Fox Road Travel Notes

Mr. Canghai is angry.

I scratched the beard on my face and realized, yes, I didn’t make a penny today, but I still lost five hundred taels.

I am a liar, so I am indeed not qualified.

Wang Heming chuckled and said, "I think Teacher Cang impressed me today!"

"Let's not talk about it for now. He has three teachings and nine schools, and he knows everything."

"Moreover, not only did he generously donate his money today to help this pair of fateful couple, he also really helped Ding Laoshuan and Liu Wang."

"If there were all such liars in this world, they would be cute and respectable!"

"I'll pay for the five hundred taels..."

Mr. Canghai smiled brightly at his praise and waved his hands repeatedly: "Commander Wang is too polite. It's only five hundred taels, what's the point..."

At this moment, the door of the shop was banged "bang bang bang".

Someone shouted loudly: "Is Taoist Wang here?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Chen Zican said loudly: "Everyone, please come back. My master is meditating and has no visitors."

A middle-aged man coughed and said respectfully: "I am the secret servant of Zhangfutai in Weihui Mansion. My surname is Zhao."

"Zhang Futai heard that Taoist Wang Yun traveled here, and wanted to invite him to visit him in exchange for a favor."

Chen Zican said: "Oh, it's Master Zhao, I'm sorry!"

"My master is doing some repairs, so I don't want to disturb him."

"Sir, please reply to Master Futai. I will report to him after my master comes out."

"If I have the chance, I will definitely visit you."

Thinking that he had heard about the magical powers of Taoist Wang, Master Zhao did not dare to pester him, so he said a few polite words and left with the others.

Chen Zican walked back and forth a few steps: "Even the prefect was alarmed."

"I think there will be some movement at Tang Dongting's house next door."

"Brother Wang, are you done with the painting?"

"It must be sent back tonight."

Wang Heming was surprised and said: "In such a hurry? The painting is done, but it is old..."

Chen Zican smiled and said: "What I'm looking for for you is old paper, not ancient paintings, so why are they old!"

"Just put some stain on it as it is and replace the core."

"Teacher Cang, I need to trouble you to make a trip tonight."

Cang Haijun reluctantly agreed.

Before dawn the next day, Chen Zican was awakened by the noisy voices outside the door. It was still dark outside the window.

Cang Haijun sat cross-legged on the ground and asked, "Are you awake?"

Chen Zican hummed and pointed outside.

Lord Canghai said: "Those who were queuing up, just after the third watch, someone came with a lantern."

"Now, there are at least a few hundred at the door."

Chen Zican was speechless and turned over to sleep again.

When I woke up this time, the sky had turned white. Wang Heming had also gotten up and was washing up.

He walked to the window and looked out through the gap. Oh my god, the crowds outside were full of human figures.

He smiled bitterly: "You can't get out of the door!"

"Teacher Cang, take Brother Wang out of the back window here and in through the back window over there."

He waited for Mr. Canghai to return before opening the door.

The crowd suddenly burst into cheers: "The little fairy has come out, where is your master?"

Chen Zican turned around and locked the door. When he walked outside the shop door, he saw two figures kneeling respectfully in front of the door.

He was startled, and when he took a closer look, he saw that they were not the girls Yu Wude and Du Juan who had been here yesterday.

Chen Zican asked curiously: "Why are you so early?"

"What are you doing kneeling here? Get up quickly..."

He stretched out his hand to pull it, but the two of them fell to the ground and couldn't pull it at all, so they had to forget it.

He opened the door, and Wang Heming was still sitting in his feathered robes and starry crown, with his eyes slightly lowered, sitting upright behind the long table.

It seems like it hasn't moved since yesterday.

Chen Zican bowed and saluted: "Master..."

Before they could say anything, Yu Wude and Du Juan had already thrown themselves down in front of the table, kowtowing repeatedly.

Choking with sobs, he shouted: "Thank you so much, God. My husband and I are grateful!"

Wang Heming opened his eyes and said warmly: "Get up!"

"It's not me who can help you, but you yourself."

"If you two hadn't vowed to live and die together and never leave each other, you might not have been able to see me."

"I hope you will not forget these days and support each other until we grow old together."

Chen Zican helped them stand up.

Yu Wude took out the letter of fate, put it on his head, and returned it to Wang Heming.

Wang Heming smiled and said: "Keep it as a souvenir. Today is a good time to travel. Please pack it up and return to Baoding Mansion early."

Yu Wude responded, placing the life book on his chest and putting it away with great care.

Pulling Du Juan, she had to kneel down and kowtow.

Chen Zican supported them and warned them again: "My master doesn't like this."

"He always said that everyone is created equal. It's hard to stand up. You can't kneel down casually anymore!"

Du Juan said softly: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, I will remember it!"

Someone shouted: "Miss Dujuan, what exactly is written in Wang Xianchang's life book?"

"I'm willing to pay ten taels of silver as a farewell gift to you. Can you let me see it?"

Suddenly there were dozens of people everywhere echoing: "I will pay five taels..."

"I'll pay you five taels, and Miss Dujuan will tell us?"

"Okay, I'll also pay five taels..."

Wu De and Du Juan lowered their heads and were about to leave.

Chen Zican grabbed him and said with a smile: "Since everyone has good intentions, Wude, just tell me this fate book and what the master told you yesterday. It's okay!"

He raised his head and said loudly to the crowd: "I just said that if you want to give Miss Dujuan a farewell, come to the front."

"Pay the money first!"

In a short time, Du Juan had a heavy bag of broken silver in her pomegranate skirt, which amounted to more than a hundred taels.

With tears in her eyes, she kept thanking everyone.

Wu De cupped his hands in all directions and said, "Thank you very much to all the folks in Weihui Mansion."

"Yesterday, Immortal Wang calculated the origin of our names accurately."

"He asked me to come over and told me that he would burn a magic talisman and inform the City God here."

"Ask him to be a matchmaker and lend me five hundred taels of silver to make this marriage happen."

"Second update tonight. You can go to the Chenghuang Temple to pick it up from the incense table."

He glanced at Wang Heming, his face full of gratitude: "The Immortal also said that I don't need to pay back this silver."

"As long as you go back, work hard to make a living, earn money, and do more good deeds, you will be able to repay the favor of the City God..."

Everyone praised one after another, and someone asked: "So, did you really go to the Chenghuang Temple last night?"

Wu De blushed: "This matter is related to my life and Du Juan's life, how can I not go?"

"It's just that at that time, I was a little hesitant."

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the Immortal is just teasing the villain, and I'm afraid that the City God won't care about such nosy matters..."

"But when I went to the City God's Temple, I saw a red cloth parcel on the altar table."

“When you open it, it’s all silver, a total of five hundred taels of silver—!”

"I couldn't be happier."

"I kowtowed to the City God more than a dozen times, and hurried back to Tianxiang Tower to tell Du Juan."

"She didn't believe it until she saw the package. It was all real!"

"We immediately went to find Mother Wang. She had already rested."

"When he heard us knocking on the door, the boss was impatient and wanted to embarrass Du Juan."

"After hearing the whole story and seeing a really big bag of silver, I was so shocked that I couldn't even close my mouth."

"Without saying anything, he immediately returned Du Juan's deed of betrayal to me!"

He bowed to the surrounding people again, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Du Juan and I are going back to Baoding Mansion today."

"Our two despicable lives were given by Wang Xianchang. He is a living god who saves the suffering!"

"Come, take a look at this fortune book. Is there any lie in what I, the Five Virtues, said?"
