Chapter 43: Self-defeating
Zhao Ran's rhetoric about his own cultivation has already slipped through the cracks, and he is almost instinctive.
Song Zhiyuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Indeed, as the junior brother said, Long'an Mansion is not very easy to talk about now. Dong Zhikun, the supervisor in the county, has a deep enmity with you, Du Tenghui and Xu Tenglong in the house, needless to say, they rarely come to Xuanyuan Temple, occasionally come over, and when they see me, they treat it as if they ......haven't seen me."
Zhao Zhixing interjected with the side: "Those two came to our Sichuan Province from Lushan Qiang, relying on their solid background, not to mention the senior brother of the patrol, even Sandu and even Li Jian Yuan, they are not respectful!"
Song Zhiyuan said: "That's not it, it's just that there is always a sense of alienation." Having said that, it's been a month since Luo Duguan passed away, and I haven't seen the latest appointment of Xizhenwu Palace, and I don't know how those two calculated, but it's impossible to consider you. ”
Zhao Ran nodded: "The feud is too deep." ”
At that time, Zhao Ran weakly rejected Du Tenghui's sentence "I have objections" in front of the Taoist priests of the Wuji Academy, which finally made Abbot Du lose face and lose his prestige, and had to leave Guyang County in disgrace.
Song Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, let's not talk about Baoning Mansion...... Now the Ziyang Palace Prison of Tongchuan Mansion is Jingzhimo, and you said that you want to go to Tongchuan Mansion...... But you've already passed through his anger?"
Hearing that it was Jing Zhimo, Zhao Ran immediately remembered that when he met Zhang Yunzhao, the person who was less than forty years old sitting next to Zhang Prison had an ordinary appearance and bright eyes. This gentleman was once Zhang Yunzhao's confidant, and was recognized as the most promising young Taoist priest in the entire Sichuan Province. It's just that I heard later that because of Zhang Yunzhao's death, the resentment was implicated in himself and Song Zhixing.
At the moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "Why is he? Sure enough, it is very promising, when will he go to Tongchuan? I don't know ......."
Song Zhiyuan said: "I've been there for almost three years. ”
Zhao Ran nodded: "No wonder, Dong Zhikun has always dealt with me, and it is even more impossible to inform me of the transfer of the Foreign Mansion." That being the case, Tongchuan Mansion is forgotten, and the Jingjian Yuan has prejudices against me, and they wanted to punish me severely back then. ”
Song Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Indeed, the death of Zhang Jianyuan has always been a lump in his heart, his temperament has changed a lot in the past two years, I heard that when he was in Tongchuan Mansion, there was a master surnamed Meng who mentioned Zhang Jianyuan in front of him, and later he was beaten with an excuse. ”
At the mention of Zhang Yunzhao's death, the three of them were a little silent, and after a while, Song Zhiyuan cheered up and said with a smile: "Tongchuan Mansion is not easy to go, then you can come to my Baoning Mansion." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it...... Hmm, senior brother, what are you ......?" Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Zhixing was also surprised: "Patrol, are you going to Baoning Mansion?"
Song Zhiyuan said: "It's all from Wuji Academy, I just mentioned it in front of the two of you, don't spread it." Prison Li came to me a few days ago, and Liu Prison Yard of Baoning Mansion was not in good shape, and he had already written to say that Yunhe Prison was going to let me take care of the affairs over there. Of course, it is not accurate to make it if it does not fall on the white paper, and it is not necessary that there will be changes after a few days. ”
That being said, will the leader talk to you if he is not sure? The matter of Song Zhiyuan going to Baoning Mansion to serve as the first palace supervisor can almost be regarded as a certainty if there are no special circumstances.
I didn't expect to encounter such a surprise as soon as I came to Xuanyuanguan, Zhao Ran couldn't help but sigh if he was too lucky, and hurriedly raised his glass with Zhao Zhixing: "Senior Brother Hexi!" Although they are all horizontal transfers, one is in charge of eating, drinking and Lazar in the view, and the other is going to the place to be alone, which is better, it is self-evident, this is called flat reuse, of course, it is gratifying.
After dinner, Song Zhiyuan personally accompanied Zhao Ran to Yunshui Hall in the view to place an order, with him, the eight deacons of Xuanyuan Guan, and Zhao Zhixing, the head of the guest hall who was in charge, personally handled it, so he naturally picked the best set of single-family courtyards to live in. Of course, Brother Zhao Ran's identity is there, even if he doesn't use these two as companions, Xuanyuanguan can't treat him badly. Along with Zhike, who is one of the eight deacons, Zhao Zhixing's immediate boss also rushed over after hearing the news and said a lot of good things.
The reason why Zhao Ran didn't leave overnight was because after listening to Song Zhiyuan, Li Yunhe Prison knew about him, and Li Jian Yuan also commented that he was "a person who does things". Zhao Ran was a little "flattered" by this and wanted to see if there was a chance to meet.
Don't look at Li Jianyuan, he is not a cultivator, but an out-and-out vulgar way. But the vulgar way has reached his level, in charge of all the Taoist affairs in the ten jungles of the province, and holds the fate of millions of people, no matter how vulgar the vulgar way is, it is not vulgar. Even if he is a monk in the pavilion, if he is not at the realm of a refiner or above, it is really not easy to meet him.
After saying nothing all night, early the next morning, he went to the back mountain of Xuanyuan Temple to worship the tomb of the old abbot Shi Yuncheng, and then returned to Yunshui Hall to wait. waited until noon before Song Zhiyuan came over. Song Zhiyuan put the small porcelain bottle with three Heart Nourishing Pills on the table, shook his head and said, "Supervisor Li didn't want it." He said that he accepted your heart, and he did not lack these ......"
confiscating things is not a good sign, but Song Zhiyuan's next words made him very confused.
Song Zhiyuan later conveyed Zhao Ran's intention to meet with Li Jianyuan, but Li Jianyuan did not agree, and his original words were "now is not the time".
Song Zhiyuan proposed in the next conversation that he wanted Zhao Ran to go to Baoning with him, find a county below, and start with one of the three capitals. If Song Zhiyuan really went to Baoning Mansion to be the supervisor of the Dao Palace, this should be within his purview, but he didn't expect that the Li Prison Yuan did not agree. Supervisor Li's original words were, "You guys, the pattern should be enlarged a little." ”
The two sat opposite each other, both silently experiencing this sentence. After a long time, Song Zhiyuan said: "Forget it, don't think too much, in short, I feel that Prison Li still values you very much, don't worry, even if it doesn't work out this time, there will be a chance next time." ”
Zhao Ran really didn't expect such a result, last night he still won the position of the three capitals of a certain county in Baoning Prefecture, but because of the disapproval of the Li Prison Yuan, he was in the soup. How can you not be in a hurry? I am about to face the threshold of breaking the mirror, and if I don't upgrade, I won't be able to get the second chapter of the Innate Merit Sutra, and how can I break through the realm without exercises.
For a moment, Zhao Ran even regretted a little, he shouldn't have asked to see Prison Li, he was really too much, and it was self-defeating!
Although he was unhappy, he had to deal with it normally on his face, so he smiled and said, "Wufang, wait for a chance in the future." By the way, Senior Brother, I also prepared a bottle of Heart Nourishing Pill for you, but since the prison said that he was not lacking, you can take this bottle. I was also a little reckless last time, and I gave you the pill directly, without explaining the usage. For non-cultivators, if swallowed whole, the effect of the medicine is too strong, so it is better to soak it in wine and drink it slowly. ”
Song Zhiyuan said with a smile: "What's the use of you, my family's unconscious niece, by the way, the one who is in the Huayun Pavilion with you, she also gave me a few grains before, I already knew." You can rest assured. ”
As soon as he heard Song Zhiyuan mention his niece, Zhao Ran's eyelids jumped, and a few words diverged, asking Song Zhiyuan to hand over the gift for Zhao Zhixing, and then said goodbye and went down the mountain.
