Liao Zhai's Refining God

"Brother Ziting, why do you have such an expression? Could it be that I failed the examination of scholar." Wang Lin asked in surprise.

"No, Brother Wang is ranked ninth. I am lucky to be slightly better than my younger brother. I am ranked third. We are both in high school." Lu Ziting hesitated to speak.

"It turned out to be about the same as Ning Caichen expected!" Wang Lin was slightly taken aback and continued: "Then why does Brother Ziting have such an expression?"

"Well, some students reported to the government office that Brother Wang's success in the exam was the result of the secret care of the Xuezheng adults. It is impossible for you to pass the exam with your talent and learning. Originally, the inspector's office was independent of the government office and was not subject to the government's approval. Yamen control, but it involves Xuezheng himself. In order to prove his innocence, he suggested that the Futai master organize to find out the cause of the matter, and the Futai Yamen announced that they would hold a defense essay meeting to publish Brother Wang's exam papers to the public. , At the same time, he also invited Brother Wang to participate in the self-proving of innocence.

The inspector’s office issued a notice asking you to arrive on time. I have explained the situation to the inspector’s office, so they didn’t send the official document to Guobei County. Now there are only two days before the essay defense meeting. If you don’t come back, I will prepare I went to find you, if you don't go, you may be disqualified. "Lu Ziting said.

"It's very interesting to analyze the Wenhui." Wang Lin said with a slight smile.

Although it is said that the master of Futai is in charge of all the government affairs of a mansion, it is understandable to conduct verification under such circumstances, but it is a bit nondescript to hold such an award meeting. Wang Lin speculates that it is probably for the sake of the master Xuezheng Face, but it is a bit intriguing that this appraisal and appreciation meeting is hosted by the government office.

"Brother Wang has such a broad mind. Brother Wang isn't even angry when such a petty person conspires to harm others. Admire, admire!" Lu Ziting said.

"Haha!" Wang Lin smiled and did not answer.For scholars, this fact is really a big deal. If it is verified to be true, it will not only ruin the Qing name, but also cut off the road to the imperial examination, because the state has laws in Daxia, and anyone who plagiarizes will be banned from the exam for life.

"Young master, the leader of Ningshan Town personally intervened, and ordered his subordinates to report to you. We have already eliminated the harm for the people, Li Erlang; Punishment, expulsion from the boat gang. The gang leader also ordered the law enforcement hall to draw inferences from one instance, strictly enforce the law, and never allow similar things to happen again." Soon after returning, Niulan came to report.

"Good!" Wang Lin nodded.In fact, during this period of time, Wang Lin has already received bits and pieces of wish power, and through the altar, she can feel the reason for the wish power, which is related to the boat gang. Wang Lin is the direct driving force for cleaning up those who harm the people, so Wang Lin can get some power of will.

"Young master, the lord asked his subordinates to congratulate you on high school. At the same time, the lord heard that there are young people who are causing trouble for you. The lord said that if you think your hands are dirty with these small things, we can do it for you. Guarantee those young people I can't see the sun tomorrow." Niu Lan said.

Chapter 116 Laurel

"No, the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes. How can the simple and brutal killing of articles be solved. This award meeting is new, but I want to see it. You are not allowed to intervene." Wang Lin said.

"This subordinate understands that this subordinate will pass on what the young master said to the leader." Niulan is a rough man, who felt that what Wang Lin said was very meaningful, and he couldn't understand it, so he hurriedly said.

"My lord is back!" Arriving in the back garden, the little fox jumped into Wang Lin's arms proudly.

"Hey, what is your neck? A collar?" Wang Lin looked at the bright red soft cloth collar on the snow-white little fox's neck, on which were embroidered four small characters "Little Lu Family Fox" with yellow thread. , suddenly surprised.

"Brother Wang, I ordered this on the street. If one day the little fox ran out and was caught, he would know that someone raised this collar and would let her back." Lu Ziting said.

"You, Brother Ziting is really thoughtful, I admire, admire! Haha." Wang Lin could only smile wryly without words.

The crossbone in the little fox's throat has been refined, and he can already speak. According to Wang Lin's understanding of monsters, with his cultivation level, it is absolutely impossible to refine the crossbone by himself. Apparently, he was born with an extraordinary background, and with a collar wrapped around his neck, the little fox was still willing to eat it, and Wang Lin could only be speechless.

"Brother Wang, I heard that your father and Xuezheng were colleagues, why don't you go and pay a visit." Lu Ziting reminded cryptically the next day.

"It's not appropriate to visit at this time. If you cause trouble to Mr. Xuezheng, wouldn't it be a great crime." Wang Lin pondered.

"Brother Wang is kind. If I care about it, it will cause chaos. I only think about the immediate trouble." Lu Ziting said.

Two days later, at dusk, the laurel garden next to the Gongyuan was decorated with lanterns and festoons. In the center of the garden, a three-meter-high pavilion was covered with a red carpet. Tea and fruits had already been put on the table. The main seat, with tables and chairs on both sides.

Hundreds of wooden benches were placed on the garden square below the pavilion. This is to invite students who have not left Fucheng and students who live in Fucheng to watch tonight. There are even outsiders around, so it is already bustling. There was a lot of people.

Laurel Garden is a famous garden in Fucheng, where various literary and poetry meetings are held. The garden covers an area of ​​thousands of acres and has many pavilions. There are famous poems and songs on each pavilion. It is a famous place in Jinhua Prefecture. One of the landscapes.

Moreover, because the day of the government test in the past years is the night of the full moon, some people call the government test the monthly test, and the three-year Juren test is on the day when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant in August, also known as the osmanthus test. This is named, so the implication is extraordinary.

When Wang Lin heard from Lu Ziting that the debate was held at night, she felt a little ridiculous. It can be seen that the literary style of Daxia was at its peak, and most of the literati were arty, so the night was more poetic and picturesque.

After entering the garden with Lu Ziting, Wang Lin also felt the heyday of the debate tonight, and there were even an endless stream of female guests, Yingyingyanyan.Wang Lin suddenly realized that this kind of appreciation meeting is a good opportunity for talented scholars and beautiful ladies to "see each other".

"Brother Wang, you are the protagonist tonight. Your seat is on the right hand of the main seat of the pavilion, so I can't accompany you up." After arriving at the venue, Lu Ziting pointed at the pavilion.There was no need for Lu Ziting to explain, when entering the garden, the clerk who arranged the gatekeeper at the Superintendent's Office had already informed the two of them, and Wang Lin went up the stairs and sat in her seat.

The Great Xia State pays attention to etiquette, and tonight there are all the officials of the governor's office and government office on the pavilion, and only Wang Lin is a scholar, so Wang Lin came early to wait, so she must not lose etiquette.

※※※※※※※

After Wang Lin and Lu Ziting left, the little fox was lying bored on the tea table in the pavilion in the back garden, his two big eyes flickering suddenly, wondering what he was thinking about.But in an instant, she suddenly turned her head and looked around.

"You are very leisurely and at ease. Poor sister, I have traveled to dozens of prefectures and counties in the Great Xia Kingdom. If you go back this time, you will be imprisoned for at least three years." At this time, a faint and deserted voice suddenly sounded from the top of the pavilion. .

The little fox jumped up and rushed out of the pavilion in an instant, wanting to escape, but couldn't help but look back, and saw a woman standing on the top of the pavilion. The woman covered her face with a light veil, her blue hair was like a waterfall, and her white clothes were more snowy. She was slender under the starlight. looming.

"Third Sister!" The little fox called out weakly, as if he was extremely afraid of this person, he bowed his head in silence, his eyes rolling around.

"Chi!" The woman flicked her palm, and a whirlwind instantly lifted the little fox into her arms.

At this moment, two dark winds swirled, coming from far and near in an instant, slowly showing his figure, it was the night patrol of the Yinsi Yamen in Fucheng.

"Bold, who dares to cast spells in Fucheng?"

"Hey!" The voices of the two night watchmen fell, and the woman ignored them at all, but flew out with a wooden sign in her hand, and it fell into the hands of one of the night watchmen. When the night watchman saw it, his face suddenly changed Changed, exchanged glances with his companion, and respectfully returned the wooden sign to the woman's hand.

"The gods came to my Jinhua mansion at night. I don't know why, do you want the service of a small envoy?" The two night patrols stepped back a few steps and bowed at the same time, asking in flattering tones.

"No need, my sister is living here, I'll pick her up." The woman said coldly.

"Then we're leaving!" The two bowed their heads and disappeared.

"Little fox of the Lu family!" At this time, the woman looked down at the little fox, saw the collar for an instant, and said coldly, "Bold, how dare you be so rude to a mere mortal."

"Sister, listen to me, if Mr. Lu didn't save my life, I wouldn't be able to see my sister. I beg my sister not to blame him. He is also afraid that I will be in danger." The little fox's expression changed drastically.

"Shut up, what is your identity? If someone wants to take you as a slave if you are collared, you must recognize him as your master. This person's crime should be punished!" The woman said coldly.

"If you want to be so unreasonable, I'll show you!" The little fox jumped into her arms anxiously.

"Forbidden!" The woman yelled softly when she heard the words, and the little fox was imprisoned instantly, unable to even speak.

The woman sniffed at the collar, raised her head slightly and found the source of the smell, her body moved like a phantom galloping towards the laurel garden.

※※※※※※※

"Master Xuezheng, please!" At this time, under the pavilion, an old man in black robe with a goatee bowed and waved to an old man in green shirt.

"Master Bo, please go first. You are here to preside over the literary meeting tonight on behalf of the lord, and you should be the leader. How dare the old man overstep."

Both of them are not wearing official uniforms tonight, but ordinary scholar robes.The three people following him were also wearing scholar robes.

"Then the old man will take the first step!" The old man in black robe showed a knowing and proud smile, and sat on the main seat with his head held high. The first time I greeted Xuezheng, asking him to take care of my relationship, but every time I hit a wall, I didn't give any face.If today's matter is confirmed, he should also change his position as a student, and maybe he has a chance.

Chapter 117 Recitation

The old man in green robe also took the main seat and sat side by side with the old man in black robe.The old man in black cast a cold glance at Wang Lin who stood up and bowed, and faintly revealed a wicked smile.The old man in green shirt never looked at Wang Lin from the beginning to the end.

Of the three people who came along, one sat next to Wang Lin, and the other two sat opposite.As they took their seats, the entire venue fell silent for an instant.Sitting next to Wang Lin is the copywriting officer in charge of recording, with his own pen and ink ready.

"This old man was entrusted by the lord to preside over tonight's debate and appreciation meeting. Since it is a literary meeting, we will only reward essays and essays today, regardless of our official position, so we can speak freely." The black-robed old man turned his head and looked at Wang Lin after speaking. Majesticly said: "You are Wang Lin, a student from Guobei County, the son of the former Xuezheng Wang Xiuyuan."

"Student is right!" Wang Lin bowed neither humble nor overbearing.At this time, the old man in green shirt looked at Wang Lin for the first time, with a little surprise in his eyes.Naturally, I was surprised that Wang Lin was so calm.

The black-robed old man did not expect Wang Lin to be so indifferent, but it was a little unexpected. She was under 20 years old to be reviewed in this important scene. He would be trembling with fear, but immediately he said with a cold face: "Wang Lin, someone reported you cheating in the exam room, what can you say to justify?"

"The students are taking the exam in a dignified way. They can't make excuses, and they don't need to." Wang Lin said indifferently.

"Your test paper, the old man has asked the government to allow you to read it. The meaning of the scriptures is only moderate, and it is considered pertinent. Poems are rare and good. It is really difficult to write such a good poem at your age. This old man is quite skeptical. Can you recite it again and let everyone analyze it. I just don’t know how many sentences you can remember.” The black-robed old man said aggressively and unceremoniously.Given his status, he naturally didn't need to be polite to Wang Lin.

"Students have a good memory!" Wang Lin said neither humble nor overbearing, and then began to recite: "Heaven and earth have righteousness and miscellaneous forms. The bottom is the river and the mountain, and the top is the sun and stars..."

Wang Lin recited slowly, and at the same time added some syllables of reciting Buddhist scriptures in her voice. The voice was slow and powerful, hitting everyone's hearts like rain hitting plantains.

"Third Sister!" At this time, on a tall treetop, a woman in white was standing upright, holding a little fox in her arms, overlooking the Pavilion Wenhui. It seemed that a light mask was faintly flowing around her body, and no one below could see it. she.At this time, she instantly lifted the restraint of the little fox, and the little fox wanted to speak out.

"Calm down, listen carefully!" The woman said with a flick of her palm and lightly patted the little fox in her arms. Although the little fox was anxious, he didn't dare to speak. Listen to Wang Lin recite.

After Wang Lin finished reading, the audience was silent, and then there was a burst of thunderous applause, and the voice of approval was even more overwhelming, and many students buried their heads in recording for fear of missing a word.

"Reciting it from the creator's mouth has a special charm. This son controls the power of the ship gang. If he secretly uses his hands, he may not be able to settle it. Hearing the report from the Japanese patrol, this son said, 'How can we use killing to write eternal things', this sentence It really touched me." In the void, Wen Juan floated under the City God and said softly.

"The sound of Zen is lingering, with profound meaning. This child has such a heart at such an age. If he enters the path of cultivating immortals, his future achievements will be limitless. It's really chaotic and evil people are born. It's hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster!" Chenghuang pondered. .

"You smell like this person!" The woman in white looked at Wang Lin coldly and said.

"Third Sister, he is Mr. Lu's good friend. If he hadn't saved me, my little sister would have been murdered long ago. You can't, otherwise I will hate you forever." The little fox said softly.

"Such an opportunity, I missed it all because of playing around. You have to study hard when you go back this time." The woman said coldly.

"Reading!" The little fox said with a bitter face.

"My lord has studied in Jinhua for many years. He is upright and full of talent. A song of uprightness is unsurpassed in ancient and modern times. It will soon spread to the world. It's just that the love of the young seems to be in the wrong place. It's sad, regrettable, and a pity." The black-robed old man was stunned for a while, He had read it before, and it sounded even more deafening at this time, but then he pondered for a moment and said.

"So, I said, how can such a young man be able to write such good poems? His father has been in charge of the school for many years and is well versed in the rules of the government's exam questions. He must have guessed the exam questions correctly, or someone deliberately leaked the exam questions to him. , his father made the poems in advance and asked him to recite them in advance." A student below seemed to suddenly understand and said loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, many students heard it, and even the old man in green shirt showed surprise. If this was the case, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame, after all, he couldn't bear the crime of ignorance.Immediately I couldn't sit still.The black-robed old man seemed to realize that he had hit the nail on the head, and he smiled knowingly.

"Is that the case? If so, I'm a little disappointed." Wen Juan said softly.

"Let's see how this kid will deal with it?" Chenghuang said with a slight smile.

"Sister, what does that old man mean by saying this? Is he trying to harm the prince?" The little fox asked the woman in white anxiously.

"Stop making noise, and take your time." The woman in white said coldly.

"My lord, this poem was not made by my father!" Wang Lin slowly stood up again without haste.

"Oh, it's you who did such an outstanding masterpiece. If so, you should be the number one talented person in Jinhua Mansion. However, this old man is really unbelievable. How can you prove your innocence?" The black-robed old man laughed. .

"The clean ones clean themselves, the white ones confess, why bother to prove themselves!" Wang Lin still said calmly.But as soon as the words came out, the black-robed old man's expression changed.

"Brother Wen Ruo, what do you think we should do?" the black-robed old man looked at the green-robed old man beside him and asked.

"Master Bo asked you to preside over the literary meeting, Lord Bo probably made a decision long ago, why ask the old man!" Xuezheng said coldly.

"Haha!" The old man in black robe smiled and glanced at the person in the seat next to him.

"My lords, this poem has far-reaching implications, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If it was written by Wang Lin, a child, he must have a great talent in poetry. You might as well ask the adults to write a question, and then test him. If he can write something that is unprecedented and unique If there are poems and songs, we believe that the poems are written by him." The man said.

"Ziyue is worthy of being the master's think tank. He has a quick mind. This is a good way. What do you think, Brother Wen Ruo?" The black-robed old man looked at the green-clothed old man and said.

"I have no objection!" The green-robed old man said coldly.

"Okay, then I will come up with the question, and it will take an incense stick of time to complete it." The black-robed old man said.

"It's ridiculous, how can an ancient and unparalleled poem be made in such a short period of time!" Wen Juan said angrily.

"Sister, each of these villains should be killed!" The little fox also heard some clues, and said ruthlessly.

"Wang Lin, today's situation is what touches you the most. Just write a poem based on your current mood, talk about your expressions, and start the timer now." The black-robed old man said without asking Wang Lin's opinion at all.

Chapter 118 Don't Complain

All of a sudden, the audience whispered to each other, as if they were all waiting to see Wang Lin making a fool of themselves, watching Wang Lin's jokes, as the saying goes, it is impossible for such a young man to make an unprecedented work. What is meant by the past and the present must be a blend of scenes and stunning four, how can he do it.

But Wang Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, she slowly lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then adjusted her clothes in an orderly manner, then slowly got up holding a cup, walked to the edge of the pavilion as if no one else was there, looked at the starry sky and meditated for a moment Open your mouth.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is. I want to go back by the wind, but I'm afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows, so it seems to be in the world."

Wang Lin swelled a little bit of true energy, and joined the syllables of reciting Buddhist scriptures. The voice was low and powerful, like the sound of a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, with a long aftertaste.There was a moment of silence.After reading this, Wang Lin deliberately paused, and took another sip of water facing the starry sky.

"Okay, good. Comparing the exam with the bright moon, it expresses our students' expectations for the exam. Isn't it just for this bright moon exam after studying hard for ten years!" Lu Ziting applauded and laughed, full of admiration.The surrounding students suddenly realized after hearing this, and immediately clapped their hands in praise.

"It's too cold at the heights!" Master Xuezheng always had a sullen face, but at this moment, his face suddenly softened, he couldn't help touching the table and smiled, and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, it should be clear."

"If he hadn't been treated like this, how could he have made such a wonderful sentence in this situation. The article is a matter of ages, and this statement is not false, it is not false!" Wen judge shook his head and shook his head.

"This sentence is very good!" Chenghuang also said lightly.

"Dancing to find out the shadow, it seems to be in the world!" The woman hugging the little fox couldn't help but said in a daze.

"Coax!" For a moment, all the students clapped their hands in admiration and then burst into thunderous applause.And Zhu Bo's face became more and more gloomy.

Wang Lin lightly raised her hand to signal, the audience was silent, everyone knew that he was going to continue the continuation, but such a wonderful article had already been published, how should I continue the continuation, so many students were itchy and unbearable, for fear that if the answer was not good, the article would continue. , It spoils the scenery; and they look forward to a better transfer, icing on the cake, and satisfy the desire deep in their hearts.

"Turn to the Zhu Pavilion, the low-lying household, and sleepless nights. There should be no hatred. What is the long-term relationship? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. "

After reading these, Wang Lin pointed to the half-quarter moon in the air, indicating that the last "Chanjuan" refers to the bright moon.After reading these, Wang Lin looked at the not too bright moon in the sky for a long time, as if missing and thinking.

After Wang Lin finished reading, everyone was still immersed in it, savoring it secretly. This text is really good, and it was misunderstood. At this time, the author has no resentment, only the expectation for Mingyue Exam, and the thoughts and blessings for his family after leaving home for a few days , Combining this situation and this scene is really like old wine, the more you taste it, the more delicious it is, you can't stop it, and the aftertaste is long.

"Okay, good! It's really touching to have a noble character." At this time, an old man in a white robe walked into the arena accompanied by two servants, and he clapped his hands and laughed as if no one else was around.

"Your Majesty!" The green-clothed old man, the black-robed old man, and the other three people on the pavilion quickly got up and bowed in salute. They naturally recognized the person in front of them, but the rest of the students didn't quite recognize them. I know that the person in front of me is the master of Futai, the parent official of Jinhua Mansion.

"No need to be too polite. Tonight is the essay appreciation meeting. The old man is busy with official business. I didn't want to come, but I still came because of the itching. Fortunately, I came. If I don't come, I will really regret it. Such a wonderful sentence is published today. Tonight, it is the blessing of my Jinhua. I am afraid that it will be widely spread in the world in a few days, and I will be famous as a student of Jinhua." Futai said.

"Wang Lin, I don't want to thank you for your praise." The old man in the green shirt said to Wang Lin with a smile on his face.

"Students thank you, Mr. Futai." Wang Lin bowed and saluted.

"Your nephew, you don't need to be too polite. Your father and I have known each other before. He is really lucky. He has such a son. What more can I ask for! This debate and appreciation essay meeting was held very well. Master Xuezheng knows gold with his eyes and selects talents for the country. , I thank you on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of the Jinhua Mansion." The mansion bowed and saluted Xuezheng.

"It's all about the good governance of the adults. My Jinhua Mansion is rich in resources and people, and there are many talents. How dare the old man take credit for it." Facing the parents and officials of the Jinhua Mansion, Xuezheng naturally said humbly and politely.

"Liu Zhubo, after some appreciation and analysis of the debate, I believe you have a good idea. But those young people who deliberately slandered, framed Xuezheng, and framed Wang Lin cannot go unpunished. Being punished, where is the law of my Great Xia, how can you and I be worthy of this official uniform. You volunteered for this matter before, and you will continue to handle the following matters. I hope you will give me a result as soon as possible." The lord of Futai looked at the Lord Thin said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Mr. Fu Jun. The subordinates will check the facts as soon as possible, give you an explanation, and give an explanation to Mr. Xuezheng." Zhu Bo hurriedly said.In fact, of course he knew in his heart that the Futai still gave him a step down, otherwise it would be difficult to end today.However, even so, I'm afraid after this incident, Xuezheng will definitely not let it go. This good show was completely messed up, and I really regret it.
