Chapter 9: Po

(Thank you for your strength, and thank you for the southern pilgrimage.) Now that the rookie list is ninth, is there a chance to go further?

Airplanes!

As thin as a mosquito's chirping, almost at the same time, a glimmer of light burst from the tip of the pen resting on the inkstone, like a miniature version of lightning, disappeared in an instant......

In this regard, Chen Jianchen, who was standing at the window with his hands and looking out, knew nothing.

After sending Wang Fu away, he always felt uneasy, and it was like sitting on pins and needles when the Taoist priest could not go home. The reason, in addition to part of his worries about Wang Fu, is more of his questioning about the origin of the peach blossom's identity - Chen Jianchen wants to get to the bottom of this matter, in case things are really as unbearable and dangerous as imagined, it is better to be prepared as early as possible, than to lose his life in a daze.

Outside the window, the sunset is like blood.

Chen Jianchen suddenly turned around, came to the desk, and without thinking, picked up the evil pen, and wrote a big character on the white paper spread out on the table:

"Chaos"!

The word dragon flying and phoenix dancing, hearty, very imposing, and usually written in a decent regular script judgment like clouds.

Since he got used to writing with a brush, Chen Jianchen deliberately used the time he spent reading to copy and practice calligraphy, and his interest in practicing calligraphy was much greater than that of memorizing the four books -- the energy of reading could not change in a short period of time, so practicing the characters first was also a useful skill for life.

You must know that in the Tiantong Dynasty, you can write well and eat well, and if you become a famous calligrapher, you will be covered by a halo, and you will be respected and sought after everywhere.

"Those who disturb my heart, today is a day of trouble......

Chen Jianchen sighed, put down the brush, and walked out of the study.

"Liuxian, it's almost dinner, where are you going?"

Hearing the movement, Mo Sanniang poked her head out of the kitchen and asked.

Chen Jianchen replied: "Mother, I'll go out for a walk and come back......"

The body had already stepped out of the gate, and without stopping all the way, he went straight out to the outside of the village entrance.

The sun is thin, the sky is red, and the sky is filled with a strange atmosphere.

Chen Jianchen came to the edge of the stream outside the village, looked at the sky with his hands in his hands, and suddenly a timid greeting came from the side: "Brother Liuxian, why are you ...... here?"

Chen Jianchen was stunned, and saw a girl in a blue coarse cotton coat standing crisply three steps away from him, the girl's eyebrows were picturesque, fresh and refined, although the body was not stained with a little jewelry, but it seemed that the water was out of hibiscus, clean and elegant, like a slim lotus.

Bao......

Soon, such a name came to Chen Jianchen's mind - Ah Bao is a girl living at the end of Jingyang Village, only thirteen years old this year, her parents died early, and she is very pitiful. In their childhood, Chen Jianchen and Ah Bao at that time often played with water and mud and sand together, which was a bit of a childhood sweetheart. However, as Chen Jianchen gradually embarked on the road of studying, the relationship between them gradually became estranged and slowly broke off.

In the past, Chen Jianchen was a typical nerd, with a stinky and twisted temper, and he ignored everything except reading. However, Ah Bao would secretly come to Chen Jianchen's private school every once in a while, and listened to his reading sound from a distance, and listened to it very intoxicatingly.

Of course, Chen Jianchen was unaware of these things at that time - even if he did, he would not say anything.

After the death of Bao's parents, life was very miserable, no relatives, no land, no crafts, can only rely on the mountains to collect firewood and collect wild fruits for a living, her family house has long been collapsed and uninhabitable, so she lives in a small temple at the back of the village. Usually, when the people in the village see her pitiful, they will occasionally send her some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and give her all the money.

The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, although Bao is illiterate, but he is simple, but he understands a lot of truths, plus he has a well-behaved personality, is naturally beautiful, and he is like a flower. Now I am only young, and I can't talk about marriage, but if I grow up for another two years, I will probably be able to find a solid family to marry and get rid of a miserable life.

In fact, in recent years, some eight aunts and six mothers-in-law have come over to pick up Ah Bao to be a child daughter-in-law for others, and the objects even include large families in Jiangzhou City. But somehow, Ah Bao shook his head and refused, preferring to live alone in silence......

Touched by Chen Jianchen's two glances, the girl hurriedly lowered her head, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her two small hands uneasily, and snorted: "Oh, this...... Forget that you are a showman now, and you have a meritorious reputation, I should be called ......"

"Let's call it Brother Liuxian, I think it sounds good. ”

Her words below were suddenly blocked by Chen Jianchen.

Ah Bao raised her head in surprise, her black and white eyes opened quite wide, and when she made contact with Chen Jianchen's eyes, she quickly dodged, her face flushed and she didn't know what to say - thinking about it, she seemed to have not spoken a word to Chen Jianchen for many years. Although the two are in the same village, they have their own lives, and it seems that they are separated by a world.

Looking at his old torn cotton clothes, Chen Jianchen asked, "The weather is so cold, why did you run out?"

Although it was sunny today, it was dry and cold, and now in the evening, the north wind is blowing, and the north wind is blowing on Bao's body, she faintly trembles, like a flower cowering in the wind.

Hearing Chen Jianchen's question, Ah Bao was still habitually nervous, and only replied softly after a while: "Just now, a Taoist priest came from nowhere and came to the Digong Temple...... I was a little scared and ran out. ”

Her voice was timid and soft, Chen Jianchen almost didn't hear clearly, first reacted like an "oh", and then a spirit: "Daoist, what kind of Taoist?"

After saying a few more words, Ah Bao's mood gradually relaxed, and he explained: "Well, it's a middle-aged Taoist priest with a beard...... There was also a bamboo pole sign with words written on it, but I didn't know what it was. ”

Chen Jianchen suddenly asked, "Does he have a wooden sword on his back, and does he hold a bell in his other hand?"

Ah Bao scratched his head and thought for a while before saying, "It seems that he is carrying a sword on his back, but the bell is not visible...... I didn't see it too clearly and ran out. ”

Chen Jianchen thought for a moment, thinking that this Taoist priest was probably the Laoshan Taoist priest, who really had no place to find his iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it, and he couldn't find him outside, but the other party ran to the village silently, but he didn't know what to mess with......

For this Taoist priest, Chen Jianchen didn't have too many substantive wishes now, he just wanted to ask him something clearly. As for whether the other party is a legendary outsider, we have to meet and understand each other, so as to formulate a more detailed response plan.

Thinking of this, Chen Jianchen was afraid that the Taoist priest would run away again, so he immediately pulled out his legs and walked to the back village and rushed to the Digong Temple. Po didn't know why, but followed without the slightest hesitation.
