Chapter 43: Seizures
The Township Cultural Meeting, which is a tradition, is held once a year. It is a group of towns and villages on the outskirts of the city that are specially organized for local talents. There are a number of assessment links, dozens of talents come to compete, and the final winner can get the first 1,000 yuan, the second place, 500 yuan, and the third place, 300 yuan.
Under the three, there are seven excellent ones, each of whom gets a hundred.
There are a total of 10 bonus places.
These jackpot prizes are quite attractive to many talents. The content of the assessment is mainly the scriptures and articles, as well as some poems, calligraphy and paintings, etc., in the eyes of the students, it is equivalent to a kind of test and examination, which can not only exercise the level, but also expand communication, and also get money, it is simply a triple win, why not?
The prize money, as well as various activity funds, are all donated by the local squires and wealthy people, which costs a lot of money, but the harvest is not small. In essence, in fact, it is the same as paving bridges and building roads, and being a good man. It can be famous and win people's hearts. In the future, if there are award-winning students who are promoted to high school, or even jinshi, this favor will not be able to run away.
For example, the reason why Wang Fuzi of the academy is willing to favor Chen Tang and give guidance is that he feels that Chen Tang has a future.
These matters are not snobbish realities, but a kind of life truth.
When a person is useless, but thinks about having noble people to help him every day, it is like a village husband and a foolish woman who runs to the temple every day to kowtow and bow down, begging the gods to appear and meet their various needs.
In the end, it was just a dream, empty-handed.
This township cultural association has been organized for many years, and the system is quite perfect. It does not mean that all talented students are qualified to participate, the first premise is that it must be the internal organizational unit of the township cultural association, which is about ten villages and towns; secondly, there is an age limit, and those who are over 40 years old cannot participate.
The old Xiucai is destined to have no future, and there is no need to invest.
Calculating the time, this year's township cultural meeting will be held at the end of this month, and there are still five days to go.
Wang Fu was quite concerned about this matter, he and Chen Tang had just been admitted last year, and immediately participated in the township literary meeting that year, but their performance was average, ranking outside the thirty, and they had no chance to win the award. But to participate in the cultural meeting, you don't need to give any admission fee, you can sign up, you can also get a red envelope of ten cents, and after entering, you can get two sumptuous banquets in the afternoon and evening, such a good thing, where to find?
Therefore, for the township cultural meeting, the talented students who are qualified to participate in it are definitely not to be missed.
Wang Fu remembered Chen Tang, afraid that he would forget, so he found Hanmo Street in Panzhou Mansion from Chenjiazhuang and notified him.
Chen Tang thought of this, and he wanted to participate in the literary meeting. Now, he has almost spent all his money, and he needs a new income to fill the family.
As a student who is determined to win this year's exam, Chen Tang is certainly not afraid of the township literary club. If you can't even get the prize, what else will you go to test?
It's like failing a unit test, and it's hard to hope for a good college dream.
Chen Tang thought about it and was decisive.
Suddenly, there was a slight pain in both wrists, as if they had been handcuffed, tightened, and very uncomfortable.
Chen Tang took a breath of cold air and instantly understood: The stubbornness left by the teacher has attacked!
Counting, this is the second episode.
Cultivating the "Sutra of Good Cultivation", especially after practicing the qi of heaven and man, this made Chen Tang suddenly become extremely confident, feeling that the qi of heaven and man can deal with evil spirits and resentment. In this way, maybe you don't need to be admitted to the lifter, and you can eliminate the attachment of the wrist.
In fact, due to such a long period of time, the attachment of both wrists did not move except for a circle of purple and black, and Chen Tang himself was also forgetting its existence.
However, at this moment, the pain of resentment attacked!
This time, the pain lasted for a short time, and after a few breaths, it disappeared. But it is enough to make Chen Tang remember it vividly.
Thinking of what Zhan Yangchun said, this stubbornness will not occur frequently at the beginning, and its existence is equivalent to a warning, a spur, so that Chen Tang should not be lazy and study diligently - just like the famous cantilever thorn stock.
The difference is that one passively receives and the other actively imposes.
Anyway, the goal is the same: study hard and make progress every day!
Today's sudden attack made Chen Tang realize that this matter was really not so easy and simple. Maybe the Qi of Heaven and Man is indeed useful, but it is still too weak and too weak to handle. According to the current cultivation progress, instead of expecting to cultivate the "Sutra of Good Cultivation" to the realm of great success, it is better to take the exam obediently.
"What's wrong with you, Brother Bujin? ”
Su Ling, who came in with food, shouted with concern.
Chen Tang smiled slightly: "Yes, you read it wrong." ”
As he spoke, his emotions quickly calmed down, and his face returned to normal.
Su Ling glanced at it again, stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and hurriedly went to bring the rest of the dishes to the table.
At this moment, it was raining heavily outside, and the two people in the house sat opposite each other and ate quietly, which had a special meaning.
......
Heavy rain enveloped the entire capital city of Panzhou, and this rain came quickly and heavily, and many of the poorly drained streets were already waterlogged and began to spread in all directions.
Zhao Mansion, in the hall, Zhao Sanye was chatting with Zhan Yangchun in tea.
Dengdenden!
A man in a pretended to come to the door soaking wet, it was Zhao Sanye's henchman Zhou Yang: "Third master, something happened again!"
Zhao Sanye Huo Ran stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Yang replied: "This time, at Panzhou College." ”
The news was immediately revealed, emphasizing the strange phenomenon of the lake dyed red, and the whereabouts of the body of the assassin who threw himself into the lake were unknown and had not been recovered.
Shunfu Dart Bureau went south and north, black and white, and secretly arranged a lot of manpower, especially what happened in Panzhou Mansion, which can always be passed on quickly.
Today's academy assassination incident is impossible to conceal by the many people present.
"Ding" sounds!
It turned out that the teacup in Zhan Yangchun's hand fell to the ground.
Zhao Sanye looked over and was taken aback, he had known Zhan Yangchun for many years, and he had never seen this Taoist chief with a panicked look on his face, and now, it was the first time.
He immediately asked, "Dao Chief, is there anything wrong?"
Zhan Yangchun shouted: "I see, I see, the place where the evil hides is in the lake of fame, there is a lake to cover it, and there is no breath leaking. ”
When Zhao Sanye heard this, he immediately understood: "In this case, when is the Taoist chief going to go out and accept this bureaucracy?"
Since the Mountain Temple incident, Zhang Hong, who was a henchman, was killed, and he hated these evils, so he was concerned about the death of Wu Han and Zhu Xiucai, and sent people to investigate in many ways.
But seeing Zhan Yangchun's face with a wry smile: "Today's pattern is a resentment meeting, a fierce momentum, and this way ...... I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about it!"
