Chapter 292 You Are the Seed Destined to Become a Immortal (please order in full)
"Normal shit!"
"That's right! As a Jinshi of the present science, I allow Wen Yunwu, if Li Dan doesn't value me, it will be a strange thing. Although it was a custom in Song Dynasty to catch a son-in-law under the list, it is still the same at this moment..."
Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid Bai Gui was, he knew Tang Ruizong Li Dan's thoughts.
None of the Jinshi who can pass the Jinshi department is ugly. Ugly scholars such as Zhong Kui, Wen Tingyun, and Huang Chao have long been screened out, and it is impossible for them to pass the Jinshi department.
And those who can become the number one scholar not only have literary talent, but also appearance talent.
As the saying goes, the wedding night in the bridal chamber and the title of the gold list are two great joys in life, and if pushed to the extreme, you will be the champion son-in-law.Counting the dynasties, there were many champions, but the only one who actually married the princess was Zheng Hao, the champion of the Tang Dynasty.
Zheng Hao was the No. [-] scholar in the third year of Tang Huichang, and he was engaged to Miss Lu's family long ago.But Tang Xuanzong fell in love with Zhuangyuan Lang and wanted to betroth the princess to him, so he asked the prime minister Bai Minzhong to persuade Zheng Hao to marry Princess Wanshou and worship the son-in-law Duwei, but Zheng Hao was not happy after marriage. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't scold him, so Zheng Hao spread his grievances on Prime Minister Bai Minzhong, and made small reports to the emperor all day long, impeaching Prime Minister Bai Minzhong, and Bai Minzhong almost died in Zheng Hao's hands.
"Bai Meihe, Bai Meihe, you and Bai Xiuzhu are married..."
"Although you have a beautiful word in your words, you will be scolded by thousands of people when you become Chen Shimei..."
Bai Gui struggled inwardly.
Although he wanted to eat the soft food of Princess Jinxian, he never thought of becoming the captain-in-law.
The two can be different.
"Brother Daoist Bai, it was Jinxian who was rude last time, and Jinxian underestimated Brother Daoist Bai."
"This compartment... I have made an apology to Daoist Bai."
Princess Jinxian was blushing, she approached the palace lantern standing in the hall, her face was illuminated by a layer of flame light, her plain hand stretched out from her sleeve, holding the exquisite jade cup, the wine was filled with yellowish liquid, she pursed her mouth lightly He took a sip and said.
Through the purple tulle covering the Taoist robe, one can see her fair and beautiful neck swaying slightly.
swallowed.
"Princess, why bother?"
Seeing this scene, Bai Gui sighed lightly, holding the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
You will have to drink three hundred cups.
The brewing technology of the Tang Dynasty was not up to standard, and the drinking was similar to drinking rice wine in later generations. The alcohol content was not high, and it was not easy to get drunk.
"Brother Bai?"
"Zhuangyuan Lang, you obviously didn't receive a talisman to practice Taoism, so there is no ancestral certificate for you in Shangshu Province?"
Princess Yuzhen was a little surprised when she heard Princess Jinxian address Bai Gui.
The dish of the ancestral hall, that is, the ultimatum.
In the Tang Dynasty, monks and nuns were managed by the Temple Department of Shangshu Province. The Temple Department issued monks and Taoist identity certificates, commonly known as certificates, also called Temple Department certificates.
It's just that it's not easy to get a degree certificate, you need to go through a certain assessment, and you can have a degree certificate after you know the scriptures well.Princess Yuzhen would not think that a champion in a new discipline could not pass the examination of the temple department, and it would not be difficult for the top scholar to get the certificate of the temple department.
In the same way, if Bai Gui was a Taoist priest, and a Taoist priest with a ancestral certificate, after he passed the Jinshi Division and won the number one scholar, the news would have spread throughout Chang'an, and it would not be known until now.
"Gui fell seriously ill a few years ago and lived in Youxian Temple in the suburbs of Chang'an..."
"Although I haven't received the talisman, I have listened to Master Chen's preaching in Youxian Temple for many years, and I consider myself a person who cultivates the Tao. Of course, Princess Yuzhen, you can also call me Bai Layman..."
Bai Gui smiled and explained casually.
In the first few days when he came to Chang'an, he was always dressed as a Taoist priest, but he was not a real Taoist priest after all, and he still needed to take a scientific examination, so he changed into ordinary clothes later.Princess Yuzhen didn't see him a few times, so she didn't know that his previous identity was normal.
In ancient times, if the heirs of rich and noble families were sick, they would often live in temples or Taoist temples, hoping for blessings from gods and Buddhas.
A very common phenomenon.
As for Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, the two princesses have already been conferred, and they are real female crowns.
It would be more appropriate to call him Layman Bai.
"Forget it, I'll still be like my sister, call you Daoist Bai."
Princess Yuzhen suddenly replied.
There is only one year difference between Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen. The former is the older sister and the latter is the younger sister. (The order of the two people was wrongly written earlier)
"also may!"
"I plan to go to Haotian to visit Taoism in a few days. I hope that the Lord Hou will accept me as a disciple in the house and teach me to practice Taoism."
"If it doesn't work, I will go to another Taoist temple..."
"Early call or late call is the same."
Bai Gui's heart skipped a beat, he seemed to say it casually, and sighed softly.
Everyone in Youxianguan, whether it is Master Chen or the little Taoist priest Changji, knows that he wants to worship under the Taoist priest Zongsheng Guanhou.Zongsheng Temple is Louguan Road, which was built in Zhongnan Mountain, while Haotian Temple is located in Baoningfang, Chang'an. It used to be the former residence of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. If these royal family children often go to this place to pray for blessings.
Hou Daochang of Zongsheng Temple is the current head of Louguan Taoism, and also leads Haotian Temple.
Hou Daochang's name is Hou Shaowei, and he is a disciple of Yin Wencao, the head of Qianlou Guandao.After Yin Wencao left, Zongsheng Temple and Haotian Temple were in charge of Hou Shaowei.
"Waiting for the Lord?"
"You go with me when the time comes, I still have some friendship with Guanzhu."
"You are the number one scholar in the new discipline, and the Lord Hou will definitely accept you as a disciple..."
When Princess Jinxian heard the "slightly uneasy" in Bai Gui's tone, she immediately remembered her guilt towards Bai Gui, and there was a lot of admiration in it, so she replied immediately after Bai Gui finished speaking.
Of course...she didn't agree completely randomly.
It is also a good thing that Guanzhu Hou accepts an apprentice, and it is a good thing that the number one scholar in civil and military affairs is willing to worship under him. If she doesn't believe it, Guanzhu Hou can still refuse.
"Then I would like to thank Princess Jinxian for this matter."
Bai Gui looked "surprised" for a while, as if he didn't expect Princess Jinxian to say such a thing, but after being stunned for a while, he immediately thanked Princess Jinxian for her kindness.
He moved the chair closer to Princess Jinxian.
The two "dissolved their suspicions" and talked happily.
……
Bai Gui was not in a hurry to go to Haotian Temple.
He is preparing for the official examination.
Because the pass test is set in spring, it is also called spring pass.Candidates who have passed the Jinshi and Mingjing subjects can only be awarded official positions after the Chunguan examination.
For example, Han Yu, although he passed the examination of Jinshi, but failed to pass the examination of Chunguan three times, so he could only go to the governor to work as an aide.
The official of the official department is Song Jing, an old acquaintance.
The Ministry of Officials Examination is not like the Jinshi Examination, which examines policy theory, poetry and prose, but body, speech, writing, and judgment.
The content of the assessment is not difficult for Bai Gui, a historical master.
All examinations were successfully passed.
He was selected as the school secretary by Song Jing, a heavenly official from the Ministry of Officials.
"Scholar?"
After receiving the official seal and official uniform, Bai Gui let out a surprise.
"What? You're not satisfied?"
"I still have county lieutenants from Chang'an County and Wannian County, which are temporarily absent. You can go there..."
Song Jing squinted at Bai Gui, stroked her long beard, and said with a smile.
"The school secretary is a noble job, so I can choose to be recorded here."
"It's Song Xiangxiang's appreciation..."
"The officer is very satisfied."
Bai Gui thanked him.
Xiaoshulang is a sesame mung bean official of the ninth rank, and his official rank is from the lower rank of the ninth rank to the upper rank of the ninth rank.The department of work is in the secretary province, the original meaning of the province is the imperial palace, and the secretarial province is the ancient library and library, which is responsible for managing all the books of the country.
As for the school secretary of the Secretary's Ministry, his usual job is "to be in charge of the school's classics and to correct errors."
More popular, it is editing, proofreading books and participating in the compilation of history books.
Also known as the "librarian"!
As for the county lieutenant in Chang'an County or Wannian County, the lowest level is the official position of the seventh grade. After all, Chang'an City is divided into Wannian County and Chang'an County on the axis of Suzaku Avenue, which is equivalent to the county magistrate of the capital. This official rank cannot be low. Where to go.
But the county lieutenants and county magistrates of the two counties can't compare with the school secretary at all!
Far from it!
If you want to become Secretary Lang, you must be from Kedi and have a reputation.But it is not enough to have fame, one must also be excellent in character and learning, and have a good pass in the examination to have the opportunity to hold this official position.
"In response to the Kaiyuan ceremony and academics who have been admitted to the imperial examinations, the old rules are based on the ranks, and the talents are judged... From now on, the ranks are slightly higher, and those who are excellent in literature, please be corrected and corrected..." —— "Tang Hui Yao"
At this time, there was a person who was serving as the school clerk. Jinglong was a Jinshi in his early years, that is, three or four years ago, he passed the Jinshi exam and became Tanhualang. Tanhualang must be a handsome guy to be able to take the position. Later, after the official examination, he became a School secretary.
This person is the youngest of the prime ministers of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling!
In the first year of Yuanhe, after Bai Juyi passed the Jinshi examination, he also went to the secretary province to work as a school secretary.
Being able to become a school secretary is almost equivalent to entering the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, and having the qualifications to become a court elder and a minister.
"Since you are satisfied, go to the secretary province to take up a post in seven days."
"By the way, this is your salary..."
Song Jing nodded and smiled lightly.
He admired Bai Gui, not only in literature, but also in martial arts.If it's just literature, there is not much shortage of champion Lang Datang like Bai Gui, but with the blessing of Wu, he is a rare talent.
As he said, he put a sling of money on the wooden case where Bai Gui was holding the official uniform and official seal.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Song."
The corner of Bai Gui's mouth twitched slightly, and he saluted to thank him.
Xiaoshulang is a nine-rank sesame official and an idle position. His salary is only 52 shi of grain per year, and if the monthly salary is converted into copper coins, the money he receives every month is less than two yuan.
Although the national power of the Tang Dynasty was declining at this time, the price of rice in Chang'an was not very expensive, and it fluctuated around [-] yuan per bucket.
Money has always had a strong purchasing power.
It's the middle of this month, so it's very appropriate to give him a penny.
Come out from the official department.
Bai Gui rode his horse through the city streets, and he arrived at Jinxian Temple from time to time.
Soon, there was a gate leading the horse for him, leading the horse to the stable, as if he was used to it.
Living in Chang'an is not easy!
So after the dinner in Linde Hall, he temporarily stayed in Jinxian Temple.
The Jinxian Temple is said to be a Taoist temple, but it was actually built according to the specifications of a princess mansion, with many rooms and a large scale.So there is no shortage of him in this room. He was Princess Jinxian's retainer at first, but as a retainer, he is a bit powerful, so he doesn't seem like a retainer...
As a guest, it is reasonable and reasonable to spend the night in a powerful family.
Not long after he walked in, he ran into Princess Jinxian who was about to leave.
"Brother Bai, have you passed the official examination?"
Seeing that Bai Gui had an official seal on his belt and was holding an official uniform in his hand, Princess Jinxian asked.
"Yes, Prime Minister Song chose me to be the school secretary."
"It's all thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's kind words to me..."
Bai Gui replied.
What is flattery to the powerful? It's too vulgar to say it directly face to face.But once he said this to Princess Jinxian, and Princess Jinxian said it to Li Longji, he would immediately be in the emperor's heart.
Unknowingly and subtly.
Song Jing is a member of Li Longji, so he bluntly thanked Li Longji, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Then Pindao will call you Secretary Bai from now on."
Immediately, another old man with white hair came out from the Chaoshou verandah, and said with a smile.
The secretary province set up three secretary lang, from the sixth rank.
It is also acceptable to call Bai Xiaoshu directly, but... the folks often refer to Jiaofangsi's famous prostitute as female school secretary, so it seems a bit inappropriate to call Bai Xiaoshu, so most of the time they add the word "secretary" to their name.
One is the secretary provincial school clerk, and there is nothing wrong with calling the secretary. The other is that the secretary lang manages the post of the school clerk, just like calling the principal and deputy. It is always pleasant to call the principal.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Master Shi... I'll call you fellow Daoist Bai."
Bai Gui hesitated for a moment, then replied.
Whether it's Secretary Bai or School Secretary Bai, it always feels like others are taking advantage of him.
"That's right, although Daoist Bai chose to be recruited as the Secretary of the Ministry."
"But not formally appointed yet."
"The historian should still call Brother Bai Daoist Bai."
Princess Jinxian thought for a while.
"Since the princess has spoken, I will continue to call fellow daoist Bai Daoist Bai."
"It's just a pity. I thought Fellow Daoist Bai would take up a post at Honglu Temple. I've been looking forward to it for a long time..."
Shi Chongxuan narrowed his eyes and said.
He is Hongluqing, and Hongluqing is the chief official of Honglu Temple.
"Let Master Shi down."
Bai Gui could smell gunpowder from Shi Chongxuan's tone.
Shi Chongxuan was the former disciple of Princess Taiping, and with his ability, he would definitely not be able to reach the position of Minister of Honglu Temple.
"It seems that Princess Taiping and Li Longji fought again when it came to the position of Jinshi in the new department."
"This time Princess Taiping failed."
he secretly said.
"You see the princess is in a hurry..."
"Where does the princess plan to go?"
Bai Gui took the opportunity to ask and changed the subject.
"It's nothing important, but Chen Guogong's wife invited me to enjoy the flowers together."
"Now that you have passed the official examination, it is better to hit the sun... I will take you to the Zongsheng Temple and meet the waiter."
"Why don't the historians go together?"
Princess Jinxian thought for a while and said.
"Since the princess is interested, Pindao is willing to accompany her."
Shi Chongxuan made a speech.
Bai Gui also had everything he could do, so he happily went with him.
The importance of the bureaucratic examination to Jinshi of the new department is self-evident. Although he is inclined to practice Taoism immediately in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, he is tantamount to grasping the small and magnifying, getting sesame seeds and leaking watermelons.
So there was a little delay.
Now he can be regarded as successful and famous, and he can be regarded as an official, even though he is a ninth-rank sesame official.But going to Zongsheng Temple at this time will undoubtedly add a lot of confidence.
Although he was the champion of the double rankings, he was only a reserve official.
Taoist priests, Taoist priests, one way and one priest, the two are indispensable.
Haotian Temple is located in Baoningfang.
Not far from Shengyefang, a group of people rode horses and sat in sedan chairs, and arrived in a short time.
"Pindao pays homage to Princess Jinxian."
At the gate of Zongsheng Temple, a middle-aged Taoist priest saluted with a whisk in his hand.
Knowing that Princess Jinxian went to Haotian to pay homage, even though he has a high status and is a royal priest, the princess is a princess after all, and he is a first-rank princess, so he would greet him at the door as usual.
"Pindao has met Hou Guanzhu."
"The poor Taoist has met the waiter."
"The lower official has met the waiter."
Princess Jinxian, Shi Chongxuan, and Bai Gui greeted each other.
Although Hou Shaowei is not an official like Shi Chongxuan, Dr. Jiayin Qing Guanglu is a third-rank loose official. Although it is only a vacant position, he is six rank higher than his school secretary.
"Master Dongxuan, Fellow Daoist Shi, and this..."
Hou Shao nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Bai Gui, and he hesitated for a while.
I don't know who Bai Gui is.
Although Master Chen from Youxian Temple recommended Bai Gui, he has a lot of things to do every day, and he will not accept disciples easily. He just said that he will investigate for a while first, and he has no time to see Xiaodaotong from Youxian Temple. Gui's appearance felt strange at first glance.
"Xiaguan used to live in Youxian Temple. He was a Taoist boy of Youxian Temple. His surname is Bai Minggui. He has always admired the Lord Waiting..."
"This time I come to worship the teacher, I still hope that the viewer will agree."
Seeing Hou Shaowei's expression, Bai Gui knew that he had made the right move.
How can ordinary people have the opportunity to meet the head of Lou Guan Tao like Hou Shaowei? It can only be that the head of Lou Guan Tao took you as an apprentice on a whim. .
The initiative is not in my own hands, and it is impossible to say that I can worship whoever I want as a teacher.
But..., if you have an identity.
That's not a problem!
At this moment, he can face Hou Shaowei, the head of Lou Guan Dao, and even bring Princess Jinxian to meet him.
Fate cannot be bumped, you have to grasp it yourself.
One is fate, two is luck, three is geomantic omen, four is accumulation of yin virtue, and five is reading.
Change your destiny first, then seek opportunities!
Otherwise, there will be no fate!
"Apprentice?"
Hou Shaowei was taken aback for a moment, looked at Bai Gui carefully, and suddenly had an impression.
Last year, he had heard that Master Chen from the Immortal Temple recommended Bai Gui, but although he had heard that Master Chen had praised Bai Gui, his status was unusual, so he would not accept disciples easily, so he planned to wait a few days. Going to see him again next year, if the young man is still persevering, then he will make an exception to accept him as an apprentice.
But...unexpectedly, this young man actually met him in person and begged him to accept him as an apprentice.
This is beyond his expectation!
In hundreds of thousands of years, nothing like this has ever happened.
"Hou Guanzhu, Daoist Bai is the number one scholar in the new discipline this year, and also ranked first in the martial arts department. He has just been selected as secretary and provincial school secretary in the official examination."
"You can see his talent!"
"If the waiter is willing to accept Daoist Bai as an apprentice, the poor Taoist is willing to donate three Huangzhuang and three thousand pieces of gold to Haotian Temple."
Princess Jinxian opened her red lips lightly, begging.
Her three thousand gold was not the ten thousand gold that Li Dan rewarded Baigui, but the real 3000 taels of gold.
"what?"
"No. [-] scholar in Jinshi? No. [-] in martial arts? Just been selected as the school secretary?"
Hou Shao was stunned for a moment, and looked surprised at Bai Gui's eyes. Being able to achieve this level is indeed enough to prove his talent, and with this qualification, there will be countless prosperity and wealth in the future, and he can still come to worship him as a teacher. It is indeed not easy to plan to practice Taoism.
"You have a very strong heart!"
"It can be seen that the heart is devoted to the Tao..."
"However, if you are poor, you have to look at your fortune first to see if you have the opportunity to practice Taoism."
"Otherwise, it would be the fault of the poor who missed your great future..."
Hou Shaowei held back the excitement in his heart. If the number one scholar in civil and military affairs can choose to worship under him, no matter how he cultivates Taoism, his mood will be calm, and he will inevitably be fluctuated.
Similarly, Bai Gui threatened to worship under his name a few years ago.
Now that he has achieved success and fame, he still does not change his original intention. Even if he has a heart of stone, he is still moved by this.
It's just that he is a man of integrity and cannot rashly agree to this matter.
Monasticism is all about fate.
Although it is said that to become the number one scholar, one is a Wenqu star descending to earth, and cultivating the Tao is definitely enough, but just in case, he is a dead seed who cannot enter the Tao.
Taoism accepts apprentices, and apprentices are equivalent to their own sons.
I won't take it lightly.
"Blessings are profound..."
"You are a true fairy seed destined to become a fairy..."
Hou Shaowei fixed his eyes and felt surprised, and couldn't help but said.
(End of this chapter)
"Normal shit!"
"That's right! As a Jinshi of the present science, I allow Wen Yunwu, if Li Dan doesn't value me, it will be a strange thing. Although it was a custom in Song Dynasty to catch a son-in-law under the list, it is still the same at this moment..."

If you want to become Secretary Lang, you must be from Kedi and have a reputation.But it is not enough to have fame, one must also be excellent in character and learning, and have a good pass in the examination to have the opportunity to hold this official position.
"In response to the Kaiyuan ceremony and academics who have been admitted to the imperial examinations, the old rules are based on the ranks, and the talents are judged... From now on, the ranks are slightly higher, and those who are excellent in literature, please be corrected and corrected..." —— "Tang Hui Yao"
At this time, there was a person who was serving as the school clerk. Jinglong was a Jinshi in his early years, that is, three or four years ago, he passed the Jinshi exam and became Tanhualang. Tanhualang must be a handsome guy to be able to take the position. Later, after the official examination, he became a School secretary.
This person is the youngest of the prime ministers of Kaiyuan, Zhang Jiuling!
In the first year of Yuanhe, after Bai Juyi passed the Jinshi examination, he also went to the secretary province to work as a school secretary.
Being able to become a school secretary is almost equivalent to entering the Imperial Academy in the Ming Dynasty, and having the qualifications to become a court elder and a minister.
"Since you are satisfied, go to the secretary province to take up a post in seven days."
"By the way, this is your salary..."
Song Jing nodded and smiled lightly.
He admired Bai Gui, not only in literature, but also in martial arts.If it's just literature, there is not much shortage of champion Lang Datang like Bai Gui, but with the blessing of Wu, he is a rare talent.
As he said, he put a sling of money on the wooden case where Bai Gui was holding the official uniform and official seal.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Song."
The corner of Bai Gui's mouth twitched slightly, and he saluted to thank him.
Xiaoshulang is a nine-rank sesame official and an idle position. His salary is only 52 shi of grain per year, and if the monthly salary is converted into copper coins, the money he receives every month is less than two yuan.
Although the national power of the Tang Dynasty was declining at this time, the price of rice in Chang'an was not very expensive, and it fluctuated around [-] yuan per bucket.
Money has always had a strong purchasing power.
It's the middle of this month, so it's very appropriate to give him a penny.
Come out from the official department.
Bai Gui rode his horse through the city streets, and he arrived at Jinxian Temple from time to time.
Soon, there was a gate leading the horse for him, leading the horse to the stable, as if he was used to it.
Living in Chang'an is not easy!
So after the dinner in Linde Hall, he temporarily stayed in Jinxian Temple.
The Jinxian Temple is said to be a Taoist temple, but it was actually built according to the specifications of a princess mansion, with many rooms and a large scale.So there is no shortage of him in this room. He was Princess Jinxian's retainer at first, but as a retainer, he is a bit powerful, so he doesn't seem like a retainer...
As a guest, it is reasonable and reasonable to spend the night in a powerful family.
Not long after he walked in, he ran into Princess Jinxian who was about to leave.
"Brother Bai, have you passed the official examination?"
Seeing that Bai Gui had an official seal on his belt and was holding an official uniform in his hand, Princess Jinxian asked.
"Yes, Prime Minister Song chose me to be the school secretary."
"It's all thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's kind words to me..."
Bai Gui replied.
What is flattery to the powerful? It's too vulgar to say it directly face to face.But once he said this to Princess Jinxian, and Princess Jinxian said it to Li Longji, he would immediately be in the emperor's heart.
Unknowingly and subtly.
Song Jing is a member of Li Longji, so he bluntly thanked Li Longji, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Then Pindao will call you Secretary Bai from now on."
Immediately, another old man with white hair came out from the Chaoshou verandah, and said with a smile.
The secretary province set up three secretary lang, from the sixth rank.
It is also acceptable to call Bai Xiaoshu directly, but... the folks often refer to Jiaofangsi's famous prostitute as female school secretary, so it seems a bit inappropriate to call Bai Xiaoshu, so most of the time they add the word "secretary" to their name.
One is the secretary provincial school clerk, and there is nothing wrong with calling the secretary. The other is that the secretary lang manages the post of the school clerk, just like calling the principal and deputy. It is always pleasant to call the principal.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Master Shi... I'll call you fellow Daoist Bai."
Bai Gui hesitated for a moment, then replied.
Whether it's Secretary Bai or School Secretary Bai, it always feels like others are taking advantage of him.
"That's right, although Daoist Bai chose to be recruited as the Secretary of the Ministry."
"But not formally appointed yet."
"The historian should still call Brother Bai Daoist Bai."
Princess Jinxian thought for a while.
"Since the princess has spoken, I will continue to call fellow daoist Bai Daoist Bai."
"It's just a pity. I thought Fellow Daoist Bai would take up a post at Honglu Temple. I've been looking forward to it for a long time..."
Shi Chongxuan narrowed his eyes and said.
He is Hongluqing, and Hongluqing is the chief official of Honglu Temple.
"Let Master Shi down."
Bai Gui could smell gunpowder from Shi Chongxuan's tone.
Shi Chongxuan was the former disciple of Princess Taiping, and with his ability, he would definitely not be able to reach the position of Minister of Honglu Temple.
"It seems that Princess Taiping and Li Longji fought again when it came to the position of Jinshi in the new department."
"This time Princess Taiping failed."
he secretly said.
"You see the princess is in a hurry..."
"Where does the princess plan to go?"
Bai Gui took the opportunity to ask and changed the subject.
"It's nothing important, but Chen Guogong's wife invited me to enjoy the flowers together."
"Now that you have passed the official examination, it is better to hit the sun... I will take you to the Zongsheng Temple and meet the waiter."
"Why don't the historians go together?"
Princess Jinxian thought for a while and said.
"Since the princess is interested, Pindao is willing to accompany her."
Shi Chongxuan made a speech.
Bai Gui also had everything he could do, so he happily went with him.
The importance of the bureaucratic examination to Jinshi of the new department is self-evident. Although he is inclined to practice Taoism immediately in his heart, in the eyes of outsiders, he is tantamount to grasping the small and magnifying, getting sesame seeds and leaking watermelons.
So there was a little delay.
Now he can be regarded as successful and famous, and he can be regarded as an official, even though he is a ninth-rank sesame official.But going to Zongsheng Temple at this time will undoubtedly add a lot of confidence.
Although he was the champion of the double rankings, he was only a reserve official.
Taoist priests, Taoist priests, one way and one priest, the two are indispensable.
Haotian Temple is located in Baoningfang.
Not far from Shengyefang, a group of people rode horses and sat in sedan chairs, and arrived in a short time.
"Pindao pays homage to Princess Jinxian."
At the gate of Zongsheng Temple, a middle-aged Taoist priest saluted with a whisk in his hand.
Knowing that Princess Jinxian went to Haotian to pay homage, even though he has a high status and is a royal priest, the princess is a princess after all, and he is a first-rank princess, so he would greet him at the door as usual.
"Pindao has met Hou Guanzhu."
"The poor Taoist has met the waiter."
"The lower official has met the waiter."
Princess Jinxian, Shi Chongxuan, and Bai Gui greeted each other.
Although Hou Shaowei is not an official like Shi Chongxuan, Dr. Jiayin Qing Guanglu is a third-rank loose official. Although it is only a vacant position, he is six rank higher than his school secretary.
"Master Dongxuan, Fellow Daoist Shi, and this..."
Hou Shao nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Bai Gui, and he hesitated for a while.
I don't know who Bai Gui is.
Although Master Chen from Youxian Temple recommended Bai Gui, he has a lot of things to do every day, and he will not accept disciples easily. He just said that he will investigate for a while first, and he has no time to see Xiaodaotong from Youxian Temple. Gui's appearance felt strange at first glance.
"Xiaguan used to live in Youxian Temple. He was a Taoist boy of Youxian Temple. His surname is Bai Minggui. He has always admired the Lord Waiting..."
"This time I come to worship the teacher, I still hope that the viewer will agree."
Seeing Hou Shaowei's expression, Bai Gui knew that he had made the right move.
How can ordinary people have the opportunity to meet the head of Lou Guan Tao like Hou Shaowei? It can only be that the head of Lou Guan Tao took you as an apprentice on a whim. .
The initiative is not in my own hands, and it is impossible to say that I can worship whoever I want as a teacher.
But..., if you have an identity.
That's not a problem!
At this moment, he can face Hou Shaowei, the head of Lou Guan Dao, and even bring Princess Jinxian to meet him.
Fate cannot be bumped, you have to grasp it yourself.
One is fate, two is luck, three is geomantic omen, four is accumulation of yin virtue, and five is reading.
Change your destiny first, then seek opportunities!
Otherwise, there will be no fate!
"Apprentice?"
Hou Shaowei was taken aback for a moment, looked at Bai Gui carefully, and suddenly had an impression.
Last year, he had heard that Master Chen from the Immortal Temple recommended Bai Gui, but although he had heard that Master Chen had praised Bai Gui, his status was unusual, so he would not accept disciples easily, so he planned to wait a few days. Going to see him again next year, if the young man is still persevering, then he will make an exception to accept him as an apprentice.
But...unexpectedly, this young man actually met him in person and begged him to accept him as an apprentice.
This is beyond his expectation!
In hundreds of thousands of years, nothing like this has ever happened.
"Hou Guanzhu, Daoist Bai is the number one scholar in the new discipline this year, and also ranked first in the martial arts department. He has just been selected as secretary and provincial school secretary in the official examination."
"You can see his talent!"
"If the waiter is willing to accept Daoist Bai as an apprentice, the poor Taoist is willing to donate three Huangzhuang and three thousand pieces of gold to Haotian Temple."
Princess Jinxian opened her red lips lightly, begging.
Her three thousand gold was not the ten thousand gold that Li Dan rewarded Baigui, but the real 3000 taels of gold.
"what?"
"No. [-] scholar in Jinshi? No. [-] in martial arts? Just been selected as the school secretary?"
Hou Shao was stunned for a moment, and looked surprised at Bai Gui's eyes. Being able to achieve this level is indeed enough to prove his talent, and with this qualification, there will be countless prosperity and wealth in the future, and he can still come to worship him as a teacher. It is indeed not easy to plan to practice Taoism.
"You have a very strong heart!"
"It can be seen that the heart is devoted to the Tao..."
"However, if you are poor, you have to look at your fortune first to see if you have the opportunity to practice Taoism."
"Otherwise, it would be the fault of the poor who missed your great future..."
Hou Shaowei held back the excitement in his heart. If the number one scholar in civil and military affairs can choose to worship under him, no matter how he cultivates Taoism, his mood will be calm, and he will inevitably be fluctuated.
Similarly, Bai Gui threatened to worship under his name a few years ago.
Now that he has achieved success and fame, he still does not change his original intention. Even if he has a heart of stone, he is still moved by this.
It's just that he is a man of integrity and cannot rashly agree to this matter.
Monasticism is all about fate.
Although it is said that to become the number one scholar, one is a Wenqu star descending to earth, and cultivating the Tao is definitely enough, but just in case, he is a dead seed who cannot enter the Tao.
Taoism accepts apprentices, and apprentices are equivalent to their own sons.
I won't take it lightly.
"Blessings are profound..."
"You are a true fairy seed destined to become a fairy..."
Hou Shaowei fixed his eyes and felt surprised, and couldn't help but said.
