Chapter 5: Grudge
"Evil?"
Chen Tang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, what do you mean?"
The Taoist priest twisted his beard and smiled, and shook the banner in his hand: "This Taoist 'Zhan Yangchun' is a Taoist priest who walks in the floating mountain, walks out of the world, divination for others, exorcises evil spirits and destroys delusions, and the fee varies from one time to ......"
If it weren't for the two indelible bruises on his wrists, Chen Tang would have regarded the other party as a god stick in the rivers and lakes.
He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and counted out five cents: "Dao Chief, that's all I have." ”
Zhan Yangchun was not too little, he took it very quickly, put it in his pocket, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves and showed him the bruises on his wrists.
Zhan Yangchun looked at it carefully, touched it again, leaned over, sniffed it with his nose, and said, "It turned out to be a grudge, this mark should have been left by someone close to you." ”
"Yes, it's my teacher, but he's no longer alive......"
"Hehe, of course it was left by the dead, otherwise how could it be evil?"
Chen Tangqi asked, "Dao Chief, what exactly is evil?"
Zhan Yangchun replied: "The evil things in the world can be divided into two categories, one is 'stubbornness', which can be resolved, and the other is 'ferocious', which can only be eliminated...... I tell you this, and you don't understand it. Let's just talk about your stubbornness. Your teacher must have something to tell you to do and complete. ”
Chen Tang said: "Well, he wants me to take the exam." ”
Zhan Yangchun nodded: "This is your teacher's grudge." He has an obsession in his heart and can't let it go, so he pins his trust on others and exerts it on you. Only when you are admitted to the lifting of people, will the attachment be automatically resolved, and at that time, you may also get some benefits due to misfortune. ”
Chen Tang asked, "What if you can't pass the test?"
"Hehe, then you're out of luck. At the beginning of this attachment, it does not occur for a long time, but then it occurs every day, and the longer it drags on, the more often it occurs, the more intense the pain becomes, and finally it hurts you to death, and the torment is not human......"
Chen Tang listened, gasped, and hurriedly asked, "Is there no other way to resolve it?"
Zhan Yangchun shook his head: "It's difficult, it's much more difficult than if you go to the exam." Therefore, this way advises you to review your homework more and take the exam well. The initial stage of this resentment is just your teacher reminding you to urge you to study hard, not a real resentment, but if it can't be completed after two or three years, then the love is deep and the hatred is keen, and it will teach you a hard lesson. ”
Chen Tang smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart: This time, I was really miserable by the teacher......
In Yinguo, the Tongzi Examination and the Juzi Examination are both taken once a year, and the highest level of the Tianzi Examination is taken once every three years.
Among them, there are also regulations, whether it is a children's test or a lifting test, the first exam, candidates only need to bring their own travel expenses, food and accommodation, and nothing else is basically needed. But if you fail the list for the first time, it will be different if you take the exam again the next year, all expenses will have to be paid by yourself, and in addition, you will have to pay a lot of "re-examination fees".
In the world, how many of them can pass at one time? Seven or eight times out of ten, they all have to take the retest, or even the third or fourth test......
For example, Chen Tang's predecessor took the children's exam three times, and only then did he win a show. Therefore, for the first exam, I don't dare to sign up easily, and I have to study and prepare well, so I can apply for the exam to see if I can take the exam at one time without retaking the exam. Otherwise, the re-examination fee for the sub-examination alone can make him worry overnight, and he can save enough for a few years.
The Juzi test is held every autumn, also known as the "autumn test", counting the days, and this year's exam is still more than three months away.
The problem is that now Chen Tang is poor and white, and the foundation of the article is not very good, and he was "grudged" on his wrist by the teacher for no reason, forcing him to take the exam, if he can't pass the exam, he will face a large amount of re-examination fees next year. It is equivalent to falling into a huge quagmire, and the more you struggle, the deeper you fall.
"Teacher, teacher, you forced me to take the exam, so I could leave a bag of silver for me, so that I can also have the money to buy more books, or enter Panzhou College for further study, so that I can go to the exam......"
Chen Tang couldn't help but sneer.
Panzhou College is the most famous university in Panzhou, and Xiucai takes classes in it to study, which can improve the chances of being on the list. However, unless the talent with excellent grades is admitted to the "Dian Sheng", other people who want to enter the college have to pay a lot of tuition fees, as well as various tuition and miscellaneous fees.
In other words, it is called "poverty is the mother of failure"!
Chen Tang is very poor now, and after giving Zhan Yangchun five yuan, the last few yuan in his pocket is only enough for today's lunch.
After the explanation, Zhan Yangchun made a slight joke: "What should be said, the poor road has been said, the scholar is good to do it himself, and he will leave." ”
With a banner in hand, he walked away.
Chen Tang was depressed, bought two buns, filled his stomach indiscriminately, and sat on the stall, bored, depressed, and unable to stretch. Simply sharpen the ink and pick up the pen, and write the yellow-edged paper:
The young man does not know the taste of sorrow, falls in love with the floor, falls in love with the floor, and says sorrow for the new words;
Now I know the taste of sorrow, I want to say that I will rest, and I want to say that I will rest, but I will say that the weather is cool and autumn!
There is only one word in the whole article: sorrow!
After writing, put down the pen and calm down a little.
In the afternoon, on Hanmo Street, pedestrians were even more sparse, and no one had walked by for a long time.
Guarding the stall, Chen Tang fell asleep, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching, he hurriedly looked up, and saw a man in a strong suit walking over.
Zhao Sanye!
Chen Tang didn't know him, but he knew that this master was a rich man, and the clothes on his body were all handmade for hundreds of dollars. He would come to Hanmo Street every month for a walk, mainly to enter the calligraphy, painting and antique shops on both sides. He made a bold move, and he did not hesitate to spend money on calligraphy and painting.
However, these basically have nothing to do with Chen Tang, he sighed, and was thinking about whether to close the stall and go home early and find another way.
"Huh?"
That Zhao Sanye sighed lightly, as if he was aware of it, he suddenly walked to Chen Tang's stall, looked at the words with burning eyes, and praised: "Good words, good words!"
Hearing this, Chen Tang suddenly perked up and became vibrant.
In another time and space, he was a Chinese teacher, and his hobby was practicing calligraphy and painting, walking Go, and so on. He has learned a lot of famous characters: Wei Bei, Yan Ti, and Mao cursive, etc., which can be regarded as a bit of attainment, and has won many awards in the local amateur circle.
Now listening to Zhao Sanye's praise, he is happy in his heart, and he is silent on the surface: "Thank you for the praise." ”
"I bought this letter, how much does it cost!"
Sure enough, it's a high roller.
Chen Tang struggled in his heart for a while, and then carefully stretched out a finger.
"A hundred dollars, no problem. ”
Zhao Sanye took out a big coin very boldly, and handed it over to Huang Cancan.
Chen Tang couldn't help but be stunned, in fact, he just wanted to say "ten cents", where did he think that the other party would misunderstand it as a hundred cents.
Could it be that my words, those poems from another time and space, are so valuable in the Yin Kingdom?
Chen Tang was suddenly overjoyed, and seemed to have found a golden way to get rich.
It's just that I always feel that something is wrong......
