Chapter 141 Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, a gentleman
The palace maid named Mei had quick eyes and quick hands, and she supported Li Mingyue to prevent him from falling to the ground.
After Li Mingyue stabilized her body, she hurriedly suppressed the situation in her body to prevent the breath of blood from causing trauma to her body again.
Li Mingyue wondered in her heart, since this sword energy was left by her mother, why was she so hostile to him and even wanted to kill him on the spot?
Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju all frowned, obviously not understanding what happened.
At this time, the woman in the bell said: "It is worthy of being the treasure of the Zhenwu Mountain Sect. It can suppress all evil spirits on its own without being driven. It is really domineering."
Li Mingyue frowned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
He really didn't understand why he was related to the evil spirit?
The woman in the bell said: "It's not directed at you, it's directed at me. Of course, it may also be because of your contact with that little devil, and the complex situation in your body now, so it's not necessarily the case."
Li Mingyue was stunned.
This was the first time he heard this statement.
Li Mingyue asked directly: "Then how can I take away this sword?"
The woman in the bell said: "Either completely recover and take it out with your own strength, or use stronger power to destroy the stone tablet and forcibly erase the sword's intention."
Li Mingyue frowned.
The palace maid named Mei asked at this time: "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Mingyue shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid I have to stay in Tianshui Temple for a few more days."
The four of them were stunned for a moment, and then the palace maid named Mei nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements right away."
Just at this time, an old Taoist came out with the young Taoist boy from before, and then saluted and said: "This must be Master Li Xian from Qingyuan Mountain, please come in quickly."
Since he knows that Li Mingyue is from Qingyuan Mountain, he should know the identity of Li Mingyue's uncle, and he should have heard about what happened in the past few days. Otherwise, when he calls Li Mingyue, he should be "Uncle Li" instead of "Master Li"
.
Although it is just a simple title, there is a lot of meaning in it.
The palace maid named Ju did not follow Li Mingyue and others to Tianshui Temple. Instead, she turned around and went down the mountain. She should have told Li Mingyue that he was going to stop at Tianshui Temple. After all, there was still a coachman at the bottom of the mountain. We couldn't let people wait there in vain.
With.
After entering Tianshui Temple, Li Mingyue found that there were only this pair of masters and disciples in the entire Tianshui Temple. Apart from that, there were no other disciples. In other words, even if Li Qi and Meilan Zhuju were added, there were only seven people in Tianshui Temple.
Of course, Li Mingyue doesn't know yet whether the groom is one of them.
Everyone had a simple vegetarian meal first, and then Li Mingyue continued to take care of his physical condition, and then went to the monument to try again.
It is impossible for him to wait until his physical condition is completely improved before taking the sword, as the woman in the bell said, because he doesn't know how long it will take. Naturally, he cannot use external force to destroy the stone tablet and then forcibly erase the sword energy.
, to say the least, even if Li Mingyue wanted to, he wouldn't have such power.
The four of them, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, will also follow Li Mingyue. They are truly inseparable. As long as there is a slight situation with Li Mingyue, these four people can quickly detect it and take care of it with confidence. Because the four people's names are Li Mingyue.
It's a bit awkward to shout, and sometimes mistakes are made, so after asking four people for their opinions, I added the four characters "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter" to each of them, respectively.
As for who was older and younger among the four, Li Mingyue didn't know and didn't ask, but judging from their interactions during this period, "Dongmei" should be the biggest, Qiuju was the first, and then Xiazhu and Chunlan.
Of course, this is just Li Mingyue's own speculation.
In terms of cultivation, the four of them should be about the same. According to Li Qi, they are all in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm. The lowest level will not be lower than the Dragon Yuan Realm, and the highest level will not exceed the Dragon Yuan Realm. The difference is only in the early and late stages.
Because of what the woman in the bell said, Li Mingyue asked the little ghost to leave Tianshui Temple and wait around Tianshui Temple.
In this way, everyone stayed at Tianshui Temple for three full days. During these three days, Li Mingyue made no progress on the stone tablet. Every time he touched the stone tablet, the sword energy in it would
Spontaneous attacks, although Li Mingyue was able to touch the stone tablet for longer and longer, this was not because the sword energy in the stone tablet accepted Li Mingyue, but because Li Mingyue was able to persist under that sword energy for longer and longer.
This situation is similar to when Li Mingyue was practicing in Qingyuan Mountain. He was able to persist longer and longer under Su Qingfeng's offensive, not because of his progress in practice, but because his ability to withstand blows was getting better and better.
powerful.
Of course, it is undeniable that this is also progress.
In the past three days, the big exam in Haojing City has also come to an end. We only have to wait for Mr. Cheng, who is in charge of the exam, to announce the list, and then the fate of thousands of students will change from now on.
Of course, this time is just a screening. Whether you can finally enter the official career and prosper from then on will still have to wait for the spring exam next year. But if you can't hold the autumn exam, you will naturally miss the spring exam.
A hotel for students to rest was now empty. All the students had gone to the Imperial City to wait for the announcement of the rankings, but one person was sitting in the hotel eating breakfast and chewing his food slowly.
Compared with many students, he was dressed very shabbily, but his face had a lot of calmness that he didn't have, because he was confident about this autumn, not because he had a teacher who was a national teacher, but because of the ten years of hard life.
of dedication.
For others, Qiu Wei is just a formality. If it doesn't work once, then try it again. But for him, there is only one chance. Whether it is the current Qiu Wei or the previous provincial examination, once he fails, he will never have a chance to do it again.
Maybe. So compared to others, he has put in several times or even dozens of times of effort, and these efforts are his confidence and calmness at the moment.
After the shopkeeper finished what he was doing, he walked towards the poor student and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, don't you want to read the list?"
The shopkeeper didn't dislike this student. He didn't have the arrogance of a scholar, nor the inferiority complex of a poor man. He treated everyone equally, was humble and polite.
Wu Ziqi stood up and saluted, and then replied: "Anyway, the list has come out, which means that the results have been obtained, so it doesn't matter whether I go to see it or not."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense."
He motioned for Wu Ziqi to sit down, and then he also sat down opposite Wu Ziqi, looked at the food on the table, and said with a smile: "It's a good day anyway, I'll get you something delicious."
Wu Ziqi said hurriedly: "No, that's enough."
The shopkeeper who had already stood up smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'll treat you for free." Wu Ziqi was a little embarrassed and quickly thanked him.
The shopkeeper walked into the kitchen and soon took out a plate of beef with sauce and a bottle of wine. Then the two of them sat down to eat and chat. Wu Ziqi didn't drink, so he drank it by himself.
Not long after, a woman in the inner hall called out, and then the shopkeeper hurriedly got up and ran towards the inner hall. It felt like a mouse seeing a cat.
Wu Ziqi knew that this shop owner had a daughter-in-law who was very difficult to offend. Every time he saw her, even he felt scared. He had seen Li Mingyue who dared to kill the emperor with a single sword, and he had seen the man who could easily kill someone.
Her Majesty the Empress, who had corpses lined up in front of the Huaying Palace, had also seen the scenery, Qing Kong, and divine figures like Wang Quan, but he felt that none of them were as scary as this woman.
The woman's voice soon came from the inner hall: "Ruan, are you out of your mind? You don't know how much a plate of beef with soy sauce costs? Just eat it for whoever you feed it to, and feed it to such a poor scholar."
, do you really think he can go to high school? If he really has that ability, why wouldn’t he even have the courage to look at the imperial list?..."
There are many more to come, and this woman has no intention of avoiding Wu Ziqi, so the shabby students all listened, but just smiled bitterly, and then the shabby students took out all the stupid silver tattoos on their bodies and put them on the
On the table, get up and leave.
It seems that I have to borrow some from my husband first, otherwise it will be difficult for me to survive in Haojing City, where every inch of land is precious, let alone develop my ambitions.
After the tigress in the store had lost her temper, the store owner walked out of the inner hall with a somewhat disgraced look. All she saw was that the food and wine on the table were still there, and besides that, there were some scattered coins.
The shopkeeper frowned, hurriedly picked up the silver and ran out the door, but the shabby student was nowhere to be seen.
The shopkeeper looked at the money in his hand and sighed, and was about to walk back when a troop of cavalry happened to be running towards him and then stopped in front of the hotel.
The person in front of him was a young general. He first confirmed the name of the hotel, then looked at the store and asked, "Excuse me, does Wu Ziqi live here?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Master Qi, yes."
At this time, the woman came out. After seeing these soldiers, she was obviously a little scared and asked in a low voice: "Is that guy guilty of something? I said that guy has a sinister look and is definitely not a good person. Military
Master Mingjian, we are all duty-bound people and have nothing to do with him."
The young general on the horse was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This aunt has misunderstood. This time in autumn, Master Wu has won the leadership. The lower official is here to announce the good news, and at the same time inform Master Wu that Master Cheng wants to see him in person."
The couple froze on the spot, their faces full of shock.
The young general continued to ask: "Please let Mr. Wu come out for a moment. I'm a low-ranking official. It's really hard to disturb Mr. Wu."
The store owner said: "He just left."
The young general on the horse was stunned, frowned and asked: "Then do you know where he went?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
The young general looked ugly. What should he do now? Where can he find someone in such a big capital? If he can't find him, how can he tell Mr. Cheng when he goes back? He has heard that Mr. Cheng was killed by that person just a few days ago.
The new emperor has been deposed. I am afraid that he is in an extremely bad mood at the moment. Why don't he take it out on himself when the time comes?
He raised his hand and said, "Look for him quickly. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find Mr. Wu."
All the soldiers turned their horses and galloped away, leaving only the couple standing there knowingly, with confused faces.
