The rain seemed to have become heavier.

The raindrops hit the eaves, making a snap sound, echoing in the courtyard.

Chen Zi'ang showed a blank look, looking at the rain flowing down the roof, but he didn't answer for a long time.

It’s not that he didn’t want to answer, but he didn’t know how to answer. He thought that Chen Zi'ang, a young man, was also a Shehong Yiba. Later, he followed Zheng Sanniang’s persuasion and abandoned martial arts and practiced literature. With his talent, he finally became the top scorer in high school.

At that time, he was full of passion and wanted to make a career.

But he was born at the wrong time. Although he had a lot of ambitions, he ended up just saying, "I didn't see the ancients in front of me, and I didn't see the coming from behind. I missed the vastness of the world, and I burst into tears." To be honest, he had been in politics for many years and had not made much political achievements.

Famous in the literary world?

To be honest, Chen Zi'ang doesn't value it.

It was just an auxiliary means. He actually knew very well how useful that reputation was in his career.

This is an era where people and relationships are emphasized everywhere.

In fact, this seems to have not changed throughout the millennium.

Even if you are selected for the imperial examination, the same is true. Scholars like to rely on the powerful and noble people. Even if the clans no longer have their lofty status as they did in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it would be difficult to maintain a high position without their support. Chen Zi'ang was even more deeply affected.

If he had both legs in place, he would have made a request to Yang Shouwen without hesitation.

But now...

He has no offspring and no hope. What should he do in the future?

When Chen Zi'ang thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at Yang Shouwen and suddenly said, "Qingzhi, do you value Sun Chuxuan very much?"

Yang Shouwen was stunned and then said, "Those who are talented and willing to act can be met but not seek it; those who are talented but unwilling to act can be desirable. There are many people who are talented and unwilling to act can be as numerous as those who are crossing the river. Sun Changshi is talented and willing to act can be desirable, so how can I not pay attention to it?"

Chen Zi'ang said: "Sun Chuxuan is indeed talented.

However, because of Duan Jian, he had no chance in his career in his life. Since Qingzhi belonged to this person, it was his blessing... In this case, I had a plan, but Sun Chuxuan was desperate and finally came to serve Qingzhi. What if he didn't want Qingqing?"

"What's the plan?"

"I don't ask if Qingzhi, I have my own opinions."

After Chen Zi'ang finished speaking, he smiled without saying a word.

He looked quiet, and he did not have the impetuousness he had when he met at Xiao Xumi Temple in Hugu Mountain that day.

Yang Shouwen's eyes squinted unconsciously. He suddenly realized that Chen Zi'ang in front of him had indeed become somewhat unfathomable.

It’s hard to suffer, sometimes it’s really a good teacher and friend for people to grow up.

Of course, if it were not forbidden, no one would be willing to accept that suffering...

They chatted with Chen Zi'ang until late before the two separated.

Yang Shouwen first visited Li Guer. After seeing her sleep, he went to see Youniang again, and accompanied Youniang for a while and coaxed her to fall asleep.

It’s not that he favors one or the other, but that his young mother is too lonely.

She knew no one in this Chen Mansion. Apart from Yang Shouwen, there seemed to be only four mastiffs by her side.

Old Niuto was close to her, but because of her low status, she could not enter the inner house.

Therefore, Yang Shouwen could only give her more care, which was a kind of compensation for her young lady's wandering around the world over the past three years.

Of course, the young lady was also very satisfied.

As long as she can be with Yang Shouwen, she will be very happy...

The next morning, Li Qing sent someone to ask Yang Shouwen to discuss military affairs.

However, Yang Shouwen used the excuse of physical discomfort and politely rejected Li Qing's invitation. He didn't want to get involved in Zizhou too much, and the left and right were ready to leave, so why bother to join in the fun? Li Qing invited him to go because Yang Shouwen had saved him at the ferry that day, which was also a kind of respect for him. But in fact? He was afraid that only he himself knew whether he would like Yang Shouwen to go. Yang Shouwen was not the kind of person who was ungrateful. People respected him, but he was unwilling to be arrogant.

What's more, he has more important things today...

"Brother Sitzi, don't you really need me to accompany you?"

When Yang Shouwen went out, the young lady held his hand and asked.

Yang Shouwen smiled and shook his head, patted her little head, and whispered: "I'm happy to accompany Buer at home, don't mess around.

After I finish dealing with the matter here, we will return to Luoyang."

When the young lady heard this, she agreed obediently.

Yang Shouwen walked out of Chen's mansion, looked at each other with Mingxiu, moved his saddle and picked up the stirrups, and sat on his horse.

The two of them immediately rode out of the market and headed straight to the gate of Shehong County. The one who was on duty at the gate today was Su Changshi. He and Yang Shouwen were old acquaintances, so they did not stop them, so they opened the checkpoint and let them out of the city.

After shooting from the flood, the two of them walked westward.

About ten miles away, I saw a saddle-shaped mountain peak, lying in front of me.

The mountain is named Jinhua Mountain, and it is named after a Jinhua Temple in the mountain. According to legend, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a alchemist Chen Xun came here to build a hut to practice Taoism and seek immortality. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, he ordered a very large Taoist temple to be built in the mountain.

"I remember that Chen Zi'ang had studied here back then."

Mingxiu stopped his horse and pointed to Jinhua Mountain and smiled, "I asked Liang Jiu, and he told me that Chen Zi'ang was Shehong Yiba. Later, after somehow he was stimulated, he abandoned martial arts and followed the literature, and studied hard in this Jinhua Temple for ten years..."

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

Yang Shouwen replied with a smile, looking at the scenery in front of him.

The mountain in front of Jinhua Mountain is the main peak. There is a hundred-foot bridge at the foot of the mountain, and there is a stone tablet at the end of the bridge with handwriting carved on it.

Yang Shouwen got off his horse and walked forward, and saw the stone tablet saying "The crane dances in a thousand years of trees, and the rainbow flies to a hundred feet of bridge" written on it.

"This is Chen Zi'ang's "Climbing Jinhua". The first hundred-foot bridge is named after the poem "Rainbow Flying Hundred-foot Bridge".

Let’s walk with our horses, and after crossing this bridge, we will be Jinhua Temple.

Zhao Taibin said that Jinhuaguan’s vegetarian food is She Hong Yijue. I have heard that today we can find out.”

"I'm afraid it's not Zhao Taibin's request, but Silang, you are greedy."

"Hahaha, those who know me are the ones who are green."

Mingxiu laughed, but suddenly changed his mind and said softly: "Zhao Taibin is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is not easy to convince him.

Qingzhi, do you have a sabbatical case?"

Yang Shouwen frowned and shook his head and said, "I have no abdominal crook, I'll just take one step and look at it."

Having a chat with Chen Zi'ang last night gave him some ideas.

Although Zhao Rui was extremely talented, if he was unruly and unwilling to bow his head, he would not force him. After all, the forced melon is not sweet. Instead of forcing Zhao Rui, it would be better to let him finish the long and short scriptures and live his hermit life. Yang Shouwen did not want the planner he had found after all his hardships to become the same service as me! In that case, it would be meaningless.

The two of them said, leading their horses across the Hundred-foot bridge.

After crossing the Hundred-foot bridge, following more than thirty stone steps on the upper left, you will reach the front mountain gate of Jinhua Temple.

At first glance, the layers of stone steps are straight up to the top of the mountain, with ancient cypresses on both sides, surrounded by clouds and mist, which has a bit of the charm of a fairy mountain outside the world.

And outside the mountain gate, there was a Taoist boy waiting.

Seeing Yang Shouwen and the others coming, the Taoist boy stepped forward and bowed and said, "Wuliang Taiyi saved Tianzun, how dare you ask if it were two lay Buddhists Yang and Ming?"

“That’s right.”

"The uncle of Dongyanzi ordered the path to wait for the two great masters to come here.

The uncle set up a banquet in the back mountain, and ask two lay Buddhists to come with the path..."

Zhao Rui entered the Taoist in his early years, and the Taoist name was Dongyanzi.

He was quite famous among the Taoist sects in the Bashu area, so it was not surprising that this little Taoist boy called him "Uncle Master".

Yang Shouwen and the others handed the horse to the little Taoist boy. When the Taoist boy waved, a few more Taoist priests from Huoju came up and took the reins. The Taoist boy immediately led the way in front, while Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu followed him and walked slowly along the stone steps.

The stone steps vary in length and are quite steep.

However, as the Taoist boy walked, he felt like he was walking on the flat ground, without any effort. It was obvious that he had the skills to do it.

While leading the way, he introduced the scenery along the way to Yang Shouwen and the others. Although he had a little accent, it was enough for Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu to understand.

"Mr. Taibin is so comfortable. He actually chose such a scenery, and he is a great master."

Mingxiu was attracted by the scenery along the way and was amazed all the way.

The three of them walked through the back of the ancestor's palace, and then went out to the Taoist temple on the side door and came to the back mountain.

A distance away, I saw a thatched hut built on the top of the mountain. In front of the thatched hut, there was a square pavilion built. Zhao Rui was dressed in Taoist clothes and sat upright in the square pavilion... (To be continued.)
