Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 118
[Chapter 118]
cool as water.
Ren Ji brushed and washed the horses, poured water into the manger, and laid out hay, which was considered the end of the day’s work.
He stretched his waist, looked up at the moon in the sky, and suddenly seemed to see the round face on the painting boat.
Ren Ji shook his head, threw the thoughts out of his mind, leaned against the railing of the stable, and took out a weird musical instrument from his arms.
This instrument was fired from crude clay, but now it is handled as smooth as jade. It was shaped like a jug, open at one end, and had six small holes in the front, just enough to cover with your fingers.
This is called Xun, and it was her mother’s best instrument during her lifetime. When he was six years old, he bought it from his mother’s former bawd with the wages he paid for cleaning the deck of a painting boat for a month, and he always carried it with him.
He consulted all the musicians on Zui Xinghe and learned how to play the xun.
At this time, he brought the Xun to his lips, and a desolate melody sounded in the night.
The sound of Xun is long.
Lao Huang, the owner of the caravan in the guest room, finished calculating today’s accounts and opened the window upon hearing the sound.
He saw the young man begging to join his caravan on the way, intoxicated by the sound of the xun, with a smile on his face.
This young man stopped his caravan outside Lanling City, begging to go with him all the way, he can do any job, as long as he pays for food and lodging. Seeing his sincerity, Lao Huang nodded and agreed.
Lao Huang’s business is mainly to trade special products between Lanling City near the sea in Yuezhou and Huangteng City in the central part. In the early years, he couldn’t afford to hire guards, and his son was robbed by bandits while transporting goods. His son chased after the bandits and lost his life, leaving only one granddaughter to look after him.
The young man named Aji below has been in contact with him for the past two days. He is practical, hardworking, and kind-hearted. Based on Lao Huang’s vision of traveling all over the world for many years, he believes that this is a good boy.
“Anyway, we still have ten days to go to Huangteng City. Let’s learn more about it. If it’s good, it would be good to recruit a grandson-in-law to inherit my family business.”
Lao Huang thought to himself, and silently closed the window.
…
“Ren Ji?” Chen Luo looked at the list in his hand, and the geographical location of Yuezhou emerged in his mind.
Hey, that’s in the east of Daxuan. After Yuezhou is the sea of stars, it
‘s tens of thousands of miles away from Zhongjing.
This little Ji, stays by my side every day, takes all the original manuscripts, and reads the full version without waiting for an update. Occasionally, I will explain the plot to him, even tens of thousands of miles away, reading newspapers every day No one can compare!
shame!
“Su Qianqian, the name should be a girl.” Although they are both two hundred and twenty-seven dusts, but she is ranked second, which must be a bit more than Xiao Ji.
You can’t even compare to a little girl, shame on you!
What? Xiao Ji is a Confucian genius? Oh, that’s all right.
Chen Luo looked at the entire list from beginning to end, and found that the ninety-ninth and one hundredth were both Jiujiuchen, but the name was a bit eye-catching.
Ninety-ninth place: Yan Baichuan.
One hundredth place: Song Tuizhi.
“Pfft…” The tea spouted from Chen Luo’s mouth, “What’s going on?” The
fourth senior brother clearly told himself that after entering the Confucianism realm, he should not be confused by foreign objects. It is easy for them to sense the mortal atmosphere in their novels, but because they have already walked out of their own way on the road of Confucianism to heaven, it is difficult for them to substitute their own emotions and experience the world in the book.
Chen Luo understands this very well. After all, whether it is Jin Gu Liang Wen or the four great classics, they are all popular literature by definition, which is for the general public to read. Great Confucian scholars were all academician-level figures in their previous lives, so it’s okay to like it, but it’s not necessary to study it.
To put it another way, it’s as if children will be sad for a long time when they see Tiejia Xiaobao’s failure, while adult men who have gone through vicissitudes of life will only smile knowingly at the female traffic policeman among them.
But…
Chen Luo looked at the list, and they were all ranked in the top 100 of Daxuan. You still said it was difficult to substitute?
Is there any reason?
Chen Luo thought for a while, and asked Bai Xiaosheng: “Old Bai, can those great Confucian scholars not be allowed in? At most, they are in the Confucian realm!”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded: “No problem!”
After Bai Xiao finished speaking Sheng Sheng waved his hand towards the first place on the list, and some of the rankings on it changed immediately, but the changes were not big, but the names of Yan Baichuan and Song Tuizhi were replaced by two other names.
Chen Luo suddenly thought of something, and asked, “By the way, did you detect the mortal aura of those great scholars just now, would they notice it?”
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head: “The old man didn’t take the initiative to investigate, but It’s just a feedback from martial arts. They have red dust in their bodies, and naturally there is information reflected in martial arts.”
Good guy! Isn’t this just opening the app and signing a bunch of agreements with your eyes closed?
This stuff, if you use it yourself, it smells really good!
“However, the old man can also sense that some traces have been erased. It should be that some expert discovered the existence of this feedback and took the initiative to dispel the red dust or make a barrier. Those two must have a close relationship with the Lord, so they did not Cover up.”
Chen Luo nodded, it was reasonable to say so. Otherwise, I can spy on the great Confucianism at will, wouldn’t it be against the sky… No, I might be beaten to death first!
“Okay.” Chen Luo nodded, “The dust list is too ugly. Since it is a list that counts the number of mortals, let’s call it the number list.”
Bai Xiaosheng: “My lord, please be more serious.”
Chen Luo smiled awkwardly: “If you cultivate a mortal spirit, even if you have entered the martial arts, let’s call it the mortal martial arts list.”
Bai Xiaosheng: “Yes!”
“Also, just erase the amount of mortal energy behind, so that only I can see it.”
Bai Xiaosheng: “Yes!”
…
Wenchang Pavilion.
Yan Baichuan, who was copying a book, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Wan’anbo Mansion.
“Strange, how did you feel that someone spied on you just now?” Yan Baichuan wondered, “Could it be related to the red dust in my body?
” Definitely not aware of the mood!”
“Chen Luo probably came up with something weird again.”
“Forget it, there are still 8,000 copies of “Swordsman” to copy, let’s just forget about it!”
” However, that kid probably didn’t realize that I’m his book fan!”
“Never admit it!”
…
Zhili, Qingyu Lane.
The flames are monstrous.
The burning rocks that the Su family had just bought and were about to send to the kiln factory tomorrow were all ignited almost instantly, and the huge Su manor was like a sea of flames.
Several men in black escaped from the mansion.
“Damn it, who doesn’t have eyes and lit the fire rock?” “Brother, I don’t know, we are all waiting outside the door. By the way, brother, how does the maid
feel?”
Licking her lips: “Skin and tender meat, much better than those sluts in the brothel, it’s a pity I didn’t catch Miss Su Fu, otherwise I’d be in a good mood.”
“Brother, we haven’t moved the warehouse yet, what should we do now? ”
The boss looked back at the flames of the Su Mansion: “Hmph, ask that Mr. Ge for money! If he doesn’t pay, I will reveal this, and everyone will die together!”
“Yes, everyone will die together!”
“Let’s go, people who put out the fire will come soon!”
Several men in black nodded and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, a figure slowly appeared at the gate of Su Mansion, it was Su Qianqian.
In Su Qianqian’s hand, he held a crushed Taoist talisman.
This is a gift from a real person to the Su family.
At the critical moment, my brother went to block those men in black, and my father stuffed this talisman into himself!
The maid Cui’er changed into her own clothes and sat in the boudoir.
Looking at the blazing Su Mansion, Su Qianqian’s heart ached and she couldn’t stop crying.
Tweety, gone.
Brother, it’s gone.
Daddy, gone.
home, gone.
Su Qianqian heard what the man in black said just now.
“Ge Yunqing!”
“And those bastards!”
“I, Su Qianqian, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!”
Su Qianqian almost bit her lips to bleed
…
“Huh… It’s finally over!”
Fourth watch, Holy Page Square. All the students could hardly raise their hands.
Kong Tianfang and the heads of the hospital did not show any gestures. They leaned on their seats one by one, looking at the mountains of manuscripts in front of them, and finally let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m desperate!” Kong Tianfang sighed, “I will never touch a pen again within three days!”
Another head of the hospital waved his hand: “Don’t say three days, I will never write a word within seven days! ”
“Do you know what the old man is thinking now?” said the third head of the Confucian Academy, “Why did you practice calligraphy so hard back then
!”
As soon as this remark came out, several academic leaders looked at each other and laughed loudly.
“Okay, Tianyi, those students who didn’t participate in the copying are responsible for sending the manuscript of “Swordsman”, have you made arrangements for this?”
Tian Haiyi nodded: “It’s all done. ” has also come to an end, it should be over soon.”
The female scholar of the Red Sleeve Academy nodded: “Die Fei said there are still three chapters! But the story after “Swordsman”, Wan Amber already has a draft!”
Kong Tianfang smiled Nodding: “I don’t know what kind of strange writing it will be! What martial arts are hidden in it! Forget it, I am the host today, how about we go to Beifeng Tower and wake up together?”
“Wonderful, I haven’t been to Beifeng Tower yet! ” “That’s right, Nansheng Huazui took my academy’s salary, but he didn’t give lectures in the academy, and he still went
to Beifenglou to talk every day. It’s hateful!”
“Then you should fire him?”
“Dreaming!”
laughter.
Suddenly, Cheng Diefei came in: “Heads of the Academy!”
The female scholar of Hongxiu Academy frowned: “Diefei, why don’t you know the rules? This is the elegant room of the head of the Academy, why are you so reckless?”
Cheng Diefei saluted quickly Apology: “Die Fei’s mistake, I will apologize later. It’s just that Wan Amber has an urgent manuscript here, saying that it must be published in today’s “Daxuan Minbao”!”
Kong Tianfang waved his hand: “But “Laughing How many times after “Proud Jianghu”? Wait for the supplementary issue to be sent out tomorrow? The old man and the students can’t hold up their pens!”
“No, Wan Anbert explained that it is inconvenient to publish this manuscript in the supplementary issue, so it can only be placed in “Daxuanmin” Newspaper!” With that said, Cheng Diefei handed over a few thin pages of paper.
Kong Tianfang took a look at the thickness of the paper, and accepted it in doubt, his eyes widened instantly.
“”Red Dust Martial Arts List”?”
“This list is a list of the amount of mortal qi in the body of those who have cultivated mortal qi, and it changes every month.”
“Whoever enters this list, the top of the list can get…”
“The second list can get…”
“The third can get…”
…
Kong Tianfang read the introduction of “Red Dust Martial Arts List” at a glance, and then turned to the next page.
“First place: Yuezhou, Ren Ji.”
“Second place, Zhili, Su Qianqian.”
“Third place, Mangzhou, Ji Zhong.”
…
Kong Tianfang took a breath and put the manuscript in his hand Passed it to several other heads of the academy, and sighed, “This Wan Anbo, who announced the martial arts yesterday, came to the rankings today, wave after wave.”
“He really doesn’t think of me as a human being!”
Cheng Diefei couldn’t Ignoring Kong Tianfang’s emotion, he asked anxiously: “The head of the Confucius Institute, can you add it today? I have to go back and report to my uncle!”
Kong Tianfang glanced at the heads of the hall, and said with a wry smile: “Go on!” The
head of the house Nodded: “When this list is released, how many people will jump into the dragon’s gate!”
“As long as Wan Amber can continue the martial arts, they will be the first batch of people to follow!”
“That’s all, don’t be fooled Future.”
“Students are tired, it’s just a few pages, let me do it for you.”
“The old man makes an exception and writes again.”
“Same! Same!”
There was another burst of laughter in the elegant room.
…
Morning finally ushered in Zhongjing City after a busy night.
Every “Minbao” outlet in the streets and alleys is full of people, and they have been queuing since last night.
Yes, I don’t know when, no one calls him the “Wen Pao” sales outlet, but the “Min Bao” sales outlet.
If you haven’t read through the talent before, there is nothing to say.
There is a novel that everyone can read today, so how can you miss it?
Confucian scholars everywhere are promoting, in order to allow everyone in the capital to read novels, all the Confucian scholars, masters, and great Confucian scholars who “write a thousand words” last night worked hard and wrote all night without sleep.
Such a scene will not happen again, they are all anxiously waiting for the manuscript to be sold!
Soon, the Daxuanmin Daily and its previous supplements, escorted by Master Jing, appeared in people’s field of vision. Although they were anxious, the people patiently waited for the students to arrange everything.
Until I heard a cry: “Sale!” The
team rushed up immediately.
It’s just that before I got it, I saw the eye-catching front page of the Daxuanmin newspaper –
“Red Dust Martial Arts List”!
Humph, the word is huge!
Ask a question, don’t hesitate to answer it subconsciously.
What is this book called?
What is the author’s pen name?
…
I don’t think I can go back…
There is one more chapter, more tonight!
(end of this chapter)
