I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

The quota for the competition was distributed to each academy, and then each state and prefecture screened again.

That is to say, Sheng Wen's victory in the academy was not the final victory. He still needed to defeat the people selected by other academies and finally become the representative of his state.

Then he competed for one of the six scholar quotas in Huainan Road.

Sheng Wen's place was Huainan Road where Fu Wenyu was.

In order to facilitate readers' substitution, Fu Wenyu directly used the court's territory to divide the region in the storybook "Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality", but made some minor modifications. For example, the court had 36 prefectures, and each prefecture had several prefectures and prefectures, which was the same as in reality.

As for the name of "36 prefectures", he took a shortcut and directly used

What is different is that the storybook adopted the setting of "Nine Nine Returns to One", so in the storybook "Imperial Examination and Cultivation of Immortality", the court had a total of 999 prefectures and prefectures, which was much larger than in reality.

Therefore, there were many people participating.

But none of these stumped the protagonist Sheng Wen. He passed five levels and killed six generals, and successfully made himself one of the six scholars under the age of 100 who represented Huainan Road.

In addition to him, there were several familiar people in the team.

Chen San, who was good at refining weapons.

Sheng Wen had seen him when he was a child. At that time, Chen San looked around on the way to the Confucius Temple because he did not pass the scholar test as well as his sister. His appearance of being afraid of being beaten and scolded by his parents amused many people.

Also selected was his sister Chen Liu.

Chen Liu was the top of the county case in Chen San's class. She was not good at refining pills and other auxiliary cultivations, but because she was a very rare sword cultivator, she was particularly good at fighting.

She could beat ten of her brothers.

In short, during the competition, she relied on a sword to knock down all the people who participated in the fighting selection, and was the undisputed first in fighting among the scholars under the age of 100 in Huainan Road. Even Dao Ting, another of the six scholars who was also good at fighting, lost a move and had to settle for second place.

In addition, there was Jin Caixiu, who became a "scholar" at the age of eight by using a poem "encouraging learning" to inspire his literary spirit; Fu Lulu, who could draw talismans with her hands and was accepted as a disciple by a great scholar; and Zhang Rui, who played the pipa as a musical instrument.

Of course, in addition to the six of them, there were three "alternatives".

Dao Ting, who ranked second in "fighting", was one of the alternatives, and Sheng Wen's friend Gou Erniu was the second alternative. Gou Erniu entered a college specializing in learning how to raise and control spirit beasts after passing the examination for a scholar, and contracted a powerful spirit tiger, so he successfully obtained the alternative position this time. As for the last one, it was Shang Wulang, who was taciturn, covered himself in a black robe, had a very strange skill and was good at using poison.

After the candidates were selected, the nine were sent to study together.

But perhaps because of their youthful vigor, they did not get along well.

Dao Ting is always looking for Chen Liu to fight.

"Miss, please stay!"

"Miss Chen Liu, you are a girl, you should not do these rude things like fighting and killing. Why don't you give me your place? I will bear this hardship for you, how about that?"

Chen Liu snorted coldly.

Her response was a dazzling sword light and a concise sentence: "No matter who wants my place, they must ask my sword first."

"Watch this!"

Jin Caixiu opened his mouth to talk about scriptures and closed his mouth to talk about poetry, "Confucius said..."

Fu Lulu was dressed up and keen on shopping, "Baigongfang has a new storage bracelet, why don't we go and have a look?"

Zhang Rui carried a pipa wherever he went, "The left hand pressed the notes as light as clouds, and the sixth fret was a harmonic... Brother Sheng, how do you think I played this song today? Have I improved?"

Among these people, only Chen San and Gou Erniu were relatively normal.

But because Gou Erniu often had to fight with Linghu outside to develop tacit understanding and gain experience in fighting enemies, Sheng Wen finally got along better with Chen San, who was ten years older than him.

One day after finishing the teacher's class, during the break, he curiously asked: "Your name is Chen San, your sister is Chen Liu, and when I was studying in the academy, there was a classmate named Chen Twelve."

"So is this how all the Chen family members are named?"

Hearing this, Chen San's expression suddenly became a little complicated, "Yes."

"In our Chen family, only those who pass the imperial examination can be given a name, or after the age of fifty, you can also give yourself a name, otherwise you can only call yourself according to your ranking."

"Your classmate is called Chen Twelve, so he is ranked twelfth in the family. When he passes the imperial examination, he can change Chen Twelve to Chen Moumou, otherwise he will be called Chen Twelve until he is forty-nine years old."

Sheng Wen suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Fu Wenyu used two chapters to describe the plot of the nine people studying.

This is to make readers familiar with the personality traits of the nine people and facilitate the subsequent development of the plot. So after this plot is laid out, it is time for Sheng Wen and others to set off.

The Inspector of Huainan Road personally led the way.

"Gentlemen, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden eagle flew out of the spirit beast bag on his waist, became as big as a hill, and circled over everyone. It was the spirit beast contracted by the Inspector. It turned out that he, like Gou Erniu, was a beast tamer.

It was the first time that Sheng Wen saw such a big spirit beast.

This golden eagle is not only big, but also very human. It responds to the inspector and flies lower so that the scholars who cannot fly for a long time can jump on its back covered with golden feathers.

Sheng Wen had an idea to raise one himself.

So he asked curiously: "Erniu, are all golden eagles like this? I heard from my master that there is a kind of elixir that can allow people who have not practiced the art of controlling beasts to contract spirit beasts. Is it true?"

"Gou Erniu was also very envious. He smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Not all golden eagles are this one."

"In fact, I heard the teacher in the academy talk about this golden eagle. It can grow so big because it has a trace of Dapeng's bloodline. Ordinary golden eagles are probably about the same size as our house."

"Good spirit beasts are hard to come by."

Gou Erniu thought for a while and said: "As for the elixir you mentioned, I haven't heard of it. Because when we contract a spirit beast, we bite our fingertips, press our blood on the forehead of the spirit beast, and then tame it with the corresponding mental method. "

"I have to go back and ask the teachers about the elixir you mentioned."

After hearing this, Sheng Wen felt very regretful.

Because the mental method of taming beasts is relatively difficult to learn, and it takes countless time. In order to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, he must not waste his time and must use it at the critical moment.

Maybe I can try it after I pass the imperial examination?

Sheng Wen thought secretly.

While speaking, the golden eagle has taken off.

Its wings flapped and it flew several miles away, and then flapped again, and it flew several miles away. What is rare is that this golden eagle flew so fast, but its back was very stable, almost no shaking.

Sheng Wen and others also took this opportunity to see the scenery they had never seen before.

Three days later, they came to the majestic and magnificent imperial city.

Writing here, Fu Wenyu Put down the pen.

The reason why he described this plot about how to sign a contract with a spirit beast was to give Sheng Wen the opportunity to sign a contract with a spirit beast in the future and increase his strength.

After all, which immortality protagonist does not have a powerful spirit beast?

But unexpectedly, after this chapter was sent out, some ridiculous things happened.

Somewhere in Jiangzhou, after Ji Xiucai, the first place in the college examination, passed the exam, he quickly decided on a marriage. Now his housekeeper is leading several servants to count the betrothal gifts according to the list, preparing to send them to the woman's house the next day.

But while counting, he found that a goose was missing.

The housekeeper holding the betrothal gift list suddenly sweated on his forehead and asked around anxiously: "Where is the goose, why is there one missing? The geese for the betrothal gifts must be in pairs. Has anyone seen the goose?"

Others shook their heads.

"No, there was only one when I came."

"I saw two yesterday."

"I didn't see it either. It seems that there was only one when I came today. "

The steward's face changed drastically, "Why don't you find them quickly!"

"Nowadays, many families in the city are getting married. These two geese were prepared by the steward with great difficulty. What's rare is that their feathers are all the same color. It's very appropriate to send them to the future eldest lady's home."

"They were tied tightly after they were bought. Can they still fly?"

"Go find them quickly! "

So everyone dispersed, and they searched the garden, flower hall, main hall and other places from the ear room where the betrothal gifts were placed, but they all returned empty-handed. Finally, the extremely anxious steward even went to the kitchen and searched among a pile of chicken feathers, fearing that someone would mistake the wild goose for a chicken and stew it in soup.

The good news was that no wild goose feathers were found, and the bad news was that they were still not found.

And this commotion also disturbed the host family.

Ji Xiucai's parents were shocked.

You know, wild geese are "swan geese", which represent auspiciousness in marriage. A pair of wild geese is missing one, and it is inexplicably missing, which is an ominous sign.

The person involved, Ji Xiucai, seemed calm. He thought for a while and asked, "Did the second young master go out today?"

The steward answered blankly, "No, the second young master didn't go out all day today. "

So Ji Xiucai turned around and walked towards his brother's yard.

At this time, in the room of the second young master of the Ji family, the windows and doors were closed. The second young master, who was only eight years old this year, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a wild goose that everyone had been looking for for a long time.

He brought the wild goose in front of him and said thoughtfully.

"Well, the storybook said that if you want to sign a contract with a spirit beast, you have to take blood from your finger and then print it on the forehead of the spirit beast. In this way, it can understand what I say, which is very magical. "

"Although I don't have a golden eagle, I have a wild goose. "

"Wild geese can fly just as well!"

"So do you want to give it a try?"

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. The second young master Ji looked up and found that his brother was sneering at him.

"What do you want to try?"
