Throughout April, Zhao Ran was in retreat and cultivation wholeheartedly, and with the continuous cultivation of merit power, the mana transformed into it also accumulated more and more, and the mana in the qi sea gradually became thicker, which helped him more and more in his practice of drawing talismans and making instruments, and the process of constantly drawing talismans and making utensils was also a process of condensing mana, and the three formed a good interactive cycle.

Compared with the cultivation of the righteous path of Taoism, the disadvantage of Zhao Ran's "Innate Merit Sutra" is that it needs to do a lot of trivial affairs to accumulate merit, unlike other exercises, such as "Shangqing Jue", which can directly swallow Naqi from the aura of heaven and earth, and always feel more of the taste of red dust and worldliness, and a little less immortal spirit.

But the benefits are also obvious, as long as the cultivation of merit can be long-term, if the most time-consuming part of the practice is saved out of thin air, I don't know how much faster.

What Zhao Ran himself has not realized is that because of the establishment of several relief stations, coupled with the completion of a series of handicrafts such as repairing dilapidated houses for poor households in Guyang County and going door-to-door to "send warmth" during the New Year's Festival, his name has been completely launched in the entire county. The common people all said that there was a Zhao Xiao Immortal in Wuji Courtyard, and it was sent down to the heavenly realm by the Sanqing Dao Venerable to save the suffering.

But things in the world can't be as good as they should be, just when Zhao Ran didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, he suddenly found that since this morning, the merit power cultivated in his qi sea has been greatly reduced, and he was originally able to steadily cultivate more than 30 strands of merit power every day, but now he thought it was afternoon, but he only cultivated more than 10 strands. This situation was very abnormal, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the relief station he had set up, and he was almost certain that the problem was with the charity hall.

After waiting for more than an hour, Zhao Ran saw that the increase in merit and virtue showed no signs of improvement, so he couldn't bear it anymore and planned to go down the mountain to take a look.

led his old donkey, Zhao Ran beat the donkey down the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain, he met the doctor he arranged to sit in Wuji Courtyard. The doctor's surname is Quan, a doctor hired by Zhao Ran from the Huichun Hall in Guyang County, and he is in a hurry at the moment, Zhao Ran rode on the old donkey and saw that the doctor was in a hurry and his hair was scattered.

Zhao Ran stopped Dr. Quan, and when Dr. Quan saw that it was Zhao Ran, he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhao Fang, go to the Charity Hall, there is an accident in the Charity Hall!"

Zhao Ran was busy asking what was going on, but it turned out that somehow, a group of officials came this morning and went directly to the hall to get people. In addition to taking people, the operation of the charity hall has been temporarily suspended, and the poor families who are receiving relief in the church are being interrogated one by one.

"How can this be? Who is the leader of the team?" Zhao Ran only felt incredible, he had obtained the written consent of Kong Xianzun to open the charity hall, not to mention that the county lieutenant Jin was still "his own person", how could he do such a thing?

Doctor Quan said with a bitter face: "I don't know that class of officials, and it doesn't look like the third class of the county......"

"It's not from the county, where is it?"

"I didn't know this, the head of the team was very arrogant, and he didn't show the official documents, and Steward Li argued with them and was beaten by the head of the team. "Steward Li is the only old boy in Lijia Village, which is close to Wuji Mountain, because Zhao Ran often goes to Lijia Village to do good, so he is familiar with this old boy. When this old boy heard that Zhao Ran was going to set up a charity hall, he immediately expressed his willingness to help, so Zhao Ran hired him to be the steward.

"Who are they coming to take? Could it be that there are bandits and treacherous people mixed in our good hall? Didn't I instruct you to register your origin before putting it into the charity hall, and those who are not clear are only allowed to give porridge outside the hall, not to put it in the hall!"

"Master Fang, it seems that those officials are not arresting bandits and treacherous evils, but searching for debts owed by several other counties. ”

Zhao Ran was stunned, pondered for a moment and didn't think it through, and simply said: "I'll rush over now to take a look, you go up the mountain first, report the name of the poor Dao and find someone, one is the Taoist priest Jin Jiu of the Jingtang, and the other is the second of the Fangtang Huoju Guan, let them come to the Charity Hall to meet quickly." ”

The old donkey walked forward, and the pine forest was not far from Wuji Mountain, and it didn't take long to carry Zhao Ran to the charity hall. As far as I could see, I saw that there was a depression outside the charity hall, all the shops were closed, and hundreds of people looked inside the gate from afar, both hawkers and passers-by, all pointing and discussing.

Seeing Zhao Ran coming, the hawkers immediately rushed up.

"Lord Zhao Fang, how can you be good, this business can't be done?"

"Daochang Zhao, are you going to seal the shop? We are law-abiding and good people, and the officials have nothing to do with us!"

"The villain just paid three dollars the day before yesterday to rent the silver ......"

"Before the villain had not settled the bill for the tea cakes sold in the morning, the customer was scared away, and he lost at least fifty yuan......"

Zhao Ran separated the crowd and said as he walked: "Everyone's relieved, the poor road has its own measures, let one go, let one let ......."

When I arrived at the door, I saw two officials standing on both sides with water and fire sticks, Zhao Ran entered first, but was blocked by the officials: "This Taoist chief is handling a case inside, and please don't enter." ”

Zhao Ran snorted: "The poor road is Zhao Zhiran, the master of the Fangtang of the Wuji Courtyard, this good hall was created by the poor road, do you say that I can't get in?"

The large tent in the south wall was full of people, mostly old and weak, women and children, most of them in ragged clothes, obviously the poor people accepted in the good hall; more than a dozen people were tied up outside the public house in the middle of the good hall, guarded by the officials, and all knelt on the ground, including the steward Li who he had invited.

Several officials stood in the middle of the Xuanchang with a team leader, and loudly scolded the people under the shed: "...... Don't hide any more, you must know that it is natural and righteous to repay debts! If any of you have escaped debts and hid here, stand up quickly, and then you will surrender, otherwise I will find out, and you will have to suffer some hardships! Don't think that there are people sheltered here, and you can escape the king's law......"

The two guards rushed to the head of the squad at this moment and said, "Liu Tou, that Zhao Zhiran is here." ”

Liu Bantou glanced at Zhao Ran who came over, ignored it, and then reprimanded the people under the shed: "...... As long as you violate the king's law, no one can shelter you! You gang of Diao people, don't be confused, otherwise you will be severely punished! Okay, now take ten people as a first-class person, report to each other, and you must not conceal it; if you don't report it and are found out, the first-class people will sit together!"

"Slow!" Zhao Ran stepped forward and endured his anger and bowed to Liu Bantou: "Zhao Zhiran, the head of the Fang Hall of the Poor Dao Wuji Academy, I heard that Your Excellency's surname is Liu? ”

Liu Bantou glanced at Zhao Ran with slanted eyes, and arched his hand very casually: "It turned out to be Daoist Zhao, and Liu Mou has seen Daochang." I heard that the chief is the master of this good hall, and it is just right that Liu came to your hall to get people on the order of my master, and the Taoist chief waited on the side, and when Liu finished his errand, he talked to the Taoist chief. ”

"I don't know who your master is?"

"My lord is the new Pingwu County Zhengtang, surnamed Dong Yanqiu. ”

It turned out to be the official of Pingwu County, Zhao Ran was a little inexplicable, at this time, the local concept of the local is extremely heavy, and the counties have always only been in charge of the affairs under their own jurisdiction, if it is not a serious case, it is generally not likely to be handled in series. The officials of Pingwu County ran to Guyang County to get people, but there was no Guyang County officials around him to help him - Zhao Ran glanced around again, and indeed did not find the officials of Guyang County, it was really a strange news, could it be that the new Pingwu County made Dong Qiu not know the rules?

Zhao Ran asked: "I don't know what kind of case Liu Bantou handled? Can there be an official document issued by Dong Xianzun?

Liu Bantou glanced at Zhao Ran, and said coldly: "The case in the yamen is handled by its own officials, is there too much to do with Daoist Zhao?"

"This charity hall was created by Poor Dao, Liu Bantou broke in rashly, the case was not explained, and the official document was not issued, so he detained the steward in the hall and arrested many people, why can't Poor Dao ask?"

Liu Bantou pointed to Steward Li, who was tied to the ground, and said: "This is your housekeeper? I really don't know the height of the sky, and the official errand dares to block the case, Liu will take him back to Pingwu County and let him know what the royal law is! As for these Diao people, if Daochang Zhao blindly protects him again, he will have to be suspected of shielding the criminals, and advise the Taoist chief to say that it is best to watch Liu handle the case by the side, and don't make trouble for himself, if not, Daochang Zhao can't afford this crime either!"

Zhao Ran was furious, since he entered Wuji Courtyard and became a Taoist priest, he has been respected by others, where has he been so openly humiliated? What is the status of Daomen in Daming? What is the identity of a Taoist priest in the local area? Not to mention that he is still one of the eight deacons of Wuji Academy, and this little official team leader dares to be so rude!
