Chapter 0131: The Wordless Book of Heaven
In the afternoon, the ship braved the rain and arrived at a safe anchorage at the dock.
Shuangliu Town is a commercial and trade hub, built around Yunchi and covering an area of ten miles. The streets and alleys are brightly lit under the rain curtain, and people flow in the rain. Various oil umbrellas and lanterns shine, forming a bustling ancient painting.
Twenty mile embankment, warehouses, inns, restaurants, brothels, casinos... Such services are densely packed like bamboo shoots after rain, occupying most of the golden area around Yunchi.
Due to the bustling atmosphere, I had intended to stay on the shore. However, after asking each family, and when the last inn was fully booked, Ye Qing also stayed there - this is a specialized service town. He had passed by twice in his past life, but he had never encountered this situation.
The shopkeeper saw that Ye Qing's appearance was impressive, and the women were all extremely beautiful. Knowing that she was a respected scholar, he smiled apologetically and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. We really don't have any extra rooms this time. There are too many scholars rushing to the capital for exams
Ye Qing keenly grasped the keyword and his gaze flickered: "More? How much more than the previous session
Look at me, it's almost twice as much. The news circulating among peers is also like this. This town is a must pass place in half of the world, with a lot of people, but there weren't so many successful candidates in the previous session. It's really unprecedented... Hey, sir, take it easy and welcome to come again next time
Ye Qing dropped a piece of broken silver and walked in the wind and rain without listening or using an umbrella.
The sound of water, the coquettish laughter of brothels, the drunken chatter of taverns, the clamor of casinos... all filtered through my mind. I don't know when an umbrella was covering me, but I heard Jiang Zinan's cautious voice: "Young master, perhaps just gathering in groups to avoid the rain, it may not be twice as many. The imperial examination will have a big and small year difference, with thousands of people around. How can it suddenly decrease or increase in times of peace
The problem is, it's not the time of peace now... "Ye Qing smiled bitterly and had already come to her senses.
The signs of lunar eclipse and calamity are beginning to appear, but I still underestimated the heroes of the world. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, but how many smart people are there?
Everyone should seize the opportunity to take the exam in order to deal with the ominous situation.
Jiang Zinan fell silent. After a moment, Ye Qing looked back and saw her holding an umbrella and Zhou Ling pressing her sword. As she tried to cover herself up, both women got wet and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Come closer, don't get caught in the rain... Yes, in this way, Zinan, don't worry. Has your young master ever faced difficulties head-on
To go to the imperial capital, no matter how many opponents come, this Jinshi is determined to win, unless he steps on my corpse to go there
Young master, don't say anything unlucky
Hey, I thought you guys would be moved? Lingling, you're not helping your young master either
Lucky people have their own blessings. Sister Zinan is right, young master must not deny it
Two little superstitions... Uh, okay, I'll listen to you guys
In the rain, a small oil umbrella turned towards the dock. The hotel didn't have it, so I returned to the merchant boat. Actually, it was more comfortable on the merchant boat.
Passing by a small Taoist temple, the two women's eyes lit up as soon as they saw it. They pulled Ye Qing in and said they wanted to pay their respects to dispel the bad luck they had just experienced.
Ye Qing was speechless. Seeing that both women were wet, she touched Yu Ruyi in her arms and said, "Hmm, there's still some distance to go back to the ship. Let's go dry it first
The two women were taken aback for a moment, looking at each other's bodies half wet and both blushing.
Upon entering this temple, an oil lamp lit silently, and it could be seen that the incense was not very strong, not even a guardian, which did not match the prosperity of Shuangliu Town.
Ye Qing recognized this Taoist temple and did not worship the Three Lords and Five Emperors. Instead, she took a small amount of jade Ruyi from the two daughters and instantly evaporated the water vapor.
Then, watching them offering incense at the altar and bowing with radiance.
Although I didn't think much of it, knowing that both women were doing it for him, my heart still warmed. I took out five taels of silver and put it on the case.
Leaving the door, at this moment, Ye Qing inexplicably turned her head and touched her arms. Just now, the Chuanlin Notes shook and then calmed down. She was puzzled and carried the two women up the embankment, trying not to let them get wet. With the lights of various brothels and taverns, she walked around the lake and disappeared into the dark rain curtain.
Taoist Temple · Back House
The light was dim, with only an oil lamp on the table emitting a faint green glow.
A Taoist lay on his back in bed, covered in sweat, with a fierce expression full of pain and struggle, until almost dawn when his spiritual light dimmed and he let out a scream of agony.
After a moment, the Taoist stood up and tidied up his Taoist robe.
Strangely enough, despite wearing the same Taoist attire and having the same appearance, with only slight changes in expression and deep eyes, one appears to have a fairy like demeanor.
In a moment, at the beginning of the sunrise, the purple energy filled the air. This person left the temple, on the lakeside embankment, under the weeping willows, absorbing the purple energy as usual, and returning to the Taoist temple to close their eyes and recuperate, completing their daily practice.
Next, let's see if there are any unlocking methods available, such as the Purple Mansion Heavenly Book. "The Taoist smiled eagerly, made a move, and suddenly changed his expression, exclaiming," Where is my wordless Heavenly Book
I can't believe I touched it a few times. There's really nothing else, only a few old Taoist scriptures in my arms.
How is this possible
The wordless heavenly book is a great spiritual treasure, used to record all things in this world. Although I am not the original owner, it was specially given to me by the sect when I came, and it is connected to my heart and mind. How could it be lost
The Taoist calmed down, his eyes flickered, and he sneered for a moment, "I really want to see who it is. Dare to take advantage of the deception and seize it? The Great Dao Spirit Treasure is easy to obtain
He sneered and repeatedly cast spells, but couldn't calculate or recall them, causing a cold sweat on the Taoist's forehead.
After changing several summoning methods in a row, they all failed completely. The Taoist realized something and showed a black aura on his face: "I haven't died yet, so I have recognized the new master? How is this possible
After a long time, the raging anger calmed down, knowing that it was of no use.
Reopening the gate, squinting my eyes, I looked at the sky covered in thick clouds. A lightning bolt illuminated the Taoist temple, followed by a deafening explosion that shook the old temple, causing dust to fall and darkness to follow.
Only heavy rain poured down, whistling and dancing branches, making heart stopping sounds
The Taoist's expression was ambiguous, and he suddenly sneered, "This Heavenly Dao is really mysterious. I have a wordless Heavenly Book to block and a palm teacher to cast spells, just to avoid surveillance. I had already succeeded, but I don't know what means I used. This Heavenly Dao can even automatically calculate and take away my wordless Heavenly Book
However, so what? The sun and moon have no light, this is a cunning plan. I forgive you for not being able to solve it! "Thinking to himself, the Taoist's face darkened again and he gritted his teeth in hatred," You new master, don't let me, the old master, meet you
A dark road was crossed by several riders, and a gust of wind wrapped around a branch and struck one rider fiercely like a whip. The rider unleashed a powerful blow, restrained the horse, and let out a sigh of relief.
Is this the Zhao Wang Temple
Yu Fan held the reins and walked slowly, looking at it with a slightly confused expression. It was a small hill, very gentle.
Tie the reins of the horses, enter the mountain gate, and look up. The first steps are all steps, and hundreds of steps lead to the main hall courtyard above. ornamental column trees are planted on the two sides, and their crowns are not very high.
As he reached the top, Yu Fan looked up and saw the door tightly closed. He looked at the main hall and suddenly felt a sense of terror, a wave of palpitations, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.
Young master, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry? You haven't eaten for most of the day
I'm a little hungry, "Yu Fan felt empty in her stomach and dizzy. Seeing that she was about to knock on the door, she said," Slow down
As he said this, he stood under the eaves platform. It was not raining. Just thinking, the servant brought dry food. This was Youbing (Deep-fried round and flat dough-cake) wrapped in oil paper, half fried chicken, and some water.
Yu Fan remained silent and looked down with a daze. A gust of wind blew in, wrapped in wet rain and mist, slanting in. Yu Fan trembled all over and looked at the pitch black sky. He gritted his teeth and said, "You flip over, open the door, and we'll go inside to pay our respects to King Zhao
Upon hearing this, someone suddenly flipped over and opened the door inside.
The group entered, while the others bowed solemnly towards the center of the hall.
Yu Fan personally went in and entered the main hall. He saw that the ever burning lamp in front of the hall was still on, illuminating a statue dressed in royal attire. As he did not show much respect when he entered, he felt that there was a hint of solemnity in the palace. He lit incense, inserted his hands into the furnace, and then knelt down to worship.
After the three bows, Yu Fan's mood calmed down and he spoke in a gentle tone, "Since ancient times, there has been no country that has ever been destroyed. Emperor Le Suzong left early, leaving only the three-year-old Crown Prince. As the third brother of the emperor, the Great King was a deterrent to the ruling king, but he was loyal to the monarch, devoted himself to the affairs of the king, and worked hard for fifteen years. He revived the Great Le Dynasty, at least restoring a hundred years of vitality, and made contributions to the country. Although he was later executed by the emperor for plotting rebellion, he was restored to the title of King Zhao and enjoyed it in the Temple of Heaven twenty-three years later
In the future, the virtue of virtue can be passed down through the ages, so the imperial courts of all dynasties have added seals and sacrifices, and cigarettes and blood have never ceased to be consumed. Since I was young, I have had admiration for the king, and I did not dare to touch any trees or plants in the temple. However, the lunar eclipse has already appeared, and there may be a disaster in the court. Fan has been determined to serve the court since childhood, and dare not violate this wish. He had no choice but to cut down a tree outside the king's temple
In the future, if the sail is successful, it will be worshipped with a great ceremony. I hope the king can forgive me. "After saying this, he deeply bowed and turned back, leaving the hall and descending the steps to the temple.
Several warriors followed closely to the side, step by step descending. Yu Fan looked around and saw vast mountains in the distance, green farmland nearby, and remained silent. In the middle, a pearl shone brightly in his sleeve.
Yu Fan did not hesitate any longer. He drew out his sword with a loud "bang". The sword was bright and it was a blessing of Taoism. The light of the sword flashed, and a nearby ornamental column tree suddenly broke, only to hear a scream and blood splashing.
The fallen half branch transformed into a half human form, screaming in agony and pointing at Yu Fan. Without hesitation, Yu Fan said, "Stop
I saw a green aura filling the air, which withdrew and entered through Yu Fan's nostrils.
Why? "The humanoid hissed and asked.
A man is innocent, but he bears the blame. "Yu Fan said with some melancholy, looking back at the Zhaowang Temple and feeling a wave of palpitations, but without any remorse.
Yu Fan knew that he could have obtained this opportunity safely and without any future troubles according to his uncle's plan, but now the plan has been disrupted, his uncle has passed away early, and he has also had a bad relationship with his family. Although he has not completely cut off his fortune supply, it is still insufficient. This can be said to be urgent!
Only in this way can one become a jinshi, and then the sea and sky will be vast, and no one can stop them.
Thinking of this, I woke up, but upon seeing that this figure had dispersed and turned into a half branch again, I felt a chill in my heart and stepped down, my steps trembling.
