Chapter 14 Brush Favorability
"In the future, you should also pay attention to moderation when cultivating, too much!" Shi Jian was very satisfied with his talent and understanding, so he added again.
Su Wen responded honestly and did not say that he was in good shape.
"Pack up, let's go to town. Shi Jian said to Shi Shaojian, who was already impatient on the side.
They came to Xiahe Town this time because they heard that a family in the town was haunted, so they were ready to come to take over the mission.
This is also the mainstream way for many Taoist priests to maintain their lives in this era.
"Okay!" Shi Shaojian replied quickly.
Su Wen stepped forward to help.
Bring the salute, wash up a little, check that there is no leftover, and set off directly.
didn't see Old Man Wu again, and Shi Jian didn't go to say goodbye.
The card was good at this point in time, and when I arrived in town, it was just in time for dinner.
"Master, who is that senior?" On the way, Su Wen finally couldn't help but ask.
"A Wu family member who has taken the evil path raises and practices corpses here, and has a soft spot for tall and strong corpses!" Shi Jian glanced at him and replied.
Su Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly he was stunned.
I have roughly measured my height, about 180CM, in this era, I can barely count it as "tall and strong". As for appearance, it can only be said that the facial features are correct and ordinary.
However, it is already very satisfying.
"Don't contact him in the future, and don't come here to spend the night when you walk the rivers and lakes!" Shi Jian advised, "Old Man Wu has a lot of evil things on him, and if you are not careful, you will fall into his way." ”
"Yes, Master!" Su Wen hurriedly replied. No wonder he was just meditating in the house, and he didn't see him eating or drinking in Yizhuang.
As they spoke, the three of them came to town.
Yizhuang is just outside the town, not far away.
A simple, rough archway has three big characters written on it: "Xiahe Town".
A straight avenue seems to have just dispersed, and many vendors are packing up their things and preparing to go home, leaving a mess of vegetable leaves, fish scales, sewage, etc.
On the left-hand side, there is a steamed bun shop, with white smoke and a pure wheat fragrance.
"Gollum!" Shi Shaojian's stomach suddenly rang.
"Go and ask, where is Master Lin's house. An unnatural look flashed on Shi Jian's face, he glared at Shi Shaojian, and spoke.
Su Wen took the initiative to respond and trotted forward.
"This big brother, how do you get to Master Lin's house?" It just so happened that a middle-aged man walked out of the steamed bun shop, it was late autumn, but he was still bare-chested, revealing a strong body of muscles, and dense beads of sweat on his body.
"Old Man Lin's house?" The middle-aged man wiped the sweat stains on his face, looked at him in surprise, because of the out-of-place clothing, and then saw Shi Jian and the two not far behind him, only then did he show a sudden look, and replied: "Go straight on this road, and the first one to turn left at the end is, it is easy to recognize, the largest one!"
"Thank you, big brother. After Su Wen thanked him, he returned to Shi Jian's side and repeated.
Shi Jian nodded slightly, and took the first step.
Then there was Shi Shaojian.
Suven last.
Students with good academic performance, well-behaved, and able to look at eyes are the favorite of teachers.
This road is not far, it is more than 150 meters, and the three of them soon came to the location mentioned by the middle-aged man, and saw Master Lin's house at a glance.
Sure enough, it's the biggest one!
The courtyard wall is towering, the door plaque is much more delicate than the archway at the entrance of the town, the two big characters of "Lin House" are written on it, and the vermilion gate is one and a half high enough for Su Wen, and it is very broad.
It was noon, but the door was closed.
Without Shi Jian's orders, Su Wen stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"What are you doing?" Soon, an old man opened the door and walked out, not tall, dressed in cloth, and it seemed that he should be a porter.
"Maoshan Heavenly Master Shi Jian!" Su Wen replied with a hint of arrogance.
I don't say what the three of them are here for.
The old man in the porter frowned at first, and after looking at the three of them, he showed hesitation, said "wait a minute", and turned to report the news.
Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian didn't speak, and let Su Wen play.
In fact, the two of them attached great importance to Su Wen's status as an overseas student, and there had never been such a disciple in the history of Maoshan! The importance of "academic qualifications" in this era was no worse than that of later generations.
Soon, the courtyard door reopened, and a rich middle-aged man walked out, followed by a middle-aged man who was seven or eight points similar to him, but had lost a lot of weight, like two brothers.
Behind are the old porter and the butler just now.
After the four of them came out, the first thing they saw was Su Wen in a "weird costume", and then Shi Jian and the two behind him.
"Excuse me, which one is the Maoshan Shijian Heavenly Master?" After hesitating for a moment, the rich middle-aged man still asked with his fists clenched.
Very polite.
A transparent and lush, clear and ice-like jade wrench appeared in front of Su Wen's eyes and was worn on the middle-aged man's thumb.
"This is my ancestor, Maoshan Heavenly Master Shi Jian!" After retracting his eyes that were shaken for a moment, Su Wen introduced to one side, and then added without waiting for the two to greet each other: "My Maoshan is famous, and it is inevitable that there will be many people who deceive the world and steal our name." However, my ancestor Shi Jian is the senior brother among the contemporary external disciples of Maoshan Mountain, and he is the only Heavenly Master, so Master Lin can feel free to inquire about this name!"
It's blowing!
You can brush up on favorability!
The hesitation of the old man of the porter and the old man Lin just now made him realize that although the signboard of "Maoshan" is easy to use, there are also many petty thefts. I mentioned it in the exchange with Shi Shaojian last night, and then I suddenly remembered it and quickly connected with it.
I don't know if it's because of the rebirth or the spiritual rain, his mind is much more flexible, and many things in his mind are no longer isolated existences.
"It turned out to be Shi Tianshi, fortunately. The contemptible Lin Yaozong is the head of the Lin family. "Maybe it was Su Wen's words and arrogant attitude that played a role, or maybe it was Shi Jian's appearance that was really fairy-like, and Master Lin finally put away his suspicions.
Shi Jian knotted the Taiji Yin and Yang Seal with both hands and returned the salute.
"Please come in. Lin Yaozong greeted the trio.
Su Wen stepped aside and let Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian go first.
I don't know if he praised him, Shi Jian's face was slightly red, but his expression was not unusual, he still didn't smile, and he looked like a Taoist master.
"Have Shi Tianshi and the two masters ever had lunch?" asked Lin Yaozong after entering the courtyard together.
"No!" Originally, it was just polite, but Su Wen replied confidently, "Originally, we were going home last night, and when we passed through Xiahe Town, we heard about the affairs of Master Lin's house, so we deliberately took a detour, but I was afraid of disturbing the rest of the forester's family, so I rested for one night in Yizhuang outside the town." I came late this morning because I was teaching my homework. ”
"It just so happens that we are just about to prepare for dinner, why don't Shi Tianshi and the two masters be together?" Lin Yaozong said with a smile, looking like he was kind and wealthy.
"Don't worry!" Shi Jian suddenly said, "It's not too late to eat after dealing with the affairs of Old Man Lin's house!"
Hearing his words, Lin Yaozong finally had a little more confidence in these strange three people.
One is short, unsmiling, and has a strong voice like knocking gold on a stone, a hairstyle that flows in the air, and does not look like a serious person, and a strange costume, tall and average-looking, but very capable of fooling.
As soon as he was in business, how could he be fooled by Su Wen's words?
The reason why it was not exposed was because of the mentality of "just in case", and there was also a bit of the psychology of rushing to the doctor.
I have invited five Taoist priests, without exception, all of them blow the conch when they come, and they are embarrassed when they leave!
