Chaos in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 71
The next day, it was dawn.

"Bang bang bang."

There was another knock on the door.

Although the person who entered was also a beautiful woman, this time it was not Xie Daoyun, but Xie Xuan's maid, Xiaomei.

Xiaomei is not tall, but has a plump body. She came into the house with a basin of clear water.

Xie Xuan said displeased: "Didn't I tell you, don't bother me these few days."

Xiaomei smiled and said, "I'm just delivering face wash to the young master, I'll go out right away."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, but Guan Ziyang saw that the smile on her face disappeared as soon as she turned her head, replaced by a faint sadness.

"Hey, Ziyang, you said that my mother did the same. Before she died, she didn't explain anything, but she gave Xiaomei to me. It's really annoying." Xie Xuan said, got up and took a handful of water, and wiped it with his hands indiscriminately. She slapped her face.

Guan Ziyang smiled and said: "There are three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring. Your mother is probably only thinking of your old Xie's family."

Although he comforted Xie Xuan with his mouth, he secretly groaned in his heart. Before he became a saint, he needed to maintain a pure Yang body, but his mother was seriously ill, so he was not filial.

"Then hurry up and become a saint, and let the mother embrace the grandson as soon as possible..."

"It's a headache. For future generations, I am still in school at the age of 16, but now I have to bear the heavy responsibility of carrying on the family line. The pressure is huge!"

Xie Xuandao: "Ziyang, do you have a place to stay in Jiankang?"

Guan Ziyang said: "I rented a private house."

"Okay, let's go, let's go now."

"What are you going to do? My place is very shabby, you are probably not used to it, Xiaodao."

"I don't care about that. I will stay with ordinary soldiers in the barracks. Let's go! Now!"

"But I have to say hello to General Xie."

"No need, getting rid of my sister and Xiaomei is the top priority. No one knows about your place. We can just prepare for the ninth grade."

Xie Xuan ordered a servant to report to Xie Yi, saying that he and Guan Ziyang went out to find a quiet place to prepare for next month's Ninth Grade Zhongzheng, so that he should not worry about it
Guan Ziyang was pulled by Xie Xuan, and he left the Zijin Courtyard.

When the two arrived at the small courtyard rented by Guan Ziyang in the east of the city, Xie Xuan was very satisfied.

"In the next month, Brother Que, let's study martial arts together here! Haha, what a great place!" Xie Xuan couldn't wait, and in the small courtyard, he gestured for a white crane to spread its wings.

Guan Ziyang said with a smile: "I heard that there are so many geniuses in this year's Zhongzheng, Brother Young Daoist, do you feel a little pressure?"

Xie Xuan replied: "There must be pressure, but a large part of them rely on the internal strength improved by the 'Five Stone Powder', and talk about empty talk all day long. They are definitely not the opponents of our brothers."

Guan Ziyang said: "Youdao has such a big tone, accept the move!"

Guan Ziyang flew into the air and kicked towards Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that brother Que is under a lot of pressure, the blood is awakened!"

"Ice Wind Legs!"

"Look at my Tai Chi profound meaning!"

……

For a whole month, the two of them sparred every day, making both of them really capable!
In addition to exchanging and discussing experiences from time to time, the two martial arts and cultivation bases are improving by leaps and bounds!

Guan Ziyang had a faint feeling that he was about to break through the lower middle level of the second rank...

The imperial court posted an announcement on the imperial list that three days later, a Zhongshan Gathering would be held at the top of Zhongshan, next to the Yiren Spring, calling for the active participation of literati and scholars.

This is the Ninth Rank Zhongzheng Conference.

"Literati" refers to the common people who study literature, and "scholar" naturally refers to warriors...

The Jiupin Zhongzheng held every three years is also a big event in the local area!It will attract many people from Jiankang to watch it.

From high-ranking officials to ordinary farmers, they are all keen to appreciate the demeanor of this year's designated students.

Of course, ordinary farmers are just watching the excitement, while dignitaries and dignitaries are just to connect with each other, and by the way, see if there are any suitable marriage partners among this year's students.

The so-called gifted scholars and beauties are concentrated in the nine ranks of elegance, and there are often many precedents for achieving a good story.

This year's list of Zhongzheng officials has also been announced, with a total of five people.

They are Sima Yu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and Yu Xi, the servant, and these two are important ministers in the court.

There are also Sun Chuo, the author and emperor's teacher, and Xi Tan, the imperial censor. These two are famous scholars in the Qing Dynasty.

The last one is Xie An, recognized by the state of Jin as a high-ranking hermit with no official position.

This is Xie An's first time as a Zhongzheng official, before he refused to accept it, but this year he made an exception to accept the appointment, and all the officials in the court were amazed.

There are still three days left, and Guan Ziyang hopes to break through to the lower middle stage of the second rank within these three days.

So in addition to discussing martial arts with Xie Xuan every day, he meditates and exercises every night to regulate the internal energy in his body.

Xiantian Qi circulates in the body by itself, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

The main thing is the innate essence and innate spirit. Now he can't use these two internal forces at all, he can only let them accumulate in the perineum at the bottom of his dantian, and the two acupoints of Baihui on the top of his head.

What Guan Ziyang needs to do to meditate is to "transform the three cleanses into one qi" of the internal force in the body, and sort out the innate qi and the innate spirit, so that these two kinds of internal energy can stay in the acupuncture points honestly and don't come out for a while.

Two days passed, and it was the last day of the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng, Xie Yi sent his servants to invite Guan Ziyang and Xie Xuan to return to Zijin Courtyard together.

It is said that there are some points that Zhongshan Yaji needs to pay attention to, and I have to explain to the two of them.

The two rejected the bullock cart and hurried on the road with light work. Although it was a bit tiring, it was still part of the training.

Guan Ziyang has innate energy, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible, Xie Xuan who was thrown away in a short while was quite a big part.

After Guan Ziyang had finished drinking a cup of tea in the Zijin Courtyard, Xie Xuan finally arrived.

Xie Xuan was out of breath: "Brother Que, so... so light."

Xie Yi and Xie An greeted them with a smile, Xie Yi said: "Hahaha, you still need to work hard, Ziyang has already surpassed you by a lot..."

Guan Ziyang and Xie Xuan stepped forward to salute at the same time.

After some chatting, Guan Ziyang found out that Xie An was actually one of the five masters at the Zhongshan Gathering.

Xie An is the No. 1 hermit in the state of Jin. People at the time said, "If An Shi refuses to come out, what will happen to the common people?"

It can be seen that Xie An's reputation in the state of Jin is almost unmatched.

Xie An's coming out of the mountain to be a Zhongzheng official is to give this class of students a great face, because being appreciated by Xie An is probably enough for him to brag about for a long time.

This time, Jiankang's ninth-rank Zhongzheng and the descendants of the high-ranking noble families of Jin State all participated, and these Zhongzheng officials naturally came from these high-ranking noble families.

That's why there are "high-rank, no poor, and low-rank, no nobles". These students are all related to Zhongzheng officials.

Xie An said: "Ziyang, this time, Zhongzheng, you have to use all your abilities. I don't want you to aim for a fixed product, but I want you to pressurize the crowd and stand out from the crowd!"

"Are you confident?"

Guan Ziyang gave a wry smile, and said, "Originally there were, but now I heard that there are several First-Rank Realms. I can only do my best!"

Xie An Fuxu smiled and said: "Hahaha, as long as you can do your best, then half the battle is won. Don't worry, you can stand out from all the heroes with your second-grade ability to pass through the secluded realm."

The second rank refers to the realm of internal strength, and Tongyou is the fourth rank of the martial arts realm.

Together, we can have a general understanding of this person's realm, and Guan Ziyang is now in the second-rank Netherworld Realm, and Xie Xuan is in the second-rank Yongzhi Realm.
