Chapter 388 Qualifications for the Earth Dragon Palace
"You brat, you're finally out. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Just after Chen Shaojun left the temple, a familiar voice suddenly came from the ground.
"Little snail?!"
Chen Shaojun was also pleasantly surprised. When he heard the voice, he recognized it instantly.
The next moment, I saw ripples on the ground under my feet, and a familiar figure popped up from the ground and landed on Chen Shaojun's shoulders. However, before he could sit firmly, he was "bounced" out by a force and fell to the ground.
on the ground.
"Ouch, brat, what are you doing?"
The little snail groaned, rolled up on the ground, touched his snail shell, and said with great dissatisfaction.
Just now, it actually felt a repulsive force on Chen Shaojun, which directly ejected it, and the force made it feel very uncomfortable.
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Chen Shaojun was a little confused, but soon he understood something, and a smile appeared on his lips.
This is the function of the powerful body!
After he accepted the ultimatum, became a great Confucian, and obtained the body of Hao Qi, his whole body was filled with the Confucian Hao Ran righteousness, and all evils were immune to invasion. Although Xiaowo had no evil thoughts and malicious intentions, he was a monster after all, so he would also be affected by the body of Hao Qi.
Instinctively rejecting it, which is why it was bounced away just now.
"Damn it, then, wouldn't it mean that I, Uncle Snail, will no longer have a humanoid mount to ride on you?"
After hearing Chen Shaojun's explanation, Xiaowo said angrily.
"What did you say?"
Chen Shaojun's face darkened. He kindly asked Xiaowo to lie on his shoulder, but he didn't expect it to think like this. This guy also likes to take advantage.
"In this case, the energy supply of the sacred tree will be halved in the future!"
"do not!"
Hearing Chen Shaojun's words, Xiaowo immediately started to wail, and rushed towards Chen Shaojun, doing a crazy job:
"I'm just kidding. This time I'm in the limelight. Even if I don't get any credit, I still have hard work!"
"How could it be you? Isn't it because of my contribution?"
At this moment, a girl's voice, suppressing a smile, came from behind.
"Wei Zhen."
Following the sound, Chen Shaojun turned his head and saw a white figure behind him, with immortal flesh and jade bones, extremely petite, slowly walking down from a carriage parked on the side of the road.
Although she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, this girl has a graceful temperament, a sense of nobility and elegance beyond her age, and has a beautiful girlish face. Who else is she if she is not Wei Zhen?
"You came!"
A smile appeared on Chen Shaojun's lips and he quickly came forward to greet him.
"Brother Shaojun, congratulations on successfully transforming your literary spirit and becoming a true Confucian scholar!"
Wei Zhen looked happy from the bottom of her heart.
Once upon a time, Shaojun's elder brother, who was ridiculed by others in the capital and called "Chen Wolong", finally realized his talent, achieved the realm of Confucianism, wrote a chapter of sage, and truly blossomed into an unparalleled one.
Dazzling brilliance.
At this moment, Wei Zhen was simply happier than she had won the first place in the Hall of Heroes competition.
"Zhen'er, thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to participate in this competition."
Chen Shaojun said sincerely.
As early as when he received the Queen Mother's decree and was allowed to participate in the competition in the Hall of Heroes, Chen Shaojun knew that Wei Zhen was behind it to add fuel to the flames and help him.
Only she has the ability to do this.
"Haha, Zhen'er only tried her best. The key is brother Shaojun himself. It's not that brother Shaojun himself has extraordinary accomplishments in literature and has written sage chapters. Even if Zhen'er recommends him, it will be useless."
Wei Zhen shook her head and smiled.
"Tch, isn't it because of me? It's not me. I saw this boy sighing and feeling dejected. He ran to the palace to find the little girl. Can you defeat that boy named Liao and win the first place?"
Xiaowo turned her head to the side with an indignant look on her face.
Chen Shaojun and Wei Zhen couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"Yes, yes, you have the greatest credit, no one else has more credit than you!"
Wei Zhen bent down and smiled into a crescent shape with her eyes.
During this time, she became much closer to this little snail who often wandered into the palace.
"Don't worry, I'll reward you well when I go back."
Chen Shaojun also said.
"real."
Xiaowo's eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, the sacred tree, the sacred tree, it has been coveting it for a long time, and it has never tasted it since Chen Shaojun's sacred tree evolved.
"Um."
Chen Shaojun smiled and nodded. He had already guessed that Xiaowo went to find Wei Zhen.
Xiaowo is probably more familiar with the palace than she is now. If it weren't for it, even if Wei Zhen had the intention, she might not be able to help him in such a timely manner at the last moment.
——When Chen Shaojun entered, it was already the fourth round of exams. If he were any later, he would really be unable to catch up.
"By the way, brother Shaojun, I actually have one more thing to do this time."
Wei Zhen paused and said with a serious face:
"I have already told the Queen Mother about the Earth Dragon Palace. The Queen Mother has agreed and convinced the Emperor to take out the token to enter the Earth Dragon Palace in advance and give it to you."
As Wei Zhen spoke, she gently swayed her white jade-green right palm. Under the golden tassel, a black horned dragon token hung down and swung in the air.
The black horned dragon's beard and hair are spread out, and its eyes are wide open, as if it is about to burst out of the wall. There are even faint dragon auras flowing out of the surface, making it feel like a living creature rather than a token.
Chen Shaojun's eyes moved slightly, and he saw a few ancient seal characters on the token at a glance:
Earth Dragon Palace!
"Zhen'er, how do you know? That's great!!"
Chen Shaojun had a look of surprise on his face. He clearly remembered that he wanted to go to the Earth Dragon Palace and did not mention it to Wei Zhen. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhen knew about it in advance and sent the things over.
The Hall of Heroes was a literary competition, and the merchant emperor did not come. Only an emperor offered wine and a eunuch in charge of the inner palace presided over it.
After that, Chen Shaojun was taken to the holy temple by the Confucian leader to undergo a ceremony of transformation of literary spirit.
Chen Shaojun was originally doubtful about how he should explain to the Human Emperor and find a way to use this competition in the Hall of Heroes to enter the Earth Dragon Palace, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly.
"Hmph, needless to say, of course it's all thanks to me!"
Xiaoshuai raised his head and said with an arrogant look on his face.
Chen Shaojun has a tender face, and he is embarrassed to tell Wei Zhen, but does Uncle Snail have a tender face too? He has lived for who knows how long, so how can he be so coquettish?
Since Chen Shaojun is embarrassed, let him tell the truth for him.
——If this kid has a conscience, he must remember his great merits.
"Zhen'er, thank you."
Chen Shaojun said sincerely, and at the same time glanced at Xiaowo:
"As for you, Uncle Wo, we are already so familiar with you, so there is no need to thank you."
"Tch, the boy is ruthless!"
Xiaowo rolled her eyes, but Wei Zhen beside her couldn't help laughing.
After handing the token of Earth Dragon Palace to Chen Shaojun, Wei Zhen got on the carriage and left quickly.
After all, Wei Zhen's current identity is still somewhat eye-catching, and people in the Weihou Mansion, including Wei Zhen's father Weihou and eldest brother Wei Hong, don't want to see Chen Shaojun. If they find that Wei Zhen is communicating with Chen Shaojun secretly behind their backs, they will probably be punished.
It will cause a lot of trouble.
In the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even meet.
…
After walking through the streets and alleys, Chen Shaojun quickly returned to Chen Mansion.
The time from when Chen Shaojun left the Hall of Heroes in the Imperial Palace to when he received the ultimatum at the Holy Temple was neither long nor short. When he returned to Chen's house, Chen Shaojun saw at a glance that the door of Chen's house was open, and the carriage where his father often went to court was parked in front of the house.
.
"Your father is back!"
When Chen Shaojun saw Chen Zongxi's carriage at his feet, the little snail suddenly became excited. It was originally planning to follow Chen Shaojun into his study for a while and eat two delicious pastries made by red lotus. But at this time, give it
I don't even dare to enter the Chen family's house if I'm too brave.
She remembered Chen Zongxi's aura so well that it was as dazzling as the sun and moon.
"Boy, I'm going to run away now, and you'll be happy on your own."
Xiaowo said, and immediately escaped deep into the ground, without even giving Chen Shaojun time to say goodbye - it was like running away for his life.
When Chen Shaojun saw this scene, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This bastard really had no loyalty at all.
Xiaowo ran away quickly, leaving Chen Shaojun behind, who still had to face his father Chen Zongxi.
Although this big breakthrough made him a saint, suppressed Liao Boya, and saved face for the literary lineage, Chen Shaojun was uneasy and not sure at all whether he could pass his father's test.
Chen Shaojun did not forget that he violated his father's stay-at-home order and ran to the Hall of Heroes privately.
Moreover, his father was an upright person and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. For this reason, when Chen Shaojun was in the Hall of Heroes, even though he had written a chapter in the world of literature and acting, he did not dare to look at the corner where his father was.
However, he can escape for a while, but he cannot escape for a lifetime. No matter how long it takes, Chen Shaojun will eventually return to the Chen family mansion and still have to face his father.
"Hope it's really useful."
Chen Shaojun touched the Wen Dao Sword on his waist and the token of the Confucian leader, and felt a lot more courageous.
If you really can't pass this level, you can only pull out the Confucian leader as a shield.
Chen Shaojun took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and was about to cross the threshold and walk in.
When Chen Shaojun walked in, sure enough, Honglian and Jiang Bo were both there, especially Honglian, holding a broom in his hand, standing under the sycamore tree, seemingly waiting for a long time, when he saw Chen Shaojun walking in, he kept
winked at him.
"Master, the master is back."
The tacit understanding between Honglian and Chen Shaojun no longer needs words, it can be expressed vividly with just a few glances.
As expected, Chen Shaojun also realized it, and his heart suddenly shuddered.
Moving forward, Chen Shaojun saw Uncle Jiang dressed in gray, standing at the door of the lobby. When he saw Chen Shaojun coming, Uncle Jiang glanced at the lobby several times. Chen Shaojun immediately understood that his father had not gone down yet and was in the lobby.
