Chapter 221 Opening the Mountain Gate

"Good news! Congratulations, Master Ning Jibo, Yayuan, the ninth place in the Dingzhou Township Examination in high school, and the Beijing News has been awarded the Yellow Armor!"

Outside the restaurant, the high-pitched voice of the messenger came, beating gongs and drums, with joy.

Ning Bo rewarded his face with sadness and joy, and prepared money to send people away.

"Congratulations to Brother Ning High School!"

Other fellow villagers or acquaintances came forward to congratulate, even if they were jealous, they suppressed it.

The township exam is extremely difficult, and stepping past this step is equivalent to half an official body.

In this era, it represents privilege and class.

If nothing else, the Great Zhou Taizu decided that he would have 200 mu of tax-free farmland, but the amount of farmland and tenant farmers that could actually be sheltered was far more than that.

In the later period of the dynasty, this right would be even greater.

After all, are scholars who govern the world? What is convenient with others is what is convenient with oneself.

In addition, you can also go to the capital to take the jinshi examination. Once you get the pass, you will get on the official train, but the sky will go straight.

Even if you don't get hit and return to your hometown, you can fully guarantee a good life and not be bullied.

You can even directly fill the official position, although it is lower.

All in all, judging people in the exam is indeed jumping over the gantry, and it has been very different from then on.

Ning Bosun was in a daze. For several days, he followed the same year in Zhongju to visit a teacher, and he had several banquets. On this day, when he was drunk, he returned to the inn and saw a fellow scholar packing his bags. , couldn't help asking: "Wang Xiucai, are you leaving now?"

"I didn't pass the exam, I was about to leave. The reason why I stayed for a few days was just an invitation from a friend to see that Fang Xiandao opened the mountain gate..."

Wang Xiucai's eyebrows were a little gloomy: "Now my hometown is being attacked by bandits... My parents don't want me to go back, but as a son of man, how can I tolerate this?"

Ning Boshang sighed, and stopped talking, instead he comforted a few words: "I heard that the imperial court has sent His Royal Highness King Jin to come, and also brought the imperial court heavenly soldiers, the rebellion in the mere district will be pacified soon, it is better to go to the Immortal together tomorrow. On the mountain, relax..."

...

the next day.

Climb Xianshan.

Fang Xiandao's mountain gate is wide open, and the towering buildings are continuous. Although it is newly built, it has a different charm.

"Autumn is full of beauty, and life is hidden... but there is a sense of Taoism..."

Guests from all over the world gathered, and among them was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was dressed in a blue shirt and seemed to have a reputation as a scholar, but he was not very eye-catching.

After all, a group of officials have come, and it is really nothing.

Middle-aged people are also happy, walking around and watching at will.

This person is the staff of the King of Jin, Mr. Zhou Zhu, Zhou Da.

King Jin was appointed. Although he was still on his way, it was his intention to send his confidants to inquire about the situation in Dingzhou.

Zhou Zhu just showed his mind a little and was dispatched.

Coincidentally, I caught up with the ceremony of Fang Xiandao's opening of the mountain gate, and naturally I won't miss it.

'I heard that this Fangxian Dao has annexed the Dao veins such as Baodan School and Tongxuanguan, and it really has a deep foundation. Maybe there is a hope for the Taoist door in the future? ’

Zhou Zhu thought to himself, and saw a group of scholars walking by, the leader seemed to be a young Juren.

'what? This man...'

His eyes were bright, and he practiced the secret method of observing people: 'It seems to be a bit arrogant? Although he is still a leader, his future prospects are limitless. Do you want to introduce him to the prince? ’

While thinking about it, I heard the morning bells and evening drums humming together on the top of the mountain.

"The auspicious time has come, open the mountain gate!"

Tonghezi stood in front of the mountain gate, and Quan greeted the guests and shouted with great vigour.

The bells and drums vibrate,

It seems to wash away the hustle and bustle of the world, making people enter a fairyland.

"This is……"

Zhou Zhu rubbed his eyes and looked at the roadside.

I saw an unknown wild flower, blooming in an instant, and the autumn color of the mountains turned into spring in an instant.

"When the flowers bloom?"

"In the legend, the magical power of the ancient immortals?"

Ning Bo admired a wild flower, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, only to feel the fragrance coming from his nostrils, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The flower was so real and true that he couldn't help but be amazed.

"grown ups……"

On the mountain road, a tolerance couldn't help looking at his Shangguan, only to see Shangguan's gloomy expression, but he didn't speak, he waved his hand: "Tell me the truth..."

Whether it is pretending to be a ghost, or really having supernatural powers, as long as the momentum is big and the reputation is big, the government is often not allowed.

But this time the goal is too hard, even the city can't handle it.

Fortunately, King Jin is coming soon, they just need to record everything truthfully and leave it to the king to make a decision.

Pedestrians kept going up the hill and finally converged on the square.

I saw the five qi gathered together and turned into a clear cloud of Qingqing Qingyun the size of an acre. One person sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, and said a mysterious voice: "The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, the robbery is the robbery, the very robbery! The robbery is life and death, karma, silence..."

"Meet the fairy!"

Seeing this scene, the people were stunned, even some wealthy businessmen and scholars knelt down.

Zhou Zhu was mixed in the crowd. Seeing this scene, he only felt a shock, and his eyes almost burst into tears: "It's true! Immortal, true immortal! Our road to longevity has not been cut off!"

He calmed down and listened carefully to Fang Xian's preaching.

However, he found that the Taoist only spoke for a while, and then stopped continuing, which made him anxious when he was hearing the subtleties.

"This time, this Dao has opened the mountain gate. Anyone who enters the mountain is a person who is destined. They can worship the mountain gate, or go to find an opportunity..."

After Fang Xian said the last sentence, the surrounding clouds and mists shrouded him, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"The immortal asked me to wait for the opportunity? Could it be that there is some treasure hidden?"

Next to Ning Bosang, a scholar's eyes brightened: "Everyone... If you don't look for it at this time, when will you wait?"

Ning Bo's reward was a step slower, and when he saw the escorts dispersed in a hurry, he also laughed dumbly: "Even if the immortals leave treasures, they are only given to those who are destined... This is a matter of fate, how can you force it?"

With this thought in mind, he walked around Fangxian Dao to play.

"Although the Taoist temple here is newly built, everything is in good order, which is extraordinary... ah... immortal, immortal..."

Ning Boshang's eyes were a little dazed.

In fact, he doesn't have much ambition for a career.

Especially after seeing the invincible white ape monster and another immortal showing miracles, a kind of unwillingness emerged in the bottom of my heart.

Am I going to live an ordinary life like this, turning into a dead bone, but seeing other people become immortals at ease?

Do not! Do not!

Unwillingly, I suddenly came to a flowerbed.

"what?"

Ning Boshang looked at a big red flower and bones, his eyes suddenly couldn't move.

At this time, in the sympathy of Qi and machine, the huge flower bone blossomed suddenly, revealing an elixir in the flower stamen.

"This is... chance? The chance the immortal gave me?"

Ning Boshang's heart moved, and he saw that no one was paying attention, and quickly put away the medicine pill and put it into his cuff.

This elixir is the 'Jie Dan' refined by Fang Xian. It is claimed that the blood of the white ape is used as medicine, but it is actually fooled by the blood of the tiger demon and the eagle demon. Even so, it is infinitely useful.

At the same time, Zhou Zhu's heart was beating wildly, something was hidden in his arms, and he quickly descended the mountain.
