At noon, the boatman cooked good fish, and the two of them drank together.
Sun Buhan had already gone to the cabin and simply changed his clothes. Su Ziji looked at him and saw that he was probably under twenty years old. He was not handsome, but his black jewel-like pupils were full of hope and his posture was free and elegant. Forgetting the vulgarities, I secretly thought about the extraordinary magnanimity, why didn’t I notice it yesterday?
Just thinking about it, Sun Buhan raised his glass again, and Su Ziji hurriedly raised his glass and said: "It turns out that your father is Sun Tanhua, who is famous throughout the county. I have been famous for a long time..."
Sun Buhan drank in one gulp, then poured wine for Su Ziji and smiled: "Why is he famous in the whole county? My father is just a person who failed the exam. He stopped taking the exam when he got old and just lives in the farm."
Su Ziji was a little surprised by the casualness of these words, and said: "Although your father made a mistake in one word and fell into the list of Jinshi, the late Emperor Zhu Pi 'cherished the talent of exploring flowers', which can be regarded as a thousand pieces of gold. Although he was defeated by You Rong, Brother Sun has This family tradition must be within reach during this government examination."
"You can't take fame without taking it. If you don't take it, it will be difficult to move forward." Sun Buhan sighed with a smile: "I do have ambitions to take the government exam and the provincial exam."
"But my talent is average, and all I want in life is to travel and enjoy it. Even if I have a thousand volumes at home, I still can't read them, so I don't want to try."
"When you go to the government to take an exam, don't stay in a hotel. You can just stay at my house. I will take you to interesting places."
The interesting place, could it be a brothel? Su Ziji laughed in surprise: "Brother Sun is too modest, let's just live in your house. To tell you the truth, I always love reading. When the time comes, I will come to visit and study, but there will definitely be some. Don't dislike it then." I’m in too much trouble.”
"How could it happen? How could it happen? The door must be open to welcome you." Sun Buhan kept saying. At this moment, a boat was rowing not far away, and someone shouted: "Master Sun, Master Sun."
Su Ziji looked around and saw an old man standing on the deck, shouting, and then heard Sun Buhan get up: "I'm here."
"It turns out that your family came here. It's still cold in April, so Brother Sun should get on the boat early to take a bath and change clothes!" Su Ziji felt even more relieved. It was obvious that he was not the sinner of the ultimatum. As he spoke, the boat was already Coming closer, the boatman quickly set up the gangplank.
"Then I'll take my leave first." Sun Buhan bowed, and after the ceremony, he jumped on the boat. The two boats separated. He waited thirty meters away and could no longer see clearly before entering.
Kiriyama
Although the mountain is not high, there have always been legends about gods and goddesses, and the mountain road is somewhat steep and filled with fog all year round. Only some young men who like mountain climbing adventures, or mountain people and traders come to the Taoist temple.
At this time, there was a dark hall underground in the Taoist temple. It was said to have more yin energy, but it did not feel cold, because on the huge rectangular table in the center of the secret room, there was a dense row of calmly burning lamps.
Some of these lamps have been extinguished, but more are on. Although they have wicks, there is no oil. Although there is fire, they do not waver, as if they are burning out of thin air.
A young man was sitting down. At this moment, a lamp made a sudden "pop" sound. The lamp was originally not on, but the flame was faint. The surroundings were still a little dark, making it look a bit forbidding. At this time, it swayed violently, and in front of the young man's eyes, the lamp suddenly swayed. When I passed by, I was shocked to find that it went out with a "pop" sound.
"Something happened to Shen Cheng, who killed him?" The young man stood up and his face darkened: "There are no big monsters within a hundred miles of Linhua County. Shen Cheng is also good at puppetry. As long as he doesn't offend the government, he can kill him. What danger?"
"Even if he offends the government, Dao Lu Si's documents can provide him with some protection. Although he himself is not a formal member, the counties and counties along the way will give him some face."
"Why are you dying now?" Just then I thought, a carrier pigeon flew in and dropped a letter without waiting to take it.
"It seems that I can't meditate today." The young man sighed. When he opened the letter, he started to carelessly. When he read the handwriting, he stood up and carefully opened it to read carefully.
After reading, the young man pondered for a long time before saying: "Since it is the master's order, I will go naturally, but little junior brother, the master has accepted a disciple again?"
Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but cast a shadow: "Did Master discover something?"
"No matter what, first kill the fox that ruined my business."

"Master? What happened?" Zheng Yingci stood up after just paying homage to the master, and found that the new master's face suddenly turned livid, and he was no longer calm. He was confused and asked cautiously.
He knew that his master was Liu Chen, the leader of the Yin Guan sect. The Yin Guan sect was a famous Taoist sect that had been awarded imperial titles in the past dynasties. The person in front of him was a bachelor of Guanwen Palace.
The Grand Bachelor of Guanwen Palace has a fifth-grade title. The key is not the grade, but the ability to participate in the center. Zheng Yingci was overjoyed when he found out his identity. He felt that he was lucky, but now he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that my choice was wrong?
No, it can't be wrong. Who would give up if there is such an opportunity to become a disciple? As soon as Zheng Yingci's thought came to his mind, he was pressed down.
Liu Chen was irritable, but the disciple he had just accepted was very much to his liking and would be of great use in the future, so he naturally became more patient.
"There was an accident." Liu Chen looked at the lake: "It is rare for a great enemy of my master to be doomed. He has to change his destiny and be reborn. I wanted to take the opportunity to kill it, and I also succeeded in leaving a mark on it. Every time I change my destiny, I will be weak for a few years. I don’t think it can escape. I don’t want it to suddenly disappear just now and never be found again.”
Seeing that Zheng Yingci looked puzzled after hearing this, he added: "This thief escaped to Panlong Lake, and the Dragon Palace was opened, or my brand was washed away. It's a shame."
"However, you can't kill the big thief, but you can kill the little thief."
Zheng Yingci immediately became a disciple because he knew that this Taoist was an expert. Facts have proved that he was right in his bet. He became a disciple of a big boss. However, Zheng Yingci could not guess who the big thief and the small thief were.
Could it be that the little thief was referring to Su Ziji?
When Zheng Yingci thought of this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was waiting to hear the master's plan. Even if the master killed someone, he had to follow a rule so that no one could catch him, so he could cooperate.
But Liu Chen's next words dashed Zheng Yingci's expectations.
"Remember, Taoists are not allowed to interfere at will in the disputes and conflicts of our human race." The old Taoist glanced at him, as if he saw what he was thinking, and warned: "But we must not be lenient when dealing with monsters. The reason why our Yin Guan sect is trusted by the court , that is, we will remain firm in our stance.”
Zheng Yingci choked.
Seeing that Zheng Yingci was speechless, Liu Chen sighed.
"The big thief is involved in the court situation. You can't get involved now. You can know a thing or two about the little thief."
"You must know that in this world, there are not only humans, but also monsters."
"It's okay to hide in a remote place and not harm anyone. There are also some monsters who like to live among people and use their popularity to cover up their evil aura."
"The Dragon Palace was opened just now, and I checked the boat, but it has a demonic aura."
"This is the trace left after the popularity collapsed. I have sent a message to your senior brother Cao Yiyan and asked him to deal with it quickly." Liu Chen said with murderous intent on his face: "Originally, Qingqiu is peaceful, and I don't want to make too many enemies. I don't want to unexpectedly Any fox who dares to fan the flames of trouble can be killed."
"That's all. What's even more hateful are the Confucian monsters. This kind of monster studies the Four Books and Five Classics, wears Confucian clothes, and even obtains honors and becomes an official. They are the most harmful. If you find out in the future, you will have to kill each one on sight."
"Yes, Master." Zheng Yingci responded quickly, and Liu Chen finally felt relieved.
When the two were talking, a white light fell directly in front of them. It was a carrier pigeon. Liu Chen only glanced at the carrier pigeon. A piece of paper from the carrier pigeon spontaneously ignited without wind, and then a man's voice came out: "Master, please don't worry, the disciple will leave now. Give Master an explanation."
"Your senior brother has received the order. For him, this matter is just a trivial matter." Liu Chen said nonchalantly with a wave of his sleeves.
