Sword of Coming

Pei Qian said he wanted to go to the gate to see the screen wall. The incense in the temple above would float and smell, and the water would move and make sounds. It was so interesting.

The Water Goddess waved her hand and summoned a young maid to take Pei Qian there to enjoy the scenery.

Remembering that a Confucian saint from another cultural background had just left, Chen Pingan put down his wine gourd and said: "My hometown, Longquan County, was actually the first Lizhu Cave. Mr. Qi was a teacher in the school, but I was poor when I was a child. , I never went to school, and my next-door neighbor is Mr. Qi’s student, so I often mention it. But Mr. Qi has naturally seen it, after all, the town is so big.”

Zhong Kui sat back at the wine table and poured a glass of wine with a smile. Of course he believed Chen Pingan's words, but not entirely. A pure martial artist at a young age owned a sword gourd and two natal flying swords, as well as the Yin Shen Ye. You, even if there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the Lizhu Cave, and Chen Ping'an has another destiny, Zhong Kui would not believe it if he said that Chen Ping'an and Qi Jingchun had just "met" each other.

However, Chen Ping'an had reservations, and Zhong Kui did not go into the details. Although the knowledge of literary saints has been banned by major academies, in fact, it is not a big deal to have several literary saints' works privately stored in private libraries.

Not to mention knowing Qi Jingchun, it doesn't matter even if you have attended that school. As long as you, Chen Pingan, are not the direct disciples of Qi Jingchun's academic tradition, you will definitely not have any trouble. To say the least, in Tongye Dafu Academy in Zhouzhou has jurisdiction over the territory. Even if it is true, it doesn't matter. He has Zhong Kui and his husband.

But if it's the two academies at the north and south ends, it's hard to tell.

The Goddess of Water's eyes shone, she put her hands on the wine table, and asked hurriedly: "Then have you seen Mr. Literary Saint? Isn't he a very elegant old man, with a high crown and a broad belt, a breeze on his sleeves, and a bit of seriousness? He is gentle, and you can tell at a glance that he is a worldly master with profound knowledge, and his temperament is similar to those of the mountain masters in the paintings?"

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to say against his will: "I've never seen it before."

The Water Goddess's eyes were full of regret and pity. The former was for herself and the latter was for Chen Ping'an. She sat back slumped down, drank a large bowl of wine, wiped her mouth, and sighed: "That's really a pity in life. You haven't seen it before." Try to meet such an old gentleman in the future, otherwise your life will not be perfect."

Chen Pingan smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll fight for it."

She remembered something, "Then have you ever seen a guy named Cui Han, a bastard who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors even though he was a disciple? There is also that swordsman who has the ability to use swords to pass through the gods. His name is very domineering, so he is called Zuo Zuo. It is said that his swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. There are also Mao Xiaodong and others... With so many disciples of Literary Sage, you have always seen one of them, right?"

Chen Ping'an raised the wine pot and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's drink and drink."

The Water Goddess slapped the table, her face full of anger, "Drink, what's the matter with you?! If I were born and raised in Lizhu Cave, the first important thing to do after leaving my hometown would be to visit Master Literary Saint. If If you can't break into the Academy's Merit Forest, then you should settle for the next best thing and at least scold Cui Han, experience the swordsmanship of the left and right, and play chess with Mao Xiaodong..."

Chen Pingan echoed: "It makes sense."

Water Goddess

Zhong Kui suppressed his laughter and said, "Scolding Cui Chan? Water Goddess Empress, it's not that I look down on you. Even though it is said that the Great Li State Master's realm has plummeted, he can still crush your golden body with two fingers."

The Water Goddess said confidently: "If I curse a few words outside the gate of Lijing City, he can hear me?"

Zhong Kui rolled his eyes and said, "Then he really can't hear it."

The three of them were drinking wine.

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

The big demon lurking near Fuqi Zong went on a violent rampage after his identity was revealed, causing one of the Yupu-level Taoist monks who were good at combined attacks to die and the other injured. The battlefield was still at the top of Fuqi Zong Mountain. Even if the big demon Taking advantage of the innate physical strength, I am afraid that the realm needs to be the twelfth realm.

A great Immortal Realm monster that should have been famous for a long time has actually been hiding in the middle of Tongye Continent for countless years? Neither the Fuqi Sect nor the Academy noticed at all? And what a coincidence, when the leader of Taiping Mountain went to intercept it from entering the sea, the prison for suppressing demons in Taiping Mountain suddenly opened, and successfully escaped in all directions?

In addition, there were Posuo Continent, Tongye Continent and Fuyao Continent before. Each of the three continents had ancient treasured immortal soldiers appearing one after another, which had attracted countless monks to fight for each other.

The Water Goddess asked cautiously: "I dare to ask, your mountain master left the academy and took the lead in fighting the big monster. Isn't he really afraid of falling?"

Zhong Kui laughed angrily and said: "Please remember my husband, can you? Besides, anyone in the world can ask this, except the Water Goddess. Forget it. For more than two hundred years, you have voluntarily left Biyou Mansion and Water Goddess." Temple, how many fights did you have with that big monster?"

The Water Goddess took a sip of wine and said, "That's different. I'm just a little Water God. Your husband was born in a certain saint's mansion in the Confucian Temple..."

Zhong Kui squinted and said, "Is this what you read from the sages' books written by Master Literary Saint?"

The Water Goddess was so angry that it didn't matter if she scolded her for being short-sighted in person, but when it came to Master Literary Saint, she couldn't do it. She slapped the table and stood up, "Zhong Kui, if you talk like this in such a weird way, spit out the noodles and wine!"

Zhong Kui took a sip of wine and said, "I will drink your wine."

He took another sip, "I drank it again, it tastes great."

The Water Goddess was so angry that her face was livid and her whole body was shaking.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "There is an archway in my hometown, and one of the four plaques says 'do your duty'. This is probably the reason why Mr. Zhong Kui made this choice. Before, Zhong Kui said why the world is willing to abide by the rules established by Confucianism. Mr. Zhong Kui's move today, regardless of life or death, the three of you here, not to mention Zhong Kui who is a student, at least you and I, the Goddess of Water, will feel that the academic style of Dafu Academy is enough to make people admire them. If I are in the future If I have children and they travel around the world, I will definitely let them come to Tongyezhou and Dafu Academy."

Zhong Kui nodded and raised his wine bowl to toast Chen Ping'an.

The Water Goddess acknowledged this statement with a hum, and then also offered Chen Ping'an a bowl of wine.

There is no banquet in the world that never ends.

Zhong Kui put down his wine bowl and prepared to finish the last thing and leave Mihe Biyou Mansion.

Pei Qian trotted all the way outside the threshold of the hall, slurping water in his hands, his face full of joy, and shouted to Chen Pingan like a treasure: "Would you like to take a look at the handful of water I fished out from the screen wall?"

She lowered her arms and put her fingers together between her hands, which really contained a pool of clear water.

Chen Pingan took one look at it and said, "Give it back."

Pei Qian said "oh" and returned the same way, followed by the maid who covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly.

The Water Goddess thought the little girl was very funny and said with a smile: "It's just a handful of buried river water essence. It's not worth a few gods' money. You don't need to put her back."

Chen Pingan shook his head and did not explain anything in detail.

Zhong Kui also carried something small and exquisite, a small and exquisite bronze paperweight named Haechi.

He took out the small snow cone with the four characters "The writing has spirit" engraved on it, as well as three pieces of golden talisman paper with a light seal script as the background.

Chen Ping'an didn't know the goods and only felt that they were slightly different from his own golden talisman papers. However, the Water Goddess was an expert in making these talisman papers. He was surprised: "Wind and thunder paper? They are dragon claw seal, jade tendon seal, and Ganoderma lucidum seal. These are amazing." It's worth a lot of money. When I, Biyou Mansion, first opened the mansion, I only talked about this talisman paper, and the Daquan court only rewarded me with a piece of wind and thunder paper with dragon claw seal pattern."

Seeing Chen Ping'an's calm expression, as if he didn't know the rarity of this talisman paper, the Water Goddess explained: "This kind of talisman written on paper is the best to impeach ghosts. Even the high-ranking earthly immortals like Jindan Yuanying regard this thing as their heart. Well, they are extremely expensive. A monk under the golden elixir would probably lose his fortune if he wanted to buy these three pieces of wind and thunder paper."

It is not that Chen Ping'an doesn't know the goodness of golden talisman paper. When he was following the old swordsman Song Yushao in the battle formation of Shushui Kingdom, a royal priest offered a gold talisman and summoned a golden statue. Jia Shenren used this to stop Chen Ping'an's surprise attack. Chen Pingan saw with his own eyes that the old man looked pitiful and trembling after throwing out the talisman.

"Even Taiping Mountain is not peaceful now. You can imagine how chaotic the central part of Tongye Island is. It's outrageous to walk around the world without a few amulets."

Zhong Kui placed three talisman papers on the wine table, holding a small snow cone in his hand. Before drawing the talisman, he said softly: "Chen Pingan, friends are friends, and money transactions should be more relaxed. I will help you write three talismans. This is the talisman of the three talents of heaven and earth." , has a strong murderous aura, and is just used to suppress evil spirits and kill ghosts. It is a set of self-made talismans that can be used alone to scare away ghosts in the Golden Core realm. It is the ghost king in the Nascent Soul realm. If the three talismans are used together, as long as If you seize the opportunity well, you might be able to seriously injure it, so let’s consider it as the interest for borrowing this small snow cone from you.”

Chen Pingan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Since it is so valuable, I can lend you the little snow cone for a few more days."

Zhong Kui shook his shoulders, knocked Chen Ping'an's hand away, and rolled his eyes: "I'm not familiar with you."

The Water Goddess was speechless. She really couldn't guess what kind of friendship the two had. One was willing to lend a high-grade magic weapon, and the other was willing to give away three pieces of wind and thunder paper.

Zhong Kui was just like when he was writing Spring Festival couplets in the inn, he started to pretend again, holding a pen in one hand, hovering in the air, preparing to write the characters, shaking the cuff of the other hand, raising it high, "The sage has a saying, he has read thousands of volumes, and he has written like this. There is a god. Water Goddess, bring me some wine!"

The Water Goddess gave him a bowl of wine.

Chen Pingan reminded: "Don't get carried away. Draw the talisman carefully. If the drawing is wrong and it doesn't work, just conjure up another piece of wind and thunder paper for me. You said it yourself. Friends are friends, and money should be kept clean."

Zhong Kui put down the bowl of wine angrily, and Chen Pingan said again: "I'm just kidding you."

Zhong Kui looked resentful.

The Water Goddess admired this young man who traveled at night.

Do you really not take the academy gentlemen seriously?

Zhong Kui took a big sip of wine, then burped, and then a mysterious scene appeared. Wisps of snow-white spiritual energy, like the righteousness read by the scholar, revealed a little bit to Zhong Kui, those wisps. The aura of awe-inspiring winding around the tip of the small snow cone's pen, Zhong Kui's drawing of talismans was even more unorthodox. He did not "put down the pen" on the talisman paper, but read a poem, "Yazhang bid farewell to the Phoenix Palace, and the iron cavalry circled the Dragon City."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a bunch of little people the size of rice grains "fell" from the tip of the pen.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be horse-riding generals wearing silver armor. More than a hundred riding on the wind and thunder talismans quickly arranged their troops, and each rode their horses to a stop.

Zhong Kui, who was holding a pen in his right hand, put the two fingers of his left hand together, pointed towards the talisman paper, and said in a deep voice: "Ding!"

Those silver-armored knights melted instantly and turned into golden talismans.

In an instant, it turned into a talisman.

The next two paintings are similar in their handwriting of talismans, and they deserve the reputation of "there are ghosts and gods under the wrists".

The Water Goddess was greatly impressed. She was worthy of being a quasi-sage of Dafu Academy. Regardless of moral articles, just this talisman attainment would probably make a Jade Pu Realm talisman master praise her.

Zhong Kui handed the three talismans to Chen Pingan, "Three talented military talismans, you're done."

Chen Pingan carefully took the talisman and asked with a smile: "Are you tired after drawing three talismans?"

Zhong Kui patted his belly and sneered: "It's a trivial matter! I'm full of strategies, I have 100,000 armored soldiers, and it's just three talismans... just?"

Zhong Kui was stunned because he saw that Chen Ping'an had just put away three talismans and took out three more talismans. The top one was also made of gold material, but it was not the wind and thunder paper with ancient seal patterns. It seemed to be older.

Chen Pingan put them gently on the table and said with a smile: "Since you are not tired, then help me draw three more, preferably a thunder talisman and a guiding talisman, which can break through some of the obstacles in the mountains and rivers. A talisman that can imprison the sword repairer's natal flying sword, such as the well talisman."

The Water Goddess was full of doubts. This foreign young man was really not an ordinary rich man.

Zhong Kui wiped the sweat from his forehead and lamented: "That's it. Good people will do their best to the end. If you write three more, it will be three."

After thinking for a while and making up his mind, Zhong Kui said in a deep voice: "I will write you a 'main method' five thunder talismans that Longhushan Tianshi is good at. The thunder method is ranked first among all methods, and the inheritance of thunder method is mixed. , and takes Longhu Mountain as the authentic and main method. My husband has traveled to Longhu Mountain several times and met the Great Celestial Master once. He happened to learn a Five Thunder Talisman. Five dragons hold beads, which contains thunder and energy. …”

I found that Chen Pingan's eyes were strange.

Zhong Kui groaned and said bitterly: "You can't let me take my time before writing. I wrote three high-grade talismans in one go, and I was so tired. How could I have imagined that you could come up with three such good talisman papers?" , If I had known, I would have pretended to be a grandson."

Chen Ping'an sat down with a smile, "After drinking, it's not too late to draw the talisman when you feel calm. I won't rush you."

Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief, took a big sip of wine, took out the top piece of golden talisman paper, and put it upright.

I saw the small snow cone hovering more than a foot above the talisman paper. There were lightning and thunder at the tip of the pen, purple lightning and white thunder. Within a short distance, there was the mighty power of heaven.

The Water Goddess was frightened.

After writing the astonishing Five Dragons Holding Pearls and Thunder Talisman, Zhong Kui wrote another barrier-breaking talisman.

Then he sat down on the chair and stared blankly at the last piece of cyan talisman paper.

Chen Ping'an understood clearly, reached out and picked up the talisman, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't scare you. The two talismans from before are enough."

Zhong Kui's face was solemn, and he grabbed Chen Pingan's arm that twisted the blue talisman paper with his fingers, "I must draw this talisman, but I need to think about it carefully, and be careful when writing. If the drawing is wrong, I will forget you Chen Pingan If you don’t hit me, I will scold myself.”

Chen Pingan asked: "Can it be painted?"

Zhong Kui asked back: "What's the point of this being possible? Of course it can be painted. I just think it would be a waste of natural resources to draw an ordinary water well talisman that can only imprison and imprison the Jianxiu Feijian under the Nascent Soul." "

Chen Ping'an praised: "Zhong Kui, your talent for drawing talismans is much better than mine."

Zhong Kui said helplessly: "You are a pure martial artist and you say that you are not as good as me in drawing talismans. Do you think I deserve to be happy?"

Chen Ping'an was speechless and remained silent for a moment, no longer disturbing Zhong Kui's rest and recuperation, so as to warm up the awe-inspiring spirit in his heart.

I just had a decision in my mind.

Zhong Kui took a deep breath and said to the Water Goddess: "Send all the ghosts in the mansion out of Biyou Mansion, and then let them return after I successfully draw the talisman."

Although she didn't know why, she still used the unique magical powers of the Buried River Water God and Lord Biyou to "expel" all the stewards, maids and servants from the mansion in an instant.

Zhong Kui stood still, with one hand behind his back and a small snow cone in the other, the breeze whistling in his sleeves.

In an instant, Biyou Mansion began to tremble, and the underground water veins surged.

The Water Goddess had difficulty breathing for a moment, and she stepped back, trying to stay as far away from the gentleman from Dafu Academy. She still felt extremely uncomfortable, and she felt slightly better after drifting away from the hall.

She bit her lip, her eyes dazed.

This scholar named Zhong Kui is by no means as simple as an academy gentleman!

When Zhong Kui was writing, he recited softly: "Throwing the sword up, the rivers will be clear, the mountains in all directions will collapse, and the nine continents will boil."

After the talisman was completed, the talisman that would only be hidden in the talisman suddenly appeared on the spot. It was a white-clothed swordsman one finger high, floating above the talisman paper, and drew his sword smartly. The sword energy circulated and was like lightning.

Zhong Kui's face turned pale, he put away the small snow cone and took a big sip of wine. Although he was exhausted, he was smiling, "This talisman is also my own creation. It is my most proud talisman. It is named Sword-Suppressing Talisman. With the majestic sword intention of an ancient sword immortal, it can defeat all the natal flying swords under the upper five realms. The talisman paper is so good, and my talisman is well drawn. It is not like the water well talisman, but it just traps the flying sword. For a moment, when this sword-suppressing talisman is released, it will directly deprive a person of the golden elixir realm's natal flying sword. The flying sword of Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator still cannot be held for too long, and sooner or later it will break out of the talisman. Remember one thing , please do not take out this talisman easily and let outsiders see it. My husband has warned me that this sword-suppressing talisman is against the rules and is too targeted at sword cultivators, so it can easily get into trouble."

Chen Pingan felt a little guilty, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhong Kui waved his hand with a smile and spoke to Chen Pingan from his heart, "This talisman paper is the manuscript paper used by the saint to write down his basic knowledge. Do you know how rare it is? It was my husband, when he left the Middle Earth Divine Continent, I have only kept three of them with me. I used one when I was crossing the sea and another one when I arrived at Tongye Island. Now there is only one left. It is Mr.’s beloved one. Even I can only look at it but not touch it. .So, if it is just a golden talisman, the power of my sword-suppressing talisman will be greatly reduced, and it will probably only be able to trap the natal flying sword of the Jindan sword cultivator, at most for a stick of incense."

Zhong Kui shouted happily and started drinking again.

Chen Pingan turned his wrist and quietly handed Zhong Kui a piece of talisman paper.

Zhong Kui was dumbfounded and stared: "Are you crazy? It's just that you don't know the value. I told you how rare it is, but it's such a child's play? Take it back quickly!"

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but let go of his fingers and let the cyan talisman fall down. Zhong Kui had no choice but to catch it quickly and quickly put it into his sleeve.

Chen Pingan took off the sword gourd, raised it high, and said with a soft smile: "I wish you a successful trip to Taiping Mountain to slay demons and demons."

Zhong Kui hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing. He just raised the wine bowl silently, touched it lightly with the sword gourd in Chen Pingan's hand, and each took a big sip of wine.

Zhong Kui finished the wine in the bowl, stood up, and said, "Let's go."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and sent each other off.

Zhong Kui was about to leave.

Chen Pingan reminded: "Don't you ask for a jar of wine from the Water Goddess?"

Zhong Kui's eyes lit up and he gave Chen Pingan a thumbs up.

The Water Goddess has a heroic temperament, so she will not be stingy. She brought two jars over, but Zhong Kui left one jar and gave it to Chen Pingan. The century-old wine is slowly poured into the sword-raising gourd.

Zhong Kui carried the wine jar, and his figure disappeared in a flash. He flew through the air and arrived at the bank of the Buried River. He was about to cross the river when he suddenly stopped. It turned out that he saw his husband's ghost, as if waiting for him on the bank. .

Zhong Kui quickly hid the wine jar behind his back.

The mountain master of Dafu Academy is a middle-aged man with a dull expression, walking slowly by the bank of the Buried River, with Zhong Kui following behind him.

There are seventy-two academies and seventy-two mountain masters in the vast world, with different levels of realm. The tallest person can be the towering immortal realm, but there are also mountain masters who only have the Nascent Soul realm. For example, Mao Xiaodong from Xinshanya Academy in the Sui Dynasty only had the Nascent Soul realm. However, when the Mountain Lord is in charge of the academy, the Nascent Soul Realm can rival the Jade Pu Realm, and his cultivation level is still something that no one dares to underestimate.

This scholar from a certain saint's mansion, among the mountain masters of the academy, his level is neither high nor low, he is at the Jade Pu realm. In Dafu Academy, he is at the Immortal realm.

But this time he went to the seaside farther west of the Fuji Sect to chase the big monster and left the academy, so he was only in the Yupu realm.

The mountain master said softly: "The other party is very likely to have back-ups, so I don't want you to be afraid, but I want you to plan everything before you take action. Even if you are subduing demons around Taiping Mountain, you still can't take it lightly."

Zhong Kui nodded and said: "Disciple understands."

The mountain master stopped and stretched out his palm. There was a piece of cyan talisman floating in his hand, "Put it away to protect yourself."

Zhong Kui didn't reach out to pick it up, "Sir, you were at the river just now. Didn't you use your magical powers to check Biyou Mansion?"

The mountain master scolded softly: "You were buried by the river before, and you invited ghosts from the underworld without authorization. As the mountain master of Dafu Academy, how can I not find out what my responsibilities are?! You are in Biyou Mansion, and you are just getting along with friends. Naturally, I Don't look at anything inappropriate! If I hadn't handed you this talisman in front of outsiders, the Yin Shen would have left long ago."

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "Sir, your words are pure and your deeds are pure. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. Disciples have learned a lesson!"

The mountain owner didn't take it seriously, "Why don't you accept it?"

Zhong Kui had no choice but to be honest, "In addition to the brush that I like, my friend also gave me a piece of cyan talisman paper, which is made of the same material as Mr.'s."

The mountain master frowned and put away the talisman in his hand. He seemed displeased and asked, "Why do you accept such a valuable thing calmly?"

Zhong Kui was speechless and thought for a moment, "I don't know why, but it seems right to accept it. Please punish me, sir."

The mountain owner was silent for a moment, "You don't have to hide that jar of Biyou Mansion's fine wine. Now that you have made a good friend, isn't it worth drinking? Remember, drinking is okay, don't delay your trip to Taiping Mountain, and... I won't do it next time. "

Zhong Kui scratched his head. Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?

Mr. Xian was famous for being rigid. He always followed the rules and observed etiquette in everything. He was a close friend of the master of the academy in Ju Luzhou, who was always good at not doing anything, but when he did, the mountain fell apart.

This night-walking Yin God returned to his true form that was far away in a snap of his fingers.

The mountain owner was a little sad.

Looking at the interactions between his disciple Zhong Kui and the young man, he couldn't help but remember that when he was young, he and many descendants of saints' mansions of similar origins and ages, as well as wealthy nobles and sect disciples, were more or less jealous of someone named Qi. of.

Because the man who calls himself A Liang is the guy they admire the most.

What I like to tell people most is that Xiao Qi is my friend. If anyone dares to bully him, I will beat his ancestor’s coffin board until it cannot hold him down.

————

In Biyou Mansion, the Water Goddess's first words after Zhong Kui left were earth-shattering, "I know you have met Master Literary Saint, and it's not the kind of chance meeting you just passed by by chance!"

Chen Pingan was unmoved, "How come I don't know?"

The Water Goddess sneered and said: "Are you still pretending? Zhong Kui can't recognize your identity or see your academic background. That's because he doesn't belong to the cultural background of Master Literary Saint and Qi Jingchun of Cliff Academy. Who am I? Master Literary Saint I have read all the works verbatim and read them countless times. The two debates between the three religions that the literary saint participated in that year are so clear to me! I have a lot of poems and books in my belly, so what books should I read? , Haoran’s Qi is different, who am I? After all, I am a river god, and the art of looking at Qi is my specialty!”

Looking at the conclusive words from the Water Goddess, Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "So?"

Her face fell instantly, her aura completely gone, "Have you really never seen Master Literary Saint?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "I've seen it."

The Water Goddess was lying on the table, her eyes full of sorrow, and she suddenly jumped up, "Have you seen it before?!"

Chen Pingan held out a finger to indicate for us to speak in a lower voice.

The Water Goddess looked at this young man who really knew Master Literary Saint, oh my God, how can there be such a handsome young man in the world?

Otherwise, after getting him drunk... we will treat him as a brother, right? In this way, wouldn't it mean that I have some relationship with Master Literary Saint?

She wiped her mouth and became silly and happy, thinking that she was indeed unparalleled in scheming, and she was worthy of having read so many literary sage books. She really had not read the books in vain, and she would never embarrass the literary sage.

Chen Pingan regretted saying that he knew the literary sage and the old scholar.
