Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran only slept for more than an hour before he was dragged by Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai to the dining hall for dinner. He was so dizzy that he finished breakfast and did not remember that he was imprisoned by his second brother and his group for cleaning the house.  After being bullied a few times, he went back to the West Room and fell asleep with his head covered.

    In the afternoon, Zhao Ran finally came back to his senses. He had just wiped his face with water, but Yu Zhiyuan from the living room came to the door and took him to his room to write a letter.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity while Yu Zhiyuan was unfolding the text and thinking carefully, Zhao Ran listened and inquired about Yu Zhiyuan's experience in entering the Taoist gate.  Yu Zhiyuan has been in Wujiyuan for thirteen years. Like Zhao Ran, he also cleaned the dormitory when he first came in. After more than eight months of cleaning, he moved to the house and cleaned the house. He also did cooking and lighting.  Because he liked calligraphy and painting, he was later transferred to the accounting room to copy account books.  In the sixth year, that is, four years ago, the old doorman of Wujiyuan's living room passed away, leaving an additional position. Only then did Yu Zhiyuan receive the most important opportunity in his life so far.

    At that time, Xizhenwu Palace agreed that Wujiyuan would deploy its own services from within the courtyard, so a certain chanting Taoist boy in the sutra hall was honored to be transferred to the door of the guest hall. The resulting vacancy of the sutra chanting boy was filled by Zhiyuan.  From then on, Yu Zhiyuan became one of the official Taoists with a degree of ultimatum, and his identity was completely different from before.

    A year later, the chanting Taoist boy who was transferred to the door of the living room (Yu Zhiyuan could not remember the name of the Taoist boy) died in an accident. Yu Zhiyuan defeated more than a dozen classmates who were more qualified than him and occupied the position.  The door of the living room.

    The front door of the guest hall is one of the "Five Masters and Eighteen Heads" of the Taoist Temple. They are Taoist priests with duties. They are under the jurisdiction of Zhike among the eight deacons, and their duty is to welcome guests.  This job is not only glamorous to do, but also lucrative. It is considered the first-class and most generous position among the "Five Lords and Eighteen Heads".  Zhao Ran's current boss, Zhou Zhixiu, is on the same level as Yu Zhiyuan, but he is not even the slightest bit worse in every aspect.

    Zhao Ran wanted to find out more about how Yu Zhiyuan successfully joined the ranks of Taoist priests, and how he stood out from many competitors and became the head of the Taoist priests. However, Yu Zhiyuan was vague and just smiled and encouraged Zhao Ran to work harder.

    Although Yu Zhiyuan did not give any tips on Zhao Ran's smooth promotion, he was still very concerned about Zhao Ran's daily life.  At this time, he already knew that Zhao Ran's family was poor, so he personally took Zhao Ran to the warehouse to get another set of clothes for Zhao Ran.

    Liu Kutou, who was in charge of the warehouse, was still pushing Pai Gow with a group of Taoist priests. Seeing Yu Zhiyuan's arrival, he immediately stood up with an eager smile on his face: "Why does Junior Brother Yu have time to come here today? Come on, let's push two together?"  He stood up and asked the people around him to give up their seats to Yu Zhiyuan.

    At this time, another fat Taoist priest in the seat also straightened up and greeted Yu Zhiyuan: "Junior brother Yu, what brought you here? Have a play?"

    Yu Zhiyuan smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Guo, I am not good at this, and you all know it. There will be a lot of disturbance when I come here today" He pointed at Zhao Ran: "This is Zhao Ran who is newly admitted to the hospital.  He was admitted to the hospital in a hurry and he brought few clothes. If there is more in the treasury, please ask Senior Brother Liu to take care of him."

    Liu Kutou immediately responded: "If others are here, how can it be without Junior Brother Yu? There is no reason!" After saying that, he ordered a pyrotechnician beside him to go into the warehouse and bring out a set of clothes, and stuffed them into Zhao Ran's arms.  He said with concern: "Brother Zhao, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. If you don't need to work hard for me, junior brother, come here in person. Do you think there is anything else missing besides clothes?"

    Zhao Ran thought for a while, since he came with Yu Zhiyuan, he owed a favor, so he simply said without being polite: "Liu Kutou, if you can give me another two feet of maggot, I will be grateful!"

    Liu Kutou said it was easy, and asked the fireman to take out two feet of magnolia and give it to Zhao Ran.

    After joking for a while, Yu Zhiyuan took Zhao Ran out of the warehouse. Liu Kutou and others greeted each other graciously behind, as if Yu Zhiyuan was a senior brother.

    When turning around, Zhao Ran was a little curious: "Yu Mentou, can't our Taoist temple prohibit gambling games?"

    Yu Zhiyuan said: "There are also precepts in the Daomen Palace and Guanyuan, but the restrictions in the sutra hall are slightly stricter, and the various duties are not paid much attention to. Otherwise, how can these many people keep it if the mountain gate is poor and miserable?  If we are to refrain from this and that, how can the Taoist sect survive? Of course, the Quanzhen sect is much stricter in observing the rules, but if you go to the Quanzhen Taoist temple, you will know that it is far less prosperous than the Taoist temples of our Zheng sect."

    Zhao Ran knew for the first time that it was the Zhengyi Taoist temple that came from home, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.  Yu Zhiyuan also gave his wholehearted guidance: "Our Zhengyi sect is the Fulu Taoist sect. What we pay attention to is blending nature, using the energy of heaven and earth to transform into talismans, integrating man and nature, and forming elixirs on the outside to express one's destiny. The Quanzhen sect focuses on internal cultivation.  , combine the yin and yang of heaven and earth within to form an elixir. Whether it is a talisman or an elixir, they are all cultivation methods, and the fundamentals of pursuing the way of heaven are the same."

    Listening to Yu Zhiyuan¡¯s introduction, Zhao Ran remembered that?Chu Yangcheng nodded half-understood to what he said, "Inner elixirs can ascend, and talismans can also ascend. Cultivation depends entirely on one's own efforts, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior techniques." In fact, he had no idea in his heart.  Half a clue.

    Seeing the confusion on Zhao Ran's face, Yu Zhiyuan laughed: "There is no reason to tell you what to do. They are all principles learned by monks and have nothing to do with our Shifang Jungle. Even if you can get the ultimatum in the future, you will just go  It's just a matter of studying the rules of etiquette. We are all ordinary people, and we have no destiny to practice Taoism" After saying this, he looked desolate.

    After a moment, Yu Zhiyuan said again: "As for Zhengyi and Quanzhen, you only need to know that the ancestor of Zhengyi is Zhang Tianshi, and the ancestor of Quanzhen is Zhenren Chongyang. That is enough."

    Before leaving, Yu Zhiyuan told Zhao Ran: "Although there are Taoist games in the courtyard, you must not indulge in them. There are many doorways here, and just from what you have seen, there are a lot of tricks in them. Some words  I shouldn¡¯t say it, but I really don¡¯t want you to fall into it. Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Guo, in the name of inviting bets, gather money and only rely on their quick hands, which is unknown to ordinary people.¡±

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I'm not good at this either, just don't worry about the door. It's just that the two of them act like this, does the courtyard not care?"

    Yu Zhiyuan said: "In our Taoist sect, the disciplines in the temples are a little strict, but the Taoist temples are much looser. These are all side issues, and no one pays attention to them. The ages of Liu Kutou and Guo Caitou, I think.  It is no longer possible to take another step forward. In a few years, he will leave the mountain and return to his hometown. Therefore, he has opened up a wide range of financial avenues. This is to earn a fortune. As long as he does not make any big mistakes, he can be left alone."

    Zhao Ran suddenly realized: "I understand, our Taoist temple is down-to-earth, in fact, it is no different from the government."

    Yu Zhiyuan smiled: "Being down-to-earth? This is an interesting statement. Yes, it is exactly like that. Just understand."

    Back to the west room, they saw Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai unhappy. After asking for a while, they found out that Brother Guan had started a gambling game in the afternoon, and Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai each spent several thousand dollars.

    Zhao Ran smiled, it seems that the style of gambling is quite popular in Wuji Courtyard, so he comforted the two of them: "Playing and gambling, there are winners and losers. If you lose today, you will be the same again tomorrow. Just don't play too much."  Just be big.¡±

    Jiao Tan said angrily: "Losing some money is nothing, I just can't stand Guan Er's face!"

    During dinner, Guan¡¯s second brother Xu was in a good mood because he won money and did not embarrass Zhao Ran. Instead, he greeted everyone at the dinner table and said that he would continue to play bank after dinner and let everyone play together.  Zhao Ran has no wealth, so of course he is grateful but not sensitive.

    Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai followed them to the north room, vowing to turn over their books, while Zhao Ran returned to the room to try on the new Taoist robes.  Now that he had two sets of Taoist robes from the warehouse, he made up his mind that from now on he would wear Taoist robes every day and wear his own tattered clothes when working.

    Zhao Ran took off his tattered outer robe and went to untie his trousers. Only then did Zhao Ran remember that the trousers were taken off from the dead ghost son of the guarding eunuch in Qingping Mountain that day. He had not bothered to check them yet.  What exactly is this baby.

    Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai were both playing money in the north room. The shouts and shouts could be heard throughout the yard. There was no time to turn around for the time being. Zhao Ran locked the door of the west room and then took off his trousers.

    There was a hidden button on one end of the trouser cord. After untying it, Zhao Ran pulled out a thin green rope from inside.  The thin rope was dark in color, neither gold nor silver, nor any metal that Zhao Ran had ever seen.  But it is definitely not jade. No jade can be as flexible and elastic as this thin rope.  It's said to be beef tendon or snake tendon, but it doesn't look like it, because when you pinch a section of it alone, it obviously feels very hard.

    Zhao Ran played with it for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He was a little disappointed, so he rolled up the string in his hand and tried to stuff it back into his trousers.  Unexpectedly, the strength of his hand was not stable, and one end of this elastic string collapsed, creating a very thin wound on Zhao Ran's cheek.

    A faint trace of blood appeared on Zhao Ran's cheek.
