In March, the triennial imperial examination was in full swing, and the scholars who had studied hard in the cold window for decades were originally unknown, but their reputation spread all over the world after the township examination and the meeting examination, and today, the candidates have ushered in the last difficulty, the Beijing Palace Examination.

Countless young talents came to Kyoto from the 36 states of the Zhou Kingdom, and the heroes of the green forest who were rampant and domineering on weekdays also disappeared during this time. The imperial examination is the imperial court selection of talents, anyone who dares to provoke trouble during this period of time, will be severely hit by the imperial court, the imperial court worship pavilion in the immortal master all dispatched, cruising in all directions, to protect the safety of the scholars who entered the city to catch the examination, so from time to time I heard rumors, a certain scholar encountered a bandit, when he saw that his life was dying, a sword light flashed, and all the thieves were killed, this person must be the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and there are rumors such as immortal guards around him.

Zhang Zhiping was wearing a Taoist robe, in the private room of the Tongfu Inn, lying on a Taishi chair, listening to the storyteller below with great interest telling the story of "Wenqu goes down to the immortals to protect the immortals, and the flying sword outside the sky cuts off the head", a story is vivid, as if he saw it with his own eyes, even Zhang Zhiping felt that the scholar must be the Wenqu star descended to earth, and this time he will definitely be able to be the top student in high school. The people listening to the lecture below were even more applauding, and the rewards continued, only a few eavesdropping scholars disdained this, how could it be?

The throne of the Zhou State is passed only three generations, when the emperor ascended the throne for fifteen years, since he ascended the throne, the selection of meritocracy, diligence and thrift, for many years can be called a political and harmonious people, aside from the world of martial arts and immortal cultivators, ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing everywhere, a prosperous scene.

Zhang Zhiping closed his eyes and enjoyed this ancient way of entertainment, and at this moment, a small guy ran up, bent down and said to Zhang Zhiping: "Dao Chief, the two people you ordered to watch have entered Beijing." ”

The little guy is very strange to this Taoist priest, the other party came here ten days ago to set a small courtyard, three bedrooms and two living rooms, has been sitting in this private room during the day, does not drink tea, does not eat pastries, has been lying on a Taishi chair closed eyes to recuperate, at night is nowhere to be found, very strange. It's just that he is bold and generous, and the reward is also extremely generous, and the store will naturally not say anything, and he still needs a small guy to stare at the city gate every day, to see if the two people on the painting are coming, it is one or two silver a day. The little two fought over this, if it weren't for the fact that they were the boss's distant cousins, they wouldn't have been able to grab this beautiful errand!

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiping sat up, casually gave out a ingot, three heavy silver, and said, "Where are those two now?" The immortal cultivator didn't care about the gold and silver in the world, he directly took a few thousand taels of silver tickets in the Qingsong Temple, and the silver was very sufficient.

The little guy hurriedly took the silver, the smile on his face couldn't stop, and after hearing Zhang Zhiping's question, he hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare to make a claim, let others stare at it temporarily, I'll come back and report first." However, looking at its direction, it should also be towards the Tongfu Inn. ”

Zhang Zhiping nodded, and said casually: "You did a good job, go down and watch, and come and inform me when the two of you are about to arrive at the door of the inn." ”

Half an hour later, the little guy came up to inform him that it had arrived, and Zhang Zhiping came to the door of the inn unhurriedly. From a distance, two people who were five or six points similar to their father walked slowly, followed by two scholars on both sides, and the one leading the way was not Shi Li of his own home?

Shi Li soon saw Zhang Zhiping as well, and said happily: "The eldest young master, the second young master, look, the third young master is waiting for us there!"

A few people walked a few steps quickly, and soon arrived in front of Zhang Zhiping. The two sides looked at each other, Zhang Zhiping took the lead in taking a step forward, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother and the second brother are fortunate on the road, I have rented a small courtyard, let's come and wash up first." ”

The eldest Zhang Zhidong and the second Zhang Renjing looked at Zhang Zhiping, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, the two of them studied together all the year round, and their relationship with each other was closer than that of the third brother. Their first impression when they saw Zhang Zhiping was clean, as clean as a lotus flower out of the mud, they were in the turbid world, but Zhang Zhiping was proudly independent of the turbid world, it was really clean!

The two heard from their father that the third brother went to cultivate, and they didn't know when they would return in the future, and now it seems that their third brother is indeed a man who has come out of the dust.

After hearing Zhang Zhiping's words, the eldest Zhang Zhidong spoke: "There is a third brother Lao, my father has already told us about you, take us to wash up first, and then come to talk to you in detail." Zhang Renjing also nodded on the side: "It's tiring to travel, it's not appropriate to talk at this time." ”

Zhang Zhiping instructed Xiao Er to lead everyone to the small courtyard that was booked, and he returned to the private room, an hour later, the two people who had finished washing put on a Confucian robe and entered the private room, the eldest brother Zhang Zhidong was more like his father, and the second brother Zhang Renjing's expression was softer, a bit like his mother. The three of them sat down, and Zhang Zhiping asked a little uncontrollably: "Big brother, second brother, I don't know if my father and mother are okay?"

Zhang Zhidong's expression was solemn, not smiling, Zhang Renjing on the side smiled softly and said: "My parents are in good health, but my mother often misses you, and now that you are safe, I will have an explanation for the second elder when I go home." ”

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing didn't know how to face this third brother, they only learned about the existence of immortal cultivators from their father for the first time after they went home this time. If it weren't for their father's sworn assurance, they would all suspect that their father had been deceived, and the third brother had also been abducted. Now seeing Zhang Zhiping, Zhang Zhidong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Third brother, my father said that you went to cultivate immortals, is this true?" Zhang Renjing on the side also stared at Zhang Zhiping when he heard this, he was also very skeptical of this theory of cultivating immortals, worried that it was not a charlatan.

Zhang Zhiping suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart, the dragon does not live with the snake, and his current strength is not afraid even if he faces an army of 10,000 people head-on, but in the eyes of many mortals, he is a charlatan. What's more, for immortal cultivators, they probably don't care about mortals, they only mock each other like frogs at the bottom of the well, and the vision of the two is not at the same level at all. However, these two people are his relatives, Zhang Zhiping didn't say anything, pinched the trick and recited the spell, and a fireball appeared in front of everyone.

The astonishing heat rushed to his face, and Zhang Zhiping casually took a picture of the sword decorated in the private room, threw it on the fireball, and instantly turned into a pile of molten iron. There is nothing more shocking than a naked display of strength, looking at this amazing scene, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing trembled, and muttered: "This, this is impossible!"

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiping also revoked the spell, leaving only a puddle of molten iron to prove that what he had just seen was true. Seeing this, Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Renjing said to Zhang Zhiping with some excitement: "Third brother, third brother. Do you think we can also cultivate immortals?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiping held the hands of the two of them, and used a trace of mana to check the bodies of the two, and after a while, looking at the two people who looked nervous, he shook his head, and the eyes of the two instantly dimmed, and they collapsed on the seat as if they had no strength.

There is no way, the probability of a spiritual root appearing among mortals is too low, often a huge family, tens of thousands of people, there may be only one or even no one who has a spiritual root, Zhang Zhizhong's family can have Zhang Zhiping, who has a spiritual root, it is also very good, it is already a blessing to invite the sky, and it should not be forced too much.
