As soon as Du Ziteng mentioned "The Legend of Immortals", Zhao Ran secretly thought something was wrong.
"The Legend of Encounters with Immortals" was written by Du Guangting, the fax master who ascended six hundred years ago. It tells the story of mortals meeting immortals in the secular world. It proves the existence of immortals and is an important pillar supporting the theoretical building of Taoism in this world.
, has been incorporated into Taoist Canon.
When Zhao Ran was studying scriptures at Wuji Academy, he knew that this set of books is divided into five volumes and was written during the thirty years Du Guangting was in Sichuan Province. The original set of manuscripts is extremely precious and is now in the Zongguan Sutra Pavilion. In Wuji
What the hospital preserves is the revised version he revised during the Qing Dynasty in Wuji Mountain. I don’t know how many times he revised it. After the revision, it was preserved.
Such a valuable relic was given as a gift by Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran, just to protect the comrades of Wujiyuan. It is quite tangled to say. If Taoism did not have the concept of "protecting cultural relics", Zhao Ran would really
I dare not incite Song Zhiyuan to do such a thing.
Now that this set of "The Story of Immortal Encounters" is in the hands of Baidu Guan of Xizhenwu Palace, how should he explain it to Elder Du?
Just listen to Du Ziteng say: "The world only knows that this set of manuscripts has five volumes. In fact, in recent years, I have read the ancestors' records and found that the five volumes collected in Wujiyuan are probably not simple revisions. Many of the records in them may be from the ancestors' later periods.
’s sequel, so if you want to see the true face, please give me your help.”
It turns out that there is still such a secret. If it is true as Elder Du said, the five volumes of "The Legend of Immortal Encounter" are not a revision but a sequel, it would be too valuable. In the flash of lightning, Zhao Ran had no time to make it clear.
The clear reply was simply: "Don't worry, Elder Du. I will ask this matter after I return to Wuji Courtyard."
Du Ziteng said: "Then I'd like you to help me take a look. If possible, I still want to get back the relics of my ancestors. If Wujiyuan has any requirements, you can put them forward. I will do my best if I can do it. Of course, if it is true,
It’s not convenient and it’s not easy to force things. We cultivators can just let things take their own course.”
Zhao Ran nodded and agreed, thinking that Elder Du was also an expert. He said both the positive and negative aspects of this, and said that he "doesn't force anything", but he must listen carefully.
Elder Du said so much, but there are two key points in his words. One is "the relics of the ancestors", which occupies a moral high point; the other is "really inconvenient". How can anything be "really inconvenient"?
What? Almost none!
After parting ways with Elder Du, Zhao Ran was blocked by Song Yuqiao on his way back to Lingjian Pavilion from Huodexingjun Palace.
"Junior Brother Zhao, why did you become Huang Guan so quickly?"
"Senior Sister Song, haha, what's that? Taoism is natural, I don't know it either, it's just a matter of confusion."
Song Yuqiao was unhappy: "Junior Brother Zhao, can't you speak properly?"
Zhao Ran said: "I'm sorry, senior sister, but I'm so broken..."

The elders will take care of you, so you don't have to worry about the future; secondly, if you stay in seclusion for too long, you will easily have problems with your state of mind. There is a magic circle at the corner of your mind that can help you eliminate distracting thoughts."
Zhao Ran hurriedly bowed his head and expressed his thanks: "Senior Sister, I'm sorry that I'm sorry."
"In addition, my master's injury has healed. She said she wanted to thank Cheng An, but Junior Sister Zhou said she had already thanked her and we didn't need to worry about it anymore. Aren't you and Cheng An on good terms? Master asked me to ask your opinion again.
"
Zhao Ran felt uncomfortable all over and his face felt a little feverish. He said, "Well, I heard, well, I heard that it seems that Junior Sister Zhou thanked me, so Uncle Lin doesn't need to worry about it anymore."
Song Yuqiao nodded and said: "In that case, if Cheng An has any difficulties, you can come to me and ask Qinggu, please inform him for us."
"This is no problem, I will definitely convey it!"
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuqiao said again: "I have something to tell you..."
"Sister, please speak."
"Let me tell you straight...can you help me contact Cheng An?"
Zhao Ran was stunned: "What do you mean, senior sister?"
"He has an IOU of 100,000 taels in his hand, which was signed by Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain, but it was actually to save me in Xia Kingdom. This money should not have been paid by Senior Brother Zhang. Please help me tell him,
The money is what I owe, and I will find a way to pay it back. But I can't pay it back to him all at once. Give me a few years to pay it back slowly..."
"Is this the intention of Senior Sister herself, or the intention of Senior Brother Zhang from Longhu Mountain?"
"It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhang. I haven't seen him for a year, and I haven't had any contact with him. This is my own intention. Anyway, you can contact him for me, or simply tell me his contact method, and I will contact him directly.
Can we talk?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and thought: "Cheng'an not only does business in Xia Kingdom, but also often travels between Tubo and other countries in the Western Regions. He is traveling all year round. To be honest, I can't find him. He usually takes the initiative to contact me. But about senior sister.
It’s not a big deal. Although Cheng An is a merchant, he is not obsessed with gold and silver. He told me the inside story here and it has nothing to do with senior sister, so I’ll spare my senior sister’s money."
Song Yuqiao looked at Zhao Ran with disdain: "What a big deal! One hundred thousand silver, you said you can get rid of it if you don't want it?" Then he asked: "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Isn't it because you saved me?"
Zhao Ran explained: "Cheng'an has fully entrusted me with the money that senior sister mentioned. However, according to Cheng'an, this money is the matter of Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain. Although it was caused by saving senior sister, the main reason was not
For this reason, it is a feud between Cheng An and Senior Brother Zhang, and has nothing to do with Senior Sister. I have already negotiated a solution to this IOU with Longhushan, so Senior Sister, please leave it alone!"
Song Yuqiao was stubborn: "What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? This happened because of me, so I have to pay back the money! Unless you find Cheng An and tell me clearly in person, this girl will always be thinking about him all day long.
Can’t you sleep on the grace of saving me? In fact, I can’t get through this hurdle in my heart, and my practice has been delayed!”
Zhao Ran was speechless: "What does senior sister plan to do?"
Song Yuqiao asked: "You can't contact him now?"
Zhao Ran spread his hands: "There is really no way to do this!"
Song Yuqiao stared into his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Where is the flying talisman?"
"Senior sister, Cheng'an is a businessman who has not yet entered spiritual practice. I would like to give him talismans, but he must be able to accept them! We usually communicate through letters..."
"The only one who believes in you is the devil!" Song Yuqiao sneered.
Zhao Ran quickly cried out: "The conscience of heaven and earth, senior sister..."
Song Yuqiao said: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it! In short, I want to pay back the money. If I don't pay it back, I don't have a clear idea. As for the matter between you and Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care about it.
."
"Senior sister, there is really no need..."
Before Zhao Ran could persuade him, he saw Song Yuqiao taking out a silver ingot from his sleeve and throwing it to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran subconsciously took it and weighed it in his hand. It was a five-tael silver ingot, so he smiled and said: "Senior sister, you are so polite. You reward me for such a small thing. We are all so familiar. We can't see you when we look up. How embarrassing..."
"What reward? Why should I reward you?" Song Yuqiao said: "This is the first amount of money that I have returned to Cheng An. Once you have collected it, don't forget to ask him to give me a receipt later!"
What the hell? I owe one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the first payment is five taels? Do I still need to write a receipt?
Zhao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Senior sister, can we stop making trouble?"
Song Yuqiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't have much money! It would be great if you are willing to pay it back, but you still think it's too little?"
Okay, Zhao Ran thought he couldn't afford to offend you, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll write you a receipt immediately after I receive the five taels of silver I owe you."
"That won't work. The receipt you wrote doesn't count. I want Cheng'an's!"
"That can wait..."
"No rush, I'll wait!"
After finally getting away from Song Yuqiao, Zhao Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that this senior sister who was not from the same sect was getting more and more difficult to deal with.
