PS: Thank you Yangzhigang for the reward, thank you for the monthly ticket encouragement of kfczaji and therea.

As expected, Jing Duguan rejected Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran's request to meet, and such an attitude cast a heavy cloud on the hearts of the two. However, their trip was not without gains, not only was Bai Duxuan willing to come forward to help, but even Liao Duchu promised to try to fight for the lightest punishment for them when needed, of course, at the cost of 1,000 taels of silver.

After thinking about it, the attitude of Xu Tenglong, the new supervisor, is mostly not good, plus a Jing Zhimo, when he talks to Shangbai and Liao Du during the discussion of Sandu, the weight is obviously superior. If Xu Tenglong invited Abbot Du to participate in the Sandu deliberations again, he would be even less optimistic.

On the way back to Guyang County, Song Zhiyuan finally couldn't help it, and said to Zhao Ran: "Senior brother, last time you said that Master Chu went to Southern Xinjiang, I don't know if there is a way to get in touch?"

Zhao Ran shook his head, he had already thought about this method, but a year had passed, and there was no news from Master Chu, Zhu Qigu and others, and no one could be found at all. Some time ago, when he was searching for a "bald monk" at the foot of the mountain, he also took the opportunity to go to Wenxiang Valley, but the small bamboo courtyard was empty, the bamboo house was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the courtyard was full of messy weeds.

Song Zhiyuan still didn't give up, and said: "Didn't the junior brother have acquaintances in the Huayun Pavilion before, why don't you ask the pavilion for a favor?"

Zhao Ran explained: "Zhuo Tengyun and Zhuo Tengyi, the two uncles, are looking for medicine by the riverside, and the flying talisman cannot be contacted. ”

Song Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you find Zhu Zhimeng? After all, he is from Wuji Academy...... Besides, when he was in Songfeng Ridge this time, he still seemed to be very enthusiastic about you. ”

Zhao Ran sighed: "Although I didn't expect the situation to be so strict at the time, I did reveal similar thoughts, and he also went to help ask Master Liang for advice. But was rejected by Master Liang. ”

Song Zhiyuan asked, "Why did Master Liang refuse?"

Zhao Ran said angrily: "Who knows? Maybe people really take into account the practice of monks not interfering in the mundane affairs of the Ten Directions Jungle? Or maybe the dignified mages are not interested in getting involved in these things at all? In short, they refused, and they didn't bother to find one excuse. ”

"That'...... Where's Master Lin?"

As soon as he talked about Master Lin, Zhao Ran couldn't help but think of Zhou Yumo, who had already broken off contact, and felt irritated in his heart, and asked Song Zhiyuan: "Isn't the niece of the prison the apprentice of Master Lin? Why didn't the prison invite your niece to come forward and ask Master Lin for help?"

Song Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and then said, "That kid replied that Master Lin didn't have time to take care of these trivial matters. ”

"Is your niece not having time to cook, or is Master Lin not having time to cook?"

"Xiao Qiao is not a person with a heart like a stone, she knows how to repay kindness. ”

Zhao Ran sneered: "These monks in the pavilion, where do they care about the life or death of us ants!"

Song Zhiyuan was silent, and for a long time, Zhao Ran breathed a long sigh of relief. forcibly expelled the boredom in his heart, looked at Song Zhiyuan, who was half-haired and white-haired, and said apologetically: "Prison, I shouldn't have talked like that...... I'm panicking...... This matter started because of me, but it implicated the prison ......"

Song Zhiyuan shook his head: "Alas...... I don't blame you, as a prison officer, I can't cover you thoroughly, but in turn, I want you to help you in everything. Now that something has happened, not only can the brothers in the hospital be saved. Even Uncle Zhu, Uncle Luo, and Uncle Yuan were all implicated in this, and speaking of which, I am really incompetent in this prison. ”

When Song Zhiyuan said this, Zhao Ran felt even more guilty, and immediately said: "Don't be like this in the prison, I'm thinking." When I go back, I will look for Zhuzhimeng again. ”

"Didn't you say that Master Liang had already refused?"

"At this time and that time, this time I will find Zhu Zhimeng, I believe he will do his best. Zhao Ran's plan was to grit his teeth and take out one or two of the elixirs in his finger to dedicate them to Huayun Pavilion, so as to ask Huayun Pavilion to come forward to protect them. Song Zhiyuan thought that Zhao Ran was preparing to agitate Zhu Zhimeng again in his current bad form. So he didn't hold out any hope, just nodded weakly: "Tell me if you need anything, and I'll do my best." ”

"I should ask Bai Du to tell me about the ...... of sending a letter to Huayun Pavilion for me" Zhao Ran was a little annoyed, and then said to Song Zhiyuan: "It's better to ask the prison to tell your niece, help me contact Zhu Zhimeng, and ask Zhu Zhimeng to come to Wuji Courtyard to see you." ”

"It's easy to say, there are flying pigeons left by Little Joe at home, and the news is very fast. ”

The two of them hurried back, first went to Song Zhiyuan's customary village to write a note, and used flying pigeons to pass on Song Yuqiao, who was cultivating in Huayun Pavilion, and then Zhao Ran remembered something and asked: "The prison has a good relationship with our old abbot, I heard that he has a wide range of paths, I don't know if it's true?"

Song Zhiyuan sighed: "You have been running around these days, and you don't know it, the abbot's body has been getting worse and worse since last year, and he was bedridden six days ago, and he was often in a coma, and the doctor said that I am afraid it will not work." ”

Zhao Ran said: "I don't know, I'm really ashamed! I still have a few black ginseng pills here, and I will give them to the old abbot to try." ”

"I tried it, you gave me three pills last time, one of which I gave to the abbot at the beginning of the year, when the abbot was in good spirits for more than a month, and then it still did not heal. The abbot said that he was the end of his life, not the misfortune of illness, and the elixir could cure the disease, but it could not prolong the life, unless it was an elixir. He said that this medicine is precious, let me keep it well, and he himself will not use it again no matter what. ”

Zhao Ran said: "It's okay, I have more here, and I use another grain, I believe it can make the abbot better." ”

Song Zhiyuan knew what Zhao Ran meant, and he didn't ask for an extension of the abbot's life, but just asked him to recover his spirit and see if he could help. This idea has a little selfish component, Song Zhiyuan is also not easy to break, and after thinking about the big knife that Abbot Du of Xizhenwu Palace and Xu Jian Yuan put on his head, he agreed with silence.

The two immediately rushed back to the mountain gate, and Song Zhiyuan directly led Zhao Ran to the Jiazishe where the abbot lived, and stayed in it for most of the hour, and when he came out, it was already dark.

Looking at the heavy dark clouds covering the sky overhead, Song Zhiyuan sighed, "It's going to snow."

Zhao Ran looked up at the sky silently, and said for a long time: "I'm afraid the abbot won't be able to survive the first month." He mobilized his concentrating state at the right time, opened the heavenly eye to investigate, and found that the qi on the abbot's body was slowly dissipating, which was an irreversible process, representing that a person's vitality was dying, and it was not something that ordinary elixir could save.

Song Zhiyuan pinched a piece of letterhead in his hand and said, "I didn't expect the abbot to have an old ...... with Xuanyuanguan's Li Jian Yuan."

Just now after Zhao Ran fed the abbot a black ginseng pill, the abbot woke up from a coma and listened to Song Zhiyuan's proclamation, so he wrote this letter, to Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran's surprise, the recipient turned out to be Li Yunhe of Xuanyuan Guanyuan.

After writing the letter, the abbot's spirit was sluggish again, and he fell into a deep sleep, he did not explain what kind of friendship he had with Li Yunhe, but Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran were not optimistic - if the friendship was deep, how could the old abbot stay in Guyang County for so many years?

But it's still the same sentence, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, but whenever there is a little hope, you must try your best to fight for it.

was about to find someone to go to Chengdu to deliver a letter, but he saw Zhao Zhixing, a confidant. This intellectual, who came from Xuanyuanguan "airborne", has been in office in Wuji Courtyard for more than ten months, and he will leave in less than two months, but in the entire Wuji Courtyard, except for Zhao Ran who is familiar with him, everyone else is regarded as a stranger to him.

Zhao Zhixing's arrival made Song Zhiyuan's face even more ugly, and he unfolded a document submitted by Zhao Zhike, so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

This official document was sent from Xuanyuanguan, the content of the official document is that Zhao Zhixing has been in office for nearly a year, which is considered to be the expiration of his term, according to the requirements of the Western Sichuan Division, all Taoist temples, Taoist palaces, and Taoist institutes in Sichuan Province must increase their manpower support for the front line of the war in Baima Mountain, so they urgently recruited Zhao Zhixing to return to Xuanyuanguan.

Clear-eyed people knew at a glance that this was Zhao Zhike's fear that the responsibility for the death of Zhang Jian Yuan would be shared on his head, so he used his connections to end his tenure in Wuji Yuan early to avoid risks.

The reason is sufficient, the procedure is correct, in the face of the smiling Zhao Zhixing, the Song Prison Yuan can only be angry at himself, extremely depressed to sign and draw, and agree that Zhao Zhixing will leave to return to Chengdu immediately.

Zhao Ran understood Song Zhiyuan's depression very well, for fear that he couldn't help but be mad on the spot, so he hurriedly glanced at Song Zhiyuan and pulled Zhao Zhixing out of the prison building. (To be continued......) R1292
