Chapter 28: Gift

Views:

In Daonian's house, the lights were bright, Shen Changan just pushed Daonian to enter when he saw the people who usually lived in this house, smiling at him.

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday." Liu Mao put a gift box in Shen Changan's hand.

"Thank you." Shen Changan was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that Liu Mao also specially prepared a gift for him.

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday, I wish you no illness and no disaster."

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday, I wish you good luck."

One gift after another was placed in his arms, so many that he could barely hold it: "Thank you for your blessings and your gifts, just..."

"Take it with peace of mind." Daonian saw that the gift in his arms was about to fall to the ground, reached out to help him put the gift on his lap, turned his head and said to everyone, "You all go back, it's time for Chang'an to sleep."

"Yes, sir." Liu Mao led everyone back, and when he turned to look at Shen Changan, Shen Changan was looking back at him with a smile, he was slightly taken aback, and returned a kind smile.

As I live older, I can't help but love those lovely lives with clean souls.

"That..." After everyone left, Shen Changan pushed Daonian into the elevator, "Dao Nian, everyone is giving me a gift for your sake?" He felt that he was a disgusting relationship, a staff member. In order to have a better treatment in front of the boss, they had to prepare gifts to please him.

"They like you very much." Daonian reached out and pressed the up button, "Don't think too much."

"Okay, half because of liking me, and half because of you." Shen Changan pushed Daonian back to his room, put the gift on his lap on the carpet, sat down cross-legged, and began to unpack the gift.

Unpacking the first gift, well, diamond watch.

Open the second gift, the designer wallet.

Opening the third gift, a car key, the famous car logo on the car key made him a little scared.

Shen Changan didn't dare to dismantle before halfway through. He shook his hands to look at Daonian: "Dao Nian, are your family's employee benefits all right?"

"It's all useless things to make children happy." Daonian glanced at the pile of gifts and pointed to an orange packaging box: "Take this apart."

Shen Changan opened it according to the words. In this box, there was a delicate candy man, wrapped in rice paper, exuding a faint sweet fragrance.

"It's okay, eat."

Shen Changan remembered that this was given by the uncle who usually cooks in the kitchen. He looked at the candy man, put it back in the box, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and broke half of the candy man across the rice paper cake. To Dao Nian: "Have you half."

"This is useless to me." Daonian didn't answer.

"It's fine and harmless, it doesn't matter if it's useful or not." Shen Changan stuffed half of the sugar figurine into Daonian's mouth, continued to unpack the gift with the sugar figurine in his mouth, and took out precious gems such as collar clips and jade pendants. object.

He sat on the ground, looking at the valuable things all over the ground, turned his head to look at Daonian blankly, and then pinched his arm, it hurt.

"Dao Nian, I read a story before." Shen Changan finished eating the candy man with his head down, and put these precious gifts back into the gift box, "Someone had a dream, in this dream, he entered a In a peach-like village, in order to welcome him, the people in the village gave him a lot of precious things, he was happy for a long time, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was just a dream of Huang Liang.”

The faint sweet fragrance had already melted on the tip of the tongue, and Daonian looked at Shen Changan silently, a little puzzled in his eyes.

"I like the gifts everyone gave." Shen Changan piled the gift boxes neatly together, and he looked up at Daonian with a smile, "But the community I live in is relatively old, and the law and order is not strict, I put these Put it here, can you keep it for me?"

He has already accepted these things, and if he finds someone to return them one by one, it will not only embarrass the atmosphere, but also make Daonian lose face. So he thought about it, putting things here in Dao Nian was the most suitable choice.

"Okay." Daonian hesitated for a few seconds, "I gave it, you wear it."

"I'm wearing it." Shen Changan took out the necklace with body temperature around his neck and showed it to Daonian, then faced Daonian with his legs crossed, "Daonian, if I were a woman and you were the king, wouldn't this scene tonight look like a courtier? To flatter the concubine?"

Dao Nian: "… "

Humans are so good at self-deprecating

Daonian: "Don't think about it, go to sleep." Reaching out the door, Daonian refused to discuss this inexplicable topic with Shen Changan, and it would be tiring to talk.

"Hey." Shen Changan got up from the carpet, put the gift box on the cabinet next to him, backed to the door, and waved to Daonian, "Good night."

Daonian hooked his finger twice, indicating that he heard it. Suddenly, he thought of something, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw it to Shen Changan.

"What is this?" Shen Changan took the key and looked at the keys above.

"Keys to the gate, house, and car." Daonian said, "There are a lot of cars and dust, so take it to open." He just noticed that Shen Changan put the keys of the luxury car into the gift box together with him, so he could only re-open it. Get him one.

So as not to get back in the middle of the night, riding the bike and sweating profusely.

Shen Changan grabbed the keys tightly and smiled at Daonian: "Dao Nian, thank you for the three birthday gifts you gave me."

Daonian was stunned, didn't he just give him a necklace

When he woke up the next morning, Shen Changan heard that it was very lively downstairs, changed his clothes and went downstairs, and found that there were many strangers in the room. When these strangers saw Shen Changan, they all showed warm smiles.

Shen Changan looked around in the living room, but did not see Daonian's figure, and asked Liu Mao, "Mr. Liu, where is Daonian?"

"Sir is in the flower room outside." Liu Mao pointed to the flower room outside, "Go look there."

"Okay." Shen Changan nodded, nodded and smiled at these strangers, and walked quickly towards the door.

"Mr. Shen..." Someone wanted to stop Shen Changan, but Liu Mao glared at him with a smile, and quickly swallowed the words.

Shen Changan inexplicably felt that these people were strange, pretended not to hear the call, and strode to the flower house to find Daonian to play. When he came back with Daonian, all the strangers in the living room disappeared, and the table was piled high with gift boxes.

"Mr. Liu, what did all those people do just now?" Shen Changan noticed that the house had been cleaned again, and even the flowers in the vase had all been replaced.

"It's all people who want to please Mr., and when they heard the news about your birthday, they went to the door cheeky." Liu Mao smiled, "Don't worry about it, I have already checked the gifts they sent. , no problem. If you like it, you can accept it. If you don't like it, you can give it to a friend or throw it away."

Shen Changan: …

After that, the feeling of being a demon concubine seems to be stronger.

The fact that Dao Nian celebrated Shen Chang'an's birthday was not a secret, so it quickly spread.

"Lord Daonian, actually celebrating the birthday of the human being who stayed by his side?" The bird clan demon cultivator, who had just heard the news, could hardly believe his ears.

As early as a thousand years ago, that adult stopped interfering in the affairs of the world, and he did not know which race he was close to. Now he suddenly left a human being by his side, which has attracted attention from all walks of life.

This is as absurd as human beings congratulating mayflies and ants, making all races of gods and demons unable to stop thinking about it.

In the past few thousand years, because of the great prosperity of the human race, they have long disliked humans, and now there are still humans favored by adults, how can they still sit still

The races with relatively strong mobility will send people to inquire about detailed information in the name of He Shou as a gift. Because Kong Ying of the Bird Clan and an elder had seen the appearance of a human being, some people also came to the Bird Clan to inquire about the news.

Kong Ying had just been disciplined, and sat on the chair with a very pale face. No matter how others asked, he would not open his mouth. The bird elder was very cunning. He seemed to have said everything, but in fact he said nothing.

After all the gods and demons who came to ask for news were sent away, the elders of the bird tribe gathered together to consider how to treat this human being.

"Since there are people in humans who can win the favor of adults, why can't the birds of our bird clan do it?" an elder of the bird clan suddenly said, "Is the appearance of a human being comparable to that of the younger generation of the peacock clan?"

The elders suddenly realized that since humans can please adults, it means that adults have not reached the point where they have no feelings. In this way, their other races also have a chance.

If you can get the adults' favor, why worry about the unhappiness of your own family

It is still the most shameless of human beings. It has started to use beauty tricks so early, and it is one step ahead of them.

After a lively birthday at Daonian's house, Shen Changan drove the car lent to him by Daonian and came back with a pile of food and clothes.

When I got out of the car, I met the father who was jumping off the building because of the child's homework. The other party was very enthusiastic when he saw him: "Little brother, have you bought a new car?"

"No, it was a friend who saw that it was too hard for me to ride a bicycle to and from get off work, so he borrowed my car to drive." Shen Changan moved three big bags out of the car, and the father helped him move a large one. bag.

"Brother, do you live in this building?" In the corridor, the man's voice trembled.

"Well." Shen Changan nodded and said, "When we moved here, the location was good and the rent was cheap, so I chose this place."

"Cheap is cheap, but here..." The man was startled when he heard the footsteps from upstairs, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was a ruddy old man.

"Uncle Zhang, are you back?" Shen Changan greeted him with a smile when he saw Uncle Zhang. Seeing that his face was not very good, he took out a few fruits from the big bag and stuffed it into Uncle Zhang's arms, "You have to pay attention. rest."

Looking at the fruit with abundant spiritual energy in his hand, Uncle Zhang racked his brains and wondered if he still had anything good to offer back and forth, "I came back two days ago." What did Shen Changan do during his absence, and why? Is the merit of the body more profound

"I've been playing at a friend's house for the past few days, and I didn't even know you were back." Speaking of this, Shen Changan was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he had been living at Daonian's house for several days.

"Your friend..." Uncle Zhang wanted to ask very much, what kind of big man is this friend of Shen Changan, and these spiritual vegetables and fruits were given to him as if he didn't want money? He has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen a crop so rich in spiritual energy, and even a century-old Ganoderma lucidum and a thousand-year-old ginseng can't compare to it.

It just doesn't look like it's grown from the ground.

Shen Changan didn't want to talk to Uncle Zhang about New Year's personal affairs. He smiled at him and picked up two big bags and said, "I'll put things upstairs first."

"Yeah." Uncle Zhang, who was about to go out, hugged the fruit sent by Shen Changan and turned back to the house.

He carefully took out the pulp, and after eating it cleanly, he even packed the peel and core in a jade box, saving it for the next medicine.

The rest of the fruit is not willing to eat, and is going to be taken back to the elders who are old in the division. Thinking of his sect with the surname Zhang, it is already considered a first-class cultivation family in China, and the resources it possesses are the envy of countless practitioners, but they cannot grow such things. I don't know, is it a human or a demon who took these out

It can be seen that in this mysterious world, human beings are not particularly remarkable existences.

As soon as the fruits were put away, the communication equipment in the room rang. He pressed the answer button, and on the projection cloth on the wall, several images of cultivators appeared.

"What happened?" Uncle Zhang saw that these people were all there, and realized that something major had happened, and felt a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that some evil spirit has come out to harm the world

"Major event." One of the masters said, "Last night I watched the stars and found that the way of heaven has changed."

"The way of heaven has changed?" Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he stood up and wanted to see the master's expression, only to remember that this was a projection and not a real person, so he reluctantly maintained his calm and sat back, "How can the way of heaven change so easily, to us Do humans have much influence?"

"How can we ordinary people easily figure out the path of heaven?" The master smiled bitterly, "If Yuan Tianshi and Huang Guanzi were alive, we might be able to speculate one or two."

Everyone was silent, these cultivators were not as good as the next generation, and many of them could not even learn the techniques of divination and gossip left by their ancestors, let alone observe the way of heaven and measure the rise and fall.

The one who can see the changes in the way of heaven is already among them, the cultivator who is best at forecasting and astrology. If he can't figure it out, the rest of them don't have the ability.

"Then take one step at a time?" After a long silence, Uncle Zhang was the first to speak, "Some time ago, because of the filth in the north, I forgot to tell you something, I found a young man with tenth-generation meritorious deeds. "

"Tenth generation of meritorious body?" Master Yan Yin, who did not speak from the beginning to the end, looked at Master Zhang seriously, "Amitabha Buddha, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I wonder if this virtuous and virtuous person can be married?"

"No marriage."

"Can parents be enlightened?"

"No parents."

"That… "

Master Yan Yin's words were interrupted by a knock on the door. Uncle Zhang walked out of the room, got up and opened the door of the living room entrance. Shen Changan held a plate of washed tomatoes in his hand, "Uncle Zhang, you can eat this, I have already washed it. already."

"Chang'an, keep these things to yourself and eat them well, don't give them away casually." Uncle Zhang looked at this plate of spiritual fruit exuding a strong spiritual energy, resolutely resisted this powerful temptation, and his face was cold Said, "I'm going to eat something that my friend specially gave you, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

In case this great master mistakenly thinks that he, as a cultivator, deceives the young and good things, not only will he be unlucky, but even the entire sect will be affected.

"Don't think too much, I specifically told my friends that a neighbor downstairs likes to eat this kind of food, so I asked them to pack more." Shen Changan put the plate into Uncle Zhang's hand, "You can eat it at ease. Well, my friend is not such a fussy person."

When he took over the plate of Lingguo, Uncle Zhang felt a little weak in his legs. It turns out that the boss already knew that he ate something from Shen Changan

Anyway, he has already earned a bad name. If you don't eat it for nothing, you can become a ghost with sufficient spiritual energy. Uncle Zhang turned around and took a box of Ganoderma lucidum tea from the house to Shen Changan: "Take it and share it with colleagues."

"Thank you." Shen Changan was used to Uncle Zhang's habit of giving ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, "Then you should rest early, good night."

Uncle Zhang closed the door, returned to the room, and said in the direction of the camera: "The young man who gave me the fruit just now is the tenth-generation meritorious body I mentioned."

"As expected of the tenth generation of meritorious body, you can be so gentle to an old man with a strange temper like you."

Uncle Zhang frowned, what did you say

"The voice is also nice, and at first glance, he is loved by God." Master Yan Yin said, "I think he has a very close relationship with my Buddha, and I will fly over tomorrow."

Another Daoist hurriedly said: "I think he is also very destined to my Dao."

Uncle Zhang: "Don't think about all of you, people don't even believe there are ghosts in the world." He recounted the experience of taking Shen Changan to see ghosts last time, and sarcastically looked at these monks who were eager to rob people. , "Believe it or not, when you go to ask him to practice, he will take out a few banknotes for you, and then advise you not to be superstitious or to deceive people?"

The monks: "..."

"Without the protection of practitioners, it is very difficult for a person with a body of merit and virtue in the tenth generation to live to adulthood. Since he does not believe in ghosts and gods, how did he grow to be so big?" Been to a ghost place?"

"Yes, there is no kid who dares to approach a person who is full of righteousness, but this kind of person is very rare. There is also a place with sufficient yang energy, and even a hundred ghosts are not close, such as... "

"A place related to the military?!" Everyone responded, "Did he grow up in the military region?"

No wonder he is so patient with Uncle Zhang, a lonely old man, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

To understand this, everyone's mood becomes complicated again. It's like watching a master of the law attack, running to practice the physics attack, and feeling that the law attack does not exist.

After a long silence, a master who was temporarily serving in the security department coughed dryly: "By the way, I also forgot to mention that the epidemic ghost was also caught by a tenth-generation virtuous young man in Wuming City. If it's unexpected, the little friend Zhang Daoyou mentioned should be the young man who caught the plague ghost."

"There is another very important matter, I want everyone to swear by the way of heaven and never leak it out, so I can tell you." The master said solemnly, "Because this matter is very likely to involve the life and death of my practice world. "

When it comes to life and death, rise and fall, honor and disgrace, everyone did not dare to be careless.

"This tenth-generation virtuous little friend may have inadvertently cultivated the ability of the golden mouth. This ability is not only effective for humans and ghosts, but also affects demons." The master said slowly, "That is to say, his sincere blessings, It has been recognized by Tiandao, as long as what he said, there is a chance to come true. Since I got the news last night, I have been looking up ancient books, and I have only found a few records. Any ordinary person with this ability, All of them have profound merit and pure heart, but no one can maintain this ability for a lifetime."

"It can be as short as a few months, or as long as nearly ten years. In the end, God has taken back this ability." The master's expression was solemn, "But in any case, he has such a profound merit, which is a blessing to my practice world, even if he I don’t believe in ghosts and gods in my life, I hope that fellow Daoists can still take care of him.”

"Don't worry, after this kid moved into this building, the ghosts in the whole building ran clean, and even the earthbound spirits escaped in the rain." Master Zhang said, "When such a person becomes an adult, Luck will get better and better, offending him will only be bad luck, there is no good thing, maybe who will take care of whom at that time."

The monks: "..."

Although the meaning is so, but it is said so bluntly, are they cultivators shameless

Back at his house, Shen Changan couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned on the bed, took out his mobile phone to send a message to Daonian, worried that it would disturb his rest so late, and put the phone back.

"Alas." Lying on the bed, he sighed quietly, "It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality."

I'm used to being accompanied by someone, and then I go back to a deserted environment, but I'm not used to it.

In the quiet room, Daonian looked at the dark night sky: "Why are there no stars tonight?"

"Maybe the clouds are thicker tonight?" Liu Mao looked up at the sky in confusion, when did Mr.

Daonian stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, and the dark clouds dispersed in an instant, and the twinkling stars hung in the sky, adding a bit of dazzling beauty to the night.

After doing all this, he leaned back in his chair lazily and closed his eyes.

Across the window, Shen Changan accidentally saw the beautiful stars in the night sky, he sat up, put the sheets on his body, and looked out the window with his legs crossed.

The night is so beautiful tonight.

The weather forecast lied to him again, saying that it would rain tonight, and looking at the starry night sky, it didn't look like it was raining.

A meteor streaked across the sky, Shen Changan took out the small round lamp beside the pillow, shook it in his hand, and the small round lamp lit up.

It seems... the little round lamp that Dao Nian gave him is more beautiful.

After playing with the little round lamp for a while, he finally felt sleepy, and he hugged the lamp and retracted into the quilt. The small light was bright and dark, and at the moment when Shen Changan fell asleep, it finally went dark.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

The author has something to say: Humans: Who said we sent concubines to confuse the Lord? The babies don't know, the babies haven't done it, the babies are wronged.
