Chapter 191: Thoughts

After Daoist Tian was stunned, he also bowed solemnly.

This living Buddha, who doesn't know how long he has spent his years, finally passed away after his last wish was fulfilled. Maybe you've already gone to the Western Elysium......

But the timing is a bit awkward. As soon as he finished talking, the Zen master passed away, and these monks outside would not suspect that they had snatched the treasure and killed people......

After all, I still have a bowl in my hand......

His eyes glanced at him a little weakly, but fortunately, these monks were not so vexatious, they just continued to close their eyes and recite the tongue-twisting scriptures, regardless of whether his movements were going or staying.

"It's okay." Daoist Tian breathed a sigh of relief, bowed three times with respect for this senior who had a righteous heart until his death, and turned to leave the temple, where only the sound of monks chanting scriptures remained.

After the Lingyou Zen Master leaves, I am afraid that this temple will no longer have the reputation it once had, and it may be buried in this deep mountain and old forest, and no one will care about it again......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At this time, the Sheng family of Yuanyang City.

Sheng Yunting was lying in front of the window of his room sighing, and the little guy behind him handed over a book a little timidly, "Third Young Master, it's time to read......

"What a broken book!" Sheng Yunting slapped it to the ground irritably, raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky, sullen, "Isn't it just that two animals were released again, why is my mother so angry?" ”

"Young master, your expenses this month have been three hundred taels!" The little maid couldn't help but whispered, "And as soon as this imperial examination is over, you go to buy those birds and beasts to release, and the master mother is naturally angry and wants to lock you up in this house......"

"Alas...... Mother, she knows something. How can the imperial examination wait for those spiritual creatures to come back to repay the kindness! Sheng Yunting muttered.

Probably because of this release habit, as soon as he was free to go out, he couldn't help but release two more animals, but when he got home, he was caught by his father and mother.

I felt helpless for a while, and just wanted to turn around, but I saw a familiar figure not far from the house gradually approaching, and I suddenly felt refreshed, and hurriedly returned to the desk, making a good reading appearance.

There were also some little guys who didn't feel their heads for a moment, and they heard the hearty laughter of the second young master behind them, "Yunting, you don't have to pretend anymore, I have seen your second brother!" ”

"Second Young Master!" The little guy immediately greeted respectfully.

"Second brother still understands me......" Sheng Yunting scratched his head, and did not continue to pretend to be reading, looking back at the handsome and burly young man at the door.

The second young master's name is Sheng Fengjie, he has been strong since he was a child, and he went to the army in the early years to become a military attachΓ©, and he is often stationed outside, and rarely goes home. Recently, I was free, and I happened to meet this imperial examination, so I went home.

Perhaps it was also because he also didn't like these literati things, so he didn't force these three brothers to study like his parents.

However, Sheng Yunting didn't like this second brother very much because of this, because he would always persuade himself to join the army like him and serve the motherland.

Like at this moment.

"Third brother, if you really don't like to study, it doesn't matter, go to the army with me, play with guns and swords, and show manliness, wouldn't it be faster than yes!" Sheng Fengjie said with a smile.

"That's not necessary." Sheng Yunting hurriedly shook his head. Looking at the second brother's dark body because of his long-term training in martial arts, as well as the strong muscles on his arms, and looking at his thin arms, he wanted to continue to eat here and wait for death.

"Alas, third brother, then you don't want to be from literature or martial arts, what do you want to do in the future?" Sheng Fengjie looked at this unsuccessful younger brother and couldn't help but sigh.

Sheng Yunting was speechless for a while, his eyes dodged slightly, after all, even he himself was still confused.

Perhaps he himself subconsciously knew that the almost absurd idea of releasing animals expecting monsters to repay him was just a means for him to escape from reality.

In fact, he also knows that this is almost impossible, words are words, legends are legends, and there is almost no possibility of intersecting with reality.

Just as he is just the most mediocre person, just hanging the identity of the third son of the Sheng family, there are countless people around him who have high hopes for him, hoping that he can get ahead and live up to the glory brought by this identity.

But who thinks about himself? He's just the most ordinary person!

The head is not smart or stupid, the body is not strong and not weak, the face is a little handsome but there is no Yushu Linfeng, if you put aside the identity of the third son of the Sheng family, he is probably just a mortal who is not known to everyone.

Just because he liked to read some books with words more than his two older brothers when he was a child, his father and mother expected to take the imperial examination and win the top prize. But this is clearly impossible!

I don't know when he learned to escape from reality, deliberately not studying seriously, deliberately wandering around, and refusing to put his mind on the imperial examination. This may also be a manifestation that he doesn't want to admit defeat, doesn't want to admit that he is just an ordinary person, wants to tell those who are staring at him in secret, and wants to tell his parents - "You see, I'm not too stupid to fail the exam, it's just that I don't want to study like those nerds, so I don't take the exam seriously." ”

This approach, which borders on self-deception, is also the only way for him to escape the somewhat cruel reality. Among them, the so-called ghosts that are beyond his knowledge have become one of the shortcuts in his mind that may be able to escape this endless loop.

It is probably the only spiritual sustenance that he is unwilling to succumb to reality, and he is always unwilling to give up.

"If there really is a monster to come back to repay the favor, then maybe I can also get the top prize......" Sometimes, he would think so self-deprecatingly.

Just as he knew that he might not be able to wait for the monster who would come back to repay his kindness in this life, it was impossible for him to be admitted to the top prize.

Sheng Fengjie naturally didn't notice the contradictory thoughts in his younger brother's heart, but suddenly remembered one thing and asked, "By the way, I heard that you have been in close contact with the son-in-law of the Su family recently?" ”

"yes. What's wrong? Sheng Yunting didn't understand why his brother suddenly mentioned this matter, and was a little puzzled.

"It's not a big deal. I just happened to hear some things about the Su family, especially that son-in-law, there is a guy with a lot of background in Fucheng who seems to want to rectify them, you remember not to get too close to him in the future, otherwise I'm afraid there will be some trouble. ”

"Huh? What's going on? Tell me about it! ”

Sheng Yunting suddenly became a little nervous, after all, Brother Du was his rare friend, and when he heard that the other party might be in trouble, he was naturally a little anxious.
