Chapter 22: Scholars

Hearing that Chen Chuchu was going on a long trip, Old Man Fan's cloudy eyes vaguely reflected Chen Chuchu's figure, and for the first time, there was no choking, and he asked faintly: "Are you going to take the fame test?" ”

Chen Chuchu shook his head and smiled: "It's not fame, I'm used to being idle and not suitable for officialdom, I just promised my friend something to do, and it may take a few months to come back." He gently held Old Man Fan's dry hand and said, "You are too stubborn, you will be happy if you take a little." I have asked my neighbors to come over from time to time, and if you need anything, you can ask them and they will help you. ”

Old man Fan clasped Chen Chuchu's hands with his backhand, very hard: "The world is getting more and more chaotic, there is chaos outside, and there are bandits and thieves all over the ground, you ...... You have to come back early. ”

There was a hint of care in the dry voice of the old fan.

Chen Chuchu's heart warmed, he withdrew his hand, took out three runes from his pocket and put them in his hand and said: "Although I am a scholar, I have also learned a little magic from the masters, these three rune papers, folded into a triangle and carried with you, do not get caught in the fire, can ward off evil spirits and break evil to ensure peace for a while, if these two runes turn into ashes, please immediately burn the last rune paper and speak to the fire, I will know." ”

After he said this, he clenched his fists, took a small bag, and left the courtyard gate. There is a sister's birthday on the back of the rune paper, which will not hurt her.

Old man Fan walked to the door and looked in the direction where Chen Qiqi had gone, and didn't say anything, just walked back to the yard and sat on the stone again to look at the rape flowers all over the ground.

Chen Qiqi was walking in Zichuan County with a small bag, and stopped when he passed by the door of Tan Jinxuan's house, Xu Sanniang happened to be sweeping the floor and wanted to invite him in. Chen Chu politely refused, took out a booklet from his bag and handed it to Xu Sanniang: "Brother Tan has helped me a lot, my practice book should be of some help to him, among which the small red characters are a little personal annotation and experience, I hope Brother Tan will refer to it as appropriate......"

Xu Sanniang took the booklet and found that the booklet was very hard, the words inside were very clear, the pages were white and clean, and she was just about to thank her.

Chen Qiqi smiled and waved his hand: "Where I rented a house, that old man Fan Ming is alone, if Brother Tan has time, he occasionally goes over to help take a look, Chen is grateful." ”

Xu Sanniang nodded in agreement.

She didn't understand why the old man and Chen Chuchu were not related, but just a simple tenant relationship, so why they were so good. But soon she figured it out, because Chen Chuchu has a chivalrous spirit, what is a chivalrous person, the road is uneven, cutting the traitor and eliminating the evil, not only knows how to wield a knife, but also knows how to care, is chivalrous, of course, this is a sentence from a book in Tan Jinxuan's father's study.

Outside the county gate of Zichuan County.

Ah Clam drove an ox cart and waited for a long time: "Master, it's ready." ”

Chen Qiqi hummed and sat on the cart behind the ox cart: "Just call me Gongzi in the future, go find your two brothers now." ”

Ah Clam stiffened, and he had already been mentally prepared, but when Chen Chu said it, he still couldn't help but stand upside down, and at this moment he squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay." ”

Chen took out the wooden box, and the original lid of the wooden box was replaced with high-permeability glass, so that he could see the direction of the flow of essence and blood inside without opening the lid.

The old cow opened his hooves and pulled the cart and walked slowly.

Chen Qiqi watched the place where he had lived for more than a month gradually disappear from view, took out a bottle of water and poured it on his face, he liked the feeling of soaking in cold water.

This time, the direction is to the south.

The matter of the Wutong God is not so simple, according to Ah Clam's confession, the five brothers who claim to be the Wutong God are actually just practicing the Wutong Mystery Method, and the boss's mana is the highest and the most mysterious! At first, he was inseparable from his brothers, but he slowly appeared less and less often......

Lao Wubai often secretly said such a sentence to A Clam.

Bai Chang suspected that the boss had found the real Wutong Demon God through the Wutong Secret Method, so the realm cultivation had risen so fast! At first, Ah Clam thought that Bai Chang was talking nonsense and thinking too much, but as time went by, the boss seemed to be more and more wrong, and the madman who was once full of foul language and rough appearance became gentle and elegant, and even learned to read books.

You know, he's a clam, Qingwan layman!

Although it is dressed in the appearance of a scholar, it is limited to the appearance, who will really read the headache of the sage book, just memorize a few poems to support the scene, there is no need to be serious.

Chen Chu had a vague feeling that this time he went to the south and was likely to touch the real Wutong Demon God, he rummaged through the stories and didn't find anything other than "Wutong", the five monsters in "Wutong" are very likely to be the five brothers Manren, Bai Chang and Qingwan Jushi, after all, they can be killed by Wufu in the original book, they are very suitable for this condition.

It's just that the real Wutong Demon God has no clue, he has checked the relevant information before, and the answers given on the Internet are very polarized, the former is an orthodox heavenly palace priest, who cruises in the mortal world, is compassionate, and kills evil and evil. The latter is the wilderness mandrill that becomes the climate, and exclusively sucks the pure yin of the woman to grow......

The wooden wheels were wrapped in leather, and the road was still bumpy, and Chen Chu pasted a piece of talisman paper on the cart to reduce the weight, not that he couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey, but that the old cow that Ah Clam had driven had begun to show a state of exhaustion. In the blue sky and daylight, it is impossible to summon the mountain rat spirit as a coolie, and he can find an old cow temporarily, and Ah Clam has tried his best.

A few days later.

After a sudden heavy rain, the uneven road surface became muddy, but fortunately, the board car was blessed with rune paper, and the old cow was not affected too much......

Chen Chu was sitting cross-legged on the cart to practice, and suddenly heard Ah Clam's shouting in his ears: "The scholar in front of him let me go!" ”

He opened his eyelids.

In front of him was a thirty-year-old man in a gray robe, the ground had not yet dried up after the rain, puddles and mud puddles were everywhere, he was holding a book in his hand and reading aloud as if no one was around, ignoring the fact that his boots had stepped into the mud puddles, and the corners of his robe were covered with patches of half-dried mud.

Chen Chu pretended to be a scholar, lived in Zichuan County for more than a month, and also met several scholars, including Tan Jinxuan, who did not have this kind of selfless realm in reading......

The old cow walked very fast, the cart swayed back and forth, Ah Clam could only stop the old cow's pace, was furious, stopped next to the middle-aged scholar and scolded loudly: "You are not a deaf person? Whether it's reading, but I still have to walk in the middle, I shouted in the back for a long time, and I was all in your ears? ”

The middle-aged man raised his head at this time, saw the ox cart, oh, and walked two steps to the side to continue the state just now, reading as he walked.

Ah Clam and Chen Chuchu, the two fake scholars, are all blindfolded, could it be that this is the real state of contemporary readers, isn't it a demon?

The ox cart passed by the middle-aged scholar, and Ah Clam's nose sniffed, and said to Chen Chuchu in a low voice: "Lord...... Childe, this scholar has a strange demonic aura on his body, and he is neither a beast nor a bird. ”
