Chapter 9: Qi Cultivation (1) ()

On the eighth day of October, it is late autumn, and the weather is clear and refreshing.

The next day, Wang Shoutian was on a ox cart. There were no carriages on the ox cart, but there were floor mats and there were slight partitions on the left and right.

The reason why I ride a ox cart is because the various vassal states are fighting, and horses are all strategic materials. Even if the people are rich, they mostly use ox carts for transportation. Moreover, when they meet Mr. Tian, ​​they are suspected of boasting when using a horse cart.

Of course, the two fang soldiers followed behind were inevitable, and the ox cart was not fast, so they could keep up.

Regarding the incident of the village chief, Wang Shoutian briefly told his mother about the whole story. After hearing this, Lu's mother was worried about the future twists and turns, but she thought that her son is now an eighth-rank official and he has to be close to the general. The other party can't do anything to him. Then she felt relieved. She just repeatedly reminded her not to act so recklessly in the future.

Wang Shoutian knew that his mother was caring for him, so he responded repeatedly, so he left.

At this time, the autumn was clear and the air was clear, walking along a river channel. Although the river was not big, it was clear and clear, and the cool breeze blew, making people intoxicated.

When I arrived at Mr. Tian’s private school, there was only three miles away. The ox cart was slowly moving, and there was not much time before I arrived at the door.

At this time, it was afternoon.

Inside the wooden fence, there are gardens and vegetable gardens. At this time, chrysanthemums are blooming.

In late autumn, dew turns into frost, but chrysanthemums are in various shapes.

When Wang Shoutian swept over, he saw that the chrysanthemums were as big as colorful balls and as small as lamps. The varieties include "hydrangea chrysanthemums", "spindaceae", "golden back and crab claws", and "thousand-head chrysanthemums", which were fragrant, like a scroll.

"Oh, sir, I've seen sir!" Wang Shoutian bowed his hand, but was shocked.

I saw a middle-aged man cutting among flowers in the slightly slanted sunlight in the afternoon.

Wang Shoutian narrowed his eyes and stared at him, and saw a layer of red and golden light on the middle-aged man's body, spreading all over his body. On the top, waves of white air-like water light drooped down.

A qi cultivation man?

Mr. Tian, ​​Shan Mingji, has known this person for decades in his previous life, but he does not know the true face of this person. No wonder this person refuses to formally accept disciples and is only called "Mr."!

By the way, for regular masters and apprentices, they have to kowtow to serve tea, and their spirits are similar. However, private school disciples are equivalent to registering names, and they do not have much constraints on each other, calling each other students and teachers.

"Oh, it turns out to be Shoutian, you're here." Tian Ji got up and looked back, and couldn't help but lit up. He saw Wang Shoutian wearing a silver crown, a linen shirt, and a high-toothed clogs. He behaved calmly and gracefully. He even had a blue look like before, but had a faint crystal light, and he thought he was a young master.

I haven't seen each other in March, my demeanor and eyes have changed a lot, and I have a sense of calmness and majesty, which is indescribable.

"Give me a gift to you, sir." Wang Shoutian said, and ordered his two fangs to bring the gifts over - two pieces of linen cloth, ten bags of rice, and a few dried meat.

Tian Ji smiled, then accepted it, and said, "Let's talk inside."

When he got inside, the guest of honor sat down. A little boy came in to serve tea. After waiting for the gentleman to take a sip, Wang Shoutian said, "Sir, I'm here this time, but I'm asking for your help."

"Oh, let's say anything!" Tian Ji put down the teacup and said, "When I didn't see March, the disciple was so arrogant that he felt a little moved."

"This time I lost first and then won, and I was appointed as the 8th-rank Guoyi Captain, and the eighth-rank Diannong Captain, and I was appointed and removed from the 8th-rank Diannong Commander. The students were really frightened, afraid of missing a big deal. This time I came to visit my husband because he had been teaching for more than ten years and had many disciples. I hope he could introduce him to me and help me." Wang Shoutian said.

This time I went to visit the teacher, and there were two purposes. One was to really want to see him, and the other was to make the three real disciples of Tian Ji.

These three people are Tian Ji's disciples. Unlike him, a "student", they are genuine disciples who have entered the house and have completely different identities.

In his previous life, Wang Shoutian was not able to recruit him. Later, the eldest and second brothers all joined Li Chengye, and they had important positions in various places, one was the chief censor and the other was the prefect, and the ruler was the king of Shu, and made great contributions.

However, if you want to ask these three people out, you will definitely not be able to do it now without Mr. Tian’s help. You originally wanted to get one or two, but now, when you find out that Tian Ji is a cultivator, your heart is already cold.

Sure enough, Wang Shoutian couldn't help but feel disappointed after being beaten for a long time, but he was a little tough and asked again.

"Sir, this time, not only help me, but you also help more than 2,000 refugees. They have been in a long time. If there is no capable person to resettle, if they fall into the hands of the bandits again because of my incompetence, it will definitely become a hidden danger to this county. In this way, not only will they be displaced, but many people will be in trouble because of this, sir..."

When Tian Ji heard this, his eyes that had been squinting suddenly opened, and then stared at Wang Shoutian's face for a while.

Just when Wang Shoutian thought Mr. Tian was going to stare at a flower in his face, Mr. Tian finally spoke: "Shoutian, do you really think so?"

"Yes, sir." Wang Shoutian replied seriously.

"Okay, then I'll help you once." Mr. Tian finally let go.

"Thank you, Mr.

"Don't rush to thank me. Yu Liang is the eldest son of the Yu family. He is about to get married recently. I believe it is impossible to go to your place. Xiao Shaode is weak and can't do anything to wear clothes. He should raise him. He can't go at this time. Only Xue Yuankezhi, are you willing?" Mr. Tian said lightly.

Wang Shoutian was shocked.

Yu Liangbo was involved in classics and history, and was dedicated to studying. He worked day and night, and was slightly tired. Later, he became famous for his writings.

Although Xiao Shaode was weak, he was strong and bold in his nature.

These two people are good ministers, but they are unwilling to introduce them to him, which shows Tian Ji's thoughts.

"Xue Yuan is sincere in learning and meticulous. It is the talent I need. Thank you for your recommendation. The students are grateful." Wang Shoutian thought in his heart, but said with a smile.

Xue Yuan was not famous in his previous life, and most of them were just a minor official. For some reason, he accepted it as a disciple, but it can also be seen that his aura was different. Tian Ji was only willing to introduce this person to him, but he was very clear about his intentions.

"Okay, it's better to choose a day than a day. I'll send a letter to you and ask him to invite him!" Mr. Tian said, and actually stood up, arrived at the desk, and wrote.

"Sir, thank you sir!" Wang Shoutian understood Mr. Tian's meaning, took it respectfully, and said, "Students are eager to seek talent, so let's go first."

"Go!" Tian Ji waved his hand and said.

Wang Shoutian took two steps back, bowed, turned around and left, and went outside the door, and took the letter into his sleeve. He sneered first, then sighed, and got on the ox cart: "Go to the Xue family!"

After a meal, he asked again: "Have you brought the food box?"

"Take it!" said the coachman Lao Xu.

Wang Shoutian nodded, touched the heavy bag of silver beside him, and did not speak.

Sure enough, not far away, there were several thatched huts. It was already dusk. When I arrived at the door, I saw an old woman working hard. Wang Shoutian bowed and said, "Madam!"

The old woman was shocked and said, "Where are you from the little official? Come here?"

"I am Brother Xue's classmate, I am studying in a private school. I'm here to pay my respects." Wang Shoutian bowed deeply again and said.

At this time, the door opened and Xue Yuan had already come out, looking poor. Seeing that it was Wang Shoutian, he said, "So it was Wang Shoutian, come in!"

There was nothing in the thatched cottage, only a cool mat. Wang Shoutian knelt on it and used wooden boards as a table.

Seeing the real person, Wang Shoutian's misty memory finally remembered it.

Xue Yuan looked about thirty years old, but in fact he was only twenty-five years old. When he was seven, his father died. His mother did some needle work to support the whole family. When he was seven, he studied in a private school. When he was ten years old, his mother said, "Son! After your father died, the family had only been out, but he didn't have to go in, and some things were sold. If you really can't afford to support you in school, you might as well herd cattle for the village and get some money."

Xue Yuan is just herding cattle, but when he usually grazed cattle, he still reads books, reads a few old books thoroughly, collects money for several months, buys some old books, or listens to classes when he has time.

This lasted for five or six years, and finally moved Tian Ji and accepted him as his disciple, but his family's background has not improved much.

Looking at Xue Yuan's head was filled with gray air, his face was dark, and his natal energy in the middle was just the white air that the people had. No wonder Tian Ji looked down on him.

But Wang Shoutian pondered in his heart, stood up and bowed solemnly: "I am here today to invite Brother Xue to come out of the mountain to do things!"

Xue Yuan was stunned, helped him up, pondered for a moment, looked around, and said with a wry smile: "Autumn and winter are coming, and I have no clothes for my mother and wife. If you come and treat me, I have to agree."

He didn't even ask anything.

Wang Shoutian knelt down again and said, "Mr. Xue is really poor."

The name has been changed.

He said seriously again: "I have been ordered by the commander and have been appointed as the eighth-rank Diannong Commander. In the military station of Jishui County, there were five hundred households, and there were few civil officials. Mr. Xue had just left without any achievements, so he could only serve as an official in a wronged manner and actually managed the internal affairs of these five hundred households. After the internal affairs were straightened out, I would promote Mr. Xue to a rank official."

Then, he opened a bag, took a silver letter, and said, "Since Mr. Xue promised, I have no respect. I am very proud of my salary. You can watch it. I really can't live in this grass. I will give Mr. Xue three days to follow me in three days according to his family."

Xue Yuan was shocked. He originally agreed that his family was desperate and had done all the work, but he didn't expect that he would recruit other officials and entrust them with important tasks and add more money.

I remembered that I had been wronged by my family before, and I even had no cold clothes in winter and no food to cover my belly. For a moment, when my eyes were hot, I became confused.

Wang Shoutian waved his hand and two fangs took the food box, which was tofu, carp, shredded leeks, and a pot of wine.

Wang Shoutian poured two cups in his guise and raised his glass: "Let me respect Mr. Xue for one cup."

Xue Yuan did not delay, and raised his glass to drink high. The wine flowed down from his lips. He drank it in one mouthful and bowed: "My teacher Xue Yuan, pay homage to the lord!"
