Chapter 177: Returning Home
When he arrived in Yuruo County, he entered the city and Chen Tang identified himself. After receiving a reception, the post station arranged a carriage to send Chen Tang back to Panzhou Mansion.
This is an additional benefit.
As a subordinate basic institution of the imperial court, the post station usually provided some soup and food to the public servants, and only provided accommodation. Regardless of food and housing, the conditions are not much better, so most of those who have money choose to take care of themselves. As for the delivery carriage business, this time it is mainly for the sake of "Tanhua" face, and it is necessary to do personal favors.
The car is old, and the one pulling the cart is also an old horse, and it doesn't go fast.
However, Chen Tang was already very satisfied, he was shy in his pocket, and he could only rely on the route of the post station to go home. Sitting in the car, you can also take a good rest and think about something.
In Fayuan Temple, I had a conversation with Yan Huandan and learned the ins and outs of the "Sutra of Good Cultivation" and some things about my deceased father. Many doubts in my heart have been explained.
Yan Huandan said that he and Chen's father obtained two sets of mystical methods together: one is the "Good Cultivation Sutra" and the other is the "Taoist Classics". Such an opportunity can be called against the sky.
Of course, Chen's father also paid the price of his life because of this.
It is difficult to compare the two sets of exercises, which is better or worse. Yan Huandan was born as a Taoist priest, and it is reasonable to choose the "Taoist Canon".
Although he said that before cultivating this sutra, he didn't have much ability. But Chen Tang didn't believe this statement, thinking that the bearded man was humble.
If you have to get the three-legged cat kung fu that doesn't enter the stream, can you have the strength to break into the murderous place and get the opportunity?
Don't laugh.
In the same way, Father Chen at that time must have been a little hot in martial arts. It's just that Chen Tang was young at the time and didn't know anything about it.
Yan Huandan was originally a master, and after practicing the "Taoist True Scripture", he was naturally better, so he dared to enter the Yin Division and seek revenge from Song Si. Unexpectedly, he was calculated and imprisoned. The reason why he has been able to support it for more than ten years is mainly because of the "Taoist Classics".
Yan Huandan didn't say much about this scripture, and Chen Tangzi didn't want to inquire. However, after some observation, Chen Tang made a discovery, and guessed that the scripture carrier might be a piece of clothing and armor, which was worn by Yan Huandan.
Or, directly refined, practiced into the body, and has been fused with flesh and blood......
The latter is more likely.
The "Sutra of Good Cultivation" is a matching sword box and a visualization map, and the "Taoist Classics" is a combination of clothing and flying swords?
Chen Tang originally wanted to invite Yan Huandan to go to Panzhou with him, and then ask for advice, but Yan Huandan directly refused. Maybe he really has a lot of things to deal with, and maybe, he may not be able to go, and for a while, it is difficult to find a suitable way to get along with Chen Tang, and he feels very unaccustomed.
A man like the bearded man doesn't speak much, and after being trapped for more than ten years, his temperament must be even more withdrawn.
At that time, Yan Huandan should have been entrusted by Chen's father on his deathbed to take care of the orphans and widows. Helplessly, revenge failed, and an accident occurred, resulting in the inability to fulfill the promise. Now facing Chen Tang, he feels guilty.
Not to mention, the reason why he was able to get out of the Yin Yang Netherworld Tree was because of Chen Tang's nephew to save him.
In this way, it is even more uncomfortable.
Chen Tang is a person who has read "Psychology", and he has discussed and studied this a lot, so he didn't say anything, let Yan Huandan leave alone first, and be quiet.
"Taoist Classics" is the opportunity of the bearded, and Chen Tang's opportunity is "The Book of Good Cultivation". Now Chen Tang's strength is far from Yan Huandan, but it doesn't mean that the "Good Cultivation Sutra" is not good, how long has he been cultivating?
Originally, they were two exercises with different systems and characteristics.
Yan Huandan is a master and a self-patriarch, of course Chen Tang will not be polite, and seize the time to ask him for advice. But after some conversation, I didn't learn much.
About the court, about demons, about evil spirits, in fact, before this, Chen Tang had already learned a lot of information. As for the existence of a higher level, it was originally limited to a very small circle, and even if Yan Huandan, he didn't know about it.
In addition, he has been trapped in the Yin Division for more than ten years!
It is equivalent to sitting in prison for 14 or 5 years, and many changes in the outside world have long been vicissitudes, and even the emperor does not know about his death.
In this regard, Chen Tang can be his "teacher" instead.
All in all, if Yan Huandan was successfully rescued, he had a matter on his mind, and he could easily return home. In Chen Tang's heart, he would not have thought that from now on, he would have a big backer and could run rampant.
From then on, he liked to be on his own.
The driver who drove the car was surnamed "Liu", about fifty years old, and he was a talker—maybe he saw that the one sitting in the car was a tanhualang, so he talked a lot, and when he had the opportunity, he found some topics. The main content is to talk about the fatigue of the post station, as well as the situation of his family, and the children are not angry, and they are not decent people or something.
Anyway, between the words, there is one meaning: I hope to meet a noble person and pull him.
Most of the time, Chen Tang chooses to be an audience. He understood what the coachman meant, but although he was a tanhualang, he didn't have much ability to be a nobleman.
Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as they get famous, they will immediately soar and be proud of the world.
But in fact, fame is just a stepping stone. Bringing the greatest halo effect is related to the name, which appears "virtual". The real test is the career that you embark on after opening the door, which is the real power.
However, the career is treacherous, I don't know how many turmoil, a little careless, will capsize and die.
In the history of the development of human society, the official standard is a system that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and integrated into every drop of blood.
Just ask the world, who doesn't want to be an official?
Many literati are tired of officialdom, but in their bones, they still want to be officials, and to be big officials. Wang Wei is in love with the landscape, but he is not a small official, and the poets and immortals are running around a lot and constantly offering poems, also in order to be able to become an official......
There is a chicken soup, saying that the richer people are, the more they like to say that money is just a number symbol, meaningless.
This kind of chicken soup, if you drink too much, you will die.
Chen Tang's character is not keen on officialdom, but if he has an official, he will not push it back. After all, you have to rely on this to support your official spirit, and the official position itself represents power. He was admitted to Tanhua, and his fame was guaranteed, and he couldn't run away from an official position. But you need to wait for a while, if it goes well, it will be in June or July, and there will be appointments.
In the Yin State, there is a rule for officials to avoid suspicion, not in the local area, but to be sent to other places. In other words, if Chen Tang was an official, he would not have stayed in Panzhou.
He doesn't care about this, changing the environment is exactly what he wants.
There was nothing to say all the way, and at noon on this day, the carriage safely entered Panzhou Mansion and came to Hanmo Street.
As soon as Chen Tang got out of the car, he found that there was a condition.
