The older beggar lowered his head and muttered, "I hope Gongzi forgive me, our brother and sister are two beggars, so we can only pass on the word, and if you leave the rest to us, I'm afraid you won't be at ease." ”

Chen Jingzhi said with a smile, "You are still young, do you still want to eat and drink dew every day with your sister, are you not willing to earn a future for your sister? I am giving you a chance today, if you seize it, then in the future, although you may not be prosperous and rich, but at least you don't have to beg every day for a living, food and clothing can be solved, and you don't have to be afraid every day." ”

A light flashed in the little beggar's eyes, full of anticipation, "Is what Childe said true?"

Chen Jingzhi said, "I am willing to give you a chance, it depends on whether you can seize it." After speaking, he handed over a wooden card and said, "Later, you will send this wooden card to an inspector surnamed Lai in Guangcheng Dao Palace, and you should not hand it over to anyone else except this inspector." ”

The little beggar was suspicious, held the wooden card in his arms, and listened to Chen Jing's way, "That inspector surnamed Lai has a gentle personality, you can ask him, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity to let him help you and how to help you." If he agrees to your request, you tell him to let him rush to the Song Mansion immediately, and he will definitely get the result he wants. These are three taels of silver, and if you take it in your hand, it will be of use in the future. ”

A few pieces of broken silver suddenly appeared in the little beggar's hand, his eyes widened, he hurriedly put it in his pocket, stretched his neck and looked around, no one seemed to pay attention to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at it again, the person in front of him was gone. He was very strange in his heart, and after struggling for a long time, he decided to do it immediately.

took his young sister to the Dao Palace, and begged the deacon of the Dao Palace several times, but an old man who was quite old couldn't look past it and passed it on to him. Inspector Lai asked him to inquire at the moment. The inspector surnamed Lai looked to be in his forties, with a kind face and a shallow smile on his face.

He grabbed the wooden sign and said, "Who gave it to you?"

"The little one doesn't know, but in the morning a person came to us and asked us to hand it over to the fairy master, saying that the fairy master will definitely let us live a good life. When the little beggar heard his question, he quickly pulled his young sister to kneel, kowtowed, and shouted.

"It doesn't have to be this way. Inspector Lai flew out of the sky, and then came back to his senses, clutched the wooden tablet, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Little Lai Hesheng, this is my sister Lai Yanniang, thank you for asking. The little beggar was very excited in his heart, kept kowtowing, and cried, "Qiu begged the fairy master to give our two brothers and sisters a place to settle down, and I took my sister to beg everywhere, suffering all the white eyes, begging the fairy master to have mercy on us." ”

"Your surname is Lai?" Inspector Lai was slightly in a trance, and then breathed a sigh of relief, called a deacon over, and arranged, "Give their brothers and sisters a light errand, my people don't want to see them have a bad time." After finishing speaking, he held the wooden plaque and felt very sad in his heart, the secret of the Xuanjin Stone was only known to him and the Jiang family, but Song Zeyi was suspicious, although the two were innocent, but the Jiang family did not dare to have any more contacts.

The deacon hurriedly responded, and took Lai and Sheng to the back hall.

At this time, Lai Hesheng suddenly knelt down and said, "Immortal Master, the mysterious man just said that if the Immortal Master admits us to the Dao Palace, it must be a person of benevolence and righteousness, let me inform the Immortal Master, and now rush to the Song Mansion immediately, and you will definitely be able to get the answer you want." ”

Inspector Lai was slightly stunned, and then left the Dao Palace without saying a word.

And after Chen Jingzhi left the Dao Palace, he walked outside the city, and when he arrived at a dense forest outside the city to cast a spell to isolate the inside and outside, he released Ye Qingzhu.

"You have recovered from your injuries around here in the past few days, and when you are completely healed, you will return to Yanchuan County, and I will give you another magic weapon, this magic weapon can send out wind blades, and you can fight if you encounter a strong enemy. ”

Ye Qingzhu took it cautiously, a little excited in his heart, "Lord, I will definitely return to Yanchuan County safely, I have been to Pingchuan County once before, and I know a lot of taboos, I will definitely be careful when I go back this time." ”

Chen Jingzhi nodded, passed on a few words of the trick, and drew a rune on the other party's body, saying, "I have this talisman on my body, which can cover your demonic energy, you go quickly." ”

When Chen Jingzhi returned to the inn, there were already many people in the inn having breakfast, although because of the smell before, there were obviously fewer local guests, but it couldn't stop all kinds of gossip in the inn.

"Speaking of the third brother of Song Fucheng, it is a sensational thing, this person has always been suave, but a few years ago he took a fancy to a Qinglouzi, the woman's famous Mei Niang is beautiful and incomparable, delicate and unspeakable, and she is one of the best prostitutes in Guangcheng Mansion. The third master of Song couldn't extricate himself when he saw her once, and personally ransomed her body and accepted her as a concubine. ”

"What a famous prostitute, that's a fox spirit, haven't you heard that after Master Song San woke up this morning, he actually held a dead fox spirit, it turned out that it was this fox that turned the clouds and rain yesterday. I think that Hu Meiniang is a fox spirit, and she fascinates Song San. ”

"What a vixen, it's just a beauty, my nephew and their master have enjoyed it, saying that it is weak and boneless, which makes people linger and can't extricate themselves. ”

"Can't extricate yourself? I guess I can't get out of bed, hahaha. ”

"It's all called Hu Meiniang, isn't it a fox spirit? I heard that after she entered the door, Song San's wife died of illness soon after, you don't think it's strange. ”

There was laughter and laughter in the inn, all of which were saying that when Song Zeyi woke up in the morning, he found that Yunyu, who was holding a dead skinned fox, had already scored twice, which instantly scared Song Zeyi half to death. This incident happened to be seen by an inspector from the Dao Palace of Guangcheng Mansion who came to visit, and recognized it as a fox that had become a spirit at a glance.

Meng Chengguang listened with relish, snorting melon seeds, "Hey, Daochang Chen, are you back? I haven't seen you all night, are you going to see someone?" Meng Chengguang threw the melon seeds and jumped over.

"Daochang Chen. Meng Zhaoxing immediately got up and bowed.

Yang Tingqing said with a smile, "Senior brother, come and have breakfast." ”

"Hurry up, sit down. Meng Chengguang was about to press Chen Jingzhi on his seat at the moment, and said with interest and mystery on his face, "Do you know humans and beasts? ”

Chen Jingzhi snorted, slapped Meng Chengguang's hand away, and then said, "Senior brother, after breakfast, go to the dock to take a boat to Miyang County, time is running out, you have to hurry." After that, he went upstairs.

"I don't want to hear such an interesting thing. Meng Chengguang scolded dissatisfiedly, and continued to listen to others talk about fox spirits with interest.

Chen Jingzhi and others went to the dock, the passenger ship they took this time belonged to the official ship, and the second floor must at least have the status of Xiucai to be eligible to ride, Chen Jingzhi and Meng Chengguang can only be together as scholars of Meng Zhaoxing and Yang Tingqing. The miscellaneous servants of the official ship were reluctant at first when they saw Meng Zhaoxing's sick demeanor, but Yang Tingqing moved out of the Song Dynasty law, and the miscellaneous servants had to let him go.

The guest rooms are divided into three floors, and the top floor can only be inhabited by dignitaries, and even if it is empty, no one else will be allowed to go up. The middle floor is rich and famous, and the lowest floor is where you can live without fame. Yang Tingqing and Meng Zhaoxing are Xiucai and can live in one room for two people, and Chen Jingzhi and Yang Tingqing can live in one room for two people. The room is not big, just enough to put two small beds.

Yang Tingqing sighed lightly, no wonder no one is willing to trek through mountains and rivers by land, although the waterway is a lot more expensive, the conditions are good, the living is comfortable, and it is also in line with the image of most students. It's just that the price is too expensive for Yang Tingqing, and he was given silver taels in the first county and academy in the first county, but he only kept a small part, and returned the rest to Chen Jingzhi and his old mother.

Chen Jingzhi looked at him and said, "Senior brother, you are now the third disciple of my sect, according to common sense, you should also be worshipped, the money along the way is the obligation of the sect, you don't have to worry about it, if you have the achievement of the vast Shenxiao sect in the future, it is also your responsibility." And money is something outside of your body, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Yang Tingqing was ashamed in his heart, he thought that he had never been frank and open, but after being told by Chen Jingzhi, he felt even more embarrassed, and couldn't help asking, "Meng Chengguang commented that I was too upright and not confident enough, does senior brother think the same." ”

Chen Jingzhi shook his head and smiled, "You are just too restrained, so you seem to be far away from others, in fact, there is no doubt about it." Before, you begged me to save their brothers, and you also made it clear that you have no cultivation, you can only rely on me, and outsiders seem to be generous to others, and they are not thoughtful enough. In my opinion, you trust me enough that you don't have to worry about other people's evaluations, and we cultivators pay attention to our own hearts. ”

Yang Tingqing was relieved to be affirmed, and after thinking about it seriously, he did not think about it in many places.

After a while, he couldn't help but nodded, and then asked a question, "Senior brother, I think that Meng Zhaoxing is excellent in both character and character, and I am ashamed of myself." Meng Zhaoxing sincerely wants to worship his senior brother as a teacher, why does the senior brother refuse to respond? The Shenxiao faction has few people, and it should recruit a wide range of talents. I thought that what my brother said before about age incompatibility was just a pretext. ”

Chen Jingzhi shook his head, "Meng Zhaoxing is highly qualified, but the cause and effect on him is too heavy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to suppress it, and if it is not handled properly, it may affect the sect." Chen Jingzhi paused for a moment and groaned slightly, "However, Meng Zhaoxing has been robbed several times, and I am among them, which shows that he has a deep relationship with me." In the future, if the time is right, and his original intention has not changed, he is still willing to enter my sect to practice, and it is not impossible to accept him to get started. ”

Yang Tingqing nodded deeply and said, "I see, he is shrewd and can understand the world, junior brother, I am ashamed of myself." ”
