Chapter 172: Divine Powers
He grabbed a pen and paper from his desk, hurriedly wrote down a few words, and then took out a fire fold and lit it at the jade talisman.
Then, holding his breath, he looked ahead with the last glimmer of hope in his heart, waiting for a miracle to happen......
The paper had been burned completely, leaving only a little ash to spill on the ground.
He didn't dare to breathe, and the silence in the room was like a pool of stagnant water, as if even time had stood still in this moment.
After a long time, the ashes rose automatically without wind, and slowly flew up from the ground, as if a pair of invisible hands pulled them up alive, and danced like butterflies.
Su Yulong's eyes slowly widened, and he almost cried with joy in his heart!
It worked!
The ashes coalesced under his gaze, then fell down into the dirt. Finally, in his somewhat surprised eyes, a pointed head emerged from the dirt, and layers of scales on its back that looked solid.
"Mausoleum...... Mausoleum carp? Su Yulong looked at the giant monster in front of him that was the size of his entire person with just his head, and couldn't help but take a step back and muttered.
The lingli carp is a pangolin, which is not very rare in this kind of rural mountain. It's just that such an almost terrifying pangolin has never been seen before!
I've never even heard of it!
"Mr. Su, I'm here to pick you up."
Just when he lost his mind, Na Ling Carp was speechless, and then opened his big mouth: "Get into my mouth, the little demon will take you to Yong'an City, and it will never delay your time for the exam!"
Looking at the bloody mouth in front of him, Su Yulong subconsciously grabbed the cold jade talisman in his hand, gritted his teeth, but no longer hesitated, and trembled slightly and his palm probed into it.
To his surprise, instead of being cramped and cramped, the space in the pangolin's mouth was just enough for one person to stand, and there were tables, chairs, and tea inside, which was unexpectedly suitable for him to rest.
At this time, the pangolin's somewhat muffled voice came from his ears: "This is an insignificant little magical power, so Mr. Grievance praised and rested in the belly of the little demon, and it can be reached in a moment!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "boom" sound of thunder outside, and I don't know what happened, but I guess it should be shuttling underground. But there was no swaying in this space, as if he was walking on the ground, which made him even more surprised.
These monsters are really amazing in their own way!
At this moment, the sister-in-law outside the house was still knocking melon seeds, she didn't know what was happening in the house, and thought that the little brother-in-law was still being locked up. In fact, even if she went in at this moment, she could not find the slightest trace, only an empty room, because the pangolin had already blocked the entrance to the cave when he left.
Su Yulong, who was in the belly of the pangolin, didn't wait long, and after about a moment, he vaguely felt that the "muffled thunder" outside seemed to have stopped, followed by a huge suction, and before he could react, he pulled his whole person outside, and his footsteps fell steadily to the ground.
"This is ......"
Su Yulong looked at the gate of Yong'an City not far away, and was a little stunned.
Looking at the sky, it seems that it hasn't been long since then!
The pangolin behind him said in a deep voice: "Mr. Su, it's been delivered, you go to the exam quickly, don't delay the time......"
"Thank you!"
Su Yulong was grateful, and turned around to hug his fist.
"You're welcome, I just hope that Mr. will get good grades in the exam and come back to teach me and other students better!" The pangolin laughed, and his body changed, and he turned into a young man with beautiful eyebrows, with a well-proportioned body, and he couldn't see the appearance of the terrible pangolin just now.
"You are?"
Su Yulong only felt that the young man in front of him was quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a little recollection in my mind, I remembered that the other person seemed to be a student in my class.
"When teachers are in trouble, students naturally want to help. After the exam, the teacher can burn the note to the jade talisman again, and I will naturally pick you up! ”
The pangolin turned into a teenager and then slowly sank into the mud from its feet, as if it merged into one, and finally disappeared, never to be found again.
Su Yulong knew that he couldn't delay any longer at this time, so he hurried in the direction of the county office. When he came to the gate of the county government, he could see that there were already many literati and scholars waiting here in the sun, and he thought that he was the candidate this time.
It's just that at this time, there is obviously still free time, and there are still officials guarding the door of the county government, and those scholars are not allowed to enter, so they can only wait obediently outside the door.
Su Yulong was a little worried about whether he would meet his brother who came to the exam with him, but fortunately, after looking around, he didn't find the other party's figure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
About half an hour later, a large number of candidates outside the door were already waiting, almost black, there were teenagers, and there were also middle-aged literati, and they happened to see an old man with gray hair, but it was only a flash, and they didn't see it clearly. At the moment, it is crowded, and a rough estimate is that there are hundreds of people! And thinking that only the top 50 were admitted in the county examination, Su Yulong's heart couldn't help but feel a little more pressure and uneasiness.
It is true that he has never officially attended school, and has only relied on his own self-study to get to this point. Although Brother Zhou had already praised him, he was still a little unconfident and worried about whether he could beat these hundreds of scholars.
At this time, a greasy-haired and powder-faced official came out of the gate of the county ya, his eyes swept over the expectant candidates in front of him, showing a little satisfaction, and then slowly raised his hand and said: "The county examination has begun to enter the venue, you will enter the venue according to the examination number, do not push and squeeze, otherwise once you find that there is a troublemaker, you will be expelled from the examination room immediately, and you will never be able to take the imperial examination!"
Su Yulong glanced down at his exam card, and the number on it was "Qi Bai Shi Er", which means that there was also Qi Bai Shi Yi in front of him. In front of this, there are officials who have to check the appearance and identity of the candidates, and check whether there are any things that can be cheated such as cheat sheets, so the progress is extra slow.
By the time it was his turn, a long time had passed.
Name...... Hmm, Su Yulong...... What about your guarantor? Didn't you come along? The official in charge of the inspection marked the book and suddenly looked up and asked.
"......," he didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, at this time, the official on the side suddenly walked over, seemed to hear their voices, and glanced at him with a bit of scrutiny, with some doubts in his eyes: "You are Su Yulong?"
"Exactly!" Su Yulong hurriedly replied.
"You go in." The official waved his hand, "I know his guarantor." ”
When the official heard this, he naturally didn't dare to stop it, so he hurriedly made another stroke and simply let him go.
"Thank you, sir!" Su Yulong thanked.
"There's no need to say thank you, just take the exam. Don't let down Lord Zhou's kindness. The official reminded so softly.
