Since Li Mu wanted to take part in the imperial examination, he has carefully inquired about the imperial examination rules and some customs in this world. Naturally, he also had some understanding of the gods in charge of the imperial examination.
The scholars of the Yin Dynasty worshiped the Confucian masters and Emperor Wenchang every family.
Among them, the image of the Master is a tall and ugly old man. The old man has a long sword hanging at his waist and a ruler in his hand. He has a majestic image. He does not look like a scholar, but like a warrior.
Compared with the master, Emperor Wenchang was a white-faced scholar, wearing a Confucian crown, white clothes, a mustache on his upper lip, two boys who were deaf and dumb, and a subordinate standing on one side, who was holding a red pen.
The leading star.
After Li Mu saw Shu Wenchang's ability and heard the word "Wenchang", he had some guesses in his mind.
When I followed Shu Wenchang to this garden and saw these maids again, I was even more sure of my guess.
Now seeing the appearance of the second master in the maid's mouth, Li Mu no longer has any doubts.
How is this Shu Wenchang a scholar candidate? He is obviously Emperor Wenchang himself, okay?
No wonder I had no power to fight back when facing him. With the incense Emperor Wenchang is receiving now, let alone Li Mu, even Daluo Jinxian will probably give Wenchang three points!
If this Shu Wenchang is Emperor Wenchang, then the lame man in front of him with a golden body, red face, red hair and eyes, and horns on his head must be Kuixing himself!
The legendary Kuixing was ugly, with a pockmarked face and naked body, and a protruding head and horns. One leg was normal, but the other leg was entangled by the talents and literary fortunes of the world's scholars, so that his feet were deeply sunk in the mud and it was difficult to pull them out. Naturally, he had difficulty walking.
Looks like a lame man.
When folk artists painted the image of Kuixing, they did not dare to draw it short, so they designed him to hold a vermilion pen in his right hand and an ink fountain in his left hand. At the same time, his right foot is independent of the golden rooster, with his foot on the head, and the other foot is raised behind him, holding a ball on the sole of his foot.
The image of fighting.
This is called being on top, Kuixing kicking and fighting.
Since ancient times, most of the images of literati are elegant, handsome, and gentle, but the images of Master and Kuixing are different.
The master is just ugly, but he still looks like a human being after all, and this Kuixing has broken away from the category of human beings, and is ferocious and terrifying, comparable to a ghost.
Everyone who sees his image will be deeply impressed.
And now, Kuixing is standing in front of him!
Listening to his words and looking at his demeanor, it seems that he is not very satisfied with himself.
"Why am I not the number one talent?"
Hearing him say that he was not the number one scholar, Li Mu became furious: "I am so handsome and handsome, why can't I be the number one scholar?"
The ugly man opposite laughed dumbly: "Your surname is Li?"
Li Mu said: "That's right! Little brother Li Mu, what do you call me?"
The ugly man smiled and said: "My surname is Kui, just call me Lao Kui."
He glanced at Shu Wenchang next to him, then looked at Li Mu: "Brother called me to accompany you today. I didn't want to disturb the two Yaxings. I just did my duty and didn't dare to neglect it. Brother Li, the pure yang aura above your head is like the bright sun."
Hengkong, his future prospects are limitless, and only we can compare with them. But his literary fortune is slightly lacking, even if he is appointed as the leader, I am afraid he will not be able to convince the public..."
"Aqui!"
Next to him, Shu Wenchang interrupted Lao Kui: "Don't worry too much. Brother Li and I hit it off immediately. I just invited him to come for a drink today. There is no other intention."
Lao Kui snorted: "You said it, you don't have to interfere with this year's cultural fortunes in the world."
Shu Wenchang laughed loudly: "How can I alone decide the destiny of the human world? You have underestimated the human world too much."
He raised his glass to Li Mu and said: "Brother Li, my second brother has a straightforward personality and harsh words. Don't take it to heart."
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's good to be straightforward! It's not tiring to deal with people like Lao Kui!"
At this time, the maid had already brought the tables and chairs for Lao Kui, and arranged the food and wine in a moment. After Lao Kui sat down, he bowed to Li Mu and said, "You are the eldest brother's guest. Please forgive me if I speak inappropriately."
!"
He raised his wine glass, looked at it, and said, "A distinguished guest is here, how can we enjoy ourselves with a small cup? Come, bring me the wine bowl!"
Then several servants brought a stack of large bowls and several large jars of wine and placed them on their respective wine tables. Lao Kui stood up and looked at Li Mu: "Brother Li, you are the pure yang of the Great Sun. In the future,
He must be a person in the immortal way, free and easy, not walking in the world of mortals. What kind of pleasure is that? It is far better than us who work all day long, work hard with paperwork, and can’t even eat wine happily!"
He raised his wine bowl: "I'm lucky enough to meet Brother Li today. What a blessing! Please!"
Li Mu also picked up the wine bowl: "Brother Kui, thank you! Please!"
Shu Wenchang laughed and said: "Add me too! Drinking from a big bowl and eating meat with a big mouth, this is the nature of a hero! Brother Li, I am very drunk, you might as well call your maid here to avoid getting drunk.
No one is helping me."
Li Mu said: "Brother Wenchang, did I just scare your gatekeeper beast and make you show up?"
Shu Wenchang smiled and said: "I was meditating out of boredom today. Suddenly the stone beast at the door was startled. I thought it was some Taoist friend coming, so I didn't dare to neglect, but I didn't want to go out to investigate. I actually saw Brother Li. I met Li again.
My brother's Taoism is pure Yang, his righteousness runs through the sun and the moon, and he is also an outstanding poet. He is a member of our generation, how could I pass him up and miss him?"
Li Mu's eyes flashed with light: "Is that why Brother Wenchang met me specially and invited me to come and drink?"
Shu Wenchang said: "Brother Li came to our Wenchang Palace, didn't he come to see me? Since Brother Li is here as a guest, how dare we treat him so rudely? Naturally, we have to hold a banquet to show our solemnity."
When he said this, he ordered a boy in white beside him: "Tian Deaf, go and invite Brother Li's maid. We are hosting a banquet for the master, and we cannot treat Brother Li's maid lightly."
Tian Deaf nodded, turned and left.
Li Muqi said: "Wenchang Academy is the place where the righteous gods live. Do I, a little servant girl like me, come from a despicable background and have the right to come in?"
Shu Wenchang shook his head and laughed: "There are thousands of temples in the world, but the temple of Confucius and mine give all spirits a way to survive. If there are spirits who survive the thunderstorm, and if they are not sure of surviving, they will usually sneak into Confucius Temple or my Wenchang Palace.
Prostrate yourself under the feet of the Master and me to avoid the thunder from the sky."
He glanced at Li Mu with a smile: "You, this maidservant, must have no masters, and come from a wild background. You don't know how to avoid disasters, and you don't understand our Confucian benevolence and righteousness. They say that Buddhism is vast, how can it be as inclusive as our Confucianism? In the past, Master
During the sermon, lynxes, wild beasts, tigers and poisonous insects also came to listen to the sermon, but the Master never drove them away."
Li Mu chuckled and thought to himself: "Yun Niang, this guy only knows a little, and I have lost a lot of people! If I had known that she could come in, why would I be such a bad person!"
Suddenly he thought: "Since ancient times, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with! Emperor Wenchang does not prohibit goblins from entering the palace, will his subordinates allow the goblins to enter the palace rashly? Just like in the world, the emperor can be close to the people, is it true that the Imperial Guards will really
Let ordinary people face the saint?"
He is not a three-year-old child. Although he has a bad temper, he is not ignorant of the ways of the world.
The reason why he doesn't want to hang out in society is not that he doesn't know the importance of human relationships, but that he is too lazy to pretend to be himself.
A person is born as a human being, and his life spans just a few decades. Just like a fleeting moment, he turns into withered bones in the grave in the blink of an eye. Even after death, he is forced to crush his bones and scatter them to ashes by the government...
Your life is so miserable, why do you still have to humiliate yourself in life?
Therefore, he was born strong and could not bear any injustice.
But it’s not like I don’t understand anything.
People who can be admitted to graduate school, pass CET-8 in English in one year, and can be considered a pillar in the company after graduation, generally do not have too bad brains.
After listening to Shu Wenchang's words, Li Mu smiled, raised his wine bowl, and signaled to Shu Wenchang: "I see, in the future, my maidservant will have to take care of me when I go through the tribulation."
Shu Wenchang said with a smile: "Brother Li, the body of the pure yang in the great sun will avoid all evils. Even if the thunder god is in the sky, I have to stay away from him. Use your pure yang true energy to wash away the evil spirit of the maidservant, just like watching from behind the palm of your hand.
It’s just a pattern. Without the demonic energy, it’s hard for heaven to cause disaster, so why do you need us to come forward?”
Li Mu said: "So this can still be done? Thank you Brother Wenchang for your teaching!"
While they were talking, Hu Yunniang, led by Tian Deaf, came to Li Mu.
She looked frightened and lowered her eyes. She just walked but did not dare to raise her head.
When he arrived at Li Mu's side, he smelled Li Mu's breath, then raised his head and timidly said: "Master!"
After seeing Shu Wenchang and Lao Kui clearly, she was so frightened that she hurriedly saluted them: "Fox girl Yunniang, I have seen these two gods!"
Lao Kui snorted and ignored it.
Shu Wenchang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No gifts, no gifts, don't be nervous. Come here, give this girl a glass of water and wine."
Immediately, a maid brought Hu Yunniang a glass of wine.
Hu Yunniang took the wine and looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded and said: "Drink, this wine is good!"
Hu Yunniang drank the glass of wine cautiously, and then stood obediently behind Li Mu without saying a word.
The status of Emperor Wenchang and Kuixing was so high and their power was so great that she almost had difficulty maintaining her human form. Fortunately, Shu Wenchang gave her a glass of wine. This wine contained great spiritual energy and had the effect of stabilizing the soul, so she could
The spirit is stable and no longer scattered.
When Li Mu saw that Hu Yunniang was fine, he immediately felt relieved and drank and drank with Shu Wenchang and Lao Kui, chatting and occasionally making witty remarks, which made Shu Wenchang couldn't help but applaud: "Brother Li is so talented, why is Lao Kui so talented?"
Are you saying he can't win the title?"
Lao Kui also drank too much and heard the words: "Even if you have the talent to manage the world and the strategies to stabilize the country, but you don't have enough literary spirit, you can't get the position of leader. Look at the past dynasties, there are countless capable ministers, and there are many
How many of them are the number one scholar? Based on what Brother Li has learned, what does a mere civil servant mean?"
He had a long talk with Li Mu, and he was really convinced by some of Li Mu's views and opinions. He felt that it was indeed a bit shameful not to let Li Mu be the leader of the article, but he couldn't really choose Li Mu to be the leader of the article in advance.
After all, the number of days is fixed, and this year's top pick has been decided for a long time. It is impossible to change the long-decided quota for Li Mu.
He thought for a while, took out a golden bucket, poured a full bucket of wine into the golden bucket, then threw the golden bucket into the air and kicked Li Mu: "Brother Li is a great talent, and brothers have no respect for you, especially
I would like to express my gratitude to Brother Li for his literary spirit, and wish Brother Li a high ranking and a roll call in the imperial city!"
Li Mu took Jin Dou, drank all the wine in Jin Dou, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Kui for your kind words. If you have any difficulties in the future, you might as well give me a word."
After drinking this glass of wine, he felt completely comfortable and ecstatic. Many things in front of him were shaking, even the figures of Shu Wenchang and Lao Kui were shaking and deformed.
All I could hear was Hu Yunniang's soft voice: "Master, Master, Master, why did you get drunk so fast?"
Then Shu Wenchang's laughter rang out: "It doesn't matter! Do you know that there are only ten buckets in this world, and my second brother kicked the bucket and gave him wine, and gave Brother Li a full bucket of literary spirit, even the gods would be in a trance.
, not to mention that he is not a god, so he naturally cannot bear it."
Lao Kui's laughter also sounded: "There are only ten fights in the world, and Brother Li owns one fight. Even if he is not the number one scholar, he is still proud..."
