Chapter 28 Gifts

In Dao Nian's residence, the lights were bright, Shen Chang'an just pushed Dao Nian in, when he saw the people who usually lived in this house and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday." Liu Mao put a gift box into Shen Changan's hands.

"Thank you." Shen Chang'an was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that Liu Mao also specially prepared a gift for him.

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday, I wish you no illness or disaster."

"Mr. Shen, happy birthday, I wish you good luck."

One gift after another was placed in his arms, so many that he could barely hold them: "Thank you for your blessings, and your gifts, it's just..."

"Keep it at ease." Seeing that the gift in his arms was about to fall to the ground, Dao Nian reached out to help him put the gift on his knee, and turned his head and said to the crowd, "You all go back, it's time for Chang'an to go to bed."

"Yes, sir." Liu Mao led everyone back, and when he turned to look at Shen Changan, Shen Changan was smiling back at him, he was slightly taken aback, and returned a kind smile.

As I live older, I can't help but like those lovely lives with clean souls.

"That..." After everyone left, Shen Changan pushed Dao Nian into the elevator, "Dao Nian, everyone prepared gifts for me for your sake?" He felt that he was a hateful relationship, In order to have better treatment in front of the boss, the employees had to prepare gifts to please him.

"They all like you." Dao Nian reached out to press the up button, "Don't think too much about it."

"Well, half because of liking me, and half because of you." Shen Changan pushed Dao Nian back to the room, put the gift on his lap on the carpet, sat down cross-legged, and began to unwrap the present.

Unwrapping the first gift, well, a diamond watch.

Unwrap the second gift, a designer wallet.

Unwrapping the third gift, a car key, and the famous car logo on the car key made him a little scared.

Not halfway through the dismantling, Shen Changan was afraid to dismantle it, he shook his hands and looked at Dao Nian: "Dao Nian, are the employees' benefits in your family very good?"

"They're all useless things to make children happy." Dao Nian glanced at the pile of gifts, and pointed to an orange box: "Unpack this."

Shen Changan opened it as he said, and in this box, there was an exquisite sugar figurine, wrapped in rice paper, exuding a faint sweet fragrance.

"It's okay, let's eat."

Shen Changan remembered that this was given by the uncle who usually cooks in the kitchen. He looked at the sugar figurine, put it back in the box, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and broke half of the sugar figurine through the rice paper cake. Gi Daonian: "Half for you."

"It's useless to me." Daonian didn't answer.

"As long as the food is delicious and harmless, it doesn't matter if it's useful or not." Shen Chang'an stuffed half of the sugar figurine into Daonian's mouth, and continued to unwrap presents with the sugar figurine in his mouth. object.

He sat on the ground blankly, looking at the valuables all over the floor, turned his head to look at Daonian in a daze, then squeezed his arm, it hurt.

"Dao Nian, I read a story before." Shen Changan finished eating the sugar figurines with his head down, and put all these precious gifts back into the gift boxes. "A man had a dream. In this dream, he entered a In a village like a paradise, the people in the village gave him many precious things to welcome him, he was happy for a long time, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was just a dream."

The faint sweet fragrance had already melted on the tip of his tongue, and Dao Nian looked at Shen Chang'an silently, with some puzzlement in his eyes.

"I like the presents from everyone." Shen Changan piled up the gift boxes neatly. Put it here with you, can you keep it for me?"

He has already accepted these things, and if he finds someone to return them one by one, it will not only make the atmosphere awkward, but also make Dao Nian lose face.So after much deliberation, he decided that putting things here in Dao Nian was the most suitable choice.

"Okay." Dao Nian hesitated for a few seconds, "I gave it to you, you wear it."

"I'm wearing it." Shen Changan took out the necklace with body temperature around his neck, gave Dao Nian a look, and crossed his legs to face Dao Nian, "Dao Nian, if I were a woman and you were a king, would this scene tonight look like a courtier?" Flattering the traitor concubine?"

Dao Nian: "..."

Are human beings so good at blackmailing themselves?

Dao Nian: "Don't think about it, go to sleep." Stretching out his finger, Dao Nian refused to discuss such inexplicable topics with Shen Chang'an, because talking would make him tired.

"Hey." Shen Changan got up from the carpet, put the gift box on the cabinet next to him, retreated to the door, and waved to Daonian, "Good night."

Dao Nian hooked his fingers twice to show that he heard it.Suddenly, he thought of something, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and threw them to Shen Changan.

"What is this?" Shen Changan took the key and looked through the keys on it.

"Keys to gates, houses, and cars." Daonian said, "There are too many cars, and they accumulate dust. Take them to open." He noticed just now that Shen Changan put the keys of luxury cars together in a gift box and kept them with him, so he had to re-open them. Get him one.

Lest you sweat profusely on your bike in order to get back in the middle of the night.

Shen Chang'an held the bunch of keys tightly, and smiled at Dao Nian: "Dao Nian, thank you for the three birthday presents you gave me."

Dao Nian was stunned, didn't he just give a necklace?

When he woke up the next morning, Shen Changan heard that the downstairs was very lively, changed his clothes and went downstairs, and found that there were many strangers in the room. When these strangers saw Shen Changan, they all showed warm smiles.

Shen Changan searched around in the living room, but did not see Dao Nian, and asked Liu Mao, "Mr. Liu, where is Dao Nian?"

"Sir is in the greenhouse outside." Liu Mao pointed to the greenhouse outside, "You can find it over there."

"Okay." Shen Changan nodded, nodded and smiled at these strangers, and walked quickly towards the door.

"Mr. Shen..." Someone wanted to call Shen Changan to stop, but Liu Mao gave him a glare with a smile, and quickly swallowed the words back.

Shen Chang'an inexplicably felt that these people were strange, pretended not to hear the shout, strode to the greenhouse to find Dao Nian to play with.When he came back with Dao Nian, all the strangers in the living room disappeared, and the table was piled high with gift boxes.

"Mr. Liu, what did those people come here for?" Shen Changan noticed that the house had been cleaned again, even the flowers in the vases had been replaced.

"They are all people who want to curry favor with your husband. When they heard about your birthday, they cheekily approached the door." Liu Mao smiled, "Don't worry about it, I have already checked the gifts they sent. , no problem. If you like it, you can accept it, and if you don’t like it, you can give it to a friend or throw it away.”

Shen Changan:  …

It's over, the feeling of being a concubine seems to be stronger.

It is not a secret that Dao Nian celebrated Shen Chang'an's birthday, so it spread quickly.

"Master Daonian, you actually celebrated the birthday of the human being who stayed by your side?" The bird clan demon cultivator who had just heard the news couldn't believe his ears.

As early as a thousand years ago, that lord stopped meddling in human affairs, and he didn't see any race he was close to. Now he suddenly left a human by his side to live temporarily, which has attracted the attention of all walks of life. Who would have thought that he would celebrate his birthday?

This is as absurd as humans congratulating mayflies and ants, and it makes all the gods and monsters can't help but think about it.

In the past few thousand years, because of the prosperity of the human race, they have long disliked human beings, and now there are still human beings who are favored by adults, how can they sit still?

Those with strong mobility sent people to inquire about the details in the name of celebrating their birthday with big gifts.Because Kong Ying of the Bird Clan and an elder had seen the appearance of a human being, some people also came to the Bird Clan to inquire about the news.

Kong Ying had just been punished, and sat on a chair with a very pale complexion, no matter how others asked him, he would not speak.The elder of the Bird Clan was very cunning, he seemed to have said everything, but in fact he didn't say anything.

After sending away the gods and demons who came to inquire about the news, the elders of the bird clan got together and considered how to treat this human being.

"Since there are humans who can please the adults, why can't the birds of our bird clan do it?" An elder of the bird clan said suddenly, "Is the appearance of human beings comparable to the descendants of the peacock clan?"

All the elders suddenly realized that since human beings can please adults, it means that adults have not yet reached the point where they have no feelings.In this way, their other races also have a chance.

If you can get half of the adult's favor, why worry about the family's unhappiness?

Humans are still the most shameless, they started to use beauty tricks so early, and they were the first to start.

After a lively birthday at Dao Nian's house, Shen Changan drove the car that Dao Nian lent him and brought back a bunch of food and clothes.

When I got out of the car, I ran into the father who was about to jump off the building because of the child's homework. The other party was very enthusiastic when he saw him: "Little brother, did you buy a new car?"

"No, it was a friend who saw that I used to ride a bicycle too hard to get off work, so he borrowed my car to drive." Shen Changan moved three big bags out of the car, and the father helped him move a big bag. bag.

"Brother, do you live in this building?" In the corridor, the man's voice trembled.

"En." Shen Changan nodded and said, "When we moved here, the location here was good and the rent was cheap, so we chose this place."

"Cheap is cheap, but here..." The man was startled when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an old man with a ruddy complexion.

"Uncle Zhang, are you back?" Shen Changan saw Uncle Zhang and greeted him with a smile. Seeing that his complexion was not very good, he took out a few fruits from the big bag and stuffed them into Uncle Zhang's arms, "You always have to pay attention rest."

Looking at the aura-filled fruit in his hand, Uncle Zhang racked his brains to wonder if he still had something good to return, "I came back two days ago." During his absence, what did Shen Changan do and why? The merits and virtues on the body are deeper?

"I've been playing at a friend's house for the past few days, and I don't even know you've come back." Speaking of this, Shen Chang'an was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he had already lived in Dao Nian's house for several days.

"Your friend..." Uncle Zhang wanted to ask very much, who is Shen Changan's friend who is so important that these spiritual vegetables and fruits are given to him as if they don't need money?He has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen a crop with such ample aura. Nothing can compare to a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and a thousand-year-old ginseng.

It just doesn't look like it grew out of the ground.

Shen Changan couldn't talk to Uncle Zhang about Nian's private affairs, so he smiled at him and picked up two big bags and said, "I'll put the things upstairs first."

"Mmm." Uncle Zhang, who was about to go out, turned around and went back to the house with the fruit Shen Changan sent him in his arms.

He carefully took out the pulp, and after eating it clean, he even put the peel and core in a jade box, saving it for next time as medicine.

The rest of the fruit was not willing to eat, and was going to take it back to the senior elders of Shimen.The sect of his Zhang surname is considered to be a first-class practice family in China, and the resources it possesses are envied by countless practitioners, but they can't grow such a thing.I don't know, is it a human or a demon who took out these?

It can be seen that in this mysterious world, human beings are not particularly remarkable existences.

As soon as the fruits were put away, the communication equipment in the room rang. He pressed the answer button, and images of several great practitioners appeared on the projection cloth on the wall.

"What happened?" Uncle Zhang saw that these people were all there, and realized that something big had happened, he felt a little uneasy. Could it be that some evil spirit has come out to cause harm to the world?

"Big event." One of the masters said, "I watched the stars last night and found that the way of heaven has changed."

"The way of heaven has changed?" Uncle Zhang stood up in fright, and wanted to see the master's expression clearly, only to realize that this was a projection and not a real person, so he could barely maintain his composure and sat back. Do humans have a big influence?"

"How can we ordinary people easily calculate the path of heaven?" The master smiled wryly, "If Tianshi Yuan and Huang Guanzi are alive, they may be able to guess one or two."

Everyone is silent, these practitioners are not as good as the next generation, and many of them can't even learn the techniques of divination and gossip left by their ancestors, let alone observe the way of heaven and measure the rise and fall.

The one who can see the changes in the way of heaven is already the best monk among them who is good at forecasting and astrology. If he can't figure it out, neither can the rest of them.

"Then take a step and watch?" After a long silence between each other, it was Uncle Zhang who spoke first, "I forgot to tell you about something because of the filth in the north, I found a young man with ten lifetimes of merit. "

"The virtuous body of the tenth life?" Master Yan Yin, who was silent from the beginning to the end, looked at Uncle Zhang seriously, "Amitabha, fellow Daoist Zhang, do you know if this virtuous person is married?"

"No marriage."

"Can parents be enlightened?"

"No parents."

"That……"

Master Yan Yin's words were interrupted by a knock on the door, Uncle Zhang walked out of the room, got up and opened the door of the living room entrance, Shen Changan held a plate of washed tomatoes in his hand, "Uncle Zhang, you take this to eat, I have already washed it gone."

"Chang'an, keep these things for yourself and eat them well, don't just take them away as gifts." Uncle Zhang looked at the plate of spiritual fruits exuding strong spiritual energy, resolutely resisting this powerful temptation, with a cold expression on his face Said, "I'll eat something specially given to you by a friend, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

If this mighty man mistakenly thinks that as a cultivator, he cheats on the young good things, not only will he be unlucky, but even the entire sect will be affected.

"Don't think too much, I told my friends that there is a neighbor downstairs who likes to eat this kind of dish, so I asked them to pack more." Shen Changan stuffed the plate into Uncle Zhang's hand, "You can eat it at ease Well, my friend is not such a fussy person."

When he took the plate of spirit fruit, Uncle Zhang's legs were a little weak. So the boss already knew that he ate something from Shen Chang'an?

Anyway, he has already earned a bad reputation. If he doesn't eat for nothing, he can become a ghost with sufficient aura.Uncle Zhang turned around and took a box of Ganoderma lucidum tea plugs from the house to Shen Changan: "Take it, and share it with colleagues."

"Thank you." Shen Changan was used to Uncle Zhang's habit of giving ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, "Then go to bed early, good night."

Uncle Zhang closed the door, returned to the room, and said in the direction of the camera: "The young man who brought me the fruit just now is the meritorious body of the ten lifetimes I mentioned."

"It's worthy of being a meritorious body of ten lifetimes, to be so gentle to an old man with a weird temper like you."

Uncle Zhang frowned, what did you say?

"The voice is also nice, and it looks like he is loved by the heavens." Master Yan Yin said, "I see that he and my Buddha are very predestined, and I will fly over tomorrow."

Another Taoist quickly said: "I think he is also related to my Taoism."

Uncle Zhang: "Don't you all think about it, people don't even believe in ghosts in the world." He recounted the experience of taking Shen Changan to see ghosts last time, and looked at these monks who were eager to snatch people with sarcasm. , "Believe it or not, when you go to ask him to practice, he will give you a few banknotes, and then advise you not to be superstitious, not to come out to deceive people?"

All monks: "..."

"A person with a meritorious body of ten generations, without the protection of a practitioner, it is difficult to live to adulthood. Since he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, how did he grow up to such a big age?" The master who is good at prediction and deduction felt a little strange, "Can there be someone who hides in the world?" Have you been to a place with ghosts?"

"Yes, there are no little ghosts who dare to approach a person full of righteousness, but this kind of person is very rare. There are places with plenty of yang, and ghosts can't get close, for example..."

"A place related to the army?!" Everyone reacted, "He grew up in the military area?"

No wonder he is so patient with Uncle Zhang, a lonely old man, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. If he has lived in this kind of atmosphere since he was a child, it is not surprising at all.

After trying to understand this, everyone's mood became complicated again.It's like watching a master of legal system attack, go to practice physical system attack, and feel that legal system attack does not exist.

After a long silence, a master in the security department coughed dryly: "By the way, I also forgot to say that the plague ghost was also caught by a young man with ten lifetimes of meritorious deeds in Wuming City. If he hadn't If it's unexpected, the little friend Zhang Daoyou mentioned should be the young man who caught the plague ghost."

"There is another very important matter. I want everyone to swear by the law of heaven that I will never let it out, so I can tell you." The master said with a serious expression, "Because this matter is very likely to involve the life and death of my practice world. "

When it came to life and death, rise and fall, honor and disgrace, everyone dared not be sloppy, swore an oath with the law of heaven, and put an enchantment around them before continuing to listen.

"This little friend of the tenth generation of meritorious deeds, I am afraid that he has unintentionally cultivated the ability of golden speech. This ability is not only effective for humans and ghosts, but also for demons." The master said slowly, "In other words, his sincere blessing, It has been recognized by the Dao of Heaven, as long as it is what he said, there is a chance to come true. Since I got the news last night until now, I have been looking up ancient books, and only found a few records, but any ordinary person with this ability, All of them have profound merits and virtues, and their thoughts are pure and kind, but no one can maintain this ability for a lifetime."

"It can be as short as a few months, or as long as nearly ten years. In the end, this ability was taken back by the heavens." The master looked dignified, "But no matter what, he has such profound merits and virtues, which is the blessing of my practice world, even if he I don’t believe in ghosts and gods in this life, I hope fellow Taoists can still take care of him.”

"Don't worry, after this kid lived in this building, all the ghosts in the whole building ran away, and even the earth binding spirit escaped while it was raining." Master Zhang said, "When this kind of person grows up, Luck will get better and better, offending him will only lead to bad luck, nothing good will happen, then maybe who will take care of whom."

All monks: "..."

Although the meaning is so, but if you say it so straightforwardly, don't they monks lose face?

Back at his own home, Shen Changan couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned on the bed, took out his cell phone and wanted to send a message to Dao Nian, but was worried that it would disturb his rest so late, so he put the cell phone back.

"Ah." Lying on the bed with a faint sigh, "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it's hard to go from extravagant to frugal."

I am used to being accompanied, and then I am not used to it when I return to the deserted environment.

In the quiet room, Dao Nian looked at the dark night sky: "Why are there no stars tonight?"

"Maybe it's because the clouds are thicker tonight?" Liu Mao looked at the sky puzzled, when did Mr. pay attention to such trivial things.

Dao Nian stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky, and the dark clouds dispersed in an instant, and twinkling stars hung in the sky, adding a bit of dazzling beauty to the night.

After finishing all this, he lazily leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Through the window, Shen Chang'an accidentally saw the beautiful stars in the night sky. He sat up and put the sheet on his body, crossed his legs and looked out of the window.

The night is so beautiful tonight.

The weather forecast lied to him again, saying that it would rain tonight, and looking at the starry night sky, it didn't look like it was raining.

A shooting star streaked across the sky, Shen Changan took out the small round lamp next to the pillow, shook it in his hand, and the small round lamp lit up.

It seems... the small round lamp that Dao Nian gave him is more beautiful.

After playing with the small round lamp for a while, he finally felt sleepy, and hugged the lamp and retracted under the quilt.The small lamp was bright and dim, and at the moment when Shen Changan fell asleep, it finally went dark.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

The author has something to say: Human: Who said we sent a traitorous concubine to confuse the Lord?The babies don't know, the babies haven't done it, and the babies are wronged.
