"Crash--"

"Crash--"

Lu Zheng was serving tea and water to a few women and delivering cakes. Xiao Cui wanted to move, but Lu Zheng was Zheng pressed it back and asked her to continue playing.

It was approaching noon, Xiaocui was going to prepare lunch, and then Lu Zheng served it.

Several people were playing and chatting.

"Both Amber and Qian are not here. It seems that the Peach Blossom Temple is quite busy?"

Shen Ying nodded, "Yesterday and today, there were a lot of people. , the people are pious and want to have a better life in the coming year."

"Congratulations, sister."

"I have to thank your Lu Lang for mentioning "Peach" to me. "Yao", by the way, my sister didn't ask Mr. Lu to compose a poem for you?" Shen Ying said with a smile and glanced at Lu Zheng.

Liu Qingquan’s face turned red, but she did not embarrass Lu Zheng. Instead, she shook her head and said, “Lu Lang has already made a painting for me.”

“Oh— —"

Shen Yingzuo suddenly understood, smiled and touched another card, "Yaoji."

　…

"I What a fool, give me money, give me money!”

Mahjong without money has no soul, so a few people can make money playing mahjong, but it’s just two pennies, which is better than nothing, just to have a feeling.

Liu Qingquan’s scheme was the worst, but she was really lucky. Both Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying only won a small amount, but it was Liu Qingquan who always played tricks and collected dozens of dollars.

Eh? Three of the four people won money?

Lu Zheng smacked his lips, took out another copper coin, and handed it to Liu Qingquan.

Liu Qingquan took it with a smile, and then happily put it in her small purse.

Lu Zheng could clearly see that his little wallet was already bulging, and it seemed that Liu Qingquan had won a lot on New Year's Eve.

It seems that if Liu Qingquan wants to buy any snacks in the future, she won’t have to ask Liu Qingyan for money.

But with Lu Zheng here, will Liu Qingquan still be short of snacks?

“It’s time to eat!”

Xiao Cui’s voice interrupted Liu Qingquan’s steps to win money.

After a few people finished the game, they ate in the front hall, and then went back to the private room to continue. It seemed that they were not satisfied yet.

One day passed, several people did not play chess, did not go out in the forest, and spent all their time being killed by mahjong.

It is indeed a big killer...

Shen Shizhong, Lu Zheng and Liu Qing have arrivedIt’s time for Yan to go back.

"It's quite fun. I'll ask Xiaocui to carve another one out of peach wood, so you don't have to bring it with you next time you come." Shen Ying said.

Xiaocui packed up the mahjong and gave it back to Liu Qingyan. Liu Qingyan was not polite. She played a round at her house yesterday afternoon. If she hadn’t been visiting Taohuaping today, There are not enough people in the family, so Mrs. Liu may not be willing to let her take mahjong out.

Shen Ying sent a few people to the door, watched them get into the car and leave, then waved from a distance and turned back to the courtyard.

After getting into the car, a few people staggered back, resting and eating snacks, which was so comfortable.

"Lu Lang."

"Huh?"

Liu Qingyan said hesitantly, "I am also planning to go to Renxintang for a consultation tomorrow. ”

“Don’t you want to rest for two more days?”

“Go and see if there are any patients and see if dad is busy.”

Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay, I just want to go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow to see the master and see if I can come back with some magic."

"By the way, we can do it whenever you are free. Let’s go to Baiyun Temple together, Shaotong Mountain has a nice view.”

Liu Qingyan blinked, thought for a while and then said, “Okay.”

… …

Going to the peach grove in the middle of the night, Shen Ying was moved and let Lu Zheng enjoy the attentive service of the peach blossom fairy until dawn.

Early the next morning, an energetic Lu Zheng went up to Shaotong Mountain carrying stalactite springs and Ganoderma lucidum wine.

"Last time it was scorpion wine, this time it is Ganoderma lucidum wine, you are so interested."

Taoist Master Mingzhang took a sip and said, "The county god came to express his thanks and said Did you help destroy Nether Night Mountain?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "King Yelan trained the Nether Stone Ghost Corpse, and Mrs. Shen got the Nether Heart. The two parties have formed a deadly feud. It's just the right time. One of the souls of King Yelan was destroyed, so this disciple just wants to try his skills."

Taoist Master Mingzhang shook his head, "You are quite courageous. You have only practiced for less than a year. Just dare to follow the City God into the Netherworld.

It doesn’t matter if you go there to experience things, feel more about the spirit of the Netherworld, and you will be able to recognize ghosts at a glance when you encounter them in the human world.”

Lu Zheng and Taoist Master Ming Zhang were playing chess, drinking, and chatting casually.

Taoist Master Ming Zhang did not investigate Lu Zheng’s cultivation status. After all, Lu Zheng has now successfully refined his Qi. If he always used his true Qi to investigate, he would inevitably be suspected of spying.

　Lu Zheng didn't ask Taoist Master Mingzhang if he wanted to learn anything again. One was that what he had learned now was enough for the time being, and the other was that he couldn't ask for something every time he came, which seemed a bit utilitarian.

For those who are celebrating the New Year, it is good to come up the mountain to play chess, drink, chat with Taoist Master Mingzhang, and cultivate relationships.

Gu/span "I have read your song "Tao Yao", and it is indeed very well written. Are you really not going to take the exam to be a scholar this year?"

Da Jingchao The imperial examination system of China is roughly similar to that of ancient China, but it is simpler and more flexible.

The first step is the annual local examination. Each scholar takes the examination at the place of residence, which is divided into state examination and county examination. If you pass the examination, you will be given the title of scholar.

With the title of scholar, you can go to official schools such as county schools or state schools. Of course, you can also study at home or enter a private academy.

The second step is that in the autumn of every three years, the imperial court will hold the Qiu Wei Examination in each province. This exam is much more difficult than the local exam. If you pass the exam, you will be called a Juren, and you will be qualified to become a Low-level local officials, such as Chief Li of Tonglin County, were born in Lingbei Province.

By the way, the Dajing Dynasty area is divided into three levels. Daozhou County, for example, Tonglin County is affiliated with Yizhou, and Yizhou is affiliated with Lingbei Road.

Similar to modern provinces, cities and counties, it seems that political governance is indeed the same goal through different paths.

Eh? Thinking about it this way, haven't I left the Novice Village yet?

Others have traveled through time for a year, either to create nuclear fusion and sky fortresses, or to turn the world upside down with one person against the country. Isn’t it a bit of a drag on me, and is it a hindrance to the fools in the world?

Forget it, before we even leave Novice Village, there are bosses like Yelan Wang, and masters like Shen Ying, Taoist Master Mingzhang, and Xin Zhanting. What if we really get out?

Be careful, unless there is really no light of luck to consume for cultivation, I will continue to fall in love in Tonglin County.

Wouldn’t it be nice to play with the art of flower arrangement from time to time?

Bringing the topic back...

The third step is the next spring after Qiu Wei. The imperial court will hold another Spring Examination in Zhongjing. Only Qiu Wei passes. Only those who have never been an official can take the exam. Those who pass the exam will directly enter the sight of the imperial court. They can reach the sky in one step and are called Jinshi.

In addition, the top three appointed by Emperor Jing, the Imperial College in Zhongjing, etc. can only be regarded as various supplements to the huge imperial examination system of the Jing Dynasty.

　……

“I won’t go.” Lu Zheng shook his head, “This disciple is really not interested in being an official. What are you waiting for?It doesn't hurt to take the exam if you are interested. "

Taoist Master Mingzhang just felt sorry for Lu Zheng's literary talent. Lu Zheng didn't go, which was actually more to his liking. Anyway, he had cultivated himself, so he wouldn't be afraid of official targeting if he didn't commit any crime, and his family also had an industry to generate income. , you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, and it’s good to concentrate on cultivating Taoism.

“Forget it, in fact, you are successful in practicing Qi. If you really want to be an official, the imperial court will make an exception. But unless you have outstanding political achievements, otherwise It is inevitable to be marginalized by other colleagues who came from the imperial examination. "Taoist Master Mingzhang gave Lu Zheng a vaccination in advance.

Lu Zheng nodded and expressed his understanding.

Everyone worked hard to get up from the cold window, and Of course, if you suddenly land among a group of classmates, they will be unhappy with you.

Not to mention that you have a hard time cultivating Taoism and Qi, so people will not understand you because they are not in the same system.
< br /> Fortunately, Lu Zheng will not become an official.

Just kidding, Tonglin County household registration is not a panacea. If he really passes the exam, the court will only need to give him a political review, and there will be no "personal history" "The secret will definitely be exposed.

"The best result is that the background is unknown and the person will not be hired. The worst result is that he is regarded as a spy for other countries or forces and is directly sentenced to death. Then he will be dumbfounded. .

Don’t underestimate the court of the Jing Dynasty. This is a parallel world similar to ancient China. A unified dynasty is not a pirate society like Angsa, which doesn’t care about anything.

Therefore, before he had the strength to destroy the Jing Dynasty, Lu Zheng stated that he would never enter the core circle of various forces.

If he did not enter the core circle of interests, others would not investigate him in depth. Necessity.

When my strength is in place, I really want to be an official in the Jing Dynasty...

Yaya, political achievements, don’t you just have as much as you want?

　……

After having a vegetarian meal at Baiyun Temple and playing a game with Taoist Master Mingzhang in the afternoon, Lu Zheng said goodbye and left.

As soon as he walked out of the backyard, he saw Yuan Jing with a pale face and clutching her chest. She was supported by Zhike Taoist Yuan Ning and walked in.

Lu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and helped him. On the other side of Yuan Jing, "Senior Brother Yuan Jing, what's wrong with you? "

Yuan Jing shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I was careless! "

Lu Zheng, "..."

Yuanning, "..."

Lu Zheng glanced at Yuanning, but at him There was no look of surprise.

Seeing Lu Zheng looking at him, Yuanning explained, "Three days ago, Zhang Yuanwai of Pingtan County went to the mountain to ask for help. He said it was the old man whoThere was a ghost in the house, so the senior brother went down the mountain to kill the ghost. "

Yuan Ning turned and glanced at Yuan Jing's pale face, "Is that evil ghost powerful? "

Yuan Jing shook his head and nodded, "I'm a normal person, but I didn't expect him to have the ability to curse blood. I accidentally sucked out 20% of my blood by him, and the loss was considerable. "

"That evil ghost..."

"is dead. Yuan Jing said.

Lu Zheng nodded. It seemed that although Yuan Jing was always careless, she was still quite strong. Although she was plotted against, she still successfully completed the task of going down the mountain.< br />
“I will go to see the master first, and then I will rest for five days to replenish my energy and blood. "

"There is still some scorpion wine that Junior Brother Yuan Zheng brought last time. I will pour you a pot. "

"Okay! ”

So Lu Zheng just came out, and then helped Yuan Jing back to Taoist Master Mingzhang’s quiet room.

He paid homage to the master, and then informed the ghost remover. After passing by, Taoist Master Mingzhang poured a pound of Ganoderma lucidum wine sent by Lu Zheng to Yuan Jing with a look of helplessness and asked him to drink it while he was practicing.

He helped Yuan Jing to his side The bedroom, and then chatted for a few more words, Lu Zheng then went out, used his magic technique, and returned to Tonglin County.
