The documents in the White Horse Academy were neither too many nor too few. Zhao Ran immersed himself in reading them for three days and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Taoist Academy.
Among them, he looked at the resume of everyone in the Taoist temple very carefully, hoping to understand their background and experience as much as possible and establish a general impression.
For example, Yuan Hao, the supervisor of the imperial court, was known for his proficiency in warfare when he was the governor of Western Sichuan, Zhou Yu, and he was very decisive in his actions and very responsible.
Another example is Lei Shan, the chef of the capital, who has served as chief secretary and county magistrate, and is very familiar with people's livelihood and governance.
People all talk about Nie Zhishen. It was said by Zeng Zhili when he was the superintendent of Anyue Taiyuan. Zeng Zhili was transferred to Yongzhen, but he did not go with him.
¡¡
In addition to personnel issues, Zhao Ran is also more concerned about Dao property. There are basically no Taoist properties in Baima Yuan, and Shen Yingbin in the room has almost nothing to do, and is equivalent to an idler. According to the big account reported by the Dragon Accountant, the entire Baima Courtyard only had more than a thousand taels of silver, which was only enough to maintain the normal operation of the Taoist Temple for two months. It was extremely poor.
Such a poverty-stricken situation is also due to the lack of state-owned assets. We completely rely on funding from the peak. Without the function of self-production of blood, how can this life be easy?
This makes Zhao Ran very unhappy! Baimayuan is a Taoist temple that combines officialdom and Taoism. It not only has to preach, but also shoulder the responsibilities of the government. If you don't have money, what can you do?
Zhao Ran didn't leave the house, and was occupied in the abbot's residence in Baima Yuan, looking at various documents and files, for seven whole days.
On the seventh day after Zhao Ran took office as the abbot of Baimayuan, he received a note from his second senior brother Yu Zhichuan. The note was very long and described in detail what the Lou Guan sect saw and heard during their trip to Helin Pavilion in Fujian.
As the helmsman of the Ziyang Sect of the Neidan Nan Sect and the sitting master of the Zongguan Zhenshi Hall, Xu Zhenren¡¯s 100th birthday was celebrated with great excitement.
But Xu Zhenren¡¯s plan obviously failed. On the day of his birthday, not only the heads of various sects in Fujian went up to the mountain to congratulate him, but also many monks from other provinces came all the way. According to Senior Brother Yu, it is mainly the legacy left by Master Bai, the real person in Haiqiong more than a hundred years ago.
Xu Zhenren is a disciple of Peng Zhenren. Peng Zhenren is a direct disciple of Bai Yuchan, the founder of the Neidan Nan Sect. When Bai Zu was alive, he was the backbone of the entire Taoist sect, just like Zhang Laodao in the past few decades. Patriarch Bai traveled all over the world, made many good connections, and gave countless favors. It can be said that half of the Taoist sects and even more families of casual cultivators have received the favor from Patriarch Bai.
The Taoist sect pays attention to the cause and effect of fate, and these benefits are naturally reflected on the younger disciples of the Ziyang Sect. Xu Zhenren was like this for three generations of Patriarch Bai's disciples. When Peng Zhenren celebrated his 100th birthday, even more congratulatory guests came.
Senior Brother Yu expounded on the birthday banquet in a long and lengthy manner. His writing skills became more and more mellow and mature, and the descriptions were vivid and vivid, which made Zhao Ran enjoy it with relish.
Among them, the one that interests Zhao Ran the most is a monk named Gu Nanan. Zhao Ran once heard his teacher Jiang Tenghe mention that he was a fellow Taoist he met in Quzhou, Zhejiang when he was still in Huangguan Realm.
In addition to the Daomen Pavilion monks, the Ming Dynasty also had a large number of casual cultivators, which included various sects and aristocratic families of different sizes. Among them, the Gu family in Quzhou, Zhejiang is a relatively well-known family among casual cultivators. In terms of strength, it is even stronger than many small sects in Dao sects and pavilions, and their skills also have their own unique characteristics.
This Gu Nanan actually received the rank of master refiner earlier than his teacher Jiang Tenghe. Seeing this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel sorry for the Zhejiang Dao Sect's pavilion in Quzhou - Youlong Pavilion.
Instructing an alchemist requires 3.6 million Gui's faith value. Zhao Ran doesn't know how much Quzhou's faith value is in a year. As a monk from Sichuan, he can only read in the faith book he got. The figures for each prefecture and county in the province are calculated, but this figure is twelve times the credibility value of the Songfan area last year!
On Master Xu¡¯s birthday, Gu Nan¡¯an asked Jiang Tenghe to learn the Lou Guan technique in front of hundreds of monks from all over the country. According to Senior Brother Yu's notes, teacher Jiang Tenghe didn't want to be on the same level as him, but this person used words to confront him, so Teacher Jiang had no choice but to accept the challenge.
On the third day after Xu Zhenren¡¯s birthday, the two sides competed in front of the Ziyang Hall of Helin Pavilion. The leader of the Zhejiang Sanxiu family was defeated by Jiang Tenghe with an alchemy charm, using half a stick of incense before and after.
Seeing this, Zhao Ranxin said, Master Gu¡¯s cultivation is pretty good, he can hold up half a stick of incense in front of the teacher!
He remembered that at the foot of Taihua Mountain the year before last, Lan Tianyu, a monk from Chaotian Palace who was also at the master level, was defeated after just a few breaths in front of the teacher's alchemy. From this point of view, Gu Nanan was simply a casual cultivatorWhat a great master.
Senior Brother Yu added that his teacher Jiang Tenghe asked him to tell Zhao Ran that they would stay in Fujian for a while, listen to Master Xu's lectures on Taoism, and compete with several high-ranking disciples from Helin Pavilion. Zhao Ran still needs to take care of the construction of the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven. They cannot come back for the time being, especially the third senior brother Luo Zhiqing. After being defeated for a while, he is quite "lucky about Shu".
Zhao Ran was shocked and secretly thought that Senior Brother Luo would also be defeated? I don¡¯t know what state the other party is in? If they were in the same situation, it would really be a wake-up call for themselves - never underestimate the heroes of the world!
When I turned to the end of the notes, I didn¡¯t see Senior Brother Yu¡¯s description of the battle, so Zhao Ranfei asked.
Senior Brother Yu quickly replied, the other party was Lu Xixing, the third generation disciple of Helin Pavilion, who was in the realm of Archmage.
After receiving this reply, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. The other party was at least a level higher than Senior Brother Luo and would not let Senior Brother Luo's invincible image collapse in his heart.
Zhao Ran then flew the talisman and said: "Brother, please tell the teacher that everything is fine in Dajun Mountain and there is no need to worry about it."
Soon, Senior Brother Yu came with another flying talisman: "Senior Brother helped Junior Brother Luo vent his anger. Lu Xixing was defeated just now, haha!"
It turns out that senior brother is so powerful! He had never seen him take action before, so Zhao Ran never knew what he was capable of. But then I thought about it, the eldest brother is a senior Jindan. The teacher broke through seclusion in seclusion for two years. The responsibilities of teaching Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Luo and himself were all responsibilities of the senior brother. This already explains the problem. Furthermore, if he didn't have any skills, how could the teacher give him the Sun-Moon Huanghua Sword?
Since the teacher and his classmates had a great time in Fujian, Zhao Ran didn¡¯t need to be distracted and could concentrate on taking over Baima Courtyard.
On November 9, Zhao Ran, accompanied by Lu Zhizhong, the head of the Fangtang, left the Baima Courtyard and went to the countryside to understand the people's sentiments.
Yuan Hao heard that Zhao Ran was going out and quickly came over to ask: "Where is the abbot going? I will send more people to protect the abbot. This place is not peaceful yet. I am afraid there are young people"
Zhao Ran smiled: "I am a practitioner, a little young, no matter what harm comes in front of me, Lao Yuan does not have to worry."
Yuan Hao said: "The abbot is right. Then, should I arrange for someone to contact the abbot first?"
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "I just went out for a walk and took a look around. I don't know where I'm going. How can you contact me? Don't follow me. You should be busy with whatever you have to do. I'll take Master Lu there."
Yuan Hao arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and the two deacons from the dianzhuang room and the living room hurriedly followed him out. They called their men to perform a guard of honor, but Zhao Ran stopped them. Everyone looked at each other and watched Zhao Ran leave.
Yuan Hao smoothed his long beard with his hands and watched Zhao Ran crossing the street. He nodded and waved to everyone: "Let's all disperse."
