Chapter 1766
Immortal Traces 4
The eldest brother was very happy to learn of his younger brother's abilities.
As members of the Green Forest, they were aware of the existence of demons and ghosts.
Even my eldest brother has encountered this before.
However, he was lucky; the ghosts he encountered were not very strong. Even though his older brother and his companions held out until dawn, the ghosts, fearing the sun, hid away, and they escaped.
Even the eldest brother went to the temple to ask for a talisman.
However, the monks in the temple were just ordinary monks. The amulets they made were only tainted by incense and had some effect on low-level ghosts and monsters, but they were useless against higher-level ones.
Both the father and mother carried these talismans, and the result was...
After learning that his younger brother could draw talismans, the eldest brother asked Lian Chengbi to draw him several protective talismans and several thunder talismans.
After that, Brother Lian encountered a ghost again.
The ghost was quite fierce; several of the people trapped with Brother Lian died.
Because of his protective amulet, even ghosts and monsters dare not easily approach Brother Lian.
Brother Lian took out the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and threw it at the ghost.
The ghost was struck by lightning, injured, and fled.
Even the eldest brother and his group escaped unharmed.
The others thanked Brother Lian and asked him where the Heavenly Thunder Talisman came from, as they also wanted some.
Even the eldest brother didn't expose his younger brother, after all, his younger brother was going to take the imperial examination and become an official, not be a Taoist priest who would exorcise ghosts and draw talismans for people.
Even after the eldest brother fooled these people, he went home and boasted to his wife about how amazing his younger brother was.
Sister-in-law Lian already had a good impression of Lian Chengbi, and from then on, she took even better care of her brother-in-law.
Lian Chengbi and Liu Dong left home again to go to the provincial capital to participate in the provincial examination.
After learning of his younger brother's abilities, the elder brother did not accompany him personally, but instead prepared a page for Lian Chengbi.
As his maternal uncle, Liu Dong also received a page as a gift.
Lian Chengbi named his page Baiyang, and Liu Liu followed suit and named his own page Lvliu.
He thought that Lian Chengbi must be missing someone from his previous life.
Both pageboys knew some martial arts; they must have been trained by their elder brother.
Both of them were honest people, which was why Liu Dong was willing to accept them.
The two of them didn't rely on their own two legs for the rest of the journey.
Even the eldest brother prepared a carriage for them, and Bai Yang and Lü Liu both knew how to drive.
The journey was relatively peaceful. After all, it wasn't the end of the world or a time of chaos; the world was still relatively peaceful, so there weren't many demons and ghosts.
Ordinary people might not encounter this even once in their entire lives.
It's already incredible that they managed to meet twice.
It took the group half a month to arrive in the provincial capital.
The inns in the provincial capital were already full of scholars who had come to take the imperial examinations. Fortunately, the Lian family had relatives in the provincial capital, so they went directly to stay at their relatives' house.
The relative of the Lian family, surnamed Jin, was Lian Chengbi's uncle, and he owned a restaurant in the provincial capital.
My aunt has passed away. My uncle remarried and had another son and a daughter.
But the uncle-in-law valued his aunt's eldest son the most, and he maintained contact with the Lian family, and their relationship was quite good.
Upon hearing that Lian Chengbi was coming to the provincial capital to participate in the scientific expedition, he had his second wife clean a courtyard well in advance.
My uncle was not a bandit, nor did he know martial arts.
He was an ordinary businessman, just like everyone else, filled with longing and awe for becoming an official.
He very much hoped that Lian Chengbi could pass the imperial examination and become a Juren or even a Jinshi, so that he could become an official and have an official as a backer.
Therefore, Uncle Jin was extremely enthusiastic towards Lian Chengbi and Liu Dong. He even had his eldest son accompany the two of them, running errands for them and building a closer relationship.
Even though the eldest son is Lian Chengbi's cousin, they live far away and might not see each other even once a year, so they are not close. If Lian Chengbi becomes successful, will he remember their family and his son, his cousin?
Naturally, we should take advantage of Lian Chengbi's two or three months in the provincial capital to let our son build a good relationship with him.
Uncle Jin's eldest son is named Jin Buhuan —-_-||, and Gu Juju is said to be a loyal reader of "The Wizard of Oz".
Although Jin Buhuan was Lian Chengbi's cousin, he was about the same age as Lian Chengbi.
Uncle Jin also sent his own children to the academy, but neither of his sons were academically inclined; they stopped studying after learning to read.
The youngest son has a knack for numbers and a talent for business, so Uncle Jin took him under his wing to train him.
Jin Buhuan, on the other hand, was fond of practicing martial arts.
His mother taught him martial arts when she was still alive.
His mother is gone, so Jin Buhuan has trained on his own and has now developed some skill.
At least, scaling walls and leaping across rooftops is no problem for them.
Jin Buhuan initially looked down on his cousin Lian Chengbi, thinking he was just a weak and helpless pretty boy.
result……
Jin Buhuan has now become Lian Chengbi and Liu Dong's lackey!
Good heavens! These two cousins are both incredibly capable!
It's unbelievable!
Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi wanted peace and quiet, so their courtyard was located at the very edge of the Jin family's house, separated from their neighbor's courtyard by a wall.
Not long after they moved in, people also moved into the secluded courtyard of their neighbor's house; they were also scholars who had come to take the imperial examinations.
The scholar on the other side also preferred quiet, so both sides remained quiet and did not disturb each other.
One day, Liu Dong and Lian Chengbi went out, and just then, the people from that side also went out, and that's how they bumped into each other.
After a moment of surprise, the other party cupped his hands first: "I am Leng Yubing from Guangping Prefecture. Greetings to you both."
Liu and the other person quickly returned the greeting and introduced themselves.
Upon hearing this person's name, Liu Dong's interest was piqued, and she carefully examined him.
This man was about twenty years old, with handsome features and an outstanding demeanor.
He looked refined, but he didn't have the fragility of a scholar; on the contrary, he was quite strong.
His palms had calluses, not from holding a pen, but from holding a sword.
He was also a man skilled in both literature and martial arts.
Liu Tong silently gave this person a thumbs up; no wonder he was the male lead.
Perhaps it was the attraction between the protagonist and the important supporting character that made Lian Chengbi and Leng Yubing have a good impression of each other.
Knowing that they were all going to a literary gathering, Lian Chengbi offered to go along, and Leng Yubing readily agreed.
The two got along very well and had already become friends by the time they arrived at Wenhui.
Lian Chengbi thus learned about Leng Yubing's origins.
This person's ancestor was no ordinary man; he was Leng Qian.
Leng Qian, one of the five wandering warriors under the tutelage of Emperor Jin.
But historically, he really existed, and he was indeed on par with Zhou Dian.
"Leng Qian, courtesy name Qijing, sobriquet Longyangzi, was a famous Taoist, musician and painter in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, known for his longevity and versatility."
It is said that this person lived to be over 150 years old.
His life story is quite legendary; he was a monk, a Confucian scholar, and later a Taoist priest.
He served as the Assistant Director of Music in the early Ming Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Hongwu, responsible for the arrangement and performance of music. He was one of the founders of the music for suburban temples in the Ming Dynasty.
This person can be considered a representative figure of Taoism. (End of Chapter)
