Ordinary low-level disciples wore sect-standard green clothes, and their hair could only be tied casually with a hemp rope.

Whether you come from a poor or rich family, here, you can't tell from the clothes.

This is to prevent the disciples who have just entered the door from having an unstable Taoist heart and like to compare their family backgrounds, so it is stipulated that they must dress uniformly, and no one is better than the other.

"Senior Brother Zhang, morning."

"Senior Brother Wang, you are also early."

Such greetings can be seen everywhere, which can be described as Yin Yin students, thriving.

Hongchen Daomen is a penance, and from the perspective of Zhang Yuan, who was born in a poor family, the atmosphere is not bad.

At least, no one here looked down on him because his family was poor and his mother had remarried since he was a child.

The atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty is open, and it is actually very common for women to remarry, and they will not be overly harsh.

Seeing that no one around them noticed them, Senior Brother Wang sneaked up and looked like a small vendor selling some kind of forbidden books in the bazaar, which made people laugh.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I heard that your Xiaokai writing is good, and it just so happens that the master arranged for me to transcribe the "Spiritual Collection", I wonder if I can help? Of course, there must be a lot of money for brushing. ”

Zhang Yuan's cultivation progress was slow, but he wrote well, and he was very famous among the disciples of the Nine Grades of the sect.

"Although I can transcribe it, the handwriting is not your handwriting, and your master will not be unable to see it, and you will be punished when the time comes."

Zhang Yuan said.

"It's okay, this time it's because I borrowed someone else's book, and I only have three days, and the master knows that I will definitely not be able to finish copying, so he agreed that I would find someone to help."

Senior Brother Wang said.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the way of learning was unprecedentedly prosperous and prosperous, the popularity of manuscripts was still insufficient.

Basically, there are only one or two teachers in each small village, and they bring some collections of books, all of which are related to scientific research, and are issued by the government at a discount and asked someone to copy the Four Books and Five Classics.

If you want to see anecdotal acrobatics, poetry and songs, then you must go to the state capital-level study and cultural and educational workshop, where there will be.

In this environment, even if you have money, it is hard to find a book.

If you want to buy it, people may not want to sell it.

If it is a genuine masterpiece of a famous artist, it is to be used for heirloom treasures, not to mention borrowing, and it will not be viewed at all when you are idle.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang's master, Wang Luochuan, is not an idle person.

He is a Taoist who has already cultivated to the Yuanying realm.

Therefore, I got an opportunity to borrow from a friend the "Spiritual Collection" by Wen Yanting, who came to Shanshui Xingji.

On the mountain path, Senior Brother Wang, that is, Wang Cong, has a very affectionate attitude towards Zhang Yuan, unlike others who look at him coldly.

Without him, Wang Cong used to be a merchant's son, although he was diligent and studious, he could not participate in the scientific examination because of the law.

Therefore, Wang Cong admires Zhang Yuan, who was born as a poor disciple, but can become a child at the age of twenty.

Tong Sheng, whose status is one level lower than Xiucai, refers to the candidates who did not get the ranking in the first exam, but passed.

If you don't come to cultivate, you have a good chance of being admitted to Xiucai and changing your fate.

If there is a talent, the whole village will be honored, not to mention the tax exemption for three years, and the village chief's political achievements will be recorded beautifully.

Moreover, his family can obtain the right to tax exemption for ten years, so it can be said that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog have ascended to heaven.

Selected in Hongchen Road, there is also this treatment.

Therefore, in the end, in order to make up enough medical expenses for his sick father, Zhang Yuan gave up the scientific expedition.

Because of the low-grade elixir issued by Hongchen Dao every month, if given to mortals, it can prolong life.

Zhang Yuan is a well-known filial son in ten miles and eight townships, seeing that his father's illness can't get out of bed, let alone farm work, the family may be cut off.

In the face of life and death, what is the dream of a poor scholar? In order to prevent his younger brother and father from starving to death with him, he was ruthless and gritted his teeth, and gave up the promising scientific expedition.

Two years ago, Zhang Yuan was still indignant in his heart.

In the past two years, I have experienced the penance of the Red Dust Dao, but I can also see it.

What's more, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the glory of an immortal cultivator is not much lower than that of a scholar.

The great power among many immortal cultivators is also a master of poetry and literature.

For example, the "Spiritual Collection" to be transcribed today, the author is Wen Yanting, a representative of the Shanshui Pastoral School, this is a famous casual cultivator, who cultivates to the Yuan Infant or above, once the tribulation is successfully practiced into the body of a golden immortal, you can achieve a real longevity without borders, and your face is not old.

Transcribing a manuscript of a book that is powerful in loose cultivation will definitely help in cultivating immortals.

Not to mention the pen fee.

Now, although Zhang Yuan said that he had stepped into the fairy gate, the family was still in a worrying situation, and his father's life was hung with the next grade spirit pill, and he was worry-free for the time being, but he did not have a few years of longevity.

Increasing Yuan Shou can only be done by the top-grade "Blood Qi Pill", but it is a cultivation resource that can only be awarded by a seven-grade disciple.

Zhang Yuan has been in the door for three years, but it is still nine products.

Besides, the cost of my younger brother's reading and practicing calligraphy is not a small amount.

Although the family has the help of the government and exempts the cost of studying, the father takes medicine and the younger brother buys paper and pen to practice calligraphy, which is a lot of expenses.

Poor and rich in martial arts.

However, for the peasant family whose income can only rely on three acres of thin land, it is not easy for the whole family to have enough to eat. Zhang Yuan used to practice calligraphy, using the juice of green walnuts, dipped in water, and written on a wooden board, and he took this to hand in his homework, but he was praised by Mr.

Now, the family situation is very good, and my younger brother can only afford to use the cheapest jute paper, which is made of straw as the main material, with rough workmanship and a little grinding to the touch.

Zhang Yuan had some scholarly arrogance in his heart, and he was unwilling to accept relief for a long time.

Moreover, he knew very well that although he now had the help of his neighbors, what were they trying to do? It's just that he hopes to get the elixir treasure that Zhang Yuan can get from the Hongchen Dao Master.

However, Zhang Yuan himself now only has a low-grade elixir, which is used for his father every month, so how can he have any extra to repay his neighbors? After a while, the relatives will see that they can't get any benefits from Zhang Yuan, and they will definitely cut off their help to the Zhang family.

When the time comes, the family's fortune will definitely take a sharp turn for the worse.

Therefore, Wang Cong now invited him to transcribe the manuscript, which is like a kindness to him.

The pen and paper used by the reader are very expensive, but the words written by the reader are even more expensive.

Not to mention, Wang Yuan is still a well-known handwriting among the disciples of Jiupin.

His small Kai, imitating Ouyang Cheng's most famous Xiaokai "Li Lexu" in the Kuching Dynasty, can be relaxed and relaxed, like a falling stone on the peak, like a thousand miles of clouds, is the standard font used in today's scientific research.

The calligraphy there was written by Ouyang Cheng's disciple imitating Ouyang Cheng.

It's just a disciple's imitation, and it also makes Zhang Yuan's font written in a decent way, which looks like an ultimate enjoyment.

Pen fee, ten words per word.

You can buy a piece of ordinary rice paper, or ten sheets of jute paper for practicing large characters.

If it can be completed, my younger brother will not have to worry about this year's tuition.

However, although Zhang Yuan's handwriting is good, his speed has never been improved.

Immortal cultivators need to consume a certain amount of spiritual power to practice calligraphy, and they can only wait quietly for recovery after consumption.

In this process of consumption and recovery, the speed of spiritual power recovery can be improved, and the benefits are obvious.

Practicing characters is actually one of the common cultivation methods for immortal cultivators.

When it is full of spiritual power, it is only enough to write three or four hundred a day at most.

Zhang Yuan's spiritual power recovered a little faster, but it was full of calculations in a day, but there were only about five hundred words.

Moreover, since it is a copy of a book for people, we must pay attention to quality, and we can't just write a word to pull it.

If it is well written, the host family is satisfied, and Zhang Yuan will have more customers in the future.

"Senior Brother Zhang, you have the best handwriting here, so you will do the 1,500 words at the beginning."

Wang Cong began to assign tasks.

This is a kind of trust, and Zhang Yuan is quite moved.

Fifteen hundred words are equal to fifteen thousand copper coins, or 15 taels of silver.

In the countryside, the annual consumption of a medium-sized family is about 10 taels of silver, which still does not include the expenses of buying clothes and snacks.

When it is full of spiritual power, it is only enough to write three or four hundred a day at most.

Zhang Yuan's spiritual power recovered a little faster, but it was full of calculations in a day, but there were only about five hundred words.
