Thanks to brother yangzhigang for the reward. Fellow Taoists, please continue to help with Sanjiang tickets. It’s polite to poor Taoists!
Regarding the relationship between qualifications and foundation, Zhao Ran felt that he seemed to have touched the threshold and finally realized something. He was not angry at Mr. Tong's malicious ridicule. No matter what Mr. Tong's intentions were, whether he deliberately made fun of him or not
, he didn't mind at all, at least, he learned from the other party how to take this step, how to look at the world, and how to find the fog hidden behind the appearance.
The most important thing is that he knows that he has an extremely precious treasure! This treasure can help him step into the palace of monasticism from a mortal with neither qualifications nor roots, allowing him to gradually touch the unknown.
Same world.
Having no bones is not a terrible thing now. The qualifications have appeared, will the bones be far behind?
Although he was teased by Tong Lao, Zhao Ran still saluted the laughing Lao Tong solemnly and thanked him for his help. For someone like Zhao Ran who has no teacher, he wants to go further on the path of spiritual practice.
The farther you go, the most common advice becomes more precious.
Seeing that Zhao Ran was not angry, Mr. Tong gradually stopped laughing. He also felt bored and finally started talking about business.
"Zhao Xiaodao, I was having a good time in Chengdu, but my interest was disturbed by Master's sword call. I came all the way to your Wujiyuan because of your business. Well, to be honest, Master was annoyed because
You have borrowed his name time and time again to do your own thing. It was okay before. You were a little clever and used it to get a promotion in the Taoist academy. Because the impact was not big and it was excusable, it didn't matter if the master knew about it, but this time
This time it's different... You just became the Jingzhu of the Lao Shi Zi Sutra Hall, right? I know that job. You have to deal with boring Taoist scriptures all day long, and you have to teach others scriptures. It's so boring. I don't know what you want.
What, it is really unreasonable!..."
Zhao Ran lowered his head, looking frightened as he listened to the teachings, but secretly cursed in his heart: "If I were as lucky as you, I wouldn't be a quiet master!"
"Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if you become a Jingzhu yourself. Master doesn't care about it, but you made the matter so big that rumors spread not only in Xizhenwu Palace, but also in Xuanyuan Temple.
It is said that my master broke the Taoist rules and interfered with the jungles of the ten directions with the Zisun Temple. These words may spread to Lushan in the future, why won't your master be angry?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ran also felt ashamed. Of course, he was still a little dissatisfied. In fact, he didn't want to at first - in fact, he didn't dare to flaunt it under the banner of Chu Yangcheng, but it couldn't stop others from misunderstanding.
Especially this time, he was almost in an inexplicable whirlpool. Everyone took it for granted that his face could lead to Chu Yangcheng. In the end, he was forced to make mistakes, otherwise he would not be able to get out of it.
Tong Lao paused for a moment and then continued: "Master's intention is that if this continues, it will certainly not work. It will affect his reputation. If he still ignores me, it will be difficult for him to answer the question when Lushan investigates.
What do you think we should do?"
Zhao Ran's heart sank, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "I will make it clear to the prison and Sandu, and admit my mistake to my colleagues in the hospital..."
Tong Lao stared at Zhao Ran and asked: "Yes, Master and his original intention are the same, but - do you know the consequences?"
If this matter is exposed in public, even if Zhao Ran continues to stay in Wujiyuan with a shameful face, he will definitely not get any good results.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ran said in frustration: "Can you ask the Great Refiner to be lenient... I hope that after leaving Long'an Mansion, I can go to another Taoist temple, and I vow to never use the name of the Great Refiner again...
But, I don’t want to leave Daomen, I really don’t want to…”
Just kidding, it took a lot of effort for Zhao Ran to get where he is today, how can he just give it up? If only he could just pay back the past, he had also saved a lot of money, and it was not unacceptable to find a place to spend the rest of his life as a rich man with his money.
But now that he knows the usefulness of the little string around his waist, how can he be willing to leave just now? He still hopes to continue to advance, at least to add another "root bone" to his golden finger skills column
"No? It's easy to get a glimpse of the clues of cultivating Taoism. How can you let him be reluctant to look at it and look back?
Tong Lao scratched his head, looked at Zhao Ran's pitiful look, sighed and said: "What should we do..."
Hearing that the other party's tone seemed to be relaxed, Zhao Ran was not willing to let go of this opportunity, and immediately begged Ken: "Please give me some kind words in front of the Great Refiner, Mr. Tong, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
Tong Lao hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, let me tell you the truth. Master means that if you act like a fool and refuse to admit your mistakes, you will be expelled from the Taoist sect. In addition, Master also wants me to investigate and investigate. If you were the one before
Taking advantage of his name to do evil and make people unconscious, he must be severely punished! I have inquired about your experience in Guyang County in the past two years, and there is nothing evil. The reputation of Wujiyuan is also acceptable. I heard that you
You have excellent academic performance in the Jingtang Hall - this is something I admire very much, and you also helped Huayun Hall to catch monsters and received a reward... I went to ask the two brothers of the Zhuo family and they spoke very well of you. Well, therefore, I
I have just been thinking about what to do with you."
Hearing this, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He was so scared by this old man just now that he was really sweating.
Tong Lao continued: "Let's do this. Tomorrow, in front of me, I will admit my mistake to the Song Supervisor, the Three Capitals and the Eight Deacons. This is one; second, in addition to admitting my mistake, I still have to punish you, otherwise I will
I can't explain it to Master, so you pack your bags and follow me down the mountain. Don't stay in Wujiyuan any longer. I'll give you a different place so you can reflect carefully."
Zhao Ran hesitated and asked: "Mr. Tong, I wonder where you want to change places?"
Tong Lao glanced at Zhao Ran and said: "Zhao Xiaodao, don't worry, I won't expel you from the Taoist gate, I'm just leaving the Wuji courtyard - I don't know what kind of treatment there is in this Taoist courtyard... Well, if you want to come back in the future
Wujiyuan is fine too, I won’t stop you. I happen to have something to go to Ye Xueguan, just follow me.”
Zhao Ran was stunned, feeling that he had heard about this place, and couldn't help but ask: "Ye Xueguan? It seems to be northeast of Xuanwei Division in western Sichuan? What are you going to do there? Is there a Taoist temple there?"
Mr. Tong waved his hand and said: "I am going to Ye Xueguan, not you. After arriving at Ye Xueguan, you don't have to follow me. Just go to Baima Mountain to report. It's not far from Ye Xueguan to Baima Mountain.
When you get to Baili Di, the mountain road is a bit difficult to walk."
Baima Mountain? Zhao Ran's face changed color and he suddenly started sweating: "Why should I go to Baima Mountain? I don't know how to fight either. My martial arts skills are mediocre. No, I don't know any martial arts at all. I can't draw a bow or use a sword. If you can’t play with a gun... I won’t go!”
Mr. Tong immediately became angry, blowing his beard and glaring, jumping to scold Zhao Ran: "Damn, is this something you are picky about? If I ask you to go to Baima Mountain, just go there honestly. Do whatever you can do when you get there. , I have my own deployment in front of the army, and if you charge forward with a knife, you have to do it for me. Where is the room for bargaining? If you go, you will still be a member of the Taoist sect, and the position of Lord Jing will be reserved for you. If you If you don’t want to go, then get out of the Taoist gate and go wherever you like from now on. Everything has nothing to do with me!”
Zhao Ran said with a sad face: "That is a place where large armies are fighting. I, a weak Taoist boy, couldn't get into the battle even if I went there, and I lost my life in vain..."
I was still waiting for excuses, but Tong Lao shouted angrily and stopped me: "If you continue to push back, your ultimatum will be removed!"
Zhao Ran was extremely depressed, but he couldn't explain it in front of the old man, so he had no choice but to agree.
Little did Tong Lao know that Zhao Ran had cursed himself thousands of times in his heart, and had even greeted his eight generations of ancestors. Seeing that Zhao Ran responded, he nodded and said: "It's not a bad thing to go to Baima Mountain. After experiencing it, it's good to come back." Qualifications, if you are lucky and make meritorious deeds, you can still get Taoist rewards. What a great opportunity. You are such a novice, you really don’t know good and evil. If I hadn’t seen you fall in love, how would I have given you this good opportunity!"
Zhao Ran didn't dare to say anything more, and just cursed in his heart: "Of course good luck is a good thing, but if you have bad luck, you will die as soon as you leave? Where can there be so much good luck in the world? Especially between battles, bad luck Most of the time it's good... What does it mean to fall in love with each other? It's my bad luck that you, a short boy, fall in love with me..."
