After the exchange with the old Taoist priest, he disappeared. According to what he said before leaving, there would be no monsters in Ancheng in recent years. He was going to visit other cities. Maybe there would be a chance to get around one in the future.
Bend back.
Time passes and years rush by. For Wang Yuan, half a year has come very quickly.
Within the past six months, someone finally paid attention to his business, most likely to appraise some antiquities. However, Wang Yuan used his own eyes to appraise these mundane objects, but he was really overqualified. Therefore, all the antiquities appraised were accurate.
It also accumulated some good reputation for him.
On this day, Wang Yuan got up early, but did not open the door, because today was the day of the trial, and many literati came to Ancheng. Even Li Fei's tavern was full of people, making him smile so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door, and Wang Yuan, who was preparing breakfast by himself, walked out and opened the door with a frown on his face. After all, he had already hung a "not open" sign outside the door yesterday.
Opening the door, the innocent Xiao Qing stood outside the door with a reddish face, holding a small box. She didn't know what was inside. She looked at Wang Yuan and said shyly in a low voice: "Dong Yu, you are going to take the test today."
Hey, here is a fine pen and ink, made by me myself, you must use it!"
With that said, without waiting for Wang Yuan to refuse, the small box was handed to Wang Yuan, and then he turned around and ran away. But on the way, Xiao Qing turned around again, her shyness became more intense, and she said softly: "If you don't win,
It doesn't matter, I, I will still wait for you! Oh, what did I say!" Xiaoqing ran back to her home opposite like a frightened little rabbit.
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and was about to step into the courtyard, but a light female voice sounded: "Dong Yu! Just wait a moment!"
Yun Duo walked out of the house, trotted all the way, lowered his head, and handed the pile of clothes in his hand to Wang Yuan very coquettishly, and then ran back without saying a word!
Touching his nose, Wang Yuan smiled bitterly. Wang Yuan knew that the more relationships he had with them, the worse it would be for them and would transfer his bad luck of resisting the law of heaven to them. Therefore, Wang Yuan pretended to be confused every time.
I don't understand, it's for their own good.
On the day of the trial, the streets were full of scribes wearing long robes, holding folding fans or wearing turbans on their heads. Some wealthy children were followed by book boys. They did not need to do all the gifts and packages themselves. And some scribes walking alone,
Most of the time, the fate of the rest of life is bet on it, and success or failure depends on it.
Wang Yuan followed the flow of people to the test site in Ancheng. It was an open space covering an area of more than 100 feet. It was extremely wide. Every scribe took his seat one by one.
Wang Yuan searched all the way, and finally muttered: "Qiu Shan, Lian Zehan, Zhao Yan... Nong Yue... Hey, this name is really weird. You can't guess whether this person is a man or a woman just from the name."
At another glance, Wang Yuan's seat was right next to the scribe named Nong Yue, and then Wang Yuan sat down firmly. The idea of solving a knot in his heart emerged spontaneously. When he was a teenager, he also sat down.
I once dreamed of being able to stand out in this way one day.
The number of people in Ancheng's examination is not too large, and they are all assessed step by step in the township examination. Speaking of this quota, it is too simple for Wang Yuan, and he can get it by just using some tricks in a village.
When Wang Yuan sat down, not long after, a gust of breeze blew, and a young man with red lips, white teeth, and beautiful features sat in the "Moon Moon" position. There was also an old man beside the young man.
The young man's voice was clear and clear. When Wang Yuan listened attentively, his brows furrowed.
"Grandpa Gu, just wait for me outside. Don't break the rules of the trial, otherwise I will be angry!" the young man said with a smile.
The old man looked at the young man kindly and said: "Young master, there are many people here, so maybe someone will do something unexpected to you. Otherwise, I should go and talk to the city lord. He will still listen to what I say."
"Grandpa Gu!" The young man refused, stood up and shook the old man's arm, but when he stood up and took a look, he was suddenly startled, and then showed surprise, looked at Wang Yuan with great joy, and said softly: "It's you!
"
The old man was startled and turned around. Suddenly, a murderous aura grew and fell on Wang Yuan in an instant. Wang Yuan's expression did not change. The first time could not be counted, but if he could endure it the second time, he would not be the one.
Wang Yuan is here!
The consciousness that returned from the swordsman suddenly emitted, and the terrifying pressure suddenly rushed into the old man's mind. The old man immediately felt his brain roaring and exploding, and a mouthful of reverse blood stuck in his throat. As long as the pressure was stronger.
Some, the internal energy in his Dantian will be shaken away!
After a fleeting moment, his consciousness was withdrawn. Wang Yuan glanced at the old man coldly, then looked at the girl disguised as a man, showed a smile, nodded, and turned away.
The girl did not notice the change in the old man, and she also thought of the old man's warning to her not to let her have anything to do with Wang Yuan again, but just now she had forgotten it in her excitement, so she stared at the old man with fearful eyes.
, only to find the old man standing there, staring directly at Wang Yuan.
"Grandpa Gu, don't be angry, I'll ignore him, okay?" The girl shook the old man's arm, as if she was coquettishly, but also as if she was praying.
The old man's throat squirmed. After a moment, he said to the girl in a deep voice: "Miss, I'll wait for you outside. Just feel free to try lifting."
With that said, the old man patted the girl's fair arm and left. When leaving, he paused beside Wang Yuan before walking out.
The girl did not dare to look directly at Wang Yuan because of her worries, but she quietly glanced at Wang Yuan's small gesture, but she could not escape his eyes.
Wang Yuan's two spiritual consciousnesses were on the young girl and the old man respectively. If he wanted to know every move and every word he said every day, he would know it immediately, all in the blink of an eye.
After the spiritual consciousness is released, there are two possibilities for returning to the body. The first is that the spiritual consciousness stays with the swordsman and returns to the body on its own after feeling the swordsman's decisive intention. The second is that Wang Yuan
I took it back personally, but it was not satisfactory and unsatisfactory.
Therefore, Wang Yuan left the rest of his spiritual consciousness aside for the time being and allowed them to comprehend the world of mortals on their own.
After thinking about this, the content of the test came out. A middle-aged man in official uniform announced the test questions.
When Wang Yuan heard this, his eyes flashed, and he wrote down what he thought on the white and pure paper with ink like rain. What he learned was all understood by himself within the sect, and he wrote it with the eyes of a monk.
It's a little different after I write it down.
After finishing writing what he thought freely, not long after that, more scribes were deep in thought. Wang Yuan raised his head strangely, not understanding what they were thinking. After shaking his head in confusion, Wang Yuan
Stand up, turn around and walk straight out of here.
Wang Yuan's leaving figure deeply attracted the eyes of all the scribes, and they all looked surprised. But in the end, the surprise turned into contempt, and for a while, the sound of sighs could be heard.
The middle-aged man in official uniform standing at the front frowned and shouted: "Quiet!"
In an instant, all the scribes lowered their heads and immersed themselves in thinking. The middle-aged man looked at Wang Yuan's back and said secretly: "What is this guy doing? Could it be that he has already finished his answers in a short period of time? Let me take a look at him."
What’s written!”
Immediately, the middle-aged man slowly walked towards Wang Yuan's actions. When he picked up the question paper, his brows furrowed deeper. There were only a few crosses. What is the difference between this and a blank!
"It seems that this boy has given up on this attempt. Alas, I have seen too many students like this... Huh!?" The middle-aged man was suddenly stunned, his eyes were attracted to the few crosses!
Suddenly, the middle-aged man exclaimed, his hand holding the question paper was trembling, and he said hesitantly: "This, this... this is treason!"
He immediately took the question paper, gave instructions to the others, and turned around and walked into the backyard. In the backyard, there were several old men sitting, all of whom were well-educated and high-ranking officials. They were drinking tea together and discussing the past and present.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked quickly, which was detrimental to the demeanor of a scribe, but he couldn't care so much!
"Xiang Hui, why are you panicking and how rude are you!" A gray-haired old man among the old men shouted in a low voice, because he was his student.
"Teacher, the student is being reckless, but this matter is of great importance. Please review it carefully!" The middle-aged man Xiang Hui respectfully handed over what Wang Yuan had written.
The old man was slightly stunned, took the question paper, glanced at it twice, suddenly his eyes widened, he stood up, pointed at the question paper with trembling fingers, and shouted: "How could there be such a gangster?
The following offender! Xiang Hui, go and put this man in prison immediately, I will interrogate him personally!"
The middle-aged man Xiang Hui took the order, walked out of the back door, ordered a few soldiers and looked for Wang Yuan.
The old man's lips turned blue with anger, and he sat down tremblingly. The other old men sitting with him asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
"See for yourselves!" The white-haired old man slapped the paper on the table, and then the other old men began to read the few crosses.
"The way of a gentleman is the way of a villain..."
These high-ranking Ancheng officials, who are rich in knowledge and talents, took the examination question this time - On the Way of a Gentleman.
"It's unreasonable. This man compares us gentlemen to villains. How can we tolerate him?" Another old man blew his beard and slapped his hand on the table and scolded.
"The words below are even more astonishing. They are extremely treasonous and unethical!"
…
When Wang Yuan walked out of the examination room and was walking back, the old man who was talking about Grandpa Gu suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. His expression was a little solemn. After seeing Wang Yuan, it changed several times.
"Sir, I don't know the identity of the Supreme Immortal. Please forgive me if I have offended you." The old man solemnly bowed to Wang Yuan with clasped fists.
Wang Yuan looked at him coldly, his expression unchanged, and said calmly: "I won't do this next time!"
The old man quickly nodded in agreement, but his forehead was sweating profusely, and he still couldn't let go of the trace of worry in his heart.
