Chapter Twenty-Three: Didn't Take Advantage of It
That night, Zhao Ran waited for Mingjue at the official post, and waited until it was close to the son, when Mingjue knocked on the door.
Zhao Ran opened the door and said, "Master Mingjue, it's so late, is there anything urgent?"
Mingjue said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I disturbed the Taoist chief to rest, and here, the little monk is for the Taoist chief to mention the establishment of a permanent business inn in the Jinbo Club." ”
Zhao Ran let Mingjue into the house, and Mingjue was ripe, so he was busy boiling water and cooking tea in the room. Zhao Ran yawned and took the tea cup handed by Mingjue: "Let me wake up." After drinking a lamp, he said, "Well, it's much better now." Master, please speak. ”
Mingjue said: "My Tianlong Academy is very grateful to the Dao Chief for sending back the rainbow body thousands of miles, so I attach great importance to the matter of the Dao Chief, and after several heads of the Golden Needle Hall, Bodhi Hall, and Xuanye Hall discussed with the elders again, they urged the three divisions to supervise the work overnight, and finally came up with such a method, can the Dao Chief see if it works?"
"Oh, that's hard work for you, great monks, you can tell me. ”
"First, the Taoist chief set up a business name, tried to avoid the words Daomen or Daming, and chose a place to establish a business inn next to the Jinbo Club. The place will be found for you by the three divisions, and you will be satisfied. ”
"I'm okay with that. ”
"Second, the Taoist chief's business inn can bid for commercial goods at the Jinbo Auction House, and can be brought back to the Ming Dynasty, and the checkpoints and forts that pass through on the way will not be embarrassed, and no gold and commercial taxes will be charged, and the three divisions can give the Taoist a document voucher. ”
"Getting to the point. ”
"Haha...... Third, the types of goods to be auctioned shall not exceed 100 cattle per year, and the number of horses shall be limited to 10, and the rest shall be arbitrary. ”
Zhao Ran immediately said unhappily: "Master Mingjue, what is this amount of cattle and horses enough for?
Mingjue immediately smiled and said: "Dao Chief, don't worry, my Tianlong Academy is thinking about the Dao Chief's difficulties, so I specially pressed the three divisions and asked them to agree to give Dao Chang Liangju three hundred horses at one time!
This seems to be not bad, but Zhao Ran is still tentatively increasing the weight: "Two hundred cattle and one hundred horses every year!"
Mingjue said with a bitter face: "Dao Chief, it's really difficult to be a little monk." ”
"Two hundred oxen and fifty horses!"
"It's really not good, I can't add more...... The Taoist chief should also be considerate of the difficulties of the Tenryu Temple...... My Tianlong Temple is different from Jian Lonely, Jian Lonely's view is a good word, but Tianlong Temple can't do it. ”
"What do you say about Cheng An's freedom to come and go?"
"This ...... Jinbo Club is busy, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out......"
Zhao Ran saw that Ming Jue was embarrassed, and he also knew that if he wanted to let Tianlong Academy become An Huiming, I was afraid it would not be so easy.
Zhao Ran didn't dare to dwell on this issue any longer, and "standing up for his friends" had to stop in moderation, and it was difficult to grasp the proportions in between. If you talk too much, it will arouse greater suspicion from the other party, and attract the attention of Tianlong Academy to Cheng An a hundred times, but instead push Cheng An into the fire pit. So after thinking about it, he could only change his words and say: "Then let's do it, Poor Dao takes a step back, first, you must ensure Cheng'an's personal safety, he is a close friend of Poor Dao, Poor Dao must not sit idly by and watch him have an accident, this point, I need the official text guarantee of Tianlong Academy; second, the three hundred good horses given to me must be more than four feet five inches high on their backs!"
Mingjue wiped the sweat on his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Daochang Zhao, then tomorrow we will hand over in Tianlong Academy, okay? Chengdong's family is safe and worry-free, this little monk is still sure, in fact, Chengdongjia is not only a friend of the Taoist, but also a friend of the little monk, and the little monk will definitely contribute to this matter when he goes back; ”
Zhao Ran nodded: "Master Mingjue has worked hard, in order to show his gratitude, there is a small gift for the master." As he spoke, he took out a folding fan from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "If you have nothing to do, you will write a fan and give it to the master for appreciation." ”
Mingjue was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly took it, opened it and took a look, but it was the first paragraph of the "Tao Te Ching" written by Zhao Ran, the full text was waved in regular script, handsome and free, and extremely beautiful. At the end, there is also a note on the money, which indicates that "the book is given to the enlightened Taoist friends to Save and encourage."
Mingjue carefully put it away, smiled and left. Out of the official post, Mingjue looked left and right, and the sex really flashed out of the darkness and asked, "How?"
Mingjue smiled and nodded, and then asked, "It's okay, right?"
"Don't worry, the first seat is here in person, and I won't let the people over there in." You go back first, be careful on the way. ”
In the official post, Zhao Ran pondered for a long time, and exchanged his mandala for the "Xuanyuan Ten Sons", and was allowed to open a caravan to inform the Oriental Rite with a flying talisman. At the same time, Cheng An's situation was explained and presented, telling Dongfang Li that Cheng An was temporarily free of worries, but he couldn't go back to Daming, so he could only try his best to ensure his safety and let Tianlong Academy issue documents.
After a long time, Dongfang Li's reply was belated, this was an official letter from the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion stamped with Dongfang Li's own seal, in the letter, he told Zhao Ran not to deliberate, let alone worry, and to find a chance to rescue him in the future.
As for the matter of the mandala, Dongfang Li had already reported to Elder Zhuo of the Sanqing Pavilion General Hall, and the main hall replied that it could ensure the safety of Cheng'an, and it could be exchanged for the "Xuanyuan Ten Sons", not to mention that it had also obtained three hundred good horses, and the main hall thought that this matter was feasible. At the same time, the main hall also said that the mandala was Zhao Ran's personal property, and the exchanged items were disposed of by Zhao Ran himself.
Zhao Ran put this letter in his fingers and solemnly kept it. Dongfang Li was very thoughtful about his safety, and he was very grateful for it.
This was followed by the second flying talisman of Dongfang Li, which was a private message from Dongfang Li. He hoped that Zhao Ran would be able to go to the Jade Emperor Pavilion after exchanging the "Xuanyuan Ten Sons" back. In the words, the meaning is still earnest.
Zhao Ran understood after a little pondering, smiled and didn't say more.
In the Bodhi Hall on the second day, Zhao Ran followed Mingjue to a side room, and after entering, he saw Xing Zhen and two deacon monks of the Bodhi Hall, one of whom he had seen before, was a monk with the Dharma name Wenda of the Bodhi Hall, and the other had tight eyes.
But it was this extremely eye-catching Yangfan monk who was extremely enthusiastic about himself, watching the seat, serving tea, and taking a bite of "Zhao Xianchang", which made Zhao Ran quite strange.
Generally speaking, most of the people who call Zhao Ran "Immortal Chief" are ordinary people in the world, of course, there are some vulgar ways in the Ten Directions Jungle who call him so, but there are not many, no matter what, it is not the turn of a cultivator of Tianlong Academy to call himself "Immortal Chief", right? Is it the same as Mingjue, and he is also a fan of himself?
Xingzhen handed over a document first, Zhao Ran opened it and looked at it carefully, nodded and put his fingers on the wrench. This text was issued by the Third Division of Xia Guo, indicating that a certain firm can pass through the border at will, and the officials and the people must not be embarrassed and must not collect centigold commercial tax.
Mingjue handed Zhao Ran another voucher, which stated that the Tianlong Academy guaranteed the personal safety of the Ming merchant Cheng An in the Xia Kingdom, and did not restrict his actions in the Xia Kingdom, and the seal of the first Shenxiu was stamped at the end.
Zhao Ran pondered the meaning of the credential carefully and couldn't help but sigh. This credential is both a guarantee and a deterrent. The positive meaning is that he agreed to the conditions proposed by Zhao Ran, but when he thinks about it on the other hand, Tianlong Yuan's attitude is very clear - Cheng An is out of the territory of Xia Kingdom, and his safety cannot be guaranteed, which is clearly not allowed Cheng An to leave the country. In the end, it even provided a sufficient reason for monitoring Cheng'an, in order to ensure Cheng'an's personal safety, does Tianlong Yuan need to deploy people to "guard" it?
There are also knowledgeable people among the monks, who are not simple at all! On this issue, Zhao Ran did not take too much advantage, and could only suffer this "dumb loss" that was not a loss.
Next is the main event, at least Tianlong Academy thinks that Zhao Ran took out the most important original intention of the mandala - "Xuanyuan Ten Sons".
