Qu Mansion is not far from Xiaojun Mountain and is within the jurisdiction of Junshan Temple. Zhao Ran circled the sky of Qu Mansion three times with Lingyan. He saw the figures in the house below shaking, and he saw Qu Zhongheng leading a few people in the main house.
Looking up at myself in front of the house, I felt that the effect was almost there, so I slowly fell down.
After getting off Lingyan's back, Zhao Ran smiled and said, "How good are you, my fellow countryman?"
Qu Zhongheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Master Zhao Xian is here today. Qu is very lucky. Come and invite Master Zhao inside to serve tea."
Zhao Ran looked at him and saw a young scholar in a long gown staring at Lingyan Nangui Taoist with wide eyes, with a look of surprise and curiosity on his face. He thought to himself that this must be Qu Fengshan, and he didn't say anything. Following Qu Zhong.
Heng entered the flower hall of the main house.
Qu Zhongheng and Zhao Ran sat opposite each other, with a young scholar standing behind him. The old housekeeper poured the tea and retired. Qu Zhongheng said: "Not long ago, my son received a letter from home. He said that he is very favored by the noble sect, especially
Master Zhao Xian has taken good care of my son, so he has made rapid progress. Thank you so much, Qu!"
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Feng He is the eldest disciple of my third brother Lou Guan. I have always been very optimistic about him. What he is today is also the result of his hard work. Like fellow officials, I look forward to his path of cultivation.
The further you go, the smoother you get, so why should fellow officials be so polite?"
Qu Zhongheng added: "My son's family letter said that Master Zhao Xian intends to continue to support the Qu family. Qu is really scared. Whatever the noble sect needs, the Qu family will do its best."
Then he pointed to the young scholar behind him and said: "This is my fourth brother's child. His father passed away early, and my cousin and I have been raising him. This child is quite worthy. He is now in high school. I am
I am very happy. Qilang, please pay your respects to the Immortal Master as soon as possible."
Qu Fengshan immediately straightened his gown, knelt down on the ground, and saluted Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran raised his empty hand, and a gentle magic power lifted him up again. When Qu Fengshan was lifted up, his mouth opened wide.
Somewhat sluggish.
Zhao Ran heard what Qu Fenghe said about this young man. He clearly did not go to Chunwei High School to elect an official, but planned to take the exam again to compete for the top spot. This shows that this child is very proud and has the right idea, so he is
The purpose of continuously demonstrating the means is to get him to correct his attitude and feel the mystery of Taoism.
No matter where you accept a disciple, it is always a matter of mutual consent. These two tricks are obvious. If Qu Fengshan still insists on taking the imperial examination, then Zhao Ran will have no choice but to give up.
Qu Zhongheng continued: "I wonder if the immortal master can help test the qualifications of my family Qi Lang?"
This was the purpose of Zhao Ran's visit, so he nodded, took action with a smile, held Qu Feng's wrist, and performed a Taoist test.
It has been expected that the talent is not good. For a wealthy family like the Qu family, there are naturally many ways to find people to check. If the qualifications are good, I am afraid that you have already entered another house, and the chance of being picked up is very small.
.
Then he used the Taoist skills to check his qualifications, and Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He has the gift of clairvoyance, which is very effective when checking qualifications. Others can only take a rough look and simply distinguish them as qualified, unqualified, or good, ordinary, and unqualified, but he can distinguish between excellent, good, and unqualified.
There are many levels such as ordinary, infinite, and even excellent, and you can still see whether it is excellent or not.
Qu Fenghe's qualifications are already excellent, but Qu Fengshan is even better than Qu Fenghe and is among the best!
He smiled and said to Qu Zhongheng: "You have qualifications but no bones, but you can set your bones. After setting your bones and practicing diligently, you can still hope for a great path."
Qu Zhongheng's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he urged: "Qilang, please quickly bow to the Immortal Master, and the Immortal Master will introduce you. This is a great opportunity for you, and it is also a great blessing for my Qu family!"
Qu Fengshan also knew Zhao Ran’s intention. He originally planned to refuse. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to practice, but that he was holding his breath and wanted to get the top prize in the next subject! He is now focused on this idea. Cousin
Gan Shutong didn't listen to anything he said, and he continued to study after being "expelled" back to Guyang. As for his spiritual practice, he planned to wait until he got the top prize in the exam.
But today, I was first frightened by the immortal appearance of Zhao Ran riding a wild goose, and then I was shaken by the support of Zhao Ran's magic power. After experiencing two shocks in a row, I felt that the taste of cultivating immortals seemed to be very wonderful.
Let me ask, who doesn’t want to be successful in spiritual practice and travel to heaven in the future? Who doesn’t want to make people unable to move with just a finger? If it hadn’t been for many years of obsession with getting the top grade in the imperial examination, he would have fallen to the ground long ago. At this moment,
Even under Qu Zhongheng's urging, he hesitated.
Qu Zhongheng said angrily: "You kid, what's going on?"
Zhao Ran said: "My fellow eunuch, please calm down. Cultivation pays attention to opportunity. This opportunity not only has an outer edge, but also an inner edge. This child has an outer edge, and now it depends on whether the inner edge is there... Fengshan, what are your plans?"
Qu Fengshan was in trouble and replied: "Master Xian, but I want to take the next exam..."
Qu Zhongheng shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? The opportunity to practice is rare, why don't you know how to cherish it? It's so easy for you to get into the disciples of an immortal master?"
Zhao Ran smiled and asked: "Why do you want to take the next exam?"
Qu Fengshan said: "I'm not willing to accept it. I only got the second grade in this subject and not the first grade. I really let down my uncle and cousin for their hard work and expectations for many years. I want to repay my uncle and cousin with a number one scholar, but I can't get the number one prize."
, at least I have to get second place or top of the list. I have also thought about it, and added a lot of content on Confucian classics. This time I will focus on the Confucian classics. I don’t believe that I can’t get the top grade in high school!”
Zhao Ran nodded: "I appreciate your intention. Let me ask you again, what do you plan to do after you win the top prize? Become an official?"
Qu Fengshan was stunned for a moment and said after a while: "I never thought about becoming an official..."
Zhao Ran said: "If you don't want to be an official, what's the use of getting the number one scholar? It's just a false name. For a false name, you have to spend another two and a half years, and you will be twenty-two by then. Your cousin is now
In Lou Guan, I entered the Taoist realm last year. After two and a half years, there will be no big problem in entering the Huang Guan realm. If you enter Lou Guan again then, you will be three realms behind your cousin. You need to cross the threshold of cultivation.
You have to go beyond Taoist priests and Taoist priests before you can enter Huangguan. The difference is not even a little bit, so you have to think carefully."
Qu Fengshan stood dumbly for a long time, took a deep breath, and finally prostrated on the ground: "It is extremely stupid to waste your time for the sake of false fame. I understand, I will not take the exam. I beg the immortal master to accept the disciple as his disciple. From now on, I will be willing to
I will serve you and learn the Taoist methods of Lou Guan!"
Zhao Ran said: "I came here this time to take you in, but your teacher is not me. After you enter the building, you will first set your bones, and then worship under my senior brother. When you arrive, you will be ranked third in the door. Okay,
Get ready and follow me back to the Zongsheng Hall."
