Chapter 432 Two old guys

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From Qingkou Town to Wuji Mountain, it is about a hundred miles, and there is no official road yet.  Zhao Ran walked quickly, walking almost in a straight line over mountains and ridges, across rivers and ditches, and arrived at the foot of Wuji Mountain in the afternoon.

    It seemed that there had just been a heavy snowfall yesterday, and it was thickly covered on the mountain paths of Wuji Mountain. When Zhao Ran arrived, the fireworkers of Heyuan were all cleaning the snow on the mountain paths, which was quite lively.

    Zhao Ran saw Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai at a glance. Each of them was holding a big broom and sweeping the snow on both sides along the stone steps.

    Zhao Ran is now the temple priest of Junshan Temple and one of the eight deacons in Wuji Temple. Anyone who has heard of him knows that he also has a status as a monk in the pavilion.

    The Jingfang Jingtou in charge was Zhao Ran¡¯s classmate who studied scriptures with him in the Sutra Hall. He recognized him at a glance and came over to say hello and chat briefly.

    "You are busy with your business, I just want to say a few words to Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai."

    "Okay, Junior Brother Zhao If Zhao Miaozhu wants anything, just say it. Do you need to go up and see the brothers? The Directorate of Supervision has not come back yet."

    "Next time, I have something to do today and I have to go back to Junshan soon."

    Jingfang Jingtou was too lazy to go up. He stood at the lowest stone steps of the mountain road and shouted: "Jiao Tan, Zhou Huai!"

    The two men looked up and looked down. They were stunned at each other, and then walked down hand in hand, past many pyrotechnics who were clearing the snow, and walked directly to Zhao Ran.

    When they met Zhao Ran, the two of them were very embarrassed.  Four years ago, Zhao Ran was driven by Dong Zhikun to the Junshan Temple that did not exist yet, to be a temple blessing that no one was optimistic about. At that time, he tentatively asked Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai if they had the intention to go to Junshan together.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t say it clearly, he just mentioned it casually, but neither of them had an answer, so Zhao Ran gave up immediately.

    After the two people stayed, they were not deliberately suppressed. Neither Dong Zhikun nor Zhang Ze really paid attention to small people like them, but it was extremely difficult to make any progress.  To this day, the two of them are still in the water room and the other in the clean room, without any change.

    But this is normal. Most of the fire practitioners in the Taoist temple came here like this. When the ten years of fire residence are over, they can resign and return to their hometowns to live a decent life.

    "What they didn't expect was that the small Junshan Temple would prosper and become famous not only in Guyang County, but also in the entire Long'an Prefecture.

    Zhao Ran suddenly became an immortal master practicing in the pavilion, and his reputation was astonishing.

    The two of them didn¡¯t know how to open their mouths. They just held the big broom and said: "Temple blessing"

    Zhao Ran smiled and asked: "I seem to remember that you have been a Huoju for almost ten years, right?"

    Jiao Tan sighed and said, "Nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and next year it's time to go down the mountain and return to my hometown."

    Zhou Huai also said: "I am two months behind Senior Brother Jiao."

    Zhao Ran asked: "What are your plans after resigning?"

    Both of them had a little confusion in their eyes, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

    After a moment of silence, one person said: "Go home and study"

    Another said: "Go home and do business with your elders"

    In the jungles of the ten directions of the Taoist sect, most of the firework laymen have no chance to receive the ultimatum. After the ten years are over and they have contributed to the peace and wealth of the family, they can only choose to return to their hometown.

    These people are not the eldest sons of the family, and most of them are even concubines. In the past ten years, those who know how to work hard and have a better life have a wide network of contacts and are very knowledgeable. After returning home, they will naturally be relied upon by the clan;  Those who are first-class can accumulate some money for the family, and the Taoist sect also supports them to establish a separate family and live separately; those who do nothing, except for themselves to get a talisman, usually feel confused and uncomfortable.

    Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai are in the last situation. Their uncertainty about their future life position makes them feel at a loss.  Just like Lin Shuangwen, a layman of the fire industry in Xizhenwu Palace, although he had no shortage of food and clothing after returning home, he still came to Junshan to seek refuge with Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ranyin said: "You probably know about my situation in Junshan. It has improved a lot since it was founded. When I entered Wujiyuan, I was well taken care of by the two brothers. Now I have some ability.  You can put some thought into it.¡±

    The two men immediately listened attentively, showing their expectancy.

    "I have two suggestions. One, you continue to work in Wuji Yuan for ten years, then resign and return to your hometown. If you want to be an official, take the exam to ensure that you have no problem in the county and government exams.  , there is nothing I can do. Or if you want to buy land to start a family, or want to make a living, I will also find a way to deal with you"

      "What about the second option?"

    "Secondly, if you don't want to leave the Taoist sect, you should first go to Dian Zaofang and resign. Although the contract was signed for ten years, it doesn't matter one or two years in advance. I know that every year in Wuji Yuan, there are people queuing up to wait for the fire master.  You are making way for others, and it is too late for Dian Zaofang to be happy. After resigning, come to Junshan to find me, but you can only continue to be a fire dweller, and you will find a way to accept the ultimatum in a few years."

    After listening, the two men hesitated for a while.

    Seeing that the two of them could not make up their minds, Zhao Ran said again: "The Huoju in Junshan Temple is different from other places. It is about doing things seriously. But there is no hurry about this matter. I went back and thought about it carefully. After I figured it out, I resigned and came to Junshan. I don't want to do it anymore.  It doesn¡¯t matter if you are a Taoist, we will still be good friends from now on.¡±

    Everyone¡¯s luck in creation is different. Zhao Ran can only talk to this point. Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai missed an opportunity four years ago. They don¡¯t know if they can grasp it this time.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t stay too long in Wujiyuan, and rushed back to Junshan after saying what needed to be said.  Although he had only been away for less than a month, it made Zhao Ran feel like he was in another world.  Before going there, he never thought that he could actually achieve his goal. Even ten days ago, he was almost considering the option of giving up his cultivation and starting over with the Lou Guan sect's skills.

    When I left, there was only a thin layer of snow in Junshan, but when I came back, it was covered with snow and covered with snow.  Zhao Ran was very satisfied, as this heralded a good harvest in the coming year.

    Zhao Ran entered the Jade Emperor's Palace and found that several Junshan people were praying and offering incense, but there was no one on duty in the palace. Not only Jin Jiu was not there, but Lin Shuangwen and Qu Fenghe were not there either. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. He thought to himself that these guys had just lived their lives.  If you feel better, are you starting to slack off?

    According to the rules of Junshan Temple, Guan Er and Lu Jin are responsible for the security and inspection of the Junshan area. Zhong Sanlang often travels between villages on weekdays, playing a role in conveying public sentiments. It is normal for them to be absent.  But Jin Jiu, Lin Shuangwen and Qu Fenghe, who have studied scriptures, all have the duty to pay respect to pilgrims. If no one is here at this time, it would be a dereliction of duty.
