Chapter 95 Shou Sui (for the first commemoration of the list)
Eight years ago, Zhao Ran raised his head and recalled that it was the 20th year of Jiajing. At that time, he had just become the abbot of Wujiyuan in Guyang County. Looking back now, it feels like yesterday.
Then he said: "Eight years ago, when the poor Taoist was still in Long'an Mansion... When you came to Sichuan eight years ago, did you know any Taoist friends you were familiar with? Tell me, maybe they are in our sect's hall right now."
Hu Xiaojiu then began to reminisce: "There was a monkey who called himself the Great Ape. This guy was quite capable and was very good at fighting..."
Yuyang shouted: "The monkey is in the Zongsheng Hall! Where else is there?"
Hu Xiaojiu blinked: "Really... There is also an iron-eating beast. It's chubby and has dark circles under its eyes. It's really fun..."
Yuyang: "Yes, yes too!"
Hu Xiaojiu was startled, and then said: "There is also Shen Jiangzi, who always wants to exchange fake money with me..."
Yuyang: "Also in Maharaja Mountain!"
"There is also a wild boar who calls himself Marshal Gao..."
Yuyang: “Yes, yes!”
Zhao Ran couldn't sit still: "Xiaojiu, in what month did you go to Sichuan? Where did you go?"
Hu Xiaojiu said: "I went there at the beginning of the year and left in September."
Zhao Ran leaned forward: "Where are you going?"
"I stayed in eastern Sichuan for a longer time, and later I went to northern Sichuan and Mount Taihua."
"Do you have a Dharma name called Qingqiu?"
"I just made this up randomly. Isn't my cave home Qinglong Mountain? The villagers at the foot of the mountain call it Qingqiu Mountain... After arriving in Sichuan, the fellow Taoists there like to add a Dharma name to themselves, so I just made it up casually.
One. Hey, how did the Taoist priest know?"
"Pindao used to be a Taoist priest in Huayun Hall."
"Daomen Xingxing? Ah... Zhao Xingxing?"
So what does it mean to be enemies on a narrow road? In the later stages of the Taihua Mountain War, the military strategist behind the demons in eastern Sichuan saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately turned around and stopped playing.
If it weren't for the fact that she was a fox, she would have caught the opportunity early, otherwise she would have joined the Junshan construction team long ago.
Eight years have passed since the Taihua Mountain War. There is not so much hatred between spirits and monsters. Both sides of the war are now practicing together in the Zongsheng Pavilion, working together, busy with their practice, and heading towards a better tomorrow.
, so although Hu Xiaojiu was an important fugitive in the war, he was nothing at this moment.
At that moment, Zhao Ran and Hu Xiaojiu started talking about Taihua Mountain.
"Haha, it's really interesting that I was able to meet Master Qingqiu back then. I believe those guys from the Brachiura will remember you. After I went there, I told them not to cause trouble for you."
"Thank you, Taoist Master, but I'm not afraid either. With Seventh Sister and Yuyang here, the three of us will stick together, and he may not be our opponent. If that doesn't work, I'll go find Niu Da and the others. I have a lot of brothers and sisters in my family!"
"Oh, by the way, a wanted order was issued in the name of Yuhuang Pavilion back then, and the wanted person was you."
"I haven't received any news about this. Is this mage still wanted? How interesting!"
When talking about the cause of the war, Zhao Ran asked: "Why do you just want to run to Sichuan? Why do you just want to encourage these guys to fight?"
Hu Xiaojiu said: "When I was practicing, I wandered all the way to the east of Sichuan. I happened to see a spiritual grass growing very well in the mountains. I felt that my own practice might be of great help, so I stayed in the mountains for half a year. That year
In March, an old man came from nowhere and wanted to steal this spiritual grass from me, so I had a fight with him, but I couldn't beat him..."
Yuyang said angrily from the side: "What a thief, what an old man, I will wait for a while to avenge Xiaojiu!"
Hu Xiaojiu rolled her eyes at him and continued: "Since I can't fight him, I accepted my fate and left. Unexpectedly, this old man told me that as long as I obeyed him, the gentian leaf grass would be returned to me.
I asked him what was going on, and he said that he had a few good friends from the Xuanmen sect who were in Sichuan, helping some demon cultivators recover their robbed caves, and they had made an appointment with their enemies to hunt in Taihua Mountain at the end of summer, and asked me to go to Sichuan to help out.
.This spiritual grass is very important to me, so I decided to agree to the old man and go to Taihua Mountain to fight."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and asked: "Is this old man dressed like an old Confucian scholar? Is his surname Lan and his name Lan Tianyu?"
Hu Xiaojiu shook his head: "It's not Lantian Yu. Lantian Yu is the person the old man asked me to go to Sichuan to find. It is said that he is a high-level cultivator from Shangsan Palace. The old man called himself a Taoist from Lingtai Mountain, and I didn't have any impression. Later he came to Sichuan and heard his surname.
The blue ones and others mentioned that this old man is so powerful that his surname seems to be Gu..."
Zhao Ran asked: "Have you seen this guy named Gu again since then? Is there any more news about him?"
Hu Xiaojiu said: "I have never seen this old man again since then. By the way, Daozhang Zhao, I have a wanted order from your Taoist sect on my back. How can I get to Sichuan? Can I evacuate?"
Zhao Ran laughed and said there was no problem.
He sent a flying talisman to Dongfang Li, told him about Hu Xiaojiu’s situation, and wished Dongfang a New Year greeting. Soon, Dongfang Li replied: “I’ll be right over!”
Zhao Ran asked: "Don't you celebrate the Chinese New Year too?"
Dongfang Li replied: "Of course it's Chinese New Year, we are all making dumplings together."
Well, facing the comrades on this front, Zhao Ran suddenly felt very ashamed and sincerely expressed his respect to these people. At the same time, he also felt a little regretful. He would have told them tomorrow if he had known better. Now, Nian
I can’t even make it past thirty…
Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong came hand in hand, and Zhao Ran quickly asked them to take a seat. Hu Xiaojiu had already learned the identities of these two people from Zhao Ran, and was very uneasy at the moment.
After the two people arrived, they immediately threw themselves into the questioning. They spent more than half an hour asking about the situation that year in detail. Then Wei Chaozong wrote a picture of this person on the spot according to Hu Xiaojiu's narration.
Portrait of an ancient Taoist from Lingtai Mountain.
Zhao Ran didn't expect that Wei Chaozong was a master at this. After several corrections, Hu Xiaojiu said that he almost had a 60-70% resemblance.
Zhao Ran watched from the side, and after taking it, he painted a few strokes of light and darkness, and Hu Xiaojiu said: "This is it, at least eight points, nine points is almost the same!"
Wei Chaozong was also beside him in admiration. He asked Zhao Ran for advice on the portrait for half an hour. Under Dongfang Li's urging, he took a pebble that Zhao Ran had picked up for him by the lake and went back to find time to practice.
Watching the New Year's Eve resumed, and in the early hours of the morning, various white lights began to shine on Zhao Ran's head, including those of the brothers from the sect, the sisters from the Wenqing Grandmaster, and acquaintances from various pavilions including Yuhuang Pavilion, Helin Pavilion, and Zixiao Pavilion.
, almost everyone he knew from the casual cultivator family, including Rong Niang... immediately made Zhao Ran panic.
At midnight, another wave of white light surged over. They were the classmates he had met in this lecture hall. There were 113 classmates, and the number of people who issued charms to him reached 97!
Zhao Ran was replying one by one, while secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, the flying talisman in his hand only cost five taels of silver. Otherwise, he would have to reply to thousands of taels of silver tonight. But even so, the cost of more than 200 taels of silver would be too much.
It made him feel very distressed.
ps: Taoist Babao was satisfied to be ranked first on the reward list, even if it was only for one day. Taoist Babao knelt down to worship all the fellow Taoists, and arrogantly pointed to the sky: "Come and burst the poor Taoist chrysanthemum!"
