Chapter 36: Let's talk about the move
PS: Thank you Eagle Week for the reward, thank you for the monthly ticket encouragement of Wonderful Duck.
After agreeing with the county lieutenant Jin on the details of the action against the Chengnan Long clan, Zhao Ran didn't stop and immediately rushed to Wutang. From the county seat to the west, along the official road walked more than ten miles, turned off the fork in the road, continued to the south, not long after, you saw patches of golden rice fields. Elsewhere due to drought, the yield has been reduced or even no harvest, but Wutang has shown a bumper harvest everywhere.
Looking at the farmers in the fields in front of him, Zhao Ran couldn't help but sigh, this is really an excellent feng shui place!
Of course, Zhao Ran's trip to Wutang was not to see feng shui, his destination was the house of the eunuch of Luo, a big household in Wutang. Because he had come twice to catch demons, Luo Xiangeun's servants recognized Zhao Ran at a glance and rushed in to pray, and after a while, Luo Xiangeun personally greeted him.
As soon as they met, Zhao Ran noticed that there was a bit of hesitation and embarrassment hidden in the enthusiasm of Luo Xiangeun, he knew what Luo Xiangeun was thinking about in his heart, and he didn't break it in person, only said that he wanted to go to the garden in the backyard of the house, and then see where the demon hunt was.
The layout in the garden has completely changed, and the stone mountain, water pavilion, and pavilion are not in their original position.
Zhao Ran turned around, and did not leave the garden, so he made it clear to Luo Xiangeun here: "Now that the drought in Guyang County is becoming more and more severe, the Taoist Institute and the county government have made a lot of efforts to do a good job in disaster relief, but the price of grain in the county has been soaring, which makes the Song Prison and Kong Xianzun anxious, what do you say about Luo Xiange?"
Luo Xiang said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the price of grain has risen in the year of famine, which is also a natural thing. Presumably, after this famine, next year when the wind and rain are good, the price of food will come down. ”
Zhao Ran let out an "oh" and suddenly said: "But I heard that the poor road heard that it was the big families in the county who unanimously discussed. If you want to take this opportunity to stock up on grain, I wonder if the eunuch of Luo knows about it?"
Luo Xiangyi snorted and said, "There is such a thing, but Luo has never heard of it." ”
Zhao Ran said hesitantly: "Yes, but how did Poor Dao hear that Luo Xiangyun is also one of them, and he is running up and down, so he really worries a lot?"
Luo Xiangeun's head shook desperately like a rattle. He waved his hand and said: "Where is such a thing? Lord Zhao Fangzhu must not believe Xiaoxiao's words, Luo Mou is really wronged!"
Zhao Ran smiled: "That's right, after Poor Dao heard about it, he also felt puzzled, Luo Xiangeun is a sensible person." How could such a foolish thing be done?"
Luo Xiangeun Zhengse said: "What Lord Zhao said is good, since Luo returned to his hometown, he has always taken the benefit of Xiangzi as his own responsibility, and he will never take advantage of the famine year to make this ill-gotten gain, if there is any villain chewing the root of his tongue, please also ask Lord Zhao Fang to call the shots, please come and confront Luo, to see who is so shameless." I want to frame Luo!"
Zhao Ran was relieved: "Luo Xiangeun's intentions, poor Taoism is understood, so I specially came to Wutang." I was afraid that the eunuch Luo was slandered by rumors, so I specially visited. This is also entrusted by the Song Prison Academy, please rest assured that Luo Xiangeun is. ”
"Thank you Song Prison for your understanding, and thank you Zhao Fangzhu for your kind words. ”
Zhao Ran nodded, changed his words, squinted his eyes and said, "Luo Xiangyi just said." Always take it as our responsibility to benefit the township?"
"Exactly, Luo's heart is expressible!"
Zhao Ran high-fived and said: "Then the poor Dao will thank Luo Xiangeun on behalf of Wuji Courtyard! I don't know if Luo Xiangeun is willing to let go of the granary." Selling grain to the people in the county at a reasonable price? The poor road has been presented to the Song Dynasty Supervision Yuan, and a stone tablet will be erected in front of the gate of Wuji Mountain. Anyone who is willing to contribute to the relief of the victims can be named, this righteous act that has been passed down through the ages, presumably Luo Xiangeun is willing to do it. ”
Luo Xiangeun said with a bitter face: "Of course this is a great thing, Luo is very willing in his heart." It's just that...... It's just that don't look at my Luo family's bright appearance, but in fact, there is not much food in stock, there are hundreds of mouths in this house, and there is no time to take care of yourself, where is there any margin to sell? ”
Zhao Ran stared at Luo Xiangeun, his eyes became cold, Luo Xiangeun lowered his head vigorously, looking aggrieved, but he refused to agree.
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Ran smiled: "Since this is the case, it is not difficult for you." ”
Luo Xiangeun was like being amnestied, smiling and smiling, and said a few baskets of good words such as gratitude and understanding on the side, but he kept urging in his heart, wishing that Zhao Ran, the plague god, would leave quickly. Zhao Ran didn't seem to have the intention of turning around and leaving, just wandering around the garden, chatting with Luo Xiangeun.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Ran sighed with emotion: "Lao Luo, your garden is really a treasure of feng shui, and you have taken up the blessings of Wutang, and your Lao Luo family will definitely soar in the future." ”
"Thanks to Lord Zhao's blessing. ”
"Gathering the aura of heaven and earth here, it is really a wonderful place to practice, no wonder the raccoon rat spirit fell in love with you that day. By the way, Lao Luo, do you know the Long Worm Mountain?"
"Long Worm Mountain?" Luo Xiangeun pondered for a moment with his long beard and asked, "Is it the Long Worm Mountain next to the Yangfang Station?"
"Yes, it seems that you have heard of Lao Luo. Zhao Ran smiled weirdly, and said, "Do you know that there are monsters in Changworm Mountain?"
"It seems that there are rumors that there is a demon in Changworm Mountain, but no one has seen it, so it must be just a village woman's nonsense. If there are really monsters, how can the Daomen let them go?"
Zhao Ran waved his fingers lightly, and motioned to Luo Xiangeun to come over: "Old Luo, the poor road is in love with you, and I will tell you the secret today, you must not spread it." You also know that Poor Dao is now the master of the Fang Hall of the Wuji Academy, specializing in the arrest of demons and evil spirits. Not long ago, Poor Dao went to Changworm Mountain, guess what? There are really monsters on the mountain, this is what Poor Dao saw with his own eyes!"
Luo Xiangyun was stunned: "Lord Zhao Fang is not joking?"
Zhao Ran pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "This matter is true, if there is a word of falsehood in the poor Dao, the sky will hit five thunders, and this oath is the ancestor of the Dao as proof!"
The people in the Daomen swore by the Dao Ancestor, which was a very heavy oath, and the eunuchs of Luo couldn't help but believe it, so they were shocked and said: "There is really a demon, why don't you go to the Daomen?"
Zhao Ran sighed: "That monster is transformed by a five-colored golden chicken, and it has opened its spiritual wisdom, and the Dao Gate is called a spirit demon, and it cannot be defeated by cultivators above the Great Refiner." You also know that now that the war in White Horse Mountain is in full swing, my Daomen talents are busy fighting with the demon monks of Buddhism, where is there time to take care of these, only when the war on White Horse Mountain is over, will I have the spare strength to go back and eradicate the demons. However, this spirit demon still knows what is good or bad, and has an appointment with my Daomen, and only uses Changworm Mountain as a place to practice, and does not harm the world for the time being. ”
Luo Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, that's okay......"
Zhao Ran said again: "But that spirit demon also has a condition, the spiritual energy of Changworm Mountain is insufficient, which hinders its cultivation, and it wants my Daomen to promise to choose a blessed place to move to ...... as much as possible."
When Zhao Ran said this, the smile on his face became more and more weird, and Luo Xiangeun changed color and said, "Lord Zhao Fang, you won't ......"
Zhao Ran looked around, nodded and praised: "This is really a blessed land! Lao Luo, let's talk about the relocation." You said that if the poor Dao reported this place to the Huayun Pavilion, well, do you know the Huayun Pavilion? That is the secret place of my Daomen...... You know, Lao Luo, are you well-informed...... Do you think the five-colored brocade chicken will move here? I think there is a good chance that it will be done...... Don't worry Lao Luo, my Daomen will give you another place to relocate, and I won't let you suffer. ”
Luo Xiangeun's face was bitter, and he muttered, "Lord Zhao, how can you be like this...... We have a friendship......"
Zhao Ran sighed: "Friendship is friendship, business is business, as long as that spirit demon has a blessed land to cultivate, he will agree to serve my Daomen, what kind of help do you say this is? Spirit demon, that is comparable to the cultivation of the Great Refiner level!"
Luo Xiangeun's face was unwilling, and he couldn't speak with a sad face. Zhao Ran patted him on the shoulder: "Lao Luo, don't look so uncomfortable, don't worry, Poor Dao has a friendship with you, and I definitely won't let you suffer! That spirit demon now lives in the back mountain of Changworm Mountain, that mountain is very large, and when the time comes, Poor Dao will do his best to lobby for you and assign the entire back mountain to you...... Rest assured, there aren't many people on the mountain, and no one will fight with you. By the way, although there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountain, the poor Dao will consider this matter, please try to eradicate it as much as possible before the five-color master leaves the mountain, and you can move over safely. ”
The more Zhao Ran said, the more frightened Luo Xiangeun became. After Zhao Ran finished speaking, he turned around and left: "Okay, Poor Dao will go first, you have time to think about what else you have to ask for, just put it forward, Poor Dao will fight for you." ”
Seeing that Zhao Ran was leaving, Luo Xiangyun couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed Zhao Ran, and shouted, "Lord Zhao Fang ......"
Zhao Ran turned around, pretending to be puzzled, Luo Xiangeun couldn't hold back, and begged: "Zhao Fang has something to Luo to do, and please say, Luo does his best, this Wutang is the foundation that Luo is preparing to pass on to the family, and I just ask Lord Fang to protect ......"
