I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

By the time school was over, the sky had cleared, the dark clouds had cleared, and the sun was hanging slantingly in the west, reflecting the red glow of half the sky.

After the rain, the air carried the fragrance of soil. A heavy rain washed away the world, and the scenery in my eyes became much clearer.

It's just beautiful, but there are also annoying places.The ground was full of puddles, muddy and difficult to walk on.As a last resort, Ji Zihe took off his shoes and carried them with his hands, folded up his trouser legs, and walked home barefoot with an umbrella under his arms.

"Well, the scenery after the rain is really nice." Bones floated out of the relic slowly and stretched.

"Bone, you finally woke up. Yesterday I saw that you vomited blood, are you okay?" Ji Zihe said pleasantly.

"You're so worried about me. I just got a little injury. If anything happens, I'll recover after a while."

"It's good that you're fine, what happened to you yesterday?"

"Someone broke the formation I set up. I'm sorry, Xiao Hezi. That dried lotus flower may be in danger."

"what!"

One person and one ghost came to the valley again. After a night of heavy rain, the water level in the valley rose a lot.

"Any clues?" Ji Zihe asked as he looked at the bones emerging from the river.

Bone shook his head, "This rain is so untimely, there are no traces left, and everything has been washed away."

Ji Zihe lowered his head in disappointment, his heart full of self-blame, "Bone, do you think I am selfish and useless?"

If he hadn't been afraid of being discovered by others, he wouldn't have sent her here, causing her whereabouts to be unknown.

"It's not your fault, I know you just want to help her." Bone patted his head, "Everything has a cause and effect, and since she is doomed, you can't protect her."

"But the fact is that I harmed her, she may have..."

"If it weren't for you, she might have died a long time ago. You have nothing to blame. Besides, I think this wild lotus monster is very lucky. He was enlightened by an eminent monk from the very beginning. What dangers did he encounter after practicing for hundreds of years? She can always turn bad luck into good fortune, this time she will be fine." Bone vowed.

"Really?" Ji Zihe's eyes lit up with hope again.

Bones was a little guilty, but he still had a confident look on his face, "Of course it's true. I've been her neighbor for 500 years, so it can be fake. I think it must be the eminent monk who turned her into a demon." Your soul is protecting her, so don't worry."

Ji Zihe nodded, clasped his hands together and looked at the river, "I beg the eminent monk to keep the third sister safe."

Bones heaved a sigh of relief, the kid was just a little too honest, he believed everything he said.

However, the bones are not deceiving. The third lady of the lotus is really lucky. Not any lotus flower enshrined can be lucky enough to be turned into a demon, and not any demon can have the opportunity to help a good person for many generations. She was able to turn bad luck into good luck, and she didn't know if there was really an eminent monk protecting her.For those cultivating immortals, luck is also a kind of strength, sometimes even more important than strength, maybe she is really fine.

When Ji Zihe and the others returned home, the little monk Huixin had already left.

Hui Xin came here for Ji Zihe, but it was impossible for Ji Zihe to go with him in this situation.Ji Zihe's six roots are impure, and his nostalgia for the world is too deep, even if he is forcibly brought into Buddhism, he will not be able to practice well.There is an old saying that a twisted melon is not sweet.Buddhism pays attention to fate, since he has not taken away his hope at this time, probably the fate between Ji Zihe and his Buddhism has not yet arrived.

Originally, Huixin planned to take Ji Zihe away, take him as a disciple, take him to roam around the country to practice hard, discuss Buddhism with eminent monks everywhere, and experience all kinds of worldly situations, so that he can realize enlightenment as soon as possible.Now, for the time being, he can only complete this practice by himself.

Because of guilt, Ji Zihe originally wanted to secretly make a long-lived enshrinement for the third lady of the lotus flower, but Bones stopped him.Ji Zihe is a person with great merit, so it doesn't matter if he makes an offering. If God thinks that the third lady of the lotus flower doesn't have the capital to accept her offering, it will hurt her.

Ji Zihe dismissed this idea immediately, and worried again, "Then can I worship my parents and ancestors?"

"Of course that's fine, isn't it a matter of course to pay homage to one's own parents," Bones said.

Only then did Ji Zihe put incense sticks on his parents with peace of mind, and by the way, ask their spirits in heaven to bless and protect the third lady of the lotus flower.

Wang Lao Er has always wanted to find trouble with the witch, but the old witch is talking all day long, and it seems that she really has some skills, Wang Lao Er dare not act rashly.

Wang Lao Er has been wandering around the old witch's house recently, and found a strange phenomenon. Why does the old witch ask her son to go to the town to buy chickens for her every day? Can he eat up so many chickens?If there is a problem, there must be a problem.

In the middle of the night, Wang Laoer climbed into the courtyard wall of the witch's mother-in-law's house, saw a brightly lit room, and sneaked past the wall.He pierced the paper on the window with his hand, and saw that there was no one in the room, only a red fox was dozing off on the futon under the altar table in the room, and he immediately became very angry.

Well, it turned out that the fox fairy summoned by the old witch was actually a fox raised by her, so he said, where did the fox fairy come from, the old witch must be deceiving people.Wait until he catches the fox and confronts the old witch to see what she has to say!

Wang Laoer gently pushed open the door and closed the door, intending to catch a turtle in an urn to see where the fox escaped.As soon as I turned around, I was surprised, why is there no fox on the futon?

Wang Lao Er walked a few steps into the house, looking around, trying to find out where the fox was hiding.

"What are you looking for, son?"

Two slender and white arms gently encircled Wang Laoer's neck, and the beautiful woman's head was resting on his shoulders. As he spoke, it seemed that hot air was blowing towards his cheeks.

Wang Lao Er was so frightened that he hurriedly broke free from the woman's embrace, turned around and saw the person behind him clearly, his eyes straightened immediately, and two tubes of blood flowed out of his nose indisputably.

The woman is as beautiful as a fairy, her face is like peach blossoms, her skin is like creamy fat, her body is only covered with tulle, and her graceful body is faintly visible under the light, constantly attracting Wang Laoer's eyes.

The woman seemed to be very satisfied with Wang's second child's reaction, her eyes rolled gently, "Am I beautiful?"

"Beautiful, beautiful." Wang Er Er nodded madly.

"Then what are you waiting for?" The woman chuckled lightly and hooked her fingers towards him.Wang Laoer seemed to be in a daze, and couldn't wait to rush towards the woman...

The next day, the villagers found Wang Lao Er unconscious in the farmland outside the village, and called someone to take him back home.

Wang Laoer lay on the bed for more than ten days, and his family invited several doctors to rescue him.After waking up, Wang Er Er became a fool, he kept saying something about Sister Hu Fairy, so stupid that he didn't even recognize his wife.

The villagers are all rumoring that Wang Laoer met a monster and was sucked dry by the monster, otherwise how could he be like this.For a while, everyone in the whole village was in danger, and the women wanted to hold the men in their ears and tell them to cleanse themselves and not to pick wild flowers on the roadside, otherwise Wang's son's fate would be theirs.

Fortunately, no second person was killed, which made people feel relieved.But another thing happened, Wang's second daughter-in-law ran away, and she didn't know if she couldn't stand the pointing and pointing from the villagers, or because she couldn't stand her husband who was arguing to find the fox fairy every day.

Wang's second brother heard about this and rushed back, wanting to take his old mother away, regardless of this shameful brother.But his old mother still couldn't let go of Wang's son, Erlang has become a fool, how can Erlang survive if he leaves.Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Wang Laoer's old mother finally stayed.

The above are all gossips that Ji Zihe heard from Gu Gu. He usually runs between his home and private school, and he doesn’t have enough time to study. How can he have the time to gossip? Lost.

Speaking of this, Ji Zihe knew for the first time that fame can really make money.Although he only passed the exam as a scholar, a rich man asked him to preside over his wedding, and said that the red envelope was huge.

This was the first time someone invited him to preside over a wedding. Before, no one even invited him to a banquet. Of course, no one invited him because they invited his grandfather.

The rich man asked Ji Zihe to preside over the wedding because Ji Zihe is now a scholar, and with fame, his seniority will be higher.And he is not very old, maybe he can become a high-ranking official in the future, and if he tells about the wedding that Mr. XX official hosted for my son, it will not be too embarrassing.

Although the red envelope is good, it is still important to learn.Although Ji Zihe was very moved, he still held his chest and painfully refused.No matter how big the red envelope is, it can't buy time. Next year, the township examination will be held, so he has to study harder.If you want to preside over a wedding, you won't be able to just read a few words and get it done. You also need to socialize and socialize, which may take several days.

Ji Zihe comforted himself that when he was admitted to Juren, more people would invite him to officiate the wedding, and there would be bigger and more red envelopes.Abandoning a big tree, but there will be more big trees waiting for him in the future, he has no regrets, he really has no regrets at all...

No wonder!

His pocket is cleaner than his face now, most of his wife's money was wasted on Taoxi Mo who bribed the scumbag He Zixiao, and the rest was also used to invite Feng Shui Mr. for the third lady of the lotus flower.With no money in his pocket and no confidence in his heart, how can a man not have a penny of his wife in his pocket!

Helpless, Ji Zihe could only turn his grief and anger into strength and study even more frantically.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and it's already the second year in a blink of an eye.A year of hard work was not wasted. One month before the start of the autumn, Mr. Liu finally nodded when he looked at his test paper. He could go to the provincial test with his big cousin.

The children's examination is taken in the county, but the township examination is taken in the province, and the distance is far away, so they have to leave early.

However, Ning Caichen is now a member of the horse family, so it is much more convenient to travel.Ning Caichen harnessed the horse to the cart, came to pick up Ji Zihe and set off.

Originally, Ji Zihe didn't plan to take Huang Jiulang with him. He felt that his grandfather, an old man, must need more care than he did.But his grandfather insisted, so Ji Zihe had no choice but to compromise.

Ji Zihe thought for a while, and secretly put the sword bag that Yan Chixia gave him under Old Man Ji's bed, and then set out on the road with peace of mind, but he didn't know...

Old man Ji smelled the stench in the room, and found a broken skin bag from under the bed, and opened it.Heh, who is this melon who doesn't pay attention to hygiene, throws garbage around, and evil spirits are born in the bag!

Old man Ji was not willing to throw it away, so he took the sword bag to the river, washed it clean, hung it on the rope for a few days, and packed it into an ordinary old leather bag. He is worthy of being a good grandfather who is diligent and thrifty.
