There is still a month to repay the debt, but the evil in the house is always there, like a timed bullet, which needs to be dismantled as soon as possible.

Chen Youniao began to search, inside and out, inside and out, but found nothing.

The area of more than 200 square meters is not big, but it is not small, and the corners, walls, and roofs are ...... There's so much to hide.

Not to mention the other possibility, the other party is hiding underground, and the evil origin is buried deeply. If you want to find out, why don't you dig three feet into the ground?

That's a lot of work, and it's not realistic, so you have to give up.

After lunch, Chen Youniao took Uncle Wang back to the clan and asked about reading.

As long as there is a big clan, there must be a library in the clan, and there will also be a clan study for the children of the clan to study.

The hope of the clan lies in the descendants of excellent children, and without them, any family will have a situation of discontinuity, decline, and even extinction.

When Chen Youniao was a child, he went to study in the clan school, but time passed, and he wanted to continue his request, but the teacher in the clan school did not agree.

The main reason is that Chen Youniao is too "old", he is eighteen this year, and after two years, he is twenty and crowned.

At such an age, many people have already started a family, how can they come to study again?

To put it bluntly, in the clan system, Chen Youniao no longer has the value of cultivation.

It is impossible for the clan and the library to be open to everyone, and as a resource belonging to the clan, it is naturally tilted.

"Chen Youniao, don't think about studying anymore, do your job in the clan in a down-to-earth manner, and if you perform in the future, you will be promoted. ”

An uncle who was in charge of the affairs of the clan and the library said with a straight face.

Chen Youniao asked unwillingly: "Can't borrow books?"

"Of course not, how precious books are, how can they be borrowed casually?

Uncle flicked his sleeves: "Chen Youniao, do you think you are a good book and a good yuan?"

Chen Shanben, Chen Shanyuan, the two of them are Chen's reading seeds, they are only fourteen or fifteen years old, but they have already won the examination to show their talents, and they are preparing to take the township examination, and they have a lot of hope of winning the examination. Once you are lifted and become a lifter, your status is very different.

"But I really want to study and take the imperial examination. ”

Chen Youniao is still fighting.

But seeing that the uncle's face was angry: "I think you want to enter the clan study, eat and drink every day, and don't want to work." Such a big person, he is not sensible. Your father is like this, and so are you, sure enough, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes. ”

Chen Youniao's face swelled with blood, his hands clenched into fists, and he took a long breath: "Eighth uncle, I will go to the imperial examination." ”

Stride away.

"Phew, you take the imperial examination, what do you take? An ignorant boy who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”

The eighth uncle scoffed.

It didn't take long for the news to spread within the clan.

Due to Chen Mudao's absurd behavior, his topicality in the clan has always been very high, and it has become a topic of conversation and laughter among the clansmen after tea and dinner. It was better before, after all, Chen Youniao stayed in the Laoshan Dojo, and there was a glimmer of hope to become an official Taoist priest. As long as he becomes a Taoist priest, although he is not very powerful, he finally has a more decent identity and a future. Chen Mudao can rely on his father and son to regain some face.

But Chen Youniao finally failed the assessment and ran into a wall. Now that they want to study, the people despise it.

The clan stipulates that when entering the clan to study, all expenses are borne by the clan, and the clan eats and drinks well, as long as you study hard.

Therefore, everyone thinks that Chen Youniao has no place to live, and he likes the welfare conditions of the family, so he wants to make up for the number and cheat to eat and drink.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

"Hehe, this cousin with a bird is also a lazy and lazy prodigal. ”

In the hall, Chen Han was wearing a strong suit, and he looked more and more handsome.

Chen Wan, the younger sister next to her, said with a smile: "I said earlier, what kind of son can you teach with the appearance of Uncle Seeker? No wonder he was swept away by the Laoshan Dojo." ”

"I thought he had been in Laoshan for ten years, even though he hadn't learned the Taoism, but he had a polished temperament, knew people and treated things, and always had strengths. Hehe, now that I look at it, I don't know what I learned in the mountains. ”

"Hehe, fifth brother, I've heard that the clan left the house to their family, but the murderous house came, and no one in the clan dared to buy it if they wanted to sell it before. If this cousin has no skills and lives there, it will be miserable. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life. ”

Chen Han shook his head: "Don't talk about him...... By the way, Seventh Sister, Shanben and Shanyuan, you have to move around more, you are a girl, and you are likable. They are the reading seeds of our clan, and I heard the elders say that they have the potential to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, and when the time comes, they will really glorify their ancestors. Let's make good friends in advance, and we will have our own benefits in the future. ”

"Got it. ”

Chen Wan replied perfunctorily, she is martial by nature, she likes to dance with knives and guns, and she doesn't have much affection for scholars who are literate.

Regarding the criticism within the clan, Chen Youniao didn't know that his original intention was to study and win a future through the imperial examination. He also has self-confidence, experience in his previous life, and the blessing of his literary temperament, as long as he studies diligently, he may not be able to catch up later, and he is named on the gold list. Helplessly, the clan was not optimistic, and even refused to lend the book, so he could only think of other ways.

Chen Youniao is not discouraged, he is sophisticated, and he knows how to drink water. There are many icing on the cake, and there are few charcoal in the snow. Hold high and step low, it has always been so.

Face has always been earned by oneself. Expecting charity from others will end up in disgrace.

"Young master, do you still want to study?"

Uncle Wang asked cautiously.

It is good that I want to study, but the current situation is unrealistic, there are external debts, and the clan has lost support, where can I still afford to study?

But what can you do? Wait for idle chores, take ten taels or eight taels a month, and want to save enough five thousand taels to dream.

The old servant thought that his hair would be whiter and whiter.

Chen Youniao said indifferently: "Uncle Wang, I have my own opinions, don't worry." ”

Back in the house, Uncle Wang continued to work in the courtyard, while Chen Youniao sat in the room, cross-legged and worked hard.

When he hits a wall in reading, he can still practice Taoism. Practice diligently, and strive to succeed in transforming qi as soon as possible, with this cultivation as a foundation, you will have the confidence, and the current predicament can be easily solved.

When I close my eyes, my mind quickly settles down, my emotions are calm, and I gradually fall into a state of meditation and self-forgetfulness.

Not to mention anything else, just this posture of calming the mind and cultivating qi is enough to show that it is difficult for ordinary Taoist priests to do.

People's emotions are the most difficult to control, breed irritability, and become demons. Therefore, there is a saying in the cultivation world that "the heart is ape and the horse", and the metaphor is difficult to control.

But now, as soon as Chen Youniao sits down and counts his breaths, he can do it like water.

This should be another outstanding effect of the blessing of literary atmosphere, with poetry and calligraphy in the belly, which can hone temperament and heart.

As long as you are calm and relaxed, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Sure enough, I soon sensed the flow of breath in the meridians, from less to more, from weak to strong, and began to run every day. When it can be completed and integrated, it means that the refining is completed and the gas is formalized......

Time passed, and when he felt the limit, Chen Youniao stopped, energetic, but soon, a strong sense of hunger surged into his heart, so hungry that he could almost eat a cow. Rushing outside, I saw that it was already evening, and Uncle Wang had almost finished dinner. Fortunately, there were instructions in advance, and the portion of dinner was deliberately prepared a lot more, and there was meat.

Another binge eating.

When the night fell and the moon rose, Chen Youniao saw the worry in Uncle Wang's eyes: Tonight, will the evil come out again?
