Finally, he was officially given the job of walking in the Taoist sect of Long'an Mansion, and was given the magic weapon of Huayun Mountain - the Divine Robe of the Lihuo Dharma. Zhao Ran's return to the mountain could be described as a great success.
With a full harvest, Zhao Ran was ready to run away. Although he was very attracted to the fairyland-like scenery of Huayun Mountain, his own practice was the most important priority. He came in the snow, went in the wind, worked hard under the scorching sun, and in the heavy rain.
Running around, this is the correct style of his practice.
Before going down the mountain, I went to say goodbye to Zhu Meng as usual. Zhu Meng was deeply stimulated by him. Now he is working hard every day and night. He had no time to chat with him. Without saying a few words, he drove him away from Qiqiao Forest impatiently.
came out.
Among other acquaintances, the third senior brother Luo Zhiqing and the two senior uncles from the Zhuo family in Huoxin Cave were in retreat at Wenxin Cliff. Zhao Ran could not see them this time. However, he still went through the procedure, came to Wenxin Cliff, and faced the rock wall.
There were seven or eight caves in the cave - I couldn't tell who was in the cave, so I clasped my fists and bowed my head, fulfilling my own etiquette.
Before leaving, Zhao Ran made a special trip to find Wei Zhizhen.
He has not been in Huayun Mountain all year round. He doesn't know what is going on in the Daomen Pavilion cultivation world. It is necessary to keep the news secret. To practice merit, you must listen to all directions and observe the six paths. Otherwise, you will be tricked and there will be no place.
Reason.
This senior brother of mine does nothing but practice all day long. He is definitely a model of being indifferent to what is going on outside the window. This is undesirable. He has to shoulder the responsibility of being a senior brother!
After meeting Wei Zhizhen, he put forward his request, and Wei Zhizhen readily agreed. But Zhao Ran was really uneasy when he saw his calm look.
Then he turned to Yu Zhichuan and said: "Second senior brother, the eldest brother is very attentive in his cultivation. He often stays up all night practicing in the sword pavilion. I'm afraid that sometimes he won't be able to take care of it. Second senior brother, please help me pay more attention."
Yu Zhichuan was a little unhappy and said: "Senior Brother is very attentive in cultivation, so I am also very attentive..."
Zhao Ran had a black line on his face and thought to himself, "You should pay attention to the key point of what I'm talking about. Is the key point of what I'm talking about being focused on cultivation?"
I cursed in my heart, but had to comfort me verbally: "Second senior brother is equally devoted to cultivation. I can't catch up with this junior brother. I often use second senior brother as an example on weekdays, asking my subordinates in Junshan Temple to study the scriptures well and work diligently.
Let them learn from Second Senior Brother..."
Yu Zhichuan became interested: "Oh? Tell me, what did you tell them? Didn't they pay attention to studying the scriptures? Did they correct themselves after you used me as an example..."
Zhao Ran had no choice but to add a lot of words that he thought were boring and useless, but Yu Zhichuan sounded like he was enjoying himself.
After talking for a long time, Yu Zhichuan fully satisfied his desire for gossip and felt satisfied in his heart, and then changed the subject again: "One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. If the senior brother has missed anything, the second senior brother must have thought more about telling it.
I. If there is any news, whether it is official news or gossip, please send it to my junior brother by flying talisman."
As he said that, Zhao Ran took out a bunch of flying talismans and estimated that there would be no less than a hundred. When he handed it to Yu Zhichuan, he felt a little secretly in his heart. This was worth five hundred taels of silver!
After thinking about it, he continued to gouge out himself, took out a five hundred tael of silver notes and gave it to his senior brother Wei Zhizhen. This was used to purchase materials and refine high-level flying talismans. Ordinary flying talismans could only send simple messages, and Zhao Ran was worried that there would be
If he needed to explain in detail, these two senior brothers dismissed him with just a few words, but then they made things worse.
Yu Zhichuan happily held the flying talisman and said: "Don't worry, junior brother, no matter whether it's official news or gossip, I will definitely find out for you!"
Zhao Ran warned again in a serious tone: "Second senior brother, remember, you are my eyes!"
Yu Zhichuan extremely enjoyed this "mission" and the feeling of being taken seriously by others. He smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth: "Hey, okay, senior brother, I will be your eyes, please feel free!"
Wei Zhizhen waited for them to finish talking and asked, "Fourth Junior Brother, what do you mean, are you ready to go down the mountain?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Yes, there are thousands of avenues..."
Yu Zhichuan took over from the side: "You choose one, and the whole Huayun Mountain will know."
Wei Zhizhen said: "Teacher said that since you have broken through the realm, you should exchange insights among fellow disciples as a rule. But things are complicated now, so let's wait until Junior Brother Luo comes out of seclusion. The teacher also asked me to tell you that you are now in
When walking for Taoism and practicing at the foot of the mountain, you should pay more attention to see if there are any good seedlings. If you think they have good character, bring them back to Huayun Pavilion. It is time for our Louguan lineage to train the next generation.
"
Zhao Ran scratched his head: "It's easy to say whether your character is good or bad. If you observe it for three to five months, you can roughly tell. But I can't tell what a good seedling is for cultivation."
"It just depends on your qualifications."
"What do you think of this? Hey, by the way, the two master uncles of the Zhuo family noticed that I had bad bones back then. They were also in the Huangguan realm at that time, right? Now I am the same, can I also see it? This
Is there any trick or magic in it? Senior brother, please teach me quickly!"
Wei Zhizhen said: "Junior brother, come here..."
Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "Do you still need to attach ears to this? There are no outsiders here, just you, senior brother Yu and I. Senior brother can just say it clearly."
Wei Zhizhen said: "I am teaching you a Taoist technique, junior brother. If you don't pay attention to it, it will be a long article. It will inevitably take up time and inflate the number of words."
Zhao Ran was dumbfounded, not knowing what his senior brother was talking about, so he had to listen and learned a Taoist technique taught by Wei Zhizhen. With this Taoist technique, he could detect the aptitude and foundation to see if there was any training.
possible.
After bidding farewell to his two senior brothers, Zhao Ran rode the "bad horse" he brought with him and rushed towards Junshan Temple. He still had many things to do next. The first one was to quickly order Jin Jiu and others to move the buildings and palaces of Junshan Temple.
Expand it.
When Zhao Ran built the Junshan Temple four years ago, because the establishment provided by Wujiyuan was very small and few people were willing to follow him from Wujiyuan, he did not need a few rooms.
But things are different now. Not only have the specifications of Junshan Temple been improved and the number of personnel doubled, but as Zhao Ran's reputation as "immortal master" gradually spreads, more and more famous pilgrims come from far away, including quite a few.
There are some owners who are not short of money.
These people are unwilling to live in dirty farmers' homes, so Junshan Temple can only try to house them in the temple. However, the buildings in Junshan Temple are seriously short, and they often cannot accommodate so many people. Sometimes Zhao Ran has to vacate the temple.
He came out to accommodate pilgrims and went to the back garden pavilion to spend the night with the cat.
In addition to pilgrims, Zhao Ran will also prepare for gatherings of monks in the future.
The most obvious example is that Dongfang Jing and Rong Niang summoned a group of Taoist friends to Junshan last month. They had no place to sleep, so they simply feasted in the back garden for three days. Fortunately, they are all practitioners, and the three
He could survive without sleeping, but Zhao Ran was so embarrassed at that time that he made up his mind to expand immediately.
The current layout of Junshan Temple is three courtyards and four courtyards, covering a total area of one and a half acres. The front courtyard is the Jade Emperor's Palace, and the backyard is the Lingquan Pool. The only two small courtyards on the left and right divided by the middle courtyard can really accommodate people.
One room is seriously not enough.
As soon as Zhao Ran returned to Junshan Temple, he sketched a rough outline of the expansion on the drawing, then summoned the Taoist priests who had received orders from Junshan Temple and ordered them to start the expansion immediately.
