If Chang Jin was allowed to choose, he still felt that the Immortal Dao was more suitable for him. Those gods sitting on a high platform, how can they be so chic and comfortable as immortals.
Xiao Qian was about to continue explaining, when she suddenly stopped, and her face showed a little pale.
"What's wrong?" Chang Jin asked strangely.
"I feel the breath of the river god, he is doing the divine method!!" Xiao Qian is now a god and has a keen sense of the divine breath many times.
"River God, where is it?!" Chang Jin hurriedly raised his sword and stood up, and his divine sense was released. Could it be that he killed Goddess Guo a few days ago and made it appear, so he came to the door.
The consciousness moved, and I only felt that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside the house, and there was nothing else left.
"Childe doesn't have to be so vigilant, it's not here, it's still staying in Shuifu......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sudden night wind outside the house, as if something was teleporting in the night wind and drilling straight into his mind.
It was only two feet away from his body that he was scattered by the red qi luck.
"What the hell is going on?" Chang Jin asked again.
"If my expectations are correct, the river god should use the talisman to give dreams to the people under his rule. I don't know what it is. Xiao Qian explained.
"Tuomeng, why didn't I receive it?"
"Childe is a scholar, and he has a heroic aura in his body, and even the gods can't get close, so you can't hear it. Xiao Qian thought about it and replied.
That night, almost all the people on both sides of the Baishui River had a dream, in which an ugly man in chain mail stood on the top of the waves and shouted: "All the people and villagers of Qingshan Town listen, I am the god of the Baishui River, and a few days ago, the temple was destroyed for no reason, and it is all your sin." Now you must rebuild the temple of the river and offer three sacrifices of incense. Otherwise, I will flood and turn the entire town of Castle Peak into an ocean......"
This voice sounded directly in the depths of the human soul, grand and illusory, as if it came directly from a dream, and then disappeared without a trace.
At dinner the next day, Xiao Xiao asked with a little hesitation, "Brother, did you dream last night?"
"Dream, what dream?" Thinking of the conversation with Xiaoqian last night, Chang Jin already understood a little.
"I dreamed of the river god last night, and it said that the river temple was destroyed, and everyone should pay money to repair the temple and then sacrifice, otherwise the ......fields will be flooded," Xiao Xiao replied with a worried face.
During the day, the entire Qingshan Town was talking about the river god's dream. Almost everyone is sensational, and of course most of them are distressed. Re-river temple, plus sacrifices, each family has to exchange dozens of silver coins.
This year is already the second time, and if it continues like this, it will cost one or two hundred wen a year to worship the river god.
However, these thoughts were only pressed in the bottom of their hearts, but no one dared to express their resentment, for fear that the river god would blame him when he heard it.
Soon the village chief of Changjia Village began to collect money from door to door, and the rules were the same as before, with each family paying 50 yuan.
Chang Jin originally wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Xiaoxiao.
"Brother, we ...... out of this money"
Seeing that his sister agreed, Chang Jin couldn't say anything more. It's just a few dozen pennies, and now he doesn't care at all. Chang Jin had already had the intention of killing the river god, and after listening to Xiaoqian's talk about the Shinto, he knew that it was not yet time. Killing a god with strong incense power requires a great price, not to mention the loss of one's own luck, and it will also be counterattacked by Shinto.
If you want to kill them first, you must first make them mad. This river god is insatiable, and repeatedly asks for sacrificial incense, and one day the people on both sides of the river will not be able to bear it.
Now I just have resentment, and it is estimated that in a few days, I will be resentful.
If the gods are not protected by humane incense, they are immoral. When the time comes, you will kill yourself, and even Shinto will not send down the curse.
So what Chang Jin has to do is to wait for the opportunity and quietly watch his defeat.
After the silver money was collected, the river temple was soon rebuilt under the auspices of Guo Chengye, the newly appointed official of Qingshan Town.
When the construction of the River Temple began, Chang Jin left Changjiazhuang with his sword again and went to Yangming Academy alone, taking a few books copied in these days with him. Although he has money in his hand, Chang Jin also understands the truth that the mountain is empty, and before there is no other livelihood, this book copying business cannot be lost.
After the last quarterly exam, Mr. Ji asked him to live in the college to study Bagu, and any questions he had could be answered in time. After being rejected by Chang Jin, Mr. Ji was still unwilling and asked him to submit two articles and eight shares every ten days and half a month in order to check his learning progress.
Chang Jin agreed to this, since he was interested in the imperial examination, he naturally had to work Baguwen.
This time I went to the academy, and I happened to do both things.
There was no delay all the way, and after arriving at the academy, Chang Jin first handed over the copied books to the master steward, and then visited Mr. Ji and presented the eight strands of literature that he had been figuring out recently. After Mr. Ji read it, he was very impressed: "Talented," and then explained to him in detail the two comparisons and questions in the eight-strand text, and then asked Chang Jin to compose on the spot.
Chang Jin comprehended quickly, and Mr. Ji also had the spirit to teach, and unconsciously passed in the morning.
Bidding farewell to Mr. Ji, Chang Jin hurried home, and he didn't plan to stay in the academy for a long time.
Who knew that as soon as he went out, he was stopped by Pu Yuci and Wang Qinian. said that he hadn't seen him for many days, so he went to the restaurant to get together.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Chang Jin had to stay.
In the past, he was shy in his pocket, and he mostly did not attend such gatherings. Money is human guts, and now with a few hundred taels of silver tickets on his body, Chang Jin naturally will not shirk, and he is very generous to say that he is the east.
"Brother Qingyuan, what have you been doing lately?" After three rounds of drinking, Chang Jin opened his mouth and asked the question that was pressing on his heart.
When he saw Wang Qinian just now, Chang Jin saw that the white qi on the other party's head was shaky, and he was mostly shrouded in gray gas. Obviously, there is a big problem with his body, and if you look at his face, his eyes are dark blue, and his face is sallow, you can also know a thing or two from it. But to Chang Jin's surprise, Wang Qinian was in good spirits and didn't look like he was suffering from illness.
"Yun Sheng...... Brother Yu has been studying at home lately, and he has nothing to do, and if he goes to the academy to hand in his crafting art today, I will not go out at all. Wang Qinian's words flickered a little, and he raised his hand and drank a glass of thin wine.
"Oh, I'll just ask casually, it's fine. Seeing that his words were secretive, it was obvious that there should be something. However, the other party didn't want to mention it, and Chang Jin could only put it aside for the time being.
"Did you hear that? Mr. Ya Ya was dismissed from his post by the imperial court. At this time, Pu Yuci took over the conversation.
"What?" Hearing this, Chang Jin and Wang Qinian asked in unison, "What is the reason?"
Wang Jiuyuan, the word is obedient, and the official is still in the military department. He was recognized as a great Confucian in the current dynasty, and if he was dismissed by the imperial court, it would definitely not be a good thing for Confucianism.
"I heard that it was because the emperor was going to build a thousand-acre garden on the outskirts of Beijing to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother. As a result, he was stopped by Mr. Cliff, and the emperor was angry and dismissed Mr. Cliff from his official position. ”
"Faint Jun, I'm angry!" Wang Qinian heard this, and immediately stretched out his big hand and slapped the table. Then he frowned and clasped his hands, obviously in extreme pain.
"Hey......" Chang Jin could only sigh.
Chang Jin also heard some anecdotes about the great Confucian king Jiuyuan, and it is said that when he was born, his father dreamed that there were colorful clouds accompanying him, so he named him Wang Yun, but he could not speak until he was five years old.
Later, a physiognomist told his father, saying that his name had leaked the secret of heaven, so he changed his name to Jiuyuan. His father did so, and Wang Jiuyuan spoke.
Wang Jiuyuan was called a prodigy when he was a child, and it is said that a guest once came to his house to give him a roe deer and a deer and locked them together.
Seeing that Wang Jiuyuan was very curious, the guest asked, "Which is the roe deer and which is the deer?"
He had never seen these two rare animals, and after looking at them for a long time, he replied, "The one next to the roe deer is a deer, and the one next to the deer is a roe deer." The guest was very surprised when he heard this, and bluntly said that he would definitely not be easy in the future.
Later, when he was twenty years old, he was the top student in high school, and he was promoted all the way, and he was an official to the military department, and he once led the troops to suppress the rebellion of the vassal king.
Wang Jiuyuan also has an anecdote that he went out to study before the middle school and stayed in a lonely store at night. As a result, the shopkeeper and his two sons saw that he had a lot of silver in his package, and they immediately became ill-intentioned and secretly discussed their plans to do it in the evening. Wang Jiuyuan heard that he was silent, and slept with his sword at night, and when the other party moved, he raised his sword and assassinated, killing the shopkeeper's family, and then set fire to the shop and left in style.
Every time he heard these things, Chang Jin would sigh with emotion in his heart, hoping that he would have the opportunity to meet this great Confucian in the future.
"Qingyuan, be cautious!" Seeing that Wang Qinian loudly counted the emperor's no, Pu Yuci hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him. In the Dayan Dynasty, there were many examples of scholars being convicted for their words. In case Wang Qinian's remarks were reported to the county just now, it would cause trouble again.
"If you don't say it, you won't say it......" Wang Qinian muttered, grabbed the wine glass and poured it violently.
They were talking, when suddenly a voice sounded from outside: "In a dream for thousands of years, everything is empty for a hundred years." The mountains and rivers are even wide in the sky, and the gods and goddesses of the cave are far away. The white jade and gold are not kept, and the spring flowers and autumn moon are difficult to wrap around. A dream of a hundred years, ten thousand years of hatred and loneliness......"
Chang Jin now has a keen hearing, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look out, only to see a Taoist priest dressed in tattered Taoist robes and his hair scattered coming from a distance.
Now that the Taoist law has been revealed, Taoist priests have naturally become extremely noble, so there are more fake Taoist priests. Put on a robe, take a handful of dust, and swagger.
Looking at this person's unkempt appearance, he looks like a fake Taoist priest at all, no wonder no one pays attention to him when he walks on the street.
"Chang Jin, what about the little daughter-in-law on the street again? Let me take a look too" Wang Qinian saw him staring out the window, only when a woman walked by on the street, he hurriedly leaned out half of his body.
When he saw that there was only one Taoist priest at the corner of the street, he couldn't help but speak: "What's so good about a fake Taoist priest, bad luck"
Pu Yuqi also glanced at it twice, and snorted coldly: "If it was a few years ago, this false Taoist priest who had no degree would have been arrested and put in prison long ago, where could they be allowed to run rampant." ”
