Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran gained a lot from this trip to Lishan. In addition to the income in money and magical weapons, because he solved two murderous cases in a massacre and killed his family, his merits and virtues were greatly increased, which increased his magic power.  The upper limit has been significantly improved.  It's just that this kind of increase will not last, it is one-time, so it is still not as good as the steady stream of merit brought to him by the people of Junshan.

    Sometimes Zhao Ran also thinks that it would be great if he could often receive a few cases, which would be of great benefit to his practice.  Therefore, when riding back on the old donkey, he would pay attention from time to time to see if there was any "white light" flying from the sky.  It's a pity that the "white light" has not been cut off, but none of it was sent by Brother Dongfang or Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo. They were all sent by Rong Niang.  Doing the math, dozens of flying talismans were consumed for the reconstruction and expansion of the Immortal Lord Garden.

    Seeing that the thick stack of flying talismans given to him by Rong Niang was being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye, Zhao Ran felt really distressed. Later, he couldn't help but discuss with Rong Niang, saying that if he continued like this, the flying talisman would be used up, could he still use it?  Have you been happily friends together?

    That night, while Zhao Ran was sleeping in the mountains, he saw a white light suddenly coming from the distance, but it was not a flying talisman.  This white light turned into a huge lily, slowly blooming in front of Zhao Ran's eyes.  After Lily opened it, a woman stepped out, stared at Zhao Ran with a half-smile, and said, "If you give me some more money, it will be all spent. If you don't give me the money, I won't be able to pay it out."

    Zhao Ran was dumbfounded: "Sister, five thousand taels of silver have been lost by you? How did you spend it, sis? It's enough to build a new garden!"

    Rong Niang stretched out her hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense and pay quickly. What do you care about how I spend my money? What I want to build is a garden for people to live in, not a shabby house for cats and dogs. Five thousand taels is not enough! The project is coming to an end.  , there¡¯s still two thousand left, so move more quickly!¡±

    Zhao Ran was still waiting to appeal, but he saw Rong Niang glared: "No? If you don't give it to me, I will leave. You can clean up the dilapidated garden yourself!"

    Zhao Ran took a deep breath and thought that if this girl really wanted to give up and leave, not only would the garden not be completed, but she would probably complain to Senior Brother Dongfang, Rich Master Shen, and Senior Brother Pei, which would make him look like a stingy miser.  After thinking about it, he had to suppress his unwillingness and handed over two thousand silver notes.

    Rong Niang collected the banknotes, snorted, and threw them away, and another stack of flying talismans fell into Zhao Ran's hands.

    Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, his face finally softened, and he said: "Ms. Rong is so generous, but to be honest, you have to use it sparingly. It is not easy to refine this thing."

    Rong Niang rolled her eyes at Zhao Ran: "You are so petty!"

    When Zhao Ran got the flying talisman, he was open-minded. How could he care about it like Rong Niang? He turned to look at the huge lilies and asked, "Rong Niang, isn't this the legendary flying magic weapon?"

    Rong Niang said: "This is my sister's cloud lily, isn't it beautiful?"

    Zhao Ran clicked his tongue in admiration, walked around Lily a few times, and said, "Rong Niang, you even have a flying magic weapon, why are you here to blackmail a poor guy like me?"

    Rong Niang said: "Sister never brings those yellow and white vulgar things, for fear of being polluted, can't you? The garden is yours, if you don't spend money, who will pay for it? Sister builds the garden for you, but you are still full of complaints. Next time,  Sister, just leave!"

    Zhao Ran gathered around Lily, tapped the shell with his fingers, listened to the echo, and said: "Yes, yes, it's all mine, isn't it What kind of material is this thing made of? It looks like jade, but it sounds  It¡¯s not likewhere is the magic circle cloud seal engraved"

    While thinking about it, Rong Niang unexpectedly stepped into Lily and said: "Sister, let's go!" Lily closed suddenly, suddenly rose up, turned into a white light and flew away quickly, shocking Zhao Ran to take three steps back.

    Zhao Ran looked at the white light that was passing away in the distance, and muttered to the old donkey who was also looking at him: "Cloud lily? Such a big breath, can you climb up into the clouds? I'm not afraid of blowing off your tongue."

    Old Donkey: ""

    There was nothing to say that night, and we continued on our way the next day.

    After leaving Tongchuan Prefecture, go northwest along the Zitong River, pass through the junction of Chengdu Prefecture and Baoning Prefecture, and then enter Jiangyou County, Long'an Prefecture.  Continuing to travel northwest, you will reach Guyang County.

    After walking along the official road for most of the day and bypassing the south of Guyang County, we saw Wuji Mountain.  It has been almost a year since he left Wuji Mountain, and Zhao Ran has never gone back once during this time. Standing at the foot of the mountain, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

    The market at the foot of the mountain is still the same, but because of Zhao Ran's departure, it is obviously more depressed than before.  When Zhao Ran came to Jinji's store, he saw several guys inside carrying goods in and out. He didn't bother him. When the guys were free for a while, he asked: "Excuse me, is shopkeeper Jin here?"

    Several guys turned around and looked over, and one of the old guys immediately shouted: "?Taoist priest!  Zhao Miao wishes!  "

    Zhao Ran saw that his face was vaguely familiar, but he didn¡¯t know his name, so he smiled and said, ¡°Is shopkeeper Jin here?¡±

    The waiter immediately brought a chair and asked Zhao Ran to sit down. He also asked several other people to help. Those who served tea served tea and those who led the donkey led the donkey. The shop suddenly became busy.  The waiter apologized and walked back. After a while, shopkeeper Jin lifted the curtain of the back door and said happily: "Why is Zhao Miaozhu here? If you have anything to do, just send someone to give me an order. Or I can go to Junshan. Why bother?"  You're welcome, old man."

    Zhao Ran said warmly: "Shopkeeper Jin, there is no need to be polite, we are old friends I am coming back from Tongchuan Mansion this time, and I stopped by your place to have a look. I have something else I need your help with."

    "Zhao Miao wishes you to speak."

    "It is now the end of autumn, and winter is about to begin in a blink of an eye. The people of Junshan have only moved there for a year, and each household does not have much clothing to keep out the cold. I want you to buy some cotton cloth, so that everyone can at least sew it.  A piece of cotton clothingwell, as well as the fabric needed for cotton shoes, just buy it according to the number of people in Junshan plus 30%. Can you calculate how much silver it will cost?"

    Shopkeeper Jin praised: "The temple blessing is really a living god, the people of Junshan are blessed." He took the abacus and started fiddling with it quickly.  After a moment, he calculated a number and said: "A total of about four hundred and twenty taels are needed, no more than thirty taels. The specifics will depend on how the actual purchase is negotiated."

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and then said: "Buy some more iron basins and tin cans, four hundred each."

    Shopkeeper Jin asked: "Do you have any requirements?"

    Zhao Ran shook his head: "As long as it can heat the soup."

    Shopkeeper Jin said: "If this is the case, you can just buy some pottery basins and pots and let the villagers in Lijia Village bake them. In such a large quantity, iron materials are difficult to buy and much more expensive."

    Zhao Ran said: "Then one hundred iron basins, three hundred clay basins, and four hundred clay pots."

    Shopkeeper Jin started fiddling with the abacus again. In fact, he already knew it when he heard it. But he was used to using an abacus, so he came up with the number in an instant and handed it to Zhao Ran: "Two hundred and sixty taels, the iron basin accounts for the majority."

    Zhao Ran nodded, took out 700 taels of silver notes and handed them to shopkeeper Jin, making an appointment to deliver them to Junshan as soon as possible, and then got ready to leave.

    When I was about to leave, I saw a group of people gathered around the trail at the foot of Wuji Mountain opposite. It was a mess and I didn¡¯t know what they were doing.  Shopkeeper Jin laughed and said, "Do you still remember the Taoist priests?"

    Zhao Ran was stunned: "How do you say that?"

    Shopkeeper Jin said: "I don't know if the Taoist priests really owed money and refused to pay it back, or if they were blackmailed. No, there are people who go to the foot of the mountain all day long to complain."

    "Crying about injustice?"

    "Yeah, I don't know which boy said that the Taoist priests didn't pay back the money. I sent people down from the mountain to take care of it several times, but every time the boy turned around and ran away. But don't mention it, he is really a thief.  He was so tight that Director Fangtang Jiang personally led people to catch him, but he managed to escape and was never caught. Later, several officers from the Yamen came, but they couldn't catch him, so he just held up a sign at the foot of the mountain.  Wandering around. It¡¯s been half a month now, and it has already become a joke on the set.¡±

    After a pause, Shopkeeper Jin chuckled in a low voice and said: "To be honest with Temple Zhu, this young man is quite handsome. Everyone in the gathering said that he might be a rabbit raised by the Taoist priests before he entered the Taoist sect. He has eaten all of it."  But I didn¡¯t wipe it all off, and it ended up causing such a fuss, haha!¡±

    Zhao Ran was very surprised. All the disciples in his mind have entered the spiritual practice. Who is so bold as to come here to blackmail someone?  Could it be that Zhu Meng really owed a huge debt?  Furthermore, Zhu's family is a family of gentry. How much money do we have to owe to refuse to pay it back?  Or maybe Zhu Meng forgot about it after borrowing the money?  Well, very likely.  After thinking about it, Zhao Ran decided to help Zhumeng settle the matter. If he really owed money, he would pay it back for Zhumeng. If it was blackmail, hum

    Zhao Ran said to shopkeeper Jin: "Zhu Meng and I have the same friendship, so we can't just sit back and watch his reputation be ruined. Shopkeeper Jin will find someone to have a look and call the troublemaker over to talk. If we really owe money, we will  Pay it back for him."

    Shopkeeper Jin smiled and said: "Bless the temple for your kindness." Then he asked a waiter to go over and call someone.
