The paperwork of the White Horse Academy is not too much, nor is it too little, Zhao Ran buried his head in reading it for three days, and probably had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Taoist Academy.

Among them, he looked at the resumes of everyone in the temple very carefully, hoping to learn as much as possible about their backgrounds and experiences, and establish a general impression.

For example, Yuan Hao, the prison court, when this gentleman was in the Zhou Yu curtain, the governor of western Sichuan, was known for his proficiency in warfare, and he was also very decisive, and at the same time very responsible.

Another example is Lei Shan, the capital chef, who has been the master bookkeeper and county clerk, and is quite familiar with people's livelihood and governance.

All talk about Nie Zhishen, it is Zeng Zhili's talk when he was a supervisor in Anyue Taiyi Hospital, Zeng Zhili was transferred to Yongzhen, but he did not follow.

......

In addition to personnel issues, Zhao Ran also pays more attention to Taoist properties. There is basically no property in the White Horse Courtyard, and the Shen Yingbin in the number room has almost nothing to do, which is equivalent to an idler. On the big account reported by the dragon account room, there are only more than 1,000 taels of silver in the entire White Horse Courtyard, which is only enough to maintain the normal operation of the Taoist Academy for two months, which can be described as poor.

Such a poor situation is also because there is no Taoist property, completely counting on the allocation of funds from the peak, and there is no self-hematopoietic function, how can this life be better?

This made Zhao Ran very unhappy! The White Horse Academy is a Taoist academy that integrates the official and the Tao, not only to preach, but also to bear the responsibilities of the government, without money, what to do?

Zhao Ran stayed at home, and looked at various documents and files in the abbot's house of the White Horse Courtyard, and it was a full seven days at a glance.

On the seventh day after Zhao Ran took office as the abbot of the White Horse Academy, he received a note from his second senior brother Yu Zhichuan, which was very long, detailing what Lou Guan had seen and heard on his trip to Helin Pavilion in Fujian.

As the helmsman of the Ziyang Sect of the Inner Dannan Sect, and the real person sitting in the hall of the Zongguan True Master Hall, Xu Zhenren's 100th birthday was very lively.

Xu Zhenren originally planned to have a very low-key birthday, and the people who did the birthday were mainly the disciples of the pavilion, and the only people invited were more than 20 people from the three sects, including Louguan.

But Xu Zhenren's plan obviously failed, on the day of his birthday, not only the heads of the entire Fujian sects and sects went up to the mountain to congratulate, but even many monks from other provinces rushed over thousands of miles. According to Senior Brother Yu, it is mainly the legacy left by Haiqiong Zhenren Bai Patriarch more than 100 years ago.

Xu Zhenren is a disciple of Peng Zhenren, Peng Zhenren is the personal disciple of Bai Yuchan, the patriarch of Neidannan, when Bai Zu was alive, he was like Zhang Laodao for decades, and he was the pillar of the entire Daomen. Patriarch Bai has traveled all over the world, made good connections, and given countless graces, so it can be said that half of the Taoist sects and even more scattered cultivation families have received the favor of Patriarch Bai.

The Daomen pays attention to the cause and effect of the fate, and these benefits are naturally fed back to the younger disciples of the Ziyang Sect. Xu Zhenren is the disciple of Patriarch Bai for three generations, and when Peng Zhenren was 100 years old, there were more congratulatory guests.

Senior Brother Yu has made a long and lengthy rendering of the birthday banquet, and his pen power has become more and more mellow and mature, and the description is vivid and vivid, and Zhao Ran can see it with relish.

Among them, Zhao Ran was most interested in a monk named Gu Nan'an. Zhao Ran once heard his teacher Jiang Tenghe mention that he was a Taoist friend he met in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province when the teacher was still in Huangguanjing.

In addition to the monks of the Daomen Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty, there are also a large number of loose cultivators, and the scattered cultivators include various sects and families of different sizes. Among them, the Gu family in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province is a relatively well-known family in the scattered cultivation, and in terms of strength, it is even stronger than many small sects in the Taoist pavilions, and the exercises also have their own unique characteristics.

This Gu Nan'an was actually appointed as a refiner one step earlier than his teacher Jiang Tenghe, and seeing this, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel distressed for Zhejiang Daomen's pavilion in Quzhou-Youlong Pavilion.

To confer a refiner on a cultivator, it takes 3.6 million gui to give a credibility value, Zhao Ran doesn't know what the credibility value of Quzhou is in a year, as a monk in Sichuan, he can only see the numbers of the provinces and counties in the credibility book he gets, but this number is twelve times the credibility value of the Songfan region last year!

On the day of Xu Zhen's birthday, in front of hundreds of monks from all over the country, this Gu Nanan proposed to Jiang Tenghe to ask for advice on Louguan exercises. According to Senior Brother Yu's notes, the teacher Jiang Tenghe didn't want to meet him in general, but this person used words to run in person, and Teacher Jiang had no choice but to fight.

On the third day after Xu Zhen's birthday, the two sides fought in front of the Ziyang Hall of the Crane Forest Pavilion, and the head of the Zhejiang Sanxiu family was defeated by Jiang Tenghe with Dan Fu, and it took half a pillar of incense before and after.

Seeing this, Zhao Ranxin said, this Gu Lian Master's cultivation is good, he can support half a pillar of incense in front of the teacher!

He remembered that the year before last, at the foot of Taihua Mountain, Lantian Palace's Chaotian Palace, who was also in the realm of refiners, was defeated in front of the teacher's Dan Fu in just a few breaths, so it seemed that Gu Nan'an was simply a great master in scattered cultivation.

Senior Brother Yu said again, and the teacher Jiang Tenghe asked him to inform Zhao Ran that they would stay in Fujian for a while, listen to Xu Zhenren teach Taoism, and learn from several senior disciples in the Helin Pavilion. The construction of Dajun Cave Heaven still needs Zhao Ran to take care of it, and they can't come back for the time being, especially the third senior brother Luo Zhiqing, who is quite "happy" after being defeated for a while.

Zhao Ran was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that Senior Brother Luo would also be defeated? I don't know what realm the other party is? If it is in the same realm, it will really wake up to myself-don't underestimate the heroes of the world!

At the end of the note, I didn't see Senior Brother Yu's description of this battle, so Zhao Ranfei asked.

Senior Brother Yu quickly replied, the other party was Lu Xixing, the third-generation senior disciple of the Crane Forest Pavilion, the Great Mage Realm.

After receiving this reply, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was one level higher than Senior Brother Luo, so that Senior Brother Luo's invincible image would collapse in his heart.

Zhao Ran then said: "Senior brother, please tell the teacher, everything is fine in Dajun Mountain, there is no need to worry." ”

Soon, Senior Brother Yu came with another flying talisman: "Senior Brother helped Senior Brother Luo get angry, Lu Xixing was defeated just now, haha!"

It turns out that the senior brother is so powerful! I have never seen him make a move before, so Zhao Ran has never known his ability. But after thinking about it, Senior Brother is a senior Jindan, and the teacher has broken through the realm in retreat for two years, and the responsibility of teaching Senior Brother Yu, Senior Brother Luo and himself is all undertaken by Senior Brother, which is already very revealing. Besides, if he doesn't have any ability, how can the teacher hand over the Sun Moon Huanghua Sword to him?

Since the teacher had a good time in Fujian with his classmates, Zhao Ran didn't need to be distracted and settled down to take over the White Horse Academy.

On November 9, Zhao Ran, accompanied by Lu Zhizhong, the head of the Fangtang, left the White Horse Courtyard and went to the countryside to understand the people's situation.

Yuan Hao heard that Zhao Ran was going out, so he hurriedly came over and asked: "Where is the abbot going?" I will send more people to protect the abbot, this place is not very peaceful, I am afraid that there will be young people......

Zhao Ran smiled: "I am a cultivator, a little small, where the scourge comes to me, Lao Yuan don't worry." ”

Yuan Hao said: "The abbot is right, then, I will arrange for someone to contact the abbot first?"

Zhao Ran waved his hand: "I just go out for a walk, just take a look, I don't know where I'm going, how can you get in touch? ”

Yuan Hao was sent to the gate of the Taoist Academy, and the two deacons of the pawn house and the guest hall also hurriedly followed, beckoning his subordinates to play the honor guard, but they were all stopped by Zhao Ran, and everyone looked at each other and watched Zhao Ran leave.

Yuan Hao stroked his long beard, watched Zhao Ran walk through the street, nodded, and waved at everyone: "It's all gone." ”
