I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chapter 142 The Fear of Total Crushing

The ruined temple is really broken, with ruined walls and luxuriant grass. It has a sense of history at first glance.Standing outside, it is absolutely impossible to think that there are still people living in such a dilapidated place.In fact, it is not only inhabited by people, but also inhabited by a large family.

When Ji Zihe and the others first arrived at the ruined temple, an old man with white hair greeted them.

"Uncle, we are here." Huang Jiulang greeted the old man excitedly.

Old man Xin had a warm smile on his face, "I've been waiting for you to come. This is Lord Chenghuang, right? The old man Xin Erhe pays homage to Lord City God."

As he said that, old man Xin was about to salute Ji Zihe, and Ji Zihe hurriedly supported him, "You don't need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang. Please come in, Mr. Chenghuang, have a cup of tea and have a rest. My wife is planning a dinner."

"Excuse me." Ji Zihe smiled, and followed him to the main hall of the ruined temple.Unexpectedly, this place is quite different from the previous ones. There are no dilapidated houses, only a simple mansion.A group of children and teenagers of different ages are playing in the courtyard, full of life.

Seeing this, old man Xin put on a straight face, "The distinguished guests are coming and chattering so unbecomingly, why don't you all go back to the house quickly."

Although he pretended to be fierce, the children were not that afraid of him.Although he entered the house obediently, he secretly made faces at him behind his back.

The old man Xin said to Ji Zihe with some embarrassment, "I made the distinguished guest laugh, please come this way."

"Where, there are so many innocent children around her knees, the old man is really blessed."

"Haha, those are not only my children, but also my grandchildren's children. We are a prosperous family, so there will inevitably be more children. It is impossible to get together and make a fuss."

"It's more lively."

"Yeah, it's so lively." Old man Xin led Ji Zihe into the house, and a slim girl came in to serve tea for them.After serving tea, he shyly ran into the back room, and listened to the corner with a group of girls in the room.

"The country girl doesn't know the rules, and you're laughing at me again. That's my No. 13 girl, the thirteenth mother." Old man Xin laughed.

Ji Zihe nodded, this is the bride who is about to get married.The monsters are not restricted by the rules of the human race, if not for this, they would not dare to listen to the corner so boldly.

"Miss Thirteen is very good." Ji Zihe praised.

"I'm still a child at heart. I didn't expect to get married so soon." Old man Xin felt a little melancholy, "I have nineteen daughters in total. After the family was killed, they lived here for less than a hundred years, and they have already married for ten years. There are two of them, and now No. 13 is about to get married, thinking about it, time really flies."

"This is a happy event for the old man, why should you be so sad?"

"Yes, good thing, good thing, the old man really shouldn't be sad." Old man Xin laughed.

Then, the two discussed about Thirteen Niang's wedding.After a while, there was another commotion outside.

"Father and mother, the fourteenth sister is back."

"Great, Miss Fourteen is back."

……

While listening, a girl in a red cloak came in, saluted old man Xin, and said softly, "Greetings, Daddy, the child is back."

Old man Xin stood up early, and helped the girl up with a smile, "It's good to come back, did you encounter anything on the way?"

"It's all small things, not worth mentioning, and it makes Dad worry."

"It's good to be safe. Come on, come and meet Lord Chenghuang." Old man Xin took Xin Shishiniang and introduced to Ji Zihe, "Master Chenghuang, this is my fourteenth daughter. She has been practicing outside on weekdays. The second time I came here specially to attend Thirteen Niang's wedding."

Unlike talking about other children, when Old Man Xin talked about Xin Shishiniang, his face was full of pride, and it was easy for people to see his attitude towards Xin Shishiniang.

"I've met Lord Chenghuang." Xin Shishiniang saluted Ji Zihe slightly.

Ji Zihe nodded, a little puzzled, "Miss Xin, have we met somewhere?"

Old man Xin's heart suddenly rose, this kind of old-fashioned way of striking up a conversation, the Lord Chenghuang must have taken a fancy to Fourteen Niang.Although Master Chenghuang is also a god, marrying him is considered a high-profile, but his family's Xiaosi has been obsessed with cultivation all these years, and never cares about these men and women, maybe he really looks down on him.Xiao Shisi has such a straightforward temper, if he offends the city god, what will happen to Xiao Shisan's marriage, do they have to move?

Facts have proved that this is really old man Xin thinking too much.Ji Zihe really thought that Xin Shishiniang looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen her.

Hearing Ji Zihe's question, Xin Shishiniang finally looked up at Ji Zihe, and suddenly realized, "So it's you. I met you when I was a guest at Lu Gong's house in Zhaoyuan County many years ago."

When she said this, Ji Zihe remembered that he was invited by Duke Lu to remove the demon after the college entrance examination, and met Xin Shisiniang at Duke Lu's house.It's been so long, he has grown from a child to such a big man, she didn't expect that she could still recognize him.

"Little Fourteen, do you really know Lord Chenghuang?" Old man Xin said in surprise.

"It's just a one-time relationship."

Old man Xin put his heart back into his stomach, it turned out that it wasn't the Lord Chenghuang who fell in love with his daughter and frightened him.Old man Xin heaved a sigh of relief, and drove away the messy thoughts in his head.

"That's really fate."

"By the way, Dad, when I was about to get home, a scholar saw me and followed me to the temple. Can you come forward and send him away?"

"Scholar? Let me go and have a look." Old man Xin said as he was about to go out. Xiao Shisi accidentally let a human discover their house. It would be bad if that human was a Taoist priest who caught monsters.This matter still has to be handled properly, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Just as old man Xin was about to leave, he remembered something again, and apologized to Ji Zihe, "Master Chenghuang, I need to go out to deal with some things, please forgive me."

"It's okay, old man, let's go."

"Uncle Biao, don't worry, I'm still here, just go." Huang Jiulang said.

Old man Xin saluted Ji Zihe and went out.Xin Shishiniang is a female relative, and she didn't stay to entertain the guests, but went into the back room to catch up with the little sisters.

Before Ji Zihe finished his cup of tea, old man Xin led a scholar in who smelled of alcohol.Ji Zihe was a little surprised, he thought Old Man Xin would just drive him away.

After chatting for a few words, Ji Zihe roughly figured out his origin.The scholar's surname is Feng, his name is Yunlin, he is a pure and pure human being.Ji Zihe felt that this person followed another girl home, and such behavior should not be done by a gentleman.He smelled of alcohol again, and felt a little displeased.But old man Xin didn't seem to care.

Their foxes are born with impure six sense organs, and there are really not many who can become immortals.Most of the foxes got married early and had babies, but little Fourteen had no intention of getting married at all, and was obsessed with cultivating immortals all day long.

It would be fine if Xiao Shisi had good aptitude, but he had taken Xiao Shisi to the Xianmen to seek a teacher before, and they disliked her poor aptitude and refused to accept her.But Xiao Shisi did not give up, even without a master, she still worked hard as a casual practitioner.There is not much difference in age between Xiao Shisan and Xiao Shisi, but one is about to get married, and the other is still single. The father is anxious to see her, for fear that her daughter will die alone.

It would be a lie to say how much old man Xin hopes to find a human son-in-law.But there is no way, the old lady of the other Yaozu family also introduced a lot to Xiao Shishi, but Xiao Shishi didn't even look straight at him.However, she was able to recognize at a glance the City God who was once a human race.Old man Xin is also in a hurry to go to the doctor. Maybe his daughter has taken a fancy to humans. Don’t people like to write stories about humans and demons in the scriptures? Why don’t you try?

Feng Yunlin chatted with them a few words, he drank wine during the day, and now he is still a little tipsy.Seeing that the foreshadowing was ready, he took advantage of the strength of the wine and said abruptly, "Old man, I heard that you have a daughter who is not yet married. The boy is bold and wants to propose a bride price. I wonder what you want?"

The monsters always spoke directly when they met each other, and Old Man Xin didn't think there was anything wrong with it.But now when he talked about his daughter's marriage, he felt a little guilty.

When he just invited someone in, he was only thinking of finding a lover for his daughter.When he calmed down now, he really wanted to slap himself. What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him just now, what would be the result of a monster being with a human being.

Fortunately, the old man Xin woke up early and fortunately did not cause any serious disaster, so he politely refused, "My daughter's marriage is in the hands of my wife. I still need to discuss it with her."

When Feng Yunlin heard this, he gave Ji Zihe a bad look.Ji Zihe is a little innocent, is he being regarded as a rival in love?

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Feng Yunlin asked for a pen and paper to compose a poem on the spot, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.This eagerness to show off his talents is like a peacock that only opens its tail.

Old man Xin looked at him and felt that this person was not stable. Even if Xiao Shishi wanted to find a human race as a husband, he couldn't find such a person, so he thought about how to drive him away.He turned his eyes and saw Huang Jiulang, and an idea came to his mind.He stretched out his hand to call Huang Jiulang over, whispered a few words in his ear, and asked him to send the poem into the back room.Not long after, Huang Jiulang came out and whispered something in old man Xin's ear.Old man Xin showed a knowing smile, and continued to chat with them, but did not mention marriage.

The more Feng Yunlin looked at Ji Zihe, the more he felt that this love rival had an extraordinary temperament and was better dressed than himself, so he became a little anxious, and asked old man Xin, "I don't know what you mean yet, please tell me clearly."

"The daughter's marriage is the responsibility of their mother, and the old man does not participate." Old man Xin looked detached from the outside world.

Feng Yunlin knew that he had been rejected, but he still didn't give up, "Old man, you may have made a mistake. The girl I am seeking is not the same as this young master. I want to marry the girl in the cloak just now." A girl in a red cloak, leading a maid on her way."

Ji Zihe: "..."

What is this called, you have to take the blame while sitting?

Old man Xin also knew that Feng Yunlin had misunderstood, but he didn't dare to explain, the face of Master Chenghuang turned black.

Fearing that the air would be suddenly quiet, Feng Yunlin's face collapsed, well, he understood, this one must have come to marry that girl as well.

In terms of appearance, this little white face is very handsome, he can't compare it.In terms of financial resources, the clothes this little boy wears are of such good material, he must not be short of money.In terms of bearing, he is a drunkard, and he is a handsome young man, which cannot be compared.In terms of talent, he wrote a poem just now, and no one applauded it, and he probably couldn't compare to it...

With such a comparison, Feng Yunlin immediately felt ashamed and uneasy.The voices of the girls came from inside, and the one he liked must be among them, but Feng Yunlin didn't even have the thought of taking a look.He's thinking about leaving this place right now, it's just too embarrassing.
