The trip to Fukou was very fruitful, because Pei Qian unexpectedly found a batch of secret files of palace examination papers among the bundles of books sold at low prices. It was a veritable only copy of Wei Mo's original works, which compiled the palace examinations of nearly a hundred imperial examination champions in the country.
Articles, every top-scholar exam paper has bright cinnabar inscriptions, which are the "first and first place" approved by emperors of all dynasties. In addition to the main text of the policy essay, there is also the title and name of the examiner at the end. Although it is said that the dragon is shallow
It's light and has a lot of time, but it's rich in literary style, so it's a solid pick.
Chen Ping'an flipped through several old and recent palace examination papers respectively, and casually memorized a series of official titles and names.
At that time, next to the shop, a thin old man wearing a Confucian shirt was dumbfounded. He was probably shocked by Chen Pingan's luck. He hesitated for a long time before asking Chen Pingan if he could resell these examination papers to him.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "Old sir, I'm sorry to have to obey."
The old man smiled casually and said: "A gentleman does not take what others like, but I was rude."
What's more, I don't have much money in my pocket. I came to this mountain crossing just to relax. How can I have the confidence to negotiate business with these mountain immortal masters? Three immortal coins, one each for Snowflake, Xiaoshu and Guyu, were all rewards from the new emperor.
Item, intended to be a family heirloom.
Xiao Mo said in his heart: "Sir, this old gentleman just now seems to be more interested in the recent examination papers. When he saw the names of the people above, his mood fluctuated greatly."
Chen Ping'an said: "The old gentleman has both official and battlefield aura. Maybe he saw his name and that of his colleagues on the palace examination paper."
Chen Pingan fell in love at first sight when he saw a pair of Aolong button seals with no margins on both sides.
Contentment. Not knowing enough.
The gold and stone are not heavy, and there is no signature by a famous person, so the price must be cheap, but it is not sold alone, as a bonus, the customer has to buy an additional valuable item.
It happened that Chen Ping'an also fell in love with a purple sandstone ladle pot, which was engraved with "Hometown of the blue bird in the clouds, world of dragons under the sea". He planned to buy it and give it away later.
The price of the items in the shop is thirty pieces of snow money. Nowadays, if the mountain utensils in Tongyezhou are even remotely related to spiritual energy, and if some added "stories" of the Immortal Mansion are added to add to the price, the prices will be frighteningly high, driving up the prices and causing endless competition.
In fact, it is expensive, but when I think of being at my own ferry, okay, just treat it as an exception and be a trustee?
As soon as Chen Ping'an reached out to grab the purple clay pot, he was bumped on the shoulder and snatched away the stone ladle pot. He turned to the shopkeeper and shouted loudly: "Let's negotiate a price!"
Without thinking about anything, he let the man pay for the purple clay pot. Chen Ping'an moved around and picked up a three-color jadeite bracelet that symbolized good fortune, wealth and longevity. The price of the bracelet was ten snow coins in the shop.
Unexpectedly, a friend next to the burly man reached out again. Chen Pingan gently raised his elbow, picked up the other person's wrist, and said with a smile: "How can you buy things like this?"
In fact, Chen Pingan has already discovered clues. Among this group of people, there is a half-hearted Mr. Qingwu. With his hands in his sleeves, he secretly turned the pointer of a poorly made treasure plate to roughly determine the direction of the wealth.
There is a master in the mountain who has a long life, and Chen Ping'an has some fortune. Naturally, he was misunderstood by Mr. Qingwu. Coupled with the secret files of the previous batch of palace examination papers, the other party thought that Chen Ping'an would be selected.
Just buy whatever you want and make sure you make a profit without losing money.
In fact, this is a common occurrence in the antique business at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Pingan would definitely not let go of the bracelet on his hand because he had already thought about who to give it to.
Mr. Qingwu, who was holding the treasure plate on the way, smiled and said: "My little brother, I advise you to give up your love. Even if you are a god on the mountain, you still have to be careful when you go out, where the mountains are high, the water is deep and the wind is strong."
Next to this immortal of the cave realm, stood a strong and pure warrior, armed with a sword and wearing a very old official badge.
If he could conquer the four realms, he would be a mountain top realm master.
Pei Qian gathered his voices and explained to his master: "This group of people are all worshipers of the Great Xia Dynasty in the south. But now that the dynasty is falling apart, there are three people who have been crowned emperors. One prince and two generals are all fighting for it.
A few years ago, they started to send people out to search for money. The methods were similar, and the goods were the same, not much better. However, these sacrificial plaques are all old objects in the palace, so I can't tell them apart.
Whose subordinate..."
Pei Qian suddenly took action, and someone actually dared to reach out and grab her waist. Pei Qian hit the other party's front door with his elbow, and the latter flew directly out of the store.
Mr. Qingwu shouted angrily: "Be careful, it's a demon clan!"
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright. Tongyezhou was really riddled with holes. He had suffered terribly at the hands of those monsters in the wild world in the past few years. He shouted loudly outside the door: "Hurry up and send a message to Lingbi Mountain!"
In the past, when ancestors were worshiped during the Qingming Festival, white butterflies would still fly from paper ashes in front of the graves. Now, when the sun sets on the fox and rabbit burial mounds, descendants of several graves come, and only countless new ghosts cry out for the old ghosts.
After receiving the secret words from Mr. Qingwu, the burly man who had snatched the stone ladle pot earlier gave a deep drink, and his clothes fell apart on the spot, revealing two tattoos on his upper body, one of a dragon on the shoulder, and another of a tiger descending from the mountain.
The old man who was still in the shop said in a deep voice: "This kind of joke is not allowed."
Pei Qian turned to look at his master. Chen Pingan nodded and took action at will.
So this group of worshiping gentlemen from the old Daxia Dynasty went to lie down outside the door and enjoy their blessings.
Chen Pingan put away the jade bracelet and put it into his sleeves, then picked up the pair of seals. Finally, he put ten snow coins on the counter, turned around and cupped his fists at the old gentleman and said, "Thank you."
The old gentleman smiled and said: "It takes a little effort."
Then the old gentleman said with deep meaning, "The Immortal Masters of Lingbi Mountain will come here later. I can try my best to help explain a few things, but whether the explanation can be clear in the end depends on the Immortal Masters of Lingbi Mountain."
There is something in the old man's words, and the implication is that he is your master from the top of the mountain. If his reputation is big enough, maybe he can turn big things into trivial matters. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome, and it will be extremely difficult. He will be identified as a demon monk by a Qi practitioner worshiped by the royal family.
, not to mention that Lingbishan can’t afford it, if there is no agreement on the store today and the two sides take action, Dafu Academy may be alerted and a gentleman or sage from the academy will be specially sent to come over to verify the identity. Of course,
If it is later proven that Lingbishan deliberately lied, the guilt will be considerable.
A young and strong guard beside the old man hesitated to speak, because he was worried that his master would cause unnecessary trouble.
After receiving the news from the Lingbi Mountain Patriarch Hall, no one dared to take it lightly. The old mountain master, with a golden elixir and two dragon gates, hurried to Yeyundu against the wind. As if facing a formidable enemy, he stood at the door of the shop.
After the old man announced his identity, Xiao Mo smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Young Master knows things like a god."
Because this old master who has made great contributions to the reconstruction of a country is indeed one of the people on the palace examination paper, and his official title is a bit long, Shaobao and Crown Prince Taibao, Minister of Rites, Wenhua Palace, Bachelor of Arts.
He was a civil servant with the clearest background, and he was full of talents in both the government and the public. However, the old man did not follow the late emperor to escape to that new world. Instead, he stayed in his hometown and homeland and was on the battlefield for many years. In the past few years, he blocked several people including the old Daxia Dynasty.
The border invasion from neighboring countries. Now that I am returning home from old age, I happened to pass by this place. I had nothing to do and planned to enjoy the scenery of the mountains. The only drawback is that I am short of money.
Lingbi Mountain obviously knows the identity of this old man, but they still dare not take it lightly. If a group of demon monks are really missed, with the temper of the new mountain master of Dafu Academy, Lingbi Mountain can directly
The mountain has been closed for hundreds of years.
Chen Ping'an spoke directly from his heart: "We are from Xiandu Mountain."
The golden elixir ancestor from Lingbi Mountain asked cautiously: "Are you a fellow sect of Master Cui?"
The generous young man in white, who is now the master behind Yeyundu, visited Lingbi Mountain before and claimed to be from Qingping Peak in Xiandu Mountain and his surname was Cui.
Chen Pingan smiled and nodded.
The flood almost washed away the Dragon King Temple, which was a bit embarrassing. The three old masters of Lingbi Mountain didn't know what to say for a while.
He did not exchange too many polite greetings with the three Immortal Genealogy Masters. He just made them worried that there would be hidden dangers in today's farce, so he could use his sword to send a message to the academy.
Chen Ping'an took out the large pile of palace examination papers, handed them to the old man, and said with a smile: "The old man is right, a gentleman does not take what others like."
The old man was very happy. He took the test paper and laughed and said, "May I ask the immortal master what the price is?"
Chen Ping'an waved his hand and said: "It's hard to buy a few fair words."
The old man smiled and nodded, "Then you won't be polite to the immortal master."
After leaving the shop and walking on the ferry bank, Chen Pingan glanced at Cao Qinglang and asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?"
Cao Qinglang replied: "The student has just figured it out."
When you are with the Lord of Jishan Prefecture, you will still have some temptations. This is your own business. If you are with the Immortal Master of Lingbi Mountain, you should identify yourself early on, intentionally or unintentionally. Otherwise, the other party may have a good family background.
He might show an ugly face, or he might be conceited but act cautiously, or he might rather kill by mistake than kill by mistake and take action directly. In short, there are various possibilities. However, the gentleman did not act in this way, and it was obviously in accordance with the agreement.
, I really left all the affairs of the next sect to the younger senior brother.
The guard next to the old man said: "Master, the other party has a lot of background, and he was able to let Lingbishan let him go without saying a word."
The old man smiled and just said "Hanlin style".
He had been the Minister of Rites for many years and had presided over many imperial examinations. Everyone in the government and the public said that he was a peach and a plum.
Now.
The old people are still there, but those peach and plum trees, so many young people, who are high-spirited, energetic and literary, are really speechless now.
In a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, they passed by a temple at the foot of a mountain outside the county town, and a group of people went into the temple to burn incense.
When you enter a temple, if there is a plaque on it, don’t ask for it from outside. If you hang a plaque in the main hall, you will feel at ease.
There are pilgrims entering the temple and monks going out.
Generally speaking, when a temple is established, it is no longer necessary to travel alone. You can only go out to study after the summer is over. Every time a wandering monk goes to a temple and goes to the main hall to worship the Buddha, you only need to look at the statue of Skanda Bodhisattva to know.
Is this temple a jungle in ten directions, or a jungle for descendants that only provides one night and two meals? In this Zen temple, Skanda Bodhisattva stands alone with his left hand and his right hand holding the demon pestle in front of his chest. This means that it is half a temple.
In the Buddhist jungle of half descendants of the ten directions, a wandering monk can hang out here for three days, but it is not suitable for him to live there permanently.
These agreed-upon Buddhist rules do not need to be reminded by temple acquaintances to outside monks.
