Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Zhao Ran and Yu Zhiyuan were chatting in full swing, the Huo Gong layman brought out the food, which was a bowl of piled white rice, a plate of chopped green onion and eggs, a bowl of green vegetable soup, and a plate of brightly fried chili peppers.

    Zhao Ran couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears. This was the first time he had eaten white rice since time travel!  He devoured all the food, and if he hadn't been concerned about his image, he would have even licked all the foam on the plate!

    After finishing the meal, Zhao Ran, who was still unsatisfied, was dragged away by Yu Zhiyuan. Yu Zhiyuan impatiently took Zhao Ran to his house and showed Zhao Ran some of his proud works written in handwriting on the table.  Then comment.

    ¡°Zhao Ran¡¯s witty words really gifted him many witty sentences used in later generations¡¯ books to praise good calligraphy, which made Yu Zhiyuan very happy.  Yu Zhiyuan asked Zhao Ran to write and polished it himself.

    Zhao Ran said a few words of humility, then stopped declining, pondered for a moment, and wrote four large characters in running script: "Qu Shui Shui Shang".

    After finishing writing, I saw Yu Zhiyuan frowning and thinking hard, with a very strange expression.

    Zhao Ran said: "The boy showed his embarrassment and stained the Taoist priest's Dharma eyes. Don't blame the Taoist priest."

    Yu Zhiyuan's eyes were always fixed on the four big characters, he shook his head and murmured: "No, no, no, strange This word suddenly moves to the left, sometimes to the right, but it is rigorous and neat, and it is straight and straight.  It¡¯s so steep and puzzling.¡±

    "Zhao Ran wrote the Qi Gong style, which was famous in later generations. It was completely different from traditional calligraphy that focused on the Zhongzheng style. No wonder Yu Zhiyuan couldn't understand it.  Zhao Ran did not explain that this was a tactic he used to whet Zhiyuan's appetite and should not be exposed easily. He just asked that it was getting late and he didn't know if he could arrange a night's rest.

    Yu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered this incident, and quickly took a break from studying calligraphy, and took Zhao Ran to the living room to rest.

    The living room of Wujiyuan is divided into two parts. The Yunshui Hall accommodates Taoist priests who have made reservations, while the Shifang Hall accommodates believers and lay people who stay overnight.  Zhao Ran stayed in Shifang Hall that night.

    ¡­¡­

    In the backyard of Jiazi's residence, the middle hall is brightly lit with candles.

    Zhong Tenghong of the Prison Court held a cup of tea and carefully placed it on the table. Then he turned behind Lao Tao who was leaning on the Tianshi chair. He lightly punched Lao Tao's shoulders with his fists, gradually moved to his back and waist, and then turned back.  up.  This goes on and on.

    The old Taoist squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment. He waved his hand gently. Zhong Tenghong paused. The old Taoist picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Then he drank it all in one gulp and said happily: "The leaves of this Linghua flower are very good."

    Zhong Tenghong waited for the old Taoist to put down the tea cup, and then began to beat it lightly. While beating it, he said: "Abbott, this is specially sent by the Zhou Prefecture. It just arrived today. It has a total of three kilograms."

    The abbot smiled brightly: "This thing is extremely rare. Master Zhou weighs three kilograms in one hand, but he thinks highly of me as an expert Well, the left shoulder blade is a little heavier"

    Zhong Tenghong changed his strength and punched the abbot's left shoulder, and then said: "The Chief Envoy Si Youshou has decided to take office at the end of the year, and the Governor of Zhou wants to take it to the next level"

    The abbot shook his head: "How can it be so easy? Is there no one in his court?"

    Zhong Tenghong explained: "Wai Lang, a member of the civil service department, has a close friendship with Zhou Zhifu, and they are both in the same year of science and technology. However, the weight of each province's participation is different after all"

    The abbot said happily: "Even so, Mr. Zhou should go to Xuanyuan Temple. If it is not possible, he should also find a way to the West Zhenwu Palace, but why should he be involved if he doesn't come to my Wuji Courtyard?"

    Zhong Tenghong complimented: "So Mr. Zhou is a sensible person. Naturally, he is not asking for Wujiyuan, but for you, the abbot. Wujiyuan can't help him, but you are different. You can say a word.  Everything others say is stronger than ten words."

    The abbot pointed behind his back and said with a smile: "You are the only one who can speak with this mouth! Honestly, have you agreed to this?"

    Zhong Tenghong smiled apologetically and said, "How dare you agree? I just agreed to help him ask you about your age."

    The abbot smiled and said no more. Zhong Tenghong knew that the matter was probably done, and he was determined.  So he changed the subject and said: "The Great Refiner is here today. Although your status is valuable, your old health is not good, so why bother to welcome him personally? You should take care of yourself."

    The abbot shook his head: "Teng Hong, you have come up step by step. You have enough talent and experience, but you have never been above. You must remember one thing, the people in the pavilion are different from us in Shifang Forest.  , let¡¯s talk about it, we are still people of the secular world, but you are a true cultivator of Taoism! If you are still stuck in the secular world, even if you are lucky enough to embark on the road of palace contemplation in the future, you will definitely run into trouble!"

    This was the tone of admonishment. Zhong Tenghong quickly put away his smile, looked solemn, and respectfully said "yes".

    The abbot said again: "Although we are a small Taoist temple, we still need to pay attention to the warning message sent by the great alchemist today. You will arrange it tomorrow."?Let Longshan Temple also be more vigilant. They are close to Songfan Guards and must guard against Buddhist infiltration.  The White Horse Mountain Formation has lost its effectiveness, and Xuanyuan Temple and Xizhenwu Palace have to worry about it But we can't relax either.  Starting from tomorrow, we will arrange a round of inspections in the Fangtang area from Ninggu to Longshan. There are suspicious Buddhist monsters that need to be caught immediately!  "

    Zhong Tenghong responded yes, then hesitated and said: "Abbott, when the great alchemist came just now, he didn't mention the young man named Zhao Ran. Now Zhao Ran is still in the courtyard"

    The abbot made no sound, waved his hand and said, "You can just deal with this matter. I'm tired and I need to rest."

    Zhong Tenghong left Jiazi Residence and returned to the prison where he lived. He summoned Deacon Jia, the acquaintance of the living room, and Deacon Hong, the master of Fangtang, and ordered them to go to Shifangtang to meet Zhao Ran. He himself was in the prison.  Waiting for news.

    Soon after, Deacon Jia and Deacon Hong returned hand in hand.

    "How?" Zhong Tenghong asked.

    Deacon Jia reported: "Prison Court, I just asked. According to Zhao Ran, the Great Master Refiner was his benefactor and saved his life. He did not elaborate on the details. What Zhao Ran meant was  I want to enter my Wuji Academy to learn Taoism, and I am extremely urgent in my words."

    "Who is this guy from?"

    "I am from Zhaojiazhuang, Shiquan County. I have been studying in a private school for several years. Both my parents are dead. I have three acres of thin farmland at home. My family is very poor."

    Zhong Tenghong frowned and looked at Deacon Hong. Deacon Hong nodded and said: "Prison Court, in fact, from what I think, if Zhao Ran can train him, the Great Refiner will not leave him here. Since this son's family is poor, it is very difficult for him to stay here."  It¡¯s possible that the Great Refiner just wants the courtyard to give him food, but there¡¯s no other underlying meaning. Maybe we¡¯re overthinking it.¡±

    Deacon Jia suddenly said: "In the Supervisory Academy, the Great Refiner did not mention how to arrange Zhao Ran's affairs when he left. I estimate that the Great Refiner will not mind whether Zhao Ran is retained or not. If the Supervisory Academy  If you are in trouble, you can just give him a pen and send him away."

    There are quotas for positions and Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. One more person will cost more. Therefore, new posts every year are very rare.  Xizhenwu Palace issues an order to Wujiyuan to increase the number of Taoist priests every three years, ranging from three to one, so the quotas are very precious.

    In addition to Taoists with formal ultimatums, the Wuji Academy can also recruit some firework lay practitioners on its own, but these quotas are often used by the academy for favors and even to absorb large donations.

    Zhong Tenghong felt that what Deacon Jia said was reasonable. Based on the current situation, the Great Refiner would not mind whether he accepted Zhao Ran or not. Just when he was about to adopt Deacon Jia's opinion, he suddenly remembered what the abbot had just reminded him -  -The people in the pavilion are different from those in the jungles of Shifang. These words still rang in his ears, making him hesitate again.  After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind and said: "Since it is the person brought by the Great Refiner, we must do something convenient anyway. Well, first send someone to Shiquan County to investigate and verify the origin of this child. As long as he is not a criminal,  If you are a disciple, just accept him."

    In Taoist temples, the abbot is always respected, but the abbot does not directly intervene in secular affairs, and most affairs are handled by the supervisor.  Especially for a Taoist temple like Wujiyuan, where the old abbot is in poor health and unwilling to interfere with trivial matters, Zhong Tenghong, the supervisory house, has great authority. When he makes a decision, Deaconess Jia and Deacon Hong will naturally not object.

    The duties of a new layman in the fire industry need to be arranged according to the rules, but when he thought of Chu Yangcheng, Zhong Tenghong hesitated, so he looked at Deacon Jia and Deacon Hong with slight hesitation.  Deacon Jia thought for a while and said: "In the prison, I think we should follow the rules. It is said that the great refiner is an upright person. If we go too far, it will be bad"

    Zhong Tenghong nodded: "Okay, that's it."
