The daughter of an elite disciple from a major sect, Shi Zelan possessed the best conditions for cultivation. However, she was plotted against and cursed, burdened with an inherently unlucky consti...
Chapter 204 The most exciting day
On the second day, Qijun Zhenren's companion still insisted on leaving the capital, and Qijun Zhenren sent him to the city gate.
After he left the city gate, he said to Master Qijun: "Brother, Wanyu has a willful and fierce temper. You can't let her act according to her temper in the future."
Master Qijun didn't like to hear such words, and after the master said it, he just regarded it as his last bit of kindness.
On this day, Master Qijun came to the yard again to look for Master Qiyuan's brothers and Xia Yu. Shi Xiaoliu said that the elders had not returned home.
Wanyu was locked up in the courtyard by Master Qijun. After he returned, he said to Wanyu, "I escorted your uncle out of the city gate today. I felt something was wrong at the gate. Fortunately, we did not leave the city today."
Wanyu pouted and said, "Master, you said Brother Xia Yu is in a temple outside the city. Why don't we go there and stay there for a few days?"
Qijun Zhenren was not always confused. He looked at Wanyu and sighed, "Wanyu, for those of us who practice cultivation, being too stubborn and stubborn can easily lead to inner demons."
Wan Yu lowered her head and said, "Before I entered the sect, my father and mother told me about my marriage to Xia Yu. If I can't marry Xia Yu, I will fail my father and mother's trust."
Master Qijun felt that the person who tied the bell should be the one who could untie it: "Wanyu, when we leave the capital this time, we will go to your hometown. It will be a good opportunity for you to spend some time with your father and mother."
Wanyu was immediately happy: "Okay, but before I leave, I still want to talk to Xiayu."
Master Qijun sighed: "You are too stubborn towards him."
Wanyu smiled shyly: "After I entered the sect, Brother Xia Yu took good care of me."
In the temple on the mountain, Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers and Xia Yu followed the monks to get up early and do their homework. Xia Yu initially recited the scriptures in a low voice, and later followed the monks to recite the scriptures loudly.
The crowd's voices are harmonious and their demeanor is majestic.
The body must be upright and dignified, the mouth must recite clearly, and the mind must be focused and unwavering.
Xia Yu became more and more focused as time went on. His mind was free of distractions and he felt exceptionally relaxed both physically and mentally.
Afterwards, Xia Yu shared his feelings with Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers. The brothers exchanged glances, quickly said goodbye to the presiding monk and went down the mountain.
After Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers and Xia Yu came back, Shi Xiaoliu told them the news that Qi Jun Zhenren had been there.
After hearing this, Qi Yuan Zhenren asked in surprise, "Xiao Liu, did he tell you that he wanted to see us for something?"
Shi Xiaoliu shook his head, and Qi Yuan Zhenren felt much more relieved. He said to Qi Cheng Zhenren: "If there is anything wrong, my brother, he will come again in a while."
On this day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng did not come back, and Master Qijun did not come again.
At night, the lantern outside the courtyard gate swayed in the wind, and the Qiyuan brothers sat leisurely in the backyard and talked.
In the front yard, Xia Yu shared what he saw and heard in the temple with Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at him and said, "No wonder you came back today."
Xia Yu immediately laughed: "When I was chanting, I was indeed influenced by the monks, but I will not become a Buddhist practitioner in the future."
Shi Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief and said to him, "You and I will get married in the future."
Xia Yu turned and looked at Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan will also get married in the future."
Shi Zelan immediately shook her head and said, "I won't get married. At least, I have no intention of getting married before I ascend."
Xia Yu gave Shi Zelan a thumbs up and said, "You have lofty ambitions. When you ascend to heaven, will you still consider marriage?"
Shi Zelan couldn't help but laugh: "It's too far away, I don't know."
Xia Yu quickly told Shi Xiaoliu and his sister about the excitement of the Cuju finals: "The Sixth Young Master of the General's Mansion scored goals one after another, and the people watching at the time never stopped cheering."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately said that they would go to the teahouse tomorrow to listen to the storyteller tell the story of the Cuju competition.
"I will go to the teahouse with you tomorrow. The storyteller will surely tell a much more interesting story than I do."
"Of course, others make a living by telling stories."
The topic of the three people became more and more relaxed. Xia Yu smiled and said, "After the New Year, many scholars will rush to the capital."
"Yes, you can meet many elegant gentlemen."
Shi Zelan laughed when she heard this: "Xia Yu, Xiao Liu, we can sit in the teahouse and admire the elegance of the scholars."
"I heard that there are many reading gatherings among scholars. Xiaoliu and I can attend once or twice."
Shi Zelan looked at them enviously: "It's a pity that I can't go with you."
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "You can also dress up as a scholar and come with us."
Shi Zelan shook her head: "No, I'll ask Xiao Yingzi to meet the scholar on the street."
The next day, when Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan got up early to go out, Xia Yu hurried over.
"I was a little nervous last night, so I concentrated for a long time and went to bed a little later."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at his face. They could not see anything wrong with Xia Yu's expression, so the three of them walked out with calm expressions.
On the way, he met young men who were fetching water. He enthusiastically asked them where the three of them were going.
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, let's go to the teahouse to listen to storytelling. The storyteller should be talking about the Cuju competition, right?"
"Yes. The storyteller in the teahouse to the south tells good stories. Come back and tell us about them after you listen to them."
"OK."
At the well, they separated from the people carrying water, and the three decided to go south.
When they arrived at the teahouse, they thought they were early arrivals, but when they entered the lobby, they found that most of the people were already seated.
They chose a quiet place to sit down, called the waiter to order tea, and asked for vegetarian cakes to go with the tea.
The storyteller hasn't arrived yet, but the people drinking tea in the teahouse are already discussing the best performers from each team in the Cuju competition.
"It's a pity for the blue team. I know that guy is usually very good at scoring goals, but he didn't find a chance to score that day."
"It was not unfair for the blue team to lose. It was unfair for the red team to lose on the second day. They had already competed the day before, so they were naturally tired on the second day."
"The third day's competition was the most exciting. The team of young masters from the military officers' families was the most outstanding."
“The fourth day was the most exciting. I felt it was much more intense than the last day.”
"Pah, the last day is the best."
The teacup slammed heavily on the table. When the waiter came over to refill the tea, he smiled and said to the guest, "Sir, drink some tea to calm your mind."
"Then Xiao Er, can you tell me which game was the most exciting that day?"
The waiter looked at the customer with a bitter face: "Sir, how can a waiter like me go to watch a cuju game?"
The tea waiter quickly walked away with the kettle. If he didn't leave, he was worried that the customer would be in a bad mood and his anger would be directed at him.
