After a short time, the master and his disciples came to a small stream in the mountains, each holding a dharma weapon in his hand, and the master shouted: "Dig!" So the master and apprentice worked hard to dig a pit, and after half an hour, they dug a deep pit with each length and width and height.

The disciple took out the drip and carefully put it aside, and the master stepped forward to inspect it, and said while looking at it: "This drip must be debugged, and there must be no slight mistake." After the inspection, he ordered the apprentice to go to the stream to carry water: "Ten catties per barrel, no more, no less, look at the hour of the drip, pour ten buckets into it in a quarter of an hour, remember?"

The disciple replied, "I understand, Master!"

Everything was ready, and the master shouted: "Do it!" So the master and apprentice each had a wooden bucket, the apprentice poured water, and the master took the water, strictly following the time on the drip.

After tossing for about two hours, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, the apprentice suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, the disciple has made a mistake, and I ask the master to forgive me." ”

The master was stunned and asked, "What did you make a mistake?"

The apprentice's face was full of shame: "Master, the disciple can't remember clearly, I forgot that this is the first bucket of ......"

The master jumped to his feet suddenly, threw the wooden barrel over, smashed it on the apprentice, and said angrily: "If you just don't concentrate, you just don't concentrate, I have said before that you are a bad problem! If you don't concentrate on cultivation and carry water, do you want to be angry and become a teacher?"

After scolding and dissipating his anger a little, the master said earnestly: "Disciple, you must concentrate on cultivation, do you know why Zhao Xingxing came up with this topic?

"Yes, I understand...... So, Master, what now?"

"What else can I do? Put the water out and start over!"

"It's getting late, Master, do you want to come back tomorrow?"

"Disciple, do you know the second meaning of Zhao Xing's exit from this topic?

Not to mention that the spirit snake sent the master and apprentice to release the water and count it again, just to say that Zhao Ran was making various preparations for conferring Dabi in Junshan Temple.

In order to make full preparations, Zhao Ran specially asked the two Uncle Zhuo for advice on the number of casual cultivators who signed up for the last time they gave the Great Competition.

The two Uncle Zhuo served as Daomen Walkers for six years, and presided over two great competitions, one with 83 casual cultivators and the other with 78 people, among whom there were 21 and 25 monks above the Huangguan Realm who cultivated the Dan Fetus and the Golden Pill respectively.

After getting this number, Zhao Ran had a bottom in his heart and began to prepare according to the scale of twenty-five people participating in the big competition.

Zhao Ran planned to use the back garden of Junshan Temple as an examination room, with the pavilion as the center, arranging twenty-five sets of tables and chairs, and the pavilion was used as a place for several Daomen of the evaluation team to walk and rest and invigilate the examination, and the monks who referred to it wrote on the tables and chairs outside the pavilion.

The big score is two days, the first day of the morning written test, the afternoon marking, the next morning is still in the back garden interview, after the interview, the results will be announced in the afternoon, and the whole big competition will be over.

The monks can arrange to stay in the Yunshui Hall room of Junshan Temple that night, and Zhao Ran made it clear in the announcement that each person will be charged ten taels of silver for the examination fee, including room and board, materials and marking papers.

Twenty-five people participated in the big competition, but there were definitely more than so many people at the reception, the elders and brothers in the door, the parents of the family, relatives and friends, etc., it is estimated that there will be people who will accompany them, and some people who have not been to the Huangguan realm may also come to watch and explore the way for their future participation in the big competition.

As a result, Junshan Temple can't accommodate so many people. So Zhao Ran summoned Zhong Saburo and asked him to go to the village to mobilize the surrounding farmers to make a simple transformation of the home and make it a farmhouse.

Zhao Ran asked them to unify the charging standard, and the accommodation fee for each guest per day should not be less than 300 yuan, and they were not allowed to reduce one penny without authorization.

Now there is still more than a month before the day of Dabi, and Zhao Ran is not in a hurry, but he just called Wang Simu, a new recruit in the temple, and asked him to go to the Junshan wood workshop and order tables and chairs from the workshop.

In the autumn harvest season of the twentieth year of Jiajing, Jin Jiu took the Taoist priests and fireworkers of Junshan Temple directly to the fields. Wuse is because he has been working for a long time and is familiar with the situation, so he can be called a little expert in agriculture; Qingtian also took the initiative to help in the field, but it was purely due to personal interest, as soon as he did farm work, he was like a chicken blood, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep in a hurry.

With the help of two spirit demons, the harvest work of Junshan farmers was extremely smooth, and in late October, the entire autumn harvest was successfully completed, with an average yield of six stones per mu.

After the harvest, as usual, various Jiao festivals are held in Junshan Temple, praying for smooth weather and abundant harvests in the coming year, thanking God for their favor and Zhao Ran for taking care of this side of the water and soil.

In addition to the local Junshan area, the people from the rest of the Junshan Special Evangelism Area also spontaneously came to the Junshan Temple, and from this year, they also joined the ranks of providing meritorious power to Zhao Ran

At this time of year, it is also the day when Zhao Ran's merit soars, and this year, with the expansion of the Junshan Special Evangelistic Area, the growth phenomenon is particularly prominent. A lot of merit was put into the account, so much so that after Zhao Ran attended the important Jiao ceremony every day, he had to spend an extra quarter of an hour to refine the surging merit power.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhao Ran's basic merit power has increased from more than 10,000 people to more than 40,000 people, and his cultivation progress has begun to speed up significantly.

After the autumn harvest, the people can temporarily stop and relax for a while, but Zhao Ran can't be idle, his days are still very busy.

The reform of Qingmiaoqian, the Huimin Ji Medical Hall and the renovation of roads and canals are the three major projects for the development of people's livelihood in Guyang County in Zhao Ran's planning, which are currently being carried out in an orderly manner under the joint promotion of Liu Zhiguang, the supervisor of Wuji Yuan, and the Yakong County Zun.

Liu Zhiguang sent a document requesting instructions, saying that the entire Guyang County had been divided into five sub-districts, and that a bidding meeting would be held in the county seat on 20 December, at which large households in the county would bid for the loan qualifications of the Qingmiao money, and asked Zhao Ran "whether it was appropriate." Zhao Ran drew a circle and replied "yes".

After Chen Zhizhong took over the specific affairs of Huimin Ji Medical Hall, he was very positive, and he had already negotiated the expansion of the site of Huimin Ji Medical Hall, and bought the houses of two families next to him at a price of 120 taels of silver. The renovation of the entire medical hall is about to begin, and it is expected to be officially completed by March next year.

The route planning for the road and canal renovation project has been completed, and the recruitment notice in the Junshan area has also been issued, and the registration has been completed on the same day. So Zhao Ran went to Bai Shanjun and asked her to go to Taihua Mountain, and told the spirit demons in Taihua Mountain to report to Junshan quickly, and the volunteer activities were about to begin.

The day after Bai Shanjun went to Taihua Mountain, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman from Li Tengxin, who was walking at the Daomen of the Kuixing Pavilion in the capital, asking Zhao Ran if he knew a loose cultivator named Lin Zhibin.
