Chapter 154 The storm is rising

"Guan Gong Temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

A shout sounded, and the gate of the tribute courtyard slammed shut.

The hospital examination began.

Until the end, all the children will not step out of the Gongyuan for half a step.

On the first day, the test was to post scriptures.

It sounds a little complicated, but it's actually very simple, that is, on top of the Four Books and Five Classics, choose a sentence to write down, and then leave a blank space for the candidate to continue writing.

To put it bluntly, it's a fill-in-the-blank question.

The test is the candidates' memory of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

In addition, there is also the requirement for candidates to write a passage from the Four Books and Five Classics, starting from where and ending there.

This level is very important, and if you make a mistake, you may miss out on Xiucai.

After all, there are so many candidates, and each admission is limited, and you are not even familiar with the four books and the five classics, how can you pass the college examination smoothly and be hired as a talent? As for the articles and politicians who will be examined later, it all depends on the mood and preferences of the examiner, and there are certain loopholes that can be drilled.

Li Xiuyuan has a very good memory, and the previous exams naturally can't be difficult for him, although he has spent a lot of time practicing martial arts over the years, he is still familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.

It can't be regarded as a backward recitation, but it can still be done after reciting it normally.

Immediately, he twisted the pen and dyed the ink, and now wrote it on the draft next to it, and only after making sure that it was correct did he copy it to the examination paper.

However, at this moment, various situations are happening in the Gongyuan.

A candidate with gray temples, squatting in his examination room at this time looking at the rotten stool, frowning, sighing, did not go to get the pen to take the exam first, but repaired the chair first, after all, how to answer the exam without a seat?

Some candidates did not dare to enter the examination room for a long time, and called the errand officer, saying that there were poisonous snakes there, and begged the errand to get rid of the snake.

The errand officer is also timid and afraid, but he is perfunctory and then no longer cares.

In the end, this candidate did not dare to enter the examination room because he was afraid of snakes, so he had to hurriedly go around outside the examination room.

The duration of the exam is long and long-lasting.

The other candidates stopped writing, then closed their eyes and thought about it, and finally typed the draft, answered the paper, and transcribed, and the speed was not fast at all, and when they answered less than half of the exam paper, they were already physically and mentally exhausted and had to rest.

Li Xiuyuan's foundation in martial arts at this time was evident.

He was full of energy, different from ordinary people, and he wrote hard, and he didn't stop for a moment, and only at dusk did this first answer sheet have been written.

Then, when he saw that it was getting dark, he took out the candles and lit them one by one.

Counting carefully, there were nine candles lit in the small examination room, and the lights shining inside were bright.

"Damn rich man. ”

Some scholars saw the candlelight in Li Xiuyuan's examination room, and then looked at the small candlelight on a thin candle next to his desk, and couldn't help but feel depressed.

Although the candidates have prepared candles, this is after all money to buy, especially during the examination period, the price of candles has soared, it is not cheap, and the average scholar is reluctant to buy candles like this, after all, there are not a few candles to be burned overnight, and they need to save some money.

Inside the City God Temple at this moment.

Guo Beicheng's Chenghuang stood in front of the main hall, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the direction of the Gongyuan, and frowning slightly.

"Why are you so worried these days, isn't there something difficult?" asked a cronie Yin soldier.

Chenghuang said, "I'm worried about this Li Xiuyuan. ”

"Isn't he taking the Xiucai exam? What are the adults worried about him doing? Could it be that Li Xiuyuan can't pass the exam?" asked Yin Bing.

"Li Xiuyuan doesn't know if he is in the city god or not, but with his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to show off a talent, what this city god is worried about is whether the matter of Chu Shilang will be implicated in Li Xiuyuan's body, if it is, don't pull this city god into the water. Chenghuang sighed.

After speaking, he asked again, "Is it still raining in the fishing town on the other side of the Wujiang River?"

"The Lord is down, and it's getting bigger and bigger, and it's not stopping, and the place that has affected is getting bigger and bigger. Yin Bing said.

Chenghuang frowned and said, "This is the Wujiang Dragon King who is angry, he wants to travel through the clouds and rain, looking for his descendants who should be robbed, looking at the trend, I am afraid that if he doesn't find the little black Jiao, this Wujiang Dragon King will not give up." ”

"That place is the territory of the Dragon King of Wujiang, and it is not under the control of adults, so why should adults worry. The Yin Soldier sneered.

"That's right. ”

Chenghuang nodded, and immediately remembered something, suddenly took out the life and death book in his sleeve, and looked through it.

He found that the fate of Chu Tian, the second son of the Chu family, had changed, he was originally pierced by sharp arrows and poisoned by snakes and died, but now he successfully survived this hurdle.

"Well, yes, it seems that Chu Shilang's calculation has succeeded, huh...... Why is Chutian still dead. Cheng Huang suddenly became suspicious.

Then he looked through the book of life and death a few times, and suddenly exclaimed, the book of life and death in his hand, which was like a treasure, couldn't hold it for a while, and fell to the ground with a snap.

The surrounding lights shone brightly, but I saw that Chenghuang's face was pale and cold sweat broke out.

"Ah, Chu Shilang, you hurt me, I'm so miserable. Chenghuang couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, not knowing whether he was angry or afraid.

"Boom~!"

Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, and it struck the book of life and death on the ground with unmistakable accuracy.

The open book of life and death closed in an instant, and the thunder flashed on it, and the ghosts and gods could no longer get close.

The city god was also injured by the thunder and lightning, and with a scream, he fell out directly, turning into a piece of incense and hitting the idol of the god.

Only a few clicks were heard, and cracks appeared on the statue of the god of incense, and this crack formed a trace, which cut through the neck of the statue of the god of the city, as if to cut off his head.

This scene happened very quickly, and the Yin soldiers next to him looked at each other, not understanding why such a scene appeared in a good place.

How did his own city god be struck by lightning?

You must know that Chenghuang is a righteous god who has been enshrined, although he does not know the thunder lord in the sky, but it is absolutely impossible to be struck by thunder.

"Your Excellency. My lord. The Yin soldier called a few times to the statue of the city god.

However, the strange thing is that the eyes of the god god of the city god are closed, as if it has fallen into a deep sleep, and no matter how much it shouts, it does not respond.

Yin Bingmen also panicked when they saw this situation, although they didn't know what was going on, but this scene appeared in a good way, even fools knew that this was a bad thing.

But now that the city god is asleep, even if the Yin soldiers are panicked, they don't know the reason.

However, in another part of Guo Beicheng.

Within the Chu Mansion.

"Master, the second young master is awake. A servant hurriedly reported.

Master Chu, who was kneeling down in the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, suddenly stood up in surprise: "Is my son awake?"

"Yes, master, the second young master has woken up, the doctor has also investigated, the second young master has recovered, and his body is worry-free. The servant said.

"Good, good. Master Chu was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed out of the ancestral hall.

When he came to the ward, he first saw a black fish that had been disemboweled, and the blood had been taken out by the subordinates.

Although the black fish had a miserable end, it was not dead, at this moment its eyes blinked, a few tears flowed out, the fish's mouth opened, as if it wanted to say something, but after all, it didn't say anything, its eyes closed, and it swallowed its last breath.

Just after it breathed, a fishy smell suddenly emanated from it.

At the same time, there was an invisible black gas coming out between the black fish scales, and after this black gas was emitted, it condensed and rushed into the sky, and suddenly, there was a thick black cloud brewing in the sky above Guo Beicheng, and as time passed, this black cloud also came bigger and bigger, and there was a tendency to spread.

But all these things have nothing to do with the current Li Xiuyuan.

Now Li Xiuyuan is lighting candles in the examination room for the night test.

"Well, it's time to take a break after writing this. When he saw that the second exam paper was almost finished, he decided to take a break.

Other candidates didn't finish the first exam paper at this time, but he had already finished the second one, which is estimated to be the fastest among the same batch of candidates.

"Huhu~!"

However, at this time, the candlelight in the examination room was suddenly blown by a gust of wind, and the candle flame swayed.

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned and asked, there was a special smell in the wind just now.

It smells like fishy, but it's not like it.

"Is it going to rain?" Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky.

I saw that the sky where the moon was originally high was shrouded in a dark cloud.
