Chapter 13 The Idle Years

After chatting with Zhao Chenghuang and the three of them for a while, the three of them said goodbye and left because they had official business, Mo Chen said goodbye to the three of them, and looked at the Chenghuang Temple again, but still didn't see the two carpenters who helped him deliver the goods, so he had to go home, after all, I heard the old carpenter of the carpenter shop say that he would send the recliner over today, in case someone sent it over, and he was not at home, wouldn't it delay people's time? Thinking of this, Mo Chen didn't delay anymore, and walked straight towards Mingyuexuan.

From a distance, Mo Chen saw two big men squatting at the door of his house, and when they got closer, sure enough, it was the two carpenters, and the recliner he had customized was placed behind the two.

"I'm sorry, just now Mo met the old man in the City God Temple, and chatted for a while, the two of you have been waiting for a long time. Mo Chen looked at the two of them and said sorry.

When the two carpenters saw Mo Chen coming over, they hurriedly stood up and said to Mo Chen in unison: "Sir, you are too polite, we have just arrived for a while." ”

Mo Chen glanced at the two of them suspiciously, why did these two suddenly be so respectful to themselves? Thinking that the neighbors had become more and more respectful to him in the past few days, he thought to himself, could it be that this custom is still in this place? Respect for people is increasing day by day? Alas...... Can't figure it out, can't figure it out......

Waiting for the two to put down the recliner, Mo Chen wanted to leave the two to drink a glass of water before leaving, but the two just refused, Mo Chen could only let the two leave, and when Mo Chen closed the door, the two carpenters outside the door looked at each other, and one of them said: "Just now this big gentleman should be ...... with those three masters."

The other nodded approvingly, but he was too taboo to say more, and the two looked respectfully at the courtyard before leaving together.

Mo Chen slumped comfortably on the recliner he had just sent, swaying back and forth, enjoying the feeling that his whole body was extremely relaxed, and took out the bamboo slip of the water resistance spell with relish.

Unconsciously, half a month has passed, Mo Chen has been quite idle in the past half a month, in addition to studying the magic cheats given to him by the old city god during the day, he also looked at the bamboo slips about the strange things in the world of cultivating immortals, or chatting with neighbors to learn about the history of the country now. At night, he was in meditation and cultivation, and it was no surprise that someone always came to stare at his door plaque in the middle of the night.

It's just that I don't know where the rumors came from, in recent days, there have always been people in Qingyoufang who have spread what kind of strange person they are, and Mo Chen thought about it, combined with the fact that there are always people who come to see his door plaque, it is not difficult to guess that when the strange person says it, I am afraid that it has something to do with the words he wrote on the door plaque. Fortunately, I came to peep at night, ah, there are fewer and fewer people who come to pay homage to the door plaque, otherwise Mo Chen would have to change the plaque.

At this time, the autumn harvest season has passed, and because this is the edge of the Great Yan Country, there was a military rebellion a few years ago, although it was later suppressed strongly, but it still damaged some vitality, and it was the emperor of the Great Yan Country who exempted Anxi County from five years of forced labor, so most of the farmers in Qingyoufang were idle at home, and Mo Chen could see them gathering together to chat every time he went out.

After half a month of cultivation, the mana in Mo Chen's body is much more powerful, and the five qi in his chest are becoming more and more condensed, and the several techniques given by the old city god can be regarded as all reaching the entry level

In the past half a month, he has also continued to study the bamboo slips in the three-legged and two-eared tripod in his Dingzhong world, but unfortunately there is no progress, and there are two carps in the tripod that are different from other immortal cultivators, Mo Chen has no idea about them, but he has a little insight into the little golden light generated by the two carps swimming in a circle.

According to the immortal classics given by the old city god, it is speculated that that little bit of golden light seems to be the legendary Xuanhuang Qi, but he is not sure, after all, the classics introduce that the Xuanhuang Qi is not something that monks can cultivate, but that little bit of golden light has a lot in common with the Xuanhuang Qi recorded in the classics.

"Mr. Mo, are you at home?"

A voice interrupted Mo Chen's thoughts, Mo Chen got down on the recliner, and after opening the door, he saw that it was Du Ming standing outside the door with an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and the two of them were each holding a jar of wine in their hands.

"It turned out to be Brother Du, please come in, what's the matter?" Mo Chen said.

Du Ming smiled and said, "These two jars are my family's newly brewed 100-day drunk, I'll bring them over and let you taste them." ”

Mo Chen had received a lot of things from the neighbors in the past two days, and he knew that he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only think about doing something for these neighbors in the future, so he took the wine jar in the young man's hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Du for the gift." ”

Du Ming saw Mo Chen accept the wine, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Mr. Mo, these two jars of wine were brewed by my father himself, you have to taste them, I have not finished learning his old man's craft for more than 20 years." ”

Mo Chen smiled and nodded, indicating that he must taste it well, and then looked at the young man brought by Du Ming and asked, "Is this Brother Du's child?" ”

Du Ming heard him praise the young man, although there was some joy on his face, he couldn't hide a trace of bitterness, and said: "This is my Du Kang, Kang'er, I've seen Mr. Mo soon." ”

My name is Du Kang, and he is a winemaking family, Nima, it can't be such a coincidence, right?

Du Kang listened to his father's words and saluted Mo Chen, but he looked good, but he didn't speak.

Du Ming looked at Mo Chen's puzzled expression and explained: "This child is also a hard life, he can't speak when he is born, he is a bad person." We named him Du Kang in the hope that he would recover soon. ”

Mo Chen nodded with relief, which means dumb, glanced at the young man with some pity, then smiled, and said, "I wonder if little Du Kang has ever read?"

"Where have you read any books, this kid can't speak, how can a gentleman be willing to teach him, once invited a scholar who didn't have a talent to teach him for a few days, and he barely knew a few words. Our family doesn't expect this child to be able to study and take the exam, just wait for another two years to teach him the craft of winemaking, and he won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Du Ming sighed.

Hearing this, Mo Chen touched Du Kang's little head and said, "If Brother Du doesn't mind, I can teach little Du Kang to read, although Mo is not talented, he can also know some words." ”

"Mr. Mo, won't this be too troublesome for you. When Du Ming heard this, his face was excited, now everyone in Qingyoufang is rumored that this Mr. Mo is a strange person, and now this strange person actually wants to teach his children to read?!

Mo Chen looked at him with an excited look on his face and smiled: "Not only Xiao Du Kang, all the children in Qingyoufang can be sent over, Mo is idle every day, it is better to help the neighbors do something." ”

Although he was temporary, he was also thoughtful, most of these Qingyoufang are some peasant Liba, and they can only meet food and clothing on weekdays, where is there spare money to send their children to private schools, and in the past few days, a lot of neighbors have also sent him a lot of things, as the so-called useless is not lost, just take this opportunity to return this love, and Mo Chen has been practicing most of the time in the past half a month, it's time to change his mind.

"I don't know how happy you would be if you knew the news. Mr. Mo is really noble. I'm going to tell everyone the news. Du Ming said excitedly.

After speaking, he bowed to Mo Chen, and directly pulled Du Kang to turn around and leave, looking at his hurried steps, he was obviously extremely excited.

Mo Chen smiled, went back to the house to get a wine glass, and poured out a glass of wine sent by Du Ming, and suddenly, a smell of wine wafted out, refreshing people's hearts.

"It's a good wine, and it looks like I should go to his tavern and buy a few jars when I have time." ”

......

Late at night.

On the deserted street, two figures suddenly appeared, those two figures were wearing night clothes, black scarves and masks, and they were extremely fast, and they walked to the vicinity of Mingyue Xuan after a while, and one of them said: "That is the residence of Mr. Mo, who is rumored to be a strange person in Qingyoufang?"

"That's right, big brother, I've been squatting for a few days, that's it, and the rumors are true, that door plaque is not only very well written, but at night, it will really shine. The other replied.

"Okay, we'll take this plaque away tonight, and the money that the employer gave us will be enough to live happily for a long time. “

At night, these two people moved, and they arrived at the door of Mo Chen's house in the blink of an eye, the two looked at the three words [Mingyue Xuan], and it was faintly glowing, and they no longer hesitated at the moment, and a jump directly hooked the door plaque, trying to take the door plaque off, but the strange thing is that no matter how hard the two of them tried, the door plaque did not move at all.

"Huh, damn it, did you hit the evil one?"

The two tried for a long time, but in the end they could only stand on the ground, panting, and helplessly looking at the plaque on the door.

"Big brother, let's go, it's really a bit evil here. ”

"Damn, I can't go, I've been traveling north and south for so many years, what can't I steal?"

Mo Chen sat on the bed, he had already found the two people who were about to steal his door plaque, he wanted to go out and drive the two away, under the observation of his divine sense, he didn't expect that his door plaque still had such ability, seeing that the two looked angry, Mo Chen smiled slightly, put the fingers of his right hand together, and shouted softly: "Go." ”

A trace of mana passed through the courtyard of the door and acted on the door plaque, and then the two thieves outside the door saw the door plaque that they had not taken away for a long time, and suddenly a light lit up, shining directly on the two of them, and then the two of them were horrified to realize that their bodies could not move, and they wanted to speak, but they couldn't open their mouths.
