Chapter 71 Brother Dao, long time no see

Chapter 71 Brother Dao, long time no see

"Everything in the Lei Mansion has its own rules and regulations. You enter the office at dawn and leave at dusk. If you need to go out temporarily, you must ask for leave. Each month is divided into three periods, one period on and two periods off. However, if there is a shortage of manpower for field work, you can recruit people on leave. If someone is out for several months or longer, he can come back and exchange the order to take leave."

"When you go to the government office, you should focus on the affairs of the government office. The days of rest are the time to absorb and exhale spiritual energy, chase lightning and gather blood, temper your body, and refine treasures. Do you understand?"

Cheng Xinzhan bowed and said, "Disciple understands."

"But today is already the ninth day of the second lunar month. I have been in the court for the first half of the month, and I will have to take a day off after tomorrow. How about this? You take this book "Leifu Duties" and "Shenxiao's Method of Subduing Thunder Qi" back to read. These two books are introductory books that explain the operation of Yingyuan Palace and the swallowing of thunder qi. If you don't understand something, write it down. Five days later, you can come to the Yixin Tower in Guanshuangping, Shuji Mountain to find me. I will answer your questions and teach you the basics of thunder method. Next month, I will officially take you to the court and go out. What do you think?"

Taoist Master Jianxian took out two books from his room and handed them to Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan took it and said yes.

After receiving the book, he asked, "Excuse me, Master, do you know Taoist Jianping?"

Jian Xian heard this and said, "Of course I know him. Why are you asking this?"

"Master, my good friend He Bingkun from the same courtyard in Xiaowanshan is registered as a disciple of Taoist Jianping. I have been traveling for a while, and he has already opened a mansion before I left. He must have become a true disciple of Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion."

Jianxian smiled and nodded after hearing this, "I know who you are talking about, it's Jiyuan, right? Jianping is in the Ganlin Office of Penglai Division, they are on the fourth floor, you can go up and find them, you can get familiar with them, I won't take you there."

Cheng Xinzhan said yes and then took his leave.

The Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion was so vast that there was basically a staircase every hundred steps. He left the Zhuxie Office and found the nearest staircase to go up.

Yingyuan Mansion was a wooden building. Cheng Xinzhan couldn't tell what kind of wood it was made of. Copper decorations could be seen everywhere, including the stairs. The rings of growth on the wooden stairs were very beautiful, and the corners were covered with copper, showing the magnificence of the high-rise building everywhere.

He came to the fourth floor, which was the territory of Penglai Division. There were signs hanging on each government office, and he soon found the Ganlin Office.

He was waiting in front of the Ganlin Office, and soon someone from the office came up to him and asked him what was the matter.

Cheng Xinzhan said that he came to find He Jiyuan, whose common name was He Bingkun.

When the man heard this, he shouted to the office, "Jiyuan, someone is looking for you!"

A gruff voice answered from inside.

Soon, Cheng Xinzhan saw the big man.

"Yunqi!"

He Bingkun, now it would be more appropriate to call him He Jiyuan, saw Cheng Xinzhan and quickly stepped forward and picked him up like a child.

"When did you come back!"

Cheng Xinzhan quickly hammered his shoulder. This is Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion! How shameful!

After he was put down, he smiled and said, "I just got back. I came to see you."

He Jiyuan was obviously very happy. He said to Cheng Xinzhan, "Wait a minute!"

After saying that, Cheng Xinzhan saw him quickly run into the office again and talk to someone.

Then he ran out again and said, "Let's go, I've already asked for leave, let's have a good chat, you don't know, I have a lot of rules!"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled. He already knew and would follow these rules soon.

The two of them quickly left Yingyuan Mansion and came to the animal shed.

He Jiyuan released his thunderbird, and Cheng Xinzhan picked up the white dog.

"You went out and picked up a dog?" Cheng Xinzhan nodded with a smile.

"We have days for office work and days for rest in Yingyuan Mansion. I am in the mansion on days for office work, and in my own residence on days for rest. There is an Eighteen Slopes in the southeast of Shuji Mountain. We all live there. I am in Xiechen Tower at the easternmost end of Banyue Slope. You can come to find me next time. But we are not going now. Let's go to Dujuan Valley to find Jihu!"

Cheng Xinzhan agreed, as he had the same idea. Brother Jihu left the day after he led him into the mountain, and it was two years later when they met again.

The two men, one riding a bird and the other riding a cloud, went straight from the Lotus Blessed Land, Shuji Mountain, to the Azalea Valley.

It is early spring now, and the azaleas are not yet in bloom. The valley is mostly green, and the sea of ​​azaleas that looks like a sunset has not yet appeared.

The two landed at the entrance of Rhododendron Valley and walked inside. When they entered the valley, Cheng Xinzhan discovered that there were not only rhododendrons here. There were also many plum, apricot, kapok and other trees planted on both sides of the road. They were now blooming and vying for beauty in the chilly spring breeze.

Cheng Xinzhan had not yet entered Dujuan Valley, but He Jiyuan was obviously very familiar with it and was leading the way.

Cheng Xinzhan was looking at the beautiful scenery from behind. There were many people in Xiaowan Mountain, many bamboos in Meiji Mountain, many clouds in Shouyin Mountain, many tall buildings in Shuji Mountain, and many flowers and trees in Dujuan Valley. Walking on the path, there were dense vegetation on both sides. At a certain moment, he seemed to feel like he had returned to the dense forests of Miaojiang.

Compared to the Cardinal Mountain, the white dog obviously liked the Azalea Valley more. It seemed as if it had returned to the Miao area. It would often suddenly leave the trail and rush into the woods, and then suddenly appear in front of Cheng Xinzhan.

As he walked, Cheng Xinzhan also discovered that there were not only many flowers and trees here, but also many more Kundao than other places, even more than in Shouyin Mountain.

After walking for a while, they came to a green field next to a small lake. There were a dozen courtyards scattered around the lake. He Jiyuan pointed to one of them and said,
"That's where Ji Hu lives. Let's go there."

As soon as the two walked in, Cheng Xinzhan fell in love with this small courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by a half-person-high wooden fence. There was only a small wooden house inside, and the rest of the land was planted with flowers and plants. There were many kinds of flowers and plants. Even though it was early spring, they were still blooming in all colors. The branches and leaves and the fragrance of the flowers floated over the fence and into the outside of the courtyard.

The fragrance of the flowers seemed to attract many birds, and the birds in the courtyard chirped like a music. I wonder how pleasant it would be to practice in such a courtyard.

Cheng Xinzhan made up his mind that he must ask Brother Jihu for some flower seeds later.

"Jihu!"

He Jiyuan shouted.

Cheng Xinzhan laughed. Before He Jiyuan was appointed as the governor, he always called him "Hou Huai". But after he was appointed as the governor, he naturally called him Ji Hu.

"at home!"

A gentle voice came from the yard.

Cheng Xinzhan was waiting outside with a smile on his face.

"squeak--"

A man pushed open the gate with the scent of flowers. He was wearing a Taoist robe with his sleeves rolled up. He held a small hoe in his hand and seemed to be tending to flowers and plants. Behind him, flowers were woven like a weave.

In fact:
The people on Mo are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

He Jiyuan was blocking the door like a door god. Before the man could greet him, he stepped aside, revealing Cheng Xinzhan behind him, and said,
"Ji Hu, who do you think this is?"

Cheng Xinzhan's smile was like a spring breeze, blowing towards the man with the fragrance of flowers. He bowed and said,

"Brother Dao, long time no see."
