Chapter 76 Embark on a journey
"No, I couldn't find it in the morning. I didn't care at that time. I shouted all over the yard during lunch, but I didn't find it. Now Sister Xing went out to look for it, and she must have run out and was caught by the bad guy..." Xiaoxiao became more and more worried as she spoke, and almost cried. Usually no matter where Xiaobai was, as long as she shouted, the little guy would appear in front of her.
There is trouble now... If an ordinary person catches a tiger cub, Chang Jin is not worried. With the agility and cleverness of this thing, it is impossible to catch it.
What Chang Jin was afraid of was those practitioners who could see Xiaobai's abnormality himself, and believed that other practitioners could also discover it.
He released his spiritual sense and quickly filtered the entire courtyard, but he did not find any traces of the little white tiger. Fortunately, there were no other abnormal aura around him, which made Chang Jinan feel a little distracted.
"Finished, found Xiaobai." At this time, Xing Suer ran in excitedly.
"Where?" Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.
Before Xing Su'er could answer, she saw a snow-white figure jumping into the yard with half a fat hare in her mouth.
Looking at the hare that had been gnawed half, Chang Jin didn't understand where this thing sneaked out of the city to hunt.
Chang Jin originally thought that the little guy had brought back half of the hare for him, but he didn't know that it ran straight to the dog's kennel, sent the hare to the side of the Shibagou, and then whimpered and roared.
The meaning is very obvious, it is for the bitch to enjoy.
This little guy is not unconscienced. Seeing this scene, although Chang Jin did not eat stewed rabbit meat, he was also very pleased.
The lively county test quickly dispersed, and then Chang Jin and Wang Qinian began to prepare for the palace test.
The government examination will be held in two months, and there will be no long time.
The two of them have already agreed that the sooner they go to the city, the better. First, they can be familiar with the environment, and second, they can prepare accommodation early. Otherwise, students from all over the country will come and it will be difficult to find a satisfying inn.
After leaving this time, there was only his sister and Xing Suer at home. Two girls were afraid that something would happen, so Chang Jin specially asked Tu Yifang to help take care of him.
Tu Yifang naturally agreed immediately and specially sent two ghost generals to wait at Chang'an day and night.
As for the White Tiger, Chang Jin planned to wait for the mansion to return to send it to Xiaoqian. The little guy is now growing in his teeth, and has been sneaking outside the city to hunt in the past few days, and he will bring some prey home every time. Xiaoxiao and others have repeatedly taught him lessons, but it has not corrected it.
I remember reading the Ming and Qing dynasty novels in my previous life. Most of the students who describe ancient students cannot do without the "Qinjian Bookbox". This is the same in this world. Chang Jin's slightly heavy bookbox on his back. When he stepped out of the house with Wang Qinian, he suddenly felt that his identity seemed to have become a pure scholar.
"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles", this is the Confucian scholars who travel far and wide and measure the world with their steps. Not only many students have come step by step. I don't know how many poems are left behind, so that future generations can appreciate the tragic and glory of being separated by mountains and studying thousands of miles away.
In the Qinjian Bookbox, perhaps the bookbox can best reflect the identity and even dreams of ancient students. It does not contain a series of thread-bound books, but also half-life honor and disgrace such as "Golden House" and "Yan Ruyu".
After leaving the city, a carriage hired by Wang Qinian was waiting at the city gate. The three of them got into the car and rushed towards Wanshan Prefecture City towards Chaoyang.
Tongqu County is more than 200 miles away from the Fucheng in a straight line. Even if you twist and turn along the official road, it is only four or five hundred miles away. If you drive on the Earth in later generations, you can arrive in just a few hours at most. Now he uses the magic that is close to the end of the world, and this effect is also achieved. However, Wang Qinian is with you, Chang Jin is not willing to show his magical powers too much in front of him.
What's more, walking slowly along the way and seeing the colors of mountains and rivers is also a unique atmosphere.
It was only a few days before the county trial ended, but in just a few days, the fields had changed in color. Looking through the car window, there was a green everywhere, and there were a few bright red spots mixed in between.
Chang Jin sat in the car and felt at ease, but Wang Qinian was not like that. He fell asleep in a moment and missed many beautiful scenery along the way.
The carriage was moving very slowly. By noon, they had just passed Shangtai Town. After using the food, they took a short rest and got into the carriage and got on the road.
When it was almost dark, I finally arrived at a hotel to stay.
This hotel was here when Chang Jin killed the White Tiger before the New Year. Although it was several months apart, the shopkeepers still had an impression of Chang Jin. After enthusiastically welcoming them into the store, they took the initiative to talk about the disappearance of the White Tiger in Huangnigang.
"It's so good for the young master to know that Huangnigang is very peaceful now, and the white tiger has been killed by the Land Lord? I haven't heard of anyone being eaten again in the past two months, and even the official list of the government has been torn off."
"Master Tudi, how do you know?" Chang Jin asked in confusion.
"This little one was also said by hunters nearby. There is a mountain temple on Huangnigang, which was the mountain god who taught them a dream." The waiter of the shop wiped the table clean and asked them to sit down.
No wonder... Chang Jin nodded to show that he knew. Then he ordered a few more meals, and the waiter left.
"Yunsheng, how could you know the guy here?" Wang Qinian asked curiously after the other party walked away.
"Oh, I was idle before the New Year. I had studied nearby once," Chang Jin naturally would not say that he killed the White Tiger, so he just spoke up.
Because there are few customers in the hotel, the food they ordered soon came. Chang Jin warmly invited the groom and Komatsu to serve with each other, but the groom did not agree to anything. When he was away, Komatsu also followed the rules.
In desperation, Chang Jin had to let them go.
The two were having dinner, but they heard the waiter shouting: "Where did the Taoist priest come from? This is the order to beg for alms. Don't enter the store, wait at the door, I'll get you some leftovers."
"I don't eat leftovers and like to eat wine and meat. If you make me a pot of good wine, a fat chicken, I'll leave immediately." A laughter came from outside.
Hearing the sound, Chang Jin felt aroused and he quickly looked up.
"Fat chicken and wine, you can make it beautiful. If you want to eat it, give it money, or get out of here." The waiter in the shop said as if the other party was teasing him and stopped the door and shouted.
"Haha, I can eat even if I don't have money." A sloppy figure flashed at the door, got rid of the waiter's pull and quickly entered the store.
This person was a sloppy Taoist priest I met in Tongqu County a few months ago. At that time, he could see at a glance that Wang Qinian had evil spirits.
The Taoist priest entered the hotel, walked straight to Chang Jin and Wang Qinian, bowed and said, "Hello, two young men, we're meeting again!" As he spoke, he stared at the heads of the two, and his eyes flashed and then became turbid again.
"You are..." Wang Qinian obviously recognized this person, and hurriedly said, "The Taoist priest is polite." If it were before, Wang Qinian would never be so polite to a Taoist priest.
After just experiencing the incident of painting, his view on Taoism has changed a little.
"I never thought I would meet two young men here, can I ask the old man to have a drink?"
"Stinky Taoist priest, hurry up and go out, don't delay the guests' meals." At this time, the waiter felt his hands and feet had strength, so he rushed in and pulled them.
Chang Jin's attitude was contrary to Wang Qinian. He originally felt good about the Taoist temple, but after talking to the City God, he re-understood the Taoist temple.
For gods, this "Tao" is tantamount to "steal".
But even so, facing this sloppy Taoist, it is really hard to feel disgusted.
"Man, we know this Taoist priest, you can add some dishes and chopsticks," Chang Jin ordered.
"Okay," the waiter had to leave when he saw this, and then took the bowls and chopsticks to put them on the table.
"I'm going to dismiss the king of your surname. This is my brother Chang Yunsheng. I offended him so much last time, so I haven't asked the Taoist priest's name yet?" Wang Qinian asked again.
"My Dharma name Xuandong," the sloppy Taoist ate a few bites of food and drank two glasses of wine. Seeing the waiter standing beside him and staring at him, he ordered: "Waiter, go and serve me a bowl of rice. I haven't had a full meal for two days, so I'm already hungry."
"Master, my corn has just been put into the pot and it will take a while to cook it. You can eat it first." The waiter didn't catch a cold at the Taoist priest, so he curled his lips and turned around and left. After walking away, he muttered in a low voice, "The wild Taoist priest from there, the starving ghost is entrusted to death."
The Taoist priest obviously heard these words but did not care.
The three of them were drinking and chatting. Seeing that they were almost drunk, Xuandong said with his drunken eyes: "The two young masters are both very knowledgeable people. I am an ancient painting by me. I want to ask the two young masters to give me some advice."
After saying that, he took out a scroll from the cloth he carried with him and placed it on the dining table, slowly unfolding it.
Chang Jin looked at it intently, but found that the scroll was very different from ordinary calligraphy and paintings. There were several dancing ladies on it, which looked graceful and graceful, all of which were stunning. The woman standing in the middle, with her head and eyebrows, a clever smile, and a slim and beautiful eyes, which was even more beautiful, as if she was a goddess.
