Land god

After taking a nap, Du Qian stepped out of the Futian, stepped into the mist at the edge of the Futian, thinking of the Earth Temple in his heart, stepped out the next step, and appeared under his own Earth Temple.

Du Qian came out from the floor of the big house, and Zhang Gai was startled immediately.He handed Zhang Gai the cherries transformed from the essence picked from Futian, and said, "I'm going out for a while, you should stay by yourself and don't rush around. If you have anything to do, just knock on the statue and call me , I'll be back."

Zhang Gai agreed honestly, and didn't ask Du Qian what he was going to do, but told him to go early and return early.

Leaving the Temple of Earth, Du Qian fled to Barnyard City dozens of miles away. It was broad daylight at this time. He hid in a place with his back and looked at the sunshine so close. Days of walking freely in the sun.

However, after inheriting the position of the God of Earth, the divine power in Du Qian's body has increased by more than ten times, so he is not as afraid of the sun as before. Now he can even come out during the day, as long as he is not directly exposed to the sun , there will be no feeling of being burned.

Du Qian was observing the surrounding situation, but saw a person suddenly appearing on the ground beside him, but it was a short and thin old man with a cane.

Du Qian was taken aback at first, and then reacted, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "This is the official version of the image of the land god~~~"

"The little old man has met Mr. Tu Bo." The old man saluted Du Qian tremblingly, looking both excited and respectful.

Du Qian asked in amazement: "Hey? The old man should be the God of Earth like me, right? Why do you call me that?"

The old man was taken aback by Du Qian's question, and it took him a long time to react and said: "If the little old man's dirty eyes are not wrong, the lord's divine light is mighty, he should be certified as the God of Earth?"

"Oh, that's right, you can see it." Du Qian said with a smile.

The old man said with a smile: "The little old man has nothing else but a clairvoyance, so I can see it. Since the adult has certified the position of the god of the earth, his status is different from our ordinary gods, so we little When God sees you, he will naturally call you Tubo."

It turned out that this is the respectful title for the land of the god of the earth. Du Qian suddenly realized, and then said to the old man: "The old man must be the land of this place, right? Can you tell me where the schools in the city are located?"

The old man was curious about Du Qian's strange question, but he didn't ask him why he wanted to find a school. He just thought for a while and said, "Returning to Mr. Tu Bo, the little old man's name is Yu Shouzhong, and he belongs to the land of this city. There is a school in this city." Twelve rooms, if adults want to take a look, the little old man can lead the way."

"Okay, then there will be Mr. Lao." Du Qian nodded with a smile, and fled into Barnyard City together with the old man Yu Shouzhong.Ever since he confirmed that he became illiterate in Futian, he decided to study it quickly, at least he couldn't even understand the cultivation methods.

Under the leadership of Yu Shouzhong, the Landlord of Barnyard City, Du Qian saw the twelve schools here, and eliminated three schools with chaotic discipline and four teachers who were too old, too slow and confused, and the remaining five schools were not bad. , he decided to learn from these five schools.

Thinking of Yu Shouzhong, who is from the land of Barnyard City, and he must be able to learn to read in the school here, he must not be able to hide it from him, so Du Qian directly stated his purpose.

Hearing that Du Qian was illiterate, Yu Shouzhong was not surprised. He said with a smile: "Many advanced cultivation methods are taught with the mind, so it is not surprising that practitioners are illiterate. It is also very important for adults to study hard." Okay, but since we have come to Barnyard City, it is natural for the little old man to entertain us, the earth temple in this city is quite spacious, so the little old man can sweep out a few quiet rooms for adults to rest, okay?"

After thinking for a while, Du Qian agreed, and followed the barnyard city land to his temple.

I saw this Temple of the Earth God in Barnyard City at the end of a clean alley in the east of the city. It is five feet high, with a wall made of green bricks and red glazed tiles on the top. There are two statues of painted pottery gods in the temple. They are the land father-in-law and the land mother-in-law respectively.The wooden box in front of him was full of incense sticks, some had just been burned out, and some were still smoking, which showed that the incense was strong.

Du Qian couldn't help sighing, it's really different from the gods, look at this temple, how popular it is!

Stepping into the temple, there is a house with three entrances surrounded by smoke. The courtyard in front is the main hall. There is a rugged rockery in the middle of the courtyard, dotted with flowers and plants. It is the place to receive guests, but Yu Shouzhong But he directly led Du Qian through the main room and came to the second courtyard, where he saw a pool of clear water, with purple water lilies growing on it, and koi carps of various colors in the water.

Yu Shouzhong was leading Du Qian to appreciate the scenery here when he saw a little girl in a lotus-colored dress coming out of the side room with a basin in her hand. He immediately said to the girl, "Hurry up and get your wife Call me, and tell me that Lord Tubodu is coming, and let her set up wine and food to welcome you!"

The little girl saluted with her head bowed, and ran away in a short step. After a while, she saw a white and fat old woman with silver hair also walking out with a cane, and said to Du Qian with a smile: "I don't know Tu Bo Your Excellency is here, but I am too far away to welcome you, and I have neglected your Excellency."

Du Qian quickly smiled and said, "Where is the old lady, I came here rashly and disturbed you."

The three of them humbly entered a large room, and saw that the inside was filled with light fragrance, surrounded by bead curtains, overlapping treasure screens, and the setting was very delicate. On a big red sandalwood table, various delicacies were placed, and four maids stood quietly by the side to serve them. .

The dishes on the table are very delicious, and they are all transformed by the essence of the food. According to Yu Shouzhong, the essence is taken from several famous restaurants in the city-the restaurants use dishes to worship the God of Wealth, the land and other gods every day .

After talking for a while, Du Qian learned that Yu Shouzhong was the richest man in Barnyard City a hundred years ago, and his family had ten thousand hectares of fertile land. There was a famine year, he opened his own granary to help the victims, but robbers sneaked into the mansion, not only robbed all the money, but also set fire to the whole family.

Because of his merits and virtues during his lifetime, Yu Shouzhong was granted the land of Barnyard City after his death, and he and his family were able to live in the temple of the earth, which is more blessed than when he was a mortal.

After eating, Du Qian went to the residence that the old lady had cleaned in advance to rest for a while, then left the Earth Temple and went to the nearest school.

This school is the largest school in the whole of Barnyard City. It is located in the depths of a bamboo garden. There are 60 or [-] students in it. When fifty or sixty children were studying inside, there were hundreds of servants in all kinds of servant clothes waiting outside the bamboo garden. It was as lively as a market.

Du Qian escaped into the bamboo forest, and saw a group of students of different ages studying in a bamboo house not far away, so another earth escape appeared directly in the school.

At this time, he has gradually adapted to the things that ordinary people can't see him, and he can boldly appear in front of others.At this time, it was a young man in aqua-blue clothes standing up and reciting a poem from a book. He walked over and stood behind the man, looking at the words in the book, and in his heart he corresponded to the voice read by the young man. After a poem, I also know dozens of characters.Then the old Juren standing in front of the desk began to explain the meaning, word by word, although it seemed a bit rigid, but it was the first time for Du Qian to hear the ancient lectures, he still listened with interest for a while.

After the old man finished explaining, the students began to recite aloud. Du Qian saw that what they were reading was still the same poem just now, and there was nothing new in it, so he made a Tudun to leave this place and rushed to the next school .

This school is a small school, with five students in it, and a young scholar who teaches.

This scholar is young, has a quick temper, and is relatively fast when explaining poems and prose. I can read some poems and essays I like, and write them out for everyone to watch, making a group of half-sized dolls who don't know a few words clouded.

After staying here for a while, Du Qian recognized hundreds of unfamiliar characters, all of which were recorded in his mind.

"Hey, if I had such a memory when I was in school, how much effort would it save~~~" Seeing that the students in this school also started to recite, Du Qian sighed and went to the next one.

It is impossible for the five schools to recite at the same time. There are always a few of them explaining the characters. Du Qian just changed places to study. After one day, he knew more than 300 ancient prose. After returning to the Earth Temple, he Just in my own room, I used Mao notes on the paper, and added annotations in simplified Chinese characters, which can be regarded as deepening the memory.

Because it was in someone else's temple, Du Qian couldn't practice the Xuanhuang Gongde Tianxin Mantra, so he took out the Feiyun handkerchief to practice.

This Feiyun handkerchief is a flying magic weapon, and it is easy to sacrifice and practice. You just need to use divine power to completely corrode it. A golden light emerged from Du Qian's hand, wrapping the Feiyun handkerchief, and the golden light flew towards it. Drilled into the cloud handkerchief, after a while, most of the Feiyun handkerchief was dyed with golden light, and only half an hour later, this magic weapon was preliminarily sacrificed.

I saw that the golden light on the Feiyun handkerchief gradually subsided and returned to the appearance of a piece of silk again. Du Qian threw it into the empty space of the room, and the silk handkerchief turned into a light yellow cloud in the empty space, like cotton The same fluffy, as big as a round table.

Du Qian tried to stand on the cloud group, but the cloud group was difficult to control, often when he stood up, the divine power in the cloud group would be scattered for a while, and he would be thrown off in a flash.Fortunately, the spirit body is not afraid of falling. After dozens of attempts, Du Qian gradually grasped the essentials.
