Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life Goes On
Zhao Ran came out of Song Zhiyuan's dormitory, but bumped into Zhong Tengyun in the prison courtyard, this is the person in charge of the Wuji Courtyard, and when he was in a hurry, he hurriedly stood aside and said respectfully, "I've seen the prison."
Zhong Tengyun caught a glimpse of Zhao Ran at a glance, and remembered that this person was the person brought by the Great Refiner Chu Yangcheng, and couldn't help asking: "Are you Zhao Ran?"
Zhao Ran replied: "There is the Labor Supervision Institute to worry about, and Zhao Ran is safe." ”
Zhong Tengyun nodded: "Do you still get used to doing things in the dormitory?"
Zhao Ran said: "I have been sweeping for more than four months, and now I have moved to the dining room. ”
Zhong Tengyun sighed and said, "That's good, it's good to be in charge, if you have any difficulties, come to me." ”
This is the polite words of the superior, it does not mean that you can go to him for help if you really encounter difficulties, Zhao Ran completely understood this, and thanked him immediately.
Zhong Tengyun had something to do, so he casually comforted Zhao Ran a few words, and hurried to Jiaziju, where the abbot lived.
The abbot was pruning the flowers and plants on the flower bed of Jiaziju, and when he saw Zhong Tengyun's anxious look, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Be calm, you have calm when you come to a major event!
The prison responded with a "yes", then forcibly swallowed the words back, accompanied the abbot to cut a few autumn orchid leaves, and sucked the leaves with a watering can, and then announced: "Abbot, Jian Lonely Guan is coming, and I want to convene a ** meeting in White Horse Mountain, not only to discuss the matter of repelling Buddhism, but also to rearrange the White Horse Mountain array." ”
The abbot let out an "oh" and asked, "Is there someone from Lushan?"
"I heard that it was a real person. ”
The abbot said hesitantly: "Zhang Yangming, it seems that the general view attaches great importance to this matter, and actually sent him here." ”
"Yes, Xuanyuanguan has issued an edict, asking all palaces, courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions in Sichuan Province to send people to Baima Mountain to listen to the dispatch of real people. ”
"The matter of fighting methods, we have our own pavilion to come forward, our palace courtyard, try our best to supply the needs of the array...... What, you want to go?"
Zhong Tengyun hesitated a little and said, "Well, after all, it's the general view who came, and Xuanyuan Guan issued an edict, so our Wuji Courtyard can't be too lazy, right?"
The abbot seemed to be smiling, and stared at Zhong Tengyun for a moment: "I know what you are thinking, but if you listen to my advice, it will be okay if you don't have this opportunity." ”
Zhong Tengyun was puzzled: "Why is this?"
"Pursue a real person who is strict, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, if he serves well, he will do it, and if there is a bad pool, he will cause trouble. ”
"Yes...... What does the abbot mean?"
"Let others go! Do a good job, it's the credit of Wuji Academy, you are the prison court, you can't run away with this benefit; if you do a bad job, you have nothing to do with it, and you will be blamed by real people, and others will bear it. Of course, if you really want to go, you have to be well prepared and don't make a mistake when you act. ”
Zhong Tengyun was silent for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "Just listen to the abbot's words...... In the abbot's opinion, who should be sent?"
The abbot yawned: "Well, you can decide for yourself." ”
"Jia Zhichong is good? He is the oldest, so he is calm and mellow here, and he will not miss his position. Moreover, Zhike is one of the eight deacons, which shows that our Wuji Academy attaches great importance to it......"
The abbot waved his hand and said impatiently: "I'm tired, you can do it yourself." ”
Zhong Tengyun answered "yes" and withdrew from Jiaziju.
Not to mention that Zhong Tengyun went to the guest hall to arrange for Jia Zhichong to go to White Horse Mountain, but said that Zhao Ran left the backyard and did not immediately report to the dining room, but went straight to the back mountain.
Of course, it's a good thing that he doesn't have to continue to sweep, but he also has to hurry up and inform Lao Dao, and at the same time settle Lao Dao's salary.
Zhao Ran walked through the Guanyun Platform and followed the path to Qingtan, Qingtan was empty, and he came to the top again, and he didn't see the old road. When I turned back to the clear pool, I was about to wait, but I saw a piece of paper poking on the branch of the thatched roof. Zhao Ran took it down and looked at it, and there were a few lines of words written crookedly on the paper, which was the handwriting of Lao Dao:
"Stinky boy, I heard that you don't need a broom, congratulations! The salary is 8,300 Wen, and I know very well that I will leave it here for you, and then take it when I have time, you are not allowed to be greedy for ink. The hut and the fishing rod have been given to you, so you should keep a memory. There's something different about your broken belt, but I don't understand it, so I'll talk about it later. In addition, once you have entered the Taoist gate, you should read some Taoist books, and don't fool around all day long. By the way, be kind to the old donkey. That's it, let's go!"
Zhao Ran looked at the paper, took a deep breath, and secretly smiled and scolded: "Who has been messing around all day, this old way, he is not ashamed to say this!" looked at the broken thatched hut and the fishing rod leaning next to the thatched house, shook his head, and said in his heart: "Who is rare with your broken things, tattered and lost, you can also give it away!" and repeatedly read the old Taoist handwritten book several times, and there was a burst of disdain: "I have learned so many heavenly characters from Lao Tzu, but I still haven't made any progress!"
Standing on the bank of the pool, Zhao Ran's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't help but think again, this old way, obviously uneducated, still learning what letters others write, I don't know if I will say a word before leaving, look, this letter is written is vulgar.
I don't know how long I stayed by the pool, Zhao Ran cleaned up the withered grass that fell on the thatched house, and placed the broken fishing rod again, and then turned around and left.
He had just left the enclosure at this time, and before he reported to Li Fantou in the dining room, he was not restrained for the time being, so he said hello to the Fangtang fireworker who was on duty at the gate of Wuji Courtyard and went down the mountain gate.
Because of Wuji Courtyard, there are often handlebar-style and small merchants selling groceries under the mountain gate, and there is even a tea shop on the side of the road. Zhao Ran found a handlebar style and spent five taels of silver to buy the donkey he pulled the cart directly. Five taels of silver and a donkey, Zhao Ran was obviously treated as a sheep and was slaughtered fiercely.
But Zhao Ran didn't take it to heart, since he entered the Wuji Courtyard, he was already used to being slaughtered as a sheep, who called the Taoist priests and the fire dwellers to be regarded as wronged by the merchants?
led the donkey up the mountain, entered the Wuji Courtyard, pulled it to the trough room, and told the trough head about his intentions. Seeing that Zhao Ran replaced the old and broken donkey with a sturdy donkey, he agreed very happily. From today on, the old donkey will return to Zhao Ran, but he is still fostered in the trough house, and Zhao Ran also has to pay a daily alimony fee of ten yuan in the trough house.
"Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey, the old man has committed an accident and ran away, leaving us here to rely on each other. But you don't have to be sad, it's definitely much better to follow me than to follow that gangster! From today on, we don't have to go to the sweep, you can be born here and raised, eat and drink well, let's raise the hair bright, the flesh and fat, and when that guy comes back to show him, let him envy and hate!"
"Aung Aung—"
After taking care of his own chores, Zhao Ran carried the package and went to report to Li Fantou in the dining room. Li Fantou's name is Li Zhiwen, and in the rules of Taoism, anyone who has received the degree must be included in the list of Taoist priests, and the basis for the ranking is the name and generation. The Daomen is a generation every 20 years, and those who enter the Daomen within these 20 years are all members of the same generation as long as they have received the degree. This generation of Taoist priests is the generation of Zhizi, which is taken from the word "Zhi" in the eight characters of "Lu Lu Tunes the Sun, and the Clouds Cause Rain", and a Zhi needs to be added in the middle of the name. If Zhao Ran can become a serious Taoist priest within two years, then he will also follow this example and change his name to "Zhao Zhiran".
Of course, this kind of generational rule is only limited to the jungle of the ten directions of the Daomen, but the descendants of the temple are sorted down according to the name of the first master worshipped, and it is also based on these eight characters.
Compared with Zhou Zhixiu, the head of the house, Li Zhiwen is obviously much richer, and the two pieces of fat on his cheeks are shiny and bubbling, and he walks swaying. Guo Caitou of the vegetable room was already preparing to return to his hometown and go down the mountain, and gradually faded out of his daily affairs, so the dining room and the vegetable room were presided over by Li Zhiwen.
Li Zhiwen asked Zhao Ran to find a place to live first, and told him to go to the back kitchen of the dining hall to do things an hour before dinner, and then Shi Shiran went.
The fireworkers in the dining room and the vegetable room are crowded into a small courtyard, but because of the small number of people, it is much more spacious than the clean room and the fence room. There are three people in the dining room and four people in the vegetable room, and there are only seven people in total, so there are basically two people in one room, and Zhang Ze in the vegetable room dominates the room in the middle of the north by himself.
