The completion of a talisman contains three parts, one is the talisman paper, the second is the talisman ink and talisman pen used to draw the talisman, and the third is the mana stored on it.
The talisman paper is a basic part and can retain mana because it has been soaked in several kinds of spiritual mineral liquid. The main ingredients of the spiritual mineral liquid are sulfur and malachite.
With Junshan Mobile's aggressive acquisition of talisman paper, there has been a shortage of talisman paper supply on the market. The reason for the shortage is the insufficient supply of Linghuang and Malachite.
Guo Zhiwei and Long Qingwei came to Zhao Ran to discuss this issue.
Zhao Ran didn't have any good ideas. The Ming Dynasty was not in short supply of these two materials originally, but that was because the refining of talismans was not easy and the quantity was not as high as it is now, so it did not show up.
Now that the cost of a flying talisman has dropped to one-fiftieth of its original value, the output will inevitably increase by at least fifty times, and the problem immediately becomes apparent. What's more, the same is true for several other commonly used talismans.
Guo Zhiwei did not expect Zhao Ran to come up with a fundamental solution immediately. The two of them heard that the Jimingguan Inspection Team seized a sea-going ship last month and confiscated a cargo of goods, including a large amount of sulfur and malachite.
, so I came here to ask for it to solve the urgent need.
Zhao Ran immediately called Pei Zhongning over and asked if there was such a thing. Pei Zhongning replied that it was, and this was the sixth smuggling ship Gu Kexue had handed over to her this year.
The cargo on the ship has not yet been processed, so it happened to be purchased by Junshan Mobile. This batch of spiritual sulfur and malachite is enough to soak tens of thousands of talisman paper, and can be used to refine more than a million talismans, which is enough for Junshan Mobile to use for four to five months.
.
After the immediate problem was solved, Zhao Ran began to think about the issues of Lingsulfur and Malachite.
He first found Gu Kexue and asked, "Where did the smuggling ship you seized earlier come from?"
Gu Kexue replied: "It's from Ling'ao Island."
"Is it from Ling'ao Island again? Has anyone been caught?"
"Uh... I'm ashamed..."
"Escaped again? Which group didn't check it?"
"Group B, Liu Chujiu and the others. It was another chance encounter. Group B started fighting before they had time to call for reinforcements."
"Call them here."
Liu Chujiu, Qian Xundaotong and Lin Ayu came to see Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran did not blame them for not being able to catch people - there were too few people and it was easy to seize the ship, but it was more difficult to catch the people.
The main subject of Zhao Ran's inquiries was Qian Xundaotong, who can be described as an expert on overseas issues among Zhao Ran's subordinates.
"Qianxun, there was a large amount of spirit sulfur and malachite in the ship you seized this time. Do you know where it was produced?"
Qianxun Taotong raised his hands and said enthusiastically: "I know, I know! It's a place called Sunque Island."
"Sulfque Island? Just because it produces sulfur and malachite?"
"yes!"
"Where is Sulphonade?"
"It's somewhere far away. I don't know exactly where it is. I've never been there."
"Who is the owner of the island?"
"have no idea……"
"Then, who might know?"
"People from Ling'ao Island!"
"..."
"Abbott, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Okay, you go back."
Zhao Ran came to the Cultivation Certificate Management Room and asked someone to type out the list of monks who had applied for the Cultivation Certificate. The long list search was dozens of pages long, totaling thousands of people.
After excluding the more than 300 land-based monks, there are still more than 800 people. After a quick glance, there is not a single monk from Ling'ao Island. This makes Zhao Ran a little annoyed. The people of Ling'ao Island really don't give to the poor.
To save face.
After carefully checking it, I saw the name of Taoist Bujiu, and immediately slapped my thigh: "Why did I forget this person?"
Zhao Ranfei asked Suchuan Yao who was running around outside: "Where are you? Are you at the Huiminji Medical Hall?"
Suchuanyao immediately replied: "Disciple is at Huiminji Medical Hall, and senior Buju is also here. Does the teacher want to see her?"
"That's right. Please invite Master Fushu to visit Cockcrow Temple."
Suchuan Yao quickly bandaged the wound of an injured person, earned some merit, and then went to the clinic to find the Taoist who could not save him.
The Huiminji Medical Center organized by Beijing just opened last month. Since its opening, it has been praised by the people for its low diagnosis and treatment fees and extremely low drug prices, which has made Suchuan Yao, who is practicing Gongde Liqihai, very popular.
With the harvest, coupled with the merit gained from the previous demolition of the Taoist fishing village, Suchuan Yao has cultivated its merit power and cultivated to the Taoist realm very quickly. It will soon reach perfection and prepare to become a Taoist priest.
Compared with Zhao Ran, Suchuan Yao is very happy to practice the "Innate Merit Sutra" because she does not have to be like Zhao Ran, who desperately pursues official duties in order to get the next chapter of the exercises. When she needs the next chapter of the exercises
, Just ask the teacher for Suchuan Medicine directly.
There was a long queue outside the clinic of Jimin Hui Medical Hall. People who couldn't afford a doctor came here. Even many wealthy families came here to seek medical treatment after hearing that the immortal master was here to consult. Of course, they also had to be old.
Just line up honestly.
Taoist Buju's fame in a short period of time is largely due to her midwifery skills. In the past few months, she has delivered babies to dozens of families with difficult births, with a success rate of 90% and saved more than 30 babies.
The life of a mother and her child.
When Suchuan Yao went in, Taoist Bujiu had just finished treating a patient, so he hurriedly conveyed the teacher's invitation to her.
Taoist Bujiu shook his head and said, "We don't have time. Haven't you seen there are so many patients outside the door? Let's wait until the diagnosis and treatment are completed."
Suchuan Yao had no choice but to reply to Zhao Ran that he would not save the Taoist. At the same time, he added that in the Huiminji Medical Hall, people were queuing up to wait for diagnosis and treatment.
It was almost evening, and Taoist Bujiu had just sent away the last patient. Zhao Ran turned his wheelchair by himself and came to see Taoist Bujiu.
"Why is the teacher here?"
"I've met Abbot Zhao."
"It's Pindao Menglang during the day, so I waited until now. Pindao has a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Bushu."
"Abbott, please speak."
"Sulfque Island, Taoist, do you know?"
Bujiu replied: "I've heard of it, but I've never been there. No one lives on the island permanently, so I didn't go because no one needed medical treatment."
Zhao Ran asked: "It is uninhabited? Which island owner does this island belong to?"
"There is no island owner. In fact, I heard that many people go to Sulfque Island to dig for spiritual sulfur and malachite, and then bring them to the Central Plains to sell..."
After chatting with Taoist Bujiu for a while, seeing that Taoist Bujiu didn't know much, Zhao Ran returned to Jiming Temple and browsed the list of monks again.
Afterwards, Zhao Ranfei asked Li Dayin: "Lao Li, where is that Wang Chengyu now?"
Li Dayin replied: "I'm back to Songjiang."
"When will he come back?"
"Whenever Zhiran needs him to come back to Beijing, he can come back to Beijing whenever he wants."
Hearing that Abbot Zhao wanted to see him, Wang Chengyu immediately rushed back from Songjiang and followed Li Dayin to Jiming Temple.
Zhao Ran asked: "Is Lao Li's injury healed? No longer in a wheelchair?"
Li Dayin smiled and said: "After sitting here for half a year, it has been adjusted long ago." After saying that, he gave way to the person behind him: "This is Wang Chengyu, a monk who has returned from overseas."
