Chapter 82 82: The mountain god returns to his throne, and the scholar rushes for the exam
Chen Jin chose such a strange word for himself, coupled with that poem, it is obvious that he was influenced by the idea of seeking immortality and learning Taoism.
Chen Mingcheng sighed secretly, wondering what this student had gone through to cause such a big change.
Going to take the college entrance exam this time is probably hopeless.
If you write worldly articles with a worldly mind, it would be strange if you can write them well.
Not to mention getting into the eyes of the master of academic administration.
Thinking of this, the old scholar suddenly felt his interest waning. He signed the contract documents for the two of them and went back to his room to rest.
Chen Jin and Chen Liang said goodbye and left knowingly.
On the way, Chen Liang asked about Yunshan Temple. It can be heard that he really wants Chen Jin to help introduce him so that he can visit the temple owner. Maybe, you can also encounter some opportunities.
But Chen Jin knows very well that the so-called "opportunity" is unpredictable for ordinary people.
Especially with the current changes in the situation, Yunshan Temple has attracted the covetousness of the Ghost Spirit Sect. It is uncertain when the next wave of attacks will come.
At this juncture, Chen Jin was unwilling to be an introducer, lest something happen and cause trouble.
Chen Liang and Chen Min are not the same thing.
Chen Jin came to his uncle's house, informed him, left the donkey cart with him, and then returned to his home on the hillside with Wangcai.
Although no one was at home during this period, Chen Abu came to take care of the yard every day, and there was a dog watching the house and yard, so it didn't seem like much had changed.
The vegetables are luxuriant, the fruits are numerous, and the greenery is vast.
Chen Jin reached out and picked a cucumber, rinsed it with water, put it in his mouth and ate it. It was crisp and refreshing, and could relieve the heat.
Soon at night, one person and one dog began to enter the mountain.
As soon as they reached the mountain pass, the old wolf appeared, kowtowed to Chen Jin, and then opened the way ahead.
Compared to Gouzi, Lao Lang has a more stable temperament. After all, he is a mountain god. When it comes to heels, the mountain god is certainly better than the household god.
But in front of Chen Jin, Wangcai was obviously more favored.
Walking through the mountains and forests, we came to the mountain temple in the mountains.
Chen Jin looked up and immediately saw the change.
This small temple used to be in tatters, but now it has been repaired and renovated. Once inside, you can see that everything is neat and tidy.
In addition, on the altar, there are incense burners and other objects, including tributes and incense.
The most important thing is that the mountain god statue has been freshly painted, wearing golden armor, green face and red beard, giving it a somewhat majestic look.
At its feet, there was a wooden wolf statue.
After seeing it, Chen Jin chuckled and praised: "Old Wolf, you are so promising that you can even have someone make a statue of your god again."
"Ouch."
The old wolf was lying on all fours, which meant "it's all thanks to the young master".
Chen Jin smiled and said: "I know you stayed in the mountains and helped a lot of people, so you are interested."
I think back then, this old wolf appeared near the back mountain of Chenze Township and scared many villagers. At one point, manpower was organized to hunt it down and get rid of it.
However, this wolf is so cunning and elusive that it cannot be found at all.
As days passed, people gradually discovered that the wolf had never actively attacked anyone.
Once, a hunter was hunting in the mountains and was knocked down by a wild boar. He was about to be killed when an old wolf suddenly appeared and bit the wild boar to death.
Seeing this, the hunter was not happy at the time, thinking that he would be the next one to be bitten to death.
Unexpectedly, the old wolf only glanced at him and then walked away.
In this way, the hunter not only escaped death, but also got a plump wild boar prey and returned with a bumper harvest.
When he returned to the village, he talked about this incident and kept insisting that the old wolf was not an ordinary wolf, but probably a wolf god.
The theory of "Wolf God" spread like wildfire.
This is not the only incident where the wolf god appears, there are other instances. For example, once, a twelve-year-old boy in the village went up the mountain to collect mushrooms and accidentally fell into a deep pit. He quickly shouted for help.
Unexpectedly, what was called was a wolf.
This time, the young man was frightened.
But what surprised him even more was that the old wolf actually picked up a vine and dropped it.
With no other choice, the young man grabbed the vines and was dragged by the old wolf to rescue him.
After rescuing the man, the old wolf quickly disappeared into the woods.
As these stories spread, they became even more mysterious.
Later, some Orion woodcutter rested in the mountain temple and spent the night. They all had a dream about the golden-armored god. He claims to be the mountain god of this place. Because the temple is dilapidated, he has no choice but to transform into a wolf to help and protect the villagers.
As a result, the people of Chen Zexiang began to raise funds to build and renovate the temple.
This incident happened while Chen Jin was on a study tour. After he came back, he quickly took Chen Min to Yunshan Temple, so he never went to the mountain to see it.
These things were originally what Chen Jin asked Lao Lang to do.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It is the duty of a mountain god to help people instead of harming them.
Otherwise, why would the common people hold you up high? Why should you be allowed to live in a temple and enjoy incense and sacrifices?
Being greedy and taking advantage of others is not the upright way of God.
But evil spirits!
The old wolf has done well, and now he has gained a reputation in the mountains and has a firm foothold.
I believe it won't take long before he can become a mountain god again.
For Lao Lang, Wangcai is not envious. Gouzi is more willing to follow Chen Jin and become a household god. He can eat well and drink hot food, and can run around. He is very free and happy.
……
Time passed by suddenly.
On this day, Chen Jin was going to Genshui County to take the college examination.
Uncle Chen Abu was unable to accompany him because he had to take care of his mother-in-law who was pregnant in Liujia. But he knew that today was different from the past. Chen Jin was already used to being independent and there was no need to worry.
Moreover, when we entered the city this time, we were accompanied by Chen Liang, who also rode his mule cart, so the conditions were good in every aspect.
Chen Abu and his wife went to the entrance of the village and handed Chen Jin a food box full of food: "A Jin, take the exam well, you will definitely pass. We are waiting for your good news at home."
On Chen Liang's side, more people came, large and small, more than a dozen people.
The tutor Chen Mingcheng also came. He no longer had high expectations about whether Chen Jin could pass the exam.
As for Chen Liang, who is over thirty, there is no chance.
The level of poetry, books and articles is here, and it cannot be changed.
However, in a situation like this where teachers and students are together, no matter what, they have to say some auspicious words and encourage them.
After bidding farewell, the mule cart set off.
In the carriage, Chen Jin and Chen Liang sat across from each other.
Chen Liang asked: "Ajin, have you made any bets? If so, can you tell me one or two. I bet on five."
Chen Jin shook his head: "I didn't answer the question."
Chen Liang was stunned: "Are you not nervous at all and didn't make any preparations?"
Chen Jin smiled and said: "For exams, being nervous will not help, it will only increase worries."
Chen Liang: "..."
Although he is older and has passed many exams, he will never be able to be as nonchalant as Chen Jin.
So, is Chen Jin confident?
It's still a broken jar, I don't care at all...
To be honest, Nan Chao was very nervous and concerned about the results after it was released. He just made up the protagonist's calm and gentle mood to comfort himself!
