Chapter 40 There are no scholars in the rivers and lakes
At night, in the middle of the moon, Li Qinghe was pulled by Lu Ze to the roof of the restaurant, and Lu Ze drank the cheapest muddy wine in two jars.
Leaning on the ridge of the roof like a dustpan, the turbid liquor fell into his mouth, if it wasn't for the fact that it was late at night, Lu Ze really wanted to chant a song.
Glancing at Li Qinghe, who was yawning, Lu Ze shook his head, thinking that it was really a familiar sight, and he met a confidant, who would have thought that he would look away.
However, although it is far from what he thought, this Brother Li is also interesting, that is, this temperament is like a clay man, and he can't beat a fart with three sticks.
Estimating that he had reached the bottom of his wine jar, Lu Ze reached out and snatched the full wine jar in Li Qinghe's arms, took out the paper bag from his cuffs, and poured the white powder in the paper bag into his stomach with the muddy wine.
Li Qinghe forcibly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of doubt, and saw Lu Ze's expression as if he was fluttering, and said unhappily:
"Wushi San, do you want Brother Li to come to a pack, you can see the Confucian saint in the dream. ”
Li Qinghe hurriedly waved his hand, it was three points of poison, he had heard of this thing, it was not as simple as three points of poison.
Li Qinghe, who had nothing to do and didn't have to accompany Lu Ze to drink, took off the "Cave Spirit Sutra" on his waist and read it by moonlight.
Lu Ze, who was full of energy, glanced at it, and the expression on his face became more and more exciting: "Brother Li is still an outsider? Look at your quiet temperament, aren't you a disciple of Taihe Mountain?"
Li Qinghe looked up at Lu Ze, and thought to himself, I still paid for your house, why are you so familiar, sure enough, Li Village is too small, and everyone in this world has it.
"No, I've never been to Taihe Mountain, but I learned from a wandering Taoist. ”
"Oh, then Brother Li is also from the rivers and lakes?"
"Also?"
Lu Ze smiled, lifted the mottled long sword beside him that had not been sold at all, and his mind fluttered.
"This sword is left by my father, he was a sword ranger when he was young, and after learning two kung fu, he was going to go to the rivers and lakes to fight for righteousness, and he mixed a seven-grade style for more than ten years, but these are all from my mother. ”
Li Qinghe's expression changed, and he nodded, he always felt that it had nothing to do with him when he listened to Li Changan's talk about the rivers and lakes in Li Village, but now that he came out, it was impossible not to be curious, he was just casual, and he was not really a mole who only knew what was nesting in the soil.
At the same time, he also has a little admiration for Lu Ze's life experience, he doesn't know much about the realm above the nine grades, but he has been with Li Changan for a long time, and he also knows that the nine grades to the so-called blind pivot is a world of difference.
There are a few masters who stand on the top of the rivers and lakes, and the strength of the seven grades is really not weak.
"Then he met my mother, and I heard that he fell in love at first sight, and he wanted to leave his sword and go back to the mountains and forests, and he did so, and I remember when I was a child he always liked to lie on the ground and let me ride him as a horse, and I could see him always smiling on his face at that time. ”
Lu Ze took a sip of wine and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Then one day, it should be when I was five years old, I can't remember clearly, that night my mother and I were sleeping, and the moon outside was far away." ”
"In the middle of the night I was woken up by a commotion, and before my mother woke up, I saw my father get out of bed, and he shoved this sword into my bosom and whispered to me. ”
"Ze'er, protect your mother, don't learn martial arts in the future, you have to study, you have to enter the temple, so that you can have a good life and not be bullied. ”
Lu Ze suddenly burst out laughing, and the dog in the backyard barked in a startled voice.
"I was only five years old at the time, and I just thought my dad was the best man in the world, but I didn't expect that it would be the last time I saw him. ”
"And then ...... My mother jumped into the well, and now it's ......."
Li Qinghe was silent for a while, then closed the Dao Sutra in his hand, "Then why do you still sell this sword." ”
"Heh......" Lu Ze shook his head, "If you sell it, you sell it, what can you do? There are no scholars in the rivers and lakes, what's the use of me as a scholar, besides, isn't it that no one buys it?"
Lu Ze waved his sleeves, stood up with a smile, threw the empty wine jar in his arms off the roof, and left with his hands behind his back.
......
......
Most of the month passed quickly, and the blood in Li Qinghe's heart also dripped quickly, staying in the inn for one or two nights, he and Lu Ze were two taels of silver a day.
Now he only has single digits left in his pocket, and if he continues like this, no matter if he fails the spring exam, he will not be able to continue to live, let alone the autumn exam.
The imperial examination of the Duan Dynasty is divided into two examinations in the spring and autumn, and the talents are divided into Xiucai, Jinshi, and Gongshi, if the Gongshi is in the autumn examination, then on the first day of the winter is the palace examination of His Majesty the Duan Dynasty himself, to determine the top three and ranking.
On this day, Li Qinghe left the room in front of the counter, and the shopkeeper smiled and said that he would eat breakfast and leave.
"This shopkeeper will do business, this store has only been open for five or six years, and it will not make sense if it is not popular in the future. Lu Ze shook his head and took a sip of hot porridge.
Li Qinghe didn't speak, he gave him a blank look, wishing that the shopkeeper didn't need money to eat every day.
After breakfast, the two hurriedly went to the examination room, checked the things they carried, and after a bell rang, they officially started the scientific examination.
The exam will last all day, and Li Qinghe began to answer smoothly, although he did not remember the words in those books like Li Changan, but he could be regarded as memorizing them for such a long time.
The second volume is an interpretation of the classics, Li Qinghe silently recalled the notes he had read over the years, and wrote the answers little by little, which were slightly rough, but they were all dead answers.
But the third volume made him think hard for an afternoon before he started writing, he was bored in the village for 20 years, and he had never entered a school, where did he understand the truth of governing the country.
I'm afraid that Mr. Xueshu will explain these things, but Li Changan has never had the habit of recording, he is a disciple of Taihe Mountain who is bent on breaking through the rivers and lakes, and he cares about governing the country.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Li Qinghe, who was thinking about it, smeared it casually for a while, and it was better to write it than to hand in a white roll.
When the bell rang again, and the academic officer personally collected the papers, Li Qinghe walked out of the examination room and sighed, thinking that this time it was over, as long as the first two volumes were read carefully, it was impossible for anyone not to do it, and the only one who opened the results was the third volume.
"It's a pity......" Li Qinghe kept sighing, he was sorry for his dozens of taels of silver.
"Why is Brother Li sighing?"
A dashing voice came from behind him, and Lu Ze stood behind him holding a steaming bag of buns.
"Where did you get the money?"
"Lu has been grabbing food with beggars since he was a child, and he has been in the market for so many years, and he has his own way to make money. ”
As he spoke, he handed the bun in his hand to Li Qinghe.
"Although I don't know what Brother Li's next arrangements are, Lu is really shy in his pocket, and he owes Brother Li 382 Wen today, and he will definitely return it in the future. ”
"Ahem, ahem...... Lu Ze, don't you think your two sentences contradict each other?"
"Is there any? Brother Li, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, care about what they are doing, and walk away. ”
Looking at Lu Ze's grinning back, Li Qinghe frowned, but didn't say anything, and followed with a bun, his salute package was still in the inn.
After another night, in the early morning of the next day, after Lu Ze was kindly staying, Li Qinghe was still ready to leave the county town, and if he continued like this, he would have to grab food with the beggars.
The shopkeeper is indeed a good hand at doing business, and each candidate who is about to leave is given some dry food.
At the gate of the city, Lu Ze still looked like he didn't care about anything, and nodded to Li Qinghe with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Li, isn't he waiting for the result?"
Li Qinghe rolled his eyes, and said in his heart I want to wait, but my strength doesn't allow it.
"Don't wait, you have a certain number in your heart. ”
"It is worthy of being a cultivator, Lu Mou still has to stay here for a few more days, if it is convenient for Brother Li to leave an address, I will send the results and silver over, so as not to delay the autumn exam." ”
"Uh......" Li Qinghe was stunned, "Taihe Mountain." ”
"Taihe Mountain?"
Lu Ze's eyes changed, if this Taoist holy land is an ordinary person, it is okay, you can climb the mountain and incense, if you are a cultivator, not everyone can enter.
Until Li Qinghe walked for a long time, Lu Ze still stood in place and shook his head: "There are no scholars in the rivers and lakes, may Brother Li have a smooth journey." ”
......
......
In Chang'an, in the partial hall of the palace, the emperor of Duan Dynasty was playing chess with an old man with a bookish atmosphere.
"Teacher, do you say there are any scholars in the rivers and lakes?"
The old man smiled, his head was not raised, and the speed of the fall in his hand did not decrease: "Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, ask me what this bad old man does?"
"The twists and turns of the Wanzhou Assassin History only arrived today, and the chief secretary of a county in Jiangnan was killed. ”
"The Duan Dynasty has national laws, and it is good to deal with them according to the law. ”
"It was made by the disciples who went down the mountain to wash the sword pool. ”
The old man still didn't make any other moves, and dropped the last white son, slaughtering the big dragon of the black son right behind him.
"The strength of the Sword Master of the Sword Washing Pool depends on time, he is about the same age as me, and he has met him a few times when he was young, and he is not an unreasonable person. ”
With his hands on his knees, the old man looked up at the emperor: "Your Majesty is worried about Gu Juchen, the Snow Sword God." ”
The emperor put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box: "Gu Juchen of the sword washing pool, the first great master of martial arts, the second person in the world, drank three handfuls of spring snow, and three thousand six hundred people in one sword." ”
The old man nodded in response: "I am not willing to be lonely when I leave the dynasty, and the nameless rider has just been stationed on the Qingzhou Plateau, and it is not a wise move to step on the rivers and lakes at this time." ”
"I know, but this river and lake should be the one I am looking for. ”
"It's true that chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, but the top five great masters in martial arts evaluation can't be checked and balanced by a large number of soldiers. ”
The old man's words made the emperor close his eyes, and the hall was silent for a while.
