Someone seemed to be talking in his ears, but the Fourth Master did not raise his head, let alone look around. This state examination was similar to the subsequent county examinations. They were both held in the main hall of the Yamen. There was not enough space for so many people in the main hall, and they were even arranged in the corridor outside.
Go up. The chief examiner is sitting in the main seat, and several deputy examiners, together with the state school's political and educational ministers and others, are wandering around the place. On average, there is one invigilator for almost ten candidates.
No one searched you when you came in, but that doesn't mean you have a chance to cheat. There are so many people talking so much, what do you really think? They would rather change the papers during the marking than scream in public like this.
People have grasped the handle.
This time I can bring amulets and other talismans with me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it next time. The Fourth Master is still thinking that since this talisman can be painted, something like carving it on a hairpin will not work. He thinks this
Well worth trying.
I tried my best to ignore the muttering, but the muttering still reached the Fourth Master's ears intermittently. Someone was saying: "...what a piece of crap...it doesn't make sense..."
Then his voice dropped again, as if he was refining his words.
He ignored it and answered his paper without changing his expression.
But except for Fourth Master, many people heard it. Some people thought it was other candidates talking to themselves, but it’s an exam, people should take exams, so they just pretended not to hear. But some people couldn’t sit still and thought this way
Look, I'm twisting and turning over there, thinking to myself, which of my dear friends dares to do this and that in this situation? It's a miracle that he hasn't been kicked out yet. There are more people looking around, and the gavel above has been slapped.
: "...If you don't abide by the rules of the examination room, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The examination room was suddenly shocked. Apart from the chanting, there was no other sound.
Many people regard this talkative man as someone with a tough backstage.
But when Fourth Master looked at the proctors walking back and forth, it seemed as if they couldn't hear these sounds at all.
As the Fourth Master was finishing his answer sheet, he heard someone say in his ear: "What a great article! What a pity, what a pity! What a pity that such a good article can only be used for the state examination!" He looked very regretful.
It seems that this is an old ghost who can't get out of the examination room. He has seen many examination papers, so he can make his own judgment.
Xu Xuan, who was sitting next to Fourth Master, was answering a question when he heard someone say in his ear: "The answers to the questions are mediocre and not bright. If the article does not show any ups and downs, it is destined to fail..."
When Xu Xuan heard the word "failed", his hand trembled, and ink spots almost fell on the article.
Who was talking? Xu Xuan was completely panicked. He looked here and there, and all he saw were people with their heads down answering questions, and no one was talking.
He frowned in confusion, and just as he was about to put down his pen, he heard the voice say again: "What's your answer? If you don't say that your article is not good, let's say... you can't pass the exam. The few husbands sitting at the end,
They all know the test questions in advance. You said you are like this...why bother to bother? Like me, I kept studying until I took the test, but in the end I got nothing. Not as good as mine, I have been an official for a long time, but I
What? Your luck is bad at this time. You can’t pass any exam. I’m not telling you, little husband, you really have no official luck at all in your life. On the contrary, you have been in jail several times. Go back! Don’t come back if you go back!”
These words were like a mosquito humming, repeating over and over again in my ears, with some kind of echo.
Just as he was upset and angry, the man said again: "Forget it, you must hate me to death right now. After you go back, I'm afraid you will hate me more and more. Coming and going, I have met so many people, and...
As long as you can calm down and listen to what I say, I will make it up to you and give you some pointers. Look to your right...do you see that person?"
right hand side?
Xu Xuan turned his face. On the right was the Mr. Jin who bought his ancestral home. He was a very nice man. His sister and brother-in-law said he looked very capable. He also knew him. He was a classmate. He couldn't help but click.
Head means seeing.
The voice said again: "This is a noble man. You must not offend him. It is best to make good friends with him. He can help you survive in adversity and keep you safe and wealthy for the rest of your life..."
Xu Xuan looked away from Fourth Master, couldn't help but look left and right, and asked in a low voice: "Who are you? Why can't I see you?"
As soon as I asked, the proctor next to me scolded me: "Don't talk. This is a warning. If you give it a second time, you will be disqualified."
Xu Xuan shrank his neck and heard the voice sigh: "You want money but no money, power but no power. You want literary talent, but you don't have literary talent. Those who come from poor backgrounds but are really talented have long been passed down.
You have a reputation. Not to mention whispering a word to them, even if you do something else, these people will not say anything. You are so weak by birth, and you have an honest and honest temper, and you are so gullible. Even a ghost like me,
I can't even bear to tell you nonsense..."
"Ah!" Xu Xuan couldn't help but cover his mouth, "Ghost? Are you a ghost?" He looked around, and the sweat on his head suddenly dropped.
He was too frightened and his voice was not quiet at all.
As soon as he made a sound, everyone looked towards him.
Xu Xuan looked at the livid faces of the examiners and hurriedly handed over his hands: "No... there is a ghost! There is a ghost! He... he... he was talking to me just now... he was talking to me... he kept mumbling.
Yes, didn’t you hear it? Didn’t you hear it?”
Everyone who heard the voice before felt terrified, yes! Someone really spoke. This is right. You can't speak in a low voice alone, so many people have heard it.
"It is totally unreasonable to confuse the public with such lies." The examiner above said: "Which county examinee is this? Drive him out! Drive him out."
After all, this is on the territory of Qiantang County. No matter what you say, Li Gongfu is very loyal and has made friends with some people. When something happened to his brother-in-law, the servant serving the tea quickly said: "
Sir, there were many candidates like this in previous years. Some of them went crazy after leaving school. There was also an old candidate who I met when I was young. He just died with relief after finishing the exam... This little husband also
It was considered good, so the little people immediately sent him to the doctor sitting in the hall to have a look..."
It is better to say that he is sick than to be punished. If you make lies in the examination room and confuse the public, even if you are beaten to death, your death will be in vain.
Lin Yutong was waiting for Fourth Master outside, and was listening to Xiaoqing say: "...I can't get into this place at all, you Peiyuan Dan..."
Then before he finished speaking, the door opened.
Lin Yutong stood up suddenly because Xu Xuan was pulled out.
Those servants were all acquaintances of Li Gongfu and had already rushed over to find Li Gongfu. The others rushed to the teahouse opposite.
Lin Yutong called to the second brother: "Hurry up and serve tea to the big brothers and charge it to my account."
"Hey! It's the lady of the Jin family. Madam, you are so polite." A few people came in to talk, and Xiaoqing looked at the unlucky Xu Xuan: "What's wrong with him?"
Xu Xuan was still in shock. When he saw Lin Yutong, he hurriedly said: "Brother Jin is out for this scene. Don't let Brother Jin go in. It's... inside... it's haunted in there!"
"Ghost?" Xiaoqing looked at him: "What ghost?"
"It's the chattering ghost." Xu Xuan took the tea he brought and drank it in one gulp. "It's the ghost..." He looked at the officer: "You also heard it, right?"
Several officers looked at me and looked at you: "Ms. Xu, please don't say this nonsense. If the official is in charge, there are no ghosts! If there are ghosts, doesn't it mean that the masters are not clear-minded and the scientific examination is unfair?"
"
"It's just unfair!" Xu Xuan said hurriedly: "That ghost said it all..."
"What did you say?" An older police officer quickly interrupted: "We didn't hear what you said. Why haven't you seen this gentleman yet?"
Others were busy interrupting, and asked Lin Yutong, why are you waiting here? After one exam, he went home. We are all from the hometown, and we are not going to other places, so there is no need to worry and wait. If you have nothing to say, talk to me.
Then Li Gongfu came running all the way, panting. He must have heard about it, and he bowed to everyone: "My brother-in-law is not sensible, thank you very much. We will put wine in the Xiqing Building tomorrow to thank you all." That's it.
These people had earned the favor and left in a hurry. They didn’t want to listen to Xu Xuan anymore.
Li Gongfu smiled awkwardly with Lin Yutong again. Xu Xuan wanted to talk over there, but Li Gongfu grabbed him and left. Lin Yutong could still hear Li Gongfu's voice inside: "...Listen to you...I don't want to hear anything you say."
... Do you know that this recommendation... was not easy to come by? You said you didn't take the exam well, and it's none of your business whether someone speaks up or not..."
Xiaoqing chuckled: "This nerd is quite interesting."
Lin Yutong shook his head: "It looks interesting to you, but his family is worried to death. If he doesn't know the ways of the world, wouldn't it be hard to get a foothold in this world?"
Xiao Qing was stunned: "If there is, there is, and if there is not, there is not. That nerd is not lying at first glance. On the contrary, all of the guards know that there is something fishy here, but no one dares to tell the truth. Huh! Humans are like that.
hypocritical."
Lin Yutong looked at her: "If you want to be you, you can do whatever you want. But if you want to be a human being, it's not that easy to be a normal human being."
Xiaoqing curled her lips, not sure if she understood what she said, so she just handed over the bottle of Peiyuan Pill: "I can't do what you want me to do. Give it back to you..."
"Take it." Lin Yutong handed it over: "Just think of it as the deposit I paid you. In the future... maybe you will need it."
Xiaoqing glanced at the bottle of Peiyuan Dan and finally took it. He handed Lin Yutong a jade bottle and said, "You can take this thing and don't take care of it. If you need to find me, tell me what's inside and I'll be there when you call me."
arrive."
Inside is a small caterpillar, probably not that big.
Lin Yutong put it away and pretended, and Xiaoqing took her leave.
When the fourth master came out, Lin Yutong didn't dare to ask in a hurry. It was only after he got home that he asked: "Aren't you peaceful?"
"It's okay, no evil spirits can come out of that place." What the guy said to Xu Xuan was heard by the Fourth Master. They were just the souls of the candidates who died in the examination room and did not dissipate because of their obsession.
This incident had little impact on Fourth Master, but it directly affected Xu Xuan's life.
"I can't get anything out of my studies." Mrs. Xu chatted with Lin Yutong when she met her: "I have given up now."
Lin Yutong knew that Mrs. Xu was really scared this time. This was not a question of good or bad knowledge. Not to mention ordinary knowledge, she was really good at knowledge. When she became an official in the future, she would really get into trouble because of her temperament.
The roots are established.
"Everything else is a matter of the future... The main thing is that he... got sick from fear when he came back, and now he can't get out of bed." Mrs. Xu felt so worried that she spent money to give the fifty taels of silver to her great-grandfather and aunt.
I don’t dare to tell anyone yet. In the blink of an eye, I’m already twenty during the New Year and have nothing. What will I do in the future?
As for Li Gongfu, he was first in the county government office, thinking of interceding with his grandfather. If that didn't work, he could make a living by copying and copying as a scribe. But how could anyone dare to want such a foolish young man?
I didn't find any here, so I went to the bookstore to see if there was anyone who could copy and write, even if I wanted to learn in the store. They agreed, "Okay! You can just call me over when you can."
Unexpectedly, because of this disease, Xu Xuan read medical books several times while recuperating at home. His ancestors were in the herbal medicine business, and when he was a child, he followed his father and was quite familiar with the medicinal properties of medicinal materials. From this point of view, it seems that
After seeing it, Li Gongfu said: "Go to the bookstore, where there are all scholars coming and going."
When talking to Mrs. Xu, she also said something that she couldn't say to Xu Xuan: "The shopkeeper Li of the bookstore only got a daughter when he was thirty years old, and he loves her like a pearl. That girl is already eighteen this year.
I haven’t found the right one yet…”
"There must be something bad about it." It's not surprising that Mrs. Xu thought so. Generally, girls who are delayed for such a long time must think that there is something wrong with this girl.
These words made Li Gongfu angry: "What do you know? People want property and wealth, but there is one thing they don't like, that is, they don't have a son. When this girl is old, she wants to find a gentle scholar and an honest man.
I am willing to obey my duty. But people are not willing to recruit such a scholar..."
"What do you mean? You want to ask my brother to marry you?" Mrs. Xu quit, and tears came down: "I knew that you said you didn't dislike it at that time, but you were just trying to coax me. We, the Xu family, are the only ones left.
The Chinese language is the only one left. If you ask him to recruit a wife, wouldn't it mean that you will destroy the roots of our Xu family? Li Gongfu, you...you...what are you thinking about?" As he said this, he couldn't help but pat his hand.
On Li Gongfu’s body.
Li Gongfu became even more angry. He stood up and hid for a moment: "Why do you want to recruit a wife or not? As long as you get married and have children in the future, one will follow the surname of the Li family and the other will follow the surname of the Xu family. That's it. I promised to give the eldest son the
Give the Li family an heir. The Li family's daughters are already that old, so they will agree to it. You said shopkeeper Li and his wife are almost fifty years old, how many years can they still be directors? In such a big shop, there are two entrances at the back of the shop.
The yard and the dozens of acres of paddy fields outside the city are not all owned by the daughter and son-in-law. Otherwise? What do you think we should do? Where can I find someone for Han Wen who doesn’t despise him for having no family, no job, and no place to stand?
Are the weak scholars going?"
This is naturally not unreasonable.
When the results of the fourth master's state examination came out and he passed with third place, Li Gongfu came to invite him and asked the fourth master to accompany the guests.
Lin Yutong was angry at home, why did Fourth Master only get third place in his paper?
The fourth master also advised: "If you really win the first place, there will be no ghosts in it, right?"
Yes! It seems to make sense.
If you are not so honest, you will be haunted.
Li Gongfu not only came to invite the fourth master, but also invited Lin Yutong: "Please come over and help us entertain our guests. Today we have invited the shopkeeper and my wife, and we also want to invite someone decent to help us entertain the guests."
Then go ahead.
For the sake of dignity, the two of them even brought a servant with them when they went out.
Because I passed the state examination, my status is a little different. After entering, Mrs. Li was very polite, and the girl following behind also smiled shyly at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong understood that he wanted to get married.
She was sitting with Mrs. Li and Miss Li chatting, and she could see the male guests outside through the curtain. The girl blushed when she saw Xu Xuan, lowered her head and pulled her mother's sleeves and kept shaking them.
When I came out, I was extremely satisfied.
Mrs. Li patted her daughter's hand and said to Lin Yutong, "You are making me laugh."
The men outside were also talking. The fourth master asked shopkeeper Li to help collect various miscellaneous books, but shopkeeper Li said: "Xiangongzhou has tried it, and the future is limitless. I'm afraid that looking for miscellaneous books will delay my husband's time...
…”
"My wife just came to kill time, it's okay." Fourth Master directly pushed Tongtong.
It's hard for others to talk about someone else's daughter-in-law, so they praised Tongtong in general, and then followed the topic of the state exam just now.
Shopkeeper Li felt uneasy, so he asked Xu Xuan, "Is Mr. Xu still prepared to pass the exam?" If he still wants to pass the exam, he will have to think about the marriage. Don't wait until someone becomes successful and fall out, as that will really harm your family.
child.
Xu Xuan shook his head: "No more exams."
Shopkeeper Li had just put his mind at ease when he heard Xu Xuan say: "Nowadays, the people who pass the scientific examination are all those who are eager to pass the exam. Those who have real talent and practical knowledge may not necessarily stand out. But those who are rich and powerful will definitely
To get ahead. In such a world, there is no point in becoming an official. It would be better to..."
What's more, before he could say anything, shopkeeper Li's face changed. He laughed twice and carefully looked at the fourth master's face.
Fourth Master waved his hands indifferently: "Brother Xu said yes."
Li Gongfu also belatedly realized that his brother-in-law's words seemed to have a big impact, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Jin is definitely not included in this."
It's better not to explain.
Shopkeeper Li chuckled twice and stopped talking about the scientific examination. He only talked about some experiences of traveling around.
The food was quite sumptuous, and Mrs. Xu cooked it herself. But before they left the house, both Lin Yutong and the fourth master knew that the marriage would not work out. Shopkeeper Li was so old, and he would never leave his daughter and property to a man who was ignorant of the world.
people.
Li Gongfu was very disappointed, but Mrs. Xu was disappointed on the one hand, and relieved on the other hand, "If you don't succeed, you can't do it! It's not because of the fate. I still don't believe it. A child who is so good at Chinese will not meet a child."
Good girl."
Lin Yutong doesn't have to worry about these things. After all, Xu Xuan still has Lady White to take care of it, and it has nothing to do with other people's other matters. What she is busy with now is learning to draw talismans and trying to make elixirs. As for Fourth Master, in addition to preparing for the provincial examination,
He also tried to engrave the talismans on wooden tablets and jade tablets to see if placing them on other carriers would have any effect.
When I was busy with these things, time passed quickly. In my impression, I didn’t seem to have spent much time celebrating the New Year in the south.
Winter in Hangzhou does not make people feel comfortable. People who are used to staying in the north can't stand the cold when they go to the south. This kind of cold is the kind of dampness. When winter comes, it rains every three days and is damp.
It was cold, as if the seams between the bones were cold. At this time, Lin Yutong particularly missed the heated kang in the north, and did not dare to dream of burning the earth dragon's house. It would be good to have a heated kang.
But even a warm bed is hard to come by.
The weather is too cold, and the mud bricks used to build the kang cannot be used at all, and this thing is particularly susceptible to moisture. If it is moved here as it is, it will definitely not work.
How to do it?
Charcoal basin.
This is the only way to stay warm.
Of course, it’s not a good idea to stuff the quilt with a soup woman, because the temperature is uneven. So, as soon as winter comes, the two people who originally slept under separate quilts merge into one quilt again, and they have to cling to each other to keep warm.
During this period, Lin Yutong will not disturb Xiaoqing, because according to the snake's habits, this month is her laziest month, and it is the time to hibernate. Even the little carp eats less. After being out for a day, Lin Yutong will not disturb Xiaoqing.
, can't move a few times.
During this period, Xinghua wanted to get close to her a few times, but it seemed that she was quite afraid of Xiao Li. Perhaps she saw what happened to Xiao Li, but she never appeared in Lin Yutong's sight again.
The life suddenly became more comfortable, and I almost forgot about the messy and annoying creatures in this world.
It's Chinese New Year, and there are only two masters and four servants in the family, so the Chinese New Year is also very simple.
Neither of them have any relatives, that is, the neighbors want to pay New Year's greetings. For example, Li Gongfu's family, who has a good relationship with each other, can prepare slightly better gifts. In addition, the master's family has to pay a formal visit, and then the county magistrate, no matter what other people say
There is also the grace of recommendation.
After bringing things to the door, the fourth master went to the front, and Lin Yutong went to the back to meet the master's wife. When he just entered the second door, he met the aunt and grandma first. Lin Yutong stuffed a small box in and said, "I just said I wanted to visit. Today
I saw you and I stopped by to wish you a happy New Year, so don’t be offended."
The aunt's smile became more sincere: "I want to tell you something important. My wife's natal sister-in-law's brother-in-law is Mr. Lin, a scholar." After saying that, she walked forward with a smile.
Does this mean that you want to follow the path of the great master and his wife?
Forget it. Recommendation is a stepping stone. Just take this step and leave the rest... no need.
As long as the article is good and as long as you are not directly eliminated, the ranking does not matter. Recommendation is just to get an opportunity. The state examination is a real test, and the provincial examination will definitely be able to pass it.
Therefore, it was just a normal meeting ceremony. Lin Yutong was not enthusiastic, but the lady was very enthusiastic: "...I wonder what the Jin family's maiden name is?"
"My surname is Lin." Lin Yutong smiled: "I heard that my wife is from Kyoto."
"Yes! She is from Kyoto." Mrs. Taiye looked at Lin Yutong and sized her up: "Do you have any relatives in Kyoto? To tell you the truth, I always feel that I have a good face."
"My mother-in-law is also from Kyoto." Lin Yutong said in a general way: "It doesn't matter where I met Madam."
"May I ask Madam who her natal family is..." When she asked, Lin Yutong quickly said: "A small family is not worthy of being asked by a lady."
The lady didn't ask anymore, and she didn't know whether she believed it or not.
Believe it or not, Lin Yutong felt that now was not a good time to find her natal family for her original self.
After the first lunar month, Mrs. Xu came to the door again. This time she came to ask Lin Yutong to do something fancy. "I made a spring shirt for my brother. Our brother found a job for Han Wen in the drug store. Let's do it first."
Come on."
"That's a good thing." The story was still following the original track, Lin Yutong said: "I heard that my ancestor was in the herbal medicine business. Mr. Xu has been practicing in the medicine shop for two years, and he will definitely be able to resume his ancestral business..."
This is a good thing.
He obviously went out to work for others, but it was said that he went out to practice for his ancestral business. This is a good saying, and it makes people feel comfortable when hearing it.
Mrs. Xu left in a happy mood. When she got home, she said to Li Gongfu: "If Hanwen could find someone like Mrs. Jin, I would have nothing to worry about."
Li Gongfu heard something go in and out of one ear, and only after he left the door did he say: "Dream!"
Lin Yutong didn't pay attention to other people's affairs. He only discussed with Fourth Master that he would find a time to go to the temple to ask the great monk about these Qi training methods.
The fourth master said: "February 29th."
February 29th is the Christmas day of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Going to the temple to offer incense on that day also has the same meaning.
This time, both of them were very formal. They fasted three days in advance, took a special shower before going, and prepared to go to Yongfu Temple to see the great monk.
Nowadays, the custom of worshiping Buddha is particularly strong, and there is an endless stream of people going out of the city. It took a long time just to wait for the boat.
When walking up the mountain, Fourth Master regretted, "I still chose the wrong time."
There are so many pilgrims, and the great monk is very busy. He doesn't have enough time to give advice on how to practice Qi.
But after going up the mountain, something surprising happened. It was the same young novice monk waiting at the door: "The two nobles are here, the master is waiting in the Zen room..."
I really ignored people's ability to figure things out. Everyone knows who comes and who doesn't.
Pushing open the Zen room, the great monk was not alone. Sitting opposite the great monk, there was another monk who looked younger, but judging from the aura of this monk, his cultivation level was probably not low.
The great monk stood up with a smile and saluted: "The two donors have come from afar, and they are greeted at a distance."
Lin Yutong smiled in return and handed the food box over: "This is a vegetarian snack. I made it myself. You can try it."
Before the elder monk could speak, the young monk suddenly stood up and looked at the Fourth Master: "This donor is willing to sacrifice his life to become a monk..."
Um?
Lin Yutong suddenly changed his expression and looked at the great monk: "What do you mean? Are all the monks in the temple so rude? Before he said a word, he asked his husband to become a monk in front of his wife.
What’s the point of this?”
The great monk looked embarrassed: "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" After saying that, he looked at the young monk: "This is the poor monk's junior brother Fahai, in Jinshan Temple..."
"Fa Hai?" Lin Yutong and Fourth Master looked at each other, "This is really true..." Why do you like to ask people to become monks so much?
Fahai looked at the two people, and then stared into the fourth master's eyes: "The donor is full of dragon aura, which is the aura of an emperor who rules over the world... As the saying goes, there are no two masters in the sky... There is only the second person in the world who has the aura of an emperor.
Angry people, this is a sign of cholera in the world... In order to protect the people of the world from the ravages of war, I hope the donor will put down his obsessions and convert to Buddhism..."
Convert to Buddhism?
Fuck your motherfucker!
What obsession!
Does Fourth Master want to be emperor? It’s not like he’s never done it before! As for having some bullshit obsession? I don’t know enough, so I just say he’s ambitious.
Lin Yutong was about to speak when he was grabbed by Fourth Master. He smiled, and the curve of his mouth became wider and wider: "Master is saying...I have been feeling irritable lately. If I have the opportunity, I can lecture to Master."
Talking about Taoism, I think it should always be of some benefit..."
Fahai probably didn't expect Fourth Master to say this, and the expression on his face suddenly softened: "It's good if the donor knows the truth of turning back and resolving the consequences." He then looked at Lin Yutong, "The female donor is young but has infinite merits. I think so.
I have been cultivated by good people for several lifetimes, but I still hope that the female benefactor..."
"Okay!" The great monk interrupted Fahai directly: "Junior brother, don't you still want to hold a forum to lecture on the Dharma? It's almost time..."
Fahai did not disobey this time. When he went out, he said to the fourth master: "I am a poor monk waiting for the donor..."
Fourth Master returned the favor and sent him out politely.
Seeing that Lin Yutong's expression was not good, the great monk here said apologetically: "My junior brother... is already crazy, but he doesn't know it..." Without saying anything, he suddenly paused.
He raised his right hand, tapped his thumb on his index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, then looked up at the sky, and then sighed: "...a calamity...a calamity..." He waved his hand and looked towards the sky.
The fourth master and Lin Yutong said: "You two, please come back. Our fate is over here...the donor does not need to come again..." After saying that, before the fourth master and Lin Yutong could say anything else, the big monk had already called the little ones outside.
Novice: "Send off guests!"
This was sent out.
I don't even know why, it's just baffling.
First, Fahai wanted to save the fourth master and become a monk, and then the great monk said something about the calamity.
Whose fate is this?
After the two left, the great monk went into seclusion and told the young novice: "If Master Fa Hai comes, tell him that the poor monk is in seclusion and no one will come."
"Master!" The little novice monk asked, "Why?"
"Why?" The great monk closed his eyes: "I thought it was an opportunity, but I didn't expect...it turned into a disaster. Fa Hai...it's a pity..."
"What calamity?" the little novice monk asked confusedly.
The great monk shook his head, but seemed not to have heard what the little novice monk said: "...That's right, there is a King Kong in Buddhism, let alone a human emperor..."
The little novice monk couldn't hear anything else he said. He stood up gently and cleaned up the Zen room for the big monk. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the golden bowl. He was curious and couldn't help but take a second look. But at this glance, he
I couldn't help but screamed. I saw a picture reflected in the originally dark golden bowl with no bottom. A huge white snake body was circling inside, and then layer by layer.
The snake's skin peels off, revealing its human form.
"Master...Master..." He kept retreating in panic: "Monster...Monster..."
The great monk waved his hand and was about to hit the golden bowl, but a strong wind roared outside and snatched the golden bowl away: "Brother, why are you doing this?"
The great monk sighed: "That's all! It's God's will." He pushed the little novice out with a wave of his hand, then closed the door of the meditation room tightly, and he really went into retreat.
But she said that Lin Yutong was still a little angry all the way back, but the Fourth Master laughed at her: "Are you afraid that I will become a monk?"
Lin Yutong looked at him: "You dare to leave me and try?"
The Fourth Master laughed and said, "I can't bear to part with it!" After saying that, he touched her head.
In an instant, the sky was clear.
Lin Yutong jumped for joy: "I'll ask about Jinshan Temple when I get back."
"No need!" Fourth Master said, pointing back: "It would be too deliberate to ask... Just wait and see."
I didn't want to talk to him at first, but who knows if Fahai is a dog and he will bite whomever he catches. The fourth master is full of dragon energy, which cannot be explained, but it is too much to arbitrarily say that he is ambitious and wants to rebel. If this word spreads
Can you go out and make it? Big rivers and big waves have come over, so you can't fall into the gutter of Fahai. After all, they don't have a script for how other worlds will go. But this time is different. If they knew the script in advance, they would still be able to survive.
It was such an unjust death if it was ruined.
Therefore, Lin Yutong, who originally didn't pay much attention to the main plot, began to observe silently.
First there is Xu Xuan, this guy was sent to a drug store as an apprentice by his sister and brother-in-law. He is not good at reading, but he still has some talent for studying medicine. He does not have to be strong-tempered, and his character does not have any flaws. The only flaws in his character are
Let’s not go into details now. Let’s just say that his temperament is suitable for being a clerk or an apprentice. He is very obedient and does whatever he is told. He will not cheat at all. Therefore, if the errand is done, the master is satisfied, and he himself is also satisfied.

…”
"Tell me if you robbed it, but someone gave it to me. You stinking Taoist priest don't believe it..." Xiao Qing transformed into a human form and stood in the air, "How about you don't believe it..."
"Of course the poor monk doesn't believe it." The old Taoist snorted softly: "You evil beast, why don't you die?" As he said that, he hit Xiaoqing with the Buddha dust in his hand, and Xiaoqing vomited blood and fell down. She

…”
"You still dare to be harsh?" The old Taoist took out the whisk in his hand and tattooed it on Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing's eyes widened and she thought to herself: Is hundreds of years of Taoism coming to an end?
Just when she didn't know what she was feeling, she saw a flash of white light in front of her eyes, and a white sword lifted her up, narrowly dodging the blow.
