Another half a month passed, and it was almost New Year's Eve.
Chen State, the capital.
At this time, it was the New Year's Day. The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful, and people came and went. A young Taoist priest shook his spirit in his left hand and held a banner in his right. Word, there is a blue bird in his arms to probe his brain.
Beside the Taoist priest, followed by a little Taoist boy of four or five years old, with a compass hanging around his neck, a mahogany sword on his back, and a serious voice with a milky voice on his face, "Therefore, according to the old legend, it is better than astrology. Purple Dou…”
Two Taoists, one big and one small, were Jingyue and Qin Yanzhi.
The two of them only came to the capital today. As soon as they entered the boundary of the capital, Jing Yue found a vision in the sky, and the purple air in the sky was mixed with wisps of black air.
Jing Yue squinted his eyes, the purple qi symbolized the fortune of the country, and it could last for more than a hundred years, but now the black qi is growing, and the purple qi is being eroded a little bit. Maybe it will take a few years before the purple qi will be completely blackened. gas instead.
The two found an inn at random, but the shopkeeper said that there was no room left, "This year is the year of spring, and we live here with a lot of people. I'm really sorry, why don't you go to Taoyuan Lane and take a look? There are also some residential houses there. A converted inn."
Jingyue inquired about the specific location, and took Qin Yanzhi around the bustling street and turned into a secluded alley.
Soon, they settled down in a small inn in Taoyuan Lane.
After everything was sorted out, Jingyue came down to the first floor of the inn. At this time, it was dinner time, and many poor students gathered to chat, exchange articles, and discuss current affairs.
Only one Facebook student said: "Master Wang has always been a clean and honest official, but because he did not join forces with corrupt officials, he was framed by them together. If the Master of the National Teacher hadn't clearly detected and punished this gang of corrupt officials, Master Wang would have died unjustly. ?"
Another scholar with a big nose immediately retorted, "What's the point of scrupulousness? Those corrupt officials were recommended by King Ning back then, so how could King Ning not know about this? If the national teacher really wants to make decisions for the people, what is it to catch some small fish and shrimp? Why did you leave King Ning unattended?"
"The imperial censor has repeatedly sued the royal family for greed with ink for disaster relief, and some even used official punishment for private purposes, but the national teacher has always turned a blind eye!"
The words of the big nose scholar drew a chorus of echoes, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
"The royal family has been dying violently for years, and it is also retribution!"
"I heard that King Ning's body and bones are not good recently..."
But there are those who are naturally vigilant: "You guys are so brave, stop talking, be careful that the walls have ears."
The big nose scholar snorted softly and said, "What are you afraid of? The prisoners in Beijing are all dedicated to guarding hundreds of officials. How can there be no time to take care of poor scholars like us?"
Another person sighed: "After so many years of picketing, corrupt officials are still repeatedly banned. Many people are officials for wealth and power. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If they are not motivated by interests, they have no intention of being in the people. The court has this skill, It’s better to do more things that can benefit the people.”
At this time, a plainly dressed but very spirited scholar said: "But if you are an official instead of making decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Is there any reason for a corrupt official?"
The man earlier shook his head and said, "It's not easy to live in Beijing. If officials only rely on their salary to survive, it will be difficult for them. Sometimes it's not the officials who want to be greedy. They also have to take care of their relatives, manage their colleagues and go to the peak, and that's enough salary. Do what?"
The plainly dressed scholar argued: "Everyone is preparing for the imperial examinations, and everyone has the possibility of becoming an official. You are just paving the way for your future self. From the bottom of your heart, you have recognized the word 'greed'. "
The man was kind, but his intention was misunderstood, he pulled his face down on the spot, and walked away.
The simple scholar also said angrily: "Yes, everyone knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, but someone needs to clean up the fish pond from time to time. If the water is mixed, there will be no fish! Some people do not think of ways to improve the current situation. The reason is ridiculous!"
He took a sip of water angrily, and heard someone around him ask, "I wonder if this young master has a good plan?"
The scholar turned back and saw a young Taoist priest standing behind him with a little Taoist boy, looking at him with a smile. Daoist life is very clear, and Daotong is like a fairy child in the painting, and the scholar blushed inexplicably.
Jingyue: "Can I sit?"
The scholar hurriedly said: "Master, please." He scratched his head embarrassedly again, "I don't have any good ideas, but I was just angry for a while and made a big talk, which made you laugh."
Jing Yue: "Why is it big talk?"
The scholar sighed helplessly: "I know what they say is true. Many times, officials can't eat meat, and people can't drink soup. This is unreasonable, but it is reasonable, so it has always existed."
"But I always feel that if you see the darkness and let it be dark, then you can only sink in the darkness, and you will never be able to wait for the light to cover everything. Only by finding a way to break through the darkness, even if it breaks your head and blood, can you There may be a ray of light."
"One generation can't work, just two generations, two generations can't work, just three generations... Even if it takes 10,000,000 years, at least we have chosen the right path, keep walking, and one day we will find an exit."
Seeing that the Taoist listened carefully, the sullen qi that had accumulated in his chest dissipated, he said angrily, "I'm too idealistic."
Jingyue: "Is it ideal? You can try it yourself."
The scholar was puzzled, and Jing Yue said, "You have a rosy eyebrow in the poor Taoist temple, and you are very spontaneous. This time you will win the imperial examination. If you will be in a high position in the future, you will be able to verify one or two."
The scholar's face suddenly turned cold. He had no prejudice against Taoists, and seeing that Taoists were not like those who cheated money, he said a few more words to him. Unexpectedly, the other party is also full of madness! He knows that his literary talent is not outstanding, and this time the examiner has always liked gorgeous articles, so how could he be named the leader
It must be the Taoist who saw that he came from a small place and had not seen much of the world, and tried to deceive him for his money.
Jingyue continued: "Although you have had ups and downs in this imperial examination, you will succeed in the end."
The scholar stood up, cupped his hands in a perfunctory way, and left without turning his head. Before going out, he heard the Taoist say, "Go to the left when you meet a horse."
Some people around also heard the conversation between Jingyue and the scholar, and they laughed in their hearts, this person has no wink, and the scholar is still the leader just now? It just makes me laugh out loud!
One person looked at Jingyue mockingly, but saw the little Daotong beside the Taoist staring at him blankly, his dark eyes as if they were going to suck his soul away, so evil that he couldn't help but shudder.
Jingyue patted Qin Yanzhi soothingly, and called Xiao Er to order some food. After all, Xiao Yanzhi has not yet fasted, and his stomach will growl.
Soon, the dishes came, and they were all the signature dishes in the inn, full of color, flavor, and taste.
Qin Yanzhi held chopsticks in his small hands, and took a little dish to match a mouthful of rice. The amount of dishes in each chopstick was about the same, as if it had been calculated accurately. He seemed to be eating delicately in small mouthfuls, but he was very fast. After eating, his mouth was clean and not shiny, but he still raised his face and waited for Jingyue to wipe his mouth naturally.
Jingyue didn't think there was any problem. Ever since Qin Yanzhi cried that day, he tried his best to take care of him as a child. These days, he had already rushed Qin Yanzhi's mature appearance out of his memory and didn't think about it. OK.
The two of them were enjoying themselves, but the cold wind was whistling outside the inn. It was night and there was no one on the street. The scholar hurried to the rented courtyard with his neck shrunk, and he was angry that he had mistrusted the Taoist!
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves. He looked up and saw an exquisite carriage slowly approaching not far away. The scholar, for some reason, inexplicably thought of the Taoist saying "go left when you meet a horse", and he was not too concerned. It's true, but the body still turns to the left very honestly.
At this moment, the horse pulling the cart jumped up with its front hooves and rushed towards him. The scholar froze on the spot, his mind went blank, and he could only close his eyes subconsciously.
There was only a loud bang, followed by the chaotic screams of people.
The scholar waited for a long time without pain in his body, so he opened his eyes a little, but saw that the carriage had fallen to the ground, the horse was foaming at the mouth, and its limbs were twitching.
And the place where the carriage fell was exactly where he was standing.
The scholar's face was as white as paper, his heart trembled, he stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly spread his legs and ran towards the inn in front of him.
But when he arrived at the inn, he learned that the young Taoist priest had returned to the room, and specially told the boss not to disturb him.
The scholar waited for a long time and finally left disappointed.
In a room, Jing Yue and Qin Yanzhi were practicing.
After staying in the Haotian Realm for more than five years, Jingyue is still a cultivation base in the middle of the foundation.
He mobilized his mind and guided his spiritual power to travel throughout his body. After a big week, he suddenly felt a golden aura fill his surroundings. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Qin Yanzhi had broken through the first level of Qi training.
Qin Yanzhi's eyes were slightly open at this time, and he was a little dazed by the sudden change, and then raised his head in joy, "Yanzhi has advanced!"
Jingyue was about to praise him, but saw Xiaoyan wrinkle her nose, raised her hand to smell it, and then tugged at her clothes in disgust.
After thinking about it, he understood that Qin Yanzhi was not a full spiritual body after all, and every time he advanced in the Qi training stage, impurities in his body would be eliminated. Some people have many people, which will form dirt, and some people have few people, it will be a layer of fine ash.
Although Qin Yanzhi was the latter, he still thought he was dirty.
Jing Yue was amused in his heart, and called Xiao Er to carry a bathtub with hot water. He tried the water temperature and let Qin Yanzhi wash it by himself.
Qin Yanzhi was unhappy and stripped himself naked. His fair and tender flesh was like a ginseng doll. He reached out to Jingyue and naturally wanted to hug him.
"The barrel is too high to go up."
Jing Yue couldn't help pinching his round face, picked him up and put him in a wooden bucket. There was a lot of water in the bucket, so Qin Yanzhi could only stand to wash it.
Jing Yue saw that he was rubbing left and right awkwardly, and because his hands were too short, he couldn't slam his back, so he had no choice but to pick up a towel and soap beans to give him a bath.
There was laughter, one big and one small, from the room, and Lan Feng shrank in the corner and pecking at the hair sadly.
Peck one and read: "Jingjing loves me, Jingjing doesn't love me anymore, Jingjing loves me, Jingjing doesn't love me anymore..."
After reading it for a while, no one paid attention to it.
After drying the fragrant Qin Yanzhi, Jingyue put on his shirt and teased him, "If you remember your previous life, would you be so embarrassed that you would chop me up?"
Then he laughed to himself.
Qin Yanzhi didn't understand, but seeing Jingyue smiling happily, he also grinned, where is there a hint of coldness
They stayed in the inn for two days before arriving on New Year's Eve. The shops on the street were closed early. During the day, people from nearby came to the inn to ask for couplets. By night, the outside was very clean.
However, it was very lively in the inn. Some students couldn't go home to reunite with their relatives, so they pooled their wallets and sat at the table together to celebrate the New Year together.
Everyone was drinking and ordering, reciting poems, and gradually getting drunk...
As soon as the child arrived, fireworks were set off in the capital one after another, and the sound of crackling firecrackers was deafening. Many students also walked out of the inn together to set off fireworks.
Seeing that Qin Yanzhi kept looking out the door, Jing Yue seemed a little curious, and Lan Feng was also clamoring to set off fireworks, so he asked the shop assistant for a few firecrackers, and led Qin Yanzhi to a secluded place , holding Qin Yanzhi's hand to help him light the lead.
Sparks sprang from the lead, but Qin Yanzhi was still standing there stupidly, Jingyue hurriedly pulled him back and covered his ears with his hands.
In an instant, the sky was full of fireworks, and the orange-red firelight reflected the outlines of one large and one small. Lanfeng's soft body was lightly pressed against Jingyue, and they looked up at the night sky together.
Suddenly, a bit of coolness touched Jing Yue's forehead, and it turned out to be a snowflake.
Someone shouted not far away, "It's snowing! It's snowing on New Year's Eve!"
The echoes were gradually melted away by the night, replaced by flying snow fluttering.
In the white snow, Qin Yanzhi quietly looked at Jingyue, feeling the warmth in his ears, and only wanted to be like this for a lifetime.
