Chapter 23 Thank you, Sir, for your Great kindness
This discovery greatly surprised Chen Changsheng.
He thought to himself that perhaps it was because this hair was his own that he couldn't see anything. The saying "It's just because I'm in this mountain" might mean this.
Chen Changsheng looked at that hair again.
Then why is there magic power in my hair?
Chen Changsheng was surprised and then thought, "Is it the same for every hair?"
He thought for a moment and then pulled out another one from his head.
Just as before, he cast another spell.
"By borrowing the Dharma, the oil swells and the fire burns!"
Chen Changsheng held his hair and gently tapped the oil lamp.
A golden light gushed out from the hair and fell into the oil lamp. Then it was seen that the oil in the oil lamp rose in the blink of an eye.
Chen Changsheng opened his mouth, feeling somewhat incredulous.
Where did you come from?
Where do all these magical powers come from?
He has never refined his qi or essence. So where does the magical power come from in his hair?
Chen Changsheng was completely puzzled.
The only explanation, perhaps, is that these magical powers themselves have existed in his hair since the very beginning.
Is it a welfare for time travelers?
Chen Changsheng shook his head, but still felt it was not very realistic.
Perhaps things...
It's not as simple as he imagined.
But given the current situation, it's probably impossible to figure out the reason. We'll have to wait and see.
Chen Changsheng sighed, looked at the hair in his hand and murmured, "Then won't I have to pull my hair out frequently in the future? Do it a few more times. Won't I go bald then..."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache.
He rubbed his forehead and stopped thinking about these things.
"Whatever. Learning magic is still more important."
Chen Changsheng picked up the book placed on the ground and then continued reading with the candle flame.
This look lasted the whole night.
The chirping of insects in the mountains at night never ceases. After dark, the chirping of cicadas and grasshoppers never stops for a moment, reverberating throughout the night.
At the fourth watch of the night, the little junior sister, Zisu, came out to relieve herself. When she came back, she saw that the light was on in the library.
She, who was still a little unconscious at first, was scared awake.
Zisu calmed her mind for a moment and then set off towards the library.
Looking inside through the crack of the door.
"It's the gentleman in the daytime..."
Zisu saw Chen Changsheng sitting on the ground, reading a book by the candlelight, and seemed particularly absorbed in it.
She pursed her lips and found this gentleman particularly strange.
I didn't sleep at night and actually read books here.
Zisu didn't dare to look much either. After withdrawing her gaze, she went back to her room.
After returning to bed, I lay down and fell asleep.
...
"Oh oh oh -"
At the foot of the mountain, the crowing of roosters rang out. The sky was overcast, and on the distant mountains, the outline of the rising sun could be faintly seen.
In June, fog should be rarely seen, but today, it was rare to see layers of thick fog. Dew could also be seen condensing and dripping on the leaves in the mountains.
Little junior sister Zisu got up the earliest because she had to get up early to cook for her master and senior brothers.
The pot was boiling rice porridge, but it was very thin. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to call it rice soup. There were also some wild vegetables, all picked from the mountains yesterday, and some mushrooms. After being cooked in the pot, they were enough for two bites.
After putting the rice in the pot, Zisu intended to wake up her senior brother and master for dinner.
The result was that the light in the library was still on.
Zisu was stunned for a moment and murmured, "No, I'm still watching..."
She went up to take another look and indeed saw that the gentleman was still flipping through a book.
Zisu thought for a moment and then knocked on the door of the library.
"Knock knock..."
Chen Changsheng, who was reading a book, came to his senses.
He paused for a moment, raised his head and looked outside. Through the window, Chen Changsheng could faintly see the rising sun.
"Sir, it's time for dinner!"
Chen Changsheng heard the sound coming from outside the door, so he put the book back and walked out.
"Creak."
The door of the library opens.
Before meeting the gentleman who was several feet taller than her, Zisu couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Perilla was on the verge of falling.
Chen Changsheng's heart paused for a moment, and a sudden thought came to his mind.
Zisu felt a force lift her back and steadied her figure.
Zisu was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look.
But no one was seen behind.
Chen Changsheng said, "Thank you for coming all the way to call Chen Mou. Is the meal ready?" Do you need Chen's help?
"Ang..."
Zisu came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "No need, no need. It'll be fine soon. Wait, when Master and senior brothers get up, we'll be able to have a meal."
Chen Changsheng nodded and agreed, "OK."
"Sir, go and sit in the courtyard first. It'll be fine in a moment."
"Ok."
Chen Changsheng stepped into the courtyard and found a stool to sit down on.
Perilla looked at that gentleman.
She couldn't help scratching her head, recalling what had just happened and muttering, "What a strange thing! I was clearly going to fall..."
Zisu shook her head. She just took it as her own illusion and didn't pay much attention to it.
After that, Xuan Huang and all his fellow disciples rose up.
The five disciples and master in the temple, along with Chen Changsheng, were crowded at a square table, which was obviously quite crowded.
Xuanhuang said, "It's just some simple food and tea. Sir, please don't mind."
Chen Changsheng said, "All grains and chaff are staple foods. Compared to delicacies from the mountains and the sea, Chen Mou still thinks these simple foods are much more refreshing and there's no need to mind them."
That's good.
After hearing the conversation between the master and the master, the second senior brother, Shang Lu, also mentioned it to his senior brother in his spare time after the meal.
"Senior brother, this great master speaks very differently. He must be a person with profound knowledge."
Chang Shan said, "It should be a scholar."
Perhaps it's a teacher? Xuanshen said.
At this moment, Zisu recalled what had happened last night and said, "I saw this gentleman reading in the library in the middle of the night last week. It seemed that he had been reading all night."
"All night?"
"Um."
Zisu nodded and said, "I heard from Xiao Liu at the foot of the mountain that the scholars in the workshop are so devoted to their studies that they forget to eat and sleep. This great master can stay up all night. He must be very remarkable."
"Really..."
Shang Lu couldn't help feeling a bit impressed and also developed a greater respect for this gentleman in his heart.
After the meal, Chen Changsheng played chess with Xuanhuang in the pavilion at the back of the mountain.
Xuanhuang asked, "What do you think of my disciples, Sir?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Changshan is well-versed in propriety and numerology, and Zisu is virtuous and capable. The other two have had little contact, so there is no definite conclusion yet."
Xuanhuang nodded and said, "In fact, Xuanhuang knows that it's hard for him to have a karmic connection with immortals in this life. Even if he knows that immortals are in front of him, he still feels that's the case. But he has only one wish: to plead with you, Sir."
Chen Changsheng put the chess piece in his hand back into the altar and looked at him.
Xuanhuang said, "If any of these four disciples can catch your eye, I hope you can give them a little care."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "I thought it was such a big deal."
Chen Mou might stay here from time to time in the future. Since he has borrowed a place, it's natural for him to take care of them.
Xuanhuang felt as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart.
Xuanhuang thanked the four of them, Sir, for their great kindness.
