder if my senior sister is free?"
Lu Yuanyuan asked the people involved, and after hearing the names of Miss Jiu, Pei Zhongze and others, he nodded in agreement.
In recent years, the practice ball has become more and more popular in Taoist sects. When the idle abbots heard that Zhao Ran had summoned fellow Taoists to meet friends with the ball, they rushed over and asked to go together.
In fact, there are golf courses around the capital, but they were all built by the Shangsan Palace. It was rare for these group of training abbots to go there. Therefore, when Zhao Ran led his comrades down the mountain, more than 20 people had gathered, half of them. They are all golden elixirs.
When they walked outside Sanshan Gate, the team had swelled to more than thirty people. When Zhao Ran was greeting everyone to keep a low profile, a man on horseback in the distance hurriedly chased after him, shouting: "Everyone, slow down!"
Zhao Ran turned around and saw that it was Li Dayin, the deputy seal of the Daolu Department, chasing him along the road.
Zhao Ran thought to himself, could it be that the Lecture Hall doesn't allow everyone to go out to play ball games? Looking back at the rules announced at the beginning of the class, there is no such rule in it?
Li Dayin caught up to him, turned over and dismounted, laughed, and offered his hand to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, I heard that you all went out to play ball games in the city. Li is not talented and loves this game very much. I hope I can go with you and compete with you."
Although Zhao Ran doesn't like this disciple of Chen Tianshi very much, he has never had a bad relationship with Li Dayin openly. What's more, he is still the deputy seal of the Daolu Department, and he is considered the deputy head teacher of the abbot's lecture hall in this period, so it is not easy to be a leader. I couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, so I had to hold my nose and smile.
It seems that because of becoming the abbot of Shifang Jungle, or perhaps because of participating in the training class at the lecture hall, this group of monks who used to meditate in the mountains are now a little more smoky, happily heading towards the shore of Mochou Lake. Leaving the Moon Villa.
The old housekeeper of Baoyue Villa had already received instructions from Zhao Ran, but he did not expect that so many monks would come, so he quickly ordered the people to serve them with all their strength, so that they could stabilize the situation.
This training course in the villa was originally built by Zhao Ran in the 21st year of Jiajing. It can be called a mini golf course. Later, Xu Zhenren couldn't get enough of it and bought some places around the villa next to the lake. , it really cost a lot of money to expand it into a standard stadium.
The training ball is played by two people, one attacking and one defending, so the monks each look for their opponents, the archmage versus the archmage, the golden elixir versus the golden elixir, the yellow crown versus the yellow crown, the Taoist priest against the Taoist priest, and the battle starts one hole after another. .
Zhao Ran was very interested in organizing everyone to play, but he was not interested in playing on the court, so he stayed on the sidelines without swinging, but he didn't want Li Dayin to stay and nag beside him.
"Oh, the water, gardens, and scenery here are really good. At night, the full moon rises, and we can enjoy the bright moon together. It will be a good story!"
"Haha, fellow Taoist Li is right..."
"I only knew that Abbot Zhao and Zhenren Xu had a close relationship before, but I didn't expect that the relationship would become so close. It seems that Zhenren Xu really regards Abbot Zhao as a younger disciple. He has lent such a good garden..."
"Haha, fellow Taoist Li is laughing..."
"I heard that Abbot Zhao first came up with the practice ball? I also heard that he came up with it in Baoyue Villa? Abbot Zhao is a great talent!"
"Haha, fellow Taoist Li is too praised..."
"This ball game is now popular inside and outside the capital. There are several standard courts built in Shangsan Palace..."
"Haha, not bad..."
"Last year, the Zongsheng Hall's invitation to compete with the Four Masters was extremely popular. If the practice ball can be equally popular, Abbot Zhao, as the founder, must be happy to see it happen, right?"
"Well, I guess so..."
"Then why don't you and I work together to hold a practice ball competition? I wonder if Abbot Zhao is interested? In this way, we will definitely make a lot of money..."
"Well, I must be interested..."
"That's great, let's make an agreement! Tomorrow night, I will host at the Qinhuai River, please let Abbot Zhao discuss it in detail!"
"Um, okay...ah?"
"I will inform Abbot Zhao immediately after we have decided on a place! My hands are itchy watching football, so I just want to go up and give it a try. Does Abbot want to learn from each other? ... Haha, it doesn't matter. Abbot can do as he pleases, I'm on the field."
Li Dayin thought to himself that he would win the opponent's favor, so he appeared on the stage with a smile on his face. He was facing off against an abbot from the Taoist palace from Zhejiang, who was also an archmage. He was equally matched in terms of cultivation, so the fight was really interesting.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Dayin cheering and swinging on the court. This Li Dayin really got into money's eyes.
Zhao Ran had no interest in playing, but Lu Yuanyuan's invitation to play was to give face. The two of them were playing ball and chatting. Zhao Ran tentatively made some insinuations and asked Lu Yuanyuan his thoughts on Yu Zhichuan without revealing any trace. The situation seemed to be
Not bad, so I felt relieved. It seemed that although the second senior brother was an otaku, he was still very marketable.
That night, a full moon hung in the sky, and the monks sat around the bonfire, drinking wine and eating various foods carefully prepared by Zhao Ran. It was really lively.
After continuing to rest the next day, Zhao Ran returned to Jingyang Tower to rest for a while, and then received Li Dayin's flying talisman - they exchanged the flying talisman's contact information yesterday, which was regarded as a formal communication channel.
Zhao Ran has been feeling uneasy recently and feels guilty that "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me", so he first went to see Miss Ninth and wanted to take her with him. Miss Ninth heard that it was Li Dayin who was behind this, so she fell in love with Zhao.
Ran glanced at him and said: "You are really a great vulgar person among the vulgar people. Is the person named Li a good person? No, in your words, what kind of good person is the person named Li? This kind of thing also pulls me, what do you really think of me?
Are you here? Don’t go!”
"You won't take the opportunity to make a fortune? Don't blame me for not taking you with me then!"
"Don't go!"
So Zhao Ran turned to Pei Zhongze: "Senior Brother Pei, Li Dayin came to talk to me about something. Are you free, Senior Brother? Accompany me to the appointment?"
Pei Zhongze looked at Zhao Ran with a strange expression and said in a low voice: "Zhiran, Li Dayin's reputation is not good, junior brother, wouldn't he go to a flower bar? In this regard, we should try our best not to get involved...
…”
Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile: "Where did Brother Pei think he was? He just went to discuss a business. Are you interested in making extra money with me, Brother Pei? Let's go!"
