Hearing that Chen Chu was going on a long trip, Old Man Fan's turbid eyes reflected Chen Chu's silhouette. For the first time, he didn't choke. He asked quietly: "Are you going to take the merit examination?"

Chen Chu shook his head and smiled: "It's not about fame. I'm used to idle intrigues that are not suitable for officialdom. I just promised my friends to do something. It's a high mountain and a long road. It may take several months to come back." He held his hand gently. Old Man Fan said with his withered hands: "You are too stubborn. You will be happy if you restrain yourself. I have asked the neighbors to come over from time to time. If you need anything, you can ask them and they will help you."

Old Man Fan held Chen Chu's hands tightly with his backhand and said with great force: "The world is getting more and more chaotic. There is chaos outside and bandits and bandits are everywhere. You...you have to come back as soon as possible."

There was a trace of concern in Lao Fantou's dry voice.

Chen Chu's heart warmed, he withdrew his hand, took out three talisman papers from his pocket, put them in his hand and said, "Although I am a scholar, I have also learned some magic from the masters. These three talisman papers, folded into Carry the two triangular pieces with you, do not touch fire, they can ward off evil spirits and ensure temporary peace. If these two talismans turn into ashes, please burn the last talisman immediately and speak to the fire, and I will know."

After he said this, he clasped his fists, picked up a small bag, and left through the courtyard gate. The back of the talisman has A-mei's birthday and horoscope, so it won't hurt her.

Old Man Fan walked to the door and looked at the direction Chen Chu was leaving. He didn't say anything. He just walked back to the yard and sat on the stone again to look at the rapeseed flowers on the ground.

Chen Chu was walking in Zichuan County with a small bag on his arm. When he passed by the door of Tan Jinxuan's house, he stopped. Xu Sanniang happened to be sweeping the floor and wanted to invite him in. Chen Chu declined, and took out a booklet from his luggage and handed it to Xu Sanniang: "Brother Tan has helped me a lot. My practice book should be of some help to him. The small red letters in it are personal comments and experiences. I hope Brother Tan will use his discretion." Just for reference..."

Xu Sanniang took the booklet and found that it was very hard, the words inside were very clear, and the pages were white and clean. She was about to say thank you.

Chen Chu smiled and waved his hand: "Where I rent a house, the old man Fan Ming is alone. If Brother Tan has time, he can occasionally go over and help. Chen will be very grateful."

Xu Sanniang nodded in agreement.

She didn't understand why the old man and Chen Chu had such a good relationship since they were neither relatives nor friends. They were just tenants. But she soon figured it out, because Chen Chu had a chivalrous spirit in him. What is a chivalrous person? He who sees injustice on the road, kills evildoers, and not only knows how to wield a sword, but also knows how to care, is a chivalrous person. Of course, this is Tan Jinxuan A sentence written on a book in Juren's father's study.

Outside the county gate of Zichuan County.

Ah Ha drove an ox cart and waited for a long time: "Master, it's ready."

Chen Chu hummed and sat on the cart behind the bullock cart: "Just call me Young Master from now on. Now go find your two brothers."

Ah La stiffened up and was already mentally prepared, but when Chen Chu said it, he still couldn't help but stand on his head. At this moment, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay."

Chen Chu took out the wooden box and replaced the original wooden box lid with high-transparent glass, so that he could see the direction of the blood flow inside without opening the lid.

The old cow spread its hooves and pulled the cart slowly.

Chen Chu watched the place where he had lived for more than a month gradually disappear from his sight. He took out a bottle of water and poured it on his face. He liked the feeling of being soaked in cold water.

This time the direction is to the south.

The matter of the Five-Tong God is not that simple. According to Ah Ha’s confession, the five brothers who claimed to be the Five-Tong God were actually just practicing the Wu-Tong Mysterious Technique. The boss had the highest magic power and was also the most mysterious! At first, he was inseparable from his brothers, but then his appearances gradually became less and less...

Lao Wu Bai Chang once secretly said this to Ah Ha.

Bai Chang suspected that the boss had found the real Wutong Demon God through the Wutong Secret Technique, so his level of cultivation had increased so quickly! At first Ah Ha thought Bai Chang was talking nonsense and thinking too much. As time went by, the boss seemed to be getting more and more wrong. The madman who was once full of foul language and rough appearance became gentle and elegant, and even read like humans.

You know, he is a layman of Qingwan!

Although he wears the appearance of a scholar, it is only on the outside. Who would actually read that troublesome book of sages, just memorize a few poems to support the scene, there is no need to take it seriously.

Chen Chu had a vague feeling that he might have a chance encounter with the real Wutong Demon God this time when he went to the south. He looked through the Liaozhai stories and couldn't find anything other than "Wutong". The five characters in "Wutong" The monsters are most likely the five brothers Zongren, Bai Chang and Qingwan Jushi. After all, they can be killed by warriors in the original work, so they meet this condition very well.

It's just that he has no clue as to the origin of the real Wutong Demon God. He has looked up relevant information before, and the answers given on the Internet are very polarizing. The former is an orthodox Tiangong priest who travels in the mortal world, is compassionate, and kills evildoers. . The latter is a mandrill in the wilderness that has become a climate, specializing in sucking the pure yin of women to grow...

The wooden wheels were wrapped in leather and were still bumpy on the road. Chen Chu pasted a piece of talisman paper on the cart to reduce the weight. It was not that he couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling, but that the old cow that Ah Ha was driving had begun to show symptoms of fatigue. state. Under the blue sky and white sun, it is impossible to summon the mountain rat spirit as a coolie. He can temporarily find an old cow, and Ah Ha has done his best.

A few days later.

After a sudden heavy rain, the originally uneven road became muddy. Fortunately, the cart was blessed with talisman paper, so Lao Niu was not affected too much...

Chen Chu was sitting cross-legged on the trolley practicing, when he suddenly heard Ah Ha's voice shouting: "The scholar in front of me, give way!"

He opened his eyelids.

There is a thirty-year-old man in front of him wearing a gray gown. The ground has not yet dried up after the rain. There are puddles and mud puddles everywhere. He is holding a book in his hand and reading aloud as if no one else is around. He does not care about his boots stepping into the mud puddles. The corners of his clothes were stained with patches of half-dried mud.

Chen Chu pretended to be a scholar and lived in Zichuan County for more than a month. He also met several scholars, including Tan Jinxuan. There is no such selfless state in studying...

The old cow was walking very fast, and the cart was rocking back and forth. Aha could only stop the old cow. He was so angry that he stopped next to the middle-aged scholar and shouted loudly: "Is it because you have a hearing problem? You are studying, but you are still... In the middle of walking, I shouted from behind for a long time, but you turned a deaf ear to me?"

The middle-aged man then raised his head and saw the bullock cart. He shouted, took two steps to the side and continued where he was before, reading while walking.

The two fake scholars, Ah Ha and Chen Chu, have been deceived. Could it be that this is the true state of contemporary scholars? Isn't it crazy?

The oxcart passed by the middle-aged scholar. Ah Ha sniffed it with the tip of his nose and lowered his voice and said to Chen Chu: "Master... Young Master, this scholar has a strange demonic aura about him. He is neither an animal nor a bird."
