Chapter Ninety-One: Ju An
The sword case was originally used to hold swords.
But if the sword is pulled out and gone, there will be only an empty box left.
Since discovering the mystery of this celestial sword box, Chen Tang has always wanted to figure out what kind of treasure this thing belongs to.
However, its structure is mysterious, the material is indestructible, and there is no opening, Chen Tang has picked it up and shaken it many times, there is no movement, and it is empty.
At that time, I thought I would only have an empty box.
It wasn't until the Qi of Heaven and Man completed Zhou Tian and the Qi felt strong that I discovered the clues, and today, I found out that there was a sword inside.
The sword is in it, and it can only be sensed by the qi of heaven and man, so how powerful is this sword?
As far as we know, the biggest function of the sword box is that it can collect evil spirits, but it is not certain whether it will collect all of them, or whether it can only collect some low-level ones.
In addition, the existence of demons like "Guo Peng" is likely to be ineffective.
The box is like this, but what about the sword?
Chen Tang immediately urged his breath, but after several exertions, the sword was dead and sank, and he didn't move.
After tossing for a while, he had to give up and understand that with his current cultivation, it was not enough to control this sword.
It's a bit boring, as if you're hanging your appetite.
However, Chen Tang also understands that you can't become a fat person by eating in one bite, and many things have to be done gradually. It's different from people to cross, all of them are with game console manuals, all of them are data-based, and they will fly away with a few points, and they will be ninety-nine-nine.
Put away the sword case, lock the door, go outside, and plunge into the excitement that belongs to him.
For several days in a row, it was the rhythm of feasting guests and receiving gifts.
Su Ling played the role of a housekeeper and registered many guest gifts one by one.
These are all human favors.
I have to say that there are a lot of favors, which is very irritating. If you have received it, you will return it, and you will be entangled.
Chen Tang finally understood why many scholars wanted to go out to study and play in the mountains and rivers once they gained fame. On the one hand, it is to relax and enjoy the landscape, and on the other hand, it is unwilling to stay at home and face all kinds of human complaints.
Only when you go out can you be quiet.
Su Ling is young and a woman, and she can't do many things. Fortunately, with the help of Wang Fu and others, plus the help of the clansmen, they finally coped with it.
Subsequently, Chen Tang participated in the Luming Banquet held in Zhizhou and met a large number of people, which was equivalent to jumping into another circle.
This circle belongs to the real class of scholars and doctors, and there are many officials.
Zhan Yangchun once said that officials have their own temperament, are domineering, and are in charge of suppression.
That's a very apt statement.
No matter what time and space the officials are, they basically look like this. was originally a kind person, but once he became an official, he put on a new look.
Promoting people's fame is equivalent to the status of an alternate official, although he has not really taken office as an official, but there are also some signs of officialdom.
But the strange thing is that when Chen Tang ran Zhou Tian, he didn't find any abnormalities. He felt that the biggest possibility was that the weak official spirit had been assimilated by the qi of heaven and man.
This is quite surprising.
According to Zhan Yangchun and others, the reason why they focus on acquiring and collecting various works containing literary atmosphere in the Xiucai class is mainly because the literary atmosphere presented in the circle of Xiucai is relatively pure.
Master Hu wholeheartedly found Chen Tang to be a tutor, instead of choosing a higher-level lifter, or even a jinshi, which well corroborates this statement.
When he became an official, he was polluted by the official spirit, and his literary tone became mottled and impure.
This is easy to understand.
Many literati and scholars, once they become officials, worry about various government affairs, and soak themselves in the officialdom, after a long time, they will lose their original intentions and find it difficult to write good works. In the face of officialdom and deceit, they often have to flatter and praise each other, and one by one, they all become smiling tigers, and even become royal literati, only doing green words.
It's not that there is no culture after becoming an official, but that the culture is mixed with impurities, which makes the efficacy attenuated.
Practicing martial arts and cultivating the Tao, why do you need the assistance of Wen Qi to make up for benefits?
The main thing is to nourish the mind.
Those who practice martial arts will be angry, and those who practice the Tao will be prone to demons.
And Wen Wen is warm and compensatory, and is good at neutralization and mediation. Its existence, like salt in cooking, is a seasoning, which can make the dish taste better and increase nutrition.
Of course, Wenqi is not the only choice; there are Taoist scriptures, and you can also choose to eat fasting and recite Buddha, read Buddhist scriptures, and so on.
There is a famous martial arts novel, which is written like this, saying that there are masters who practice martial arts, learn a variety of martial arts skills, and stand alone in the world, but because of this, they have martial arts obstacles, resulting in physical illness, seizures, unbearable pain, and must practice profound Buddhist scriptures to resolve it.
This is a truth.
But no matter what the family, it will not rest on its laurels. As the saying goes, "the stones of other mountains can attack jade", learning from each other's strengths and absorbing the nutrients of other families is an inevitable stage to be carried out after cultivating to a certain realm.
In it, Wenqi plays a lubricating role.
Since ancient times, all martial arts scholars, people who have attained the Tao, have never simply practiced martial arts and Taoism, and in their spare time, they have written and read, recited poems and lyrics, and even discussed monographs, which is quite attainmented.
I only know that those who practice hard and fight and kill will only be reckless.
Having said that, Chen Tang took the exam, but he couldn't sense the official spirit, and he was not affected by anything, which made him have a deeper understanding of the qi of heaven and man. Sure enough, it is worthy of the word "heavenly man", which can override the official spirit and not be bullied.
Successive feasts and all kinds of communication, although dull and boring, are inevitable. There are many things that you have to prepare for the Son of Heaven exam.
The Juzi test is taken once a year, and the Tianzi test is taken once every three years. In case of special exceptions, there will be Enco.
Normally, the next exam will be in the winter season next year.
During this time, the situation in Panzhou was unexpectedly calm and tranquil, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the scholars and doctors drank and had fun, singing and dancing......
It seems that the evil demons that appeared a while ago seem to have disappeared, and they have all been eliminated and killed, and they will never appear again.
But Chen Tang was prepared for danger in peace, and always felt that this was just the calm before the storm, an illusion, once it was punctured, when the next wave of wind and waves swept up, it was bound to be even more violent and dangerous.
Until then, it is the best choice to improve the strength.
At present, all kinds of progress are quite smooth, the test is lifted, the teacher's grudge has been eliminated, there is a true qi foundation, and there is a sword box in the body, and the martial arts practice has a little heat, plus the invisibility charm, etc., has a good self-protection ability, even if it is not defeated, it can get out.
The ancestral house in the village is being built, and there are people in the city who want to give it away, but Chen Tang refuses, preferring to stay on Hanmo Street.
As for the money input, the village people do not have to pay taxes on their fields, and they are not allowed to give Chen Tang a benefit.
However, overall, the income is not high, and there is no problem in maintaining a normal standard of living, but Chen Tang's expenses are already very abnormal, and the income and expenditure are not balanced, so he needs to seek other sources of income.
It is indeed a lot better than Xiucai, but it can't be called how good it is. If you are satisfied with being a squire and a small landlord, marrying a few wives and concubines, usually slipping birds, flirting with maids, you can get by.
But in this abnormal world, such a state of life is not peaceful.
And Chen Tang crossed over, not for the sake of being well-off.
This world is so big, how can you be a rich man in a corner of peace?
I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword and seeing the prosperity of this world. Now that people are here, the sword is there, and dreams are gradually becoming reality.
Time flies, and when the big and small matters are almost done, it is almost a year old.
In the Yin country, the Chinese New Year is the biggest festival, and then it is the turn of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qingming Festival, Chongyang Festival, etc., as for the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not.
The climate is getting colder day by day, and snow is falling.
On this day, Tao Hao came to invite Chen Tang to participate in the Spring Festival Poetry Meeting.
