(I wrote a wrong data in the previous chapter. The number of admissions to the Yangzhou provincial examination this year is 19. It was written as twenty-nine when I wrote it. It has been corrected and does not hinder reading. Thanks to the book friend "Yi Shui Jianli" for his careful reminder!)

At night, Longmen Inn, which had been making a fuss all day, calmed down. The provincial examination results were released, and the dust settled. The spirit of the past was full of energy, waiting to attend the Luming Banquet hosted by the prefect of Yangzhou; those who failed were sad and packed up their bags and wanted to go home in shame tomorrow morning.

During dinner, Chen Sanlang specially invited Zhou Hezhi and Gu Linchuan and others. When talking about his future plans, Gu Linchuan was going to lie on firewood and taste gall after returning, and made a comeback in three years. As for Zhou He, he was discouraged and wanted to open a private school in the countryside to teach some misty children, so he gave up.

Joys and sorrows are only tonight.

When the moon is in the middle of heaven and man is quiet.

Chen Sanlang quietly sat cross-legged on the bed and performed visualization: After passing the imperial examination, the Haoran Silk Book in his mind clearly changed.

This book has nine pages in total; when I first got it, I could only watch the more than a thousand words of the mantra on the title page, and felt it was very profound and difficult to understand; I slowly feed blood and raise the sword, cultivate the small sword to create spirituality, and finally enlighten the sword; then this sword made many achievements, killing evil spirits, absorbing nutrients, and greatly increasing its power;

The relationship between books and swords complements each other; the small sword feeds back, so that the silk book can turn the page and see the content of the second page; when you get the title of scholar, you will be warmed up, and the content of the second page is solid and clear, without any mistakes.

Now, after passing the exam, and being the first place in Jieyuan, the effect of fame and fortune is naturally not easy. When visualizing, I feel clear and happy, and an invisible wind blows by. The pages of the book are turned, and the magic tricks on the third page are presented. Characters appear like elves jumping out of their hiding place, appearing in front of me...

"There is no harm in the world. Even if there are saints, there is no talent to do; if there are wise men, there is no meritorious person..."

Reading lines of words, it was like streams flowing through my heart, and I could taste the sweet taste, as if I was eating a delicious meal.

Reading is like a meal, but it is nothing more than that.

When it was so refreshing, the red sandalwood box placed on the table automatically opened. A sword flew out brightly, and the light was shining, flying around Chen Sanlang, feeling very happy.

"... Therefore, it is said: Times are different and things are different..."

My heart suddenly became clear and I couldn't help but slam the table: "It should be a big deal!"

Clam!

The small sword that was spinning and dancing was penetrated directly into the ground, and from its original sharpness, it turned into a long sword. The sword body was simple and the color was deep.

This is called the state of "standing and standing"!

If you pass the imperial examination, you will be able to stand in this body.

The kingly law of the Xia Yu Dynasty stipulates that anyone who has obtained the status of a scholar's fame and status should wear a sword.

Chen Sanlang was in his hand and was happy in his heart. He looked at the red sandalwood box on the table again. He said intimately: I have to change to a sword box...

But, what should I change it to?

People in the martial arts world wear swords and swords, and they carry them on their backs. However, this posture and manner undoubtedly seem strange and strange in the scholars. Generally, scholars carry swords and are mostly hung on their waists. In fact, those with fame and fortune above the juren can wear swords, but when they travel, they really have to carry swords with them. Even if they hang swords on their waists, they are mostly just like jade pendants, and they exist as jewelry.

Chen Sanlang's situation is special. For him, the Evil Sword is almost a weapon that is of life-threatening importance and cannot be left easily.

From this perspective, it is still the original pocket-sized appearance, which is more convenient, carrying in and out, killing evil and demons, and is invisible and without trace.

As soon as the thought arose, the Sword of the Evil Slaying Sword returned to its original state as if he wanted.

When Chen Sanlang saw this, he was surprised: If you can fulfill your wishes, what is the origin of this thing? Is it really a legendary magic weapon?

In the category of magic instruments, no matter which grade, I have never heard of any change in this way.

He twisted the small sword in his hand and looked at it with love: Baby, what a baby!

...

When Dongting Lake is approaching September, it is very cold every morning and evening, with frost and dew flying, staining the dense reed poles.

On the shore of Dongting Lake and behind Yueyang Tower, there is a town called "Dongting Town".

In the dynasty, Dongting Lake has a transcendent status and is not under the jurisdiction of the court, and so is Dongting Town. However, it does not mean that there is no order. On the contrary, the order of Dongting Town is better than that of any town. Once upon a time, there was an unwritten rule here: Those who act rashly will die!

According to legend, this rule was formulated by Dragon Lord.

The source of the rules is unexplainable, but it really exists. Over the years, there have been many outsiders in the town who are self-reliant, but their final outcome is terrible and quite miserable.

It's strange that the scope of application of this rule is only in the town, and the edge area will not work, including the Yueyang Tower next to it. Otherwise, that night, Yuan Geshu would not have let the follower fight with the Qingshan Jianghu guest.

If you don’t do it, you may not feel the frustration and boredom that you will be later.

These days, Yuan Geshu was not in a good mood. It seemed like a thorn was stuck in his heart, which was uncomfortable. The words of the Qingshanke always echoed in his ears: "Using the ancestors to seek personal gain, and cherishing his life when doing big things is like a dry bone in a tomb, not a hero."

Yuan Geshu was influenced by his father since childhood, and he was well-read and had a high spirit. He aimed at the world. But now he suddenly came out and pointed at his nose and scolded him for a lesson: "You are not a hero..."

This tone is very similar to my father Yuan Wenchang. However, although Yuan Wenchang is strict in educating his children, he will scold, beat and punish them, mainly to hope that his son will become successful. However, Qingshanke said one sentence, which is used to erase all his efforts to deny Yuan Geshu's spirit and efforts.

More importantly, when Brother Yuan was afraid that the other party would suddenly kill, he subconsciously hid behind the guard and watched the Qingshan Guest leave.

Qingshanke's words were like a knife, cutting through the deepest hidden weakness in his heart, exposed, bloody, feeling both fearful and shameful.

After returning to Dongting Town, Yuan Geshu immediately issued an order and sent people to search the origin and whereabouts of Qingshanke, but to this day, he has found nothing. Taoist Zhengyang has no way to calculate and no clues can be found.

For this reason, Yuan Geshu seemed restless and his plan to attract strange people and strangers has also been quite unsatisfied.

Taoist Zhengyang saw it and was worried. He even suspected that the Qingshan Guest had deliberately made this move and attacked Yuan Geshu.

"September is coming. Seeing that great opportunity is about to emerge, at this time, the young master must not be distracted..."

The Taoist priest decided to have a good talk with Yuan Geshu. At this moment, he felt something, raised his head and looked south--

The south is the direction where Yangzhou is located.

Taoist Zhengyang had a happy face: "The third seed broke through the ground and sprouted, and the piglet began to gain weight... OK, it's timely!"

He pinched his fingers and felt a little confused: "This person's fortune is so high. It's really rare. It's only a short time. Looking at the signs, I'm afraid that the color of the fortune will be light red, not far from the 'good luck'..."

However, this is not impossible. First, he used his secret technique to bless and fatten; second, Chen Sanlang was recognized by the woman with a strange life. Under the influence of many factors, it is not surprising that luck is rising.

"No matter how much he is, the faster he is, the earlier he will be slaughtered. The more helpful it will be to the young master... Before he knew it, the second pig was almost raised."

Over the years, in order to support Yuan Geshu to successfully take office, Taoist Zhengyang has almost traveled all over the territory of Yangzhou, savoring feng shui, exploring talents, and searching for essential resources in the early stage of captivity. In more than ten years, he only found three people suitable for captivity and used secret methods on them.

Among them, Du Yinyan is the first, Chen Sanlang is the third, and will be the last one. As long as Yuan Geshu absorbs these three resources, he will determine the amount of energy. As for the later competition in the Central Plains, it can not only be determined by life and fortune.

But what is certain is that as long as you take the lead in forming a number of energy, you will have a huge advantage, destroying and irresistible.

"The foundation will be completed and is just around the corner!"

...

The Lu Ming Banquet was scheduled for the third day after the provincial examination was released. The Lu Ming Banquet was hosted by the prefect of Yangzhou Wang Yingzhi. The banquet was held in a large manor next to the Yamen.

This circle is called: Wanxiang Garden.

There are many trees in the courtyard, rockery and flowing water, pleasant scenery and changing landscapes, so they are named "all things".

The garden had been arranged long ago, and there were lights and decorations everywhere. The yamen transferred hundreds of officials to the venue to maintain order and discipline.

On the morning of the day when the Luming Banquet began, there were endless new imperial examination candidates coming to the banquet, all dressed brightly, which was completely different from the situation during the provincial examination. The most obvious point was that they basically came in a sedan chair when they came.

Those who can make sedan chairs are all master-level figures.

Once you get fame and fortune, even if you were originally from a poor family, but now you have fame and fortune, you will have local gentry sending money, slaves, servants, houses and daughters. It is quite generous to catch a son-in-law under the list. Otherwise, how can you "catch" a son-in-law?

Among them, Chen Sanlang, who walked by, looked unique. He had just reached the age of 1980s and had only one fiancée. He had never officially passed by and was handsome. The most important thing is that he was Jie Yuan. Therefore, in the eyes of many Yangzhou gentry families, Chen Sanlang is an absolute hot commodity.

In the past few days, the threshold of Longmen Inn has been almost trampled.

Fortunately, Chen Sanlang was foresighted and moved out of Longmen Inn the next day after the announcement, and moved to another house, thus avoiding endless troubles.

Today, he ran over to Lu Ming Banquet and was about to take a boat home after attending the banquet.

When he arrived at the Vientiane Garden, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate took the invitation and felt a little frightened. He quickly let it go: I heard in advance that Jie Yuan, who ranked first in this provincial examination, was very young. Now he looked so young.

When I entered the garden, I saw many priests greeting each other in groups. Some people also looked for opportunities to talk to the internal and external curtain officials, especially Su Yanran, the chief examiner of this year's provincial examination, who was surrounded by the most people. The new priests were respectful and polite to him and called him "the teacher". If they were well-organized, the relationship between the examiner and the teacher was quite useful.

Chen Sanlang's arrival also attracted the attention of the juren on the same list. He came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Jie Yuan is here..."

All are polite words without much nutrition.
