Pei Zhongze regarded Zhao Ran as a noble person on the road of cultivation, but Zhao Ran didn't dare to be, so he hurriedly smiled: "If it weren't for Senior Brother Pei's support all the way, I wouldn't have been able to return to Daming, maybe I would have died in the middle of the road back then." ”

Pei Zhongxi interjected: "I think Senior Brother Zhiran is not only a noble person for my eldest brother, but also a noble person for several of our brothers and sisters. ”

Pei Zhongjiang and Pei Zhonghai both nodded yes, Zhao Ran was very surprised, if the four brothers in a family can marry Dan, it is more difficult than all four brothers in a family to marry Dan, it is really a good story in Daomen, so he hurriedly congratulated.

After the banquet dispersed, Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran were wandering in Qingyun Mountain, and Pei Zhongze asked, "Zhiran is still waiting for the Ruthless Sword?"

For Pei Zhongze, Zhao Ran really had nothing to hide, so he said: "It's not that I'm waiting, to be honest, I'm afraid I can't wait, Senior Sister Zhou has lofty ambitions, and it is the habit of idle clouds and wild cranes...... Originally, I had some expectations, but over the years, I have become much less optimistic. ”

"That'...... What about Rong Niang?

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "It's good." ”

Pei Zhongze smiled: "Is it good......? Big heart...... I can persuade Zhiran, if the ruthless sword is not good, hurry up and marry Rong Niang, don't delay something. ”

Zhao Ran sighed: "Being able to marry Rong Niang is undoubtedly the best choice, but I'm afraid my family is still a little behind." On the teacher's door, on the background is a farmer, on the cultivation is just a golden pill, how can I go to Gesoshan to propose?"

"Maybe the threshold of Ge Soap Mountain is not as high as Zhi Ran thought?"

"Maybe, but it's not hard, what do you use to strike iron? Just a joke, just marry like this, do you want your husband to do it? Besides, my teacher also let go, a few senior brothers haven't married for a day, so I won't be his ...... for a day."

Pei Zhongze also felt amused: "You guys are ......"

The next day, Zhao Ran heard that Pei Zhonglu had finally officially entered the Houshan retreat, and at the same time, he also received a flying talisman from Dongfang Jing: "Zhiran, I plan to retreat and try to refine the master realm, and I have already resigned from the responsibility of guarding the monks of the Hongyuan Imperial Palace, so if there is something wrong, you can contact my senior brother Li directly." ”

Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, what is going on this month? The people around him are just breaking through the realm one by one, retreating into retreat?

Returning to the Zongsheng Pavilion, the fairy of the Toad Palace said to Zhao Ran: "This palace is going to retreat, and this retreat is as short as two or three years, and as long as three or five years, it is something that cannot be explained. I've also thought about the head of the mountain gate you asked me to recommend, so let the Tongjishen Ape do it. ”

Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "The fairy is so generous, he fought with him back then, but now he is willing to give up the power, which is really admirable to the poor Dao." ”

The fairy of the Toad Palace said: "What is this? Isn't it common for us to fight spiritually? Besides, this matter, of course, is the only one who is powerful, we have a ring in the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa these days, and the monkey won the final victory. ”

"Ma Wangye and Huang Shanjun can't beat through the arms?"

"He swept them all down, and there was nothing to say. ”

"Okay then...... I'll give him a letter of appointment when I get back. Has the fairy chosen a place to retreat?"

"Master Zhao Dalian vacated the North Dao Hall and let me retreat there, and the main palace has seen it and is very satisfied. Okay, the palace has entered the back mountain, there will be a few years of not seeing, the little Taoist priest don't miss the palace too much. ”

The retreat of the Toad Palace Fairy made Zhao Ran suddenly miss Bai He very much, but after talking with Qingjun, he also understood the cultivation path of the spirit demons more deeply. Bai Shanjun is in retreat with the Longyang Patriarch at the moment, the retreat years of the spirit demon are even longer, and after leaving the customs, there is also a period of chaos, which is not something that Zhao Ran can see if he wants to.

In March, the whole Song Fan began to be busy with the matter of spring ploughing, since the snowfall on the first day, there was a heavy snowfall in the second half of the first month, and on the fifth day of the first month of March, the first spring rain began to fall, announcing that the drought in northwest Sichuan that lasted last year was completely in the past, indicating that the 28th year of Jiajing will be a year of wind and rain.

Zhao Ran stepped out of the gate of the Tianhe Palace, strolled through the streets of Songzhou City, looked at the strings of dripping rain curtains in the eaves of the streets, looked at the paper umbrellas scattered in the alleys, and listened to the footsteps of pedestrians stepping in the water when they hurried, and his heart was quiet and comfortable.

The butcher and the rich man Shen had already rented the house in Hongyuan County, and as Zhao Ran moved to Songzhou City, they continued to rent two adjacent shops and opened their butcher shop and restaurant.

When Zhao Ran passed by, he was invited in by these two old men, sitting around the bonfire by the stove, chatting and drinking at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them looked a little worried, Zhao Ran was very concerned: "Why are the two brothers worried?"

The butcher sighed and said: "Naturally, the old man is forty-six this year, and Brother Shen is also forty-nine, the two of us, we will know the destiny of heaven in a blink of an eye, to tell a joke, even Jin Dan can't see it, where do you know what the destiny is." ”

Zhao Ran could only comfort: "This is something that cannot be rushed......

The rich man Shen stuffed a chicken leg to Zhao Ran and said, "No one is in a hurry." We two old guys have known you in Jiajing for 16 years, I am summer, Yide is winter, and we have known you for 11 years. ”

Zhao Ran is a little inexplicable, do you two have a dime to do with how many years you have known me for breaking through the realm?

I only heard Shen Caizhu continue: "I know you at the same time, one by one, I counted with my fingers, and some broke two realms in a row, including Dongfang Li, Rong Niang, Pei Zhongze, and some broke one realm, such as Dongfang Jing, Pei Zhongxi, Li Tengxin of the capital, Du Xingyan of Zhejiang, Wang Wusen of Longhu Mountain, ......"

The butcher interrupted: "Pei Zhongze is breaking through the three realms in a row, I heard that he and Zhiran just met when they were Yushi, and Dongfang Jing, he is also in retreat, and he is about to break the second realm!"

Then he complained: "By the way, I heard that the long-legged little girl in Qingyun Pavilion is also preparing to break through the retreat, and I still remember when I saw her in Junshan Temple, she had just entered the Yellow Crown, which is really unfair...... It's not that we two brothers don't want others to be good, but this little girl ...... It's too young, so you're ready to hit Jindan?"

Shen Caizhu is still there: "This is not counting the people of your sect holy hall, Louguan from the head of Jiang below, breaking the realm all over again, even the Kun Dao of the Asking Love Sect also broke the realm as casually as gnawing on chicken legs, today Song Yuqiao, tomorrow Zheng Yutong, the day after tomorrow Lin ** Master, and then Cao, Zhuang ......"

Zhao Ran hurriedly stopped: "Two brothers, stop, what do you want to say?"

The two looked at Zhao Ran and said in unison: "We just want to know, we are all people who have been with you for ten years, why is it so easy for others to break through the realm, but it is so difficult for us brothers?"

"Two brothers, is there an inevitable connection here?"

"Naturally, it's not that you say you have it, you don't have it if you say you don't, this is a fact that our brothers and sons have realized in the past two years!"

"It's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. ”

"So, whether it's a coincidence or not, our brothers have never seen such a batch of broken realms in other places, this is not normal!"

"Two brothers, this is really a coincidence, it can't be ......true" Zhao Ran didn't know how to explain, so he had to ask: "Then what are your plans?"

The butcher said: "Even if it's a coincidence, our old brother and I admit it! We have been wondering if the relationship with you is still estranged......

Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Don't be joking, we are a lifelong friendship!"

The butcher and the rich man Shen ignored him, and continued: "So we think that we should deepen the relationship with Zhiran, and ask Zhiran to admit our two old buddies into the sect of the Holy Pavilion, it doesn't matter who we worship as teachers, as long as we belong to the same door as Zhiran, even if we call you uncle in the future, we will admit it!"

Zhao Ran looked at the two of them dumbfounded, a little at a loss for a while.
