Chapter 22: Night Training
At the beginning of the day, it is also known as fixed dusk.
It's about nine o'clock in the evening.
At this time, in the dead of night, the lights of thousands of homes have long been extinguished, and everything has entered a dormant early.
"I made a lot of money today."
"Haha, I've saved a lot over the years, and when the five-year period expires, I can go down the mountain and return to my hometown to be a rich man, Senior Brother Li, what do you want to do most after you go down the mountain after the five-year period expires?"
"Senior Brother Zhang, I should marry a mother-in-law and spread the branches."
The group of four returned to the mountain gate.
Although Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si were more or less injured, they were very excited after making money.
No, as soon as the armor horse charm was put away, the three of them chatted non-stop.
Chen Yun didn't say anything, but he was also a little happy in his heart.
Counting the small gold beads he picked up, he currently has eight taels of gold.
It should be enough to buy a lot of medicinal herbs.
Chen Yun thinks differently from others, and there is only one purpose to make money, and that is to help himself ask for immortality.
The Zhuji Soup, Huajing Soup, and even Huaqi Soup in front of "Da Luo Ling Soup" need to use a lot of flavored medicinal materials.
The main drug is generally not available.
Most of the remaining auxiliary herbs can be bought with money.
Some of these medicinal materials are very precious, and they need more than a penny of silver.
For example, Chen Yun waited until the foundation was built to refine the grain, and Ganoderma lucidum needed to be used in the essence soup.
In Chen Yun's previous life, Ganoderma lucidum could be cultivated artificially, and the price was relatively low.
However, in this society similar to ancient China, the price of one catty of C-grade Ganoderma lucidum is as high as 200 to 500 taels of silver.
If it is the finest first-class Ganoderma lucidum, it is at least 1,000 taels of silver, and it is not uncommon for it to be more than 1,000 taels per catty.
Naturally, Chen Yun wanted to save some money and strive to buy some good Ganoderma lucidum.
Everyone chatted and walked inside.
Li Si suddenly said, "Senior Brother Lin, Jiama Fu will return you." ”
Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "It's given to all brothers." ”
Zhang Qian couldn't help but sigh: "This armor horse talisman can travel a total of 1,800 miles, and it will burn up to the limit. ”
Oh.
It turns out that Jiama Fu can run a total of 1,800 miles.
Chen Yun thanked him and carefully put away the armor horse talisman.
As soon as he put away the Jiama talisman, he suddenly thought that he had picked up the more precious Zhong Kui talisman in the Wu family's courtyard before.
I used the Jiama Fu to hurry up and gallop before, and I couldn't say anything at all, let alone return the Jiama Fu.
At this time, Chen Yun was ready to take out the talisman and return it, "Senior Brother Lin, your ......"
The words are not finished.
Lin Chen, who had just crossed the mountain gate, suddenly changed his face, and said in a lost voice: "Something bad!" ”
Chen Yun thought that he had found that Zhong Kui's talisman was missing, and was about to say that it was on his side.
Who would have thought that Zhang Gan also said with a wry smile: "It's over, I'm going to be trained!" ”
Although Li Si didn't speak, the expression on his face was not very good-looking.
Chen Yun hadn't reacted at first, but when he followed the three of them's gaze and looked inside the missionary temple, he realized what was happening.
I saw that the main hall located in the center of the Taoist temple was brightly lit at the moment.
The main hall enshrines the three gods of Taishang Laojun, Dongwang and Zhengyang Enlightened Missionary Zhenjun, corresponding to Lao Tzu, Wang Xuanfu and Zhong Liquan respectively.
Chen Yun has been in the preaching temple for more than 20 days, and he knows all about it.
It's just that the main hall was only open early in the morning in the past, and the long-term workers were not allowed to enter, and only the four official disciples of Zhong Liquan, Wang Laozhi, Zheng Wenshu, Wang Zixi and Chen Yun, who had never met, could enter.
Now the lights are shining brightly?
Obviously, either something big is happening, or someone is waiting for them!
Chen Yun estimated that the latter was more likely.
After all, they go out to pick up private work, and it's good that no one knows about this kind of thing.
It would be strange if Wang Laozhi and Uncle Zheng Wen learned that everyone was taking work in the name of the missionary temple and not picking up the skin.
Sure enough, tonight is going to be miserable.
Perhaps because of this disturbance, he forgot to return Zhong Kui Fu again.
……
The four of them came inside with their hearts in mind.
Sure enough, Wang Zixi and a middle-aged goatee Taoist who Chen Yun had never seen were at the entrance of the main hall early.
"Senior Brother Wang."
"Senior Brother Cai."
Chen Yun stepped forward to greet Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si.
After saying hello, he knew that the goatee Taoist was Cai Rujin, Uncle Zheng Wen's apprentice.
Wang Tsaixi swept around the faces of the four of them expressionlessly, "Come in with me, Master and Uncle are waiting for you." ”
Cai Rujin stared at Lin Chen for a long time, and then sighed and shook his head and turned around and entered the main hall.
Sure that they were waiting for them, Lin Chen, Zhang Qian, and Li Si's faces became even more ugly.
Chen Yun lowered his head and said nothing, pondering what punishment he would receive.
Enter the main hall.
Chen Yun saw Wang Laozhi and Uncle Zheng Wen sitting on the chair next to the incense case, one left and one right.
There was no joy or anger on the faces of the two.
As soon as Wang Tsaixi and Cai Rujin came in, they stood on the left side behind their respective master's chairs.
"I've seen Senior Brother Zheng, Senior Brother Wang."
"I've seen Senior Brother Zheng, Senior Brother Wang."
Chen Yun greeted Lin Chen and the others in unison.
Wang Laozhi changed his previous kindness, sneered, and said, "You guys are so bold!" ”
Yes, he and Uncle Zheng Wen had long known that Chen Yun, Lin Chen and others had gone down the mountain to exorcise ghosts, so they were guarding here.
In fact, Wang Laozhi and Uncle Zheng Wen generally turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.
After all, after five years of working at the missionary temple, you have to be dismissed, and it is nothing to make some money on your own in your spare time.
It's just that Wang Laozhi has seen that Chen Yun is quite talented recently, and wants to admit him as an apprentice, so he has been very concerned.
So today, everyone went down the mountain and was in distress in the Wu family's courtyard, and they were all in full view of Wang Laozhi, who was secretly paying attention.
If it weren't for Chen Yun's cleverness, the four of them would have been wiped out today.
Naturally, it's no wonder that Wang Laozhi doesn't trouble everyone.
Poof!
Lin Chen knelt down without hesitation and responded loudly: "Senior Brother Wang, this crime is on me, it doesn't matter what Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Chen do, it's because I saw Qian and was afraid that I didn't have the strength to exorcise ghosts, so I pulled them in and punished me if I wanted to punish them." ”
Zhang Qian and Li Si were quite stunned.
Chen Yun didn't expect Lin Chen to be so righteous, everyone earned the money together, but the sin was taken care of by himself.
Although he didn't want to be punished, how could he not show anything if others were affectionate and righteous?
Chen Yun said almost without thinking: "Senior Brother Wang, I ...... this matter."
"Shut up!" Wang Laozhi interrupted Chen Yun with squinted eyes, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the left, "You guys stand aside first, and I'll talk to you slowly later!" ”
Chen Yun had no choice but to stand on the left.
Zhang Qian and Li Sigu are like this.
Wang Laozhi looked at Lin Chen, "Let me ask you, what's wrong?" If you can answer, I can punish you today, but if you can't answer, where are you going back and forth, I preach and visit the temple small, and I can't tolerate your big Buddha! ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to drive him down the mountain, Lin Chen's forehead was covered with fine sweat.
He thought for a moment and said, "I shouldn't be sluggy in my studies and take personal work in the name of preaching and preaching, if I don't succeed, I will lose the face of my ancestor." ”
Chen Yunyi frowned, he answered wrong!
Sure enough, Wang Laozhi shook his head with hatred, "What's the importance of face?" You don't know that human life is bigger than heaven? Forget it, Zaixi, take fifty taels of silver, and let him go down the mountain overnight. ”
Lin Chen wanted to say something more, "Senior Brother Wang, I ......"
"Let's get out." Wang Lao Zhi waved his hand happily, obviously not ready to let Lin Chen say any more.
Lin Chen's eyes were red, but he knew that Wang Laozhi had made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything more.
He had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow vigorously to Wang Laozhi and Uncle Zheng Wen, "Lin Chen has been here to preach for more than four years, thank you Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zheng for taking care of you in every way, I will go down the mountain tonight, and I hope that the two senior brothers will take care of their health." ”
After speaking, Lin Chen stood up and walked outside.
Wang Tsai used to go and get the silver.
At this time, Cai Rujin suddenly spoke: "Master, I want to send Senior Brother Lin down the mountain." ”
Uncle Zheng Wen, who had never spoken, nodded, "Well, you are good friends with him, I don't know when we will be able to meet this time, go and send him down the mountain." ”
After that, Cai Rujin walked out.
Seeing this, Chen Yun's heart sank, knowing that Wang Laozhi was angry this time.
"And you." Wang Laozhi looked at the three of them, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." ”
Chen Yun knew that he couldn't touch Wang Laozhi's tiger whiskers at this time, so he was the first to stand up and arch his hand: "Yun, I am willing to be punished." ”
"Senior Brother Wang, I was wrong."
"I won't dare next time."
Zhang Qian and Li Si hung their heads.
Wang Laozhi said: "Zhang Qian, Li Si, I will punish you for three months, if you commit it again next time, you will go down the mountain like Lin Chen." ”
The punishment is not very severe.
Zhang Qian hurriedly said: "Dry to receive the punishment." ”
Li Si also hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wang, for your magnanimity. ”
Chen Yun didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive, so he stood there and waited quietly.
Wang Laozhi stared at Chen Yun for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Chen Yun, although you are also a first-time offender, you have the merit of saving people, which can be regarded as offsetting the merits and demerits, but you will not be punished, I am afraid that you will commit it again, in this way, you will be confined for half a month, what is your opinion on this?" ”
Belch?
So lightly revealed?
Chen Yun was really afraid that Wang Laozhi would drive him down the mountain just now.
Hearing the painless punishment at this time, where is the opinion?
He hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Wang, Yun knows his mistake and has no opinion. ”
"Okay, after a busy night's work, let's go back and rest."
After Wang Laozhi finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
Wang Tsaixi followed.
At this time, Uncle Zheng Wen also stood up and came to Chen Yun.
Chen Yungang wanted to give way.
I didn't expect Uncle Zheng Wen to wink at him, and said with a meaningful smile: "The meditation talisman is still easy to use, right?" ”
Yes?
What does this mean?
Uncle Zheng Wen, as the senior brother of Wang Laozhi, is also unfathomable.
It wasn't surprising to know that you had used a meditation talisman in the other courtyard.
Chen Yun felt strange that Uncle Zheng Wen's words seemed to be saying that he would have expected that there would be a meditation talisman given only in today's scene.
Although he couldn't figure it out, he still thanked him and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zheng, if I don't have a meditation talisman, I'll be in danger." ”
"Hahaha."
Uncle Zheng Wen laughed and left.
When the people were gone, Chen Yun looked sideways, "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Li, let's go send Senior Brother Lin down the mountain." ”
He also thought about returning Zhong Kui's talisman.
"Okay."
"Send him."
Zhang Qian and Li Si naturally had no opinions, everyone made money, but in the end, Lin Chen was heavily punished, so he had to send it away.
The three of them walked towards the outside of the main hall.
As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the main hall, Chen Yun saw an auspicious cloud carrying Cai Rujin and Lin Chen away.
Chen Yun: "......"
Yes, it seems that Zhong Kuifu can't pay it back.
Although Zhong Kui's talisman was very precious, Chen Yun really didn't want to swallow it privately.
It's just that now that Lin Chen is gone, the sky and the earth are big, and it's hard to say whether Chen Yun can meet again in this life, and it seems that Zhong Kuifu can only stay.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little sad about Lin Chen's departure.
Chen Yun was quite emotional and embarrassed.
Today I lost a meditation talisman.
I didn't think about it, but in the end, I harvested the Jia Ma Fu and Zhong Kui Fu.
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, after all, Lin Chen was driven away.
