61. The doppelganger of Xuan Ming
"Where did you go just now? I've received so many students who have come into contact with Xifangshi, and this is the first time I've seen you like you. Seeing Shi Yuanji, who was still in tears in the corners of his eyes, Guo Jiao said worriedly.
"Nothing, seeing some of the things that used to be. Shi Yuanji said with a little choked up. "I know what I want in my heart, may I ask Guo Saijiu, does Chengyun Pavilion have a subject about miracles?"
"Miracles, you mean the study of mythology and history?" Guo Jiao said with some surprise. "I have to remind you, with your qualifications and your performance in front of Your Majesty, you can focus on some promising subjects, such as dragon patterns, celestial phenomena, spells, and the like. ”
Seeing that Shi Yuanji was unmoved, Guo Jiao added: "The subjects I just mentioned are all obvious learning. Whether it's for research or entering the court, it's very useful. If you want to learn the history of mythology, it is the last study, and if you learn it, you will not be able to achieve results, and you will not be able to use it in the court. Although it is not a subject used by those incompetent second ancestors to make a living, it has no future. ”
"I look at what you're wearing, your family isn't rich. Why do you learn this kind of thing? You might as well focus on the dragon pattern department, and I happen to be in charge of the dragon pattern department of the Chengyun Pavilion. I can guarantee that you will study with me for two years, and your attainments in dragon patterns will surpass that of the entire Dongsheng Divine Prefecture!"
Shi Yuanji smiled with red eyes and said, "Guo Xijiu, I believe in you." But I really want to study mythology and history, so I appreciate your kindness. ”
Guo Jiao looked at Shi Yuanji with regret and sighed long: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't force them." Fortunately, as long as you become a student, you can listen to the subjects of Chengyun Pavilion casually, and you must come to listen to my subjects when the time comes. ”
Shi Yuanji bowed and saluted, Guo Jiao was quite happy, and returned to the examination room with him.
"You've finished your paper, take your fish charm, and come back to see the results in five days. Guo Jiao said with concern before bringing him to the examination room. "However, you should have already seen that your entry into the Chengyun Pavilion is already a sure thing. Go back and get some rest, I'm waiting for your news. ”
Shi Yuanji has a good impression of Guo Jiao, generous and kind, quick thinking, and a person worth befriending. He solemnly saluted Guo Jiao again, and then walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, waiting for Jiang Renyun to appear.
It didn't take long for the candidates to come out one after another, and as soon as Jiang Renyun came out of the examination room, he couldn't wait to find Shi Yuanji.
"I heard, something happened to Fako's side, Gui Yihu is in trouble with you?" he asked eagerly.
"I'll talk about it later. Shi Yuanji said.
In the inn, in Jiang Renyun's room, the dining table was full of delicacies, all of which Shi Yuanji paid for.
Just now, Shi Yuanji told him about Qi Xunwen's summoning of him, which startled Jiang Renyun.
Shi Yuanji quietly tasted the food on the table, but Jiang Renyun was restless, with a sad face, and he didn't want to move a bite of the wine and food on the table.
"Did you hear me right?" he asked, cautiously pacing the ground impatiently.
"I heard it right, Your Majesty is the inquiry. Shi Yuanji took a sip of soup and said calmly. "It's okay, the exam questions are quite simple. ”
"Come over for dinner, it will be five days before the list will be released, and it is useless for you to be in a hurry. ”
Jiang Renyun sat back on the chair, still nervous: "With His Majesty as a backer this time, we will definitely be able to enter the Chengyun Pavilion." But you must have also offended the children of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, this is not easy to do. I just hope that they have a lot of adults, and they don't have the same knowledge as poor ghosts like you. ”
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Shi Yuanji put down the soup bowl, picked up the chopsticks and said. "Your Majesty asked me to be in the limelight in front of them, which is equivalent to disgrace them, it seems that our little emperor is very ambitious. ”
"Wait, you mean......" Jiang Renyun finally sat down, and after hearing Shi Yuanji's words, he suddenly stood up again. "Impossible! The Eight Pillars Kingdom occupies Hanoi, and the imperial family is originally in the state of the public world. Could it be that the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven is crazy and dares to touch the privileges of the Eight Pillars Kingdom?"
"Even if Hu Dan is loyal to him, how can he deter the Eight Pillars National Clan with the strength and resources of the imperial capital alone? ”
Shi Yuanji continued to eat, and said boredly: "That's their business, and we can't worry about it." Even if the Taiji Palace changes hands, with your magic rod, your life will not be sad. ”
Jiang Renyun suddenly realized: "That's right, I don't have the surname Qi, what do I care about this? He picked up the rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp, but he had a different plan in his heart.
"I'm going to go out for a walk tomorrow, what about you. Looking at Jiang Renyun, who was gobbling up, Shi Yuanji couldn't cry or laugh.
"I'm just going to stay here, improve my magic guns, and don't go out. ”
"Okay, I'll bring you something delicious when the time comes. After Shi Yuanji finished speaking, he went back to the room to rest.
......
Shi Yuanji slept well, and when he woke up, he found himself in a cave deep in the mountain.
"Am I not in Feng Ho, why did I return to Kunlun Mountain?" he looked around, and in the lush woods, birch and pine trees grew wantonly, more luxuriant than before. In the middle of the woods, the round meadow is dotted with wildflowers.
He hurried to dig out a feather cone, only to find that the seed bag was missing. A premonition of fear came to his heart, and he rushed directly towards the entrance of the cave without hesitation.
"What are you running, are you so scared when you see me?" A seductive voice came from behind Shi Yuanji, and then an invisible force lifted him up and pulled him straight over.
Of course he knew whose voice it was, and that's why he had to run. But the invisible force was irresistible, and with a frightened expression, he was pulled to the side by the woman. "Xuanming God, don't come unharmed. Shi Yuanji smiled insincerely, but saw a new face.
This face is roughly similar to Xuan Ming, but it is slightly different, a pair of charming eyes are extraordinary but with a hint of sorrow, the enchanting face is mixed with some heroic spirit, the full red lips are delicate but can't hide the pain at the corners of the mouth, and the thick snake tail that is several feet long has turned into round and strong slender legs.
When Shi Yuanji saw her, he couldn't help but be stupid. He only felt his mouth dry, his heart racing, his breathing short, and his eyes staring at her without moving for a moment.
Fortunately, in the end, reason prevailed over instinct, and he said in horror: "You are not Xuan Ming, who are you? Let go of me!"
The woman looked confused and said suspiciously: "I don't know who I am, I don't know why I'm here, I just have an idea, and that's to come to you." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Shi Yuanji struggled as hard as he could, but to no avail. "You let me go first!"
"Because you are my husband. The woman came to Shi Yuanji, almost face to face, exhaling like an orchid, making his heart sway.
"Who is your husband, I don't know you!" Shi Yuanji almost cried.
Seeing Shi Yuanji's anxious and shy look, the woman burst out laughing: "Little guy, you are still so cute." It's so much fun to flirt with you, haha. ”
At this moment, Shi Yuanji thought in a trance that Xuan Ming was back again, and there was a kind of joy in his heart: "Who are you?"
"Me?" Hearing this question, the woman was stunned for a moment. "I don't have a name, I'm just a doppelganger of her. Otherwise, you can give me a name. ”
"What's wrong with her?" Shi Yuanji hurriedly asked.
"Looks like you still remember her. The woman held Shi Yuanji's face and said with a smile. "Don't worry, she's the immortal god of creation, and for her, it's just a different place to live. But you, what are you going to give me a name?"
"You brought me here to give you a name?" Shi Yuanji's eyelids jumped wildly, feeling that he had been tricked.
"yes, think about it. The woman held Shi Yuanji's face and refused to put it down, looking at him with silky eyes, and the fragrance she spit out blew on his face, making him blush and heartbeat with shame. "Don't forget, you are her slave, that is, my slave, and you must obey all my commands. If you come up with a good name, I'll give you a little reward, master. ”
