Chapter 297 Three scholars


    Shoutian County, Guhuai Town, abandoned temples.


    In southern Jizhou, heavy rains were pouring, and the green grass had already been wet into mud by the rain. The green leaves stood vertically in the rain, and were washed away by the rain and were lifeless.


    The sky was dark, making people breathless, as if darkness would be shrouded in at any time.


    The scholar looked hurried, with a straw raincoat, a book wrapped in cloth in his arms, running wildly in the torrential rain.


    When he saw the abandoned temple not far away, his eyes lit up, he hugged the book in his arms, accelerated his pace, and ran over quickly.


    Huhu-


    The scholar was exhausted and panting, and closed the doors and windows. Although the temple was dilapidated, it was not leaking. This was a blessing in disgrace.


    He opened the package and checked whether the book was wet. Perhaps it was because of the good protection, but the book was still dry.


    The scholar lit the oil lamp and read it softly with the help of the dim oil lamp.


    A beautiful figure suddenly appeared behind the scholar. The beautiful figure patted the scholar on the back with a seductive smile on the corner of his mouth.


    When the scholar saw the appearance of a beautiful figure, he couldn''t help laughing as if he was fascinated.


    After the heavy rain, the tired scholar left the abandoned temple.


    …


    Three figures dressed in scholars walked in the muddy ground, one foot deep and one foot shallow, quite embarrassed.


    "Why is this difficult road?" One of the scholar figures complained.


    Another figure rolled his eyes: "Play it, don''t be unsatisfied. Isn''t this much better condition than when I was in the dense forest?"


    “That’s right.”


    The third figure explained: "I heard that it was a heavy rain that had not happened in ten years yesterday. It poured Guhuai Town thoroughly, and the river water overflowed from the river bank. I heard that it would rain tonight."


    "Tsk, it doesn''t feel like this is a good sign."


    Lu Yang pointed to the temple and smiled, "That happens to be right. There is a temple in front of him. Although it is a little broken, the Buddha statue should still be there. You can go and worship it while you spend the night."


    "Revisit the plan. According to the existing information, the other party is very vigilant and will not show up easily. Moreover, the other party is a ghost and has a skillful escape method, so it is not easy to be caught."


    "The strength of the female ghost should be in the foundation-building stage, and the specific realm is unknown."


    "If the female ghost appears, you must wait until you are sure that the other party will not escape before you catch her!"


    "Our current identity is a scholar who entered the Imperial City to gain fame. We stay here for one night and take this opportunity to lure the female ghost to appear!"


    "So far, no news of a female ghost killing has been received. Don''t kill the female ghost when catching it."


    "I had no experience when I went out before. Since I saw my master being imprisoned, I have understood the importance of using a pseudonym in the outside world. I would not lose the people from the Dao Sect in such a way that I would not let go of the people from the Dao Sect. Check their names again, my name is Lu Yiyang."


    "My name is Long Jingzhou."


    "My name is Li Hao."


    The three of them thought they had no problem with the plan, so they restrained their breath to the extreme, disguised themselves as mortals, and walked into the temple.


    "This temple is so clean." Meng Jingzhou was surprised. He thought it would be covered with dust and spiders were weaving nets in every corner.


    The situation inside the temple was much beyond his expectations. The temple was as clean as if someone had cleaned it.


    The only regrettable thing is that the Buddha statue in the middle lacks the upper body and cannot be worshiped.


    Li Haoran found the dry firewood from behind the Buddha statue, which should have been left by the person who stayed here last time.


    He piled firewood together, found some hay, took out flint from his bag, and used the hay as a guide to ignite the firewood pile.


    Li Haoran roasted the fire with both hands, showing an extremely comfortable expression: "Huh--I''m alive."


    Lu Yang took out a few steamed buns from his bag, skewed them with wooden sticks, and set them on the fire to roast them.


    After the outer skin of the steamed bun turned slightly yellow, Lu Yang broke open one of the steamed buns, and the fragrance mixed with the heat came to his face.


    Meng Jingzhou walked around the dilapidated temple and returned to the main hall: "In addition to the main hall, there are two rooms, and each room is exactly one person and one room when you go to bed later."


    "good."


    The three of them gathered around the fire, eating steamed buns and pickles, while sighing that the road ahead was difficult.


    Lu Yang was full of worry, and he didn''t even feel the steamed buns in his hand: "I don''t know if it will be smooth sailing when I go to the Imperial City this time. I heard that monks are everywhere in the Imperial City, and it is even more difficult for us mortals to make a fortune there."


    Meng Jingzhou waved his hand: "The number of monks in the imperial city is not as exaggerated as you think. It would be nice to have one monk in the twenty people. It is so difficult to become a monk. The spiritual root alone will sift 90% of the people."


    There is one monk among the twenty people, and this ratio is already extremely terrifying. No big city in the central continent can reach this ratio.


    "Although we have no spiritual roots, we are knowledgeable, and we can read all kinds of articles at will. We also have different opinions about current affairs than ordinary people. It is not impossible to leave Shoutian County tomorrow, go to Beijing to take the exam, gain fame, gain praise from the emperor, and obtain a position of one or half."


    Not all high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty were monks, but some were mortals.


    Meng Jingzhou pointed at Li Haoran with a steamed bun and said, "For example, Brother Li recited "Thousand Characters" at the age of five, wrote poems at the age of seven, wrote lyrics at the age of eight, and wrote articles at the age of ten. He was talented and wonderful, as if he was natural. The teacher praised it for being the best student he had ever taught."


    Li Haoran smiled reservedly: "Brother Long praised it. It was just that the teacher wanted to inspire me, so he commented like this. On the contrary, Brother Long left the family business and did not inherit it. Instead, he wanted to go to the imperial city to gain a future. This confidence and the confidence source of this confidence are something that I and Brother Lu can''t compare with."


    The three of them praised each other in various ways, and then they flipped through the books of sages and read them with relish. They felt that the sages wrote very well, and they deserved to be famous works that can be passed down through the ages. If they could write such an article, they would die without regrets.


    Meng Jingzhou yawned and ruthlessly hit Lu Yang''s dream: "Okay, stop dreaming, go to bed, you have to get up early tomorrow."


    The three of them walked into their respective rooms as they had agreed when eating steamed buns.


    Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou went to the rooms on both sides to sleep, while Li Haoran stayed in the main hall and slept in front of half of the large Buddha statue.


    In the darkness, three beautiful figures stared at Lu Yang and the other two, with a faint green light emitting from their eyes.


    "Three more people came, and the yang energy was strong. I really want to know what they felt..." Qingyi Qianying chuckled.


    "Yes, yes, I haven''t seen a scholar with such strong yang energy for a long time. Although scholars can cultivate righteousness after reading sages for a long time, they are rare like these three people." The beautiful figure in red licked his lips, full of temptation.


    Baiyi Qianying was young and hurriedly said, "Two sisters, please be careful not to absorb their yang energy, but to look at the problem with a sustainable perspective."


    "They feel comfortable once and will come again. After a while, we absorb more yang energy than at one time."


    "I know, I know, Xiao Qiyi is not old, but the most verbose thing is. We know the right way to do it. If we do it, we will lead to the right investigation. The unlucky thing is that we still understand this principle."


    "Let''s go separately, let''s go to the two rooms next to you. Xiaoqi, stay here to serve this person named Li."
