On September 30th, Zhao Ran rode an old donkey and returned to Wuji Mountain alone. It was early autumn, the leaves had turned yellow and the grass had withered. The wind occasionally brought a chill that penetrated into the skin, making Zhao Ran suddenly feel desolate - perhaps this feeling was actually more mixed with his emotions. .
The market at the foot of the mountain was still lively, and the "Jinji Rice Shop" still had a high-profile appearance. Zhao Ran led the old donkey and walked slowly there, and happened to meet shopkeeper Jin instructing the handymen to carry vegetables, rice and grain. Shopkeeper Jin suddenly turned around and happened to see Zhao Ran. He blinked unconsciously and immediately ran over in surprise. He bowed his head and said, "Dao Zhang Zhao, when did your old man come back? Why didn't you know that you heard a villain Oops, This is such a happy event!¡±
Zhao Ran picked up shopkeeper Jin and said with a smile: "Old Jin, three months have passed by. Are you okay?"
"Thanks to the Taoist Priest, my body is strong and strong! It's just that the Taoist Priest looks a little thinner"
"After I leave, will anyone in your business be in trouble with you?"
"The Taoist Priest is relieved that the villain was uprooted by the Taoist Priest. He doesn't dare to let anyone embarrass the villain. At the beginning, the Huo Gong layman Zhang Ze wanted to give the villain's business to someone else, but Master Jin and Master Guan were upright. I always protected the villain, so I didn¡¯t suffer much.¡±
"You mean Jin Jiu and Brother Guan?"
"Yes, it was all down to the help of the two of them, otherwise the villain wouldn't be able to cope with it. But then everything went fine. I heard that the director of the room, Mr. Dong, was transferred, and Zhang Ze followed him and left our Wujiyuan"
Zhao Ran suddenly became energetic and asked quickly: "Deacon Dong was transferred away? Where did he go?"
"I don't know this."
"Who is the deacon in the room now?"
"I'm not sure, I think the room is still vacant and I don't know who will fill it."
When Zhao Ran heard this, he rode on the old donkey without any delay. He came to the foot of the mountain, led the old donkey to the mountain gate in one breath.
The person on duty at the mountain gate was the Huo Gong layman from the living room. Yu Zhiyuan, the guest in the living room, was very close to Zhao Ran, so the group of Huo Gong laymen were also very familiar with him. When they saw Zhao Ran back, they hurriedly came up to lead the old donkey and said, He kept flattering: "I didn't expect Lord Jing to be back. Lord Jing must have made outstanding achievements during his trip to Baima Mountain, right? Lord Jing will have to reward me with a good drink when he comes back!"
Zhao Ran smiled and scolded these Huo Gong laymen, then asked about the situation in the courtyard, and then he had an idea.
??????????????????????????Today, among the eight deacons of Wuji Yuan, Liu Zhiguang, the high-gong, Zhang Zhihuan, the inspector, Chen Zhizhong, the director, Jia Zhisun, the treasurer, Wu Zhiqing, the accountant, and Qian Zhiwen, the accountant, are all there. What is missing are the two deacons who know guests in the living room and welcome guests in the number room. Both deacon seats are vacant, so this might be a good opportunity to gain a higher position.
Zhao Ran didn't rest either. Hearing that Song Zhiyuan, the supervisor, was in the courtyard, he went straight to the door.
Song Zhiyuan was talking with patrol officer Zhang Zhihuan in the house, and Zhao Ran stood waiting at the door. After the two of them finished talking, Zhang Zhihuan came out and saw Zhao Ran at first glance, and was immediately surprised: "Junior Brother Zhao? When did you come back?"
Zhao Ran said, "I've met the patrolman, senior brother. I'm going back today. I came to see the prison first, and then I have to visit the senior brother. I don't know if the senior brother is free."
Zhang Zhihuan pulled Zhao Ran and said very enthusiastically: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk, why don't I just wait for you here, and after you see the prison, you can go to the inspection room with me to talk?"
Zhao Ran said: "That's fine. Senior brother's residence is very big. Why don't we ask senior brother to prepare a table of food and drinks in the inspection room, and invite several other senior deacon brothers to gather together. I will pay for the food."
Zhang Zhihuan waved his hand: "How much is it worth? How much does it cost for my junior brother? Then it's agreed, I'll go back and let the dining hall organize the food and drinks, and meet at my place in the evening!" After saying that, he left happily.
Song Zhiyuan had heard the commotion outside and came out to greet him personally. He pulled Zhao Ran and said, "Junior brother is back? He has been away for more than three months. I am worried about him very much! Come on, let me take a look. Well, although I am a little thinner, But it¡¯s a blessing to be back intact! How is Baima Mountain? How have you been these past few months? Come inside and talk to me"
The two entered the room and sat down, and Zhao Ran recounted his experience after leaving. Of course, his statement was consistent with what he said during the investigation at Baima Shang Camp. He did not mention Aquarius Zen Master, Ming Hui, and Bao Ran. The death of Zen Master Guang, Mingjing and others was revealed, which involved his biggest secret and must be concealed no matter what.
Song Zhiyuan knew the identity of Tong Lao and heard about Chang Wanzhen¡¯s deeds, but he didn¡¯t know the origin of Zhu Qigu. After hearing Zhao Ran¡¯s introduction, he couldn¡¯t help but feel envious and jealous. When he heard that Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze were escaping from Bayan Har Mountain all the way back to Baima Mountain, he specifically asked Pei Zhongze who he was. Zhao Ran knew little about it, but it did not prevent him from saying "Master Qingyun Pavilion came to pick up Pei Zhongze in person." When Song Zhiyuan told the truth about "returning to the mountain", Song Zhiyuan's face showed??, even my senior brother and I will be criticized. "
Zhao Ran took a deep breath and sighed: "Senior brother, I forgive you, junior brother, I do have some last resort difficulties, but I can't express my difficulties to others. I also know that I was a little too hasty, but this matter is impossible to think about, I can only do my best. for."
Song Zhiyuan did not give up and continued to persuade: "Junior brother, it's hard to say, and I won't ask, but is it really that urgent? Can't you wait for some time? Senior brother, I promise, it will only take three to five years, no, two years, two years I will teach my disciples to get what they want."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "I really can't wait any longer."
"Junior brother, even if you are really promoted, have you ever thought about the consequences? How will your colleagues in the courtyard look at you?"
¡°Senior brother, I know it¡¯s definitely not appropriate to do this, but I really can¡¯t care less¡±
Seeing that Zhao Ran couldn't make sense, Song Zhiyuan felt a little angry. He wanted to forcefully push back Zhao Ran's inappropriate thoughts, but he was reluctant to break the strong relationship that he had finally established with Zhao Ran, a person with a profound background. Of course, he was even more reluctant to part with the three black ginseng pills. He hesitated for a moment and simply said: "Junior Brother Zhao, in that case, I will tell you clearly. There is a vacancy in the living room, and the Xizhenwu Palace has a favorite candidate, our old prison guard Zhong Through the words, senior brother knows that the guest duties will be assigned from outside."
"What about the guests in room number?" Zhao Ran asked.
"Junior Brother Jia Zhisun has been the master of Fangtang for thirteen years, and now he is also a man who knows destiny. He came to me a few days ago and told me that he wanted to make some preparations for his future descent, and asked our old abbot to send a message. I have promised him"
"It doesn't matter, after Senior Brother Jia went to the room, the vacant position of Fangtang Master?"
Song Zhiyuan was surprised and said: "Junior Brother Zhao, have you thought clearly? Although the Fang Master is also the eighth deacon, his future is by no means a good one. Not to mention that he is not as good as the receptionist in the number room, and even in the position of Jingzhu that you currently occupy, Even though he is lower than the Fang Master, he is the most upright person in the Sutra Hall. He is higher than the Fang Master, and his future will be absolutely immeasurable. To exchange the Jing Master for the Fang Master I don¡¯t know what you think."
After Zhao Ran left Wujiyuan, he associates with practitioners such as Tong Baimei, Zhu Qigu, Chang Wanzhen, and Pei Zhongze. He has personally seen and experienced various battles in the practice world. At this moment, he is particularly eager to correct his roots. , what he needs is to be promoted immediately and be able to practice immediately, regardless of whether the position is noble or not, and he can't wait for three or five years, so he answered Song Zhiyuan's question with certainty: "Senior brother Song, don't worry, as long as you can be promoted, Junior brother, I will never regret it!"
Song Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time and was silent again.
