Chapter 5 Take the initiative to repay the money
As soon as he heard Du Ziteng mention "The Legend of the Immortals", Zhao Ran secretly said in his heart.
"The Legend of the Immortals" is written by Du Guangting, the fax master who ascended six hundred years ago, telling the story of mortals in the mundane world meeting immortals, supporting the existence of immortals, and is an important pillar supporting the world's Daomen theory edifice, which has been included in the Taoist collection.
When Zhao Ran was studying scriptures in Wuji Academy, he knew that this set of books was divided into five volumes, written during Du Guangting's thirty years in Sichuan Province, and the original set of manuscripts was extremely precious and now stored in the Zongguan Zangjing Pavilion. What is preserved in Wuji Temple is a revised version of his Qing Dynasty in Wuji Mountain, and I don't know how many times it was changed, but it was preserved after the change.
Such a valuable relic was taken by Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran as a gift back then, just to protect Wuji Courtyard and do the same thing, which is quite tangled to say. If it weren't for the fact that Daomen didn't have the concept of "protecting cultural relics", Zhao Ran really wouldn't dare to ask Song Zhiyuan to do such a thing.
Now that this set of "Immortal Feelings" is in the hands of Bai Duguan of Xizhenwu Palace, how should he explain it to Elder Du?
I only heard Du Ziteng say: "The world only knows, this set of manuscripts has a total of five volumes, in fact, in recent years, I have flipped through the ancestors' narratives, and found that the five volumes collected in the Wuji Courtyard are probably not simple revisions, and many of the descriptions in them may be the sequels of the ancestors' later periods, so if you want to see the truth, please also ask for help." ”
It turns out that there is such a secret, if it is really as Elder Du said, the five volumes of "The Legend of the Immortals" are not a revision but a sequel, it is too valuable. Between the lightning and flint, Zhao Ran didn't have time to give a clear and unambiguous answer, but said, "Elder Du, don't worry, the disciple will ask about this matter after returning to Wuji Academy." ”
Du Ziteng said: "Then I bother you to help take a look, if you can, I still want to retrieve the relics of the ancestors, whatever the requirements of the Wuji Courtyard can be put forward, if I can do it, I will definitely do my best." Of course, if it's really inconvenient, it's not easy to force it, so we cultivators will let everything take its course. ”
Zhao Ran nodded and agreed, Elder Du is also a master, he said both the positive and negative sides, and said that "I don't force it", but I must listen carefully if I am obedient.
Elder Du said so much, there are two important points in his words, one is "the relics of the ancestors", which occupies a high moral point, and the other is "really inconvenient", what can be "really inconvenient"?
After separating from Elder Du, Zhao Ran was blocked by Song Yuqiao on the way back to the Spirit Sword Pavilion from the Huode Star Monarch Palace.
"Senior Brother Zhao, why did you enter the Yellow Crown so quickly?"
"Senior Sister Song, haha, what, the Tao is natural, I don't know either, I broke through the realm in a daze. ”
Song Yuqiao was unhappy: "Senior Brother Zhao, can't you talk well?"
Zhao Ran said: "I'm sorry, senior sister, but I broke through the realm like this......"
Song Yuqiao shook his head angrily: "Forget it, if you break the realm, you will break the realm, but I still remind you that if you break through the realm in retreat in the future, it is best to ask your heart, one is stable, no one disturbs, and there are elders in the same family to take care of you when something goes wrong, so you can have no worries; ”
Zhao Ran hurriedly thanked him: "Senior Sister Lao is worried." ”
"In addition, my master's injuries have healed, and she said that she wanted to thank Cheng An, but Senior Sister Zhou said that she had already thanked her, so we don't have to worry about it anymore, aren't you and Cheng An on good terms? Master asked me to ask your opinion again. ”
Zhao Ran was uncomfortable, his face was a little feverish, and he said, "Well, I heard, well, I heard that, it seems that Senior Sister Zhou has thanked her, so you don't have to worry about this Uncle Lin anymore." ”
Song Yuqiao nodded and said, "In this case, if Cheng An has any difficulties, you can come to me to ask about Qinggu, and you can help us inform him." ”
"This is no problem, I must convey it!"
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuqiao said again: "I have something to tell you......"
"Senior sister, please speak. ”
"I'll tell you straight...... Can you help me get in touch with Cheng'an?"
Zhao Ran was stunned: "What do you mean, senior sister?"
"He has an IOU of 100,000 taels in his hand, which was signed by Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain, but in fact, it was to save me in Xia Kingdom, and this silver should not have been given by Senior Brother Zhang. You help me tell him that the silver is what I owe, and I will find a way to pay it back. But I can't give him back all at once, give me a few years, and slowly return ......."
"Is this what Senior Sister herself meant, or is that Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain meant?"
"It has nothing to do with Senior Brother Zhang, I haven't seen him for a year, and I don't have any contact. This is my own meaning, anyway, you help me contact him, or simply tell me his contact information, and I will talk to him directly. Okay?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while: "Cheng An not only does business in the Xia Kingdom, but also often travels back and forth between Tubo and the Western Regions, and travels all year round, to be honest, I can't find him, usually he takes the initiative to contact me." But the matter of the senior sister is not a big deal, although Cheng An is a businessman, but he is not obsessed with gold and silver, he told me the inside story here, it has nothing to do with the senior sister, and the senior sister's silver will be exempted. ”
Song Yuqiao looked at Zhao Ran with a squint: "What a big breath, 100,000 silver, you said that if you are exempted, you can be exempted?" and asked: "What does it mean that it has nothing to do with me?
Zhao Ran explained: "The amount of money that Senior Sister said, Cheng An has already entrusted me with carte blanche to deal with it. However, according to Cheng An, this silver is the business of Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain, although it was caused by saving Senior Sister, the main reason is not for this, it is a festival between Cheng An and Senior Brother Zhang, and it has nothing to do with Senior Sister. I have already negotiated a solution with Longhushan for this IOU, so senior sister will leave it alone!"
Song Yuqiao was stubborn: "How can you call it that it has nothing to do with me? The matter started because of me, and I will have to pay back this money! Unless you find out Cheng An and tell me face to face, this girl will always remember his saving grace all day long, and she can't sleep well, and she can't pass this pass in her heart, and she also delays her cultivation!"
Zhao Ran was speechless: "What is the senior sister going to do?"
Song Yuqiao asked, "You can't contact him now?"
Zhao Ran spread his hands: "There is really no way to do this!"
Song Yuqiao stared at him and said suspiciously, "What about the flying talisman?"
"Senior sister, Cheng An is a businessman who has not yet entered the cultivation, I want to send him a talisman, and he must also have the ability to collect it......!
"Only by believing in you can you have ghosts!" Song Yuqiao sneered.
Zhao Ran hurriedly shouted injustice: "The conscience of heaven and earth, senior sister ......"
Song Yuqiao said: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, don't say it! In short, I have to pay back this money, and if I don't pay it back, I don't have a good idea." As for the matter between you and Senior Brother Zhang of Longhu Mountain, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care about it. ”
"Senior sister, you really don't need to ......"
Zhao Ran was still waiting to be persuaded, so he saw Song Yuqiao take out a silver ingot from his sleeve and throw it to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran subconsciously took it and checked it in his hand, this is a silver ingot of five taels, so he smiled and said: "Senior sister is too polite, I still give a reward for this little thing." It's all so familiar, everyone looks up and doesn't see what they look down, how embarrassed......"
"What kind of reward, what am I rewarding you for?" only heard Song Yuqiao say: "This is the first amount of silver that this girl returned to Cheng'an, and I put it away, and I forgot to ask him to issue a receipt to this girl!"
What the hell? I owe 100,000 taels of silver, and I have to write a receipt for the first repayment of five taels?
Zhao Ran couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Senior sister, can we stop making trouble?"
Song Yuqiao raised her eyebrows: "This girl doesn't have much money! It's good if you're willing to pay it back, but you're still too little?"
Well, Zhao Ran can't afford to provoke you, so he hurriedly came down: "Okay, okay, I will write you a receipt immediately after receiving the five taels of silver owed." ”
"That's not good, the receipt you wrote doesn't count, I'm going to be An!"
"That's a wait......
"Don't worry, I'll wait!"
It was easy to get out of Song Yuqiao's side, Zhao Ran wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that this non-peer senior sister was really getting more and more difficult.
