Zhao Ran had done this set of work in Xiaojun Mountain in Guyang County before, and he was very familiar with it, and the matter was explained clearly, together with the archmage Lin Zhijiao, all the Zongsheng Pavilion was dispatched, and according to the previous assignment, with the assistance of the Taoist priest of the White Horse Academy, they began to express their condolences in pieces.

God is also in response to the situation, and within two days of the Zongsheng Pavilion starting to offer great condolences, the snow began to fall. Heavy snow fell for seven days in a row, covering the grassland tightly. This winter, the people of Hongyuan really recognized the immortal masters of the Zongsheng Pavilion and remembered them in their hearts.

After more than half a month of continuous fatigue, the monks of the Zongsheng Hall gathered together again.

After some calculation, everyone was overjoyed, this is really an "uncultivated" land, and the harvest is rich!

Zhao Ran said: "I found a qualified root bone here, it is the child of the Ren family, and there are two who have no root bone but have qualifications, but they are a little younger, if you want to correct the root bone, how can it be three years later." ”

Lin Zhijiao was very pleased: "Zhiran, I also found three, two girls and one boy, and I wrote them down." Let's talk about it first, that girl surnamed Lu entered my love valley, don't rob me of Louguan. ”

Zhao Ran laughed: "How can it? Interrogation and Louguan are all one family, regardless of each other, not from each other, haha!"

This method of collecting disciples through a sieve is also the first of its kind by Zhao Ran, and there is basically no omission, Song Yuqiao, Yu Zhichuan, and Zheng Yutong have also found their own discoveries, and when it was Luo Zhiqing's turn, he was even more simply, and after a while, he went out directly and brought a young man back: "My disciple." ”

Zhao Ran was very surprised, Luo Zhiqing was actually willing to accept the apprentice? Hurriedly looked at the young man, and saw that he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, neatly dressed, and very wealthy, but his eyes were a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Ran was taken aback, and hurriedly checked, but found that this kid's qualifications were good, although they were not as good as Qu Fenghe and Qu Fengshan, nor were they as perfect as the two of Feng Tang's qualifications, but they were also rare. But what does this stupid look mean?

Zhao Ran asked, "What is your child's surname, and where is it from?"

After asking three times, the young man seemed to have just heard it, freed himself from an inexplicable state, let out a sigh of relief, and said to Luo Zhiqing: "Teacher, I understand!" After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhiran and the others in front of him in a daze, at a loss.

Luo Zhiqing nodded and said with a smile: "It's good to understand." These are your uncles and uncles, well, and Master Lin. It's not too late to admit it later, go, go back to the mountain. He took the boy and floated away.

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

This time, a total of six teenagers with complete qualifications and bones were collected, and eighteen teenagers with qualifications and no roots, which is quite good.

Those with six qualifications can directly enter the Zongsheng Pavilion to practice, and two of the girls were all taken away by the Asking Valley, Zhao Ran has no objection to this, after all, there are only three generations of disciples in the Asking Valley, and there are only two female disciples of the Du family who are preparing the bones, which is indeed too little, and it is also appropriate to add two. When there are more disciples in the future, there will be Kun Dao here in Louguan to bring female disciples - for example, the senior brother Shuangxiu will come back with a sister-in-law, and it is not too late to consider accepting a few female apprentices.

The remaining eighteen teenagers were all admitted to the White Horse Academy, starting from the fire workers, and the outstanding ones entered the scripture hall as Taoist children in the coming year.

Of course, next year's Zhenggu Pill will be given to the female disciples of the Du family, and the year after next will be given to Zhao Hao, which has been scheduled for a long time, and they can only wait two years later.

Zhao Ran's plan is to do it every three or five years, batch by batch, to grow the Zongsheng Pavilion. Of course, the next time I choose a disciple, I can't help but work so hard, but there won't be so many disciples. However, after 20 years, not to mention the depth of cultivation, if you only talk about the scale, there should be some atmosphere of a regular pavilion.

This large-scale search for disciples is still quite energy-consuming, almost the entire Zongsheng Pavilion is exhausted, everyone is tired enough, it took half a month to get these disciples, it is not easy, even if it is the most profound cultivation of Master Lin, he continuously runs the exercises of checking the root bones dozens of times a day, and he is almost exhausted, and he struggles to support until the end, so he pulls the female cultivators under his door and hurriedly returns to the valley to retreat.

When Zhao Ran made all the arrangements, it was already under the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, Master Lin, Yu Zhichuan, Luo Zhiqing, and Song Yuqiao all went back to practice, and those who brought disciples took disciples, but Zhao Ran and Zheng Yutong continued to be busy, and the two encouraged each other, and each returned to the hospital, and then held the Zhaijiao ceremony.

In the first month of the 26th year of Jiajing, Zhao Ran continued to spend time in a busy situation, in addition to holding four Jiao festivals, he spent more time on the settlement of the victims after the heavy snowstorm, including repairing houses, repairing corrals, cleaning official roads, and other things. It is true that the merit has earned a lot, but it is really tiring.

Especially around the New Year's Day this year, Zhao Ran received a sudden increase in the variety of New Year's greeting talismans, which made him spend a thousand taels of silver to regain his refreshment, and he felt extremely painful when he thought about it.

In addition to himself, another big user of talismans is Yu Zhichuan, and Senior Brother Yu's flying talisman is used in a larger amount, which makes Zhao Ran grit his teeth very much. Fortunately, the Jiajing 25-year World Credibility Book issued by the General View was delivered to his hand in time, giving Zhao Ran great spiritual comfort.

In the 25th year of Jiajing, the credibility of the Songfan area continued to grow by a large margin, breaking through the target of 1.2 million gui set three years ago in one fell swoop, reaching 1.58 million gui, an increase of more than 60 percent, and thus finally throwing off the hat of the last place in the province and squeezing directly to the seventeenth place!

The credibility value of the White Horse Temple has almost doubled to 630,000 gyu, and it continues to maintain the top position among the four counties in the Songfan region; Songfan County has grown well this year, reaching 390,000 gyu, ranking second; Kamejuin has 310,000 gyu, ranking third; and because of Zhuang Yuqi's incoming office and the unwillingness of the prison court, the credibility value has increased considerably, reaching 250,000 gyu.

Being able to reach 1.58 million gui was a little unexpected by Zhao Ran, after all, it was almost a matter of the middle of the year to complete the replacement of the abbot in the three divisions of Hongyuan and the four courtyards of the Song Domain, and it should be the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing to really show the numerical advantage. But the result was so satisfying, it was a real surprise.

It can be inferred from this that since the 26th year of Jiajing, when everything is on the right track, the pace of growth will not be much slower, and it is conservatively estimated that it will not be a problem for the entire Song Domain to exceed 2 million. At that time, the usable credibility of the Zongsheng Hall will reach more than 1.2 million gui every year, which will basically meet the needs of the conferment.

From the twenty-third year of Jiajing to the present, the Zongsheng Pavilion has accumulated a total of 1.8 million guixin, and if it is hoarded for three or five years, at that time, even the rank below the rank of Great Refiner can be solved by itself.

In Zhao Ran's expectation, the credibility value of the Song Domain, which has more than 500,000 people, should not stop at 2 million gui, and then double to 4 million gui, which can make Zhao Ran initially satisfied.

If it can reach four million gui within five years, the credibility value that the Zongsheng Pavilion can use itself every year is two million gui, and fifteen years later, when the teacher Jiang Tenghe enters the realm of refining the void, he will not have to go to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to borrow his trust, and he will not repeat the scene of Huayun Pavilion Confucius Shizu joining the Jade Emperor Pavilion for the sake of the Gong position.
