Extra 4

"What, what sweetheart?" Liu stubbed.

Chen Qiao shook his head and laughed: "No, it's because I am Meng Lang. I shouldn't have asked such a question."

Master Liu came to his senses, scratched his hair, thinking that he probably followed his thoughts: "Master Chen has been practicing Taoism since he was a child, and has no desires. He must have never been in contact with ordinary people. It is normal for him to be scared by Li Xiaozi's fear of being at a loss!"

After the two had just fought, Liu Paoshi turned against the previous polite distantness and seemed to be very close: "Actually, I really can't answer this. How can I get so much love in this world? I'm lucky to practice martial arts under the Zhongnan Sect. I didn't go home until I was seventeen. My parents at home booked me a marriage. I heard that although the woman did not know martial arts, she was a young teacher and a court training. She was virtuous and kind. As the saying goes, I naturally have to obey the orders of her parents, so I can't say that she doesn't like it. However, after getting married, Zhu Jing was very hard to do. I am very grateful to her. If you say love, it's all the literati and poets will talk about it when they are full. People like us who run around the world are either wind, rain or life and death. Just like just now, if there is no Taoist priest walking with us, we will really be here!"

Chen Qiao: "Brother Liu, don't be polite. Since you are the same, it is appropriate to support each other."

Master Liu smiled and said, "When I arrive at Jiankang, I have to invite the Taoist priest to have a meal, so don't refuse!"

Chen Qiao: "That's good. I'm not familiar with the place, so I have to rely on Brother Liu to give me more advice."

Master Liu: "It's good to be happy! To be honest, I saw that Taoist elder was weak and I was afraid that you would just take a sword as decoration like those scholars, but I didn't expect that, tsk, your skills are probably even better than my master!"

Chen Qiao: "Brother Liu has been awarded too much."

Master Liu: "Since I don't treat the Taoist priest as an outsider, I'll just say it straightforwardly. In fact, it's a joke. The little lady of the Li family is deeply in love with the Taoist priest. This is a good choice. The world is chaotic nowadays, and the Taoist priest is enough to protect himself. Instead of wandering alone in the world, it's better to marry the little lady of the Li family. With the help of the Li family's wealth, even if she can't be a hero, she is at least a rich man with no worries about food and clothing!"

Chen Qiao was amused and laughed: "Brother Liu misunderstood. I don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Li Xiaoma. I already have something in my heart. But I was confused before and I didn't even think about it carefully. I was just a blow to Li Xiaoma and realized my thoughts."

Master Liu suddenly realized: "So that's it, no wonder you asked me that way! I wonder how this sweetheart, Chang, is in love with Taoist priest?"

Chen Qiao frowned slightly: "...He pressed hard first, but I had to step back step by step, and then he seemed angry."

Master Liu was shocked: "Women are much bolder than men these days!"

He thought again, this chariot is so graceful and has great martial arts skills, no wonder the woman fell in love with her. The little lady of the Li family has never met many times and stayed in the carriage every day. Didn’t she just jump out to block the arrows without even caring about her own life?

After all, Master Liu was a veteran and began to give advice to Chen Qiao: "A woman has always been shy and rarely shows her feelings to you, but you refuse to accept it. If you have a thin-skinned person, you will definitely have no face to come to you again. If you can take the initiative to find her, everything will naturally be solved!"

Chen Qiao's mouth twitched: "That man's face... is actually not very thin."

Liu Boxingmaster smiled and said, "It's better to do it, so I'll just say that with the Taoist priest's appearance, the other party must have agreed shyly and timidly. Then, just ask the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose marriage!"

Chen Qiao sighed, "He is arrogant and he is afraid that he will not bow his head easily after being frustrated."

Liu Boxingshi: "This is not easy. Everyone must have something to like. If you want to give her something to you, you will naturally speak out!"

Chen Qiao asked for advice humbly: "I would like to ask Brother Liu to teach me."

Liu Boxingshi: "I'll give you some hairpins. My daughter's family doesn't like those jewelry the most. She likes quaint ones, so you can give peach wood hairpins or jade hairpins. If you like fancy ones, you can give gold, silver and gemstones. Keep one for each one to save!"

Chen Qiao thought that Yan Wushi's clothes should be taken care of, even if a hairpin on his head was an ordinary person's expense for a year, he did not have any special preferences, so he shook his head: "He doesn't care much about these ornaments."

Master Liu frowned: "What about food? Should you like food, clothing, housing and transportation?"

Chen Qiao thought for a while and hesitated: "He likes... Sugar Man?"

But that was what Xie Ling liked.

Does Yan Wushi also like to eat candy people? Chen Qiao imagined the appearance of Master Yan licking candy people with a arrogant and domineering expression, and his expression immediately became very strange.

Liu Yiwei was also very surprised: "Is the sugar man the child likes to eat?"

Immediately, I felt relieved and gave an explanation that I thought was very reasonable: "Is the Taoist Master's sweetheart not old?"

Chen Qiao coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty: "That's all."

Liu Boxingxin said that this look is indeed quite attractive to the young lady. Not only did Miss Li meet a few times before she was fascinated by the fact that she was so obsessed with her.

"That's even better. You're young and have less experience. You can make her happy with just a few words. Master Chen, since I'm interested and you have invited me, why didn't you ask what the little lady you like? "

Chen Qiao actually knew it, but it was useless to know it: "...He seems to like practicing martial arts the most and compete with others."

There are many women in the world who are obsessed with practicing martial arts, and Master Liu is not surprised: "With Taoist master's martial arts, it must be more than enough to guide her."

Chen Qiao touched his nose: "I can't beat him."

Master Liu was shocked. Women these days are too fierce. No wonder Master Chen repeatedly refused before, and he would not dare to marry such a tigress!

"Then, then..." He was a little exhausted, "Anyway, you can try every method. The ancients said that sincerity comes from, metal and stone are always reasonable. Since she is interested in you, even if the things you give are not in line with her wishes, she can still know your wishes."

Chen Qiao also knew that he couldn't ask anything again: "Thank you, Brother Liu, you've been taught."

Seeing that although he was very skilled in martial arts, he knew nothing about this, he gave a lot of advice, and even said that he had walked in the boudoir with his wife in the daytime: "Don't look at those women who are more dignified than the other one outside, but when they close the door, no one sees them, what's the harm if you are arrogant? This life is only a few decades, and it's not easy to meet a sweet person, so you have to cherish it!"

Chen Qiao held back his laughter: "Okay, I'll write it down."

At this time, everyone had already cleaned up. In order to go to the town ahead to rest as soon as possible, everyone speeded up their journey. Chen Qiao and Liu Mass Master were at the end and broke the carriage behind.

As they galloped all the way, the wind was loud and no one could care about talking anymore. Naturally, they didn't know that there was another whisper in the carriage.

The lady Li, who was supposed to be unconscious, woke up moaned and asked the person next to her: "Look at how I did just now?"

The Li family lady said truthfully: "It's a little exaggerated."

Li Xiaomao gave her a blank look: "In order to wake up Taoist Master Chen, I have really made a tough plan. If I could enlighten Master Chen this time, my injury would not be in vain!"

The wife of the Li family said sympathetically: "It's hard for you, and I have to really suffer this arrow!"

Li Xiaozi cried and said, "No, it hurts me so much, but Master Chen is so powerful. If I don't pretend to be true, what should he do if he sees it!"

The wife of the Li family comforted and said, "Forget it, you know that this is a task. The better the completion, the better we will naturally be. The generous sect leader will definitely not give you a generous reward."

Everyone was still scared when the robbers robbed the story, and they wanted to rush to the town immediately to avoid being robbed again.

Due to the injury of Li Xiaoma, everyone stopped in the town for several days. Two or three meals a day and accommodation were also a considerable expense. The Li family was very prosperous and did not take this little money in mind. The Li family’s wife was even more generous to make money for her daughter to rest for a few more days. Even Chen Qiao was thanked for repelling the bandits. The Li family’s wife did not blame him for hurting her daughter and being sad, and even forced Chen Qiao to make a lot of money.

Hurry up and the group finally arrived in Jiankang City half a month later.

After entering the city, the mother and daughter of the Li family also found relatives. Everyone should have parted ways, but Liu's escort was very enthusiastic and pulled Chen Qiao around Jiankang City to give him some advice. He invited him to have a meal and told him about the address of his home. He agreed that Chen Qiao would come to visit him in the future, so he said goodbye and left.

After saying goodbye to Liu's escort, Chen Qiao came to Baimen Temple, which he had mentioned before, and planned to stay for a while, but just happened to catch up with the imperial envoy to Xuanshou to summon the master of Dedao into the palace. Seeing that Chen Qiao was not as handsome as he was, the other party came forward to ask about his origin. Chen Qiao answered one by one, and his statement was exactly the same as that of Liu's escort.

The angels were eager to collect enough people requested by the emperor, so naturally they would not interrogate them in detail, not to mention that many people were easily influenced by appearances, and Chen Qiao's appearance was clearly in line with everyone's definition of "gods and immortals".

"Master, can you ask, is your way to refine alchemy?"

Chen Qiao originally wanted to say no, but he was about to say it, and he moved his heart and turned a corner: "I am practicing the path of sentient beings. I can only know the reason for the alchemy, but I don't know the reason. I still have some experience in observing people's faces."

When the angel heard that he didn't know how to refine elixirs, he was a little disappointed. When he heard the appearance, he was happy again: "So, the Taoist priest can also divine good or bad luck?"

Chen Qiao was humble: "I know a little bit."

Angel: "Your Majesty is now looking for Taoist sects, and wants to be guided by Taoist masters. I don't know if you want to follow me to come to the palace to meet the saint. If you are in line with the saint's will, you will be rich and powerful even if you can't imagine it!"

Chen Qiao came to Chen State to get close to the new Lord Chen State and see how this king is compared to Yang Jian. Unexpectedly, someone gave him a pillow as soon as he was dozing off. He was not familiar with Ru Yan Kehui, so he missed this time, and it would not be easy to find such an open and upright saint.

Now that he has entered the world to practice, he knows some human nature and worldly ways. If he rashly agrees, he will not only fail to show his master's style, but will also make the other party look down upon.

So he hesitated: "I made a vow in front of the Taoist ancestor and recited the Taoist sutras several times a day. Today's practice has not been completed. It seems that the fate with Your Majesty has not arrived, so it will be a day before it comes."

The Confucian Sect had a great influence in the Chen Dynasty, so there was not much Taoist temple in Jiankang City. The Baimen Sect was not conspicuous among several Taoist temples. After being suppressed for so long, the Taoist priests were extremely excited when they heard the emperor's summons, and their faces were full of red light. Only the new Taoist priest who came to live in a guest acted calmly.

The angel really looked at him with a high look, and even the Taoist priest in Baimen Temple advised him: "Fellow Taoist should agree. After all, you are in Baimen Temple. If Your Majesty is angry and pursued, we will be in trouble!"

Chen Qiao then sighed: "Then please ask the angel to lead the way."

The court summoned Taoist priests, but it was not Chen Qiao who summoned him alone. Chen Qiao agreed and his name was registered. Three days later, the angels gathered almost a dozen Taoist priests who seemed to be in line with the conditions, Chen Qiao and two Taoist priests from Baimen Temple, and then they entered the palace under the leadership of the envoys in the palace.

The Chen Palace is not much larger than the Sui Palace, but its gorgeousness is even more exquisite, showing the beauty of Jiangnan. Many Taoists have never seen such luxury in their lives. Even if they try their best to suppress it, they will inevitably show surprise in their eyes.

Chen Qiao and the other two entered the palace and were led to the Wangxian Palace.

There were eight seats on both sides of the left and right, and there were almost all the people. The three left that were closest to the door were naturally left for Chen Qiao and the others.

Chen Qiao had no intention of competing with the Taoist priests in Baimenguan for order, so he gave the first two to them, and sat alone at the closest to the door, which won the two of them's gratitude.

The farthest from the door, of course, means the least valued.

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty has not arrived, please be careful and do not make noise."

The Taoist priests naturally did not dare to make noise, but it was inevitable that they would whisper. Chen Qiao's eyes swept around casually. When his eyes fell on one of them, his hair immediately stood up, almost thinking that he was dazzled.

The man originally closed his eyes and pretended to sleep without communicating with others. He looked lonely, but now he just opened his eyes and looked at Chen Qiao.

The eyes were facing each other, and the other party turned to another place as if nothing had happened.
