On the first day of October, the general view summoned the world to gather in the cave of Jinji Peak in Lushan, and promoted the abbot of Jian Lonely View in the True Master Hall. This public recommendation was more eye-catching than when the Sanqing Pavilion publicly recommended that the real person was a real person sitting in the hall, and there were more cultivators who participated in it.

Seventy-one refining voids, plus Shen Yunjing, a total of sixty-two people participated in the deliberations, and only ten people were unable to attend due to retreat, really important matters, etc.

As the only candidate for the positive side, Zhang Yuanji successfully received the support of 57 votes in favor, was publicly elected as the abbot of Xiaguan, and was awarded the title of Heavenly Master of the Heir Sect, and also became one of the sixteen true masters who sat in the hall.

Compared with Zhang Yangming, the former superintendent who resigned, and compared with Shen Yunjing, the former abbot who has now been reappointed as the superintendent, Zhang Yuanji's voice in the True Master Hall is obviously much stronger, and it has also played a huge propaganda role for the monks to perform the policy of the Ten Directions Jungle.

On October 5th, Xu Zhenren, who participated in the public promotion of Lushan, came to Dajun Mountain and was warmly received by Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang.

Talking about this treasure, mentioning the faces of Chen Shandao and Guo Hongjing, Xu Zhenren couldn't help laughing. Immediately, he sighed with emotion: "The two of them have been in charge of the Treasure Scripture Pavilion for many years, and they really regard the Treasure Scripture Pavilion as their own, and they are so reluctant to take something out, hehe." ”

After the ceremonies such as worshipping the patriarch and entering the building were completed, Xu Zhenren put forward a request to go to the cloud to meet the ancestor of Longyang, and the ancestor of Longyang agreed.

What was discussed on the stage, Zhao Ran had no way of knowing, and even Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang didn't know, but Xu Zhenren told Jiang Tenghe: "The Zongsheng Pavilion should be more cautious in the next few years. ”

After sending Xu Zhenren away, Zhao Ran pondered the meaning of Xu Zhenren's words while busy with the autumn harvest in various places.

This was an autumn harvest under the direct leadership of the Drought Relief Headquarters, and it involved nearly one million people in the nine counties affected by the disaster. In the end, the results of the statistics showed that compared with last year, the average output reduction caused by this drought reached 30%, but on the other hand, 70% of the total grain output was maintained, plus the reduction and exemption of the Daomen and the imperial court, and the forced rent reduction requirements of the gentry and landlords, not a single person in the disaster area was displaced, and not a single person starved to death because of the disaster.

This was a major victory, and the entire Sichuan Provincial Daomen and the imperial court were dumbfounded, and the Di Bao, "Junshan Notes", and "Bagua" all rejoiced at this victory in the struggle against drought, and even in the newly appeared publications of the provinces, such as "Longhu Mountain", "Lingbao Xinshuo", "Neidan", "Maoshan Mountain", "Inside and Outside the Imperial City", and so on, they were all enthusiastically discussing the zero deaths under this disaster.

The prestige of Sichuan Provincial Daomen in the whole province has been greatly consolidated and strengthened, and the news from the Kyushu Pavilion also shows that the credibility value of Sichuan Province has risen sharply in the 27th year of Jiajing, and there are still two months before the end of the year, and the total credibility value has exceeded the 26th year of Jiajing!

For the first time, the people felt that the distance between themselves and the monks of the pavilion was so short, and that the monks who practiced in the mountains and came and went without a trace were originally by their side, doing their best to protect them.

The names of a group of Sichuan monks began to be familiar among the common people, and the deeds of many monks became the talk of the people after tea and dinner, and became the legends of the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses.

These names include: Dongfang Tianshi, Dongfang Jing, Jiang Tenghe, Zhao Liniang, Wei Zhizhen, Yu Zhichuan, Pei Zhongxi, Li Tengxin, Zheng Yutong, Zhu Meng...... And so on and so forth.

And Zhao Zhiran, who has lived for the people for three years, has undoubtedly become a hotly discussed star figure on the streets, and even many people's homes have begun to spontaneously worship the portrait of Zhao Zhiran, the head of the Zongsheng Hall.

On November 1, Zhao Ran received three huge umbrellas for 10,000 people. The umbrella is one zhang high, respectively from the Songfan, Longan and the capital three disaster areas, is the people spontaneously gathered to make the system, the umbrella surface, the umbrella lining, written dense names, each name has a fingerprint. Dozens of representatives of the people from the three places came to the front of the Tianhe Palace and held a lively and solemn umbrella ceremony.

Seeing these three 10,000-person umbrellas, Zhao Ran was moved to tears for a moment...... He assured Sanqing Daozun that this was really not his private operation.

Zhao Ran has paid nearly a year of hard work, diligent, conscientious, and devoted himself to the front line of drought relief and disaster relief.

The scene when Zhu Xuanci, Zhang Laodao and Qingjun ascended reappeared, and the merit power frantically poured into Zhao Ran's qi sea, and after the merit and strength sea was full, he continued to support the spiritual power and qi sea.

Fortunately, it is slightly different from the last time that this harvest of merit power is not a matter of an instant, but starts after the autumn harvest and lasts for nearly a month, so that Zhao Ran will not have "abdominal pain".

Moreover, compared to the previous two times, Zhao Ran is now a double golden pill cultivator, and the capacity of the Qi Sea is several times stronger, and the merit power that can be accommodated is nearly ten times more than that of the last time.

By the end of November, the merit power that poured towards Zhao Ran had returned to its normal state.

Zhao Ran had to run to Junshan Lake, lure the Xuanjia turtle out, cut the essence blood twice, and refined the decoction twice according to Master Cai's recipe, but unfortunately the entry of the essence yuan is not big, and it can only be regarded as better than nothing. He didn't waste the extra decoction, and gathered Qu Fenghe and several other second-generation disciples over and divided a big bowl of one person to make up for these boys.

He calculated it himself, and now that Jing Yuan's refining ability has doubled, it is estimated that it will only take half a year at most to refine enough mana to polish and perfect the golden pill, and then it will be the day when his golden pill will be consummated. After he reached the sustenance of his natal divine consciousness and entered the ** master realm, the remaining merit power was enough for him to "squander" for a long time, and this time it was really sent!

With the successful conclusion of the drought relief work, the drought relief headquarters was officially disbanded, and the charters, documents, etc. were retained.

The relevant monks, laymen, officials, etc., who participated in the drought relief did not mention their own meritorious rewards, and in terms of meritorious service, there were people who were more interested and experienced than Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran did not have to interfere too much.

Dongfang Li brought back the invitation of Song Yang Shi Heavenly Master of Kyushu Pavilion and wanted to invite him to serve as a deacon in Kyushu Pavilion. And Song Tianshi also assured that once Zhao Ran was promoted to a refining master, he would make an exception and promote him to the elder of the Kyushu Pavilion. This may be regarded as a reward from the True Master Hall for him, and it is a reward for his favor. Don't you like to be an official? Then reward you with a high-level "official position"!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ran still chose to resign, and after fifteen years of fighting in the Daomen, he already clearly understood that it was really difficult to get a lot of merit in doing things in the Six Pavilions of Shangguan, and he didn't dare to believe that the various functions of Shangguan could correspond to the cracking of the detailed exercises, instead of taking risks, it was better to be the abbot of his ten jungles in a down-to-earth manner, at least this road was clear and predictable.

In this regard, Song Tianshi was not reluctant, and said that the promise would be effective for a long time.

After reporting all the matters of this drought relief to Dongfang Heavenly Master, Zhao Yunlou, and Zhou San, Zhao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the Dajun Cave Heaven.

As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Qu Fenghe leading a group of juniors and disciples, busy working in the heavens and on earth.

Zhao Ran beckoned him over and said: "Since you are the abbot of the White Horse Academy, you still have to sink more energy, and don't always run to the mountain gate." ”

Qu Fenghe nodded in agreement, and then said: "Little uncle, the day after tomorrow, the Zongsheng Pavilion confers Dabi, your speech has been prepared, it was written by Fengshan, according to your habits, it is written in the vernacular, have you seen it?"

Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, patted his head, and then remembered that Qu Fenghe, as the new Daomen of the Zongsheng Pavilion, was busy teaching Dabi, and he was wrong to blame him.

But as a division commander, if you are wrong, you are wrong, so what can you do? I didn't need to explain anything, so I coughed dryly, and while reading the manuscript, I asked: "Is it held in heaven and earth? How many people have signed up for the casual training, and who will pay for the room and board?"

"There are 21 applicants in total, and the cost is self-paid. ”

Zhao Ran nodded with satisfaction, quickly finished reading the manuscript, and returned it to Qu Fenghe: "I won't go, you take care of it." ”
