3. A talented man and a beautiful woman meet their opponents in chess (8)
As a monk from a demon sect, Wang Chong has a heart as hard as iron and is very decisive.
He didn't take the tricks of the little fox Hu Su'er to heart at all. He dared to go in and out of the Emei Sect alone. How could he be afraid of the little fox?
The master and servant were on the road again. Hu Suer was chattering, but also very lively. She told Wang Chong everything about her origins.
The fox clan she came from was also a big family that had existed for hundreds of years. There were nearly three hundred people in the family, but only a dozen or twenty of them were able to transform into human beings. There was an old woman named Hu Sanniang, who had the most profound moral principles. The whole family relied on Hu Sanniang's strategizing to be safe and prosperous for hundreds of years.
It's just that the Hu family are wild immortals. They have no true heritage and no one worships them. They are also worried about being discovered. The government sends troops to attack and Taoist priests come to kill them. They often hide in Tibet and are quite homeless.
Wang Chong has never had any experience with animals practicing Taoism. These little foxes are not worthy of being called monsters. They have to acquire spells before they can be called monsters. Animals like them that have just gained human bodies can only be called spirits.
They are just spiritual beings. They can use the energy of the human world to transform into human beings. After transforming into human beings, they are almost the same as ordinary people. They don’t have any powerful methods. Not to mention Taoists and martial arts heroes, they may not even be able to resist. Outperforming ordinary able-bodied people.
Wang Chong listened with great interest, and occasionally interjected a few words, which made the little fox petty and angry, but the master and servant were also enjoying themselves.
When the master and servant entered Yangzhou City, Wang Chong was also a little confused. He didn't know where the garden donated by Cao Xuqing was, and was about to find someone to find out.
The little fox Hu Suer volunteered to lead the way, and they turned around seven or eight streets. Sure enough, they saw a large and spacious mansion not far away.
On the door of the mansion, there are three elegant and graceful characters "Xu Qingyuan"!
Wang Chong came to inquire. The servants in the house, who heard that he was "Tang Jingyu", all came out in a swarm, very reserved. They all know that Xu Qingyuan will change its master today, and this "Tang Gongzi" will be their future master. How can they not be cautious?
If you accidentally offend the new owner, you will suffer a lot.
Not to mention the uneasiness of these servants, Wang Chong stepped into the house. Even though he had stayed in his Emei Five Spirits Immortal Mansion, he couldn't help but admire it. It really looked like a wealthy family.
In order to create some scenery in the garden, the Cao family spent a lot of effort to divert a tributary of a nearby river and make nine twists and turns in the garden. They also created rockeries, ponds, raised red koi carps, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and Needless to say, the scenery in this garden alone is worth a thousand dollars.
In this place, just having money is not enough. It has to be carefully trained by a wealthy family to achieve such elegance.
This is the house where Cao Xuqing's parents gave their only daughter to her as a dowry in the future. It is also the favorite place of the third lady of the Cao family. She comes to stay for a few months every year. All the maids and servants are carefully selected. A brief knowledge of poetry and books.
If Wang Chong hadn't been so ambitious and used magical weapons like the Pan Chi Sword, how could Cao Xuqing have given up on this garden?
Wang Chong was not too worried. After all, he had seen the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion in Emei. No matter how extravagant or extravagant the ordinary mansion was, it could not compare with the grandeur of the Immortal Mansion. However, the little fox Hu Suer's eyes were shining brightly and she looked around frequently without knowing it. Which place should I look at? I just feel that there are beautiful views everywhere.
Although the Hu family is also a large family, they would never dare to live in a crowded place. Even if there are several houses, they are in deep mountains and old forests, or in remote places. In addition, the Hu family is a nest of goblins after all. With village spirit, even if he is carefully cared for, how can he have such foresight?
Hu Suer secretly thought: "If I could live here safely and read some poems every day, it would be a life like a fairy. If I could live in such a beautiful house for a few months, and follow this Master, you won’t lose anything.”
Wang Chong ordered his servants to prepare a banquet and welcome the guests, and he randomly chose a pavilion to take a rest.
He came out early today. Wang Chong was not willing to waste time and wanted to practice a little bit.
However, Hu Su'er was in high spirits and wanted to "inspect" the house. Wang Chong ignored her and allowed the little fox to do whatever he wanted.
Not long after, Situ Youdao came to the banquet in advance.
This time he came forward to invite the rest of Yangzhou's Eight Shows, and he was considered a half host, so he didn't dare to be late.
Wang Chong was in the pavilion, performing the Seven-Two Form Refining Technique. The true energy was flowing in the seven meridians that had been penetrated, warming and nourishing the Seven-Two Form Refining True Qi. Hearing Situ Youdao's visit, he hurriedly greeted him personally.
The talented man also brought Zi Suliu over. When he saw Wang Chong, he handed the horse back and said with a smile: "My brother's family is poor. If he feeds it for a few more days, I'm afraid he will feed this good horse." Lost weight."
Wang Chong laughed and ordered his servants to take good care of him, and then he invited Situ Youdao inside.
Situ Youdao walked side by side with Wang Chong. He was here for the first time. He was quite surprised by the scenery of the garden and said with a smile: "I heard that you are still living in Hongye Temple. If it hadn't been for today's poetry meeting, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come here."
Wang Chong laughed and said: "The elders in the family told me to wait for him at Hongye Temple. I dare not leave for a moment."
Situ Youdao stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You are also too busy reading. Tell the monks at Hongye Temple. If your elders know about it, they will naturally come to find you."
Why didn't Wang Chong think of this? He was worried that if he came here happily, his master Ling Su would regard him as greedy for glory, and he would be despised in his heart.
Wang Chong couldn't explain to Situ Youdao, so he just smiled and didn't answer.
Before Situ Youdao's arrangements were completed, servants came to report, and several people came to visit, but they were not the young sons of the Yang and Cao families, but Qiao Shoumin, Tang Yun, Tang Rangzhi, and others from the Eight Shows of Yangzhou. Four people, including Master Zengxue, came together.
Including Situ Youdao, Yangzhou Eight Shows, Luo Jinnong, Li Chan, Wang Mengbai and others, they are all talented people whose talents are known to the world. They are all excellent in poetry, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. However, they have not yet become officials and have to wait for many years of hard study. , Once in high school.
Wang Chong hurriedly called Situ Youdao, and together they turned to welcome him out. From a distance, he saw Qiao Shoumin shouting loudly: "Is that the nine-year-old Tang Jingyu's younger brother who won the scholarship?"
Wang Chong smiled slightly and shouted: "Don't dare! Brother Qiao's reputation has been mentioned by many people in my studies. If you can generously give him a landscape, I can show off to my fellow villagers."
Qiao Shoumin was the oldest among the eight people. He always regarded himself as the big brother, and was famous for his freehand landscapes. A painting was often worth a thousand dollars. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "I am in a good mood today, so I will paint one." I send you mountains and rivers, but if you are in a bad mood, even ink will not come."
Wang Chong also smiled and said: "I won't dare to let Brother Qiao come back disappointed."
