Starting from the 19th year of Jiajing, when Zhao Ran brought Qu Fenghe to Junshan Temple as a fire engineer, he had contact with Gan Shutong. The connection between the two became closer as Qu Fenghe formally worshiped in Lou Guan, and became even closer as Qu Fengshan gradually became the third generation disciple.
It can be said that today¡¯s Zongsheng Hall has become the backing of the Qu family and the Gan family in the spiritual world, and Gan Shutong has also become Zhao Ran¡¯s helping hand in the court. Zhang Lue's promotion to the commander of Longtan Guard and Zhang Juzheng's promotion to Zhan Shifu were both the result of Gan Shutong's influence.
Even the strong support given to Zhao Ran by two important officials in Sichuan, Zhou Mi, the chief envoy, and Xia Ji, the governor-general of western Sichuan, had a great relationship with Gan Shutong.
Zhao Ran is now the abbot of Tianhe Palace and has gained quite a reputation among the people. Masters and servants from all over the Gan Mansion unconsciously crowded into the front yard to admire the elegance of this immortal master.
Entering the flower hall, Gan Shutong brought his family and children to see Zhao Ran. He pointed at his five-year-old son and said, "My son is thirteen. I wonder if the abbot can take a look at him?"
The purpose of passing the inspection was to examine the bones. Gan Shutong did not ask anyone else to inspect, but asked himself to inspect this little Thirteen. He must be successful, so Zhao Ran cast a spell to inspect the bones. After taking a look, he nodded immediately.
Although his qualifications are not as good as those of Qu Fenghe and Qu Fengshan, he is very upright and can be blessed. He may not be able to learn water and stone elixirs, but he can study Huangting Taoism under his master's sect.
With a flick of his fingers, the five-year-old Sanlang Gan was lifted up by a gentle force. Zhao Ran pulled him to his side, gently stroked his little head, looked at his innocent and confused look, and smiled. : "Can Shangshu Gan give up his children?"
Gan Shutong was overjoyed: ¡°If you can enter into spiritual practice, you will have to give it up even if you don¡¯t want to!¡±
Zhao Ran pondered for a while and said: "Five years old is a bit too early to practice. Many people only start to contact Taoism at the age of six, but I think it is still too early. It is really suitable, at least after the age of nine." He said, joking Said: "But I don't want to let go of this material with excellent qualifications, otherwise other people will snatch it away, and our Sect Saint Hall will regret it."
Gan Shu accompanied him and laughed twice, while the young Mrs. Xu Xian looked at Zhao Ran nervously from the side, with a tangled face. This was because she wanted her child to embark on the real road to success, but she also did not want to give up her flesh and blood. separation.
Zhao Ran said: "Let's do this. What I want is to raise the child in the Cave Heaven of Dajun Mountain for three years. While learning the Taoist scriptures, he will receive the influence of spiritual practice. From an early age, he will learn to adapt to the spiritual environment of the Cave Heaven Paradise. When he is nine years old, Then get in touch with Taoism. Considering that the child is still young, can Shangshu Gan arrange for the family to move into the cave in Maharaja Mountain? I will find a place in the cave to build a yard to accommodate the people in the house. "
This is compared to the practice of many pavilions, where important relatives and friends are connected to the cave and become the secular way of the sect. From then on, it will be the basis for the reproduction of the sect. If the descendants have the talent for cultivation, they can directly become apprentices and learn from them. If they don¡¯t, they can help take care of it. The worldly affairs are like the omniscient guests of Lou Guan.
This is of course a good thing. From now on, the Qu family and the Gan family can truly transition from being secular to Taoist clans.
Gan Shu was also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was very particular about keeping his emotions and anger hidden. But after hearing what Zhao Ran said, he couldn't help twirling his beard and smiling. He quickly calculated in his mind which people to send into the Zongsheng Hall to help the Gan family. He Qujia first lays the foundation.
Gan Shutong is making plans here, and Zhao Ran is also starting to make plans. Now that he has said this, he also plans to formally discuss with his teacher and senior brother to start accepting ordinary people as an entry. This is an important step for the sect to grow. The fact that the Qu family and the Gan family can produce three monks in a row has shown that the blood and luck of these two families in recent years are at the right time. After being nurtured in the Cave Heaven Paradise, the proportion of talented people will be higher, which is the best candidate to accept.
In addition to these two families, Renjia Family, Yuan Hao Family, and even Du Tenghui Family in Hongyuan all have cultivating talents, and they are also objects of investigation.
Of course, in the past two years, many young people suitable for cultivation have been selected from the Songfan area, but most of them are from poor families. Zhao Ran cannot go door to door to accept them all into the sect's holy hall. No other hall in the world has done this. When considering whether to accept or not, there is another unspoken rule: whether it can help the sect.
??????????????????? Well, it¡¯s really un-monastic to say this, but the reality is like this, there is no reason to say it.
Mrs. Gan looked at Gan Shutong expectantly, with tears in her eyes: "Master"
Gan Shutong hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and nodded: "Then there is Mrs. Lao. But after going to the Zongsheng Hall, you must follow the rules of the Zongsheng Hall in everything, especially not to spoil your children too much. By the way. , and we must not forget the Qu family, the two families are one."
Mrs. Gan was overjoyed, her tears finally fell down, and she was deeply blessed: "Thank you, Master Thank you, Abbot"
Do everything wellDoing it in a timely manner was Zhao Ran's style. He immediately contacted the teacher and senior brother and told the matter. This was the only way to benefit the development of Lou Guan. They naturally agreed, and the matter was settled.
Mrs. Gan excitedly asked Zhao Ran about the location, scale and number of people living in the house, which made Gan Shutong very embarrassed. He stopped her and said to Zhao Ran: "It made the abbot laugh."
Mrs. Gan will set off in a month, taking Thirteenth Lang and several relatives to Sichuan. After arriving in Sichuan, she will first live in the Qu family residence in Long'an Prefecture, and discuss with Qu Zhongheng which tribesmen will enter the cave and which tribesmen will stay outside the house.
Zhao Ran gave the two families a total of twenty people. These quotas are very precious and cannot be wasted casually. After that, the two families went to Maharaja Mountain to worship at the gate and discussed with Quanzhike about building a new house in the cave. The real move in will probably not be until next year.
Gan Shutong was in a good mood and ordered the wine to be served. It had been prepared in the kitchen of the house for a long time. The flowing water was passed on. Zhang Juzheng accompanied him, and the three of them drank together.
Gan Shutong asked about Zhao Ran¡¯s living conditions in Jiming Temple, whether he had any necessary things, etc. Zhao Ran declined with a smile.
Talking about Zhang Lue, the commander of the Longtan Guards, Comrade Gan Shu said: "Zhang Lue manages the army well. Last year, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households inspected the capital camp. They found that his guard was the most elite. The regulations, grain and armor warehouses were all in good order. He was ranked first in the capital camp and was even praised by Xia Xiang."
Zhao Ran said: "He came out of the small army fighting step by step. If he had failed to manage the army well, he would have killed Xixia long ago. I met Xia Xiang once in Wudang. He has a sharp eye and a good understanding of people. I praised him. Zhang Lue is also reasonable."
Gan Shu said: "Speaking of Xia Xiang, he also talked about the abbot to me when he came back that year, saying that the abbot is a great talent in governing the world, but he is a Taoist. If he is above the court, the governor of a province or even a minister will not be able to run away. If you can¡¯t do it, when you become more senior, you can even take charge of the cabinet.¡±
Zhao Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Xia's high opinion, I may pay you a visit someday if I have the chance."
"Then I will meet Xia Xiang later and make an appointment with the abbot," Gan Shu said.
After drinking until nightfall, Zhao Ran saw that it was getting late, so he got up and left. Gan Shutong said that today he just invited Zhao Ran to come and recognize the door. After a few days, he would take him to enjoy the nightlife of the capital.
Back at Jiming Temple, the lights in Jingyang Tower had already been lit. Zhao Ran returned to his room and continued to practice the water stone elixir method.
