Chapter 357: Fourth child, fourth child, I miss you so much
"Shaobing~~big and round shaobing!"
“Fried gourd~~”
"Wenbaozhai has a new batch of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. If you are a book-loving Yake, you might as well come into the store and have a look!"
The market is noisy, shouting and hawking, and there is an endless stream of hip-hop and slapstick sounds. The bustling crowds of people passing by look at the two Taoist priests, one big and one small, in the street with surprised eyes. You must know that Buddhism flourished in the Southern Dynasty, and there were thousands of temples and tens of thousands of monks.
, Taoist priests are almost extinct or practice in the mountains. It seems strange to walk on the street like this.
Chen Yuan walked behind the fat Taoist master and apprentice, and received relatively little attention. His sleeves were breezy and his clothes were simple. No matter how he looked at it, no one would notice.
After entering the city, I asked the waiters of nearby restaurants to find out where the theater troupe was. I walked over there while looking at the street scene. The pavilion where the theater troupe was located was at the intersection of three long streets. It had three floors and was quite gorgeous.
Unfortunately, there was a note of closure on the door, and Chen Yuan felt regretful that he couldn't see the furnishings inside.
"Old man, why isn't this troupe open?"
Turning back to the street, he happened to see someone coming out of the shop next door. Chen Yuan stepped forward to greet him. The old man returned the gift, glanced at the theater not far away, stepped aside and whispered: "My husband, you are looking for this show."
What's going on in the building? I advise you, don't go to the theater. I heard that this building is unclean and evil."
Chen Yuan raised her eyebrows. She was standing outside the door just now. She didn't feel any evil spirit, but she still smiled and asked: "What's wrong, the leader of this theater didn't ask an expert to come and exorcise evil spirits?"
"
"I tried to find him, but it was a master from Gaotang Temple outside the city. It was no use. Instead, he was beaten so badly that he ran back to the temple."
"Well then, it's great to meet us."
The fat Taoist hugged the Taoist boy and came over with a smile. Compared with his previous blustering temper, he had calmed down a lot. "This blessed master, does he know where the theater leader lives?"
In fact, what he said was in favor of Chen Yuan. He was a Taoist priest, so it seemed reasonable to ask the disciples to exorcise ghosts.
After all, if Taoist priests don't come to the door, they will definitely come to relieve disasters.
The old man looked at the two Taoist priests, one big and one small, nodded, and pointed to the street on the right, "This Taoist priest just go that way, keep walking along the right, and you will see a courtyard with Li Zhai written on it."
The door is right there."
After thanking the old man, Chen Yuan and his disciples, the Fat Taoist, immediately turned to that street. Compared with the bustling side here, it was a little quieter. It was a street where the wealthy people in the city lived. After walking a short distance, they found a single-family house.
's large mansion.
"Master is here!"
After there were fewer people, the little Taoist boy ran forward and looked around. He finally stopped in front of the second courtyard gate and excitedly pointed at the plaque on the courtyard gate.
"Yingxian, how can you be impatient and impetuous!" Sun Zhengde scolded him with a serious expression. He looked at Chen Yuan and smiled quickly, "Children, while he is young, yell a few more words to avoid growing up.
If you yell again, you won’t obey orders.”
"oh."
The little Taoist boy lowered his head and responded, then raised his head again and said with a smile: "Master, can I knock on the door?"
"Okay." This was what Chen Yuan replied on behalf of the fat Taoist. The little Taoist boy knew how powerful this teacher was. When he spoke, the master naturally spoke. He turned around, clenched his little fist, and knocked on the door a few times.
Down.
squeak~~
The painted red door opened a crack for a moment, revealing half of the old man's face. He looked at the little Taoist boy at the door suspiciously, and then his eyes fell on the fat Taoist priest walking up the stone steps. "Taoist priest, you are late.
Our master has invited an expert, please go back."
They probably regarded the fat Taoist as a mage who was recruiting to exorcise evil spirits.
"This old man, we are not here to exorcise ghosts." Chen Yuan stepped forward. His long beard and wide robe gave people a comfortable feeling. The old concierge looked up and down before speaking: "Sir, you guys
Why are you looking for the master's house?"
"It's nothing, I just want to give your master a message."
Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Third senior brother, can the bedding be changed and washed?"
"That's it?" The old man at the concierge thought that Chen Yuan and others were here to play tricks on him, but when he heard the word 'senior brother', he hesitated: "Then... sir, and this Taoist priest, please wait outside the door for a moment while I go in.
Let me know."
Then he closed the door again, hunched his back step by step, and walked slowly to the front yard. Knowing that the shopkeeper of the silk shop had left this morning, the old man brought a young man over near noon, saying he was from Canglan Mountain.
The master should still be talking to the master in the hall right now.
After bypassing the Feng Shui wall, the door of the hall in front was open, and the voice of the silk shop owner was coming from inside.
"Master, that's what happened. I accidentally got acquainted with this Canglan Mountain master who came down from the mountain to practice. As soon as he heard that there was something evil going on in our theater, he volunteered to come."

"Leader Li, you are a rich man from Jiangcheng County, and your horizons are broader than ordinary people. You must have heard of Canglan Mountain, right? I am a disciple of the mountain sect. I traveled along the river and happened to come here."
Opposite the shopkeeper of the silk shop, there was a young man in brocade clothes. He had a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and his gestures and casual words were quite grand, which made Li San, who was sitting upright in the first place, couldn't help but nod.
"Canglan Mountain... I have heard some rumors that there is an extraordinary master in the mountain. Unfortunately, I have never seen it. When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary. I just don't know how this man can ward off evil spirits. How come I haven't seen you yet?"
Magic weapon?"
Magic weapon...
The young man frowned slightly, a little surprised that Li San knew the word magic weapon.
'It seems that he has seen some things about the world.'
He thought, kept smiling, and patted a long sword on his waist, "This is a magic weapon. In my Canglan lineage, I mostly use swords as weapons."
Just as he was talking, the old concierge was already standing at the door, looked here twice, and called in a low voice.
"Master, I have something to disturb you."
"What's the matter?" Li San was quite relaxed towards the servants. He picked up the tea cup and blew on it, then joked with a smile: "It's not an important matter. I'll let the master accept you later!"
"this……"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old concierge was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke: "Outside the door, a gentleman came... He said he wanted to bring a message to the host's family. He said
:Third senior brother, can the bedding be changed and washed?”
Boom!
The tea cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The shopkeeper of the silk shop had never seen such an expression on the head of the class who had experienced a storm. Li San, who was in the first place, had his eyes widened and his expression was dull. He just kept holding the tea cup.
He was motionless, as if he was trapped in memories.
"Master?" The shopkeeper of the silk shop called.
Over there, Li San came back to his senses, regained his sluggishness, and instantly had a surprised smile on his face. He slapped his chubby palms on the table with excitement, and there was a "Peng" sound. Then he stood up from the chair and walked out.
Call the old concierge and hurry to the courtyard gate to welcome the person in.
"Master, what's wrong with you... The master is still here..." The shopkeeper of the silk shop quickly got up and chased after him, "The master is still talking to us about exorcism..."
Without waiting for him to speak, Li San, who had walked to the threshold, paused and quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "My fourth child is back. What kind of evil can you drive away? With him here, you are not afraid of any evil. You can send the master away for me."
Bar!"
After saying that, he picked up the hem of his robe, twisted his fat body and ran towards the courtyard gate, shouting as he ran.
"Fourth!"
"Fourth brother, I'm here, senior brother, I miss you so much."
The voice faded away, leaving only the shopkeeper and the young master in the hall, stunned on the spot. The two looked at each other, and their expressions darkened.
…
Chen Yuan walked into the house, went down the stone steps, and heard a familiar voice calling him from a distance.
Behind the Feng Shui wall, a fat old man with a plump figure but already showing his age ran faster than usual with the hem of his robe in hand. When he saw Chen Yuan, his smile made his eyes turn red.
"Third Senior Brother." Twenty years later, Chen Yuan could still recognize the outline of San'er, and he raised his hands to meet the approaching figure.
"Fourth!"
Li San directly held Chen Yuan's raised hand and looked up and down with wet red eyes, "Except for growing a beard, you haven't changed at all. Let's go and talk to senior brother in the inner room."
He spoke quickly, while pulling Chen Yuan, he called the steward who came in a hurry, "Go and instruct the cook to hold a banquet tonight, then go to the backyard to call the wife, and say that our fourth son, our great benefactor, is coming to see me."
This is senior brother!"
The steward had never seen his master be so attentive, so he didn't dare to neglect. He responded several times and rushed to the courtyard with his two servants.
"Fourth brother, just come back and call this place your home. You can stay here as long as you want."
After passing the Feng Shui wall and returning to the front yard, Li San couldn't bear to let go all the way and kept talking endlessly. At this time, the shopkeeper coming out of the hall saw Chen Yuan, greeted him politely, and immediately invited him
The young men around him left together.
The moment the two sides crossed each other, the young master pressed the sword tip without leaving any trace, and the bottom of the sheath opened with a swish, sweeping away Chen Yuan's thigh. Chen Yuan didn't even look at it, and walked naturally, with his raised knee gently pressing against the end of the sheath, lightly
He flicked it back nonchalantly, and then walked to the hall with the fat Taoist and Li San. The little Taoist boy turned around and made a face at the two shopkeepers who passed by.
"Slightly, slightly..."
"This little Taoist boy..."
The young man withdrew his gaze and followed the silk shop owner straight out of the courtyard with a gloomy expression.
