Chapter 55: Returning Home after Finishing the Work
Lu Province.
For three days in a row, the sound of firecrackers was endless, but Chen Yuan sat in the room by himself, meditating and cultivating.
In the past three days, Chen Yuan had consumed all the Qi and Blood Pills in order to speed up the progress of his cultivation, and to this day, the strength of his Yuan Qi had reached the point of the second level of Qi training.
As long as you have patience and are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to cultivate successfully, and the next three layers, each layer is a watershed, the more you cultivate to the back, the more you cultivate to the back, the more vitality in your body increases, and its muscles and bones are also slowly changing.
When it comes to the consummation of the last five qi dynasties, it is a foot of essence and spirit, the skin and flesh are full of yuan, and there is great power in every gesture, and when it comes to this realm, except for some vulnerable parts of the human body such as the navel and lower armpits, the others are like iron and stone, and the sword is difficult to hurt.
Now that Chen Yuan has cultivated to the second level of Qi refining, he is one step closer to that realm!
Slowly deflating in his mouth, Chen Yuan's eyes opened, and his whole body couldn't help but stir, and then he got up and released a fireball from between his fingers, and its firelight jumped, more agile than before.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan's face couldn't help but be happy, and just as he wanted to try it again, a noisy sound came from outside the house.
"You stinky boy, you actually gave all the money to a girl, you really think of it as a loser, see if I can't kill you!"
"Master spares my life!"
Hearing the voices of Zhao Shengyou's master and apprentice, Chen Yuan was a little puzzled, so he stopped what he was doing and pushed the door out, only to see that Zhao Shengyou was holding a broom and hitting Na Moli's ass!
Smack!
Mo Li was beaten and begged for mercy, and when he saw Chen Yuan coming out, he hurriedly hid behind him, and shouted urgently,
"Daochang Chen, save me!"
Seeing that Zhao Shengyou was hit with a broom again, Chen Yuan frowned, stopped him easily, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Daoyou, why are you here?"
Who knew that by Chen Yuan's question, the anger on the old Dao's face turned into grief, and he complained to Chen Yuan: "Chen Daoyou, you don't know, this bastard stole money to give it to a girl!"
After that, the old man's face wrinkled, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be about to shed tears, and he immediately told Chen Yuan everything about it.
It turned out that after the banquet that day, Zhao Shengyou hurriedly received hundreds of taels of silver from Lu Yuanwai, and even with Mo Li's share, it was hidden in the bookcase together, Zhao Shengyou warned Mo Li to take good care of his belongings, and Mo Li, who had not touched the money, was naturally ecstatic, and he did not leave the bookbox at the moment, and he also accompanied the bookbox on his back when he went in and out.
Who knows that one day Zhao Shengyou took his apprentices to the bazaar to buy money, and found that there was a girl with a white belt who sold herself to bury her parents, seeing this scene, Zhao Shengyou didn't have anything, he hadn't seen hundreds of times since he saw this kind of thing, and he had dozens of times, all of them were immortals jumping, deceiving, but Mo Li was young, the world was insufficient, and when he saw that the girl was pitiful, he begged the master immediately.
can spend money, especially the obvious intention to give a liar, which makes Zhao Shengyou willing to do it, and immediately pulled Mo Li's sleeve angrily and pulled him home.
Originally, Zhao Shengyou thought that Na Mo Li would be a pastime after making a fuss for a while, but this morning he came to count the silver in the bookcase, but it was exactly one hundred taels less, and Na Mo Li was nowhere to be seen, and the shrewd Zhao Shengyou knew the cause and effect at once, and suddenly put on a face in frustration and waited at the door with a broom.
Sure enough, but after a while, Na Mo Li blew the whistle, jumped two or three by one, and appeared on the street, seeing that his mood was quite good, which made the already indignant old man angry all of a sudden, and picking up the broom was a chase, so there was this scene that Chen Yuan saw.
Chen Yuan has always been disdainful of money, and this Mo Li fled to his own place, obviously wanting to ask for help from himself, although Chen Yuan didn't like this form of asking for help, but he still waved his hand helplessly, and said to Zhao Shengyou,
"Zhao Daoyou, forget it. ”
As soon as Zhao Shengyou heard this, he saw the apprentice laughing behind Chen Yuan, and immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, and said sadly: "Chen Daoyou, it's not that I feel heartache for the hundred taels of silver, if it is a good deed, it will be forgotten, but this bastard is really ignorant, and he gave it to a female liar, this ......"
"If you are not a female liar, you just can't bear the one hundred taels of silver!"
"You!" Seeing Mo Li's rebuttal, Zhao Shengyou stretched out one hand and wanted to hit Mo Li in the face, but then he sighed and put his hand down.
Mo Li saw that the master was going to beat herself, so she shrank her head, leaned a little behind Chen Yuan, and said weakly: "If it is said that her parents committed suicide, in order to repay the debt and bury her parents, she came out to sell herself, and besides, she said that after she finishes dealing with her parents' affairs, she will come to my ......."
"Looking for you, didn't you kid fall in love with that girl?" Zhao Shengyou heard this, and his heart was anxious, how could that girl come back once she went?
Chen Yuan also had a rough idea in his heart at this time, and when he saw that Mo Li was dodging, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhao Daoyou, money is something outside the body, it's better to let it go!"
"Yes, Chen Daoyou is right!" Zhao Shengyou saw Chen Yuan's words, so he had no choice but to respond, but his eyes were still fierce.
"Okay, okay" Chen Yuanyi waved his hand, wanting to say a few more words, but Lu Yuanwai stepped in from outside the courtyard, leading a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl from behind him, and exclaimed, "Immortal Master Chen, are you out?"
"Look, if it comes, Master, I'll say she's not a female liar!" Mo Li saw the girl, and immediately came out from behind Chen Yuan, and hurriedly ran to that side, Zhao Sheng couldn't stop it.
Chen Yuan also followed the sound and looked, only to see a girl dressed in linen and filial piety standing at the entrance of the courtyard, her low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, her shape was delicate and frail, and she was born with a pitiful appearance. When the latter saw Mo Li coming, he saluted and said softly, "Thank you to Engong, if you have already dealt with the family affairs, you will go with Engong in the future." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you can go wherever you want, you don't have to follow me!" Mo Li heard this, but he smiled shyly, touched his head, and looked at the girl in front of him stupidly.
"How can this be, is Engong dissatisfied with Ruoguo?" As soon as the words fell, Ruoguo knelt down and wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was about to shed tears.
"No, that's not what I meant!"
In this way, Mo Li hurriedly stepped forward, facing the crying girl, he was flustered and at a loss, no matter how he said it, it was useless, and he hurriedly looked at Chen Yuan.
"This bastard boy will cause trouble for me!" Zhao Shengyou scolded, seeing that the girl returned, he didn't look like a little liar, his heart softened, and his anger was reduced by three points.
Although it is angry, Zhao Shengyou doesn't plan to accept another maid or anything by his side, now that his master and apprentice are too busy to take care of themselves, they can't eat enough, where is the time to accept a girl?
Thinking like this, Zhao Shengyou also seemed to look at Chen Yuan helplessly, "...... Chen Daoyou, you see how this should be!"
"Immortal Master Chen, I just saw a girl come to the door and said that she was looking for a kid named Mo Li, and as soon as I thought about it, I got it here, didn't I cause you any trouble, right?" Lu Yuanwai was naturally confused, but when he saw Chen Yuanluo nodded, his heart was relieved, so he retreated.
"You get up, let me ask you, what are you calling for, what did your parents do to kill themselves?" Chen Yuan saw that Na Ruoguo was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help coughing and asked him.
If you listen to the voice, you look up and see a long question to yourself, although her clothes are simple, but there is a momentum in her words, she stopped her tears at the moment, she didn't dare to keep it, and said it in 1510, "The little woman called Ruoguo, and her parents hanged themselves because they owed gambling debts and couldn'...... them."
Chen Yuan saw that this Ruoguo was articulate, fluent in words, and consistent in the preface, so he also nodded, thinking that now there are only Liu Ma and a few people in his family to do things, and there are very few people, and many things are too busy.
"Zhao Daoyou, I think so, take this maid to my Chen Mansion, okay?"
These words fell in Mo Li's ears, Zhao Shengyou hadn't spoken, but Mo Li's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "That's right, there are not many people in such a big mansion in Daochang Chen's family, if he goes, he will definitely be able to arrange it properly!"
"That'...... Okay, I'll trouble Chen Daoyou!" Zhao Shengyou was dumbfounded, and had to salute Chen Yuan.
"Ruoguo, let me tell you, this is Daochang Chen, but he is amazing, such a big dragon, Daochang Chen said that he would be killed......" Mo Li gestured, and said with his eyebrows fluttering, and the latter Ruoguo heard this, he also secretly looked at Chen Yuan, lowered his head from time to time, and did not dare to look.
After the discussion fell, Chen Yuan and Zhao Shengyou resigned from the Lu Mansion, and Lu Yuanwai saw that Chen Xianshi was leaving, so he said that he would stay for a few more days, and seeing that the latter was resolute, he finally had no choice but to leave and gave thousands of taels of silver tickets as a reward.
Now that Chen Yuan's family is short of money, he naturally smiled at the silver sent to the door, and said goodbye to that Yanming again, Ling'er behind the latter saw Mo Li surrounding Ruoguo like a fart, and immediately snorted and made a grimace and mocked.
Zhao Shengyou originally planned to say goodbye to Chen Yuan, go to find a feng shui treasure land, and open a fortune-telling parlor, but he couldn't grind Mo Li's request, so he had no choice but to go back with Chen Yuan, thinking of this, Zhao Shengyou secretly said in Chen Yuan's ear,
"Chen Daoyou, I think this kid is evil, and he surrounds a girl all day long, let me go the old way in the future, and I hope Chen Daoyou will persuade him!"
When Chen Yuan heard this, he also turned his head to look at Mo Li, and when he saw that he looked stupid, he sighed secretly in his heart, this Mo Li was eleven or twelve years old, and it was the time when the love was first opened, and he had always been dedicated to the Tao, and there was no good way to deal with this matter.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Yuan touched his nose and said awkwardly,
"Zhao Daoyou, since this Mo Li has not yet entered the Tao, there are no sect rules, I don't think this matter will be fulfilled?"
