    Zhao Ran came out of Song Zhiyuan's dormitory and bumped into Zhong Tenghong, the supervisor of the prison. This was the person in charge of Wujiyuan. It was rare to see him, so he quickly bowed his head and stood aside, respectfully saying, "I've seen the prison."

    Zhong Tenghong caught a glimpse of Zhao Ran. Remembering that this person was brought here by the great master alchemist Chu Yangcheng, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you Zhao Ran? How are you doing recently?"

    Zhao Ran replied: "The Labor Prison is concerned, so Zhao Ran is fine."

    Zhong Tenghong nodded: "Working in a private housing? Are you still used to it?"

    Zhao Ran said: "It has been more than four months since we cleaned the house, and now we have moved the dining room."

    Zhong Tenghong said "Hmm" and said, "That's good. It's easy to take care of. If you have any difficulties, come and see me."

    This was a polite word from a superior. It did not mean that you could go to him for help if you really encountered difficulties. Zhao Ran understood this completely and thanked him immediately.

    Zhong Tenghong had something to do, so he casually comforted Zhao Ran with a few words, and then hurried to Jiaziju where the abbot lived.

    The abbot was pruning flowers and plants in the flower bed of Jiaziju. When he saw Zhong Tenghong's irritable look, he couldn't help but frown and said: "Be calm and calm when facing important events! How can you still be rough-tempered after being a monk for so many years?"

    The prisoner said "yes" and swallowed back the words. He accompanied the abbot to cut a few autumn orchid leaves together, and then used a watering can to suck the leaves clean. Then he said: "Abbott, Jian Ji is watching the visitor. He wants to be there."  White Horse Mountain convened a grand Dharma meeting, not only to discuss the matter of repelling Buddhism, but also to re-deploy the White Horse Mountain formation."

    The abbot said "Oh" and asked: "Someone is coming from Lushan? But I don't know which real person is coming down the mountain?"

    "I heard that they follow the true person."

    The abbot said happily: "Zhang Yangming? It seems that the general view attaches great importance to this matter and actually sent him here."

    "Yes, Xuanyuan Guan has issued an edict, asking all palaces, courtyards, pavilions and pavilions in Sichuan Province to send people to Baima Mountain to wait for the orders of the real person."

    "When it comes to fighting, the palace will take care of it. Our palace will do our best to provide the necessary supplies for the formation What, do you want to go?"

    Zhong Tenghong was a little hesitant and said: "Well, after all, it's the General Guan who came here. Xuanyuan Guan issued the edict. Our Wujiyuan can't seem too negligent, can we?"

    The abbot smiled half-heartedly and stared at Zhong Tenghong for a moment: "I know what you are thinking, but if you listen to my advice, it's okay not to take advantage of this opportunity."

    Zhong Tengyun was puzzled: "Why is this?"

    "A true person is strict and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. If he is served well, it will be fine. If there is any mistake, it will cause trouble."

    "Butwhat does the abbot mean?"

    "Let others go! If it is done well, it is the credit of Wujiyuan. You are the supervisory house, and you can't escape this benefit. If you go wrong, it will have nothing to do with you. If the real person is blamed, someone else will take the responsibility.  Of course, if you really want to go, you must be fully prepared and make sure you don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡±

    Zhong Tenghong was silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and said: "Just listen to the abbot's words In the abbot's opinion, who is the right person to send?"

    The abbot yawned: "Well, you can decide for yourself."

    "How is Jia Zhichong? He is the oldest, so he is calm and mellow, so he will not miss his job. Furthermore, Zhike is the first of the eight deacons, which is enough to show that we attach great importance to Wujiyuan"

    The abbot waved his hand and said impatiently: "I'm tired, you can figure it out yourself."

    Zhong Tenghong responded "yes" and exited Jiaziju.

    Not to mention that Zhong Tenghong went to the living room to arrange the trip to Baima Mountain with Zhike Jia Zhichong, but Zhao Ran left the backyard and did not report to the dining room immediately, but went straight to the back mountain.

    ¡° Of course it¡¯s a good thing that he doesn¡¯t have to continue cleaning, but he has to inform Lao Dao quickly and settle Lao Dao¡¯s salary at the same time.

    Zhao Ran passed through Guanyuntai and followed the path to Qingtan. There was no one at Qingtan. He came to the top again and did not see the old Taoist.  When they turned around to the clear pool and were about to wait, they saw a piece of paper stamped on a branch on the thatched roof.  Zhao Ran took it off and took a look. There were a few lines of words written crookedly on the paper, which was exactly the handwriting of the veteran:

    "You brat, I heard that you don't have to do the cleaning anymore. Congratulations! I have something to do, so I'll take the first step. The salary is 8,300 yuan. I've calculated it very clearly. I'll leave it with you first and pick it up when I have time.  , you must stop being greedy. I gave you the hut and the fishing rod, so I packed them up and kept them in mind. There is something strange about your broken belt, but I can¡¯t figure it out even though I¡¯m experienced. I¡¯ll talk about it in the future. Also,  Now that you have entered the Taoist sect, just read some Taoist books and don¡¯t mess around all day long. By the way, be kind to the old donkey. That¡¯s it, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Zhao Ran looked at the paper, took a deep breath, and secretly laughed and cursed: "Who has been messing around all day? This old man,?You are not ashamed to say this!  "Looking at the broken hut and the fishing rod leaning against the hut, he shook his head and said to himself: "Who cares about your shabby things? You can give them away if they are lost!  "I read the old Taoist's handwriting several times again, feeling disdainful: "I have learned so many Chinese characters from me, but I still haven't made any progress!  "

    Standing on the bank of the pond, Zhao Ran's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but think again, this old man is obviously uneducated, but he still learns how to write letters from others, and he doesn't even say a word before leaving. Look, this letter is written in a vulgar way.  It's unbearable.

    Zhao Ran stayed by the pond for who knows how long. He cleaned up the dead grass that fell on the hut, put the broken fishing rod in place, and then turned around and left.

    He had just left the private house at this time and had not yet reported to Li Fantou in the dining room. He was not restrained for the time being, so he greeted the Fangtang pyrotechnical layman who was on duty at the entrance of Wujiyuan and went down the mountain gate.

    Because of Wujiyuan, there are often small merchants selling carts and groceries squatting under the mountain gate, and there is even a tea shop on the roadside.  Zhao Ran found a handlebar type and spent five taels of silver to buy the donkey he was pulling.  For five taels of silver and a donkey, Zhao Ran was obviously treated as a mutton and was brutally slaughtered.

    But Zhao Ran didn¡¯t take it to heart. Ever since he entered Wujiyuan, he had become accustomed to being slaughtered like a sheep. Who said that Taoist priests and Huoju were regarded as being taken advantage of by merchants?

    He led the donkey up the mountain, entered Wujiyuan, took him to the trough house, and told the trough head his purpose.  When Caotou saw that Zhao Ran had replaced the old and worn-out donkey with a strong one, he agreed happily.  From today on, the old donkey belongs to Zhao Ran, but it is still fostered in the trough. Zhao Ran still has to pay the trough's daily maintenance fee of ten cents.

    "Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey, the old man committed a crime and ran away, leaving us here to depend on each other. But you don't have to be sad. It's definitely better to follow me than follow that guy! From today on, we don't have to go cleaning the house, you  He will be born and raised here. He will eat and drink well. We will raise his hair to be shiny and his flesh to be fat. When the guy comes back, let him have a look and let him be envious and jealous!"

    "Angang¡ª¡ª"

    After finishing his chores, Zhao Ran carried the parcel and reported to Li Fantou in the dining room.  Li Fantou's name is Li Zhiwen. According to Taoist rules, anyone who has received an ultimatum must be listed in the list of Taoist priests. The basis for sorting is the seniority of the name.  There is a generation in the Taoist sect every twenty years. Anyone who enters the Taoist sect within these twenty years and receives the ultimatum will be a member of the same generation.  This generation of Taoist priests is called the Zhi generation, which is taken from the word "zhi" in the eight characters "Lulu Tiaoyang, Yunteng Zhiyu". The word "zhi" needs to be added in the middle of the name.  If Zhao Ran can become a serious Taoist priest who can accept the ultimatum within two years, then he will follow this example and change his name to "Zhao Zhiran".

    Of course, this kind of generational rule is only limited to the Dao Sect Shifang Jungle, but in the Zisun Temple, the order is based on the name of the first master worshiped, which is also based on these eight characters.

    "Compared to Zhou Zhixiu, the head of the house, Li Zhiwen is obviously much richer. The two fat pieces on his cheeks are shiny and bubbling, and he walks unsteadily.  Guo Caitou of the kitchen is ready to return to his hometown and gradually fade away from daily affairs, so Li Zhiwen is in charge of both the dining room and the kitchen.

    Li Zhiwen asked Zhao Ran to find a place to stay first, and told him to go to the kitchen of the dining hall to do some work one hour before dinner, and then Shi Shiran went.

    The fire workers in the dining room and vegetable room are crowded into a small courtyard, but because there are fewer people, it is much more spacious than the clean room and the private room.  There are three people in the dining room and four people in the kitchen room. There are only seven people in total, so basically two people share a room, and Zhang Ze from the kitchen room occupies the room in the middle of the north.
