When Fu Nanhua walked out of the house, he found that the handsome maid was sitting on a small bench in the yard, holding a handful of corn in her hand, and was feeding the chickens.

After seeing her, Fu Nanhua smiled slightly, the girl didn't know whether she was shy or indifferent, and pulled the corners of her mouth, so she took it as a return gift.

After Fu Nanhua opened the courtyard door, he found that Cai Jinjian was waiting in the alley, and his interest was not high, he turned around and closed the door, and through the gradually narrowing crack of the door, he saw a face that raised his head and looked over. However, Fu Nanhua didn't think much about it, the woman with outstanding appearance, the ring fat swallow thin, and the graceful demeanor, for the young master of the old Dragon City, she was really tired of seeing it.

Walking side by side with Cai Jinjian, Fu Nanhua asked: "What's wrong, it's not going well? The matter of chance, there are many good things, and it may not be able to make a final decision every time, so you don't have to be discouraged." ”

Cai Jinjian was born with a soft and charming style, after practicing, washing the marrow and cutting the bones, only in terms of the body, compared to the secular woman, of course, it is as pure as glass, the woman under the mountain, at a glance, is shocked by the heavens, in the final analysis, after all, it is just a stinky skin.

At this time, the fairy of Yunxia Mountain did not look very good, which showed how bad her mood was, otherwise she would not be so obvious on her face, she should have held back her anger while waiting in the alley before, and she really didn't vomit or be unhappy, "There is a master who has taken the lead, and he is one of the head snakes of Shujian Lake, Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of the Intercepting River." There was not even a little room for negotiation, so I moved out of my Yunxia Mountain's head ancestor when we met, and came to suppress one of my juniors, and I only said a few words from beginning to end, and I drove him out of Gu Cang's yard. ”

Fu Nanhua was thoughtful and reminded: "Let's talk after leaving Mud Bottle Alley." ”

Cai Jinjian was puzzled: "Isn't it forbidden to use all spells here?"

Fu Nanhua said with a smile: "Who can come here to find opportunities, who doesn't have the ability to press the bottom of the box? Young people like you and me, maybe it's okay, according to the rules of the town, the more advanced the cultivation, the greater the suppression, under the saint, the closer the realm is to the saint, it stands to reason that the weaker as a child, right? But have you ever thought that if there are people who have attained the Tao and are fighting for the Tao, and they also have to exert their magical powers, is it really not as good as us backwards?"

Cai Jinjian retorted: "There is a saint here, and he dares to attack me blatantly?"

Fu Nanhua persuaded: "We are here to find good karma, not to settle grudges, even if we don't have to worry about our lives, we have a bad relationship with our predecessors, and we are not beautiful after all." ”

Cai Jinjian is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, nodded and said: "What Brother Fu said is very true, and it is an old and serious opinion. ”

She had a bitter face, pitiful, "But I'm really unwilling, I've already given you ten Yungen stones, if the bamboo basket is empty, how can I explain to the ancestors when I go back?"

After walking out of Mud Bottle Alley, Fu Nanhua and Cai Jinjian were refreshed almost at the same time, this was by no means as simple as the light suddenly brightened, the two looked at each other, and then quickly staggered their eyes.

Fu Nanhua, who was originally extremely excited, was also much calmer, he carefully thought about this trip to the alley, and the alliance with Cai Jinjian, he did not show any horses, and the transaction with the young Song Jixin, there was no mistake, it was a fair trade in accordance with the rules, how could the saint who sat and watched the wind and the water rise and fall here, how could he have the leisure to intervene? So where does this pressure come from? Could it be the Zhenjun of the Jiejiang River who has never even heard of the name? Compared with Fu Nanhua's far-reaching thoughts, Cai Jinjian's thoughts were simpler, thinking that Fu Nanhua had said that Jiejiang Zhenjun had indeed used some kind of magic spell to monitor himself. She was afraid for a while, but fortunately she only said some complaining words, and never said anything cruel.

The two of them walked on the street, the farther away from Mud Bottle Alley, the lighter the dull feeling in their hearts, Fu Nanhua felt that it was the weight of chance, and Cai Jinjian felt that it was the burden of the family.

Looking up at the archway in the distance, Fu Nanhua asked curiously: "The true monarch of Shujian Lake? Why don't I have any impression at all? Even if my old dragon city is located in the extreme south of a continent, but the position of the true monarch, how good it is, no matter how lonely I am, I should know something." ”

Cai Jinjian lowered his voice and sneered: " What is the true monarch, the real person in the side door is still in the front position, the most sanctimonious, and he is not qualified to be called a true monarch, the sycophant words of a good deed, thinking how shrewd Emperor Yuanwu is, naturally he will not crown this person as a true monarch, a radish and a pit, the title of true monarch, give one, it is likely to mean that you can't get it back for two hundred years, plus the grandeur of Emperor Yuanwu's ancestors, in his hands, there are only two places left for Zhenjun, and he will not casually give a reputation to a side door to repair. ”

Fu Nanhua suddenly, "I see." ”

Every true monarch sitting in the dynasty can collect, suppress and increase the fortunes of the country for the monarch.

The position of the true monarch of Taoism can almost be described as a person in the Taoist sect, at the apex of the temple of the secular dynasty, the Shangzhu country of the military family, and the bachelor of Confucianism, is also among them.

Cai Jinjian asked seemingly casually, "How about that Song Jixin?"

Fu Nanhua also replied casually: "That young man, ambitious, naturally smart, and has a lot of backers, he is ...... pattern."

Cai Jinjian smiled: "It's not big?"

Fu Nanhua laughed and said, "I can't say it's not big, it's just not big enough." ”

The two walked under the archway, Fu Nanhua was full of spirit, and muttered: "Heaven and earth are all working together." ”

Cai Jinjian looked up at the words "Don't ask for anything from the outside", her heart was empty, and she only felt stunned, as if the epiphany she had obtained in Mud Bottle Lane had been returned to this town in its entirety.

This made her unusually irritable.

————

Song Jixin's house belongs to the courtyard of a large household in Mud Bottle Lane, in addition to the lobby where the plaque is hung, there are also left and right side rooms.

The plaque in the lobby is "Huaiyuan Hall", and there is no signature, and Song Jixin always feels that it is not everyone's handwriting just by handwriting.

The master and servant were staying in Song Jixin's main house at the moment, the young man was rummaging through the cabinets, and the maid was standing at the door, she asked softly: "Son, the business has not been discussed?"

Song Jixin put down a string of bells, sat back on the only chair in the room, hugged the back of his head with both hands, and crossed Erlang's legs, "That Fu Nanhua from Old Dragon City is not all stupid, he didn't treat me as an unjust boss who doesn't understand the world from the beginning, but he is not very smart, and it is really fun to want to have a friendship with me." Later, he was deceived by me casually, and he showed his fox tail, thinking that he was tricky, and with some thunderous means, he could use both grace and power to bluff the young master and me, compared to the unpredictable Mr. Qi, it was 108,000 miles worse. ”

The servant girl Zhigui said: "One hundred and eight thousand miles, Childe, your statement is too exaggerated. ”

Song Jixin grimaced and said, "Then there are ten mud bottle alleys missing!"

The boy threw a bag to his maidservant, "Look, this is the copper coin mentioned in the secret letter." The person surnamed Chen next door also got a bag, and I estimated at the time that it might not be a good thing for him to have this great fortune on his head. Sure enough, didn't this annoy the two pairs of dog men and women? I think that next, the surname Chen still has to suffer. By the way, Zhigui, let me tell you, the guy who came to our house, claimed to be the young city lord of the old dragon city, listen to his tone, and then look at the pie, at least it is not an embroidered pillow, and this jade pendant, what is it 'Old Dragon Buyu', it must be valuable!"

Song Jixin patted the green and lovely jade pendant, which had been hung on his waist by him, and the young man felt that he was one step closer to a scholar like Mr. Qi.

Zhigui opened the exquisite embroidered bag and asked softly, "Childe, can you earn more 'copper coins' and come back?"

Song Jixin smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

Zhigui twisted a golden copper coin with his fingers, shook it, and smiled happily: "The gold is shaking, look at how festive it is." ”

Song Jixin smiled dumbly, "That's okay, okay, since you like it, I'll get a few more bags and come back." These money are outside, respectively, they are placed on the beam, the spring money on the peach charm, and the offering money in the stomach or hand of the Buddha statue, but the common people have the attention of the common people, and the fairy family has the saying of the fairy family. ”

She smiled and narrowed her eyes, like two crescent moons, and asked, "Chen Ping'an's bag?"

Song Jixin frowned, "He?"

The maidservant noticed her son-in-law's strange mood, carefully put away the copper coin, tied the bag tightly, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Song Jixin pursed his lips, covered his neck with both hands, twisted it, and said lightly: "It's okay, I think of some things." The surname Chen is not in a hurry, so as not to get into trouble. It's Zhao Xuan's nerd, most of them will also get copper coins, so he is easy to deceive, son, I'll keep it and get you a bag back. ”

Seeing that the maid was a little strange, Song Jixin did not continue to explain, seeing that his son-in-law was not interested in talking, the girl did not break the casserole and asked in the end.

Zhigui walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, where he saw the four-legged snake that was born an eyesore, lying on the ground half-dead, basking in the sun, often rolling, and enjoying it very much.

A fiery girl walked quickly, stepping on the head of the four-legged snake with one foot, and twisting her toes fiercely.

The poor little creature screamed in grief.

She lifted her foot, and the four-legged snake swooped away, running all over the yard, hitting the wall repeatedly.

This yellow, four-legged snake of his own.

A gluttonous golden carp that strayed into a basket.

The black loach that was raised in the water tank by Gu Cang.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, three out of five.

Looking at the four-legged snake with horns on its head, the girl grinned, her face full of disdain, "Stupid thing!"

————

In the courtyard of the child Gu Cang's house, the old man and the woman were still sitting opposite each other, and the former stretched out his palm, watching the spread of the lines in his palm, and his mood was not relaxed.

The old man put away his hand, raised his head and asked, "Gu, are there many women like you who marry a man from a foreign country in the town?"

The woman shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be much, anyway, I'm the only one on this side of Xinghua Lane in Mud Bottle Lane." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, but still leaked some heavenly opportunities to her, "The girl's six and twelve years old, and the boy's nine and eighteen years old, are two big thresholds, the former needs to cross by himself, and the latter can still be pushed by external force, and then there is one more thing, you can have more certainty, the more rich the family, the more advantageous." Open the door, ascend to the hall, enter the room, three things, the first two steps, you can really only look at the number of chances, especially the first step, success or not, just look at whether God rewards or not. ”

The woman's eyes were full of smiles, "Being able to be favored by the immortal chief at a glance, my Gu Cang is the one who can take the first step on his own, right?"

The old man smiled and said, "As long as it is a child who grows up in the town, it means that the root bone qualification is not outstanding, although your Gu Cang is not nine years old, it is no exception." ”

The woman's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

The old man raised his foot, stomped on the ground, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the quality of the bones is of course important, but it is not the first place, God can see it pleasing to the eye, even a dog and a weed on the side of the road can slowly build a road, and finally ascend to the sky." This time, the town made an exception to allow so many outsiders to enter, and it was also a last resort. No matter how good the water and soil are, after thousands of years of reclamation, cultivation and harvesting, plus many times during the period of drying up and fishing at any cost, it will also decline and decay, and there will always be a day when it will be completely barren. The feng shui heritage here, finally ushered in the last big year, whenever a person is about to die, back to the light, the spirit at that time, will become particularly majestic, your family Gu Cang, is benefiting from this, the opportunity is great, far beyond imagination, so far more than those talented small town children before. ”

The woman's lips trembled, trying her best to suppress her surprise, and her eyes were watery and a little seductive.

The old man glanced at her and said with a smile: "Of course, don't be greedy, the person who has this great opportunity is definitely not only your son, to put it mildly, there is a huge Dongbao Aquarius Continent, and the person who is qualified to monopolize this luck, even if there is, it must not have been born yet." ”

The woman put her hands in her heart and murmured, "Enough, enough." ”

The old man thought of the junior woman in Yunxia Mountain, and sneered: "Busy and busy, I only know how to ask for some external things, I really picked sesame seeds and lost watermelon, which is stupid." ”

Then the old man smiled, "That's right, those old things in Yunxia Mountain have never had a big vision, otherwise they wouldn't have let the old man get this opportunity." has an almost inexhaustible treasure mountain, which should be rich and prosperous, but it has fallen to the point where it needs to rely on a disciple to support the scene. ”

Inside the house, the child who had been punching and kicking the door for a long time stood on a stool, lying on the window, begging with a bitter face: "Mother, let me out, I promise your obedience!"

The woman glanced at the old immortal, who nodded.

She then went to open the door, took the child's hand and walked into the yard together, and said softly with a straight face: "Xiao Cang, don't make trouble, do you know?!" My mother has never beaten you, if you dare to be disobedient, my mother will really beat you again." ”

The child sighed, drooping his head, sickly.

Gu Cang moved a small bench, sat down by himself, and showed a three-legged trend with his mother and the elderly. The child put his hands on his cheeks, "Mother, what did you just say to Mr. Storyteller, I can't hear it clearly in the house, can you talk about it again?"

The old man sighed, after a little thought, his wrist shook, the big white bowl reappeared in the palm of his hand, he looked down and stared, his eyes were obscure, only to see the water surface of the white bowl, ripples, occasional splashes, a black line in the white bowl around the fast swimming, from time to time hit the bowl wall, the old man said to himself: "That's it, just let it go." ”

In order to accept this apprentice, in the previous mud bottle alley, the old man tried his best to break decades of cultivation for the Tao, and only then did he succeed in moving his hands and feet three times.

One was for the woman to step on shit.

The last time was to convince him of his enlightenment with secret techniques. If it is outside the town, of course, there is no such possibility, it is a veritable Taoist true monarch, I am afraid that he will not dare to do this, but above the town, Cai Jinjian is no different from a mortal, and the old man does not hesitate to pay a huge price, so he has an opportunity to take advantage of.

The second of them is the most ingenious, and even the old man himself thinks it is a stroke of genius, which is a kind reminder that the woman mistook for a straw sandals boy, but it is actually a cunning revenge. The old man let the boy speak, slowed down a bit, and happened to let the woman catch the detail.

It can be said that it is not deliberate.

On the road of cultivation, people in the same way, good and bad fate, between the first line.

At this time, the woman in the courtyard, Gu Shi's heart, was hanging, for fear that the old immortal chief would say some bad news.

The old man tugged at the corners of his mouth, and out of the corner of his eye, a child crept to his feet, and then ran to the courtyard gate.

The woman screamed.

The old man held the white bowl in his hand, and stood up unhurriedly, "Apprentice, for the teacher, I will first show you what the greatness of heaven and earth is, so that you don't know the importance of it, and it will ruin the great cause of you and my master and apprentice!"

The woman's eyes were dark, and she fainted to the ground.

The old man waved his sleeves suddenly.

The next moment, the child who was about to touch the bolt of the courtyard door stumbled and fell to the ground, but when he realized that something was wrong, he looked around blankly, and finally raised his head and looked at the storyteller standing beside him, "Where is this?"

The old man put his hands behind his shoulders and said indifferently: "In the bowl." ”

The child became more and more dazed, and suddenly heard the old man shouting, "Get up!"

The child instinctively stood up and remained motionless.

Gu Cang found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, and in the distance in front of him, the sea of clouds was surging.

Then, the child's eyes widened in horror, and he saw that in the white vastness, a huge torso broke through the clouds and moved slowly.

But it's too big to reveal its true face.

The child was so frightened that he was about to take a step back, but the old man quickly pressed his head with the palm of his hand and said sharply: "If you retreat at this time, you will not be able to move an inch on the road of cultivation in the future!

Gu Cang was so frightened that tears flowed out of his eyes at once, this stubborn child who had never been lawless didn't even dare to cry.

The child could not restrain his body at all, his legs trembled, and his lips trembled.

The sea of clouds in the distance boiled.

The foggy white clouds seem to be fading away.

Then more black appeared in the sky, extremely long and enormous, like ...... The little loach raised in his own water tank, after he skyrocketed and grew up?

In the child's mind, such an idea popped up for no reason.

At that moment, Gu Cang's soul was unrelenting, and he involuntarily took a step forward, stretched out his slender arm, and faced the sky.

A huge head like a mountain peak slowly swam from the sea of clouds.

The child's eyes were shining, and he was not afraid at all, and even beckoned and shouted: "Come on, come on!" It turns out that you have grown so big, no wonder I always feel that the fish, shrimp and crabs in the tank will always be lost a lot the next day. ”

Standing behind Gu Cang, Shujian Lake Jiejiang Zhenjun had mixed feelings, both a strong sense of loss and jealousy, and a spontaneous sense of relief.

Although I definitely don't have such a great fortune, but having this apprentice is also a blessing, and it is definitely not in vain!

The old man saw the approach of the head with his own eyes, and muttered, "The wonder of the world." ”

————

Chen Ping'an suddenly told the girl in black that he wanted to go into the house, and finally squatted in the corner, turned his back to her, and hid something in the palm of his hand.

When he went out, he said that he was going to buy her a clay pot for decoction, which was lacking at home.

After the straw sandals boy walked away quickly, the girl glanced at an old jar standing in the shadows in the corner.

And in fact, the girl's hearing is very good.

The object in the palm of his hand was a piece of broken porcelain, extremely sharp.
