"Although this Mr. Fu has a righteous deed, he is capable and responsible, but his knowledge is a bit so-so."
Chen Shi stayed at Wencai Academy for the night, and Hu Feifei, who was also from the countryside, also stayed. It was still early to go to bed now, and the two of them made some money, so they met to go to the night market.
The night market in Xinxiang County is even more lively than during the day. The streets are full of people, and there are various stalls on both sides, frying and cooking all kinds of delicacies. Chen Shi, Hu Feifei and Hei Guo were eating all the way, carrying all kinds of food in their hands. If they couldn't fit it all in, Hei Guo stood up and helped with the food.
"Brother Chen, don't you think your dog is a little strange?"
Hu Feifei glanced back and saw the dog walking backwards in two directions. It was taller than normal people, walked more steadily than normal people, and it didn't look like a dog when it carried things.
Chen Shi looked back and didn't feel anything was abnormal. He said, "Don't you also walk on two legs? What's so strange?"
Hu Feifei was dumbfounded and speechless.
After walking around for a while, they stumbled toward the academy.
Chen Shi became more and more puzzled and asked: "Feifei, where is the godmother in the city?"
He had been looking for the godmother in Xinxiang County after entering the city, but after wandering for so long, he still could not find the godmother.
Hu Feifei was as if she was pregnant for ten months, holding her waist with one hand and carrying food in the other, walking hard, shaking her head and saying: "There are no godmothers in the county and provincial capitals."
Chen Shi was puzzled: "Without a godmother, how can we drive away evil spirits? Aren't evil spirits able to enter the city if they want to?"
Hu Feifei said: "Although there is no godmother, there is a magic weapon to guard the county. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is such a magic weapon. This treasure protects the county. Whenever an evil spirit approaches, the Ten Thousand Souls Flag will automatically burst out with power and kill the evil spirit. The Thousand Souls Flag is extremely ancient. The Ten Thousand Souls Banner in Xinxiang County has a history of thousands of years, and the ghosts inside are also extremely powerful. Without that The evil spirit can compete with it. As time goes by, more and more evil spirits die, and no evil spirit dares to approach the county."
"That's it."
Chen Shi suddenly realized, and said: "But why did the two evil spirits, the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife, enter the county town and not die under the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"
Hu Feifei was stumped by him, shook her head and said, "I don't know about this either. The leader of my Fox clan is also evil, but he has entered the city many times, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has no reaction. The leader is too highly cultivated and can conceal his aura, but Magistrate Geng doesn't have the ability of the patriarch, so why can he enter the city?"
Chen Shi asked: "Do you think Magistrate Geng was tricked? If the evil spirit eats it, the evil spirit becomes the evil spirit, or is the evil spirit the evil spirit?” I couldn't move anymore. Find a place to sit and eat." Chen Shi looked around and saw a guardrail by the river, so he sat on the guardrail with her.
Hu Feifei was very lazy and leaned on his shoulder.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly and said: "Feifei, it's dark now, where is your hairpin? Is it really glowing?"
Huch Feifei was full of energy. She took out the hairpin from her head, covered it with both hands, and said with a smile, "Look at it."
Chen Shi came forward and said in surprise: "It really shines."
Hu Feifei was very proud, biting her hairpin, twirling her hair with both hands, protecting her hair with one hand, inserting the hairpin with the other, and said with a smile: "My hairpin has talismans engraved in it, and it absorbs sunlight during the day. It will be released at night, Twinkle. Brother Chen, do you have any interesting stories? "
Chen Shi told her interesting stories about himself in the mountains, which always made the fox giggle and shout, "My stomach hurts from laughing if I don't listen to you. Please rub it for me."
Chen Shi helped her rub her belly, and as expected, she felt a little relieved from laughter. It warmed her belly, the anger ran away, and the pain stopped.
The two rested for a long time before getting up and returning to the academy.
Fu Leisheng was waiting for them. When he saw them returning, he said: "I want to search for Miaowei-Shu·wu, tangsanbooks.com to watch the full version of Above the Road, go home and have a rest, and you two will live in the college for one night. Chen Shi, the true god descends and needs a boy's body, so that the primordial yang does not leak. You must remember it."
He meant a lot, Chen Shi was awe-inspiring.
Carefully try to figure out the meaning of his words.
Fu Leisheng left.
The two rested for a while, then went to clean up and clear out the sleeping area. After all, this is a college, where students attend classes and attend lectures. There are no beds and they can only make beds on the floor.
Chen Shi took the bedding from the wooden cart, gave half to Hu Feifei, and kept half for himself.
The two of them said good night to each other and got into bed.
The dog was standing outside, and the crickets were heard chirping, but other than that, there was no other sound.
The noisy night market in the county town seemed to be getting further and further away from them.
Hu Feifei crawled out of bed and said with a smile: "I can't sleep, Brother Chen, please tell me about the things in the mountains. I practice with the sisters of the Fox clan and rarely go into the mountains."
Chen Shi sat up and told her various stories about Qianyang Mountain, the strange rules in the mountain, the spirits guarding the mountain, the big snake Xuanshan, the six-thousand-year-old Granny Zhuang, and many naughty porcelain dolls.
Hu Feifei moved the quilt closer to him, got into the quilt, and leaned sideways to listen to him.
Eyes shining in the dark night.
"Brother Chen, what do you want to do after taking the exam?"
Himeizi asked.
"What to do?"
Chen Shi was a little confused. He thought about it carefully. His purpose in taking the exam at the beginning was to become a civil servant, return to his hometown, be a master, and live among the villagers, so that his grandfather could rest in peace in his old age.
But now my grandpa has gone to the underworld and I don’t know when he will come back.
Now, taking the exam seems like a long-cherished wish that he wants to fulfill.
"After I pass the exam, I want to return to my hometown and be a master, so that I can justifiably oppress the villagers."
"Chen Shi said: "What about you?"
Hu Feifei put both hands on her chest, grabbed the edge of the quilt, her eyes were bright, and she smiled: "My purpose in taking the exam is to find a scholar who is pleasing to my eyes, and develop a heart-warming love affair with him."
Chen Shi asked: "What are you looking for? "Are you there yet?"
"Not yet!"
Hu Feifei felt a little lonely and said, "We are all little kids in the academy who are still young, and none of them can catch the eye of a girl. When I pass the exam, there will definitely be better scholars."
They were talking about the future. Unknowingly, Hu Feifei's voice became lower and lower, and she slowly fell asleep.
When Chen Shi saw this, he also shrank into bed, and within a moment, he fell asleep.
The day for the county examination has finally arrived.
The county examination will be held in the Confucian Temple in the county town, where Confucius is enshrined.
The area against the wall was divided into compartments one after another. Students from private schools in all towns and villages in Xinxiang County rushed to the Confucian Temple.
There are hundreds of people in the county town alone, and even more in the town, hundreds of people, and even gray-haired old men, also come to the Confucian Temple to take the county examination.
The first session is the literary test.
Chen Shi and the students from Wencai Academy were separated into different compartments. After everyone was seated, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were distributed to prevent them from cheating.
The examiner was Tian Huaiyi as Fu Leisheng said. He was an unsmiling young official. He first offered sacrifices to his wife, then to Wenchang, and then announced the formal opening of the exam.
institutions | Sacrifice the mirror and check the hair. "
I saw two examiners working together to lift a huge mirror, as tall as one person, with a stick of incense in front of the mirror, passing by each cubicle.
The incense burns, and the aroma floats towards the mirror. The mirror seems to have a spirit, absorbing the scent of the incense and emitting an orange-orange light, which is very soft.
Suddenly, the two examiners paused and glanced at the Yamen servant on the side.
The two depressions immediately stepped forward and came to the cubicle.
The students in the cubicle were frightened and screamed, but they still couldn't help but write like the wind and kept writing.
The two men suppressed a sneer and pulled off the student's black hat.
I saw a white-haired mouse about three to four inches tall sitting on the student's head, holding a slender brush and a drawing board with paper in front of him.
This white-haired mouse is concentrating on writing rapidly and eloquently. What he writes is the explanation of the test questions.
Whatever it writes, the student will write.
When the white-haired mouse was discovered, he hurriedly dropped the brush and ran away. But where is it too late?
Handled by the depression on the left.
Another depression brought the student to the examiner Tian Huaiyi.
Tian Huaiyi glanced at the white-haired mouse and sneered: "It turns out to be a search for Miao·wei-bookstore, tangsanbooks.com to see the full version of Above the Road, Zhi Shu. If you dare to cheat here, you are so brave, drag him down and reward him with ten big boards."
The government officials dragged the student down.
The two examiners still held up the mirror and continued to shine.
Chen Shi was sitting in the cubicle, inexplicably excited: "A man who is about to die can also speak well. Zhu Xiucai has talked about this test question more than once. It is a test question that I am very good at."
He wrote like a master, and quickly finished the two-hundred-word essay, and then wrote his name and the academy from which he came. After blowing the ink dry, he stood up and handed in the paper.
At this time, other students are still immersed in writing, some are thinking hard about how to write, and some have not yet handed in their papers.
Tian Huaiyi was surprised when he saw that he was the first to hand in the paper. He took the test paper, glanced at the academy, and said with a smile: "This is my mentor's literary academy. My mentor is devoted to knowledge, and it seems that he has a good disciple."
Other examiners complimented: "Famous teachers produce good disciples, but how could they teach talented people like Master Tian back then?"
As Tian Huaiyi continued reading, the smile on his face became stiffer and stiffer. He suddenly closed the examination paper, took a long breath, and calmed down.
“Are the disciples of my mentor a bandit?”
He thought secretly in his heart.
"No, I have to meet my mentor. It's a serious matter. If I behead, my mentor and I may be hurt."
Chen Shi walked out of the Confucian Temple. Fu Leisheng was waiting outside. When he saw Chen Shi coming out, he was not surprised and hurriedly greeted him.
"Chen Shi, you came out so soon? How did you do in the exam?"
Chen Shi was quite proud and said with a smile: "I'm familiar with Confucius' classics, and I can't do it easily in this county exam."
Fu Leisheng was about to ask what he was writing. Suddenly, a bright red ray of light fell straight from the sky and fell straight into the Confucian Temple, and a fragrant fragrance filled the air.
Chen Shi's heart was pounding as he stared at the straight ray of light.
The aroma in the air is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes people feel ecstatic when smelling it.
Shensheng, the full name is the true god’s descent.
The young monks in the shrine realm, after building the shrine, will hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the heaven. When the true god outside the sky receives the breath of incense, he will send down the rays of light and bestow the divine fetus.
Once the divine fetus enters the main shrine, the monk officially enters the realm of the divine fetus, with the possibility of impacting the next realm and condensing the golden elixir.
However, the divine descendants only appear after the sacrifices in the county examinations. During the major examinations, it is extremely rare for the divine descendants to appear out of thin air.
There is no need for a big sacrifice, and the gods come out of thin air. They are often people with great talents and prosperous literary fortunes.
Fu Leisheng murmured: "Who is this person?"
As he said this, someone suddenly came in a hurry and leaned over and said, "Mr. Fu, Mr. Tian invites you."
Fu Leisheng heard this and quickly followed the man and entered the temple through the back door of the Confucian Temple.
Tian Huaiyi was already waiting at the back door. He ignored the greetings when they met and said quickly: "Teacher, something big happened in Wencai Academy. Rebels and geniuses are all in Wencai Academy."
Fu Leisheng was surprised and happy, and asked hurriedly.
Tian Huaiyi said: "The name of Shen Yusheng is a student from the Wencai Academy in the night market where the true god has descended. This son searches - search for `Miaowei-bookstore, tangsanbooks.com to see the full version of Above the Avenue. He was favored by the true god in the literary examination and was given a divine fetus. He is not yet here. I know what level it is. But it will definitely not be lower than the second level. This is a genius. Congratulations to the teacher. As for the rebel. He took out Chen Shi's paper and handed it to Fu Leisheng."
Fu Leisheng glanced at it.
"This is to send me to walk on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."
Tian Huaiyi hurriedly said: "Teacher, what should I do?"
Fu Leisheng gritted his teeth and said: "I will write one for him. No matter what, I can't bring trouble to the academy."
Tian Huaiyi hesitated and said, "My teacher will write it for him. He will definitely be a scholar. If he is a scholar, he will take the examination in the autumn. When the examination comes to the provincial capital, won't it cause an even bigger fuss?"
Fu Leisheng quickly took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said: "After he is selected as a scholar, I will kick him out of the Wencai Academy. When the exam comes, no matter how much trouble he causes, it will have nothing to do with our Wencai Academy."
Tian Huaiyi lowered his voice and shouted: "Teacher, this is fraud."
"Cheating is better than tens of thousands of soul flags. If he turns in his paper, he might even implicate you."
