The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 170 The fairy in the painting

Cui Hongjian.

The protagonist of the fairy in the painting of Liaozhai.

But from this goat spirit, Zhang Heng found that Cui Hongjian here should be walking in the film and television version.

Because in the novel version of Liaozhaizhiyi, there is no goat spirit, but only a love story between a scholar and a female ghost.

And under the film and television version.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, the Nine-tailed Demon King and Yan Chixia will also appear in the middle and later stages.

"Yan Chixia, Xuanyuan Sword Art!"

Zhang Heng glanced at his Taiping Sword.

He also uses a sword, and the picture of Yan Chixia flying with all swords can be said to be the long-cherished wish of every swordsman.

The Sanshan Talisman Sect mainly focuses on talismans and spells, unlike Wudang and Quanzhen, which are dominated by swordsmanship.

Although there is swordsmanship in the sect, it is not as good as the above two. Yan Chixia's Xuanyuan Sword Jue is suspected to have extraordinary origins, and it would be a blessing to be able to learn it.

"Brother Zhang, I think it might rain soon. Let's go to Shiliting Town first and find an inn for the night."

Cui Hongjian was carrying a bamboo basket and pushing a cart.

On the trolley, there were goat essence that had been transformed into its original form after death, and some changes of clothes.

"Well, let's go to the town first."

Zhang Heng suppressed his thoughts.

Whether you can get acquainted with Yan Chixia and learn Xuanyuan Sword Art, you have to take a step at a time.

After half an hour.

Cui Hongjian's home is about three miles away from Shiliting Town.

With Zhang Heng's help, the three-mile journey is not too difficult.

Soon, as the second light rain fell, the two hurried to the town.

At a glance.

There is a stone monument at the entrance of the town.

Letter: Shili Pavilion.

And under the stele, there are two lines of small characters written: Tianwang is restored, sparse but not missing!
"Skynet is restored!"

Zhang Heng opened his eyes.

At a glance, a large net of humanity is covered over the small town, and in the center of the net is an official seal.

"Humanitarian Law Open!"

Zhang Heng glanced at the French Open, and then at the official seal: "Dynasty seal!"

With this Humane Law Net and the Great Seal of the Dynasty, there is no way for idle monsters to cause chaos in the city.

However, Zhang Heng noticed with sharp eyes that the official seal condensed by the luck of the dynasty was already covered with cracks.

It can be seen from this that the Dasong Dynasty must be precarious, no longer prosperous, and its vitality is no longer enough to suppress the world.

"When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. It's not that evildoers will subdue the country, but that the fortunes of the country will decline, and it will be difficult to suppress Liuhe, so demons and monsters will start to rise."

Zhang Heng withdrew his gaze and said to Cui Hongjian, "You know this place well, so let's find an inn to settle down first."

Cui Hongjian nodded: "I know an inn. The boss is a kind person. He and I are old acquaintances. He takes care of him on weekdays."

In the world of Liaozhai, the world is chaotic.

The meat used in some inns is mostly two-legged rice meat.

If you don't understand the rules and stay here carelessly, maybe you will be served tomorrow and become a pot of meat soup.

Although Zhang Heng is not afraid.

But he hates trouble, so let this kind of matter be left to Cui Hongjian, a local.

"Yo, Shusheng Cui!"

Come to the inn.

The boss obviously recognized Cui Hongjian, and greeted him with a smile: "I said just now that it rained all day today, and I don't know if you have eaten, and I thought I would leave some leftovers for you later, so as not to waste your time. This university is starving."

Although the boss was full of jokes, it could be seen that he took good care of Cui Hongjian.

The leftovers in the inn may not sound good, but they are really oily, and most people can't get them.

"Business manager Fang is booming."

Cui Hongjian cupped his hands again and again, and then he did not forget to introduce: "This is my classmate and friend, he came to see me at Shili Lake, unfortunately today the wind and rain were a bit heavy, blowing over my thatched hut, I'm afraid I will trouble Shopkeeper Fang tonight. "

"a piece of cake."

Shopkeeper Fang greeted the buddy: "Take the grocery room."

Cui Hongjian occasionally had classmates visiting, but they were all poor scholars who couldn't afford to live in a room.

In such a situation, shopkeeper Fang would clean up the grocery room, add a bed, and ask Cui Hongjian to put the person in for one or two copper coins.

"Wait a minute."

As soon as he heard that the grocery room was going to be tidied up, Cui Hongjian hurriedly said: "I brought a goat. This goat is strong and can weigh more than 1000 catties. I want to sell it to the boss, convert some money, and open a room."

After finishing speaking, Cui Hongjian looked at Zhang Heng again: "My close friend from classmate has great abilities, and I can't be inferior to the grocery store."

"That's it!"

Shopkeeper Fang looked even happier, and called the clerk to tell him: "Go out with Cui Shusheng to have a look, and keep the sheep if it suits you, and convert some money to the scholar."

a little.

The buddy came back and reported that this sheep is very good, and it is extremely strong, unlike ordinary products.

Shopkeeper Fang didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately got on the scale, and bought the goat weighing 11 catties at a price of 18 Wen per catty, at a cost of [-] taels.

"The mutton in the butcher's shop is about 13 Wen a catty."

"When we sell it, it must be cheaper than the butcher shop. 11 Wen is already a very reasonable price."

Holding the silver, Cui Hongjian whispered to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng nodded, but instead of accepting the money, he ordered: "I want to stay in Shiliting Town for a while. The inn is small and the people are messy. I don't like it very much. You take the money and go find it tomorrow." a garden."

Cui Hongjian didn't shirk, but asked, "What kind of courtyard do you want?"

Zhang Heng replied: "One main room, two side rooms, and a yard. They must be clean and tidy, with their own furniture, and they can move in at any time."

Cui Hongjian was slightly hesitant: "Whether it is renting or buying such a yard, I am afraid it is not cheap."

"It doesn't matter about the money, it doesn't matter whether you rent it or buy it, you just look at the arrangements."

Zhang Heng walked upstairs while talking.

When I walked to the second floor, I heard the shopkeeper downstairs whispering to Shopkeeper Fang: "Shopkeeper, this is a poor scholar, and you are too kind to him. If you want me to say, that sheep can be bought for ten taels of silver." If you don’t sell us, he won’t be able to sell it elsewhere.”

"You don't understand, you see him as a poor scholar, but I see him as a rare commodity to live in, and he will definitely win the exam in the future."

"If I don't win, I have nothing to lose. If I win, I have today's incense. In a word, my lord, in the past, those yamen servants and petty officials who beat the autumn wind in the past, no one should look at me highly."

heard.

Zhang Heng smiled.

Day two.

Cui Hongjian got up early in the morning and went to help Zhang Heng find a house.

Zhang Heng himself made inquiries and went to Wumenju, Yan Chixia's hermitage.

But when I got here, I found that the courtyard was full of fallen leaves, and no one had cleaned it for a while.

Go to the main building again.

There is a thank-you sign on the door, which reads: You have not returned from your travels.

"Yunyou is gone!"

Zhang Heng felt rather regretful.

Fortunately, he is not impatient, so he will stay in Shiliting Town first, and sooner or later he will be able to wait for Yan Chixia to come back.

"Scholar, have you found the yard?"

When Zhang Heng came back, he happened to meet Cui Hongjian.

"found it."

"There was an old man in the town. His son was doing business in the north. He didn't want to offend the son of the county magistrate and was thrown into prison. The old man was eager to get money to save his son, so he decided to sell the house at a low price. It only cost 15 taels. I have already seen the yard. Yes, it's not bad, if you don't rush to make a move, 30 taels should be available."

Cui Hongjian asked: "What do you think?"

Zhang Heng was silent for a while.

He took out two ten taels of silver ingots from his pocket, and said, "This is 20 taels, and if you count the 18 taels in your hand, the total is 38 taels. Give the old man 30 taels, and the rest of the money will be settled at the inn." With the money from the store, we can buy some furniture and bedding, and if possible, we will move there at night."

Cui Hongjian said in a daze, "That yard only costs 15 taels."

Zhang Heng shook his head: "I don't take advantage of this."

Cui Hongjian looked Zhang Heng up and down for a moment, clasped his hands in a salute, and walked away quickly.

"Benefactor, great benefactor!"

Not long after, an old man carrying a burden came to the inn to look for Zhang Heng.

As soon as Zhang Heng heard the voice, he knew who was coming.

But he didn't show up, he just sent someone a talisman to keep him safe on the road.

Take the talisman.

The old man rode a donkey, thanked him and left.

Watching the old man's back, Cui Hongjian sighed: "Brother Zhang is really a good man."

Zhang Heng didn't answer this, but said: "Scholar, you have nowhere to go, so you can stay in the wing room first, and help me clean the courtyard every day, I won't charge you for the rent."

Cui Hongjian thanked again and again.

After thanking him, Cui Hongjian showed embarrassment again, and said, "Brother Zhang, today I went out to inquire about the house, and I heard a passer-by say by chance that there is a demon king named Nine-Tailed Fox nearby, who occupies the mountain as the king, gathers A lot of demon soldiers, yesterday's goat spirit"

Zhang Heng didn't take it seriously: "The goat spirit is not necessarily a subordinate of the Nine-Tailed Demon King, even if it went down the mountain to eat people and hit my hand, it is its fate."

"It's fine if it doesn't come. If it does, I won't give it face."

Zhang Heng doesn't like to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble.

If the Nine-Tailed Demon King wants to talk to him, then come, just to see how much this monster weighs.

Not to mention too much, Zhang Heng is very satisfied with the elixir brewed with goat essence inner elixir.

When the gourd wine is finished, if the Nine-Tailed Demon King doesn't come to him, he will also talk to this fox.
