Chapter 10: The Scholar
"What's bothering Madame?"
A thin old man who looked like a fairy wind and crane bones sat on the side of the Eight Immortals table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
In addition to the old Taoist priest, there is only one Taoist boy who looks quite smart, and the Taoist boy seems to know that this pilgrim can deal with it, so he ran away with the smoke, and the old Taoist priest was not angry, and asked Li Xiangrong to sit down on the side of the Eight Immortals table in the small courtyard, and then asked.
"The slave family is polite," Li Xiangrong also politely gave a blessing, sat dignifiedly, and said: "Dao Chief, the slave family came to ask for a signature, and today is restless, so I want to be auspicious." As he spoke, he took out a few copper plates from his sleeves, put them on the table of the Eight Immortals, and pushed them to Lao Dao.
The old man's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's rare for Mrs. to visit so devoutly, Poor Dao is to lose ten years of strength to get a good sign for Mrs., Madame, and wait for Poor Dao to get the hanging lot." ”
"Then there is Lao Xianchang. ”
Seeing this, Li Xiangrong's expression was even more polite.
After a while, the old man came back, carefully holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and saw that the beautiful woman was still sitting there, looking dignified and virtuous, he smiled and said, "Madame has been waiting for a long time." ”
Speaking, he sat aside, holding the bamboo tube and reciting words, for a long time, Lao Dao said to Li Xiangrong a little tiredly: "Madam, Poor Dao has worked hard to communicate with the Holy Ancestor of the Three Qings, you can rest assured to ask for a signature, if there are still little ghosts who don't open their eyes, Lao Dao will definitely escort Mrs., and he will not hesitate to give up his Taoism." ”
Li Xiangrong nodded, took the bamboo tube, closed her eyes and shook the lot.
The old man on the side showed kindness on his face, and carefully looked at Li Xiangrong's full body.
After shaking it a few times, a sign fell to the ground in response, Li Xiangrong opened her eyes, bent down to pick it up, took a look, and won the lot.
"Madame, can you shake the result to your satisfaction?"
Lao Dao saw that Li Xiangrong looked at the stick and didn't speak, so he asked.
"Okay. ”
Li Xiangrong was not greedy, handed the sign to Lao Dao, Lao Dao took it and looked at it, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, and said something quickly, Li Xiangrong didn't know how to unsign, although she felt that the Dao Chang's movements were a little weird, but she still didn't ask, she knew that everyone had his own way, and she had come to this Xiaoguan to ask for a sign a few times, and every time it seemed that this Dao Chang had a different move to unsign, Li Xiangrong thought to herself, probably because the Dao Chang did have some real skills, and was moved by her piety, so she was so attentive.
"Madam, the owner of this sign is here, it seems that the Holy Ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty wants to protect the safety of your family and ensure the prosperity of your family. Lao Dao didn't say the vague words, and said directly, Li Xiangrong heard this, and her face was obviously a lot more relaxed.
"That's fine. ”
Li Xiangrong nodded, and looked at Lao Dao's eyes and softened a lot: "The slave family bows to the Taoist chief." ”
Lao Dao shook his head and smiled: "Madame doesn't have to be polite, just use people's money to eliminate disasters for others." ”
Li Xiangrong nodded, stood up, and was about to leave.
"Madam, it's not too late to eat some fasting and leave, I don't know where Madame is?" Lao Dao got up, and the smile on his face was much thicker.
"Binh Duong. ”
Li Xiangrong replied politely, and automatically ignored the first half of the old way.
"It turned out to be a big family, I don't know what the relationship between the Yu family and Mrs. is?" asked Lao Dao casually.
Li Xiangrong thought about it, and she already understood this old Taoist idea, and just smiled lightly at the moment: "The Taoist noble person forgets things, the slave family came to visit a few years ago, and at that time, he went to the Taoist chief with his husband to put on a stick of incense, which can be regarded as a little incense, and now the slave family has entered the iron guard, and he has become a general who is not big or small, and he often mentions you, the Taoist chief, and says that he will come to visit again when he has time." ”
Lao Dao was stunned at the moment, and smiled more and more kindly: "It turned out to be Mrs., but in recent years, the Xiaoguan House leak has happened to rain overnight, and the poor road is tired of coping, so I don't even remember Mrs., I hope to forgive me!"
"How dare the little woman blame the immortal chief. ”
Li Xiangrong smiled undiminished and said, "The slave family will leave first, and then come back to visit in the future." When the old Taoist heard this, he laughed, took the initiative to guide her, and sent out a small view.
Looking at her back from afar, Lao Dao snorted softly,
"General Yu, it's a hard stubble, this woman dares to run out of the city alone, and she really has a little confidence. ”
"You are an old man, Nian Yu Huajia is just a third-rate martial artist, you dare to show off in front of people, and you are even more interested in seeing the color, with bad intentions, such a bad person, you are also worthy of being a disciple of Taoism?"
Suddenly, a joking voice came from all directions, Lao Dao didn't have time to react, he was already hanging upside down in the air with his ankles, Lao Dao's heart trembled, and he really didn't know where he had offended such a god-man.
"I can't control the broken things of the Daomen, but if you are disgusting to me, then I can only disgust you. ”
Lao Dao only felt a finger on his eyebrows, and he fainted in a whirlwind, unconscious.
After throwing the old way away like garbage, the man looked at the direction in which Li Xiangrong left, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled: "Interesting, really interesting." So saying, he took one step, shrunk into inches, and disappeared without a trace.

Not far away is Binh Duong City
Li Xiangrong's somewhat uneasy heart gradually stabilized.
Speaking of which, she really hasn't been out of the city for a long time, this city is so big, so big that it seems to live in it all her life, and if she doesn't come out, there is nothing.
After walking out of the city early this morning, she finally remembered that she was actually just a defenseless weak woman, especially in that small view, when the woman's intuition told her that there was a problem, she was a little panicked, and she was not an uninformed woman and child, and she lightly stifled the bad heart of the old way.
After leaving the Taoist temple, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt, she really didn't know this person's heart, why was it not as good as a year?
As if knowing what she was thinking, on this road, someone sighed helplessly:
"It's really the world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! Xiaosheng has been studying in the world for seven years and eight months, and he never thought that he was attacked by thieves today.
Li Xiangrong looked at it curiously, the face was like a crown of jade, plain clothes and scarves, and he was carrying a book, but he was a clean wandering scholar.
The scholar looked distressed, his hands rummaged up and down his body, and his brows were about to be twisted together.
It seems that something was lost, probably stolen by thieves.
Li Xiangrong knew it in her heart, but she was not that indiscriminate person, that is, she sighed a little, and she was a little more disappointed in the current world.
Walk briskly towards Binh Duong City.
And the scholar took a handful of them in the air, and a sachet appeared in his hand, he shook his head at the sachet and smiled: "It's a waste of thought, but it's also a little bit angry." As he spoke, the sachet dissipated into a wisp of black smoke in his hand, and then he looked with interest at the great city not far away, and walked towards it.
The old locust tree in Huailiu Lane next door to Meihua Lane came down to a scholar who wrote and sold paintings.
Calligraphy and painting are unique, which can be described as everyone's style, but he is destined to be hungry and cold, and eating is a problem.
After all, there are really few idle characters in this Yu family city, and those Yu clan people who are struggling at the bottom can't appreciate it at all, or the gentleman of the school palace heard that such a number one person appeared to come and see, and he was immediately shocked for the sake of heaven, so the neighbors knew that the sour Xiucai, who was so poor that he couldn't even eat well, was still such a talented person, and immediately, he would help him from time to time, lest such a talented man starve to death on the street, so that the unlucky scholar could solve the problem of eating
And those gentlemen of the school palace also came to talk to him from time to time, how did he expect that the scholar was young, he had traveled to the north and south, traveled to many places, and had a very rich knowledge, from time to time, he was deeply impressed by all the gentlemen of the school palace, so the gentlemen of the school palace collectively asked for their lives, hoping that the upper echelons could recruit the scholar into the palace, and they wanted to come to the scholar to have a stable life, and they were reluctant to leave the Yu family. Such a great sage, being able to work for the Yu family is really the luck of the Yu family.
It's just that for some reason, it was clear that he was sure of nine out of ten, but he was rejected by the scholar himself, and after the scholar said a bunch of divine babbling words, he decisively shook his head and refused.
Mr. Xuegong only thinks that he is determined to be in the world, so he does not force him.
Refused an invitation with good treatment, and the scholar did not show any loss or pride, still sitting under the old locust tree, writing, drawing, and when someone came to see him, he smiled and introduced what things to people, and no one cared about it, so he either picked up the pen and worked hard, or squinted and dozed off, which was very pleasant.
Such a strange person naturally attracted the attention of the whole city, and there was gradually a flow of people in front of the scholar's stall, although most of them still looked at it and felt that they couldn't see anything and put it back carefully, but there were also a small number of people who politely asked the price after reading it, and the scholar's writing and painting things were also sold, and the scholar's eyebrows and eyes were more and more crooked, and his mouth hummed a little song from time to time.
Scholars are also famous.

After practicing qi, Yu Yanke increased his physical training.
A few days ago, I went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion again, but I went to the second floor, there was an old man on the second floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, his beard was white, the old man looked healthy, his face was ruddy, and when he saw that Yu Yanke was going to the second floor, he accepted the copper plate handed over by Yu Yanke and let him in.
The second floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion is where the real essence of the Yu clan lies, some people have always said this, Yu Yanke didn't know much about it before, until he entered here, he really felt vast.
Yu Yanke has been to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, which can be regarded as a large collection of books, but more of the area is still reserved for those who manage the Scripture Pavilion as a place for life or cultivation.
There is also a large area reserved for the children of the clan to receive punishments, in short, the structure of the first floor is far more complex than the second floor, and the second floor is simply a massive collection of books.
There are many books, but they are also well organized.
Yu Yanke quickly found the book he was looking for.
This book is very thick, divided into three volumes, that is, three books, Yu Yanke held it and went home cautiously, after all, this was just borrowed by him, and he would return it in the future.
