Chapter 144: Overcome the test and enter the door with a sword
(Thanks to the generous tips of book friends "S Fan 1EV Fox", "A1VN4933", and "Zhuhai Aaron"!)
On this day, it is the day when the children of the reference examination move into the inner city and stay in the inns around the Gongyuan. Early in the morning, at the entrance to the inner city, there were a number of scholars, their expressions exuding excitement.
As the saying goes: Chang'an is easy to live in, but the inner city is difficult to enter.
It is said that the capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so the inner city can be said to be directly at the feet of the Son of Heaven. There are almost no ordinary people living in the residences, either rich or noble, and there are relatives of the king and the country, and they abound.
The inner city, the Forbidden City, the Jinluan Palace. The core of the power of the entire Xia Yu Dynasty is also a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world, a coveted place.
There is only one south gate in the inner city, and there is a small gate on each side of the gate. On weekdays, the gates are closed, and only small doors are opened to enter and exit.
Today, the main gate opened, and two teams of armor were arranged, fully armed, each holding a spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was cold. There is a wind blowing, sweeping up the red tassels, adding to the killing atmosphere.
Outside the door, there are more than a dozen special officials who are responsible for inspecting the road guidance documents of the lifter, and there is no room for error. As for the retinue of the lifter, they were all forbidden to enter, and could only stay in the outer city and wait.
These rules have long been posted in official documents and widely publicized.
Of course, if there is a child who does not want to live in the inn arranged by the tribute house, and stays in the outer city, it is also free. However, for the world's lifters, how rare is the opportunity to live in the inner city, how can you miss it?
Early in the morning, the lifters gathered outside the inner city gate to wait for inspection and enter the city.
The hour has passed. Chen Sanlang and Ye Rongtong also came to the door and saw a long queue. Not surprising.
Ye Rongtong was accompanied by Ah Feng and the scholar, but they came to see off their young master. Then you have to return to the Yunlai Inn.
"Daoyuan, since that night's literary meeting, your "Water Tune Song Head" has been sung all over the streets and alleys, I don't know how popular it is......"
Ye Rongtong said, unable to hide his envy.
For the desire for fame, readers are the most enthusiastic, and they all want their works to be well-known and widely recited. Many times, this desire even increases the pursuit of power.
The word Chen Saburo became famous. It is quite rare, and it is indispensable to the credit of the girls in the fish water garden. It is said that after reading the word, the Xiao makeup Oiran wanted to come to the Yunlai Inn to visit Chen Sanlang, which had the meaning of recommending a pillow. I don't know who persuaded me later, so I didn't make the trip.
This matter, a while ago, Ye Rongtong also mentioned it to Chen Sanlang with a fluttering eyebrow, and it was a pity that the other party did not come. Looking at its appearance, it means that you want a piece of the pie.
Chen Sanlang was dumbfounded, but he didn't come thanks to this oiran. If only it did. If you don't have a quiet effort, you have to move your address after you got the exam in Yangzhou last time.
The name is not without gain.
Chen Sanlang felt that the silk book in his mind was about to move. Breathing in all the time. It's just too subtle to tell the difference.
During this period of time, Ye Rongtong had a lot of entertainment. I have a wide range of contacts and know a lot of people. At the moment during the queue. Greet people from time to time. However, Chen Sanlang, who is famous, is rarely cared for, and he is happy not to greet him. It's too much to give up, and I'm tired.
This time I entered the inner city, and the inspection was so strict that it was almost comparable to the township test, and the whole body had to be touched. However, the township test is mainly to prevent cheating, and now it is not allowed to carry sharp weapons. The trail slips have to be checked repeatedly, and all of a sudden there are specific questions to check the identity.
Before coming, Chen Sanlang was prepared, vacated the sword box, and put a brush in it, as for the small sword, it was inserted in the bun, without any flaws, and no one could tell that it was actually a sword.
Since the Evil Sword has advanced, it has changed as expected, and there are many more ways to hide from the world.
After waiting for more than an hour, he and Ye Rongtong were checked, passed through the guò checkpoint, and entered the inner city.
Airplanes!
Chen Sanlang felt something, and couldn't help but be stunned and looked up.
On the original inner city gate, there is a huge statue of the door god depicted, the red pen splashes ink, the image is distinct, and tall and mighty, standing on the door, holding a pair of golden maces in his hand, wearing a crown of cupola, beard flaring, round eyes.
This pair of eyes is really bright and cleverly drawn. As long as you pass under the door, no matter which angle you walk, it seems that you are under the gaze of the door god.
It's not just watching, it's a kind of supervision.
At this glance, Chen Sanlang's heart was awe-inspiring, and he felt that the door god seemed to be coming to life, and it was about to walk down from the mountain and test it in person.
This feeling is mysterious and mysterious, but it is by no means ethereal, let alone an illusion.
Magic Weapon!
And it's not an ordinary light-opening magic weapon, it can be so vivid and vivid, and it also has spiritual power, it is likely to be a well-informed thing.
I really can't imagine that the inner city guards the door, and there is a psychic magic weapon. If it reveals the mystery of the evil sword, it will be out of control.
What to do?
Chen Sanlang almost broke out in a cold sweat, he felt that he was well prepared, but something went wrong. This important place in the capital must not be taken lightly.
Swish!
At the critical moment, the small sword pinned to his head suddenly flashed with a cold light, and if there was nothing, it was gone in an instant.
Strange to say, when the door god saw this cold glow, he trembled, as if he was shocked, and quickly put his body back on the door, not daring to move. Even a pair of eyes didn't dare to look at Chen Sanlang again.
The whole process is both bizarre and ridiculous.
Chen Sanlang's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but smile. In an instant just now, the relationship between the little sword and the door god statue was like a big official pressing a small official, bullying the other party without any temper.
Seeing that he suddenly stood still, Ye Rongtong smiled mysteriously, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Daoyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Sanlang shook his head and replied: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't help but look at this statue more when I look at it." ”
Ye Rongtong also noticed it and sighed: "The lines of this painting are vivid and very textured, and at a glance you can know that it is from everyone's handwriting, but I don't know who painted it on it." ”
After a pause, he said in a low voice: "It is not advisable to stay in the door for a long time, let's go in quickly, so as not to violate the taboo." ”
"Understood. ”
Chen Sanlang ignored it anymore, walked into the city with Ye Rongtong, and followed the people to the direction of the Gongyuan.
There are procedures for arranging accommodation, and it is not allowed to make your own decisions. However, in general, they are all based on the state and county, and the people from the same state and county live together and are close to each other.
When the room was divided, Ye Rongtong said happily: "Daoyuan, you and I live next to each other, closer than when we lived in Yunlai Inn, great." ”
Chen Sanlang was still thinking about what happened when he entered the door just now, and replied absent-mindedly, and after entering the room, he immediately closed the door, picked up the small sword, and looked quietly. (To be continued......)
