Enrolled Celestial Master

The place where the imperial list was posted was already surrounded by people.There were too many people, Chi Yingyang picked up the short and blind little apprentice Chi Shenxing with his left hand, and tightly held the taller Chi Jinyan with his right hand, saying "Please let me go" and raised his legs to move forward Walk.

In the circle, an old man asked: "Let me tell you, are you literate? Can you read it to me?"

Chi Yingyang said to herself, "I can read."

Since he was a child, Chi Yingyang was picked up by his master in a Taoist temple, and he was taught to read and write, starting from reading the Tao Te Ching and the Book of Changes, and then reading "Chan Tong Qi", "Baopu Zi", "Huang Ting Jing" and other cultivation methods. Then he was released by the master.

There are a lot of books in the Taoist temple, and Chi Yingyang likes to study too much, so he learned "Funeral Sutra", "Di Tiansui", "Yuanhai", "Tianming Tonghui", "Fire Pearl Forest" and so on without a teacher. Kanyu's life divination scriptures, and medical books such as "Lingshu", "Suwen", "Golden Chamber", "Qing Nangshu", "Nanjing", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" etc. In my mind, practice with people who go up the mountain to ask questions.

Not only these books, but he can read and write the "River Map" and "Luo Shu" carved on the turtle shell, the inscriptions of prayers carved on the bronze bell and tripod, and the runes for drawing symbols.Calculated in this way, he knows a lot of words, how could he be illiterate?

When the onlookers saw that he said he was literate, they gave way and asked Chi Yingyang to go to the imperial list and read to them what was written on the imperial list.

Circles of people watched him expectantly.

Chi Yingyang walked forward confidently, looked up at the imperial list, opened his lips, but said: "..."? ? ?

Chi Yingyang was shocked.

After practicing for 300 years and then coming out of the mountain, not only the name of the country has changed, the bank has collapsed, the bank notes have been invalidated, and even the words have changed!

The characters of 300 years ago are evenly rounded, fat and round, and many characters still look like real objects; while the characters of earlier characters have qi (same as "qi") on the body, and the effects of the strokes change constantly. In other words, Taoist monks don't need to know characters, they can understand the usefulness of characters by observing the qi in characters.

But the current characters are horizontal and vertical, like squares, not like the real thing and have no energy, which is simply incomprehensible.

Chi Yingyang tried his best to identify some characters that looked the same as before, such as "fate" and "phase", and some characters that he couldn't even guess. Generally speaking, the words written on the imperial list After reading something, Chi Yingyang could only recognize a few words.

The uncle who just asked him urged: "Little brother, you can read, read it."

Chi Yingyang lowered his head in shame, and said honestly: "I only know a few words in it, but I can't understand the whole article."

The onlookers who were looking forward to it just now: "..."

The uncle gave him a long sigh, and said: "No wonder the children you bring are dressed in such rags. You must rely on yourself to be good-looking. When you were young, you didn't study hard, and you could only learn a few words. This is ignorance. !"

Chi Yingyang was very ashamed: "Yes, it's all my fault, I will learn it soon."

The first disciple Chi Jinyan shook Chi Yingyang's hand and said, "Don't blame Master, Master is very good."

The young disciple Chi Shenxing, who was being held in his arms, kissed him and comforted him, "There was still meat to eat last night, Master is very good! Master is also very good without meat."

Chi Yingyang was moved and hugged the two little disciples tightly.

At this moment, someone shouted: "Han Caizi is here!" The crowd of onlookers heard it and immediately branched out. A young man wearing a jade pendant shook his fan and nodded to the neighbors with a smile. , to the circle.

Chi Yingyang didn't take up his position either, and pulled Chi Shenxing back half a step to make room.

Talented Han looked him up and down, chuckled, and said in a clear voice, "Young man doesn't work hard, but the old man is sad! You can't say you can read if you only know a few words, you know?"

The neighbors nodded their heads.

Chi Yingyang looked at the imperial list and directed, "Read it."

Talented Han glanced at him, chuckled again, raised his eyes to look at the imperial list, and opened his mouth to read: "Feng, Tian Chengyun, the emperor made the day, the third prince of Ningguo and the general of Zhenguo, Ling Haoyuan, recruited his husband to marry him. Expedition to the northern kingdom, harvesting the desert...a special notice to the subjects of the world, hope that there are unmarried men with good appearance, good manners and martial arts, and report to the yamen of each county. The end of Chen month, the capital's Ministry of rites will select at noon..."

Chi Yingyang listened quietly, compared with the words on the imperial list, and wrote down everything Han Caizi said.

The surrounding neighbors discussed: "General Ling is recruiting a husband? Use the imperial list to recruit relatives, just like a sage chooses a concubine from all over the country, and chooses a husband from the whole country for General Ling. The sage really attaches great importance to General Ling."

"Excellent appearance, literary and martial arts, I think Han Caizi is very good!"

"That's right, Caizi Han, you are our great talent in Nanyun. You are excellent in calligraphy and painting, capable in both literature and martial arts. General Ling will definitely have his eyes on you."

Han Caizi waved his hand and said: "The neighbors are absurd. I think martial arts are just average. Moreover, the general's recruitment of a husband is to recruit a son-in-law. I have to discuss it with my father."

Chi Yingyang asked curiously: "I'm a married woman with food, lodging, clothing and money, what's wrong with that?"

Han Caizi glanced at him coldly, and didn't answer this kind of question that everyone in Ningguo understands.

An enthusiastic uncle replied: "The imperial court stipulates that a man who becomes a matriarch is not allowed to take an imperial examination, become an official, join the army, or accept a concubine, nor can he prevent his wife or husband from looking for another face. Of course, it is not good to be a matriarch."

After hearing this, Chi Yingyang nodded and said, "That's perfect for me. I'm a Taoist priest. It's fine if I don't pass the imperial examinations, I don't serve in the army, and I don't take concubines."

Uncle Enthusiastic hadn't finished speaking, he continued: "Generally, you are the good-looking and unpromising people who marry. But don't think about it, this time it's General Ling recruiting a husband, General Ling! The third prince of Ningguo, the general of Zhenguo, capable of writing and martial arts, not to mention that the general can like you, you don't know a word, and you are good-looking, can you pass the selection of the county government? Only like Han Caizi, with appearance Only those who are talented and famous have the opportunity.”

Chi Yingyang said confidently, "I can."

If you can't, just cheat!

That is a house made of gold and jade, gold and jade!

Without gold and jade, a stone house is fine.

Log cabins are fine too.

The rainy season will soon come, and the thatched cottage cannot stop the rain. What should I do if my son gets sick?

Amidst the watching eyes of the surroundings, Chi Yingyang took off the imperial list and did not go to the yamen to sign up.

He took the two disciples to a tailor shop, made some clothes for the two disciples, and made a suit for himself; he went to the street market, and bought vegetables, meat and rice.

Such a few sets of clothes, rice, vegetables and meat cost a full five taels!

Money is really worthless.

But, do you really want to bend your waist for money and marry into the home of someone you don't know?Is this marriage good or bad?

It should be divination and ask the way of heaven.

Thinking of this, Chi Yingyang carried the rice back to the hut, put down the vegetables and meat, and took the disciples to the river to wash their hands.

Chi Yingyang said: "Come on, you have been getting started for a few days, and as a teacher, I want to get married for myself today, so I will demonstrate it to you by the way, and teach you the simplest and easiest way to get started. After learning well, in addition to divination of marriage, there are also promotion, fortune, extension of teachers, divination of illness, tracing of people and things, etc., divination of recent events, very accurate."

Cautious words and prudent actions both said excitedly: "Good!!"

Although Master always thinks that he is poor, as soon as Master goes out, he earns delicious apricot cakes, rice, meat, vegetables and clothes!

There are so many aspects of divination, it is very useful to know it as soon as you hear it!
