On the Avenue

Chapter 233 The lurking minions endure (ask for double monthly votes!)

Baili Mu had a sudden thought, and immediately led the crowd to rush out, preparing to kill Chen Shi, but then he stopped again, his face uncertain.

Gao Chang, the governor of Jiandu, had just ordered him not to touch anything within a hundred miles of Jiandu, otherwise he would be exterminated and the whole family of Shanshan Sect would be destroyed. As soon as Gao Chang left, he turned around and killed Chen Shi. What should Gao Chang think?

Gaochang holds the troops of the Chaandu Prefecture, and it will be easy to destroy his Banshan Sect!

Will the young master really offend this border official and the Gao family for him and the Banshan Sect?

However, a talisman killed hundreds of people from the Mountain Moving Sect. This happened just now, and this murderer was coming in a menacing manner!

Saint Xuan whispered: "Master Baili, please be patient. Master Gao will handle this matter and give you an explanation."

Baili Mu calmed down and said expressionlessly: "Master Gao had better deal with it fairly, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Chen Shi entered the chariot capital and looked around, but he saw chariot making workshops everywhere, which was much busier than other provincial and county towns. Chariots are manufactured here in different categories. Some workshops specialize in manufacturing chariot shafts, some specialize in manufacturing wheels, and some specialize in manufacturing axles.

There are also workshops specializing in canopy design and talisman painting, as well as a horse farm specializing in raising exotic animals and horses, and there is even a market for hiring grooms!

There are also many shops selling complete vehicles here, each with its own sign.

There are different chariots, carriages, ox-carts, canopied ones, open-topped ones, two-horse ones, four-horse ones, six-horse ones, and chariots.

There are also various chariot decorations, including pearls, colored glaze, agate, and necklaces. Pearl agate, which is regarded as a treasure by others, is placed along the street in patches, blooming with a special light in the sun.

Every street is crowded with people buying goods, with accents from all over the place, and the sound of bargaining is noisy.

"When Xiao Wangsun comes here, he will never leave. It's just that he has no money."

Chen Shi slowed down and looked at the shops on both sides.

He wanted to buy something to decorate his wooden cart.

He used the creation talisman to turn the wooden chariot into a living thing. Chen Shi once wanted to modify the chariot and spent a lot of money to buy two horses mixed with dragon blood. He planned to let the horses pull the chariot. He just tied it to the chariot. On the way, he was eaten by a wooden cart.

He also wanted to ride on other chariots, but they were all eaten by wooden chariots.

This wooden car is a relic of my grandfather. It is very simple. It has four wheels connected by a cardinal for easy steering. It has good earthquake resistance. As long as the road is not particularly bad, you will not feel many bumps.

However, the car has no roof, no canopy, and no legs to move horses or animals.

The space inside the car is not big. With two people and a dog, plus a book box and a charm stand, it seems a bit cramped.

And sitting in the car without a futon will hurt your buttocks.

Chen Shi was looking around when a voice came: "Chen Jieyuan has come all the way. Is he here to seek revenge or to buy a car?"

Chen Shi stopped and turned around, only to see a middle-aged man in casual clothes standing not far away, accompanied by two entourages. The two attendants looked like officials, with a strong bureaucratic air. On the contrary, the middle-aged man was not tainted with official air, and his face was very gentle, giving people an approachable feeling.

When Chen Shi heard the word Jie Yuan, he felt a sense of intimacy and said with a smile, "Do you recognize me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Who knows about Chen Shi and Chen Jieyuan, who ranked first in the provincial examinations in Xinxiang and Gongzhou provinces? I was the governor of Gaochang, Xiachaandu, and I met Chen Jieyuan."

"Don't dare take it!"

Chen Shi was so happy that he returned the gift quickly and said with a smile, "Xiao Ke also started to do Xie Yuan in a daze, and he is still a little confused to this day. Xiao Ke thinks that although he is a bit talented, there are so many talented people in Gongzhou and Xinxiang provinces. How can I be so virtuous as to be able to go to high school? Jieyuan? It’s just God’s favor.”

Gao Chang stepped forward and said with a laugh: "Chen Jieyuan doesn't have to be modest. Even if you look at Xiniu Xinzhou, Chen Jieyuan's talent and learning are among the best. Now that the new year is approaching, when will Chen Jieyuan go to Xijing?"

After a few words, he became very familiar with Chen Shi, as if the two had known each other for a long time, and now they were just meeting old friends to reminisce about the past.

Chen Shi said with a smile: "After everything is done, I will go back to Xinxiang and wait for the Chinese New Year before going to Xijing to take the exam."

Gao Chang nodded lightly: "Xijing is a long way away and we really need a good car. Gao has admired Chen Jieyuan for a long time and is willing to give Jieyuan a good car. I wish you success in the coming spring and win three yuan in a row!"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Thank you for your love, sir. I already have a wooden cart. Although it is old, it is a relic of my grandfather and I can't bear to throw it away. This time I just plan to purchase some bits and pieces and modify it."

Gao Chang said solemnly: "Chen Jieyuan is a gentleman. He who cherishes the past without forgetting his roots is a gentleman! Gao admires him."

Chen Shi felt as if his heart had been ironed by what he said, and felt indescribably comfortable.

Gaochang struck while the iron was hot and said: "Chen Jieyuan, I have a merciless request. Look at my chariot capital. Half of the chariots in Xiniu Xinzhou are produced in chariot capital. The trade is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment. They don't have evil thoughts and don't raise bandits. It is considered a Feng Shui treasure in Xiniu Xinzhou.”

Chen Shi nodded.

He also found that the people near Jiandu did live better than the people in other places. Jiandu had industries and supported many people.

If there is industry, there will be food to eat and clothing to wear. The reason is very simple.

Gao Chang said: "I am not talented enough to lead this place. I really don't want to ruin the trade of our capital and make the people homeless. Therefore, I kindly ask you, please don't settle any grievances in the capital. We can settle them after leaving the capital for a hundred miles." ”

He bowed his head to the ground and said with great sincerity: "Gaochang, please leave it to Chen Jieyuan!"

Chen Shi quickly returned the gift and said: "Master Gao, please get up quickly, you're going to hurt me!"

The two stood up.

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Master Gao knows me. I am a simple and honest person. I am a child in the village. I never like to cause trouble. I only fight back when others provoke me. People in the world misunderstand me a lot."

The muscles on the faces of the two officials behind Gao Chang were twitching wildly.

Gao Chang glanced back at them and said sincerely: "I understand Chen Jieyuan very well. You and I are both students of the Master. Naturally, we are knowledgeable and courteous people. How can we cause trouble?"

Chen Shi felt like a close friend and praised: "I didn't expect that Mr. Gao is also a person who practices Confucius' knowledge, and I feel very close to him! I didn't mean to hurt anyone, but the Banshan Sect attacked me. I was helpless. Fight back. Today is just a day to hear the truth, and you will die in the evening."

Gao Chang didn't understand and was a little confused.

Seeing this, Chen Shi secretly sighed in his heart: "Although Mr. Gao has some talent and learning, it is not much. He failed to understand the meaning of Confucius' words."

But Gao Chang understood Chen Shi's unwillingness to cause trouble and said with a smile: "Chen Jieyuan, don't worry, I have ordered the Banshan Sect and Bailiantang. They will never attack you within a hundred miles of the chariot capital. All grudges will be resolved." Let’s talk about it after we get to Nianzhou. What do you think, Jie Yuan?”

Chen Shi said happily: "How dare you disobey Mr. Gao's orders?"

Gao Chang laughed and said: "Chen Jieyuan's talent and learning are extremely high. He will definitely go to high school. In the future, he will become an official in the same dynasty. Chen Zhuangyuan must not forget Gao Chang!"

Chen Shi said in fear: "I don't dare to be called the number one scholar! We haven't even taken the exam yet!"

"It's inevitable!"

The two talked and laughed, and were very satisfied with each other.

Gao Chang saw Saint Xuan approaching and said with a smile: "This Ji Xuanxuan from Bodhi Dojo is known as Saint Xuan. Bodhi Dojo is one of the three holy places in Buddhism. Saint Xuan studied under Master Miaoyin and came from a famous family."

Saint Xuan came and greeted Gao Chang and Chen Shi.

Gao Chang returned the courtesy and said: "Xie Yuan, I have some trivial matters, so I'll take my leave now."

"My lord, I won't send it away."

Chen Shi's eyes fell on Saint Xuan. This woman was well-dressed, with a well-proportioned figure, a slender waist, and fair skin.

The most attractive thing is a small black mole on the corner of her upper right lip. When people look at her, their eyes fall on her lips, which makes them feel a little more lustful.

However, her temperament has an ethereal and deserted feeling that comes from Buddhism, without the smell of smoke.

Saint Xuan was tall and tall. As she approached, a faint fragrance came from her body. It was not strong, but very elegant. She whispered to Chen Shi, "Xuanxuan has met Mr. Chen."

Chen Shi's face changed slightly and he turned sideways to avoid it.

Saint Xuan was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "I don't like the title of Young Master very much. I always feel that it insults me."

Saint Xuan's eyebrows curved and she smiled: "Then what should I call you? Xiao Shi? Or Chen Shi?"

Chen Shi said: "I'm not that familiar with the Saint. You can call me Chen Jieyuan, or Master Jieyuan."

Saint Xuan smiled charmingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, Master Jie Yuan."

She tried to get closer to Chen Shi, but instead of choosing the title Chen Jieyuan, she lowered her profile and used the joking title Master Jieyuan.

It is undeniable that she is the kind of woman who is hard to dislike. She has a beautiful appearance and is a rare beauty. Her figure is graceful and well-proportioned. Especially coming from a Buddhist background, people have a desire to revere and blaspheme the Buddha.

Chen Shi was quite curious about her and said: "The Bodhi Temple is one of the three Buddhist holy places. Could it be a nunnery?"

Saint Xuan shook her head and said: "There is a nunnery in the Bodhi dojo, but it is not a nunnery. There is also a nunnery in the dojo. The place where my master Miaoyin lives is called Zhishui nunnery. If Senior Brother Chen is interested, you can go to Bodhi. Stay in the ashram for a while.”

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Not interested. Are you a nun? Why do you still have hair?"

Saint Xuan frowned slightly.

The question was somewhat offensive to her.

"I am not yet sixteen, and my earthly connection is not over. Now I am just leading the family. When I get married, I will shave my hair and practice. At that time, these three thousand earthly threads will no longer exist." She explained.

"I see."

Chen Shi lost interest in her and went to the shops on the street with great interest, looking for items that could be used on wooden carts.

Saint Xuan followed him and said softly: "Senior Brother Chen is so talented..."

"I never went to school." Chen Shi said.

He walked into a store that sold canopies for cars to protect them from the sun and rain.

However, not everyone can use the canopy. It can only be used by princes when traveling. If it is used by ordinary people, it is trespassing and will be jailed.

But in Xiniu Xinzhou, etiquette has long since collapsed, so who cares about this?

As long as you have money, Huagai can be used.

Saint Xuanxuan followed behind him and whispered softly: "Senior Brother Chen has the talent and learning he has today without ever going to school, which shows that he is very intelligent. Xuanxuan wants to be a peacemaker, please invite Senior Brother Chen and Baili The sect master sat down, drank wine and talked happily, turning conflicts into friendship. "

Chen Shi looked at the canopies hanging on the walls and roofs. Some were extremely exquisite, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, and mountains and rivers embroidered on them. Some were made of luxurious materials, with necklaces, agate and pearls hung on them. Others focus on defense. Various defensive talismans are drawn on the canopy. One canopy has hundreds of talismans, and its defensive power is astonishing.

"Thank you Saint for your kindness."

Chen Shi kept his eyes fixed and said, "Master Baili is the master of Banshan Sect. The Banshan Sect specializes in robbing tombs. According to my laws of the Ming Dynasty, everyone in the family will be killed. How can I have a drink with such a lawless man? How can I have a good time with him? This matter Don’t mention it again... Shopkeeper, take down this canopy!”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper pointed to an umbrella-shaped canopy and asked, "This one?"

Chen Shi nodded.

The store owner took down the canopy. This canopy is different from other canopies. Other canopies cannot be closed, but it has an umbrella-like structure and can be folded when not in use.

This canopy is as tall as a person. It is open and covers one foot in size. There are one hundred and eight folds on the canopy. It is made of hard wood and has not been painted with talismans.

The shopkeeper said: "Sir, this canopy is blank."

"Just this. How much does it cost?"

"Five taels of silver."

Chen Shi bargained with him, while Saint Xuan stood by and waited. Soon after, Chen Shi paid three taels and seven cents for the canopy before he paid.

Saint Xuan looked strange and thought: "This person is only twelve or thirteen years old, just like a common citizen."

The canopy Chen Shi bought did not have any talismans. He obviously planned to draw the talismans himself. In her opinion, this was stingy.

However, she still waited quietly for Chen Shi to pay, and the store owner found some coins from Chen Shi, and then said: "Senior Brother Chen, since you don't want to turn hostility into friendship, Xuanxuan can't say anything more..."

Chen Shi said in surprise: "You haven't left yet? I thought you had left long ago."

Saint Xuan's face turned red, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. She said softly: "That Nether Spring Swimming Dragon Sword belongs to the young master. Senior Brother Chen took it away to steal his beauty. Mr. Chen, can you give Xuan Xuan a thin face and take this sword away?" Return the sword..."

Chen Shi glanced at her and said, "You are a nun, why do you have a mortal heart?"

Saint Xuanxuan said: "It's not that Xuanxuan moved the hearts of ordinary people, but that chaos is everywhere in the world. The true god outside the sky has repeatedly darkened early, and the days are short and the nights are long. I'm afraid there will be an unimaginable catastrophe. This is a sign of troubled times. Master, you have He is destined to support the world and is the only one who can end the troubled times and unify Xiniu Xinzhou! "

She took a step closer and persuaded softly: "Senior Brother Chen, why don't you return the Youquan Dragon Sword and join the Young Master? In the future, you will also follow the Dragon Skill..."

Before the word "hero" came out of her mouth, Chen Shi hit her lower abdomen with his knee, causing her Yuan Yin to collapse and causing unimaginable pain.

Saint Xuan was so shocked that she bent down in pain.

Chen Shi punched her right ear, knocking her to the ground. He raised the canopy in his hand and was about to smash it down. After thinking about it, he put it aside, pulled out the pole of another canopy and hit Saint Xuan!

"Bah bang bang!"

A clear sound of whipping came. There were various talisman marks on the canopy, which was extremely strong, but how powerful was Chen Zhi? After more than a dozen strokes, the pole cracked.

Chen Shi changed the pole again, whipped it dozens of times, and broke the pole. Then he straightened up and threw it aside.

Saint Xuan was beaten with bruises all over her body, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She could bear the pain at first, but then the pain was too much, so she screamed out, and her voice soon became hoarse.

"Seller, how much do two poles cost? I'll pay." Chen Shi asked.

The shopkeeper was panicked and did not dare to quote a high price after hearing this. He said: "These two poles were made by a great talisman master. The cost is more than eighty taels."

"It's so expensive."

Chen Shi shook his sore arm, took out a hundred taels of silver notes, and said, "Look for me ten taels."

The shopkeeper hurriedly looked for money.

Chen Shi collected the money, took out his canopy, put it on his shoulder and walked out. Unable to forgive his hatred, he kicked Saint Xuan twice on the buttocks.

He kicked the woman out of the Huagai store.

"If you don't meditate in Buddhism and worship the Buddha, you come out to work as a lobbyist for the young master! You are so shameless!"

Chen Shi strode out of the Huagai store and took a sip at Saint Xuan, "If I hadn't promised Master Gao to give him a face and not kill people in the city, otherwise you would have been praised as a Taoist friend in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"
