Chapter 177: Homecoming
When he arrived in Guoruo County, he entered the city and Chen Tang showed his identity. He was received afterwards. Then, the post station arranged a carriage to take Chen Tang back to Panzhou Prefecture.
This is an additional benefit.
As a basic agency of the imperial court, the station usually provides some soup, food and accommodation to civil servants. Regardless of food and accommodation, the conditions are not much better, so most wealthy people choose to take care of themselves. As for the delivery of carriage business, this time it is mainly for the sake of "Tanhua" and to do personal favors.
The car was old, and the person who pulled the cart was also an old horse, so he didn't walk fast.
However, Chen Tang was already very satisfied. He was short of money and could only rely on the post station to go home. He could also take a good rest and think about some things while sitting in the car.
In the Fayuan Temple, I talked with Yan Huandan and learned clearly about the origins of the "Shan Yang Sutra" and some of the things about the deceased father. There were many doubts in my heart and I was explained.
Yan Huandan said that he and Chen’s father obtained two sets of mysterious methods: one is the “Shanyang Sutra” and the other is the “Tao Dian Zhen Sutra”. Such an opportunity is arguing against the will of heaven.
Of course, Chen's father also paid the price of his life.
It is difficult to compare which of the two sets of exercises is better or worse. Yan Huandan was born as a Taoist priest, so it is reasonable to choose the "Tao Dian Zhen Jing".
Although he said that he did not have much ability before practicing this sutra, Chen Tang did not believe this statement, thinking that the bearded man was humble.
If you only have the three-legged cat skill that is not up to date, you can have the ability to enter the evil place and get the opportunity?
Stop joking.
Similarly, Chen's father must have had some excitement in practicing martial arts at that time. It's just that Chen Tang was young and knew nothing about it.
Yan Huandan was a master, and after practicing the "Tao Dian Zhen Jing", he was naturally better than that, so he dared to enter the underworld and seek revenge on Song Siming. Unexpectedly, he was plotted and imprisoned. The reason why he could support him for more than ten years was mainly because of the "Tao Dian Zhen Jing".
Yan Huandan didn't say much about this sutra, and Chen Tang was not easy to inquire about it. However, after observing it, Chen Tang discovered something and guessed that the scripture carrier might be something like a piece of clothing and armor, which was worn by Yan Huandan.
Or, it is directly refined and cultivated into the body, and has merged with the flesh and blood...
The latter is more likely.
"Shanyang Sutra" is a matching sword box and visualization picture; "The Taoist True Sutra" is a matching armor and flying sword?
Chen Tang originally wanted to invite Yan Huandan to Panzhou together and ask for advice, but Yan Huandan directly refused. Maybe he really had a lot of things to deal with; maybe he might be sad, and for a while, it was difficult to find a suitable way to get along with Chen Tang, and he felt very uncomfortable.
A person like a bearded man doesn’t speak much, and after being trapped for more than ten years, his temperament will definitely be even more withdrawn.
Yan Huandan must have been entrusted by Chen's father to take care of the orphan and widowed mother. He had no choice but to take revenge and encountered a change, which made him unable to fulfill his promise. Now facing Chen Tang, he feels guilty.
Not to mention, the reason why he was able to escape from the Yin-Yang Netherworld Tree was to rely on Chen Tang, the nephew, to save him.
This makes me feel even more uncomfortable.
Chen Tang has read "Psychology" and has discussed and studied it a lot. Therefore, he didn't say much, so he let Yan Huandan leave alone and be quiet.
The "Tao Dian Zhen Jing" is the opportunity for a bearded man, while the opportunity for Chen Tang was the "Shan Yang Jing". Now Chen Tang's strength is far different from that of Yan Huan Dan, but it does not mean that the "Shan Yang Jing" is not good. How long has he been practicing?
It is originally two techniques with different systems and characteristics.
Yan Huandan is a master and an elder of his family. Of course, Chen Tang would not be polite and seized the time to ask him for advice and answer questions. But after a conversation, he did not learn much.
Regarding the court, demons, and evil spirits, Chen Tang had actually learned a lot of information before this. As for the existence of higher levels, it was limited to a very small circle, and even Yan Huandan was unknown.
In addition, he has been trapped in the underworld for more than ten years!
It is equivalent to being in prison for fourteen or five years. There are many changes in the outside world and have changed a lot, and even the emperor has passed away.
In this regard, Chen Tang can be his "teacher".
In short, he successfully saved Yan Huandan and then settled his mind and could return home easily. Chen Tang would not think that from now on, he would have a big backer who could run rampant.
From then on, he likes to rely on himself.
The driver who drove the car was named "Liu". He was about fifty years old and was a chatterbox. Maybe he saw that the person sitting in the car was a Tanhualang, so he talked a lot. Whenever he had the chance, he found some topics. The main content was about the fatigue of the post station and the situation of his family. His children were not good at being decent, or something.
Anyway, there is a meaning in the words: I hope to meet a noble person and help him.
Most of the time, Chen Tang chose to be a listener. He understood the meaning of the coachman, but although he was a Tanhualang, he did not have much ability to be a noble person.
Many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as you get the exam, you will immediately become successful and be proud of the world.
But in fact, fame and fortune are just a stepping stone. The greatest halo effect is about reputation and appear "empty". The real test is the career that you embark on after opening the door, which is real power.
However, the career of the government is dangerous and I don’t know how many storms there will be. If you are not careful, you will be capsized and you will die.
In the history of the development of human society, the official position is a system that has been passed down for thousands of years. The concepts here have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts and integrated into every drop of blood.
Who doesn’t want to be an official in the world?
Many literati and great scholars are tired of the officialdom, but they still long to become officials and become officials in their hearts. Wang Wei devotes his love to mountains and rivers, but his official position is not small; the poets and immortals are running around and constantly presenting poems to be able to become officials...
There is a chicken soup. The richer the person, the more he likes to say that money is a numerical symbol, which is meaningless.
Drinking this chicken soup will kill people if you drink too much.
Chen Tang's personality is not keen on the officialdom, but he will not refuse it if he has an official position. After all, he has to rely on this to cultivate his official spirit, and the official position itself represents power. After passing the exam, his fame and fame are guaranteed, and an official position cannot escape. But he needs to wait for a while. If it goes well, he will be appointed in about June and July.
In Yin Kingdom, there is a rule to avoid suspicion when being an official, and it cannot be sent to other places. In other words, if Chen Tang becomes an official, he will not stay in Panzhou.
He doesn't care about this, and changing the environment is just right.
There was nothing to say all the way. At noon that day, the carriage entered Panzhou Prefecture safely and came to Hanmo Street.
Chen Tang got off the car and found something was wrong.
