Sui Dynasty Tianqi Mountains

In the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, Shu Mingxuan fought with those Five Elements Monsters here, obtained spirit beads, and sometimes excavated the Five Elements Stone.

Shu Mingxuan, who majored in fire-based attributes, what he currently has to do is to increase the damage and resistance of the fire, and at the same time increase the damage and resistance of the ice, thunder, and poison systems.

Shu Mingxuan's attack power is currently the dragon and lion seven stars, and the defense power is the dragon and lion five stars, after increasing the damage and resistance of various coefficients, every attack and every defense of his has a damage bonus or damage reduction for specific attributes.

......

After the experience of the Five Elements Heavenly Pass, Shu Mingxuan came to the inn to rest, and the innkeeper walked up to him: "This familiar young man, please help me go to the back mountain to get some venison back." ”

"So much venison, are you going to change the menu tomorrow?" Shu Mingxuan was a little puzzled.

"Hmph, the official in charge of the civil selection heard that he has arrived nearby, so I have to get ready quickly. The innkeeper's eyes lit up.

"Hopefully, I'm crooked, or do you want to pay a bribe?"

"It's so vulgar, I'm calling it self-recommendation, do you understand? Go get my venison first. ”

Shu Mingxuan had no choice but to hunt some elk and hand over the venison to the innkeeper.

"The local elk meat is delicious and absolutely excellent, and I believe that the officials will appreciate my 'heart'. The innkeeper laughed.

"Well, it's normal to send local specialties. ”

"I heard that the dragon boat guard will also take the opportunity to perform in the season, hmph, he doesn't even know what the local specialty is, and he dares to fight with me. ”

Shu Mingxuan told Zhi Chengji about this, and Zhi Chengji said disdainfully: "Elk meat? Such a shabby thing, he can give it away." ”

"Do you have any more powerful gifts?" Shu Mingxuan asked.

"I didn't have an idea yet, but your elk reminded me. ”

"You mean ......"

Zhi Chengji smiled: "Deer antler, help me cut ten catties." ”

Handing over the antler velvet to Zhi Chengji, Shu Mingxuan went to the inn again and told the innkeeper, who clapped his hands: "Deer antler, why didn't I think of it." ”

Shu Mingxuan: "Do you want to give something else, other people's gifts are much more advanced than yours." ”

At this moment, there was a noisy sound on the street, and someone was faintly heard shouting "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said".

The innkeeper looked outside: "It seems that some holy decree has been issued, you go and take a look." ”

On the street, Dugucheng was reading out the holy decree: "From today onwards, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system of officials selected by the Ministry of Officials will be abolished, the imperial examination system will be implemented, and everyone must pass the examination to be appointed." ”

Shu Mingxuan said secretly: "The imperial examination system, the innkeeper and Zhi Chengji are not busy in vain. ”

Shu Mingxuan followed Dugu Cheng back to the dragon boat, and when he saw Shu Mingxuan coming, Dugu Cheng said to him: "I heard a strange news just now, that someone killed a lot of elk, and as a result, he threw the venison and antler velvet to the suburbs. ”

Shu Mingxuan pretended to be thinking: "Let me guess, is there someone who killed a lot of river mussels, and then threw the mussel meat and pearls into the river?"

Dugu Cheng looked at Shu Mingxuan: "Yes, how do you know?"

Shu Mingxuan smiled: "It seems that those two people who couldn't pay bribes are angry, haha, it's okay, you can inform your subordinates that there is a free sea and land barbecue dinner tonight." ”

"By the way, I heard that there are two people here who are interested in entering the office, just this imperial examination, you go and help me test them, who can solve the puzzle first, send the corresponding items, and you can be shortlisted." As he spoke, he handed the exam questions to Shu Mingxuan.

The innkeeper frowned, "'What kind of books can't be bought in the bookstore?'......"

"Well, do you have an answer? Shu Mingxuan said.

The innkeeper took out a book and laughed: "It seems that my ancestors have accumulated virtue and passed on this "Sunflower Treasure Book" to me has finally come in handy!"

"Sunflower Treasure Book, you, shouldn't you have ......" Shu Mingxuan glanced at the innkeeper's part.

The innkeeper waved his hand: "I have been hesitating on the edge of whether to practice or not, and now I finally understand the true meaning of this book." Take it, give it to the examiner, the champion of the first imperial examination must be mine. ”

Subsequently, Shu Mingxuan found Zhi Chengji and told him the exam questions and the innkeeper's answers, and Zhi Chengji scoffed: ""Sunflower Treasure Book"? Hmph, there are three and a half books in a pirated bookstore, how can it be a book that can't be bought." ”

"What books do you know that you can't buy in a bookstore?"

"Hahaha, of course that's the secret book I've treasured for many years, I hid it on the osmanthus tree, you go find it. ”

Shu Mingxuan found a copy of "Intimate Heaven Hardcover" on the osmanthus tree, and then he took the two books back to hand it over.

""Sunflower Treasure Book"?"Intimacy Paradise?" The corner of Dugucheng's eyes twitched.

Shu Mingxuan raised his eyebrows: "From your stunned and surprised expression, I seem to see something." ”

"Ahem, it's really hateful to circulate such forbidden books in private, and I will confiscate these two books. ”

"Didn't they all pass the exam?" Shu Mingxuan asked.

"The imperial examination is a way for the country to select materials, how can it be passed so casually. ”

"So what is the correct answer?"

"What you can't buy in bookstores, of course, is suicide notes. Dugucheng said lightly.

"Oh, what a cold joke. ”

Dugucheng: "The country is not only based on knowledge, but also on talent and speculation. Tell those who don't make the list to come back next year. ”

......

After months of travel and experience, Shu Mingxuan came to the Tang Dynasty again.

The Tang Dynasty in history stood for 289 years, during which not only the first female emperor Wu Zetian appeared, but also created the most prosperous period in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even China during the Tang Xuanzong period. During the Tang Dynasty, its economy, society, culture, and art were characterized by diversification and openness.

......

"Hungry...... Hungry ......"

Xuanzang and his entourage had continued to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and when Shu Mingxuan came to Pansi Cave, he saw the spider spirit moaning.

"Ah, auntie, what do you keep calling 'goose goose goose'?" Shu Mingxuan stepped forward and asked.

The spider spirit said angrily: "It's not all you, let Tang Seng go, and now I'm about to starve to death......"

"Is there anything you can't eat?"

Isn't there a hundred-legged centipede's nest near Pansi Cave, so Shu Mingxuan went to kill a few and cut off the centipede's feet.

When the spider spirit saw Shu Mingxuan holding the centipede's foot closer, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Vomit...... Such a disgusting thing. ”

"Ahh Shu Mingxuan was a little puzzled.

The spider spirit glared at him: "You are discriminating against our elf profession Chiguoguo! As an idealistic and ambitious goblin, not everything can be casually stuffed into his mouth. ”

Shu Mingxuan: "Then what is the food that belongs to you, an ideal and ambitious goblin, can eat?"

Spider Essence: "For example, Tang monk meat, for example, Bodhi fruit." ”

Shu Mingxuan had no choice but to go all the way to Qingliang Mountain and collect a few Bodhi fruits on that Bodhi tree.

"It took 500 times to look back in the previous life in exchange for one pass in this life. Every time he collected it, this voice sounded in Shu Mingxuan's mind.

"After thinking about it, I still reported to you, I secretly picked the Bodhi fruit in your backyard. Shu Mingxuan found Manjushri and said.

"Good. The Bodhi fruit is the fruit of the undead who have not been transformed into karma in the mortal world, and if you pick one fruit, you will destroy a living being. Manjushri was very helpless.

Shu Mingxuan pursed his lips: "Isn't the Buddha saying that all living beings are equal." I can't watch the spider spirits starve to death......"

Manjushri Bodhisattva: "Legend has it that the Buddha was willing to cut the meat to feed the eagle in order to save the pigeon, and I am willing to follow the example of the ancestor to influence the spider spirit." ”

Shu Mingxuan frowned: "Is self-harm so fun?

Manjushri: "Help me find something sharp." ”

Shu Mingxuan: "Sharp thing...... Pregnant. ”

The piranha's teeth were very sharp, so Shu Mingxuan went to collect some.

Shu Mingxuan handed the tooth to Manjushri: "Bodhisattva, are you sure that you must and must cut it?" ”

"If I can influence the spider spirit to stop eating other living creatures, I will have no regrets about doing this. Manjushri said and laid his hands on himself.

Shu Mingxuan: "Hiss...... It hurts to look at it. ”

"Alright, help me bring it to the spider spirit. Manjushri wrapped the cut meat and handed it to Shu Mingxuan.

Back in the Pansi Cave, Shu Mingxuan handed the meat to the spider spirit and said, "This is the meat that the Bodhisattva cut off from himself in order to influence you. ”

"This ...... The Bodhisattva ......" The spider spirit looked at the flesh, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Be moved, tearful, hurry up and change to a vegetarian diet, so that the Bodhisattva will be rewarded for cutting meat. Shu Mingxuan said.

Spider Spirit: "I...... I've decided that I'll never kill any more creatures! ”

Shu Mingxuan went to collect some flowers from the other side and handed them to the spider spirit.

"Thank you. The spider spirit thanked him softly.

"I'm really not used to being so polite...... It seems that the bloody teachings are still more effective. Shu Mingxuan smiled.
