    Not long after, the master and the disciple came to a stream in the mountains, each holding a magic weapon in their hands. The master shouted: "dig!" So the master and the disciple worked hard to dig a hole. After half an hour, they dug a hole.  A deep pit with appropriate length, width and height.

    The disciple took out the hourglass and carefully put it aside. The master stepped forward to inspect it and said while looking at it: "This hourglass must be adjusted well, and there must be no slight deviation." After the inspection, he ordered the apprentice to go to the stream to carry water: "Every wood  Ten kilograms of buckets, no more, no less, watch the dripping time, and pour ten buckets into it in a quarter of an hour, remember?"

    The disciple responded: "I understand, Master!"

    When everything was ready, the master shouted: "Do it!" So the master and the apprentice each had a wooden bucket. The apprentice filled the bucket with water, and the master took the water. They strictly followed the time on the dripper.

    After struggling for about two hours, seeing that it was getting dark, the apprentice suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, I made a mistake, please forgive me."

    The master was stunned and asked, "What did you do wrong?"

    The disciple looked ashamed: "Master, I can't remember clearly. I forgot which bucket this is"

    The master jumped up suddenly, threw the barrel over, hit the apprentice, and said angrily: "You just don't concentrate, you just don't concentrate. I've told you about your bad habit before! You don't concentrate on practicing, and you don't concentrate on carrying water."  , do you want to make me angry to death?"

    After scolding him, his anger subsided a little, and the master said seriously: "Disciple, you must concentrate on your practice. Do you know why Zhao Xingxing asked this question? It's just to test your concentration!"

    "Yes, disciple understandsthen, master, what should we do now?"

    "What else can we do? Drain the water and start over!"

    "It's getting late, Master, do you want to come back tomorrow?"

    "Disciple, do you know the second meaning of this question that Zhao Xingxing asked? The test is whether you can persevere!"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the way, the two masters and apprentices of the Spirit Snake Sect released the water and recounted the count, just say that Zhao Ran was making various preparations for the ceremony of engraving ceremony at Junshan Temple.

    In order to be fully prepared, Zhao Ran flew a talisman to ask the two master Zhuo uncles about the number of casual cultivators who signed up for the last ceremonial teaching competition.

    The two Zhuo Mastershu have been practicing Taoism for six years, and they have presided over two ritual ceremony competitions. One was attended by 83 casual cultivators, and the other was attended by 78 people.  There are twenty-one and twenty-five monks above the Guan realm.

    After getting this number, Zhao Ran felt confident and began to prepare according to the scale of twenty-five people participating in the competition.

    Zhao Ran planned to use the back garden of Junshan Temple as an examination room, with twenty-five sets of tables and chairs arranged around the pavilion. The pavilion would serve as a place for several Taoists from the review team to walk around and rest to invigilate the examination.  Answered from the pen on the chair.

    The competition lasted for two days. The first day was a written test in the morning and the papers were marked in the afternoon. The next morning there was still an interview in the back garden. After the interview, the results were announced in the afternoon and the entire competition was over.

    Each monk can arrange to stay in the guest room of Yunshui Hall of Junshan Temple that night. Zhao Ran clearly stated in the announcement that each person will be charged an examination fee of ten taels of silver, which includes room and board, materials and marking.

    Twenty-five people participated in the competition, but there must have been more than that at the reception. Elders and junior brothers in the sect, parents at home, relatives and friends, etc. will probably accompany them. There are also some who have not been to Huangguan Realm, maybe  I will also come to watch and explore ways for myself to participate in the competition in the future.

    As a result, Junshan Temple will no longer be able to accommodate so many people.  So Zhao Ran recruited Zhong Sanlang and asked him to go to the village and mobilize the surrounding farmers to make simple improvements to their homes and turn them into farmhouses.

    Zhao Ran asked them to unify the charging standards. The accommodation fee for each guest per day should not be less than 300 cents. They were not allowed to reduce it by a cent without authorization. Once discovered, the household's qualification to receive the guest would be cancelled.

    There is still more than a month before the competition, so Zhao Ran is not in a hurry. He just calls Wang Simu, a newly recruited man from the temple, and asks him to go to Junshan Wood Workshop and order tables and chairs from the workshop.

    During the autumn harvest season of the 20th year of Jiajing, Jin Jiu took the Taoist priests and fireworkers from Junshan Temple directly to the fields. Among the spirit demons, the Five Color Masters and Qingtian laymen all went to help.  Wu Se is a little expert in agriculture because he has been working for a long time and is familiar with the situation. Qingtian also takes the initiative to help in the fields, but it is purely out of personal interest. As soon as he does farm work, he is like a chicken blood, and he is so excited that he can't sleep.

    With the help of two spirit demons, the harvest work of farmers in Junshan was extremely smooth. By late October, the entire autumn harvest came to a successful conclusion, with an average yield of six stones per mu.

    After a good harvest, as usual, various fasting festivals are held in Junshan Temple to pray for good weather and abundant harvests in the coming year, to thank God for his blessings, and to thank Zhao Ran for taking care of this land and water.In addition to Junshan local people, people from other places in the Junshan special mission area also spontaneously came to Junshan Temple. Starting from this year, they also joined the ranks of making meritorious contributions to Zhao Ran.

    This time of year is also the day when Zhao Ran¡¯s meritorious service surges. This year, with the expansion of Junshan¡¯s special missionary area, the growth phenomenon is particularly prominent.  So much merit was received that Zhao Ran had to spend an extra quarter of an hour to refine the surge in merit power after attending the important fasting ceremony every day.

    Since this year, Zhao Ran¡¯s base of merit power has increased from more than 10,000 people to more than 40,000 people, and his cultivation progress has begun to accelerate significantly.

    After the autumn harvest, the people could stop and relax for a while, but Zhao Ran couldn't take any time off, and his days were still very busy.

    Qingmiaoqian reform, Huiminji Medical Hall and road and canal renovation projects are the three major projects planned by Zhao Ran to develop the people's livelihood in Guyang County. Currently, they are all promoted by the joint efforts of Liu Zhiguang, the Supervisor of Wuji Hospital, and the County Zun of Yakong County.  Proceeding in an orderly manner.

    The preliminary preparations for the Qingmiao Qian reform are almost completed. Liu Zhiguang sent a request for instructions, stating that the entire Guyang County has been divided into five districts. It is expected that a bidding meeting will be held in the county on December 20, with large households in the county bidding.  Qingmiao Qian's loan qualifications asked Zhao Ran if it was "appropriate".  Zhao Ran drew a circle and replied "yes".

    After Chen Zhizhong took over the specific affairs of Huiminji Medical Hall, he was very active. He had already negotiated the expansion of Huiminji Medical Hall's territory, and bought two houses next to it for one hundred and twenty taels of silver.  Bought it.  The renovation and renovation of the entire hospital is about to begin and will be completed by March next year.

    The route planning for the early stage of the road and canal renovation project has been completed, and the recruitment notice for manpower in the Junshan area has also been issued, and the number of applications was already full on the same day.  So Zhao Ran went to Baishanjun and asked her to go to Taihua Mountain and tell the spirit monsters in Taihua Mountain to report to Junshan as soon as possible. The volunteer activities are about to begin.

    The day after Baishanjun went to Taihua Mountain, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman from Li Tengxin, a Taoist practitioner at Kuixing Hall in Dufu, asking Zhao Ran if he knew a casual cultivator named Lin Zhibin.
