Chapter 18: Three out of five

When Fu Nanhua walked out of the house, he found the delicate and delicate maid sitting on a small bench in the yard, holding a handful of corn in her hand and feeding the chickens. The old hen was leading a group of yellow and fluffy chickens. Lower your head and peck.

After seeing her, Fu Nanhua smiled slightly. The girl didn't know whether it was because of her shy personality or her natural indifference. She twitched her lips and took it as a return gift.

After Fu Nanhua opened the courtyard door, he found that Cai Jinjian was waiting in the alley. He was not very interested. He turned around and closed the door. Through the gradually narrowing crack in the door, he saw a picture of someone looking up at him. In terms of appearance, Fu Nanhua suddenly discovered that this maid, a poor and humble girl who was supposed to be full of earthy smell, actually had a pair of rather impressive eyes, which made her look like a touch of tender green blooming in early spring. However, Fu Nanhua didn't think too much about it. The young master of Old Dragon City was really tired of seeing the outstandingly beautiful woman, fat and thin, and graceful.

Walking side by side with Cai Jinjian, Fu Nanhua asked: "What's the matter? It's not going well? It's just a matter of chance, and good things are hard to come by. You may not be able to make the final decision every time, so don't be discouraged."

Cai Jinjian was naturally charming and charming. After training, she washed her marrow and cut her bones. As far as her body was concerned, she was of course as pure as glass compared to ordinary women. The woman from the mountain was astonishing at first glance, but in the final analysis, she was just a piece of shit. That’s all.

The Fairy of Yunxia Mountain didn’t look very good at this time, which shows how bad her mood is, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so obvious on her face. She must have been holding back her anger while waiting in the alley. I really don’t want to complain, “There is an expert who got there first. He is one of the local snakes of Shujian Lake, Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao. There is not even a little room for negotiation. When we meet, the master of Yunxia Mountain moves out of my house to suppress me. A junior, I only said a few words from beginning to end, and I kicked him out of Gu Can's yard."

Fu Nanhua thought thoughtfully and reminded: "Don't leave the mud bottle alley. Chat."

Cai Jinjian asked doubtfully: "Isn't all magic forbidden here?"

Fu Nanhua said with a smile: "Who can come here to find opportunities? Ability? It may be okay for young people like you and me. According to the rules of the town, the more advanced you are, the greater the suppression will be. Under a saint, the closer your realm is to a saint, the weaker you will be. Childish, right? But have you ever thought that if a person who has attained the Tao is willing to use his magical powers even though he has lost his power, is he really not as good as the underachievers like us?"

Cai Jinjian retorted: "There is a saint here, how dare he, Zhenjun Jiejiang, dare to attack me openly?"

Fu Nanhua persuaded: "We are here to find good luck, not to make grudges, even if there is no enmity, Worrying about one's life, having a bad relationship with the seniors is not a good thing after all."

Cai Jinjian is not a arrogant person, he nodded and said: "Brother Fu is right, it is a mature and prudent opinion."

She had a sad face and looked pitiful, "But I really don't want to accept it. I have already given you ten cloud root stones. If the bamboo basket is empty, how will I talk to the ancestors when I go back?"explain? ”

After walking out of Mud Bottle Alley, Fu Nanhua and Cai Jinjian were refreshed almost at the same time. It was not as simple as the light suddenly brightening. The two looked at each other in confusion, and then their eyes quickly diverged.

Originally Fu Nanhua, who was extremely excited and excited, was also much calmer. He thought carefully about this trip to the alley, his alliance with Cai Jinjian, and that he didn't reveal any flaws. The deal with the young Song Jixin was also flawless. It was a perfect match. It's a fair transaction that complies with the rules. How can the saint who just sits and watches the ups and downs of this place have the leisure to intervene? So where does this pressure come from? Is it the guy who has never even heard of his name? Jiang Zhenjun? Compared with Fu Nanhua's far-reaching thoughts, Cai Jinjian's thoughts were simpler. She thought that Fu Nanhua had told her that Zhenjiang Zhenjun had indeed used some kind of magical power to monitor her. She was afraid for a while, but fortunately she just complained. They never spoke harshly or in anger.

The two of them were walking on the street with their own concerns. The farther away they were from Mu Bottle Alley, the dull feeling in their hearts became lighter. Fu Nanhua felt that it was a chance. With so much energy, Cai Jinjian felt that it was a heavy burden on the family.

Looking up at the archway in the distance, Fu Nanhua asked curiously: "Zhenjun Jiejiang of Shujian Lake?" How come I have no impression at all? Even though my old Dragon City is located in the extreme south of the continent, the position of the true king is so illustrious. No matter how ignorant I am, I should have some understanding. "

Cai Jinjian lowered his voice and sneered: "What kind of true king? He is just a real man who is ranked high in the side sect. He is the most sanctimonious and has no qualifications to be called a true king. He is just a flatterer of a meddlesome person. It’s just a poem. Thinking about how shrewd Emperor Yuanwu is, he will naturally not make this person a true king. Every carrot is a pit. Giving out the title of true king may mean that he will not be able to get it back for two hundred years. In addition, the ancestors of Emperor Yuanwu He was so lavish that in his hands, there were only two places left for the true kings, and he would not give them to a wild cultivator who was just trying to gain fame. "

Fu Nanhua suddenly said, "That's it. ”

Every true king sitting in the dynasty can gather, suppress and increase the national destiny for the monarch.

The position of the Taoist true king can almost be said to be a member of the Taoist sect, and in the world The top temple of the dynasty, the Shangzhu Kingdom of military strategists, and the great Confucian scholars were also included in this list.

Cai Jinjian asked seemingly casually: "How about the salary of Song Dynasty?" "

Fu Nanhua also replied casually: "That young man is ambitious, naturally smart, and has a lot of backing. It's just a pattern..."

Cai Jinjian smiled and said: "Not big?

Fu Nanhua laughed and said: "I can't say it's not big, it's just not big enough." "

When the two of them walked under the archway, Fu Nanhua was in high spirits and murmured: "Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together. ”

Cai Jinjian raised his head and looked at the four words “Don’t ask outside for help”. His heart was empty, and he just felt lost, as if the epiphany he had gained in Mud Bottle Alley had been completely returned to this small town.< /p>

This made her extremely irritable

Song Jixin.The house belongs to a large family in Muping Lane. In addition to the lobby with a plaque hanging on it, there are also side rooms on the left and right.

The plaque in the lobby is "Huaiyuan Hall" and there is no signature. Song Jixin always felt that it was only

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Look, it’s not everyone’s handiwork.

The master and servant were staying in Song Jixin's main house at the moment. The young man was rummaging through boxes and cabinets. The maid stood at the door. She asked softly: "Master, have you not concluded the business?"

The maid Zhigui said: "Young Master, your statement is too exaggerated. "

Song Jixin made a face and said, "That's ten clay bottle lanes away!"

The young man threw a bag to his maid, "Look. , this is the copper coin mentioned in the secret letter. The man named Chen next door also got a bag. I guessed at that time that it might not be a good thing for him to have such great wealth. Didn't you just offend those two bad guys? I think the guy named Chen is going to have to suffer a lot. By the way, Zhigui, let me tell you, the guy who came to our house claims to be the young city lord of Old Dragon City. Listen. His tone, if you look at it, at least it's not an embroidered pillow, and this jade pendant, it's called 'Old Dragon Buyu', it must be valuable!"

Song Jixin patted the green jade pendant! The lovely jade pendant was already hanging on his waist. In the heart of the young man, he felt that he was one step closer to being a scholar like Mr. Qi.

Zhigui opened the exquisite embroidered bag and asked softly: "Master, can you earn more 'copper coins' back?"

Song Jixin asked with a smile: "You Do you like it?"

Zhigui held a golden copper coin between his fingers, shook it, and said with a happy smile: "The gold is shining, it looks so festive. "

Song Jixin laughed dumbly, "Is this okay? Okay, since you like it, I'll bring back a few more bags. The money is outside, including the winning money placed on the crossbeam, the Spring Festival money on the peach charms, and the offering money in the belly or hands of the Buddha statue. However, ordinary people have their own values, and immortals have their own opinions.

She smiled and narrowed her eyes, like two crescent moons, and asked: "That bag of Chen Ping'an?" "

Song Jixin frowned, "Him? "

The maid noticed her young master's strange mood, carefully put away the copper coins, tied the bag tightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? "

Song Jixin curled his lips, covered his neck with his hands, twisted it, and said lightly: "It's okay, I remembered some shabby things. The one with the surname Chen is not availableBe anxious to avoid getting into trouble. On the other hand, that nerd Zhao Yao will probably get the copper coins, so he is easy to deceive. I will keep it for you, young master, and get a bag back for you. "

Seeing that the maid was a little strange, Song Jixin did not continue to explain. Seeing that his young master was not interested in talking, the girl did not go to break the casserole and ask the truth.

Zhigui walked out When I came to the courtyard, I saw the four-legged snake, which was born to be an eyesore, lying half-dead on the ground, basking in the sun, and often rolling around, looking very happy.

The girl was very angry. She walked quickly and stepped on the four-legged snake's head, twisting her toes.

The poor little guy screamed

She raised her foot, and the four-legged snake twisted. It swooped away and ran all over the yard, constantly bumping into the wall.

My own yellowish four-legged snake was greedy for the golden carp that accidentally got into the fish basket.

The black loach kept by Gu Can in the water tank

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are three out of five.

Looking at the four-legged one with horns on its head. Snake, the girl grinned with contempt on her face, "Stupid thing! ”

————

In the yard of the child Gu Can’s house, the old man and the woman were still sitting opposite each other. The former stretched out his palm and looked at the spread of the lines on his palm. The mood was not relaxed.

The old man put away his hand, raised his head and asked, "Ms. Gu, are there many women like you who marry foreign men in this small town?

The woman shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be many. Anyway, I'm the only one on this side of Xinghua Lane in Ni Ping Lane." "

The old man hesitated for a moment, but still revealed some secrets to her, "A girl's six and twelve years old, and a boy's nine and eighteen years old are two big thresholds respectively. The former requires If you step over it yourself, the latter can still push it with external force. There is one more thing to do next, and you will be more sure. The richer the family, the more advantages it will have. Opening the door, entering the hall, and entering the room are three things. The first two steps really only depend on chance and fate, especially the first step. Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether God will reward you or not.

The woman's eyes were full of smiles, "To be noticed by the immortal chief at a glance, my Gu Can is someone who can take the first step on his own, right?"

The old man smiled half-smilingly and said: "As long as you are a child who grew up in a small town, it means that your basic qualifications are not outstanding. Although your Gu Can is not nine years old, he is not." exception. "

The woman's face instantly became extremely ugly.

The old man raised his foot, stamped the ground, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the quality of the bones is of course important, but it is not the first priority. Yes, as God sees it, even a dog or a piece of weed on the roadside can slowly build a great road and eventually reach the sky. This time the town made an exception and allowed so many outsiders to enter, it was a last resort. A piece of crop land, no matter how good the water and soil is, will decline and decline after thousands of years of continuous reclamation, cultivation and harvesting, plus many times of fishing at all costs, and will eventually become completely barren. The Feng Shui heritage of this place has finally ushered in the last great year. Whenever a person is about to die, he returns toWhen the light shines back, the energy and spirit at that time will become particularly strong. Your family Gu Can benefited from this. The opportunity is greater than imagined, so much so that it far surpasses those small town children with extraordinary talents before. . ”

The woman’s lips trembled, trying her best to suppress her surprise. Her eyes were watery, and there was also a bit of seductive charm.

The old man glanced at her and smiled. Said: "Of course, don't be greedy. Your son is definitely not the only one who has such a great opportunity. To put it bluntly, in such a large Dongbaopingzhou, there are no people who are qualified to monopolize this luck.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, it must not have been born yet. "

The woman held her hands over her heart and murmured: "That's enough, that's enough.

The old man thought of the junior woman from Yunxia Mountain and said sarcastically: "To be so busy and think so hard and only to ask for some extraneous things is to pick sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. It's so stupid."

Then the old man smiled and said, "That's right. Those old guys in Yunxia Mountain have never had a broad vision, otherwise they wouldn't have let me get this opportunity." With an almost inexhaustible treasure mountain, he should have been prosperous and prosperous, but he was reduced to the point where he had to rely on his disciples and grandchildren to support the situation. "

Inside the house, the child, who had been punching and kicking the door for a long time, stood on a stool and leaned against the window, begging with a grimace: "Mom, please let me out, I promise you. Be obedient! "

The woman glanced at the old fairy, who nodded.

She then opened the door, took the child's hand and walked to the yard together. Face said softly: "Xiao Can, you are not allowed to cause trouble, do you understand? ! My mother has never beaten you. If you dare to disobey, your mother will really beat you again. ”

The child uttered an oh, his head drooped, looking sickly.

Gu Can moved a small bench, sat down by himself, and presented with his mother and the old man. The child held up his chin with his hands and said, "Mom, what exactly did you say to Mr. Storyteller just now? I couldn't hear it clearly in the room. Can you please tell me more?" ”

The old man sighed, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his wrist, and the big white bowl reappeared in his palm. He lowered his head and looked at it intently, his eyes dim and unclear, and he saw ripples on the water of the white bowl. During the formation, there were occasional splashes of water, and a black line swam quickly around the white bowl, hitting the wall of the bowl from time to time. The old man said to himself: "That's it, just let you go." ”

In order to accept this apprentice, the old man in Mud Bottle Alley worked hard and sacrificed decades of cultivation before he successfully moved his hands and feet three times.

The first time was to make the woman step on dog shit.

The last time was to use secret techniques to convince her that she was enlightened, which would have been impossible outside the small town. She was a veritable Taoist. I'm afraid the true king would not dare to do this, but in this small town, Cai Jinjian is no different from a mortal, and the old man has an opportunity to take advantage of it at a huge cost.

The second time was the most important. It's fineCoincidentally, even the old man himself thought it was a stroke of genius, which made the woman mistakenly think that the straw-shoe boy's kind reminder was actually a cunning revenge. The old man asked the young man to speak and slowed down a bit, allowing the woman to capture this detail.

It can be said that it is not deliberate.

On the road of spiritual practice, there is a fine line between people who are on the same path, good and bad.

At this time, Mrs. Gu, the woman in the hospital, was worried about what bad news the old immortal would say.

The old man twitched his lips, and out of the corner of his eye, a child stood up quietly, and then ran towards the courtyard door.

The woman screamed.

The old man held a white bowl in his hand and stood up slowly, "Apprentice, I will show you the greatness of the world first, so that you don't know the importance and ruin the future of you and me, master and disciple." Great cause!"

The woman's eyes darkened and she fainted.

The old man suddenly waved his sleeves.

The next moment, the child who was about to touch the door bolt of the courtyard staggered and fell to the ground. But when he realized something was wrong, he looked around blankly, and finally raised his head and looked at the storyteller standing beside him. Sir, "Where is this?"

The old man put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "In the bowl."

The child became more and more confused, and suddenly heard the old man yelling, "Get up !”

The child stood up instinctively and remained motionless.

Gu Can found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, with a sea of ​​clouds billowing in the distance directly in front of him.

Then, the child's eyes widened in shock, and he saw a huge torso breaking through the clouds and moving slowly in the white mist.

But it is too big and cannot reveal its complete true appearance.

The child was so frightened that he was about to take a step back, but the old man quickly held his head down with his palms and said sternly: "If you step back now, you will be unable to move even an inch in your practice! Stand still!"

Gu Can was so frightened that tears suddenly flowed out of his eyes. This naughty child who had always been lawless didn't even dare to cry.

The child could not control his body at all, his legs were trembling and his lips were trembling.

The sea of ​​clouds in the distance is boiling.

The misty white clouds seem to be fading away.

So more black appeared in the sky, extremely long and huge, just like...the little loach raised in my own water tank, after it exploded and grew up?

Such an idea popped into the child's mind for no reason.

At that moment, Gu Can was so distracted that he couldn't help but take a step forward, stretching out his slender arms towards the sky.

A head as huge as a mountain peak slowly swam in from the sea of ​​clouds.

The child's eyes were bright and he was not afraid at all. He even waved and shouted: "Come on, come on! It turns out you have grown so big. No wonder I always feel like throwing away fish, shrimps and crabs in the water tank." , I will always lose a lot the next day."

Shu Jianhu Jiejiang Zhenjun, who was standing behind Gu Can, had mixed feelings, including a strong sense of loss.Jealousy, but also spontaneous relief.

Although I definitely no longer have such great blessings, having this disciple is considered a blessing, and this trip is definitely not in vain!

The old man saw the head approaching with his own eyes and murmured: "A wonder in the world."

————

Chen Pingan suddenly followed the girl in black He said he wanted to go into the house, and finally squatted in the corner with his back to her, hiding something in the palm of his hand.

After he went out, he said he was going to buy her a clay pot for decoction, which was lacking at home.

After the straw-shoe boy left quickly, the girl glanced at an old jar standing in the darkness in the corner.

And the girl actually has very good hearing.

The object in his hand was a broken piece of porcelain, which was extremely sharp.
