The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 509 Third-Class Disciple, True Immortal Is Alive (ask for a monthly ticket)
Learn literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.

From ancient times to the present, it has been the dream of scholars.

Liu Yi is no exception.

What's so good about being a wandering Taoist priest, like Bai Gui, I don't know if there is a ancestral hall or not.If there is no Taoism to settle down, it is better to abandon Taoism and follow Confucianism, and become a Confucian student to obtain fame.

Bai Gui was noncommittal.

He had just resigned from Chang'an, if he hadn't resigned, he would have been the Minister of Six Departments now.Even if he resigns, he is still the duke Liu of the imperial court, a first-rank official....

Seeing that Bai Gui didn't answer, Liu Yi was not puzzled.

Everyone has aspirations.

It is also common in the secular world to become a monk for Taoism and not to be an official.

Liu Yi paid for two bowls of plain noodles, and then brought Bai Gui back to Liu's house.The Liu family was poor, with only two shabby rooms.In order to entertain the distinguished guests, Liu Yi gave up his bedroom to Bai Gui, and slept in the firewood room.

"My great-grandfather used to be a county magistrate. Later, his family fell into poverty and moved to Sanxing Town. When my grandfather was still able to eat three meals a day, when my father was born, his family was in decline and he could only live on farming."

"My father passed away in the early years, and my mother worked hard to raise me, sold my property, and moved here. The property obtained from the sale was also used for my studies..."

"Now I'm alone..."

Liu Yi sighed slightly and talked about his family background.

The two shabby rooms were not the residence of his Liu family at first, but the family was in decline, and after being sold, they moved here and built a house by themselves.

It is not easy to raise a full-time scholar.Pens, inks, papers and inkstones all cost money. Even if the Four Books and Five Classics are printed in large quantities, the price is cheap, but the interpretation of the Confucian classics has to be bought again, which is not cheap.The county school is a government school, and the enrollment is not high, but it is not very low.

Calculated from a sum of money, Liu Yi's study fee alone is enough for an ordinary family of three to live frugally for more than ten years.

It is not a lie that reading can lead to poverty.

"Brother Liu, don't underestimate yourself."

"The farmhouse is nothing more than floating wealth. The magistrate has a good idea to let you study in the county school. Even if brother Liu has never been in high school and is a teacher, this farmhouse can be bought again."

"Besides, as long as Brother Liu is in high school, the money will come naturally."

Bai Gui said broadly.

Liu Yi was somewhat similar to the Tian Xiucai he had seen before.Tian Xiucai is Tian Xiaoe's father.After being selected as a scholar, he has been working hard for Zhongjuren, and has nothing to do with production.But Liu Yi is also different from Tian Xiucai.Liu Yi is still young, and he still has a few years to work hard.Tian Xiucai has been wasted for decades, and it is just a dream.

As for Mother Liu's thoughts, it is not difficult to understand.

Many people who bought houses in first-tier cities in later generations bought houses for the education and study of their children in the future.But the money to buy a house is several million. If you save a little, it is enough for ordinary people to squander their lives.

It can only be said that this kind of thing is a matter of opinion.

Liu's mother's dream is to let Liu Yi regain the family lintel, not to eat and wait to die.

Liu Yi nodded.

He walked into the dormitory, thought about it, lit the oil lamp, and asked Bai Gui for advice.

Given his current situation, he could save as much as he could.Oil lamps consume oil. He used to read books at night and recite scriptures silently under the moonlight, and he would not deliberately waste lamp oil.

But now that Bai Gui is teaching him his knowledge, if he let Bai Gui read books by moonlight with him, he would be a little sassy.

Bai Gui had the experience of teaching Li Tai and began to guide Liu Yi patiently.

The favor of a meal is nothing, but Liu Yi's attitude is very good.It is a good thing for him to guide Liu Yi's knowledge by hand.

In addition, he also wanted to use Liu Yi's identity to visit Samsung Town.

If Liu Yi was awarded the status of Gongsheng, then his status in Xiangchu County would definitely increase.

Going in and out of your door is just a matter of nostalgia.

Old scholars are worthless, but young scholars are highly appreciated.

And as the teacher who guides Liu Yi, he will also be more sought after and become a guest of the rich and famous.

……

The January period will arrive soon.

In front of Liu's house, Bai Gui is meditating with his eyes closed and his breathing adjusted.He has been shutting himself out these days.In the evening, he taught Liu Yi about his knowledge, and in the daytime, he re-gathered gas to refine mana.

After a month of hard work, he was finally able to move some mana in his body.Not much, less than one-thousandth.At most, he could perform a small magical channeling technique.

"The mana master imprisoned me is to let me experience the way of Qi training again."

"The breathing of being a mortal and the breathing of becoming a fairy seem to be the same, but there are more things to understand."

Bai Gui thought to himself.

At this time, he gradually realized that the Taishang Laojun imprisoned his mana, but he did not completely imprison him.The purpose is to let him re-understand the way of Qi training, to open up the Qi aperture for Yangshen, and to lay the foundation.

"Bai Daoist..."

"Master Bai."

Liu Yi's voice came from far and near.

Bai Gui looked up.

Liu Yi ran from a distance, his thin and thin body was out of breath, and ran up to Bai Gui, out of breath, "Bai Daoist, I'm going to take the internal examination today. Although the results haven't come out yet, but after reading the test questions, I'm done. I'm sure, the top spot may be hard to come by, but No.2 should be possible..."

In fact, under the guidance of Bai Gui these days, his knowledge has improved a lot.But he can't say enough. Although he was sure of being the first in the county school examination, he still humbled a lot in front of Bai Gui, saying that he should be able to get No.2.

The results of the county school examination will be released in about two to three days.

Yet at this moment.

A middle-aged man dressed as a butler came over with a group of servants holding sticks.

"Liu Yi!"

"My Alang told you to avoid my wife. How dare you order Xiao He to send a letter to my wife today."

"A Lang speaks, and I will break your dog's leg."

"I hope Liu Lang-jun will not make it difficult for us servants."

The housekeeper of the Shi family scolded at first, and then said some soft words.

"Looking at a leopard in a tube, you know autumn by seeing a leaf."

"The housekeeper of the Shi family seems to be a good talker, but he put all the blame for beating Liu Yi on Alang of the Shi family..."

Seeing this scene, Bai Gui thought to himself.

Alang is the servant's name for the male master of the family.

"Steward Shi, I have something to say."

"Why do you have to be insulting?"

"Gan Yan and I are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, when your Shi family was down and down, Gan Dang and I were considered close friends..."

Liu Yi's face turned pale first.

But when he thought of Shi Gandang being so domineering, he couldn't help scolding him.

He can bear to dislike the poor and love the rich.

Most people in the world are like this.The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, but the poor have no one in the downtown.But Shi Gandang actually ordered his servants to break his legs, which is tolerable or unbearable.

These four articles are the regulations for the admission of imperial examinations.

If his legs were broken, at least in terms of "body", he would definitely be dismissed.This is going to ruin his future.

"When I first met Daoist Bai, Daoist Bai said that my seal was black and I must be in danger of disaster in the near future."

"Now it seems that the disaster came from the Shi family."

Liu Yi took a deep breath.

But today is different.

He encountered a disaster, but with the help of noble people, this disaster may be overcome.

"Today, the head of the county school took the personal test, and he was listed as a first-class in the next test paper. The results will be released in a few days. In the future, he will definitely be able to win the township tribute in the township test..."

Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said.

Immediately afterwards, he was stern again, and shouted: "If you hit me today, it's not a big deal to hurt me."

"According to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, those who hurt the tribute of the hometown, the whole family will travel three thousand miles."

"How dare you wait?"

As a student of the county school, he has long known the benefits of being a village tribute student.At this time, his grades were ranked first, and he would definitely be recommended to the state capital to participate in the provincial examination.The township examination is just another examination by the state government to prevent people from cheating for personal gain.The people who really decide the number of tribute students are the county schools in each county.Of course, the state capital also has them, but the state capital generally will not refute the quota submitted by the county school.

The servants of the Shi family looked at each other in blank dismay, the hand holding the stick stopped and did not dare to move.

They dare not gamble.

If what Liu Yi said is true, the Shi family may be exempt from punishment in the future, but these servants will definitely be pushed out and used as scapegoats...

"Liu Lang-jun, forget about today's matter."

"If my Shi family finds out that what you said is false, then..."

Butler Shi stared at Liu Yi for a few times, hurting Liu Yi was a trivial matter, and he could do it, but if Liu Yi really became a village tribute student, officials and officials protected each other, and the grassroots bullied the tribute students, no government would end well wherever he went In the end, nothing will happen to Shi Gandang, but he is not sure.

He hesitated for a while, but still didn't let go of his harsh words, and left with his servants.

"Today Liu Yi realized that what Daoist Bai said was true."

"If my knowledge doesn't improve, even if I can escape the beating today, I won't be able to escape tomorrow or the day after..."

Liu Yi started, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Bai Gui.

Healed in two days.

The county school released the list, Liu Yijia and others ranked first.

Shi Gandang led many servants and came to the door with many gifts.

"Brother Liu!"

"In the past, I misunderstood you. I thought that you, brother Liu, were lazy and lazy, and that you wasted all the painstaking efforts of your aunt, so I repeatedly obstructed you and the things you dared to say. But today, I saw brother Liu's high school honor list, so I know you, brother Liu. They are dragons and phoenixes in the world, not things in the pool..."

Shi Gandang was dressed in a fine attire with a golden longevity lock.

He held Liu Yi's hand and kept greeting.

Although Liu Yi knows that Shi Gandang dislikes the poor and loves the rich, there is some truth to what Shi Gandang said after listening carefully. Moreover, he likes Shi Gandang, not Shi Gandang.So Shi Gandang sincerely apologized to him, and he would not pretend to be lofty to refuse.

"Liu Yi is relying on Daoist Bai."

"If Daoist Bai hadn't been teaching me about my knowledge these days, I'm afraid I would have failed the ranking again this year."

Liu Yi didn't dare to be greedy for credit, so he told about Bai Gui's advice to him.

"Daoist?"

Shi Gandang was outside the court before, he didn't notice anyone in the room, when he looked in, he saw a young Taoist meditating, his fairy appearance is like a celestial being exiled from the world.

Not a mortal.

"A Taoist priest who can teach Liu Yi's knowledge is absolutely no small matter!"

he secretly said.

Knowledge cannot come out of thin air.

Bai Gui's ability to teach Liu Yi's knowledge means that Bai Gui has a deeper knowledge of Confucian classics.Then it is conceivable that Bai Gui's identity is by no means an ordinary person.

"Sanxing Township Shi Gandang pays homage to Daoist Bai."

Shi Gandang didn't dare to regain his carefree temper, and bowed his hands to Bai Gui to salute.

It's true that he likes to bully the weak, but he is also a bully.Bai Gui's knowledge, as well as his attire, he could tell at a glance that he was by no means an ordinary commoner.

Therefore, will be so respectful.

Bai Gui sat up in meditation and returned a salute, "The poor Taoist wanders around here and temporarily lives in the Liu family. I don't know why you are looking for the poor Taoist?"

Shi Gandang just listened to Liu Yi's words and came to see him.

But when he changed his words, it seemed that Shi Gan had come to ask him to do something.

With a single word, a trap was set.

Shi Gandang rolled his eyes, and said again: "Although members of Taoist Priest's family can live in this hut, I feel that this hut has wronged you, Taoist Priest. There are many empty rooms in my Shi family. My mother has always believed in it, Huang Daxian is my godfather, why don't Taoist priests stay in my Shi family for a while..."

He felt that if Bai Gui's study of the Confucian classics was so good, then the old profession of Taoist priests must be good.The Taoist priests in the nearby Taoist temple are definitely different from Bai Gui in front of him.

Furthermore, his Nuoda family business was managed by his godfather Huang Daxian.So he has always respected the Tao, and the Bai Gui in front of him is a true cultivator, and it is the right thing to enshrine at home.His mother is also a believer, if Bai Guiruo goes, not only can he pray for his mother, but also make his father Huang Daxian happy.

Liu Yi wanted to stop it.

But after thinking about it, Bai Gui has been wronged a lot by temporarily living in his shabby room.Shi Gan's family has a great career, and the living and food are much better than his shabby room.

He really had no reason to let Bai Gui stay at his home again.

Moreover, if Bai Gui lived in Shi's house temporarily, wouldn't he be able to enter and leave Shi's house in the name of asking for advice, then the chances for him to meet Shi Ganyan would also increase.

"To travel on poor roads, you must have a BMW car."

Bai Gui put forward the conditions.

"It's natural."

Shi Gandang said with a smile on his face.

"Eat in a poor way, you must have twelve dishes for each meal, delicacies from mountains and seas, steamed, fried and stewed, all of which are indispensable."

Bai Gui said again.

Twelve courses? !
Shi Gandang was taken aback.

Even for him, his daily diet might not be enough for twelve dishes.Moreover, these twelve dishes also require conditions such as delicacies from mountains and seas.It can be said that a meal will cost more than 20 yuan.

This is not a small amount.

He glanced at Liu Yi suspiciously.

In Liu Yi's family, not to mention twelve delicacies from mountains and seas, there are only twelve dishes, and Liu Yi's family can't make up.

Shi Gandang hesitated a little, then gritted his teeth again, "My Shi family can still invite twelve dishes. What other conditions are there? The Taoist priest also said."

Distinguished guests, there are ways to invite distinguished guests.

He felt that it was worthless to give a penny to the poor.

But Bai Gui gave twelve delicacies of mountains and seas for each meal, but he felt that it should be worth the money.Because Bai Gui might bring him more benefits.This amount of money is not comparable to future benefits.

"Pindao will open a furnace for alchemy every day, and the alchemy materials used for alchemy also need to be provided by the Shi family."

Bai Gui said calmly.

Shi Gandang's knowledge is limited, he doesn't know what it means to practice Taoism and break a family. He only heard that there are only some alchemy materials, so he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

"Please wait a moment, Taoist priest. If you dare to act like this, order your servants to come to the carriage."

he said.

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left with his servants, preparing to return to the mansion to prepare for the corresponding matters.

"Bai Daochang, I don't think you are a materialistic person."

"Why are these demands made?"

Seeing that everyone in the Shi family had left, Liu Yi asked curiously.

"When Feng Xuan was a guest of Meng Changjun, Feng Xuan leaned on a pillar and flicked his sword. He sang: "Chang Jia returned, and there was no fish to eat." '"

"That's why Mr. Mengchang gave Feng Chen the treatment of a high-class diner. He has meat to eat, a car to travel, and a luxurious house to live in..."

Bai Gui explained smoothly.

Although Meng Changjun Tianwen said that he had three thousand followers, there were quite a few thieves.But Tian Wen is not a fool, he divided the diners into three classes.

The upper-class guests live in the "generation house".There is meat for every meal, and there is a car for travel; middle-level diners live in "Xingshe", where they have fish for every meal, and there is no car when they go in and out;

Liu Yi suddenly realized.

Bai Guiruo lives in Shi's house temporarily.If these requirements are not made, then with Shi Gandang's heart, he will definitely be treated slowly in the long run.For making these demands, Shi Gandang already has a sunk cost. Even if Bai Gui, like Feng Chen, keeps silent, Shi Gandang will not easily offend Bai Gui.

Secondly, Bai Gui's request depends on whether Shi Gandang is sincere.

If Shi Gandang is not sincere, in Liu Yi's view, with Bai Gui's method, the world is so big that he can live anywhere, so why bother to compromise and go to Shi's house.

If the Shi family is not sincere, Bai Gui will not agree to Shi Gandang...

Of course, Bai Gui didn't explain the deeper purpose, and it was difficult to guess anything based on Liu Yi's guess.

Waited about a quarter of an hour.

Shi Gandang personally drove a high-end carriage and drove over with all the servants.

Followed by all the good people in Sanxing town.

"This is Liu Yi's teacher?"

"It's no wonder that Liu Yineng was listed on the high school list. It turned out that the family invited an expert to give advice every day."

"..."

A group of people, whispering.

Seeing this, Shi Gandang felt that his decision was wise. He got off the carriage shaft, trotted to the door of Liu's house, nodded and bowed his head and said: "Master Bai, I have already brought the carriage over, and I would like to ask Mr. Bai to come with me to live in the mansion temporarily." A few days."

Although Bai Gui told Liu Yi the story of the disciples.

But Shi Gandang invited Bai Gui into the mansion, but he never dared to treat him as a guest.

It's too late to be respectful to this kind of Taoist priest, how dare he belittle him.Besides, Shi Gandang treated Liu Yi so kindly when he won the top spot, not to mention Bai Gui, the teacher who guided Liu Yi.With Bai Gui's method, Xianggong students are just trying to get something out of their bag, and even the Jinshi department will not be difficult.

"You have a heart."

Bai Gui nodded, and glanced at the carriage more than thirty steps away from him.

Immediately afterwards, he chanted the incantation, and his feet floated up, about three feet off the ground, as if he was stepping on auspicious clouds, riding on the wind to ride the wind, and he floated to the front of the carriage.

The car curtain is blown up without wind.

Bai Gui entered, fell down and sat down.

The whole process was done in one go, which shocked the jaws of the onlookers.

"This is a real fairy! A real fairy!"

"What nonsense, in my opinion, the level of this Taoist is at most a monk. In some big counties, there are many monks. What kind of ability is flying."

"Bai Shilang, who resigned from office a few years ago, even went to the Moon Palace to have a banquet. This Bai Daoist is far from that Bai Shilang."

Everyone was surprised and whispered to each other.

　Another seven thousand words tonight.
