Chapter 344 Zhang Chen's allusions【Ask for a monthly ticket! 】
The two walked out of Qingyunfang, came to the street, and walked another street before taking off their robes.
I was looking for an inn to settle down first, when I heard the noise of the crowd over there, a large number of people rushed to the side, and many people shouted: "Go and see!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"Ahhh!"
"..."
The two were curious, so they found an old man selling melons at a roadside stall and asked, "Boss, what happened?"
The old man selling melons said with a smile: "Hey, I heard that the chief Zhang Chen from Shenglong Academy is here, and they all want to go and have a look at him."
"Zhang Chen?" Chu Liang looked over there in a blink of an eye, and the place where people gathered was getting bigger and bigger. "I didn't expect him to be so popular."
In fact, this is the limitation of Xianmen disciples.
In the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands or the entire world of cultivating immortals, Zhang Chen's reputation naturally cannot be compared with those few top-ranking talents. But among the common people of the Yu Dynasty, Zhang Chen had a very broad mass base.
This is because the foundation of Shenglong Academy is in the folk, backed by the Yu Dynasty, and recruiting students widely. The best scholars in the world can try to enter the academy. Many outstanding disciples from the academy will serve as officials to repay the common people.
Those fairies and arrogance are still very far away to the common people after all, but the students of Shenglong Academy may be related to their future well-being, so they naturally pay more attention.
As for Zhang Chen, he is the most popular among the Chinese Academy chiefs in recent generations.
"Hey, of course." Hearing Chu Liang's words, the old melon seller said immediately: "Zhang Chen is talented and kind-hearted. Everyone is looking forward to him entering the court to benefit us in the future. If I don't I can’t leave this stall, so I want to go and have a look.”
"Oh."
Looking at the appearance of the two, the old melon seller was a little puzzled: "Haven't you heard his story?"
"His story?" Chu Liang and Yun Chaoxian were both curious.
"Do you know 'Looking for Sheep on a Dirt Road'?" The old man who sells melons immediately said in a storytelling manner: "This is the chief minister. One day, he learned that an old man's sheep was lost. The old man was very sad. , he walked through a muddy road to find the sheep for the old man, even if his feet were covered with mud, he didn't care."
"Also, do you know 'Plain Clothes for the Rain'?" The old man selling melons continued, "That is to say, one rainy day, Zhang Chen saw an old lady walking in the rain outside, so he took off his coat. Cover the rain for my aunt, and walk in the rain in plain clothes."
Chu Liang nodded slightly as he listened.
In this way, the chief of the academy is really a noble, moral person who has escaped vulgar interests.
Yun Chaoxian said with a smile: "Let him be so popular, now it's all right, so many people are going to surround him, he will definitely not be able to do anything."
"So..." Chu Liang also smiled and said, "The news that he came to Donghuai City must not be released by himself."
…
Zhang Chen sat on a chair in the inn, rubbing his forehead lightly, with a helpless smile on his face.
He just spent a lot of time talking to the enthusiastic people outside, and let a group of people go home safely. But there are still batches of Donghuai City people who like him coming here continuously. If he appeases them all, then he won't have to do anything else these days.
"The news that I came to Donghuai City must have been spread by someone with a heart, just to delay our steps." Zhang Chen shook his head, "It's probably the idea of a few of your fellow... helpers."
"Then what should we do?" Ren Hongdao asked while sitting aside.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular." Hearing the noise outside, Ren Hongdao was also a little surprised.
"Well, it's all just a false name." Zhang Chen smiled wryly, "The academy also intends to create a personality for me, and it is inevitable that I will be tired of the name."
"Then are all your things fake?" Ren Hongdao asked.
"It's not necessarily fake, it's just an exaggeration." Zhang Chen said.
"The story about helping the old man find sheep, isn't it true?" Ren Hongdao asked.
"Of course it's true, but..." Zhang Chen said: "The old man is the dean of our academy, and the sheep is his spiritual pet. It strayed into a swamp in the back mountain, so we had no choice but to help him find it. I'm very reluctant, but it's the dean's spiritual pet, and there's nothing I can do if I don't look for it. When the news spreads from the academy, it will become a muddy road to find sheep."
"Huh?" Ren Hongdao blinked, "Then you took off your clothes to help the aunt avoid the rain..."
"This is also true, but that aunt is our dean's wife." Zhang Chen said: "Our dean secretly went to the brothel to socialize with others. After the dean's wife found out, she stood in the rain and waited. She said that the dean would not come back. Here. As disciples, how dare we say anything, I can only cover the dean's wife with my clothes, and then report to the dean."
"The dean's wife didn't get caught in the rain much, because the dean received the news and rushed back after a while. He was the one who knelt in the rain for most of the night in the courtyard. The dean's wife had already gone back to the back room to sleep."
"When this matter got out from the academy, it turned into plain clothes and rain." Zhang Chen laughed.
"I see." Ren Hongdao nodded.
It seems that the rumors really cannot be trusted, even if they are true, they may not be completely true. As long as a part of it is enlarged and part of it is hidden, the truth can become another look entirely.
…
"Is it not good for us to do this?"
Li Fujian looked at Zhuge Guanxing and asked with some concern.
"We leaked Zhang Chen's location, but we only slowed down their steps." Zhuge Guanxing said, "It didn't hurt them, so what's wrong?"
"That's what you said..." Li Fujian scratched his head, "It's just that I still have a lot of respect for Senior Brother."
"There are no big or small competitions, and there are rules after the competition. Since we are in the same trial, we must go all out to win." Zhuge Guanxing smiled, "Your elder brother is the strongest, and Zhang Chen may also be the most intelligent. Their pair The combination is too strong, how can we win without some calculations?"
"That's true." Li Fujian replied, "Then can we find Li Feiyu's location?"
Although Donghuai City was previously locked, it is difficult to find the exact location, even divination is not a panacea.
"Wait a moment."
Zhuge Guanxing took a deep breath, held the decision with his left hand, and threw the three black gold and copper coins in the air with his right hand, then dropped them again, then threw them again, and dropped them again... several times.
Then lightly opened his eyes and said, "Fire."
"Fire?" Li Fujian was puzzled.
"The hexagram symbolizes fire, and those who want to look for it tonight will appear in places related to fire."
Good morning.
This month, the insomnia has been particularly severe. Several times I stayed up all night, which was very painful. I took some conditioning medicine a few days ago, but now I feel groggy during the day and can't wake up at night. The updates in the past two days are late and few, and I am also very embarrassed.
Tomorrow, I will be posting on Dafengtui. I will try to take advantage of the recommendation to update more in the past few days. Thank you for your tolerance.
