Fengshan is located more than ten miles away from the northern suburbs of Jiangzhou. It is named after the many maple trees on the mountain. Every autumn, the maple leaves are as red as fire, which is very eye-catching.
In autumn this year, the maple leaves on Fengshan Mountain are extremely red and bright, covering the mountains and plains, like a cluster of huge torches burning. But compared with the flaming maple leaves, Chen Jianchen's mood is gray.
Chen Jianchen, whose courtesy name is "Liuxian", is from Jiangzhou. He is only sixteen years old this year. He is a student and is commonly known as "Xiucai".
Obtaining the qualification of a scholar is not an easy thing. You have to pass a strict entrance examination for children, from low to high, including three stages: county examination, government examination, and college examination. Only those who pass the first-level examination can become a student.
member.
This Chen Jianchen is quite extraordinary. He passed the county examination, government examination, and college examination three times in succession. He became famous for a while and was admitted as a junior student in Minghua Academy, a famous official school in Jiangzhou.
The so-called Lin Sheng means "Lin Shan Sheng Yuan". During the period of study, the imperial court will distribute Lumi every month to subsidize living expenses. It is equivalent to a "publicly funded student". He has no worries about food and clothing and can only concentrate on studying.
It can be said that Chen Jianchen has a bright future - if he has not been time traveled!
Yes, Chen Jianchen's soul consciousness has now changed hands and has been occupied by a modern college student from Earth.
Traveling through time is something that is something that can only happen but cannot be sought. However, when modern college students understand the world they have traveled into, they can’t help but feel a black eye——
Tiantong Dynasty!
A country that is highly similar to the Ming Dynasty - but it is only similar. A modern college student is sure that the historical process of this plane is not that of any dynasty that he is familiar with, and can be called a different time and space.
In fact, these issues are not the key.
The key is that if he wants to live well in this world and get ahead, Chen Jianchen must take part in the imperial examination and take various examinations with a wide variety of titles.
Before becoming a scholar, there is a third-level children's examination; after entering the academy, you have to take the annual examination and the scientific examination, which are divided into six grades according to the results; only those who obtain the first or second class in the scientific examination can qualify for the provincial examination; however, this is still far away.
It’s not over yet. After the provincial examination, there will be the general examination and the palace examination...
It is simply a matter of living and studying till old age.
Therefore, the mood of modern college students is gray.
Since high school, what he hated most was exams, unit tests, midterms and finals, and college entrance examinations. He was really "roasted" to death, and he was so "burnt on the inside and tender on the outside."
But what can be done? The national conditions are like this. Thousands of troops and horses are fighting for a single-plank bridge. Just follow the big team and rush.
Clinker accidentally traveled through time and came to another world. He actually became a student again. He took the exam and got more exams. Isn't this "roasting" someone on a fire?
"I'll knock your lungs out!"
Chen Jianchen cursed secretly and led a donkey on the mountain road.
In February next year, the college will start its semester.
Thinking of the miserable and boring life like a robot, Chen Jianchen felt irritable, so he went out alone to Fengshan to enjoy the scenery and relax.
During this period, many tourists came to Fengshan to enjoy the maple leaves. Most of them were local literati and poets from Jiangzhou. They were in small groups, either standing on the edge of the mountain road with their hands folded, as if looking deep and watching; or they gathered together in the Qianshan Scenic Area.
In the pavilion, people were drinking tea and drinking, talking loudly, opening and closing their mouths, and poetry was pouring out. You called and I responded, and it was very lively.
Chen Jianchen was already in a depressed mood and didn't want to crowd around, so he took a remote path and turned in.
This path was very quiet, with only a few birdsong occasionally coming from the shade of the trees. The Birdsong Mountain was even more secluded, adding a bit of elegance. As he walked, his mood began to relax.
Xin led the donkey by the hand and walked farther and farther, gradually arriving in the depths of a deserted mountain forest, with lush grass, gloomy trees, and scattered rocks. It was difficult to see a trace of human beings——
Chirp...
Suddenly, Chen Jianchen heard the cry of an animal in front of him, and then a little fox stumbled out from the jungle.
It's actually a rare white fox!
Its whole body is snow-white, without a trace of color, and its fur is as smooth as silk brocade, with a faint luster that flows like water waves, which is very strange.
This fox's right hind limb is bleeding, and drops of blood are falling on the ground, which is shocking; and a pair of very human eyes show sadness and pain, which makes people feel a little pity when they see it.
Even though he was injured, the white fox still ran hard, as if there was some natural enemy chasing it behind.
Ouch!
Sure enough, there was a wolf howl, and a moment later, a majestic black wolf pounced out.
This wolf is really huge. Its fur is pure black, shiny and smooth, its ears are long and pointed, its big eyes are fierce, and its fangs are intertwined in its big mouth. There is no doubt that if it bites you, your neck will be hurt.
They will all be bitten off.
The black wolf chased in a hurry, and the white fox panicked and ran straight to Chen Jianchen. His eyes were filled with tears, and when he looked at Chen Jianchen, he seemed to beg him to help him.
Chen Jianchen's heart moved inexplicably and he felt compassion. He quickly leaned over to pick up a stone and threw it at the black wolf.
Ouch!
The black wolf reacted very quickly and turned sideways to avoid it. However, being hindered by this, it did not dare to catch up rashly. It stood, roaring in its throat, staring at Chen Jianchen who was blocking the road, very fiercely.
Chen Jianchen felt a little nervous when he was stared at by this beast. He then remembered that he was just a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken. If he insisted on fighting a black wolf, he would definitely not end well. And his little donkey would not end well.
When the black wolf roared, he was so frightened that he ran away.
Weapons, find weapons quickly...
Thinking of this, Chen Jianchen looked around hurriedly, trying to find sticks and the like on the ground, but found nothing except fallen leaves all over the ground. In his panic, he couldn't even find a second stone that was heavy enough to throw.
Sad!
He groaned secretly, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He dug into the bookcase he carried on his back and took out a pencil case.
The pen box is only one foot long and is made of ordinary wood. It is quite rough and looks like a short stick. However, the writing brush contained in the pen box is not an ordinary thing. It is a brush that accompanies modern college students.
Products from the earth that the soul has traveled through have passed the test of time and space and are unique.
——In fact, it was after he accidentally came into contact with this antique writing brush called "Whispering Evil" in the museum that the bizarre time-travel incident occurred. This brush is said to be used by the "ghost-catching master" Zhong Kui, and it has quite an origin.
, which is very mythical. Of course, no one knows whether it is true or false.
When time travel became an established fact, Chen Jianchen found time many times to do various studies on this evil-proofing pen to see what mysteries it had, but in the end he found nothing, found nothing, and gave up in frustration.
Put it in a pen box, put it in a bookcase, and take it with you.
Now that the ferocious wolf was in front of him, he was unarmed. In a hurry, Chen Jianchen had no choice but to use this pencil case as a weapon. As for whether it worked or not, he couldn't think deeply about it.
Ouch!
The black wolf suddenly roared and began to advance.
Chen Jianchen swallowed hard and backed away step by step. When he was considering whether to run away and scream for help at the same time, several dogs barking for help came from the other side.
The dog barked, and the black wolf whined with an uneasy expression. The huge wolf head looked around. Finally, he made up his mind, glared at Chen Jianchen fiercely, spread his legs and got back into the jungle, and ran away.
Not long after, two agile hounds ran out of the forest on the left. Behind the hounds was an old hunter, over sixty years old and with a goatee. He carried a short knife on his waist and a hunting bow on his back. On his shoulders, there was
Two strong ropes. Rabbits, deer and other prey are tied to the ropes.
Chen Jianchen secretly shouted "lucky" and found that the little white fox had escaped at some point, but this was also a normal thing.
"Uncle Zhang, it's a good harvest today."
He knew the old hunter named Zhang Laosan, who was one of his neighbors.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Chen. I'm sorry. You're here for a mountain tour, right?"
In the Tiantong Dynasty, although scholars only belonged to the grassroots level of scholar-bureaucrats, they were, after all, people with meritorious status and enjoyed a certain degree of honor. Their status was much higher than that of ordinary civilians. And Chen Jianchen was talented and intelligent.
When he took the Tongsheng Examination, he ranked first in three tests. He was already famous and his future was limitless. Facing him, Zhang Laosan naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"Yes, but a wolf suddenly ran out of the forest just now, which scared me a lot."
Chen Jianchen didn't mention the white fox, but he was a little jealous of the wolf. Now he just wanted to tell Zhang Laosan to hunt it.
Zhang Laosan's eyes lit up and he warned: "Mr. Zhang, if you are traveling in the mountains, you should be in the front mountains. There are many wild animals in the back mountains. I'm afraid you may be in danger if you are alone."
"Thank you uncle for reminding me, I'll go out right now."
Chen Jianchen is not a fool. How can he still be interested in sightseeing and sightseeing at this time? Going home to eat is the right thing to do.
Over there, Zhang Laosan was already barking at the hounds, following them by smell, and chased deep into the jungle. His two hounds were experienced and could sniff out any clues on the ground. So they barked all the way, and gradually
Go away.
Chen Jianchen had no intention of thinking about whether his neighbor's hunting was going well, so he turned around and prepared to go down the mountain. But he had only taken a few steps when there was a "chirping" sound behind him. When he looked back, it was the little white fox, wasn't it?
I saw it standing up and facing Chen Jianchen. First, it raised its two forelimbs and brought them together, like a person doing a salute. Then it bowed respectfully to Chen Jianchen. After bowing, it then lowered its entire body.
, he knelt down and knelt down, his cute little head knocked respectfully to the ground, making a loud banging sound.
While bowing, he chirped, as if saying words of thanks.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jianchen was shocked and dumbfounded. His mouth felt dry and he didn't know what to do.
After kowtowing, the little white fox got up and started limping away in the other direction. However, when it was about ten steps away, it suddenly stopped again, turned around, faced Chen Jianchen, and repeated the kowtow action just now.
This happened three times in total, with such a serious, solemn look that Chen Jianchen had the illusion that it was not a little fox, but a grateful little girl. In the end, its petite figure was covered by the jungle, and slowly
It disappeared, and even the sound could not be heard.
"Vixen?"
After half a meal, Chen Jianchen came to his senses. When he heard the mountain wind blowing and rustling around him, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine. It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. The thought passed by quickly. He made two legs together and ran along the trail.
