A month later, Linjiang County, Jiangzhou, on the banks of the Bailong River outside Linjiang City.

At dawn, the sky was still gray, and a thin white mist rose all around, and several men stood at the mouth of the river, waiting for the arrival of the boat.

The men all looked younger, four of them were full of books, and a tall man in blue held a folding fan with a landscape painting painted on it.

The four men were all carrying bags, and it seemed that they were going out, and a young man in white with ordinary facial features stood in front of the four of them.

The young man in white stood empty-handed, looking at the river shrouded in a large fog with a calm face, as if waiting for something.

"Brother Changsheng, don't look any further, I've inquired with someone, the boat family will only appear when the hour is shi, and now there is still half an hour before the time of the day, and you won't appear if you look at the boat family again," the tall man in blue said with a smile.

When the young man in white heard this, he turned around and smiled at the young man in blue, and said: "It's not like the four Wencai brothers, who are full of poetry and books, and they don't know anything about poetry and literature in Xia, or the scenery of this river is more attractive to me, you talk about yours, don't worry about me," After speaking, he turned his head and stared at the white mist on the river.

Hearing this, the young man in blue smiled bitterly, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, Brother Wencai, you can spare Brother Changsheng! Brother Changsheng loves to practice martial arts, and is not interested in the poetry and songs of our literati, so how about the four of you and I write a poem together on this scene," a short and fat man in Tsing Yi proposed.

"Forget it! I only fell asleep yesterday when I was studying my homework, and I was woken up by Brother Han Ming at the moment, and I was very sleepy, and I really didn't have the mood to chant poetry against me," a young man in a yellow shirt with good facial features yawned and shook his head to reject the proposal of the man in Tsing Yi.

"Ahem, don't blame Qiusheng Xian, aren't you worried about missing the triennial imperial examination?" You and I have finally obtained the qualification to participate in the capital examination, and we should have arrived in the capital as soon as possible, after all, we have been imprisoned by the bandits for a while, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will miss the examination, and when the time comes, the four of you and I will probably become a joke for everyone in Yanzhou," a young man in a Confucian shirt with a white face smiled and explained.

"Hmph, speaking of which, it's all to blame on that gang of bandits, if it weren't for the elder brother, the four of you and I would still be trapped in the dungeon! Not to mention participating in the imperial examination, it would be difficult to see the light of day again," the man in blue snorted lightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"That is, if I come to Japan to be released as an official, I must arrest all the bandits in my jurisdiction and execute them all to set an example, I don't think anyone dares to be a bandit," the man in Tsing Yi nodded, and said murderously, his words were full of hatred for the bandits.

"Just grab it and beat the board! There's no need to kill them all, be careful that they turn into ghosts and ask for your life in the middle of the night," the yellow-shirted young man shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"Haha, Brother Qiusheng, you're here again, you want to talk about the female ghost you met when you were a child! The ghost and god are just those storytellers fooling people, and it shouldn't be true," the man in Tsing Yi laughed and said disapprovingly, a flash of contempt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Yes, Brother Qiusheng, what Wen Xuan said is right, the words of ghosts and gods should not be true, after all, you were young at that time, maybe it was just a nightmare after listening to the storyteller's fooling, there is no need to forget it, you also said before that Brother Changsheng was the immortal who killed female ghosts, but Brother Changsheng also said that he had never been to Chenjia Village, where you lived when you were a child," the young man in Confucian shirt nodded and said slowly.

Hearing this, the yellow-shirted young man smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more, but when his gaze moved to the white-clothed young man in front of him, there was still a look of doubt in his eyes.

The young man in white listened to the conversation between the four of them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The young man in white was none other than Wang Changsheng.

After leaving from the Guangyang Mountains, Wang Changsheng traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and ran slowly towards Jiangzhou, where he met four men in blue who were chased and killed by bandits.

The four men in blue were scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, but unfortunately met bandits, not only were their belongings looted, but they were also caught by the bandits in the stockade and locked in the dungeon, only to put back the servants of the four of them and ask for ransom.

While the guards were drunk, the four snatched the key from the guard, opened the prison door and ran away, only to be discovered by other thieves and sent people to hunt them down, and while fleeing, they met Wang Changsheng.

In normal times, Wang Changsheng was too lazy to care about the idle affairs of mortals, but he found an acquaintance among the four of them--- Chen Qiusheng, the child who served him chicken soup in Chenjia Village back then.

When leaving Chenjia Village, Wang Changsheng gave Chen Qiusheng the Guanyin jade pendant given by his father, and he didn't know how Chen Qiusheng hid it, the Guanyin jade pendant was not searched by the bandits, and when the four of them met Wang Changsheng, Wang Changsheng happened to see the Guanyin jade pendant hanging on Chen Qiusheng's chest.

If it weren't for getting their ancestral storage bag from Chen Qiusheng's grandfather back then, relying on the property inside, Wang Changsheng might not have been able to worship in the Taiqing Palace, so Wang Changsheng has always wanted to repay Chen Qiusheng's family.

After Wang Changsheng returned to Ningzhou, he went to Chenjia Village, but was told by the villagers that Chen Qiusheng's family had moved away, and no one knew where they had moved.

Wang Changsheng thought that he would not meet Chen Qiusheng again, but he didn't expect to meet Chen Qiusheng in Yanzhou.

Since Chen Qiusheng was kind to him, Wang Changsheng naturally would not stand idly by, but he didn't want to expose his identity as an immortal cultivator, so he used the Xuanjin Needle to kill those bandits, fortunately, the four of them studied poetry and books hard, although they were surprised by Wang Changsheng's strength to easily kill more than a dozen bandits, but Wang Changsheng made up a reason at will, and they didn't doubt it.

Afterwards, Wang Changsheng inquired about Chen Qiusheng's origin and found that Chen Qiusheng was indeed the little boy back then.

Knowing that Wang Changsheng was going to the capital, the four of them were overjoyed, and they all opened their mouths to invite Wang Changsheng to go together, obviously, they were afraid of encountering bandits again, after all, there was still a long way to go to the capital, if Wang Changsheng went on the road together, their safety would be more guaranteed.

In this regard, Wang Changsheng did not refuse, he originally planned to go to Jiangzhou to take a boat to the capital, and it would be okay to go on the road with Chen Qiusheng and the four of them, so he should repay the kindness of the year.

Although more than ten years had passed, Wang Changsheng was an immortal cultivator, and his aging rate was slow, which caused Chen Qiusheng to recognize Wang Changsheng as the immortal who killed ghosts as soon as he saw him.

Although Wang Changsheng tried his best to do otherwise, Chen Qiusheng still didn't believe it, and would open his mouth to test Wang Changsheng from time to time, and after trying several times and not getting a satisfactory answer, Chen Qiusheng gave up.

Because of this, Chen Qiusheng was also ridiculed by his three companions.
