Zhao Ran's ring finger was put in a wooden box by Patriarch Long Yang and given to Jiang Tenghe when he ascended that day. Jiang Tenghe had already returned it to Zhao Ran. There was no time to elaborate on it before. Now Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang are going back to the mountain. Zhao Ran
Then he took out the captured loot: the Yuefu Emperor Cauldron, the Yuanbao Mirror, the Immortal Pill, the Linglong Finger Glove, the Dinghai Pearl, and a batch of middle and low-level magic weapons, as well as a large number of elixirs, elixirs, and talismans. There were piles of things.
On the bed, Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang were a little surprised.
Zhao Ran couldn't move around easily, so he could only point with his finger: "Teacher, Mistress, these are the funds prepared by the disciples for Lou Guan..." Thinking of something, he added: "By the way, there are also
Two hundred thousand taels of silver to supplement the sect’s needs.”
With a bang, a pile of banknotes poured out from the ring. They were all in denominations of fifty and one hundred taels. There was a big pile.
Jiang Tenghe sighed and asked: "You have so many places to spend money here..."
Zhao Ran rushed to say: "There are still disciples. Senior Sister Song from the Shangsan Palace is in charge. There are more in the treasury over there. The disciples have plenty of money. Teacher, don't worry. Now in the mountain sect, including Uncle Lin and the others from Wenqing Valley, the third generation
There are already more than thirty disciples, and such a large business cannot be completed without money."
If a sect wants to operate normally, it not only needs cultivation resources, but also the support of money is very important. The expenses of the secular and Taoist disciples in the sect, the salaries of the disciples, the purchase of cultivation materials, the maintenance of the mountain gate, etc. are all inseparable from money.
The current sect hall is relatively good. In the future, if the sect has hundreds of people, its annual maintenance fee will be no less than 20,000 silver.
Jiang Tenghe nodded: "Forget it, just keep it then?" After saying that, he rolled the banknotes into the wooden box.
Zhao Ran added: "Teacher also keeps these materials, elixirs, and talismans."
Jiang Tenghe said: "Let's leave it to you first. Aren't you still planning to build the bridge? You will be in the capital for a long time in the future, and it will be useful when you recruit disciples. What the founder left behind will be rewarded by the True Master Hall.
That side of Maharaja Mountain is enough."
Both sides packed up their things again, and whoever took it out put it back into whose storage artifact. The only difference was that Zhao Ran handed over two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Zhao Liniang grabbed the five-pole yellow dragon bell awarded by the True Master Hall and stuffed it into Zhao Ran's hand: "Zhiran doesn't have a good self-defense magic weapon now, and your teacher and I are worried...Don't say Yue
Fuhuang Jiding, this is something from Sanmao Pavilion. If you have to stay in the capital, it is not good to keep possession of other people's treasures. How will you deal with Chen Shandao in the future? How will you discuss making a living with Li Dayin? This knot is suitable.
When the time comes, we must untie it and return the things to others. We in Lou Guan will not take advantage of this!"
Zhao Ran took over the Five-pole Yellow Dragon Bell, learned how to use it, retained his spiritual consciousness, and stuffed it into the ring. This defensive weapon is no less than the Yuefu Huangji Cauldron. When used, the five yellow dragons on the bell will automatically protect it.
It's mysterious. This is the fourth defensive magic weapon that Zhao Ran has used since he left the Fire Magic Robe, the Mandala Mandala, and the Yue Mansion Emperor Cauldron. But this time, he finally doesn't have to give it back to others.
The master and his wife are planning to rush to Lushan first to secure the rewards from the True Master Hall, and then rush back to Dajun Mountain - because Wei Zhizhen is going to retreat.
When he first heard the news, Zhao Ran was surprised and happy: "Eldest Brother has only been in the Archmage realm for six years, right? Is he about to attack the Master Refiner? He didn't tell me either."
Zhao Liniang said: "Zhizhen's sudden improvement in cultivation was mainly due to one person's challenge to four masters three years ago. Although he won the battle easily, the insights he gained from the battle with high-level monks were still very different.
, especially in the battle at Longhu Mountain, Zhizhen praised Zhang Yuanxiang very much. He didn’t tell you because you were seriously injured now, and he was afraid that you would be eager to win and chase. But your teacher and I both felt that you wouldn’t.
, so I still have to tell you what should be told to you.”
Patriarch Longyang has ascended. Now the Maharaja Mountain is at its most vulnerable. There must be a lot of nefarious people who claim to be brave and brave people who come to play in the gym and expect Uncle Lin to protect the Maharaja Mountain. His strength is somewhat weak, and I
The senior brother basically doesn't think about the fight, so the teacher and his wife have to rush back immediately to take charge.
Suddenly remembering something, Zhao Ran asked again: "Where is Senior Sister Qingyi?"
Zhao Liniang smiled and said: "She has also gone into seclusion and is practicing in my North Taoist Hall. Speaking of which, she is faster than Zhizhen. She has only been in the realm of the Great Master for five years. Don't worry, they are both in seclusion at the same time. This encounter
It's a good sign, there will definitely be no problem. After we come out, the master's wife will make the decision and go to Wudang Mountain to propose marriage. Then we will take care of your business!"
Zhao Ran was overjoyed again. If Taoist Qingyi also broke through and became a refiner, then the sect's holy hall would have two great masters, and with four masters in charge, he would really be able to sit back and relax!
As for his own affairs - he pouted at Jiang Tenghe, and Zhao Liniang said: "What your teacher said before about doing things in order was a joke, but Rong Niang and you took it seriously, especially Rong Niang, see the sky
She went to Maharaja Mountain to attract people, and everyone was laughing. I will also set a tone with you here, so that she doesn’t have to worry so much, and it’s okay!”
Jiang Tenghe tilted his head and let out a "snort" in protest. But his protest was in vain. Zhao Ran's longevity was almost gone. How could he let his disciple die alone just because of a word? Now he wants to
What worries me is whether the Duanmu family is still willing to have his disciple as their son-in-law.
The teacher and his wife took care of Zhao Ran for a month, and it was time to go back. They set off in a hurry just after mid-July. After Wei Zhizhen and Qingyi Taoist both retreated, the combat power of the Zongsheng Hall dropped significantly, and it was located on the border.
It's not possible to rush back and sit in charge.
Prior to this, Qu Fenghe and Feng Tang had used Qing Yu Baoqi to travel back and forth several times, carrying back the Monkey King, Lord Ma and other Junshan spirit monsters to fill the gap in Dajun Mountain's military force.
Linglu Yuyang and his two ladies also got on the Qingyu Baoyi. They followed Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang, and the last group retreated.
When the Qingyu Treasure Wings slowly rose, Duck Xiaoqi and Fox Xiaojiu waved downwards desperately, while the Hongze spirit monsters below raised their heads to say goodbye. It was not until the Qingyu Treasure Wings disappeared into the sky that Niu Da finally let out a "moo"
, turned to Zhao Ran and said: "Old Niu, I really want to cry..."
Rong Niang touched his horns and comforted him: "You should be happy that your daughter is getting married."
The Chunfeng Langyuan immediately became quiet, and Zhao Ran rested here to recover from his injuries. Occasionally, Xu Yun'ao, who lived in Baoyue Villa not far away, would come over to take a look at Zhao Ran's injuries and tell him about the affairs of the True Master Hall.
The days went by like this day by day.
In early August in the south of the Yangtze River, it was rainy and foggy all the time. It seemed like there would never stop raining in the sky, and the ground was always wet.
Su Chuanyao held an oil-paper umbrella and sent Rong Niang to Yunming Lily. Rong Niang looked back at Zhao Ran who was sitting in the wooden wheelchair, and said worriedly: "Don't worry about it, take good care of yourself."
.”
Zhao Ran smiled and nodded: "I know." He was still suffering from the dual pain of losing his life span and exploding his merit power. The external manifestation was coughing, and if he moved slightly, his meridians would be involved like a knife.
The pain was like cutting, and I would break into a cold sweat every time. So I had someone make a wooden wheelchair to prepare me for travel.
Rong Niang looked at Duanmu Xia Ling next to Zhao Ran again and said: "Father said, let you practice well here, don't run around, listen to Zhao Zhiran, you can practice how he tells you, otherwise you will go back to the pavilion
Zaoshan, do you know, second brother?"
Duanmu Xia Ling rolled his eyes and waved his hand impatiently: "Let's go quickly, I'm so annoyed."
Only then did Rong Niang step into the misty lily.
The mist lilies suddenly appeared, rising in the drizzle, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
After taking care of Zhao Ran for more than a month, Rong Niang was finally persuaded by Zhao Ran to go back to the mountain for retreat. She had already wasted an opportunity to gain enlightenment half a month ago. This was the second time. Zhao Ran could not let her do it no matter what.
I wasted my time with Chunfeng Langyuan and forced her to go back, first to entrust her spiritual consciousness.
ps: Thanks to Hengli Yu Taozu for the generous reward on the occasion of this great festival. I knelt down and worshiped until I couldn't get up...
