Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 116 Visiting the City God
Looking at these scholars with froze smiles, Li Xiuyuan sighed in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want to either. His literary talents were indeed limited, and his ability to recite poems was weak, and he couldn't compare to those truly talented scholars.

But these people are so pressing, one sees himself as plain-looking, one tells himself 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and the other seems to have something to do with Qingmei.

The three of them seemed impatient to trample themselves under their feet and insult them once.

There is no way but to come up with a trick.

In other words, I traveled here by my own ability, so why not plagiarize?

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan felt confident again.

Looking at the stiff faces of the people, without saying a word, he couldn't help asking: "Is this Shanglian too difficult? Do you want to change to a simpler one? I still have a simple one here. How about the Heavenly King Gaidihu?"

"." The corners of everyone's mouths twitched and they remained silent.

"How can I change another one? Do you know how many ways there are to write Hui?"

"." Everyone remained silent.

"Hey, since you all don't speak, I will take my leave."

In the end it was really boring, Li Xiuyuan also knew that these people were afraid of offending them, so he didn't sit here to attend any party, so as not to make himself uncomfortable, he took Xiaodie and Du Chunhua away for an excuse.

As soon as he walked away, a voice came: "I hate this kind of duplicity person the most in my life. He is plain in appearance, but has strange talents. Where did he find a pair of absolutes to amuse us and return the king of heaven?" Gedigo, vulgar."

"By the way, there are several ways to write Huizi. He is scolding me for not even knowing the characters. There is obviously only one way to write Huizi."

"No, there are two kinds."

"How do I remember that there are three types."

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan, who had not yet walked out of Jibaozhai, shook his head slightly, thinking that it would be better for him to stay away from the scholars in the future, so as not to be contaminated by the strange temper of these scholars.

"Thank you for taking care of the store. Xiaosheng will come here to copy books tomorrow." At this time, Ning Caichen was sent out by the store, and it seemed that he had already negotiated, and he was determined to copy books here.

"Guo Rong? No, Ning Caichen, are you done?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen gave a salute and said, "Yes, Xiaosheng is being taken care of by the shopkeeper. I copied books here, and I saw Mr. Li again. I have something to do later, so I won't stay here for a long time, and I will leave."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and didn't say much.

Right now is not the time to cross paths with Ning Caichen.

After buying some paper and books, he also left with Xiaodie and Du Chunhua.

When he was about to go back to his residence, he saw three or five scholars returning late together on the road. These scholars were disheveled, their bodies were loose, their steps were frivolous, and their faces were full of joy and satisfaction.

"It's Zhu Yu and the others." Li Xiuyuan paused.

Judging from this, Zhu Yu and his party have only just returned from outside the city.

Moreover, his gait was flimsy and his clothes were disheveled. It is estimated that he met some gorgeous ghost in the ghost market yesterday and was entangled all night to replenish his yang energy.

"Which ghost is right. Although these scholars are not in danger of their lives, it is inevitable to lose some yang energy." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

But these scholars all looked happy because they were willing to be sucked by the ghost, and they were very happy.

"Yesterday was really a blessing. That Miss Qian, admired my poems and essays, and had a spring breeze with me. It is really unforgettable for a lifetime. Before leaving, she gave me an embroidered shoe as a souvenir. This Miss Qian's I can’t live up to such a good intention.”

"Yes, my Miss Zhao is not."

"Since that's the case, why don't we go to the market tonight? It also saves the girls from staying alone in the vacant room."

"Well said."

Zhu Yu and the other scholars walked and said, with a look of aftertaste on their expressions, as if they were all obsessed with the figure of the beautiful woman last night.

I was fascinated by the thought, even passing by Li Xiuyuan, I didn't know it.

"I'm just fascinated by the female ghost." Li Xiuyuan frowned when he heard their conversation.

He wanted to stop them and tell them not to go to that ghost market, but he couldn't help but stop talking when he saw how proud these people were.

"Let's see if they will wake up on their own, lest I be a bad person again. It would be best if they can wake up. With this lesson, they can abide by it in the future, and if I try to dissuade them at this time, most of them will also be dissuaded." It's boring." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Although there are dangers from flamboyant ghosts, they are not serious, they just squeeze your yang energy.

For those who are addicted to it, this is a kind of enjoyment. Only in the end when you have insufficient yang energy and are sick on the bed, can you taste the bad results, and this will take a while.

So Li Xiuyuan didn't rush to remind him.

But he felt that since these people were all scholars, they should understand how there could be a market in the mountains and fields, and how could there be young and beautiful women throwing themselves into their arms.

If they can't even wake up to this, they should also suffer this catastrophe.

After returning to the house.

Li Xiuyuan reviewed the books he was not familiar with before, and after practicing calligraphy for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he just stopped the ink pen in his hand.

"Chunhua, Xiaodie, the two of you rest today, don't wait for me, I'm going out later, I guess I won't be back until very late."

"Where are you going, young master? You haven't had dinner yet." Du Chunhua greeted him and said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have a private matter to go to Chenghuang Temple, let's have dinner when I come back."

"Xiaodie, go buy some incense for me."

Xiaodie responded and went out quickly.

After some preparations, Li Xiuyuan went out at night and walked towards the Town God's Temple.

According to the normal time, the Town God's Temple has closed its doors at this moment.

When Li Xiuyuan arrived, he saw that the Miao Zhu of the Town God's Temple was already waiting here, and he was an elderly man.

"Excuse me, is this Li Xiuyuan, Mr. Li?" Lao Miaozhu asked.

"Exactly." Li Xiuyuan nodded: "The old man knows me?"

The old Miao Zhu said with a smile: "Master Chenghuang just asked someone to ask me to tell me that a distinguished guest named Li Xiuyuan will come today, and asked me not to close the temple door. Now I see the young master walking to the Temple of the City God alone, it must be Lord Chenghuang. It's Li Xiuyuan, Mr. Li."

"I see." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

It is true that there is a god in the sky.

He knew it even before he came to City God.

It seems that Chenghuang is very concerned about his every move, after all, Chenghuang cannot calculate his whereabouts.

"Mr. Li, this way please, Lord Chenghuang has been waiting in the temple for a long time." Lao Miaozhu said.

"I'm sorry." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

As soon as he entered the Town God's Temple, he could smell a strong smell of incense, which was extremely pure, without any smell of paper dust.

It is true that only serious gods can possess such a strong incense.

Facing the smell of incense, Li Xiuyuan walked all the way, and after a while, he saw a middle-aged man in a vermilion official uniform standing with his hands behind his back in front of the main hall of the Town God's Temple, looking at him with a smile.

It's Chenghuang~!

Li Xiuyuan's heart trembled, but he saw that the City God's body was solid, like a living person, without the slightest sense of illusion. If it wasn't for the fact that this person was similar to the statue in the City God Temple, he really thought it was an official standing here .

However, Chenghuang is still different from ordinary people. The nearby candlelight shines on Chenghuang's body, but no one can be seen.
