Chapter 6: White Lies

Leaving the Confucius Temple, Chen Xian went to Tiankeng Town in the south.

Along the way, he was not idle, sweeping the grass and trees on the side of the road with the dzi bead, and he never got tired of it. It's a pity that he doesn't know how to practice yet, otherwise with the golden aura he has harvested, he may be able to complete a realm breakthrough.

"In my previous life, there was a saying called 'his arsenic, my fairy grass', which made sense, but now that it is on me, it should be changed to 'his shit, my elixir'!"

The Dzi is extremely powerful, and can decompose everything into golden aura. In his eyes, nothing is waste, as long as he is not disgusting, even dog shit and cat shit can be used for cultivation.

Swept along the way, he swept the road clean and thorough.

Gently, he went, just as he came gently, and with a wave of his sleeve, not a cloud remained......

In the evening, he finally arrived in the town of Tiankeng.

As soon as I entered the town, I was greeted by familiar villagers and asked, "Xiaoxian, didn't you take Xiaoyu out to collect medicine, why did you come back alone?"

Chen Xian was embarrassed.

He didn't get the memory of the host, so he was really pitted, and chatted around the corner for a long time before he inquired about the location of his home. The traverser fell to this one, and he also stumbled home.

"Palm Reading Book Shop...... The name of this store is too spicy chicken, and it sounds better if it is changed to Yuewen!"

He stood in front of his house, looked at the plaque and hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to enter the door of the house to meet the strange "parents".

Seeing him enter the door, a short and thin middle-aged man put down his abacus, walked out from behind the counter, and reprimanded: "The girl is playing crazy outside again? It's not early, you, as an elder brother, don't know how to restrain her to go home!"

Although his mouth was stern, the shopkeeper Chen Jingzi quickly took the medicine basket, caught a glimpse of the dust on his son's body, and his eyes were full of love.

He thought that his daughter, as usual, was playing in the town.

Chen Xian's heart was like a knife, but he smiled on his face, "Dad, tell you a great happy event! We met a master halfway, he favored his sister and was willing to enter the mountain gate to preach!"

He could see that his family was mediocre, and his father was just an ordinary person, even if he knew the truth, he couldn't help rescue his sister, so he could only be anxious and to no avail.

As a son, you should not let your parents be afraid.

Therefore, he will be wrong and tell a white lie.

On the way back, he figured out some key details and was sure that even if it was for the sake of trading, the mysterious person would treat Chen Yu well and would not dare to cause harm.

The coming day is long, and he wants to follow the most comfortable rhythm and take his time.

Chen Jingzi's expression changed drastically, grabbed him by the collar, and forced him to ask: "What did you say? The fish were abducted! Tell me quickly, in which direction they ran!"

Chen Xian expected his father to react like this, and hurriedly explained: "It's not abduction, it's the predecessor of the Confucian Academy......!

There is no way, from the time he crossed over to the present, he had only heard of the master and the academy, and now he lied, and he could only put the black cauldron on the other party's head.

"Academy?" Chen Jingzi frowned, and was not fooled by his son, "The academy is in Chang'an City in the Northern Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of miles away from here, how could their people come to the territory of Dajin!"

When Chen Xian heard this, his heart chuckled, and he suddenly felt cold.

What? The academy is tens of thousands of miles away!

What kind of interstellar joke, dare to love the mysterious person is to ask him to trek through mountains and rivers and learn scriptures like Tang Seng!

In addition, listening to Daddy's meaning, the academy seems to be the power of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he is in the so-called Great Jin Dynasty, which belongs to two different dynasties.

What is this? Let him infiltrate the Northern Tang Dynasty as a spy?

His mentality exploded, and thousands of grass and mud horses were galloping. I never expected that the task of going to the academy would hide such a huge amount of information behind it, which was too amazing.

This is a sinkhole!

The more Chen Jingzi thought about it, the more panicked he became, like an ant on a hot pot, messing up, "Why don't you use your brain, it must be a trafficker who is pretending to be a ......college!

Anxious, sad, and helpless, he, like his parents all over the world, is worried about the safety of his daughter.

Seeing this, Chen Xian persuaded: "Dad, I haven't been deceived, he is really a senior of the academy! I don't believe it, this is the secret book of exercises left to me by my predecessors, and it is the mastery of Confucianism in the Northern Tang Dynasty!"

As he spoke, he took out the "Empty Palm" left by the mysterious man.

Whether this palm method is a Confucian masterpiece, he doesn't know. But he knew that his father was just an ordinary person, and his vision was limited, so how could he distinguish the real from the fake? Anyway, this exercise was over!

Sure enough, Chen Jingzi took the booklet and looked at it carefully, his expression gradually changing subtly.

"I have been selling books for my father for many years, and I am well versed in the differences between the writings of the Jin and Tang dynasties, which is indeed unmistakable in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the words of this book are exquisite, subtle and meaningful, and it is also quite Confucian. Am I suspicious?"

He muttered softly, rubbing the booklet in his hand, his eyes flickering.

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: "I'm just talking nonsense, how do you look at this situation, it actually looks like a real Confucian classic? That mysterious person once scared me to kowtow to my master, but he won't ...... What a Confucian boss!"

This is a good thing, not only did he succeed in deceiving his father, but he even fooled himself in.

"Dad, have you ever seen a trafficker who would take the initiative to leave a subtle exercise? To put it mildly, its value alone is enough to buy dozens of maids, and it is not enough for me to abduct them together!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jingzi's big-eared shaving fanned over, but there was no anger, "Shut your stinky mouth!"

"Confucianism and Absolute Learning" was placed in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe this lie.

Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, let his father slap him, and said with a smile: "The senior said that he took his sister to go first, and let me come back and explain it, and then go to the academy to get rid of it and accompany my sister to practice together!"

Explain the whereabouts of his sister first, let his father feel at ease, and then take the opportunity to leave, completely solve the cause and effect of the host, and take away a living allowance by the way, he can kill three birds with one stone for telling this lie.

To be fair-minded, he did this and helped the host do some good housework, instead of leaving directly, which was already benevolent and righteous.

Chen Jingzi's expression was gloomy, he sighed, and instantly became much older, "The rivers and lakes are sinister, I didn't want to let you go out, but now...... Let's go, if you stay in the town, you will be captured by the Zhou family as a slave!"

"The Zhou family?"

Chen Xian was stunned.

Chen Jingzi sat back on the chair, his body was stiff, and he said dejectedly: "Now that the matter is now, I won't hide it from you." In the past two years, your brother and sister have spent a lot of money on cultivation, and in order not to delay you, your father can only hide from his family and borrow foreign debts......"

Before the words were finished, Chen Xian, who was a man of two lives, had already understood.

Since ancient times, the poor are rich in martial arts, and martial arts practice has always been a very money-burning thing, all relying on piling up resources and taking elixir pills to support. Therefore, there is a huge threshold for cultivation, and people from poor families cannot cultivate the Tao at all.

The Chen family makes a living by running a bookstore, although they are not poor, but they have nothing to do with wealth, and it is very difficult to even support Chen Xian to practice alone, not to mention his sister Chen Yu.

But in the early years, there was a fortune teller who passed by the town and said that his brother and sister had wonderful roots and bones, and they were both unborn cultivation wizards, and they would become dragons and phoenixes in the future, and they were unimaginably powerful.

At that time, Chen Jingzi's heart was full of joy, and he decided without hesitation to go all out to cultivate his brother and sister, even if the family was bankrupt.

As a result, the brother and sister were able to concentrate on cultivation and did not have to worry about the pill exercises. They are still young, how can they understand how much bitterness their father has endured for them in the silent efforts behind their backs!

Fourteen to sixteen years old is the golden period of one's cultivation, and it should never be missed. Luckily, they had a great and selfless father behind them, and they didn't miss the golden period.

But unfortunately, the family is in debt, and even though my father is great, he is also ordinary, and he can't support it after all.

"This year, the bookstore business is sluggish, the interest has not been paid, and it is about to collapse. In the afternoon, the Zhou family came to give an ultimatum: within ten days, if the money is not paid back, this shop will change its surname!"
