Mei Yu'an sometimes cried bitterly in the wooden house, sometimes laughed, and seemed crazy. Zhao Ran walked out and walked slowly to the creek in the valley. He looked at the gurgling stream covered with white snow and remained silent for a long time.
Gu Kexue followed him and asked: "How to deal with it?"
Zhao Ran sighed: "It's difficult! Keep her. With her scheming and skills, she will be a hidden danger to Lou Guan. Kill her. She is actually a poor person. What do you think I should do? I don't know.
, I’m really in a dilemma! Let’s take custody first, let me think about it... I really have a headache..."
Zhao Ran left Dajun Mountain and continued to return to the capital to teach the Taoist priests in the ten directions of the capital. A few days later, Gu Kexue came to the capital with a look of shame on his face and reported to him: "Envoy of the Guard, my subordinates
Since I have been entrusted with the responsibility of the envoy of the guard, I would like to ask the envoy of the guard to bear the heavy responsibility."
Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "What happened?"
Gu Kexue said: "Gu Da and the others were not good at guarding, and Mei Yu'an ran away."
Zhao Ran asked: "How did you run away?"
Gu Kexue said: "Gu Da and the others have been slacking off in the past few days. The four brothers drank wine at night and had a few more drinks. When they woke up, they found that Mei Yu'an had run away. They rushed to Mei Yu'an's residence to search, and found out
The letter left on the table is addressed to Editor-in-Chief Yu, please ask the envoy to read it."
Zhao Ran took it and read it carefully, and saw that the letter said that because she heard that Yu Zhichuan was going to marry the eldest daughter of the Lu family in Deyouguan, Mei Yu'an felt very sad and did not want to stay anymore. She was determined to go away and start a new life.
A new life. She hoped that Yu Zhichuan would stop looking for her and stop causing trouble to her life. She would say goodbye forever and wish Yu Zhichuan and Lu Yuanyuan happiness.
After reading it, Zhao Ran asked: "Are you sure this was written by her?"
Gu Kexue said: "The envoy of the guard compared the letter she sent with this letter. It is clear at a glance whether it was written by her." After saying that, he took out the letters and let Zhao Ran read them.
After reading it, Zhao Ran asked: "Where has she gone? Can we find out?"
Gu Kexue said: "The world is vast, and she left no clues. Her subordinates are incompetent and really don't know how to investigate. However, during the two days of detention, Gu Da and the others heard her ask about the route across the mountain, but they did not answer.
I don’t know if she went there.”
Zhao Ran asked: "What should we do if she comes back?"
Gu Kexue shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. I heard that the Hengduan Mountains are very dangerous. How can a female cultivator in the Huangguan Realm get out so easily?"
Zhao Ran looked at the letter left by Mei Yu'an in his hand again, and said with emotion: "It's quite reasonable, anyway, the letter is for my second senior brother, please put it back."
Then he said: "You have worked hard this time, what are your wishes?"
Gu Kexue thought for a while and said: "My master and apprentice originally spent a lot of money to buy Shuangyu Island near Ling'ao Island from Taoist Wutong, but the matter later came to nothing..."
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Let me ask." He immediately flew to Qinzhou Port in Guangxi, and was transferred from the elder of Beidi Hall to Wang Shouyu, and then from Wang Shouyu to Tingfeng Taoist, and finally to Xiaoshan, which was entrusted to Ling'ao Island.
After some exchanges, Xiao Shan readily agreed to hand over Shuangyu Island to Master Gu Kexue. There were eighteen large and small islands in Ling'ao Island belonging to him. The sect that Xiao Shan separated from Dong Penglai Hall did not have enough manpower to enrich the new ones.
He was recruiting monks in the Ling'ao Mansion established by Zhao Ran. Of course he was happy to be a favor to Zhao Ran.
While accepting this favor from him, Zhao Ran also paid an island purchase fee of fifty thousand taels as a small compensation. Half an hour later, Shuangyu Island became the foundation for Gu Kexue's master and apprentice.
The five masters and apprentices were overjoyed, and Zhao Ran asked again: "Is there anyone you can trust to help you take care of Shuangyu Island?"
Gu Kexue thought for a while and said: "Originally, we planned to run Shuangyu Island together with Taoist Hongyou, but during the East China Sea War, these big maritime shopkeepers were captured by the inspection fleet, and we don't know where they are now."
Zhao Ran smiled half-heartedly: "Are you going to plead for him?"
Gu Kexue lowered his head: "I don't dare. My subordinates heard that he had a bad record and was not handed over to Dongji Pavilion after the war."
After the East China Sea War, the captured island owners and big shopkeepers of the pirate alliance were divided into three treatment methods. Exaggerated Ming and other nine people were imprisoned for life in Guyunjiao due to their daily evil deeds. Yan Dana and other three people had made major meritorious services.
were released and rewarded on the spot. Others, such as Yin Zhanlong and Hongyou Taoist, were among the pirates who fought bravely but had no obvious evil deeds. They were imprisoned by the inspection fleet at the Shengsi Island Fleet Base and sentenced to ten years each.
The years ranged from 1 to 30 years, and they atone for their sins by helping to train newly recruited sailors.
Taoist Hongyou belongs to the third category. Zhao Ran still remembers that his sentence was fifteen years, and he has only been imprisoned for less than two years.
Zhao Ran asked: "What does it have to do with you?"
Gu Kexue said: "We are sworn brothers. He runs a brothel business on the sea. His subordinate used to be a nunnery. It seems that we are compatible. After we met, we hit it off and we became friends."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "I can't help you with this matter. Don't say that I am no longer in my position. Even if I am in my position, I cannot let him go. If he behaves well, he may be able to reduce his sentence, but at most it will be reduced by one to
In three years, it depends on whether he has made any major meritorious service."
Gu Kexue sighed and said: "My subordinates understand that I dare not let the envoys mess with the law. But Taoist Hongyou has a concubine. After he entered the detention center of Shengsi Island, he never abandoned him and was still suffering.
Wait, she begged me to rescue Hongyou two months ago, and this girl is still waiting for news from me in the small street at the foot of Maharaja Mountain."
Zhao Ran said: "It can be considered affectionate and righteous."
Gu Kexue said: "But she has no qualifications and bones, so she can't practice. If possible, can you ask the guards to help guide her into Taoism? This woman is good at cooking and making a living, and her subordinates want her to be responsible for taking care of Shuangyu Island.
"
Zhao Ran can help with this, but instead of entering the visualization chart, he simply takes the opportunity to try out the seventh piece of the great forbidden art puzzle that he has obtained - the words are followed.
During the operation of Taoism, a sentence of judgment was generated in the air. Zhao Ran picked it up in his hand and asked Gu Kexue to fill in the woman's name, birth date and other information, and then wrote in the column of the sentence: With talent, you can practice.
.
The verdict rose into the sky and ignited spontaneously without fire. After burning, a little bit of white light disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and I don’t know where it flew to.
Zhao Ran said: "Within ten months, the results will be visible. Then you can just go and teach the exercises."
Gu Kexue looked curious and a little disbelieving, bowed and said: "Yes."
Zhao Ran didn't want to expose it. The day would come when their master and disciples would be shocked.
After the matter was settled, Zhao Ran continued to be busy. By the end of April, he finally introduced thousands of Taoist priests from Shifang Jungle in the capital to the threshold of practice. By now, he felt exhausted.
He originally thought he could take a break, but after returning to the mountain, he found a thick stack of invitations, all of which invited him to teach the Dharma.
Zhao Ran suddenly felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.
