human guard

Chapter 66
Ride lightly.

Shen Changqing sat firmly on the back of the horse, no matter how bumpy he was, he couldn't make his figure shake much.

Originally, when he came to Ancheng from Zhen Mosi, he also came on horseback, but because of the non-stop rush in the middle, he died of exhaustion before reaching Lin'an City.

This time.

Shen Changqing bought another horse.

With money on his body, he naturally wouldn't be stingy for a mere few taels of silver.

Just in a place like Lin'an City, it's hard to find any good horses.

and so.

Shen Changqing finally chose a horse as his foot strength.

Fast horses gallop.

Having learned the lesson from the last time, this time he didn't dare to rush on the road like that every day. Every time he went to a place, he would take a day off before going to the Town Demon Division.

Boom! !

Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded from the blue sky, causing the horses to be frightened and stood up straight. Shen Changqing grabbed the reins with one hand and clamped his legs tightly, so that he was not thrown off the horse's back.

at this time.

The sky that was bright before suddenly became dark.

"It is going to rain?"

Shen Changqing looked up at the sky, her brows tightening.

Right now, I can't go to the village or the store. If it rains, it's not easy to find a place to hide.

Although it doesn't affect him much whether it rains or not, it is not what he wants to be exposed to.

"drive!"

The two legs snapped together, and the horse under the crotch suddenly ran away.

Before the rain had completely fallen, Shen Changqing needed to find a place to hide from the rain.

About a quarter of an hour or so.

A drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the sight was originally very dim, but now there is a drizzle blocking it, which has been greatly affected.

in the rain.

Riding the horse.

Another quarter of an hour later, the horses slowly stopped.

In Shen Changqing's line of sight, a faint light flickered not far ahead, as if there was someone.

But there is only a small path in front of you, and there are some thorns on the path. It is not ideal to ride a horse in.

I thought about it.

He got off his horse and led the horse under a tree to fix the reins. It happened that there was also a green grass around it, which could satisfy its hunger.

"Ma'er, fight hard and don't run away with others."

Patting the horse's back, Shen Changqing exhorted, and then walked towards the direction of the light.

Soon.

A courtyard that seemed to be in disrepair appeared in his sight.

The seemingly faint light became obvious after approaching the courtyard.

In a remote wilderness, suddenly there is a courtyard, which is a bit unusual no matter how you look at it.

Shen Changqing's face was condensed.

I stood in front of the courtyard and felt it for a while, and only after I found that there was no yin and evil aura, did I put my heart down a little.

Where there are evil spirits, there will be more or less evil spirits leaking out.

Although the courtyard in front of you is abrupt, but there is no evil spirit, there is little possibility of evil spirits.

Moreover, the territory of Daqin is not calm, and it is not strange that some people have settled in remote places.

Take two steps forward.

Shen Changqing knocked on the courtyard door.

Tuk Tuk!

"Is there anyone please?"

After the words fell, there was no sound in the courtyard, but Shen Changqing could hear some slight footsteps, it seemed that someone was startled by the sudden sound.

In this regard.

He could only say it again patiently.

"I am a passerby, and it is inconvenient to rain now, so I want to come to the precious place to spend the night!"

After Shen Changqing finished speaking, he waited patiently.

About a few hours.

The locked courtyard door opened, and a scholar-like person stuck his head out. When he saw that there was only Shen Changqing alone, the nervous expression on his face eased a little, but when he saw the knife on his waist, he just slowed down. His face became tense again.

It's just that although he was nervous, he didn't close the door again.

Carefully opening the door, the scholar cupped his hands slightly and asked, "It's raining now, so it's not a problem to stay overnight. I haven't asked your Excellency what to call it?"

"Shen Changqing!"

Shen Changqing cupped his hands, and at the same time he was looking at the scholar in front of him.

In his perception, the other party's qi and blood are gentle, it doesn't look like he has martial arts at all, and from the perspective of his words and deeds, it is indeed no different from a scholar.

"It turned out to be Brother Shen, Xiaosheng Mo Zijin, Brother Shen, please come in."

The scholar, that is, Mo Zijin nodded, then moved away.

"Thank you!"

Shen Changqing nodded and stepped inside.

The yard is not big, and a large tree with shade is also planted in front of the door. At the same time, there is a promenade, which can just play the role of shelter from the rain.

At the end of the corridor is the lobby.

The firelight he saw was also reflected from the lobby.

"Brother Shen, come with me."

Mo Zijin walked in front and took Shen Changqing into the lobby.

Immediately, a strong fragrance of ink rushed to his face.

In addition to the ink fragrance, there is also a pungent herbal smell.

Look around.

I only saw a lot of calligraphy and calligraphy hanging in the lobby. At the same time, white paper and pen and ink were placed on a table. The white paper at the top had half-written copybooks, and the ink was not completely dry.

obviously.

The other party was just writing.

On the far right of the lobby, there are many herbs, and there is a stone medicine mortar and pestle.

"Brother Shen, please take a seat."

Mo Zijin took away the calligraphy, painting and copybooks placed on the stool.

Shen Changqing sat down, and his eyes couldn't help but stop on the medicine mortar for a while.

Noticing the change in his eyes, Mo Zijin smiled and said, "Brother Shen doesn't know something. Living alone will inevitably cause some illnesses, so preparing some herbs in advance will never go wrong."

"I see."

Shen Changqing understood.

What the other party said was right. From the remoteness of the place, it can be seen that when there is a real illness, it may not be time to seek medical treatment.

casually.

He also smiled lightly: "Brother Mo lives here alone, aren't you afraid?"

"Speaking of fear, it was natural to have some at the beginning, but after a while, it became like that. I'm a poor scholar with no possessions, even if there are robbers, I don't like this place.

This place is comfortable, and Xiaosheng can just concentrate on his preparations. If he can pass the exam next year, it will be even better. "

Mo Zijin smiled casually.

"If you really can't pass the test, it's not bad to be an escort to help the world and save people."

"Brother Mo is very open."

Shen Changqing smiled, the other party's free and easy, made him a little surprised.

To know.

In Daqin, for ordinary people, obtaining a title is one of the few ways out.

How can an ordinary man be compared to a scholar with a reputation.

Not to mention winning the top spot.

Even if it is just a scholar, he is superior outside.

Just like Shi Qingsheng, the other party is just a scholar with a reputation as a scholar, but he can also get into the position of the main book in the yamen.

"Everything is inferior, only if you are high in reading, if you can get a title, it will definitely be much better than being a middle-class man."

Shen Changqing felt something, and sighed.

heard.

Mo Zijin's eyes lit up, and his attitude suddenly became somewhat enthusiastic: he couldn't help but murmured something.

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high-"

His expression was a little excited.

"Brother Shen is right. Studying is the only way out. How can my generation of scholars abandon literature and pursue martial arts, alas!"

At the end, Mo Zijin let out a long sigh.

Seeing his appearance also aroused Shen Changqing's inner curiosity.

"Looking at the appearance of Brother Mo, it seems that there is something on your mind?"

"It wasn't easy to bring up this matter, but what Brother Shen just said made Xiaosheng feel like he had met a confidant. Since Brother Shen asked, I'll just spit it out!"

Mo Zijin hesitated for a while, then moved the books on the other stool aside, and sat down by himself.

"Xiaosheng has always been familiar with the book of sages and sages, just to get a name, but his talent is dull, he fails the exam every year, and he can't get into the scholar for four or five years in a row, which consumes a lot of money in the family.

Therefore, my father objected to my continuing to study, so he found a martial arts school for me, and let me learn art from a teacher.

Naihe has been studying art for three years, and the harvest is very small. When he went out to practice, he accidentally poked the eyes of the master in the martial arts hall. He lost a lot of money for this, and he was also expelled from the martial arts hall.

Since then, I have been incompetent, and I have been neglected all the year round.

When my father saw this, he was looking for another way of making a living. He asked me to study medicine with Zhenshang Lang for a few years, thinking that I would be able to make a living in the future. "

Mo Zijin talked about some of his past deeds intermittently.

Shen Changqing also listened carefully.

have to say.

The other party's experience was really rough.

After a few years of failing in school, he gave up literature and joined martial arts, but unfortunately it still didn't end at all, and later he gave up martial arts and joined medicine.

"It's a pity that Xiaosheng is not born to study medicine. He still wants to think about fame, not to mention honoring his ancestors and honoring his ancestors, it can be regarded as his wish."

Mo Zijin sighed deeply, then looked at Shen Changqing.

"Speaking of which, Xiaosheng's experience should make Brother Shen laugh!"

"Brother Mo is serious. It is a good thing that you can not forget your original intention. If you work hard now, maybe you will be a scholar next year."

Shen Changqing smiled slightly and comforted.

Mo Zijin also had a smile on his face.

"Brother Shen's opinion is indeed the same as mine, I haven't met someone like you who can talk to me for a long time.

I think Brother Shen is hungry too. Xiaosheng will cook something for you, just to drive away the cold. "

Immediately, he stood up and walked outside the lobby.

Shen Changqing wanted to stop, but it was too late.

After Mo Zijin left, he turned his gaze to the lobby again.

Get up.

Come to the hanging signature screen.

Shen Changqing didn't have a big understanding of these things, but instinctively felt that the copybooks and portraits written on them were very good.

"Sure enough, not only people from other worlds, they like to free themselves when they write. They look good, but they don't understand what it means."

After watching for a long time, he smiled helplessly.

The word is a good word, giving people a feeling of good mood, but can't see what is written on it.

Only the final signature made Shen Changqing vaguely recognizable.

In 130 of the Great Qin Dynasty, it was written by a layman in Luotan.
