As expected, Jing Duguan rejected Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran's request for an audience. Such an attitude cast a heavy cloud over the two of them. However, their trip was not fruitless. Not only was Bai Duyuan willing to help, but Liao Duchu also promised to get the lightest punishment for them when needed. Of course, the price was one thousand taels of silver.
After calculation, the attitude of the new supervisor Xu Tenglong is probably not good. In addition, Jing Jingmo has an obvious advantage when it comes to Bai Duyao and Liao Duchu when discussing matters in the three capitals. If Xu Tenglong invites Abbot Du to participate in the discussions in the three capitals again, the situation will be even less optimistic.
On the way back to Guyang County, Song Zhiyuan finally couldn't help it anymore and said to Zhao Ran: "Junior brother, last time you said that the great master of Chu went to southern Xinjiang, is there any way to contact him?"
Zhao Ran shook his head. He had thought of this method a long time ago. However, one year later, Master Chu, Zhu Qigu and others had no information at all, and no one could be found at all. When he was searching for the "bald monk" at the foot of the mountain a few days ago, he took the opportunity to go to Wenxiang Valley, but the small bamboo fence courtyard was empty, the bamboo house was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the courtyard was full of mess. Overgrown weeds.
Song Zhiyuan still refused to give up, and said: "Didn't my junior brother have acquaintances in Huayun Pavilion before? Why don't you ask for a favor from the pavilion?"
Zhao Ran explained: "The two master uncles Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi are looking for medicine by the river, and Feifu cannot contact them."
Song Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "How about looking for Zhu Zhimeng? After all, he comes from Wujiyuan Moreover, he seemed to be very warm to you when we were in Songfengling this time."
Zhao Ran sighed: "Although I didn't expect the situation to be so serious at the time, I did reveal similar thoughts. He also went to ask Master Liang for help, but Master Liang refused."
Song Zhiyuan asked: "Why did Master Liang refuse?"
Zhao Ran said angrily: "Who knows? Maybe they really take into account the custom of monks not to interfere in the secular affairs of Shifang Jungle? Or maybe they are great mage and have no interest in getting involved in these nonsense? In short, they just refuse. I'm too lazy to find an excuse."
"What aboutMaster Lin?"
When he mentioned Master Lin, Zhao Ran couldn't help but think of Zhou Yumo, who had long since cut off contact. He felt irritated and asked Song Zhiyuan: "Isn't the niece of the prison hospital the apprentice of Master Lin? We have helped her so much, why don't the prison hospital invite you? My niece came forward to ask Master Lin for help?"
Song Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and then said, "The child replied that Master Lin doesn't have time to take care of such trivial matters."
"Is it because your niece doesn't have time to cook, or Master Lin doesn't have time to cook?"
"Xiao Qiao is not a hard-hearted person, she knows how to repay kindness."
Zhao Ran sneered: "These monks in the pavilion don't care about the life and death of us ants!"
Song Zhiyuan was silent for a long time. Zhao Ran breathed a long sigh of relief and forcibly expelled the annoyance in his heart. He looked at Song Zhiyuan, who had half a head of white hair, and said apologetically: "Prison Ward, I shouldn't have spoken like this I'm so blocked in my heart. I'm so panickedthis incident happened because of me, but it also implicated the prison"
Song Zhiyuan shook his head: "Oh I don't blame you. As a prison guard, I can't protect you completely, but on the contrary, I have to let you help me in everything. Now that something has happened, not only can I not protect the brothers in the hospital, , even Master Uncle Zhu, Master Luo and Master Yuan are implicated in this. Speaking of which, I am really incompetent for my job as a supervisor."
When Song Zhiyuan said this, Zhao Ran felt even more guilty and immediately said: "The prison hospital must not do this. I am thinking about it and will look for Zhu Zhimeng again after I go back."
"Didn't you say that Master Liang has already rejected it?"
"Now and then, I will find Zhu Zhimeng again this time. I believe he will do his best." Zhao Ran's plan was to grit his teeth and take out one or two elixirs from the wrench and present them to Huayun Pavilion. Request Huayun Pavilion to come forward to protect it. Song Zhiyuan thought that Zhao Ran was planning to use the current bad situation to incite Zhu Zhimeng again, so he had no hope and just nodded weakly: "If you need anything, just tell me and I will do my best."
"I should ask Bai Duyuan to send a letter to Huayun Pavilion for me" Zhao Ran was a little annoyed, and then said to Song Zhiyuan: "Why don't you ask the prison hospital to tell your niece to help me contact Zhu Zhimeng and ask Zhu Zhimeng to come? See you at Wujiyuan."
"It's easy to say, there are flying pigeons left by Xiao Qiao at home, and the communication will be quick."
The two of them returned quickly and first went to Song Zhiyuan's secular home to write a note and send it to Song Yuqiao who was cultivating in Huayun Hall with flying pigeons. Then Zhao Ran remembered something and asked: "The prison hospital has a good relationship with our old abbot. Listen, It is said that he has a wide range of paths, but I wonder if that is true?"
Song Zhiyuan sighed: "You have been traveling around these days, but you don't know that the abbot's body has become increasingly weak since last year. He was bedridden six days ago and often fell into coma. The doctor said he was afraid?No more. "
Zhao Ran said: "I didn't know, I'm really ashamed! I still have a few black ginseng pills here, and I'll give them to the old abbot to try."
"I tried it. You gave me three pills last time. I gave one of them to the abbot at the beginning of the year. At that time, the abbot was in high spirits for more than a month, but he still didn't recover. The abbot said that he was at the end of his life. To, if it is not a serious illness, the elixir can cure the disease, but it cannot prolong life, unless it is an elixir. He said that this medicine is precious and asked me to keep it well, but he himself would not use it again no matter what."
Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter. I have a lot here. If I use one more, I believe it can make the abbot feel better."
Song Zhiyuan knew what Zhao Ran meant. He was not asking the abbot to extend his life, but just wanted him to regain his energy and see if he could help. This idea was slightly selfish, and Song Zhiyuan was also not able to point it out. He thought about the swords held by Abbot Du of Xizhenwu Palace and Xu Supervisory Academy on his head, and then silently expressed his agreement.
The two immediately rushed back to the mountain gate. Song Zhiyuan led Zhao Ran directly to the Jiazishe where the abbot lived. They stayed there for more than half an hour. When they came out, it was already dark.
Looking at the dark clouds filling the sky above his head, Song Zhiyuan sighed, "It's going to snow."
Zhao Ran looked up at the sky silently and said for a long time: "I'm afraid the abbot won't be able to survive the first month." He just mobilized his concentration state and opened his eyes to observe, and found that the energy in the abbot's body was slowly dissipating. This is an irreversible process, which represents A person's life is passing away, and it cannot be saved by ordinary panacea.
Song Zhiyuan held a piece of letter in his hand and said in a daze: "I didn't expect the abbot to have an old relationship with the Li Supervisor of Xuanyuan Temple"
After Zhao Ran fed the abbot a black ginseng pill just now, the abbot woke up from his coma, listened to Song Zhiyuan's report, and wrote this letter. To Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran's surprise, the recipient of the letter turned out to be Xuanyuan. Li Yunhe of Guanyuan.
After writing the letter, the abbot became depressed again and fell into a deep sleep. He did not explain what kind of friendship he had with Li Yunhe, but neither Song Zhiyuan nor Zhao Ran were optimistic - if the friendship was deep, how could the old abbot be there? Stay in Guyang County for so many years?
But as the saying goes, a dead horse is a living horse. As long as there is a little hope, you must try your best to fight for it.
When he was about to find someone to deliver the letter to Chengdu, he met Zhao Zhixing, a knowledgeable person. This Zhike, who "airborne" from Xuanyuan Temple, has been in Wujiyuan for more than ten months. Calculated, he will leave in less than two months. But in the whole Wujiyuan, apart from Zhao Ran, who is familiar with him, Except for some, everyone else regarded him as a stranger.
The arrival of Zhao Zhixing made Song Zhiyuan's face even more ugly. He unfolded a document submitted by Zhao Zhike and was so angry that he could not speak for a long time.
This official document was sent from Xuanyuan Temple. The content of the official document stated that Zhao Zhixing had been in office for almost a year, and his term was considered to have expired. According to the requirements of the Western Sichuan Promotion Department, all Taoist temples, Taoist palaces, and Taoist temples in Sichuan Province must increase their attention to Baima Mountain. The manpower support on the front line of the war was urgent, so Zhao Zhixing returned to Xuanyuan Temple.
A discerning person can tell at a glance that Zhao Zhike was afraid that the responsibility for Zhang Jianyuan's death would be placed on him, so he used his connections to end his tenure in Wujiyuan early to avoid risks.
The reasons were sufficient and the procedures were correct. Facing the smiling Zhao Zhixing, Supervisor Song could only vent his anger on himself. He signed and signed with great depression, agreeing that Zhao Zhixing would leave immediately to return to Chengdu.
Zhao Ran understood Song Zhiyuan's depression very well, and was afraid that he could not help but get angry on the spot, so he quickly winked at Song Zhiyuan and pulled Zhao Zhixing out of the prison.
