Discussions were still going on in the Zichen Palace, but Zhao Ran was not qualified to participate, so he could only wait outside Yuanfu Palace. He could not leave because Zhang Laodao had spoken and asked him to "wait", so he could only wait outside.
With.
At this moment, Zhao Ran missed the days when he commanded Zhang Laodao to clean up the Wuji courtyard together...
Li Dayin took several laymen from Yuanfu Palace and used a wooden board to lift the unconscious Jing Zhimo out. Because the order he received was to keep Jing Zhimo under "severe care", he could only temporarily put him there.
On the long wooden bench in the gatehouse.
Looking at Jing Jingmo lying on the wooden bench, Zhao Ran felt very complicated. Ever since Zhang Yunzhao was assassinated, this guy has been staring at him hauntingly and using various means to trip him up.
Back then, when he was investigating Wujiyuan's crimes, Jing Zhimo added insult to injury; Ye Xueguan wanted to get him to Songfan when discussing matters; this time, he even wanted to cut off his own path of cultivation.
While Zhao Ran deeply hated Jing Zhimo, he also never understood why this person would always be angry at him, like a mad dog? He heard people mention it more than once that when Jing Zhimo was in prison in Tongchuan Mansion, he was most taboo about others being around him.
He mentioned Zhang Jianyuan in front of him, for which he got angry many times and slapped many people.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Zhao Ran adopted two strategies when he was confronted in the Zichen Palace today. One was to play the role of a victim and gain sympathy as a "suffering monk"; the other was to fight tooth and nail.
Turn the topic to Zhang Yunzhao and see if there is any effect.
It was not until today that Zhao Ran truly saw the truth in the rumors. Jing Zhimo was indeed unable to control his emotions and turned into a veritable mad dog in the Zichen Palace.
Zhao Ran didn't know whether Jing Zhimo would be like before, recovering after this stress, or whether he would go completely crazy, but based on today's performance alone, this person's days in the Shifang Jungle should be over.
Thinking about it, I told Palace Master Cui and the three of them last month that Jing Zhimo had a problem with his brain. Unexpectedly, his words came true, and he was really right.
The only thing that surprised him was that Jing Zhimo actually secretly collected evidence, probed into his background, and exposed it in public at the Zichen Hall, which caused such a big mistake and made his identity "exposed" to the True Master Hall.
, so that his achievements can finally be justly praised. From this aspect, Zhao Ran really wants to thank Jing Zhimo for his desperate efforts!
No matter what, after finally defeating this troublesome opponent, Zhao Ran let out a long breath.
While he was thinking wildly, he saw the Taoist opposite him nodded slightly and smiled slightly. Zhao Ran was not sure about the other person's details, so he politely returned the greeting.
But he saw the Taoist coming over and said, "Is this Abbot Zhao in person?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "It's just the trail, I don't know..."
The Taoist introduced himself: "Pindao is the envoy of Yuanfu Palace. His surname is Li and his given name is Dayin."
Palace Envoy? Could it be that he is another miscellaneous member of the Shangsan Palace Group? Zhao Ran thought to himself, and just as he didn't know what to call him, Li Dayin said again: "My lineage is actually the inheritance of Longhu Mountain, but it is not the main branch of the Zhang family.
This Yuanfu Palace is also the Taoist palace established by our Taoist sect in the capital. Zhenshitang Zhenshi is stationed here and takes pictures of the Shangsan Palace and other palaces in the capital."
So that's the case, Zhao Ran said: "I have met the envoy of Li Yuan."
Li Dayin said: "Abbot Zhao, there is something I need to ask Abbot Zhao to accommodate me?"
"Envoy from Liyuan, please tell me."
"I want to talk to the abbot about Palace Master Jing. Palace Master Jing comes from the Jing family in Guizhou. I wonder if the abbot knows anything about Chongde Hall?"
"Chongde Hall in Hufeng Mountain, Sinan Prefecture, Guizhou?"
"This is exactly where it is. It seems that Abbot Zhao is aware of it."
Zhao Ran nodded: "I have heard about the name of Chongde Hall. It is said that it is the temple of the descendants of the Yu family and the Jing family. It is the place of practice for the descendants of the Jingda Master who ascended sixty years ago."
Li Dayin said: "Yes, there is also a great master-level elder in Guizhou Shengguan Pavilion, also named Jing."
Zhao Ran praised: "The Jing family is indeed one of the great sects and one of the pillars of the Southwest Dao Sect!"
Li Dayin smiled and said: "Jing Zhimo is a direct descendant of the Jing family. Although he has no talent for cultivation, he is a generation of heroes in the jungles of Shifang. It's just a pity that he made a mistake in the palace today, which is really regrettable..."
Just like Jing Zhimo inquired about Zhao Ran, Zhao Ran was actually investigating Jing Zhimo's background behind the scenes. Zhao Ran knew that Li Dayin said that Jing Zhimo was a direct descendant of the Jing family. He also knew that because Jing Zhimo did not have
He had no qualifications, so he went down the mountain after the weak crown and came to the former residence of the Jing family in Yufu, Sichuan Province. From there, he entered the jungles of Shifang in Sichuan Province.
Zhao Ran a few years ago might have been wary of such a background, but now he no longer looks down on Jing Zhimo. He just doesn't know what Li Dayin wants to do when he mentions this matter, so
Said: "If the Li Yuan envoy has something to say, just say it directly."
"Well, as for me, I had some romantic relationships with Mr. Jing in the past, and I couldn't bear to see him sink like this. I wanted to have a relationship with Abbot Zhao, make a good relationship, and make peace with you two. I didn't know that Abbot Zhao betrayed me.
This face?"
Zhao Ran was startled, then couldn't help laughing, and nodded: "Of course that's good! Last year, the Liu Supervisor of the Chongqing Mansion wanted to make peace with Palace Master Jing for me, but Palace Master Jing didn't agree. If Li
If the envoy can convince Master Jingdian, I will naturally be happy to do so."
Li Dayin said: "Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
Zhao Ran bowed deeply and said: "In this case, I have worked hard for the envoy of Liyuan."
Li Dayin smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's not hard to say, it's just that I can't bear to see the hatred between colleagues getting deeper and deeper. Since Abbot Zhao is willing to resolve the hatred, can you talk to Yangming Prison and ask him to show his respect?
Spare the Master Jingdian this time?"
Zhao Ran was surprised and said: "How can I, the abbot of a small county court, have the qualifications to 'talk' to the Yangming Prison? Isn't the envoy of Li Yuan joking with me?"
Li Dayin said: "Abbot Zhao, how can you belittle yourself? Although you do not hold a high position in Shifang Jungle, you are a serious monk, and you are no different from ordinary people. Yangming Prison must treat Abbot Zhao differently.
It's different. If he wants to visit Yangming Prison, how can he turn away the abbot?"
Zhao Ran said: "But even if I pay homage to Yangming Prison, will he listen to me? I just saw and heard in the palace that Lord Jing has angered many true masters. I'm going to ask Ken Yangming for help."
Courtyard, I’m afraid this is inappropriate and unreasonable.”
Li Dayin said: "Abbott, there is no need to worry. This matter originated from the abbot, so it is most appropriate for the abbot to come forward. As for the other true masters, it does not matter. This matter was passed down by my teacher himself. He asked me to come to find the abbot. I must be my teacher.
Make your own arrangements.”
"Who is your master?"
"The Celestial Master sitting in the Baojing Pavilion, the Taoist master of Yuanfu Palace, the director of Daolu, Chen, who is good at Taoism."
"It turns out that your Excellency is a disciple of Master Chen Tianshi. I am disrespectful and disrespectful. I hope that the envoy of Liyuan will take more care of the path in the future!"
"It's easy to talk about. I like to make friends the most. If anything happens to my friends, I am willing to help them. When we get along well in the future, Abbot Zhao will know."
"Thank you very much! I wonder how the envoy of Liyuan wants to spare Master Jingdian?"
Seeing that Zhao Ran's attitude was very respectful, Li Dayin felt satisfied and said: "I heard that Master Jing made a mistake in the Zhenshi Hall and was rude. What do I mean? I would like to ask the abbot to talk to Yangming Prison.
Reprimands and fines are all appropriate. I have heard of this man in the past. He is a capable man. In the past, he also had the courage to serve in the jungles of Shifang. He was appreciated by many people. If the punishment is severe, it is not how Taoism treats capable ministers.
