I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

The land in the extreme north is a vast and boundless sea of ​​sand.There are no oases, no vegetation, not even any signs of life.

The bitter cold wind raged in the sand sea, rolling up large and small pieces of sand, forming a huge sandstorm, which had the potential to destroy the world.But when the sandstorm reached a part of the sand sea, it disappeared strangely.

A huge mountain peak abruptly grows above this sea of ​​sand. This mountain is very tall, even in other places, you can't see such a majestic mountain peak.

The mountain blocked the way of the sandstorm, and a figure suddenly appeared on the mountain.He waved his big sleeve, and a gust of wind blew out from his sleeve, colliding with the sandstorm.The power of the gods collided with the power of nature,

Two winds from opposite directions cancel each other out, and finally disappear into nothingness, leaving only a pile of sand that tells the existence of a sandstorm.

The storm subsided, but the figure on the mountain did not disappear.He raised his head to look at the sky, the dark clouds coiled around the mountains, and the thunder flashed, and strands of purple lightning struck towards the figure.

Who would have thought that the king of the underworld, the god of Mount Tai, Taiyin, the king of the underworld, would move the real Mount Tai to the uninhabited desert in the far north.

The black robe lifted itself without wind, and heavy mountain shadows appeared on the hem of the clothes.Pluto moved suddenly, and he held the thick lightning in his hand, like a giant snake with its head pinched, twisting its body and struggling hard.

"Heaven." Pluto sighed softly, and squeezed his hand hard, and the lightning turned into dots of light and flew out from between his fingers, disappearing.

The lightning paused and shuttled through the black clouds, like a poisonous snake in the darkness, spying on the enemy and looking for opportunities.However, various temptations show that this mountain is not something they can shake, and they can only dissipate unwillingly.

Before Pluto breathed a sigh of relief, an egg wrapped in basalt crystal suddenly exploded under Mount Tai, where it was buried in the sand.This sound pierced from the ground, and even Mount Tai trembled slightly.

The calmness on Pluto's face shattered, "How could it be..."

This basalt egg has been suppressed by him with his real body since it appeared, even though Heaven tried all methods, he never took it away from the mountain.Mount Tai pressed the top, making it still maintain its original appearance, never developed, let alone born.He thought that this egg would not change before he died, but he didn't expect that it would suddenly explode, which was unexpected by Pluto.

The basalt egg shattered, turning into a stream of pure power and rushing out of Mount Tai.Pluto hurriedly wanted to intercept it, but the explosion of the basalt egg was carried out from the inside of Mount Tai. After all, this affected him somewhat, and he was rushed away by that force. He could only watch it fly to the east like an unstoppable force. .

At the same time, it rained heavily in Ning'an County.Dark clouds overwhelm the top, making people feel extra heavy.People hid under the eaves one after another, and the monsters also hid. Thunderstorms always reminded them of thunder disasters, and no monsters would like to recall the feeling of being struck by lightning.

In Qingyue Lane, a barrier rose to envelop the Li family's house.

Blind Li sat on a chair on the porch and listened to the sound of the rain. The cat turned into a prototype, rubbing against its owner's calf in circles amidst the thunder, and finally boldly jumped onto his lap and tangles up into a ball.

Blind Li touched the cat's head and frowned, as if he had encountered some huge problem.

The cat's body froze suddenly, its eyes lost their energy and spirit, like a dull puppet.

He was originally a cihuamao, with black and gray fur, no different from other cihuamao.However, at this moment, it began to shed hair.

Plenty of black and gray fluff fell off, and snow-white fur grew rapidly, turning the cat into a white cat in a short while.

It is not right to say that it is a white cat, because no cat will have the word "King" on its forehead.

The cat's body began to grow slowly, and fortunately the blind Li was not an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold it.

"You want to protect it?" A stag with white antlers suddenly appeared on the porch.

Blind Li's heart sank, "Who is your Excellency, why did you break into my Li's house without authorization?"

The stag turned into a bald man with antlers and walked up to the blind Li, "Don't be nervous, you should have heard of my name. My name is Nine Colored Deer, and I come from outside the pass. I can't leave the oasis at will. It's just me. a doppelganger of

Blind Li stared at him with dark eyes, "Yes, I have indeed heard about your Excellency. I don't know why you didn't invite yourself?"

"Of course it's for the white tiger in your arms."

Blind Li paused, "I don't have white tigers here, only cats."

"In my opinion, the identities of the two do not conflict. The cat is a spirit created by Heavenly Dao to hide the white tiger's real body. As long as this physical body is controlled by Heavenly Dao, the cat will naturally disappear. The artifact Luoshu is indeed powerful. But in your hands, it is like a child holding a sharp weapon, how many layers of power can it exert? You can't protect it."

Blind Li's palms were wet. This person seemed to know all his secrets, but he had nothing about this person.His eyes couldn't see through this person. He couldn't see the past, future, and even the present of this person. Even if he was standing in front of him at this moment, Blind Li could only see a cloud of mist.

This is the first time Blind Li met such a person, the future is nothing, why can't he even see his past.He was used to others not having secrets in front of him, and suddenly a person outside his control came, which made him afraid, and he didn't even know whether this person was an enemy or a friend.

"The eyes of heaven are everywhere. Your barrier can't stop it for too long. It will soon find the white tiger, and then enter this body, the cat will cease to exist. Have you thought about what to do? "Nine-colored deer reminded.

Blind Li didn't think long, "Save him, I'm willing to offer Luo Shu."

"Although Luoshu is good, it's of little use to me."

"Then what do you want?"

Nine-colored Deer smiled, "Your talent is very good, I like it very much, would you like to take me as a teacher? Of course, even if you don't take me as a teacher, I will save the cat. A devastating weapon was born."

"If I don't become a teacher..."

"Then I will take the cat away. With your current ability, it is too dangerous to keep this cat by your side."

Blind Li: "..."

There's no choice at all, okay?

"Disciple pays homage to master." Blind Li pushed the cat away, got up and knelt down towards the dense fog in front of him.

Nine-colored deer is indeed stronger than him, and he is not unwilling to bow this time.There is absolutely no harm in having a master to guide you along the way of cultivation.

"Good apprentice, please get up quickly." Nine-colored Deer bent down and helped the blind Li to his feet.

"Master, that cat..."

"I suddenly felt that your eyes are not bad, and you have a separate space with Luo Shu. It must be safe to seal the cat in it temporarily." Nine-colored Deer changed his words shamelessly.

"seal?"

"It's only temporary. In the chaotic world of the four spirits, the catastrophe has arrived. In less than a few hundred years, the Dao of Heaven has already begun to attack. If we can survive this catastrophe, the seal will naturally be temporary. If we can't, you and I will die Yes, that is eternity."

Blind Li was silent for a moment, then bent down towards the Nine Colored Deer, "I implore Master to seal the cat."

Ji Zihe held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the Wuliu Temple in the city with a complicated mood. Although the rain was pouring heavily, it didn't splash on him at all. Who told him that he was a fairy and could cheat.

Although Meng Zhang was not there, he did not forget what Ji Zihe asked him to inquire about.He asked the Dragon Clan to investigate this matter, and he would tell Ji Zihe as soon as he found out.

Thinking of the news that a Dragon Clan came to tell him just now, Ji Zihe's head was in a mess.He never expected that Huixin was actually his half-brother.

He rushed out of the house regardless of the heavy rain as soon as his forehead was hot, but he regretted it a little after he walked out.He wanted to see Huixin, but what did he say after seeing him?Is it possible to tell him directly that you are my brother.

I'm afraid Huixin will read a few scriptures on the spot to calm his mind.

Don't say whether Huixin believes it or not, even if he believes it, the six roots of monks are pure, even his parents can deny it, let alone his brother.If you want him to call you brother, unless you want him to return to vulgarity.

But he felt that it was more difficult for Huixin to become a monk than Huixin to become a monk. Could it be that the way the two brothers get along in the future will only hurt each other?

Ji Zihe suddenly felt that one head was two big, and he had already reached the gate of Wuliu Temple before he knew it.But he hesitated for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to go in.

Maybe he should go back to Grandpa for an idea.Thinking this way, Ji Zihe turned around decisively and walked back.

After a few steps, I arrived at a teahouse.At the moment, there were many pilgrims sheltering from the rain in the teahouse. Ji Zihe took a casual glance and saw an acquaintance. He walked in without knowing what he thought of.

"Master Chu."

"Chu Yuhua" turned his head, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he quickly stood up and bowed, "My lord."

"Don't be too polite, why are you here?" Ji Zihe asked.

"I heard that the incense in Wuliu Temple is effective. I came to pray for my mother. It rained suddenly, so I had to take shelter here."

"I see. You really are very filial. But now that the government exam is coming, you have to hurry up and get ready to go. If you pass the exam this time, I believe your mother's spirit in heaven will be happy too."

"I'm not...how can I still go for the exam?" "Chu Yuhua" was full of surprise, didn't it mean that Hua'er gave evidence to accuse his father, and couldn't go for the exam because of his lack of virtue? How could it suddenly change?

"It was the official who wrote a letter to the province to express his feelings to the teacher. After the teacher heard about it, he allowed you to continue the exam."

"But I don't intend to continue the exam."

"Why is this? You know, if your father dies, you won't be able to refer to it for three years. Now I've deliberately postponed your father's execution until after autumn. If you get a birth member this year, after the filial piety period, you don't have to start all over again." Take the exam again, but go directly to the exam institute."

Chu Yuhua shook his head, "I've let you down. I don't have any intention of taking the imperial examination. You don't have to worry about me."

Ji Zihe's face darkened, he was really disappointed.Because he couldn't bear the dust of a good talent, he was busy with Chu Yuhua's affairs for a long time, but he didn't care about her, which made him feel like a fool.Forget it, who told him to be sentimental and meddle in his own business? Let's deal with his own affairs first.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother you anymore. Let's leave."

"Go slowly, my lord."

For some reason, Ji Zihe could hear some contempt in Chu Yuhua's tone.Looking at him carefully again, I saw that he had no form, but the character of the literati in the past disappeared without a trace.

Could it be that the matter of his parents had hit him too hard, so he gave up the imperial examination, gave up studying, and started to give up on himself and indulge himself?

Ji Zihe shook his head and left the teahouse, forget it, let it go, don't be too sentimental again.He walks his own path, so it doesn't matter what path he chooses.

"Chu Yuhua" looked at Ji Zihe's leaving back with disgust in his eyes.However, her current target is not him.Thinking about it, "Chu Yuhua" turned his head, and put on the posture of a handsome young man again, looking affectionately at the three women who were talking happily in the corner not far away.
