(Thanks to book friends "alpha-omega" and "o8?䱱" for their generous rewards, I became the master of Liaozhai Hall... Well, there are still 7 monthly passes to reach the 500 mark, is there any?)
The rivers and rivers are endless, and the rivers are flowing one after another. This is the bustling city of Suzhou.
Ever since she entered the city gate, Jina was like a bird out of its cage. She couldn't help but stretched her head out of the carriage, looking out excitedly and curiously. She was fascinated by what she saw. Everything felt new and fresh.
All felt happy.
She was born with a beautiful appearance, and now her beautiful face was exposed without any concealment. She attracted many eager eyes along the way. Especially the scholars and scholars who happened to pass by. They saw
Jina, I thought it was a lady from some famous family who was traveling. She was secretly happy and hurriedly said "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers", each making gestures and movements in an attempt to attract Jina's attention. Two or three of them immediately shouted loudly
When he started reciting poems, he was cadenced, and his Adam's apple shrunk as he read aloud, and his saliva flew everywhere. He really made his mouth wet when he recited it.
"It's so noisy, everyone is screaming like a bastard!"
Miss Huangfu suddenly let out a "Lion's Roar from the East of the River", and the scholars lost their composure in shock and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.
When Chen Jianchen saw it, he couldn't help but jinxed, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still said to Jiao Na: "Sister Huangfu, why don't you go back to the carriage?"
Jina is enjoying watching it, but how can she be willing to listen?
Chen Jianchen's face was straight: "If you are disobedient, be careful of Mr. Jian's rule."
Hearing the word "jiaru", Jina sat back reluctantly, but still couldn't help but lift the car curtain, leaving a crack for a visit.
"My benefactor... my benefactor is indeed you..."
I heard a familiar voice and saw a person excitedly rushing out of a calligraphy and painting stall on the street. Isn't it the calligrapher Zhang Huanyun?
A few days later, Shuchi was still looking the same, but his whole body was much cleaner and neater. He was no longer as unkempt and muddy as before. At least he looked like a normal person.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Zhang, why are you here?"
Chen Jianchen asked the coachman to stop the carriage.
Zhang Huanyun suddenly bowed deeply towards him and said, "The young master did not leave his name on that day. I thought I would never see my benefactor again."
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "It's just a small effort, don't worry about it." Then he pointed to the calligraphy and painting stall over there and asked: "Is this opened by Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Huanyun looked ashamed and said: "I am a poor man who has no way to make a living, so he opened a small stall to supplement his family's income."
Chen Jianchen's heart moved, and he already knew that his strategy of instructing the book to be charming like jade was effective - although so far, Zhang Huanyun still refused to get rid of some of the zàng books at home to improve his life, but at least he had taken a step out of the cage.
He walked out of his study room, put aside his dignity and picked up calligraphy and painting on the street, and really started to make a living to supplement his family income. Compared with the previous chiddling and dazed look, he was already a new man.
"Brother Zhang, the sages have said that 'filial piety comes first'. How can a seven-foot-tall man still need his mother to take care of him and raise him? He should reflect on himself and do it well."
Zhang Huanyun sighed: "My benefactor's words awakened the dreamer, and I am ashamed to read the books of saints and sages... Looking back on the past, it is vivid in my mind, just like a dream, the dream of Bai Qi. Xiaosheng has decided to earn a living and suffer hardships."
Read the scriptures and take the provincial examination next year to gain official status and fame."
He has read tens of thousands of books and is good at writing eight-legged essays. He usually ranks among the best in the annual scientific examinations, so he is qualified to take the provincial examination next year. I believe that with Yan Ruyu supervising and guiding him, Zhang Huanyun has a good chance of passing the examination.
Chen Jianchen cupped his hands and said: "Then I wish Brother Zhang to be on the list next year, and the whole world will know about it."
Zhang Huanyun returned the courtesy and said: "Xiao Sheng sees that the young master is extraordinary and is definitely not a thing in the pond. I believe he will say that we will all serve as officials in the same court. When that time comes, Xiao Sheng will invite my benefactor as a guest."
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen burst out laughing: After reading this book, his mind became much sharper.
The two parties said goodbye, but Zhang Huanyun was still standing in the street, watching him endlessly.
When we arrived at the inn, we met with Wang Fu and his entourage, and after explaining some things, it was almost over.
Thinking of the upcoming separation, Lu Xiyue felt so sad that she was speechless and choked.
Chen Jianchen came downstairs and suddenly found that Jiao Na was missing!
Asked about Xiaoju, Xiaoju replied: Jina just said she wanted to go out for convenience...
When Chen Jianchen heard these words, he knew that things were going to be bad - Jiao Na had obviously found an excuse to run away and go out to play; and in such a big city of Suzhou, where should she go to find her?
"Bullshit!"
Chen Jianchen cursed secretly, blaming himself for his negligence. He knew clearly that Jiao Na had a lively and restless temper, but how could she be willing to be obedient and like a lady in Suzhou?
In that case, she would no longer be Jiao Na.
At this time, Xiao Ju also reacted and was frightened and panicked. She even asked Chen Jianchen what to do. If something happened to Sister Xiao, the problem would be serious.
Chen Jianchen was not worried about the possibility of something happening to Jiao Na. She was a good vixen who had cultivated into a human form. How could anyone else stand up to her? He was just afraid that she would cause trouble everywhere and cause a lot of trouble.
After thinking about it, Chen Jianchen asked Xiaoju and the coachman to wait here at the inn, and he went out alone to look for Jina. Xiaoju wanted to go, but Chen Jianchen stopped her - she was a sister-in-law who had not seen much of the world, so she was afraid to go
When I was looking for someone, I even lost myself in the search.
This kind of thing happens a lot.
Chen Jianchen took a big step and went to the nearby streets to search.
…
But Jiao Na found an excuse to put Xiao Ju away and quietly slipped into the street. Looking at the bustling crowd, she suddenly felt that the sky was open for birds to fly and the sea was wide for fish to jump. Look here, quietly and jump over there.
Yes, it didn’t take long to walk a long way, and even I didn’t know where I was.
She didn't care, she was walking along anyway, and she happened to see a candied haws shop selling candied haws on the side of the street. The strings were bright red and very tempting, so she couldn't help but walk over.
The vendor enthusiastically picked off a large bunch and handed it over, shouting: "Big and sweet candied haws, please give it a try. I promise you to eat three bunches of it."
Jiao Na didn't care, she took it and ate it, smiling happily and saying, "It's so sweet."
A bunch of candied haws of water went into my stomach in three ounces.
The hawker asked again: "Do you want more?"
"want."
So each of his left and right hands took a bunch of candied haws of sugarcane. He gave it a little bite with the left hand and a bite with the right hand.
The hawker smiled broadly: "Gu Niang, I'll give you a generous favor of eleven cents."
Jiao Na's eyes dropped when she heard this, and then she remembered that her father said that you have to pay for taking things from others in the world, but she had never been out, and she never brought a penny with her. What should she do?
Well, of the thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.
Having made the decision, I immediately let go of my legs and ran towards the streets and alleys.
Now it was the hawker's turn to look at her: What kind of world is this? When did the girl who looks like a flower and jade also eat for free, the king's meal?
He didn't have time to think too much and shouted: "Gu Niao, you haven't paid me yet."
Carrying the guy on his back, he chased after him hard.
Jāo Na didn't know the way, so the alley she chose turned out to be an alleyway. After running a few dozen steps, there was no path ahead, but a bare wall. Without thinking, she secretly muttered a formula and used the "wall penetration technique", jiāo
The small body rushed straight towards the wall, passed through it in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
This is……
When the vendor saw him from behind, he was so surprised that his eyes almost dropped: "Monsters, there are monsters." He was so frightened that he threw all the candied haws in his hands to the ground and rushed out shouting.
"Anita Buddha!"
A Buddhist chant, like morning bells and evening drums, suddenly rang in the ears, shaking the eardrums and clearing the mind. When the vendor looked up, he saw a great monk wearing white monk robes standing next to him. This monk had a plump head and thick eyebrows.
He has big eyes, a handsome face, is very young, and has a tall and straight figure. His monk's robes are as white as snow and spotless, giving people a sense of ecstasy, which is completely different from ordinary monks.
He holds a nine-ring Zen staff in his right hand, and holds an alms bowl in his left hand. It has a flat bottom and a small mouth, and is purple-red in color. There is a faint glow overflowing from it. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.
The monk folded his hands and said: "This benefactor is so polite. The poor monk is the dawn monk of Jinshan Temple. Why are you shouting that there is a demon?"
The hawker took a sip of saliva and immediately told what happened.
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
Monk Mingxiao already understood in his heart. He stepped into the alley, looked around, and stood in front of the wall at the end. Suddenly he spat into the alms bowl held in his left hand.
Buzz!
The inside of the alms bowl suddenly changed, water vapor curled up, and in the blink of an eye, a pool of clear water sprouted out of it.
The water is crystal clear, like a mirror that can reflect things.
In fact, a moving mirror is being reflected inside. If you look closely, you can see that it is the entire process of Jiao Na running into the alleyway and then performing the "Wall Penetration Technique" to walk through the wall.
"It turns out to be a little vixen who has been cultivating for hundreds of years...Huh, under the changing sun, he actually dared to transform into a human form and break into the busy city. He simply didn't know how to live. It's okay, the poor monk wants to be sacrificed.
To refine the Tower of Dawn, it is necessary to suppress and refine 999 demons and monsters at the transformation level in order to refine the tower spirit..."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as bright as the sun. If he was not a bald monk, but a scholar, such a gentle smile would charm many ladies, Xiaojiabiyu.
"Master, are you a demon?"
The vendor behind him followed cautiously and asked in a low voice.
"It is indeed a demon. The poor monk is going to slay the demon." He jumped up and flew over the wall lightly. His figure was unusually graceful, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the hawker suddenly felt pious. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times: It is said that all the monks in Jinshan Temple have great spiritual power and are all enlightened monks. Sure enough! It seems that it is.
I will go to Jinshan Temple more often to burn incense and worship Buddha...
