Jiang Tenghe met Zhao Ran and said, "You are back, have you settled all the matters at the foot of the mountain?"
After listening to Zhao Ran's simple words, he nodded and said: "Master Sun can't wait any longer. Let's set off tomorrow."
Zhao Ran asked: "Uncle Lin and the others, are they going?"
Jiang Tenghe said: "They are not going this time. All matters will be entrusted to our Lou Guan. They have said that they can live wherever they are arranged. Everything is decided by Lou Guan."
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "They are quite sensible. They know that Junshan Cave Heaven was earned by our Lou Guan at a huge cost. It is good to have this attitude and we can continue to protect them in the future."
Jiang Tenghe said: "You have a very bad mentality. If you always think like this, you will cause trouble in the future. We are both Taoist practitioners and we should support each other. How can you think of bullying?"
Zhao Ran was sweating profusely when the teacher said this. After being stunned for a moment, he bowed and said, "Thank you for reminding me, teacher. I'm so arrogant."
Jiang Tenghe said: "After the Junshan Cave is completed, I will punish you to practice meditation in the Xixin Pavilion for three months. Remember what you said today."
"Yes, I respectfully accept my punishment. Thank you very much, teacher!"
"Monk Mingjue has been looking for you since yesterday. You should go and see him."
Zhao Ran agreed and went to the courtyard where Ming Jue stayed. He was still thinking about it along the way. He secretly thought that since the Yuanfu Palace meeting in the capital, he had been too smooth this year.
Heart, it is really worth being vigilant.
After meeting Mingjue, Mingjue said: "The Taoist Master is finally back, and I have been informed by the Flying Talisman of Tianlongyuan..."
Zhao Ran waved his hand to interrupt: "Master, wait a moment, I just had something in my mind, so I will write a few words first."
"Oh, it's such a rare blessing to be able to watch a visitor leave ink in the mountains." Mingjue didn't care about talking about business, and was so happy that he helped grind ink and lay paper.
Zhao Ran pondered for a moment and then finished a large character.
"I forgot to hold back my hands when I was behind me, but I wanted to turn back when I had no way to go."
After finishing writing, Zhao Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, and the turbidity in his heart was released, and he suddenly felt refreshed.
"Okay, Master Mingjue just said, what did Tianlongyuan tell you? Master...Master?"
Mingjue was staring at these two lines of words and thinking hard as if he was possessed by a demon. Zhao Ran called him several times but did not respond. He seemed to have not heard and muttered to himself.
Zhao Ran carefully distinguished and heard what he said about "wisdom comes from birth and the body and mind are not real", what he said about "surrendering greed, it cannot be eradicated", what he said about "the body and mind are harmful wisdom", and what "greed comes from wisdom"
It's terrible to rise up..."
After a while, Mingjue sat on the ground, put his hands in front of him, and performed a mudra. After a while, his body became dark and bright, and a refreshing fragrance emerged leisurely.
Mingjue stood up, clasped his hands to Zhao Ran, and gave a deep salute: "Thank you so much for the Taoist priest's enlightenment, for helping the young monk to understand this fear and gain wisdom. The young monk is indeed destined to be with the Taoist priest. He can pass this test today because of the Taoist priest."
achievement!"
Zhao Ran was really speechless. He remembered that three years ago in Qukong Temple, Mingjue realized the Tao beside him, and thus entered the bhikkhu realm, and entered the first insight wisdom of the bhikkhu realm - the wisdom of the emergence of fear; today, three years later
, and I saw through this insight around me. Could it be that I really have a destiny with this monk?
After congratulating Mingjue with a forced smile, Zhao Ran asked: "Master just said, Tianlongyuan..."
Mingjue patted his bald head and hurriedly took out a list and handed it to Zhao Ran: "A letter from Tianlongyuan Feifu. I found a few old items lost by the noble family. I also asked the Taoist priest to take a look."
Zhao Ran took it and took a look, and saw that five more magical artifacts were added to the original list, among which the "Qing Yu Bao Wing" was impressively included.
Then I heard Ming Jue say: "The Taoist priest helped the young monk to see through the situation, and the young monk did not hide it. This is the last list that our Tianlong Academy can provide. The elders of the Presbyterian Hall said that if the Taoist priest is still not satisfied, they can only
Let’s leave it at that.”
Although there is no "Picture of Wuji" and "Picture of Ten Sons of Xuanyuan", there is "Biography of Immortal Master Lou Guan", "Ling Fei Liu Jia Su Plays the Alchemy Cauldron" and "Qing Yu Bao Wings". Zhao Ran has actually basically
Satisfied.
Looking at the calligraphy he had just written, Zhao Ran was about to nod when he saw Mingjue stuffing in another slip: "This is the book of etiquette given by Tianlong Academy to He Lou Guan Zhongli Shanmen. Please accept it with pleasure from the Taoist priest."
."
Zhao Ran took a look and saw that the items listed on the list were still the same, but the quantity had increased again: two hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred catties of gold sand, five hundred knives of Tianshan talisman paper, two hundred square meters of purple gold nanmu, two thousand pieces of cowhide, snow lotus
One hundred and sixty flowers...
Zhao Ran said: "I accepted the gift list, but you also know that it must be turned over to the general view..."
"The little monk understands."
"I still have to pay you for the old things I have in Lou Guan. I wonder how much they cost?"
After thinking about it, Mingjue asked: "Well... I would like to ask first, when can the Taoist priest go to Xingqing?"
Zhao Ran said: "I will leave for Songfan tomorrow. After a few days, maybe on August 1, I will enter your country from Baihe. How about that?"
Mingjue asked for confirmation again: "Then our Tianlongyuan party will be scheduled for August 16th, okay?"
Zhao Ran nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Mingjue breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In that case, is it feasible to price the redemption silver at one tael?"
Zhao Ran laughed: "Isn't this too obvious?"
Mingjue smiled apologetically and said, "Then one thousand taels?"
Zhao Ran gave an answer: "Ten thousand taels!"
Mingjue nodded in agreement, then looked at the calligraphy spread on the desk, and begged: "This calligraphy is for the young monk to achieve enlightenment. I wonder if I can ask the Taoist Master to give it to me? The young monk is willing to give me ten thousand taels of silver, thinking that
Money to polish your pen."
Zhao Ran pointed at Mingjue and couldn't help but be happy: "It's up to you, just take it."
Early the next morning, six people from three generations of Lou Guan's masters and apprentices took Sun Biyun's flying magic weapon and the ladder to enter Songfan. After walking for more than half an hour, the White River was already in front of them.
This is the forefront of the confrontation between the Ming and Xia armies. There are many powerful weapons and formations lurking there. The group of people descended down and sent Ming Jue to the Ming army camp.
Mingjue agreed through the Taoist gate and entered the country openly, so it was impossible to make things difficult for him. So the two parties said goodbye, and Mingjue crossed the river and returned to Xia Kingdom. Zhao Ran and others climbed up the ladder again, and soon arrived at their destination fifty miles southeast of Hongyuan.
——The Maharaja Mountain that has now been renamed.
Zhao Ran pointed downwards on the ladder and said: "With this town as the center, the ground with a radius of thirty miles is the Shujing Temple. Of course, it has now been renamed Junshan Town. The big mountain at the foot is Dajun Mountain
, formerly known as Partridge Mountain.”
Zhao Ran pointed the direction and landed on the mountain on the ladder. It was midsummer now, and the small glacial lake had melted. The surface of the lake, which was about an acre in size, was as flat as a mirror, green and deep.
Everyone followed Zhao Ran into the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake. After descending for more than thirty feet, they stepped on the sand at the bottom of the lake. After walking for a while, they saw a steep rock wall in front of them, and a stone gate was opening on the rock wall.
So everyone followed Zhao Ran and entered the cave one by one.
