On the Avenue

The second session of the literary test was still in the original hall. The invigilators were still the same examiners, supervisors, and Bian, with fifteen tables and fifteen futons. The three people taking the exam were still Chen Shi, Gongzi, and Zhang You. The topics of this examination include the theory of the coexistence of civil and military affairs, the theory of grand unification, etc.

Chen Shi chose the Treatise on the Integration of Talismans and Laws, and wrote down his name, surname, and place of origin. The clerk pondered for a moment and then wrote the treatise on his behalf.

Zhang You also chose the topic and handed it to the clerk next to him. He looked at Chen Shi and the young master in front of him, and said with a smile: "Have you heard about it? A big event happened in the inner city of Xijing last night. Even my uncle They were all alarmed and went to Qianyang Street in person. "The young master was slightly shaken and sat there motionless.

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, Qianyang Street? It seems that the street in front of Chen Mansion is Qianyang Street. "What happened last night?" he asked.

Zhang You said with a smile: "Some people heard foxes barking and sheep bleating on the street. There were also light explosions in the city, which lit up Xijing in an instant. It was amazing. I also heard some loud noises during the morning session. The official was ill and did not come to court, so there were many rumors." The young master said calmly, "What rumors?"

Zhang You smiled and said: "I heard that someone was fighting in the inner city last night, trying to do something big, but unfortunately his skills were not as good as others. I also heard that someone was very insidious and had been hiding his strength until last night and scared many people. A jump." The corners of the young master's eyes trembled.

Zhang You is the core child of the Zhang family. He has tried to win over this person many times, but strangely enough, Zhang You has always been close to him. Although he is polite, he has never treated him like other children of the family. Too loyal. What Zhang You said, he woke up after practicing all night and heard what was said inside Fu Zheng Pavilion.

"I don't know what Fu Zheng Pavilion did last night."

The young master suddenly said, "If I knew about this, I would definitely stop them. In this examination, I will gain fame based on my ability, and there is no need to use such cheap means." There was a hint of anger in his voice, and he It was as if he was explaining to Chen Shi.

His men had no confidence in him, so he took it upon himself to attack the Chen Mansion at night, and was defeated again. Even the lieutenant Fan Peng died in the Chen Mansion. What he did that night, with loud thunder and light rain, was laughed at by everyone, and made him laugh. I feel ashamed too. Chen Shi glanced at him. He knew nothing about what the young master and Zhang You said. When he woke up in the morning, his house was clean and the streets were clean, no different from the past.

He looked at the clerk in front of him who was busy writing, and asked loudly: "Examiner, can I write this topic by myself?" The examiners' faces darkened: "No noise!"

Chen Shi was angry.

His purpose in choosing the theory of unity of symbols and laws was to create some difficulties for the minor officials.

He has studied the most about talismans and spells, and his family background means his starting point is higher than others. Moreover, it is very difficult for others to integrate talisman and magic. If you want to make achievements in this, in addition to having talent, it will also take decades of hard work. He wanted Xiao Geng to give up and write by himself, otherwise what fun would there be in this essay test?

However, the clerk in front of him seemed to be very confident in his own achievements. He wrote like a god, and the wind was strong, and he quickly finished writing the paper and pressed it under the paperweight to dry.

Chen Shi read word for word, sentence by sentence, and couldn't help but be moved. He raised his head and glanced at the ghostwriter. He saw that this clerk was only in his thirties, probably under forty. The clothes he was wearing were not official uniforms, but official uniforms. He should be the junior official in the Ministry of Rites responsible for catching pens. "Brother, you are very accomplished in the integration of talismans and magic! You have basically mastered talismans and magic, and you can be called a master!"

Chen Shi couldn't help but said, "I have met many talisman masters, but few can surpass you in the attainments of talismans. Why do you only work as a pen-catching clerk in the Ministry of Rites?" The clerk looked sad and whispered. Said: "A humble job means a bad background."

Chen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "What is your cultivation level?"

The clerk raised his head and glanced at the examiner quietly, then lowered his voice and said: "The humble position is already in the realm of refining the void, and it is difficult to make any progress."

Chen Shi remembered the words of Tian Yue'e and others, and said: "The Void Refining Realm is already the limit of what you can achieve. If you go higher, you will need to be promoted by nobles. However, with your attainments in talisman, you have already achieved the transformation of talismans. Born from the heart, the next step is for the law to be born from the heart. If you have reached this point, you no longer need anyone to promote you. How many people in Xijing can do this? "

He was filled with emotions.

It is really a great irony that such a master among talisman masters can only be a pen-picking clerk in the Ministry of Rites, specially designed to allow powerful people like him to cheat. The pen-picking clerk didn't dare to speak.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "However, you still have a few mistakes." Zhuobi Xiaogeng raised his head in surprise and stared at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Your understanding of the integration of talismans and magic focuses on the direction of magic, which is more like magic. And mastering the talisman allows you to understand the corresponding exercises. You are lacking in this aspect. You are in this thesis topic There is a flaw in the understanding of the law.”

He pointed to a handwriting and said: "You said that the magic of talismans comes from nature. The magic in it, you mean the magic, not the power. You are seeking magic with the talismans, not the law." The official turned his head and looked at it, thinking carefully, and found that his argument was indeed deficient. He couldn't help but be moved, and he leaned forward and said, "Can I ask for advice?"

Chen Shi has also learned about the principles of the realm of ghosts and gods from the talismans as created by Xiaowu these days. Although he has not gained much, he still understands the skills from the talismans. Even if he talks about what he has gained during this period, Listen to him. "I have been studying the Taishang Bagua Body Protection Ribbon these past few days, using it to reverse the spells, and then use the spells to reversely deduce the Eight Trigrams Body Protection Techniques. I have achieved some success."

Chen Shi raised his right hand, and his Qi and blood moved, and various bright hexagrams appeared all around. Soon the eight trigrams became three-dimensional, and the various signs changed unpredictably, and evolved into heaven and earth signs such as wind, fire, thunder, and Zee. Chen Shi held a hexagram in his right hand, and the eight surrounding hexagrams all turned into Gen hexagrams, saying: "This is the technique."

Zhuibi Xiaogeng nodded gently.

Chen Shi's Seal Jue changed, and he quickly cast the eight basic spells of the Bagua Bodyguard, and said: "From the talisman to the law, I can now be called a master. From the Bagua to the sixty-four hexagrams, I used myself as a furnace to evolve into the sixty-four." The hexagram changes include thousands of changes, which can be called a master."

On a whim, he stood up and practiced and explained in the examination room, deducing the eight trigrams into sixty-four hexagrams.

Zhuobi Xiaogeng nodded repeatedly.

The integration of talisman and law discussed in his thesis has been deduced to this point! Zhang You and Young Master also turned sideways and looked this way.

The examiners who invigilated the exam surprisingly did not stop Chen Shi. They were obviously attracted by Chen Shi's theory of the unity of symbols and law.

At this time, Chen Shi used himself as a furnace, and the qi and blood in his body changed according to the hexagrams. He used his body as heaven and earth to deduce and demonstrate the natural cultivation process bit by bit! "The sky and the earth are all my signs, and my body is the Bagua Furnace. I can use it to refine elixirs, cultivate Yuan Ying, transform Yuanshen, fuse three corpses together, and refine gods to return to the void. It's all a matter of course!"

Chen Shi stopped his momentum, and the various hexagrams around his body were constantly changing. He put them into the Bagua furnace in his body, practiced in the furnace, and said, "I think this is the hidden skill in the Taishang Bagua protective urn!" The little official was stunned. He stood up in excitement and said repeatedly: "It's true! It turns out that this is the unity of talismans and magic!"

He was so excited that he bowed to Chen Shi to the ground. Suddenly he felt that it was not solemn enough, so he hurriedly bowed and kowtowed: "Student has been taught!" He originally thought that Chen Shi was just like the others, just a dandy from a noble family, so he needed himself Take the exam on your behalf.

Unexpectedly, his attainments in talismans were much higher than his!

Chen Shi helped him stand up, but Xiao Geng was still so excited that he couldn't control himself and said, "I thought I had perfected my talisman skills, but I didn't expect to be taught by a noble person!" Zhang You and the young master each raised their eyebrows but said nothing.

If it had been in the past, when they heard this kind of thing, they would have thought that the pen-picking clerk was bribed by Chen Shi to build momentum for himself and win people's hearts. Because both Zhang You and Young Master have done this kind of thing. Especially Young Master, he used it extremely skillfully.

But this time they saw it with their own eyes.

Chen Shi indeed used his talents to impress the extremely skilled pen-picking clerk in front of him. Moreover, he deduced the skills from the talismans and demonstrated them in full in front of them! This kind of talent made both of them feel a little heavy in their hearts.

It was only half an hour before the exam started.

Suddenly, the little official's body shook slightly, and the three-foot-tall Yuanshen emerged involuntarily. There were streaks of auspicious energy and rays of light in his body, connecting with the Yuanshen. His soul merged with his physical body, and in an instant his physical body grew to a height of three feet. He had to lower his head in the hall to avoid hitting the roof.

The clerk was stunned, quickly dispersed and kowtowed to Chen Shi: "Student Cheng Qi, thank you teacher for your guidance!"

When Chen Shi explained the Eight Diagrams Body Protection Technique, he was enlightened and he understood the method of refining the void and combining the body, so he actually broke through to the state of combining in the examination room!

He originally thought that there was no hope of advancing to the next level in this life, but he did not expect that this time he would take the exam for someone else, and he would have such an adventure, so he no longer called Chen Shi a nobleman, but a mentor. Chen Shi highly praised his knowledge and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, there is no need to be polite. Your knowledge is extremely high and I admire you very much."

The young master frowned slightly, looked at the answer sheet in front of him, and met the expectant eyes of Xiao Geng, who was taking the exam for him.

His expression did not change.

He chose the theory of grand unification, and his writing was very good. He could not find faults or give any advice. With a smile on his face, Zhang You ignored the expectant gaze of his pen-picking Xiao Geng and did not try to give any advice.

He was self-aware that he was not good enough, and forcing him to give advice was just a show of humiliation. He thought to himself: "Sure enough, the decision to ask someone to take the exam on his behalf is extremely wise. Asking someone to take the exam on his behalf restricted Chen Shi's performance, so that he could only get full marks, and he would not be able to do so. As for making us look foolish." An hour passed and the examiner came to collect the papers.

Although Chen Shi could not write the essay himself, he was extremely satisfied.

Instructing a junior official who had been stuck for a long time, allowing him to understand the secrets of talismans and successfully break through his inherent realm. For him, it was easy, but for Cheng Qi, it changed his life and destiny!

Chen Shi walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites. Chen Tang, Granny Sha and others came forward and were about to ask him how he did in the exam. At this time, they saw an official from the Ministry of Rites quickly came to Chen Shi and paid homage: "Student Cheng Qi, thank you sir. From now on, if you have any instructions, sir, no matter what, Cheng Qiwan will not give up!"

Chen Shi quickly helped him and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, you have already thanked me in the examination room. Why do you need to say thank you again? Get up quickly." Cheng Qi stood up and said seriously: "I just thanked you for your guidance in the examination room. This time Thank you for helping me achieve a breakthrough!"

Chen Tang was extremely shocked when he saw Cheng Qi, a junior official in the Ministry of Etiquette, treating Chen Shi with the utmost respect and the courtesy of a student! What a weird thing!

However, this junior official from the Ministry of Etiquette is too advanced and is actually a master of the Fusion Realm!

There are many petty officials without official positions in Xijing, such as the crucian carp crossing the river. For example, there are many officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs who are only minor officials from the ninth rank to the ninth rank, which is the cultivation level of the Void Realm. But it’s too outrageous that he is still a small official without an official position in the Fusion Realm!

At this time, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites passed by and said expressionlessly: "Cheng Qi, you disrupted the law and discipline during the examination and have been dismissed by the Ministry of Rites. Come to the Yamen in the afternoon and pack your things!" Cheng Qi looked pale and a little panicked. , I just feel like the world is spinning.

The left minister of the Ministry of Rites has left.

Cheng Qi stabilized his body and lost his mind. He had served in Beijing for more than ten years. His family and fellow villagers all knew that he was an official in Xijing. Although it was unclear how big an official he would be, being an official in Xijing must be no small matter. When family members mention him, they feel honored. If I am dismissed this time, my pride will be gone when I return.

And what can he do after returning?

Go back and bully men and women and become a local tyrant? He will definitely offend the local dignitaries, be regarded as a rebel and be sent to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and become the leader of the banner. Go back to teaching and become a private tutor? Others must be pointing fingers behind his back, saying that he committed a crime in Xijing and ended up in the countryside.

Go back and become a Talisman Master? It's quite possible to make a living.

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, there is no limit to the road ahead. It is better to go to Hongshan Hall and be a teacher, incense master, or something like that. The monthly salary will be more than what you get at the Rites Yamen. I am also in Hongshan Hall. I want to be a teacher. These are all guests." He was talking about Grandma Sha, Qingyang and others.

Eunuch Feng Tianhuan sat in a wheelchair and said with a smile: "You can also go to my Dongchang to be a eunuch. If you don't mind, Cheng Xiaoyou can call our family a foster father." Cheng Qi frowned and decided to join Hongshan Hall.

Eunuch Feng was very sorry and said: "We in Dongchang need talents like you. It's great to be an eunuch. It can relieve thousands of worries." At this time, Zhang You walked out of the Rites Yamen. When he saw Eunuch Feng, he hurriedly came up. See you in front of you.

Eunuch Feng looked him up and down in surprise, and said repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! Are you okay, your father?" "My father is in good health and has been thinking about Uncle Feng's legs," Zhang You said.

They chatted for a while, then Zhang You said goodbye and left.

Eunuch Feng watched him go away and said to everyone: "Another Qilin son came out of the Zhang family. This Zhang You is from the lineage of the Zhang family's sect master and was trained as the next generation sect master. If Mr. Xiao Chen meets him in the martial arts examination, You must be careful. Your father also had a close encounter with such a person."

Chen Shi was extremely surprised. He looked at Chen Tang and whispered: "Chen Tang, which clan leader of the Thirteenth Family did you fight against?"

Before Chen Tang could answer, Eunuch Feng smiled and said: "The current head of the Yan family, Yan Hanqing. I'm afraid Old Yan is already in the Mahayana realm, right? Even if he is not Mahayana, he is not far away. If we fight again, Chen Tang, can you Is it a sure win?" Chen Tang shook his head and said humbly: "How dare you win? A draw at most."

Chen Shi whispered: "Chen Tang, when you and Yan Hanqing dueled, were you in the same realm, or was he a lower realm than you?" "In the same realm." Chen Tang said.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "It's okay then."

Chen Tang's face darkened and he scolded: "Why is it okay? The difference in realm is also a gap!"

Chen Shi smiled and said: "Isn't it enough to level the realm? I must get the first place in this competition!"
