Li Dayin interjected: "What happened to your money?"
Zhuge Jiaguang said: "I'm lucky, I have heard someone mention that Abbot Zhao once calculated that to train an entry-level disciple, it would take nearly a hundred taels of silver a year, so I made up my mind to return to Nanyang and sell off my property to make up for this."
Qianliang, I just want to study with Abbot Zhao as a registered disciple for five years!"
Li Dayin was a little moved: "Selling the property? What will you do in five years?"
Zhuge Jiaguang said: "I don't think about what will happen in five years anymore. This is the so-called burning the boat, making progress without retreating! When I went to Dajun Mountain the year before last, I was fortunate enough to have Master Wei Xian see my talent for cultivation. He said that I have the talent to practice.
He has no qualifications and cannot cultivate to immortality. At that time, the villain was in despair, but he heard that the villain was in such a situation. Abbot Zhao also accepted Song Xiong, a member of Songfan Guards, who was accepted by Abbot Zhao as a registered person.
Disciple, I even went to visit him, he has already cultivated to the Taoist realm!"
Zhao Ran asked: "Is your surname Zhuge? With the Zhuge family in Nanyang..."
Zhuge Jiaguang said sadly: "My family has become worse from generation to generation. By the time of Xiaoren's generation, the family fortune has declined. Xiaoren can't bear that I, the Zhuge family of Nanyang, should be removed from the family of practitioners, so I can only come to seek help from the abbot. Even if I only practice to the level of a Taoist priest, Xiaoren
People will not let the Nanyang Zhuge family be completely unknown in the generation of villains..."
Li Dayin sighed and looked at Zhao Ran: "Such ambition is really rare. If you don't accept it, I will accept it."
Zhao Ran didn't say anything. He first checked his qualifications. Sure enough, the qualifications did not exist for Zhuge Jiaguang. He then put his hand on his wrist and checked his bones. The bones were excellent. At any rate, he was a descendant of the once-prominent Nanyang Zhuge. He had a bloodline.
Inherited from each other, their roots are as good as those of Song Xiong.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I can accept you, but I need to register my name first, do things first, and talk about the practice later. Are you willing?"
It is a common rule in the spiritual world to look at character first and then consider teaching. Zhuge Jiaguang was so happy that he immediately kowtowed to the ground and called him "Teacher".
Li Dayin congratulated him, and there was another person beside the donkey cart, but it was Zhuge Jiaguang who was riding a horse.
Li Dayin returned to Purple Mountain Xiangluxuan, while Zhao Ran returned to Chunfeng Langyuan and left Zhuge Jiaguang to Guo Zhiwei and Long Qingye to take action. Zhao Ran didn't worry about it anymore. He usually has his own evaluation after being in contact with him for half a year.
It was already dusk, Zhao Ran drove to Baoyue Villa and met with Xu Yun'ao.
He is an old man of Baoyue Villa. Everyone in the Villa, from the housekeeper to the servants, is very familiar with him. They immediately introduce him to the main hall where Xu Yun'ao lives.
Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yangzhong were both there. They had just finished playing a practice ball and were waiting for Zhao Ran to appear.
After the meeting, Suchuan Yao withdrew because the person she wanted to meet was too high-end and the matter to be discussed was too important for her to handle.
Wu Yangzhong laughed: "Every time Zhiran goes to the Zhenshi Hall, there is a good show to watch. Today I was wondering if Sima jumped out to grab the peach, and whether Zhiran would make any big noise. It was as expected.
, a package solution to Beijing’s problems! It’s wonderful, Zhiran often has some simple and straightforward, but vivid and vivid explanations, which is very interesting.”
Xu Yun'ao said: "It can't be said that Sima is jumping out to pick peaches. He is eager to show off, and saving Maoshan's face is probably a big factor. Let's not talk about Sima..."
After a pause, he said: "You just came back from Qixia?"
Zhao Ran admitted frankly: "Yes. I have been in the capital for a year. No matter whether I have the same philosophy or not, Chen Tianshi is very caring about me. Now that something has happened in Sanmao Pavilion, it is better to go and see it, otherwise my conscience will be guilty."
Xu Yun'ao asked: "How is he?"
Zhao Ran shook his head and replied: "It's not very good." He told Chen Tianshi's situation.
Wu Yangzhong sighed: "No matter who you are, if you find that the goal you have worked hard for for thirty years is just a joke, it will be difficult to accept it."
Xu Yun'ao said: "At this point, Guo Hongjing is more open-minded than him, and his mentality has been adjusted in a month. Of course, this is also because the involvement is not that deep, or in other words, it is not his teacher who constructed such a shocking scam and deceived the world.
It's easy to get out. But no matter what, Chen Shandao is still too persistent. If he can't pass this test, he will be considered useless."
Zhao Ran was silent, and Wu Yang Zhong was silent as well. Although Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yang Zhong had been fighting with Chen Shandao for decades, they were all conflicts within the Taoist sect. It was a bit sad to see their former rivals become so demoralized.
Putting aside this somewhat heavy topic, Xu Yun'ao asked: "What Zhiran said in the Zichen Hall today shocked everyone. The initiative he proposed is indeed very thoughtful. One center, three institutions, three tasks, and three major groups.
With these three functions, I almost fainted."
Zhao Ran said: "Ashamed, I have been thinking about the Capital Incident in the past two months. I want to summarize the gains and losses from it and see what we could have avoided and what problems we can rectify. And among these problems that need to be rectified
Among them, which ones can be changed immediately, which ones need to be set up a timetable, and which ones are temporarily unsolved. After thinking about it for so long, I can come up with some crooked reasons. I hope you two
What a joke."
Wu Yangzhong said with a smile: "How can you dare to say anything funny? What you said today, I, a straight-headed man, can only understand but not understand. In short, I think it makes sense."
Xu Yun'ao said deeply: "Master Wu Tianshi and I discussed it all afternoon and felt that Zhiran's approach was very effective. It effectively integrated the Daolu Department, Yuanfu Palace, Shangsan Palace, and Lecture Hall in the capital.
The lofty intention is indeed extraordinary. Especially the positioning of the general affairs center mentioned is worth thinking about. Both Wu Tianshi and I highly praise you."
Zhao Ran leaned forward and said: "A little insight, recognized by the master, is a blessing for a disciple."
Wu Yangzhong laughed and asked: "You kid suddenly came up with such a plan, are you planning to protect Li Dahe?"
Zhao Ran said: "Li Dayin is a talent. In fact, my disciples believe that everyone from Sanmaoguan to Tianshi Shao and Tianshi Chen, including Li Dayin, are all talented people."
Xu Yun nodded, agreeing with Zhao Ran's point of view, but said: "We all agree on the talents of the monks in Sanmaoguan, but such a big thing happened, and others would not be able to hide from them, but you are better off, and you took the initiative to approach. Don't tell me.
Those words of providing help in times of need, helping the poor and the lowly, and helping the vulnerable. Although you are still young, you are already in a position of superiority and have gained some prestige... What did you think about it? "
Zhao Ran suddenly felt a burst of pressure coming towards him. The pressure did not come from the cultivation level of Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yangzhong, but from their careful gazes. There were various meanings in these gazes, which made Zhao Ran feel at a loss for a moment.
