The world is in chaos with demons and demons, the vast land is full of disasters, and the only belief of human beings is to survive.
However, in this era, an earth-shattering person appeared, that is, the first generation of Literary Sage, also known as the Great Sage.
Martial arts suppressed the Eight Desolations, and Confucianism and Taoism educated the world.
He is a peerless person who is skilled in both civil and martial arts.
In the room, the dishes arranged by Wu were not touched. Zhou Ling explained the rumors about the Great Sage, which made Xu Qingxiao both shocked and full of yearning.
It's time.
Xu Qingxiao still stayed at Zhou Ling's home. After hearing the rumors about the Great Sage, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but feel emotional.
"But what I can know is extremely one-sided. After all, the Great Sage is too far away from us. Many of his deeds are recorded in ancient books. If you are interested, there may be relevant books in various provincial academies."
After telling some relevant information about the Great Sage, Zhou Ling told Xu Qingxiao that he could go to various provincial academies to check out books.
"Understood sir."
Xu Qingxiao nodded. He also understood the Great Sage's affairs, but Zhou Ling naturally didn't understand them very well.
But Xu Qingxiao also had other thoughts in mind.
"The literary palace in my mind belongs to that generation of literary saints?"
There have been five literary saints from ancient times to the present. It is difficult to determine which generation of literary saints the Heaven and Earth Wen Palace in my mind is.
Although she had a lot of doubts in her heart and wanted to continue questioning Zhou Ling, Xu Qingxiao suppressed it.
First, Zhou Ling knew without seeing it.
The second is that there is no need to ask too many things.
In fact, after returning yesterday, Xu Qingxiao regretted asking about Wen Gong. Although she could just tell a lie to cover it up, she was facing Zhou Ling.
If Mr. Cheng from Nanyu Mansion heard this, it would be troublesome.
From now on, I still have to rely on myself and try my best not to ask too many questions. I have too many right and wrongs now. I am not afraid of being betrayed by others, but I am afraid of harming others.
Xu Qingxiao had some thoughts in her mind.
It's like Dr. Zhao, who just said something to himself, but suffered an unreasonable disaster. Xu Qingxiao didn't want this to happen a second time.
"Qingxiao, let's chat for a while. There is one thing I want to ask you and see if you have any ideas."
Zhou Ling spoke up, warmed a cup of tea, and asked.
"What's up?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.
"You have passed the Confucianism and Taoism and can be regarded as a real scholar. If you want to develop better, you can take part in the imperial examination. I wonder if you are willing?"
Zhou Ling spoke slowly, and after saying this, he took another sip of tea.
"Take part in the imperial examination?"
Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised when she heard this.
He really has never thought about taking part in the imperial examination. After all, he is a sergeant and a warrior. Logically speaking, shouldn't his future promotion path be to be a police officer, a head catcher, or a gold medal head catcher?
If he reaches the top, he is probably the boss of an organization like Jinyiwei.
Studying? Imperial examination? This seems a bit far away.
"Well, imperial examination."
Zhou Ling nodded and said with a very firm tone.
"But sir, I'm just a servant after all. Isn't there something wrong with taking the imperial examination?"
Xu Qingxiao thought for a while and gave this answer.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take the imperial examination, he just felt something was wrong.
"There's nothing wrong with it. You don't ask for the source when you read. What does it matter if you are a police officer or not? You have a great spirit. It's just that you have missed two years of reading."
"Furthermore, on the 15th day of next month, Nanyu Prefecture will take the imperial examination. I don't hope that you can pass the exam in one go, but to show your face in the scholars. There are many scholars in Nanyu Prefecture. If you can get to know each other, it can be considered as a savings."
Connections.”
"Qingxiao, are you willing to stay in this county for the rest of your life?"
Xu Qingxiao was not touched by Zhou Ling's first two sentences, but Xu Qingxiao was touched by the last sentence.
yes.
Do you want to stay in this county for the rest of your life?
This is obviously impossible.
Xu Qingxiao did not expect to become a king or an ancestor, but she was not willing to spend the rest of her life in a small county.
Furthermore, with the threat of strange magic, Xu Qingxiao would not be able to stay here.
It is indeed possible to go to the outside world.
It's just that Xu Qingxiao wanted to stay in peace for a while. He has a more steady and cautious temperament, so he doesn't want to leave Ping'an County without any foundation.
The outside world is wonderful, but it can also eat people.
Now that Zhou Ling asked him to take part in the imperial examination, Xu Qingxiao felt a little uncomfortable and was not prepared.
However, Xu Qingxiao also understood Zhou Ling's intention.
It is obviously impossible to pass the government examination in my current situation, but the main purpose is to let myself know more people and have my own network, so I can prepare for a rainy day.
"To take the prefectural examination, don't you have to take the provincial examination first? And the students don't have any merit, so it shouldn't be possible to directly take the prefectural examination, right?"
Xu Qingxiao said, although he has passed the imperial examination, shouldn't his path to the imperial examination be step-by-step?
I didn't even participate in the children's examination, but directly participated in the government examination, which is a bit exaggerated.
"Ordinary people do need to follow the steps step by step, but you are different. You have already entered the first grade, so you can skip the child test. Plus, with my recommendation, you can skip the provincial test."
"Qing Xiao, I see that you are no more than twenty years old. You have already entered the imperial examination at the age of twenty. When you arrive in Nanyu Mansion, I think many people will be willing to make friends with you. Then you will be able to naturally escape from the small pond of counties and counties.
."
Zhou Ling shook his head.
It is true that it is not possible to directly take the government examination, but Xu Qingxiao can directly skip the child examination if he is admitted to the first grade. After all, not all people who take the government examination can be admitted to the first grade.
Plus with his recommendation, it's not a big problem.
In the lineage of Confucianism and Taoism, fame is not important, what is important is rank.
After all, fame is given by the imperial court, and rank is recognized by heaven and earth. How can the imperial court be as big as heaven and earth?
The worst case scenario is to change the court.
But you can’t practice Confucianism in another world, right?
Zhou Ling's words made Xu Qingxiao a little moved.
If you think about it carefully, it's right. If there is no danger of the alien magic, Xu Qingxiao really doesn't care. It would be great to become a great scholar and then take the imperial examination.
But there is a crisis of alien magic, and my world must expand quickly.
Staying in Ping'an County all this time, I always feel that information is suppressed.
Just like a question about Confucianism and Taoism, you must ask Zhou Ling. Asking questions will always arouse suspicion.
If you go to Nanyu Mansion and read more, you will naturally understand everything.
Environmental impact pattern.
After confirming this, Xu Qingxiao no longer hesitated and nodded.
"Then please sir, please recommend me."
After receiving Xu Qingxiao's answer, Zhou Ling nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, the recommendation is small."
"But taking the government examination is not just a formality. You still have to study when you should."
"You should come here often these days. I will prepare some books for you. It will be a surprise if you pass the government examination."
Zhou Ling said.
But in fact, the reason why Zhou Ling came here was not to pass the re-examination, but because he didn't want Xu Qingxiao's ranking to be too bad.
Pass the re-examination?
Zhou Ling must have known that it was impossible. Xu Qingxiao passed the imperial examination. It can only be said that he is suitable for Confucianism and Taoism, but he passed the imperial examination for the first time?
This itself is difficult not to mention. The most important thing is that Xu Qingxiao has never read any books.
This is if I can pass the government examination.
He, Zhou Ling, will never enter the tenth rank in his life.
"Okay, then students will have to disturb sir a lot these days."
Xu Qingxiao nodded.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's getting late, why don't we just rest here?"
Zhou Ling smiled.
Zhou Ling was already overjoyed to pick up a student who became a good student overnight.
After all, as long as Xu Qingxiao gives a little advice, passes the government examination, and then goes to the capital city to take the scientific examination, he may be able to pass the exam. If he becomes the top three, then he will be happy.
He didn't win the exam, but he was a student in high school, and his reputation spread all over the country. Even Nanyu Mansion respected him as a guest.
This wave, this wave is called curve to save the country.
Of course, selfishness is selfishness, and loving talent is also loving talent. Zhou Ling is also a scholar after all, so naturally he will not exceed the qualifications.
"Sir, you're welcome. I'll go home and rest. It's not too late for students."
Xu Qingxiao declined politely.
He is not used to living in other people's homes, so he might as well go home.
Hearing what Xu Qingxiao said, Zhou Ling didn't say anything more.
Standing up to say goodbye to Zhou Ling, Xu Qingxiao was about to leave.
Zhou Ling also stood up and sent Xu Qingxiao out, but at the end, Zhou Ling lowered his voice and said: "By the way, don't talk nonsense about your admission, especially don't tell your master's wife."
He said something inexplicably, which made Xu Qingxiao a little curious, but it was nothing, Xu Qingxiao nodded.
Soon, Zhou Ling and Wu sent Xu Qingxiao outside before returning to the house.
Xu Qingxiao didn't think much and went straight home.
That night.
To go back to your own home from Mr. Zhou's house, you have to take a small road. If you take the main road, it is far away, and it is easy to run into colleagues, and it is always troublesome to exchange greetings.
So Xu Qingxiao took the small road back as usual.
However, as Xu Qingxiao walked.
Inexplicably, Xu Qingxiao felt something was wrong.
The body feels a little hot.
A little bit of a bad feeling.
Just pause for a short while.
Xu Qingxiao continued to move forward, planning to go back quickly for fear of something happening.
Half an hour later.
Xu Qingxiao stopped in place.
Because the body is too hot.
It was as if I was standing under the scorching sun, and my whole body felt itchy, hot, and very uncomfortable.
"what happened?"
Xu Qingxiao frowned, and he immediately sat down cross-legged and started to use the Zhengyang Gong, trying to suppress it a little.
Unfortunately, Zhengyang Gong has no effect at all, and it even feels like adding fuel to the fire.
Fortunately, Xu Qingxiao didn't panic.
He immediately mobilized the righteousness in his body to see if he could suppress it.
And with the emergence of Haoran's righteousness, it was like a cold spring pouring into the body.
All the heat and discomfort disappeared, replaced by a sense of coolness.
Cool.
Very cool.
This feeling made Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but tremble slightly.
However, just when Xu Qingxiao was still experiencing this refreshing feeling, a voice suddenly sounded.
"You can actually suppress the power of the Golden Crow."
"Practice two kinds of magic at the same time?"
"You are so brave."
The voice sounded, and soon an extremely familiar figure appeared in Xu Qingxiao's eyes.
It's the fugitive from Nanyu Mansion!
In an instant, Xu Qingxiao quickly stood up and looked at the other party with extremely wary eyes.
