Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 116
Early the next morning, Qin Chuan, who had been working on the manuscript all night, took the manuscript to the Dragon King Temple.

Wei Liangye was very satisfied after reading the manuscript.

And what surprised him was that Qin Chuan also wrote two other stories, and the two heroines above the wrong sedan chair were named respectively.

The characters have similar temperaments, but in fact they encountered different situations.

He thought to himself, Qin Chuan might have written this long ago.

That's amazing too.

Writing is hard work.

Wei Liangye roughly read the manuscript, and found that every word and every sentence was excellent, and he couldn't find anything to revise for a while.

Qin Chuan smiled: "If there are any mistakes or omissions, Boss Wei can modify them by himself. In this way, it will be more in line with your wishes."

Wei Liangye was startled and said, "How can this be done?"

Poems and articles, even storytelling and story books, are all written with painstaking efforts, and it is really disrespectful for others to modify them wantonly.

Qin Chuan said softly: "Articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance. Besides, I believe that Boss Wei will be cautious. If it is someone else, I will not allow it."

Wei Liangye's reputation is tied to this opera, and his food and clothing are where he lives, so he will naturally put great effort into it.

"Good sentence." Wei Liangye's eyes lit up, and he casually said something to Qin Chuan, quite admiringly.

He couldn't help feeling that Qin Liuxian would have a chance to become a person like Su Xian in the next few hundred years.Such a masterpiece at such a young age makes people infinitely envious.

Even if Qin Chuan's official career does not go well in the future, with his literary talent, it will be passed down to future generations, which is enough to make ninety-nine percent of scholars in the world envy him.

Fame and wealth, only a "name" character, it is not in vain to come to the world for a while.

Then Wei Liangye asked Qin Chuan to see the horse.

There are Tibetan horses, grassland Mongolian horses, and big food horses from overseas...

Qin Chuan looked at it and was not very satisfied.

However, he bought a horse mainly for decoration, and he just chose a horse to live on.

He was going to choose the big food horse. The back of the big food horse was as soft as silk, and it felt good to ride.

At this time, Miaozhu of the Dragon King Temple brought a green donkey and sent it to the troupe, which seemed to be used to carry luggage.

Qin Chuan's heart suddenly moved and he looked over.

He suddenly changed his mind, "Boss Wei, what do you think of this green donkey?"

"Does Mr. Qin want to ride a donkey for a study tour?"

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and said: "There is a poem in the past. There are dust and wine marks on the clothes, and you can't travel anywhere without losing your soul. Is this body suitable for a poet? Xiao Yu rode a donkey into the sword gate. I saw it and thought of this poem. Poetry, I feel that I have a relationship with it."

"Predecessors? This poem is good, but Xiao Ke is ignorant and ignorant, but has never heard of it. Where did Qin Xianggong get it?"

"I heard it from an old traveler who passed by, and said it was an ancient poem."

"Oh, then this green donkey will be given to Mr. Qin."

Wei Liangye had the impression that the troupe didn't have this green donkey before, so it seemed that the people below added it.The troupe of Huo Guanyin came in and out of many things, and many of them were gifts from fans who joined the show. Therefore, before leaving every time, they would exchange many things for food and the like to help the poor. Not a lot.

Because some gifts are really not easy to sell, for fear of offending others.

He failed to go out to choose a horse, but instead brought back a green donkey.

Qin Chuan didn't have a whim, but a thought in his heart. He felt that the green donkey had some fate with him. Naturally, in his world, such an idea would not come up for no reason. Since he didn't like those horses, he might as well choose this green donkey.

The Qingxuan sword is blue, the green donkey is also blue, and the green gourd is still blue.

It seems that he and Qingte are destined.

The green donkey is not very big, it may not be suitable for riding, but it is just right for luggage.Although there are green gourds, we still need to get some luggage outside to decorate the appearance.

This is the fairy-level study tour.

It seems that you only have a little stuff, but you are actually well prepared.

Qin Chuan handed over the Qingyu case to Ming Pao for publication, and then went home.

Ying Ning came up to meet him, seeing the little green donkey, his eyes sparkled with curiosity, "Is this a horse?"

She still can't tell what is a horse and what is a donkey.

"It's a donkey."

"Is there any difference between a donkey and a horse?"

"Donkey meat is better than horse meat. As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky, and donkey meat on the ground. Donkey meat tastes as good as dragon meat."

The green donkey seemed dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's statement, and raised its hoof.

Ying Ning looked at its bright eyes, it was very beautiful, it turned into a fox body, jumped on the green donkey's back, and felt more comfortable than a swaddling baby, "Brother, the donkey is very good, we don't eat it."

"Well, don't eat."

As a little Tianhu with good food, it is a great love if you don't eat it.

The green donkey had a bit of a temper, but when Ying Ning was on it, the breath of the sky fox made it much more peaceful.

On the second day, Qin Chuan quietly took Ying Ning out.

The little girl turned into a fox body, so that it was convenient to play around on the road, while Qingqing put her body into a green gourd, and dressed herself as a book boy.

Qin Chuan taught her the breath restraining technique. Although she has not made much progress in practice, she can learn the breath restraining technique, so even a monk like Qingyun Daoist can't see the clear roots.

When traveling abroad, it is less conspicuous to bring a handsome bookboy with you than to bring a beautiful maid.

...

...

During the six months in Lingzhou City, Qin Chuan experienced many festivals.Festivals are born, some to commemorate ancestors, some to bless one's own safety, and some for other things.

Festivals and sacrifices to gods are inseparable.

Whether it was in the Liang Dynasty or the era he was in, worshiping the gods is something to ask for.If the gods do not respond, they will naturally decline.

On this land, the gods are more conscientious than the officials.

Because people's fat and people's anointment can support idle officials, but not idle gods.

Regardless of whether it is a sacrifice to the gods or a festival, it has been passed down to this day, and it has shown a kind of human touch in the world of mortals.

It's just that Qin Chuan has a sense of alienation.

That was his arrogance to the whole world, and he still couldn't get into it.

He knew this, but he couldn't ignore his own heart.

Therefore, Qin Chuan's departure was silent, and he did not plan to have a separate party.

Whether it is Wang Fu, Zhou Zhifu, or Zheng Tu, although they are old friends and relatives, they have never been able to integrate into his real life.

But it does not hinder the friendship between them.

It's just that it's mostly different from what they expected.

Just when it was warm and cold, there was a sudden wind and rain on the road, and the surrounding area was deserted. Qin Chuan didn't plan to go forward in the rain.

He led the green donkey and took Ying Ning and Qing Qing to a temple not far away.

Although they are not afraid of cold, heat, wind and rain, but give God a face.

Just in time for a rest.

There are still some white catkins in the rain, which are snowflakes, and this is sleet.When it falls, it is colder than falling snow directly, and it is not so beautiful.

It's not as good as a pure rain, dripping on the grass and ticking on the eaves.

Qin Chuan and his party walked into the dilapidated temple.

Although the temple was dilapidated, the overall building was intact, but it was empty, and no monk appeared.

The Buddha statue in the main hall is also gone.

In the Buddhist hall, there is some chaos.

Qin Chuan knew in his heart that it seemed that the temple had been robbed.

The absence of Buddha statues is the most obvious proof.

Because in a temple, the Buddha statues are often the most valuable.In ancient times, when the imperial court exterminated Buddha, they had to recast Buddha statues and use them to cast money.

A Buddha statue can range from a few hundred catties to as many as several thousand catties or even tens of thousands of catties. Luxurious Buddhist temples are even made of copper, with gold foil on the surface as a golden Buddha statue.

The poorer ones will also be cast with some copper blends, and the poorest ones are nothing more than wooden ones, which also need to be painted with a gold paint.

So it's not unreasonable for Buddha to be rich.

How can the poor enshrine such a Buddha statue?

Judging from the remaining traces of the shrine, the Buddha statue removed from it should be made of copper.

Ordinary thieves can't do such a thing.

It shows that there are many thieves, and they are not afraid of being pursued by the government. It also shows that the world is getting more and more difficult.

The social fires and lantern festivals in Lingzhou Prefecture are actually like a dream before the bustling shattered.

Qingqing first cleaned a clean place for Yingning to rest.She changed back into a girl and was watched by Ying Ning.The green donkey is in the corner of the Buddhist temple, it is very peaceful, and it is still a little female donkey.

Qin Chuan always felt that it was a little strange, but Yuanshenfa saw that there was nothing unusual about the little green donkey, and he didn't have a monster aura.

He found some dry firewood wetted by rain and snow from the courtyard behind the temple, and used Yuanshen to remove the water directly, and lit a bonfire in the temple.

He is not afraid of the cold, but thinks rainy days, ancient temples, and a bonfire in the Buddhist hall will be very artistic.Under the light of the fire, Ying Ning also slept very peacefully.

Qingqing is no longer afraid of fire.

The little green donkey also came over to warm the fire and dry the wet hair on his body.

It is lying on its side beside the bonfire in a demure manner, very ladylike.Luggage is also beside it.

It was a gloomy and cold rainy weather. In the deserted ancient temple, the cold wind was blowing outside, which was quite eerie, but they gathered around the campfire, and they seemed like a happy family.

Soon at night, Qin Chuan asked Qingqing and Xiao Yingning to rest in the gourd, because the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't know when it would stop, and there was lightning.

Ying Ning was still a little scared of Lei Ting.

She is also used to Qingqing sleeping with her.

The rain keeps falling.

And it is getting bigger and bigger and there is no trend to stop.Bean-sized raindrops hit the roof of the Buddhist hall and fell on the ground outside the hall, making non-stop noises.

It's like many monks are beating wooden fish.

Qin Chuan also has a wooden fish artifact from Yuanye.

It was a magic weapon to subdue demons and ghosts. It was useful to Qin Chuan, but not much.

A carriage braved the rain and came outside the temple.

Coachman: "Master, Ma'am, let's go to shelter from the rain first."

"There is a fire in the temple. It should not be an abandoned temple. It seems that we can't reach the town. Ma'am, let's go in and take shelter from the rain first." A middle-aged man lifted the curtain of his car, and through the rain curtain, he saw the inside of the temple with the gate open. firelight.

"Well, we'll give you more sesame oil money later, don't argue when you're away from home."

When they approached the gate and saw the situation in the main hall, they realized that it was a deserted temple. In the light of the fire, the Buddha statues were gone.

But there was a young man by the fire with a green donkey.

The middle-aged man asked the coachman to park the carriage, and then the three of them entered the hall.

The temple was empty, and a young man was warming himself by the fire in the Buddha hall late at night. We had to admire his courage.

Of course, it may also be the incarnation of mountain spirits and ghosts.

But after walking in, the middle-aged man was relieved to see that Qin Chuan was dressed as a scholar.

It seems that the other party is a scholar on a study tour.

Going out, in the wilderness, when scholars see scholars, they will naturally be more cordial.

"Ning Heng, a member of the Huaning Mansion. I don't know how to call this gentleman?"

"Qin Chuan from Lingzhou."

"Qin Chuan? Could it be the number one talented scholar in Lingzhou who wrote 'People in the deep forest don't know, but the bright moon comes to see'?" Ning Heng was quite surprised, but also joyful.

Qin Chuan didn't expect that outside the Lingzhou mansion, in the wilderness, he could meet someone who had heard his name before. He was so famous?
"It's down."

"It really shines. Brother Qin, sitting alone in the ancient temple late at night and enjoying the rain, is really extraordinary. No wonder he can write those articles and poems."

As the saying goes, two people do not look at the well, and one does not enter the temple.People who come to the temple alone late at night are either ignorant or have amazing courage.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "Brother Ning, there is no need to praise, since we meet each other by fate, let your family members and servants come here to enjoy the fire, and I will go to the Buddha Hall to rest."

Ning Heng: "Secular etiquette is only set up for ordinary people. Qin Chuan's literary talent shines through the ages, how can he be ordinary people? He is both his wife and admirer. Since brother Qin is willing to invite us to warm up, then we have the audacity to stay here. It just so happens that Ning also wants to to ask you questions."

Then, Ning Heng's wife, Mrs. Liu, and servants also came in.

Liu's temperament is gentle and doesn't talk much, but she still said thank you to Qin Chuan and snuggled up to Ning Heng.

During the conversation, Qin Chuan found out that Ning Heng was the spokesperson of Ke Dao. Because he offended the powerful and suffered many difficulties, he resigned angrily and was returning to his hometown in Huaning Mansion.

He also has a son under his knees, who is taken care of by the elderly in his hometown. Now he is only seven years old, and he can already read the four books and five classics, and he has a little understanding of its meaning.

The name of his beloved son really surprised Qin Chuan slightly.

"My surname is Ning, and my first name is Caichen."

If Qin Chuan wants to collect ideas, he will probably start with those famous people in Liaozhai. Isn't Ning Caichen a famous person in Liaozhai?

In fact, it is very difficult to find people in Liao Zhai, because there is no specific historical background, and there may be no place names. Maybe the person you are looking for may not be born yet, or was born hundreds of years ago.

Unless he has the book of life and death in the underworld.

Or wherever they go, they look for the City God and look through the book of life and death.

But asking the city god to borrow the book of life and death would be suspected of contempt for the underworld, and Qin Chuan did not intend to be so reckless for the time being.

It's just that I didn't expect that there is nowhere to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

Casually hiding in the rain, unexpectedly found out Ning Caichen's whereabouts.

Of course, he originally planned to go to Jinhua County, Huaning Prefecture to try his luck, but the original Wen Ning Caichen met Xiaoqian after Xiaoqian became a ghost. God knows how old Xiaoqian was then.

Now Xiaoqian is only twelve or thirteen years old.

Moreover, Xiaoqian's fate has changed. Now that she is practicing Taoism in Mount Emei, she may become a female sword fairy in the future, and she will no longer go to Lanruo Temple to become a female ghost. The fate with Ning Caichen will be broken.

Qin Chuan intentionally made friends, and even talked and laughed happily with Ning Heng.He also said that he has always admired the style of Huaning Mansion, and he can go to Huaning Mansion together to gain experience after the rain stops.

Where is a study tour not a study tour?

Ning Heng was very happy, and said earnestly: "Liu Xian came out to study for the first time, but he didn't know it. The world has not been peaceful in recent years. When I came back this way, I was a little scared. If it wasn't for the old servant at home who was able to punch and kick, I would have left first. A section of the canal, and then landed on the shore, light vehicles should not stop all the way, otherwise you will encounter some troubles. You should not travel alone in the future, so as not to worry your family."

Qin Chuan thought to himself, "I really don't have to worry about the robbers."

He smiled and said, "I don't have any other family members, only Shemei and Yishutong. I'll ask them to come out."

He went to the apse, and then came out with Qingqing and Yingning.

Ning Heng saw Ying Ning, carved in pink and jade, very cute.After asking about Ying Ning's life experience, Qin Chuan withdrew the details and gave a general overview before he sighed.It can be said that Qin Chuan raised his cousin's daughter with affection and righteousness.

Mrs. Liu felt sorry for Ying Ning's life experience, so she hurriedly took out honey for Ying Ning to eat.

Ying Ning was not very happy when she was woken up, but when she saw Honey, she put aside her anger and smiled happily.

There were children's laughter and laughter in the hall, and it became more and more lively.

But the wind and rain outside suddenly stopped, and the moon was in the sky for a while, which was very clear.

Not long after, there were footsteps outside.

A group of quacks came in.

The bonfire is brightly lit, and the moon is shining brightly.The courtyard of the Buddha Hall is covered with glazed tiles, and with the bonfire, the hall is not too dark.

Seeing Qin Chuan and the others, the group suddenly gasped.

One of them walked up to Qin Chuan, "Master, I didn't expect that we would meet again. We are so destined, how about exchanging names? Li Tie, from Guobei County, they are all brothers from my hometown."

It turned out that this group of Jianghu people were the few people who met at the Kitchen God Temple that day.

Qin Chuan remembered it, and said with a smile, "Qin Chuan in Lingzhou."

"Brother, I seem to have heard of this name before."

"I also have some impressions."

A person's name can impress people who have never met before, and it shows something extraordinary in itself.They walked the rivers and lakes, and they knew this very well.

He dared not underestimate Qin Chuan.

Li Tie didn't continue to disturb, but asked the brothers to sit further away.

They talked in a low voice, their attention was quickly pulled away from Qin Chuan, and they talked about the purpose of their trip.It turned out that there was a tiger disaster on the mountain, and it is said that a head of the Heifeng Village was killed.

Heifengzhai was the bandits who robbed this Buddhist temple. They took the Buddha statues to be melted and cast, and made a fortune.

On the way back to Heifengzhai, the head of Heifengzhai was killed by a tiger, and a few minions ran away.

News spread that the head of the family had a lot of money.

The tiger killed a man and dragged away the body, and the money also fell to the tiger.

Tigers don't know how to eat copper coins, let alone know how, the money is definitely still there.This group of people went up the mountain just to tease the tiger, but it rained heavily and washed away the traces, so the tiger was naturally not easy to find.

I am a little worried about this.

They have learned a little skill, relying on their numbers, they are not afraid of tigers.

When everyone is discussing.

A roar of a tiger resounded in the bright moon, accompanied by gusts of dark wind, many vague ghost figures appeared outside the temple.

"Ghost!" A Jianghu man exclaimed in horror.

"This is no ordinary tiger, but a tiger."

"It's over."

All the Jianghu people who hadn't put the tiger in their eyes just now suddenly had expressions of surprise on their faces.

There is a world of difference between a tiger and a tiger trained to become a demon.

Ning Heng also turned pale, grabbed his wife Liu Shi's hand, and said to Qin Chuan: "Brother Qin, you will send your sister and my wife away first, and I will learn some swordsmanship, so I will stay and break up with Lao Xu."

He has a sword on him, but it's really just for decoration.

The ghosts didn't wait for the people inside to calm down before entering, but poured into the Buddhist hall one by one.This Buddhist temple doesn't even have a Buddha statue, let alone Buddha power.

After the lead ghost came in, he let out a sharp howl, and his face was very menacing.

They were very timid when they were alive, and they became a ghost, and they became a lot more courageous.

These people from the rivers and lakes know some fists and kicks, but their martial arts are only at the level of skin training, their blood is not strong, and they are not enough to face a large number of ghosts.

The accident came suddenly, and the ghost came in very quickly.

Accompanied by the sharp ghost howls and the eerie appearance, everyone panicked.

After Ning Heng finished speaking, the other hand just held the hilt of the sword, trembling very much.

The Buddha Hall has been buried by howling ghosts, and there are gusts of wind rushing in, beating the bonfire, and the scene is extremely frightening.

The atmosphere is scary.

"Noisy."

A young man's voice echoed in the main hall, like the sound of an ancient temple bell, reverberating in the Buddhist hall.
