That night, Zhao Ran waited for Mingjue in the official post. It was not until midnight that Mingjue knocked on the door.
Zhao Ran opened the door and said: "Master Mingjue, it's so late, is there anything urgent?"
Mingjue apologized and said, "I'm really sorry for disturbing the Taoist Priest's rest. The young monk is here to discuss the Taoist Priest's suggestion of setting up a permanent store at Jinbo Club."
Zhao Ran let Mingjue into the room, and Mingjue came to know him well, so he was busy boiling water and making tea in the room. Zhao Ran yawned and took the tea cup from Mingjue: "Let me wake up." He drank.
After a while, he said: "Well, I'm much better now. Master, please tell me."
Mingjue said: "We at Tianlong Academy are very grateful to the Taoist Priest for returning the rainbow body all the way, so we attach great importance to the Taoist Priest's affairs. After discussing with the elders again, the heads of Golden Needle Hall, Bodhi Hall, and Xuanye Hall urged the three
Si Li night supervised the work and finally came up with this method, Taoist Master, can you see if it works?"
"Oh? That's a big thank you to all the great monks. Please tell me."
"First, the Taoist priest establishes a business name, try to avoid the words Taomen or Ming Dynasty, and build a business store next to the Jinbo Club. The third division will find a good place for you, and you will definitely be satisfied."
"I don't have a problem with that."
"Secondly, Taoist priests can bid for goods at the Jinbo Auction House and bring them back to the Ming Dynasty. The checkpoints and forts they pass through on the way will not be difficult, and no fees or commercial taxes will be charged. The Third Division can give the Taoist priest a special copy.
Documentary evidence.”
"Tell the important point."
"Haha... Thirdly, regarding the types of goods to be auctioned, the number of cattle cannot exceed one hundred per year, and the number of horses is limited to ten. The rest are arbitrary."
Zhao Ran immediately said displeased: "Master Mingjue, what can we do with this number of cattle and horses? If I buy them back, how can I stop my fellow Taoist Youyou from talking about them?"
Mingjue immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Taoist Master. Our Tianlong Academy was considering the Taoist Master's difficulties, so we specially pressured the three divisions to get them to agree to give the Taoist Master 300 good horses at one time! In this way, Taoist Master
Didn't the elder have something to say after he returned?"
This seemed pretty good, but Zhao Ran still tried to add more: "Two hundred oxen and one hundred horses per year!"
Mingjue said with a bitter face: "Master Taoist, it's really hard for me to do this to this young monk."
"Two hundred oxen, fifty horses!"
"It really doesn't work, we can't do it any more... The Taoist priest should also understand the difficulties of Tianlongyuan... My Tianlongyuan is different from Jian Jiguan. Jian Jiguan can do what Tianlongyuan can't do."
"Then what do you say about Cheng An's freedom to come and go?"
"Well...Jinbo Club is busy with affairs, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave..."
Zhao Ran saw Ming Jue's embarrassed look and knew that it might not be that easy to let An Huiming be released from Tianlongyuan.
Zhao Ran didn't dare to dwell on this issue any longer. "Standing up for friends" should be done in moderation. It was difficult to grasp the right balance. Talking too much would arouse greater suspicion from the other party and attract Tianlongyuan's attention to Cheng'an a hundred times.
Instead, he pushed Cheng An into the fire pit. So after thinking about it, he could only change his words and said: "Well, let's take a step back, Pindao. First, you must ensure Cheng An's personal safety. He is Pindao's best friend. Pindao
I must not sit back and let him have an accident. I need the official document of Tianlongyuan to guarantee this. Secondly, the three hundred horses given to me must be more than four feet five inches high at the back!"
Mingjue wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Daozhang Zhao, let's take over the handover at Tianlongyuan tomorrow, okay? Chengdong's family is safe. This little monk is sure of it. In fact, Chengdong's family is not only a Taoist
The elder's friend is also the young monk's friend. The young monk will definitely facilitate this matter when he returns; secondly, the young monk can make the decision now and agree that the horse given to the Taoist Master will undoubtedly be a good one."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Master Mingjue has worked hard. In order to express my gratitude, I have a small gift for you." After saying that, he took out a folding fan from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Come here when you are free."
No problem, I wrote a fan and gave it to everyone for sharing."
Mingjue was pleasantly surprised, so he quickly took it and opened it. It was the first paragraph of the "Tao De Zhen" written by Zhao Ran. The whole text was written in regular script. It was handsome, free and easy, and extremely beautiful. There was also a note at the end, which stated: "
This book is a gift to Taoist friends Mingjue to benefit and encourage each other."
Mingjue carefully put it away, said goodbye with a smile. After leaving the official post, Mingjue looked to the left and right, and Xingzhen flashed out of the darkness and asked, "How is it?"
Mingjue smiled and nodded, then asked: "Is there nothing strange?"
Xingzhen said: "Don't worry, the chief is here in person and won't let the people over there go in. You go back first and be careful on the way."
In the official post, Zhao Ran pondered for a long time and reported to Dongfang Li the matter of exchanging his mandala for the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" and being allowed to open a caravan with a flying talisman. At the same time, he explained Cheng'an's situation and presented it.
He told Dongfang Li that Cheng'an was safe for the time being, but he couldn't go back to the Ming Dynasty. He could only try his best to ensure his safety and let Tianlongyuan issue documents.
After a long time, Dongfang Li's reply came belatedly. It was an official letter stamped with Dongfang Li's seal from the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion. In the letter, he told Zhao Ran not to be deliberate about Cheng'an, let alone to be anxious.
, I will look for opportunities to rescue him in the future.
As for the mandala, Dongfang Li has already reported it to Elder Zhuo, the main hall of Sanqing Pavilion. The main hall replied that it can guarantee Cheng'an's safety and exchange for the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan", not to mention getting three hundred good horses.
, the main hall believes that this matter is feasible. At the same time, the main hall also stated that the mandala is Zhao Ran’s personal property, and the items exchanged are at Zhao Ran’s discretion.
Zhao Ran put this letter into his finger and kept it solemnly. Dongfang Li was very thoughtful about his safety, and he was very grateful for it.
Then came the second flying talisman from Dongfang Li, which was a private message from Dongfang Li. He hoped that Zhao Ran could go to the Yuhuang Pavilion after exchanging the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan". The words were full of meaning.
.
Zhao Ran understood it after thinking about it for a moment, smiled and said nothing more.
In the Bodhi Hall on the second day, Zhao Ran followed Mingjue to a side room. After entering, he saw Xingzhen and two deacons of the Bodhi Hall. One of them he had met before was the Bodhi Hall monk.
The other monk who was Wenda was very narrow-minded.
But it happened to be this very unfamiliar monk Yang Fan who was extremely enthusiastic about him. He was looking at the seats, serving tea, and saying "Zhao Xianchang" in every mouthful, which made Zhao Ran quite strange.
Generally speaking, most of the people who call Zhao Ran "immortal chief" are ordinary people in the secular world. Of course, there are some common people in Shifang Jungle who call him this, but not many. In any case, it is not the turn of a Tianlong.
The cultivating monks in the monastery call themselves "immortal chiefs", right? Are they just like Mingjue, and are they just his biggest fan?
Xingzhen handed over a document first, and Zhao Ran opened it and read it carefully, nodded and put it into his fingers. This document was issued by the Third Division of the Xia Kingdom, indicating that a certain business can travel across the country at will, and the officials and the people must not be embarrassed, and no commercial tax can be charged.
Note that the "XX" business name space is left blank and should be filled in by Zhao Ran.
Mingjue handed Zhao Ran another voucher. The voucher stated that Tianlongyuan guaranteed the personal safety of Ming businessman Cheng'an in the Xia Kingdom and would not restrict his actions in the Xia Kingdom. At the end, it was stamped with the first Shenxiu seal.
Zhao Ran carefully thought about the meaning of the voucher and couldn't help but sigh. This voucher is both a guarantee and a deterrent. The positive meaning is that it agrees to the conditions proposed by Zhao Ran, but on the other hand, thinking about it, Tianlongyuan's attitude
It is very clear - Cheng An's safety cannot be guaranteed when he leaves the Xia Kingdom. This means that Cheng An is clearly not allowed to leave the country. In the end, it even provides sufficient reasons for monitoring Cheng An. In order to ensure Cheng An's personal safety, Tianlongyuan
Is it necessary to deploy manpower to "protect" it?
There are knowledgeable people among the monks, and they are not simple at all! On this issue, Zhao Ran did not take much advantage, and could only suffer this "dumb loss" that was not considered a loss.
Next comes the highlight, at least what Tianlongyuan thinks is the most important original intention of Zhao Ran taking out the mandala - the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan".
