Patriarch enjoys meal

Zhou was already lying on a recliner under the ginkgo tree, browsing the articles of the newly followed official accounts.

After reading several popular science articles in a row, Zhou Jiran slapped his head: "A Taoist priest actually has a certificate!"

Tao Jiang came over and took a look: "The application requirements for the faculty certificate are quite strict."

"I only recognize the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect who have been crowned and the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi sect who have been passed on. Then I have no chance." Zhou Zhiran's dream of holding a certificate to work was shattered.

The comment area of ​​the article was also very lively. Zhou already looked through it and found that there was still controversy here.

One side believes that a Taoist certificate can't explain anything, and practitioners still have to rely on their strength to speak.The other party was much simpler and ruder, bluntly saying that they couldn't even get a certificate, and they didn't necessarily have much strength.

Then there was a quarrel when there was a disagreement, and they were all citing scriptures and allusions.

Zhou already had to admit that he couldn't understand most of the large paragraphs of text in the comment area.

Zhou Weiran: Farewell, I am not qualified.

Is the threshold for tearing up even so high?

Zhou Jiran's heart was very heavy. He didn't expect that he would touch the threshold of his career so soon.

Seeing that he was depressed, Tao Jiang said in a puzzled way: "You don't go out, what are you doing looking at this?"

That's right, what are you looking at, I'm not a Taoist priest.

Problem solved.Thresholds come and go quickly.

He read several pages of debates with great interest before exiting the page and entering the next official account.

Don't bother ascension?Hmm, great name.

This official account is as straightforward as his name, and the article on the top of the page is—Kun Mu appeared in Xincheng, coordinates at XX Road XX.Attached below is a large picture of Kunmu in color.

Looks like a wanted warrant.

Morning and evening class is the devil: understand!

Fortune teller: If there are fellow Taoists from XX city chartered a car to go together, you can chat privately.

A pool of heart lotus: The poor monk has already set off.

He Hehe: I just wanted to call for consultation, only to find out that there is no Taoist association in Xincheng, so how to coordinate the hunt?This time Buddhism took the lead?

Compassion: There is no Buddhist association in Xincheng.

......

Zhou was already a little surprised, as soon as he showed his face, he could be hunted down by Taoism and Buddhism, and he read the comments more than once.What heinous crime did this Kunmu commit in order to receive such treatment.

"Tao Jiang, I think they said that it is difficult to do things in Xincheng without the Daoist Association. With so many historical sites in Xincheng, are there any famous Taoist temples or monasteries?" Zhou is not a native of Xincheng. He doesn't know much about the surroundings of the school and other places.

Tao Jiang shook his head: "There are no Taoist temples or temples in the new city."

"not a single one?"

"The closest Jialan Temple is actually a temple in the next city, strictly speaking, not within the scope of the new city."

This is a little strange, Zhou Weiran's hometown is not big, and there are many small temples and temples in a town, and Xincheng, a city that is said to be one-fifth of it is a historic site, does not have one or two temples.

Tao Jiang explained: "There used to be a Qingyun temple, which was destroyed by a fire in the late Qing Dynasty, and all the Taoists in the temple were missing. This is the only record related to religion in Xincheng's recent hundreds of years of history. "

"No wonder Kunmu ran here." Zhou said clearly, "He's avoiding it tactically."

After all, this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Ji, he just read it and let it go.Continue browsing for other news.

......

"Going to climb the mountain?" Zhou Jiran was a little puzzled when he received a call from Xu Xinwen, "Which thoughtless idea came up with such a hot mountain climbing?"

Xu Xinwen: "Everyone wants to get together before graduation, and it's cool on the mountain! We've already booked a homestay, by the way, ask Tao Jiang if he's coming, it's so crowded!"

Zhou already checked the Internet and found that going to Shaoshan to escape the summer heat has been quite popular in Xincheng for the past two years.The journey is not too far, and it can be reached in more than an hour.

Although many students were unable to participate in their internships, there were still more than ten people who went to this event. The class leader simply chartered a bus and took it directly from the school to Mount Shao.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang have to travel a lot because they don't live in the school.After the two of them got on the bus with their luggage on their backs, they officially set off.

After Zhou Ziran sat down, the female classmate in the front seat cautiously poked her head over, with an uncontrollable excitement on her face: "Zhou Ziran, you actually know Tao Jiang?!"

Zhou Ziran: "How normal, everyone is in the same school and at the same level."

The female classmate said: "He is the flower of Gaoling! You can only see his dignity in the classroom during class. Do you know how many girls from foreign departments are holding his timetable and squatting around?"

"What happened?" Zhou asked curiously.

"One after another lost!"

Seeing Tao Jiang packing up her luggage and walking this way, the female student immediately shut up and turned around to sit down.

Zhou Jiran watched Tao Jiang sit down with a serious expression. After a minute, Tao Jiang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. After hesitating for a while, he took out a mint candy from his pocket and handed it to him.

Zhou already looked away with a candy in his mouth, overthrowing what the female classmate said in his heart, if he didn't believe the rumors or spread the rumors, how could he have the flowers of Gaoling?Be considerate to your friends!

After that, there was nothing to say.

The pre-booked homestay is halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, in summer, everyone brings light luggage. The mountains are densely covered with trees, which keep out the harsh sunlight. Walking on the brick-paved mountain road is also quite interesting.

"Oh! Why is your arm swollen, monitor?!"

The squad leader scratched a few times subconsciously when he heard the words, and was shocked when he looked down.I don't know when his arms that were exposed outside the short sleeves were densely covered with big red envelopes. He was born with fair skin, which was shocking to watch.

The goosebumps of the people next to him were aroused: "Fuck, the mosquitoes in the mountains are too poisonous?!"

The others also hurriedly checked whether they had been bitten: "It's strange, does this mosquito only bite the squad leader?"

A female classmate took out a mosquito repellent bracelet from her bag and handed it to him, sympathizing with his experience: "Squad leader, you are too miserable, try this to save your other arm."

"I'll go! Why is it still growing!"

After standing there and saying a few words, the squad leader's neck had already fallen. This speed, which was almost visible to the naked eye, frightened them, and they didn't see any mosquitoes!

It's wicked!

In the chaos, Xu Xinwen and the others subconsciously turned their attention to Zhou Weiran.

Zhou Weiran frowned and looked at the squad leader for a few times, then picked up the newly sprouted wormwood on the side of the mountain road, washed it with mineral water, crushed it, and applied it on the squad leader's arms and neck.

The others were infected by Zhou Weiran's calmness, and felt a little relieved inexplicably. The wormwood is hung every year at the Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone knows it. Someone said: "The mosquitoes here were not so poisonous when I came here before. This time it is too scary." Come on!"

"It's the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which was called the 'poisonous moon' in ancient folk, and it's the time to drive away the plague and poisonous insects." Zhou Ziran said, "It's a coincidence that we entered the mountain."

Everyone was a little puzzled and didn't understand what Zhou Weiran meant.

A girl said weakly: "So what is the reason? Could it be an allergy?"

The others were also puzzled. After entering the mountain, everyone talked and laughed and walked all the way without touching anything.

Tao Jiang opened the mineral water for Zhou Jiran to wash away the wormwood juice in his hand. Zhou Jiran said with a relaxed expression: "It's nothing serious. Now the weather is getting hotter and the rain is increasing. The insects in the mountains are coming out to move around. It should be accidentally bitten." Yes."

Although it was a little strange, but after his emergency treatment, the squad leader's condition improved a lot, and the redness and swelling no longer spread. Everyone reluctantly accepted this explanation.

The group continued to walk up the mountain.This time everyone was more careful, trying to stay away from the branches on the side of the road, for fear of bugs.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang walked at the end of the line and shook the mineral water bottle in their hands. There was a black and green and fat worm lying in the bottle that should have been empty.

Zhou Jiran said with some disgust: "This thing is too disgusting, I just grabbed it with bare hands!"

Thinking of the soft and wriggling feeling, he gritted his teeth: "Whoever I caught released it, I will stuff it in his mouth!"

Tao Jiang saw that his eyes were widened with anger, so he reached out to take the bottle and changed the subject, "The insect crawled into the monitor's ear just now to..."

"Get in." Zhou already trembled, very irritable, "Damn it! It's disgusting!!! I hate bugs!"

"..." Failed to change the subject, Tao Jiang looked at Zhou Ji's anger into a puffer fish, a little at a loss.

When we arrived at the homestay, the boss came out to receive them and the group. Since this event was organized by the squad leader, he naturally approached the boss.

The boss looked at him with a disheveled (true) look and was a little surprised: "What are you?"

The squad leader smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

A boy complained: "Boss, the mosquitoes on your mountain are too scary. Look, they have bitten our monitor into green giants!"

The squad leader is tall and slightly fat, and usually looks like a white flour steamed bun, which is the most talkative, but now he is dyed with wormwood juice, which is really interesting.

Everyone was busy on their way and guarding against mosquitoes just now, but they didn't think of this, and now the squad leader looking at Lulu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

The boss scratched his head, didn't understand the jokes of the group of young people, and tentatively said, "Then I'll send mosquito coils and insect repellent spray to each of your rooms later."

"Thank you boss." "Hahahahahahahaha Hulk!"

The scale of this homestay is not small. There are five or six small three-story buildings in front and back. The rooms are not decorated exquisitely, but the greenery is also very interesting.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang lived in the same room. After putting away his luggage, Tao Jiang went to take a bath, while Zhou Weiran sat by the window and studied the bugs in the mineral water bottle.

The first time he came into contact with this thing, he really didn't know what to do.

He thought for a while, took out his phone, took a picture of the Gu worm and sent it to Fang Xuanzhen.

Before I had time to type, I replied in seconds.

So cold, Daoist: Have you met Kunmu?

Zhou already felt Fang Xuanzhen's attachment to Kunmu.

Congee Congee: No, this is what my classmates and I encountered in Shaoshan. I didn’t know how to deal with it for a while. I would like to ask Brother Tao if there is a good way to deal with it?

So cold, Daoist: Just burn it, the Gu worms of that guy Kunmu, I burned [-] or [-].

Zhou Jiran still wanted to find out the Gu worm's owner. It was said that there was a connection between the Gu owner and the released Gu worm. Such a simple and rude burning might not work. He was silent for a while, thanked Fang Xuanzhen and continued to think.

As soon as Zhou Jiran thought about the problem, he unconsciously wanted to bring out some movements.

So when Tao Jiang came out after washing, he saw him playing with the Gu worms in the bottle like rolling a dice.

Zhou Jiran suddenly remembered a story he read in an ancient book in Tao's house a few days ago, and he had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes!" Zhou said excitedly, "Wait for me to set up a tracking formation!"

Tao Jiang's expression was inexplicable, Zhou Jiran looked down and found that the Gu worm in the bottle had separated from its head and body.

"No, Gu worms are so fragile?"
