CHAPTER XV

Scholars rushing to take the exam

————————————

......

"And what if they're bad people and remember our faces?"

"Don't worry, they can't remember!"

......

More than a dozen miles away, not long after the twenty or so people left, the young man in the lead suddenly asked, "Do you remember the faces of those people just now?"

"I don't remember!"

"No, why am I so dizzy that I can't even remember a person's face?"

......

Looking back at the ravine, Jiang Heng closed the bottle of opened medicine.

"It's a magic potion, it's meant to confuse your opponent!"

Jiang Heng threw it to Zhang Junbao: "If you encounter an opponent who can't be dealt with, you will drug him." As long as you can survive, there is no shame in these means!"

Zhang Junbao knew that Jiang Heng was teaching him how to learn to protect himself step by step.

After ten years of hard study, he was just a scholar, and his insights came mostly from books. He had very little contact with people, let alone monks.

Luckily, he met Jiang Heng, a patient and old fritter teacher.

He would teach Zhang Junbao step by step how to learn to be a real monk.

The four of them set off again.

Jiang Heng continued to use his words and words to pretend to be a scholar.

Jiang Liuer is a scholar.

Zhang Junbao continued to use his name Junbao, and Zhangwu became their bodyguard along the way.

The three of them pretended to be ordinary scholars, but they had a bodyguard of the real martial arts realm.

Clear-eyed people only understand at a glance that these three little ones must be extraordinary masters, and Jiang Heng obviously showed this deliberately.

As for the matter of the flower thief, put it on hold for the time being.

After the four left, seven of the thirty-seven who had fallen to the ground woke up.

These seven people were the best cultivators among them and were selected by Jiang Heng to become the candidates for the Ghost Warrior Legion.

When they learned from their minds that the mastermind behind them was a high-ranking official in Nanqi Prefecture, Jiang Heng knew that he needed to investigate this matter slowly.

The top priority is to go to the state capital to take the exam first.

......

There is not much left to get to the state capital.

Step by step, time slowed down. But Jiang Heng's intentions are obvious, he needs to let Jiang Liuer and Zhang Junbao understand each other as soon as possible......

This kind of intention, the two obviously understand.

But there is more discussion between the two than understanding.

To Jiang Liu'er's surprise, Zhang Junbao, a scholar, actually knew Buddhist scriptures, many of which had the same ideas as himself, but Zhang Junbao supported the Taoist doctrine that Jiang Liuer was not particularly clear to most extent.

The two discussed and understood all the way.

For Jiang Heng, who was watching, it had a special meaning:

Tang Sanzang and Zhang Sanfeng have a bit of an interesting story about the scriptures.

......

Half a month later.

The figures of the four finally appeared on the official road outside the Nanqi Prefecture Mansion.

Looking at the front of the city alone, it was ninety-nine feet high.

So high that it stabbed into the clouds.

It is worthy of being the largest city in Nanqi Prefecture, and it is indeed not comparable to ordinary small countries.

But the strange thing is that only the south side of the ninety-nine high walls is on the south side, and the rest of the walls on the east, west, and north sides are only twenty zhang high.

And judging from the materials used to build the walls, as well as the condition that has been shown so far, it is clear that the remaining three walls were built later.

As for the south wall, it is said that it has been handed down since ancient times.

It is rumored that the defense of this wall is extremely high, and even the strongest Martial Emperor of the human race today wants to break through the city wall by himself, it is almost impossible.

The four of them went all the way to the south because they were tracking down the flower thief. Enter the city through the south gate.

After passing the checkpoint, it is the bustling Nanqi Prefecture Mansion.

Outside the city walls was a wide avenue, and when you entered the city gate, the width of the main street was not much narrower than the avenue.

High-rise buildings stand on both sides. People come and go, and business goes on as usual.

Shuttling through the crowd, Jiang Heng and the four of them began to become small. If it is placed in a place like the capital of Qingyan Kingdom, the appearance of a master of the True Martial Realm will definitely cause quite a stir. But here, just after walking a few steps away from the door, Jiang Heng and the four of them encountered no less than three True Martial Realm masters haunting the crowd.

Jiang Heng had a lot of memories about Nanqi Prefecture that he got from those flower thieves in his mind.

All kinds of big families gather here, and the four major families headed by the Nangong family are the most famous wealthy families in Nanqi Prefecture. The rest of the lower-level families are also a group of families that are rich and rival the country.

The country here is naturally a small country like Qingyan Province.

But even if a nobleman with the general status of the ancient country of Nanqi Prefecture came to this Nanqi Prefecture Mansion, he didn't necessarily have much face.

Because here, there are too many small countries, treasure countries, upper countries, and ancient countries mixed here.

Among the branches of these countries, Qingyan Country only belongs to the level of the Treasure Country.

The treasure country can be in charge of some small countries. Above the treasure country, there is also the kingdom of Shang, the ancient country.

Therefore, the identity of the deputy head of the Qingyan Ancient Sect of Qingyan Country cannot help Jiang Heng gain much courtesy and respect here.

To establish himself here, he needs to regain a new identity and status for himself.

For example, alchemists, and alchemists.

Even if it is placed here in the Nanqi Prefecture Mansion, the identity of the fourth-grade alchemist is also the object of many families' efforts.

Because they are very short of medicine, but also because they have a group of high-level alchemists under them, they are themselves a status symbol.

At this moment, after a period of precipitation, Jiang Heng's level of refining medicine has reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist.

So after they entered the city, they approached the vicinity of the alchemy. It's not like you're going to start taking the alchemist qualification right now.

Instead, the refining industry is generally located in a relatively prosperous area, where there are many people and can get a lot of useful information.

Two scholars, a scholar, and a bodyguard.

Walking on the street is inconspicuous because there are too many conspicuous things.

For example, the car brought up by the flying demon beast that flies in the sky from time to time should be the movement of a big family or high-ranking official passing by.

There were also quite a few outsiders who came from the border Fanbang, although they also fell under the jurisdiction of Nanqi Prefecture. But because of the difference in skin color and clothing, they can attract far more attention than Jiang Heng.

The four of them squeezed out of the bustling crowd and finally settled in a medium inn.

It seems that because the day of the recent literary examination and martial arts examination is approaching, most of the rooms in the inn are already full.

Jiang Heng and the four of them only found two upper rooms, but they were enough for them.

After putting the luggage into the room, the four of them gathered in Jiang Heng's room.

Open the window and look out at the street, with the layers of buildings connected to each other.

Jiang Liu'er opened her mouth and asked, "Brother, when are you going to see her?"

Jiang Heng replied, "Wait a few days." Maybe after the end of the exam......"
