(The second update is completed, 6,000 words are given. Everyone has a good view, please give me some votes!)
The bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted.
This was the third day after Chen Sanlang returned to Jingxian.
For three days, there were banquets and banquets throughout the city, which was very lively.
Jingxian County has produced a top scholar, and it is indispensable to congratulate him. Local gentry, celebrities, scholars, etc. all visited the door with generous gifts; as for Chen Sanlang's classmates, they could not leave, so they made an appointment to gather and came.
The pomp and etiquette took three days to come to an end. The guests disperse and the noise disappeared. Taking advantage of their spare time, Chen Sanlang walked up the mountain to meet Xiaoyao Fudao after inspecting the foundation of the village dock.
After a long time, this Taoist priest still looked like "good at being an expert". Since he settled here and established the Xiaoyao Temple, he has gained many believers with this look, and the incense in the temple has become more and more prosperous day by day. Seeing that the two demons Chai and Xiongping who guard the River Temple were a little jealous.
However, Ao Qingmei said that he would not do anything wrong. However, the two demons also knew that their abilities were not opponents of Taoist priests, so they were just jealous and did not dare to make trouble.
After parting in Dongting, Xiaoyao became the master of the spectator, and Chen Sanlang became the top scholar. When they met, they couldn't help but sigh, put on the bowls and chopsticks, and started drinking under the moon.
After experiencing a life-and-death battle with Wong Tai Sin, the relationship between the two has progressed quite quickly, and it has become a friend of hardships. When talking and talking, it is naturally open and honest.
As he was talking, the Taoist priest mentioned that someone went to the city that day to assassinate Chen Wang.
Although the matter is in the past and my mother is safe and sound, I can't help but feel sweaty now. At the same time, anger is burning in my heart.
As the saying goes: Disaster is not as good as family members. In order to disrupt one's own fortune, the other party actually wants to conquer his family and destroy his family. It is extremely abominable.
The Taoist priest glanced at him: "These people disguised as thieves. But I saw that they were all elite soldiers... In this regard, you should be able to guess what's going on."
Chen Sanlang nodded.
The Taoist priest asked in confusion: "But I wonder why you have been safe and sound all the way back?"
Chen Sanlang said angrily: "Do you really want to see someone come to kill me?"
"Haha, no. It's just a matter of judging the situation. I'll calculate it with my fingers. I guess you have a disaster. However, you'll return safely, without any wind or waves. It feels strange."
Chen Sanlang said: "After all, I am the top scorer in the new subject. Something happened on the road caused a huge uproar, which ordinary people can't afford."
"You really think so?"
Taoist priests do not accept this statement.
"Aren't you a monk? Why did you suddenly care so much?"
"The Emperor Wuliang Tianzun, I became a monk and my heart was in the world. Besides, if something happened to you, my Taoist temple would not go bankrupt?"
It turns out that it is because of this reason.
Chen Sanlang was silent.
He had guessed the reason for this, and his identity as the top scholar was not enough to be a talisman. On the contrary, if Yuan Geshu wanted to take the slaughter, he would not let himself enter Yangzhou at all, and would send someone to do it in other prefectures and counties. The most clean and neat thing was.
In this way, you can also shirk responsibility.
Since the journey is smooth and there is no disaster, it can at least show that the other party has no intention of killing for the time being. Or, the invitation from the Dragon Lord in Dongting is a kind of stimulus, as if saying to the outsider: This son has been appreciated by the Dragon Lord. Don’t act rashly…
Of course, this signal is not clear and clear. It is hard to say whether it can be bought into it.
No matter what, Chen Sanlang finally returned home smoothly, just a choice in the future and will soon break the current delicate balance.
Thinking of the secret decree appointment, I sighed in my heart.
As he analyzed and thought about the situation in the world, Chen Sanlang felt more and more that he had become a chess piece. The hands that held the chess piece were emperors, dragon kings, and Yuan Wenchang... There were shadows behind him, and I don’t know how many hands were hidden.
It feels very unhappy to be pinched.
It turns out that reaching the end of the imperial examination road and winning the top scorer is just the beginning of another road.
Xiaoyao seemed to have seen through his predicament and asked, "What are your plans?"
Chen Sanlang looked at him with a burning look: "Where are you?"
This is a pun question.
The Taoist priest understood and laughed, "My Taoist temple is on your land, and I am with the Taoist temple."
"Thanks."
After saying that, Chen Sanlang said goodbye and went down the mountain.
Looking at his thin back, the Taoist priest rubbed his eyes and muttered, "What are you saying thank you for it? I'm sorry, this kid must have done it..."
After leaving Xiaoyao Temple, Chen Sanlang stopped next to the river.
The river water gurgled, and suddenly waves came out, and the water was rolling. When the two of them stepped out of the waves, they came to the shore, and bowed to Chen Sanlang.
It is the two demon generals of Crab and Xiong.
Chen Sanlang said calmly: "I have important tasks to you."
The two monsters spoke in unison: "Young Master, please tell me that I will go through fire and water, and I will die without regrets."
Since they surrendered, they may have been guided by Ao Qingmei, and their cultivation level was growing gradually, and they were extremely happy.
Monsters are much simpler than humans. The biggest pursuit and desire are first of all, cultivation. However, due to their background problems, they often cannot get the guidance of their masters and learn the orthodox magic formulas. Therefore, most monsters are confused and hard to seek but cannot get it.
In order to obtain the Taoist scriptures, many monsters are willing to sell themselves as slaves, and are enlightened by some great monks. They convert to the Taoist Buddhist family, serve as mountain guards, or boys. It’s a pity that Taoist orthodox is the foundation of various sects, so how can they be easily passed on to others?
What's more, it's a monster.
I worked hard all my life to be a cow and a horse, but in the end I just learned some superficial techniques.
At the beginning, Chi He and Xiongping were forced to surrender, but after getting Ao Qingmei's promise and learning magic one after another, all the grievances were gone. They just wished that they had something to do every day and could make merits and be rewarded. Ao Qingmei lived in seclusion in the well of Chen's house, absorbing only incense and regulating her body. As for other things, they all fell on Chen Sanlang.
Therefore, the two demons followed Chen Sanlang's horse leader and followed him only. Chen Sanlang went to Beijing to take the exam, and they were very bored staying in the Jinghe River. Now they heard that there was a task issued, and it was still an important task, so they immediately became excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
As long as you finish the errand and make contributions, Xiaolongnu's reward will be awarded.
Chen Sanlang asked, "What's the situation with the loach?"
After being subdued, Loach returned to Jingjiang and played an undercover role, mainly responsible for monitoring the movements of Commander Python.
Xiongping replied: "It asked the shrimp soldiers to bring a few letters of intelligence, which are all trivial matters. By the way, the intelligence mentioned that the commander came out of seclusion a while ago and was invited to go to Longcheng for a banquet."
If this happens.
Chen Sanlang's heart moved and once again confirmed the authenticity of the banquet in his dream. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Chaihe, you are from Longcheng, what is the situation inside?"
Chai He hurriedly said, "Report to the young master, although I came from Longcheng, I have a responsibility and cannot act rashly. I don't have much knowledge of Longcheng as a whole... Uh, why don't you ask the little princess?"
This is a rude statement.
Chen Sanlang didn't force him: "Well, I won't force you. But another thing is you."
"But please give me instructions."
"The Jingjiang River is divided into sections, and there are countless tributaries. I want you to train shrimp soldiers and generals to expand externally, and all the money you earn will be handed over."
Chen Sanlang's tone was stern.
Although he has won the top scorer in the exam now, he has received a lot of etiquette in all directions in the past three days, but the amount he counts is far from the requirement; and these incomes are basically one-time and will be gone after giving away. Therefore, he has to expand his financial path and accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. The best way is to go to water.
As for grain, thousands of acres of rice fields are about to mature, and Lao Zhou is well managed, it will be a bumper harvest in a season.
There is no worries about food, and it is urgent to build a village dock.
When I heard that the fight was about to start, both demons were cheering and ready to beat their hands. Chai He said, "Young Master, we have been waiting for this day for a long time. During this period, we have trained a large number of shrimp soldiers. Please review them."
As he said that, he clapped his palms, but saw the storm rolling on the river, and a piece of shrimp soldiers emerged, looking stupid. There were indeed a lot of them, densely packed, hundreds of them.
These shrimp soldiers were raised by two demon generals through the secret techniques taught by Ao Qingmei. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough time and were raised roughly. One by one, one by one, was basically cannon fodder. The victory was that they were large in quantity and arranged in a formation, which could scare people.
Seeing that most of these shrimp soldiers were unarmed, and their basic weapons and equipment were not in vain, and they were arranged in chaos and could not form a formation. Chen Sanlang frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought of something: Didn’t Xiaoyao Fudao have a gourd magic weapon in his hand that can accumulate Taoist soldiers? By the way, asking him to take action and hand over these shrimp soldiers to the Taoist priest will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
After solving this matter, he felt very happy and said, "You can find out the distribution of nearby river basins as soon as possible, and then report to me and make a charter."
"yes."
The Jing River is surging thousands of miles away, with a long and vast basin, with countless tributaries in it, and its management is very chaotic. Anyway, for the commander, as long as the incense is given below every month, it is enough. As for the struggles under the class, most of them ignore it.
This is the principle of the demon clan. If the strong are the ones who are invincible, they deserve to be replaced by other families.
Therefore, the diversion branch area below is quite chaotic. If you hit me, I hit you to see who will become a god. If it weren't for the remote location of Jinghe River and sparsely populated, it would have probably been the river gods of other tributaries who had already been attacked and seized the territory.
Then he ordered some matters, and Chen Sanlang turned around and went to Xiaoyao Temple to discuss with the Taoist priests about raising Taoist soldiers.
When the Taoist heard this, he was overjoyed: This is a good thing, and he couldn't get it. He got the gourd and tempered it day and night, but he was only struggling with it because he couldn't find Taoist soldiers to raise it. He had long been thinking about the aquatic monsters in the river.
Of course, Chen Sanlang asked him to raise his troops, and he had his own conditions. Even after the Taoist troops were established, he had to do his best to assist in the construction of the foundation. He had to be a pioneer when fighting.
