Red House, top floor.

Hearing his teacher's calculation, Chen Yun was secretly happy in his heart.

However, he didn't notice in the slightest that there was complexity in Zhong Liquan's eyes.

"When are you leaving for Sun Moon Lake?" Zhong Liquan asked.

Chen Yun put away the joy in his heart, "Time is pressing, I should go back to Daheishan to take a look later, and then rush to Minzhou to meet Qin Ming, Wu Kejiu, Kang Yuan and others." ”

Zhong Liquan frowned slightly and said, "Time is very urgent. ”

Chen Yun sighed and said, "Yes, if it is more lenient, the disciple would like to serve the teacher in the preaching temple for a period of time before going overseas. ”

"Traveling all over the world to find the opportunity to become an immortal is also a serious thing." Zhong Liquan seemed to be very calm and said: "Although the teacher pinched your fingers for you, the result was lucky, however, after all, the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven is a part of the Yingzhou Wonderland, I am afraid that the calculation may not be completely accurate, in this way, for the teacher to give you three wisps of immortal qi, each wisp can keep you safe once." ”

This is equivalent to buying insurance for yourself!

Chen Yun was overjoyed, "Thank you." ”

Zhong Liquan bowed slightly, didn't say anything more, just stretched out his hand, and three wisps of golden immortal qi burst out from his fingertips.

With a flick of his fingers, three wisps of immortal qi disappeared into Chen Yun's hair.

"These three wisps of immortal qi will naturally play a role when you encounter the danger of life and death."

Zhong Liquan introduced the effect of immortal qi, "If you want to take the initiative to use it, touch the top door, and touch the three extremely hard hairs, you can choose to pull out one of them, and then spew out the true qi in your mouth, and meditate on what you want to do in your heart, whether it is ever-changing, or blessed to yourself, or turned into an invincible magic weapon, it can also be completed for you, but you have to remember that once the immortal qi is used, it can only last for one cup of tea, and after a cup of tea, the immortal qi will dissipate, so if you encounter something urgent to use the immortal qi, It must be done in one cup of tea. ”

Chen Yun memorized this information and thanked him again.

He never thought that when he came back this time to ask his teacher to calculate a hexagram for him, he had an unexpected joy and obtained three wisps of life-saving immortal qi.

At the end, Zhong Liquan waved his hand, "Go find your own way." ”

Chen Yun knelt down and kowtowed three times, "Teacher, I don't know when the disciple will be able to return here, I hope you take care." ”

……

Leave Jungnam Mountain.

Chen Yunteng drove the fog in the direction of the Great Black Mountain.

Standing between the clouds and looking down, he couldn't help but think back to the past.

Before I knew it, more than four years had passed, and I didn't know what happened to my father, mother, and younger siblings.

Chen Yun seemed to be in a trance, and he always felt that he couldn't even remember what his father's younger siblings looked like.

It's not like he hasn't traveled far, but there has never been a time when he needs to travel so far as this one.

Naturally, he wanted to see if the family he had lived in for sixteen years was doing well now, otherwise, he would never be at ease.

"I don't know how the second sister is." Chen Yun's thoughts soared, "I remember that when I left, she was only ten years old, and now more than four years have passed, counting the year that passed not long after I first came to the missionary temple, she should be fifteen years old now. ”

Four or five years have passed in a flash, and Chen Yun still vaguely remembers that when he was in Daheisheng, his sister was like a fart, shouting "brother, brother" behind him every day.

There is also the third brother, in the busy autumn season, he took him to work in the field, this kid always catches and pulls toads, and the second sister is so scared that she can't stop crying there.

As for the fourth brother, Chen Yun spent the shortest time with him, and his memory was not particularly profound.

"Time flies!"

Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a little sad, it turned out that he had unconsciously grown from a sixteen-year-old boy to a twenty-one-year-old young man with a weak crown.

The clouds are getting closer to the Great Black Mountain.

The thoughts in his mind were churning.

I think that at the beginning, my father and mother occasionally went to visit relatives to bring some food back, and called themselves to get up and eat in the middle of the night, as if it was so far away, and it seemed like something happened yesterday.

Finally, we have arrived at our destination.

Chen Yunqiang endured the emotions in his heart, pressed the cloud head on the loess path in the distance, and then walked forward slowly.

The muddy path in my memory, the stones moved down from the big black mountain at the entrance of the village, are placed messily as if they were no different from before.

He has a feeling of returning to his childhood, and one night, he took his mother's hand and returned home by moonlight.

The closer he got to the entrance of the village, the more volatile his emotions became.

That feeling that he couldn't help but shake his Dao heart so strongly.

Thinking about it, Chen Yun slowly stepped into the village.

As soon as he stepped into the village, he saw the lights in front of him, and the sound of gongs and drums came, as if there was some happy event.

Chen Yun's eyesight was so good, he looked forward a little, and saw that the dilapidated stone house in the original location of his house was gone, replaced by a luxurious courtyard, and there were many villagers around him, who were helping to find something.

Looking inside, there was a young man who looked very similar to himself a few years ago, wearing silk and satin, and a big red flower hanging on his chest.

There is also a vertical banner hanging at the door, which clearly reads "Congratulations to Chen Feng for winning the first place in the Ming Jing Science Interpretation Examination".

Chen Feng is the name of his third brother.

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the eleven or twelve-year-old third brother would pass the examination and win the top spot four or five years after he left home.

The Tang Imperial Examination only has a solution test and a provincial examination, and there is no higher-level palace examination.

It belongs to the Qin State, but because of the rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Qin State also implemented the Tang imperial examination system, so there are six subjects to be examined, namely Xiucai Branch, Ming Jing Branch, Jinshi Branch, Ming Law Branch, Ming Character Department and Ming Arithmetic Department.

In addition to the above six regular examination subjects, there are also children's subjects for prodigies, special examinations for Hongwenguan and Chongwenkan, Taoist courses for those with high morals, etc., and martial arts were opened during the Wu Zetian period to select martial arts, mainly to examine the art of war, martial arts, etc.

The candidates who participated in the imperial examination were mainly divided into two parts, namely the apprentices and the xianggong.

The so-called apprentices refer to students who have graduated from government-run schools, and they do not need to take local examinations, but directly take the "provincial examinations".

Xianggong refers to those who have completed through self-study or private school, and they need to pass the local examination first, and then go to the capital to take the "provincial examination".

Obviously, Chen Yun's younger brother Chen Feng participated in the imperial examination in the second way.

In this way, it is generally necessary to go through two examinations at the county and the state, and those who pass the examination will be certified by the county to obtain the qualification to participate in the state examination.

At the state level, Si Gong joins the army, which is generally carried out in August and September, so it is also called "Qiufu".

After passing the exam, the state will issue a "letter of solution" to those who pass.

Candidates who have obtained the "resolution" will be changed to "Xianggong", also known as Juzi, and are qualified to participate in the provincial examination.

Of course, this is the system of Datang.

In order to avoid students choosing to go to the Tang Dynasty to seek employment, the Qin State often placed the state test in the spring, that is, the spring season.

Chen Yun's former family could not afford to go to a private school, let alone participate in the imperial examination.

He estimated that he entrusted Huang Sanye to bring back a lot of gold, and the family had money, so he trained his third brother to go to private school and take the scriptures.

This subject is more memorable, and it is very advantageous when you are young.

He was happy for his third brother, and at the same time, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

One or two hundred villagers gathered around the courtyard and pointed at Chen Feng.

"Lao Chen is so blessed."

"San Lang High School is at the top of the Ming Jing Science and Technology Interpretation Test, and it is developed."

"And his daughter is also married to the son of a wealthy merchant in Xigou City, I really envy that she gave birth to such a good child."

"I heard that all this comes from his family's eldest lang, I have heard rumors that his eldest man worshiped under the immortal sect in Zhongnan Mountain, therefore, our Qin country is up and down, it is very close to the old Chen family, his family's third lang can get the first place in the Ming Jingke, and the second girl married the son of a wealthy businessman as his wife, all thanks to the blessing of the eldest lang."

The noisy gossip of the villagers came and went.

Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but look inside again, and vaguely found that there was a woman who looked very similar to the second sister, but now she was slim, and she was standing with a young man in brocade clothes, if she was not mistaken, this woman was the second sister, and the young man was her sister-in-law.

He watched with mixed feelings.

Looking carefully towards the lobby, the father with gray temples, the mother wearing gold and silver jewelry, and the six or seven-year-old children led by the mother all made Chen Yun's heart tremble.

Even, he saw Huang Sanye standing inside to congratulate.

Unconsciously, Chen Yun had already arrived at the door of the courtyard.

He really wanted to step in and recognize his parents, but he couldn't take that step.

Suddenly, someone noticed him.

It was Aunt Li at the entrance of the village, she blinked her eyes and said, "Dao Chief, I think you are three points similar to Lao Chen, are you a relative of his family?" ”

Chen Yun wanted to say that he was the eldest man of the Chen family, but when the words came to his lips, it became something else, "Oh, I am a wandering Taoist priest, and I happened to pass by here, my mouth dried up, and I wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

As she was talking, her mother seemed to have noticed Chen Yun who was talking to Aunt Li, after all, the Taoist monk had a very high status in this world, she hurriedly led the fourth brother and walked forward quickly, bowed down and said, "Daoist, there is a happy event in my family today, do you want to come in and have lunch together?" ”

Father, Huang Sanye and others all looked over.

Chen Yun saw that Huang Sanye seemed to recognize him, and while hurriedly waving his hand at his mother, he used his divine sense to transmit a consciousness, signaling the other party not to break it, but said in his mouth: "No, Poor Dao is just a little thirsty and wants to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

The mother hurriedly said, "Okay, the Taoist chief will wait here, and I'll fetch you water." ”

She turned and went into the house.

Chen Yun stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited, his eyes were still looking at his father, younger brothers and sisters, and the emotions in his heart became more and more turbulent.

Not long after, my mother came out with a bowl of water and said with a smile, "Dao Chief, please use water." ”

"Thank you."

Chen Yun took the bowl and put it to his lips to slowly taste the water from the well at home, and a sweetness bloomed in his taste buds.

Although it was just a bowl of water, he drank it with tears in his eyes.

Seeing his posture like this, his mother asked with concern, "Dao Chief, are you okay?" ”

Chen Yun hurriedly drank it all, and made up a reason: "I can see that you are reunited, and you are homesick." ”

"Let's go back and see if you have time, maybe your father and mother miss you very much." The mother sighed kindly: "Just like my eldest man, I have missed him for several years, and I don't know how he is now." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't control his emotions anymore, and tears slipped down his eyes.

He held the bowl tightly in his hand, "Madam, can this bowl be given to the poor road?" ”

"Don't cry, chief." The mother hurriedly comforted: "Take this bowl if you want, and I'll go inside to find some pastries for you, so that you can be hungry when you travel." ”

Chen Yun waved his hand, "No, the grace of giving water is remembered by the poor road." ”

With that, he carefully stuffed the bowl into his arms, turned around and walked out of the village.

Who knows, as soon as he ran to the entrance of the village, his father's shout came from behind, "Dao Chief! Stay! Michigan! ”

Chen Yun, who was already in tears, hurriedly wiped his tears, turned his head to look, and squeezed out a smile, "Sir, is there anything else?" ”

The father stuffed a small cloth bag in his hand into his hand, "There are some pastries in it, you can eat them on the way." ”

Chen Yun nodded vigorously, "Well, the elder doesn't dare to resign, thank you Mr. for the pastry." ”

"You're welcome." The father said with a sad face: "My eldest man is also a Taoist priest, and his appearance seems to be similar to that of my eldest lang, and I really want to see him again." ”

Chen Yun's throat moved several times, and he never said his identity, but forced a smile on his face: "Your eldest man may have come back, but you don't know that Poor Dao is going to Yunyou, sir, we will say goodbye, if we will never see each other again, I hope you and everyone in the family will have good morning, good afternoon, and good night every day." ”

After saying that, he remembered his father's appearance in his heart, turned around and left.

Chen Yun's father was about to turn around and leave, but seeing the sunlight shining on the young Taoist's back, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to the early morning when he saw his son leave.

Suddenly, he seemed to be several years old all of a sudden, with tears in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Da Lang, Daddy is wrong." ”

Although he knew that his son might never hear these words, Lao Chen was still extremely guilty and felt that he owed Da Lang all his life.

Chen Yun is now such a cultivator, naturally he heard his father's muttering, his walking steps couldn't help but pause, and then, once again, he stepped forward firmly, just like that early morning more than four years ago, so resolute, as if there was no concern.

It is enough to know that my father, mother, and younger siblings are doing well.

Chen Yun knew that when he left this loess again, he might not have any ties with his original family in this life and this life.

He knows very well that he will face the vicissitudes of the sea and the vicissitudes of the world in the future, and it is better to keep a distance from his family, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the family if an enemy comes to the door.

As the teacher said, the dynasties have come and gone, just like the carp crossing the river is passing away in a blink of an eye.

Now that my earthly fate has been broken, I can better face loneliness, so as to prove immortality and eternity!
