Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With the "Agama Enlightenment Sutra" in hand, Jue Yuan achieved the purpose of his trip and left.  It has been half a year since he sneaked into Sichuan, and he has been away from the Great Leiguang Temple for a long time, and he is very concerned about it.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t try to stay. The relationship between him and Jue Yuan was really unclear.  It stands to reason that Ming Xia's enemy country, Buddhism and Taoism are not tolerated, and there have been many fights between the two, including sometimes fatal blows.  But despite the fact that they tried their best during the fight, they felt quite sympathetic to each other after the fight. They both felt that the other party's personality and temperament were very to their liking, but due to the general situation, they could not have a deep friendship.

    After Jueyuan left, Junshan began its first autumn harvest, and the people were organized and devoted themselves to it.  With the beginning of the autumn harvest, the number of refugees affected by the disaster in Jiangyou County gradually increased. By early October, the number of refugees was overwhelming, and two to three hundred people came to Junshan every day.

    According to the previously decided strategy, Lin Shuangwen was responsible for the relief of disaster victims. Checkpoints were set up at various entrances and exits to block all refugees and divert them to the relief point on Xiaojunshan West Road.

    After the victims arrive at the relief site, Lin Shuangwen will explain to them the relief policy of Junshan Temple, and then screen the victims. Those who are willing to move here will cut down trees and build houses, and open up flat land for farmland. Those who are not willing to live here for a long time will be organized to participate in Junshan's relief work.  Autumn harvest, in exchange for food to fill your stomach.

    People have a strong sense of rurality. Even if they are just one county apart, most of them are unwilling to move. In the first few days, less than 10% of the people were willing to move here.

    In addition to having a strong sense of locality, the people of this era were also quite honest and loyal. They did not pretend that they were going to move because the rations distributed were very different, so as to cheat on food and drink.  This surprised Zhao Ran. Many of the precautionary measures he had prepared were not used.

    What everyone at Junshan Temple didn¡¯t expect was that all their efforts to promote the relocation policy and make numerous promises did not have much effect. What made the victims shaken was the autumn harvest.

    People don¡¯t easily believe other people¡¯s promises, they pay more attention to seeing is believing.  When they saw the heavy ears of rice in the rice fields, and when they knew that the land under their feet was still the first to be plowed, they all had the same idea: What would the harvest be when this land becomes mature?

    Look at the crisscrossing ditches, look at the new houses in the three villages, and listen to the people of Junshan talking about Daochang Zhao¡¯s magical skills

    At the end of the autumn harvest, more than half of the people chose to move here, and the number of Dingkou in Junshan exceeded 6,000!  Jin Jiu and Lin Shuangwen divided the two thousand newly moved victims into two parts. One part built a village at the relief point on the west side of Xiaojun Mountain, and the other part built a village in a small basin seven miles northeast. Zhao Ran took the villages separately.  They are called "Shang Xincun" and "Xia Xincun".

    A piece of flat land has just been opened up in Shangxin Village and Xiaxin Village, and the houses in the villages have not yet been built. In order to give these new immigrants from Junshan a house to live in as soon as possible, Zhao Ran organized all the young people who had just harvested the grain to help build wooden houses.  .

    In November, the wooden houses in the two new villages were completed, and the new immigrants moved into their new homes happily.

    The next step is to develop the basin where the two villages are located, cut down the woods, level and renovate the land, and build a channel to bring down the spring water from the mountain.  This project is very large and cannot be accomplished overnight.  However, once the project is completed, the farmland under the jurisdiction of Junshan Temple will increase by 8,000 acres!

    These two areas of cultivated land were originally dense forests and were not included in the government's field register. The most important thing is that this is the junction of Jiangyou County and Guyang County, which belongs to the "Three No Ones" zone. Therefore, Zhao Ran is not planning to use this land.  Report to the government, and all the output here can be kept for your own use.

    Half of the victims are still unwilling to move, but they are not able to return to their hometowns for the time being. They need to spend the winter here and wait until the floods completely recede and the epidemic is eliminated before they can go back to spring plowing - of course, they still have to find ways to get seeds and grains  , otherwise there will be no good life after returning.

    Zhao Ran estimates that half of the more than 2,000 victims will most likely choose to stay after next spring, so he has been supplying relief rations to them.  Of course, it is impossible to let them eat and drink for free. Some of them need to continue working and help open up wasteland, while others have to build workshops under the leadership of craftsmen to remove branches from the felled trees, polish them, and dry them for production.  Raw materials for furniture.

    Jin Jiu selected dozens of Junshan people to enter Jundu Mountain, took advantage of the slack farming period to build clay kilns, and began construction of a ceramics workshop.  These people will serve as apprentices, learning the art of making pottery and firing under the guidance of master craftsmen.

    Of course, the craftsman was finally deceived by Zhao Ran to settle in Junshan. Not only was he promised huge profits, but he also promised to give him shares in the ceramics workshop, otherwise it would be impossible for the craftsman to teach him.

    thisFor a while, Master Wuse was unlucky and was pulled by Zhao Ran to work hard.  Sometimes he was cutting trees in the forest, sometimes he was digging ditches in the mountains, sometimes he was digging holes for clay, and sometimes he was digging the ground with his beak and claws. He was very busy.

    Zhao Ran has completely used the Five Color Master as a bird-shaped automatic multi-purpose agricultural machine. What he has paid for it is only a variety of delicious food, which is completely disproportionate to the harvest.

    In the winter of the 16th year of Jiajing, Zhao Shenxian once again gained a large number of believers in the Junshan area.  The early people worshiped him even more when they saw the heavy grains. The victims of Jiangyou County survived because of him. Most of them saw the hope of a better life in the future and joined the ranks of believers.

    This winter, Zhao Ran gained a lot of merit, and for the first time, the refining speed could not keep up with the increase in merit.  He practiced day and night, and his magic power increased dramatically every day.

    On the first day of the seventeenth year of Jiajing, thousands of people came to Junshan Temple, offered incense in the Jade Emperor Hall, expressed their gratitude to Zhao Shenxian, and prayed for good weather in the coming year.  Zhao Ran personally presided over the grand Zhaijiao ceremony to pray for Junshan and the people.

    At the end of the Zhaijiao, his popularity reached its peak, and the people fell at his feet one after another, expressing their admiration to the beloved Zhao Shenxian in their hearts.

    The power of merit is rapidly filling the air sea, and the transformed mana is rising at a clearly perceptible speed. Zhao Ran used to be able to throw more than ten firework charms in one go, but now the number has grown to more than forty.  This is equivalent to a fourfold increase in the upper limit of mana!

    When the Lantern Festival passed, Zhao Ran found that the increase in his mana limit began to slow down significantly. In short, the sea of ??qi in his body had been filled to the point where it could no longer be increased.  However, the merit power is still accumulating rapidly. Because these accumulated merit powers cannot be refined into magic power, they are stored in the sea of ????qi in a very mysterious way.

    The space and holding capacity in the sea of ????qi are limited. Now both the power of merit and the power of magic have filled the sea of ????qi, but the two are not exclusive, or do not intersect. It is as if the two seas of qi occupy a place.  , or it can be said that a sea of ??qi has two spaces, but they overlap but are not exclusive.

    Zhao Ran still gained a large amount of merit power every day, but he painfully discovered that the speed of refining his magic power had been declining. He felt the gradually increasing merit power but could not take action. Zhao Ran was very depressed.

    From a mana perspective, Zhao Ran knew that he was on the verge of breaking through.  This is the scary thing about cultivating the power of merit. When there is no merit, you can¡¯t practice anything. But once you have a large amount of merit, the speed of transformation is unparalleled. Compared with the normal cultivation methods of Buddhism and Taoism, its speed is much faster.  More than ten times better!

    But Zhao Ran couldn't break through the realm because his cultivation had a big shortcoming - he simply didn't have enough condensed essence.

    The main purpose of practicing in the Taoist realm is to condense the essence, and then combine the essence with magic power to form invisible and colorless energy. After the essence fills the sea of ????qi, it will be in the state of three flowers gathering on top, which is considered to be in the Taoist realm.  .

    Zhao Ran's mana is almost full now, but the essence is insufficient, and the energy formed is far from being full. Therefore, he cannot enter the Taoist realm, and cannot break through the level of cultivation. The increased merit power can only be accumulated and stored.  , unable to continue refining.

    Others are full of energy but lacking in mana, but Zhao Ran is just the opposite. He must be patient and make up for his shortcomings bit by bit.
