Chapter 18 Everyone wants to see the Book of Heaven
"When communicating with the Book of Heaven, there will first be a tiny glimmer of light, fleeting like a shooting star."
"Those who are destined can easily chase the light and be led closer to the way of heaven. By then, all the ways in the world will evolve above your head, but the time is very short. You will realize as much as you can."
"But if you have no connection with the Book of Heaven, you won't be able to catch up even if you try your best. This is the case with several of my brothers and sisters at the same time."
"Six years ago, some of them had seen that light many times, but they could not enter after all."
The next morning, in the Enlightenment Hall.
Chu He and Lu Qingqiu tried for two days, but still could not sense the heavenly book, so they asked Ban Yangshu, the inner court disciple recommended by King Chong.
This Senior Brother Ban once successfully sensed the Heavenly Book in the outer courtyard, and finally successfully entered the inner courtyard. Now he has reached the upper realm of Tongxuan.
Following the footsteps of our predecessors is the fastest way to practice Taoism.
Ban Yangshu was quite decent, and King Chong was also more concerned about sensing the Heavenly Book, so he did not hide his secrets and told everything he knew.
Lu Qingqiu and Chu He were thoughtful after hearing this, and seemed to have some insights.
"By the way, where is the person named Ji You who has perfected the lower three realms? Why haven't I seen him?"
"He...he went to try the sword forest again today."
Ban Yangshu was slightly startled: "Dual cultivation of martial arts?"
Lu Qingqiu nodded, feeling very confused.
She believed that Ji You had felt the difficulty of enlightenment at the Enlightenment Field last night. She originally thought that he would give up the path of martial arts and realize enlightenment from morning till night like them.
But the fact is that he still went to the Sword Testing Forest today, which is really incredible.
Lu Qingqiu was not the only one who found it unexpected. There was also Professor Wang from the Sword Trial Forest. He was also very curious about what this unique contender for a place in the inner court was thinking.
"I heard that Lu Qingqiu and Chu He have gathered a mysterious light. Why do you still have the intention to come and learn martial arts?"
"Didn't I mean that if I still can't break through, I might be kicked out of Tianshuyuan? I have to have some skills, maybe I can go up the mountain and become a gangster."
"?"
Ji You held a wooden sword in his hand and kept slashing and stabbing in the forest: "Has Wang Jiaoxi ever seen a ruthless bandit?"
Wang Jiaoxi laughed when he heard this: "Shengjing is the capital of Great Xia, and our Tianshuyuan is in charge. How can the gangsters dare to commit crimes here?"
"Are you interested in meeting him? I heard that the gangster is also a martial artist, and his swordsmanship is also relatively exquisite."
"Could it be that the Meng Xinghun you mentioned is actually a gangster?"
Ji You sheathed his sword and wiped the sweat from his head: "You only need one tael of silver, and I will teach you how to get to know him."
Wang Jiaoxi looked at him for a long time, then took out a tael of silver from his sleeve: "When are you going to see me?"
"Now."
"?"
Ji You threw down the wooden sword and ran away. He stood far away and turned around and said, "Teacher, I have no money to eat. This is what I borrowed from you. I will pay it back with both hands in the future."
Wang Xinan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes widened. Damn it, this is such a fucking gangster!
In a blink of an eye, Ji You had arrived at Xianshanfang and filled his stomach with money.
However, it is not an option to continue like this, we still have to find a way out.
He is an alternative who joined the orthodox church as a private cultivator in the countryside. He has no family behind him and even his life is a problem.
It's not that shameful to be unable to enter the Tao, but it's a bit shameful to starve to death...
After Ji You had eaten, he saw that it was still early, so he got up and went down the mountain, deciding to pay attention to Lao Kuang who was preparing for the exam.
He was not familiar with Shengjing, and he only knew that the place where Kuang Cheng lived was called Chunhua Inn, so he asked around and finally came to a very familiar place.
This is a very secluded alley during the day, but Ji You has seen its nights.
At night, there are kids playing with their crotch everywhere, and people’s hearts are yellow everywhere...
?
Ji You wasn't sure at first, until he found the inn and met Kuang Cheng. At that time, he was in a small small room, piercing his buttocks, studying classics, and there was a burnt oil lamp on the table. , the wick lay listlessly on the edge of the lamp.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kuang Cheng turned around.
"Brother Ji, why are you here?"
"Didn't you say you found a quiet and elegant place?"
Kuang Cheng couldn't help but sigh and closed the book: "There used to be a bookstore opposite, but it was changed to a flower building five years ago, and the map of Shengjing City that I have is from eight years ago."
Ji You pulled up a stool and sat down: "Did it happen on purpose or accidentally? You can always find another one, right?"
"But this is the only place that has a desk and lamp oil at such a reasonable price." "Then how are you prepared?"
Kuang Cheng thought for a while and then said: "I was only 60% sure before, but now I can reach 80%."
Ji You raised his eyebrows slightly: "So confident?"
"Your Majesty will open up a wide range of talents this year, and the number of people hired will be far greater than before."
"Why did such a change happen?"
"There are rumors that His Majesty feels that the current court is too lifeless and wants to select a group of new officials to rectify the administration."
Ji You didn't make any move after hearing this. He just nodded slightly, thinking that now that the immortals are in the world and the imperial power is weakening, this will be the end of it no matter how hard it is to rectify it.
It's just to change the people around you to be more pleasing to the eye.
However, the reform of official administration also involves many immortal affairs.
For example, the collection and supervision of taxes, the collection and transportation of spiritual grass veins, and the circulation and turnover of elixirs.
If something goes wrong and the whole body is involved, it may cause more trouble. Maybe after a while, Shengjing will be full of trouble.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Brother Ji? Brother Ji?"
"Huh?"
Seeing him come to his senses, Kuang Cheng couldn't help but said: "Don't just talk about me, how are you doing at Tianshu Academy now? Is your practice going well?"
Ji You put his hands on his knees: "Now everyone is competing for a spot in the inner courtyard. They run to sense the heavenly book every day. It is said that if the induction can be successful, it will basically be successful."
"Is there a winner?"
"A slight difference is a thousand miles lost."
After listening, Kuang Cheng nodded: "It seems that practicing is not easy like studying, but Brother Ji will always win in the end, so there will be no surprise in this."
Ji You stopped listening and said, "Do you know who those people are? The young master from a family that cultivates immortality, the eldest lady whose family owns a mine, thousands of taels of pills are boring!"
"But Brother Ji is still confident, isn't he? You're just used to never telling anyone about something before it's done."
Kuang Cheng was more confident than him: "Maybe you are already thinking about becoming a head teacher."
Ji You was silent for a long time: "Actually, I have no money to eat, and I am thinking of robbing you of your five taels of silver."
"?"
"Hurry up!"
The corner of Kuang Cheng's mouth twitched, and finally he took out a deflated money bag from his own baggage and took out about eight taels of silver.
Seeing this scene, Ji You frowned for a moment and found that his bulging wallet was no longer bulging. He felt as uncomfortable as if his money had been stolen.
He pointed to the flower streets and willow lanes outside the window, and couldn't help but say: "You, a scholar, can't you be a yellow all day long?"
"Afraid all day long? Indeed, before entering the examination room, my heart could not calm down."
"No, what I mean is, as long as you don't become obscene, today is not the end?"
Kuang Cheng was stunned for a long time, and finally looked out the window with his finger, his face suddenly turned red, and he instantly understood his subtext: "Nonsense, Kuang is a gentleman!"
"Then my money... no, where did your money go?"
Ji You felt that the words were a bit hot, so he immediately turned 360 degrees and almost got it right.
Kuang Cheng glanced at his money bag and couldn't believe it: "This is my money!"
"Don't worry about whose money it is. You have been in Beijing for less than three days. How could such a big bag of money be spent so fast?"
"I donated."
Kuang Cheng murmured while tying his money bag: "Seeing that it will be winter in a few months, there is an orphanage in Xicheng that doesn't even have quilts. When I went to the bookstore to buy books, I saw it and donated it as soon as I got excited. ”
Ji You was silent for a long time, still feeling a little worried about his money.
Um, no, his money.
Two outstanding young people who came out of Yuyang County, now only have these few taels of silver left. How dare they see the wind in their fate, they are laughing to death.
Ji You pushed back the point he handed over: "Forget it, brother Zhuangyuan, don't starve to death without taking the exam, let's go."
"Brother Ji, don't just focus on the disciples in the inner courtyard. Remember to have a bigger goal and become the head teacher!"
"Got it."
