Zhao Ran only slept for more than an hour this night, and was pulled by Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai to go to the dining hall for dinner, and he was dizzy and had breakfast, and he didn't remember being bullied several times by the fire workers who cleaned the house of the second brother Guan and his group, and then went back to the West House to sleep with his head covered.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ran, who finally came back to his senses, had just wiped his face with water, but was approached by Yu Zhiyuan from the guest hall and dragged to his room to write a letter.

Taking advantage of the time when Yu Zhiyuan unfolded the text panel and pondered carefully, Zhao Ran listened and inquired about Yu Zhiyuan's experience of entering the Daomen. Yu Zhiyuan has been in Wuji Courtyard for thirteen years, and like Zhao Ran, he was also in the squatter room when he first came in, and after more than eight months of cleaning, he went to sprinkle and clean, and successively did the work of cooking and burning fires. In the sixth year, that is, four years ago, the old head of the guest hall of Wuji Courtyard passed away, and there was an additional position, and Yu Zhiyuan ushered in the most important opportunity in his life so far.

At that time, Xizhenwu Palace agreed that Wuji Yuan would be deployed from within the courtyard, so a certain chanting Taoist child in the scripture hall was honored to be transferred to the head of the guest hall, and the resulting shortage of chanting Taoist children was replaced by Zhiyuan. Since then, Yu Zhiyuan has become one of the official Taoists with a degree, and his identity is the same as before.

Another year later, the chanting Taoist boy who was transferred to the door of the guest hall (Yu Zhiyuan did not remember the name of the Taoist child) died in an accident, and Yu Zhiyuan defeated more than a dozen classmates with more seniority than himself and occupied the position at the head of the guest hall.

The door of the guest hall is one of the "five lords and eighteen heads" of the Taoist Academy, and it is a Taoist priest with a function, which is under the jurisdiction of the eight deacons and is in the service of welcoming guests. This job is not only glamorous, but also rich in oil and water, and can be regarded as a first-class and generous position among the "five masters and eighteen heads". Zhao Ran's current boss, Zhou Zhixiu, the head of the team, is on the same level as Yu Zhiyuan, but he is not half a star in all aspects.

Zhao Ran wanted to find out more about how Yu Zhiyuan became a Taoist priest and how he stood out among many competitors, and then became the secret of the door, but Yu Zhiyuan was vague, just smiled and encouraged Zhao Ran to work harder.

Although Yu Zhiyuan did not instruct Zhao Ran on the trick of promotion, he was still very concerned about Zhao Ran's daily life. He already knew that Zhao Ran's family was poor at this time, so he personally took Zhao Ran to the treasury to ask for another set of clothes for Zhao Ran.

Liu Kutou, who was in charge of the treasury, was still pushing pai gow with a group of Taoist priests, and when he saw Yu Zhiyuan coming, he immediately got up, his face full of eager laughter: "How can Senior Brother Yu have time to come here today?"

At this time, another fat Taoist priest in the seat also straightened up and greeted Yu Zhiyuan: "Senior Brother Yu, what kind of wind blew you here?"

Yu Zhiyuan smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Guo, I am not good at this, and you also know it." There is a lot of disturbance today......" pointed at Zhao Ran: "This is Zhao Ran who is newly admitted to the hospital, he was admitted to the hospital in a hurry, and he brought fewer clothes. ”

Liu Kutou immediately responded: "Is there anyone else here, can Senior Brother Yu come here? There is no reason for this!" After that, he ordered a fireworker next to him to enter the warehouse and take a set of clothes out, stuff them into Zhao Ran's arms, and said with concern: "Brother Zhao, if you need anything in the future, just come to me, where do you need to work again Senior Brother Yu will come over in person." What do you see but clothes?"

Zhao Ran thought about it, since he followed Yu Zhiyuan over, he owed a favor, so he was not polite: "Liu Kutou, if you can give another two feet of Mage, the kid is grateful!"

Liu Kutou said that this was easy, and asked the fireworker to take out two feet of Ma Ge and give it to Zhao Ran.

After a few jokes, Yu Zhiyuan took Zhao Ran and left the warehouse, and Liu Ku and others sent them off diligently, as if Yu Zhiyuan was a senior brother.

When he turned around, Zhao Ran was a little curious: "At the door, can't we close the gambling scene in the Taoist courtyard?"

Yu Zhiyuan said: "In the Daomen Palace and Temple, there are also precepts, but only the scriptures are limited a little stricter, and the various functions are not much to manage, otherwise the mountain gate is bitter, how can these many people keep it? If this precept is also precepted, how can the Daomen be maintained? Of course, the Quanzhen faction is much stricter in holding the law, but if you go to the Quanzhen Dao to watch and see, you will know that it is far less prosperous than our Zhengyi Taoist temple. ”

Zhao Ran knew it for the first time, but it turned out that he had entered a Zhengyi Taoist temple, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Yu Zhiyuan also pointed out wholeheartedly: "Our Zhengyi faction is the Fu Gong Taoist school, which pays attention to harmonizing nature, using the gas of heaven and earth to transform the form of the talisman and the body, the unity of man and heaven, and the knot of the Dan on the outside and the birth of the Dan; Whether it is Fu Gong or Dan Ying, they are all cultivation methods, and the fundamental pursuit of the Heavenly Dao is common. ”

Listening to Yu Zhiyuan's introduction, Zhao Ran remembered Chu Yangcheng's words to himself that day, "Neidan can soar, talisman can also soar, cultivation is all in one's own efforts, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior exercises", nodded half-knowingly, but in fact, he had no clue in his heart.

Seeing the blankness on Zhao Ran's face, Yu Zhiyuan smiled: "I have no reason to tell you what to do, it is all the truth learned by monks, and it has nothing to do with our Ten Directions Jungle." In the future, even if you can get the degree, it will only be a rule of etiquette. We are all ordinary people, and we don't have the life to cultivate......" said with a gloomy face.

After a while, Yu Zhiyuan said again: "Regarding Zhengyi and Quanzhen, you just need to know that the ancestor of our Zhengyi is Zhang Tianshi, and Quanzhen is Chongyang Zhenren, so it is enough." ”

On the occasion of parting, Yu Zhiyuan told Zhao Ran: "Although there are Taoist games in the courtyard, you must not indulge in them." There are so many doorways here, and as far as you can see, there are a lot of tricks in them. There are some things that should not be said, but I really don't want you to fall into them. Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Guo, in the name of inviting gambling, practice the reality of accumulation, but they only rely on fast hands, which is unknown to ordinary people. ”

Zhao Ran smiled: "I'm not good at this, don't worry." It's just that the two of them act like this, and the courtyard doesn't care?"

Yu Zhiyuan said: "Among our Taoist gates, the precepts of the palace are a little stricter, and the Taoist courtyard is much looser, these are all side matters, and no one pays attention to them." Liu Kutou and Guo Caitou's age, if they want to go one step further, they will have to go out of the mountains and return to their hometowns in a few years, so they will open up a wide range of financial roads, this is to earn a rich family's capital, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can let him go. ”

Zhao Ran suddenly said: "I understand, our Taoist Academy is down-to-earth, in fact, it is no different from the government." ”

Yu Zhiyuan smiled: "Down-to-earth? This statement is interesting, yes, that's right, it's good if you understand." ”

When I returned to the West House, I saw Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai depressed, and asked a little, but it was Guan Erge who opened a gambling game in the afternoon, and Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai each exported several pieces of money.

Zhao Ranwaner, it seems that this style of gaming is quite popular in Wuji Courtyard, so he comforted the two: "Gambling and opera, there are wins and losses, if you lose today, you will turn the book tomorrow, just don't play too big." ”

Jiao Tan said indignantly: "Losing some money is nothing, I just can't get used to Guan Er's face!"

At dinner, Guan Erge Xu was in a good mood because he won the money, and he didn't embarrass Zhao Ran, but he greeted everyone at the dinner table, saying that he would continue to sit in the village after the meal and let everyone play together. Zhao Ran has no floating wealth, of course, he is not sensitive.

Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai followed them to the north house and vowed to turn Ben back, while Zhao Ran returned to the room to try on the newly collared Taoist clothes. Now that he has two sets of Taoist clothes from the warehouse, he has made up his mind that he will usually wear Taoist clothes in the future, and he will wear his own set of torn clothes and pants when he goes to work.

took off his tattered robe and went to untie the trouser rope again, Zhao Ran only remembered at this time that this trouser rope was taken off from the dead ghost righteous son of the town guard eunuch in Qingping Mountain that day, and he still hasn't bothered to check what kind of treasure it is.

Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai were both playing money in the North House, and the shouting and cheering spread throughout the courtyard, and there was no time to turn around for the time being, Zhao Ran tied the door of the West House, and then untied the trouser rope.

There was a hidden button at one end of the trouser rope, and after untying it, Zhao Ran pulled out an emerald green thin rope inside. The color of the cord is dull, neither gold nor silver, not even any kind of metal that Zhao Ran has ever seen. But it is not jade, and no jade is as flexible and elastic as this cord. If you want to say that it is cow tendon or snake tendon, it is not like it, because when you pinch one section alone, it obviously feels very hard.

Zhao Ran played with it for a while, but he couldn't understand the essentials, and was slightly disappointed, so he rolled the thin rope in his hand and wanted to stuff it back into the trouser rope. But he didn't want to keep the strength of his hand steady, and the elastic cord collapsed, cutting an extremely thin wound on Zhao Ran's sideways cheek.

A faint trace of blood appeared on Zhao Ran's cheek.
