"The way of heaven or the way of man, which one is the great road?"

In the first session of the general examination, the first question is such a big question and it is also a hot topic.

In recent years, there has been considerable debate on this issue between the government and the public, and it has been widely involved.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the "Way of Heaven" represents the practitioner, while the "Way of Man" represents the secular imperial power.

So, which one is the real avenue?

Now that they have entered the examination room and embarked on the road to the imperial examination, there is no doubt that the buttocks of the candidates are naturally sitting on the side of the imperial power system. Without thinking, they use their pens as fast as they can, and they all praise "the way of man".

Whoever stands on the "Way of Heaven" at this time, wouldn't that be a fool?

Chen Youniao sat in the narrow examination room. After some deliberation, he started writing. He did not choose one of the two, but wrote two in one.

Heaven and man are one!

…

It rained again. The spring rain was continuous, like dense spider silk, wetting the streets and alleys of the capital.

The fact that Qi Jianxia entered the palace to assassinate her was not spread widely. This matter was too sensitive and had great impact. Those who knew about it knew how to use their discretion and did not dare to talk nonsense.

Moreover, Qi Jianxia's operation this time was a complete failure. He did not see Emperor Zhengming at all. When he sneaked into the Forbidden City, his whereabouts were exposed, he was besieged, and then he escaped with injuries.

The practitioners who transformed into gods were severely suppressed in the capital city, especially the Forbidden City of Gods, which was simply a restricted area for Taoism and the cemetery of Yin gods.

As a Taoist leader, Qi Jianxia knew a lot of inside information about Shou'an City. In the previous dynasty, the capital was originally located in Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, when the Dayin Dynasty was established, it was decided to move the capital north and make Shou'an its capital.

A new city is established as a capital, with great latitude and longitude, and a grand layout...

This huge project took three emperors of the dynasty before it was finally completed, and it immediately became famous all over the world and was called "the best city in the world"!

Inside the capital city, every step is being taken. Every street and every gate has its own distribution and orientation. They are linked together, adhering to the mighty power of heaven and earth, gathering millions of people's hearts, and creating the supreme matrix.

The arrow towers are like eyes, patrolling every movement in the city.

A Taoist master once lamented: "When longevity rises, Taoism falls!"

Therefore, when moving around in such a majestic city and doing certain things, you must be careful.

…

Lao Tan saw Qi Jianxia wearing a moonlight skirt and holding an oil-paper umbrella, and asked: "Girl, are you going out?"

Qi Jianxia replied: "I'm leaving."

Lao Qin said "Ah", he didn't expect her to leave at this time, and the husband never told her.

Qi Jianxia smiled and said, "Just pretend I've never been here, he will understand." He held an umbrella and went out, quickly disappearing on the street.

She was going to buy medicine. As Chen Youniao said, the medicine she was carrying was not symptomatic and had little effect on the five poisonous fingers, so she had to prepare it separately.

But Qi Jianxia knew very well what this meant.

There are not many medicines that can treat five poisonous fingers, and they are even harder to buy. As for Ouchi, they will definitely make a fuss about it, or even set a trap, just waiting for her to take the bait.

Fortunately, Qi Jianxia is not an ordinary person. She knows some special channels through which she can buy the medicine she needs.

So, after Chen Youniao entered the examination room, Qi Jianxia no longer needed to stay, so she chose to leave.

The raindrops curled up in thousands of strands, and there was an inexplicable sadness.

After walking through several blocks, we came to a group of low buildings.

The place is geographically remote, between the inner city and the outer city, and is a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

Under the eaves on both sides, there were many gangsters nesting there. When they saw the beautiful and generous Qi Jianxia under the umbrella, their eyes widened. Some of the brave ones couldn't help but whistle and yelled: "This is

Where are you going, young lady?"

"But you're looking for a man?"

"Haha, I am a strong man."

Qi Jianxia ignored it and walked straight through, heading into the distance.

The gangsters looked at her back and swallowed their saliva, but no one really dared to come up and do anything. Taking advantage of her verbally was already the limit.

They are gangsters, but when they encounter suspicious people with unknown origins, they never dare to commit crimes. Because they are not afraid of death and commit crimes, they are basically dead...

After passing through this chaotic neighborhood, the streets became more and more deserted. After walking for a while, our eyes suddenly opened up and we came to the shore of a lake.

There are lakes in Haidai County, and there are also lakes in the capital, and they are bigger and more numerous.

Weeping willows are usually planted near lakes. In the spring breeze and rain, the willow leaves turn green.

There was a small boat moored under one of the old willow trees, and a boatman was sitting on the bow, wearing a raincoat, holding a pole and fishing.

Qi Jianxia walked over and boarded the boat with light steps. She stretched out her hand and took out a coin from her waist.

This coin has a round square hole, is generous and delicate, and looks like a talisman coin, but its entire body is strikingly red gold.

Qi Jianxia threw her hand, and the money fell accurately into the fish basket beside the boatman, making a sonorous sound.

The middle-aged boatman stood up quickly, held the fish basket in his arms, and said with a smile on his face: "Sit down, heroine, let's sail the boat."

Untie the cable, move the long pole, and the boat sails out.

Qi Jianxia did not sit down, she was still standing, holding an oil-paper umbrella. From a distance, it looked like an ink painting.

The boat was traveling very fast. As it passed through the mist, the scenery ahead suddenly changed, as if it had entered another world.

Secret realm, this is another secret realm!

Compared to the Dragon Girl Temple that Huamei went to, the secret place here is undoubtedly much larger, with mountains and flowing water, and a lively fishing village below, with pedestrians coming and going, and various human voices, just like the outside world.

New Territories Village!

A stone tablet has the name of the place written on it.

The boat docked and Qi Jianxia disembarked. There was no wind or rain in the secret area, so there was no need to hold an umbrella. This was not her first time in the New Territories Village. She knew the route and did not stop at the market outside. She went directly into the village and finally ended up in a mud-brick thatched roof.

Stopped in front of the house.

There is an iron signboard hanging under the eaves. There is no word on the signboard, but a nine-leaf flower and grass are engraved on it.

Qi Jianxia pushed the door open and went in. The facilities in the house were quite simple, with only a counter and the rest of the place empty.

A man was dozing on the counter.

Qi Jianxia walked to the counter, took out another piece of money, jingled, and threw it into an iron plate on the counter.

The man suddenly stopped dozing off, stood up quickly, and put the money into his arms: "It turns out to be Qi Nuxia."

Qi Jianxia said: "I want to buy medicine."

"Please order."

Qi Jianxia took out a piece of plain paper with the names of various medicines to be purchased written on it.

The man glanced at it and quickly calculated the result: "It's eight qian in total, plus one qian for the medicine."

Qi Jianxia counted out nine pieces of money and handed them over. The man collected the money and said politely: "Nvxia Qi, please come and sit in the elegant room No. 3 and wait a moment."

After saying that, he handed over a wooden sign.
Chapter completed!
