"Oh? You've only seen my Dao Fa, but you don't even know where I come from, so you dare to invite me to the Daoist Academy to talk about the Fa? Aren't you afraid that I'm a demon and a villain? ”

"Although the old man doesn't know that Your Excellency is a teacher of the lintel, he knows that Wang Hong and Yang Ju both have great respect for Your Excellency. It shows that your Excellency is a valuable character and can be a teacher. The old man can call the shots, hire Mr. as a doctor, and only wait for Mr. slowly. Li Zhongyan looked expectant.

"I'm too lazy to be a doctor."

Li Zhongyan was immediately disappointed.

However, he was not depressed, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked again: "I don't dare to restrain Mr. in terms of time, when Mr. is free, he will come to our Taoist Academy to preach the Fa and discuss the Tao, and our Taoist Academy will be a doctor's gift, and we will definitely not dare to lose money in terms of restraint, what does Mr. think?" ”

"Since we say when you're free, we'll talk about it when you're free."

Li Zhongyan was overjoyed.

Chen Wang did not directly refuse, but he had the opportunity.

He didn't dare to say anything more, and after drinking tea, he respectfully said goodbye and left.

……

Besides, Wang Hong, the last time he returned late at night, he bumped into a group of ghosts crossing the street, but fortunately next to it was the Zhao family in Xicheng, hiding in front of the Zhao family and escaping the catastrophe.

But he was frightened one night, and when he came home the next day, he fell ill, and he went to a famous doctor for treatment, but he did not get better, but gradually worsened, so that he was bedridden.

That night, he drank the decoction, fell into a deep sleep, and was awakened in a trance.

When he opened his eyes, he saw two small officials holding a yellow horse and standing in front of him.

These two little officials, one with a green face and the other with a red face, have loose hair, and do not look like living people, but they have a dignified and righteous spirit in them, which does not make people feel afraid.

"Wang Jun was raised as virtuous, and he was specially invited to take the exam." The blue-faced official held the official document and asked Wang Hong to get on the horse.

"I just went to the county magistrate of Yuzhou, how can I be promoted to be virtuous?" Wang Hongda was surprised.

The selection of officials of the Great Summoning Dynasty implements the system of filial piety and honesty.

To promote filial piety, first of all, a group of people with prestige and qualifications will be promoted, and then the imperial court will conduct examinations on these personnel.

Of course, this kind of examination is not the imperial examination system of later generations, but it is much simpler.

The most basic assessment standard is to understand the "Calling Law". This depends on Taizu's sentence back then, "Only those who understand the "Summoning Law" can be officials".

Then, you have to understand some poems, historical classics, etc.; Finally, of course, it is necessary to have a valuable character.

It's just that it has been more than 800 years since the founding of the country, and the channel of filial piety and honesty has been controlled by the Valve, and the subsequent assessment process has long been a formality.

But it is a formality, and that form must also be observed.

Wang Hong has already participated in the "Filial Piety and Honesty" once, and his family has opened the door for him, and he has already stepped into the officialdom, so there is no reason for him to be promoted again as an official.

"We are just petty officials, we don't know this, we just do what we are told. Wang Jun hurry up and get on the horse, wait with me, don't let the adults wait in a hurry. The two little officials were just urging.

There's a lot of oddities in that.

But Wang Hong was confused at this time, and for some reason, he didn't even think about it anymore, agreed, and got up from the bed.

In the past few days, he has been seriously ill and his body is heavy, but at this time he feels very light, as if he has been healed.

turned over the yellow horse and followed the two little officials.

Along the way, I only felt that the road I was walking was very unfamiliar, passing two roadblocks, and there was a river blocking the road in front of me.

This river is so vast that the surface of the river is shrouded in fog, and it is impossible to see the bottom of the river clearly, nor can you see the opposite side, which makes people feel timid.

There are no boats in sight on the river, only a stone bridge, the bluestone bridge deck is dangerous and narrow, very smooth, and there are no railings on either side.

A balding man with a bulging head stands on the bridge, holding a sharp fork, guarding the stone bridge.

"Isn't this green and red? The two of you went on an errand again? ”

"yes. The king summoned this man, and let us bring him over. ”

"Do you have paperwork?"

"Naturally, there is."

The man guarding the bridge greeted the two little officials, Green Face and Red Face, although they knew each other, they were also on official business.

After checking the paperwork, the man guarding the bridge waved his hand and let him go.

Wang Hong walked on the stone bridge, only felt that the soles of his feet were slippery, and he almost fell down, and the river under the bridge was extremely filthy, which scared him out of a cold sweat.

In an instant, Wang Hong's mind cleared up a lot.

At this time, the bridge has been crossed, the road is blue and bright, and the pedestrian shadows are full of shadows, and the appearance is not real, only I feel that there are crooked heads, and there are crawling on all fours......

They don't look like living people, which makes people shudder.

"Where is this? Is there still such a dark place in Yuyang City? Wang Hong asked.

"Have you finally come to your senses, Wang?" The green-faced little man smiled.

"Yuyang City naturally doesn't have this kind of location, you are no longer in Yuyang City." Equity Road.

"Not in Yuyang City? I remembered that I was lying on my couch recuperating, and the two of you suddenly appeared and said that I had been exalted as virtuous, and had me ride a horse, and come with you...... I don't remember we ever going out of the gates. ”

"Of course you don't remember, Wangjun, you're dead." Qingmian Road.

"What?"

Wang Hong's body was shocked, and he understood everything at once.

After a person dies, he often does not know that someone is bound by a wisp of obsession and can continue to live as if he was alive.

But once you are reminded of the truth that you are dead, you will instantly wake up and understand the cause and effect.

"Dead? I have just taken office in Yuyang Ling, my ambition has not been rewarded, and I am in the prime of life, how can I die? Wang Hong mourned.

"There is no size on Huangquan Road, but there are no young and old at the bridge. You're dead, that's why the king asked us to take you. ”

"Don't waste time, let's go. Don't let the king and the adults wait in a hurry, what was originally a good thing will turn into a bad thing. ”

One of the two little officials of Qingmian and Chimian led the horse, and the other grabbed Wang Hong and walked forward.

I don't know how long it took, but a city appeared in front of it, magnificent and magnificent, as if it was not inferior to Luodu.

After entering the city, a palace is splendid and magnificent.

The hall is spacious and majestic, but it does not seem to be very bright. Above the lobby, there were more than a dozen officials, all strangers.

Under the lobby, there are several desks, each with a pouf.

In addition to Wang Hong, there was also a scholar and a rich man, who were each brought over by two officials and stood next to him.

After an official signaled, Wang Hong and the two entered the arena and sat down in front of the case.

After a while, a sawtooth servant brought a few pieces of paper and pens, two of which were exam questions.

The title reads: "Filial piety is the first of all good, and fornication is the first of all evils." What should people in the world do if they break this vow, intentionally or unintentionally? ”

When Wang Hong saw this topic, his body was shocked.

Regarding filial piety, because he couldn't see his father for the last time, he has always felt guilty, which is a knot in his heart.

It wasn't until a few days ago that I saw Chen Wang and listened to Chen Wang's explanation, that I completely opened my heart knot.

As soon as this topic came out now, he immediately thought of what Chen Wang had said.
