Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Bao Zheng followed Lingji into the Zen room, and after the two sat opposite each other, Lingji sized Bao Zheng up carefully. This careful scrutiny made Bao Zheng a little uncomfortable, and Lingji's cloudy eyes seemed to be able to see As if something happened, he felt chills down his spine.

"Hehe... Master Bao is indeed a genius." Lingji said with a smile, and then sighed softly, "Unfortunately, my apprentice is not as blessed as Master Bao."

Bao Zheng was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you say? Gongsun told him..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, even though you don't have the blessing of Donor Bao, you can still live your life safely." Ling Ji waved his hands and said, but he didn't want to talk deeply, so he changed the subject and said, "Benefactor Bao, I have something to trouble Master Bao. "

Hearing this, Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Master is not only Gongsun Ce's master, but also my elder. The elder has a destiny, so I dare not disobey." As soon as Bao Zheng said this, Lingji looked deeply at Bao Zheng. Save a few points.

I thought he was a talented, upright and strong scholar, but he didn't expect that he would have such a scheming mind.Hehe... Also, how could a person who possesses such a fortune-telling theory be an ordinary pedantic person?

Lingji smiled slightly, "That's very good. In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, for the next month, my apprentice must live in this temple, meditate to recuperate, and not be disturbed by worldly things." Lingji didn't To be blunt, but the meaning in the words is very clear.

Naturally, Bao Zheng could understand it. This was originally his plan. Leaking the secret made Gongsun Ce look like this. If it was as Gongsun Ce said, the murder in Qianli Lake really broke out. With Gongsun Ce's temper, He will definitely come to investigate the case, and that will be troublesome.Now he just wants Gongsun Ce to recuperate from his illness!

But... wait, a month? !What about Gongsun Ce's exam?

Bao Zheng quickly raised his head and asked, "Master, what about the exam?"

Lingji shook his head and said softly, "My apprentice has no seal of fate. Although he has a destiny with the government office, he has no fate."

Bao Zheng couldn't help lowering his head in a daze, then, is there no way for Gongsun Ce to stand on the court with him?

*****

Gongsun Ce sat in the yard, closed his eyes and listened quietly to the sound of the wind, the sound of dancing leaves, and felt that the haze in his heart was gradually cleared away.

Goodbye to Master Lingji, it made Gongsun Ce's restless heart calm down a bit.

He is not afraid of death, but he is not willing to part with too many people.His parents, Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao... now with Master Lingji's words, he seems to have found a backer, he has more confidence in his heart, and he is more sure about the future.

As long as you stay in this temple peacefully for a month, you will be carefree.

"Tired?" A very familiar low voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, looked at Bao Zheng who was looking down at him, and curled the corners of his mouth, "It's okay."

Bao Zheng stared, his eyes softened, "Then go back to the wing to rest, don't sleep here, it's not good if you catch a cold."

"En." Gongsun Ce nodded, got up, walked behind Bao Zheng, and walked towards the prepared wing.

When he arrived at the door of the wing room, Bao Zheng stopped, looked at Gongsun Ce who was one step behind, and said solemnly, "I'm going down the mountain now, you can rest well here, and tomorrow I will visit you at Changzhao. From now on, every day I will ask someone to come up and give you something, please be good, don't run out of the temple."

Gongsun Ce was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going to accompany me?"

As soon as these words came out, they became a little more ambiguous.Gongsun Ce didn't realize it yet, but Bao Zheng was keenly aware of it, but he smiled without changing his face, but the smile was more gentle, "I will come to see you, the master said, I can't disturb your rest .So, I can't stay too long."

Gongsun Ce felt a little disappointed, but smiled slightly, "Then you should come more."

"It's natural."

After sending Bao Zheng away, he turned back to the wing room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and was in a daze for a while. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that since his rebirth, he seemed to have never been separated from Bao Zheng.The two of them would meet every day, discuss poetry and Taoism, and investigate cases together. Now, this was the first time that they were separated from Bao Zheng.

It's strange, in his previous life, he was also separated from Bao Zheng, and the separation lasted for three years, but he never felt such a sense of loss and loneliness.

Gongsun Ce thought about it, maybe it was because although he and Bao Zheng were separated for three years in his previous life, they lived together for more than 20 years.So, now, not used to it?

After Gongsun Ce came to this conclusion, he couldn't help laughing, shook his head, put it aside, closed his eyes, slowly settled his mind, and began to silently recite the scriptures given to him by Master Lingji.

*****

Besides, Bao Zheng left Lingguang Temple, got into the carriage, and headed towards Bai's small restaurant.

But after entering the city gate, Bao Zheng got out of the carriage.

"Mr. Bao, are you not sitting?" the simple and honest coachman asked in confusion.

Bao Zheng smiled slightly, "No, I want to look around."

Although the coachman was puzzled, he still smiled honestly and reminded in a low voice, "Young Master Bao, be careful, there are officials everywhere in the capital."

"I know, thank you for reminding me, old man." Bao Zheng said very politely.

The coachman was at a loss, smiled honestly, and bid farewell to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng watched the coachman go away, and then walked slowly.

Knowing that Gongsun Ce will be fine in a month, Bao Zheng put a big stone down in his heart.Thinking about the Qianli Lake, even though it was just what Gongsun Ce saw in his dream, Bao Zheng believed in Gongsun Ce. Since Gongsun Ce had dreamed it, it would definitely happen. Why don't you take advantage of the time now and walk around to get to know the capital? The second is to investigate first.

As for the exam... To be honest, after knowing that Gongsun Ce couldn't take the exam, Bao Zheng felt a little disappointed, but taking the exam in the capital city was his wish for many years, and it was also his aunt's wish, so he would take it no matter what.

As for after the exam, what should he and Gongsun Ce do?He hadn't thought about this yet, but subconsciously he had already affirmed one thing, to keep Gongsun Ce by his side!

Walking around the capital, casually looking at the stalls on the side of the road, occasionally squatting down to have a look, and bought a few interesting gadgets for Gongsun Ce. I think it would be very boring for him to live alone in the temple, although Gongsun Ce would definitely He smiled and said, he can read books or something.

Bao Zheng sighed softly in his heart, no matter what he does now, no matter where he is, he will always think of him inadvertently.

This, is the thought.

Just as he was about to move forward, he saw someone roughly pushing a scholar out of the study in front of him.

"You want to sell that broken painting for 200 taels! Hmph! Who do you think you are?!"

"Why can't I! My paintings are exactly the same as those of today's saints. Why can the paintings of saints sell for 2000 taels, but I can't!" The scholar seemed very unconvinced.

"Haha... What a fool! When your painting is also stamped with the seal of the current saint, you can sell it for 2000 taels! Haha..."

The onlookers also started to laugh, the book blushed with anger, wanted to reason, but seemed unable to reason, and sullenly lowered his head to pick up the calligraphy and painting thrown out by the man.It happened that a scroll of painting rolled to Bao Zheng's feet. Bao Zheng knelt down, picked up the painting, got up and walked towards the scholar, "Brother, your painting."

The scholar looked very embarrassed at this time, looked up at Bao Zheng, snatched it angrily, and said sullenly, "Thank you."

Bao Zheng didn't take it seriously, he turned around and wanted to leave, after thinking about it, he turned around and whispered to the scholar, "If you really want to learn painting, it's better not to copy the current master."

When the scholar heard this, he seemed to be angry, and looked at Bao Zheng coldly, "You said that the paintings of today's saints are not good?!"

When Bao Zheng saw that the scholar was angry, he just smiled lightly, "Nowadays, the paintings of the Holy Majesty can only be regarded as artisan paintings. They are too heavy and have fallen to the bottom. If you want to learn painting, you'd better find some paintings with spiritual energy to copy them." After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he turned and left.

Therefore, Bao Zheng did not see the scholar staring at Bao Zheng thoughtfully.

Bao Zheng walked slowly all the way, came to a teahouse, went in, asked for a pot of tea and a plate of peanuts, poured himself a drink, but listened to the discussions of the people in the teahouse.

"Hey, have you heard? A female ghost appeared in Qianli Lake again!"

"real or fake!?"

"Of course it's true, hey, that Yun Chang is really pitiful."

"Oh, I heard that Yun Chang is not only beautiful, but also a talented woman!"

"Not only is she a talented woman, but Miss Yunshang knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was popular in the whole capital back then."

"Such a beautiful woman, but why is she living in a brothel?"

"Hey, it's all a love word!"

"Hey, what do you say?"

"Miss Yunshang has both talent and appearance, and she appeared suddenly. Is she from an ordinary family? Besides, Miss Yunshang was very proud when she was a showman but not a person. How could she throw herself into the lake for no reason? And if you want to make such a beautiful woman so There must be only one word of love in general."

"Hey, it's reasonable! But... what does this have to do with the haunting of Qianli Lake that we are going to talk about now?"

"Ahem... It's not that I was interrupted by you so that I didn't know what to say."

"Oh, you just said that Qianli Lake was haunted last night! Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"

"I heard that the scholars who were taking the exam went to guess the poem last night, but they saw a white shadow drifting across the Qianli Lake, and there was the sound of someone playing the piano. As a result, those courageous scholars ran away in fright!"

"I also heard that someone has already invited the mage and priest!"

"Hey... Do you think this is really Yunshang's ghost?"

"Hey, it's hard to say, it's hard to say, that Yun Chang was trapped by love, even jumped into the lake to commit suicide, it's hard to guarantee that her resentment will not dissipate."

"Please! Old man, don't say any more! I'm getting chills when you say that in such a clear sky."

"Haha... boy, why are you so timid..."

Bao Zheng sat on the side and listened, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Ghost?Hehe... this is really interesting.
