Time flies by, and it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the next year in a blink of an eye.
After Lingqing, Lu Dongbin and their two younger brothers celebrated the fifteenth day at home, they packed up and set off for Chang'an City.
An imperial examination will be held at the end of January or early February every year, and other exams will be counted separately.
This year's imperial examination will be held in early February.
Ling Qing and Lu Dongbin were each riding a horse, carrying a sword behind their backs. Their faces looked like the same person.
After all, the two were born from the same mother.
However, the difference is that Lu Dongbin was dressed in white and wore a Huayang scarf.
Lingqing, on the other hand, was wearing a blue-grey, almost green Taoist robe, with a simple Taoist bun on her head.
The two younger brothers were still young and sat in the carriage together.
Since Yongle County is not far from Chang'an City, Ling and Lu each have their own swordsmanship.
Therefore, except for the two younger brothers, who each brought a book boy, and a coachman who drove the car, there was no other escort.
We set out in the morning and entered the city at noon. When we arrived in the city, we stayed at the home of our eldest brother Lu Ji.
After taking a short rest, the eldest brother took the four of them, each from each household, to submit their poems for circulation and evaluation by the high-ranking officials and scholars in the court.
This will not only increase the success rate of passing the imperial examination, but also help you obtain the qualifications for the imperial examination.
After all, if you want to take the imperial examination, you need someone to guarantee you and someone to make your name famous.
After a lot of trouble, at the end of February, the results of the imperial examination came out.
The four sons of the Lu family all applied for Jinshi, but except for the fifth son, Lu Xuan, the other three failed.
However, Lingqing did not pay attention to the meaning of the scriptures when he was a child. Although he had been studying for a year, judging from his performance in school, it was expected that he would fail.
On the contrary, it was the hit that surprised everyone.
The sixth child, Lu Can, is young because he is only sixteen years old now and has not studied for a few years in total.
Moreover, this is also his first time to participate, and it is for the purpose of experiencing it.
But Lu Dongbin was different.
He has been very talented since he was a child. He was able to write at the age of ten and martial arts at the age of fourteen. He has taken the imperial examination for the sixth time since he was sixteen.
He was given high hopes again and again, but his reputation fell behind him every time.
The eldest brother opened his mouth when he saw him, but he didn't dare to speak.
I was afraid that if I didn't pay attention to that sentence, I would break his heart.
Above the heaven, the Eight Immortals have already returned to their positions: Tieguai Li, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, He Xiangu, Lan Cai and five others.
At this time, the five people were cultivating sincerely after Donghua's reincarnation, and from time to time they discussed what Donghua would be like after his reincarnation.
"Calculate the time, after the master is reincarnated, he should have grown up, right?" At this time, the five people were drinking and having fun, and suddenly Han Zhongli made a calculation and said.
"Do you think that after the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua, will he have the same serious face as before?" Tieguai Li asked.
"Hahaha, why bother saying that?" Han Zhongli smiled.
Then he straightened his face and imitated the appearance of his master, Emperor Donghua, stroking his beard with a serious expression on his face.
The lifelike appearance made several other people immediately become happy.
"By the way, I wonder what he has become now?" He Xiangu laughed for a while and then suddenly remembered.
"That's not that simple. You'll know just by looking at it, right?" Han Zhongli said, and he fanned the treasure in his hand. The clouds and mist dispersed in front of everyone's eyes, revealing a scene.
Among them, Ling Qingzheng and Lu Dongbin were seen wandering outside Chang'an City.
"How come there are two Emperors of Donghua?" Everyone exclaimed when they saw it.
Han Zhongli made some calculations and said: "It turns out that when master was reincarnated, he had a brother from the same mother.
I think one of them must be that brother."
"Then which one is the reincarnation of the emperor?" The other four looked at him and asked.
"Let me do the math, do the math." Han Zhongli said, counting in his hands.
"Hiss!" He took a breath and started calculating again.
"Have you settled it?"
"Don't worry, let me calculate carefully." Han Zhongli said and started calculating for the third time.
"Which one is the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua? Aren't you his disciple? How can it count for so long?" The others asked in confusion.
"If I say it's both, do you think it's possible?" Han Zhongli put away the amulet and looked at the people hesitantly.
"How is this possible? How can one person be reincarnated into two people?
It must be that you have been lazy these days and are not good at calculating. It depends on me." Tieguai Li said and started to calculate.
"Huh?"
"How about it?"
"I'll do the math again." Tieguai Li also started calculating for the second time.
After a while, he scratched his head and said, "It shouldn't be? It's really both?"
"Look, let me tell you." Han Zhongli spread his hands and said.
"Why are you so proud? You want Emperor Donghua to return to his throne. Now two of them appear at once. What should you do?" Tieguai Li couldn't help but said after seeing the proud look on his expression.
"this……"
Han Zhongli was splashed with cold water and started to have a headache.
Yes, if there is one more person, you will be the one who will be in trouble in the future.
I'm not afraid of saving someone more than once, but I'm afraid that I'll make a mistake and the Eight Immortals won't be able to return to their throne, which will be very difficult.
"It's useless to say so much now. Let's go and see for ourselves. It just so happens that it's time for Emperor Donghua to return to his throne." Zhang Guolao said sharply after seeing this.
"That's right, can you tell if you go and see it?" Everyone said, turned around and went out of the world.
First, he found a dilapidated thatched hut in Zhongnan Mountain and used magic to turn it into a happy home.
Then discuss what to do.
"For today's plan, we can't figure out who is the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua.
We can only try the two together. If both of them have immortal bones, there is no harm in converting them together.
If one of them is fake, it will definitely fail our test." Han Zhongli stated his plan.
"That's fine, it's up to you to make the decision." Everyone nodded.
After all, it is up to him to do it, and he still has the final say on how to do it.
"Well, of these two people, one is keen on fame and wealth, while the other is interested in the road.
We are like this, like this, and so on." Zhong Liquan patted his belly and said to everyone.
Lu Dongbin was very depressed because he failed to pass the exam again, so he took Lingqing out to drink and go out.
On the way, he looked at Ling Qing and said, "Aren't you disappointed that you failed the exam this time?"
"I'm not seeking fame. I came to take part in the imperial examination. I just came to fulfill my grandfather's last wish at the request of my parents.
Now that I have failed, I have just made my parents stop wanting to take the imperial examination. It is too late to be happy, so why should I be disappointed?" Ling Qing said with a smile.
"Hey, I am a Confucian who wants peace, and Xuanying has a strong ambition to be clothed with youth. Who can compete for fame and wealth in the world, who wants to serve the emperor and go to Yuqing." Lu Dongbin sighed and chanted loudly.
“What a poem, what a poem!”
A sound of praise came from the nearby wine shop, attracting their attention.
Lingqing and Lu Dongbin looked over and saw a tall Taoist in white with a double bun and a strange appearance, applauding with a smile on his face.
Seeing the two people looking over, the Taoist looked at Lu Dongbin and said, "I think this is the famous Lu Dongbin.
It is indeed a brilliant literary talent.”
Then he looked at Ling Qing and said: "And this is the lost and recovered fourth son of Lu Mansion, Lu Daoqing, right?
It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Today, I am destined to invite you two for a drink. I wonder if you two are willing to show your respect?"
"Since the Taoist Master has invited you, how dare we refuse?" Lu Dongbin was about to drink, but after hearing this, he immediately stepped into the wine shop.
Lingqing saw it and followed him in.
When the Taoist saw Ling Qing and the two sitting down, he called out: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and warm up the wine. I want to entertain guests today."
"Waiter, warm up Taoist Master's wine." An old man with white hair and beard at the counter called.
"Okay." A waiter held a charcoal stove with a wine jar warming on it.
He came to the three of them and put it down, saying: "Master Dao, this is the best Huangliang wine in our store. It has been prepared for you."
