Chapter 29: Chinese New Year's Eve
(Finally gave the tone of the whole text almost, I'm really tired, and I ask for all kinds of support!)
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu.
The first Spring Festival since Chen Jianchen's crossing finally came, and there was a lively atmosphere everywhere, with adults killing chickens and ducks, and children chasing and running and playing.
On this day, every household in Jingyang Village posted a brand-new couplet - a couplet written by "Wenqu Star" Chen Daxiucai.
Since Zhang Laosan shouted "Wenqu Xing" from Zhang Laosan's mouth that day, these three words have become synonymous with Chen Jianchen. In this regard, he did not say anything, and there was no need to say anything.
However, the end of the wolf demon was very tragic, lying on the ground and being beaten to death by the crowd without temper, and a beautiful wolf skin was also peeled off and sold at a high price - its death, under the auspices of Chen Jianchen, was attributed to the whole village. Therefore, the people of the entire Jingyang Village have been allocated more or less silver, and they can live a fat year comfortably.
At the same time, Chen Jianchen's reputation in the village reached its peak.
- Originally, Chen Jianchen wanted to take out the wolf demon's inner dan and give it to Ying Ning, but it backfired, it turned out that when he used the evil pen to write the word "zheng" on the wolf demon's chest, the wolf demon's inner dan was suppressed by righteousness.
This is the root cause of the wolf demon's instant "cripple".
Ying Ning had quietly returned to the back mountain of Fengshan, but when he left, he left a letter, which described that he went back to inquire about the news, but was unexpectedly seen by the wolf demon and chased all the way. For this reason, it repeatedly apologized, saying that because of its own reasons, Jingyang Village was ravaged by wolf demons, but fortunately there were no casualties, only a few timid people were scared out of an illness...... To compensate for their losses, Ying Ning promised to give them gold and silver.
Sure enough, in the days to come, those villagers would pick up money from time to time in the process of going out, and there were quite a few of them. They all felt overjoyed, sighed that God had opened their eyes, and when they returned, they immediately prepared three animals and worshiped the father-in-law of the land, in order to thank the god of the land for his blessing and make themselves a windfall......
The headless statue of the god of the land has been replaced with a new one - no one knows why the head of the land lord was suddenly broken, although it seems to be artificial, but there is no clue, it can only be regarded as a bad boy by the naughty boy, it is difficult to investigate.
Ying Ning gave gold and silver to the frightened villagers, but left a sentence for Chen Jianchen: The righteousness of the son is high and the mountains and rivers are long, and the report of Ying Ning is not forgotten......
After reading it, Chen Jianchen laughed.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of others, Chen Jianchen spent most of his time quietly in the study; externally, he claimed that it was to prepare for the opening of the college, but in fact, he was digesting the article in his mind:
"Sanli True Chapter"!
This article, with nine hundred and eighty-one words, was deeply engraved on Chen Jianchen's heart like a knife carving, and he could never forget the slightest.
The article is in the heart, the words are beautiful, and the initiation is initiated.
Chen Jianchen soon understood that this was a secret book for cultivating Haoran righteousness, which was equivalent to the Dao method of the Daomen, and it was hidden in the pen of the pen to ward off evil spirits.
The pen is sharp, and the real chapter is seen.
This true chapter opened up a world in Chen Jianchen's Mud Pill Palace, but at present, this world is still a dark and chaotic world, and I don't know what scale it looks like.
There seems to be another person in that world, and it seems that the pen of warding off evil spirits has also run in.
-- The pen of warding off evil spirits disappeared out of thin air, and not long after the pen was opened, Chen Jianchen only felt that his hand was empty, and the pen he had held in his hand suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, the villagers at that time paid attention to the black wolf who fell to the ground, and did not see such a surprised moment.
The pen of warding off evil spirits is said to be the pen used by Zhong Kui, the master of ghost hunting, and Zhong Kui is a mythical character and a god in folklore. Although he was born with a leopard's head and eyes, an iron face and sideburns, and a strange appearance, he was a talented and wealthy figure.
So, what are the real facts?
Chen Jianchen doesn't know at the moment, although the mystery is hidden in his Mud Pill Palace, it is still an unsolved mystery. But he was not in a hurry, because the key to decryption had already been obtained in his hand, which was the "Sanli True Chapter".
According to the true chapter, the cultivation of righteousness can be divided into three realms, from low to high, which are "speech", "meritorious service" and "virtue".
Those who can "make speeches" are true Confucians, those who can "make meritorious contributions" are great Confucians, and those who can "establish virtues" should be saints and Confucians, righteous and heroic, and immortal in heaven and earth.
This Confucianism is by no means the Confucianism in the Heavenly Dynasty whose bodies have collapsed, the pen has rotten, and the heart has rotted.
One true and one false, the two cannot be compared.
However, "Sanli Zhenzhang", the words are exquisite, the meaning is profound and broad, and the meaning is long, but it is not something that Chen Jianchen can fully understand and grasp in a short period of time.
Meals should be eaten in one bite, the road should be walked step by step, and qi should be nourished day by day.
I don't have an evil pen in my hand, but I have a real chapter in my heart. It doesn't matter if the fish is gone, as long as you learn the means and methods of fishing, are you still afraid that you won't have fish to eat?
This is the great truth that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
Therefore, Chen Jianchen's heart is full and satisfied.
......
Bao's heart is also full and satisfied, since she became an orphan, she has never enjoyed the warmth and love of family affection, and she can only huddle alone in a small land temple every day, surrounded by walls, frightened.
It was Chen Jianchen's words that changed her life.
For this young intimate, gradually growing older and becoming unfamiliar, and now slowly familiar with Brother Liuxian, Ah Bao not only has deep gratitude, but also admiration and fascination that has been hidden in his heart for many years. And every day when he sees Chen Jianchen eating the food he cooks with relish, and seeing him sitting in the study that he has cleaned up neatly and cleanly, reading and writing, Ah Bao is very satisfied.
It's just that Brother Liuxian will soon enter the big academy in Jiangzhou City to study, and once he enters, he will not be able to go home to visit for several months.
Jiangzhou City is full of flowers, I heard that there is a special women's college in the city, many ladies and famous ladies will study there, and the women's college and the men's college often hold poetry meetings, social gatherings or something...... At that time, Brother Liuxian will definitely have a good time.
"Bao, have you washed the dishes?"
Hearing Mo Sanniang's call, Po was stunned, and quickly picked up the green vegetables in the wooden pot, packed them, and brought them into the kitchen - hey, don't think too much about things in the future, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, hurry up and do a good job on Chinese New Year's Eve. Brother Liuxian has been reading in the study for a day, and he should be hungry......
