Xuefu Academy, inside the study house.

The old Confucian was reading the book "Purple Mansion Danxiao Jue".

The scholar came back suddenly, and called out to Mr.

"Why are you back?" The old Confucian yesterday instructed the scholar to follow Liu Puzhi and Shi Zixuan, and was very surprised to hear that the Taoist was going to sell a pound of gold, so he ordered the scholar to keep an eye on it today to see if that Taoist was really Taoist.

It was just after noon, and the scholar returned.

The scholar trotted all the way back, sweating profusely, and gasped a few times before he relieved his breath and said with some excitement: "Wonder!

"What a miracle!" asked the old Confucian student.

The scholar said excitedly: "Sir, the person who came yesterday is really capable. A man came here today, and he really took a bag of gold, and when I saw it, it was all good gold, and it was full of bags. ”

"What? Is there really someone going to measure a word on a scale of gold?" the old Confucian stared wide-eyed and said, "What kind of character did that person measure?

The scholar shook his head and said, "I don't know. I was afraid that I would be discovered by the Liu scholar and the Taoist, so I hid aside, and I could only watch them speak, but I couldn't hear what they said. ”

"Waste!" the old Confucian scolded secretly, and said: "The daughter of the word test, I'm afraid it's the means of this person, the nursery." What kind of miracle?"

The scholar said: "Sir, this is not strange, but the rest of the story is strange." ”

"How?"

"That Dao man, after getting the money, didn't stay for himself, and went all the way to Sian Chay Zhai. As the saying goes, 'the Taoist who is greedy for money is a hypocritical monk', I was curious, is there anyone who doesn't love money? So I went to ask the fourth brother Xu of the Bai family, and he told me that this Taoist was really here to send money, and the Bai family's steward did not dare to collect the donation, so the Taoist said that he used gold to fold the equivalent of clothing and grain. ”

The scholar paused, and then said, "I don't believe it, just wait there." Sir, guess what? The Taoist and the scholar actually brought clothes and food. I counted, good fellow, there were nine cars loaded, and they were all full. ”

The old Confucian was really shocked, and said secretly: "Is there really a Taoist who doesn't love money?"

Unbelievable, the old Confucian thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but think: "Could this person really be a pure cultivator? Yes, only this kind of person will not take money seriously." ”

As soon as he thought of this, the old Confucian couldn't help but feel hot and said, "Let's go." Take me to the man. ”

This old Confucian, seeing that the opportunity had come, also lost his demeanor, and pulled the scholar to ask him to lead the way.

The scholar looked at the old Confucian in surprise and said, "Sir, I can't go." ”

The old Confucian said eagerly: "Why can't you go?"

The scholar said: "The Taoist said, only one word a day is measured, those who are destined to come, and those who are not destined to leave." It's bluffing. ”

The old Confucian said secretly: "You yellow-haired child, how do you know that a master acts? This is the method of marriage, if you don't know a real person, how can you get a chance?"

As soon as this scholar said, the old Confucian calmed down and said secretly: "The actions of the masters are unpredictable. If I go to the house of the scholar to ask for advice, I will fall behind. ”

After settling down, the old Confucian said, "Wait for tomorrow, I'll go with you to see you." ”

The scholar was curious: "Sir, do you want to test the word too?"

The old Confucian stared: "Why do you ask so much?"

The next day, the old man got up early in the morning, and the scholar took him all the way to the market.

Who knew that when I arrived at the place where the market set up a stall to measure words yesterday, I didn't see the Taoist and the scholar.

After waiting for a long time, the Taoist and the scholar came together, set up a stall, and hung up a signboard.

The old Confucian took a deep breath and was about to step forward to get married, but he had just taken a step, and out of nowhere, many people rushed to Hula.

I saw that among these people, there were three or two people with ten thousand dollars in their waists, and five or six people with gold spoons in their mouths, all of whom were vulgar money customers, and they only asked for money in exchange for good words.

The old Confucian was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and said in his heart: "These vulgar people, how do you know that the people in front of you are superior! It's just a matter of polluting the eyes of real people with these vulgar things, why spoil my chance!"

This old Confucian was anxious, but he didn't know that Shi Zixuan knew that he was beside him.

"Those who wish to take the bait, but today is waiting. Shi Zixuan's heart was settled, and he said secretly: "At this time, he is not in a hurry." ”

On the side, Liu Shusheng was a little dumbfounded when he saw these people asking for words, and asked blankly: "You are all here to test words?"

These people are all wealthy high-rollers in the family, and they may not be able to afford this scholar on weekdays. But for the sake of Shi Zixuan, a "master", he was very polite and said, "This scholar, please." We're all here today to ask for words. ”

Liu Pu said straightforwardly: "You are all asking for words? ”

After listening to the scholar's words, a wealthy merchant smiled and said, "Scholar, don't you hear Chrysostom's good words? The drama of the teahouse, even if you sing dry, is just a copper plate reward. ”

This caused a chuckle, and another rich merchant nodded, "That's it." This Taoist is a Taoist and a true cultivator. If you can get the guidance of the Taoist, what is a weighing of gold? I can afford to pay a thousand gold. ”

A young man in a brocade robe said: "Fu Lao Wu, you are a Jianghu man who runs a boat, what kind of high-roller are you pretending?

This son arched his hand to Shizi Xuan and said, "Dao Chief, I am from Yunshan County, and I have come here to visit relatives. Yesterday, I heard that the Taoist chief Qianjin interpreted the words, and bought clothes and food with the word gold, and sent all of them to the good house, and I was very impressed. If the Taoist chief is willing, I am willing to go to Yunshan County to build a Taoist temple and support the Taoist chief. ”

This boy is really wealthy, what is the meaning of interpreting words? It is to pack up the whole person of Shi Zixuan.

Liu Puzhi was dizzy, he really couldn't figure out if these people were crazy, or if they had money and no place to spend it, they really didn't treat money as money.

Don't you know: money can make the ghost push the grind, but it can't make the grind push the ghost. If you can solve all difficulties with money, how can you ask God to worship Buddha and immortals.

These high-rollers are quietly complimenting Shi Zixuan, fighting for that word of opportunity. Suddenly, a cold shout came from behind him: "Get out of the way!", I saw two poor people, hanging waist cards, pushing and walking in, and asked coldly: "Who is here to measure words?"

Shi Zixuan frowned, and said secretly: "Why do you have extraneous branches?" silently calculated, couldn't help but suddenly realize, and secretly sneered: "I don't want you to trouble, but I came to provoke me, I really can't be fooled?"

He stood up, bowed, and said, "Who are you, and what advice do you have?"

The leading messenger looked Shi Zixuan up and down, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "You are the fake Taoist priest? You cheated people out of money, and the owner of the matter has gone to the yamen to denounce it." You've made a mistake, come with us to the yamen!"

As soon as the voice falls, you have to take someone!

"Stop! The Taoist chief is a true moral person, how can he be a liar? Don't talk nonsense, you need evidence to take people!" Liu Pu was anxious and hurriedly stopped him.

The poor man said coldly: "Scholar, you dare to stop it, are you also an accomplice?"

Liu Puzhi said angrily: "What is the complicity? Rebellion or murder? Dao Chang got the money, and without taking a penny, he directly sent it to Sian Chay Zhai and made a donation. This is a great good deed for doing good and accumulating virtue, and I am an accomplice, so what?"

The poor man haha smiled: "You pedantic scholar, how can you not know that 'it is difficult to draw a cat and a tiger, and it is difficult to draw bones, and you know people and faces but do not know your heart'." Let me tell you, this person is a false Taoist priest, what kind of Taoism can he do, and what kind of kindness can he have? If you don't believe it, go to the public gate and check to see if there is any such Taoist person on the register!"

Liu Pu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought that when he entered the city that day, Shi Zixuan's degree did not have the official seal, so he was still blocked.

Seeing that this scholar was silent, the messenger also said that he was speechless, pointed at Shi Zixuan, and said to everyone: "You all keep your eyes open, don't be deceived, this person is not a true Taoist, and he is cheating money here." What you did yesterday was all a means of the rivers and lakes, and it was precisely the intention to get away with it. Don't be fooled!"

As soon as this messenger said this, these scrambling high rollers all looked at each other and hesitated for a while.

Suddenly, Shi Zixuan stood up, laughed, and pointed at the messenger: "You say that I am a false Taoist, it's really ridiculous." This Taoist priest, in the Tao, is a Taoist, how can he use a piece of paper? Not to mention this, I will say that your intentions are not pure, I am afraid that because I sold a weight of gold with one word, some people are red-eyed, and I want to make a fuss about this, how can I not know!"

"I don't understand what you're talking nonsense!" the messenger sneered, but his psychology was secretly surprised: "This person knows a lot." ”

Liu Puzhi listened to Shi Zixuan's words, and also reacted, and said angrily: "I understand!

Yesterday, I heard the old man who sold books talk about the cat in the cloud, this scholar was already indignant, and today I saw the thief shouting to catch the thief, and the book business was angry, where can I bear it?

I saw this scholar suddenly pull over the chair, stand up, and say loudly: "Everyone, listen to me." You all go to Nayun on weekdays to worship God, worship incense and plant blessings, and all the money used to repair temples and do good deeds, most of which was squandered by those Taoists themselves. ”

This scholar, in anger, said all the words he heard, because he was angry in his heart, and filled in some materials for the original words, which made people feel even more unbelievable and angry from their hearts.

"Offering incense on weekdays is just that the more money you give, the more blessings you have. Listening to this scholar, this is all a lie, it is the nonsense of the master, so what am I doing with so much money? Who is this incense money honored?"

The high-rollers were in an uproar, and not only they, but even the ordinary people who passed by felt that they had been deceived and began to talk about it.

Shi Zixuan's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "Liu Shusheng, don't say it." Just click on everything!"

Liu Puzhi was immersed in a kind of shijie where everyone was drunk and I was sober, how could he pay attention to it, and said: "Dao Chang and rest assured, leave this matter to me." ”

As soon as the words fell, he faced the two uncomfortable poor people again, and said in a fierce voice: "The Taoist chief measured the words here yesterday and took the good money, and you will find it today." Didn't the Taoist master rob the business of the Daoist who came to the clouds, so he colluded with the officials and did not succeed in committing a trumped-up crime?"

Not only were these two poor people questioned, but even Shi Zixuan was stunned, and said secretly: "This scholar is usually dull and not good at words, how can he seem to be a different person today?"

The messenger became angry and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of rumors and troubles are you talking about here, what kind of collusion? I think you are speculating on your own! I will take you to the yamen first, and see how you quibble." ”

This poor person, no matter what sharp your teeth and sharp mouth, you will directly take people.

There is a way to show talent yujian soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say.

How can these poor people have clean hands and be stupid enough to reason with you?

Liu Pu was upright and tearing up with the messenger, and suddenly heard a person shouting coldly: "Stop!"

A big hand stretched out in the air, and in a flash of lightning, grabbed the arm of the poor man.

The messenger was startled, and he was about to draw a knife from his waist when he saw a person bullied behind him, and said coldly: "Don't be impulsive, otherwise don't blame me for making you unable to get off the stage." ”

The messenger didn't dare to struggle, and listened to this person: "This Taoist is not a fake Taoist, he is a guest invited by my young lady, but he has not yet gone to the yamen to seal it, and he is not a villain." ”

The messenger calmed down and asked, "Who are you, do you dare to vouch?"

I heard a nice female voice coming: "I can vouch!"

Shi Zixuan looked at it, and saw a woman in a yellow shirt and white dress, standing in front of people, with a wisp of sorrow between her eyebrows.
