Senior Brother's Chicken Soup for the Soul made Zhao Ran shudder a little, but after thinking about it, instead of letting the Shouyuan of the previous three months be lost in vain and get nothing, it was better to simply grit his teeth and accept this bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul.

So Zhao Ran chose to open the hexagram, and as soon as the elephant came out, the chest suddenly struck like a lightning strike, and the whole person was committed.

After recuperating from Huo Shan's illness for three days, and thinking about it for three days, he recovered some of his bones and immediately set off down the mountain.

When he returned to Dajun Mountain, he met his senior brother Wei Zhizhen in person, who was teaching to the three generations of disciples of Louguan in the Heart Washing Pavilion.

The eldest disciple Qu Fenghe is serving as the abbot of the White Horse Academy, working hard for the preaching cause of the Ming Dynasty. There are four people present in the Xixin Pavilion, the first one is Feng Tang, the second is Qu Fengshan who was bone-setting the year before last, the third is Yuan Lin, who was included in the door at the end of the year before, and the fourth is Zhao Hao, who has just been bone-setting in the first month of this year.

Feng Tangfu showed outstanding talent as soon as he came into contact with practice, half a year into the Taoist, another three months in the Taoist realm, just one year later, at the end of last year, he broke through the realm and entered the Yushi realm, and his speed chased Qu Fenghe.

Qu Fengshan also lives up to Zhao Ran's insight, and has been cultivating in the Taoist realm for half a year now, according to Wei Zhizhen's speculation, if nothing else, he will be awarded the title of Yu Shi by the end of this year.

Yuan Lin is the son of Yuan Hao, this is a talent discovered by Luo Zhiqing, and he officially worshiped Luo Zhiqing's disciples, but Wei Zhizhen's lectures are excellent, and Luo Zhiqing asks himself that he can't compare, so he follows Wei Zhizhen when he learns the Tao, and he is taught by Luo Zhiqing himself when he practices magic, and he also entered the Taoist realm in the first month of this year.

There is also a disciple in the pavilion is Zhao Hao, who has just turned fifteen this year, and Zhao Hao, who opened the altar of the door by Jiang Tenghe, has just formed his bones, and it was impossible to enter the Tao so quickly, but because of the early entry, he consciously or unconsciously accepted two years of spiritual edification in the cave of Dajun, and he came into contact with a lot of monks and spirit demons on weekdays, and laid a good foundation between his ears and eyes. So he sat down on the edge of the pavilion, and when he couldn't bear it, he withdrew, and when he was almost finished, he sat back down.

Like the Sword Pavilion, the Washing Heart Pavilion is the best magic weapon to assist the disciples of Louguan in their cultivation, especially for the middle and low-level disciples to lay a good foundation for cultivation. Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, and Luo Zhiqing all successfully married Dan, and they have an inseparable relationship with the refining of the Washing Heart Pavilion - except for Zhao Ran.

Therefore, Wei Zhizhen's daily preaching and teaching are all here in the Heart Washing Pavilion, and sometimes if a few third-generation female disciples from the Asking Love Sect are free, they will also be encouraged to come to the Heart Washing Pavilion to listen to the lectures, and Wei Zhizhen has nothing to see them outside, and patiently teaches them without discrimination.

In addition to the above four people, there are also six disciples who were newly admitted to the sect during the two major censuses, and they all sat outside the pavilion to listen to the lectures, and they were all people with qualifications and roots, but their qualifications were not as prominent as those in the pavilion.

In addition to listening to lectures here, the homework that usually accounts for the majority of the homework is still by Louguan and the layman to learn the words and learn the Tao, so as to lay the foundation for the future entry into the Tao.

Looking at this scene of teaching, Zhao Ran recalled the time when he was in Huayun Pavilion, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

He didn't bother, took out the futon given by the teacher and sat down, and listened to Wei Zhizhen's lecture from afar.

After it was over, Wei Zhizhen came over and asked, "The hexagram came out?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "This year's drought, all four counties of Long'an Prefecture, Bao County, Maozhou and An County in the north of the capital, Yongzhen County, Xiaohe County and Songfan County on our side, which is roughly the area at the junction of the three prefectures, I counted, involving nearly one million people." ”

Wei Zhizhen was stunned and said, "No wonder there hasn't been a single snowfall since the end of last autumn, let's go and find the teacher." ”

Jiang Tenghe had just returned from Fujian with Zhao Liniang, and after hearing about this, he was silent for a moment, and flew to the Jade Emperor Pavilion Oriental Heavenly Master.

The Eastern Heavenly Master asked, "How much is Zhiran's divination?"

Jiang Tenghe said: "He learned the plum blossom easy to count from the ancestor of Longyang, and seven or eight out of ten is no problem." ”

Dongfang Heavenly Master asked again: "Can you ask Patriarch Longyang to count it again?"

So Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang took Wei Zhizhen and Zhao Ran to Yunxian again.

After hearing about Zhao Ran's prediction, the ancestor of Longyang pondered for a long time, this kind of large-scale natural disaster is to lose life, which he knows better than Zhao Ran, but he does not know as much as Zhao Ran about how much life is broken, despite this, from past experience, predicting such a major heavenly opportunity, the life span must be calculated in years.

Patriarch Longyang was only twenty or thirty years away from being three hundred years old, and he really didn't dare to take such a risk. Therefore, let Zhao Ran put the predicted parameters aside for him, and after reading it, he pondered for a long time, and said to Jiang Tenghe: "Zhiran's divination is more accurate than mine, and I recognize this hexagram." Hurry up and prepare, spring plowing is coming soon, and this matter must not be delayed. ”

With the endorsement of the Longyang Patriarch, the Eastern Heavenly Master finally made up his mind, flew to the Huayun Pavilion and the Kuixing Pavilion respectively, and informed the two great elders to rush to the Jade Emperor Pavilion immediately the next day.

Under the auspices of the Eastern Heavenly Master, the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Huayun Pavilion, the Kuixing Pavilion and the Zongsheng Pavilion reached an agreement and began to prepare for drought relief efforts.

This resolution was immediately written by Xuanyuanguan, and Xuanyuanguan came forward and summoned all relevant parties to Qingcheng Mountain seven days later.

At the end of February, the Xuanyuanguan East Courtyard was curfew, and the Fang Tang Inspector and many Taoist priests blocked the roads leading to the East Courtyard to ensure that the deliberations in the hall were not disturbed by pilgrims, and to avoid the major matters being discussed from being leaked in advance and causing panic among the people.

The deliberations were convened by Xuanyuanguan Zhao Yunlou, and the participants included Zhou Yi, the governor of Sichuan Zuobu, Xia Ji, the governor of western Sichuan, the prefect of He Prefecture and the prefect of Long'an Prefecture, Bai Tengming, the supervisor of Tianhe Palace, Song Zhiyuan, the supervisor of Jingshou Palace, Xu Tenglong, the supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace, and the governors and chefs of each palace.

The dozen or so Taoist priests and high-ranking officials sitting in the scripture hall are the highest authorities in the jungle and the government of the ten directions in the northwest of Sichuan Province, and every decision made here will affect the fate of two million people in the northwest of Sichuan Province and even more than eight million people in the entire Sichuan.

As representatives of the Spiritual Pavilion, Dongfang Jing was the main and Zhao Ran was the deputy, and the two also attended the meeting, and they will supervise the drought in this fight, and liaise with the pavilions to give full play to the strength of the monks.

As soon as the discussion began, it fell into a quarrel, for the sake of keeping secrets, Xuanyuan Guan informed these high-ranking officials that they did not explain what was going on when they came to Qingcheng Mountain, and as soon as it was announced at this moment, it immediately caused a big uproar.

The main point of controversy is whether this matter is a definite number, and there are many cases of predicting natural disasters, but I have never heard of such a precise prediction, and it is really unheard of to specify the place and time of the disaster, or even the area where the disaster occurred.

Several prefects said that although there has been no rain or snow in northwest Sichuan since last autumn, this phenomenon has happened many times before, and it has since proved that although there is little rain and snow, it is not absent. It is not pertinent to presume that this year's drought will be severe on this basis.

If it is decided to adjust the direction of this year's administration in accordance with this forecast, it will inevitably require the consumption of a great deal of financial and material resources and the requisition of a large amount of manpower, and the impact will be very far-reaching; if the forecast is not accurate, God should have rained and rained, and there should be a bumper harvest, then will not the entire Sichuan Daomen and officialdom have to become a laughing stock?
