Hearing that Yu Zhiyuan got his wish and was promoted to one of the eight deacon's rooms, the deacon of the guest hall, Zhao Ran couldn't help but rejoice. The deacon of the guest hall is called Zhike, and it is a very important function in the Taoist Academy, in addition to ushering in the send-off, he is also responsible for liaison and communication with the various palaces and courtyards of the Taoist Gate. At the same time, because he often deals with the world, in the hearts of believers, Zhike often represents the face of a Taoist Academy, and every word he says implies the opinions and propositions of the Taoist Academy, so the Taoist Academy is very strict in the selection of Zhike.

Among the eight deacons of the Daomen, the Jingtang Gaogong, the Ketang Zhike, and the Squatter Patrol are the most promising to be promoted to the prison office, which is a habitual practice that has been passed down for many years.

Yu Zhiyuan's promotion to Zhike means that this person has a bright future and a promising future. Of course, at least in the foreseeable future, Yu Zhiyuan will not be able to become a prison because he is too young. Thirty-two years old can be described as the prime of life, but from another point of view, compared with the thirty-eight-year-old Jiang Gaogong and the forty-five-year-old Song Xunzhao, it seems to be "slightly inferior", not to mention that he has just transferred, and in the absence of a great background and a strong background, it is absolutely extremely difficult to make a continuous jump.

and the honorable Zhao Ran specially wrote a couplet of "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly" and sent it to Yu Zhiyuan as a congratulatory gift. This way of congratulating Zhao Ran likes it the most, it doesn't cost silver, and it is more elegant than yellow and white vulgar things like gold and silver, why not?

Yu Zhiyuan, who received the gift, was also very happy to receive it, he took the couplet and played with it for a long time, and then his eyes reluctantly took it back and turned it to Zhao Ran.

"Senior Brother Yu, it's not too much to call you a guest now!" Zhao Ran congratulated with a hippie smile, this sycophant sentence does not show any traces, but it is quite useful, and it also vaguely says that there was a love relationship between the two back then, which is a magic weapon-level congratulatory message that Zhao Ran has practiced in the previous life, and the effect is excellent.

Yu Zhiyuan smiled faintly, remembering the scenes when Zhao Ran first entered Wuji Courtyard that day, and met him, and said with emotion: "It's been two years in a flash, and the years have passed like a gap." ”

"Yes, junior brother, I still have a lot of vision, and I have long foreseen my senior brother's joy today...... Hehe, senior brother, where have you been in the past few months? I heard that you went to the Xizhenwu Palace in the mansion to do business, why did it take so long? Senior brother, I have come to look for senior brother several times, but I have not been able to see you. ”

Yu Zhiyuan said: "Ordered by the West Zhenwu Palace, I went to White Horse Mountain and trained in front of the army. ”

Zhao Ran said curiously: "What's going on there now?" I only heard that the war is stalemate, and there are many dead and wounded...... and looked up and down around Yu Zhiyuan: "Senior Brother Zhike, you're not injured, are you?"

Yu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Where can you get lightly injured, the matter of fighting, you have your own soldiers to fight, fight with Buddhism, and have your own monks, I just do some fasting and Jiao rituals to answer some soldiers' doubts." I've been there a few times before the battle, but I don't need to go into battle. Besides, Taoist priests like us can't wield knives and guns, do we?"

The topic opened, and Yu Zhiyuan sank into his memories: "It's really tragic on the battlefield, in the more than three months I've been there, I've been there twice, and dozens of small battles, which one is not full of corpses...... On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the army snatched the slope valley of Baima Mountain, fought fiercely for a day and a night, and finally snatched it, and filled in more than 3,000 people from Xiaohewei, Yulong Qianhu, and Baima Qianhu, and finally only survived less than 700 people, 3 of 1000 households died, and more than 20 of 100 households died, and the snow in the valley was dyed blood-red, which made people's eyes hurt......"

“...... I have a world friend who is the general banner of Ye Xueguan, who was ordered to be transferred to the front of the army to serve, cut the fifth level in three months, and made many meritorious achievements. Du Si issued a military order, promoted him to 100 households, he told me, has been with Shangfeng agreed, after the promotion of 100 households, you can go back to Long'an Mansion, he is going to go back on the ninth day of the second month, and marry his childhood sweetheart's cousin into the door. On the eighth day of the second lunar month, he escorted the grain team to Duxikou, and when he returned, he was just a cold corpse ......"

“...... There was a very small archer, not yet sixteen years old, short and short, like a monkey. He joined the army to save food for his family so that his two younger brothers could eat more...... He would come to me every day before the camp to ask me about my morality, and he would ask me where I would go when I died in battle. I told him that after death, the gods enter the five realms, and those who commit the most heinous sins will either go to the mud and hell and suffer endless suffering, or turn into a lily and suffer from hunger; those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are afraid of incompetence will be transformed into animals; only those who strive to move forward can re-enter humanity and become the chief of all souls; if they reach the top of merit, they can ascend to the throne of heaven for thirty-three days. He said that God did not dare to ask for extravagance, he only wanted to be able to be a human being in the next life and continue to serve his mother...... The day before I left Hakuba Mountain, I heard that he was dead, and after killing two Xia people, I jumped off a cliff after being surrounded by Xia people......"

Speaking of emotion, Yu Zhiyuan burst into tears, and Zhao Ran also heard a breath of depression in his heart, which was difficult to relieve.

After a long time, Zhao Ran suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about the monks in those hidden places? Have they ever made a move?" I heard that the monks made a move, shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods, and the mountains and the earth ......cracked at every turn."

Yu Zhiyuan laughed and said: "Where is it so mysterious? If it is really a landslide, there is no need to fight this battle." The monks' spells are very strong, but not so far. In front of the battle, thousands of troops and horses, arrows rained down, no matter how strong the ability is, it is only ten enemies, a hundred enemies, a hundred and ten spears poked over, anyone has to avoid walking, thousands of arrows rain down, and the monks can't go straight to the front. Moreover, the monks who seek immortality are all desperate for their lives, and if they are not urgent, no one is willing to fight in front of the battle, otherwise they will be surrounded by a large army, and there will be only one word of death. ”

Zhao Ran remembered the experience of catching demons with Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo Dao Chang in Wutang that day, and confirmed it, and suddenly realized in his heart that the secret path had been poisoned by too many novels before, and it seemed that the monks were not omnipotent. Indeed, with the Dao Xing of the Great Zhuo Dao Chang Yellow Turban Warrior, or the ability of the Xiao Zhuo Dao Chang to throw fire talismans such as throwing paper, there is no problem in fighting ten at a time, and even against the enemy 100 people can win, but it is really not enough to see it in the midst of thousands of troops. As for someone as clever as Chuyang City, he has now understood that even if he is placed among the monks, it is very rare - he really hit the luck that day, and it is a pity that he can't worship under the gate of Chuyang City, what a pity in his life!

I only heard Yu Zhiyuan say again: "Although the monks are not lightly attacked, but when they really move, they are extraordinary. Our Hong Zhike died at the hands of Buddhist monks, and his whole body was turned into a demonic light by Buddhism, and he didn't even find the ashes.......

Zhao Ran had little impression of the original Deacon Hong, he had only seen it a few times, and he didn't know how to answer at the moment, after all, Yu Zhiyuan's position as a guest was obtained because Deacon Hong died in White Horse Mountain, and the proportions of answering the call were very difficult to grasp, so he was silent at the moment.

Yu Zhiyuan didn't mean to dwell on this issue, but said to Zhao Ran: "I only thought that Senior Brother Zhao was good at writing, but I didn't know that the ability to read the Bible was not weak.

Zhao Ran replied with a smile: "This has never been, the scriptures in the scripture collection building have been read through, and I have gone down the mountain to experience a lot of Dharma things, and I am very familiar with it, and I have never been in the first class in the monthly exam." ”

Yu Zhiyuan nodded: "That's good!By the way, I heard that you got the reward of Huayun Pavilion because of your service at the Daomen?"

Zhao Ran explained the situation of the day to Yu Zhiyuan in detail, and Yu Zhiyuan sighed: "It's a pity that you don't have roots, otherwise where do you still need to mess around in the world, and cultivate the Tao early to prove immortality, what a carefree way it is...... However, we should not get caught up in it, after all, this path will not work for us, it will be too energy-consuming, and it will delay the progress in the Daomen. Remember not to be ambitious, since you and I are in the jungle of the ten directions, don't expect too much about those things that are unattainable, put your mind into schoolwork, use it on scientific rituals, and work hard to do things for the Daomen, and achieve something in the future, so as not to miss the short ...... of this life."

As he spoke, Yu Zhiyuan suddenly shook his head and was silent.

Zhao Ran didn't know what was wrong with this senior brother, so he had to promise to answer. After a while, Yu Zhiyuan seemed to perk up again, and said with a smile: "I went to the pawn house to check the commendation submission issued to you by the Huayun Pavilion, this thing is wonderful! I have been promoted to a Zhike, and now there is still a lack of a door in the guest hall...... Although there are many people who are competing, but if you have this thing, I also have it. I don't know if you would like to come to the guest hall to help me, if so, I will find a proper opportunity and go to the prison to tell Chen?"

When Zhao Ran heard this, he was immediately surprised.

Thanks to Brother Yangzhigang for the reward.
