Dao fruit.

Qiu Yan's scholar avatar has walked through the streets and alleys for more than a dozen days, entering teahouses and wine shops from time to time, listening to the storytellers tell stories, stories, and legends.While observing, calmly, he passed the gathered incense thoughts through the black hole in his soul to the god himself.

As time passed, the atmosphere in Yuanning City became more and more serious, and the children who gathered here became more and more nervous——

The day of release is getting closer.

Early this morning, Qiu Yan's avatar walked around the street, looked at the time, then entered a restaurant, ordered two dishes, and ate slowly.

In the middle of the wine shop, a well-known old Confucian scholar who was over half a century old was happily telling the story of the general of the Qi family.

Qiu Yan was also listening, jotting down every sentence.

In his perception, every word spoken by the half-hundred Confucian scholars seemed to be transformed into intangible characters, entered into the heart from both ears, followed by a turn, but was absorbed by the living soul, condensed into a book in the living soul, It fell into the bookshelf marked with the word "collection".

There are several volumes sparsely placed on the bookshelves of this collection, including poetry collections, dictionaries, story books, legends, operas, other collections, and even half of Daozang!

Qiu Yan's earth soul is divided into four shelves, Jingshiziji, Jingbu bookshelves have already placed many volumes, all of which are comprehension and annotations of Confucian classics, but the Shibu bookshelves are still empty, as for Zibu bookshelves, they are just placed It is a fragmentary slip, but it is condensed from the spirit of the sages' manuscripts.

Compared with before, the aura emanating from the earth soul bookshelf has changed a little, with more earth air and normal heart, less dusty and mysterious, but it is Qiu Yan who has been walking around the streets these days and listening to it too much. Ordinary words, and collected a lot of folk texts, condensed in the soul, so that the soul of the earth has more accumulation.

The storyteller in the wine shop talked for a while, then stopped talking, spit out a sentence "predict what will happen next, and listen to the next chapter to break it down", then tidied up and left the hall.

In the restaurant, there was inevitably a discussion.

"This Qi family army is really loyal and brave, a loyal family."

"Yes."

……

Discussing and discussing, the topic quickly shifted from Pingshu to things around me, and one person said: "Have you ever eaten at Zhangji Tavern recently? Their cooks have greatly improved their cooking skills. There were not many people in the past. Go, if you want to eat now, you have to wait in line!"

Immediately, someone laughed and said: "This is nothing new. Old Liu just returned to the city. He didn't know it. The neighbors have already spread the word. Why do you think the cook in Zhang Ji's family suddenly improved his cooking skills?"

The man before said strangely: "Oh? Is there a reason behind it?"

"Of course there is," someone laughed again, "The chef Wang of Zhang Ji worshiped the kitchen god and was blessed by the gods, so he had such a chance. I heard that he was about to be dismissed, but after worshiping the gods, his luck suddenly changed. Already!"

"That's strange. It's quite common to pray to a god to ask for a child. This kind of worship can also make delicious food. This is the first time I've heard of it. It's not a rumor, is it?"

Immediately, someone retorted: "Why is it a rumor? Now in Yuanning City, many restaurants and restaurants have invited Mr. Zao to enter the door. Don't mention it, the food is really better than before!"

"This is the truth. Even the small restaurant in front of our house invited God the day before yesterday. After that, the oily smoke wafting from the restaurant is even more fragrant than before!"

"However, even if the kitchen god is invited, there is still a difference. Chef Wang from Zhang Ji cooks the best food. It is said that it is because he worships God sincerely and does not have the utilitarianism of others!"

"That's true, but Zaogong is so effective, I'm thinking about inviting him into the house in two days to improve the food."

"I can't, I can't," the shopkeeper of the tavern came at some time, and said after hearing everyone's words, "Master Zao can't be invited so casually, you ordinary people, it's better not to act rashly and be careful of collisions." the gods."

"That's all right, all right, shopkeeper Fu, who doesn't know what you're thinking, because you're afraid that every family will invite the Kitchen God, and you'll lose your money. You're too petty."

After hearing this, the bystanders also understood the doorway inside, laughed and cursed one after another, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became lively for a while.

In the corner of the restaurant, Qiu Yan finished two dishes, put a few copper coins on the table, got up and left.

"What the City God of the capital said is right. There are specializations in arts, and there are differences in legal professions. Only when the characteristics are presented and bring benefits to the believers can the sacrifices be consolidated and spread. In just a few days, my incense has grown considerably. Few, the name of the god spreads even more quickly, although most of the priests are curious, and few are in awe, but when the base is sufficient, pious people will be born."

Thinking in his heart, Qiu Yan went back to Liu's old house.

When he first returned to Yuanning, he lived in an inn, but when he finished his road test and had free time, he followed Liu Huai's instructions and found someone to clean the Liu family's old house and moved in. He stayed there these days. here.

Back in the courtyard, Qiu Yan went into the original room, sat quietly with his eyes closed, mobilized his soul, and sorted out the harvest.

"I collected a lot of miscellaneous talks and story books today. The Qi family will be loyal and loyal, and his deeds have been widely spread. There are also principles of life in the Qi family. They are condensed and sent to the soul of the earth. It is a good supplement."

Silence, reminiscence, Qiu Yan's breath was introverted, and it was about time for a cup of tea before he opened his eyes again, then picked up a book, opened it and read it.

With the sound of reading, there is movement at the corner of the table, and the baby crawls out.

While reading, Qiu Yan slowly frowned, his face gradually turned pale, and a tingling pain erupted in his soul again.Compared with more than ten days ago, Qiu Yan's resistance to stinging pain has improved a lot, except for his pale complexion and frowning, there is no other abnormality.

I am engrossed in reading, and I don't know the time.

Outside Liu's house, several neighbors came out to wash and pour water, and some of them stared at Liu's house with dissatisfaction.

It turned out that since the Liu family moved to Qingchang and the house was vacant, it would be used by several neighbors for other purposes from time to time. I never thought that Qiu Yan would suddenly live in it a few days ago, messing up their plans, and it was inevitable that they would be hostile and complain.

"Old Liu's family has suffered a lot from poverty. First, Old Liu's sister was cheated by that old scholar Lin, and now Old Liu himself was forced to go away by his nephew who couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar. "

"Isn't that right, the courtyard is about to be taken over by this scholar when he leaves."

"I've seen Qiu Yan when he was young, and he doesn't look promising at first glance. Does such a person want to be famous in his studies? It's so hard!"

The neighbor's woman, who was dissatisfied in her heart, wanted her parents to babble, and there was no lack of viciousness in what she said, but all these complaints and malice disappeared by noon the next day, and turned into surprise and fear.

On this day, Qiu Yan, as usual, first wandered the streets and alleys, and then went back to the courtyard to study, but after noon, there was a noise in the alley, with the sound of drums and gongs.

"What's this for at noon?"

"Disturbing the peace of the people!"

"Which family is wicked..."

Neighbors went out to inquire one by one, but saw a group of people pouring into the alley, beating gongs and drums, beaming.

Seeing this scene, the neighbors of the Liu family felt a thump in their hearts when they recalled the lively scene they had seen before.

Then, I saw those people coming outside Liu's house, shouting: "I got it! I got it! Mr. Qiu got it! Top of the list! No. [-] in the Taoist test!"

These people are here to announce the good news!
