Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nowadays, in the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, the mountain is busy receiving people of all kinds to worship Taoist ancestors, offer incense and give alms.  In the past two years, Zhao Ran has been helping with some fasting rituals, but this year he doesn't have to be so busy because he has left the Sutra Hall.  In fact, the Fangtang is not idle. There is a constant flow of people in Wuji Courtyard, and the Fangtang needs to be inspected to maintain order and beware of late nights.  But Zhao Ran knew in his heart that with the prestige of the Taoist sect, no "junior" would dare to come to the mountain to cause trouble, so he didn't pay attention to it.

    Zhao Ran handed over all the trivial matters to the hall master Jiang Zhiheng, and took Guan Er and Lu Jin down the mountain again.

    Shopkeeper Jin of Jinji Rice Shop has been waiting for a long time. Following Zhao Ran's order, he has purchased many new year's goods, including cloth, bacon, rice noodles, oil, salt and other items. Almost all the warehouses of Jinji Rice Shop are full.  .

    Zhao Ran asked: "How much did it cost?"

    Shopkeeper Jin smiled apologetically and said, "Not much."

    Zhao Ran glared and said: "Tell the truth, how much it cost, if you hide it, you will definitely miss my important event!"

    Shopkeeper Jin had a sudden thought and replied: "A total of one hundred and fifty-six taels of silver." He secretly wondered what was going on with this man, did he really want to give him money?

    Zhao Ranzhen gave him money, and gave him two silver notes, totaling two hundred taels: "You can buy some more of the remaining silver, and keep ten taels for yourself, which will be regarded as a profit for you."

    Shopkeeper Jin was about to refuse, but Zhao Ran glared at him again, and then he hurriedly accepted.  Following Zhao Ran's instructions, he hired two large trucks and filled them with new year's goods.

    Zhao Ran, Guan Er, and Lu Jin were in front, escorting two carts of new year's goods, and left without Shopkeeper Jin following them. They went to the countryside.

    The first stop was the nearest Lijia Village. This time, Old Man Li didn¡¯t need to run around. He had stayed in Lijia Village for seven days and was already familiar with the villagers.

    At the end of this year, the Li Sanlang family is in a good mood. In the past, the dilapidated house could only be filled with mud. Now it has been renovated. Not only have the holes been filled, half of the tiles on the roof have been replaced, and the window paper has been replaced.  Confused again.  Looking at his neatly renovated house, Li Sanlang couldn't help but think of Taoist Zhao from Wujiyuan.

    Taoist priest Zhao looks very young, but he is extremely kind. For some reason, he even invited a master mason from the county to renovate all the old houses in the village. He is really very kind.  Now everyone in the village is praising him and discussing going to Wuji Courtyard to burn incense sticks and pay their respects to him.

    ?????????????? But Old Li in the village said that in addition to burning incense, he also wanted to chip in to buy some New Year gifts to thank Daoist Zhao. When they were all distributed, Li Sanlang had to pay ten cents, which made Li Sanlang very worried.  It's not that Li Sanlang was unwilling, but his mother, who was seriously ill at home, had been bedridden, and almost all his spare money was used to prescribe medicine for her. Where could he get the ten cents?

    Li Sanlang went into the inner room, chatted with his mother, and then sat by the bed, feeling worried.  When I asked on the bed, I found out that this was the case, and immediately said: "Sanlang, the discussion in the village is right. Director Zhao has renovated the house. We have to think about it carefully. This money My body and bones are getting better recently, so I'm going to  If you don¡¯t want to grab a piece of medicine, just collect the money first"

    "Mom, how can that be done"

    "Why not? Listen to me, you must know how to repay your kindness. Taoist Zhao may not care about this little thing about us, but he doesn't care, and mother cares in her heart"

    While the two of them were talking, they heard someone shouting at the door: "Is Li Sanlang at home?"

    When Li Sanlang heard this familiar voice, he was stunned and said to his mother: "It seems to be that Daochang Zhao? I'll go take a look. Mother, you lie down first." He left the house and saw the door of the fence courtyard.  There was a young Taoist priest standing there, who was not Taoist priest Zhao.

    Li Sanlang ran a few steps, opened the wooden door of the small courtyard, and said happily: "Taoist Master Zhao, why are you here!"

    Zhao Ran smiled and took Guan Er and Lu into the courtyard and into the house. As he walked, he said: "We are celebrating the New Year, come here to see you. How is it? How are you doing this New Year?"

    After chatting with Li Sanlang for a few words, he went into the inner room to pay New Year's greetings to the sick old man. He took a three-foot piece of cloth wrapped in red paper from Guan Erzhi, placed it on the bedside of the old man, and said: "It's Chinese New Year, and I wish you a happy New Year."  , This is my humble opinion, please don't be polite."

    The old man struggled to get up, but Zhao Ran forcibly stopped him. After leaving the house, he took a small red paper bag from Lu Jin, stuffed it into Li Sanlang and said: "A small amount of money to get medicine for aunt Don't refuse, otherwise  I just look down on poor people!" After saying that, he went out and left.

    Li Sanlang opened the red paper bag. Inside was twenty Jiajing Tongbao neatly stacked. It was indeed "a little money". But looking at the backs of Zhao Ran and others leaving, Li Sanlang felt his nose was sour. He didn't know why.  Want to cry.

    After Zhao Ran left Sanlang¡¯s house, based on what he saw and heard when he returned to the village to repair the house,For those who are living in difficulty, they go door-to-door to pay New Year greetings.  Some handed over three feet of cloth, some a hanging bacon, some a jar of salt, and some a bag of tea.  If you encounter real difficulties at home, you will receive a small red envelope as a gift.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of the house, we don¡¯t say much, we just ask how we are and how our situation is, say a few words of blessing and then leave without disturbing others.

    As he visited each family, more and more villagers gathered around him. Many children followed Zhao Ran to join in the fun, clapping their hands and singing songs. Zhao Ran took out a few snacks or candy cakes from the cart and distributed them.  , making the children jump with joy.

    Zhao Ran was also very happy, and the merit power in his Qi Sea was also increasing bit by bit.

    Old Man Li had come after hearing the news and followed Zhao Ran. After Zhao Ran finished visiting each house, he called Old Man Li over and said seriously: "Uncle Li, do you want everyone to contribute to the poor?"  Do you want to give me a holiday gift?"

    Old man Li said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This is what everyone wants"

    Zhao Ran shouted: "You must not do this! You can go to Wujiyuan to offer incense and pay homage to your ancestors, but you are not allowed to give gifts, otherwise you will tarnish your reputation!"

    Old man Li hurriedly said he didn¡¯t dare, so he almost knelt on the ground and swore.

    After scaring Old Man Li, Zhao Ran got on the donkey, took Guan Er and Lu Jin, and drove the cart to the next village.  He spent more than an hour here in Lijia Village, and his schedule was quite tight. He had to hurry up and try to visit three villages in one day to improve efficiency.

    From the fourth day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ran traveled non-stop and visited more than 20 villages around Wuji Mountain. The power of merit in the Qi Sea increased sharply, which made him quite satisfied.  In the next few days, he simply asked Guan Er and Lu Jin to split up and form three teams to visit and express condolences respectively, but he immediately discovered a problem.  In the villages that Guan Er and Lu entered, he could also feel the increase in merit power, but the increased merit power was obviously much weaker than the merit power he could get from visiting in person. This made him less aware of the merit power.  Improved again.

    As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passes, the 15th year of Jiajing comes to an end, and people¡¯s lives return to their usual appearance.  Zhao Ran took the time to go to the prison and reported everything he had done these days.  As a Taoist priest, it is of course possible for him to do good deeds, but if the good deeds become big and large-scale, he must obtain dual recognition from the county government and Wujiyuan. Otherwise, he is secretly soliciting people's hearts, which is a serious crime.

    Of course Song Zhiyuan, the Supervisor of the Prison, will not stop him from doing good deeds. Speaking of which, Taoism is the largest charity organization in the world.  For example, the green crop warehouse system established in various places was proposed by Daomen and half of the money was paid for it; another example is the relief work during major disasters, in which Daomen spared no effort and played a leading role.

    But it was a bit strange that Zhao Ran used his own money to do good deeds quietly, and Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask why.  Zhao Ran had already thought of an excuse, which was nothing more than a clich¨¦, saying that his late parents asked him to help others in a dream.  Although this rhetoric fell into the clich¨¦, it was an aboveboard reason after all, and there was no flaw in it. The Song Supervisor pinched his nose and admitted it, saying that he would definitely support Zhao Ran.

    The first step of support is to issue him an official letter to the county, which means that Zhao Zhiran, the founder of Wujiyuan, wants to set up a relief station somewhere in the east of Guyang County and asks the county government to agree and take care of it.

    Zhao Ran took this official letter and went to the county government in person. With the help of Jin County Lieutenant, he obtained the painting studio of Kong County Zun, so Zhao Ran immediately devoted himself to the establishment of a relief station.
