Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 96 This is the human world, where is there no place that is not fascinating?
The inn was bustling with activity, and Chen Xu modestly accepted the gifts of thanks from each family.

In the end, he completely rejected the gift sent by Wang Xian.

In public, with people from major families watching, Wang Xian was unable to force the gift out.

But his trip was not in vain, at least his attitude was shown.

Wang Xian sighed deeply, bowed to everyone present and said, "This evil creature is so stubborn that he has been imprisoned by Feng Mingfu. He deserves it.

However, there must be another evil person behind the Ghost Market incident. My Wang family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation!
I also hope that you will not be impulsive and angry, and fall into the trap of the evildoers."

Among the major families, some bowed to him with a smile, some remained silent, and some snorted coldly without any concealment.

Finally, all the glitz faded away.

Before leaving, each family left a note for Chen Xu, inviting him to stay at their home temporarily, or inviting him to attend more poetry and literary gatherings, etc.

Chen Xu refused all of them on the grounds that he had to study hard behind closed doors in order to take the exam.

When it was finally quiet, only Wu Zhengze and Chen Xu were left in the room.

Wu Zhengze praised Chen Xu, "I'm relieved that you can resist the temptation of today's vanity."

Young and full of vigor, facing such a lively scene of being sought after by everyone, how many people can endure the loneliness and remain unmoved?
But if you really let your mind wander because of this, give up on reviewing before the exam, go to this literary gathering today and that poetry gathering tomorrow, it is hard to say what results you will get in the exam.

Chen Xu is now very clear-headed and of course will not allow himself to make such a mistake.

In this world, all the excitement is false. Only one's own strength is real and the foundation of everything.

After Wu Zhengze left, Chen Xu waved his sleeves to sweep away all the gifts sent by the major families and put them into his own Jiuyou Cangxu magical space.

The sky was bright at this time, and the streets were still noisy with people coming and going.

Chen Xu's thinking was very calm.

He stroked the manuscript of "The Knight-errant" on the desk for a while, and put it into the Jiuyou Cangxu Space.

Cui Yunqi took away the manuscript of "Two Stories on Creating Livestock", but he was too embarrassed to take the original manuscript of "The Knight's Song" which was written on paper with clouds and smoke on it.

He copied a copy himself and reluctantly returned the manuscript to Chen Xu, saying, "This is extremely valuable. If Brother Chen can become a great scholar in the future, this manuscript may be able to generate poetic spirits and visions.

I won't take it away to borrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to return it to you."

He said that he couldn't bear to do it, but the expression on his face looked as if he was about to cut off his own flesh. He was so reluctant that he almost cried on the spot.

Chen Xu also discovered that Cui Yunqi was actually quite funny and humorous.

Later, Chen Xu asked Wu Zhengze, "Master, what is the spiritual image of poetry?"

Wu Zhengze told him: "If a good poem is widely sung and you have enough literary talent, it is possible to cultivate the spirit of poetry.

It is not necessary to be a great scholar. As long as one has enough literary talent, it is possible to become a Jinshi.

If you have the original manuscript in hand and read it often, the cultivation of poetic spirit will be much simpler and more direct.

If this article of yours can generate a poetic spirit, then it means that a knight is by your side.

Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles."

Wu Zhengze sighed leisurely, already fascinated.

What a great saying: "Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles"!
Chen Xu was lost in thought in the inn. In the Yunjiang Prefecture government office, the prefect Ding Qian slammed the letter in his hand shut with a snap, feeling a little regretful.

When he claimed to be sick in the morning, that wisp of green smoke was forming in the east direction of the city.

If he had not claimed to be ill, it might be possible for Magistrate Ding to join in the fun of Qingyan's poem.

"What a pity... No, never mind!" Ding Qian shook his head and threw the letter in his hand onto the table next to him.

The provincial and imperial examinations were approaching, and especially since he, the prefect, would be the chief examiner.

How can we not avoid suspicion at this time?
It’s so annoying!
Ding Qian was irritated for a while, but he couldn't help but call his long-servant over: "Go, quietly go to the kitchen and order a plate of Sushan for your master. I want it sweet. Do you hear me?"

The attendant was anxious: "But you just claimed to be sick, and the lady also said that you are not allowed to eat anything sweet and icy these days..."

Ding Qian's face suddenly turned fierce: "Are you my attendant, or my wife's attendant? Go away!"

The long-time attendant was eventually urged to leave.

After breakfast, Chen Xu returned to his room in the inn to practice calligraphy and read, continuing to wait for the appearance of County Magistrate Feng and his son.

He calculated that half a day on earth seemed to be three to five days in the netherworld.

The time difference between the underworld and the human world is about ten to one.

Now, a whole night and a morning were about to pass. Magistrate Feng and his son had probably been tilling the land in the netherworld for seven or eight days. Who knew what the final result would be?
Around noon, Chen Xu heard some noise and turned around to see two people suddenly walking out from the ground on one side of the room.

One person stumbled and fell.

He looked up and saw the bright blue sky and the glorious human world. He burst into tears: "The human world, it's really the human world! I, I'm back..."

He sobbed loudly and looked thin and haggard. Who else could it be but Feng Xi, who had suffered so much?

Following behind was naturally Feng Yuanbai.

This Jinshi looked a little haggard, but his eyes were bright, and his overall condition was much better than when he came to ask Chen Xu to save Feng Xi last night.

As soon as he saw Chen Xu, Feng Yuanbai was immediately delighted.

He quickly grabbed the crying Feng Xi and brought him to thank Chen Xu.

Feng Xi quickly wiped away her tears and was extremely obedient.

He clasped his hands together above his head and bowed deeply to Chen Xu, performing a profound salute.

"Thank you, Brother Chen..."

Feng Yuanbai knocked on him and said, "Call me uncle!"

Feng Xi felt wronged, but still very honest: "Thank you, Uncle Chen..."

Chen Xu: ...

It's really ridiculous.

He quickly declined the gift, as he didn't deserve to be called uncle.

Feng Yuanbai said, "Mr. Chen, let him call you uncle, and he will be the one taking advantage."

This is about the brotherly relationship between Chen Xu and Ji Weizi.

What else could Chen Xu do? He could only say, "Mingfu, let's discuss this separately."

Feng Yuanbai's eyes lit up. "How about I dare to call you Brother Chen? Or maybe Xuzhi?"

In the end, Chen Xu still had a nephew, Feng Xi.

Who made him and Feng Yuanbai become brothers?

You are a generation older than me for nothing.

Feng Yuanbai took away the eight bronze lamps that had burned out their last bit of oil and told Chen Xu, "The lamps that have been passed down for nine generations have now been extinguished. If your nephew ever gets into trouble again and goes to the underworld, I won't be able to go down and save him.

After extinguishing these nine lamps, if our Feng family wants to continue the inheritance of literary fortune, we need to accumulate again.

I don’t know if this kid can stand up, but I have given it my all and this is the best I can do.

His future depends entirely on his own luck."

These words were spoken from the bottom of my heart, but they were not meant for Chen Xu to hear.

It was obvious that he was still trying to criticize Feng Xi.

Feng Xi wiped away her tears. Although she remained silent, her expression gradually became firm.

After chatting for a while, Feng and his son quickly said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Feng Yuanbai said to Chen Xu, "Xuzhi, although Feng Xi has been rescued, I, Wang Ji, will not let him go easily.

How this matter will be resolved in the end depends on the game between the Wang family and other families, and what price the Wang family is willing to pay.

Don't worry about these disputes, just stay at home and study.

When everyone is asleep at night, I will come to you to help me with the book.

In five days, the Lord will enter the Imperial Examination Hall behind closed doors. The deputy examiners are already in place, and the academician will be here soon.

I have to avoid some people when I come to see you."

The last sentence is very interesting.

If it were written into a storybook, it would be: The examination will be held in full swing, and the magistrate will teach you how to study late at night.

Well, I do need to avoid some people.

Chen Xu laughed, and Feng Yuanbai also laughed.
