Chapter 32: The Clay Scholar (Subscription Requested)
"I concluded that this Zhang Shuo had been dead for at least a month, but three days ago, there were guys from the inn who saw him go out, and now there is a lot of noise above," Miao Sansi hurriedly walked downstairs and said to Yu Li and the others who were waiting for news, neither of them wanted to be involved in the murder case, so the matter of reporting the case was handed over to him.
"If according to Daoye's guess, this Zhang Shuo didn't know where to learn the means of sacrificing this Hei Wenchang pen, but he didn't expect the pen spirit to eat his own body and kill him to take the exam on his behalf, this monster has Zhang Budi's decades of resentment against the backlog of the imperial examination, and he is not cautious and careful when he is a person, so he naturally used witchcraft to make a big fuss. ”
"But where is this fake Zhang Shuo now?" asked Yu Shusheng.
"This is the trouble," Daoist Li said with a headache, Luodu has a population of nearly one million, second only to the capital Chang'an, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a spirit who has become a human.
"Senior brother, think about it, if you were this spirit, where would you go?" Miao Sansi said whimsically.
"I'm this spirit ......" Daoist Li complained, "How would I know, but if it's a Daoist, he will definitely masturbate two after the exam, but the problem is that there is no one in this era." ”
Yu Shusheng had an idea: "Since this spirit is transformed by Wenchang's pen, and is obsessed with Zhang Shuo, the place he goes to must be related to the imperial examination, if it is a student, then he must worship the Temple of Literature, participate in the Luming Banquet, receive the good news by the book, and climb the heights with his classmates, Shu Ping's ambition!"
"Yo, the process is very familiar, haven't you been so YY in your heart," Li Daoshi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But it makes sense, let's go to the Temple of Literature first." ”
However, it wasn't until before the curfew that Daoist Li and a few people rushed back to Jiafu, and the Taoist priest slapped the table and scolded: "It makes sense, I wasted a day on wandering around today, and I didn't even see a single hair, let alone this brush-shaped spirit!"
Yu Shusheng also had a blue face, and after looking for a day, he found nothing, but he was a Sven person, so he only gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't work today, tomorrow will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow, even if you turn over this Luodu, you will definitely find the monster of this bad guy's future!"
"You say this easily, you have fucking time, do you have time! If you can't catch this thing tomorrow, the Minister of Education will have to settle accounts with me, and it's not impossible to drop directly to the thunder and kill me, and then you will be responsible for crossing it again!"
"The two of you will dissipate your anger first, dissipate your anger," Miao Sansi wiped his sweat, these two masters are characters who can't be provoked, and it's not impossible to really fight.
The night breeze is blowing, the weather in April, there is still a little bit of spring coolness, several people are not sleepy, in the courtyard, Taoist Li sat without a form, his face was full of bad luck, Yu Shusheng stood, frowning and pondering, Miao Sansi leaned on the table and dozed off, the ugly lady looked at the Taoist priest, and then looked at the scholar, the little head melon didn't know what to think.
"Could it be that we are thinking in the wrong direction," Yu Shusheng said coldly.
Say. ”
"The places I went to before were all places where ordinary scholars should go after the middle school, but we didn't think about it, as an old talent who failed the exam for a long time, what did he want to do?"
"Returning home!!"
There are dozens of villages and townships outside the city of Luodu, among which there are township names Qingshui, surrounded by streams, beans, vegetable melons, and eggplants are planted all over the ground; the soil is splashed, and a horse destroys the tranquility here, and immediately two people, two men, well, Li Daoshi really can't ride a horse, his face is pale at the moment, his hands and feet tremble, and the horse turns over and falls to the ground as soon as it stops, and finds a corner to vomit.
Even Yu Shusheng, who has always been lonely, couldn't help but say: "I've never heard of motion sickness and seasickness, and I've never seen anyone seasick, this time it's really a long experience!"
"You nonsense! You chrysanthemum can resist it, I can't stand it, what is the way this horse is riding, do you have a sense of safe driving, and you will be deducted after two thousand years. ”
Yu Shusheng shook his head, ignored the nonsense of the Taoist priest in front of him, lowered his head and said to the jujube red horse, and he didn't need to be tied with a rope, the horse obediently ran to the side of the road and stood, quite a bit of intelligent parking.
"Where did you buy this BMW, the quality is good," Daoist Li had just finished despising the other party's technology, and began to envy his horse again, tall and handsome, with thick limbs, and a water of jujube red fur, if it hadn't run too fast, he wouldn't have been thrown upside down.
"Gifted by friends at home," Yu Shusheng said calmly.
After the Taoist priest recovered a little, the two of them entered the countryside with some heaviness, the Taoist priest's talisman, the scholar's sword, but they were tightly clenched in their hands, according to their investigation, this Zhang Shuo's hometown is here, and the two rushed over early in the morning.
"Are you looking for Old Man Zhang? He hasn't come back yet! I'm going to be an official in the big city, but this time it's still no fun," as the old man replied, there was a burst of laughter around, it seems that Zhang Shuo's reputation is not only circulating in the circle of scholars.
The Taoist priest didn't care about this, and hurriedly asked, "He really didn't come back?"
"No, although I'm dizzy, I can't see clearly for such a big person?"
"Does the old man know where his house is?" Yu Shusheng continued.
"From this trail to the end, one of the worst thatched huts is his house. ”
The house was really rotten, the thatch outside was a little moldy, the roof was not fully covered, if it rained heavily, maybe it would collapse in a rush, two broken wooden doors were hidden, there were not many furniture in them, the slanted bed, the broken pot stove, and the dusty tables and chairs, in addition, there was a loom and a blind old woman.
"Auntie, we are Zhang Shuo's classmates, come to see you, is he back?"
"My son, my son is back!?How did he do in the exam, did he get a lift?" the old woman suddenly looked excited, and her palms touched randomly.
"Hit, he's been lifted," Yu Shusheng's face twitched, and he said, "We want to come to visit him, but he hasn't come back yet?"
"No, why didn't he come back if he was lifted?
"No, no, it's probably because of the delay on the road, it won't be too long," it can be seen that the old woman's spirit seems to have some problems, and it took a while to stabilize her mood, and Yu Shusheng was able to get out, but his mood was not very good, this old woman reminded him of his grandmother, the old man who also wanted his son to become a dragon.
But there is another one who is in a worse mood, Li Daoshi is lying on the ridge with a depressed face, looking up and forking, seeing Yu Shusheng coming, he said weakly: "Do you know what is called a pig teammate, you are the fucking one! What else is the return to the hometown and glory, what is the head is the Tao, but what about the people? What about the ghost? Why don't you get one out for me! It's good now, maybe this girl is still enjoying it in Luodu, is it too late to rush back now?" It's useless to be a scholar, Dao Ye, what I hate most in my life is people like you, who have no ability, and like to rob girls everywhere......"
Yu Shusheng twitched the corners of his mouth, and said for a long time: "Borrow some money from you, this Zhang Shuo can't reduce taxes when he dies, his old mother must have a hard life, I want to help her." ”
"Alas, money, life does not bring death and does not bring it, Dao Ye look for it, whether twenty taels of silver is enough, take it, it will be regarded as a blessing before we die; ”
After Yu Shusheng persuaded the old woman to accept the money, he wanted to look for it nearby with the Taoist priest, but he saw this guy kneeling on the side of the road, with a Dharma seal in front of him, bowing again, kowtowing again, closing his eyes, and his mouth kept moving:" Master, your old man must cover me in the sky, although the apprentice didn't sacrifice you much after your autopsy, well, not once, but there is a way to be a teacher for one day and a father for life, you can't watch your son being killed by others, the apprentice told you, the people and immortals in the education system throughout the ages, the heart is black! The apprentice has eaten broken canteens, lived in rotten dormitories, and paid all kinds of messy fees in his last life, and this life is even more miserable, and he was directly played by the Minister of Education in the sky!"
"Maybe the deflated calf will summon the apprentice again at night, you must come to save me then, we are the eighth generation of the Qingcheng faction, in the future, this will be passed on to the next generation, and the task of carrying forward the vast number of the sect will have to be handed over to us, if you feel that one person can't stand it, then call our master, ancestor, and ancestor together, alas! After the reform, aren't we messing with the Sanqing master, you go to them to cry, apprentice, I have the title for you to think about, "Heavenly Court Immortals deceive Taoist people, suspected of destroying the peace of the Immortal Dao" , insurance point, is there a department similar to the Commission for Discipline Inspection on this......"
Yu Shusheng shook his head, this guy should be crazy, so he went around alone, but on the hillside to the east of the village, several village children chased and ran down the slope, jumping and jumping, the scholar's heart moved, and he hurriedly grabbed one and asked, "Do you know where the grave of the people in this village is?"
"It's all buried behind the slope, don't tell others, A-Niang never allowed me to go!"
When Yu Shusheng arrived at the cemetery of this village, he saw an old figure standing in front of a certain tombstone, and his mouth kept thinking about it: "Daddy, I have finally been admitted to the lifting of people, I want to revitalize our old Zhang family! Really, their top three in the government test and the first place in the county test are not as good as me, hahahaha, they are not even on the second list......
"Zhen'er, after my Yu family is a loyal minister, this matter of revitalizing the family business and serving the court will fall on your shoulders, remember! You can't fall, you are the only man in my Yu family!"
"Yes, Zhen'er remembers," the four-year-old boy bowed and bowed to the old woman with a dragon head crutch in front of him.
"Hehe, you want to revitalize the family business like me, can I help you," in Yu Shusheng's kung fu, the 'Zhang Shuo' had already stood in front of him, smiling dryly, as if his two eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets.
"Township test, meeting test, palace test, how about the three yuan and the first? Since the founding of this dynasty, the first three-yuan champion!"
"The ancestral foundation, the Yu family's family motto, the loyal minister Yu Gu, and the broken court, don't you want to?" 'Zhang Shuo' seems to extend his tentacles to the deepest part of Yu Zhen's heart, to tease, to seduce......
Yu Shusheng's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his gaze became more and more fanatical, "Enough!!" The sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed, piercing Zhang Shuo in front of him, sweating profusely, but his eyes were very bright, "I'd rather take it in the straight than ask for it, I'm different from you!"
"Hehe," 'Zhang Shuo' laughed weirdly, the wound on his chest oozed muddy water, and then slowly merged, "You can't kill me, because, I'm you!"
He changed his shape, and the two Yu scholars faced each other, with the same expressions, the same movements, and even the sword in his hand was the same cold light! )
