Is Wang Jingyun so easy to talk to? Or do you want to ask for something else?
Zhao Ran waited for the other party to make a request, but until he left, he didn't see the other party start a new topic, so he could only go down to Maoshan suspiciously.
When going down the mountain, Zhao Ran happened to meet Pan Jinniang. The two looked at each other and turned their heads, pretending that they had not seen her.
Just five days later, Wang Zongyi sent an official document in the name of the Civilized City Creation Activities Evaluation Committee, proposing rectification requirements for the eighteen counties in South Zhili that were rated as unqualified in the creation activities. The rectification situation will be
An evaluation will be conducted after two months.
This was done according to Zhao Ran's suggestion, and Shangyuan and Jiang Ning immediately started to put things in order.
By the middle of the month, Zhao Ran received news from "Junshan Notes" and "Inside and Outside the Imperial City" at the same time. Pan Hengyue, the Celestial Master who attacked the Hedao realm in Maoshan Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, successfully came out of seclusion and advanced to Hedao. His great Celestial Master granted him the
The grand ceremony will be held in Lushan Mountain at the end of the month. Senior practitioners above the Grand Master level are sincerely invited to attend the ceremony in Lushan Mountain.
Pan Hengyue is the father of Pan Yangshou, the great alchemist in charge of the Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace. He is the one with the highest cultivation among the three alchemists in Maoshan. Among the alchemists in the world, his cultivation and fighting skills are tied with Pan Ruizhu of Helin Pavilion and Zhang Yangming of Longhu Mountain.
.
Just two years after Pan Ruizhu entered Hedao, Pan Hengyue immediately crossed the most difficult threshold in the world. For today's Taoists, this is an extremely rare and great thing.
In the past ten years, Master Zhang Da, Patriarch Longyang ascended, and Master Shao passed away. The Taoist sect has lost three Hedao in a row, and they are the three most experienced and capable Hedao. This kind of loss is really too huge, and it has no impact on the maintenance and
The relative balance of power among the Buddhist countries is extremely unfavorable.
Fortunately, Pan Ruizhu and Pan Hengyue came up to the top, which largely made up for some of the losses of the Taoist sect. Next, the eyes of the world were focused on Longhu Mountain, hoping that Zhang Yangming could achieve the same success.
Pan Hengyue's ceremony for the conferment of the Great Celestial Master also invited the heads of several spiritual institutions in Beijing to participate, including Chaotian Palace, Xianling Palace and Lingji Palace (the idea of the upper three palaces has been abolished), including Cock Cry Temple
, Yuanfu Palace and Lecture Hall.
Li Dayin Feifu asked Zhao Ran how he should respond to the invitation. Zhao Ran was very hesitant. He was actually willing to go and see in person what it would be like to spend 72 million credits on the conferment, but after hesitating for a moment, he still chose
gave up.
Anyway, I have had the experience of being annulled, and I was always embarrassed after going there, so I replied: "I haven't recovered yet, so I won't travel far away. Besides, with my current injury, I can't directly bear the burden of being a great monk in the Hedao realm."
Because of the pressure, I plan to refuse Zong Guan’s invitation.”
Li Dayin praised: "This is a good idea, but my injury has not healed, so I won't go!"
Li Dayin didn't go because he really didn't want to praise Maoshan's feet. Last year, it was Sima Tianshi who was the first to suggest that his family's Yuanfu Palace should be taken away, and he still went to congratulate him? That would be too weak.
But his reason for asking for leave was too simple and rude. Zhao Ran could give the excuse for the injury, but it was not appropriate for Li Dayin to say it. He was injured by Qiu Yunqing of Dongji Pavilion, and Zhenshitang had already punished him for it. At this moment
If he still insists on being injured, he is clearly dissatisfied with the treatment of Zhenshitang.
Zhao Ran suggested: "It's inappropriate for both of us to talk about injuries. It seems that we have already discussed it. If you really don't want to go, just take the time to leave Beijing and find an excuse. Just say that you are busy outside and can't come back.
,This is better than saying you are injured."
Li Dayin Feifu said: "That's okay, why don't I go to Zhoushan and wait. After all, Pan Hengyue will be buried at the end of this month, and Wang Chengyu will have been out to sea for a month. He said it himself, he will go out to sea from Zhoushan and sail directly to Shanque Island.
It only takes about 40 to 50 days to go back and forth, that’s about right, I’ll just pick up the fleet in advance!”
Zhao Ran said: "Then why don't you do me another favor? I'll ask you to patrol the coasts of Zhoushan and other places on my behalf and strictly investigate smuggling. How about that?"
Li Dayin immediately said: "That's better!"
The Great Celestial Master Conferment Ceremony held by the Zhenshi Hall for Pan Hengyue was solemn and grand. It is said that nearly a thousand Taoist monks attended the ceremony, which exceeded Pan Ruizhu's consecration ceremony the year before. It is no wonder that the Taoist sect is in great need of new Hedao realm monks.
To support the situation, Pan Hengyue's successful breakthrough is undoubtedly a booster for the overall morale of the Taoist monks.
Zhao Ran also listened to Lu Xixing, who came back from the ceremony, and said that during the ceremony, he could faintly hear the singing of the fairy, and the 72 million credit points turned into a rainbow light and jumped into the sky, making people yearn for the upper world.
But Lu Xixing also said something bitter about Maoshan, saying that these days, Master Sima is very proud of himself in the True Master Hall, and everyone on Maoshan is so arrogant that it makes people want to laugh.
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "The appearance of great monks in the Hedao Realm is a major event that has not happened in Maoshan Mountain for a hundred years. Now they can finally call themselves disciples of Sanshan."
Regardless of whether Zhao Ran and Lu Xixing were bitter or not, Pan Hengyue's alliance was indeed crucial to the Taoist sect. According to Lu Xixing, the movement in Beiyuan, Xixia and Tubo suddenly decreased a lot, and the tension on the border suddenly calmed down.
At this moment, Zhao Ran received Li Dayin's flying talisman: "Zhi Ran, our fleet is gone!"
Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "All four ships are gone?"
Li Dayin said: "Only one came back, the other three are gone. It was Ling'ao Island that did it, Zhiran, we want revenge!"
Zhao Ran quickly replied: "Don't worry, talk carefully. Is Wang Chengyu back?"
Li Dayin said: "He is back. What a blessing among misfortunes. We will respond immediately. You are waiting at Cockcrow Temple!"
Li Dayin and Wang Chengyu returned on the Sanmao Pavilion's flying magic weapon - the Infinite Rosette. They set off in the afternoon and rushed back to Yingtian in more than an hour, landing directly in front of Jingyang Tower in Jiming Temple.
Wang Chengyu's face was haggard. He was supported by Li Dayin. He coughed while getting down from the rosette, and sat down in the chair, leaning on the back of the chair weakly.
Zhao Ran quickly ordered the kitchen to bring food and gave Wang Chengyu a full meal. Seeing that he had calmed down a little, he asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Chengyu lamented and said: "This trip is not going well and it is a disgrace to the mission."
Li Dayin said angrily: "The people from Ling'ao Island met the fleet on the sea route, checked the passing ships, and insisted on paying the flag fee."
Zhao Ran asked: "What is the flag fee?"
Li Dayin said: "Ling'ao Island has started to set up cards on the sea road. If you don't pay, you will rob the ship on the spot! These pirates are really lawless!"
Li Dayin only listened to what Wang Chengyu and a few returning sailors said, so he couldn't explain clearly. It was Wang Chengyu who told the whole story.
"I have never heard of flag fees before. I have only been ashore and retired for less than a year, and there have been so many chaos at sea. I really can't imagine it."
