Opening the book, Qiu Ming looked at the illustrations of the world in front of him, and memories of the scenes came to his heart. He swept away some distractions, and he thought he would be able to return to every world he had experienced in the future.

Turning to the latest page, a burst of golden light flashed, Qiu Ming disappeared, and four big golden characters appeared on the page - Zhong Kui married his sister.

……

Qiu Ming looked around, and appeared in a bush on the side of the road again, but this time it was a little strange, he couldn't see the city in front of or behind, and he couldn't even see the village.

This also shows that there will be no key maps in the world this time, so it is necessary to meet key people to trigger the mission. Floating in mid-air, Qiu Ming saw a scholar-like person faintly walking not far away.

Qiu Ming fell down and stood on the side of the road, waiting for the scholar to approach.

Ding dong~

[Discover the key location character Zhong Kui and trigger the mission.] Main quest 1: Help Du Ping to inscribe the gold list. Main quest 2: Help Zhong Kui become the ghost king. Main quest 3: Contribute to the human karma between Du Ping and Zhong Kui's sister Zhong Quinoa. Side quest 1: Defeat the ghost king Zhong Kui. Side quest 2: Defeat King Yama. 】

[If the task is completed, there will be a certain reward, and after completing all the main quests, you can return to the real world and carry out a roulette lottery. The higher the completion of the task, the better the prize. Each world can trigger random quests, and there are rewards for completing them. Note that the main quest is a mandatory quest to complete, and if you don't complete it, you won't be able to return to the real world. 】

The first time Qiu Ming encountered the main quest was three, which means that the quest is a little troublesome. However, Qiu Ming took a closer look at the task, and it didn't seem to be very difficult.

Zhong Kui became the ghost king, which was destined by heaven. The dignified Tiankui Star Monarch descended to earth, how could there be no protector? In the end, he died by hitting a pillar, which is so strange.

Then if you die, you can still be canonized by Heavenly Court, maybe this is deliberately arranged by Heavenly Court, in order to strengthen the management of the underworld and the human world.

Of course, it may also be because Zhong Kui has been calculated, and he doesn't want Zhong Kui to return to Heaven and become the Tiankui Star Monarch again, so with Zhong Kui's soul, it is easy to become a ghost king.

As for the cause of Du Ping and Zhong Quinoa, this is not difficult, the two knew each other before, and Zhong Kui also agreed that in this era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, Zhong Kui's eldest brother is his father, and if Zhong Quinoa marries Du Ping, then he must marry, at most, it is just a little twists and turns for Du Ping to accept.

However, it seems that Du Ping's writing is mediocre, so he has the title of the gold list, this is not difficult, it is really not good, can you still ask the examiner to "help", this is not difficult for Qiu Ming at all.

As for now, let's make friends with Zhong Kui first.

……

Zhong Kui and fellow villager Du Ping went to Beijing to take the exam, but Zhong Kui's parents were both dead, and his family was in the middle of the road, so he didn't have the money to enter Beijing at all. He has already passed the examination, he can become a small official, or even become a staff member of his hometown officials, and if he performs well in the future, he can also be recommended to enter the office.

But fellow villager Du Ping insisted that he come to Beijing to take the exam, and if he was admitted to the Jinshi, then he could be an official directly, so why take those detours? Du Ping is well aware of Zhong Kui's literary knowledge, and he is nine out of ten stable in the Jinshi examination, and it is not impossible to even become the champion.

Zhong Kui doesn't have money, it doesn't matter, I have money, I'll lend it to you. In the future, if you become an official, just give it back to me. And this has another benefit to Du Ping, he thinks that Zhong Kui will definitely be able to be a bigger official than him in the future, and this kindness will also be an opportunity for him to rise in the future.

In case he fails to pass the Jinshi examination, he will go to Zhong Kui to be a staff member, and Zhong Kui will definitely remember this kindness in the future, and he will not lose money by promoting him as an official.

And he is indeed good friends with Zhong Kui, and Zhong Kui's character makes him willing to make friends with Zhong Kui. In fact, if Zhong Kui is willing to borrow money, how many squires are willing, as long as Zhong Kui agrees to marry their daughter.

But Zhong Kui was unwilling, he had to start a business first and then start a family, which gave Du Ping a chance.

Du Ping said that the two went to Beijing together, but Zhong Kui did not agree, but asked Du Ping to go first, and he would go back to the capital later. Now Zhong Kui has walked most of the way, and he has stayed in the cheapest inn all the way, eaten the lightest meals, and even eaten cakes with tea many times.

According to his speed, in a few days, it will be time to go to the capital, and then rest for a few days, and then take the exam. This is completely incomparable with Du Ping, Du Ping, like many rich candidates, went to the capital half a year in advance, in order to make some fame first.

Because when the examiner marks the papers, especially when the last round of oral examinations is conducted in the Daming Palace, the reputation is particularly important, and many Jinshi who enter the Daming Palace will not even get a few qualifications, while well-known people can answer a lot of questions, which has a better chance of leaving an impression in the emperor's heart, and can be hand-picked by the emperor as the champion!

What if you can't make a name for yourself? You can also go to the examiners to submit the bank papers, this is also regarded as a vote, if you are selected, you can also be regarded as the examiner's student disciple, and you will have to follow the pace of this examiner in the future.

This is also why many big officials have to compete for the position of chief examiner, so that they can gather a large number of young talents and enrich their wings.

To put it bluntly, it's all about profit.

Today's sun is very big, Zhong Kui is walking on the road, feeling very sunny. His lips were about to chapp, but that wasn't the reason he kept frowning.

Last night, in order to save money, Zhong Kui was reluctant to live in a hotel, so he stayed in a ruined temple outside the city. But in the night he met a lot of ghosts, and beat him up, and he still didn't understand why he was beaten.

Hey, why is there a person in front of him, who seems to be also a scholar, could it be that he is also a candidate who entered Beijing to take the exam?

Qiu Ming arched his hand with a smile: "Where is Brother Tai from, but he entered Beijing to take the exam?" ”

"Zhong Kui, a native of Zhongnan Mountain, has seen Brother Tai, and Brother Tai is also a candidate for the exam?" When others greet each other, Zhong Kui can't stop either, this is the basic etiquette.

"My name is Qiu Ming, and I am not a Jinshi. Brother Tai alone, why don't we go together? ”

Zhong Kui thought that Qiu Ming also entered Beijing to take the exam, but he was not admitted to Jinshi, that is, to take other subjects, such as Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Calculation, Ming Characters, Ming Medicine, etc., these also have many candidates every year, but they are not as great as Jinshi's development potential.

However, he was very curious, looking at Qiu Ming's dress, he didn't look like he was from a poor family, but why was he walking? Even if you don't know how to ride a horse, you can buy a donkey to travel?

But this is not a big deal, and Zhong Kui didn't take it to heart. Since everyone is a candidate, it is possible to become a colleague in the future, and of course you have to make friends.

What's more, he didn't have anyone to talk to along the way, and seeing that he was not far from the capital, he finally met someone who could talk, and he was very happy in his heart.

"Okay, please."
