Chapter 116: A Visit to the City God
Looking at these scholars whose smiles froze, Li Xiuyuan sighed in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, he doesn't want to, his literary talent is indeed limited, and his ability to write poetry is weak, not as good as those really talented scholars.
But these people are so urgent, one looks mediocre, the other says to himself that he has been in Hedong for thirty years and in Hexi for thirty years, and the other seems to have something to do with Qingmei.
The three of them seemed to be eager to stomp themselves under their feet and insult them once.
There's no way but to come up with a trick.
In other words, I relied on my ability to cross over, so why not plagiarize?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan felt justified again.
Seeing that everyone's faces were stiff and silent, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this Shanglian too difficult?" Do you want to change to a simpler one, I have another simple one here, how about the Heavenly King and the Earth Tiger?"
"......" the corners of everyone's mouths twitched but they were still silent.
"Do you know how many ways to write Hui Zi?"
"......" the crowd remained silent.
"Hey, since you don't speak, then I'll take my leave. ”
In the end, it was really boring, and Li Xiuyuan also knew that these people were afraid of offending, so he didn't sit here to attend any party, so as not to make himself uncomfortable, and find a reason to leave with Fluttershy and Du Chunhua.
As soon as he walked on his front feet, a voice came: "I hate this kind of person who is different from the outside the most in my life, obviously mediocre in appearance, but there are strange talents, where did he find a pair of absolute to entertain us, and return the king of heaven and earth, vulgar." ”
"By the way, there are several ways to write the word back, he's scolding me for not even knowing the word, and there is only one way to write the word back. ”
"No, it's two. ”
"How do I remember that there are three. ”
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan, who had not yet walked out of Jibaozhai, shook his head slightly, feeling that it was better for him to stay away from scholars in the future, so as not to be contaminated with the strange temper of these scholars.
"Thank you for taking care of the store, Xiaosheng will come here tomorrow to copy books. At this time, Ning Caichen was sent out by the store, and it seems that he has already negotiated and is sure to copy the book here.
"Guorong, no, Ning Caichen, are you done?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Ning Caichen gave a salute and said, "Yes, Xiaosheng was taken care of by the store, copied books here, and saw Li Gongzi again, and there are still things to do in his later life, so he won't stay here for a long time, and he will leave." ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't say anything.
Now is not the time to intersect with Ning Caichen.
After buying some paper and books, he leaves with Fluttershy and Du Chunhua.
When he was about to return home, on the way, he saw three or five scholars returning late together, these scholars were disheveled, their bodies were dissolute, their steps were frivolous, and their faces were full of joy and satisfaction.
"It's Zhu Yu, them. Li Xiuyuan paused in his footsteps.
Looking at it like this, Zhu Yu and his party have only come back from outside the city now.
And the pace is vain and weak, and the clothes are messy, which is estimated to have met some glamorous ghosts in the ghost market yesterday and were entangled all night, and they replenished their yang energy.
"Which ghost is right, although these scholars have no worries about their lives, it is inevitable that they will lose some yang energy. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.
However, these scholars are full of spring breeze, and I am afraid that they are willing to be sucked by the ghosts, and they are very happy.
"Yesterday was really a blessing, that Qian girl, admired my poems, and my spring breeze once, it was really unforgettable, before leaving I also sent me an embroidered shoe, as a souvenir, I can't live up to the beauty of this money girl. ”
"Yes, my Miss Zhao is not. ”
"In that case, why don't we go to the market tonight? ”
"That's a good point. ”
Zhu Yu and several other scholars walked as they walked, with a bit of aftertaste on their expressions, as if they were all infatuated with the figure of the beautiful woman last night.
I was fascinated by it, and I didn't know it even when I passed by Li Xiuyuan.
"I'm just fascinated by a female ghost. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard their conversation.
He wanted to stop them from going to that ghost market, but when he saw these people looking proud, he couldn't help but stop talking.
"Let's see if they will come to their senses on their own, lest I be a bad person again, and it would be best if they could wake up, and they would be able to abide by this lesson in the future, and if I tried to dissuade them at this time, it would probably be boring. Li Xiuyuan thought in his heart.
Although there is a harm of ghosts, it is not big, it is to squeeze your yang energy.
It's a pleasure for those who are addicted to it, and it takes a while to taste the consequences only when you are deficient in yang energy, sick in bed, and unable to rejoice, and this takes a while.
So Li Xiuyuan didn't rush to remind.
But he felt that since these people were all scholars, they should understand how there could be a market between the mountains and fields, and how could there be young and beautiful women in their arms.
If they can't even wake up to this, they should suffer this calamity.
After returning to the house.
Li Xiuyuan reviewed the books that he was not familiar with before, and after practicing his words for a while, he stopped the ink pen in his hand when he saw that it was getting late.
"Chunhua, Fluttershy, you two will rest today, don't wait for me, I'll be out later, and I'll probably be back late." ”
"Where are you going, young master? I haven't eaten dinner yet. Du Chunhua greeted him and said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I have a little personal matter to go to the City God Temple, so let's eat it when I come back for dinner." ”
"Fluttershy, go buy me some incense. ”
Fluttershy responds and quickly leaves the door.
After some preparations, Li Xiuyuan went out at night and walked towards the City God Temple.
According to the normal time, the temple has closed its doors at this time.
When Li Xiuyuan came, he saw that the temple of the City God Temple was already waiting here, and it was an old man.
"May I ask Li Xiuyuan, Li Gongzi?" said Lao Miaozhu.
"Exactly. Li Xiuyuan nodded: "The old man knows me?"
Lao Miaozhu said with a smile: "Lord Chenghuang is just looking for someone to call me, saying that a distinguished guest named Li Xiuyuan will come today, let me not close the temple door, and now I see Gongzi walking alone to Chenghuang Temple, it must be Li Xiuyuan, Li Gongzi said by Lord Chenghuang." ”
"I see. Li Xiuyuan nodded.
This is a god who is three feet above his head, and it is true.
I already knew it before I came to Chenghuang.
It seems that Chenghuang is very concerned about his every move, after all, his whereabouts Chenghuang can't calculate.
"Master Li, please come here, Lord Chenghuang has been waiting in the temple for a long time. Lao Miaozhu said.
"I'm tired. Li Xiuyuan nodded.
As soon as he entered the temple, he smelled a strong smell of incense permeating the temple, which was extremely pure, without a hint of paper ash.
Such a thick incense is indeed something that only a serious god can have.
Facing the smell of incense, Li Xiuyuan walked all the way, and after a while, he saw a middle-aged man in a vermilion official uniform standing in front of the main hall of the City God Temple, looking at himself with a smile on his face.
It's Chenghuang~!
Li Xiuyuan's heart froze, but he saw that this city god's body was solid, like a living person, without the slightest sense of etherealness, if it weren't for this person and the statue in the city god temple, he really thought that an official was standing here.
However, the city god is still different from ordinary people in the end, and the candle flame near it shines and falls on the city god's body, but there is no human figure in sight.
