Two days later, just when Kong Laosan had just walked out of the village and turned around to say goodbye to the villagers, the Liang Dynasty scholar also came here carrying a book basket. When he heard that Kong Laosan was about to leave, his originally dark face
He was stunned for a moment, then showed a hint of joy without concealing it, and pretended to persuade him to stay. Kong Laosan insisted for a few words, and Liang Dacai stopped trying to persuade him, and found out that Kong Laosan was ready to go back.
When we were in Qingzhou, for some unknown reason, we shamelessly insisted on going to Liyang City, the capital city of Lizhou, at the junction with Kong Laosan, in the name of someone taking care of us on the way.
There are less than three months left before Spring Festival, and this talented Liang scholar needs to go to Qinyang, the capital, to take the exam. It is not too early to start at this time. If he can enter the city a few days in advance, he can become familiar with the environment and atmosphere of Qindu.
On the other hand, you can also visit some scholars and celebrities to accumulate some connections for yourself in the future.
Liyang City is considered an important hub, with official roads extending in all directions connecting various state capitals. Apart from the capital Qinyang, it can be considered the most prosperous city in the empire.
Amidst the blessings of the villagers, the two of them went down the mountain and rushed all the way towards Liyang City. However, before leaving, Kong Laosan crushed a handful of dozens of pill pills and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention.
Throw these pills into the well in the village. Although these pills are just a common disease-repelling elixir in the world of immortality, they are still very effective for these secular mortals. Drinking the well water all year round will not make you live longer.
It is true that he is 100 years old but free from all diseases. This can be regarded as Kong Laosan's repayment to these simple and enthusiastic Bainiu villagers.
Not long after leaving the village, Kong Laosan finally found out the purpose of this Liang great talent inviting him to go to Liyang City, and he suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Haha, brother Kong Fang, I wonder how many copies of Gu Zheng Yuanting's "Three Gu and Four Chapters" and "Seven Characters and Eight Rules" written by everyone have been read? Have you read all of Zhong Daozi's "Travel to the Fang"?
The talented scholar from Liang Dynasty said in a "discussing" tone, but there was no hint of discussion in his expression. It was a bit showy. As for the title "Brother Kong Fang", it was also a bad taste of this talented scholar from Liang Dynasty.
.
"The ancient locust tree over there is three thousand years old. Do you know the origin of this ancient locust tree?"
Seeing that Kong Laosan didn't answer, Liang Dacai didn't take it seriously. He chuckled and continued to speak. He seemed to be getting more and more energetic. He glanced at Kong Laosan beside him and said with a smile.
He continued in a very emotional tone, "It is said that three thousand years ago, when Emperor Taizu of our Great Qin State led his troops to revolt, he was walking here. Suddenly thunder and lightning roared, and it rained heavily. At that time, many soldiers thought this was a warning from heaven.
, so he stopped here and refused to move forward. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, right at this place."
Liang Dacai pointed in the direction of the ancient locust tree, and when he saw Kong Laosan turned around to look at him, his face looked quite proud.
"A thousand-year-old tree was split here, and inside the old tree, a new sapling was exposed to everyone. So Emperor Taizu said that this was an auspicious sign from heaven, and the decayed old tree was the great sapling.
Jin Dynasty, and new tree seedlings are a sign of changing dynasties!
Sure enough, not long after, Emperor Taizu overthrew the Jin Dynasty and established the Qin Kingdom. This tree was also carefully maintained by the government. It has been more than 3,000 years and its branches and leaves are still luxuriant!"
Liang Dacai finished speaking in one breath and seemed to be quite emotional. He glanced at Kong Laosan and saw that the other person's expression was still the same, without the slightest surprise or admiration. He said with some annoyance and disdain, "Humph, I don't even know this. Sure enough,
He is a bastard who has never read a book.”
Hearing this, Kong Laosan was too lazy to pay attention to this white-faced boy, and just hurried on without saying a word.
"By the way, Xun'er has liked those heroes since she was a child. How many of these people have you heard of? Do you know the three great masters and the seven great families in the martial arts in Da Qin today?"
Seeing that Kong Laosan was still dull and silent, Liang Junfu snorted coldly as if to show off, "After this spring, I will prepare to visit these senior warriors in person. In the future, I will definitely become a heroic knight in Xun'er's eyes. If you want to match
To be able to join Xun'er, you must be both civil and military, and not just any cat or dog can have this qualification!"
Perhaps it was because Kong Laosan was thin and frail and looked a little frail. In addition, when he first woke up from a serious injury, even eating was handed to his mouth by Xun'er spoon by spoon. In the eyes of Liang Jun's house, everything was in front of him.
Apart from his good medical skills, this sallow-skinned young man with an ordinary appearance is basically a weakling with no merits.
"Who are these so-called three great leaders?"
Kong Laosan asked a rare question. Seeing Kong Laosan speak, Liang Dacai seemed to be even more enthusiastic, "Oh, even the three great warriors don't know about it? They are really ignorant." The black tiger roars on Crouching Tiger Mountain, and the purple in Tingyuan Pavilion
Dragon travels. Green mountains, white water and a thin line of sky. Dragon and tiger fight together and ghosts will see sorrow!"
After Liang Dacai read out this poem, he hung his head, as if he was waiting for Kong Laosan to ask questions. Seeing this, Kong Laosan didn't bother to think too much, and simply followed the other person's way.
, "The "Black Tiger" and the "Purple Dragon" must be the two great warriors. But who is this Gui Jianchou? Being able to fight two masters alone, this Gui Jianchou's strength has reached its peak, right?"
"That's it, this Gui Jianchou Shenlong has never seen its end. Two years ago in the sky, the two great masters failed to defeat each other with their combined efforts. It was just a tie. The strength of this Gui Jianchou cannot be said to be the best in the martial arts world.
Too much, it is said that our Daqin local government wanted to recruit this person, but has been unable to do so, and now he may have reached the legendary state of being a top grader."
Liang Dacaizi had some potential as a storyteller. While talking, he also gestured with his hands, as if he was seeing it with his own eyes.
"What's the name of this ghost?"
"It is said that the surname is Qian, but no one knows his real name!"
"Surname Qian?"
Hearing this, Kong Laosan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said no more.
More than ten days later, the two finally arrived at the foot of Liyang City. Liyang City is also called Liyang City, Liyuan City, etc., but most people refer to it as Liyang City. Looking at the city wall that is ten feet high and one foot thick,
As well as the city guards wearing black armor and full of blood, even Kong Laosan, who was used to seeing prosperity in his previous life, had to sigh in his heart.
After a month of getting along, the relationship between the two has not improved much. Judging from the vague fear in the eyes of this talented Liang scholar who occasionally looked at Kong Laosan, it was even much colder than before.
Along the way, Liang Dacai chattered endlessly, trying his best to show off his literary talents, and seemed to want Kong Laosan to retreat. Kong Laosan ignored this at all, but since he met a group of robbers halfway on the mountain road outside the city,
, after Kong Laosan used thunderous means to kill them all, Liang Dacai's attitude towards Kong Laosan became completely different. There was a hint of fear, but he became taciturn along the way.
Perhaps because he killed too much, Kong Laosan could clearly feel that even though he saved the other party, the way this talented Liang scholar looked at him was no different from those of those bandits who killed so many people.
Although Kong Laosan said he didn't care at all, he felt a little depressed in his heart.
In mid-February, it was the time for the annual Spring Examination of the Great Qin State. Every year at this time, students from dozens of nearby states gathered here, and then set off from Licheng to various parts of the empire.
.
The Qin Kingdom has a vast territory. In addition to the capital Qinyang, there are eleven other examination centers distributed throughout the empire. Officials specially appointed by the imperial court to take charge of the examinations basically eliminate the possibility of local favoritism and malpractice.
At this time, Pear City is crowded with people in white clothes, some are in small groups, some are admiring themselves, some are talking eloquently, some are drunk alone in the red building, the scholars' shirts and crowns are full of poems, and the flowers in the brothel are flying freely.
As soon as I stepped into the city gate, I was greeted by an extremely noisy atmosphere. As far as I could see, there were green bricks, red tiles, glazed attics, carriages and horses meandering through the world.
The talented scholar Liang was quickly dazzled by the prosperity in front of him. He looked around and his handsome face was flushed with excitement.
"The prosperity of Pear City is unparalleled in the world. I wonder how dazzling the capital of Yujing is! This time, Liang Jun's Mansion will definitely come out on top. If I can win the top prize in high school again, with red robes and black gauze, golden saddles and horses, please call me
Support from behind and make noise with gongs and drums, so that this life will not be wasted."
Looking at the hysterical Liang Jun Mansion, Kong Laosan was too lazy to say anything. After asking around, he headed towards Lijing Avenue, the most lively and prosperous Lijing Avenue in Li City, intending to find an inn to settle down first.
