Liu Zhiguang looked at Zhao Ran and couldn't help but be stunned: "Junior brother Zhao, you have such a beard..."
Zhao Ran touched his newly grown hair, which was no more than an inch long, and said awkwardly: "Well, I've been a bit angry recently. I was fighting with others and accidentally got my beard heated."
Liu Zhiguang laughed: "Junior brother Zhao is an immortal master, and I am so envious... By the way, I heard that I arrived at Guyang County yesterday, why don't you go up the mountain? Senior brother, I was waiting here early in the morning."
Chen Zhizhong also said: "Junior brother looks good today. It can be seen that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. I am not deceiving you. If you dare to call me junior brother again today, you will not dare to call me that way tomorrow. Haha!"
Zhang Zhihuan smiled and came forward to greet him: "Long time no see, how is Junior Brother Zhao always?"
Zhao Ran clasped his fists and bowed his head, bowing deeply to everyone: "Zhao Zhiran has met all the brothers and sisters. He arrived late last night, so he rested in the city for fear of disturbing everyone's rest. However, everyone was worried about it. It was Zhao Zhiran's fault. I didn't expect to be alarmed.
Everyone went down the mountain to greet us, they were really frightened and frightened!"
Liu Zhiguang took the lead and led Zhao Ran up the steps, with the rest of the people crowding behind him.
Zhao Ran took the time to greet everyone one by one, and basically no one was left behind. Everyone who came down the mountain to greet them felt the kindness and respect in Zhao Ran's words. Especially the newcomers, most of whom had heard the names for a long time.
I came over to meet him out of curiosity. At this moment, I realized that the rumors were indeed true. This Zhao Miaozhu was really a person. When I got along with him, I felt like I was in the spring breeze.
Most of the people who were able to come down the mountain to wait for him early in the morning were the ones he had formed certain friendships with in the Wuji Courtyard. Needless to say, the first few deacons were followed by Ma Zhili, the head of the living room, and Fang Zhihe, the master of the sutra hall.
He was acquainted with his classmates when he was studying the classics, and it was because of him that he assumed the current Taoist position. People such as Mo Zhixing also benefited from his operations and moved to the lucrative treasury.
Although these people did not help Zhao Ran when he was squeezed out and in trouble, and some even deliberately alienated him, Zhao Ran didn't mind it very much. It is human nature to protect oneself wisely. If you are not tough, don't blame others for not helping.
You, no one owes you anything by nature. On the other hand, as long as Zhao Ran can be tough himself, these people will become his foundation for establishing a solid foothold in Wujiyuan, so he will try his best to win over them.
Chen Zhizhong felt a little guilty because of his ability to serve both sides, and felt that he had fallen into the third position, so Zhao Ran was surrounded by Liu Zhiguang and Zhang Zhihuan.
Zhang Zhihuan still remembers that he was the one who handled the admission procedures for this ragged young man. Eight years later, he has reached where he is today. It is really unbelievable and a bit embarrassing.
When I was in a trance, I suddenly heard Zhao Ranchong say to himself: "I still remember that when I entered Wuji Academy, it was Senior Brother Zhang who personally helped me register and take care of me. After that, I took care of me a lot. This feeling and scene are still fresh in my memory."
With just one sentence, Zhang Zhihuan's discomfort was immediately wiped away, and he said with emotion: "It's still the result of Junior Brother Zhao's own efforts to make progress. The so-called cone is in the bag, and it can't be buried anywhere."
Liu Zhiguang laughed at the side and said: "Senior Brother Zhang is going to be promoted, and from now on he will be the doorman of the living room of Xizhenwu Palace."
As soon as Zhao Ran heard this, he understood in his heart that Du Tenghui was indeed a good person, so he had to be more conscientious in repaying the favor. As expected, he transferred Zhang Zhihuan, one of the three most important positions.
Zhang Zhihuan has completed the patrol in Wujiyuan. It will be more difficult to move up. He will go to Xizhenwu Palace and start at the door of the living room. In the future, it will be easier to be promoted to the Eight Deacons. If he is released at once, that is
The county superintendent or the abbot, even if he goes one step further and tries to win the three capitals of Xizhenwu Palace, there is still a chance, so this is a good thing for him.
After Zhang Zhihuan was transferred, a Taoist patrol position was left vacant, which left room for Zhao Ran to take up the post concurrently.
In the Shifang Jungle, if you want to be successfully promoted to a prison or abbot, it is best to have experience in the three Taoist positions of patrol officer, intellectual guest or high gong in your resume, otherwise there will always be a feeling that you are "not in the right position".
Unable to convince the public.
Just like Dong Zhikun, the current superintendent of Wujiyuan, has never experienced these three important positions. He was directly promoted to the superintendent of the Taoist Academy from the post of Yingbin in the number room, which manages the "tertiary industries" of the Taoist temple. He has not been able to convince the public so far and is always being criticized by others.
When people talk about shortcomings and shortcomings behind their backs, their advantages are often forgotten and their shortcomings are always magnified.
If Zhao Ran wants to go further in the future, he must experience one of these three important deacon positions. This is why Song Zhiyuan took the initiative to mention this to Du Teng when he was at Ye Xueguan that day.
Wuji Mountain is not high, so everyone climbed up the steps and reached the mountain gate in a short time.
The Sanqing Hall of Wujiyuan was already full of people. When they saw Zhao Ran and his entourage arriving, they all stood up and came out to greet them - the leader was Bai Tengming from Xizhenwu Palace! Following him was the patrolman of Xizhenwu Palace.
Zhong Tenghong, the original supervisor of Wujiyuan.
"Why did you come here in person?" Zhao Ran was very surprised and quickly took a few steps to pay his respects.
Bai Tengming helped Zhao Ran up and said with a smile: "Since it's your business, how can I not come over for a run?"
Zhao Ran said gratefully: "Thank you, Laodu!" and saluted Zhong Tenghong: "The old prison is here too. The sentiments quoted by the old prison will be unforgettable to Zhao Zhiran for the rest of his life. Without the old prison, Zhao Zhiran would not be where he is today."
The sound of "Old Supervisor" brought Zhong Tenghong and Zhao Ran closer in an instant. When Zhong Tenghong was the Supervisor of Wuji Institute, he and Zhao Ran were actually some distance apart. There was no close relationship between the two, and there was almost no connection between them.
After an in-depth conversation, even at the important juncture when Zhao Ran received the ultimatum, it was not Zhao Ran that he cared about at that time.
But in any case, citing the huge favor of being admitted to the hospital, Zhao Ran had to admit that without Zhong Tenghong’s nod, Zhao Ran would never be able to occupy a precious pyrotechnical layman position in Wuji Temple, and he would not be qualified to clean the toilets of the Taoist Temple! It is even more impossible
Today, he has the distinguished status of being a monk in the pavilion and a blessing from the Shifang Jungle Temple.
Zhong Tenghong nodded and said: "The affairs of Wujiyuan are my business. If I don't come, who will? Let's go and wash our hands first and dress properly." After that, he accompanied Zhao Ran to the side room next to him, where clean water wipes were already prepared.
Zhao Ran wiped his face and hands, put on his clothes, and listened to Zhong Tenghong's instructions.
"Later, I will tell you that when the appointment is announced, you should try not to conflict with Dong Zhikun. If he does anything inappropriate with etiquette, you can pretend you didn't see it today. It's better not to cause any trouble."
"What's going on with Dong Zhikun? Do you even dare to resist the orders of the palace?" Zhao Ran was a little surprised.
"Maybe he got into trouble and was very reluctant. Mr. Bai said that he was embarrassed by him yesterday, so he agreed to participate in today's big meeting."
Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to participate, right?"
"That's what I say, but he is a prisoner after all. If he doesn't attend, it won't look good on his face."
"Old prison guard, if he looks like this, won't Xizhenwu Palace consider taking him down?"
Zhong Tenghong shook his head: "After all, he was the one arranged by Abbot Du himself. If he were to be taken down like this, he would be in trouble unless he committed suicide himself."
