Chapter 90 The scholar and the flower demon 4 [two in one](1/2)

Du Juan saw Yan Lang caring about Hua Yao so sincerely, and learned that both of them were each other's benefactors, so she naturally felt a lot. After thinking about it, she found that she was not good enough in Taoism, so she turned to see Taoist Master Xuanqing, "Master, please help them~"

It can be seen that the master and apprentice have a deep relationship, and it seems that the master and apprentice look like father and daughter.

Taoist Master Xuanqing was indifferent at first, but Du Juan acted coquettishly and pleased him again and again. Yan Lang also looked at him with a look. Taoist Master Xuanqing sighed helplessly and looked at Yan Lang with some meaning, "Although you have a lot of connections with this flower demon, remember that the human demon has different paths."

After saying that, he took out a long red rope from the gossip bag he had with him, "The rope was tied to your wrist and the other end to the flower demon. In this way, the flower demon can use the righteousness on your body to conceal the demonic energy."

If it weren't for the Buddhist Taoist Taoism of this flower demon cultivator, the Buddha's light would not have hurt the scholar due to the demonic energy, and Taoist Master Xuanqing would not have taken action.

Du Juan reached out to take it and handed it to Yan Lang. She smiled casually, "Master, why is this rope red? Isn't it like a red thread tied to Mr. Yan and Xiao Tan?"

Yan Langzheng was said by the four words "the human demon has a special way" as if someone had hit a big bell in his head. Suddenly, he heard Du Juan say this again, and he didn't care about feeling the shocking feeling. He blushed and took the red rope with red ears, thanked Taoist Xuanqing, and then buried his head and tied one end of the red rope to his left wrist without hesitation.

Just as hesitating to where to tie Xiao Tan to Xiao Tan, Xiao Tan's body in the flower pot in his arms shook and turned into a human form and squatted beside Yan Lang. He smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Thank you, Taoist priest, thank you Du Juan!"

Du Juan suddenly saw Xiao Tan's human figure and looked at it. She couldn't help but like it more and more. Unexpectedly, the flower demon who values ​​love and friendship was so well-behaved and cute. If it weren't for the thought of the other party, he wouldn't know how many years he had lived, Du Juan wanted to be her sister.

It was the first time Xiao Tan talked to someone other than a scholar. He was very curious about Du Juan and Taoist Master Xuan Qing. His big watery eyes couldn't help but look around the special outfits of the two. Du Juan took the soul-sucking bell on his waist to show Xiao Tan, "This is what we used when we drove the corpse, and it has no effect on ordinary people. Since you are full of Buddha's energy, it is useless to you."

The two of them started chatting. One talked about what they encountered on the way to drive the corpse with the master, and the other talked about what they had learned to transform themselves. Yan Lang took to Taoist Xuanqing to ask about some demonic practices or taboos in daily life, such as whether Xiao Tan could drink alcohol, whether he was afraid of bloody black donkeys and other things.

Although Taoist Master Xuanqing was taciturn, he seemed to have a good impression of Xiao Tan and Yan Lang, and he said whatever he knew casually.

"You flower demon is born with Buddha nature, and you have enlightened your spiritual wisdom because of the poems you recite, and your heart to save people has transformed into human form. It is no better than ordinary monsters. However, if you meet someone with a bad mind, she is the best elixir and medicinal herb, and can be transformed into those who take elixirs for a whole body."

As soon as he said this, Yan Lang suddenly became nervous and frowned.

Seeing this, Master Xuanqing sighed inexplicably, "It's okay. If you treat her sincerely and wait for you to go to the Golden List in high school in the future, your dragon energy and Wenqu Xingjun's aura can be passed through the red line to her demon body, which can also be regarded as a way to make her demon body protected by God, and others dare not touch her easily."

Since there was a solution, Yan Lang naturally smiled and made up his mind to work harder to prepare for the exam, so as to win the spring exam next year.

When Master Xuanqing saw him like this, he sighed again, closed his eyes and meditated, but his eyes were gone.

After chatting for a while, the sky that was so thick that it seemed to be unable to melt gradually appeared, and then there was a ticking sound.

Yan Lang, who was originally preparing to leave the bookcase, hurriedly went outside and looked up at the sky. A cool raindrop fell on his face.

"Oh, it's raining!"

Yan Lang murmured with a sad face, then went back to the ritual village, took out a piece of oil cloth from the bookcase, covered the surroundings of the bookcase, and then took the oil paper umbrella and carried the bookcase and the flowerpot. "Miss Du Juan, Taoist Master Xuan Qing, we must go to the dock while the rain has not yet fallen, so we won't be with you for more."

Seeing Yan Lang was in a hurry to leave, Xiao Tan said goodbye to Du Juan reluctantly. He turned around and turned into a flower and returned to the pot.

Yan Lang had no empty hands, so he could only bow his waist and bow to Taoist Master Xuan Qing, and turned around and wanted to leave.

Just as Taoist Master Xuan Qing opened his eyes, he suddenly seemed to see something, frowned, and went to see the apprentice next to him, with a little more shock and doubt in his eyes.

Taoist Xuanqing was about to say something, but Yan Lang was already carrying a flower pot and carrying a bookcase.

Taoist Master Xuanqing thought for a serious look and said to Du Juan, who was about to put on a stool next to him and took a nap, "Xiaojuan, please follow this scholar to the capital and visit your Master Xuanming for me."

Just now, the scholar's face suddenly showed a strange dark and peachy color, and I'm afraid it's a little troublesome on the way forward.

Taoist Master Xuanqing does not like to meddle in other people's business, but because he can see the secrets of heaven, he has a natural attitude towards the destined future.

But since we met here today, the scholar seemed to have some opportunities in Du Juan. Taoist Xuan Qing spoke out and asked Du Juan to follow him.

Du Juan said, "Ah?", "No, Master, do you like them so much? We still need to deliver goods."

When did the master be so enthusiastic and helpful? Every person and demon who happened to meet must be sent to follow her.

Taoist Master Xuanqing took out a purse and threw it over, just asking her to chase after him, "This scholar suddenly showed bad luck, I am afraid that he will not be able to live on the road. You follow him, as long as you can get any opportunity, even if you don't, just treat it as going to the capital to see your uncle. As for sending guests, I will send a message to your senior brother to come over, and I will also go to the capital later."

Earlier, Master Du Juan sent a letter and asked her master to go to the capital. It seemed that there was a noble person who wanted to talk to him. However, after reading the letter, the master used it as toilet paper and wiped his butt, and didn't take it seriously at all. Now, this suddenly happened, Du Juan felt it was very strange.

But no matter how strange it is, Du Juan was still very happy to be able to go to the capital. She took the purse and smiled and tied the newly put down bag to her shoulders. She responded and put down the soul-sucking bell on her waist and ran away, not afraid of the rain outside falling on her body.

Taoist Master Xuanqing shook his head and smiled helplessly. He still needs more experience as an apprentice, and his temperament is still too lively. However, he doesn't think about how much he usually feels about this little apprentice who is like a daughter. He has no restrictions on the pocket money he gives every month, and he likes to take Du Juan with him when he goes out.

Yan Lang hurriedly ran to the dock with a flower pot and an umbrella. Fortunately, the rain was still little and there was no wind, so Yan Lang was running very hard.

But after all, I was carrying and hugging my back. The bookcase on my back contained a lot of things, which was not light. After running for a while, I was chased by Du Juan, who had been sprinting out of her arms.

"My master said you may not be born on your way to Beijing, so let me be with you!"

Du Juan did not hide it and deliberately told her the intention of the master asking her to come.

Sure enough, Yan Lang and Xiao Tandu thanked her and accepted her as a friend of the same shape very well.

Although it was not yet agreed upon when we arrived at the dock, the boss of the ship had already brought people to load the ship. Seeing Yan Lang, he didn't say anything, but just smiled and collected the ship's supplies and greeted the boy and the old man, asking the boy to lead the way for Yan Lang and the others.

Originally, Yan Lang wanted to pay Du Juan a boat fare, but the other party followed because of him and Xiao Tan. But Du Juan only said that she wanted to go to the capital to see her uncle, and she refused to let Yan Lang, who seemed not rich, bear more expenses for one person.

The cargo ship has to walk north in the canal for four days and three nights before reaching the county town. This is because it is spring now and there is no wind, otherwise it will take more effort and time to go upstream.

This cargo ship was originally intended to transport goods, so naturally there were no guest rooms. People like Yan Lang and others who could only squeeze into a warehouse.

However, because of Yan Lang's identity, the boss of the ship specially arranged a cargo hold for him that was not filled with cargo, and there was also a wooden board with hay pads inside.

The boy who brought Yan Lang smiled and bent his waist, "Master, this is specially arranged by the boss for you. There is a hay mat on the bed, so you won't be able to sleep on it. If you have anything you want to eat, you can come to the stern kitchen to find me. I will help you make it, or borrow a small stove."

It costs additional money to order or borrow in the kitchen, and Yan Lang also knows it.

However, Yan Lang was very moved by the other party's ability to arrange such a cargo hold for him, and he thanked the boy with a smile.

Du Juan is used to walking around the world, and she doesn't care about the difference between men and women on this boat, so Du Juan also lives with Yan Lang in the cargo hold.

Seeing that the boy leading the way left, Yan Lang closed the cargo hold, Xiao Tan couldn't wait to turn into a human form and appeared on the ground. He looked around curiously, "Wow, this is what the boat looks like? This is the first time I have seen a boat."

After saying that, Xiao Tan said that the river he had just seen was so wide, long and deep. Yan Lang smiled and told her that there were big lakes in the county town. "I'm afraid there will be no time this year. When I come back from the exam next year, I will take you to visit the lake."

In fact, Yan Lang was dragged by his companions to swim the lake after the autumn exam last year. He didn't think there was anything fun at that time, but when he saw Xiao Tan with an enthusiastic look on his face, Yan Lang thought that visiting the lake was actually quite interesting.

Du Juan sat down aside, after all, she didn't rest all night and felt a little tired.

Seeing this, Yan Lang hesitated for a moment, took apart the oil cloth on the bookcase and took out his cloak, "I'll take Xiao Tan out to have a look, Miss Du Juan will sleep for a while."

Although his cloak is not good for other girls, the conditions are limited now. At most, he doesn't need the cloak before cleaning it. He is a man, and it's okay to hold on for a while. Anyway, the weather will get warmer and warmer afterwards.

Du Juan didn't think much about it. After all, when she was a child, she even wore her brothers and even her master's clothes. Now she often used her master's shirt as a quilt. She didn't refuse when she heard this. She took the cloak and wrapped it on her body, fell asleep.

There was a sleeping girl in the house. Yan Lang couldn't stay in the house, so he could only hide in the corner of the cargo next to him and changed his clothes, and then carried Xiao Tan, who had turned into flowers, and left the cargo hold.

Another smaller cargo hold next to it is still empty now, and from time to time someone will pay the ship's supplies below, including men, women, old and young.

Last time, Yan Lang and his group of scholars took a cargo ship to the county town, they didn't meet the boss who was so open-minded and respectful to scholars, so that Yan Lang and his team were all crowded in the dim cargo hold like these people.

At first, I was worried that the ground was tide and dirty, so I was not happy to sit, but after two or three days, I could really squeeze some space to make myself fall down. Even the face was facing the direction of many people's feet, and I just wanted to lie down until I closed my eyes and didn't care about anything, letting people cross over themselves. The feeling was really uncomfortable.

It was precisely because of the taste that Yan Lang was very grateful for the separate cargo hold provided by the ship boss. Now he saw it from afar and smiled and bowed to the other party.

Seeing this, the boss of the boat smiled brighter on his dark face, and at the same time, he waved his hand and replied with a fist-cuffing ceremony from the air.

The drizzle was still falling, but it seemed that there was no big trend. Yan Lang walked all the way on the deck with the flower pot. After thinking about it, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he simply went to the stern of the boat to borrow a fishing rod.

People like them who run on the boat for many years naturally don’t have fishing rods. They can catch a few fish for extra meals in their spare time, which is considered a meat-filled meal.

Before the boat left, Yan Lang borrowed a fishing rod and asked for two earthworms. Then he chose a place to hold an umbrella and started fishing.

The boy who led Yan Lang before was named Ergou. He was from the same village as the boss of the boat. His family was poor. Ergou followed the boss of the boat to travel. Although he had no wages, he could make a living.

As the saying goes, half of the eldest child is poor, and Ergou doesn't eat at home, which can also reduce the burden on the family.

Ergou basically lives on the boat, and fishing is also his favorite thing to do, and he can pass the time and get food. Compared to those adults who have the money to go ashore to drink and eat vegetables, Ergou just hopes to use fish and shrimp to satisfy his cravings.

"Master, there are no fish here that are willing to take the bait. There are too many people near the ferry and there are fishing boats..."

Ergou couldn't help but run around Yan Lang after he finished his work. The boss of the boat said that scholars like to bring a scholar or something around, but this master did not. He didn't want to ask him for such a boy who was so strong that he could only ask for food.

Ergou had such thoughts and naturally paid special attention to Yan Lang. At this time, seeing Yan Lang holding an umbrella and choosing a place to throw down the fishing line, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

However, before he finished speaking, the fishing line that the master had just thrown down had already moved. Ergou glared at him for no reason and stopped talking, and stared at him.

Yan Lang didn't rush to retract the rod. After waiting for a while, he felt a continuous pulling force below, so he lifted the fishing rod and successfully pulled a crucian carp the size of a palm up.

Although crucian carp has many thorns, it tastes very good whether it is fried or roasted.

Yan Lang happily used a straw rope to wrap the fish gills into a long circle, and stepped on both ends of the straw rope under his feet to prevent the fish from jumping everywhere before they died.

Ergou said "Wow", "My master is so lucky."

If it were normal, how could you catch fish so quickly?

Ergou's eyes couldn't help but fall on the fat crucian carp. Thinking of the smell of grilled fish, he swallowed in a bad mood. Suddenly Ergou was stunned. He seemed to have seen another swallowing sound just now.

Ergou couldn't help but go to see the juren, but the juren was clearly smiling and adjusting the earthworms on the fish hook. How could the smiling person swallow?

Ergou scratched the back of his head in confusion, thinking that he must have heard it wrong. After all, except for the master and him, there is only a fish and a flower left next to it.

Flowers will definitely not swallow their saliva. Could it be that the fish itself is greedy for their meat?

Thinking of this, Ergou felt funny, so he grinned, stood up and went to the kitchen to get a broken bucket that no one used, "Master, you can use this to fill the fish first!"

The broken bucket means that there is a hole on it and there is a bit of water leakage. Now there is a little water inside.

Yan Lang thanked him, threw the fish in, and threw the fishing line again. Yan Lang then took a funny look at Xiao Tan who was pressing against his legs.

This greedy girl, if he hadn't moved his legs to cover her, Ergou would have seen a wild flower poking her head and looking at the strange appearance of the fish.

Yan Lang has always been lucky, and Yan Lang has known this since he became sensible, so it was not surprising that Yan Lang had fish taken the bait one after another. However, Ergou next to him began to doubt his life.

After Yan Lang caught eight fish and nine fish were about to collect the rods and stopped fishing. Ergou was embarrassed to ask for a fishing rod. He wanted to take advantage of the luck of the juren to catch a few to satisfy his craving.

Yan Lang was not willing to spend money on oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and side dishes in the kitchen. After all, if you want to fry fish, you will definitely not be enough. You also need to use ginger and chili sauce to remove the smell. Once you use it, you will definitely have to spend a lot of copper plates.
