Chapter Twenty-Five: The Young Man of Louguan
The two children were the children of the same generation as Zhao Ran in Zhao Zhuang back then, and the two had nothing to do with Zhao Ran, when Zhao Ran was in an embarrassing situation, people didn't plan to take care of him, and after Zhao Ran developed, people couldn't climb high, and in a blink of an eye, everyone had children, but Zhao Ran felt that he still hadn't grown up.
However, the surname is always Zhao, and it is the same surname of a village, as long as it is about three generations, no matter what, it can be a relative, and it is a direct line. In a society like Daming, blood and clan relations are natural bonds, so the two children have a natural sense of affinity for Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran encouraged himself, told a lot of nonsense to show his concern, and then took his cousin Zhao Hao away. Such an older child grew up in a simple rural area, and his character is not bad, even if there is something unbearable, it is easy to screw it over without qualitative character. Therefore, Zhao Ran simply checked the child's bones and handed them over to the senior brother Wei Zhizhen.
Wei Zhizhen was a little surprised, and was a little uncomfortable with the little junior brother's sudden conscientiousness: "Senior brother, you still have to rest when you should rest, don't care too much about emotional things, and want to alleviate your troubles through busy operations, after all, it is only temporary, the real way to liberation lies in thinking through, thinking through, and knowing how to let go of ......."
Zhao Ran has been used to it these days, and said, "I know senior brother, what do you think this kid should do?"
Wei Zhizhen said: "It doesn't matter, when the Zhenggu Pill was distributed back then, in order to reward the contribution of Sichuan Province in compiling the "Huayun Zhenggu Sutra", the Jade Emperor Pavilion was given ten Zhenggu Dan every year, and Huayunguan also had five. The Jade Emperor Pavilion has to take into account the whole province, and the ten grains are slightly nervous, but the five grains of Huayun Guan are not available, when we moved over, the teacher once said to Elder Xiahou and Elder Yan that they would give us one grain from Huayun Pavilion every year, you and the teacher are the main authors, and Huayun Pavilion is still reasonable. In a few days, I will take the time to come over and ask for this year's Zhenggu Dan. ”
Zhao Ran was overjoyed: "That's great, one pill a year, it's enough!"
Wei Zhizhen said again: "This kid's bones are still too young now, and he can't stand it, let him do chores with Omniscient for two years, and by the way, read more Taoist scriptures, and then straighten his bones after he reaches fifteen, then it will be much more stable." ”
So Zhao Hao was handed over to the all-knowing, and he also helped take care of the affairs of the mountains while reading the scriptures every day, he was born in the countryside, and he was not afraid of hardship, but he needed to practice two years later, and he could only look at Zhao Yulei from the same village with envy to start practicing now. No way, who told him that he had no roots?
Now there are three disciples of the third generation of Louguan, one is the senior brother Qu Fenghe, Yu Shijing, and the second Feng Tang, who has just started a few days, and one has not even started, it will take two years to get the root and bones to talk about it, but no matter what, the three generations of disciples have gradually had a weather after all, and Zhao Ran felt very happy when he thought about it.
He suddenly remembered that in November last year, Qu Fenghe had recommended a disciple of the Qu family, saying that he had been seen by a monk before, and he was a qualified and rootless person. At that time, Zhao Ran replied that he would wait and let him participate in the Spring Festival, now that the statue of the god in the Zongsheng Hall has been erected, and the resources of the orthopaedic bones are also initially available, it can be considered.
Qu Fenghe came to him and asked, "Is that brother of your family called Qu Fengshan? How is this year's spring?
Qu Fenghe hurriedly said: "If you win, you will be ranked seventh in the second grade." Uncle Junior, are you going to consider introducing him to the mountain gate to practice?"
Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "If I remember correctly, he is two years younger than you? Not even twenty, right? This is the seventh place in the second class of high school?
Qu Fenghe said: "He was not satisfied, saying that he was going to come out of the first class, so he did not choose Shu Jishi." My cousin was very displeased and didn't want to care about him, but now he has returned to his home in Guyang County, planning to prepare for the next subject. If Uncle Xiao is interested, I will let him come here?"
Zhao Ran said: "Forget it, I'll find time to pass, let him come to Songfan, and don't toss back and forth for half a month?"
"Okay, then I'll write a letter back and let the adults prepare. ”
Seeing the evening, Zhao Ran hurriedly slipped out of the mountain gate, rode back to the White Horse Courtyard on the Nangui Daoist, and with a light tiptoe, he turned into the abbot's courtyard in a few moves.
As the sun set in the west, the abbot's courtyard gradually fell dark, and Zhao Ran had just lit the oil lamp in the main room, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard, "knock knock", "knock knock", "knock knock......
Zhao Ran suddenly felt unhappy, and at the same time a little strange, with his own cultivation, who in this White Horse Courtyard is so capable that he can see through his own hiding?
I went out angrily and opened the door, but it was Yuan Hao from the prison, Zhao Ran had to invite him in and asked, "I just entered the door, I didn't want to disturb you, but I didn't expect the prison to know, hehe......"
Yuan Hao pointed to the top floor of the bell tower outside the courtyard wall: "As soon as I saw Lingjun, I knew that the abbot was back, hehe." ”
Zhao Ran was speechless and looked at the spirit goose on the bell tower lazily bending his neck and combing his wings, shook his head, and entered the study with Yuan Hao: "There is an urgent matter in the prison?"
"Seeing that it is almost the end of the year, what are the abbot's plans for the construction of the southern route?
The progress of the southern route, due to the deliberate suppression of the Hakuba Temple, began in June, and only half of the construction has been completed so far. The White Horse Academy needs this road to "embody" the friendship with the people of the three tribes, so it can't be too hasty, and when it will be completed depends on Abbot Zhao's mood.
"In addition to the people from the Xiaohe Tribe, how many people from the Longbai Department and the Chama Department have come down to the mountain to receive our wages now?"
"Of the more than 1,200 people on the construction site every day, there are about 100 people in the Longbai Department and a little more in the Chama Department, about 200 people. ”
"It's not a lot. ”
"That's to be expected. Since the Xiaohe tribe was incorporated into the rule of the White Horse Temple, the two tribes were very vigilant, and the two Tusi were not allowed to let people go down the mountain. The reason why we can come so much is because we have increased the commission to the two heads to 20 wen per person per day, and some small heads quietly let them go, but these young people who put down the mountain, and their families are very closely watched. ”
"The Danmu Great Toast of the Dragon White Department and the Wanqiu Great Toast of the Chama Department are really going to resist stubbornly......"
"What the abbot said is, but this kind of thing is not something they can stop if they want to, with the restructuring of the Xiaohe Department, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly, this is the general trend. Although these two departments are strictly guarded, there are still people who go down the mountain to the White Horse Courtyard every three or five times, and there are more than 40 households in total. As long as the southern line is constructed for one day, the disintegration of the two parts will last for one day, and the time is on our side. ”
Zhao Ran nodded: "Yes, if it is consumed like this, sooner or later there will be an avalanche of the two parts, but it will only be two or three years." ”
Yuan Hao said: "But I heard that Yue Tengzhong of the Flying Dragon Courtyard of the Song Domain and Zeng of the Spirit Snake Courtyard of Yongzhen gave them a salute, and it seems that they have made a move. ”
