"Oh...... Wow......"

A rooster crowing came, Mo Chen slowly opened his eyes, saw that the outside world was already bright, sat up and stretched, the jar of aged thousand days drunk with Zhao Chenghuang last night was really a bit big, although it had little impact on a cultivator like Mo Chen, but after drinking, it was inevitable that he would be a little sleepy, and he didn't wake up until now.

After getting out of bed and washing up briefly, Mo Chen sat on the stone bench under the peach tree, took out a roll of bamboo slips, and looked at it carefully.

......

Shen Bowen talked with Mo Chen for a long time yesterday, and felt that he had gained a lot, and he was about to go to Mingyue Xuan to talk to Mo Chen again, but he was dragged to the City God Temple by his wife, saying that he had a nightmare last night, and he came to worship the City God Lord to drive away evil spirits today. Shen Bowen wanted to talk to Mo Chen, but he couldn't resist his wife, so he had to come to the City God Temple half-pushed, put on the pillar incense, and inadvertently looked up at the solemn golden body of the City God Master, and there seemed to be a thunderous explosion in his mind.

"The old gentleman I saw last night...... ...... hiss" Shen Bowen gasped and froze in place for a while.

Shen Bowen's wife saw her husband stunned in place, pushed Shen Bowen a few times, and called out again and again: "Xianggong, Xianggong......"

"Huh?" Shen Bowen came back to his senses, looked at the puzzled look in his wife's eyes, and the pilgrims who were still waiting in line for incense behind, smiled embarrassedly at everyone, and then pulled his wife out of the City God Temple, standing on the street, Shen Bowen took a few deep breaths to calm the excitement in his heart.

After a while, Shen Bowen said to his wife: "You go back first, madam, I have something to do for my husband, so I won't accompany you." ”

After speaking, he went straight towards Qingyoufang Mingyue Xuan, along the way kept thinking about the appearance of the old man he saw last night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the old man looked the same as the statue of the old man of the city god, and unconsciously, he had already walked to the door of Mingyue Xuan, and just about to knock on the door, there was already a voice inside.

"It's Brother Shen, please come in. ”

Shen Bowen tidied up his clothes, and the original feeling of being a little restrained disappeared the moment he pushed open the courtyard door and entered Mingyue Xuan, seeing the figure sitting on the stone bench as light as yesterday, Shen Bowen smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Mo, I'm here to disturb again." ”

Mo Chen smiled gently, picked up the teapot and poured a new cup of tea, pointed to the stone bench in front of him, and said, "Brother Shen, please take a seat." ”

Shen Bowen sat down with a smile, just like yesterday when he was talking to Mo Chen about gossip.

......

Time flies for three months, and during the three months, Mo Chen occasionally drank tea and listened to books during the day, most of the time was with Shen Bowen, no matter what topic the two were, they could always talk about it together, after three months of getting along, Mo Chen and Shen Bowen both introduced each other as close friends.

Even though Shen Bowen knew that Mo Chen might have something strange, he didn't have any sense of restraint in his heart, Mo Chen gave Shen Bowen special treatment at the beginning because the other party could cause the Heavenly Book to vibrate, and after getting along for three months, he felt that he was quite angry with the other party and was very compatible with himself.

At this time, the two were sitting in the courtyard playing against each other, this was still how to play Go that Mo Chen had just learned two months ago, but fortunately, Shen Bowen did not have a deep study of Go, so the two of them could play back and forth.

Mo Chen held the sunspot, Shen Bowen walked the white child, watching the latter drop the white child, Mo Chen picked up a black seed, pondered for a while, fell to one place, and asked casually: "What does Brother Shen plan to do in the future, continue to teach?"

Shen Bowen took the chess piece's right hand for a moment, then put the chess piece into the chess box, looked at Mo Chen and smiled bitterly, and said: "Mr. Mo, after thinking about it for a long time, I still haven't figured out the way forward, although teaching and educating people is good, but Shen is still a little unwilling to be unable to display his ambitions, and he has become an official in the court. ”

Mo Chen listened to the regret in Shen Bowen's words, smiled slightly, and didn't say much, the two continued to play chess, and only the crisp sound of falling children was left in his ears, but the latter's heart was already chaotic, but in a moment, Mo Chen intercepted and killed the dragon, and the defeat was decided.

Shen Bowen looked at the chessboard on the table, smiled bitterly, and said, "Are you distracted, Mr. Mo, why don't we play another game?"

Mo Chen shook his head and smiled, and said, "Brother Shen's mind is no longer here, and the results of a few more rounds will not change." ”

Shen Bowen sighed when he heard Mo Chen's words, sat on the stone bench and watched the peach blossoms flying in the yard in a daze, and after a long time, he got up and said to Mo Chen: "Mr. Mo, I will retreat first today, and I will talk about it later." ”

Mo Chen smiled, stood up, and said, "Brother Shen, wait a minute." ”

After speaking, he hugged his fist towards the big peach tree and said, "Brother Shu, can you give me two peaches for this friend?"

Shen Bowen looked at Mo Chen's movements, not surprised at all, he had seen a lot of extraordinary things in the past three months, this peach tree should not be ordinary, I remember that when the first spring rain fell this year, he was drinking tea with Mo Chen under the tree, and this big peach tree was able to gather its branches on its own to shelter the two of them from the wind and rain.

After such a long time of growth, the peaches on the big peach tree have all ripened, and a few new fruits have grown again, the branches and leaves of the big peach tree swayed, and two peaches fell, Mo Chen handed the two peaches to Shen Bowen, and said: "Brother Shen, Mo is planning to travel, these two peaches will be given to you, which can be regarded as a resignation gift." ”

Shen Bowen took the two peaches and was silent for a while before saying to Mo Chen, "Where is Mr. Mo going?"

"Looking around, Mo doesn't know where to go. ”

"When are you leaving?"

"Three or five days if it's fast, seven or eight days if it's slow. ”

Shen Bowen was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he said goodbye to Mo Chen and left.

Mo Chen looked at the empty courtyard, patted the body of the big peach tree, and said, "Brother Shu, Mo is out this time, I'm afraid that he won't come back in a short time, this Mingyue Xuan also asks you to take care of it." ”

Then he looked at the two Jinling Phoenix Birds flying towards him, and said, "It is impossible for Mo to take you two little guys with him this time, if you feel bored, Mo will send you back to the mountains and forests." ”

The two Jinling Phoenix birds chirped a few times at him, and flew straight towards the bird's nest in the tree, apparently not wanting to leave the small courtyard.

Mo Chen smiled, turned around and went back to the house, this time he went out to travel, he didn't know how long he was going out, he should make more preparations, the Dingjian Mountain Mingfeng he met during his last trip gave him a map, which had the location of Dingjian Mountain, Mo Chen hesitated whether he wanted to visit the door, thought about it, or let it be.
