Chapter 11 Passing the Examination

Wang Yuanwai had already done everything for this exam half a month ago, and hundreds of points were done, and even fools and officials could find a way to make him go to high school. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just a bit of a false name that can be obtained from this exam, and it's not a prospect of net worth, even if it is found above, it's hard to care.

Taking advantage of these two free days, Zhao Zheng went to the largest bookstore in Hengzhou City, although Hengzhou City was heavily guarded and patrolling soldiers came and went, but after all, it had not been war-torn for more than ten years, so business was prosperous.

Zhao Zheng left his mobile phone in Baiyun Taoist Temple, so he didn't have to change his method every day to squeeze out some time to copy the books on his mobile phone. In the past few days in Hengzhou, although the days are a little dull and boring, Zhao Zheng feels that he is one step closer to this era.

Today is the market day in Hengzhou City, so there are a lot of people, the whole street seems to be blocked, and even the patrol of the soldiers has become difficult.

The zodiac chief behind Zhao Zheng kept scolding Zhao Zheng to slow down, Zhao Zheng heard the voice and arched deeper into the crowd, he didn't want to be hugged by the zodiac chief in his arms or ride on his shoulder. After all, it's also a soul in his twenties, and that's too embarrassing.

After the guidance of passers-by, Zhao Zheng came to the Dongcheng Bookstore, there were not many people inside, and Zhao Zheng was stopped by the guys in the store as soon as he entered the door. There were too many children who came to make trouble, and they didn't know a few words, but they broke the book.

"Who's little brother! Hurry back, there's nothing to do here. ”

Zhao Zheng took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and shook it at the guy: "You are open to do business, I am naturally here to buy books." ”

Just when the guy hesitated, the zodiac chief came in, Zhao Zheng casually called the master, and the guy immediately understood, so he stopped coming to bother and watched with Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng originally had nothing to buy, and he came here completely to let Huang Daochang choose a few medical books for himself, and sure enough, Huang Daochang couldn't move his feet when he saw the medical books on the bookshelf. He thought about the fact that he had suddenly received unprecedented respect from people recently, and initially decided that it was brought about by his own medical skills, and tasted the sweetness, and the zodiac chief was naturally willing to spend time on medical paths.

He now has plenty of money, so he bought a large stack of books with a wave of his hand, ready to take them back, but the street was crowded, Zhao Zheng gave the guy ten yuan, let the guy have a place for them to sit down, and wait for dusk, or the crowd dispersed before leaving, anyway, there is nothing to do when you go back to the inn.

Huang Daochang agreed to Zhao Zheng's proposal, and the old and the young read in the bookstore without being disturbed by the outside world.

When the guy saw this, he didn't feel a little envious: "What a leisurely pair of master and apprentice!" ”

――

On the third day after the examination, the Taoist examination was released, and compared with the crowd of people in the imperial examination, there were only a dozen or so people in front of the list.

Huang Daochang couldn't wait to find his name on the list, and he actually ranked third for the first time, and the result was "B B". Zhao Zheng is "B C" ranked seventh.

Taoism is based on merit to confer titles, according to previous examinations, to obtain B and B, this sergeant's title is not able to run, and may even be higher.

Accepting the title was the next day, Zhao Zheng didn't go to see the list, and he knew that he was definitely high school with his ass, and several Taoist priests were bought, and the sister of Wang Yuanwai was the concubine of the chief examiner Lord Wei. So even if it is not difficult to get Zhao Zheng to the top of the list, I am afraid that when the list is released, some poor Taoist priests will not accept it, and they will compete with him on the spot, which will be difficult, Zhao Zheng fortunately did not go to join in the fun.

As soon as Huang Daochang entered the inn, he shouted at Zhao Zheng: "Zheng'er, I'm hit, I'm hit." There was no usual calmness, looking at the ecstasy on Huang Daochang's face, Zhao Zheng was also sincerely happy.

"Congratulations, Master!"

The second day is the day of awarding the title, the zodiac chief called Zhao Zheng from the bed early and went, the government accepted the title, this exam thirty-two people participated, sixteen people from high school, the admission ratio is full, but most of them are the title of Yuanshi, just a false name, and the court is willing to give.

The first place is an old Taoist priest who has passed the age of sixties, in this Hengzhou area has some fame, it is said that he has also been given the title of Emperor Ningzong, he took the test once before he was young, and he never came to the test again after getting the title of sergeant, and he didn't know what he did this year, this time he actually came to the test, so he gave the title of hermit for the first time, and awarded the "Shangqing Five Thunder Seal".

Zhao Zheng didn't expect that this would actually be awarded to the Taoist Fu Seal, which really made him feel interested, it seems that the imperial court really believes that the Fu Seal is real, just like what kind of magic tricks are awarded after those Xianxia novels.

The zodiac chief won the title of a good man and was awarded the "Taishang Sanwu Gong Jing Seal".

Zhao Zheng also won the title of sergeant and was awarded the "Taishang Sanwu Gong Jing Seal".

Naturally, there was some injustice, especially when I saw that an eight-year-old child had won the title of sergeant, this injustice was naturally even more difficult to settle, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Among them, a middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but shout, but he was sentenced to Master Wei, and on the grounds of disturbing the law field, he beat him out with a stick, and the others had to be honest when they saw this, and they didn't dare to talk out loud.

After the Dharma Dojo is completed, this exam will be truly over.

The old Taoist priest who had won the first people walked straight to Zhao Zheng, looked at Zhao Zheng with deep satisfaction and said: "It is worthy of being a disciple of the Immortal Family, and it is really a show inside and out, there is no one in a thousand miles." ”

Zhao Zheng was taken aback, how could this old Taoist suddenly kill himself like this, but no matter what, he had to take it, bowed down and said, "Immortal Xie Chang." ”

The old Taoist priest's eyes widened, how could this kid not be humble and give a few words, but take people's money**, he touched the silver ticket in his sleeve, and his smile became stronger. Whisker praised him fiercely and left.

Zhao Zheng looked at the somewhat unkind eyes in the audience, and pulled Huang Daochang to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, but he was stopped without thinking about it.

A middle-aged man with a beard on his face bowed to them and said, "In the Yuntian Temple of the Xia Lingbao Sect, the true department, please ask the sergeant to solve my doubts." ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned on the spot, this Lingbao sect is a branch of the Fu Seal sect, which pays attention to the way of immortal cultivation and takes the initiative to absorb foreign cultures, so it is all-encompassing and incomparably complex, among which the interesting thing is to insist that Buddhism is a branch of Taoism. Its supreme canon is the Lingbao Sutra, which is considered to be the highest supreme sutra of all universes.

Zhao Zheng has also read the "Lingbao Sutra", there are only about 4,000 words in total, plus the modern vernacular annotations, it doesn't take much effort, and the other party is a Taoist priest who can't even pass the Yuanshi exam, he may not even be able to read the words, Zhao Zheng is not stunned, and he is completely confident to fool the past.

Seeing where Zhao Zheng was stunned, he thought he was frightened, so he took advantage of the victory and asked: "Heaven and earth, the shape of the avenue." Yin and yang, the qi of the avenue. Cold, hot, humid, cool, and there is air in the form. Clouds, fog, rain, dew, and there are images in the air. What does this mean? ”

This is a passage in the Lingbao Sutra, and I really don't understand it, but it is expected that Zhao Zheng doesn't understand it either, and just wants to watch him make a fool of himself.

"At your level, let's take a look at your own "Duren Sutra" first, I will give you a comment and comprehend it yourself: Break the yin and yang creation machine, and the clouds, fog, rain and dew are all qi. Yin and yang change all things, and the avenue is unified by the truth. ”

Zhao Zheng said while pulling the zodiac to go, the last four sentences are the four lines of poetry annotated by Taoists in later generations, from shallow to deep expounded the true meaning of the true system, as for the specific meaning, Zhao Zheng does not know, but it is necessary to know that Taoism is plausible, and it is not clear that it is the performance of profundity.

Sure enough, not only did the real department seem to have realized, but also confused, but the other Taoist priests also had the same expression after hearing this, and only when they came back to their senses did they find that the pair of masters and apprentices had gone away.

The real department wanted to continue to ask, but was stopped: "Brother Dao, forget it, I have met a master, a true spirit child!" ”

After hearing Zhao Zheng's few lines of praise, the old Taoist priest who won the first place suddenly stopped, and said after a long time: "It's a little interesting, it seems that he is not a person who deceives the world and steals his name." ”

The matter in Hengzhou has been dealt with, Zhao Zheng touched the document in his hand, which was officially awarded by the government for this examination, and the title of sergeant made him exempt from Ding tax and tax from now on. It also says the date and place of his birth, and his origin is also clear, the Han people who fled south, and their ancestral home is Shandong.

The identity problem was solved, and the identity of the prodigy was officially established, Zhao Zheng finally sighed that he could show his strength, as for the Wang Yuan, who contributed a lot, Zhao Zheng naturally would not treat him badly, the old Taoist Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment or two, and thought that it should be invited by the Wang Yuanwai, this time I am afraid that it is a bloody investment, please move the old Taoist priest to cover the limelight for himself, so as not to be too criticized.

――

Zhao Zheng's carriage was stopped by Wang Yuanwai at the foot of the Baiyun Taoist Temple, and he warmly invited Zhao Zheng and Huang Daochang to go to his mansion at night to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them.

The zodiac chief, who had been kept in the dark, naturally didn't know why Wang Yuanwai was so respectful to him, thinking that even if he had a life-saving grace for his son, he was entrusted with a lot of money, and he built a house for the Baiyun Dao Temple, this kindness had already been paid off, and it had been two months, and this respect had not been reduced, but it was even more enthusiastic.

So this time Huang Daochang refused, and honestly he felt that it was inconvenient to bother people anymore.

Zhao Zheng saw that the master was resolute and did not persuade him, so he had to quietly comfort Wang Yuanwai in private.

Back to Baiyuan Taoist Temple, the happiest people are naturally Da Lang and Erlang, one is that Zhao Zheng will definitely sell them a lot of delicious things, and the other is that I can't wait to hear Zhao Zheng's story.

Back at the Taoist temple, Zhao Zheng also felt that everything was relaxed, and he pondered what valuable things to get out first, but he denied them one by one, realizing that he couldn't do too much action now, even if he handed it over to Wang Yuan to do it, he was afraid that his financial resources would not be enough to support it. After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng reluctantly said that he had to pretend to be a magic stick again.

So more than ten days later, when Wang Yuanwai came to Baiyun Taoist Temple again, Zhao Zheng mysteriously pulled him into the side hall of the visitor. Zhao Zheng still doesn't know what Wang Yuanwai's name is, and it is inconvenient to ask, but now Wang Yuanwai has a vague tendency to become the first eagle dog he sits on, and he can't say it if he doesn't know the name.

So he coaxed him to say that he needed to engrave his name to make a rich lamp, and then he knew that Wang Yuanwai's real name and Wang Fucai did not have a word.

"Fucai, Master observed the sky yesterday night and found that there was gold and silver in the west of Zaoyang, so he explored it carefully......" Zhao Zheng paused when he said here.

Wang Fucai was also a little nervous at this time, and looked at Zhao Zheng with a dry tongue.

"This is on Lizhou Road, Zhushan County, and it is a gold and silver mine!"
