Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

24 guan, that is, 400 taels of red gold.

That is to say, Chen Qi didn't spend too much money on food and expenses this month, or the money from selling Daru copybooks last time was really not enough.

Even if he could spend so much money now, it would have emptied his family and let him return to before liberation.

In addition, since I bought the house, do I still need to buy some property, and hire two maids and servants to serve the little cook or something.

These are all asking for money!

Thinking of this, Chen Qi couldn't help feeling distressed, then raised his head and asked Chen An: "By the way, is there any news about the matter I asked you to pay attention to, young master?"

When Chen An heard his young master's inquiry, although he was a little confused about what Chen Qi explained, he followed his orders and did not slack off. I went around, but I didn't find the fortune teller that the young master said."

Well, the task Chen Qi gave Chen An was to go to the gates of Chang'an City every day to see if that guy Yuan Shoucheng showed up.

Although this method of sitting on the fence and waiting for rabbits is a bit stupid, it is also the most effective, at least it will not be counted by Yuan Shoucheng.

After all, that guy is the uncle of Mr. Yuan Tiangang, Mr. Taizheng, Qin Tianjian. It is hard to say how much real ability he has, but he is definitely not a simple person, otherwise he would not hang up the signboard of "knowing yin and yang, breaking life and death".

If Chen Qi wants to take the food from the tiger's mouth, he must be careful not to be discovered by him in advance, otherwise it will be hard to say who will scheme.

Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang!

It sounds like a big family, Chen Qi is alone and weak, so it's better to be careful.

Of course, it is not so easy for Chen Qi to grab food from the tiger's mouth.

How to do it specifically, you can only make a decision after meeting the Dragon King of Jinghe.

If the Dragon King of Jinghe can still be saved, he will take action to solve the knot of the Dragon King of Jinghe and become friends with the Dragon King.

It is said that the Dragon King is a local tyrant, and I saved your life, so why don't you express it?

No one with tens of thousands of taels of pure gold and one hundred and eighty pieces of Dragon Palace treasures can be worthy of your title of dragon and local tyrant?

Of course, if this Dragon King of Jinghe is like Liu Hong, he is the kind of deadlock with no solution, and he can't be rescued no matter what.

Chen Qi chose to help Jinghe Dragon King when his head was caught by the door.

At that time, the strategy must be changed appropriately.

Even if you don't go to Yuan Shoucheng for a showdown and cooperate to share the pie, let's plot against the Dragon King of Jinghe together.

We should also make a good plan, wait for Wei Zheng to slay the dragon, and go to collect a corpse for the Dragon King of Jinghe or something.

Well, then I will go around the Jinghe Dragon Palace and borrow some precious money to support my family and barely make ends meet.

Thinking of this, Chen Qi felt that it was necessary for him to make friends with the Dragon King of Jinghe in advance, so that he could not only make a decision as soon as possible, but also have a good excuse when he went to collect the corpse of the Dragon King.

"Why don't you go to the Jingshui River outside the city recently and have a chance encounter with the old Dragon King?"

The more Chen Qi thought about it, the more he felt that this could be possible. He couldn't wait for Jinghe Dragon King to die before making friends with others.

In that case, after the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe, the first person to look for was not Li Shimin, but his "good friend".

So Chen Qi thought about it seriously for a few seconds, and soon made a decision in his heart. He decided to calculate the time, and then go to have a fateful encounter with the old dragon king in the Jingshui River.

Hey, in fact, he doesn't want to do this either, but living in Chang'an is not easy!

If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to get his votes, he, Chen, would probably eat pickles in the future, and starve to death due to lack of food and rice.

This is all forced by life, forced by life.

Everyone understand each other, understand.

Anyway, Chen Qi felt that when that day really came, no matter what he chose, his "good friend" Jinghe Dragon King would understand him.

Well, it should be understandable! .

Chapter 54

The 13th year of Zhenguan, June [-]th, is suitable for traveling.

Dragon King travels, there is rain at noon, and the rain is in Nanshan!

Chen Qi, who has made up his mind to be friends with the Dragon King, does daily divination and divination every day, just to have a fateful "coincidence" with the Dragon King of Jinghe!

After several days, Chen Qi finally divined the whereabouts of the Dragon King of Jinghe, located in Xiaonan Mountain outside Chang'an City.

"Chen An, prepare your pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Today, my lord, I'm going to Xiaonan Mountain to enjoy the rain!"

Chen Qi put down the three Kaiyuan Tongbao in his hand, smiled slightly, and instructed the little bookboy Chen An beside him.

"Okay, young master!"

Chen An looked at the sky outside the window strangely, but he didn't realize that it was going to rain.

However, since his master had ordered him to go to Xiaonan Mountain outside the city to enjoy the rain, then as a servant, he naturally obeyed the arrangement.

Let alone enjoying the rain, even if it means enjoying the snow.

He also has to be obedient and obey the arrangement.

Chen Qi ordered, and stopped paying attention, thinking about how to seduce, no, how to attract the attention of Jinghe Dragon King.

The Jinghe Dragon King is the top deity in the human world, and he is also the righteous god of the human world conferred by the heaven.

Not to mention how many years he has lived, and his descendants are innumerable, but his status as the fifth-rank Jinghe water god alone is enough to make the other party look down on the entire human world, not just any small shrimp can attract the other party's attention.

If you think about it, you will know that if the Dragon King of Jinghe is really so good-looking, Yuan Shoucheng would also use a special trick to plot against his son and grandson.

Of course, that old dragon is also an idiot. After living for so long, he only has a beard but no brain.

Bet with a Taoist monk, and bet on how cloudy or sunny the sky will be, when will it rain, and how big is the rain?

How stupid is this dragon to think of such a bet?

Do you really think that you are the Dragon King and you can decide whether it rains in the sky or on the ground?

Don't you know that there is another kind of person who is a related household called the Second Generation of Immortals?

Someone burns a praying talisman to the sky, and sends it to the Thunder God and Lightning Mother Fengshen Rain Master, and the heavenly court will issue it.

You are an old dragon in the world, but you are just a five-rank Jinghe water god and rain dragon god in the heaven. How can you compare with the rain master in the heaven?

Heaven’s rain order comes down, do you say you obey it, or do you not obey it?

If you abide by it, you will lose the game, not only lose face, but also protect the sons and grandsons of the dragon.

If you don't abide by it, then you are in the hands of others, just wait for the Heavenly Court Rain Master to give you a memorandum, and you will be taken down for questioning, and life and death are beyond your control.

Therefore, there is no need to doubt that the bet between the Dragon King of Jinghe and Yuan Shoucheng was bound to lose from the very beginning, and it was impossible to win.

It's not that Yuan Shoucheng's divination skills are really that good, but that he has a backer, and it's that stupid dragon who cheated him.

Of course, the situation of the Dragon King of Jinghe is not unsolvable, even in Chen Qi's view, it is very simple to solve the dilemma of the Dragon King of Jinghe.

The only thing that makes him unsure is that the Dragon King of Jinghe in the opening plot of Journey to the West is a dead dragon that must die and must be used as a sacrifice to the sky.

It is still a dispensable, unlucky person who can be saved.

After all, it is difficult to put Tang Wang Li Shimin into the underworld in shock, but it is also very simple to say, it depends on how the people behind the scenes want to choose.

And all of this, after seeing the Jinghe Dragon King, will naturally become clear.

......

Xiaonan Mountain is located in the south of the Jinghe River outside Chang'an City. It is just a small mountain and not well-known.

But it is undeniable that the scenery of Xiaonan Mountain is good, which is very suitable for the boys and girls in Chang'an City to have a spring outing.

There is also a gazebo on the top of Xiaonan Mountain, where visitors can rest and settle down. Stone benches and tables are all available.

Chang'an City in June is obviously not a good time for an outing.

The scorching sun in the sky, not to mention the gifted scholars and beauties in Chang'an city, even woodcutters and fishermen, would not want to go out.

So at this moment, there are only two masters and servants, Chen Qi, in the gazebo on the top of Xiaonan Mountain.

"Is it really going to rain this day?"

After laying out the rice paper and grinding the inkstone, Chen An wiped the sweat off his face, then looked up at the sun as big as a wheel in the sky, expressing great doubts about his young master's decision in his heart.

Of course, Chen Qi didn't know what was going on in his own book boy's mind.

Moreover, as a martial artist at the late seventh rank of martial arts, a Qi trainer at the late eighth rank, and a Confucianist at the late third rank of Confucianism and Taoism.

Although it is still not possible to prevent the cold and heat from invading, he still does not take it to heart when it is too hot.

At this time, it was the end of Sishi, and it was very close to noon.

Chen Qi stood in the gazebo, picked up the Langhao brush, looked at the white rice paper spread on the stone table, thought for a while, then dipped the Langhao brush on the inkstone twice, and wrote three words on the rice paper: shabby room Ming!

"Whether the mountain is high or not, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be spirit if there are dragons."

With only two sixteen characters, a majestic spiritual idea jumped out of the rice paper, as if there were undulating mountains and rivers, surging rivers, immortals coming to the world, and the sound of dragons and tigers manifesting from the top of Xiaonan Mountain.

I don't know when, there is a cool breeze blowing away, blowing away the dull heat and bringing coolness to people.

In the distance, dark clouds came from the south with the breeze, covering the scorching sun high above.

Let Chen An, who was standing behind Chen Qi, raise his head involuntarily, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Could it really be raining today?"

Chen An looked at Chen Qi who was indulging in creation (plagiarism) with some suspicion in his heart. He only felt that his young master had really changed a lot in the recent period.

Not only is it better for them, it's also more mysterious.

Just like today, if Chen Qi hadn't opened his mouth, he would never have believed that it would rain anyway.

Just as Chen An was guessing wildly, the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

From the very beginning, it brought people a cool breeze, which gradually grew bigger, and finally turned into a strong wind, which made people unable to open their eyes.

Then there was another thunderbolt exploding in the sky, and the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, as if the whole world was gloomy, and the night was covered in advance.

Such a change is almost completed in a moment.

This made Chen An, who just came back to his senses, anxious, raised his footsteps, and wanted to walk quickly to the stone table, and put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had just been laid.

However, when he saw Chen Qi in front of him who was still unhurried and writing calmly, he froze for an instant.

Because the scene in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined.
