Heading south from Taihua Mountain, Zhao Ran was not in a hurry, he stopped to rest after a journey, and urged Song Xiong to cultivate the Shangqing Jue by the way. Zhao Ran has a natural temperament, and he is very involved in everything, and he is still teaching his disciples the exercises.

It is said that the master leads the door and the cultivation is personal, Zhao Ran did not pull down Song Xiong when he entered the door, but dragged him all the way forward.

However, good qualifications and poor qualifications are really completely different, like a chasm across the path of cultivation, Song Xiong wants to cross this chasm, it is really difficult.

If it was someone else, such as Zhumeng, who was a teacher and gave a few words of advice, he could practice without meeting for ten days and half a month.

The most extreme example is Zhao Ran himself, after he was disqualified by Lu Suo, he didn't even need a teacher, so he practiced according to the original text of the "Book of Merit", and naturally stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and it was easy to practice.

If you want to compare...... Zhao Ran can't think of who should be compared with Song Xiong for the time being, even if it is Yu Zhiyuan's qualifications, they are much stronger than Song Xiong, although Yu Zhiyuan's "recklessness" is unbearable, but at least what the teacher teaches can be roughly understood.

It's no wonder that the Daomen calls those who have roots and bones and no qualifications "waste roots", and they are unwilling to accept the introductory cultivation at all, which is really waste wood. If it weren't for Song Xiong's excellent bones, Zhao Ran wouldn't have the intention to give it a try.

After arriving in the capital, Zhao Ran took Song Xiong to Jingshou Palace to place an order, asking Song Xiong to continue to practice the Shangqing Jue Gong in Yunshui Hall, and he handed over the worship post and asked to see Lu Tengen, the prison.

Zhao Ran came to see Lu Tengen and had nothing to do, but it was the meaning of going to the ground to meet the landlord, friendship needs to be maintained, there is a chance to meet more, do your best, and the relationship will become familiar little by little, you have to wait until there is something to come to the door, and then ask for help - I'm sorry who you are, are we very familiar?

After the post was handed in, he originally expected that he might not be able to see the head of the capital the next day, but he never thought that as soon as Zhao Ran returned to Yunshui Hall, the acquaintance of Jingshou Palace followed after him, saying that the Lu Supervision Institute had arranged time to wait for Zhao Ran in the study.

At the level of the palace and the palace, Lu Tengen knew a lot about what happened in the pavilion, so when he saw Zhao Ran, he smiled and said: "You, the Taoist of Huayun Pavilion, why don't you sit in Long'an Mansion, and you actually have time to run my one-third of an acre of land?"

Zhao Ran's face was full of helplessness: "The Lu Prison Yuan made fun of me, but I am not only a Taoist walker, but also the abbot of the Wuji Courtyard, since I have come to the capital, how can I not come to the door to visit the prison?"

After a few pleasantries, Lu Tengen asked Zhao Ran about the reason, and Zhao Ran explained: "Last year, when Ye Xueguan was in the big meeting, I had a very happy conversation with Lan Miao Zhu in Shuihe Village, Lizhou, and I made an appointment to go to him to have a look and exchange preaching experiences with each other. But after returning to Guyang County, he never found time, and a delay was a year. A while ago, Lan Miaozhu sent another letter, so I asked the teacher for leave and went to see him. ”

Let's give a greeting gift.

Lu Tengen accepted it with a smile and sighed: "When I was in Ye Xueguan at that time, I also said that when you were thirty years old, I would give you a county to preside over the sermon, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Bai to have so much courage, and when he turned his head, he directly promoted you to the abbot of Wuji Academy, and I am ashamed to say it, Senior Brother Bai's mind, I am not as good as it." ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly said: "Actually, the situation is also special, after Dong Zhikun's case, the entire Wuji Courtyard was empty, and I am also chasing ducks to the shelves, which makes you laugh." ”

Lu Tengen nodded and said: "Dong Zhikun's case is a rare major case in the entire Sichuan Province in recent years, and it is really shocking...... By the way, you said that Jing Zhimo was transferred to Lushan, is it related to this case?"

Zhao Ran definitely hoped that there was a connection, but he had no evidence, and judging from the information he had mastered, Jing Zhimo was not so confused as to throw himself into this big pit, so he could only shake his head regretfully.

Lu Tengen was also quite disappointed when he saw this, and then shook his head.

Zhao Ran suddenly remembered and asked, "Lu Jian Yuan, Jing Zhimo went to Lushan, what is his current position?"

Lu Tengen snorted coldly: "He has been idle in Lushan for three months, and last month he was appointed as the hall master of the general view of the house. ”

After hearing about it, Zhao Ran was unwilling, but helpless. The general view of Lushan is divided into upper and lower views, and the lower view is in charge of the ten directions of the jungle, which is also divided into eight deacon rooms, but these eight deacon rooms can be different from the deacon rooms in the county courtyard such as Wuji Courtyard, and the rights and responsibilities are completely different.

Fortunately, Jingzhimo went to Jiangxi, thousands of miles away, at least there is no need to dangle in front of you, which can be regarded as a comfort.

"When I saw that the prison was busy here, I won't bother much......

"It's all about the Song Domain, and I estimate that your Abbot Bai of Long'an Mansion will also be very busy. ”

"Oh, what's wrong with the Song Domain?"

"The three parts of Hongyuan are a little unstable, but it's not a big deal, the three departments just entered my Daming, and many things can't adapt to it, it's no wonder. Du Tenghui was a little tired of coping, and Xuanyuan looked at the following, so that the surrounding provinces could have more support...... Okay, go back first, I'm done here, I'll pick you up at night!"

That night, Zhao Ran went to the appointment, Lu Tengen personally set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Ran, and introduced the high achievements and acquaintances of Jingshou Palace to him, and the guests and hosts were happy.

From the capital, the journey continued southward, and three days later entered the territory of Lizhou. This place is Ya'an County under the rule of Lizhou, and Shuihe Village is at the westernmost point of Ya'an.

Zhao Ran and Song Xiong went to the Ya'an County Provincial Institute to visit the prison of the Ya'an Tzu Chi Hospital. This prison is also on the land, and his name is Lu Zhiyu.

When Zhao Ran and Lizhou discussed the matter of "pairing up to build a temple together" last year, this Lu Zhiyu Prison was also one of the parties, so he was very familiar with Zhao Ran, but I don't know if he had anything to do with Lu Tengen of the capital, and it was not convenient for Zhao Ran to ask when he was in Ye Xueguan that day.

In fact, the invitation document that Zhao Ran received a few days ago was issued in the name of this Lu Zhiyu Prison Yuan - Zhao Ran has been promoted to the abbot of Guyang County, and only at the level of the Lu Supervision Institute can the document be issued equally.

Lizhou is a poor and remote country, and the credibility value of the entire state is only 100,000 more than that of Guyang County, which is at the same level, which shows how difficult it is here. Holding a Taoist position in this kind of place, the hard work of this Lu Zhiyu Prison can be imagined, he is only in his thirties this year, but he is already full of weather, he looks dark and thin, just like he is in his forties.

"Zhiran, I can look forward to you!" Lu Zhiyu took Zhao Ran's hand extremely enthusiastically, and had no intention of spreading it at all, as if he was afraid that Zhao Ran would turn his head and run away, he grabbed it tightly and dragged it towards the courtyard.

Zhao Ran couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to let him drag him into the gate.
