He finally understood why these two wealthy children were not well-rounded. After finishing this job, all the small things like washing up before bedtime were completely unnecessary compared to sweeping.

Jiao Tan pointed towards Zhao Ran, who couldn't be seen in the dark night, and said, "This area below the mountain is all under the name of the Taoist temple, and the tenants' daily use of fertilizer and water comes from here

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ran suddenly asked, "Brother Jiao and Brother Zhou, who come from wealth and honor, are they worth enduring this pain

Jiao Tan smiled and said, "Whether you want to or not, since I've come here, I have to endure it. It took a lot of effort for my family to climb up this opportunity... The chance to come to Wuji Temple for miscellaneous cultivation was not mine, but my brother couldn't bear this hardship and fled back in just two months, which is why it was my turn

Zhao Ran paused for a moment and said, "Run back? Don't you care about the courtyard

Jiao Tan said, "Why bother with it in the courtyard? My leg was broken when my brother returned, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to travel in the future

Zhao Ran hesitated, but heard Zhou Huai coldly say, "It's not just for oneself, it's actually a clan. If you can't even see through this, you don't have to waste your time at home. It's best to live and die on your own

Jiao Tan nodded and said

Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment and quickly asked, "Can a fire worker also receive a degree certificate

For those like us who have no cultivation qualifications, of course we should not have too much hope, but there are opportunities. Every three years or two, each Taoist temple, palace, and courtyard will issue a batch of certificates to those with excellent qualifications. But how few people can cultivate Taoism in the world? If we strictly follow this example, there may not be many people in the Taoist temple. Therefore, there will always be some opportunities left for ordinary people, or for those with prominent family backgrounds or intelligent talents... Just like in the Wuji Temple, there are almost forty or fifty Taoist priests who receive certificates, and those who can cultivate Taoism have gone to the pavilion

Zhao Ran felt as if he had rolled away the pot in his heart, anxiously pondering how to find a way to obtain this certificate and become a noble Taoist. After pondering for a moment, he let out his anger again. He didn't have a deep family background or reliance, and the chance to further his career was really slim.

With this thought in mind, I temporarily let go of the idea and chatted with Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai while following the old donkey back to the mountain gate. During this time, Zhao Ran asked why Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, who were both wealthy children, didn't hire some short-term workers to do this rough job of sweeping the area? Jiao Tan said that the most important thing in the Taoist temple is to lead by example. Unless one reaches the top, being honest and practical is the best policy. Cheating and playing tricks are absolutely not allowed.

Zhao Ran asked again, why are most of the fire workers who can enter the Taoist temple from wealthy families living so poor?

Jiao Tan explained that, as the saying goes, unless one rises to a higher position, they should live honestly according to the rules of the Taoist temple. Fire workers and laymen only have one day off from bathing every ten days, and they are allowed to go down the mountain on that day. When they get down the mountain, they can enjoy whatever they like, but on the mountain, even if they have money, they have nowhere to spend money. They must abide by the rules of the Taoist temple in terms of food, clothing, and expenses, and are not allowed to bring any luxurious enjoyment into the mountain gate.

Zhou Huai added, 'Brother Zhao, you haven't seen the group of room cleaners like Guan Jie'er. How do they spend their days in the Taoist temple on weekdays?'? They secretly play cards and their winnings are really huge.

Zhao Ran continued to ask, can the next batch of novice laymen enter the mountain and leave the house with himself and others?

Jiao Tan said, but it's true. According to the order rules, Zhou Huai goes first, followed by me, Jiao. He patted Zhao Ran's shoulder and chuckled, "Zhao, please be patient

The old donkey returned to the trough house, and the three of them also returned to the west house together. The sky had already shown dawn, but Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai collapsed on the bed, burying their heads in sleep, and snoring loudly between their heels.

Zhao Ran was also exhausted, and soon fell asleep in a daze. This time he understood that this job did indeed distort right and wrong, and now he had joined the ranks of sleeping with his head covered in broad daylight.
