Heading from Huayun Mountain to Qingcheng Mountain, Jingyang Lantern flew in the air for less than an hour before arriving. When we entered the Qingfeng Mountain Cave, we saw that the foot of Yuhuangfang was already bustling with people.
All the monks in the Jade Emperor Pavilion, as long as they are within the mountain gate, are all busy, responsible for welcoming and settling the visitors in waves. As soon as the monks in the Huayun Pavilion entered, a monk came up and saluted: "Have you seen Hua Yun?"
Dear elders and colleagues." It was Yu Zhiyuan, an old acquaintance of Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran introduced to everyone: "This is Senior Brother Yu Zhiyuan, who is also a fellow Taoist who walked out of Shifang Jungle in Long'an Mansion. When he was in Wujiyuan, he took great care of his disciples. Later, he successfully set his bones and worshiped as Protector Yuan.
Practice under the disciples."
Elder Xiahou nodded slightly: "Now I have a lot to do with you, little friend."
Jiang Tenghe also nodded at him and said: "I heard from Zhiran that you would come to my Huayun Mountain as a guest if you have the opportunity. Let Zhiran accompany you to see the scenery of Huayun Mountain. This time, I will invite my nephew to come to watch the ceremony.
Take a lot of trouble."
Yu Zhiyuan said "I don't dare" and looked at Master Lin Zhijiao again.
Lin Zhijiao smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. How are you always?"
Yu Zhiyuan's face turned red and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word.
Zhao Ran suddenly became obsessed with gossip. Could it be that there is a story between his senior brother and Master Lin? No, he must look for an opportunity to find out more about it later!
That night, everyone stayed in the Yunshui Hall. Zhao Ran remained silent. He knew that Yu Zhiyuan would not be able to hold it in any longer, so he waited in the Yunshui Hall. Sure enough, in the evening, as he expected, Yu Zhiyuan came to make an appointment with Zhao Ran.
drink wine.
In a bamboo pavilion, Yu Zhiyuan filled the wine glass and handed it to Zhao Ran. After the two touched it, they drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking for three rounds, Yu Zhiyuan let out a long breath and said: "I heard that you were coming, so I took the initiative to ask for a job to pick you up. I thought I was getting what I wanted, but I really couldn't wait to see you.
Escape immediately."
"Why?"
"The gap... it's really too big..." As he spoke, Yu Zhiyuan poured a glass of wine into his mouth, raised his head and closed his eyes and said: "I remember you saying something before, what is the farthest distance in the world?
?I forgot, but now I know that the farthest distance in the world is the difference in status between people..."
"How did you meet back then?"
"In the former residence of Yu Mansion, Jing Qi and I were good friends, as well as Gillian. Gillian is the daughter of the washerwoman across the street. She is four years older than me. She is not a child of our Yu Jing Mansion..."
There was no need for Zhao Ran to persuade him to drink. Yu Zhiyuan drank one cup after another. There was no need for Zhao Ran to induce him. The past events were poured out one after another.
"... Later, Gillian became more and more beautiful, so I told my mother that I wanted to marry her, but my mother said that I was stupid. How could a child from a washerwoman's family be worthy of my Yu family... Haha, seriously
It's funny, haha... I went to tell her that the matchmaker was probably not going to get married. After I got married in two years, I would take her as my concubine. She cried all night and her tears were all gone. Then she told me that she
I would rather die than become a concubine, and never marry from now on. I thought to myself, she just couldn't look away for a while, but after a few years she would understand that entering my family's door, even if she is a concubine, is different.
Do you want to eat? Haha..."
Zhao Ran listened quietly and drank cup after cup with Yu Zhiyuan.
"Later, half a year later, it seemed like five months or something, I forgot. Anyway, she came to me and said she was going to cultivate immortality. A female immortal master from Huayun Pavilion took a fancy to her and said she had both
She has solid qualifications, but I still don’t believe it, haha, it’s really ridiculous. A few days later, I saw a female Taoist priest taking her away, and I was dumbfounded... Junior Brother Zhao, do you know? I was dumbfounded,
If you stand stupidly at the door, you will be stupid..."
Zhao Ran responded with a toast: "That's fine. If this hadn't happened, senior brother, I'm afraid you would have been a vulgar person for the rest of your life."
Yu Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Indeed, without Gillian, there would be no Yu Zhiyuan today. I once told Jing Qi that I wanted to practice Taoism, but Jing Qi did not agree. He said that I would die. I said that even if Yu Zhiyuan died,
I want to give it a try. If I die, I will die. What’s the big deal? If I can’t cultivate the Tao, what will I do with my life? Jing Qi kept trying to persuade me, saying that it would be nice to go to Shifang Jungle, so why do I have to do it?
As for Yi Yiji, he said that secular Taoism and immortal masters are actually the same. They are both for Taoism and the Ming Dynasty. Fundamentally speaking, there is no difference. He also said that the only difference is that cultivating Taoism can lead to ascension, but a thousand
Can one of the monks be ascended? Impossible, so the difference is that one lives a few decades longer and the other lives a few decades less. If a layman occupies a high position, he does not need to take risks and may even live longer than an immortal master.
…”
At this point, Yu Zhiyuan suddenly burst out laughing: "What's the result? He was too self-righteous and put himself in it! How can the secular way and the immortal master be the same? Ah? How are they the same? The secular way is just a dog of the immortal master.
, can it be the same? Haha...dog..."
"I didn't want to be a dog, so I looked for all kinds of opportunities and cracked holes in order to enter the threshold of spiritual practice. Fortunately, God did not disappoint me. I finally entered the door, became a Taoist priest, and was promoted to a Taoist priest. Until yesterday,
I was also looking forward to meeting Gillian. We haven’t seen each other for thirty years. Now that I am a Taoist priest, what will happen to Gillian when she sees me? But today I saw the truth and she asked me with a smile,
Haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing? Haha, haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?"
Shaking his head, Yu Zhiyuan said: "If she scolds me or mocks me a few words, I can accept it, but I can't accept this kind of politeness... She is now an archmage. I think, maybe I will be able to do it for the rest of my life.
I can’t form pills anymore…”
Zhao Ran sighed and patted Yu Zhiyuan, who was already lying on the table: "Senior Brother Yu, everything depends on man-made efforts. We have come to this point. You must not give up. Even if you really have to give up, you must stand up and speak out.
,'Now I am qualified to give up'!"
Yu Zhiyuan drank so much that he fell unconscious. Zhao Ran sat alone for a long time and helped him back to the library. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Yu Zhiyuan regained consciousness and hurried to Yunshui Hall to perform his duties.
He took out a sketch and roughly drew the place where the Huayun Pavilion monks would sit during tomorrow's ceremony: "It's right here, seven feet away from the main hall. In front of you are the monks from the Jade Emperor Pavilion, followed closely by you, and behind you are all the monks."
The Kuixing Pavilion of the mansion.”
Because there are too many guests, one Jade Emperor Palace obviously cannot accommodate so many monks, so the ceremony will be held on the square in front of the palace, with the Jade Emperor Palace as its back. The location allocated to the monks of the Huayun Pavilion is quite good.
, all this depends on Zhao Ran's identity as a "maternal family member". It seems that Zhu Qigu still has a strong identity with Zhao Ran, this cheap brother.
In fact, what Zhao Ran didn't know was that Zhu Qigu originally wanted to take him out alone and put him at the banquet of her natal family, which included several princes, the Taoist priests of the Shangsan Palace, etc. But Chu Yangcheng replaced him.
Come out and still put it on this side of the Dao Gate.
