Rebirth of Journey to the West: My Father's Yellow Robe Monster

Chapter 10 City God's Temple Wishes
It's autumn now, and after a few heavy rains, it cools down immediately.

"The entry fee is ten coins per person."

Li Tianquan paid the money to enter the city. The county town is completely different from a small village. There are many roads and shops, all of which are two-story and three-story wooden buildings, creating a lively atmosphere.

Jin Ping'er came to the pawnshop several times to pawn things in order to collect money for Li Tianquan's medical treatment, and came to the pawnshop with ease.

"Oh, it's Sister Ping'er!" It was a skinny fellow who spoke.

The skinny guy was surnamed Sun, since he saw Jin Ping'er some time ago, he couldn't sleep at night, thinking about marrying this charming little lady many times.

When Jin Ping'er heard his address, her brows stood upright, and she reprimanded: "Well, you skinny monkey, who is your younger sister, if you dare to talk nonsense, be careful, grandma, I will tear your mouth off."

It was the first time for Li Tianquan to see this little girl's savage appearance, like a little milk cat with teeth and claws, not fierce, but cute.

Buddy Sun said with a smile: "Why isn't that young master dying yet?"

Jin Ping'er was immediately annoyed, and was about to step forward to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by Li Tianquan, "Ping'er, why bother with the villain?"

"When a girl encounters a dog barking, she just ignores it. If she really dares to be persistent, the county government's board is just for this kind of person."

After seeing Li Tianquan who came in with Jin Ping'er, Buddy Sun immediately changed his face and became a little ugly. He sneered and said, "It's Mr. Li? What are you going to sell again this time?"

Li Tianquan was a man of two generations, so he could tell at a glance that the guy was in love with Jin Ping'er, he probably guessed his identity, so he felt a little jealous.

Li Tianquan didn't even have to look at him, he took Jin Ping'er's jade hand, walked straight to the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, this time the stock is a bit too much, I don't know if you can make a decision."

With that said, the package was opened, revealing six volumes of books.

"Oh, these are the ancient books of imperial examinations. Why, are they all going to be sold this time?" The shopkeeper said in surprise, knowing the goods.

"It's all sold, how much do you think it's worth?" Li Tianquan said as he put the burden on the counter.

"Well, our two companies have been trading for many years, so I'll ask you a real price, 120 taels, how about it?" The shopkeeper said after carefully appraising it, and found that it was indeed genuine.

At this time, Buddy Sun stared at him, turned his eyes, and said, "Shopkeeper, such a large number, isn't it..."

The shopkeeper snorted coldly and said, "I've been the shopkeeper for 20 years, and within the 200 taels, I still have the right!"

He is also careful, the imperial examination scrolls are very expensive, at least 30 taels of silver for one volume, and it is more expensive as everyone explained, 50 taels of silver are priceless.

His own little grandson has reached the age of starting school, if he can get this set of books, it happens to be suitable for use, and he can save a lot of money.

You must know that there are too few scholars selling books in the market, and this Mr. Li is an arrogant master, even the city god dares to reprimand him.

If I offend him and stop selling books, wouldn't it be my own loss?
The shopkeeper's abacus was clanging, but the grandson's face was getting darker and darker, especially when he saw Jin Ping'er's tender little hand being held by Li Tianquan, the evil fire in his heart was burning more and more intense, and his eyes almost spewed fire.

As the shopkeeper said, he took out twelve gold leaves from the back to show his shape. Each piece of gold was one tael, which was exactly 120 taels of silver.

"Okay, that's it!" Li Tianquan thought about it according to his memory, the price was a bit cheap, but the price in a pawn shop was already very reasonable.

At this time, without saying a word, he took the gold and went out.

The shopkeeper put away the six volumes of books, Li Tianquan pawned them to death, he put the things into the account, and then bought them directly, although there were more procedures, it was still the pawn shop's rules.

"Shopkeeper, this..." Buddy Sun said.

The shopkeeper murmured looking at the account book, but gave Buddy Sun a warning look, and murmured, "No matter how dilapidated this scholarly family is, we can't compare with it."

Buddy Sun turned his eyes when he heard this. After a while, he patted and said, "Shopkeeper, the boss asked me to collect an ancient jade in the morning. I forgot about it, so I'll go now."

As he spoke, he ran out before waiting for the shopkeeper to respond.

……

In the town god's temple of the county, in the dead of night, there are often ghosts crying and screaming, mournful and mournful, and the echoes are heard from afar. In addition, the local town god has appeared many times, and the local people are very awed.

"It's scary,"

Rao is Buddy Sun who is full of resentment, looking at the mottled shadows in the Temple of the City God, he feels terrified.

He looked up and saw the temple was secluded, with no background, only an old mulberry tree in front of the gate, embracing each other, graceful and canopy, rustling when the wind blows.

Thinking of all the horrors of the Town God's Temple, Buddy Sun didn't dare to look any further, prostrated himself in front of the door, and said respectfully, "The villain, Sun Ergou, begged to see the temple and wished mother-in-law. I have news about the villain Li Tianquan."

The door of the temple was pushed open, and a silver-haired old woman walked out from the inside, dressed in red and tied with a green ribbon, leaning on a cane, on which there was a faint blue and black shadow hovering, hissing. The sound, creepy.

"Are you Sun Ergou?"

The old woman was from the Chenghuang Temple, and the creases on her face kept shaking. She paused the crutch in her hand, and said, "You just said that there is news about Li Tianquan. Is he still alive?"

"Grandma, it's like this."

Sun Ergou was eloquent, so he took over the conversation and told the story exactly.

There was a faint light in Miao Zhu's eyes, and he said with a dry and hoarse voice like a night owl, "I really can't think that Li Tianquan, a boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, can live for so long."

After a pause, Miao Zhu waved his long sleeves, and the crutch in his hand fell to the ground, making a killing sound, and said, "I know the news, you go back."

In this short period of time, the clothes behind Sun Ergou's back were already soaked, and he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he made a big salute before turning around and leaving.

"Li Tianquan..."

Miao Zhu watched him leave, and closed the temple door with a bang, the green light in his eyes danced, and said coldly, "I offended the City God, and let you live for such a long time, it's really my sin."

Whoa!
The next moment, above the gate of the temple, there was a dark wind blowing, and a black light that was invisible to the naked eye slowly rose, and it folded lightly, like a figure, and disappeared towards the outside of the temple in a blink of an eye.

……

Li Tianquan and Jin Ping'er were walking in the south of the city, where there were endless pedestrians, businessmen and travelers, and it was very prosperous, many of them were wearing swords.

The two found a bookstore, and when they got inside, a waiter greeted them with warm smiles.

This bookstore is very elegant, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, sunlight coming in through the windows, making the room mottled, an old man sitting quietly reading a book.

Seeing a guest coming in, the old man gently put down the book in his hand, signed it with a bookmark, stood up and smiled, "What book do you want to read, young master?"

"Old man!" Li Tianquan cupped his hands slightly and said, "Is there the Nine Classics of Ming Jingke here?"

The old man stroked his beard and showed a complacent expression: "This old man has nine volumes of the Mingjing Science Examination, I wonder how much the young master wants?"

Li Tianquan said with a smile: "My old man has quite a collection, let me take a look first."

"Please."

Li Tianquan walked to the bookshelf, and took out a scroll, all of which were handwritten ink books. Just by looking at it, he knew that it was indeed a complete scripture.

In just a few breaths, the missing three volumes of "Zuo Zhuan", "Gu Liang Zhuan" and "Gongyang Zhuan" were silently entered into the system.

Skills: Imperial Examination Nine Classics (one star)
Li Tianquan couldn't help but be delighted to see that the incomplete characters of the Nine Classics of the Imperial Examination had disappeared on the system panel.

He showed a few more volumes, then stopped reading, and smiled faintly: "Old man, I don't know how much this volume of "Zuo Zhuan" is worth?"

The old man smiled and stretched out a finger: "One roll is priced at 50 taels of silver."

Even for a yamen errand, the monthly income is only consistent, which is very expensive for ordinary people.

Li Tianquan pretended to sigh: "Old man, 50 taels for a volume is really expensive, that's all, let's talk about it later..."

Jin Ping'er saw that her young master sold the books worth 50 taels of silver for a cheap price, and now she regretted it a lot, and only felt that she should have persuaded the young master more.

"Master, did we sell at a loss?" Jin Ping'er's eyes turned red when he thought of losing such a large sum of money.

Li Tianquan laughed and said, "Silly girl, how can the price of selling books be the same as buying new books?"

He comforted her a few words, but the girl was still depressed, until Li Tianquan bought her a candy figurine, and then she smiled.

After the two simply ate in the city, they walked home together without using a carriage.

Although the county seat is not too far away from home, it is still more than ten miles away. The master and servant walked quite fast, but when they were about to get home, it was already dark.

After running for a whole day, Jin Ping'er was very tired, and soon fell asleep.

Li Tianquan's physique is strong, and Kui Mu's Sirius blood has unlimited potential, which is not comparable to ordinary people. He is still full of energy after running around for a day.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch, he continued to practice the Five Qi Chaoyuan Zhenjie, and his handprints were changing and mysterious.

At this moment, an elongated shadow twisted on the ground, intertwined with mottled patterns, like half-closed eyes, eerie and frightening.

At some point, there was black air rising above Li Tianquan's head, making a hissing sound like a poisonous snake.

His eyes opened suddenly, and he felt as if his body was being suppressed by a millstone, and fear, evil, viciousness, bloodthirsty, and other negative emotions were constantly impacting.

　Thanks to the big guy for the reward
