When Zhao Zhixing went to Wuji Academy for training, he held the position of Zhike. At that time, Zhao Ran was launching the vigorous youth money reform, and he was extremely busy all day long, so he didn't have much contact with Zhao Zhixing.
This Zhao Zhixing is also a sensible person. He basically doesn't give any advice on general affairs, and just does things to welcome people and send them off. He won't offend anyone and won't be offended by others.
If they had not had a long talk when welcoming Zhang Yunzhao, the supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace, they might have become strangers.
After Zhang Jianyuan's death, Zhao Zhixing used some tricks to transfer back to Xuanyuan Temple before Wujiyuan could be held accountable, thus escaping a disaster. Song Zhiyuan, who was worried at the time, was very unhappy with his move, but Zhao Zhixing However, I understand very well that it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. If you have the ability to avoid it, why should you wait stupidly to be punished together?
Zhao Zhixing, the doorman of the living room, came forward, so there was no need for Zhao Ran to wait here. Zhao Zhixing accompanied him inside while introducing the general view of Xuanyuan Temple.
"This is the first hall," Zhao Zhixing pointed to the tall and crowded hall outside the Moon Gate: "The front is dedicated to the God of Cai Zhao, and the inside is dedicated to the real person Cihang. This is also where the incense in my Xuanyuan Temple is most prosperous."
Zhao Ran nodded: "With the God of Wealth here, it's natural for the gods to step in and make way for the real person Cihang."
Zhao Zhixing smiled and said: "What senior brother said makes sense."
The second most important hall is dedicated to the Five Mountains Father-in-law Ning Feng Zhenjun and the Great Heavenly Master Du Guangting. Ning Feng Zhenjun was granted the title by the Yellow Emperor and lived on Qingcheng Mountain. He was in charge of the gods of the Five Mountains and Hundreds of Rivers. The god of the Five Mountains is the Five Mountains Father-in-law, and the Zhangren Peak is also here. The name means a great man, not an in-law for future generations. The name of Mr. Guangcheng, Du Guangting, should not be too familiar to Zhao Ran. At that time, he and Song Zhiyuan also compiled a volume written by Du Guangting himself. "The Story of Encounters with the Immortals" was given to Baidu Guan of Xizhenwu Palace, and the plaque with the title at the gate of Wujiyuan is still written by Du Guangting.
There is nothing to say about the third major palace, Sanqing Palace and 90% of Taoist palaces will have it.
Looking at the majestic momentum of the three major halls and the throngs of pilgrims, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little envious, secretly thinking that if Junshan Temple had such an atmosphere, I don't know how much merit I would earn.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Just now did I hear two lay pyrotechnicians at the door calling Senior Brother Song on patrol?"
Zhao Zhixing said with envy: "Yes, in the past few years in Xuanyuan Guan, Senior Brother Song has been hard-working and promising, courageous in taking on tasks, and has been well-received by the public. Last year, he moved to the Dian Building, and at the beginning of this year, he moved to the patrol hall. Everyone in the Guan said that Song Senior brother is indeed a well-established figure in the county below, and he is proficient in general affairs..."
This really gave Zhao Ran a surprise. He remembered that Song Zhiyuan must be fifty years old. He originally thought that he would come to Xuanyuan Temple to provide for his retirement. Unexpectedly, he took a big step forward. It was like "the dead wood has come back to life again." "Ah! Does this count as a second political life? At the moment, I was thinking secretly, if Song Zhiyuan helped, would it be difficult to go to another county to serve as the third capital of the county court?
I'm thinking again, which house should I go to, Baoning Prefecture or Tongchuan Prefecture? But I still have to think of a way. It's best to just put up a name, otherwise how can I be willing to hand over Junshan Temple? If it really doesn't work, I have to think of a way. Zhe, let Jin Jiu be the temple minister of Junshan, only then can you protect your base!
While he was thinking wildly, the dormitory arrived. Zhao Zhixing smiled and motioned to Zhao Ran to wait a moment before he knocked on the door and entered.
After a while, Song Zhiyuan ran out of the house. When he saw Zhao Ran at the door, he paused and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Zhao Ran said: "Brother, I came to see you. You have a lot of gray hair on your head..."
Song Zhiyuan grabbed Zhao Ran and pulled him into the room. Zhao Ran saw seven or eight people standing in Nuo Da's room, some holding books, some holding pens and papers, and some sitting and waiting...
Song Zhiyuan said: "I'm sorry, everyone, please go back. We'll talk about anything tomorrow. My junior brother is here and there are some important things here."
These people were busy laughing and exiting the room. Some people murmured: "Who is this little Taoist priest? He is so arrogant that Inspector Song even avoids guests."
"Didn't you hear? Song Xunzhao's junior brother... maybe he was the junior brother of Wuji Academy back then..."
"Didn't you see? That is the Immortal Master! Two flames mark, the Taoist priest of Huayun Pavilion!"
"I see!"
"No wonder Song Xunzhao can be a patrol inspector. I also heard that he has a niece who is also an immortal master in the pavilion..."
Not to mention what was said outside, Song Zhiyuan pressed Zhao Ran on the chair and wanted to make tea himself. Zhao Zhixing quickly took over the task of making tea. The three of them sat across from each other and started chatting.
Song Zhiyuan said: "Last year I wrote to Wujiyuan and asked Luo Duguan about your situation. I said that you went to serve in the White Horse Mountain Army... What happened? Come and see, this robe is amazing.
, I haven’t seen you for four years, and my junior brother is already a cultivator among the gods..."
Zhao Ran chuckled and briefly talked about what happened in the past few years. The focus was on the experience of Huayun Hall, how he received the incarnation, how to practice, etc. He also mentioned a few things about his so-called service in the White Horse Mountain Army.
His eloquence was good, and his words were fascinating. Song Zhiyuan was just fine with it, but Zhao Zhixing, who was already fascinated by the place of the pavilion, was fascinated by it.
After talking for a long time, Song Zhiyuan patted his forehead: "As we get older, people become confused. Junior Brother Zhixing, hurry up and book a table at the market. Let's have a drink today."
Zhao Zhixing smiled and said: "Senior Brother Patrol, I have asked them to order it a long time ago."
So the three of them changed out of their Taoist robes and put on their regular clothes, then left Xuanyuan Temple and found a restaurant in the market outside the temple. Zhao Zhixing was obviously a regular visitor here and was very familiar with the shopkeeper, so they went into the innermost private room while chatting and joking.
As soon as we sat down, the waiters in the restaurant passed the dishes in and laid out a large table full of dishes.
Song Zhiyuan took out a jar of wine from the cabinet behind him, opened the mud seal, and filled it with his own hands. The three of them drank it all in one gulp. They all said that the wine was really good. The food tasted good too. Gao Dao of Xuanyuan Temple treated the guests to dinner.
Do the masters in the industry dare not work hard?
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Song Zhiyuan asked Zhao Ran about the reason for his visit. Zhao Ran did not hide anything. He told his thoughts and asked: "I wonder, senior brother, can you help me here?"
Zhao Zhixing wondered: "Senior brother, you are already a monk at Huayun Pavilion. It doesn't matter what kind of temple you go to when you have time. Why don't you just wholeheartedly seek immortality? Junior brother, I really don't understand this."
Zhao Ran said: "There are thousands of ways, and I choose one of them. My way is to do more things and do some good things for the people. In fact, only in this way can we have clear thoughts and make diligent cultivation. Other people practice the way of transcending the world. I
You are practicing the way of joining the world, and there is nothing you can do about it."
