Chapter 341: The Palace Examination
On this day, the sky is clear, the wind is smooth, 80,000 miles of white clouds float in the sky like catkins, a peaceful and stable color, and under the clear blue sky, among the crowds of people, there is a group of literati and ink writers with a unique temperament who are slowly advancing with a thriving face, and there is a city gate in front of them, on which are written the two words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - Kyoto.
They come from dozens of towns or villages in the country of Yan, and only when they pass the guò examination and stand out in these dozens of towns or villages can they be eligible to participate in the temple examination in Kyoto.
The palace examination is presided over by Emperor Yan, the emperor of the current Yan Kingdom, and the number of examinees is less than 100 people, so if you can stand out in this palace examination and be selected by today's saints, then the future will naturally soar to the sky, and similarly, if the light is lost in these more than 100 people, then the future will naturally be a little more bleak.
And this time, with the expectations of his parents, with the expectations of his partners, with the expectations of Muli, and with his own expectations, Qingyang stepped into the most prosperous central city of Yan Country - Kyoto!
Clenched his fists slightly, Qingyang secretly said in his heart: "This time, I won't disappoint my father and mother again!"
Walking into Kyoto, the traffic is busy, the crowd is crowded, many passers-by see this group of scholars, their eyes are flashing a trace of admiration, in their opinion, this scholar ten years of hard study in exchange for today's palace test, it is really not easy, non-great and resolute generation can not achieve, and more importantly, there are bound to be people in this group of scholars soaring into the sky, when the time comes, there should be a few more talents in the political road in the court, that is a great thing for Yan Guo.
At this moment, Qingyang was looking around, his eyes lingering on some magnificent buildings from time to time, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes. It is said that as long as you are promoted, you will get a house given by the imperial court, and this house is like a magnificent building in front of you.
"I must let my father and mother live in this kind of house!" Qingyang's eyes flashed with a hint of firmness, and his fists clenched even tighter.
Tut!
However, at this time, a strange voice sounded from Qingyang's side, Qingyang looked in the direction of the sound, and then found that he had actually come to a fortune-telling stall, and the owner of the voice was an old man with a lazy gaze.
"Boy, let's come to Kyoto to catch the exam. The old man grinned. Showing a touch of yellowed teeth, his voice was a little obscene.
Seeing this, although Qingyang had some doubts in his heart, out of the courtesy of a scholar, he still arched his hand at the fortune teller. Said: "Xiaosheng is exactly. ”
"Hahaha, the official road is difficult and cunning. Not for you. The old fortune teller laughed. After his eyes looked at Qingyang slightly, he said loudly.
"How can you see that?" Qingyang asked with a frown.
"The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, there is a free and uninhibited atmosphere when walking, and there is a rare clarity and transparency in the eyes, and the official road is a puddle of muddy water. When you walk in with a clean body, you will either be with the light and dust, or you will be independent from the world. The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said.
"Dust with light, independence from the world?" Qingyang was slightly shocked when he heard this. muttered.
"Either way, I'm afraid it's not what you want. The old man continued, but in Qingyang's invisible sight, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Hearing this, Qingyang nodded slightly in his heart, indeed, what he yearns for is the kind of happy life that is relaxed and free, as long as he is happy and comfortable, it doesn't matter what else is, but if he really enters the officialdom, he is afraid that these simple qualities should be lost.
It's just that if he doesn't enter the officialdom, how can he have the ability to change his destiny and how to change the fate of his parents?
Immediately, Qingyang shook his head and said to the fortune teller: "What Mr. said is not unreasonable, but Xiao Sheng only wants to change his fate at present, and he doesn't think about anything else for the time being." ”
After that, Qingyang was about to leave, in his opinion, it didn't make any sense to talk too much to an old fortune teller, because this kind of street fortune telling was mostly just a magic stick.
However, the fortune-telling old man grabbed Qingyang, and he hurriedly said: "Don't go, boy, let the old man take care of your lifeline!"
Immediately, without waiting for Qingyang's reaction, the fortune-telling old man had already buckled Qingyang's wrist, and at the same time, his gaze was like a blade at this moment, and his eyes showed a deep shock after a while, and he muttered to himself: "It's impossible for this kind of thing, how can there be such a thing?"
"Maniac!"
Hearing this, a trace of disgust flashed in Qingyang's eyes, is it really a divine stick? He knew that this kind of deception of a divine stick started from this moment, Qingyang didn't think about his way, so he shook his hand and strode away.
But at this moment, a faint voice came from behind him.
"Definitely. ”
Swish!
In an instant, Qingyang's eyes widened, he stopped! No, he didn't take the initiative to stop at all, he was horrified to find that he couldn't move!
At this moment, everyone in Kyoto seemed to freeze, as if time and space had been frozen.
"Who the hell are you?!" Qingyang's sweat on his forehead immediately fell at this time, and a thick look of shock set off in his heart, and he said silently.
"Hehe, don't rush to go. Your destiny is very peculiar, even the old man can't deduce it, it's interesting, I'm looking forward to your future development. The lazy fortune teller old man swept away the depressed appearance at this moment, and his eyes flashed with a stunning light, and said.
Seeing that Qingyang was still looking at him with shaking eyes, he laughed and said, "By the way, the old man hasn't introduced himself yet." I'm a person from Dishi Zhai, codenamed 007, it's fate to see you today, I'll send you a certain character, hahaha. ”
"Senior, are you the legendary king cultivator?!" Qingyang listened to this, and his heart was even more shocked, because at this moment, a streamer flew into Qingyang's arms from the old man's hand, and it was not bad.
At this time, if Qingyang didn't know that the other party was the legendary king cultivator, it would be too stupid.
"King Cultivator? Hehe, according to your words, he is also a King Cultivator. This reincarnation, if you insist on leaving, then you can use this character, at a critical moment, it can save your life. ”
"Remember, a fixed character, a word can determine the world's people, but its use is only three times!
At this moment, Qingyang's body was already wet with cold sweat, and looking at the people around him, they were still walking on their own, doing their own things, and they didn't notice the strange scene before.
"What the hell is this?" Qingyang reached out and touched his arms, and sure enough, there was a small golden paper talisman, and there was a faint fixed word written on the paper talisman.
"Fixing characters?!"
"It's terrible, I'm actually frozen in life! This method of the king cultivator is simply against the sky! If he intends to kill me, I'm afraid that 100,000 of me will be wiped out in an instant." Qingyang palpitated, patted his heaving chest slightly, and said.
"However, this senior Xiu Wang said that I shouldn't take the official road, he should have his reasons. It's just that, sometimes, some roads must be taken, even if that road is full of thorns!"
"I remember! If he meets him in the future, he will definitely repay it!" Qingyang said secretly in his heart, and immediately sorted out his mood and walked slowly towards the nearest inn. (To be continued......)
