......

The birds flew high, and the lonely clouds went alone.

The craggy mountains and stones, thousands of feet of high cliffs, a dyed gold hall stands in it, in front of the Han jade white tile, the green trees are verdant, and countless talented and beautiful women dressed in white walk through it.

In front of the main hall, a huge black monument overlooks the mountain, and there are two gilded characters on it, "Heavenly Dao"!

"Miss, there's a message from the house!" In the backyard of the main hall, outside a quiet wooden attic, a girl wearing a long green dress and a green hosta on her head waited outside the gate with a cautious face.

"Say!" a crisp voice came from the attic, although there was only one word, but there was a feeling like a hundred birds singing in the ears.

"Ten days later, King Duan's twentieth birthday banquet, Hou Ye wants Miss to attend!" the girl replied immediately.

"No!" the voice from the attic came out again, still with only one word.

"Yes, miss!" the girl did not dare to ask more when she heard this, and retreated directly.

After the girl retreated, a slight sigh came from the attic: "Alas...... My father has always been too radical, and others say that I take the top spot of the Double Dragon list to help my father, who knows, the top of the Double Dragon list is just my father's move!"

......

In Beishan Village, in a small courtyard of Shimen, a huge prey hangs on a huge wooden shelf, and the bonfire under the prey is blazing, and the rich aroma of meat wafts in the air.

"Houde, this ingredient is almost running out, you have to ask the righteous boy to get me some more, or you won't have anything to eat when you come!" A man with a few strands of silver frost in his hair on the side of the campfire laughed and drank a bowl of wine in his mouth.

"Huh...... You have to tell him about this, I can't be the master!" Fang Houde, who was sitting next to the man, was also holding a bowl of wine at the moment, but one hand was completely made of a white metal.

"Dad, Uncle Yangping!" At this time, a somewhat lazy voice came from outside the small courtyard.

"Alas, the integrity is coming! Quick, sit down and drink with your uncle!" As soon as the man with a few strands of silver frost in his hair heard this voice, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him.

It is Zhang Yangping, the former deputy captain of the Beishan Village Hunting Team and the current head of Beishan Village.

"Drink with you? I don't want to ...... Na, the ingredients!" Outside the small courtyard, Fang Zhengzhi, who was wearing a blue coarse cloth robe, heard Zhang Yangping's words, and immediately looked disdainful, and casually threw a large bag of ingredients to Zhang Yangping.

Zhang Yangping immediately held his hands in his hands, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Hahaha...... Still honest understand me!" Zhang Yangping quickly put away the ingredients, and then pulled Fang Zhengzhi to sit down by the bonfire: "Integrity, I have discussed it with your father, and the whole village has agreed, and you will be the captain of this hunting team in the future!"

"Captain, isn't it the vice-captain?" Fang Zhengzhi said curiously.

"Houde, look at you kid, hahaha...... How could that be the vice-captain? It must be right! Besides, don't keep running out, after all, I'm also old, and you will have to come into contact with some things in the village sooner or later!" Zhang Yangping laughed reproachfully, but his eyes were secretly looking at the changes in Fang Zheng's expression.

"Uncle Yangping doesn't think about Brother Li?" Fang Zhengzhi's expression didn't change much, just smiled slightly.

"That kid, how can I compare with you!" Zhang Yangping waved his hand.

"I admit that I can't compare to the righteous brother, but I can compare to you!" An unconvinced voice came from inside the stone house, and then a young man with a tiger's back also walked out, carrying two large jugs of wine in his hand.

"Alas, stinky boy, do you dare to be stubborn with your father? Come on, let's compare today!" When Zhang Yangping heard this, he immediately stood up, took the wine jug in the young man's hand, and prepared to pour the wine.

"Stop acting, Uncle Yangping, you know the purpose of my coming today!" Fang Zheng looked straight at the few people in front of him, pouted, and was a little helpless.

"Hehe......" Zhang Yangping smiled, his face showed a little embarrassment: "That Taoist old test is too difficult, you have been self-taught all these years, you look at those people in Nanshan Village, they have studied for a few years, and no one has passed the Taoist exam in Fucheng!"

"Yes, righteous brother! No matter how powerful you are, it's useless if you can't pass the literary test!" The young man next to him also opened his mouth to persuade at this time.

"Otherwise, wait another two years?" Zhang Yangping said tentatively.

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that Uncle Yangping said the same thing two years ago, right?" Fang Zheng walked straight to the campfire, and with a slight wipe of his hand on the prey, a large piece of meat reached his hand.

Put it in your mouth and bite it, and your mouth will be full of oil.

"That's right, but, as you can see, there have been several years of drought in recent years, there are a lot less prey on Cangling Mountain, and the number of people in the village is growing......"

"That's why you need to take the Taoist exam, as long as you pass, you can be exempted from taxes!" Fang Zhengzhi interrupted what Zhang Yangping was about to say.

"But you can't pass the exam? The Taoist exam, from the county exam to the government exam, will take at least several months to complete, and if you leave, I'm afraid the village will ......" Zhang Yang was worried.

"Uncle Yangping, there is a silver ticket here, which is enough for the village to support for a while!" Fang Zhengzhi finished speaking, and also took out a hundred taels of silver ticket from his arms and handed it over.

"This is a hundred taels?!" Zhang Yangping took the silver ticket handed over by Fang Zhengzhi with a puzzled face, looked at it, and suddenly opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

"Hahaha...... Actually, Brother Yangping doesn't have to worry, I still have some stock at home, if there is trouble in the village, just open your mouth!" Fang Houde looked at the silver ticket in Zhang Yangping's hand, and then at Fang Zhengzhi, with a smile on his face.

"Alas......" Zhang Yangping sighed.

......

In the early morning of the next day, the news that Fang Zhengzhi was going to take the Daodian exam spread like a gust of wind throughout Beishan Village, and all the schools were talking about it, even in Nanshan Village, which was looking across the mountain.

"Fang Zhengzhi is going to take the Daodian exam, do you know?"

"I heard that in order to participate in the Taoist exam, this kid specially left a silver ticket of one hundred taels for the village!"

"One hundred taels, that's amazing!"

"But it's impossible to pass the Daodian exam, alas...... But since this kid insists on going and wants to see it, he should just take some time to see the world!"

"Naturally, I have seen the world! Otherwise, what would have happened? Could it be that I can still pass? hahaha...... If I can pass the Taoist exam by self-study, then I will immediately gnaw all the pumpkins in my field!"

"Hehe, there are thousands of catties of pumpkins in your pumpkin field, can you finish eating?"

"Guaranteed to eat all in one day, hahaha......"
