This case is far away in Zhejiang, and it has little to do with Zhao Ran, so he can only listen to it as a book, and the next thing is his business.

"This is in June, when I pacified the three departments of Hongyuan in the White Horse Academy, I collected it from the hands of the two great sorcerers of the Chama Department, and the two great sorcerers said that this is called the Zimu Serial Knife, which is said to have been passed down by their master, a monk who traveled to the Chama Department four years ago. The monk's surname was Lu, and his name was unknown, and of course, it was not known if it was his real surname. This monk, surnamed Lu, was worshipped as a great sorcerer by the Chama tribe and instructed them to practice secrets. ”

"Where are these two guys?"

"I'll be locked up in my Dajun Cave and I'll hand it over to you, one is called Jing Tai and the other is Kuang Lin. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and take the people away, and I'll ask you if this person, surnamed Lu, is on the list of missing monks. This monk surnamed Lu has lived in the Chama Department for four years, has he left anything behind?"

"I went to inspect it myself, and it was very clean, leaving no clues. It should be said that in the four years he was in Yanggong Mountain, he did not live with the people of the Chama tribe at all, and he did not know where he lived on weekdays. It only occasionally appears, instructing the tribal shamans to practice, or to manifest a saint. No one knows where he lives. ”

"He who goes strangely will have strange things. I'll check it out. ”

"How many missing monks are there in the East Pole Pavilion, has the scope been reduced?"

"There are also forty-two missing monks who have not been able to determine whether they are related to the Jing Zhiwu case. ”

Zhao Ran sighed: "I hope this set of serial knives can help us solve this unsolved case." Senior Brother Li, it has been ten years since Zhang Yunzhao was stabbed in prison...... I can't let him die without turning a blind eye......"

Dongfang Li left the Hongyuan Guard Palace that night and went to the Dajun Cave Heaven, where Zhao Ran flew to the fairy of the Toad Palace and asked her to hand over Jing Tai and Kuang Lin to Dongfang Li.

The next day, Pei Zhongze took Dongfang Jing around the camp and the surrounding area, and handed over the battle array weapon and Yiying file to Dongfang Jing, and Dongfang Jing officially took up his post. The first thing he did after taking office was to let go of the riverbank and let the Xixia Calligraphy and Painting Brush Association exchange group set foot on the land of the Red Plains.

There are a total of seven people in the Xixia exchange group this time, and the leader is still Mingjue, and there is also a little monk Yangfan who Zhao Ran is familiar with in the exchange group.

"Master Yangfan is also here, I haven't seen him for a year, haha. ”

"Yes, there are a lot of people who want to come to the PEN meeting, and the number of places is very tight, and it is not easy to come once. The little monk came this time, in addition to brushing the scriptures...... Outside the Junshan Temple, I also want to visit several palaces of your faction, such as the Four Temples, the Doumu Palace, the pulpit, etc., and I also want to borrow a few Taoist scriptures, I don't know if Zhao can be accommodating. ”

"Let's go to Dajun Mountain first, and let's go back and take a closer look. ”

In addition to the little monk Yangfan, Zhao Ran is familiar with another one, but it is a very famous painter in Western Xia, Dongwuzi from Yinzhou.

The painter participated in the exhibition of calligraphy and painting held by the lord of Rou'an, and later a number of paintings were sold at high prices at the special auction of Jinbo calligraphy and painting, and Zhao Ran met him many times when he wore the mask of "Cheng Dongjia".

But at this time, he was a mountain guest, not a Cheng Dongjia, so he could only pretend not to know, but Dongwuzi had admired the name of the "mountain guest" for a long time, took the initiative to come forward to salute, and took Zhao Ran's hand to express his admiration.

Zhao Ran was stunned, and then put the note he stuffed into his sleeve, and said enthusiastically: "Poor Dao also knows the name of the distinguished guest, and we have a fate to meet today. ”

Tobuko stroked the three strands of beautiful hair and laughed: "Where do you dare to learn from the word, I came to Daming to ask for advice." ”

Zhao Ran said: "Your guests are really polite, there is also a very clever painter in my Dajun Cave Tian, surnamed Yang, and we will communicate together when the time comes." ”

After meeting with these people, Zhao Ran said goodbye to Dongfang Jing and Ning Deshou, led the way first, and came to Dajun Mountain.

A group stayed in the heavens and earths, except for Mingjue and Yangfan, the other five people were the first time to enter this kind of Taoist cultivation cave, and everything they saw was novel, and they were shocked by the luxury of heaven and earth and the two spirit demons of the welcome pine and the horse gong, and they didn't care about the side, they spread out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and started painting on the spot.

Especially Dongwuzi, he was already specialized in depicting characters, and he was amazed after seeing the two spirit demons, and immediately paid out of his own pocket after Xiaoyi's inquiry, and at the price of fifty taels of silver, he invited the two spirit demons to cooperate, and made a picture of a squirrel welcoming guests immediately.

Mingjue found a gap and pulled Zhao Ran aside, and said directly: "The 'high transfer transfer' that the Dao Chief said last time is still effective?"

Zhao Ran didn't react for a while, and asked, "What is the high transfer?"

Mingjue took out a boxy piece of yellow paper from his arms: "Junshan stocks." ”

Zhao Ran then remembered that on the way back from the Western Xia envoy, Mingjue had spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy twenty shares of Junshan stock from Jueyuan in front of himself, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter?

Mingjue said: "I made an appointment with the shopkeeper Liang the year before last, and let ten shares go out, circulating in the market, but the price has not been able to rise. But since last year, with the continuous holding of the Junshan Calligraphy and Painting Brush Meeting, Junshan's fame began to slowly start in Xingqing Mansion, and with the name of the mountain guest, the stock began to rise. Do you know how much a share is worth now? At the Jinbo auction last month, Gao Yanei tried to sell two shares, and they were sold for 160 taels!"

Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but say: "The name of the Junshan PEN Club, Master, this Junshan is the cave heaven of Dajun Mountain, and Junshan shares are two different things, and the Junshan of Junshan shares is Xiaojun Mountain in Guyang County." ”

Mingjue said: "Didn't you promise to open a Junshan share in Dajun Mountain at that time?"

Zhao Ran still recognized Mingjue, embarrassed to pit him, and said honestly: "I have been busy with government affairs in Hongyuan in the past few years, and I have been negligent in this regard......"

Mingjue asked, "Is that it not open?"

Zhao Ran said: "Junshan Pharmaceutical has made progress, there are already two medicinal gardens in Dajun Mountain, but they are still in the cultivation period, there is no output, you also know the medicinal materials, ordinary medicinal materials are easy to say, but the elixir and spiritual grass are more difficult, and there are no results in five or eight years." ”

Mingjue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, at least in the future! What about the Junshan Ceramics Workshop and the Timber Workshop? What about the 20,000 acres of Junshan fields you contracted?"

Zhao Ran said embarrassedly: "Negligence, negligence, the two workshops have not moved to Hongyuan, as for the contracted fields, there are some benefits, but they are all invested in the development of the medicine garden in Dajun Mountain." ”

Mingjue was speechless for a moment, and said after a while: "Abbot Zhao, we can't speak better than sing, if we want to speculate on stocks, we still have to do something to show the article." ”
