Chapter 106: Literal Thunder
The life of a mortal is like a bowl of water, with a hint of ups and downs, and every day will make Chen Changsheng a little more popular.
Many times, he will deliberately forget the lost future, no matter if he has those memories, he actually likes the life he has now.
Every morning, he would get up early, open the door of the shop, and then sit quietly or lie down in the shop, occasionally writing a couplet or two when he was in the mood.
And since the old man Xie An bought a pair of couplets from him, his shop seems to have begun to flourish, of course, this red fire compared to the previous months can not sell a set of couplets, and now, within a few days, it is possible to sell a pair, but the price of his couplet, as if everyone knows, fancy that pair, you can take it directly, leaving an ingot of ten taels of silver.
In the face of silver, even if Chen Changsheng is more popular, he doesn't care at all, and he doesn't know why, the silver that others cherish is really useless in his opinion, so he casually throws it into a box in the store, and he usually doesn't count or look at it.
And as time passed, the neighbors of the surrounding shops gradually learned that the owner of the shop here was a down-and-out rich son, and he also had a lot of good feelings for Chen Changsheng, a young man who had very few words and a hint of power in his quietness.
In the blink of an eye, it was a year, because the county gentleman greatly appreciated Chen Changsheng's calligraphy, which not only drove the rich people in Yunmeng Town to follow suit, but gradually this fame even spread to several nearby towns, and therefore, there were more people who came to Chen Changsheng's shop to buy words.
This year, Chen Changsheng gradually immersed himself in the fun of writing, of course, this fun is not to say that the words are getting better and better, but he found that he can put his joys, angers, sorrows, sorrows, etc., as long as he has emotions, can be turned into a kind of his own thoughts, such as when he writes with sad thoughts, even if he writes happy words, but looks at it and gives people the feeling that this should not be a happy word, but should be a sad word.
This wonderful feeling made him immerse himself in it, and gradually found the happiness that belonged to him.
In his small shop, the words written in the early days have long been sold out, and now they are densely hung with Chen Changsheng's pen and mind.
At this time, the little white fox's little paws were grinding the ink hard, Chen Changsheng was spreading out a long roll of paper, taking a deep breath, but what he was thinking about was not what paper to write, but the people he had seen and heard in this year, among them were happy, sad, happy and sad, crying, laughing, and so on, when countless faces full of emotions were frozen in his mind, his hand also moved.
The brush quickly dipped in the inkstone, and the pen was like a dragon, and one word after another appeared on the white paper like a fairy.
"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire. ”
Wrote down these seven words, when Chen Changsheng put away the pen, he saw that his shop was full of people, the first one was an old man dressed as a rich man, and there were countless people around the old man who were around him like the stars holding the moon, including Xie Dashi's third uncle Xie An, whom Chen Changsheng knew, and they looked at the words written by Chen Changsheng one by one, and their eyes were full of admiration.
"Good word. After the old man who was surrounded by the stars holding the moon praised a sentence, he pointed to the words on it and said, "I am happy when I see joy, angry and indignant, sad and sad, just one word, can affect the old man's joy, anger and sorrow, I have always seen everyone, never like this, no wonder, the calligraphy of immortality is spiritual, even if it is to subdue demons and subdue demons, there are such gods under the rule of this official, this official must report to the court, and recommend gods and men for my Great Zhou." ”
"Changsheng!" Xie An looked at Chen Changsheng eagerly and said, "This is Lord Sima Jing, my parent official in Yunmeng Town, who has come to see you today." ”
Chen Changsheng looked at Xie An, and when he looked at Sima Jing, the county monarch in Xie An's mouth, he reacted a little flatly: "Lord Sima Jing is good." ”
Seeing that Chen Changsheng was still so indifferent when he saw the county gentleman, Xie An explained to Sima Jing a little anxiously: "County gentleman, Changsheng has always been cold talking, and he didn't mean to be like this to adults. ”
"Haha!" Sima Jing laughed out loud and said, "How can the old man not know, who doesn't know that there is a son in this place who is unparalleled in the world within a radius of Yunmeng Town, and his temperament is a little cold, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, how can the old man be the kind of indiscriminate person." ”
Xie An looked at Chen Changsheng's somewhat puzzled look, and hurriedly explained in a low voice: " Changsheng, you're afraid you don't know, some time ago, the county gentleman originally planned to send the couplet you wrote to his teacher in Beijing to appreciate, therefore, a few days ago, the county gentleman let one of his sons and nephews take the couplet to Beijing Division, but the nephew was greedy for beautiful scenery on the road, missed the county seat, and had to sleep in the open with a wild broken temple, nothing happened at night, the county gentleman's son and nephew took out the couplet to appreciate, who knows, there are several ghosts hiding here in this broken temple, on weekdays, specializing in sucking lonely pedestrians, the ghost appeared that night, and wanted to suck the county gentleman's nephew and his entourage, where do you know, when your couplet flew in the air, thunder shook loudly, and countless thunderbolts were sent out from the couplet, and killed those ghosts. ”
Even if the crowd around had heard this story countless times, they couldn't help but be amazed to hear it again at this time.
This should be a very magical thing for any mortal, but Chen Changsheng didn't know why, he just felt that it was a matter of course, which made him fall into deep thought, why did he take it for granted, could it be that after writing a few words, it was not a strange thing to kill ghosts with thunder in the words, why did he feel that it was not strange at all.
"Immortal nephew. Sima Jing didn't know when he had come to Chen Changsheng's side, took his hand, and said cordially, "At this time, I will quickly pass on the letter to the teacher, my teacher is Lord Zhou Lan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the teacher will definitely play in the imperial court at that time, and the immortal nephew may have the opportunity to meet my Great Zhou Holy Emperor." ”
Chen Changsheng nodded, although he was not at all interested in meeting the Great Zhou Holy Emperor, he really didn't want to argue with these people about anything here.
"Hehe, Changsheng, look, or you can write the same couplet to this official again. Sima Jing said a little embarrassed, "After all, you see, this kind of thing is too magical, and the old man is afraid that his teacher will not believe it, if there is another pair of the same couplet, it will be great, do you think it is okay?"
Chen Changsheng said casually: "Okay, ten taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone around couldn't help but be stunned, and even asked the county lord for money, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this little brother really doesn't understand the world.
Sima Jing couldn't help but be stunned, you must know that the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is vast, and the imperial court is naturally unable to manage everything, and therefore, even a small county monarch is also called Baili Hou, and he is killed and taken within his jurisdiction, who dares not to give him face.
However, Sima Jing looked at Chen Changsheng's strange and indifferent expression, and knew that people didn't mean to embarrass him, and he was not a narrow-minded person, so he couldn't help laughing, patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder and said, "Naturally, ten taels of pen fee, this official will give it." ”
As he spoke, Sima Jing took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and put it on the table, and Chen Changsheng also took it casually and threw it into the box at his feet.
At this time, everyone also found that the box at his feet was full of silver that could not be put down, and seeing that he did not pay attention to it so much, they couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that strange people have their own strange tempers.
Xie Xiaoyan, who had changed his name to Baili, was mixed in the crowd at this time, looking at the frame of silver blankly, he was not envious of the silver, he just didn't expect to ask Brother Changsheng to write a few words, even the county monarch had to pay, gradually, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered to himself: "It's incredible, there are ten taels of silver for just a few words, and I asked for the county king's money, and the county monarch is not angry, if I can learn the calligraphy of the elder brother of Changsheng, then wouldn't I be able to go anywhere in the world." ”
After muttering to himself, Xie Baili made up his mind that he must practice harder, whether it is ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years, as long as he can reach the level of the eldest brother of immortality, he will be considered famous in this life.
At this time, where did he think that although his eldest brother's handwriting was good, it would not allow a county monarch to personally report to his teacher, let his teacher report to the imperial court, and came here on foot, just to see Chen Changsheng.
If it weren't for the fact that he could turn words into thunder, killing ghosts like killing chickens, and shocking like this, how could he make a fuss about a county monarch, and how could he shake the entire radius of thousands of miles, and even, I'm afraid that after a while, even the Jingshi would be shaken.
On this day, the guests were so enthusiastic that they waited until the moon went up to the west building, and then they reluctantly left.
And all the calligraphy couplets in Chen Changsheng's shop were sold out, and the silver was piled up in the front room of the store.
"Huh......"
Suddenly, Chen Changsheng patted his head, how could he forget, the bag on his waist looked small, and the space inside was very large, thinking of this, he also thought of the things in the bag.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but take off the brocade bag, and poured it down on the ground.
"Bang bang bang...... Dadada......"
For a while, a lot of things fell out of the bag.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, and I saw the little white fox holding a porcelain bottle in his mouth, like a white light, running away.
"Silk ......"
Sure enough, Chen Changsheng knew with his eyes closed that the little green snake was definitely not far behind, and when he thought about it, he was afraid that another porcelain vase would be gone.
Sometimes Chen Changsheng is also curious, this little white fox Yingying and the little green snake Sisi, most of the time they eat and sleep with him, but they often disappear for a few days a month, at the beginning, he also looked for it, and then he was too lazy to look for it, as for whether they would be caught, Chen Changsheng didn't have the heart to think about it.
Now these two little guys have snatched the porcelain vase, and I am afraid that they will disappear for a few more days.
