Zhao Ran's original plan was to let the pen pals in these provinces who wanted to apply for the establishment of issuance points compete, and whoever declared the most issuance would hand over the issuance of a province to him. However, considering that the agency distribution of "Junshan Notes" is a start-up, in order not to hurt the enthusiasm of pen pals, this idea was dispelled.

The original plan for the agency law system was to start in January next year, but since the enthusiasm of the pen pals was very high, Zhao Ran simply suggested that it should be implemented from this month.

With a small change, the consumption of high-level flying talismans plummeted from more than 70 last month to 13, the issuance cost dropped from more than 1,400 taels per month to 260 taels, and the circulation skyrocketed from more than 70 last month to more than 300 copies.

The cost of distribution has been reduced, but as a mature journal, material fees, editing fees, manuscript fees, etc., also need to be considered.

The material fee is easy to handle, and Zhao Ran has the financial resources to continue to subsidize it, but the manuscript fee and editing fee are all dependent on the selfless payment of pen pals at present, and it will not always be like this in the future.

These are all afterthoughts, and there is no rush for the time being. Since it was said that November's "Junshan Notes", Zhao Ran hurriedly took out the "Jindan Chapter" written by Lu Xixing and handed it to Yu Zhichuan: "Senior brother, this is Senior Brother Lu's masterpiece in Helin Pavilion, I read it, it is very well written, and it has a lot of reference value for fellow cultivators, I suggest putting it at the beginning of this month." ”

Yu Zhichuan took it and said, "No problem, just read it." This month, there are nineteen texts collected by pen pals from all over the place, and Moon Shadow is sorting them out, and this one is exactly twenty. ”

Moon Shadow said: "It's almost sorted out and edited, and it will be completed in two days." However, 330 copies of the manuscript needed to be transcribed this month, and the manpower was rather cramped. ”

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "You can recruit in the Sichuan Provincial Scattered Cultivation, do you know the scattered people of Yangcao Mountain...... It's good to know, there are a lot of casual cultivators over there who are studying all year round, you can go and recruit a few people, and if you are willing to come, you can enjoy the treatment of cultivating in the Dajun Cave Heaven, and there must be many people who are willing to come. You and the fairy of Toad Palace will review the candidates together, the first thing is moral character, you must choose carefully, and finally report to Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Wei. ”

"Got it!" Moon Shadow was quite excited, "It's really happy to watch our notes grow step by step!"

Yu Zhichuan remembered something: "Senior brother, Yang Zhiwen is drawing illustrations for this month's notes, he is very interested in this, I want to invite him to stay in Dajun Mountain for a long time and help me draw illustrations, do you think it's okay? He can live in my small courtyard, and he doesn't need to find another place to stay." ”

Of course, Zhao Ran likes to hear this: "As long as his family Taifushan agrees, the senior brother will give him a waist card to enter and exit the cave." ”

Yu Zhichuan said, asked Yueying to take the manuscript of this month's "Junshan Notes" that was being proofread and edited, and pulled out a few of them: "Senior brother, look, the painting is vivid and interesting!"

Several inset drawings drawn by Yang Zhiwen are all white drawings, including landscapes, characters, and scenes, all of which are obtained according to the text descriptions in the notes, which look simple and simple, but very charming, and add his own imagination and exaggeration, this is not the level of a painter, it has reached the level of a master!

Seeing that, Zhao Ran couldn't help but indulge in it for a while, and couldn't pull it out.

Zhao Ran looked at it, Yu Zhichuan and Yue Ying explained on the side: "Senior brother, this is the Xixia Palace in Xingqing Mansion, and it is painted according to Bai Geng's essay......

Zhao Ran nodded: "It's roughly like this, there are not many discrepancies, a few places...... Well, you might as well ......."

Yu Zhichuan said: "Yang Zhiwen has never been to Xingqing, it is rare to be able to paint like this, right?"

Zhao Ran praised: "That's really not easy, this is called having its own splendid belly! Such a talent is exactly what is used in "Junshan Notes", and the senior brother must find a way to let him stay for a long time. ”

Yu Zhichuan turned to the next page: "Senior brother, look at this insert, the drawing is very wonderful and realistic......"

Zhao Ran looked carefully, painting a scene in a rainy night, a young female cultivator with a golden umbrella on her head, and the sword in her hand passed through the chest of an old man, who was holding a coiled dragon iron rod, his eyes were wide open, his beard was open, as if he was roaring in the sky, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword that pierced his back. A few feet in the air, a fire dragon was circling and flying, and there were five corpses lying on the ground......

Zhao Ran was very interested, and hurriedly asked, "Which text is this, find and show me the illustration of this text?" ”

"This is a chronicle sent by Pansi Daxian in Shangluo Mountain, Shaanxi......"

"Chronicle, not a legend or a script?"

Spirit Wolf Moon Shadow handed over the manuscript, Zhao Ran quickly read it, the article is not long, it is about the author - Pansi Daxian himself, on the way back to the cave on the night of October 20, when passing through the horse foal village, he saw a female cultivator fighting with people and killing all six of the other party.

Pansi Daxian was thrilled to see, and after returning to the cave, he recorded what he saw and heard, so he had this text.

Zhao Ran frowned and said, "So, this is the real thing, who is this Pansi Great Immortal?"

Spirit Wolf Moon Shadow said: "Pansi is a Taoist friend I know, and he is also a Lingjun, who has practiced for two hundred and eighty years and attained the Tao as a spider. She usually likes to dance and ink, in July this year to visit me in Dajun Mountain, and then at the end of each month to come over, take a copy of "Junshan Notes" back, if there is a proud work, will also be sent by the way, so far has been in the "Junshan Notes" sent two texts, this is the third. ”

"It turns out that she is also a Spirit Monarch, Moon Shadow, have you asked her if it is true? Can you be sure that it is a story that she made up?"

"She came the day before yesterday, and I asked her, and she swore that it was true, and after discussing it with Senior Brother Yu, I felt that this text should attract many people to read, so I was going to put it at the beginning. However, since Zhao Xingxing has designated Master Lu's article to be at the top of the list, then this one can also be placed in second place. ”

Zhao Ran pondered, and looked back at the article again, comparing the illustrations drawn by Yang Zhiwen while reading, and always felt that the female cultivator on the picture seemed to be somewhat familiar.

"Did this Pansi Great Immortal go back afterwards to check the origin of the person who was killed, and are there any clues?"

She didn't go back, but she said that she seemed to have heard the old man call the nun 'surnamed Lin', but it was raining heavily and it was far away, and she wasn't quite sure whether the old man was talking about 'surnamed Lin' or 'surnamed Ning', she couldn't be sure, so it was not written in the text. ”

Zhao Ran was suddenly surprised, and then looked at the golden umbrella on the head of the hanging female cultivator, as well as the fire dragon flying in the air, and couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid it's surnamed Ning ......."
