The day when the results were released was undoubtedly another torment for most students.

After ten years of hard study, I can’t get any fame and fortune. Many people return disappointed. On the road to pursuing fame, millions of people really squeezed across a single-plank bridge.

Kang Wanrong is from Haikang County. Although he has received convenience, he is still twenty miles away from the city.

He did not choose to spend the night in Leizhou City, but returned home overnight. His house was two connected thatched huts, with a straw trunk to the east, a broken water tank and a earth stove, which he usually makes a fire here.

meal.

The news spread faster than he thought, and his family had already learned about his failure.

"I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes. Marrying you, a poor man, and taking advantage of a waste father-in-law! Now when I go back to the village, people laugh at me for being such a waste father-in-law, and even my Zhang family's face is lost!

"But it was the voice of the daughter-in-law.

But I don't know what my son said, and my daughter-in-law's voice suddenly rose and said, "This life cannot be passed! Dividing the family! If I don't separate, I will leave you. I don't want to be dragged down by your useless father.

Can't lift it!"

Kang Wanrong heard the noise gradually became less and sighed softly, then pushed the door and entered his room.

Compared with his fierce daughter-in-law, his wife is very virtuous, but she is even more so, but she feels more indebted to her.

The wife seemed to guess that he would go home overnight, pointed to the table and said, "There are two buns, you can eat them!"

Kang Wanrong ate two buns, but when he was lying down to go to bed, he heard the stomach of the person beside him gulp, which made his tears immediately burst out.

Early the next morning, his wife was so hungry that she was weak and said to him weakly: "I'm so hungry. You took the duck to the market to sell it so that you can change some rice and cook porridge!

”

Kang Wanrong went out with the duck in his arms and walked to the official road. Several fast horses walked from the north.

Wow...

The duck was frightened and screamed a few times, but struggled from his arms and actually got into the grass and disappeared.

He knew that this was the last little reliance in the family, and his wife was still waiting for him to sell ducks and exchange rice to go back to cook porridge, so he hurriedly chased the ducks. After searching for more than half an hour, he still couldn't find them.

Traces of the duck.

"Forget it! Forget it!"

Kang Wanrong suddenly raised his head and looked at the gray sky, thinking that his scientific examination was not going well, and his wife was hungry again and again, and she had the idea of ​​suicide.

He came to a pine tree, brought a stone, and untied his belt. He just lost his energy for a long time and couldn't hang it up. He was thinking: Is God not letting him die, but he hanged it up

.

Kang Wanrong stepped on the stone, thinking about the past, and was unwilling to be sad. He resolutely put his head on, then his body hung up, and his eyes were also dark.

In this era, it is no longer a problem to suddenly have one or two corpses on the tree.

Just when he thought he would see the King of Hell in the underworld, he leaned against the tree stump. He found that there were suddenly a group of people around him, probably because they were rescued. An old Taoist priest looked at him with bright eyes.

he.

"Extend your hand!" the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke.

Kang Wanrong did not violate it, but stretched out the person over. After feeling the warmth in the other party's hands, he knew that his guess was right. He was indeed not dead yet and was still in the world.

"Why are you seeking death?" The old Taoist priest carefully checked his palms and asked at the same time.

Kang Wanrong felt bitter in his heart, and he sarcastically said to the old Taoist priest who was looking at the face: "Master, if you really have the ability, you will naturally see why I was seeking death!"

"I naturally have real skills. I came from Luofu Mountain. The ancestor was the Luofu Golden Immortal who had attained enlightenment!" The old Taoist priest took his eyes from his hand and said proudly.

When the people around him heard this, they immediately looked at the old Taoist priest with respect.

Luofu Mountain is also known as Dongqiao Mountain. It was listed as the top ten famous mountains after the Five Mountains in the Han Dynasty. Taoism calls it the Seventh Cave Heaven and the Thirty-Two Blessings, and has the reputation of "the No. 1 Mountain in Lingnan".

Looking at the entire Guangdong and Guangxi region, Taoist priests in Luofu Mountain are the most famous. It is said that Pan Maoming from Gaozhou Prefecture studied under Luofu Mountain and later benefited the country in Maoming.

Not to mention the level of this Taoist priest, just being born in Luofu Mountain is enough to make everyone respect it.

The old Taoist priest seemed to see through everything and continued indifferently: "You have nobleness in your destiny, and you shouldn't be dead here! If you can trust me, then put aside your thoughts of seeking death first and follow me for the time being!"

As he said that, the old Taoist priest stood up and turned toward the official road outside the forest.

"What are you waiting for? Keep up!"

"This Taoist priest looks extraordinary at first sight. Maybe he is your nobleman!"

"I heard that Lin Lei Gong was enlightened by a Taoist priest and then he started Wenyun. Why don't you keep up quickly?"

...

The people around were all enthusiastic. Seeing Kang Wanrong staying still, the old Taoist priest walked away decisively and immediately rushed Kang Wanrong to follow him.

Kang Wanrong gritted his teeth and thought that his life was almost gone. What's wrong with following the old Taoist priest?

After leaving the forest, there was a carriage parked outside, and there were several followers riding tall horses surrounded by them, and they knew that this one was indeed not an ordinary Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest invited him to the carriage, and Kang Wanrong sat carefully next to him. When asked again why he wanted to die, he no longer rudely this time, and he told all the grievances he suffered.

After listening to Kang Wanrong's narration, the old Taoist priest stroked his beard and asked, "What are your plans?" Perhaps he felt that this question was inappropriate, and then added, "Are you still going to continue to study the science path?"

"Immortal Master, do you think I can still count on it?" Kang Wanrong asked bitterly. Yesterday's blow was undoubtedly extremely heavy, making him dare not have any hope for the imperial examination.

The old Taoist priest looked at him and said seriously: "With your current age, even if you pass the exam, it may be difficult for you to pass the exam! And if you fail to achieve the reputation of the Juren, it is better to give up earlier!"

"But I have spent half my life on this science journey. Now I have no strengths. Even if I give up, what can I do?" Kang Wanrong said sadly.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard lightly and looked at him and said seriously: "You have no literary spirit and no official fortune in your life, but you are obsessed with it. How could you not get rid of your head and blood?"

"Please give me advice!" Kang Wanrong bowed seriously.

The old Taoist priest was silent for a moment and said lightly: "You follow me first, I will find a way out for you!"

"Thank you, Master!" Kang Wanrong bowed in a complicated mood.

This carriage goes from north to south, so it naturally needs to enter Leizhou City.

When Kang Wanrong came to this sad place again, he was filled with mixed feelings. He just listened to the noise outside and the crowded carriages, but he had to admit that Leizhou City had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Sometimes, he has to believe in fate.

He was also from a poor family. He studied hard for half his life and was still wandering at the door of the student. Lin Wenkui, who was only eighteen years old, has won six yuan in a row and became the emperor of a mansion, and has even managed Leizhou City in a very vivid way.

The car suddenly stopped and the old Taoist priest invited him to go down.

Huh?

Kang Wanrong landed and looked up at the gate of the government office, but was stunned for a moment. However, he did not expect that the old Taoist priest would bring him here, and the old Taoist priest had already strode in.

He naturally came to the government office and many times, but only in the six-bedroom area. But this time, the old Taoist priest seemed very familiar with this place and walked into the area inside without any obstacles.

The two arrived at the door of the signing room, and the old Taoist priest said to Kang Wanrong: "You wait for me here for a while, and I will go back!"

"Okay!" Kang Wanrong bowed and felt more respect in his heart.

The old Taoist priest is naturally Lan Daoxing. Now Lan Daoxing is no longer as sloppy as before. Instead, he cleans himself up and looks more and more like a Taoist priest who has attained enlightenment.

Lin Weiran, wearing a fourth-rank official robe, sat upright at the table, focusing on reviewing the reports from the five counties. Except for the situation in Dianbai County, the other four counties were suffering from floods.

The consequence of this flood is naturally that the land is poor, and the people have to worry about their livelihoods, while his parents are worried about taxes and should also prevent the people from failing to obtain a series of problems.

When he heard that Wu Daoxing was eating and drinking, the Taoist priest who had been eating and drinking had finally come back, he felt a little energetic and put down the problems in his heart for the time being, and summoned Wu Daoxing immediately.

Sun Jixiang brought Wu Daoxing in, but was surprised to find that Wu Daoxing did not respect him when he came in, but stroked his gray beard and looked at Lin Qingran unscrupulously.

Lin Qingran didn't care, so he looked at him and asked, "Do you show me the face again?"

"Not bad! The adult's face has improved a lot, and he already has the fate of a minister!" Master Wu did not rush to answer. He came to the table and reached out to touch the teapot. He did not dislike the tea being cold. He said while pouring the tea.

Lin Qingran rolled his eyes, and naturally did not believe the nonsense of cheating on food and drinking Taoist priests. With his current momentum, even if he became a minister, he would fail, let alone a small minister, but he was a different topic.

: "How did I do what I told you?"

"I have received a reply from Beijing and the matter has been completed!" Master Wu took a sip of tea and answered seriously.

Lin Xuran nodded with satisfaction and asked for verification again: "Your junior brother is really trustworthy, right?"

"I understand him! Except for the fact that his Taoist practice is a little worse and his mouth is a little stupid, everything else is fine, so it is naturally more than enough to handle this matter!" Master Wu poured another cup of tea and said with a guarantee.

Sun Jixiang looked at the two of them quietly. Although he knew that Lin Qiran had sent Wu Daoxing out to do business, even now, he still didn't know what Wu Daoxing had done.

Of course, he also knew that some things belonged to Lin Weiran's secrets, and it would be better not to know them.

Outside the signing room, Kang Wanrong looked at the yard full of majesty and swallowed nervously. He also raised his ears and listened to the movement inside, and he could indeed hear the voice of the Mansion Lord.

He respects the Lord of the House from the bottom of his heart. He is not only a role model for people in the world to study, but also acquainted with his fame and reputation in his childhood, making him remember this kind of kindness very much.

It was intermittent, and although you could hear the voices of Lord Lin and the old Taoist priest, it was not very real.

Not long after, Wu Daoxing walked out of it and said to Kang Wanrong: "Let's go!"

The two left the government office, but did not take a carriage, but walked onto the west street of Zhenzhong. Walking into a long alley, I soon came to a house with the two big words "Lin Mansion" hanging on it.

"Immortal Master, where is this?" Kang Wanrong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Magistrate Lin's house!" Wu Daoxing replied carelessly.

"Immortal Master, are you aide to Lord Lin?" Kang Wanrong said in awe.
To be continued...
