Chapter 189: The eternal night is coming
There is one new Jieyuan in each province every three years. In any case, it is impossible to say that the governor, the general in charge and other officials will be honored by passing the exam. At most, they will receive him and give him a word of encouragement. But now, the governor, general in charge and other officials of Xinduo Province have actually come to Duoxia in person, visited his door, and congratulated Chen Shi
This scene made the village The people here were shocked and confused, and they were confused.
Isn’t Chen Daguan about to lose his job? Why did he win the exam in the blink of an eye, but he is still ranked first in Gongzhou Province?
The key is that he didn’t take the Qiuwei exam, so why did he get the first place?
Li Tianqing was refining alchemy in the Chen Shi courtyard. Several official servants hurriedly entered the courtyard and saw that he was busy, so they did not disturb him.
In the past few days, Li Tianqing has refined more than fifty furnaces of Resurrection Pills, and he is already familiar with the journey. Although the voice of Chen Shi passing the imperial examination and the high school's Jie Yuan came from outside, it did not shake his soul at all. He still refined this furnace of Resurrection Pills with great composure, and then stood up.
"
Do you dare to ask if it is Chen Shi and Chen Jieyuan?"
An official saw that he was young and had extraordinary bearing, so he asked.
•ÃÃÃÃÃÃÃÃà â− â− â �The new governor's voice coming from outside, laughing and saying, “The official and others are waiting for Mr. Chen outside.
Li Tianqing was surprised, walked out of Chen's house, bowed and said: "Li Tianqing has met the governor, met all of you."
The new governor looked him up and down and said: "You are Li Tianqing from the Li family in Quanzhou
I heard that you were the lucky star of the Li family. No one on the stone ship was missing but you were the only one who survived.
I also heard about the murder of Mr. Li Xiaozheng. It's a shame.
My surname is Xu, my given name is Jian, my courtesy name is Zhongxiao.
This is Mr. Cui, who is responsible for the mobilization of the border troops in Xinduo Province.
He introduced them one by one, and Li Tianqing came forward to see them.
These newly appointed Xinxiang officials often came from the Thirteenth Family, but four of them did not come from the Thirteenth Family.
Li Tianqing is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Hearing the names of the four people, he knew that although they were not from the Thirteenth Family, they were also from a smaller family and were not white.
An official who was the academic officer of Xinxiang Province smiled and said: "Master Li, your Excellency is also on the list of Gongzhou Qiuwei, which is a good ranking.
Your Excellency is ranked fourth as Jingkui.
/>
"
Li Tianqing didn't take it seriously and said: "How are these candidates ranked?
Ti Xueguan smiled and said: "Of course it was arranged by Xijing.
The one in front of you is Chen Jieyuan, the second is Yan Yayuan, and the third is Xu Jingkui.
His Excellency’s ranking as fourth is all because of the Li family’s reputation in Quanzhou.
Congratulations to Li Jingkui!
When Li Tianqing heard this, he knew that the list of Gongzhou candidates was arranged according to the thirteenth family.
He was not sure why Chen Shi was ranked before the Thirteenth Family. At this time, Chen Shi returned from stealing melons, holding two round watermelons in his arms, which were brought to Li Tianqing and Heiguo.
Governor Xu Jian quickly led the crowd to greet him and said with a smile: "Chen Jieyuan, the lower official has come to say congratulations. Congratulations to your Excellency on your high school's Jieyuan!
Other officials also came forward to congratulate. Chen Shi was so shocked that he looked at the two Handed a watermelon to Li Tianqing
After everyone explained the matter clearly, he finally understood and said in horror: "The student has not written a word and has not made any achievements. How can he dare to be the Jieyuan of Gongzhou and Xinduo? I'm afraid, I'm afraid! I'm ashamed to kill you!"
Xinxiang Yushi Xia Mingdong smiled and said: "Hey, Chen Jieyuan has literary and military talents in Gongzhou and Xinduo for the first five hundred years and the next five hundred years. I won't be the second choice! You are Jieyuan, and you have the skills to recognize people in Xijing!
Everyone talks to each other, praising Chen Shi and praising his literary talents and martial arts. But Chen Shi knows that he himself Even though he didn't participate in the autumn riots, he was still praised by them.
Governor Xu Jian looked at Chen Shi's house and said, "Mr. Chen is living in a remote and poor place."
If Mr. Chen refuses to give it up, I will give it to him.
Chen Shi was about to refuse, but Xu Jian held his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, my house is abandoned. It's better to make use of it.
The so-called sword is given to a hero, your young hero, I wish I could make friends with you. I am willing to give you my wealth and life, not to mention a mere abandoned house
Mr. Cui smiled at the side and said: "
Exactly! Your Excellency's performance in Qiuwei astonished us. It allowed us to see what a gorgeous article is, and what is meant.
I have never been a womanizer. I had a few maids and singers at home who were pretty pretty, so I sent them to my house.
Mr. Gao smiled and said: "With maids and singers, how can we not have servants that can be used? I have a few people in my family who know how to read, and they are also sent to my house.
Master Ma also laughed and said: "I have always had a good appetite, and I happen to have a few good cooks at home. If Chen Jieyuan is used to eating new dishes, I will also send them to my house.
How can Chen Jieyuan not have a precious chariot when he travels? I have four good horses, which are dragon seeds, and they are sent to my house!
I have them at my house! There was a free Caiyun Chariot, which was a gift from a wealthy businessman in Lingnan. He had nothing to do at home, so he gave it to Chen Jieyuan!”

Bao Tixing even planned to give Chen Shi a farm, which was not big, with a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city, and hundreds of households of tenant farmers.
The annual rent alone is enough to support the house and the beautiful wife and concubine
"
Listen to me!
Chen Shi was so blocked that he could not speak, and suddenly said loudly, "I don't like this!< br/>
Everyone fell silent and looked at him, worried.
Chen Shi suddenly smiled and said, "But you are so disrespectful, so I had to accept it!"
Everyone laughed, and the guest of honor was enjoying himself.
Governor Xu chatted with Chen Shi again, and they were like old acquaintances for many years. Everyone was very satisfied after the conversation. Tao,
Everyone understood and said goodbye. Chen Shi sent them off diligently and sent them to the village entrance. Governor Xu quickly said: "Stay, stay."
Chen Shi stayed and waved goodbye, and everyone was reluctant to leave.
Send them off, Chen Shi returned home, Li Tianqing cleaned the alchemy furnace and prepared to continue refining alchemy. Seeing him return, he sneered: "
Chen Shi, I think highly of you. It turns out you are no different from these aristocratic families.
with with his love for money, lust, and love of luxurious things? You will be eroded by them and become a philistine like them!
Chen Shi said with a smile: "The Master of the Jade Hall said that you must adhere to this world and coexist with it.
/>
Isn’t what I am doing now attached to the world?
Li Tianqing said angrily: "The master of Yutang is paying tribute to the officials of Gongzhou to gain the chance of survival of Hongshan Hall! What about you? ?
Chen Shi tried his best and said: "
Many new officials paid tribute to me, are they not attached to this world?
Li Tianqing was heartbroken. Tao: "
You are not attached to this world, you are this world! You are collaborating with this world! Do you still have perseverance in your heart now? Do you still have principles? Master Yu Hall has perseverance and principles!
Chen Shi was sitting on a recliner, lying back, fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, and said with a smile: I took over their house, but I still killed them when it was time to kill them, so why didn’t I insist on being unprincipled? You think I won’t kill people after I took the money? I can’t beat them!”< br/>
"You!" Li Tianqing's eyes widened and he was speechless.
Chen Shi glanced at him and said with a smile: "
You still owe me forty-six furnaces of elixir, hurry up and make the elixir!
Li Tianqing responded and went to refine alchemy honestly.
During this period, his alchemy skills have improved greatly, and the resurrecting elixirs he refined are getting higher and higher. He feels that the price he is asking for for ten taels of silver for a furnace of elixirs is a bit too low.
However, Mr. Chen Dashan has already ordered a hundred furnaces of elixir from him. Even if he wants to increase the price, he has to finish refining the hundred furnaces of elixir.
Not long after, Governor Xu and others sent someone to deliver the title deed to the mansion in the provincial capital. Chen Shi accepted it, but did not go to live in the provincial capital. Instead, he stayed in Huangpo Village.
He didn’t recognize anyone in the city, but at home there were Zhu Xiucai, his godmother and the lovely villagers of Huangpo Village.
Just because the dogs were running around every day, there was no room in the city.
Governor Xu saw that he had not gone to live in the city for a long time, so he let the maids and singers live in the house. On this day, Chen Shi was practicing the Sanguang Zhengqi Jue as usual, and suddenly the elixir in his body turned from black to yellow, from black elixir to yellow elixir, and he felt happy.
"
I finally broke through to the fifth level of the Golden Elixir. Without a superior spirit, I was still a few days behind Li Tianqing.
Just three days ago, Li Tianqing had already cultivated the fifth level of the Golden Elixir. Chen Shi could only catch up with the progress of the Purple Jade Divine Embryo when there were spirits on both shrines in the small temple. Now that one of the shrines is empty, his cultivation speed is not as fast as Li Tianqing
Where to catch a powerful evil spirit 10000
While he was thinking, suddenly the black pot started shouting. Chen Shi was slightly moved and looked up at the sky, only to see fire flowing in the sky, and the sun was slowly closing his eyes
"It's dark, it's early again!
Chen Shi was startled and stood up from under the old willow tree. He saw villagers working outside the village carrying hoes and other farm tools, running all the way to the village.
It was getting dark again, a quarter of an hour earlier!
Chen Shi looked up and saw that the crescent moon above the two suns had become larger than before.
His heart was pounding, and he had a not so good idea,
"If, what if one day, the sun closes its eyes forever, no matter the day
Dark and night, there is only the moon, what will happen?
Since the first early darkening, a total of three similar celestial phenomena have occurred. A total of three quarters of an hour earlier.
Although darkness has arrived three quarters of an hour earlier, day has not arrived earlier
In other words, the night has been extended by three quarters of an hour.
"At that time, was the disaster that occurred a disaster or a disaster? Or was it the end of the world?
Chen Shi shook his head and pushed the ominous thought out of his mind
But a sense of urgency arose, and he felt that eternal night might become a reality at some point in the future.
If he cannot improve his cultivation as soon as possible, he is afraid that eternal night will fall, and he will have no possibility of survival!
The true god of heaven is the greatest disaster! His transformations are often at the level of annihilation!"
He thought secretly in his heart.
Although the darkening was only a quarter of an hour earlier this time, which may not seem like a long time, the impact it brought was huge.
The days are shortened, the nights are lengthened, evil spirits are more active, and even the invasion of monsters in the dark sea is more ferocious than before.
When Chen Shi went to the county town with the refined rejuvenation pill to sell medicine, he heard the news that monsters had landed and attacked the Xinduo Province Border Guard Station.
There is also news that monsters broke through the guardhouse and entered the villages and towns, killing many people.
Furthermore, the intensity of the moonlight is also rising, and the moon is brighter than before. The evil energy in the moon greatly enhances the strength of evil spirits, and the corpses transform into evil faster!
It’s okay in Qianyang Mountain, with Chen Shi in charge, but occasionally there are still evil spirits passing by who do evil.
Out of Qianyang Mountain, there were more incidents of evil spirits.
For a time, people in the city and in many fields were panicked.
Li Tianqing was refining elixirs at home, while Chen Shi was walking around the streets with a black pot, selling talismans in villages and towns, and killing evil spirits.
Every time he slays evil spirits and eliminates evil spirits, he only charges five taels of silver, which is a very low price.
He has sold a lot of Resurrection Pills now, and he is not short of these few taels of silver. The main reason is that he can't let his relatives be killed by evil spirits before he preys on his fellow villagers.
On this day, Chen Shi was walking in front, Heihei Guo was sitting in the wooden cart, and the wooden cart followed Chen Shi into Xianghe Town.
This town is located in the southeast of Qianyang Mountain. There is a fragrant river that originates from Qianyang Mountain and flows gracefully, flowing eastward into the sea.
Hsianghe Town is named after the river. There is a kind of sweet fish native to the town, which is said to be the baby of a monster in the sea. It is in the form of a fish. Every year at the autumnal equinox, the baby monster will swim upstream and follow the Xiang River into the Bingquan Bay of Qianyang Mountain to spend the winter and grow up there.
The next spring, they will swim down the river and return to the sea, turning into man-eating fish monsters in the dark sea.
Ayu has an excellent taste, with a peculiar aroma in the mouth. It is smooth and tender with no fish bones, and the fish meat is firm and elastic. It is very refreshing and is a favorite among gourmets.
When Chen Shi came to the town, it was just when the ayu was in season, and there was a fish fragrance in the air, which made people want to eat.
At this time, he saw a young monk holding a copper bowl and asking for alms from the shops along the street.
The young monk came, followed by a young girl, wearing a veil to cover her face.
That monk only asked for vegetarian food and did not eat meat.
"
Uncle, it’s time for dinner again!
Monk Wuchen was overjoyed. He walked out of a restaurant with a copper bowl and said with a smile, "The shop owner was kind and gave away steamed buns and flower rolls. The ones just came out of the pot were soft.
Hum Huh... Donor Chen!
He looked up and saw Chen Shi, he couldn't help but was startled, and hurriedly winked at Chen Shi, signaling him to run away quickly.
The voice of a young girl came and said with a smile: "
Donor Chen? Since we are here, why don't we have a meal together? Wuchen, you go and ask the shopkeeper for a share.
Chen Shi watched Monk Wuchen bravely walk into the restaurant, and sighed: "A master from the majestic Baoguo Temple was reduced to begging for food.
What do you call the girl?
"Ying Rumeng.
The young girl looked at him and said with a smile, "For the monks of Dabaoguo Temple, begging for alms is also a kind of practice.
Wu Zai lacked this kind of practice in the past, so he followed me to cultivate his mind.
Chen Shi turned around, faced her directly, and said in a deep voice: 「魔也修心么?
整晚没睡好，楼晃得跟随时要散架一样，楼下树木倒了一排排的，台风太可怕了。
还好，人平安就是断水了，
