Volume II, Chapter 9: The Trial

The girl's eyes lit up, and she raised her sleeves from time to time to wipe the moistness of the corners of her mouth, and after a while, the two cuffs were already soaked.

Chen Sheng smiled, handed the silver taels to the guys in the store, and said with a smile: "One of each kind." ”

It didn't take long for the sun to set.

At dusk, a young man carried a few fragrant roast chickens in his hands, followed by a little girl who was feasting.

After a while, Chen Sheng would stop and wait for the little girl to follow.

"Your talent is good, why don't you worship a sect?" Chen Sheng wondered, the young Chen Wu has a good backbone, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have the cultivation of the fifth stage of Qi cultivation without learning the exercises.

The young man wanted to speak and stopped, and finally grinned, "Immortal Chang Mo asked." ”

When the plain-clothed boy appeared in Chen Sheng's vision, he understood.

Nodding with satisfaction, Chen Sheng's hand flowed out of the Dao fluorescent, which quietly flowed out through the afterglow of the setting sun, and finally fell on the little girl who was not very good.

The two roast chickens were in the belly, and the girl seemed to be full of strength, and quickly caught up, snatched the roast chicken in Chen Wu's hand, took out the two and handed them to her brother and the eccentric old Taoist priest.

"Eat, I'll carry it for you. ”

Under the sunset, the girl smiled like a flower.

Chen Sheng smiled, tore off a chicken leg casually, and chatted with the little girl.

"How old are you?"

"Eight years old. ”

"Is there an enrollment?"

"Hmph!" seemed to be poked in the sore spot, and the little girl puffed out her cheeks.

Chen Sheng thought for a while, and then said, "Then let me change the question, do you want to read and write?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man who was originally immersed in gnawing suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Sheng with hope, the little girl who was much shorter than the rickety Taoist was also holding her head high.

"Seems to be so. Chen Sheng nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Then it depends on whether you can serve Dao Master and me well in the next few days." ”

The brother and sister looked at each other, one big and one small with sad faces, the big one was worried that he would not be able to get something that satisfied the old fairy, and the younger one was afraid that the copper money that the family had saved up with great difficulty would have to be reduced a lot.

The girl still remembers that the last time she went out with money seemed to be on a delirious night half a year ago.

The sun was slowly sinking, and the figures of the three were infinitely elongated on the ground.

All the way to the outskirts of the city, the young Chen Wu kicked open the low bamboo door that did not match the high wall, causing his sister to be dissatisfied.

"Immortal Chief, isn't it a nice place here?" the boy ignored the girl's complaints, showing off his courtyard with a slight smugness.

Chen Sheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's really good, but there should be a few rich bamboos in this corner." ”

The girl poked her head out of the crack in the door, tilted her head and asked curiously, "How do you know that there is a rich bamboo there?"

Chen Sheng shook the flag in his hand and pointed to the first four big characters.

"Domineering!" the young man, who still knew a few words, gave a thumbs up and was amazed.

The little girl frowned, a little distressed.

Seeing her like this, Chen Sheng knew what he was thinking, smiled and didn't say anything more.

Finding a bamboo stool from the corner, Chen Sheng sat down and closed his eyes.

It took a long time for the two little ones to move.

The young man lowered his voice and said, "Sister, whether we can cultivate into immortals, just point to this immortal." ”

The girl blinked wide, a little disbelieving, "Just him?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and quietly pointed at someone who seemed to be asleep.

The young man hurriedly stopped, grabbed his sister's hand, and said firmly: "In the past, those immortals looked down on us, but I can feel that he is different. ”

"What's different? Are you wearing some torn?"

The girl's words made Chen Sheng very hurt.

But fortunately, this girl has a pure heart and is only telling the truth.

Thinking like this, Chen Sheng's heart was even more uncomfortable, so he slowly got up and said with a light smile: "Little girl, I am a top-grade treasure clothes, I don't believe you touch it." ”

The little girl glanced at it, shook her head desperately, and resisted very much.

Chen Sheng lowered his head in astonishment, and found that there was an oil stain on his chest at some point, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and scolded: "Isn't this what you stained?"

The little girl shook her head desperately, resolutely refusing to admit it.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Chen Sheng asked angrily, "Which room is mine?"

The young man pointed tremblingly, and stopped talking.

"Poor Dao rested first, and this robe bothered the girl to help me wash it. A slightly helpless voice came, followed by a broad robe and a few ingots of silver wrapped in it.

Hearing the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the young man grinned and shouted into the house: "Immortal Chief, don't worry, keep it for you to wash like new." ”

The girl snorted coldly, glanced hatefully in the direction where Chen Sheng was, and then walked into the house.

Leaving the young man alone to stand in the courtyard and play silly, this night, the young man struggled with the robe all night.

The next morning, the girl woke up early and found that the boy was tired.

"Stinky Daoist, hurry up!"

The little girl looked at her brother's swollen hands, and was particularly distressed, the more distressed she was, the stronger she knocked on the door.

Chen Sheng had already gotten up and sat in the house, just waiting for this moment.

"The girl told me something important?"

Chen Sheng's politeness made the little girl stunned, but fortunately, after a while, she regained her pungent virtue, pointing at Chen Sheng's nose and scolding: "You old cow nose, don't think that you can bully people like this by inviting us to eat a few roast chickens......"

Before the girl finished speaking, the young man who had raised a little strength covered her mouth and said to Chen Sheng: "Immortal Chief, forgive me, my sister is angry to get up, I must have disturbed her." ”

The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth turned up slightly, "Have you washed your clothes?"

The young man's arm moved quietly, a little ashamed, "It's not ...... yet"

Chen Sheng grinned, the young man became more and more ashamed, but it was a little girl, with her head lowered, thoughtful.

As soon as he snatched the robe, Chen Sheng shook with one hand, and the large oil stain was taken off and dripped on the ground.

The young man's face was full of astonishment, and he rubbed his eyes to see if he was wrong.

Chen Sheng smiled lightly and slapped him and asked, "Does it hurt?"

The boy nodded.

"The pain is right!" Draped the Taoist robe on his body, Chen Sheng scolded with a smile: "If you don't cook yet, do you really want to be an immortal who doesn't eat fireworks in the world?"

The boy suddenly strode away, leaving the girl standing in place with starry eyes.

So, Chen Sheng's ass followed a slug.

"How did you do that?" the little girl is most concerned about this problem, every time my brother comes back, there will be many oil stains on his body, which is difficult to wash off, even if he picks the soap horn of the soaphorn tree in the east of the city, he has to rub it for a long time to make the mark lighter.

Unlike Chen Sheng's hand, the oil stains are really completely removed, so the little girl wants to learn very much, so that the young man will not have to wash so hard in the future.

Chen Shengyi grinned and said with a smile: "Want to know?"

The little one nodded like pounded garlic.

"I won't tell you!" Chen Sheng closed his eyes and said casually.

The little girl's cheeks bulged out, a little dissatisfied.

————

"You said he left with a teenager?" Liu He listened to the report of the person who watched him, and he was a little incredulous.

The man wrapped in darkness replied respectfully, "That young man is a drunkard in the city, and has no background. ”

"That's weird, could it be that the old guy really didn't give him the things?" Liu He frowned, he had already carefully examined the master's body, and he had also used coercive methods on his spirit, but he had no gains.

"Could it be that the old sect master doesn't have that thing at all?" The man who was kneeling on the ground suddenly looked up and said a guess.

"No! it can't be!" Liu He shook his head firmly, muttering in his mouth.

If he hadn't determined the location of that thing, he would never have made a move on his master, but he couldn't find it at this time, which made Liu He a little puzzled, such treasures were obtained by ordinary monks, and it was absolutely impossible for them to sink their temper.

"But why, that Dao person can be so calm after getting it, is he really a mortal?" The more he thought about it, the more doubts Liu He had in his heart.

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared on his side, surrounded by black smoke, and two ghost fires danced in it, "Liu He, you haven't found what the Lord wants?"

Liu He gritted his teeth and bowed down: "I implore the envoy to give the younger generation some more time, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the Lord." ”

"Hehehe...... That's the best, otherwise, the flesh of a Jindan monk, I think those hungry ghosts will be interested. The figure emitted a puff of black smoke, dragged a corpse behind Liu He, and said with a cruel smile: "Ten days at the latest, otherwise the envoy will not be able to save your life." ”

After saying that, Black Smoke laughed strangely and left.

Liu He and the black shadow man were relatively speechless, and the latter gritted his teeth for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Just give him the body of the old sect master, how to explain it when he returns to the door?"

Liu He smiled miserably, "Go back, if you don't have that thing, you and I can still go back?"

The man hung his head and said nothing.

"Continue to stare at the old Taoist priest, once you find the whereabouts of that thing, kill!" Liu He's eyes shot a fierce light.

————

As the days grew, the young man could only get a table of barely tableable meals, and called his sister and Chen Sheng to sit down.

Chen Sheng stared at the little girl's expression that was more ugly than crying, and couldn't help asking, "There are so many good things to eat, are you not happy?"

The little girl raised her head with difficulty, and her voice was hoarse: "This table costs a lot of money, and my money is saved for my brother's daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Shengle smiled and said, "Just marrying a daughter-in-law, don't you want to save some dowry?"

"Nope. The little girl shook her head and pursed her lips and said, "Our daughter-in-law is precious, if we become a dowry, my brother's money for marrying a daughter-in-law will not be enough." ”

Chen Sheng nodded, and said, "Then have you ever thought that you will first take these silver coins as a dowry, and then give your brother a daughter-in-law after marrying the money in exchange for marrying, won't that be fine?"

The little girl seemed to suddenly understand something, her eyes were full of light, and then she stared at the food on the table, her lips curled.

Crying loudly, Chen Sheng laughed on the side.

Chen Wu, a young man who was still busy in the kitchen, hurriedly ran out, and when he saw this situation, he didn't dare to ask Chen Sheng, so he pulled his sister over and asked softly, "What's the matter, don't cry or cry, there is a brother." ”

The girl choked and pointed to the table, then to herself, and cried even louder.

The boy scratched his head, not knowing why.
