After settling Bai Tengming, Zhao Ran put on the robe of the Huangguan monk and came to the gate of Xuanyuan Temple again.
When the two Taoist priests who were newly on duty in the guest hall saw the three flames on Zhao Ran's robe, they quickly came over to say hello: "This immortal mastereh?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Pindao came here in the morning, and he also handed in the post at that time, but he came with someone else. This time Pindao wants to see your Xue Zhike, please let me know, so tell Junshan Zhao Zhiran asks to see you."
"That's it. Please ask the immortal master to come in and wait a moment. We'll report it to Xue Zhike immediately." With that, he led Zhao Ran in again.
After drinking less than half a cup of tea in the familiar private room, Xue Tengqian, a knowledgeable guest of Xuanyuan Temple, came in. This gentleman is in his forties, in the prime of life, and holds the position of intellectual guest among the eight deacons of Xuanyuan Temple. He is a powerful figure in the Shifang Jungle of Dao Sect in Sichuan Province.
Xue Tengqian and Zhao Ran have met several times and are considered acquaintances. The first time they met was when Zhao Ran came to Xuanyuan Temple to meet Song Zhiyuan at the end of last year. At that time, Zhao Ran lived in the guest room of Yunshuitang in Xuanyuan Temple, because Song Zhiyuan was there. , Xue Tengqian came over to meet Zhao Zhixing.
The two really got to know each other at Ye Xueguan, when four of the eight deacons of Xuanyuan Temple were gone, including Xue Tengqian. With the help of Song Zhiyuan, Zhao Ran and Xue Tengqian sat together for several meals and got to know each other.
Between the two of them, one is an intellectual at the level of the eight deacons of the Provincial Government, and the other is a small temple priest in the county. In terms of job level alone, they are definitely incompatible. It is useless for Song Zhiyuan to try his best to pull Zhao Ran up. . What really allowed him to sit with these big guys and talk and laugh freely was Zhao Ran's status as a monk in the pavilion.
Zhao Ran hopes that having an acquaintance in Xuanyuan Guan can help him to some extent; Xue Tengqian thinks that Zhao Ran's status as a monk in the palace is very flattering to him, and he may have someone to ask for in the future. From a purely interest perspective, they both need each other, so they are very happy to get along with each other, and they have a good impression of each other. This is the basis of friendship.
"Haha, Zhao Miaozhu, Master Zhao Xian, why do you have time to come to Xuanyuan to see me this time?" Xue Tengqian first clasped his fists and bowed his head as soon as he entered the door, then grabbed Zhao Ran's arm and pulled him out into his own office study not far away. Inside, he poured tea with his own hands and handed it over.
As expected, he has been a Zhike person for many years. This enthusiasm alone made Zhao Ran, who had just eaten Ye Yunxuan and felt aggrieved, feel happy.
"I'm ashamed that I came to ask Xue Zhike for help as soon as I came to the door. I'm so embarrassed." Zhao Ran was not polite and went straight to the point.
"That's right if you can remember to come to me if you have something to do. This means that our friendship is in place. If you don't come to me, then I, Old Xue, will have to talk to you!"
Being a Zhike is more arrogant and more vulgar in behavior and speech, but Zhao Ran likes this kind of vulgarity the most, like Ye Yunxuan's sunny spring and snow. Zhao Ran said that he is not the same person as him.
"By the way, when we were at Ye Xueguan, didn't Xue Zhike have a lot of phlegm and a burning heart? After I returned to Huayun Mountain, I invited some of my classmates to brew a few jars of wine for my senior brother with natural kidney beans and five-flowered cloud leaves. , drink a cup every day, if it doesn¡¯t work after three months, senior brother, feel free to come to me.¡±
Zhao Ran took out three small wine jars from the storage ring and placed them on the table.
Xue Tengqian picked up one of the jars, patted the sealing mud, put it to his nose and smelled it, and immediately said with joy: "It smells so good! Not to mention curing the disease, even if it doesn't cure the disease, the aroma of the wine alone is enough to make you feel warm!"
Brewed with five-flower fragrant cloud leaves, can it not be fragrant?
Zhao Ran¡¯s Junshan Temple has a lot of natural kidney beans and five-flowered cloud leaves. Others are reluctant to use them to make wine, but he carelessly doesn¡¯t care.
In fact, this wine was made by Zhao Ran himself in Junshan Temple. It was not brewed in Huayun Mountain, nor was it made by "a few fellow disciples" together. It was just adding a little "fairy flavor" to make the wine a higher level.
The relationship has deepened, and then we can talk about business and get twice the result with half the effort.
"To be honest, I came here to see Zhike for the position of abbot of Xizhenwu Palace."
Xue Tengqian was stunned: "You don't want to seek this Taoist position, do you?"
Zhao Ran quickly explained: "How is it possible? I have just become the third capital of Wujiyuan, and I have not even become the supervisor of Wujiyuan. How can I think about the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace. He is an elder of mine and treats me very kindly. , The elders of Xizhenwu Palace talk about Bai Tengming, do Zhike know about him?"
Xue Tengqian shook his head and smiled: "I was shocked. If you want to talk about Bai Tengming, I know this person. He has a profound foundation in Taoism, but he is a bit more upright."
"Indeed, Mr. Bai has nothing to say in terms of knowledge, but he is too straightforward But he is so old and has dedicated decades to the Taoist Sect of Sichuan Province. I just wanted to help him, so I tried my best to help him. It can be regarded as repaying the kindness he has shown me over the past few years."
Xue Tengqian said: "I can't get involved in this matter, youI know that the abbot of a Taoist palace is an issue that Li Jianyuan and others are considering. I rashly intervened. One thing is useless, and the other thing is a mess. "
Zhao Ran nodded: "I understand this. I came to see Zhike mainly because I wanted to find out. Now that I have the position of abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, is there any chance for Bai Duyue? If there is a chance, where should I start? I hope Zhike can give me some advice. .¡±
Xue Tengqian thought for a while and said: "Since you are the one who spoke, I will tell you my opinion."
"Thank you!"
"My first opinion is that you came at the right time. If you are later, it will be too late. Since Du Tenghui went to Songfan Tianhe Palace to serve as the superintendent, the position of abbot of Xizhenwu Palace has been vacant. Of course, the abbot is vacant and It is not necessary to make up for it immediately. Of the twenty-one Taoist palaces in the province, half of them do not have abbots. But for Xizhenwu Palace, Li Supervisor is indeed considering it, but there is no final decision yet. I heard that Li Supervisor plans to We will convene a meeting in the three capitals in a few days to discuss this issue."
"Second, judging from the current situation, it is a bit difficult. There are rumors in the audience that several people want to be the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, and Bai Tengming has many opponents. I will tell you a little news about me, and you will forget it after hearing it. Yes. It¡¯s Lao Xin, the master of Guanli Sutra, who seems to want to be the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace. He is the person Ye Du said.¡±
"You can't, right? He is a sutra master and only a county supervisor. How could he think of becoming an abbot? Isn't this a too big a jump?"
"You don't know this. Lao Xin went to Xuzhou and worked as a high-level scholar for a year. Everyone who just transferred to Xuzhou last month will tell you. Although it is a temporary job, the level is solid enough. You want to say that the qualifications are too high. Qian, do you really want to mention him, is seniority a big deal? Besides, Lao Xin wants the position of abbot, not a prison, so this will be easier."
"I see Zhike, please continue."
"Speaking of Ye Dudao, you should be more careful this time and try to stay away."
"Why?"
"You made such an incident when Ye Xueguan was recommended. I heard that Ye Dujiao had a strong opinion of you and threw a cup in public in his study. I didn't see this, but many people saw it with their own eyes."
Zhao Ran was ashamed: "This was for self-protection"
"Haha, I understand. I was also there at the time. I understand. Thirdly, Du Guan Zhao doesn't like Lao Xin. If you want to help Bai Tengming, go to Du Guan Zhao quickly and explore his connections."
Zhao Ran thought to himself, it seems that it is still the same as his original plan, he has to find Zhao Yunlou. However, with Xue Zhike's guidance, Zhao Ran understood the current situation more thoroughly, and when he met Zhao Yunlou, his words became more directional.
"Zhike, when I was at Ye Xueguan, I once reported matters to Mr. Zhao, the superintendent, and he also knew about me. Could you please Zhike go out and send a message to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao Zhiran, of Junshan Temple? ask to see?"
"This is no problem!" Xue Tengqian said happily.
