Rebirth of Journey to the West: My Father's Yellow Robe Monster

Chapter 21

Gongyuan.

"The county soldiers have all withdrawn, and they are going to be listed." In front of the screen wall of the tribute courtyard, scholars were crowded.

"boom!"

The gate opened, and the yamen servants came out, and all the scholars shouted together: "The list is released, the list is released!"

"No. 20, Changle Town Zhang Wenping!"

At this time, a scholar knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying loudly: "Father, mother, I have been hit, and I have finally been hit."

"I passed the exam when I was 35 years old, and I finally passed the exam!"

This person was like a child, crying on the ground, while the scholars around him forced a smile and stepped forward to help him up: "Congratulations, congratulations, this is a very good thing."

In fact, everyone's heart tightened, someone passed the exam, what about themselves?
"No. 11, Xu Guangmao from Chongshan Town!"

"congratulations!"

As time passed, the hearts of many scholars present gradually sank into the abyss, and those who failed were pale, gloomy, and completely lonely, and some even cried bitterly.

……

At the foot of Jintai Mountain, Li's small courtyard.

The morning sun shone on the wall, and a few magpies twittered. Jin Ping'er got up early, helped Li Tianquan change into brand new clothes, and prepared copper coins.

The girl was fidgeting all morning, staring at the door nervously all the time, and seeing that it was almost noon, there was still no news, and her complexion became paler and paler.

It wasn't until almost noon that there was the sound of horseshoes, followed by the sound of beating gongs and drums pouring into the courtyard.

A registration team shouted outside the courtyard: "Success in the county examination, Mr. Li Tianquan, Li Tianquan, Lijia Village, Jintai County, the leader of the high school case!"

When Jin Ping'er heard this, she exploded with joy, and her body softened suddenly, as if a bone had been pulled out all at once, and she slumped on the seat.

"Congratulations to Master Li, congratulations to Master Li!"

And even though Li Tianquan had expected it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed at this moment, barely maintained his composure, and handed out the reward money.

The yamen servant took the money with a smile and congratulated him again and again.

The neighbors in the neighborhood heard the good news and came to congratulate him, and the usually quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.

Until noon, Li Tianquan sent away the neighbors and sat down in the house, the boiling water on the small stove not far away made a gurgling sound.

While Jin Ping'er was tidying up, Li Tianquan picked up the copper pot and poured hot water into his teacup. The fragrant tea filled the air, steaming like clouds.

"If you win Juren, your future path will be clear."

Li Tianquan watched the delicate green shoots swell in the boiling water, stretching out the fine lines, and his heart was full of joy.

At this time, the system interface is opened, and there is a new system prompt, the previous branch task [-] has been completed.

Ding, the side mission: Studying, has been completed, you have obtained a ten-year penance card × 1, the reward has been issued, please check it yourself.

"It's another ten-year hard training card. These are the foundations, and it can reach the sky in one step at a critical moment."

After checking for a while, Li Tianquan closed the system interface. At noon, there was a Wenxi banquet, which was held in the Gongyuan to show the imperial court's favor. This is a big banquet in the Tang Dynasty.

That's why those neighbors left early, and he didn't dare to delay. After bidding farewell to Jin Ping'er, he drove to the Gongyuan in an ox cart.

When he arrived at the Gongyuan, he saw a county soldier standing like a nail with a sword hanging from his waist, and an officer led him in.

When all the people were present, the main hall of the Tribute Court was opened, and a group of people filed in.

Looking around, Li Tianquan saw that Confucian saints were enshrined in the main hall, and sages were worthy of honor. There was also a dragon plaque of "Da Tang Yongchang" on the case.

This dragon card is made of gold, engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon, filled with a divine light that is difficult for ordinary people to see, and it makes people feel unimaginable majesty just by looking at it.

All the new graduates are in awe, and their breaths are short of breath. It is the lifelong dream of every scholar to enter this hall.

"Big salute" the academic officer drank, and all the people bowed down together.

"goodbye"

"flat body"

When you're done, retreat to the lobby in front of the palace.

"Meet the seat teacher!"

The chief examiner, the deputy chief examiner, and the room officer were all present, and twenty people saluted together.

Then came the speech, and when the words were finished, the music started in an instant, and with the sound of music, the new recruits invited people to the banquet.

The dishes on this banquet are dazzling and fragrant, and everyone is full of spirits. I don't know how many years of hard study, and at this time I finally took a crucial step.

After a while, the chief examiner laughed and said: "When I joined here, I was young and frivolous. You have to enjoy life to the fullest, so you don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, he left the venue. After leaving the venue, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively. People clasped their hands to each other, and everyone toasted.

Li Tianquan was the leader of the case, and he was young. Everyone could see that he had a bright future, so he was naturally the core player on the court.

He looked a little drunk, but the mana in his body was surging, and he felt a little uneasy.

There was a purple color in his eyes, and everything he saw suddenly changed. He saw that at this seemingly hilarious banquet, the candles in the palace lanterns turned into green flames; the walls and the ground were covered with blood; There were black bugs that were afraid to move in an otherwise delicious dish.

The hall was brightly lit and the dishes were exquisite, but Li Tianquan felt cold all over.

When those Juren ate the dishes, black smoke surrounded their eyebrows, but these people didn't know it.

Li Tianquan was so frightened that he was completely drunk. He just felt a chill down his back, but he didn't dare to show anything unusual.

The mana in his body was flowing, and only then did he realize that there were black Gu worms in the wine he drank before, and the Gu worms had ghost energy on them, and as soon as they entered the body, they crawled towards the bone marrow, viscera and human brain.

The ghost energy vaguely condensed into chains, exuding a cold aura, trying to entangle his soul.

"It's really audacious!"

"This is the Gongyuan."

Li Tianquan's heart was extremely solemn. This was to control all the new imperial examination candidates, and he did not know how many people were involved behind the scenes. It was simply insane.

"Who on earth dares to be so rampant?"

Today, gods and Buddhas are manifesting holiness, if you want to hide this kind of thing from the court, you must let the gods in this county cooperate, otherwise it is impossible to hide it from the sky.

At this moment, Li Tianquan suddenly remembered that Sun Changliang took those children to deal with the City God's affairs, but there has been no movement these days.

He originally thought that the county was afraid of scaring the snake, and would only strike after he was ready, and took him down with a thunderous force.

But seeing this scene now, I suddenly realized that something was wrong. This Jintai County might have already become a den of thieves, from the local clans, gods, to the government, I'm afraid they were completely controlled.

Li Tianquan felt that he had been involved in a huge vortex at some point. One could imagine the forces behind such a monstrous case in the county town near Chang'an.

"The tree wants to be still, but the wind doesn't stop!"

"I just wanted to be a teacher, but I got involved in all these troubles."

He sighed inwardly, on the surface he was hypocritical, and secretly protected his body with purple green real fire, preventing ghost energy and Gu insects from entering his brain, but he didn't dare to destroy them on the spot, for fear of alarming the people behind him.

The banquet didn't dissipate until the evening, Li Tianquan left the gate of the Gongyuan, bid farewell to everyone, and looked for the ox cart.

The coachman helped him up and smiled: "Master, it's cold and it's going to rain again. Where are you going?"

Li Tianquan didn't feel drunk at all at this moment, and said, "I'm going to Lijia Village at the foot of Jintai Mountain. It's getting late, so hurry up on the way."

The coachman happily responded, shouted, and the ox cart moved and started on the road.

Halfway there, Li Tianquan sat up straight suddenly, and said solemnly, "Who?"

After he finished speaking, he saw a blood mist spreading from the front, covering the surroundings in just a moment.

"what!"

As soon as the coachman was touched by the blood mist, he let out a scream. His body was entangled in the blood mist, blood was drawn out, and soon he became a mummy.

The blood mist around and the blood of the dead permeated together, making it more and more bright red, indescribably weird!
A trace of red mist was filled with blood, winding towards Li Tianquan, and a cloud of purple and blue real fire appeared above his head, protecting his whole body from the erosion of the blood mist.

But his heart sank completely.

"Ghosts and supernatural powers!"
