Chapter Three Hundred and Seventeen: Subduing Demons
PS: The second update is here!
The rising sun rises in the east, the morning breeze is vast, and the dense mist fills the streets and alleys. Looking around, it is a vast expanse of white.
At this time, Ha Tian Fuzhong also ushered in the last day of the exam.
Thin mist mixed with a bit of coolness was constantly hovering in the air. The entrance to Ha Tian Mansion was already densely packed with countless people.
Some of these people are bookboys, waiting for their sons to walk out of the examination room, some are family members, waiting for their sons to return home with great honors, and some are strong servants from rich families and officials.
Whenever there was a major imperial examination, these powerful slaves would swarm at the entrance of Ha Tian Mansion, and then shape the drawings of the students taking the examination one by one, and then pass these drawings into the hands of their masters.
Then when the imperial list is released the next day, they will immediately search according to the names on the list and search for the famous students on the list.
After finding them, they will take these students back to their homes and arrange marriages.
"Come out!"
"They're all out!"
"These people are all the best among people. I wonder how many will pass the exam and how many will fail?"
"I heard that only 108 people were admitted this time, but tens of thousands or even more people took the exam. I don't know how many people will be admitted."
Some of the students who came out of the examination room were high-spirited and nodding their heads, obviously because they had done well on the paper, but some were downcast and had a look of frustration on their faces, obviously because they had encountered a difficult question.
Zhang Yutang walked out of the examination room, took a slight breath of cool air, and suddenly felt a surge of comfort in his body and mind. He stretched out his hands and raised them as if embracing the sun.
"It's finally over. I spent three whole days in one place with no freedom at all. It was really suffocating."
He turned around and looked around, looking for Li Yong and Green Snake.
"Master, Master, we are here!"
Li Yong's voice came from the crowd, and he followed the sound, but when he saw Li Yong, Qing Snake squeezed through the crowd. There were too many people here, and they were packed with people. Every time they wanted to take a step forward, they were in a hurry.
Push hard.
Zhang Yutang stood there quietly, with joy on his face, waiting for Li Yong, and the two Green Snakes pushed through the crowd and rushed over. They stood motionless, as powerful as a green pine, tall and proud.
Swish swish!
Suddenly, several rich slaves came next to them. They were well-dressed and their faces were full of flesh and blood. But at this time, they were all smiling. They walked in front of Zhang Yutang, pointed lightly, and an old scholar came over with a drawing board.
With three strokes and two strokes, the image of Zhang Yutang was painted, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a jade tree in the wind. The painting was vivid and lifelike.
Zhang Yutang was not surprised by the world's social customs. After walking out of the examination room, he no longer knew how many rich slaves and painters had come here. He also had no idea how many people he looked like and how many people painted him.
"Holy Master Zhang Yutang, these five words may bring you a lot of trouble!"
Zhang Yutang was secretly anxious and planned to leave here as soon as possible. After all, with the five characters of his Holy Master Zhang Yutang, it was almost certain that he would be on the list. The only thing he was not sure about was how many names he would be able to take.
"Sir, we are here, how did the exam go?"
Li Yong and Green Snake finally squeezed through the crowd to Zhang Yutang's side, surrounded Zhang Yutang on the left and right, and surrounded him to separate the passing crowd.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Zhang Yutang, Green Snake, and Li Yong walked together. Zhang Yutang slightly released his energy. Everyone who came close seemed to be lightly shocked and automatically moved out of the way.
The three of them walked out along the way out of the way.
After leaving, he returned directly to the Zhuangyuan Building.
In the Zhuangyuan Building.
At this time, the Zhuangyuan Building was deserted and not very popular. Everyone had gone to Ha Tian Mansion to watch this year's students. Some of these students will surely flourish and have a bright future.
Back in the room, Zhang Yutang ordered Qing She and Li Yong to sit down, poured a cup of tea, moistened their throats, and then said: "This big exam is nothing. There is no problem in passing it. As for those who can pass it,
How about it, it’s hard to estimate.”
After a pause: "Let's not talk about him for the moment. I will naturally know the ranking tomorrow, but I don't know how it went in the martial arts exam. Is there anything I need to prepare for?"
Li Yong said: "Sir, I have made it clear that this martial arts test is divided into two situations. One is force, which is to test whose kung fu is better, and the other is to test the art of war and strategy.
When it comes to strategizing in a competition, only those who are excellent in both aspects can stand out."
"Force and the art of war?"
Zhang Yutang nodded and said thoughtfully: "To get the first prize in martial arts, you need to be good at both civil and military skills before you can lead troops and deploy troops. However, people who practice martial arts often cannot calm down and study carefully. Those who want to win in the art of war and strategy,
I guess it won’t be too much.”
After sorting through the information about the martial arts exam, Zhang Yutang waved to Qing She and Li Yong to go their separate ways and prepare well for tomorrow's martial arts exam.
The day after Fahai left Jinshan Temple, he rushed to the Taishi's Mansion. When Fahai entered the Taishi's Mansion, the servants from the Taishi's Mansion who went to Jinshan Temple to greet Fahai had not yet returned.
Grand Master Liang went out in person and welcomed Fahai in: "Master Liang soars into the clouds and rides on the mist. He is a man among gods. He nods his head and walks three thousand miles. He bends down for more than eight hundred miles. This is really the envy of this old man."
Fahai looked at Taishi Liang who was walking out, walked over in one step, and bowed: "Fahai, a poor monk from Jinshan Temple, has met Taishi. Wish you all the blessings for Taishi. This little monk only has a rough knowledge of magical powers, and he can't be said to be a man of gods. Taishi is mistaken."
Liked it.”
"I never lie. I have heard about the master's magical powers. I invited you here this time because a demon came to the Zhuangyuan Building in the capital. A Taoist priest named Wang Xiantian from my residence has already injured that person.
In hand."
The Grand Master looked at Fa Hai and his expression became serious, and said: "The magic of demons and monsters is profound, and I also ask the master to use methods to defeat demons, eliminate demons, defend the law, and protect the safety of the capital."
"Amitabha, little monk will never give up even if he dies!"
Fa Hai clasped his hands together and said, "I would also like to ask the Grand Master to bring someone with him to take me to the Zhuangyuan Building to subdue the demons and protect the Tao. There should be no delay for a moment."
"That's fine!"
Grand Master Liang was overjoyed: "The demon's name is Zhang Yutang. He is accompanied by two demons, one male and one female. They have great magical powers. Please be careful, master, and don't fall prey to the demon's tricks."
"Master, please rest assured!"
After a short pause, a strong young man walked out of the Grand Master's Mansion. Grand Master Liang ordered: "Liang Chen, take Master to the Zhuangyuan Building and be sure to bring back the heads of Zhang Yutang and his group!"
"Goodbye, poor monk!"
Fahai drifted away, followed by Liang Chen.
Looking at Fahai leaving, Master Liang's eyes were as cold as ice: "Kill me, Liang Kuan, bully my children, and write such rebellious poems and articles. Even if I kill you, no one will speak for you." (To be completed.) Continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
