Anseong in September, summer and autumn cool.

In the Ancheng Gongyuan in the southeast of the city, the chief examiner in charge of this year's township examination sat in the hall, and at this moment he frowned, first took a sip of the tea that had already been brewed in the teacup, and then said to a small official below: "You mean, the flat house has been in disrepair for a long time, and it suddenly collapsed, and one of the candidates who took the exam inside was smashed?

When the last sentence was spoken, the examiner spoke sternly, and threw the teacup on the wooden table, the lid of which fell on the table with a loud noise.

The little official was startled, and hurriedly pressed his body lower: "This matter has been ordered by the official to investigate, and he will definitely give an explanation to the adult, but fortunately, the test is big, and he just smashed a hole on his head, although he fainted with blood, but the medical officer looked at it and said that it was no big deal, and he would be diagnosed and treated, and his life would be worry-free." ”

"That's fine, if someone dies, you can't eat and walk around. The examiner's tone softened a little at this time, straightened his clothes, and then got up and said, "Let's go, take the official to see the candidate." ”

The little official hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and led the way.

In the Gongyuan Township Examination, if the candidate dies because of the collapse of the number room, it will definitely cause trouble, and it must be that a group of people will be unlucky.

This definitely includes this examiner.

A lack of supervision alone is enough to make him bear a fault, and if any opponent makes a fuss about this matter and attacks him, then he will not have a good time in the future. However, if there is no big problem for people, they can turn big things into small things, and everyone knows this truth.

In front of a remote room in the Gongyuan, you can see that half of this room has collapsed, and on the front steps, there is a young man with a broken head and bleeding, covered in dirt, who is holding his teeth tightly at the moment, and he doesn't know who is going to do it.

There were a few people around, and a medical officer opened the medical book he was carrying, and performed a small trick to treat the young man.

As soon as the examiner came, everyone immediately stood up and saluted, and the examiner waved his hand and asked, "How is it?"

The medical officer got up and said, "Returning to Lord Xie, the lower official has already treated him to stop the bleeding and performed a small rejuvenation technique, and when he wakes up, it should be fine." ”

Hearing the medical officer say this, this Xie Da was truly relieved.

"Since there is nothing to do, let him rest first, and seal this room for me, don't disturb other candidates in this matter, after all, the township test is important, and other adults also have a lot of affairs, how can you be distracted by these little things." After Master Xie finished speaking, he remembered something again, and asked again: "Now that you have passed the second subject, right?"

This township examination, according to the usual practice, a total of five subjects, for law, calligraphy, politics, art, and five subjects, divided into two days to complete, today is the first day, the first subject of 'law' has just been examined, rest for a while, and then start the second subject 'book'.

Hearing this, Master Xie shook his head, glanced at the candidate whose face was covered with blood and was still fainting, and said, "It's a pity." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Everyone knows what he means, the township test is five subjects, and when the final assessment is not missing, this candidate did not finish the first subject, and he was smashed unconscious, even if he wakes up now, this first subject will not be able to catch up. If you don't have the results of one subject, no matter how good the rest of the subjects are, it will not help, and it is impossible to pass.

That's why Master Xie said it was a pity.

After Master Xie left, someone immediately carried the fainting candidate to the Gongyuan Medical Hall, after all, it was not a matter to lie here, and it was even more unsightly.

The writer in charge of the records of the Gongyuan needs to record the process of the township examination, and after some inquiry, he thought about it and wrote on the record: Chu Xian, a candidate from Anchengling County, was absent from the examination due to illness at the third hour of the first day of September in the autumn of the Tiantang Dynasty in the autumn of 4995......

When Chu Xian woke up, it was already the second day.

The blood on his head had been wiped clean, and the wound had also been treated by the medical officer with a small rejuvenation technique, but after waking up, Chu Xian still felt a splitting headache, not because of the wound, but because of the real dream he had experienced before.

In the dream, he actually experienced more than 30 years, until he was nearly half a hundred years old, and then he was interrupted, because he woke up.

The things in the dream are too real, as if he has experienced it himself, year after year, day by day, he remembers it clearly, if he hadn't suddenly woken up, looked at the things in front of him and slowly recalled the memories, Chu Xian didn't even know that he was in a dream before.

"There was a dream in ancient times, so does this count as me?" After a long time, Chu Xian muttered to himself.

At this time, he also remembered how he was dizzy before, when he was taking the first subject in the number room, and as soon as he was halfway through writing, he heard a strange sound overhead, and then there was a click, and the beam of the house broke, and it smashed directly on his head.

Everything was recalled.

Chu Xian looked at the sky outside the window, suddenly exclaimed, and jumped off the bed. At this moment, it is the time to start the second subject, how is this good, you must know that he has not finished the first subject.

In a hurry, Chu Xian hurriedly ran out, and happened to run into a medical officer, from which he learned that he had actually fallen asleep for a day and a night, and he almost didn't faint again. It turned out to be the second day, and the fourth subject had just been completed, and the exam for the fifth subject, 'Strategy', would soon begin.

In other words, he actually missed the entire four exams in front of him.

At this moment, Chu Xian stood still, as if struck by lightning.

Seeing this, the medical officer also knew that for a candidate, this time the township test was completely useless, and the name of the list student was not to be considered, so he comforted: "Let's take the exam again next year, you must know that even if the five subjects are completed, the candidates who can really pass the list of students are less than one percent. ”

Speaking of this, the medical officer was obviously very proud, and there was a kind of smugness, don't look at him as just a petty official from the Jiupin Chinese Medicine Pavilion who was subordinate to the Ministry of Officials. But no matter how small an official is, he is also an official, he can also be named in the official canon, get shelter, academic law, hold authority, and become a master, from now on, the villagers will treat you as a capable person, and treat you with respect, that is, the beautiful lady who used to disdain you, will also take the initiative to show goodwill, and the matchmaker will grind the threshold flattened.

That's where the value of the examination comes in.

In addition, the medical officer also wants to tell Chu Xian, even if you don't miss the exam, you won't be able to pass the exam nine times out of ten, so why bother with it.

The medical officer's smug Chu Xian didn't care, he was naturally depressed at the moment, after all, he had studied hard for many years, was familiar with many classics, and his head was hanging over the beam.

And the absence of four subjects shows that there is no chance again, at least not this year.

Chu Xian naturally knows this, if he is still the previous Chu Xian, he will definitely be hit and decadent and disappointed, but after that strange dream, Chu Xian is no longer the same as before.

Thirty years of dreaming, one hundred and twenty spring and autumn, what I have experienced, what I have learned, and what I have precipitated have far surpassed my peers, to put it bluntly, it is the difference in mood.

Now Chu Xian actually accepted this result very calmly, and with the emergence of memories in the dream, Chu Xian's state of mind has begun to change.

If you miss the exam, you will miss the exam, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to worry about it, but it is better to think about how to go in the future.

This kind of calmness is that Chu Xian himself feels a little incredible, at this moment, Chu Xian completely calmed down from the chaos after waking up just now.

Chu Xian didn't think too much about this township test, he still thought about the previous dream.

Chu Xian didn't feel like a dream.

If it is a dream, why do you remember everything in the dream, and why do you remember the knowledge gained in the dream clearly, as if it had really been tempered over many years and thousands of years, as if it had really been experienced.

In this township exam in his dream, he was not smashed in the head, but successfully completed the exam. However, although he took all five subjects, he did not pass and became a top student. The next year's re-examination, it's the same, I didn't pass until the third year, and then I was lucky to get into the office, first to be a small official without official products, and three years later, I got through to the ninth grade and became a small clerk of a county-level bureaucracy.

This from the ninth grade, he has been doing it for eight years.

After that, I got a chance to be promoted, and in the end, the official and the fourth rank achieved the official position in Shilang, which can be regarded as a success.

In addition, in the dream, Chu Xian's mother died of a serious illness a year after this township exam, and because of this, Chu Xian had not yet gotten out of the pain of losing his mother in the second year, so he failed the exam again, but when he became famous in the future, every time he thought of his mother who had worked hard to bring him up, his heart ached like a knife.

"Fortunately, it's just a dream, a dream, not real!" Chu Xian thought of the scene in the dream at this time, and he was also sweating profusely, muttering to himself, at this time he saw a few books on the bookshelf of the medical hall, and when he saw the title of the book, Chu Xian thought again, this is the "Rejuvenation Medical Codex", which is a work in the Medical Taoism Sutra.

It's just that the next moment, Chu Xian thought of something, and his face turned pale.

He hadn't read the "Rejuvenation Medical Dictionary", and it was impossible for him to know the content of this medical dictionary, but why did he suddenly have the content of the "Rejuvenation Medical Dictionary" in his mind just now, and he remembered every word clearly, and it felt as if he had read it, and he had read it more than once, and he could memorize it.

Because in that dream, he had indeed read this classic, and had studied the Tao of Medicine, and he was still a master of the Tao of Medicine.

In order to verify, Chu Xian stepped forward and took down the thick copy of the "Rejuvenation Medical Codex" and looked through it, and soon, he threw the book on the table, if he saw it, his eyes were full of shock.

The content in it was exactly the same as what he knew.

The dream is real!

Chu Xian's brain was buzzing at this time.
