Chapter 689: Never Famous
Li Kaishi slowly walked forward in the crowded flow of people on the streets of Shangjing.
Everyone who saw him frowned and turned sideways, as if there was something dirty on him.
Several times, Li Kaishi frowned, but he still sighed and stretched his brows.
In fact, I don't blame the people in Beijing, because compared with these people in Beijing, Li Kaishi is really shabby.
He was carrying a burden on his back, which he had brought with him from Zaitianfu, and had experienced a lot of hardships with him, and it had long been dilapidated. The clothes on his body are also very old, and there are even patches in some places.
Zaitianzhou is the place that has been most severely attacked by evil demons, and Li Kaishi and others, who survived the catastrophe of Zaitianfu, finally came to the bitterness and were brought to the country of demons and immortals.
These days, they have been working hard to build their new home, and even Li Kaishi has put down the scriptures he recites every day and devoted himself to hard work.
He took off his green jacket, changed into short clothes, and carried stones, built houses, and cultivated farmland with others, almost forgetting that he was still a scholar.
At that time, Li Kaishi had an idea in his heart, what is the use of studying? He could not stop the invasion of evil demons, could not save the common people, and did not even have the strength of those peasants and craftsmen to work.
But just after the initial hardship passed, in Li Kaishi's heart, there was a string that always sounded inadvertently, reminding him that he was a scholar, and he also had great ambitions, and he also wanted to serve as an official and benefit one party.
It's like...... Just like the sub-adults.
In the Tianfu Township Examination, Li Kaishi was on the list, although he never got any official position, and his results were not outstanding, but he also had ideals and ambitions.
But he is not the kind of person who is extremely talented, his knowledge comes from hard study, and every bit of knowledge is soaked in sweat and hard work.
And this hope, which had been extinguished, suddenly rekindled one day.
Seven days ago, the country of demons and immortals issued an announcement that all students who have passed the Dashangke Township Examination, if they are willing to go to Beijing, they can find Yan Xiaolei to report, and the country of demons and fairies will arrange for them to go to Beijing to participate in the exam!
As soon as the news came out, it immediately detonated the entire country of demon immortals, and I don't know how many people were so excited that they burst into tears, kneeling on the ground and crying.
The hope that I thought had left me a long time ago reappeared.
Who wants to give up?
So, Li Kaishi stood on the streets of Shangjing.
Although it is in a place like Shangjing, where every inch of land is valuable, Zi Baifeng still provides a mansion for them to live in, provides them with the best environment, and even provides them with silver taels as a subsidy, although it is not much, but the savings can fully support them to eat, wear and spend and even participate in some poetry and literary meetings.
But Li Kaishi and many other people were unwilling to continue to drag Zi Baifeng down when they arrived in Beijing.
He felt that you can't always be troublesome, others can be generous, but you can't always take it for granted, or even ask for more.
So Li Kaishi planned to find a place to settle down temporarily, and then study hard and review, and do all the homework that was delayed, as for the poetry club, it didn't really mean much to him.
He doesn't have much ambition, the title of the gold list is not the only purpose, even if there is no title of the gold list, others have the opportunity to get a chance, this is the great department, that is, the charm of the largest talent selection form in the Celestial Empire, as long as you participate and get good results, you can get an official and a half position, and there is the possibility of follow-up development.
But Li Kaishi went around and found that Shangjing was more unfriendly than he imagined, and he couldn't find a place to live, so he could only knock on the door of the house one by one, hoping to rent an extra room. Even many people are reluctant to listen to him, as long as they see what he is wearing, they let him eat behind closed doors.
The process is hard, and Li Kaishi seems to have never done such a thing in his life.
But the results were even harder.
Li Kaishi turned around, and finally came to the place where he left, near Gui Moxuan, he hesitated in his heart, entangled in his heart, whether to go back to Zijia's courtyard.
There seems to be such a subtle conflict between integrity and reality, which is always so difficult to choose.
It seems that God doesn't want Li Kaishi to suffer too much, but fortunately, luck finally came, when he knocked on the door of a big family, the housekeeper-like person glanced at him and said, "This scholar, are you here to take the exam?"
"Yes, this is my paperwork, and I am taking the township test in Zaitianzhou. ”
"I don't understand...... In this way, I went to ask my master, I can't hide it, my young master is also going to participate in the big school, but he still travels around all day, refuses to work hard, my master has always wanted to find a companion to read, we do have a free house, but our Song family can't rent out the house at home, what kind of system is that, it will definitely be laughed at by the neighbors, if you are willing to be a companion, we can be accommodating. ”
The old butler's mention made Li Kaishi struggle for a while.
What kind of companion reading, Li Kaishi has also seen it, saying that if it sounds good, it is companion reading, and if it is ugly, it is a scholar, and it is just a subordinate.
But if there is anything he has learned in the country of demons and immortals during this time, it is that as long as he eats with his own hands and does the right thing, then there is nothing inferior. Whether you are a companion or a scholar, as long as you can maintain your next food, clothing and flowers, and let yourself go to the township test, why bother with anything else?
Eat your own bread, and do so much?
So Li Kaishi agreed.
Hearing Li Kaishi's promise, the old housekeeper nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you wait here, I'll go and ask the master." "Turned around and went. Li Kaishi was actually hungry, so he squatted down, leaned against the corner, and looked up at Zi Baifeng on the high platform in the distance.
This place is two blocks away from where the high platform is, and he is not a monk, so he can't see or hear what Zi Baifeng is saying, and he doesn't know what the situation is over there, he only hears someone making noise and shouting.
Li Kaishi narrowed his eyes, looked at Zi Baifeng at the highest place, and had a thought in his heart: "If you stand on such a high place, you will definitely be very happy." ”
But he thought to himself, "Except for a great talent like Lord Zi, who is qualified to stand in that highest place?"
Despite this, he still couldn't help but fantasize that he would stand there, accept the attention of thousands of people, and wait to soar into the sky.
But the sound of his stomach rumbling quickly pulled him back to reality, and there were only a few people discussing it in his ears.
"What's that person's name?
"The top one, it seems to be called something, silent. ”
Li Kaishi turned his face and glanced at it, discussing two young people who seemed to be scholars, who were also scholars, and they were walking out of the side door and stopping here.
"Brother Zhang, didn't you go to this poetry meeting? ”
"With my little talent, it's a shame to go up, why bother showing up, but Brother Song, you didn't go?"
"I did take a look, but it came down quickly. Brother Song smiled and said, "But I saw that Zhu Gongzi was competing with others. ”
"Who is so self-conscious, competing with Zhu Caizi for poetry? Is this tired and crooked? Ah, is it that Wen Gongzi is back? If Wen Gongzi is back and competing with Zhu Caizi, then I want to go and see ......"
"Whether Gongzi Wen is back or not, I don't know, I heard that he came from a place in the west called Hetian, what is the name of the ......?"
"Then don't look forward to it, outside of Beijing, how can there be any talented people!"
Li Kaishi frowned, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.
This is Shangjing, not Zaitenfu, so it's better not to cause trouble.
Li Kaishi has never been an impulsive person, on the contrary, he is calm and decisive, if it weren't for this, he would not have survived in Zaitianfu in the first place.
He didn't want to listen to the words that made him unhappy, but the voices of the two kept drilling into his head.
"That sub...... By the way, Zi is silent, it is estimated that he is also a shallow learner, in his own one-acre and three-point land, he can be the king and hegemon, and when he arrives in Beijing, he can't be considered a fart......"
Hearing this, Li Kaishi finally couldn't help it.
He can tolerate others looking down on him, but he absolutely, he can't stand others insulting Zi Baifeng!
That's not just his benefactor, Li Kaishi doesn't know what kind of mood he feels towards Zi Baifeng, maybe he has a little bit of the psychology of chasing stars now.
"You guys aren't even fart! No son, you're nothing!" Li Kaishi was furious, threw the luggage in his hand to the ground, and Huo Ran stood up.
When he heard them say that there were no talented people outside of Beijing, Li Kaishi was only slightly angry in his heart, these shallow people, how can they say anything?
But when he heard these two people say by name that Zi Baifeng was just a person who was selling his reputation and reputation, he couldn't help it at all and broke out directly.
You idiots, what do you know? Without the bloody struggle of the sons, where would you still be in the mood to stand here and judge others? You just cry and wait for the world to be destroyed, and wait for death with peace of mind!
If you don't have a child, you just wait to be parasitized by demons, devoured by monsters, and used as puppets by immortals as batteries!
You are nothing without your son!
Li Kaishi yelled angrily, but changed the disdainful eyes of Song and Zhang, "Where did you come from, beggar, what does the uncle's conversation have to do with you, go, go, don't dirty the gate of my house!"
Li Kaishi hesitated, and the feeling of emptiness in his stomach and the weakness in his limbs made him ...... Endure it.
Although he really wanted to stand up for the sake of the son-sama's honor, he was really hungry and had no strength now, and he heard the other party's words.
"Don't dirty the door of my house!"
This is the young master of this family?
No wonder, surnamed Song, is not the Song house behind him?
He still has to rely on the Song Mansion behind him to eat, endure it, endure it.
At this time, Li Kaishi was a little disdainful of himself.
What about the righteous indignation just now? What about the earliest integrity?
Sure enough, reality is the easiest thing to change a person.
Fortunately, the two of them changed the topic and no longer discussed the poetry club.
He squatted in the corner, listening to the Song and Zhang chatting non-stop, from heaven to earth, from south to north.
But before I knew it, we talked about topics that shouldn't be talked about again.
"I heard that the demons in other places are making a lot of trouble now, if you want me to say that the government is too weak, no, with the current emperor His Majesty, it's not just a matter of catching it, what demons, what monsters, what fallen immortals, it's not all easy to do. ”
"Yes, my emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he can catch it, this is the emperor's style, the emperor loves you...... I heard that the Holy Lord personally struck, holding a golden spear, and stabbed the fallen immortal ...... with one shot."
"That's right, what kind of monster did he want to hold the saint hostage with a little favor and a little favor, and he was also cut off by the saint's sword......"
This is a great deal, Li Kai who listened to it frowned over there, and he also picked off the golden immortal with one shot, and this is still fighting on horseback? That's a golden immortal battle, what should you do? A sword cut off the tail? It was the golden immortal who cut off the tail of the candle dragon, not the emperor!
If nothing else, let's just say that the battle between the demon general and the true immortal has already reached the level of destroying the world.
You fools, how can you imagine the battle of the Golden Immortals?
It was a great battle that could destroy heaven and earth!
Although Li Kaishi also heard it from others, it was heard from the storyteller of the Liyuan Sect.
The people of the Liyuan Sect have a very peculiar way of cultivating, they are like bards, processing all kinds of deeds a little, compiling them into stories, and spreading them around, taking this as a practice, and they are also one of the eighteen sects of the nine sects in Mengcheng.
However, he could not blame these people for being ignorant, the monks were a very small minority everywhere, and before he really saw the powerful means, could he have imagined the ability of these great powers to turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain? But after listening to them for a long time, he gradually felt that something was wrong, and raised his head and asked, "Who do you listen to these things?"
"Who did you listen to? The streets and alleys are spreading, our saint is a rare Zhongxing Mingjun in ten thousand years. ”
"What about the demon fairy? Why don't you mention the demon fairy?
These people don't know Zi Bu Si, that's excusable, Zi Bu Yu these three words, the reputation has never been known to the world.
But Zi Bai Feng ...... Don't they know?
"Who is Zi Baifeng?" the man surnamed Zhang wondered.
"Zi Baifeng, I know. That's a silly fork. The man surnamed Song laughed, "The saint has already arranged a qiē and asked him to carry it out, but something went wrong, so that the demons and monsters have a chance to take advantage of it, and a few small demons have made him scramble, and he still needs the saint to take action himself, this person ......"
"Shut up for me!" Li Kaishi couldn't hold back any longer.
Stupidity is not scary, but stupidity must have a limit!
These Shangjing people have such a glamorous appearance, but why are they so stupid?
Obviously, the world has fallen into crisis, but he still paralyzes himself, pretending to live in a peaceful and prosperous world.
He mustered up the strength to eat milk, punched it, and hit the eye socket of the man surnamed Song, and the man surnamed Song immediately howled like a pig.
"Why are you beating people!" The man surnamed Zhang took a step forward and wanted to hit Li Kaishi, but was shocked by Li Kaishi's angry eyes, just supported the man surnamed Song, and bluffed a few words.
"It's you who beat you, you bullshit bastards!" Li Kaishi scolded angrily: "There is no son, you don't know how long you have been dead, there is no son, let alone participating in the imperial examination, you can't even eat, there is no son, you ...... You're not!"
At this moment, the door of the Song family slammed open, and the old housekeeper said: "This scholar, my master said, I can ask you to be a companion......, what are you doing? You're an adult! Oh no, the young master is injured, come on!"
With the shout of the old housekeeper, seven or eight people ran out of Hulala, surrounding Li Kaishi three layers inside and three layers outside.
"You're just talking nonsense, Zi Baifeng is a fart, this kind of waste material, it's just that the saint is kind-hearted, so he will ......"
"You ...... If you don't have a son, your emperor is not a fart!" Li Kaishi was mad, rushing up like a mad tiger, kicking and hitting the young master Song, and several family members hurriedly rushed up, suppressed him, and pulled him away.
"Come on, this person actually slandered the saint, hurry up and invite Liu Xunzheng to come!" Young Master Song had a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and he was beaten to slurred his speech, but he still struggled and screamed, and gave Li Kaishi a hat.
......
When Li Kaishi was beaten, Zi Baifeng was opening the ink one by one and presenting it in front of everyone.
Gui Qing ink, Gui evil ink, Gui Shen ink, Gui demon ink, all four kinds of ink are presented in front of everyone.
Zhu Youcai's eyes changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "You...... What are you...... cheat!"
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the "Gui Evil Ink" condensed by the dead air, the dead air that wafts out of it, as long as it is contaminated a little, it can abolish his penance for several years, this kind of ink, let alone used for painting, even if it is close, he doesn't dare to get close.
"This son, please don't be impatient, our Gui Moxuan's ink is not what you imagined, although it contains dead air, it is all sealed in the ink, and there will definitely not be a trace of dead air dissipating outward, please rest assured of this. As he spoke, the Zi clan reached out and took out the Gui evil ink from the brocade box and held it in his hand.
Zhu Youcai waited for his hands, and after a long time, he was stunned to find that it was really as he said, this Gui Evil Mo actually just felt eerie and evil, but there was really no trace of lifelessness escaping.
"The same is true of several other types of ink. "The sub-clan is humane.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The boss of Bao Mo Zhai jumped to his feet in anger below: "Gimmicks, all gimmicks, useless gimmicks!"
Offstage, Zi Wu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
Gimmick, why didn't she know it was a gimmick?
Among these four types of ink, only one of Gui Qingmo has actual effects, and the other three are just three kinds of spiritual energy sealed into the ink, what is the use of this practice? At first, Zi Wu didn't quite understand.
However, Zi Baifeng told her: "This is called showmanship, it doesn't need to be practical, it just tells others, we Gui Moxuan can do this kind of thing, all over the world, except for our Gui Moxuan, no one can do it!"
"Can this work?" Zi Wu was still a little puzzled.
"Do you think, in this whole world, apart from your son, who else can turn all things into demons? In this whole world, apart from your husband, who can turn ordinary things into treasures and rotten wood into living beings? In this whole world, besides you, who else has such a good son and such a good husband? Thinking of this, are you proud? When others see you, will they be envious?"
Zi Wu nodded ignorantly, although she was quite business-minded, but Zi Baifeng came from another world with more developed business after all.
"That's right, things that make others envious, jealous and hateful, and can only say bad things behind their backs are called showing off skills. ”
Zibai wind duct.
At this time, the expression on her face quickly retracted and quickly changed to worry.
Because her son is the best in the world, and there is a fire in his heart. !”
