Zhao Ran wanted to do something good to prove the practice of "merit power", but Guan Er tried his best to refuse, saying that everything was going well for him and there were no problems that Zhao Ran needed to help solve for the time being. Although Guan Er was a martial artist in the escort agency, he also
It’s not that he is ignorant, he also knows the difficulty of asking for help. How can he ask Zhao Ran for trivial matters? Of course he will have things that need Zhao Ran’s help, but not now.
Zhao Ran's "good intentions" did not receive a response, so he had to think of other ways.
When he originally chose Fang Hall Fang Master as a breakthrough point to complete his promotion, Zhao Ran had already made up his mind to be lazy. His plan was to leave everything to Hall Master Jiang and calm down to practice by himself. But now it seems that the plan
If I can't keep up with the changes, it seems that I won't have much chance to enjoy leisure in the future.
Although the Fangtang is the only force that the Taoist temple can command, and everyone is a martial artist, the real person in charge is the "weak" Taoist priest. Not to mention the previous head of the Fangtang, Jia Zhisun, who was born as a Taoist boy in the Jingtang.
He has no physical strength, and the same is true for the current head of the Hall of Management, Jiang Zhiheng. He is just younger, because he has been running around all year round, and he is physically strong, but he also has no effort.
If we really want to talk about it, Zhao Ran is probably the most capable one among all the Fangtang masters (together with the stewards) of Wujiyuan in recent decades or even a century. But if you want to fight against the twenty or so inspectors under Fangtang’s command,
In a one-on-one duel, without the use of magic circles or talismans, he will still be knocked down directly in a few or two moves. But who makes these patrols all fire workers? No matter how good their martial arts are, they can only follow orders.
When the hall master Jiang Zhiheng was promoted from the Taoist boy of the Jingtang to the master of the Fangtang Hall, Zhao Ran had not yet come to this world, so his qualifications were much more senior than Zhao Ran. It only took seven or eight years. Jiang Zhiheng was still the hall master and had just started.
In less than three years, Zhao Ran has already climbed onto his head. It is impossible to say that he is not aggrieved, not to mention that Zhao Ran snatched the position of Fang Master from him.
Because he often patrols various parts of the county, Jiang Zhiheng has rarely interacted with Zhao Ran, but he has also heard about Zhao Ran's promotion experience and knows that this newcomer to the Taoist sect, who is more than ten years younger than him, seems to have a good background. He has always
He can't say he has a good impression of Zhao Ran, nor can he say he has a dislike for him. To him, "Zhao Jingzhu" is just a passerby, who has nothing to do with his life, so he doesn't care at all. But he didn't expect this person to be quiet.
The leader is not the right one, and he has to come to compete with him for the leader. This is quite depressing.
At first, Jiang Zhiheng took advantage of his seniority and complained everywhere. He went to his old boss Jia Zhisun, begged Chen Zhizhong, the new Dianzi, and visited the courtyard of Sandu.
The colder my heart becomes, the more timid and timid I become, and finally I quit, close my eyes and accept my fate.
Although he was still unhappy, when Zhao Ran invited him to meet in the Fangtang courtyard, he still had to come to listen and report to Zhao Ran. Of course, he shrunk in reporting many things.
Zhao Ran also felt Jiang Zhiheng's unhappiness. But he didn't care. The two of them were pursuing different things. There was no need to appease each other too much - just be honest. It doesn't matter whether you listen or not. Just don't affect my practice.
.Furthermore, I have already snatched the position of Fangzhu. If I deliberately put down my posture and show off, the contradiction may not be eliminated, and I may be looked down upon by others.
After listening to Jiang Zhiheng's report, Zhao Ran almost had a clear understanding of the situation in Fangtang.
There are a total of twenty-two people in the Wujiyuan Fangtang. Except for him and Jiang Zhiheng, the other twenty people are all fire workers. There is a name in the Fangtang called inspection. According to the rules of the Taoist sect, the inspection responsibilities mainly include two
On the one hand, the first is to ensure the safety of the Taoist temple, and the second is to investigate the "grievances" among the people.
The first responsibility is easy to understand, which is to ensure the safety of Wujiyuan, Wuji Mountain, and the Taoist properties, including the personal safety of the forest farm and even the Taoist priests, etc.
In the second duty, the "injustice" among the people does not refer to the injustice suffered by the people, but refers specifically to the "evils and evil spirits". In other words, all demons and ghosts that harass the people fall within the scope of Fangtang's inspection - including "Buddhist"
"Monk"! After the investigation, those who can be dealt with will be dealt with by themselves. Those that cannot be dealt with will be reported to the Taoist Palace in the mansion, and the Taoist Palace will contact the monks in the palace to eradicate them.
Zhao Ran asked about the general situation, and Jiang Zhiheng answered casually, and he was convinced. He also noticed a special handling method, that is, if Fang Tang encountered an emergency and had no time to notify the superior Taoist palace, he could
Contact Daomen Walking directly.
Zhao Ran was very interested in this and asked: "How can I contact him?"
Jiang Zhiheng replied: "Use the messenger talisman."
"Where's the messenger talisman?"
"Well, it was originally kept by Lord Jiang, but Lord Jiang rarely goes down the mountain and often sits in the courtyard, so he gave it to me for safekeeping."
The meaning of "sitting in the courtyard" is another way of saying "being lazy". It seems that Jiang Zhiheng was bullied by Jia Zhixun so much that he basically had to do all the hard work.
"How many are there?"
"There is only one. After you use it, go to Daomen Walk to replenish another one."
Zhao Ran immediately stretched out his hand: "Brother Jiang, give it to me. Junior brother, I am young. I will go down the mountain and walk around more in the future. Senior brother can sit in the courtyard."
Jiang Zhiheng's face immediately turned ugly - although walking down the mountain is hard work, at least you can get some extra money. You, Zhao, are not only robbing me of my seat, but you are also robbing me of this extra money! If you are unhappy, you will be unhappy. Zhao Ran's request is justified. Jiang Zhiheng
He had no choice but to hand over the communication talisman from his arms.
Zhao Ran played with this talisman and asked: "Who is the Taoist walking in Huayun Pavilion now?"
"These are Taoist priests Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi."
They are acquaintances, Zhao Ran thought. He wanted to find an opportunity to let them show him whether the bone was straightened or not.
"Okay, Senior Brother Jiang has worked hard, let's go back and rest. Today I will go down the mountain for a walk to familiarize myself with the people of Guyang County... Hmm? Senior Brother Jiang, is there anything else?"
"Uh, no, then, Master Fang, be careful when going down the mountain."
Looking at Jiang Zhiheng's leaving figure, Zhao Ran nodded. Although this guy was dissatisfied - which is completely understandable, at least he was decent on the surface and not a fool. This could be seen just from the name he called Zhao Ran.
.Zhao Ran called him "Senior Brother Jiang", which was out of respect for him, but he did not call him "Junior Brother Zhao", but still called Zhao Ran "Master Fang", which showed that at least he knew the rules.
The twenty inspectors in Fangtang were divided into ten groups, and they took turns going down the mountain on weekdays. Zhao Ran didn't know these people very well, so he just ordered Guan Er's group, made some preparations, and left Wujiyuan.
Guan Er's partner is named Lu Jin. He is in his forties and has a full beard. The Thirteen Hands Iron Fist technique is said to be a family tradition of martial arts. He is also considered the number one figure in Guyang County. He is tall and strong, and like Guan Er
The difference seemed to be that the two of them followed Zhao Ran like two iron towers, which made Zhao Ran quite satisfied.
The two of them each took a bay-red horse from the stable, while Zhao Ran took his old donkey, and the three of them went down Wuji Mountain together.
Needless to say, Zhao Ran's appearance on the donkey was very unsightly when compared with Guan Er and Lu Jin's majestic style on horseback, which made Lu Jin secretly laugh. But on the way down the mountain, Lu Jin found that he was riding a donkey.
No matter how hard he worked secretly, the big maroon horse always hung behind the old donkey, and he never dared to move even half a step ahead. Lu Jin was very surprised, so he found an opportunity to explore the way ahead, but
However, the bay red horse refused to cooperate at all, and even almost knocked him off the horse when Lu Jin whipped his riding whip hard.
Zhao Ran smoothed the old donkey's hair and said with a smile: "Brother donkey, don't lose your temper. Let me take a few steps first and then go back down the mountain to give you a drink."
The old donkey made a sound of "arrogance" and shook its neck at the bay-red horse behind him. The bay-red horse seemed to have received an amnesty and galloped away with Lu Jin in front of him, leaving Lu Jin on the horse in shock.
Guan Er hurriedly said: "Master Fang, don't blame Lao Lu, he has a straight temper..."
Zhao Ran smiled: "I'm not that big-hearted... When can I get to the inn?"
"Two hours at most, I can arrive before dinner."
"Very well, Brother Guan, let's hurry up and have dinner early, then continue on the road and try to rest in the mountains."
"Master Fang...you mean to stay in the mountains? Not at the inn?"
"Where are the monsters at the inn? We are going to the mountains to catch monsters, and of course we have to go into the mountains overnight!"
After hearing this, Guan Er shrank his neck and said to himself: "You old man, you are not serious, are you?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
