Luo Yin knelt in front of the grave like this, talking to Zhang Xingzhi who was sleeping underground, forgetting the time, forgetting that the people underground had long since turned to dust and could no longer hear his own words.

When the morning sun shone on the grave on the second day, Luo Yin was shocked to realize that the night had passed, the candles in front of the tomb had already burned out, and the weeds on the grave reflected the morning sun.

Luo Yin stood up and slowly pulled up the weeds on the grave one by one. He didn't use any mana, just cleared the weeds from the grave of his deceased elders like an ordinary mortal.

It took more than an hour to finally pull out all the weeds, and then returned to Qingyang Temple.

Return to the temple and clean the entire Taoist temple inside and out, up and down. Although this temple is a little dilapidated, after such a cleaning, it has gradually returned to its former appearance.

I stayed in the temple for a while, accompanied by green mountains and flowing waters, and enjoyed a rare tranquility. No longer thinking about the future, no longer worrying about whether he can survive the Jindan difficulty, just waiting quietly, smelling the fresh breath of the mountains, listening to the birds and insects around him, and going to Zhang Xingzhi's grave every day to talk to him.

After seven or eight days, he came to Zhang Xingzhi's grave again, poured him three glasses of water and wine, and then said, "Master, the disciple is leaving." I still have a lot of things to do, people to meet, and commitments to accomplish...... If he is able to achieve the golden pill one day, he will come back and report the good news to you. If I can't make it this far, I'll come back and be with you forever. ”

With that, he kowtowed three times to the tomb, then turned to leave.

......

The northern foot of the Qingyang Mountains, Qingyang County.

Because of its proximity to the Qingyang Mountains, this small county is named after Qingyang. As the name suggests, this county is ordinary, not a prosperous place, with a small population and a low culture. Over the years, there have only been a few people in the county, and it is considered to be a place where literature and Taoism are not prosperous.

As the commander of Qingyang County, Liu Wenju has the responsibility of educating the people, and often sponsors talented students, hoping to change the backward situation of Qingyang County's cultural governance. However, the people here are more than strong, but the culture is really insufficient, and years of hard work have not yielded much results.

It's just that I don't know if it's because his years of governance have been effective, or if Wenqu Xingjun has finally favored this remote place, and there is a scholar in Qingyang County in this scientific examination.

Sun Anping, the son of the city tailor Sun, became the first Jinshi in the history of Qingyang County, and he was also the twelfth in the second class.

Under the rule of Shizi High School Jinshi, which made him feel that his face was bright, and he finally no longer had to be ridiculed by his colleagues from time to time. The most important thing is that there is a second-class jinshi under his rule, which proves his Liu Wenju's merits in cultural governance, and will be remembered in this year's assessment, changing the assessment record of the previous years, which will always be the middle and lower.

Early this morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Xianling got up early, put on his official uniform, sorted out his clothes and belts, and prepared to go out. Because today, the new Jinshi will return to Qingyang County, as the official of this parent, Liu County Ling naturally cannot be absent, and at the same time, a grand ceremony has been prepared to welcome the triumphant return of the first Jinshi in Qingyang County.

Although I had learned the news of Sun Anping High School a month ago, and every household in the county was bursting with firecrackers, at that time, Xinke Jinshi was still far away in the capital and could not feel the eagerness of his hometown. Now that the new science and technology has finally returned home, it is natural for him to accept the glory he deserves.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

Liu Wenju saw that the time was almost up, sat in the sedan chair that had been prepared a long time ago, brought all kinds of gifts, and walked towards the Sun family in the city.

Today's Sun family is already full of guests, and the small tailor shop and backyard have long been crowded with people watching the excitement. Everyone wants to get a touch of the new science and technology at this time, so that their own family can also produce a scholar.

Scholars have always been respected by the people, and in Qingyang County, where the literary style is not flourishing, a talented man is already extremely enviable, and he is even more unattainable in the eyes of the people.

But this Sun family was able to produce a Jinshi, in the eyes of the people, I don't know how many generations of blessings the Sun family has accumulated, so that the heavenly Wenqu Xingjun went down to earth and was born to the Sun family.

The surrounding people were all admired, and they all wanted to see the demeanor of the new science and technology jinshi, so they came to the Sun family early to wait.

The Sun family's tailor shop has been closed since the news of Sun Anping's high school came, and the Sun family stayed at home, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and hoping that his son would come back soon.

Listening to the county order, Sun hurriedly went out to welcome Liu County's order. Liu Xianling praised the Sun family for a while, and they all praised her for raising a good son and winning glory for the entire Qingyang County.

Sun is just a tailor, an ordinary person, who has been treated like this by the county order, and responded with sincere fear. After talking for a while, Liu Xianling sat down in the house and waited with Sun for the return of the new branch jinshi.

Sun sat next to Liu County's order, chatting with each other, anxiously waiting for his son to come back. She deliberately wore a brand new dress today, which looked particularly energetic, and for a while people only felt that she was not a tailor, but a graceful and luxurious official family.

The dress on her body was carefully cut out after she learned that her son was in high school, and she was going to wear it on this important day, so as not to embarrass her son.

Sun absentmindedly coped with the enthusiasm of Liu Xianling and his neighbors, and glanced at the door from time to time, anxious why he hadn't come yet.

Just when Sun almost couldn't help but want to go out and wait outside the door, a noise of gongs and drums came in, and an eldest lady ran into the room, panting and shouting to Sun: "Sister-in-law of the Sun family, here, here, almost to the door......"

Sun felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and stood up directly and looked out the door.

After a while, a young man about thirty years old walked in quickly, came straight to Sun, pulled his placket, and knelt down in front of Sun.

"Mother, the child is back, the child is back from high school!"

This young man is naturally Sun Anping, a new science and technology jinshi.

Sun looked at his son, who he hadn't seen for a long time, his eyes suddenly moistened, and he hurriedly pulled his son up, "Hurry up, hurry up, my son has a future, a ...... is a future."

Sun Anping said to his mother: "After the child is in high school, he wants to return immediately to tell his mother the good news, but the Son of Heaven set up a Qionglin banquet and praised the official parade in the street, which delayed for a lot of time and made his mother wait for a long time." ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Sun looked at his son, only felt that he had no regrets in this life, and he didn't know what to say to express his feelings, so he could only say with a little choked up.
