Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 177
In late autumn and September, the weather is cold and clothes are added.

Not long after the [-]th day of the eighth month of the Mid-Autumn Festival, more and more scholars came to Jinhua City during this time.

The autumn is about to begin, and the eight prefectures near Jinhua, together with local students, gather together and start preparing for the exam.

This time, the joint examination of the eight prefectures will take place in Jinhua Prefecture.The Jiangnan Road where Jinhua Mansion is located is very large, with as many as [-] mansions. According to the distance, it is divided into three examination rooms.

The administrative organization of this world is divided into counties-fu-dao.But the administrative organization at the level of Dao belongs to the central government, so it is virtual.Governments have great powers.

Similar to the national exams like Qiu Wei, all the prefectures united with each prefecture to conduct the exam, and the central government sent a great master to supervise it.

This great master has the right to propose and review questions, so he has great power.

This time, the great master who came to supervise the Qiu Wei of Jinhua Mansion was surnamed Di, and his single name was Bi.

Zhang Wei is holding a copy of "Five Thousand Words of Spring and Autumn" and is studying it. There are many volumes in this book. If you add various annotated versions of Confucianism, it can fill an entire bookcase.

The Spring and Autumn Annals is essentially a history book, recording the history of human beings from ancient times to the present.

The history of this world is very long, plus all kinds of goblins, ghosts and gods, and the change of dynasties, it is very difficult to read.The original body seems to have the ability of photographic memory, and it took many years to memorize these things.

However, scholars in this world also have chicken thieves, and they can't finish reading all the spring and autumn, so they read separately, and only study the knowledge of certain historical dynasties.This greatly reduces stress.

This is the same as those who study history, who specialize in Tang history, Ming history, or Song history.

Furthermore, books in this world are expensive and scarce, and many children from poor families cannot afford a full set of Spring and Autumn, they can only buy one or two books, and only study one or two books.

People like Zhang Weiyuan who have read through the entire Spring and Autumn Annals are rare, so they are respected by others.

Ever since he knew that his son was going to participate in Qiuwei, Zhang's father also paid a lot of money to hire a great Confucian to give Zhang Wei extra lessons.

There are not many great Confucians in Jinhua, and most of them are not short of money. They are generally immersed in their studies and have no intention of making up lessons.But who is Zhang Wei?

His heroic deeds have long spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River. When Zhang's father came to visit Daru, Daru agreed immediately, and said: "Teaching and educating people is the most important thing. Zhang Wei's character is good. I am willing to teach him. .”

Great Confucian scholars are not short of money, but they are not unworldly. They also need to be famous, and they are even keen on being famous, otherwise why read so many books.

Now that they can receive disciples like Zhang Wei, there is no reason for them to refuse.

So Zhang Wei paid homage to a great Confucianist, and began to study how to pass through the autumn chamber.

After studying, Zhang Wei found that it was actually not too difficult.The prefectural test is different from the county test. The county test is about familiarity with the Spring and Autumn Period. The test paper is similar to cloze, mainly memory.

The government test is about the flexible application of knowledge.It is said that there is nothing new in the world, and the solutions to many things can be found by looking through the history. This is the exam for the government exam. The examiner will ask questions, and then the candidates will answer with well-founded explanations.

It turned out it wasn't stereotyped essay!Only then did Zhang Wei let go of his heart.The original body had never taken the government exam, and he was dying of illness after taking the county exam, so he had no time to care about the government exam, after all, he didn't know if he would live to take the government exam.

Therefore, in the memory of the original body, there is no such knowledge at all.

In this way, the time came to September [-]th, and this day was also set by the great master.Autumn has officially begun!
Zhang Wei will enter the Gongyuan with thousands of students, and then take a three-day examination inside.On the way, the Gongyuan was completely closed, and people and animals were not allowed to enter or leave, and officials would be locked inside.

In addition to being guarded by Yang officials during the exam, there are also Yin officials patrolling and Tian officials monitoring.Make sure the exam goes smoothly.

So in this world, it is impossible to cheat on exams. If you can fool the examiners with mortal bodies, can you still fool the invisible little ghosts and the gods patrolling the sky?

Sitting in the cell, Zhang Wei felt several eyes on him.There is no way, he is famous now, not only the kid watching, but also the gods in the sky are very curious.

Grandmaster Di Biduan sat in it, drinking tea and chatting with Tang Zhifu next to him.

The two chatted and chatted, and naturally they talked about Zhang Wei.

"Why, is this Wei scholar a man to be made?" Di Bi asked lightly.

Tang Zhifu nodded and said: "He is a smart man, he can understand everything with a little bit of dialing. It just depends on whether he misses studying because of his practice."

Tang Zhifu, who was born in a poor family, still can't forget Zhang Wei's reading.

Di Bi sneered in his heart, as long as Zhang Wei's articles were not nonsense, with him around, Zhang Wei must be from high school.It's just that if the article is too bad, the ranking cannot be too high.

After all, Tang Zhiling came from a poor family, so he still doesn't know much about this aspect.But my eldest nephew wrote to me, praising Zhang Wei again and again in the letter, and I don't know if Zhang Wei is really as good as he said.

His family is in Jinzhong, and Zhang Wei is in Jiangnan. Even if he wants to recruit a talented young man, it is a bit too far away.

But it doesn't matter, it's an idle move after all.No trouble.

After sitting for a while, I also drank tea.Di Bi planned to get up and take a walk.

Thousands of students were separated by rooms, and Di Bi walked up slowly, looking at their articles casually.

As a grand master, he can check candidates' test papers at will.Seeing the Grand Master approaching, some students cheered up and quickly straightened their sitting postures, expecting the Grand Master to read their papers.Best to give a positive look.

And some people are a little uneasy, wanting the Grand Master to read their test papers, but also afraid that the Grand Master will read their exam papers.

Di Bi walked slowly in front of Zhang Wei. At this moment, he found that Zhang Wei was already sleeping on the bed!
There is a small bed for people to sleep in the house, otherwise how would the examinee rest for three days.

It's just that the exam just started, did Zhang Wei go to sleep?

Di Bi glanced at his desktop and saw a completed test paper on it.The ink is just drying, and it seems that I have just finished writing.

Di Bi picked up the test paper and read it.

After a while, he put down the test paper with a strange expression, shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Zhang Wei closed his eyes and meditated.

The last time I came out of Yinshen and killed Ao Li, I got a lot of dragon blood and a big piece of borneol.

This borneol can be refined with musk to make Wuhe Dan.The refined Wuhe Dan can nourish Yinshen.

The musk demon is now imprisoned in Qingwei Mountain, and Musk can provide a small piece every year.The five-in-one pill refined by relying on these things can make his yin spirit come out earlier.

From refining and transforming gas to refining gas and transforming gods.The most important thing is enough mana, strong soul, and great body.It is the so-called three-legged spirit.

Zhang Wei's mana is enough. He eats Huang Ya Dan every day. His mana has broken through 120 years and has reached the level of two Jiazi.

This Taoism is equivalent to those Taoist priests who have practiced for 30 to [-] years!But Zhang Wei only practiced for one year.

Therefore, Zhang Wei has reached the standard in terms of Taoism and mana.

All that's left is the body stick...

Zhang Wei's body is great, who knows who uses it.

Finally, there is the aspect of the soul.If you take Wuhe Dan, the strength of this spirit will soon rise.However, the strength has come up, and it needs to be stabilized.

When this autumn is over, I will go to the mountains to ask for a volume of "The Five Thunders of the Great Way".

If you want to get out of the yin spirit, visualization is inevitable.There are many ways to visualize, especially Buddhism, which is quite tedious.However, in Qingwei Mountain, ordinary disciples would choose to visualize the 'Nine Heavens Responding to Yuan's Thunder and Universalizing Heavenly Lord'.

The sect has a portrait of Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun. Looking at the portrait and visualizing it, it will be much less difficult.

In addition to the statue of Lei Zun, there is also the statue of Kui Niu that can also be visualized.The difference in visualization and imagination will also have an impact on future practice.The purpose of visualizing Lei Zun is to make it easier to apply for a job in Lei Yuan in the future.

Visualizing the Kui Niu can enhance the power of Lei Fa.Let Leifa be more violent.

Visualizing the five thunders on the Dao Dao is the root of the method of visualizing thunder, and it is the source of comprehension.This is the hardest, but also the best.

A thoughtful person like Zhang Wei must be the best and the strongest.

Qiuwei took the exam for three days, with one question every day.

At the end of the third day, the door of the tribute courtyard was wide open, and the candidates came out.

The rankings will be released after ten days. During these ten days, these thousands of students will play their lives.The wine shops, brothels, and scenic spots outside the city of Jinhua City will be bursting with excitement.

Even Zhang Wei's Danju Pavilion was bustling.

Zhang Wei comforted Xiao Jin in the courtyard.After not seeing Zhang Wei for three days, Xiao Jin lost his temper.Zhang Wei could only please him with Xiaoyu.

Therefore, half-grown children are the most annoying, and their temper comes when they say it.

But the half-grown children are the cutest, and they can leave as soon as they say they have a temper.

After teasing him for a while, Xiao Jin happily ate the fish.When Xiaojin was in a good mood, Zhang Wei rode him to Qingwei Mountain outside the city.

Ever since Xiaojin grew up, Zhang Wei has a flying mount.The exclusive flying mount is also very popular in Qingwei Mountain.Adding that Xiao Jin is a different species from heaven and earth, this is equivalent to buying a limited edition Rolls Royce.

It didn't take long for Zhang Wei to fly to Qingwei Mountain while sitting on Xiao Jin, and then he let Xiao Jin play while he went to find his master Tong Guang.

Along the way, many brothers and sisters greeted Zhang Wei.His deeds have long been spread throughout Qingwei Mountain, making many brothers admire him.

Because of greetings, Zhang Wei walked very slowly, and it took more than half an hour to reach the master's small courtyard.

After explaining the purpose of coming to Master Tongguang, Tongguang looked at the disciple and said with a sigh: "You have only been in the Tao for a year, and you are about to start visualizing the five thunder diagrams of the Dao, isn't it too soon?"

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "I want to prepare in advance, and I hope the master will allow it."

"That's all! You can decide your own affairs." Tong Guang could only say this.This disciple brought him too many surprises, and it was difficult for him to arrange him.

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Wei quickly saluted.

With Master's warrant, he will be able to receive the "Volume of Visualization of the Five Thunders of the Great Dao".

When he took the visualization scroll, a voice suddenly stopped him.

Zhang Wei turned his head to look, but it was the brother he asked to inquire about Wannian Tiemu.

The senior brother came to Zhang Wei's side and said, "The junior brother is easy for me to find during this time."

Zhang Wei saluted and said, "I don't know why the senior brother is looking for me? I'm busy with Qiu Wei during this time, so I'm a little busy."

Only then did the brother remember that Zhang Wei still had the status of a scholar, so he said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that last time you asked me about Wannian Tiemu, I already have an idea."

Zhang Wei was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Please brother tell me."

"This Ten Thousand Years Iron Mother is actually not a natural creation, but a man-made creation. Junior brother, do you know the monks of the Shenji Camp? When these monks were researching landmines, they also developed a kind of divine iron, called the Ten Thousand Years Iron Mother. This kind of Iron can be big or small, soft or hard.”

When Zhang Wei heard it, he realized that this thing was actually invented by the monks of the Shenji Camp.He immediately said: "Senior Brother Hardworking for me to find out."

The brother waved his hand and said: "It's nothing. But when will Junior Brother Zhang start alchemy, I want to buy a furnace of Longxiang Pill!"

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? Senior brother brought good materials and came to find me in the city. The autumn is over, so I can relax."

The brother said, "That's a deal!"

The elephant bones of that southern disciple had already arrived, and it took less than half a year.He was selling elephant bones and made a fortune.

After exchanging greetings with this senior brother, Zhang Wei blew the crane flute to attract Xiao Jin.Riding Xiaojin back home.

After returning home, he thought for a while, Yan Caiguan was a secret agent of Shenji Camp, and wondered if he could get Wannian Tiemu for him.

So he wrote a letter and sent it to Yan Caiguan in Gaotang County with a letter bird, and thanked Di Guang by the way.

The next day, he released the news and started alchemy again.

This time, the whole city became more active.Because this time he was not doing alchemy in the mountains, many wild people also found Zhang Wei here.

Just like that Taoist Songxie, this person is not short of money, but opportunity.He prepared a thousand taels of gold this time, just to ask for Huang Ya Dan.

On the day when the alchemy was started, the Zhang family seemed to be having a happy event.

A Taoist came riding on a donkey. Instead of handing out the greeting card, he took out a stack of talisman papers and threw them into the sky. When the talisman papers flew into the sky, they crackled. The fire exploded.

This kind of talisman paper is not even a talisman, but a paper stained with flammable and explosive substances, which has the effect of firecrackers!

This burst of sound startled the gatekeeper of the Zhang family, and when they ran out with sticks, the Taoist straightened his clothes, took out a gold-plated worship card and said, "Qianfangdao, Guan Dushan, please see Tongdao Zhang!"

The servant with the stick glanced at him, but still took his invitation and said, "Wait!"

At this time, a voice suddenly shouted: "Slow down!"

Then a figure rushed over quickly, because the speed was too fast, he even pulled up the afterimage.

Stepping on a pair of bamboo horses, the man suddenly stopped in front of the porter, only a hand away from the porter.

He also took out a greeting card and said: "Cultivators in the countryside, Kuzhu people are asking to see Fellow Daoist Zhang!"

The concierge took a deep look at the two of them, took the greeting cards from the two, and said unhappily: "Just wait for me!"

Oh shit!Make it fancy!Are these people not embarrassed?The concierge went in while complaining.

And the two Ye Dao looked at each other, seeing two words from each other's eyes.

'Stupid! '
