Chapter 99: Routines

After a long time, the Taoist priest lost weight and his face was full of wind and frost, which was obviously because of his running around.

Chen Tang invited him in and Su Ling gave him tea.

Zhan Yangchun bowed: "I'm happy to hear that Brother Chen has been in high school, and I'm happy to congratulate you."

Chen Tang joked: "Since you are here to congratulate, why are you rude?"

Zhan Yangchun laughed, pulled into his sleeve, took out something, and wrapped it with a piece of brocade.

He came to the door today, and he was here to give gifts.

"Thank you."

Chen Tang was not polite either. He reached out to take it and opened it and saw that it was a paperweight. It was made of stone, gentle as jade, and a shape was carved on the top, not a dragon or tiger. Those two forms were too domineering and could not be kept at home. Moreover, the style and characteristics were not suitable for the atmosphere of the study.

"Is this a cicada?"

After looking at it, I couldn't help asking.

Zhan Yangchun nodded: "That is, cicadas can calm their minds and cultivate their nature. This stone is called 'Zen Xiang Stone', which has a strange fragrance and can repel mosquitoes."

When Chen Tang heard the saying of expelling mosquitoes, he couldn't help but remember that in the hot summer, the mosquitoes in his room were gone and had never been bitten. At first, he felt strange and couldn't figure it out, but later he realized that it was mostly due to the Heavenly Man Sword Box.

This box is a treasure, which can not only capture evil spirits, but also drive away mosquitoes and insects. It's amazing.

Although the paperweight effect is somewhat overlapping with the sword box, the sword box is not always carried on it. Sometimes when you go out, you will carry Zen incense stone, which is quite useful.

According to this trend, it may not take long before the four treasures of study and study supplies used by Chen Tang may be treasured.

Zhan Yangchun looked up and down at Chen Tang, and as he looked, he twitched his mouth: "How strange!"

Chen Tang's heart was beating and asked, "Why did Taoist Master say this?"

"You are a high school juren, and you should have an official spirit. Why didn't I notice it?"

Zhan Yangchun was surprised.

Chen Tang smiled and said, "I only get fame and fortune, but I don't have any official position. How much breath can I have? Or maybe I am rich in literary talent, so I am covered up."

Zhan Yangchun stroked his beard and said, "Generally speaking, literary spirit is difficult to stop the official spirit. Even if the official spirit is only a little bit, it will be rebellious and domineering and domineering."

After watching for a while, I couldn't see any clues. I just felt that Chen Tang's aura was plain and restrained, which was quite meaningful to return to the natural state.

Chen Tang quickly changed the topic: "Master, you left in a hurry last time, but because of the demon?"

When Zhan Yangchun heard this, he said, "How, do you know the demon?"

Chen Tang said what happened on Xueyue Island with a pinched head and tail.

After listening, Zhan Yangchun said, "The pig demon is just a slave who has not yet achieved the climate of cultivation. Even so, it is quite powerful and difficult. Even if I face it, I may not be able to get benefits. That mysterious Wuji is definitely a master!"

Obviously, when he returned to Panzhou, he had learned about this from other channels.

"House slave?"

Chen Tang keenly captured a special noun in his words: "Can you say that this demon was raised by someone?"

Zhan Yangchun smiled and said, "Who has such ability to raise demons? Even today's court is just establishing nine doors, which are specifically responsible for handling various special events."

He didn't want to say too much, and sighed: "The world is going to be chaotic, the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and it is really a matter of being confused and helpless. Brother Chen, it is a good thing for you to take the exam for Juren. If you can go further, pass the imperial examination and get an official position, it would be even better."

Chen Tang asked: "Will the world be in chaos? Why didn't I feel it?"

Zhan Yangchun said vaguely: "The ice is three feet long, not a day's cold. I'm just planning ahead and expressing some emotion. Anyway, you can listen to me and you won't harm you."

Chen Tang originally wanted to pretend to be confused and make some words, but the Taoist priest was very strict and only missed some words. He didn't say much about it. I wonder if he didn't know it himself? Or he felt that as Chen Tang's identity, it might not be a good thing to be too deeply involved...

Evil and demons are taboo topics.

In fact, Zhan Yangchun has already told him a lot of relevant content.

Chen Tang asked: "Is the Taoist priest going back this time to take charge of Panzhou Prefecture?"

Zhan Yangchun smiled bitterly: "Where is Fu Sheng's uncle here, where is my turn? I took over the order of my teacher and went to Panzhou to do some investigation."

"Master Fusheng?"

Chen Tang suddenly recalled the old Taoist priest who lay lazily under the osmanthus tree all day long. He looked ordinary but actually extraordinary.

Zhan Yangchun waved his hand: "My uncle has a quirk of temperament and is rarely seen. Don't expect to visit him."

Chen Tang looked strange when he heard this: "Is that true? But the last time I went to the Taoist temple, your uncle also taught me a "Invisible Talisman"."

At this point, he simply stopped covering up and said this, saying that we have already entered your circle and are qualified to inquire about those taboo topics.

Zhan Yangchun said "ah" and almost jumped up: "I don't know about this, Master Fu Sheng did not mention it..."

He paused and asked, "Have you practiced it?"

Chen Tang entered the room and took out an invisibility talisman.

Zhan Yangchun took it and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he commented: "The quality is average, but it is considered a finished product after all, and the quality is sloppy. However, it is extremely cost-effective to refine talismans. Back then, when I practiced this technique for the first time, I used to waste ten pieces of talisman paper to make one. If you are a beginner, you will probably have to waste more than twenty pieces of talisman paper. Although you have passed the imperial examination, it is difficult to endure such consumption."

Chen Tang touched his nose: "Master Fusheng is righteous and sells me ten pairs of talisman paper at a cheap price."

"Ten mates?"

Zhan Yangchun heard the clue and blinked: "Brother Chen, it's not bad. It's quite good. It's not the same as me back then. Well, it should be the master's direct teachings, and you can understand it quickly."

Chen Tang couldn't help but say, "Actually, I have refined four paths in total."

"Four paths?"

Zhan Yangchun shouted, then turned red, and stood up and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that I had an appointment with the Third Master, so I said goodbye."

As he said that, he left in a hurry.

If you don’t leave, you will lose all your shame.

It wasn't Chen Tang intentionally slapped the face, but Zhan Yangchun himself had preconceived ideas and said something arrogant, which made it a little difficult to step down. When he got outside the door, he remembered that he didn't ask why his uncle could pass on his skills...

But everyone came out, so I was embarrassed to look back and ask, thinking, maybe my uncle thought that Chen Tang had the talent for practicing Taoism, which was equivalent to an opportunity.

"Invisible Talisman", Xiao Shu Er, belongs to one of the many magical techniques in Fushan Temple and is irrelevant.

Chen Tang learned it.

The problem is...

Can you not learn so well?

You should know that before this, Zhan Yangchun had asserted that it was difficult to practice Taoism with Chen Tang's age and qualifications.

After he left, Chen Tang could no longer talk. However, he believed that he would have a chance to get the truth about the demons and evil spirits in the future.

In the evening, after dinner early, he and Su Ling went out to the streets and visited the night market.
