When Zhao Ran saw it, he was immediately overjoyed: "Senior Brother Pei, why is it you?"
Pei Zhongze said with a smile: "Why can't it be me? It's embarrassing to say that I haven't seen you for a year and a half since we said goodbye to Baima Mountain. I originally planned to come to visit you, but because I first entered Huangguan, I went into seclusion to consolidate after returning to the mountain. There was quite a bit of trouble, so there was some delay.¡±
Zhao Ran hurriedly asked: "What? But there is something wrong with you?"
Pei Zhongze nodded and said: "When I was at the Baoping Temple, the evil monk's Buddha nature entered my body many times, which damaged my meridians. Although I broke the bottleneck, it also left some infirmities. If they are not eliminated, I am afraid that there will be some problems in my future practice." hinder."
"Everything is fine now?"
"Yes, everything is fine, otherwise I wouldn't have left the mountain."
"That's great. Come, Senior Brother Pei, come into my temple and talk about it."
Zhao Ran pulled Pei Zhongze out of the Jade Emperor's Palace, passed through the dormitory, and came to the back garden. The water pool in the back garden was imported from the Xiaojun Mountain Spiritual Eye and was arranged for Zhao Ran. The two of them went into the small pavilion beside the pool to talk about their farewells, smell the spiritual smell of the water pool, and look outside the wall. The scenery of Junshan is getting dark before you know it.
Zhao Ran took matters into his own hands and roasted a wild boar leg for Pei Zhongze in the pavilion. Pei Zhongze praised the meal that day: "That day, I felt that my junior brother's craftsmanship was really good. I haven't tasted it for a year and a half. I miss it so much." What is this? Honey juice? It¡¯s really unforgettable.¡±
After eating, Zhao Ran took out the home-brewed fruit wine, and Pei Zhongze said: "You are still at home here. Qingyun Pavilion comes from the lineage of Fujian Zhenren. It was originally the Quanzhen teaching. Although the ancestors have changed the precepts, they are still the same. It¡¯s too restrictive. My father made it clear, senior brother, I have been running around outside all year round, and I have been cultivating Taoism and wilderness, haha"
Zhao Ran said: "Why don't you go back, senior brother? Just practice in my Junshan Temple. It won't be comfortable to go back!"
Pei Zhongze said helplessly: "How can it be so easy? Let's not talk about this" Then he showed his face and said: "But from now on, I can justifiably go down the mountain and don't have to be trapped in the mountain."
"oh?"
"I am now a Taoist disciple of Qingyun Pavilion, and I will have many opportunities to meet you, junior brother, in the future! Although running around is a bit tiring, it is just what I want."
"Congratulations, senior brother, come on, have three more drinks!"
After the two drank three cups, Pei Zhongze said again: "Junior brother, I look at your complexion. It seems that your bones have not been straightened yet, but you have real power around you. It seems that you have reached the threshold of cultivation?"
Zhao Ran then took the bone-setting pill on himself, but it did not achieve the full effect and only destroyed one of his bones.
Pei Zhongze comforted him: "Junior brother, don't take it too seriously. There is only one person in a hundred who can practice cultivation with no bones like this. Junior brother's extraordinary qualifications are also a strange thing. Don't be discouraged and slack off." . Huayun Pavilion was originally a major sect in Sichuan Province, and it continues to this day. It is truly said to have a profound foundation, and the Lingjian Pavilion lineage is even more famous. Although I am only a registered disciple, I still have a promising future."
Zhao Ran said: "Senior brother, don't worry. Junior brother, I want to become an immortal, and I will never give up easily. Let alone eight years, even eighty years, junior brother, I will not slack off."
Pei Zhongze praised: "I hope that junior brother will keep this ambition forever. By the way, I wonder if junior brother, as the blessing of Junshan Temple, does he have free time?"
Zhao Ran said: "Wujiyuan has never cared about my little temple. As long as the Junshan area is taken care of, you can come and go freely. What, senior brother, do you have any advice?"
Pei Zhongze said: "I am now walking as a Taoist sect of Qingyun Pavilion, inspecting the six counties of Tongchuan Prefecture, eradicating demons and deterring evil spirits. My responsibilities are not light. However, one person's power is weak and it is really beyond my ability. There is something in front of me. I am in urgent need of junior brother's help. I wonder if junior brother can agree? If this happens, maybe I can ask for a bone-sparing pill from the museum and then set my junior brother's bones."
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at Pei Zhongze who was full of sincerity, and felt grateful. He had already vaguely guessed Pei Zhongze's purpose of coming, and he was eager to come over to repay his kindness. What can't be done by a Taoist Huang Guan, but a Taoist priest like him is needed to help? It was just to get him to perform meritorious deeds together, so that I could have an excuse to get the Bone-Removing Pill. Perhaps a further step is to imagine that people have already obtained the Scattered Bone Pill, and they are afraid that Zhao Ran will not seek repayment for his kindness, so they just find an excuse.
Zhao Ran is by no means pretending to be arrogant. Of course he wants to straighten his bones. Otherwise, his bones are not straight and his energy is insufficient, so he will achieve twice the result with half the effort. Yu Zhiyuan can take three pills in a row to straighten his bones, why not try it himself? Forget it if you don't succeed. Once you succeed, won't you save a few years on your cultivation path?
So he didn¡¯t refuse, and immediately asked: ¡°Thank you, senior brother, for your support. Junior brother, I feel ashamed to accept it. I don¡¯t know what it is, can you tell me first and get more details?¡±
The Ming Dynasty respected Taoism, but this does not mean that the only spiritual practice in the Ming Dynasty was the Taoism school.A large number of small sects, small sects, and aristocratic cultivating families exist among them, but they only accept the jurisdiction and supervision of Taoist sects.
Qingyun Hall is the leading force in the Taoist practice world in Tongchuan Prefecture, but in such a large place, Qingyun Hall is not the only practice sect. In the six counties of this prefecture, there are actually two practicing sects and casual cultivating families. Thirteen, in addition to many individual cultivators.
Just seven days ago, something happened to the Lu family who practiced at the foot of Zhongyang Mountain in Shehong County. Wu Anxian, a friend from an aristocratic family who went to visit, found that the Lu family village was littered with corpses. There were thirty-seven members of the Lu family, old and young, including three monks and thirty-four mortals. Only a seven-year-old child survived.
Wu Anxian immediately mobilized his family to search, and they searched for three days in a row, but they didn't have any clues. The Wu family had no choice but to report it to Qingyun Hall and ask Qingyun Hall to send someone to take charge of the investigation.
Pei Zhongze had just come out of confinement and happened to take over the Taoist walking team in Tongchuan Mansion, so he took on the case without any hesitation. However, he did not go to Shehong County first. Instead, he traveled hundreds of miles and came to Wujiyuan to look for Zhao Ran. He heard that Zhao Ran was going to Junshan Temple to serve as a temple blessing, so he rushed over to meet him.
After Zhao Ran had a general understanding of the situation, he didn't ask any more questions. Pei Zhongze didn't go to the scene to see it, so he couldn't get anything out of it, so he agreed to go handle the case with him.
Zhao Ran is quite interested in this kind of thing. Firstly, there will be a bone-dispersing pill to be obtained after the matter is completed. Secondly, he also wants to know more about the situation in the cultivation world. Thirdly, fighting can improve cultivation. Fourthly, this is also a thing. It was a good thing, so he didn't delay. After giving instructions to Jin Jiu and others, he took the old donkey and headed to Tongchuan Mansion with Pei Zhongze.
Pei Zhongze was riding a good horse. It was even more impressive than the horses of his uncles Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo. It was actually as fast as the old donkey, which made Zhao Ran pay close attention. In turn, Pei Zhongze was also very curious about Lao Donkey and asked a lot of questions about Lao Donkey. Zhao Ran didn't hide anything about Lao Donkey and told him everything about Lao Donkey's origins, which amazed Pei Zhongze.
The donkey and the horse went hand in hand, and after only two days of delay on the road, they entered Shehong County and arrived at Zhongyang Mountain.
Pei Zhongze sent the messenger talisman in advance, and when they arrived at Wujiazhuang, Wu Anxian and three other monks from the Wu family had already come out of the village entrance to greet them.
Looking at the mountain geomancy, Zhongyang Mountain is slightly stronger than Xiaojun Mountain. There are two spiritual eyes. The Lu family and the Wu family each live in one, and they have become family friends for hundreds of years. It's just that these two spiritual eyes are not outstanding, and the Lu and Wu families have never produced any amazing and talented people. Therefore, in the Tongchuan family sect, it is a small family that is not in the upper class. If it weren't for the extremely strict Taoist rules, Yan, I'm afraid that the two families have been exterminated countless times, so how can they be passed down to this day?
Zhao Ran had heard Pei Zhongze introduce the situation of the Lu and Wu families on the way. The Lu family that was exterminated had only three monks, one Huang Guan and two Taoist priests. The Wu family who was helping each other with the Lu family had one more Taoist priest than them. That's all. As for the mountain-protecting formation owned by Huayun Pavilion, it is impossible for the two families to have such good conditions. With Zhao Ran's eyesight, he could see through it at a glance. The illusory formation outside Wujiazhuang was indeed just an illusory formation. It looks like a bamboo forest. It can only be used to confuse other people's eyes. It has no attack or defense power at all.
Wu Anxian respectfully welcomed Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran into the village, serving them good tea and fruits. Of course, the main person he greeted was Pei Zhongze. Pei Zhongze was famous in Tongchuan Mansion and now he was a Taoist priest. Of course, the Wu family had to fawn over him. As for Zhao Ran, of course he treated him with courtesy, but beyond the usual courtesy, there was more of a hint of indifference. This is normal. Wu Anxian, who is Huang Guan, can tell at a glance that Zhao Ran is a novice monk in the Taoist realm, and he is still a useless person. Naturally, he will not attach any importance to him or flatter him.
