Chapter Seventy-Nine: Exploring the City God at Night

"It's not just different, it's just eight buckets high, incomparable~!" Master Jiang chuckled and explained to the housekeeper, "This second son of Lord Liu, before he reached the crown, has reached an unattainable height in piano, calligraphy, and painting!" ”

"It is said that he was 'unparalleled in the piano' at a young age, and the sound of the piano attracted hundreds of birds and thousands of birds, which can become a spectacle of hundreds of birds and phoenixes, so as to be famous in Chang'an, and attracted the current saint to meet in person!

His calligraphy and painting attainments are rare in the world, not only shocking many famous calligraphy and painting masters, but even in the imperial study of Ouchi, there are still several pairs of his ink treasures! ”

"Second son Liu, at a young age, it's really amazing!"

"Of course, with his talent, if he becomes an official in the future, he will have a bright future, even his father Lord Liu is beyond his reach~~" Jiang Ziyun couldn't help but sigh.

"A few months, I had a relationship with him in Shangshu Mansion, but I didn't expect him to pass by Weinan today! Butler, tell me to go down and prepare a sumptuous banquet, and I will treat Liu Xian's nephew well! ”

Jiang Ziyun didn't want to miss this opportunity, Lin Chuan was already famous, and he would step into officialdom in the future and rise to prominence, not to mention that he was definitely a first-class 'potential stock'.

The reception hall of Jiang's house

Lin Chuan held the teacup, tasting the Biluo spring tea in the cup, the brown was silver and green, the emerald green was attractive, as the boutique in the Biluo spring tea, drinking fragrant tea, eating the snacks on the table, Lin Chuan was very comfortable.

"Virtuous nephew~~ Chang'an has come here, all the way to here, the old man has set up a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!!" Seeing a hearty laugh coming from outside the door, Lin Chuan rolled his eyes, slowly put down the teacup, showed a smiling face, and got up to greet him.

"Long time no see. Shibo's style is still the same! Passing by Weinan today, the little nephew came to your house to meet Shibo, if there is anything abrupt, I hope that Shibo is not strange! Lin Chuan held the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile.

Master Jiang, who is in the officialdom, is even more skilled. I saw him say with a smile, "Where is it, today Chang'an's 'three unique talents' are coming to the door, and my Jiang family is shining~!" ”

is worthy of being an old fox in officialdom, as soon as they met, he quietly put on a high hat for Lin Chuan, and he was good at dancing with long sleeves, nothing more!

After some greetings, Lin Chuan and Master Jiang sat in the lobby. Drinking tea and talking, Master Jiang asked about Lin Chuan's long trip.

Lin Chuan knew that he couldn't hide the "human spirit" from Master Jiang, so he simply told him, "I wanted to leave the world, but my father didn't allow it, and I made a contract with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately my chess skills couldn't meet my father's requirements, and I was forced to do it." The late student had to leave a book at night and run away! ”

Master Jiang quipped to Lin Chuan 'at the right time', "Haha~!" I didn't expect a virtuous nephew who can be called a genius. There are the shortcomings of the blemishes, too! really responded to the old saying, 'no one is perfect'~~"

In the end, Master Jiang had a flash of inspiration and thought of an excellent idea, so he said "without missing traces", "Virtuous nephew, if you don't dislike the simplicity of the Jiang family." You might as well stay a few more days, walk around here, and take a look at the customs of Weinan! ”

Lin Chuan had this idea from the beginning, and when he saw that Master Jiang had finally taken the bait, he was secretly happy in his heart. But on the surface. Still, pretend to be in deep thought.

It seemed that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and Lin Chuan replied after half a sound, "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful, and my nephew will stay for a few days, thank you for your hospitality!" ”

"Good, good! The banquet is ready safely, let's go to the table~! Saying that, Master Jiang enthusiastically led Lin Chuan to the dining room for dinner.

When he got up and walked out of the room, Master Jiang deliberately walked behind, avoiding Lin Chuan's sight, and whispered to the people next to him, "Quickly call Miss out, just say that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door today, and ask her to dress up, don't lose the face of my Jiang family's 'Shili family'!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Jiang hurriedly caught up with Lin Chuan in front of him and enthusiastically led the way for Lin Chuan, "My Jiang family is a poor scholarly family, and they are all coarse tea and light rice on weekdays, and I hope that my nephew will not dislike it!" ”

Lin Chuan still looks like a polite scholar, but in his heart he despises "You old fox, this trick of pretending to be poor has also been used, I don't believe it, living in such a luxurious waiter's mansion, I only eat some radish and cabbage every day!" ”

Lin Chuan, as a relative of his direct boss, in order not to be criticized by his colleagues, Master Jiang naturally has to be careful at all times and not leave anyone else with any verbal handles!

Coming to the dining room, Lin Chuan looked at the dazzling array of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and said secretly, "Old fox, say one thing and do another, this table of delicacies alone is probably enough for an ordinary waiter for half a month~!" ”

Master Jiang asked Lin Chuan to sit down and said to him, "These are all delicacies and wild game sent by relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays, and the virtuous nephew might as well try it!" Inadvertently, Master Jiang once again pushed the cost of this table of luxurious dishes away!!

Lin Chuan smiled and used chopsticks to taste, not to mention that the chefs of Jiang Mansion have good skills, and the dishes made are full of color, aroma, and taste, and the taste is slightly different from ordinary people, which has a different taste!!

Lin Chuan, who has been hurrying for days, can eat hard, but Master Jiang himself has a mouthful of "absent-mindedness", and seems to be deliberately waiting for something~!

"Dad, I heard that there are guests in Chang'an!" Suddenly, a young lady walked in briskly from outside the door, only to see her white skin Saixue, delicate facial features, showing everyone's beautiful temperament, this person is the only daughter of Master Jiang - Jiang Qianqian!

Master Jiang got up and introduced Lin Chuan very enthusiastically, "Virtuous nephew, this is the little girl Qianqian." At the same time, he said to his daughter, "This is the famous 'Chang'an Three Uniques', Liu Jinchuan and Liu Xian's nephew!" ”

Master Jiang continued, and the meaning of closeness and matchmaking in his words was already obvious, and it was self-evident.

It's a pity that Lin Chuan has no interest in this young and beautiful daughter of the Jiang family, who is full of poetry and books, and "pretends to be stupid" from beginning to end, drinking and eating by himself, Master Jiang is not reluctant to see this, and continues to drink and chat with Lin Chuan, as if they are talking happily!

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and then a dignified but cunning scholar broke in, only to see him see the well-dressed Qianqian, his eyes lit up, and he shouted unscrupulously, "Shibo, Qianqian, it is said that there is a distinguished guest in the house~!" ……”

The resentment and disdain in Master Jiang's eyes flashed for a moment, but because Lin Chuan was present, it was not good to attack directly, so he said in a deep voice, "Qianqian, you take Tao Xian's nephew down first, don't affect the guests' meal!" ”

In the eyes of Master Jiang, Tao Wangsan is just a gangster whose daughter's classmates are acquainted. regards "family reputation above all else", and he has not been shy about Tao Wangsan from the beginning.

At this moment, he was holding a banquet to entertain the 'distinguished guest' Lin Chuan, Tao Wangsan, who was from a humble background, was arguing and shouting "without knowing whether he was alive or dead" at this time, how could he not let him get angry.

"The people in the Shilang Mansion are not polite and rude", if this matter spreads, then the reputation of the Jiang Mansion's 'scholarly family' will not be ruined, this is something that Master Jiang can't tolerate.

Qianqian, who knew her father's temperament well, understood that Master Jiang had already moved some real fire, so she hurriedly got up and confessed to Lin Chuan, and beckoned a few servants who were waiting. couldn't help but say, Tao Wangsan, who was 'messing around in the door', covered his mouth and went out directly!

"Shibo, that brother is the ...... of the house?" Lin Chuan asked knowingly.

Jiang Shilang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "It's just a down-and-out scholar from a poor background, and the virtuous nephew doesn't need to pay attention to it." Seeing Jiang Shilang's attitude of avoiding talking about it, Lin Chuan knew it in his heart.

Gently unveiled this little episode, and after the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had passed the five flavors, Jiang Shilang ordered the housekeeper to take Lin Chuan back to the guest room to rest!

On the way back to the room, Lin Chuan talked with the housekeeper for a few words, and learned that Tao Wangsan was not treated well by Master Jiang, and was arranged by Master Jiang to live in a nearby inn.

This Tao Wangsan had the idea of marrying the daughter of the Jiang family and joining the Jiang family from the beginning, Jiang Shilang disdained his humble background and opposed it in every way, so naturally he would not leave him in the Jiang Mansion and lure the wolf into the house!

For a few days in a row, Lin Chuan lived in the wing of the Jiang Mansion, and the Jiang Mansion was even more respectful to Lin Chuan.

These days, the relationship between Xiao Xie and Lin Chuan has become more and more harmonious, and even Qiu Rong and other ghosts who were originally 'afraid of Lin Chuan' have gradually changed their attitude towards Lin Chuan, the killing god, under the mediation of Xiao Xie!

After a few days of visits, Lin Chuan finally heard some secret old news about the Jiang Mansion Annex.

It is said that when Mrs. Jiang was repairing the Jiang family's courtyard, she once ran to the City God Temple in Weinan all day long, looking pious to pray to God and worship Buddha~! This is a good clue for Lin Chuan.

"The Temple seems to be the entry point to find the mastermind behind the scenes." Lin Chuan thought so, and that night Lin Chuan dressed up in a black night suit, sneaked out of Jiang's mansion, and went to the Weinan City God Temple.

The world of fairy swords is divided into six realms, the god world, the demon world, the fairy world, the human world, the demon world, the ghost world, the ghost world is also known as the 'underworld', 'underworld', 'underworld' and so on...... It is the end and beginning of reincarnation, which exists deep inside the earth.

The creatures of the Six Realms died and became ghosts, and the ghosts entered reincarnation and rejoined the Six Realms. This is the end of life, and at the same time the starting point.

The city god is a local institution in the world of ghosts, and the title of the city god is divided into king, duke, marquis, and uncle from high to low.

The city gods in the Weinan area, among the city gods in various places, are counted as third-class existences, and their strength is not strong! Although Lin Chuan has not yet fought with the gods, demons and monsters of the Immortal Sword World, and he doesn't know how strong he is, he still has the power to protect himself in front of the city god!

I saw the city god temple at night, golden and brilliant, red bricks and green tiles, incense candles and green smoke, showing the yin god of the ghost world, the majesty and power of the temple in the world, dozens of ethereal statues, under the illumination of the lamps and candles, extremely deep and expressive!

Lin Chuan quietly walked into the City God Temple, looking at the exquisite and majestic City God statue in the main hall, only to feel that there was a mysterious power coming to him, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to bow and worship in his heart, and his own spiritual power also tended to be suppressed.
