Chapter 7: The Temple Opens!
The next morning, the entire Linchuan City woke up early, but did not hear the familiar sound of reading aloud, and the major private schools approved a day of vacation, in order to let the hard-working students experience the atmosphere of the temple in advance.
Today is the opening day of the Holy Temple.
As soon as the temple is opened every year, experienced hawkers gather in front of the temple with their carts early, occupy a good position, and sell them in full swing, which is quite like a market.
In the midst of the crowd, many children were riding on the shoulders of their own adults, poking their heads to look ahead, and after seeing that the legendary temple Zhu was just an ordinary-looking young monk, they all lost interest in disappointment.
Tang Ji finally squeezed all the way to the temple, biting a scallion pancake in his mouth, the top hat on his head had been squeezed to the side, and his clothes were so messy that it was as if he had been taken by more than a dozen girls from Chunxilou.
"Brother Tang, it's easy and happy to walk behind you!" a boy with a thin figure like Chai He came out from behind Tang Ji and said with a smile.
Tang Ji took a bite of the scallion pancake angrily, and said vaguely: "Grandma, you are relaxed, but uncle's shoes were almost stepped on!"
The thin boy smiled and teased: "But why does Brother Tang always squeeze other people's girls, just now I clearly saw that you grabbed a handful of other people's Xiao Yun's breasts!"
When Tang Ji heard this, he was not ashamed or annoyed, raised his big fat claw and grabbed two handfuls of air in the air, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's still a little smaller, it doesn't feel good, what do you little fart know?"
was called a little fart child, Fang Xiaole was obviously unwilling, and immediately countered: "Hmph, be careful that I tell Steward Wu about this!"
Tang Ji couldn't help but shrink his neck, and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, let's go, the big guys have already arrived." ”
Saying that, Tang Ji led Fang Xiaole and continued to walk forward, over there, Xu Yi and the others had already arrived, but when they saw Tang Ji's arrival, no one greeted him, but their eyes showed disdain.
Among children, they have always judged people by their appearance, and with Tang Ji's bloated figure, he has never been welcomed in private schools, so Tang Ji only has two friends, Su Wen and Fang Xiaole.
In this city examination, Fang Xiaole was also on the list, and the two families lived very closely, so they came hand in hand.
Others looked down on him, and Tang Ji didn't bother to put a hot face on his cold ass, and stood silently on the other side with Fang Xiaole, whispering something.
Fang Xiaole soon noticed that Tang Ji seemed to be a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, Brother Tang will also be nervous?"
"Bullshit, what scene has you never seen, what is a mere holy temple?" said this, Tang Ji's gaze drifted away a little, and he kept glancing into the distance.
"I don't know if Su Wen is out of the city, it will be bad if he is stopped by the garrison!" Tang Ji took a worried bite of the scallion pancake, obviously not nervous about the temple.
Of course, Fang Xiaole didn't know this, and thought that Tang Ji was being strong, so he couldn't help patting the other party's thick shoulder, and sighed faintly: "It's a pity that Little Brother Su didn't get in." ”
Tang Ji replied vaguely, but said no more.
After a while, the only temple in the temple slowly moved out, and when he saw this, the surroundings immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes were focused on this little monk with a beautiful face.
After clearing his throat, Miao Zhu said: "According to the usual practice, today is the day of the annual opening of the academic position for my students in Linchuan City, thanks to the blessing of the hundred saints, I have become more and more prosperous in the past hundred years, and the demons dare not invade!
The current ten students of the temple said in unison: "I will live up to the grace of God!"
Nodding, Miao Zhu took out a list, and then read out the first name of the head: "Xu Yi!"
"The student is here!" Xu Yi stepped forward, dressed in white and snowy, with pride written on his face.
Miao Zhu didn't say much, just stretched out a pair of jade-like palms and gently pressed them on the top of Xu Yi's head, and then, on Xu Yi's body, a faint golden luster gradually floated.
Only the light supports!
Xu Yi stood in place, not feeling any difference in his body, but his brain instantly became much clearer, he raised his head and looked in the direction of his father outside the field, and the pride on his face became thicker and thicker.
Soon, Miao Zhu raised his palm and read out the next name on the list, Xu Yi bowed slightly to thank Miao Zhu, and then stood next to him.
Then Tang Ji, Fang Xiaole and others also stepped forward to accept Caiguang's support, and the whole process lasted for a long time of incense, and when the last person's body also emitted golden light, Miao Zhu's face already looked tired.
Ten 15-year-old boys stood outside the temple gate, their bodies glowing with a faint golden light, and they looked enviable.
Among the ten people, almost all of them were a little impatient, and they all looked into the temple, but they couldn't open their mouths to urge, they could only secretly suppress the excitement and excitement in their hearts.
There were only two people, but their attention was not on the holy temple behind them at the moment.
There was a sneer on the corner of Xu Yi's mouth, his fists clenched slightly, and he thought of a person's name in his heart.
Tang Ji's big face was wrinkled, and he was worried in his heart, thinking about a person's name.
At this time, two things happened at the same time.
One of them was that Miao Zhu finally waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Enter the Holy Temple!"
The students cheered in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to rush inside, but everyone saw that Xu Yi, who was the top of the city examination, did not move, so they were not embarrassed to move first.
Fang Xiaole laughed at Tang Ji for being nervous beforehand, but in fact, he was really nervous at this time, so he didn't move when he saw Tang Ji's mountain-like body not moving beside him.
Neither Xu Yi nor Tang Ji moved, because they both saw the second thing.
Or rather, they saw a carriage slowly approaching from the street outside the temple.
Tang Ji recognized the carriage at a glance as the spacious cart he had carefully selected yesterday, and his heart chuckled, and his lips turned a little white.
Xu Yi couldn't recognize the carriage, but he recognized the figure leaning out of the window of the carriage, and snorted coldly in his heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more cold.
There were too many people in front of the temple, but they didn't understand what was happening at this time, why did Miao Zhu obviously call to enter the temple, but the ten students were still motionless?
How is this different from previous years?
Xu Ling also frowned slightly, he was the first to notice his son's strange appearance, and was about to figure out what was going on, when a commotion came from behind him.
As the general of the Linchuan City Garrison Mansion, even if today is the day the Holy Temple opens, Xu Ling doesn't have to do it himself, after all, the Holy Temple has to be opened once a year, but this time he came, because there was his son standing in front of the Holy Temple.
But at this moment, a strange thing happened that Xu Ling had never seen in Linchuan City for decades, and he couldn't help but look back.
The people were still immersed in puzzlement and confusion, and they heard the neighing of the horses behind them, and they retreated to both sides as if they were conditioned, and the carriage slowly drove along the road where the crowd had given way, and slowly drove in front of the temple!
Immediately, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and two figures, one large and one small, jumped out of the carriage.
Su Wen stood at the foot of the steps of the holy temple, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took Su Yu's little hand and slowly walked towards the steps, smiling.
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
"Su Wen, you're crazy!" Tang Ji was the first to react, he took a step and ran to the bottom of the steps, grabbed Su Wen's shoulder, his face full of anxiety.
Su Wen replied with a smile: "It's a bit of a loss for you to spend so much money to hire a carriage, but you only walked less than two miles." ”
Tang Ji hurriedly said: "I'm not talking about this, why are you here! How are you, why don't you have ......?"
"Why didn't you run?" Su Wen raised his eyebrows slightly, patted Tang Ji's chest with a smile, and said, "Today is the day when the Holy Temple opens, how can I miss it?"
Seeing that Tang Ji seemed to be about to cry out in a hurry, Su Wen comforted again: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart!"
As he spoke, Su Wen took another step forward, his gaze swept over Tang Ji and fell on Xu Yi's body.
"I really didn't expect that you would dare to come here, it seems that you can't wait to die?Or are you here to beg me for mercy?" Xu Yi sneered at the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at Su Yu, a trace of obscenity couldn't help but flash in his eyes.
After that, several other friends around Xu Yi also reacted, and mocked one after another: "Su Wen, it seems that you are still quite knowledgeable about current affairs, now kneel down and kowtow to Xu Gongzi to admit your mistakes, and then offer your family's cheap maid, maybe Xu Gongzi will consider sparing your dog's life!"
"Yes, yes, it's not too late to beg for mercy, if you wait a while for Xu Gongzi to get the position, it won't be too late!"
Under the different opinions, Su Wen's face did not change, and continued to walk forward with a smile, and Xu Yi saw this, the haze on his face became a little heavier, he couldn't help but think, could it be that this Su Wen would be stupid enough to want to assassinate himself in front of the holy temple?
Today is different from the past, before the holy temple, there is a temple on the side, and his father is not far away to escort him, if this Su Wen dares to do it here and now, he is definitely looking for death!
It's just a pity that killing him like this is inevitably too cheap.
Xu Yi thought so, Su Wen had already come to a place less than a foot in front of him, and at the same time, a cold drink suddenly sounded.
"Bold! On the day the temple opens, who dares to make trouble!"
As soon as the words came out, Su Wen suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of oppression smashing towards him, and the next moment, a tall figure stopped in front of him.
The tiger's eyes are like lightning, and his angry beard is slightly open, it is the city garrison general, Xu Yi's father, Xu Ling!
Seeing that a pair of big hands were about to press on his shoulders and capture himself, Su Wen withstood the pressure like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, straightened his chest, and said righteously: "Dare to ask the general, which holy law did I, Su Wen, commit? Why did the general take me down in front of everyone's eyes? Does the general want to bend the law for personal gain!"
Three questions, like a shock, smashed on the steps in front of the holy temple, making everyone secretly frightened: "What kind of character is this Su Wen, who dares to confront General Xu in public!"
Hearing this, Xu Ling's figure paused slightly, sneered, and then shouted: "You are not a student on the city examination list, but you want to break into the holy temple at this time, your heart is unpredictable, shouldn't you be arrested!"
When Su Wen heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Seeing Su Wen's smile, Tang Ji was suddenly stunned, but Xu Ling and Xu Yi, father and son, suddenly felt in their hearts, as if something bad was about to happen.
Then, Su Wen's voice became softer, he turned around, looked at the temple next to him, and bowed slightly: "The holy law stipulates that all young people who have reached the age of 15 can enter the holy temple to open their minds, and there is no requirement to be on the list of the city exam, I don't know if it's true?"
Miao Zhu glanced at Su Wen deeply, ignored Xu Ling's angry gaze on the side, nodded lightly, and smiled: "Not bad." ”
Xu Yi reflexively exclaimed: "This is impossible!"
Xu Ling suddenly clenched his fists, grabbed Su Wen's collar, and said in a cold voice: "Having said that, but without the support of talent, why did you enter the Holy Temple? If it is because you enter the Holy Temple, and the students on the city examination list are delayed to obtain the academic position, then it is a broken rule!"
Su Wen didn't expect that at the moment of the Holy Law, Xu Ling was still so tough, and his heart suddenly sank, and at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded.
"What are the rules? The holy law is the rule! General Xu's move, do you want to ignore the holy law and cover the sky with one hand!"
Before the words fell, Su Wen suddenly felt the sense of oppression on his body receding like a tide, and then a familiar figure slowly approached.
The lord of the castle is here!
