Asking the heavens starts with Xiaoao

Chapter 169 Exam Begins

The "Nine Yin Scriptures" and the holy fire order martial arts are both the supreme martial arts of the Zhang family on Binghuo Island. There are not many people on the island who know them, and the "Nine Yin Scriptures" can only be learned by the descendants of the Zhang family.

Although Mrs. Zi was adopted by the former island owner since she was a child, and she was able to pass on the martial arts of the Holy Fire Order, she has been away all the time and spends only a handful of time on the island. This kind of martial arts still has such a origin.

And Zhang Lingxuan majored in "Nine Yin Scriptures" and lacked understanding of the Kung Fu Order of the Holy Fire, so although the two were both from Binghuo Island, but covered their heads and faces, no one could recognize the other based on the other's martial arts alone. Come.

Although they had a vague guess in their hearts, they never recognized the details of each other's martial arts.

Zhang Lingxuan's "Nine Yin Scriptures" kung fu restrained Mrs. Zi's holy fire order martial arts. As time passed, the battle situation gradually turned in Zhang Lingxuan's favor.

After dozens of strokes, Mrs. Zi clumsily moved from left to right, and her steps gradually became scattered.Zhang Lingxuan stepped up her moves, hoping to knock down the person opposite, so that she could enter Gaofu.Suddenly, there was a warning sign in her heart, and there was a loud cracking sound in the back of her head.

She hurriedly turned sideways, and a long black whip hit the place where she was standing just now, smashing a green brick on the ground to pieces.

She looked back and couldn't help staying there. Under the bright moonlight, she saw that the person who attacked her seemed to be her Aunt Lan.

Zhang Lingxuan was so surprised that she almost cried out.

The man asked elegantly: "Dare to ask this friend, why did you visit Gaofu at night?"

When Zhang Lingxuan heard this person speak, she was sure that it was Aunt Lan, and the woman in the purple shirt opposite should be Aunt Zi.

The two of them worked with the second brother and hadn't been back to Binghuo Island for several years, but they didn't want to run into each other here today.

Zhang Lingxuan was confused and just wanted to retreat. She originally wanted to come to Gaofu to catch Sang Chong, but she didn't expect that Aunt Zi came out to stop her first, and then even Aunt Lan showed up.

Obviously, her second elder brother Zhang Lingyun had an affair with the Gao Mansion, but she didn't know why she wanted to cover up that prostitute!

At this moment, Mrs. Zi snorted, and Mrs. Lan looked back. Zhang Lingxuan saw the opportunity and rushed into the alley. She only flashed a few times, and disappeared in an instant.

Mrs. Lan was concerned about Mrs. Zi's injury, so she left Zhang Lingxuan alone and went to check on Mrs. Zi's injury.

Mrs. Zi said: "Sister Lan, I'm fine, but I'm a little out of strength. This man's martial arts are very good, like the way of Emei."

Mrs. Lan said: "It's not Emei! I think it looks like the island owner's family's kung fu. This island owner's family has a deep connection with the Central Plains martial arts. It's not surprising that some people know the island owner's family's kung fu."

She asked Mrs. Zi, "Why did that man break into the Gaofu at night?"

Mrs. Zi replied: "It is said that they are coming to the Gao Mansion to arrest a prostitute, and it is estimated that Zhao Wenju is another romantic debt incurred outside!"

Mrs. Lan said disgustedly: "Go do some tricks and tell Zhao Wenju to stop for a few days, so as not to run around outside and ruin the big event. Don't miss that Mr. Gao, although he has never been brave, but now is a critical time." , can’t take any risk!”

Mrs. Zi smiled sweetly: "Ah Zi knows, is there anything else Sister Lan has to say?"

Mrs. Lan said: "No more, you should do your best, and don't delay your son's important affairs."

Madam Zi replied: "Ah Zi knows." She saluted Madam Lan, Madam Lan waved her hand, she turned over and jumped into the backyard of Gao Mansion to disappear.

Mrs. Lan lingered in place for a while, and murmured, "Strange, that man in black is so familiar, he must be someone I know, who could it be?"

Zhang Lingxuan wandered through the streets and returned to the inn not long after, she saw Yue Buqun sleeping soundly, so she entered her room carefully, closed the door, and went to rest by herself.

Before dawn on the second day, Yue Buqun was ready to stop and set off for the Gongyuan. When he passed by the door of Zhang Lingxuan's room, the door of Zhang Lingxuan's room was closed, and she was probably still sound asleep. He smiled and walked out quickly. .

In the room, Zhang Lingxuan put her hands on the door, and tried to open the door several times to go out, but her hands seemed to be rooted, and she remained motionless after all.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door gradually receding, Zhang Lingxuan leaned against the door as if drained of strength.

The Tribute Courtyard was in the southeast of Chang'an City. When Yue Buqun arrived, it was already crowded with people. All the scholars were lined up in a long line and were being inspected by soldiers.

The inspection is to check whether there is any entrainment. If a problem is found, the candidate will be pulled out of the team, and this time Qiuwei will not be able to participate.

These soldiers inspected very carefully, and some scholars were ordered to untie their hair and take apart their buns for careful inspection.Even the steamed buns and dry food they brought were broken open to check one by one.

But not all of them are so detailed, some of them are just checked briefly and then let go.

When it was Yue Buqun's turn, the soldier took Yue Buqun's number plate and took a look, only to see the words Huayin County Yue Yi written on it, so he stuffed the number plate into Yue Buqun's hand, It seemed that his hand touched Yue Buqun's body a few times, but he didn't even touch the corner of Yue Buqun's clothes. After making a gesture, he motioned for him to go directly.

Yue Buqun was baffled, but he reacted quickly, and as a result, he walked inside with the number plate. Since the soldiers had to put on a show, he would not be boring himself, and asked the soldiers to check.

Once inside, Yue Buqun found his own room, and his seat was in the first row, not next to the toilet.Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't next to the latrine, the exam would take nine days in a row, if he was unfortunately assigned to the latrine, the smell would make him dizzy.

When Yue Buqun found the place, he put down the book basket, took the pen and ink from it, took some water, and began to grind the ink. When he was ready for everything, the scholars also entered the arena.

Some of the scholars were happy, because they were assigned a good position, some looked gloomy, because they were assigned a bad position, and some looked mournful, because they were allocated next to the toilet.Others were crying outside because they were dragged out.

I heard three cannon shots, the gate of the tribute courtyard was closed, and someone locked the gate of the tribute courtyard. From this moment on, the door will not be opened until nine days later. Scholars will spend the extremely important nine days of their lives in this tribute courtyard. Someone As soon as it soared into the sky, some people fell into mud.

When Yue Buqun was ready, the paper bag was handed out, and he took out the paper to have a look, only to see that there were three questions and four books.

Mr. Wu and Yue Buqun said that the first test is the highlight, whether or not he gets the township test basically depends on this first test, and the latter two are just icing on the cake.

Fortunately, these topics were not difficult for him. He closed his eyes and rested his mind, and carefully conceived the structure of the article in his mind. If the idea was almost complete, he was ready to start writing just now. This is also his habit.

In the eyes of outsiders, he seems to be asleep at this moment like a clay puppet.
