Chapter 39: The Moon Knot
After meditating on "The Story of Tailu Mountain" for a while, Shi Shan got up and was about to go to the Tianjia cell to ask Yao Jiang about his doubts about his cultivation.
"Stone Mountain~"
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Qi Ting coming over with a smile on his face.
"Shi Shan, where are you going?" Qi Ting asked as he walked up to Shi Shan.
"I'm going to go to the basement prison to see how the prisoners are doing. Ishiyama said.
"Is this an errand arranged for you by Ma Quan?" Qi Ting asked with a frown, thinking that Ma Quan was stumbling on Shishan again.
Shi Shan shook his head, "I'm tired of reading, so I want to take a walk here to soothe my mood." ”
Qi Ting's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I heard them say that you have participated in the scientific expedition, is it really fake?"
"Yes, I participated, but unfortunately I fell off the list. Shi Shan said with some embarrassment, after all, it is not a glorious thing to fall off the list.
When Qi Ting heard this, his eyes shone even brighter, "It's amazing, you are only a teenager, you can participate in the scientific examination, you must be very talented." I heard them say that you wrote a poem at the birthday banquet of Lord Zhenzun, which overwhelmed the audience, and was finally sung by Yao Manman. What kind of poem can you read to me?"
Looking at Qi Ting's eyes full of anticipation, Shi Shan's heart was still very useful, and he was about to brew his feelings, and when he recited "Beidingbian", a discordant voice suddenly came.
"What kind of poems are you reading? What do you think of me here? Wind and snow, don't you work hard, read poems to me here?" Ma Quan yelled at the two with a purple face.
"Beidingbian" seems to be Ma Quan's nightmare, as soon as I hear someone mention this poem, it seems to have returned to the shameless moment of the Zuo Shuang's birthday banquet, and I feel humiliated.
"Qi Ting, the account books you made last month are very problematic, you give me a good check, don't just wander around when you're fine. Ma Quan pointed at Qi Ting with a gloomy face.
Qi Ting's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he turned to leave. She now doesn't talk back to Ma Quan, and she no longer respects Ma Quan.
"Shishan, Lord Zhenzun asked me to arrange an independent office room for you, so that you can prepare for the exam well, not for you to hook up with a girl here. When you succeed in the scientific examination in the future, there are not many women, so don't limit your vision to this small prison, small Shangyang Town. After Qi Ting left, Ma Quan changed his tone and spoke to Shi Shan, looking like a virtuous elder.
Shi Shan ignored Ma Quan's words, crossed Ma Quan, and walked forward, "You don't have to worry about what I want to do, I have my own measure." ”
Seeing Shi Shan's departing back, Ma Quan didn't get angry as usual, but smiled coldly, "Enjoy your remaining days." ”
Coming to the Tianjia cell, Shi Shan described to Yao Jiang how he felt about his cultivation last night.
"How can I realize the mystery?" Shi Shan said, wondering in his heart.
Yao Jiang was silent for a while when he heard this, and then sighed and said: "Heaven and earth are mysterious, mysterious, wonderful, indescribable, you can only use your heart to understand." This kind of intention requires you to be clear in your mind and not have a trace of dirt. Because the mystery is the purest and purest thing between heaven and earth. ”
When Shi Shan heard this, he seemed to have an understanding.
After returning to the office room, he locked the door, sat cross-legged, and Shi Shan repeatedly breathed a few breaths, then closed his eyes and began to comprehend the mystery of heaven and earth.
Endless netherworld, void and silence.
I don't know how long it has been, Shi Shan only felt a golden light flash in his mind, and the golden light illuminated the entire darkness, and then disappeared in a flash.
In an instant, Shi Shan opened his eyes and was excited.
Mystery!
He sensed the mystery!
Although it was only a momentary realization and it was too late to pick, Shishan was already very satisfied, and this was a very crucial step.
This step can illuminate the road ahead.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.
On this day, as soon as Shi Shan walked out of the prison, Qi Ting's voice came from behind him.
"Stone Mountain, wait for me~"
Stone Mountain turned around and saw Qi Ting trotting towards him.
"Stone Mountain~"
In front of Shi Shan, Qi Ting took a few breaths, "Shi Shan, tomorrow is the Double Moon Festival, when the time comes, you can accompany me to the market to watch the moon end." ”
"I'm really sorry, I'm going to my teacher Tang Bin tomorrow night. Ishiyama said apologetically.
Qi Ting's face darkened when he heard this, "It's okay, then you can accompany me to the market now, it's almost a bit of an atmosphere now." ”
Qi Ting said and walked forward on his own, as if he had decided that Shi Shan would promise him.
Shi Shan stood in place, hesitating for a while, in the past few days, he was comprehending the mystery, while cultivating the "Nine Yang Refining Body", and he also had to study the scientific examination articles, and the time was really tight.
"Why are you standing there still?"
Seeing that Shi Shan did not follow, Qi Ting turned around and stretched out his hand to wave towards Shi Shan, his eyes were extremely bright.
With a sigh in his heart, Shi Shan walked over.
"The monthly settlement in our town is still very good, and many of them are doing well, but I don't know what new styles will be there this year. On the way, Qi Ting said with a smile on his face.
The moon knot in Qi Ting's mouth is a product that has been available in various parts of the Yu Dynasty, but different places have different characteristics. Whenever it comes to the Double Moon Festival, people will use silk ropes to form one moon knot after another, and these moon knots often have special meanings, entrusting people's yearning for a better future.
"Our town is famous for its monthly settlements, and young men and women from other towns will come to us to buy monthly settlements. Ishiyama said with a smile.
"That's right, even the county government has people to buy the monthly settlement in our town, and one of my cousins in the county government asked me to bring her some monthly settlements. Zitin said proudly.
Suddenly, Zitin's eyes lit up and he trotted to a stall.
"Stallholder, what kind of monthly settlement is this?" Qi Ting asked curiously, pointing to the monthly settlement.
Seeing Qi Ting's inquiry, the stall owner immediately stopped fiddling with the stall and enthusiastically introduced the monthly end of Qi Ting's inquiry.
"This is the moon scar knot, this knot method has just been passed from Beixuan City, there are few people in our town who know it, this is definitely a new product this year. This moon scar is a good sign, especially for young men and women. ”
Hearing the stall owner say this, Qi Ting's curiosity became even heavier, "Stallholder, tell me what the sign is?"
Seeing Qi Ting enter the content of his words, the stall owner smiled even more, and then said: "Legend has it that in the ancient past, the sky was bright for three months, until one day one of the largest moons suddenly flew away from our world. The youngest moon also flew away, and after the youngest moon flew away for a distance, it suddenly looked back and saw tears on the surface of the remaining moon, and finally the smallest moon stopped flying away, but it could not return to its original position, and could only look at the remaining moon from a distance. ”
The stall owner observed Qi Ting's expression as he spoke, and saw that Qi Ting had entered the storyline he described, so he took the opportunity to say: "This moon knot means that young men and women should seize the opportunity to seize the good people around them, and with this moon scar, even if the people around them want to leave, they will eventually return to themselves." ”
Qi Ting was excited when he heard this, "Stallholder, how do you sell the scar knot this month?"
The stall owner was overjoyed and was about to say the price.
"Stall owner, I sold all the monthly settlements of your stall, you can make a price. ”
Hearing this sudden voice, Qi Ting looked up dissatisfied, and saw that it was Ma Chao, and his face was instantly covered with dark clouds.
