Wei Zhizhen was very pleased to see that Zhao Ran had brought back another disciple: "Zhiran has been paying attention to the inheritance of the disciples in the sect in the past two years. This is a good thing. Seeing that my tower is getting more prosperous day by day, and the number of disciples is increasing day by day, I feel very emotional.
Ah, don’t worry Zhiran, I have already retrieved the bone-setting pill, and when it is ready in a few days, I will ask the teacher to preside over the altar."
Zhao Ran said to Qu Fengshan: "This is my senior brother Lou Guan. After you have your bones set, you will become his disciple. From now on, you can call me junior uncle."
Qu Fengshan hurriedly bowed down and saluted. Of course, this was not yet a formal apprenticeship ceremony. Whether he could truly become an apprentice would depend on his bone setting.
Qu Fenghe was by his side, and he immediately took Qu Fengshan and started to liven things up. After a few months of being granted the title of Tang, he was no longer as restrained as he was at that time. However, due to his temperament, he didn't speak much, he just smiled and nodded to Qu Fengshan.
Zhao Ran pulled Wei Zhizhen aside and asked, "How about sealing the Tang Dynasty?"
Wei Zhizhen nodded: "Sure enough, he is a very talented practitioner. He has perseverance in his heart and is extremely focused on seeking the Tao. He has already entered Taoism in less than half a year. It is estimated that in three months, he will be able to enter the Taoist realm.
Feng He is much stronger. Junior brother, you can take a look when you are wandering outside. If there is such material, bring in a few more."
Zhao Ran said helplessly: "Senior Brother, do you think you are just a cabbage? It's so easy. It would be great to meet one. Although the new Qu Fengshan has no foundation, he has excellent qualifications and is suitable for our Louguan Taoist team.
Fa. He should be making good progress after his bone is set. Senior brother, please pay more attention to it. By the way, senior brother, I work very hard outside and don’t just hang around. When you teach the disciples, you should also save some face for me, junior brother."
Wei Zhizhen said: "Understood, what I mean is, one is pretending to be a red face and the other is a white face. Don't they all say that this method is effective? I feel aggrieved to my junior brother. Seeing that you are going down the mountain again like this? The promotion of a new disciple
Are you not going to participate in the Dharma altar?"
Zhao Ran said: "Do you mean red face and white face? I have a black face. I am so black-faced. Senior brother, please save some face for me...I will not participate in the promotion altar. If there are not enough people, senior brother will
Go to Qingqing Valley and ask Uncle Lin for help, or Senior Sister Song. She is also a golden elixir. If not, there is Taoist Qingyi. She is in the same realm as you, Senior Brother. We are all a family. Senior Brother, there is no need to be formal.
If it's time for them to take action, bring it up openly and they won't shirk it."
Just as he was talking, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman, looked at it and said: "Elder brother, that little girl from the Pei family is coming again."
Wei Zhizhen asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Ran smiled, shook his head and said: "There is a loose cultivator named Meng Yanzhen who has been going to Qingyun Pavilion to pester her recently. She is here to find Qingjing."
Wei Zhizhen thought for a moment and said, "Meng Yanzhen from Yangshan Academy?"
Zhao Ran said: "This is the guy. He wrote a lot of poems to Junior Sister Pei, almost clearly expressing his admiration. After being decisively rejected by Junior Sister Pei, he still refused to give up. He also said that he wanted Dongfang Jing to help propose marriage."
Wei Zhizhen said: "This kind of scoundrel just needs a beating. Junior brother, do you plan to take action? Or should you let third junior brother do it?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "That's not to say that Huang Guan, a casual cultivator, is not worthy of our action. This kind of thing cannot be stopped by intimidation. Maybe if we really beat him, he will use it as an excuse to pester Pei.
Junior sister is even tighter. He and Dongfang Jing are good friends. Pei Zhongze wrote to me, saying that for Dongfang Jing's sake, he would not beat her or scold her, so he could only let her come and hide for a while on our Maharaja Mountain.
"
Wei Zhizhen said seriously: "Junior brother, does Pei Zhongze mean for you to marry her? I think that little girl is nice and she cares about you very much. The marriage between our Zongsheng Hall and Qingyun Hall can be considered a good relationship.
How about you just accept it?"
Zhao Ran felt confused for a while: "Oh, it's a pity that I have my own heart, and I can't tolerate others for a while..."
Wei Zhizhen also shook his head: "Junior brother, if Junior Sister Zhou doesn't want to, we can't force others to do anything. Junior brother, we have to be more open-minded."
"Eh? Senior brother, how could you tell?"
"Do you still need to see this? Even blind people know this. Senior brother, am I blind?"
"Senior brother, do you think there is any way to make Junior Sister Zhou change her mind?"
"I asked Senior Uncle Lin for you. Senior Uncle Lin said that it has something to do with Junior Sister Zhou's practice and it is not convenient for her to interfere."
"Oh my, senior brother, why are you so direct? There is no way out if you do this!"
"It's not direct. I asked Uncle Lin through Taoist Qingyi. Junior brother, don't worry, our Lou Guan did not come forward. Although junior brother, you were rejected for the second time, Lou Guan did not embarrass himself again. In addition, junior brother, I still
I want to advise you to let go when it’s time to let go. You can’t ruin Junior Sister Zhou’s path for your own selfish desires. What’s more, Wenqing Valley has already been included in the Zongsheng Hall. What does your marriage to Junior Sister Zhou mean to our Louguan?
It’s not very big, wouldn’t it be a waste of an opportunity?”
Zhao Ran said displeased: "Senior brother, how can you use my marriage as a bargaining chip in exchange? This is my true love!"
"That day at the Jade Emperor's Summit, you made three suggestions for getting married to the Louguan disciples. First, they must have suitable cultivation, second, they must have a distinguished family background, and third, they must have a docile temperament. I fully agree with this."
"This... let's talk about my business later. Anyway, I'm going down the mountain soon. When Junior Sister Pei comes, Senior Brother will give her a good reception."
Wei Zhizhen asked: "What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Ran said: "It's okay. I may not be here during the time she comes here. Senior brother just lets her live in. She can play with whoever she likes. We just don't need her food and clothing."
After Qu Fengshan was settled properly, Zhao Ran returned to Baima Courtyard. Seeing that the resettlement of the new batch of refugees was in full swing, he wanted to go and take care of them.
During this year's spring plowing, Baima Yuan received another 3,000 acres of farmland by the river vacated by the Hongyuan Guards Station. These cultivated lands were fertile land. Building houses in Baima Yuan were registered as land, and only one bushel per mu was allocated to the garrison.
This is already a huge advantage.
When Zhao Ran and Yuan Hao met, the first thing they asked about was the farming organization of this good land.
Yuan Hao said: "These fields have been allocated to the five hundred newly arrived refugees in the capital. The refugees have been resettled and the fields have been sown. They are currently repairing the houses and trying to dig canals from the Baihe River. Lei Shan went there personally to catch these people.
Jinmiao Zhu from the Xiaojie Temple is also helping with this matter. This Jinmiao Zhu is really good, tsk tsk, I heard that his family was born as a county captain, but I didn’t expect him to be so good at farming. Lei Shan mentioned it to me several times
He said that with Zhu from the Golden Temple here, he can almost let it go. The abbot has chosen a good candidate, with a very accurate vision, and I admire him!"
Zhao Ran smiled and recounted the experience when Jin Jiu followed him to start the new Junshan Temple, and said: "This is a capable person who can stand on his own. After he is familiar with the situation, he will be able to use it more smoothly.
Ha ha."
Yuan Hao sighed: "I see, it's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers." He patted his head again: "I almost forgot something. During the time I left the prison, an official document came from the Governor's Mansion of Western Sichuan. Luo Dian made it
After working in our Baima Hospital for the past few years, he has made some achievements, and he is going to be transferred to the Xuanwei Division in Western Sichuan."
Zhao Ran was stunned and asked: "Why were you suddenly transferred? Are you going to take any position in the Xuanwei Department in Western Sichuan?"
