Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On August 18, the 14th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xia fought outside the Hulujiakou. When the two armies had completed their formations, a large number of monks suddenly broke out from the Hulu Valley, causing serious impact on their respective formations.  Due to the sudden incident, the two armies did not fire a single shot and each restrained their troops and retreated slowly. The battle was postponed indefinitely.

    The "culprits" Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were picked up by people from the Taoist sect and underwent confinement investigation in the Baima Mountain camp.  The two were separated and locked up in a military tent alone. They had no shortage of food and drink, but they were not allowed to leave the tent.  Zhao Ran took a quick look inside his military tent and realized that the tent had formation restrictions, like a cage with no way out.  However, he had no idea of ????escape at all. He simply settled down and had a good sleep - the days of escape were too difficult, and he couldn't even sleep soundly. He was really exhausted both physically and mentally.

    After Zhao Ran woke up, he practiced for another day, and finally met Deacon Si Jie who came to investigate from the Taoist sect.  The Deacon of Precepts is not a permanent position in the Taoist sect. He is appointed temporarily during wars and specializes in investigating and impeaching monks for violating orders and laws. Situations like Zhao Ran's situation almost fall within the scope of the Deacon of Precepts.

    The two deacons who investigated Zhao Ran were Taoist priests from Xuzhou in southern Sichuan. One was named Luo Tengzhong and the other was named Jin Tengen. They were both from the land of palaces and pavilions. The other Taoist priest who specialized in recording documents was also from Sichuan Province, but from Shifang Jungle.  The common name is Lin Zhian, and it is a canon of Ziyang Palace in Tongchuan Prefecture.

    Luo Tengzhong and Jin Tengen briefly asked about Zhao Ran¡¯s name, place of origin, Taoist temple where he received the certificate, and relevant witnesses who could prove his identity. Lin Zhi¡¯an made a written record and then took away Zhao Ran¡¯s certificate.  The first interview ended and Zhao Ran's identity needed to be verified.

    Lin Zhi'an told Zhao Ran when he left, asking him to wait patiently for the investigation and not to be impatient. He was very kind when he warned him. Zhao Ran nodded immediately: "I understand, Senior Brother Lin is just relieved."

    Two days later, the three people came again. This time they had confirmed Zhao Ran's identity. What needed to be checked was what Zhao Ran did in the Xia Territory. The focus was on whether he had betrayed the Taoist sect - or something more serious.  , whether you have taken refuge in Buddhism.

    Luo Tengzhong was in charge of questioning, Lin Zhian continued to record, and Jin Tengen took out a crystal ball, listening to Zhao Ran answer questions while playing with the crystal ball.  Zhao Ran guessed that this thing could be the camera of this world, right?

    "You mean, Mr. Tong took you down the mountain from Wujiyuan? Tong Baimei, did you remember correctly?"

    "Yes, I heard this name from my sister. Later, when we passed by Jinghu Pass, Fourth Senior Brother joined us. My sister said that Fourth Senior Brother's real name is Chang Wanzhen"

    "Wait, who is your sister?"

    "My sister is Zhu Qigu."

    "Hiss" Luo Tengzhong took a breath of air and looked at each other with Jin Tengen next to him.

    "Uh, your name is Zhao Ran? Is your sister Zhu Qigu?"

    "Well, I recognize my sister, we are brothers and sisters."

    "Ohyou go on to saythat the Hu family and his daughter stayed in Jinchuanwei?"

    "Well, I don't know where I went after that. Then I arrived at Ye Xueguan. My sister said that I didn't need to come to Baima Mountain to report. She took me to the Great Swamp to practice formations"

    "If I read it correctly, your qualifications are pretty good, but your basic skills are not good. When did you start getting into contact with formations?"

    "In January of this year, Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, two master uncles who were assisting Huayun Hall, went to the eunuch's house in Luoxiang to catch monsters. The two master uncles taught me a formation, and later I received a gift from Huayun Hall.  The Five Elements Divine Formation, but unfortunately it was destroyed by the demon monk this time Why, do the two deacons know Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo?"

    "Well, we are familiar with each otheryou go on"

    "My sister took me around the Great Swamp for more than half a month, practicing with ferocious beasts and poisonous insects. Later, she said she was going to the Daxue Mountains and asked me to wait for her. But that day I met a bald donkey who called himself Jue Yuan from the Great Leiguang Temple.  ¡­¡±

    "Da Lei Guang Temple? Where is it? Jue Yuan's identity?"

    "I don't know. You know, I had two fights with Jue Yuan. He is a monk and I am a Taoist. I am not interested in asking and he will not explain to me. Jue Yuan said that he is the abbot, but his age and my  It's almost the same, and the methods are even more ordinary Of course he's better than me, but I haven't started practicing yet, so he can't kill me, so of course it's ordinary That's how Jue Yuan's ultimatum came about"

    "continue."

    "Well, then a monk suddenly came and kidnapped me. He called himself Baoping" Zhao Ran told the story of what happened after he was abducted by Zen Master Baoping. He basically told the truth and just hid it.  Some key details.  For example, he did not talk about the deaths of monks such as Baoping, Baoguang, Minghui, and Mingjing. He only said that he had saved Pei Zhongze in vain, and the two of them fled all the way.

    On this issue, Zhao Ran and Pei ZhongZe had already communicated in advance and agreed on how to answer Daomen's inquiries in the future.  As for the deaths of those monks, Zhao Ran did not dare to take the credit - it involved his biggest secret, how could he dare to tell it easily?  If Lusuo was taken away by the Taoist sect, he would probably end his path of cultivation. It would be too late to cry by then, so he never wanted to make it public.

    While answering the question, Zhao Ran was also beating a drum in his heart. Pei Zhongze had indeed promised himself not to say anything, but what if he changed his mind?  This kind of thing depends on character. I just hope that Pei Zhongze's character is good enough and he will not be in vain to save him.

    He has already made plans. If things go wrong in the future, he will definitely not admit it. Who killed those monks?  Just kidding, how could I know? Anyway, as a layman who has not yet entered the spiritual realm, how could I possibly kill those eminent monks?

    After describing the matter, Zhao Ran had already turned over the green jade Buddha beads, Bodhi beads, Guanyin jade pendants, Buddha statues and jade pendants that he had collected from the Aquarius Zen Room. Of course, there were also a few gold, silver, gems and Jue Yuan's ultimatum as his own.  The evidence from this trip will now have to wait for Daomen¡¯s continued investigation.

    When he turned in the evidence before, he was careful, and he was not willing to take out other things, such as the storage ring and the "Mahayana Bodhisattva's Thousand Weapons Method", "Agama Enlightenment Difficulty Sutra", various rare medicinal materials,  Two Five Thunder Divine Night Talisman, the remaining three Divine Walking Talisman, the cowhide ledger obtained from the tunnel, and most of the gold and silver jewelry.

    Five or six days later, Lin Zhi'an came and informed Zhao Ran that his questions had been generally checked and everything was correct. He could go out and walk, but he was not allowed to leave the military camp.  Lin Zhi'an had a very good attitude and answered all questions. Zhao Ran learned the reason why the investigation could be completed quickly and smoothly - a master-level monk came from Qingyun Pavilion and personally picked up Pei Zhongze. Pei Zhongze's preface before leaving  The ground was dug as a guarantee for Zhao Ran, so the Taoist sect did not investigate the matter further.

    Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Pei Zhongze's character was good enough and his secret was kept for the time being.  He suddenly remembered that the Qingyun Pavilion was in Tongchuan Mansion, so he asked Lin Zhian who Pei Zhong was.  Pei Zhongze laughed dryly and said that he actually didn't know.

    Zhao Ran asked again why he had to restrict his scope of actions since Pei Zhongze had guarantored him. Lin Zhian explained that because Zhu Qigu had not returned from Daxue Mountain, there were several issues that needed to be confirmed after she came back.

    Counting the days, Zhu Qigu has been delayed in the Snowy Mountains for half a month. What happened to tie her there?  Zhao Ran couldn't help but be a little worried, but he didn't know if Mr. Tong and Fourth Senior Brother had gone over to help?  Looking back, since even Lin Zhi'an knew the news about Zhu Qigu in Daxue Mountain, those two people would definitely not stand idly by and it would be useless to worry about it for a long time.  On the contrary, the old donkey is still waiting at the edge of the swamp. As soon as he is done here, he must quickly find the old donkey.

    In the following days, Zhao Ran wandered around the military camp. He had the status of a serious Taoist priest, and no one paid attention to him.  Zhao Ran had watched the training of army sergeants several times, and also went to the craftsmanship camp to observe the making of war equipment several times. He even helped organize several fasting ceremonies for the soldiers before they went on expeditions. It took about ten days to pass.  .

    That evening, as soon as he came back from outside, he saw Zhu Qigu.  Zhu Qigu's face was full of sadness, and Zhao Ran could tell at a glance that she was worried.

    Before Zhao Ran could speak, Zhu Qigu directly explained her purpose of coming: "I know about you and have already vouched for you. You can go back to Wujiyuan first. Master is injured, and we are taking him to southern Xinjiang for treatment soon."  Walk."

    "Where are Mr. Tong and Fourth Senior Brother?"

    "They will also go together. I don't know when I will come back this time. You must pay attention to yourself and be humble. Don't force yourself to stand out when things happen. If you have any grievances, you will suffer them first. We will talk about everything after I come back."

    Zhao Ran opened his mouth wide and didn¡¯t know what to say. In the end, he just asked: "Is the great master alchemist seriously injured?"

    Zhu Qigu shook her head, her eyes were slightly red, and then threw a pill over her: "I begged Master to give you the bone-sparing pill. I hope you can set your bones as soon as possible and start practicing!"

    Zhao Ran took the elixir and looked at Zhu Qigu's disappearing figure, speechless for a long time.

    Suddenly I felt a heat on the back of my neck, but it was the old donkey that had come out of nowhere and was licking itself.  Zhao Ran hugged the donkey's head and made love for a while, then murmured: "Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey, long time no see, are you okay?"
