Chapter 188 Chen Shi passed the exam

On the Minjiang River, the water is filled with waves, like white scales, layered one on top of another. From a distance, the Minjiang River looks like a big dragon, and the waves are the scales of the big dragon.

A painting boat floated on the river, and the wind blew, making the sails round and round, making the boat sail very fast on the river.

The boat girl ate melon seeds and looked at Chen Shi and Li Tianqing with a smile.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Are the melon seeds delicious?

"

Try it!"

The boat girl grabbed a handful and brought it to him.

Li Tianqing quickly tugged at the corner of Chen Shi's clothes,

These are two gangsters on the run,

Can you eat the melon seeds they gave you?

Chen Shi took the melon seeds and ate one. It was very fragrant. He added tangerine peel and stir-fried it. The crispy aroma also contained the fragrance of tangerine peel. It was very soothing to the throat, unlike other melon seeds that can cause throat problems if eaten too much. Dry hair.

"Is it delicious?" the boat girl asked with a smile,

Chen Shi praised: "It's delicious.

Why did you, father and daughter, flee Wangchuan?

Li Tianqing's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he secretly complained. Is this topic allowed to be brought up?

When they came to Kunjiang Ferry, Chen Shi saw the painted boat and insisted on boarding their boat. Li Tianqing was a little unhappy, but he couldn't resist Chen Shi and had to board the boat. Unexpectedly, after boarding, Chen Shi would ask such a question. question!

There were other scholars on the boat who were also waiting for the big exams in the autumn but failed, so they returned to Xinxiang and joined them on the boat.

Most of the monks in Caolaohui were killed or injured, including the leader of the church. There were not many boats on the Minjiang River, so they could only take this painted boat back to Xinxiang.

The boat girl giggled and said, "Why else? I can't survive anymore."

Some people make a big fuss in the underworld, going there once or twice without saying anything, but still making trouble every day.

We also kidnapped someone's soul. We are the ones doing the work and have to bear the responsibility. If we stay in the underworld, we will die and we have to escape.

Chen Shi blinked and asked: "Who dares to cause trouble in the underworld? Have any of the abducted souls been found?

"Found it.

The boat girl chewed the melon seeds carefully, but the flesh between her teeth had been eaten away and only the shell was left. She still looked at Chen Shi while chewing, and said with a smile, "

The underworld is not at peace now, Master Qingtian has disappeared, what will happen if he is found? Even if he is brought back, who can rehabilitate us? So we just put it off.

She looked at Chen Shi as if the melon seed shell between her teeth was disgusting and she chewed it over and over again.

Chen Shi chatted with her and said curiously: "

Where has Mr. Qingtian gone? Was he plotted against someone, or was he seized from power? Or is he lost?

Already?

"have no idea.

The boat girl was also worried and sighed, "Many people are looking for him...

The boatman coughed, and the boat girl was stern and stopped talking about the topic.

Chen Shi looked towards the shore and saw many strange people on both sides of the Minjiang River flapping their big ears. They were flying and recording, as if they were recording what happened on the ship.

"Heavenly Listener!

"Are the listeners spying on me these days, or on Chen Shiya, this pair of fugitives?

Some of the listeners these days are familiar faces, who appeared near the main altar of Hongshan Hall a few days ago.

Their ears are like wings, and their bodies hang down like little bean sprouts, but

It is so dexterous that it can fly across rivers and even mountains.

While flying, you can also write and draw in a notebook.

These guys are very annoying, but if you kill them, they will only attract more Sky Listeners.

The boat girl looked back and said with a smile: "At the entrance of the Minjiang River, a huge stump of a body washed up recently. It was two or three miles long and extremely thick. The scales hanging on it were bigger than our boat, which attracted many people to look at it.

We also went to see the will-o'-the-wisps on the scales, and there were many dead souls imprisoned in each scale.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly: "Could it be the Whisperer of the Sea who was injured by Empress Mazu?

He called the sea monster that caused him vomiting the Whisperer of the Sea. The Whisperer was extremely powerful, but unfortunately he was severely wounded by Mazu and had to escape.

Unexpectedly, the empress's blow actually caused one of her limbs to break off!

"Can you two take us to the estuary of the Minjiang River?

Chen Shi said, “I’ll pay more!

The boat girl chuckled and said: "

I knew you were rich, but unfortunately you knew it too late. I heard that a Taoist priest came over and took the thing away.

You will gain nothing wherever you go.

Chen Shi secretly said it was a pity.

If such a powerful being could take off even one of its scales, it would be worth a lot of money.

He ate melon seeds and chatted with the boat girl, and the journey was uneventful. The boat girl took them to the boundary of Xinxiang and parked them in the dock. Chen Shi paid the ship fare, got off the ship with a group of Xinduo scholars, and waved goodbye to the boat girl.

They got on the wooden cart and drove towards Qianyang Mountain.

Li Tianqing said: "The target of this boatman and his daughter is probably you.

Xiao Shi, you'd better stay away from them!

Chen Shi smiled and said: "

Maybe they were looking for another person, maybe there was a soul that was rescued back then, and they happened to be the undercover guards guarding that person.

Li Tianqing argued: "How could such a coincidence happen?

Chen Shi laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What else? Can you beat them, or can I beat them? If they wanted to attack me, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until they are on the boat?

Take action?

Li Tianqing admired him very much and said with a smile: "

You are quite calm.

If you can't participate in Qiuwei this time, what are your plans after returning to the village?

Chen Shi said quietly: "

Go buy various medicinal materials and supervise your elixir making.

Then sell the elixir and become a rich man.

Li Tianqing's face turned dark.

As the wooden cart drove into Qianyang Mountain, Chen Shi turned around and saw all the Heavenly Listeners following behind them, flapping their ears. Whatever they talked about would be recorded.

Chen Shi frowned slightly, why are the listeners focusing on him these days?

During the last Shichuan incident, he was targeted by the Sky Listeners, but then the Sky Listeners disappeared, so he was presumably cleared of suspicion.

Why are you targeting him again this time?

"Could it be the Mazu Temple incident? But in the Mazu Temple incident, shouldn't the people who were targeted be Grandma Sha and the others? Why were they targeted at me?" Chen Shi was quite puzzled.

When they returned to Huangpo Village, Grandma Yuzhu saw him and said happily: "

Master Xiu Cai is back! Master Xiu Cai went to take the examination. Have you become a master of examination now? Don't light a fire tonight and come to my house for dinner!

Chen Shi said nonchalantly: "The governor was killed, the academic officer also died, the Qiu Wei died, and he failed the exam.

Grandma Yuzhu said: "

Are you still a scholar now?

Chen Shi nodded.

Grandma Yuzhu stopped mentioning going to her house for dinner and said, "Why is the governor dead?"

"

I heard people say that I killed him.

"Chen Shi said honestly

He rarely lies in front of his relatives...

The news of Chen Xiucai's return spread like wildfire. Several families in the village originally planned to be matchmakers for Chen Shi. But when they heard that he had killed the governor and failed to pass the exam, they gave up the idea. When they met Chen Shi, they also gave up the idea.
