If I am not a Confucian saint, I will set off a revolution

Chapter 397 Northwest Road Weiyang City
"This Taoist test..."

Lin Ke was a little helpless.

It’s clear that Daozi and Fuzi’s trials are aimed at targeting the number one scholar.

But he hasn't gone to Buddha's trial yet, and he doesn't have time to go.

Because the Daozi Trial makes it clear that we must survive until that time.

It is estimated that there will only be one or two days to pass on the name of Buddha.

At this time, there were countless Taoist disciples vying for the title of Taoist disciples in the place where he inherited.

Daozi, logically speaking, has been awarded to Lin Ke by Ge Hong.

Now Lin Ke is just going through the motions.

For example, a few thousand meters above the head, there is probably more than one Taoist fifth-level god-forming major cultivator staring at the battlefield.

Once Lin Ke is in danger or there is an unforeseen accident on the battlefield, they will take action.

A major cultivation in the Transformation of God Realm is comparable to that of a great Confucian.

Therefore, Lin Ke is basically not in any danger.

However, going through the motions has to be done, it is necessary.

Moreover, if Lin Ke shows enough strength to convince the crowd while going through the motions, that would be even better.

For other geniuses, this trial is also an opportunity to show off their talent and strength.

"It's just that this is too natural..." Lin Ke always wanted to complain.

This trial is very much like a game of chicken.

It means throwing a group of people in a designated area and shrinking the area of ​​activity every once in a while.

Then at a certain moment, after narrowing it down to a certain range, the people inside will start to compete.

Before that, any killing was allowed.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, doing nothing, and Tao follows nature.

This is the Taoist trial.

It's similar to stocking, but more like raising gu.

Fortunately, this trial is not about cultivating demons. Otherwise, there would be no need for the arena in the end, and there would be only one person left, and the winner would be Daozi.

The restriction is the same as the number one scholar and Buddhist disciple, that is, he must be a young man under thirty years old.

Therefore, this time, Lin Ke also sensed a lot of auras belonging to the fourth realm.

Moreover, in addition to humans, there are also many dangers from the surrounding ferocious beasts.

This is a secret place!
It is unknown who created this secret realm, but it is filled with uncivilized ferocious beasts.

The secret place is located somewhere in the forest on the northwest road.

They can naturally come out, but the time is limited, and they must have something important to do.

You can even quit midway, the main thing is to be casual.

After Lin Ke came out of the secret realm, he immediately rushed to Weiyang City in the distance.

Most areas of the Northwest Road are filled with wind and sand, and there are many desert jungles in the Gobi.

But a place with a jungle means it is close to a water source, and being close to a water source means being close to a city.

Weiyang City is not far from here.

As Lin Ke approached, many pedestrians appeared along the way, including some stone tribesmen and monsters.

The Stone people live in the far west. After they were born, most of them traveled around the Northwest Road for business, and many of them studied knowledge and culture in the city.

The most discussed thing among these pedestrians was the fact that the mountain monster won the first place in the local child test paper.

That's number one in the standard volume!

"Among us mountain monsters, the one I admire the most is our brother Shi Yi, who was able to get the first place in the children's examination!"

"How did Tong Sheng get the first place in the examination? Isn't he the first in Fan Juan?"

"By the way, Shi Yi doesn't know how he compares to Confucius, who has been announced in the capital?" "Harm, I won't say much. If you listen to Confucius' surname, you will understand everything. It's useless to talk about what you don't understand."

The people around him were chatting about their own things, while Lin Ke listened quietly while walking.

But there isn't much useful information, most of it is information that everyone normally knows.

I guess I still need to get in touch with the mountain monster named Shi Yi to know the specific situation.

He followed the pedestrians all the way to Weiyang City.

The current city owner of Weiyang City is a Taoist fourth-level Nascent Soul monk. He has powerful magical power and controls a large number of surrounding villages, as well as being in charge of some stone tribes.

The Northwest Road, like other roads, is based on a city lord system rather than a prefecture lord system.

Because the areas of "Dao" and "Mansion" are not the same.

If you want to manage a place much larger than the palace, it is too tiring to rely solely on the palace master.

Therefore, we might as well let the city lord serve as the manager of each Taoist group, and the Ministry of War would send special Taoist masters to take overall jurisdiction.

The rest of the city lords are similar to the county magistrates of the same government, but they have greater power and more actual duties.

The difference between the Taoist master and the palace master is that the Taoist master is just a symbol and does not participate in the actual management, but the palace master is responsible for all aspects of things, down to the smallest detail.

Therefore, in the Northwest Road, the most powerful people are actually the city lords of various places.

However, Lin Ke planned to hide in secret this time, but did not plan to visit the city lord.

Different from the last time in Jiangning Mansion, the last time the evil demon was so famous that even Lin Ke himself was not very sure that he could find out the evil demon behind it, so he naturally had to make friends with the local magistrate.

But now, he was investigating Zhuge Li's doubts, so naturally he didn't need to be too prominent.

There is more to see in the dark.

"Freshly released newspapers! The latest information! The six model papers in the capital shocked the world!"

As soon as he entered the city, Lin Ke heard the sound of selling.

newspaper?

He raised an eyebrow and looked over.

I saw a person who looked like a waiter, shouting at the entrance of a restaurant.

This restaurant can be opened in a busy market not far from the city gate, and its business is obviously for people who come and go from the city, such as merchants doing business, farmers who go to relatives, etc.

So this is destined to be a low-grade restaurant.

But the most important thing is...

The newspapers from Dahuang Newspaper Company were brought here?

Lin Ke was a little curious, then he hid his cultivation, pretended to be a businessman, and walked into the inn.

"Hey! Guest officer, please come in!"

The waiter who was yelling hurriedly came forward and smiled with a smile on his face: "This guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"There are many interpretations of the meaning of jianjian, but the most common one means that travelers arrive at the hotel at noon, eat and take a rest.

This word comes from the scene in the inn in the past. When guests arrived at the inn on horseback, the waiter would lead the horse to the backyard, tie the reins to a sharpened wooden stick and insert it into the ground. This action was called "pointing".

At the same time, customers will also eat something and take a rest in the store. Therefore, "Dajian" has gradually become synonymous with customers eating.

But these are all commonly used languages ​​in the northwest.

"Fried two side dishes."

As soon as Lin Ke finished speaking, he touched his bag and realized that he didn't bring any money.

The waiter also saw it, but he saw more people traveling around. The waiter was also very smart: "Sir, if you forgot to bring some silver, you might as well go home and get it."

The waiter didn't serve food to people as mentioned in those novels. After all, there were people traveling here and there, so it was impossible to treat him coldly just because he didn't have money.

"That's right." Lin Ke smiled, then turned his hand and took out a long horn from the space ring: "Is there any pawn shop near here?"

As for the waiter, his eyes widened immediately when he saw Lin Ke lifting the nearly 1.6-meter-long solid horn with ease.
