Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 179 Open the list!
Zhang Wei sighed and put away the letter, he was really not familiar with the Di family, so if he rashly asked him to ask for the Iron Mother of Ten Thousand Years, would they give it to him?
And the capital is far away, so let's put this matter aside for now.

In the evening, Zhang Wei was eating with Xiaoqian.Since practicing swords, Xiaoqian's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger, her body has begun to develop for the second time, and her height has grown a little bit, which makes Xiaoqian very happy.

But what Zhang Wei cares about is other places, and it has grown there, Zhang Wei is also very happy!

While eating, the weasel came and brought a weasel that was smaller than him.After Zhang Wei finished his meal, the two weasels came to greet him.

The new weasel said in a thin female voice, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, Xinxin."

Zhang Wei looked at the weasel and said with a smile, "You were the one who tricked Xiao Huang? It seems to be a beauty trick."

The old weasel on one side blushed, but said nothing.And this weasel named Xinxin said with trepidation: "I can't help it either. When my elder brother was picking a Ziyun Ganoderma lucidum, he was yelled at by the monster guarding the Ganoderma lucidum, and he lost his soul. There is nothing we can do about it." Make this move."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you either. I think Xiao Huang is the one who took the bait."

"However, I'm a little surprised. This Pill of Lost Soul is an ancient pill. Why do you have this pill?"

Xinxin glanced at the weasel beside him, and said, "Reporting to Mr. Zhang, my family is a branch of the Huang family in the north. After the separation, I also brought some inherited ones. This Dan Fang is one of them."

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "In that case, Xiao Huang is..."

Xinxin still glanced at the weasel next to him, and said, "Brother Huang is a descendant of the same clan."

Zhang Wei finally understood that his little Huang was a side branch of a big family branch.After the big family is separated, the branch can be regarded as the new main branch.It is estimated that Xinxin is the main branch after the separation, and Xiao Huang is the side branch.

This kind of side branch can't take advantage of it. Sometimes, if the main branch is more ruthless, these side branches are like the main branch's slaves.Xiao Huang said that he was looked down upon by his friends when he was young, which seems to be the reason.

In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if Xiao Huang was not from a big family, how could he have a bone knife.Although this bone knife is a low-level magic weapon, it is also a very good thing for the wild monsters in the country.

Zhang Wei nodded and said to her, "Do you have anything as a reward?"

The weasel nodded, took out a Ganoderma lucidum and said, "I wonder if this Ziyun Ganoderma can be used as a reward."

Zhang Wei took the Ganoderma lucidum and took a look. It was also a medicinal material recognized by the alchemy furnace, as long as it was a medicinal material recognized by the alchemy furnace, it would not be bad.

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "This thing is not bad. For Xiao Huang's sake, I will help you refine this batch of soul-absorbing elixir. Keep the stuff and come to get the elixir tomorrow."

Xinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and then let out a 'Zhizhi', and several weasels came running carrying things.

The things they carried were alchemy materials, and the most attractive thing was the Lost Soul Fish, which was three feet long and looked very ugly.

A few weasels put down their things, and then Xinxin saluted Zhang Wei before leaving.

Weasel glanced at Xinxin reluctantly, but he didn't follow, but stayed. He is Zhang Wei's servant, so he can't follow.

Zhang Wei looked at Xiao Huang and said, "Do you like Xinxin?"

Xiao Huang nodded and said: "Who doesn't like her, she is so beautiful, cunning and cute."

Hehe, cunning is also a commendatory term for weasels.

"What's the matter? Why don't you chase after you like it?" Zhang Wei said.

"No, if a side branch like me wants to marry the eldest lady of the direct line, he can only marry. And I didn't even have the qualifications before."

He sighed and said: "I've already figured it out. I've left the family and now I'm the young master's demon servant. She and I are demons in two worlds. She may still be a member of a small family in Eshan for the rest of her life." Miss. But I want to follow the young master to travel all over the country and see all the romantic monsters."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huang's eyes sparkled, and he said: "She used to be a monster that I couldn't get, but now, I am a monster that she can't get. We have no possibility."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xiao Huang to have such an idea.He shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, I see. Bring her to get the medicine tomorrow."

If Xiao Huang wants to pursue his love, of course Zhang Wei will not stop him.But if he wants to follow him, Zhang Wei will not refuse.Everyone has their own choices, and the consequences of each choice are different. This is also the law of fate!

The next day, Zhang Wei gave Xinxin the three Lost Soul Pills, and Xinxin left with gratitude.

Then he called Dahei.The servant told him that Dahei had gone out early in the morning.

Zhang Wei was a little strange, why did this big black go out?Then he called Erhei again.As a result, Erhei also ran away.

He was even more surprised, the two brothers usually did not leave home, and would leave one person to wait for orders when they left home.Why are they gone today.

At this time, Xiaoqian smiled and said, "Today is the day when the rankings are announced, so you are not in a hurry, but Dahei and Erhei are always in a hurry. They went to the Gongyuan to watch the announcement before dark."

Zhang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "So it's the day when the rankings are released! I don't even remember."

These days, he was busy entertaining guests and refining alchemy, so he really didn't take this matter to heart.Unlike other scholars, Zhang Wei has a choice, so he really has no desire to pass the exam or not.

At this time, outside the Gongyuan, the two brothers Zhang Dahei and Zhang Erhei stood like iron towers.The two brothers often eat small ginseng bone pills, and now they have a physique of nearly eight feet, plus they are black, really like an iron tower.

The two came to the gate early and waited. As time passed, more and more people came to the gate of the Gongyuan. Most of them were dressed as students, and some were street runners. In the Xiucai High School, they rushed to announce the good news, at least ten words of money for the good news is indispensable.Maybe even a meal of wine and meat.

Gradually, there were more and more people, and the two brothers were a head taller than ordinary people, staring closely at the door.

At this time, someone shouted: "Here we come! The person who released the list is here."

At this time, a small official came out from the Gongyuan with two servants.The guards separated the crowd.The little official unfolded the list and pasted it on the wall.

According to the usual practice, the list is posted from the back to the front, and this little official has to read the people on the list again, so that the people behind the station can know the people on the list.

"This autumn, under the review of the great master and the masters, a total of [-] masters have been selected. Now the list is announced, the [-]th..."

Next, is the singing list.Roll up from the [-]th.Whenever a name is sung, there is a burst of cheers.

The successful candidate will immediately be congratulated by the people around him. If the person concerned does not come, a street runner will rush to report the news with his swift legs.

Opposite the Gongyuan is a restaurant, and the restaurant is full of scholars who are taking the exam. Although they look calm on the surface, their hands holding the wine glasses are turning white, and their minds are not on drinking.They all strained their ears to listen to the voice below.

When he heard his name, the successful lifter immediately breathed a sigh of relief, drank the wine in the glass, and then cupped his hands and said to the surroundings: "I won't win the lift, everyone congratulations!"

Then there was a burst of congratulations.

This time, there are almost 3000 people in the eight houses of Qiuwei, and only one hundred candidates are selected, which can be said to be one of thirty.At this time, you can feel that people's joys and sorrows are not connected.

Soon, a list of 33 people came to an end.Some people are happy and some are sad.

Zhang Erhei didn't hear Zhang Wei's name, so he asked his elder brother in a low voice: "Brother, there is no young master's name, is this..."

Zhang Dahei glanced at his silly younger brother, and said, "Shut up, the young master is so talented, it's impossible for him to rank so low. Just listen."

What the two of them said was heard by a nervous scholar next to him. After hearing the names on this list, the scholar found that he was not there, and felt bad.But when he heard the words of the two stupid, black and thick men next to him, he immediately sneered and said, "Don't deceive yourself, there are talents from eight prefectures. Your young master probably won't pass the exam, otherwise, how could he send you a green onion?" You're the kind of servants who come to watch the list!"

The two brothers of the Zhang family's expressions sank after hearing this man's words.

The scholar pointed to the restaurant behind him, and said, "Do you see that restaurant? All those scholars who are confident are in it! That's the way to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!"

The scholar's words are correct, every time Qiu Wei releases the rankings, the restaurant will be occupied by students due to the geographical location.Talents who really know what they want will sit there, order a jug of good wine, and wait for the announcement.

Over time, this is an unknown unspoken rule.A scholar who is not sure will not go upstairs to humiliate himself.

Just like the scholar who spoke, he was not sure, so he could only stand here and wait.

At this time, another small official came over and continued to post the second list.

This time, there were more and more cheers in the restaurant.It seems to confirm the words of this scholar.

At the end of the second list, there was still no Zhang Wei's name.This time Zhang Dahei couldn't stand anymore.

He thought that the young master of his family is indeed a genius, but the talents of the entire eight prefectures are concentrated here, and there are 3000 people vying for the position of Juren, so is there no talent like the young master?

What if all these talents fill up their positions?
Zhang Dahei immediately worried about gains and losses.

In the past, when the Zhang family had no scholars, the Zhang family did not consider this kind of problem.But since Zhang Wei was admitted as a scholar, this desire began to germinate.

Especially after Zhang Wei recovered from his illness, this desire was out of control!
If you get a scholar, can you come to Juren?If you win the Juren, Jinshi, can you think about it?There are already Jinshi, but what about the champion?What about the No. [-] champion in the country?

The faces of Dahei and Erhei were gloomy, and they looked even darker.The scholars around him didn't have his name either, and he knew he had failed because it was impossible for him to enter the top 33 at the top.

After knowing that he failed the ranking, his heart was relieved.He turned his head to look at the two black-faced men beside him, and sneered, "What's the matter? You still don't have your young master's name? Just give up, a coward who doesn't even dare to look at the list, how can he pass the exam!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dahei looked at the scholar with an unkind expression, and Erhei asked in a low voice, "What should I do, brother?"

Zhang Dahei is a person who is unwilling to cause trouble, but he is definitely not a person who is afraid of causing trouble.

He whispered, "Hit him!"

It's okay to insult them, but it's not okay to insult their young master!
When Er Hei heard this, he immediately twisted his waist and swung his fist, and punched the foul-mouthed scholar with one punch.

A heavy fist hit the scholar's jaw, and the tall and powerful Erhei punched the thin scholar into the air.

This scholar never expected that someone would be violent in front of the sacred tribute courtyard. How could anyone do such an insulting thing!

He was stunned immediately, fell to the ground with a 'plop', and didn't react for a long while.

When he came to his senses, his jaw was swollen like a pig's head, and he wailed at once: "Someone beat someone! Someone beat a scholar!"

During the time when the list was announced, a incident of beating a scholar suddenly appeared, and the people around, especially those scholars who were not on the list and were in a bad mood, immediately became angry.

"Who is it? Who dares to beat up a scholar in the street!"

Several strong scholars were furious.Not all scholars in this world are powerless, some scholars usually only read books, they just use iron.It was also an article written by Shen Xin, who raised up talents who dance swords and race horses.

The scholar's wailing made the surrounding eyes turn away.Zhang Dahei and Erhei immediately became the focus of attention.

When these people saw Brother Zhang Dahei's attire, they knew that the two of them were not scholars, and their mood was even worse now!

Damn it, you guys can fight Master Xiucai too?
But the thin scholar looked at the figures of both sides, and immediately cursed: "You two birds, you dare to beat the scholar in the street, you are so brave, is it because the master of the government office doesn't hurt, or do you think you have lived too long?"

At this time, several tall and strong scholars squeezed over, and they were about to catch the Zhang brothers.

At this time, a scholar suddenly stood out from the nearby restaurant. He was also a tall, burly man.He yelled: "What's the fuss! Delay us from watching the list!"

He glared fiercely at the Zhang family brothers.At this time, a small official came out of the Gongyuan again, and in his hands was the top list!

At this time, everyone stopped, even the scholar who fell to the ground and cried.

The little official opened the list and immediately posted it on the wall.

Then he began to roll the roll slowly.

But at this time, no one was listening to his roll call, and everyone stared at the people on the list.

Zhang Dahei quickly searched for Zhang Wei's name from below.

There is no No.30!

There is no No.20 either!
Neither does No.10!

Zhang Dahei's heart sank more and more.

But he still has to read this list, even if it is the last chance, he is not willing to give up.The young master of his own family is so talented and morally noble, it is impossible not to be selected.

No. 8...

No. 5...

No. 3...

Finally, Zhang Dahei stared wide-eyed, and suddenly shouted violently: "I got it! Young master got it!"

Zhang Erhei was staring at those scholars at this moment, when he suddenly heard the loud shout from his elder brother, he was taken aback.He immediately asked, "Did you win? What number did you win?"

Zhang Dahei laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out.

He shouted loudly and in an unquestionable tone: "The number one on the list! Eshan Zhang Wei!!"
