ps: Thanks to Pink Gigolo, Qu Jinyuan for the reward, and thanks to Buffett for the monthly ticket encouragement. Today’s big chapter.
On September 30th, Zhao Ran rode an old donkey and returned to Wuji Mountain alone. It was early autumn, the leaves had turned yellow, the grass had withered, and the wind occasionally brought a chill that penetrated into the skin, making Zhao Ran suddenly feel
Desolation - perhaps this feeling is actually more mixed with emotions.
The market at the foot of the mountain was still lively, and the "Jinji Rice Shop" still had a high-profile appearance. Zhao Ran led the old donkey and walked slowly there. He happened to meet shopkeeper Jin instructing the handymen to carry vegetables and rice. Shopkeeper Jin suddenly turned around and saw Zhao.
However, he blinked his eyes unconsciously, and immediately trotted over in surprise, bowing his head and saying, "Dao Zhang Zhao, when did your old man come back? How could I not have heard of you? Oh my god, this is such a happy event!"
Zhao Ran helped shopkeeper Jin and said with a smile: "Old Jin, three months have passed by. Are you okay?"
"Thanks to the Taoist Priest, my body is strong and strong! It's just that the Taoist Priest looks a little thinner..."
"After I leave, will anyone in your business cause trouble for you?"
"The Daoist Priest is relieved that the villain was uprooted by the Taoist Priest. He doesn't dare to let anyone embarrass the villain. At the beginning, Zhang Ze, a layman of Huo Gong, wanted to give the villain's business to someone else, but Lord Jin and Master Guan were upright.
I always protected the villain, so I didn’t suffer much."
"You mean Jin Jiu and Brother Guan?"
"Yes, it all depends on the help of the two of them, otherwise the villain wouldn't be able to cope with it. But everything went fine later. I heard that the director of the room, Mr. Dong, was transferred, and Zhang Ze followed him and left our Wujiyuan..."
Zhao Ran suddenly became energetic and asked quickly: "Deacon Dong was transferred? Where did he go?"
"I don't know this."
"Who is the deacon in the room now?"
"I don't know very well. It seems that the room is still vacant and I don't know who will take it."
When Zhao Ran heard this, he didn't hesitate. He got on the old donkey and left. He came to the foot of the mountain and led the old donkey up to the mountain gate in one breath.
The person on duty at the mountain gate was the Huo Gong layman from the living room. Yu Zhiyuan, the guest in the living room, was very close to Zhao Ran, so the group of Huo Gong laymen were also very familiar with him. When they saw Zhao Ran coming back, they hurriedly came up to lead the old donkey and said,
He kept flattering: "I didn't expect Lord Jing to be back. Lord Jing must have made outstanding achievements during his trip to Baima Mountain, right? Lord Jing will have to reward me with a good drink when he comes back!"
Zhao Ran smiled and scolded these Huo Gong laymen, then asked about the situation in the courtyard, and then he had an idea.
Nowadays, among the eight deacons of Wujiyuan, Liu Zhiguang, the high-gong officer, Zhang Zhihuan, the inspector, Chen Zhizhong, the director, Jia Zhixun, the master of the house, Wu Zhiqing, the treasurer, and Qian Zhiwen, the accountant, are all there. The two deacons who are missing are the two deacons who know guests in the living room and welcome guests in the number room.
Both deacon seats are vacant, so this might be a good opportunity to gain a higher position.
Zhao Ran didn't rest either. Hearing that Song Zhiyuan, the supervisor, was in the courtyard, he went straight to the door.
Song Zhiyuan and patrol officer Zhang Zhihuan were talking in the house, and Zhao Ran stood waiting at the door. After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Zhihuan came out and saw Zhao Ran at a glance, and was immediately surprised: "Junior Brother Zhao? When did you come back?"
Zhao Ran said, "I've met the patrolling brother. I'm going back today. I came to see the prison first. Then I have to visit my senior brother. I wonder if he is free."
Zhang Zhihuan pulled Zhao Ran and said very enthusiastically: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk, why don't I just wait for you here, and after you see the prison, you can go to the inspection room with me to talk?"
Zhao Ran said: "That's fine, senior brother's residence is very big, so why not ask senior brother to prepare a table of food and drinks in the inspection room. Invite several other senior deacon brothers to gather together, and I will pay for the food."
Zhang Zhihuan waved his hand: "How much is it worth? How much does it cost for my junior brother? Then it's agreed, I'll go back and let the dining hall organize the food and drinks, and meet at my place in the evening!" After saying that, he left happily.
Song Zhiyuan had heard the commotion outside and came out to greet him in person. He pulled Zhao Ran and said, "Junior brother is back? He has been away for more than three months. I am worried about him very much! Come on, let me take a look. Well, although I am a little thinner,
But it’s a blessing to come back intact! How is Baima Mountain? How have you been these past few months? Come into the house and talk to me..."
The two entered the room and sat down, and Zhao Ran recounted his experience after leaving. Of course, his statement was consistent with what he said during the investigation at Baima Shang Camp. He did not refer to Zen Master Baoping, Zen Master Baoguang,
The matter of Ming Jing's death involves his own biggest secret, which must be concealed no matter what.
Song Zhiyuan knew the identity of Tong Lao and heard about Chang Wanzhen's deeds, but he didn't know the origin of Zhu Qigu. After hearing Zhao Ran's introduction, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. Hearing that Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze came from Bayanka
When La Shan fled all the way back to Baima Mountain, he specifically asked Pei Zhongze who he was. Zhao Ran had only a partial understanding of this, but it did not prevent him from telling the truth that "Master Qingyun Pavilion personally came to take Pei Zhongze back to the mountain." Song Zhiyuan
There was another twitch on the face.
When Zhao Ran mentioned that Master Chu had given him the Bone-Removing Pill, Song Zhiyuan was completely speechless. He kept sighing secretly in his heart: Zhao Ran is really lucky! However, Zhao Ran failed to take the Bone-Removing Pill, which made Song Zhiyuan confused.
He breathed a sigh of relief to some extent, and involuntarily felt more comfortable in his heart, but he said comfortingly: "Junior brother Zhao, don't be discouraged, maybe it will take some time for the effect of your medicine to appear. Senior brother, I have also heard that there is a Taoist sect senior
Taking it at first was ineffective, but later on I gradually gained access to spiritual practice."
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "Brother from the prison, don't comfort me. There are so many good things that have happened to me. There is only one such example. I am not so lucky."
Song Zhiyuan said: "Junior brother Zhao is so close to the Great Master Refiner of Chu. Even if he cannot enter the Tao this time, if he can ask the Great Master Refiner to give him a bone-dispersing pill next time, he might be able to do so."
Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the story: "The great master was seriously injured and has gone to southern Xinjiang to look for opportunities to heal his injuries. I don't know when he will be able to come back."
Song Zhiyuan quickly asked what happened, and Zhao Ran told him everything he knew. Song Zhiyuan listened in silence.
Zhao Ran again talked about Yu Zhiyuan's bone reshaping, and Song Zhiyuan said: "Jade Emperor Pavilion has sent an official letter regarding this matter. Master Yuanda personally accepted him as his disciple. The day before yesterday, he asked Dian Zaofang to transfer his files and records.
The items left in the courtyard were sent over. Junior Brother Yu came from my Wuji Academy. If he succeeds in his practice in the future, he will definitely take good care of my Wuji Academy. Speaking of which, in the future, Junior Brother Zhao, you may not be the second Yu.
Junior brother."
After talking for a while, Zhao Ran took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Song Zhiyuan: "Brother from the prison, these are the three black ginseng pills I got from my brother. The effect is no worse than Yangxin Pills, or even better. I'm sorry to offend my brother.
By the way, senior brother is not young now, and now he is the master of Wujiyuan. All trivial matters need to be taken care of by senior brother. I am afraid that senior brother is not able to keep an eye on him. Senior brother, please put these three black ginseng pills away. If you feel really tired one day,
Yes, take one pill and the effect will be immediate!"
Song Zhiyuan was overjoyed. Although he had never heard of Wushen Pills, the name of Yangxin Pills was well known. It was the "elixir" taken by practitioners in Guange! Don't look at Zhao Ran who has been taking Yangxin Pills and Wushen Pills in the past few months.
Ginseng pills are the same as eating jelly beans, but Zhao Ran's situation cannot be judged by common sense. Song Zhiyuan cannot get these pills at will. If it is true as Zhao Ran said, the efficacy of Wushen pills is comparable to Yangxin pills -
- He felt that judging from Zhao Ran's "background", this sentence should be true, so these three black ginseng pills are definitely a hard-to-find good thing, and can even save lives at critical moments.
When giving gifts to others, one must ask for something. Since Zhao Ran gave such an expensive gift, the next request must not be easy to satisfy. However, Song Zhiyuan hesitated for a long time. Finally he gritted his teeth and took the three black ginseng pills. At this moment, he
I have made up my mind. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help Zhao Ran get what he wants!
Zhao Ran had no intention of making his own request on the spot. Doing so would have too strong traces of the transaction and would make people feel uncomfortable. But he wanted to leave, but Song Zhiyuan refused. Just kidding, if you are so hung up and don't explain clearly, I
I can't sleep well at night. Please make your request clear first. If it can be done, I will have a good night's sleep. If it can't be done, I will return the black ginseng pills to you now. Anyway, don't let Pindao's heart hang in the air.
If you can't get up or down, you can't stand this excitement.
Well, since Song Zhiyuan insisted again and again, Zhao Ran simply made his purpose clear.
"Senior Brother Supervisor, Senior Brother Yu went to Yuhuang Pavilion, and I heard that Deacon Dong was also transferred. In this way, does Wuji Yuan have two deacons vacant?"
Song Zhiyuan's expression froze, and he smiled dryly: "Junior brother Zhao is really eager to make progress..."
Zhao Ran pretended not to hear the teasing in Song Zhiyuan's words and smiled without saying a word.
Song Zhiyuan added: "Junior Brother Zhao moved to the position of Jingzhu of Sutra Hall in June, right? It's only been more than three months now..."
Zhao Ran still didn't speak, just staring at Song Zhiyuan. Song Zhiyuan sighed and had to clarify: "Junior brother Zhao, I don't know why you are so eager? To be honest, your request is really difficult to handle. It's not me, senior brother.
I am not willing to help, and I am very optimistic about my junior brother, but...isn't three months too short? I remember when you were cleaning the dormitory, I allowed you to move to the clean room, but you gave up the opportunity
I gave it to Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. I was very moved by this move. All the colleagues in the courtyard praised you for your ancient benevolent style. Then you entered the dining room and then received the ultimatum. Everyone in the courtyard was dissatisfied. It was because of this.
It was because of your humility that day. This year, there was a major adjustment in our Wuji Academy. You also made great efforts and recommended Ma Zhili. Fang Zhihe and others were promoted at the same time. Therefore, although you were promoted too quickly and were promoted to Jingzhu, there was no one left.
Objection. Therefore, senior brother, I really can’t figure out why you are so eager this time. If you have any difficulties, ask your senior brother for details. Maybe senior brother can help. But if you ask for the position directly, I am afraid that the public will criticize you. Not only
If things are difficult to accomplish, my senior brother and I will also be criticized."
Zhao Ran took a deep breath and sighed: "Brother, forgive me, junior brother, I do have some last resort difficulties, but I can't express my difficulties to others. I also know that I was a little too hasty, but... this matter is unthinkable, I can only do my best.
for."
Song Zhiyuan did not give up and continued to persuade: "Junior brother, it's hard to say, and I won't ask, but is it really that urgent? Can't you wait for some time? Senior brother, I promise, it will only take three to five years, no, two years, two years."
I will teach my disciples how to get what they want."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "I really can't wait any longer."
"Junior brother, even if you are really promoted, have you ever thought about the consequences? How will your colleagues in the courtyard view you?"
"Senior brother, I know it's definitely not appropriate to do this, but I really can't care less..."
Seeing that Zhao Ran couldn't make sense, Song Zhiyuan felt a little angry. He wanted to push back Zhao Ran's inappropriate thoughts, but he was reluctant to break the strong relationship that he had finally established with Zhao Ran, a person with a profound background. Of course, even more so
Reluctant to part with the three black ginseng pills, he hesitated for a moment and simply said: "Junior Brother Zhao, in that case, I will tell you clearly. There is a vacancy in the guest room, and Xizhenwu Palace has already chosen a candidate. Our old prison guard, Senior Brother Zhong, spoke through the message
Come on, the job of knowing guests will be assigned from outside."
"What about the guests in room number?" Zhao Ran asked.
"Junior brother Jia Zhisun has been the master of Fangtang for thirteen years, and now he is also a man who knows destiny. He came to me a few days ago and told me that he wanted to make some preparations for his future descent, and asked our old abbot to send a message.
I have promised him..."
"It doesn't matter, after Senior Brother Jia went to the room, the vacant position of Fangtang Master...?"
Song Zhiyuan was surprised and said: "Junior Brother Zhao, have you thought about it clearly? Although the Fang Master is also the eighth deacon, his future is definitely not good. Not to mention that he is not as good as the receptionist in the number room, and even in the position of Jingzhu that you currently occupy,
Even though he is lower than the Fang Master, he is a serious and upright person in the Sutra Hall. He is higher than the Fang Master, and his future will be absolutely immeasurable. To exchange the Jing Master for the Fang Master...I really don’t know what you think."
After Zhao Ran left Wujiyuan, he interacted with practitioners such as Tong Baimei, Zhu Qigu, Chang Wanzhen, and Pei Zhongze. He had personally seen and experienced various battles in the practice world. At this moment, he was particularly eager to correct his roots.
, what he needs is to be promoted immediately and be able to practice immediately, regardless of whether the position is noble or not, and he can't wait for three or five years, so he answered Song Zhiyuan's question with certainty: "Senior brother Song, don't worry, as long as you can be promoted,
Junior brother, I will never regret it!"
Song Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time, and was silent again. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
