(New week, ask for collection tickets!)

The ox cart is slow, due to the road conditions, there are some bumps from time to time, people in the car, sitting for a long time, is not comfortable.

Wang Fu worked very hard and brought a book with him, which he read with relish; Chen Tang did not read the book, but put on a posture of meditation - the current environment is not able to settle down, but only to recuperate.

After reading a page of the book, Wang Fu looked up, saw him like this, and asked curiously: "No, where did you learn this?"

Chen Tang didn't open his eyes, and replied casually: "It's just fiddling, it's more comfortable to sit." ”

Wang Fu glanced at him and saw that his face was ruddy, his eyebrows were handsome, his face was yellow and thin, and he wanted to live a comfortable life in the near future.

"No, look at you now, full of energy, it's good to be young. ”

Speaking of which, I can't help but sigh, he has three Chinese New Year's Eve today, although he can't be called an old showman, but he is definitely not young, he doesn't dare to think about this year's exam, and after two or three years of study, he may have a chance.

Chen Tang thought for a while and said, "Brother Qingyang, I'm going to apply for this year's exam." ”

Wang Fu said "ah", and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be careful, you have to think twice, if you can't pass the exam, next time, you will have to pay a re-examination fee of 500 yuan." ”

Chen Tang looked resolute: "I have decided that how many times can I fight in my life?" ”

I can't talk to him about the grievances, for fear of frightening him.

Wang Fu looked at him, as if he felt strange, Chen Tang was very cautious in the past, it was not good to say, he was a little cowardly, and after looking forward, he hesitated. But now he said that he wanted to refer to the test, and he couldn't help but say it. You must know that at his age, he can calmly prepare for three or five years, and it is not too late to apply for the exam. At that time, the scriptures and texts were eaten more thoroughly, and the grasp was naturally much greater.

"How sure are you now?"

Chen Tang replied: "Four, fifty percent." ”

Hearing this, Wang Fu suddenly shook his head: This is no different from gambling, but with Chen Tang's family background, he can't afford to gamble at all, once he loses the bet, it is equivalent to falling into a bottomless pit, and it is difficult to climb up again.

However, Chen Tang had already made up his mind, and Wang Fu was not easy to persuade anything. Everyone has their own future, and they are not children anymore.

Chen Tang said again: "I plan to study at Panzhou College in some time. ”

Wang Fu said: "If you apply for the exam this year, you must go to the college to audit, and if you study well, you can grasp it with two more points...... Did you earn your tuition?"

Chen Tang shook his head: "Not yet, but there will be." ”

When Wang Fu heard this, his eyes bulged: What is this called? It sounds very unreliable, as if when God opens his eyes, he will drop the money, and he will have to fall in front of him......

"Well, you just have to plan it. ”

Wang Fu continued to read.

I set out in the morning, rested for a while, and finally arrived at Mangniuling at noon.

Chen Tang jumped down, bent over with his arms raised, and stretched his muscles.

The mountain temple is located halfway up the mountain, and there is a path to reach it, which is not difficult to walk, and you can directly drive the ox cart up.

Now that we are at the foot of the mountain, we have to rest first.

Wang Fu bought dry food, and the three of them shared food together to fill their stomachs. If you go to the temple, you won't be able to eat in front of the gods.

"Let's go up the mountain. ”

Wang Fu clapped his hands and shouted.

Gotta hurry up and get back.

"Let's go. ”

Chen Tang doesn't talk nonsense.

Because it was going up the mountain, it was difficult for the ox cart to carry the load, so the two had to walk, and it was difficult to sit in the car.

After walking for a while, Wang Fu was already panting, but Chen Tang was still light and didn't even sweat.

Seeing this, Wang Fu had to sigh that "the years are not forgiving" - although he is only thirty years old.

Wang Xiaowu, who was driving the car, was also secretly surprised when he saw this.

You must know that scholars are often sedentary, do not work, lack exercise, and are all weak scholars. Only those with a good family background can have the opportunity to practice martial arts and stay up, and only those who do not worry about eating and drinking can often visit the mountains and rivers and carry out outdoor sports.

Chen Tang walked up the mountain road, and soon left Wang Fu behind.

"Don't be reserved, I'll ...... later"

Wang Fu shouted: "No, you have to rest, let Xiao Wu catch up first." ”

Chen Tang had no choice but to stop and be a companion with him.

Seeing Wang Fu's appearance, Chen Tang remembered his previous self, which was the same. In less than a month, he has undergone a radical change.

This is not something that can be changed by eating and drinking.

Then the root cause is about to come out, and it must be inseparable from the "Sutra of Good Maintenance". He practiced the sense of qi, moisturized the meridians, and made him physically strong. If you can run it completely for a week, and your sense of qi grows, you will definitely have better results, and you may be able to cut down the hair and wash the marrow, and become a martial arts master!

As a Chinese, Chen Tang has always had a dream of happiness and revenge in his heart, even if he gets older and his life is unsatisfactory, he has never lost it.

After a few minutes of rest, continue up the mountain.

When the two of them arrived at the temple of Nashan, the sun was in the sky, and the sun was shining down, but fortunately, in the mountains, there were green trees hanging and the breeze was cooler.

This temple is not tall, a square one, the stone is the wall, the green tile is the roof, and a horizontal plaque is hung on the lintel, which reads the word "God blesses". There is a couplet on each side: the earth is thick, the people are thick, and the earth spirit is more spiritual.

Outside the temple gate, there is an open space, hundreds of square meters.

Chen Tang entered the temple and saw that there was only one statue of a god inside, about three feet high, covered in armor, holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, with a red face and a black beard, and a majestic face.

The front side of the idol is made of stone slabs. There is a brass incense burner on the altar, and the incense in the furnace is full of incense, and it is obvious that someone has come to worship.

Around Mangniuling, it is quite barren, and there are no villages and towns, and most of the people who come here to worship and incense are outsiders like Chen Tang.

In fact, the mountain temple itself is a mystery, some say that a hundred years ago, for a well-dressed official eunuch who returned to his hometown to fund the construction; some say that the villagers outside the believers spontaneously raised funds, invited people to see the feng shui, and then chose to build here; there is also a more bizarre theory, saying that overnight, the mountain temple rose from the ground, is adhering to the atmosphere of the mountains and forests here, naturally formed......

The last statement is not only absurd, but also almost divine.

What's even more strange is that this temple has never been presided over by a temple celebrity. Statues and other objects are taken care of spontaneously by believers who come to offer incense.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the incense of the mountain temple has been flourishing for decades.

"Don't be careful, come out and help carry the sacrifices to the table!"

Outside, Wang Fu shouted.

"Good. ”

Chen Tang answered and was about to step out. Suddenly, the corners of his eyes swept over the idol, and he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to wink at him.

This discovery made Chen Tang feel like he was in an ice cave, shivering all over his body, and his bones were terrified.
