.

Observing the moving look on Xi Fangping's face, the mountain god Hou Qing was secretly happy and continued to lobby: "Xi Xiucai, this mountain god knows that you were bewitched by Chen Jianchen, but this son is hiding evil intentions, but in fact he wants to use you. Xi Xiucai, you must not be deceived. Cai@hong*wen￥xue%net"

He didn't mention Chen Jianchen. After mentioning it, Xi Fangping suddenly woke up: What's wrong with me? The other party put his father back and gave him a glory and wealth. Can this matter never happen?

Is this the justice you want to seek?

If you agree to the other party, how can you still face Chen Jianchen in the future!

After thinking about it, I burst into cold sweat and said angrily: "You mountain god, don't want to sow discord in front of me. What I want is justice, not a glory and wealth that you have obtained through mediocrity! If you know your mistake, you should release my father immediately, and then take the blame to the City God!"

Hou Qing was furious: "Good boy, if you don't want toast, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he said that, he suddenly burst out and showed his original body. It turned out to be a nine-foot tall ape, with red fur all over his body as red as fire, and his eyes were full of glaring and a huge mouth roaring.

Xi Fangping was shocked and couldn't help but scream: "Brother Chen save me..."

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As they called, three characters ink suddenly flew out of the void, which were vaguely written by Chen Jianchen, "Zhen", "Ding", and "Zhu".

These three characters appeared out of thin air and surrounded Xi Fangping.

Bang!

The violent monkey bumped into her head, but she couldn't do anything to three characters. Instead, the light stimulated from the characters stabbed on the fur, making a loud sound...

"Ouch!"

Xi Fangping screamed in surprise and stood up suddenly, only to realize that it was Nan Ke Yimeng—

The night is as deep as the sea, but the wind and rain stop.

Hearing his scream, Chen Jianchen suddenly woke up and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Xi, what's the matter?"

Only then did Xi Fangping realize that the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat, sticky, and he said one by one about what happened in his dream with lingering fear. Only then did he realize that Chen Jianchen had written three words and posted them around him: It was indeed to prevent problems before they happened!

Just such a method is really terrifying. Could it be that Chen Jianchen is not a human, but a god?

After hearing this, Chen Jianchen snorted coldly and said, "Despicable." He paused, and then said, "Brother Xi, I really admire you for being able to stick to your original intention and not be moved by external things."

Xi Fangping felt ashamed and said, "Brother Chen is too proud. I was moved for a moment before. If I really agreed, I will no longer be ashamed to face you, Brother Chen."

In the Tiantong Dynasty, the four books were boring and rigid, but there were two words deeply imprinted between the lines, one was the word "zhong" and the other was the word "xin".

The word "Zheng" is of course "Loyalty to the court", while the word "Xin" emphasizes that people should have faith in their words and trust, and trust is the foundation of living. There is a widely circulated story that says that there is a scholar named "Chen Tianci". Because he made an appointment with someone to meet under the bridge, the other party did not come for a long time. It was raining heavily and the river was flooded. He refused to leave. Finally, he was drowned in his arms with the bridge pillar - he did not break his trust until his death.

From Chen Jianchen's perspective, this story is a bit exaggerated and pedantic, but the values ​​in it are recognized by many grassroots scholars.

Therefore, Chen Jianchen came to help Xi Fangping. If Xi Fangping privately reached an agreement with the mountain god Hou Qing and no longer sought justice, it would be like betraying Chen Jianchen, breaking his word and spreading it out, it would definitely be despised.

Chen Jianchen looked at the sky and roughly estimated the time. It was almost dawn. Then he said, "Since the wind and rain have stopped, why don't we go down the mountain now. This place should not be left for a long time."

As the Yinsi Mountain God, Hou Qing had not yet reached the level of Dharma, so it was impossible to show up and chase after him. However, if he could invade Xi Fangping's soul, it would be better to leave as soon as possible if he could invade Xi Fangping's soul.

Xi Fangping had no objection, so the two of them cleaned up a little, lit the lantern, picked up their palms, and started to go down the mountain.

Due to the rain all night, the mountain road was quite slippery and muddy, which was very difficult to walk. Fortunately, they had a good foundation in their bodies and walked very steadily.

I went all the way to the foot of the mountain, and the fishy belly turned white in the east. I believe that after a night of wind and rain, today will be a sunny day.

When we arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain, there were already early food stalls launched, including porridge, fried dough sticks, pancakes, and fragrant.

After last night's incident, Chen Jianchen and Xi Fangping were both hungry and quickly found a clean stall, and started eating and drinking. When they filled their stomachs, the sun rose to the east, shining on the earth, shining brightly.

He hired a carriage and started returning to Jiangzhou.

Before this, Xi Fangping only visited Jiangzhou once. During the Chinese New Year, he came to open a couplet stall on the street to make money by writing. But I don’t know if it was because of too many competitors. He opened a stall for ten days, and in addition to the cost, he didn’t make the same money as before. At that time, in order to save money, he slept under other people’s roofs for five out of ten days, slept next to the exterior wall of the nearby temple, and two more days, and slept directly on the alley.

In fact, Xi Fangping's experience is just a microcosm of the grassroots scholars in the world. Today's dynasty rule, the differentiation between the rich and the poor is getting worse and bigger. Even scholars who have passed the scholarship and fame will be poor if they do not know how to manage.

You should know that it is really difficult to pass the imperial examination. Just obtaining the qualification for the provincial examination cannot be achieved by just being a good article. There are people outside the examination room, there are ways, and there are too many things to pay attention to.

If you study hard, there is no way out.

When he entered Jiangzhou for the second time, Xi Fangping was filled with mixed feelings. He once vowed that he would go to the city to study in a grand manner in the future, but now it seems that it is a little out of reach.

Chen Jianchen did not return to the college and directly asked the carriage to rush to his home. After arriving at home, he introduced to Mo Sanniang, Abao and the others, saying that Xi Fangping was his classmate.

At the beginning, Xi Fangping was a little restrained, but gradually he was able to let go. He came to Chen Jianchen's study and saw the dazzling array of books on the bookshelf. He sighed loudly and his eyes were straightened.

Chen Jianchen curled his mouth and thought to himself that if you see the study of Zhang Huanyun, the book fan of Suzhou, you will immediately faint happily...

Since it is a scholar, of course he loves books. Moreover, for many years, Xi Fangping has been learning by copying books, and cherishes books even more, and cherishes them as treasures. So when he saw a book "Eight Treasures and Four Books" being thrown aside casually and the pages of the book were rudely bent, he immediately took it with his hands and smoothed it out.

Seeing this, Chen Jianchen laughed silently. It seemed that Xi Fangping was also a book lover, so he said, "Brother Xi, you can read the books here at will."

He did not say borrowing, as the saying goes, "If you borrow a book, you will be foolish." In terms of books, the word "borrow" should not be easily said.

Xi Fangping was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. He quickly took down the long-awaited "Bacushion Tower Notes" to read - how to relieve worries, only reading.

Now Chen Jianchen's living environment has undergone earth-shaking changes and has long been well-off, so he often collects all kinds of useful books on the market and buys them in his study to read. Astronomy, geography, classics, history, poetry, songs and essays are all-encompassing. Walking thousands of miles and reading thousands of books, you can finally achieve "integration of knowledge and action". Although he is a time traveler, the content of the books in this area has always been very different from his previous life, and they must be practiced again.

Since untied the knot of the eight-legged essay, Chen Jianchen has now truly achieved the point of "doing whatever he wants without going against his original intention".

The study room is the most important place for men, just like the boudoir of a lady. Chen Jianchen asked Xi Fangping to come in, and naturally felt that this person was open-minded and persistent, and was still a filial son. He was not an ordinary pedantic person and could make friends. One more friend, he would have more strength in the future.

It cannot be used during the day and cannot smell the scent of the chicken, so you have to wait until evening.

After dinner, Chen Jianchen found an excuse and left with Xi Fangping, and went to the City God Temple in Jiangzhou City early.

Jiangzhou City God Temple covers a huge area, with continuous buildings, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere. There are couplets on both sides of the main hall, saying: Good and evil will be rewarded; right and wrong should not be discussed late or early. Banner: I am selfless.

This couplet was written by Wu Wencai's father, who is now the Minister of Rites Wu Yongbiao, when he was the governor of Jiangzhou in the past.

The characters are very upright, beautiful, with awesome strokes and majestic. The meaning of the couplet is full of the meaning of persuading people to be kind. The plaque is "I am selfless", but I don't know if it is compared to Lord Wu or the title of the City God. But no matter what, Chen Jianchen knew it very well, that these are just scene words.

Don't take the scene seriously, it's a way to die.

There are incense guests in the City God Temple because there are many wing rooms inside - Taoist Master Guanghan lived in the City God Temple.

There is no need to live in the wing room in the City God Temple, but you have to donate more than one-day incense money in advance to be eligible to move in. For this reason, Chen Jianchen specially donated two cents of money, which he and the other cents were given by the assistant Xi Fangping.

Xi Fangping felt embarrassed, but did not say too much thanks. He only thought that he would repay him in the future. This is the best way to repay him.

Sitting in the wing room, waiting for the night to cover the roll, and after the moon rises to the willows, Chen Jianchen took out two roosters and couldn't smell the scent of the chickens, and lit them. Soon, he and Xi Fangping drove the soul to enter the underworld again-

This time, what was presented to them was no longer a mountain, but a huge city. Above the city gate, there was an ancient plaque with the words "Jiangzhou".

Chen Jianchen originally thought that they would appear in the City God Temple immediately, but it seems that it is a bit different now, and it is not the case.

At this time, people came in and out of Jiangzhou City from time to time. They were like ordinary people, with different clothes and different moods. But Chen Jianchen knew very well that these were actually ghosts - more decent human-like ghosts. (To be continued)
