Chapter 40: The Mysterious Taoist Priest (II)

Chen Gong knew very well in his heart that he was afraid that he would still be in the position of the master book for most of his life, and it could be said that he was hopeless for promotion. And those children of the clan who are vegetarian in the corpse position can be easily promoted if they have enough qualifications!

It was last winter, and Chen Gong, dressed in a cotton robe, walked to the county office.

In the early morning of winter, the snow from last night has spread a thick layer, and the snow has stopped in the second half of the night, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, and most of the shops are packing up and preparing to open.

"Master Chen got up so early!" Boss Zhang of the tailor shop greeted Chen Gong when he saw it.

"Didn't Boss Zhang get up early in the morning!" Chen Gong responded with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Gong does not have the slightest shelf of the county government master book, and the neighbors also love to greet this Chen Gong who was famous as a prodigy when he was a child, but he only did the main book of the county government when he was established.

In private, the neighbors also feel sorry for this Chen Gong's book, so many years Chen Gong's political achievements are in everyone's eyes, but this strange thing is that after so many years, the official hat worn on Chen Gong's head has not changed at all, the strange thing is that the successive county magistrates of the county government can be promoted every time they reach their term, and all the county magistrates are like this, without exception.

Of course, these complaints can only be sent secretly, if they reach the ears of the county government, things will not be so simple for a long time, and the person with the biggest hat in the county government will not be as good at talking as Chen Zhushu.

The cold wind in the early winter morning was already cold, and the frozen Chen Gong shivered, and Chen Gong reached out and tightened the cotton robe on his body.

Seeing that the street had come to an end, turning left and arriving at the county office, Chen Gong hurriedly quickened his pace.

Chen Gong lowered his head and walked briskly, just keeping his head down and hurrying away, and accidentally collided with the pedestrians on the opposite side.

Before Chen Gong could look up and see the face of the person who came, he hurriedly said to make amends: "I'm really sorry, you didn't bump into it!" ”

Chen Gong raised his head and looked at it, in front of him was a person dressed as a Taoist priest, the original cyan Taoist robe could no longer see the original color, not because it was washed too much, on the contrary, Chen Gong felt that it had not been washed much.

The sharp-eyed Chen Gong even saw a hole in the robe with a bowl mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay!" The sloppy Taoist spoke.

As soon as the sloppy Taoist spoke, a strong smell of wine went straight to the door of Chen Gong, and the Taoist in front of him was drinking a lot!

After the sloppy Taoist finished speaking, he stumbled and almost fell, but Chen Gong barely fell down when he held on.

However, Chen Gong's brand-new cotton robe was rubbed by this sloppy Taoist, and it suddenly became a big black piece, and Chen Gong didn't care about it when he saw this.

"You're all right!" Chen Gong asked.

"It's okay, it's okay......" said that it was okay, but the staggering steps looked like it was okay.

Chen Gong was afraid that he would fall again, so he continued to support the sloppy Taoist priest.

"Where have you been practicing?" Chen Gong asked while holding the sloppy Taoist.

"What?" The sloppy Taoist seems to be a little behind his ears.

"I said, where do you always practice!" Chen Gong raised his voice and repeated again.

"Oh, you're asking me where I practice! , I, there is no door and no sect to cultivate one, I am cultivating the way of heaven, practicing humanity, not believing in heaven and earth, and not respecting ghosts and gods! The sloppy Taoist said.

"The old fairy is free and easy!" Listening to the crazy words of the sloppy Taoist, Chen Gong said helplessly.

"If I were an immortal, then if you bumped into me today, would you have bumped into an immortal," the sloppy Taoist grinned.

"That's a blessing for me!" Chen Gong also laughed.

"Oops, I've soiled your cotton robe," the sloppy Taoist suddenly saw the stains he had made on Chen Gong's robe.

Saying that, the sloppy Taoist touched Chen Gong's cotton robe, and the sloppy Taoist's hand added a black handprint to the cotton robe.

Chen Gong was not angry: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

"Then what's the matter, I have to pay you this robe!" The sloppy Taoist said firmly.

"It's okay, it's okay......" Chen Gong saw that the sloppy Taoist really wanted to take off his Taoist robe, and hurriedly said again and again.

"That's fine!" The sloppy Taoist smiled and put on the half-taken Taoist robe.

Faced with the helplessness of the sloppy Taoist, Chen Gong could only smile.

"Since your cotton robe is already dirty, if you don't give me your cotton robe, it's already dirty anyway, and you probably won't wear it again in the future, so you might as well give it to me."

The sloppy Taoist stared at the cotton robe on Chen Gong's body with sloppy eyes! ”

Chen Gong smiled dumbly: "Since the old immortal wants it, I will give it to you, it can be regarded as a compensation for bumping into you!" ”

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful!" The sloppy Taoist rubbed it and said shyly.

Chen Gong took off his cotton robe and draped it over the sloppy Taoist.

The sloppy Taoist hurriedly pulled the cotton robe on his body: "You are a scholar, you can't regret it, you can't give this robe back!" ”

"Since it's given to you, naturally you won't want to go back!" Chen Gong said with an indifferent smile.

"Then I don't believe it, your words are the most unreliable!" The sloppy Taoist tightly grabbed the cotton robe on his body and ran into the distance, and his staggering steps almost fell again.

Seeing this scene, Chen Gong smiled calmly: "Be careful, no one will rob you of the cotton robe!" ”

Seeing that the sloppy Taoist had gone away, Chen Gong felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his head, and then realized that he had taken off his cotton robe and stood in the cold wind.

Chen Gong took two steps and hurriedly ran to the county office, found an old robe in the county office, and baked it on the fire, so he felt a little warmth.

Chen Gong knew in his heart that the cotton robe was taken away by the sloppy Taoist, and he was wearing a thin and shabby Taoist robe when he saw the sloppy Taoist being cold, and he gave him his cotton robe because he couldn't bear it.

Feeling the warmth of the body, I went to correct the official document, and it was not surprising that the official document that should have been sent to the county magistrate was also sent to his own official case. Obviously, Chen Gong was already surprised by this, and corrected the official document.

A county is not big or small, but it is not small, if the whole county has to hand over the big and small things to one person, then the workload is not small.

It wasn't until the evening that Chen Gong said that the official documents on the official case had been processed, and Chen Gong stood up and stretched, in order to deal with the official documents, Chen Gong didn't even care about lunch, and the food sent was already cold.

Chen Gong fiddled with the fire to make it burn more vigorously, put on the old cotton robe and pushed open the door.

The snow that has stopped for a day, I don't know when it has fallen again, presumably when he corrected the official document, Chen Gong didn't think about it, and he was dizzy after correcting the official document for a day.

Looking at the falling snowflakes, Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh, he was still a small master in the county in his first year, and he really felt like a hero in the twilight.

But even so, Chen Gong never thought about deliberately flattering and pleasing anyone in the past, and the upright Chen Gong would definitely not do these things.

The family also persuaded Chen Gong to resign as an official, and he had to do what the chief bookkeeper and the county order did in front of him, what kind of thing is this!

Chen Gong himself also considered the matter of resignation, but then gave up after thinking about it seriously, he was an official who could ensure the political clarity of this county, and was regarded as a "gunman" for promotion by the county commander, so Chen Gong didn't care much.

When the eldest husband is alive, he does something and does not do something, which is what Chen Gong has always believed.

Suddenly, a line of words appeared on the snow in the courtyard, and Chen Gong could be sure that there was no word just now, but that line of words appeared out of thin air without any warning.

"I will accept your cotton robe today, and I will return you in the eastern suburbs outside the city in 15 days!" That's it.

Chen Gong blinked repeatedly, but the lines were still clearly visible.

Is this what the sloppy Taoist left today? Judging from the content, it can only be him, but how did he manage to write on the snow out of thin air? He also asked me to go to the eastern suburbs outside the city fifteen days later to find him and return the cotton robe.

Just as Chen Gong was still confused, a voice came from a distance.

I love myself for these peaks, and the peaks are more affectionate. The Dongliu River meanders and sails.

The crane returns in the sunset, and the moon is rare outside the mountain. Such a painting of the rivers and mountains is Danqing.

The voice of the sloppy Taoist that I encountered today. 、

Just as Chen Gong was immersed in the mysteries of the Dao Method, the voice of the sloppy Daoist in the distance came again.

"If you have dragon slaying skills, why bother with dragons!"

Although there are not many words, Chen Gong's heart has been turbulent, and after decades of being an official, the mood that had been polished to the extreme has rippled for the first time.

Fifteen days later, I will wait for you in the eastern suburbs outside the city, and since I have received your robe today, I will return you in fifteen days.

At this point, there was no more sloppy Taoist voice.

At this time, Chen Gong fell into deep thought, and the sloppy Taoist was in his words.

What he Chen Gong learned was the dragon slaying technique, and since ancient times, there has been a dragon slaying in troubled times, and the Taiping is attached to the dragon.

And what he Chen Gong learned was precisely the art of slaying dragons, and he was in Taiping, where could he slay the dragon, he only had to rely on the dragon named Dahan.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Gong is willing to be a small official, because Chen Gong clearly knows that Shoucheng is really not his strong point, but it is better to be comfortable as the head of a small county.

Chen Gong's body trembled slightly, this time not because of the cold wind, but from the heart of excitement and excitement.

Decades of waiting, isn't this the moment to wait, if you don't scream, this first chirp will slay the dragon!!!

Chen Gong didn't say a word, tightened the old cotton robe on his body, and walked into the house.

The charcoal fire became weak, Chen Gong took the tongs and plucked the charcoal, and the right hand holding the tongs was also trembling slightly.

"It's going to change!" Chen Gong stretched out his hand and flicked the charcoal fire with tongs, and said slowly.

Chen Gong, who is mysterious and sloppy today, can't guess the identity of today's mysterious and sloppy Taoist.

Just wait for fifteen days later, in the eastern suburbs outside the city, to see how this sloppy Taoist can repay the grace of this robe!

After decades of forbearance, how can I Chen Gongtai be the finch in the forest!

Thinking of this, the corners of Chen Gong's mouth curled slightly.

Chen Gong, who was immersed in memories, returned to reality, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and asked Xu Ping, "How long will it take to get to Huiji County?" ”

"Mr. Huiyu, you can get to the nearest county tonight after traveling overnight, where is the teleportation array, let's take the teleportation array directly and go back to Huiji!"
