"Azure!"
A voice came, and Chen Shi and Li Tianqing looked over. They saw seven or eight young people, dressed as scholars, bright but unassuming, high-spirited and young people, waving to Li Tianqing from a distance.
Li Tianqing responded and whispered: "They are from my Li family. The person who called me is Li Juan, the second son of my fourth uncle, who takes good care of me. They asked me to come over if they have something to do."
Chen Shi nodded.
Li Tianqing ran over, and Li Jun smiled and said: "Tianqing, we brothers have just arrived in Xinxiang. We are not familiar with the place, there are many inconveniences, and we don't know where to play. After all, you have been here before, why don't you show us around."
Li Tianqing wondered: "The last time I came here, I went to the countryside and never visited the county town."
Li Jun said: "It's just a place to enjoy the view and drink tea. Are you talking to someone from here just now? Are you a local? Just go and ask."
Li Tianqing ran back again and told the story. Chen Shi said: "I went to the night market a few days ago and passed by the Qingqu River in the city. I saw a painted boat in the river. You can probably enjoy the view and drink tea. But Tianqing, I don't think they are calling you.
I call you here and there, but I don't treat you as a brother, but rather like a servant."
Li Tianqing said: "I'll tell you when I get back."
He hurried over and told Li Jun and others about the boat. Li Jun asked the other brothers and sisters what they meant, and everyone laughed and said, "It's just a new place to enjoy the scenery and find a quiet and elegant place.
Just get on the boat."
Li Jun nodded and said: "Thank you, Tianqing. Is that your friend just now? Let's call him together. It will save you some trouble to have a local to lead the way."
Li Tianqing said yes, came over to call Chen Shi, and led everyone towards the Qingqu River.
Li Tianqing whispered: "I am a concubine in the Li family. The son of a concubine has no status in the first place. My status in the house is not as good as that of a favored maid. If they hadn't made a contribution to the discovery of the Ming Dynasty treasure ship this time, I'm afraid they wouldn't even pay attention to it."
He won’t pay attention to me either.”
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Then what's the point of staying in the Li family? Why don't you come with me to Qianyang Mountain and become the king of the mountain? No one dares to say one thing in the countryside."
Li Tianqing sighed: "Being born in a noble family, I can't help myself."
While they were talking, they came to the Qingqu River Pier and summoned a boat. The water in the river was quite clean, and there were wind charms painted on the boat, which could be activated and allowed the boat to travel with the wind, which was very convenient.
The boat owners are a father and a daughter. The father is at the helm, while the daughter is busy helping to make tea. They are very attentive.
When the young masters of the Li family saw that the girl was pretty, they made fun of her. Unexpectedly, this woman was so aggressive and full of vile words that the young men of the Li family turned red with shame.
Everyone laughed and watched the boat sail into the Qingqu River.
"Ask the canal how clear it is, so that there is a source of living water."
Li Jun sighed, with helplessness in his voice, and said, "The Ming Dynasty is a picturesque country, but it's a pity that the government has failed. There are many people in power who have nothing but wine and rice bags, and they work together to the extent that evil spirits are rampant. They have failed this picturesque country and let it down."
The common people of Li, in this world, how can we clear the canals? Without clear canals, how can we have living water? If the water is not alive, how can there be fish and dragons dancing?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was deeply touched.
Chen Shi couldn't help but look sideways at him and thought to himself: "This Young Master Li Jun can clearly see the disadvantages of the times."
Li Zhengqing, the fourth son of Li Xiaozheng, said: "What the second brother said is absolutely true. It's just that the world is like this. Although you and I have the intention to reform the evil, but we have no power, what can we do?"
They all sighed.
Li Jun chanted: "I am so sad that my young head turned gray! I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't save myself! It's a shame, it's a shame! If I can enter the court, I will sweep the world, get rid of the stubborn diseases of the court, promote ancient laws, and return a person to the world.
The world is bright and clear!"
Everyone praised him one after another, and Chen Shi also praised him and said to Li Tianqing: "The Li family are mostly knowledgeable people, which is admirable. They are much better than the Zhao family."
He has killed many Zhao family members and has a very good understanding of the virtues of the Zhao family's children.
Li Tianqing smiled and said nothing.
On the boat, everyone was impassioned and sang many tragic songs, lamenting how miserable people's lives were in this world. However, most of the people in the court were ruthless people, lamenting that they were powerless and unable to change the situation.
Chen Shi admired Li Jun and others more and more in his heart. At this moment, Li Jun asked the boat girl: "Is there any thin horse in this city?"
The boat girl wondered: "What is a thin horse?"
Li Jun was slightly embarrassed and whispered: "She's just a young prostitute."
The boat girl smiled and said: "It turns out that the young men want to have sex with prostitutes. What I just said was so upright, I thought that the young men didn't want to have fun, so I didn't go to the brothel. Our boat goes directly to the brothel, but we mostly go there at night.
, there are very few during the day. Young masters, please wait a moment and allow me to turn around. Dad, they are not serious scholars, so they will turn around and go to a brothel."
The boat turned around and sailed towards the brothel.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, chatting and laughing. Occasionally, they would say something about the current situation, but it would be quickly dismissed. Everyone started talking about thin horses, and there were many vulgar words in their words.
Chen Shi only thought it was weird and could not connect these people with the generous and tragic person just now.
When they arrived at the brothel and the boatman berthed the boat, he saw a group of beautiful girls upstairs opening the windows, looking down, wearing fresh clothes, singing and dancing, and waving handkerchiefs to let the uncle come up.
Everyone was so excited that they picked up their clothes and hurriedly came ashore.
The boat girl hurriedly said: "The boat price hasn't been paid yet!"
"Tianqing, you pay!" Li Juan was the first to rush into the brothel and said loudly.
Everyone poured into the brothel, hugging the beauty and drinking and chatting happily. After a while, I don't know which nerve they touched, they despised the government, worried about the country and the people, and then they put their hands into the beauty's arms and made sounds and sounds.
Soon after, everyone ran out of the brothel in embarrassment. Behind them, the Madam and Turtle chased them and shouted: "Why go to a brothel if you don't have money? Just go home and enjoy yourself!"
Everyone was ashamed and angry, holding their heads and running away.
Li Jun said: "Tianqing, do you have any money on you?"
Li Tianqing shook his head and said: "I only have a few taels of silver per month, how can I get enough?"
All the young masters of the Li family returned to the boat without shame and left angrily. In the end, Chen Shi paid the boat fare.
Li Tianqing also planned to go ashore, but Chen Shi shook his head and said: "Shipman, set sail."
The two came to the bow of the boat. Chen Shi looked at the crowds of people on the shore. After a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that he fell back and forth.
Li Tianqing was very embarrassed, but immediately laughed out loud.
"This is Qingliu. He is good at discussing, but has no ability and only uses his words."
Li Tianqing smiled and said, "If you go to a provincial capital, no matter which province it is, there will be clean water like this. Just now you said they are knowledgeable people, I know you have never encountered them, so I didn't answer the call."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Now I have seen something. If many people in the world are like this, then I can not only return to Qianyang Mountain to be the master, but also the master of the entire Xiniu Xinzhou, I can do my best!"
There was a surge of pride in his chest.
What kind of skill is it to go back to Huangpo Village and act arrogantly?
If you have the ability, you can be the master of the whole world!
Li Tianqing shook his head and said: "Although there are many such arrogant people in the family of the world, there are also people who work hard and work hard to become stronger. How can it be so easy to become the master of Xiniu Xinzhou?"
Chen Shi glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "Are you the one who works hard to become stronger?"
Li Tianqing said calmly: "After I returned home, I practiced with great concentration and made great progress, and finally succeeded in cultivating the golden elixir not long ago. With the achievement of the golden elixir, no one in the Li family cares about my purple jade divine fetus. From then on, the sky is free for birds to fly. The vastness of the sea depends on the leap of fish."
Behind his head, the shrine was shining brightly, with a divine fetus sitting in the center. He opened his mouth slightly, and saw a blue divine elixir flying out, reflecting the light. The air around him was like clear water, with ripples of light, and the boat seemed to be shuttled through the water.
Chen Shi was as powerful as a tiger. He stared at him and said, "Tianqing, you are ambitious. I can hear it from your words."
Li Tianqing was thin and said with a smile: "I was born as a man, so I should have ambitions. Xiao Shi, although you are both civil and military, you will definitely be a scholar this time, but you don't have a divine fetus. Even if you can get a divine fetus, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." You can't escape being remembered, but I can take advantage of you every step of the way."
Chen Shi smiled slightly: "Golden elixir? Although I don't have a divine fetus, I have succeeded in cultivating it."
His breath suddenly surged, and the palace of alchemy in his body was filled with fire. The golden elixir was like a sun, shining on the internal organs, refining the pulse, qi, blood, essence, bone, marrow, form, spirit, seven returns, eight transformations, and nine return.
Li Tianqing looked at him as if he were looking at a morning sun rising from the sea.
His golden elixir makes the boat seem to be sailing under the water, and Chen Shi is like the rising sun!
Li Tianqing's body shook slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he lost his voice: "How did you achieve this?"
Chen Shi was very proud: "You think you can climb in front of me if you cultivate the golden elixir? As a divine fetus, I refined the body of the holy fetus, and finally broke through, and the energy and blood in my body refined the mysterious elixir!"
Li Tianqing snorted: "Heroes! I have one more divine fetus than you, which means I have one more realm than you!"
He took a step forward, took one step forward, and landed on the water. Without stopping, he ran as fast as flying, and actually rode the waves on the water!
"Xiao Shi, come here, let me show you the authentic Jindan Sect!"
He cultivated the golden elixir and was so high-spirited that he actually challenged Chen Shi and ran more than ten feet away in an instant.
His golden elixir hangs above his head, and the divine light in the elixir reflects, causing the water surface to sink slightly and sink, but it lifts his body up and walks across the waves as if walking on flat ground!
When Chen Shi saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire: "As expected of a noble family, they are indeed much better than me in the cultivation of golden elixirs!"
He was about to jump onto the river when the boat girl suddenly grabbed his sleeve and said, "I haven't paid yet!"
Chen Shi laughed and threw down a tael of silver.
"Keep the change, please!"
He stepped out and landed on the river. The golden elixir in his body was refining, and Qi and blood poured into his legs. When he landed on the water, the water exploded!
Chen Shi rushed out like an arrow from a string, but saw a figure like an arrow. Wherever it passed, the water surface continued to explode, heading straight for Li Tianqing!
Li Tianqing was running on the water, and suddenly he turned over like a wild goose. Six invisible moon wheels flew out from below, up, down, left and right, quickly and slowly, towards Chen Shi!
Chen Shi made a sword move with his hand. The sword moves were either cutting or picking, changing continuously. The invisible sword energy cut off the six moon wheels one after another. He punched out with the other hand. There was a strong wind and waves on the river, and the strong wind rolled up the big waves, towards Li Tianqing.
Pounce head on!
Li Tianqing used golden elixir to protect his body, passed through the big waves, and moved forward through the waves. The moon rotated around his body to meet Chen Shi's punch.
The two people's blood surged, and the big waves on the river suddenly exploded. Among the waves, Chen Shi passed through the water curtain, turned over and landed on the stone bridge. Looking down, he saw the river was flowing slowly, and Li Tianqing was standing on the river, following him.
The water flows downstream.
Chen Shi encouraged Jin Dan and was about to rush down from the bridge when he saw small boats swaying this way and that in the Qingqu River. The boatman and the boat girl were yelling at each other, which was very unpleasant. He hurriedly gave up the idea and left whistling.
Li Tianqing was still waiting to respond to his attack, but he saw Chen Shi walking away as if he didn't recognize him. Just as he was surprised, he saw a small boat passing by him, and the old boatman on the boat rushed to him.
He shouted: "Dead head, you have fallen into the water! Blow up, blow up, blow up a big bastard!"
His words had a local accent, and Li Tianqing didn't understand them for a while. When he came back to his senses, his face turned red and he hurriedly went ashore.
He was about to go look for Chen Shi, but saw his fourth uncle Li Xiaozheng and others walking towards him, so he had to give up the idea of ​​deciding the outcome with Chen Shi.
After the literary test and the martial arts test, you have to wait for the announcement of the results, which takes several days. After the results are released, the grand sacrifice of the gods comes.
Chen Shi had nothing to do in the city, so he simply returned to Huangpo Village.
"Xiao Shi, the scholar who took the exam is back? Did you pass the exam?"
The old lady Wuzhu was standing on the roadside. When she saw Chen Shi, she couldn't help showing a flattering smile and said, "Little Shi, come and eat watermelon in the field."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "There are still a few days until the results are released."
The old lady Wu Zhu kicked the watermelon back into the ground as if she didn't see him.
Chen Shi returned to the village and came to Huangtugang to see Zhu Xiucai. Zhu Xiucai quickly asked about the test questions, and Chen Shi told him the truth.
"I've talked about this before!"
Zhu Xiucai said excitedly, "It's guaranteed, it's guaranteed! Don't worry, it's safe!"
Chen Shi was also very excited and said, "I think so too! I just offered incense to my grandpa, and there was smoke coming from his grave!"
He thought for a while, then quickly took out the incense and paid homage to his godmother. After putting up the incense, he was about to talk to Zhu Xiucai, when suddenly the light on the stone tablet flowed like water, and a stream of light shot out from the tablet and sank into the back of his head!
Chen Shi's eyes were completely dark and he couldn't see anything.
He knew something was wrong and hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw that the surroundings were still dark and he was the only one standing there alone.
Willow, Ganniang, Zhu Xiucai, Gouzi, Huangpo Village, and Qianyang Mountain all disappeared!
"Caught evil?"
Chen Shi was surprised, "Who dares to hit me now?"
At this time, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
He waited quietly, but saw that the light was like white ink smeared in the darkness, gradually expanding, but the light still had a sandy texture, as if the space in front of him was composed of white and black sand grains.
In this strange space, there is a temple.
The temple is not big and has no courtyard. It is a solitary hall, about one to seven feet high and more than two feet wide. There are three steps in front of the door and two vermilion pillars, showing its old simplicity.
The roof is covered with glazed tiles, layer upon layer, and there are no immortals, animals or dragon heads on the ridge.
When Chen Shi came to the front, he saw words on the pillars, divided into left and right parts, and wrote:
Following the example of heaven, the heaven and earth are all like me
My nature is self-sufficient. It is better to ask God or ghost than to ask myself.
