Chapter Twenty-Nine: Aikidan
On the North Gate Street in Kyoto, Su Yi took out the small wooden plaque engraved with the statue of the evil ghost and looked at it for a long time.
Then he took out a note from his bosom, which read: The mountainside of an unnamed barren mountain three hundred miles east of Yunxiao Town in the southwest of Yuanwu Kingdom.
This is the coordinate of the white fat stall owner who found the small wooden sign.
According to the white fat stall owner, he was a monk from Yuanwu Kingdom, and because he admired the Great Jin Dynasty, the holy land of cultivating immortals, he came to Yuanwu Kingdom from his hometown thousands of miles away.
It took years just to get there, not to mention the dangers along the way.
It is not easy to get to Yuanwu Kingdom from here, not to mention the mountain bandits and robbers on the road, even the customs clearance documents are also prohibitive.
When it comes to customs clearance, Su Yi has a way.
On that day in Qinghe County, Qian Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, had promised him that when he arrived in Kyoto, if he encountered any difficulties, he could go to him.
Su Yi felt that such a trivial matter as customs clearance should be a piece of cake for the waiter of the Ministry of Works.
However, Su Yi is not in a hurry to go to Yuanwu Kingdom now.
The top priority now is to improve one's cultivation.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Su Yi came to Wanbao Tower in the north of the city.
Unlike several other large shops selling pills and magic weapons, Wanbaolou is the only shop officially opened by the Great Jin Dynasty.
Monks who have a certain degree of fame can enjoy some discounts.
After Su Yi walked into the evening newspaper building, only a quarter of an hour later, he walked out with an empty storage bag.
At this time, he was holding a white porcelain bottle in his left hand, which contained two Aiki pills that were also of great benefit to the cultivation of the monks in the foundation building period.
With just two grains, it hollowed out almost all of Su Yi's spirit stones, plus all the materials and magic weapons.
Su Yi can now be described as a poor jingle ring.
However, as long as he took these two Aiki, he could still save him years of hard work.
。。。
Winter goes to spring, and in a blink of an eye, it is spring time.
In the past few months, Su Yi has been meditating and practicing in the inn, and occasionally reading some books related to the imperial examination.
In a few days, it will be the examination, as long as you pass the examination, even if you have a meritorious reputation, you can be regarded as a jinshi and the first.
During the practice, a mysterious monk from the foundation building period came to meet Su Yi.
The man claimed to have been sent by Li Yuanwai.
After Su Yi's exam, he asked Su Yi to go to the drunken incense building in the east of the city to get together.
Zuixianglou is a famous brothel in Kyoto, and Su Yi doesn't know what Li Yuanwai's intention is to ask him to go to Zuixianglou for a get-together.
However, as long as he passed the Jinshi examination, even if he completed the task, Su Yi would definitely have to ask for the auxiliary formation required by the mutant thunder spirit root at that time.
。。。
In the blink of an eye, it was time to take the exam.
This is a triennial event in Kyoto, and students from all walks of life come from thousands of miles to get ahead and be named on the gold list.
The test will be held at Hallym Temple.
As with the children's exam, the test was held in a huge ritual vessel.
There are various complicated formations in the magic weapon to prevent candidates from cheating.
Su Yi easily finished the exam.
The list will be released in January, and it will be nothing to be idle anyway, Su Yi is going to go to the Ministry of Works' Shilang's Mansion to inquire about the customs clearance documents.
。。。
The mansion of the Ministry of Works' squire was very large, and Su Yi was sitting in a small pavilion drinking tea at this time.
After reporting his name, the subordinates in the Shilang Mansion didn't say a word, and led Su Yi into the mansion.
And said: "After hearing that Childe entered Beijing, Lord Shilang has always wanted to meet with Childe, but unfortunately Lord Shilang has been busy with official business recently and has not had time. ”
"Lord Shilang specially instructed that as long as the son comes, no matter whether the Lord Shilang is not there, he will stay for a few nights."
In this way, although the waiter of the Ministry of Works was not at home, Su Yi couldn't shirk it, so he had to stay in the waiter's house for a few days.
was drinking tea, and suddenly a child's voice sounded in the corner: "Crickets, crickets, where are my crickets?" ”
When I looked closely, it was a seven or eight-year-old kid, dressed quite luxuriously, but his face was childish.
It looks like it's supposed to be the son of the Ministry of Works.
Su Yi realized that this might be the inner hall of the mansion of the Ministry of Works, that is, the residence of relatives such as female dependents and nephews.
As an outsider, Su Yi should not be in this kind of place for a long time, and he plans to go to the study room on the Shilang Mansion to sit down.
When I stood up and was about to leave, I heard a chirp from under my feet.
Then came the little boy's wail.
"My cricket, my cricket that you killed, I want you to pay for it."
The little kid grabbed Su Yi's sleeve and didn't let him leave.
Su Yi was angry and funny: "I didn't mean to, your cricket got under my feet by itself, and it was it that found death by itself." ”
If it weren't for Su Yi's good impression of the Ministry of Works, and he wanted to get the customs clearance document from him, Su Yi would have slapped this bear child a long time ago.
"I don't care, I don't care, my crickets are what you trampled to death, you compensate me, woo woo."
The little kid grabbed Su Yi's sleeve and refused to let him go.
Just as the little boy was making a noise, a young girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, came out from behind the wall.
Although he is young, he has fair skin, and his goose egg face is very delicate, and he looks like a little beauty embryo.
Seeing this, the girl stopped in front of the little boy and said, "Don't bully your brother." ”
After speaking, she took a few steps back, obviously she was very scared of Su Yi, a strange man, but she had to stand up for her brother.
Su Yi smiled lightly, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a gentle force sent the little boy and girl a foot away from him.
"You, you're a monk? It's strange, there is a monk like you in the Shilang Mansion, how come I have never seen one? ”
The little kid wiped his tears and asked curiously.
"Little one, since you know I'm a monk, do you want to play a game? If you win, Su will catch a bigger cricket and pay you a prize. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the beautiful girl and said, "You also want to participate." ”
Su Yi is still quite interested in this brave little Lori.
Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's fun to tease little Lori.
The girl shook her head timidly: "I... I don't play. ”
At this moment, another person came out from the corner, this person was a teenager, about seventeen or eighteen years old, a little older than Su Yi looked.
"Bold, you dare to bully today...
Before he could finish speaking, the little kid winked at the boy.
The young man quickly changed his words and said, "You dare to bully the son of the waiter, should you be in the vegetable market?" ”
Su Yi smiled: "It was your Lao Tzu who asked me to come, I have been here for a long time, and I haven't seen him, where did he go?" ”
The young man muttered: "A bridge three hundred miles away from Kyoto is in disrepair, and my father went to repair the bridge, and you will come in a few days, and you are the Su Gongzi that my father often mentions." ”
"It turns out that your surname is Su, master, I will tell you to lose today and you can't find the north." The youngest kid was the most arrogant, shouting.
"Okay, wait until you lose, don't cry." Su Yi laughed.
At that moment, I asked the names of several people.
The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy surnamed Qian Mingzhi was the second son of Qian Li, a waiter in the Ministry of Works.
The seven or eight-year-old little kid is called Wang Bai, and he is not Qian Li's son, but his nephew, and the little Lori is also surnamed Wang, called Wang Mei.
Su Yi asked Qian Zhi to take a few books, tore off a few pages, folded them into four corners, one for each person, and put them on the ground.
"This one is called the Four Corners. As long as you pat the ground with your hands and turn the corners upside down, the one who tops over the most is considered the winner. ”
This is a game that Su Yi used to play when he was a child in his previous life.
This time I teased little Lori in the squire's mansion, which can be regarded as a memory of childhood.
The three of them were very curious, Wang Bai was very strong, rolled up his sleeves, and took the first shot.
However, because he was a child, his hands were very small, and he slapped a few times, but he didn't knock over a single corner.
Qian Zhi was very respectful to the girl and insisted on letting the girl shoot first.
The girl was embarrassed at first, then patted it lightly, and gave up without even getting dust.
When it was Su Yi's turn, Su Yi patted lightly, and the four corners immediately flipped over.
"No, no, you are a monk, of course you can shoot easily." Wang Bai shouted unconvinced.
"Okay, then let's bet on something else." Su Yi smiled slightly.
Next, Su Yi gambled with Wang Bai on sieves, hopscotch, and landlords.
The results were all Su Yi's wins without exception.
Just when Wang Bai was depressed, Su Yi dodged, came to the corner of the wall, and stretched out his hand to catch two crickets.
One was thrown to Wang Bai, and the other was thrown to Wang Mei, and the cricket jumped on top of Wang Mei's head, making her jump to her feet in fright.
"This should be your reward for playing games with me." Su Yi muttered.
。。。
A few days later, Su Yi walked out of the Shilang Mansion with the customs clearance document in hand.
He never saw the squire in the mansion, but after hearing the purpose of his trip, the squire's subordinates still got him a customs clearance paperwork.
"Wang Bai, Wang Bai, Wang Jiabai will soon be the emperor! Wang Mei, Wang Mei, Wang Shang's sister, it seems that these two little children are not simple. ”
After returning to the inn, Su Yi muttered to himself.
It is rumored that the current saint is only eight years old, and the saint has an older sister, who is only twelve years old.
Su Yi suspects that the little kid and the little Lori are the current saints and princesses.
However, he has no interest in the Dajin royal family, he just thinks that the princess is very cute today.
