Chapter 175: Mr.
Addressing is a science that represents various interpersonal relationships.
Most of the people who travel in the world are bold, informal, and don't pay attention to red tape. But in fact, it's because they haven't gone to school and don't understand that.
Among this group of people, Taoist Pan can be regarded as an "alien". He is a casual Taoist monk. He has learned a lot of miscellaneous things and has no formal inheritance. Anyway, he learns whatever he sees. He knows some Taoism, some swordsmanship, and he also knows how to treat diseases.
Healing…
In addition, he is also a person who pays more attention to etiquette.
Pan Daoren has a steady temperament and a sense of propriety. In this regard, he is similar to Xiao Cheng, which is why they have been friends for so many years.
In comparison, Wu Zhi seems much more frivolous.
If it weren't for the friendship of many treasure hunts together, there are certain things that Mr. Pan wouldn't even bother to say to this guy.
Especially when it comes to dealing with Chen Youniao.
Pan Daoren is also considered a member of the Taoist sect. He knows its secrets and understands that Chen Youniao, who has transformed into a god, is not the same person as them.
Those who transform themselves into Shinto are already "inhuman".
So if you want to be friends with Chen Youniao, what are you thinking about?
Wu Zhi was even more outrageous before and even wanted to make enemies...
In fact, at that time, under the temptation of Wu Zhi, Pan Daoren also had some thoughts...
Because at that time, he didn't know what Chen Youniao's Taoist realm was.
Until Chen Youniao used his sword intention, and then tonight, he chopped the mandrill demon with his axe.
Pan Daoren felt that it was time to give Chen Youniao a formal title to show respect. He could no longer use "he", or call him by his first name, and it was even more inappropriate to call him "Brother Chen".
Although Chen Youniao didn't seem to care, Pan Daoren believed that the most important thing in life is to be able to clearly understand one's duty.
So he found Xiao Cheng and expressed his thoughts directly.
Xiao Chengshen thought so. Although he called "Brother Chen" the most, he felt guilty in his heart and did not feel that he and Chen Youniao were qualified to be brothers, even though they had more friendship with him.
If you keep calling me like that, you will be as good as Wu Zhi.
"But, what should I call it?"
"I also feel embarrassed, so I came to discuss it with you."
Xiao Cheng thought for a while: "I learned not long ago that Brother Chen is not only a practitioner, he is also a scholar and a scholar with a great reputation."
Hearing this, Taoist Pan also looked dull. It took him a while to come back to his senses and slapped his thigh: "In that case, it is better to call him 'Sir'. It is in line with his status."
The word "Sir" is originally an honorific and is used in a wide range of scenarios. It is exactly what the saying goes: "The master is the first, and the teacher is the meaning."
Xiao Cheng clapped his hands and agreed: "Very good."
The two immediately split up and informed the others that from now on, everyone must call Chen Youniao "sir" when they see him.
When everyone heard this, they were convinced that there was nothing wrong with it, and no one objected.
It's just a title.
The most important thing is that he has the ability to be a "sir".
Chen Youniao, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, had clear senses. He could hear all these movements in his ears, and he felt speechless for a moment: Why bother with a title?
Shake your head, ignore it, and let them do whatever they want.
…
The white paper was unfolded, and a simple map was outlined in pen and ink.
In this era, maps are a luxury item and are rarely seen by ordinary people. However, it is not surprising for wanderers who travel all over the world to have maps in their hands. The roads they have traveled and the places they have visited are often drawn by hand.
This is all experience.
Chen Youniao had no experience in this area. The books he had read and the mountain and river atlas in his mind were all theoretical.
There are always many differences between practice and theory.
What's more, the way to leave Xianyi Town and return to the Central Plains is not recorded in the books at all.
Not many people have walked this road.
This is a pioneering road.
Strictly speaking, this is not even a road, but a combination of various mountains, wilderness, and forest paths. There are endless bumpy road conditions. Sometimes, the carriage has to be carried by someone to get across.
Such an encounter reminded Chen Youniao of some long-lasting memories. There is a very modern term called "alley friend"!
The road conditions were poor and the cold winter weather made it even more difficult.
On the road, I have never encountered bandits or the like. I think so. In this place where birds don’t poop, who would come here to do business without opening their eyes? I have encountered some tigers, leopards and ferocious beasts, but swords and guns have no eyes, birds and beasts are free.
Come to your door, and it ends up being a meal on the plate, a great supplement!
In addition, the more troublesome thing is the forest spirits. They appear here and there, and they also have some special methods that make it difficult for people to guard against. One team member was bewitched, left the team, and walked into the mountains alone, never to return.
.
Everyone couldn't find it, so they had no choice but to give up and continue on their way.
Overall, this journey was smooth.
"We are here now. We continue to walk south, pass through here, and cross the mountains. Behind us is the Central Plains region."
Xiao Cheng gestured with his fingers on the map.
Chen Youniao asked: "How long will it take to walk?"
"About eight days, no more than ten days."
Xiao Cheng answered firmly.
"eight days……"
Chen Youniao pondered, he was thinking about the time for the test.
This trip to Yunmeng really took up a lot of time. It would be ridiculous if I couldn't make it in time to take the exam.
Xiao Cheng pointed his finger at the area behind the mountain range and said with a wry smile: "This place is at the junction of Fu Meng Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom. It is called 'Sanchuan Town'. It is a famous Sanchuan Zone. It is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and it is very chaotic."
Pan Daoren said: "Sanchuan Town has been in turmoil all year round, with forces divided and numerous desperadoes appearing. Now that the war is about to begin, it will become even more chaotic."
Chen Youniao asked: "What happened when the imperial court destroyed the vassal state?"
Pan Daoren spread his hands: "Such a big event can only be rumored in the world. Who knows the details?"
Xiao Chengdao: "Although Sanchuan Town is chaotic, it is a place we must pass through."
Chen Youniao asked: "Aren't there two major vassal states on both sides? I looked at the map and it would be faster to go directly from Zhongshan Kingdom."
Xiao Cheng's expression changed: "Sir, you can't go to the Zhongshan Kingdom, and you can't even leave the Fumeng Kingdom. As the saying goes: the land of a noble family is like a forbidden area. If outsiders enter, they can't get out."
Chen Youniao raised his eyebrows: "So terrifying?"
Xiao Cheng smacked his lips: "Everyone says so anyway, and it has become a consensus. Of course, we have never been there."
Chen Youniao said coldly: "There is a country within a country, and it is such a vassal state. No wonder the imperial court wants to destroy the vassal state."
Xiao Cheng was not enthusiastic about these current political events, nor was he qualified to participate. He brought the topic back to the town of Sanchuan: "Speaking of which, after so many years of absence, I don't know what the town has changed into now. Our team, each and every one of us,
If you have money and goods in your car, you will inevitably be coveted, and that’s the problem.”
Wu Zhi, who was watching, said unconvinced: "We also have people who can fight. We have even killed demons. Are we still afraid of them?"
Xiao Cheng curled his lips and said, "Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi, the more you live, the more confused you become. Human hearts are often more terrifying than monsters."
